The New York Age. --- Action Pictures, Victrola and Games Among the Many Things Introduced by the Association Secretaries— 20,000 Sheets of Writing Paper Given Away. (BY THOMAS E. TAYLOR.) During the stay of the Fifteenth Regiment at Camp Whitman the Y. M. C. A. provided most of the entertainment for the soldiers. Four secretaries were kept busy waiting on the men. B. F. Seldon looked after the educational side of the work and W. P. Tucker was in charge of the general work. A large barrel of ice water was one of the centers of attraction. A little organ furnished much entertainment, as it was used for all sorts of music from the most solen religious hymns to the latest syncopated selections. In fact, the Young Men's Christian Association was the home of the men who relieved from camp duties. One thing that must be said to credit it the men was that somebody with a mistaken notion of the desires of Negro men brought a cheap burlesque show to the business enterprise had to go out of business at the end of one week, as it was not informed sufficient to exist. I counted one night thirty-one men who attended. This, I was told, was one of largest audiences that had been there. When this is compared with the seven eight hundred men at the religious meetings at the association tent, it only goes to show the calibre of the members of the Fifteenth. They have within them the desire for the best and all that is required is to have it best. Over two hundred of these men agree in all which is organized among the enlisted mether whereby they signed the following pledge: "I hereby pledge my allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior and King, and by his help will fight his battles for the victory of His Kingdom." In addition to this, over one hundred, took the forward step at different religious settings. The Church has a tradition for a sun-rise common service and divine service at 9 o'clock and at 10 by the visiting priest for a Catholic service. Men Undergo Great Transformation. None but those who have spent some time in camp know of the transformation that can take place in the lives of men under discipline for two or three weeks. When we first opened a camp, we was a large affair, 40 x 80, the men were a little careless in their language. However, before long this passed away, and they were more careful not only around the tents but throughout the camp. The association did a splendid work with them in camp, and became the most active of the activities. The first night the tent was opened it was impossible for the men to get inside. The singing of "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow," that night was such an inspiration to many men they spoke of it afterwards. The service said he had never heard it sung in a camp before and never heard it sung so well in his life. One of the pleasing things to the association workers was that the religious meetings were tended equally as well as those of a nature. The fact, the most astonishing thing, those of a purely religious character. Through stunt nights much, talent was discovered, as the men of the regiment offered the entertainment. Each man was given an opportunity to do whatever he could. The band, under the leadership of Bandmaster Mikel co-operated with the association in every particular. The singing of Noble Sister drum major, was highly appreciated by all. The ministers of the surrealist country also co-operated in a large success in making the meeting and the rev. George Wells and the counterpart from Poughkeepsie at various times to help make the meetings a success. The Rev. Mrs. Swarte and the County Secretary of the Young. Men's Christian Association also assisted. The tent was well supplied with read- mier by the "Daughters of the Revolution from Poughkeepsie and the Rotary Club of Newburgh. The association tent was furnished with all that goes to make up a recreation center. The long tables on either side were supplied with writing-material during the winter at camp. Over 25,000 envelope paper were given to the men free of charge by the association. Ink and pens were at their disposal. Athletic outfits, consisting of baseball, basketball, boxing, gloves, quoits were also provided. Several apsendid games of baseball were between teams from various companies arranged. W. H. Kindle, who had charge of the physical work. A Victrola with fifty assorted records was kept going by the men from morning to evening. Call to quarters when machine completed at 9:15. Picture machine completed the cottage. Fifteenth A Fine Group of Men. "It has been truly said that if we wish to know a man we must live with him. It was my privilege to be associated with the seventh regiment for three weeks at Cranfield. When finer group of men physically I do not think it has ever been my privilege to see. It was my opportunity to note many of them during their examinations. I have been a better Federal service. As a whole, a better group of men cannot be found anywhere. Many, pleasing things occurred during my stay at the camp. When we went there, it was true some of the men had never been in camp before, and, of course, were new to some of the conditions surrounding a camp; but the men, the men and the kindly consideration given them and the officers soon brought about a spirit of harmony and contentment. Camp life to the uninitiated man is at first a hard one. It is hard-for a man to go to bed at 9:30 when he has been in the habit of spending half of the night in social enjoyment, but when added to this, the custom of rising at five o'clock he soon courted the hour of early rehearsal, the hour of camp-life, with its daily routine of work, good wholesome meals at stated times soon give a man an equipose that is discernable at a glance. The officers of the regiment impressed me as a body of men interested in those who were under their command, each one being particularly proud of the group directly in his charge. The feeliness of the men toward their officers is that of a man who made this spirit is perhaps more noticeable at any other time, each company vying with the other to bring before their Colonel the best company line. Perhaps no officer in the regiment, holds a higher respect of the men than does the chaplain, Dr. W. H. Brooks, whose kindly courtly manner and fatherly attention, associated by all Colonel Hayward, whom he admired, more interest in his men by seeing that a swimming pool was provided. He labored daily until a little stream was dammed up so that a five-foot pool was the result, and the men were permeated to go in daily. It was interesting to see a company going from camp to camp, the pool, each with towel and soap and returning singing with a joyousness that comes to a man only when he has received the benefit of a good swim. It was a question who enjoyed the swimming more, the men or the officers in command, as it was the custom for the officers of each company to go in with their men. That man was the only one who the men was evidenced by the fact that no catastrophe from this angle occurred during camp. The little stores that had only the thought of money-making by selling to the men the things that appealed to their fancy rather than their judgment were soon put out of business by order of Colonel Hayward after several of the men had fallen out on the field. In their place a post exchange was opened. There, the men could get wholesome dainties at stated times, that were more conducive to good health than the indiscriminate eating which was the case when the other places were opened. I saw an amusing sight one day: A young soldier, probably not more than nineteen or twenty, with a vanilla and a strawberry ice cream cone in one hand, two boxes of Zuu-Zu under one arm, and a box of Uneda biscuits under the other and a slice of cake in the disengaged hand. The look that possessed his face was that he would just love to have some of all of this at once. He found a shady place by the side of the road and sat down to enjoy this feast unmoiled. I went over and talked with him and found that he was away from home for the first time in his life, and he was missing some of the little dainties that he was used to having prepared for him by his mother from whom he was never been separated before. He was not disspirited, however, but said that he found himself a little home-sick occasionally, as was true with many others. The association, in its work, received the heartiest co-operation from the officers in command who were loud in their praise of the splendid achievement of Camp Whitman, its commander. Camp Whitman, was exceedingly kind and courteous to the association officials and did all he could to aid in seeing that we were properly and comfortably located. During camp, many of the soldiers were visited by their wives and sweethearts, and, in connection with the training of prisoners to witness better conduct on the part of the soldiers toward women than was exhibited by the Fifteenth. I am sure that with the splendid feeling of co-operation on the part of the officers in command and the increased ambition of the officers, the officers and men, who, by the way, are assiduously studying to make themselves proficient in their different positions, that the Fifteenth will become one of the hammer regiments in the country. Camp Whitman is well adapted for which it is used.

Col. Ballou Predicts Negroes Will Make Good Officers (Special to The New York Age) Ft. Des Moines, Ia.—This is the first opportunity given in the history of the American Negro to prove on an adequate scale his fitness or unfitness for command and leadership, and the Negro will show to the world that he possesses elements of leadership is the opinion expressed by Col. C. C. Ballou, commanding officer of the Negro Training Camp at Fort Des Moines. In praising the general fitness of the Negro soldier Colonel Ballou discusses the subject as follows: "At Fort Des Moines, Iowa, on June 15, 1917, these assembled the largest body of educated Negroes through both the Army for a single purpose. They came there to strive to qualify for the higher responsibilities involved in the defense of our country, and to thus demonstrate the fitness of their race for citizenship in the fullest sense of the term. Two hundred were non-commissioned officers, sergeants, the pick of the old non-coms of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. The remainder was made up of men from almost every military and merchant teacher, clergymen, merchants, teachers, clergymen, all were represented. The remainder began to experience the confidence, elation and just pride, incident to having survived through fitness. Their commander had, in the beginning, instructed that no personal sympathy or consideration would deter him from ruthlessly, mercilessly, eliminating from this camp any man that he found falling short of established standards of honesty, morality and military efficiency, and he had kept his work.

The end to be attained, and the progress to almost every military and merchant teacher, clergymen, merchant teachers, clergymen, all were represented. "When they were sworn into the service of the United States, they were briefly reminded that a special responsibility devolved upon them, entirely above and beyond that involved in securing to the country a few hundred lieutenants and captains, and developing the skills they prove necessary for the availability of H. 00000 of captured people for full participation in the great and responsible work of war. The success of failure of this camp would be accepted by the world at large as conclusive evidence in respect to that question. "The old non-coms of the regulars were also reminded of their special responsibility in helping the work along with the officers of the highest standards of soldiery department, discipline and honor, and by working zealously in session and out of session in imparting the thousand details of a soldier's life and duties that can only be learned by experience, to the candidates from civil life. These old soldiers were distributed equally among the fourteen companies composing the training regiment. "Men Aro Loyal. "Practically every man, soldier and civilian responded to this presentation of their duty with all the strength there was in them. Fortunately their commander was personally known to many of the old soldiers and they gave him a complete confidence that was apparently specially shared by the army officer detailed as instructors were no less loyal and devoted to the idea of success. "in the week preceding the opening of the camp, all plans were perfected, barracks made ready, cooks, waiters, janitors and other employees secured, programs of instruction made out, supplies and text books obtained and, in brief, the machine was oiled up and ready to start when the range rang, did so start, and was underfulfilled, has run on scheduled time, with serious hitch or friction ever since.

The remainder begin to experience the confidence, elation, and just pride, incident to having survived through fitness, beginning, assured them that they might expect that no personal sympathy or consideration would deter him from ruthlessly, mercilessly, eliminating from this camp any reason that he found falling short of established standards of honesty, morality and military efficiency, assuming that no one who remained will reason to feel a sense of fitness. "The result ofominations has been evident in the better quality of the work done." A detailed account of this work would be inoperative and tedious. The experience of progressward that end is the main theme. This desired end is, in brief, the development of committed officers who shall possess the required knowledge, character and ability to thresh raw material into soldiers; to teach them the details of military duties; to intellect and faithfulness; to use and all other necessary supplies; to look after the health and general welfare of their team; and maintain discipline with a firm but just hand; and locally conform with the standards of formality with the guidance. "Each of the forgoing requirements is an art in itself—the art of the teacher, that of the administrator, and also that of the tactician and natural leader of men. Few men possess all of these activities in marked degree, and many possess them in no other way can they be developed in them. Of latter class must be eliminated. Intensive Training. "It should be needless to say that no one can more than get a good start in three months, yet it is to be observed that these three months are spent in intensive training, and that the candidate gets in more actual work in that time than a national guardman puts in in as many years and more than the average regular puts in in one year. Moreover, the candidates who survive a fire are more diligence and ability. They will leave the progressive men—men who at least have a clear idea of the scope of their tasks, and who will develop much more rapidly than the average man under their command.

LUKE HOLDS 50TH ANNIVERSARY (Special to True New York App) RICHMOND, Va.—Nearly two thousand delegates and visitors were present from twenty four states at the golden jubilee session of the Grand Council, Independent Order of St. Luke, held at the Fifth St. Baptist Church last week Dr. Douglas S. Freeman, editor of the News Leader, delivered the address of welcome. Responses were made by Miss Mary Mason, District of Columbia; the Rev. R. P. Johnson, West Virginia; Mrs. J. B.

Walker, at the beginning of her official duties, was turned over $31.61, and that at present the finances of the order have grown to $121,864.51 with thousand of dollars paid out for sick dues, death claims and legitimate investments. Houston Race Riot the R of Series of Mob Exec Says White Southern When we start disorder we gather confusion, and the clash between members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry and white people in Houston, Tex., last week, as well as other recent racial outbreaks, are the fruits of a long series of mob executions which we gather through the orderly process of human nature, is the opinion expressed by J. M. Miles, editor of the World-News, an influential daily of Roanoke, Va. Editor Miles is a southern man, and in his editorial on "Houston Race Troubles," he scores the white South for its unfairness to the Negro. The editorial follows: "The large majority of people who read of the race troubles in Houston, Texas, will accept them purely on their face value, and consequently their consideration will be superficial. The underlying truth will never occur to them, and following the old and ever easy subject as an isolated affair, they will be the one of understanding the gravest problem that our country faces. "Not long ago there was a riot in East St. Louis, and a little later there was a lynching affair in Virginia, and now there is the riot in Houston. When the clashes that are occurring all the time When the East St. Louis horror was told about, Southern newspapers insisted that it was a clear-cut demonstration of the fact that the Negro was safer and generally much better off than the white crowd. "On top of the Houston riot there comes a statement from Congressman Joe Eagle, of the Houston district, urging that Negro troops be removed immediately from the South and placed in camps. If Mr. Eagle is right South Carolina newspapers are wrong; if the newspapers are right, Mr. Eagle is wrong. "The truth of the matter is the solution of the race question has been left to the selfish trickery of politicians and to the judgment of the mob. The mob is superior to law and order, and therefore when the opportunity comes to him to choose between the two for the enforcement of what he may regard as justice, he naturally remembers who he the lessons that he has learned from the mob executions has sown its seed, and now we begin to reap the harvest. "The Houston trouble is one of the truths that we gather through the orderly process of human nature. We do not start disorder, and other conflicts." "Those persons who imagine that violence can cure, this disease are sadly in error. There is but one cure, an everlasting adherence to justice and an everlasting support of law and order. We cannot build up bitterness and hatred, we cannot build up villainous people, and expect to move along in peace and good humor. "If the race question is to be solved through any channel but that of carnage and death and misery, earnest, hopeful people emust work and pray for and insist upon the development of kindlier relations, and they must with patient and long continued emphasis point to the need for common welfare, and, as it would appear now for the rescue of the nation from appalling disasters." Gov. Tom C. Rye Praises Negro Soldiers. Despite the rabid utterances of the Vardaman-Tillman element of southern whites, who oppose the presence of armed Negroes in the South for obvious reasons, there are many influential white men throughout Dixie who believe in Negroes being identified with military forces, looking over the highest terms of the Negro soldier. At the recent session of the Negro Business League in Chattanooga, Tenn., Mayor Jayse M. Littleton, in addressing the delegates stated that if not for his advanced years, nothing would please him better than lead a regiment of colored soldiers to France. Tom G. Cox, commenting on the reference made to Company G of the Tennessee National Guard, said: "Now you have heard reference made to Company G, a company of Negro groups organized in the State of Tennessee, and I wish to say they deserve the special mention and compliment which has been paid to that company. They have made a record of which any military unit might well be proud. Recommendation of this commonwealth which are on the State Department, and I noticed that the State of Tennessee had been required to pay over to the War Department at Washington the total sum of $32,000 as reimbursement for property lost by our National Guard, and he it said to the honor and credit of Company G, the only Negro company in Tennessee or in the entire South, Tennessee has never lost a dollar through Company G. "They are going to help win this fight, and further I want to say here one thing that I have had an opportunity to say before. When war between this country and the Central powers in Europe was first declared, when, in spite of our prayers and wonderful forfeiture of our Nation's Chief Magistrate, we were unable to handle and that thousands and hundreds of thousands of loyal Americans would have to be called to defend our flag, there came to me as Governor of Tennessee a special delegation representing this splendid military unit known as Company G and many other individual Negro volunteers, stating that their services were at the command of our Nation's Chief Executive and that they were only too glad to offer their services and, if need be, their lives in behalf of their country and in defense of Old Glory." Although not generally known, Company G has been mustered in the United States Army with the other units of the National Guard of Tennessee. This organization organized forty years ago and was originally known as the Langston Rifles. No Trouble in the North. The refusal of many white persons in the South to recognize the Negro as a man whether in the garb of a soldier or anything else is said to be the real cause of frequent clashes between colored troopers and white non-armed officers at Fort Houston last week the police and white ruffians had subjected members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry to numerous assaults, and the only reason that a riot did not occur sooner was due to the display of control on the part of the colored soldiers. The compliments colored soldiers receive from local authorities when stationed in the South to criticize directed against them by those in the South. The fine record made by the Fifteenth Regiment while at Camp Whitman and Peekskill is one of the many instances which may be cited to disprove the charges usually made against them in the Southland. The date of June 2, Leverett F. Crumb President of the Village of Peekskill, N. Y., said: Permit me as President of the Village of Peekslash, through you to commend the men of the Fifteenth Infantry while in camp near Peekslash and particularly while off-road, by organizing regiments of soldiers camped upon our borders, and have them about our streets, and I think it is but fair to say that the deportment of the colored men under your command is a recommendation. During their seventen days stay here there was not a single complaint made to our police, even to the extent of rowdyism, which in so large a number of men was exceptional record. The soldier who is highly appreciated by our community, and we have no doubt that if they should be mustered into the United States service they will be heard from as a gallant regiment. Several companies of the Fifteenth are now stationed at the Government cantonments at Yaphank, and Wruthstown, N. J., respectively. The colored soldiers will all be stationed on soldiers and white private citizens are getting along admirably together. At Camp Dix, the Government cantonment at Wrightstown, N. J., a battalion of the Fifteenth is stationed. White and colored soldiers train together and the genial manner in which the presence of Col. Hayward's "Billy Boys" was accepted by the white people is reflected in the following, published in the current issue of The Camp Dix News. Some time during last week a battalion of the Fifteenth New York (colored) Infantry arrived at Camp Dix from their previous training quarters of Camp Whitman, New York State. "This battalion, commanded by Major Dayton, is composed mainly of cliff-dwellers of Manhattan, the army being located at 6th avenue and 12th street. New York City, but within a few hours these city lads had another kibbutz where they only weeks ago cows were pastured. "Major Dayton is to be highly commended upon the appearance of his troops. He is to be especially commended for the rigid manner, in which they obeyed guard instructions. Orders to the civilian in camp awoke to learn Saturdays distinction was drawn between members of the firm, managers and the common laborers in the camp. Nevertheless, the men of the battalion were so good-natured in the performance of duty, and the broad grids and smiles of the men turned what is often an unpleasant situation into one of considerable merriment, but nobody managed to pass the guard 'until identification was shown, or proper authority obtained. "Watch your step; at night is a good motto for the civilian members of the these make-up eloony-faced soldiers, mainly in low visibility. Incidentally, the Germans will have a hard time seeing them during a night attack." Owing to Monday, Sept. 3 being a noliday, all news matter must be in this office not later than Tuesday morning. DR. MASON ARRAIGNS THE SYSTEM IN ZION The Rev. James Edward Mason, first financial secretary of Livingston College, has published a remarkable arrangement of the system of administration that now exists in the A. M. E. Zion church. This arrangement was contained in his annual address delivered before the Progressive Ministerial Union at Mother Zion Church this city last April, which included a plenary fellow form, under the title of "The Times We Live In: Sounding the Alarm." Below we give in a condensed form the substance of the criticisms that he makes. Under the heading of "Administrative Chaos," Dr. Mason says: We have come upon strange times, social, educational, religious and industrial challenges, changing attitude of individuals and nationalities, as never before. Autocracy is arrayed against Democracy, High Ecclesiasticism is trying to throttle the democratic spirit of the Man of Gallia. There are Kaisers in the Church well as in the State. Men who present upon their superiority and that they are providentially intended bosses, although they do not serve. What about the future of the Church if the affirmations of these representatives be correct? "I think I love Zion as much as any of you. I am not attacking the church proper. I fight with principles, not with men, in the great issue before us. I am contending against the modus operandi of some would-be leaders, who have a knowledge. I am trying to save the church from a system, of which the present leaders are not wholly the creators but the heritage." Specific Instances of Maladministration. In setting forth specific instances of maladministration, the writer continues, "If a Bishop has a right to fix a siding elder's salary, independent of the presiding elder and his conferred what does the law mean," if a Bishop has a right has a Bishop to make a gate a plain duty of presiding elder and conference? A Bishop has no more authority to fix the presiding elder's salary than he has to fix the pastor's salaries. How can thoughtful, intelligent ministers and laymen respect the holy, holy, sacred office of the episcopacy if Bishops are careless, inexcusable violators of the fundamental laws? Describing a great convention where their names are recognized.-Dr. Mason marks a corset. "Leaving that convention, I turned my footsteps later to one of our own conferences with which I have been acquainted for years; whose scholarly president is the chieftest Apostle of Episcopal absolutism. Mark the contrast: in the former democratic conference, we were appealed to for what they desired; in the conference the presiding officer adjusts affairs on the basis of economy so that as Bishop, upon his own volition, he is self-constituted statistical secretary, treasurer, and sub-treasurer, of ten or more distinct funds and departments; college members, lay and ministerial, college members, but disapprovingly, polite on the outside and extremely indignant on the inside. "One prominent member said in my hearing: 'We know the Bishop is wrong but for peace's sake and to prevent increasing dissensions with our complete membership, let it go. You know he found to have his way. He is here to do the work' course, while the Conference members simply go through the motions of doing their duty. Look out for yourself.' "The highly educated chairman seemed to proceed upon the basis that a law and statute of the denomination was honored in having a sworn episcopate violate it. It was an astounding revelation to the Conference. What occasion has it happened? Certainly after six years it has not affected officiality to the top. To have a Bishop preside over this conference in the days of Bishops Clinton, Moore and Thompson, cost about $4.00 per day. Bishops Walters and Harris averaged less than $10.00 per day. For the past six sessions from so $19.00 per day including Sunday but so $19.00 per day to relate. The system makes it more difficult to carry hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars of the connectional money to his home or office many miles away. "Is the Bishop honded for the safety of church funds?" says some young, innocent clergyman. What do you mean asking such an impertinent question? Do you know as Bishop he possesses knowledge, sometimes cording to our present policy, and in money matters it is our duty to trust him where we cannot trace him? True, the loss of money is periodic under this system or policy, but we are becoming accustomed to such small matters, and I would say to you as the Master said a mispleasant seeking to penetrate unrevealed mysteries. "Let not your hear be troubled." "Reliable information recieves us from Virginia of a Bishop appeasing there and carrying around in his hand." --- ABOVE ALL!

As a matter of business, how whatever. It is simply peculiar method of doing business along the high financiers. Is there law in the church making it obligatory, upon Bishops to carry Conferences with them all over the country? The good Bishon was simply active has been his custom, and perhaps custom of others. If I remember correctly the last general Conference passed a resolution presented by the Educational Secretary, off. Martin, that all departmentalneys he sent from the Conference to proper secretary or treasurer. "Suppose," says another, "he had been robbed or lost, or reported as lost, thousands of dollars in his possession—what then?" Possibly the Financial Committee would have been called the expense of the Church, and after perplexing consideration, adopted the in of 'watchful waiting,' or agreed at the loss was uncollectible, as it is purely accidental. If the Bishop need to make good some of it, they probably would have presented him with the remainder, as instanced in the of the late 'Ex-financial Secretary,' you will perceive that we have a dissectly peculiar financial policy, but which individually admirably fits and gusts itself to our system of centralization, turning all the tributary streams to its own yard. This is operativeocracy. One class of church officials receive their salaries; others equally faithful in their departments, also decencies, hope against hope for fullments, waiting, waiting, and waiting to our shame and humiliation."

Accepting the news despatches from Houston, Texas, as giving a fairly correct, but by no means complete, story of the outbreak by members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, the necessity for a thorough and impartial investigation of the causes-leading to it is strikingly apparent. It must have required serious provocation to bring about such a breach of military discipline among men who hitherto have been classed as good soldiers. The responsibility for placing these soldiers in a position where provocation for such trouble was likely to arise should also be fixed in the proper quarters. Experience has shown time and again that quartering Negro troops in the South is equivalent to sending them into the enemy's country, with the difference that they are forbidden to exercise the right of self-protection. It is like exposing the guardians of a hostile town to the attacks of snipers, with orders not to return their fire. The provocation to reprisals is the more intense in that the hostility of the snipers is manifested not only by corporal assaults, but also by the more subtle and insidious wounding of the spirit that rankles inwardly. There is no use in seeking to disguise the fact that the United States uniform is not held in high favor in all parts of the South. Despite recent protestations of patriotism there remains a remnant of the spirit of Secession, carefully fostered, which cannot abide the flavor of Federal authority. When that authority is embodied in the black soldier, the combination brings to the surface all the venom and bitterness of the unreconstructed rebel and domineering slave driver of the past assiduously instilled into the present generation. With these conditions pre-existing, aggravated by police brutality, it is not so surprising that the situation culminated as it did. History has recorded similar happenings, in the case of both colored and white troops, quartered in other parts of the South. In most instances, the facts have been suppressed with as little publicity as possible. Of course, the military authorities will hold the formal court martial proceedings on the conduct of the soldiers and impose adequate penalties for the maintenance of discipline. But there should be a deeper investigation than to merely establish the facts of the shooting. There should be a thorough investigation of the conduct of the police and civil authorities, as well as the citizens of Houston, in the studied and continued insults and assaults committed against these men in uniform. There should be a fixing of responsibility for the continued subjection of these soldiers to such insults and assaults. Furthermore, the responsibility should be fixed for sending them South, without any precautions being taken against such an outbreak as occurred, in fact seemingly inviting it. If the National Government stations Negro troops in the South, it should throw the mantle of its protection around them. Any one who has read Gen. Butler's account of the occupation of New Orleans knows that the insulting of United States troops in the South is no new thing. But that doodyt general found an effective way to deal with the offenders. A similar spirit on the part of the authorities now sending these troops to that section would probably have averted the blood-shed and court martials now resulting. Let the responsibility be fixed upon those who brought about the conditions. RUMBLINGS IN ZION. For some considerable time there have been murmurs of dissatisfaction with the administration of the internal affairs of the great and venerable religious denomination founded by Varick over a century ago. Some of these complaints have reached the public through the denominational organ, the Star of Zion, voiced by independent members of the connection. But the most serious indictment of the system that now prevails is to be found in the annual address made by the Rev. James Edward Mason, the president, before the Progressive Ministerial Union last April and now published in pamphlet form. Dr. Mason has been for many years the financial secretary of Livingston College at Salisbury, N. C., and his standing is such as to give weight to his utterances. The most serious charge that he makes is that against the bishops, of violating the church law and usurping the powers and functions of conferences and department representatives. Autocracy, absolutism, irregular methods in financial matters and abridgment of personal rights are counts in the indictment. Dr. Mason's remedy for the state of affairs he pictures is more manliness in the Christian ministry. He concludes: "We can never as a church assert our spiritual independence or possess an evangelical policy so long as certain officials handle the funds, and are judges and executors in all the departments." In other words a revolution is demanded in the affairs of the connection with the dismantling of the ecclesiastical machine now in power. As these are uneasy days for autocrats, both foreign and domestic, there is a possibility of ructions in Zion if the conditions are as bad as painted. The call for a real democracy seems to be spreading in the church as well as in the state. WORKHOUSE FOR "MASH- ERS." A city magistrate last week sentenced a so-called "masher" to serve thirty days in the workhouse, for pushing his unwelcome attention upon a woman on Broadway. There would appear to be nothing unusual about this Item, but for the fact that the offender in this case was a Negro and his intrusion into the favorite diversion of Broadway loungers nearly provoked a lynching, according to the sensational headlines of the daily papers, at the hands of some white sailors. The police interfered with that form of violence and he was rescued to receive the same justice meted out to white offenders of his ilk. Thirty days is none too severe a sentence for these insulters of unprotected women, and there are too many of them, not only on Broadway, but in other sections of the city, who deserve HOUSTON. There are, of course, two sides to the these sides we need not consider here, but than enough emphasis elsewhere. That is to the soldiers. The other side, that is the long line of cumulating provocations lead not receive so much attention. In fact, causes which led up to what finally had known to the world. And yet, it takes these men were goaded to do what they. The first question that an impartial is it that these colored regiments with five other soldierly qualities are never bad. Does not this question force the answer not with the colored soldiers, but with the are always well behaved in every other only in Texas that they have any serious. The various provocations back behind their beginning several months ago. Ever the war, the South as a section through lives in Congress, has shown that it is open the Negro bear arms equally with other country. Ever since the first steps were law into effect, the South has been centration of colored troops in that section, congressmen and citizen delegations have Department to insist upon a policy that diers from the camps located in the South suited in forming a sentiment bitterly. Negro troops. This feeling of hostility, many degrees any other state, is the atmosphere in the Infantry found themselves when they are feeling of hostility did not remain a showed itself in an attitude of contempt tended to irritate and humiliate the black Can anyone then be absolutely surprise. Here was a body of men, the finest of sold their country's battles and are ready course, they did not expect the city of popular heroes; perhaps they did not even common courtesy, but they did have the subjected to contempt and insult from people ready to be called upon to give up. Certainly, these men did break their discipline, but we cannot overlook the fact black or white, is a human being before able that white soldiers, under equal pro just as these colored soldiers did, only so that the men of the 24th are blameless in mean that they are not to blame for the care responsible for the result. This opinion of the great, fair-minded newspapers of the place unqualified blame on the soldiers. Commercial Appeal" of Memphis does under the heading, "Police Intelligence listed in the heart of the South, goes, August 25: "The Houston riot is the result of hooze policeman recognizing the dignity of his own. According to the evidence of Major officer—and evidently a good one—a policeman and then slapped her. "A Negro soldier policeman said something men beat him up and fired on him. Then a racial blood got up, the Negro soldiers ran killing began. "The peace of the South, depends upon of the white people. "They have had the advantage of those ahead of the Negro. We have the advantage other advantages. "Therefore the duty rests upon the white there is peace and order in this entire country. "They should see to it that occasions for eliminated." Early reports of the trouble stated that was arrested and slapped was being escaped. That report has not been subsequently rea It is true, as "The Commercial Appeal well as meanness, on the part of the white to blame for what occurred. It is a matter no kind of soldiers, white or black, ordered over by local police in the vicinity. Whenever local police attempt to enforce There are, of course, two sides to the Houston affair. One of these sides we need not consider here, because it will receive more than enough emphasis elsewhere. That side is the fault attributable to the soldiers. The other side, that is the provocation or rather the long line of cumulating provocations leading up to the outbreak, will not receive so much attention. In fact, it is probable that all of the causes which led up to what finally happened will never be made known to the world. And yet, it takes no soothsayer to tell how these men were goaded to do what they did. The first question that an impartial mind should ask is, "Why is it that these colored regiments with fine records for discipline and other soldierly qualities are never bad until they get into Texas?" Does not this question force the answer that the main trouble is not with the colored soldiers, but with Texas? These Negro troops are always well behaved in every other part of the country. It is only in Texas that they have any serious trouble. The various provocations back behind the Houston affair had their beginning several months ago. Ever since this country entered the war, the South as a section through its press and its representatives in Congress, has shown that it is opposed, first of all, to having the Negro bear arms equally with other citizens in defense of the country. Ever since the first steps were taken to put the conscription law into effect, the South has been protesting against the concentration of colored troops in that section. Southern senators and congressmen and citizen delegations have appeared before the War Department to insist upon a policy that would exclude colored soldiers from the camps located in the South. These efforts have resulted in forming a sentiment bitterly hostile to the presence of Negro troops. This feeling of hostility, many degrees stronger in Texas than in any other state, is the atmosphere in which the men of the 24th Infantry found themselves when they reached Houston. But this feeling of hostility did not remain a mere passive sentiment, it showed itself in an attitude of contempt and hatred and in acts intended to irritate and humiliate the black men wearing the uniform. Can anyone then be absolutely surprised that there was trouble? Here was a body of men, the finest of soldiers, men who have fought their country's battles and are ready to fight them again. Of course, they did not expect the city of Houston to hail them as popular heroes; perhaps they did not even expect to be treated with common courtesy, but they did have the right to expect not to be subjected to contempt and insult from people in whose defense they stand ready to be called upon to give up their lives. Certainly, these men did break their military oaths and military discipline, but we cannot overlook the fact that a man, whether he be black or white, is a human being before he is a soldier. It is probable that white soldiers, under equal provocation, would have acted just as these colored soldiers did, only sooner. This does not mean that the men of the 24th are blameless in what resulted, but it does mean that they are not to blame for the conditions and incidents that are responsible for the result. This opinion is voiced in the editorials of the great, fair-minded newspapers of the country. None of them place unqualified blame on the soldiers. Even such a paper as "The Commercial Appeal" of Memphis does not do so. In an editorial under the heading, "Police Intelligence Needed," this paper, published in the heart of the South, goes on to say in its issue of August 25: "The Houston riot is the result of booze, stupidity and the lack of a policeman recognizing the dignity of his own work. "According to the evidence of Major Snow, United States army officer—and evidently a good one—a policeman arrested a Negro woman and then slapped her. "A Negro soldier policeman said something about it, and two policemen beat him up and fired on him. Then a general fight ensued. Then racial blood got up, the Negro soldiers ran amuck, and the business of killing began. "The peace of the South, depends upon the conduct and intelligence of the white people. "They have had the advantage of thousands of years of civilization ahead of the Negro. We have the advantage of education, and we have other advantages. "Therefore the duty rests upon the white people to see to it that there is peace and order in this entire country. "They should see to it that occasions for rioting are more and more eliminated." Early reports of the trouble stated that this colored woman who was arrested and slapped was being escorted by a colored soldier. That report has not been subsequently repeated. It is true, as "The Commercial Appeal" says, that stupidity, as well as meanness, on the part of the whites of Houston, is largely to blame for what occurred. It is a matter of common experience that no kind of soldiers, white or black, orderly or disorderly, care to be dominated over by local police in the vicinity of an established camp. Whenever local police attempt to enforce their authority under such The makeup of the board presided over Division No.140 is hundred streets should be made safe for women and children at all times. EXEMPTION BOARD NO. 140 Graft charges have been preferred against more Exemption Board members in New York. The desperate chances some men will take prompted by their greed for money is, strikingly shown in these disgraceful cases of extortion. There are two Negroes serving on local boards; Charles W. Anderson and Relph, E. Langston, whose past records for honesty are a sufficient guarantee that they will conclude then labors with clear hands and undemished reputations. unique in that its chairman, Mr. Langston, is a colored man. His colleagues are Dr. Frank Boyd and Dr. E. T. Hull, white men. In this district 85 per cent. of the men drafted for the army are Negroes. Chairman Langston and his associates work in complete harmony, fully realizing that their first duty is to the United States. Messrs. Boyd and Hull enjoy the reputation of being absolutely fair and square to all consepted men, be they white or colored, and Mr. Langston has transcended far above racial lines in the performance of his duty, treating all with the same degree of consideration. Truly this is a board made up of citizens who are one hundred per cent. Americans. conditions, there is always friction; what else then could be looked for with cracker policemen not only exercising their authority but showing their hatred, on the one side, and Negro soldiers on the other? Common sense should have dictated that the policing of all the soldiers at the Houston camp be left to the provost guards. Had this been done, there would have been no trouble. But after all, what happened at Houston is only an incident, merely a symptom. It is the symptom of a disease that has been allowed to develop and spread until now it can be rooted out by only the most heroic methods. This deep-eating sore has been anointed with moral olive oil and plastered over with legal vaseline and sprinkled with philanthropic talcum powder. None of these temporizing remedies will do; the sore must be cut out. Houston is going to occasion a call for another application of legal vaseline. The entire South is demanding that no Negro soldiers be allowed to train in that section, out of deference to Southern prejudice. If the War Department accedes to this demand, it will be only plastering on a little more vaseline, while the sore eats deeper. What the Government ought to do is to give the people of every state to understand that these men are training to fight and die, if necessary, in defense of the whole nation, and that it will train these men wherever it deems best. It should let it be known that these men will be held strictly accountable for their conduct as soldiers, and should insist that all citizens accord to them the common respect and courtesy that is their due, at least at the present time. If this stand is taken firmly, there will be no trouble about Negro soldiers being trained in any section of the country. There will be a lot of talk about this being a delicate problem. It is neither delicate nor a problem. It is only a question of common justice. And where common justice runs counter to unreasoning prejudice, it is prejudice that should be made to give way. Can any one suppose that the 24th Infantry, with its untarnished record of fifty years for discipline and fine soldierly qualities, would have had any trouble at Houston, if they had been treated with ordinary decency? Up to this time the action taken in this matter by the War Department has been above criticism. The men accused of rioting and shooting were not left to the mercies of a Texas court or, what probably would have been a Texas mob, but were taken away where their case will receive an investigation and a fair trial. So far, Secretary Baker has refused to commit himself to any policy limiting the Government in training soldiers wherever it may deem best. We hope the War Department will hold this position. Any shifting from it will only strengthen the tendency of this country to be governed by prejudice rather than by justice and law. THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY TO THE POPE. Those who are demanding that this Government make a concrete statement of what it is fighting for and the terms upon which it will be willing to make peace will not gain much information from the note in which the President rejects the Pope's peace plan. The note states that the object of the war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace and power of the vast German military establishment, and goes on to say that this power is not the German people, but the ruthless master of the German people; and that to deal with such a power by way of peace upon the plan proposed by His Holiness would only involve a recuperation of its strength and a renewal of its policy. Although a close perusal of the document does not reveal any direct statement of concrete terms upon which this Government would be willing to make peace, the last paragraph, which is quoted below, indicates what these terms are: We cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a guarantee of anything that is to endure, unless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of the German people themselves as the other peoples of the world would be justified in accepting. Without such guarantees treaties of settlement, agreements for disarmament, covenants to set up arbitration in the place of force, territorial adjustments, reconstitutions of small nations, if made with the German Government, no man, no nation could now depend on. We must await some new evidence of the purposes of the great peoples of the Central Powers. God grant it may be given soon and in a way to restore the confidence of all peoples everywhere in the faith of nations and the possibility of a covenanted peace. These words indicate that no peace is possible so long as the present rulers of Germany are in power. Therefore, the inference is that the United States will fight until it is in a position to dictate the abdication of the Kaiser and his Government, and make peace with the German people. The latter part of the paragraph, beginning with the words, "We must await some new evidence of the purpose of the great peoples of the Central Powers," indicate one other avenue to peace, and that is a revolution in Germany which will overthrow the present regime. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK Age: There are so many false and disparaging "convictions" in the public mind concerning the colored American, that every time we get a chance to nail up one of the big lies where its nature can be well exposed, we ought to do it. That colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Mones, la., is going to disprove a good many "foregone conclusions" about our Negro men. Of all these possible exposures, I regard the following as one of the most important and one that should be advertised by every Negro paper in the Union "perfectly well known" that the Negro is peculiarly infected and infested by venereal diseases, and that the social evil has spread disease in all of his classes; not that the race suffers from these diseases just as other races do, but that it is "peculiarly" and exceptionally infested Now, listen at the facts: when 1,250 Negro men were examined by white army surgeons at Fort Des Moines, only six men out of that whole number were found so infected. When the other men at the other camps were examined, eight times that proportion were found so infected! That's worth telling, because of the well-understood lie to the contrary. WM. PICKENS, Morgan College, Baltimore, Md. AGE TOUCHES RIGHT, SPOT. EVERY NEGRO IN AMERICA SHOULD READ IT. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGEN- I only wish THE ACK was in the home of every Negro in America. It would give them more vim. Summerville, S. C. CHAS W. BROWN. THE NEGROES IN THE WAR The latest adherent to the cause of the Allies is the Negro Republic of Liberia on the Coast of Africa. When the troops of the little republic get to France, they will see black soldiers in the ranks of the French Army, and the brown East Indian in the British. It would be sad if they were disappointed in the representation of colored men in the American Army. The fighting qualities of the American Negro have been proven gloriously from Fort Wagner to Carrival. Slackers would not abound among them. Even in Washington's army there were 3,000 Negroes. There were 200,000 Negro soldiers in the Civil War. It is noticeable that among the few States which have been getting notoriety this past week for draft resisters is Georgia, notorious also for its lynching of Negroes and its venomous hostility to Catholics and Jews. It is easier for a mob of lynchers three or four thousand strong to be brave in pursuit of one unfortunate and unidentified, Negro, than so, stand on the firing line before the enemies of their country. THE PROVOCATIVE ATTITUDE From the Buffalo (N. V.) Express There are, of course, two sides to the story of the outbreak at Houston and apparently no one would go far wrong who denounced both sides with all possible vigor. Since the Negroes must bear the chief burden of the public condemnation, for no excuse can be sufficient to justify soldiers in riotously using their arms against civilians, civil officers and fellow soldiers, a word or two on their side may the fair to start with. This 24th infantry is one of the oldest Negro regiments in the army. It was organized soon after the closed the Civil War and it has a splendid record of service in the Indian war and the Philippines. Some years ago a portion of it was stationed here at Fort Porter. No more orderly soldiers ever were quartered there. Since war was declared against Germany, many of the regiments of the regular army have been split, up, the well trained men forming the skeletons of new regiments which are filled by recruits. We do not know whether this was done with the 24th infantry, but such an infusion of new and ill disciplined men might explainzin part the Houston outbreak In general, however, the attitude of the Southern white man is intently provocative toward the Negro soldier. For that matter, a considerable element among the people of Texas showed a mean and patriotic spirit even toward the white soldiers who went down there to protect them last summer—at least, when they were not officers. A good many hard stories were sent home by the boys regarding extortion, social snobbery and other evidences of an extremely self-centered and narrow minded disposition. The Negro soldier, however, has always been a special object of antipathy to the more ignorant of the Southern whites. The Negro soldier feels himself a man and expects to be treated like a man. He knows that he is doing a patriotic service and that Negro troops have fine service and he very reasonably feels that whites should show decent recognition of the Southern white man as a demands of the Negro the attitude of a servant. Negroes who accept this position and keep sober and orderly are commonly treated in a more friendly and familiar manner by the Southern than the Northerner. The mere fact that a Negra wears a uniform, carries a gun and stands fearlessly erect with shoulders back and eyes to the frost gives him to the prejudiced white man the air of an unstart. Some such development of this antipathy of the white man and resentment of the Negro is undoubtedly seen in the Houston outbreak. Until the Spanish War Negro regulares never had been sent into the South. Although they were then on their way to the front in Cuba, the attitude of the Southern whites was generally unfriendly, and organizations which had served for years in the West without ever being involved in trouble had many difficulties. President Roosevelt attempted the policy of refusing to recognize the Southern antipathy to Negro soldiers. The Brownsville incident resulted, and Roosevelt made it worse by prejudging the soldiers and putting them uneasily against a certainty that they were guilty President Wilson has similarly attempted to ignore the Southern prejudices though he appears to harbor a good deal of it himself so far as Negro in general are concerned. His experiment has brought on the Houston outrage. Before the war is over we shall be praising Negro troops as hearty we did after the Spanish war. More while, cannot patriotism afford a common ground on which white and black citizens of a common country can stand? VARDAMAN, THE PERFECT GERMAN ASS. (Des Mothers Daily News) There are all kinds of fools, knaves and cranks in this country who are constantly echoing the yammer they heard from pro-German sources, but for pure 24-karat foolishness and mindless James K. Vardaman, Senior from Mississippi, has few equals. He has issued an authorized interview for southern consumption in which once more he assails his own country. He calls our entry into the war in office. An the same great state—with 99 per cent, native born population—sadly misrepresented by James K. Vardaman. Fortunately Mississippi is shortly decide whether Vardaman shall continue in the national capital or remain at home. He brayed his way into the Senate some six years ago as a rebellion "nigger"-hater. It is to be hoped that he will bray his way out at a dye-in-the-wool friend of Germany. THE WHITE LAMBS PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Little Lincoln Simpson, a Negro boy, who is attending the daily vacation Bible School listened attentively Monday afternoon to Mrs. Lonax, his teacher, who was describing the "Good Shepherd" by describing the white lambs of his flock at the end of the Bible period Lincoln did appear. The next day Lincoln showed up just in time for scripture lessons; his face was powdered white and his black eyes peered into the teachers face, "Say teacher," he said courteously, "Is I a white lamb enough now for the Good Shepherd?" The other children looked seriously at Lincoln, too much taken back to see the humor of the situation. Mrs. Lonax explained to the little fellow that when powder had no hearing at all upon the fitness of a candidate for Heaven, that the "Good Shepherd" never made any preference as to race or color. BLACK AFRICA. from the Christian Heritage Nearly one-fourth of the earth's land surface is comprised within the continent of Africa, and it is as far around the coast of Africa as it is around the world. Every eighth person of the world's population lives on the Dry Continent. The blacks double the number every forty years, and whites every eighty years. There are 843 languages and dialects spoken among the blacks of Africa, but only a few of them written. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Syracuse, N. Y.—The following account of some incidents of a soldier's life in the Philippines was given in a letter to a friend in this city, which your correspondent secured for public cation. On June 1, we left Camp Stotsenburg, our station in Northern Luzon, P. I., followed by one pack train of 61 mules, 13 men and three combat wagons drawn to four mules each, and a hospital detachment to our first day's ride of about 28 mules, we went into camp, at 2:15, at the foot of the mountains. Horses groomed, mules and wagons unpacked, we were now settled in for the day. Here every man was issued ammunition enough to fill his belt, and we were coming later. Our automatics were worn loaded, cocked and locked; and our rifles carried the same way. The Negritos in the hills were on the war path, and as all work for then has long since ceased, they may steal to live. They have the native Filipino buffalo-faced animal, and they are constantly being killed, and their stock carried off beyond the hills where a Filipino dare not go. After scouting around these foot hills for two days with our two interpreters for the trails of the Negritos, which were most indistinct, and ran in every visible direction, we found the pass. On the fourth day out at 6 A. M., we left camp, leaving enough men with our reserve supplies and horses to do double guard duty, while we struggled with the whirl of the mountains. We were on food as one misguided step of a horse would mean instant death many hundred feet below. The only trace we saw of the "war path tribe" was a few lookout posts, where the trail could be seen. Two of these posts were to the north, the natives had gone! I suppose to carry the news of the on-coming Americans. All we could do was to burn or destroy these posts and continue our drive. On reaching a deep canyon, at about 3 D. M., we found a small stream. My first drink of real water. Hee we went into camp under a banyan tree, which measured some forty or fifty feet around its trunk. It afforded shelter enough for our pack train, troop horses and men with still room unrest. We wandered, wild chickens, hogs and deer were our calling guests for the evening. Burning the Barrios or Villages. On breaking camp next morning we knew that our advance must be slow. The trail was a dangerous one, and each day's rain was making it more so. On this day we hit our first village of the mountain tribe. From the village we saw these little people moving around their shacks, but by the time the first trooper reached their street, the barrio had been cleared, and not a native was in sight. All we could do was to burn the barrio and keep our eyes open in search of the next. This we did for several days, destroying each day from one trip to the next. This trip was never a time when we got within snretch of one of these folks. After we had crossed the divide and were gradually descending toward the China Sea, we were met by the 41st Cof. of Filipino Scouts. They had been sent from Manila by water, around the coast to Da, to do the same work in the hills that we were doing. They had penetrated some fifty of more miles into the hills when we met them. Two of their men had been that night, and their duty at night. Their food simply, it seemed to me, was more than light, as each man was his own pack horse, carrying everything he used. Some Progressive Filipinos. It was decided that we would follow the Scouts back to the coast. On meeting the coast we traveled through a wonderful valley, where thousands of Australian cattle were grazing under guard. Further on numerous acres of two paddies were under cultivation. The more resilient than those of the province in which we were stationed. We were now in our third province, having left Pampanga and Tarlac and had come to Zambales. The people here are Zambalos. Twenty-two and one-half per cent of the 104,549 people of the province can read and write Eng. and Math. The capital, a seaport town of three thousand or more inhabitants, we completely forgot our mission. The President came to our camp and made us welcome to the town. There were some four hundred young men and women attending the teachers' summer school, which is open during the month of June for all provincial teachers. That hunch was made little Ha spin for the short time we were there. On the evening of our arrival the female teachers played a game of indoor basketball for us, and the following evening the boys played us a game. We are sorry we had to be there him, but we are glad the boys were here. The core being 140. In this town there are 3,000 Americans, five white men connected with the Normal, High or Trade Schools, and a Mr. Williams, a colored man who is a wealthy farmer. He has a coconut grove of several thousand many rice paddies, and many made piles of Filipino children. The greater part of our time in the mornings while the town was either at HOW HE QUIT TOBACCO The veteran, S. B. Lamphiere, was addicted to use of tobacco, for many years. He wanted to quit but needed nothing to help him. 八 He learned of a free book that tells about bake, habit, and how to conquer it in a timely and safely. In a recent book, I wrote that I have no new mum desiring a copy of this book to teach habit, smoking and chewing, habit, smoking and chewing, habit, smoking and chewing, Lewis, 167 F, Station E, New York City. You will be surprised and look for quieter homes with improved eyes, increased vision, longer life and other advantages if you quit poisoning work or at school we spent bathing in the China Sea. There was a marriage on our second night followed by a dance in our own style. Ia has become quite popular and he can hear is "I am going to spend July in Ia." Three days before Ia reached Ia four natives were brought in to be shipped to Leper's Island if, on examination, they were found to have leprosy. The only thing that I could observe at long range from the beach where they were confined was that their extremely red Vienna Otholal. Compliments Vienna Otholal. So much and so many things happened here that we almost forgot the 23.511 Negritos in the hills we had just left, and which lay in front of us on our homeward march. "Troop H," the president said, "is so different from the other American soldiers who have been in the army. I already wired the headquarters at Manila to see if I could get the Troop a stay of thirty days with us." However on Sunday, June 17, at 6 A. M. we were in our saddles. Several hundreds of our new friends gathered round us as we pulled out in route order, whistling, singing and waving. We were sorry that our stay was so short. Having made about seven miles we had to cross a bamboo pontoon bridge about half a mile long. On crossing this, one mule which was carrying a pack of "shelter halfs" and mosquito nets, went overboard in about thirty feet of water. The pack had to be cut loose in order to save the mule. Thus we were made many shelter and detection from the mosquitoes during the remainder of the trip, and mule No. 28 minus a load. Our feed for the animals had run out to almost nothing, so we stopped many times during each day, and let our mounts rest and chew a little gorgon grass, which on these islands grows almost everywhere. Before we reached one duck, which killed two deer and one duck, which gave us meat for two meals that we did not have to get out of a can. Charged by Mad Monkova. Camps were pitched wherever things looked good. There was little to destroy in the line of native shacks, but in three different canyons we were charged by a band of mad monkeys. To shoot one was enough to call all monkeydoms to war, and we soon learned that the monkeys were so aggressive that easily we could make our escape. The wild hogs were plentiful, and from the way they cut banana trees, which were as large as a man's body, to get the fruit, it is evident that they were vicious. There were many blind pits along this trail made by the Negev for hog and deer catching. They caught some of our horses and mules too, but not having been made for such large animals it was easy for them to get going again. Private E. II. Collier, on going around the Roots of large tree, had a narrow escape. His horse slipped and fell, twenty or more feet, being caught in the management of huge vines and wild banana trees. Collier got a sprained finger. Before we got through the hills the rainy season set in. Clouds extended from one hill top to another. If we were in the valley we could travel in the steady rain, but when the trail went up we, were in an almost helpless contempt. We were in the valley, this way we left two packed mules behind, not missing them until we went into camp. About 9 P.M. they pulled in, all wet but not a bit hungry. We were the hungry ones, because one of the mules carried, our cooking range. On reaching our reserve camp we had two sick horses, both of which died in post, and three sick men, two of whom are now in the hospital. Saturday, June 30, we broke camp for the last time, whistling and singing on our way. Two dead horses sold to the Filipinos for food, we all paid money, and were happy and at 2:30 P.M we were home again and ready for show. We were in the valley, this way we found a wonderful place and what one sees and does each day would surprise those who have written books on the Island and its people. WASHINGTON. D. C.

NORMAN.) >The annual New York tennis tournament is over, and once more Gothamites were compelled to see the most beautiful trophies ever given for tennis competition won by Washington players. The visitors deserved it, as not only were they brilliant in their play, but they produced a brand of tennis that New York could not equal. Tally Holmes, of Washington, stands out in a class by himself at the net game. He seemed unconquerable, with a variety of strokes and a mastery of execution that simply baffled all opposition. His judgment and placing of balls was of the highest order, and no one could fairly begrudge him his honors. He is a master of the chop stroke, using it on almost every play, putting every ounce of strength in that powerful forearm as he swings his racket. At the net he is unbeatable and seldom fails with his overhead strokes. He was the winner of three trophies—men's singles cup, men's doubles bowl and mixed doubles cup. His partner, John Cromwell, in the men's double, although not as brilliant a player as Holmes, is a factor to be reckoned with at all times. His support of his partner is superb, as a team they play unbeatable tennis. The other prize winner was Miss Lucy Slowe, the "Female Tally," as she has been called, who is also in a class by herself among the lady playa. She has developed a forehand drive which is masculine in its speed and force. Playing through with an affected right hand, which was kept in handages, whenever she did not use her racquet, she simply brushed aside all opposition, and won the ladies trophy; and teamed with Holmes, the ladies' prize in the mixed doubles. But New York has no cause to be discouraged over the outcome. Two years ago the visitors played the finals among themselves, and Gotham looked on. Last year, New York had two finalists—men's doubles, Dr. W. Walker and Dr. Costa and the ladies' single, Mrs. Dora Norman. This year there were three events in which the local players appeared—men's singles, E. K. Jones, megs doubles, W. Ramser, and T. Stephens, and ladies' singles, Mrs. Burnett. Although in each case the home players were forced to bow in defeat they put up a plucky up-hill fight, and showed the visitors that their path to victory was to be no pleasant journey. The chances for a New York victory, seem brighter every year, and if the younger players are ambitious and practise, with a purpose in view—that of being better than the year previous—there is no doubt that the Washington players and other visitors will be slightly disappointed in their quest for the handsome trophies offered. The semi-finals in men's singles were especially interesting—Holmes and Wilkinson played in the lower bracket, and Wilkinson (Washington), did what no one else could do, win one set from Holmes. In the upper bracket, the Rev. Mr. Walker and E. K. Jones played and the games were tight and close. Jones finally won out 6-4, 6-2. Miss Slowe faced Mrs. Burnett in the first of the final match on Saturday, and had little difficulty in winning in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. Mrs. Burnett played well but Miss Slowe was just so much better and gave her opponent no chance. The next was the men's doubles—Holmes and Cromwell won by the score 6-2, 7-5, 6-3. Stephens played a hard game Ramsey in particular, who scored many points by his wonderful drives through both Cromwell and Holmes. But, as usual, class told, and after putting up a hard fight they succumbed as the score above shows. Holmes next took the court for mem- singles with E. K. Jones as opponent. New York sat back with great expecta- tancy, and remembering 'Jone's match with Walker, looked for close playing with a possible victory. No one reckoned on the "superman" Tally Holmes. He played as he never played before. His judgment of strokes seemed uncanny, his driving was irresistible, his placing seemed perfection itself, and Jones never had a chance. He played hard, brought many of the games to duce, only to have Holmes rise to the occasion, and make the deciding points. Score, 6-0, 6-0, 6-2. Holmes again. He paired with Miss Slowe against J. W. Wilkerson and Miss Robinson, both of Washington. Once more the first pair triumphed in straight sets, not allowing their opponents any chance. They just would not be denied and-playing together as a team, swept the opposition away. That closed the day's program and over five hundred spectators gathered on the courts to hear the Rev. Dr. Martin make his usual delightful little speeches, full of wilt and humor in presenting the trophies he respective winners. He also paid respects to the referee of the tournament. D. I. Hoage, who, although assigned a difficult task, acquitted himself in a most creditable manner. He had some delicate problems to solve and difficult situations to confront, but managed to settle all disputes; and bring the greatest tennis tournament New York, ever, had to a successful close. The visitors were entertained at dinner at the Libya in the evening by over thirty players representing nine clubs, members of the New York Tennis Association. Following were the visitors present: Messrs. Holmes, Wilkerson, Douglas, Memard, Barker, Hardgrove, and Cromwell, Washington; Mr. Hillen, Baltimore. Members of the Committee: R. Hunt, chairman; G. F. Norman, secretary; T. Rainford, treasurer. er; Dr. D. I. Hoag, referee; H. W. Heron, alternate referee; Dr. E. E. Rawlins, custodian of prizes; J. S. Watson and Leon Scott.

LINCOLN The big game on Sunday next at Olympic Field, 136th street and Fifth avenue, will bring together those two bitter rivals the Royal Giants and Lincoln Giants, who will engage in a double-header, the opening game commencing at 1:30 p. m. sharp.

IN "THE MAN FROM MEXICO" Another big comedy with music will be produced at the Lafayette Theatre next week when "The Man From Mexico" will be the attraction. "The Man From Mexico" was used several seasons as a starring vehicle by Willie Collier, and was last season rewritten into a musical comedy in which Eddie Foy was the stellar attraction The comedy situations in "The Man From Mexico" are brought about in a strictly legitimate manner which makes the play consistent as well as humorous. The play deals with the adventures of a man who has been arrested on a trivial charge and sentenced to a thirty day term in prison. He secures permission to return to his home for an hour or so before entering upon the term, accompanied by Cook, the sheriff of the court. He introduces Cook to his household, and takes wife thinking he is a new chef her husband has employed gives him instructions as to the dinner, etc. Meanwhile the husband concludes to his wife that he is called away very suddenly upon present business which will require his presence in Mexico for at least a month. He then enters upon his term of imprisonment, but through influence of a political nature he is granted certain privileges in the jail. His wife and daughter visit the prison as representatives of a charitable organization but he succeeds in keeping out of their sight. Upon release from prison he returns home be decked like a full-blooded greaser, and his wife has arranged a party in honor of his homecoming, has the house decorated in Mexican style and late and the guests assume the Mexican garments and have also been, improving their spare moments during his absence by studying Spanish, and the attempts to converse with each other in the foreign tongue form still another vein of humor. In conclusion he is forced to admit that he has been sent to prison, but declares that he went there to shield another person, and the wife then confesses that on the night previous to his departure she was present at a certain hotel when the police raided the place, but that she had succeeded in making her escape thus avoiding arrest. Seeing his opportunity he tells the wife that it was to shield her that he pleaded guilty to the crime charged and served the term in the workhouse, which the poor confiding soul believes and sues for forgiveness, which is fully and freely given. The Lafayette Stock Company has the distinction of being the first Company to secure the rights of productions for "The Man From Mexico" with music since it was released for stock purposes.

For three weeks there has been no regular meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary Fifteenth Regiment, due to the fact that many of its members have been out of town. During this period, however, all matters requiring immediate attention have been carefully attended to in headquarters, 2217 Seventh Avenue, New York, by some of the officers of the Auxiliary and members of its Social Welfare Division Visiting Committee. The president and financial secretary have devoted their vacation to the work for the regiment. Many letters have been received from the Fifteenth Regiment for investigation of dependents of its soldiers. No day has been too hot, nor storm too severe to brave. In town and out of town, the cases to be visited by this committee have been given attention and these women have been uniniring in their efforts. Sometimes they meet with difficulties but with patience these are overcome. It is the right of every woman of the Auxiliary who has thus volunteered her service to reflect with pride on a well sent summer. The Auxiliary has been brought into a closer relationship with the home life of the soldiers and it is this home service on the part of the Auxiliary that has given cheer and relief to so many dependents of the regiment. Twenty-two additional comfort bags or kits have been filled and sent to Company B, stationed at Poughkeepsie and twelve other ones to the Gun_Machine Co. Ellis Island.— The cases for which the Auxiliary has assumed the responsibility of meeting the rent obligations have been promptly attended to as well as attending to all distressing cases of dispossess, Mrs. Montgomery Jones, has ably met the cases of dispossess.

During his discourse he compared the hearts of some people to the sea whose depth is never disturbed.
