C.—An important conference on Negro education was held here August 30 and 31, which was attended by prominent colored and white educators of both sections. The meetings were presided over by Dr. James H. Dillard. A two hours' conference between Secretary of War Baker and a delegation of educators relative to quartering Negro military units in the South was held August 31. Educators of both races protested to Secretary Baker against the segregation of colored troops or subjecting them to distinctly different treatment in training camps. One of the strongest talks in favor of quartering Negro units in the South and against the agitation raised by radical southerners to the presence of colored soldiers in southern camps, was made by Dr. T. H. Harris, superintendent of Education of Louisiana. Just what conclusions were reached on the subject was not made public, but it is said that Secretary Baker assured the educators that he would not introduce in the United States Army the "Jim-Crow" methods desired and advocated by the Vardamans and Till-mas. He said the Negroes seeking college training should not be compelled to leave the South and attend Yale, Oberlin, and other Northern universities. Dr. I. Garland Penn presented the problems which confront the Freedmen's Aid Society in its colleges, and spoke raised by radical southerners to the presence of colored soldiers in southern camps, was made by Dr. T.

H. Harris, superintendent of Education of Louisiana. this conference was called 'by Commissioner P. P. Claxton of the United States Bureau of Education to consider the recommendations made in the report on Negro education, recently issued by the Bureau of Education. The various meetings were deliberative and there were no formal addresses. The North, the South, the white and the colored educator were all well represented. The secretaries of the northern mission boards, the superintendents and supervisors of Negro schools from most of the southern states, and a number of Negro educators, were present. The educational boards of the C. M. E., A. M. E., and A. M. E. Z. churches were represented by their respective secretaries. Inadequate School Facilities At the morning meeting on August 31, Commissioner Claxton gave his reasons for calling such a conference at this time, and outlined the purposes of the meetings and the proposed plan of procedure. He then introduced Dr. J. H. Dillard, who presided at this meeting. Dr. Dillard made a short talk about the inadequate public school facilities for both white and colored children in the South, especially the colored children. "We need to spend, not two or three times what we are spending on public schools, but ten times as much" said Dr. Dillard. "I want to see good schools provided for these little American children." Dr. Anson Stokes Stokes explained the purpose of the Phelps-Stokes Fund in co-operating with the Bureau of Education so that a study of Negro education might be made. Dr. Stokes stated that in his opinion results would follow this report, similar in importance to those which followed Dr. Flexner's report on medical education, in closing his remarks, Dr. Stokes paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Dr. H. P. Erissell, late principal of Hampton Institute. Superintendent T. H. Harris of Louisiana, opened the discussion on elementary schools by describing the situation in Louisiana. He spoke of the great work being done by Leo Favrot of the State Department, and President Clark of Southern University in arousing sentiment among the white people favorable to Negro education. The discussion then became general and a number of white and colored educators took part in it. In the afternoon meeting the question of secondary education and teacher training was taken up. It seemed to be the consensus of opinion that while there can never be a sufficient number of properly trained teachers in the South until the States provide secondary and normal schools; at present the private schools must train the teachers as they have done in the past. But several speakers gave it as their opinion that the time has come when the private schools can leave to the public authorities the task of maintaining elementary schools. Dr. H Paul Douglass and Dr J泌ison S. Hill of Morristown College Tennessee, discussed the subject from the standpoint of the mission boards and the private schools. Dr. Billard made mention of the fact that North Carolina maintained three State Normal Schools for Negroes, in addition to the Agricultural and Technical College at Greensboro. He also spoke of the noteworthy action of the North Carolina State Teachers' Association in employing an experienced school man to co-operate with the State supervisor of Negro rural schools. Arthur D. Wright of Virginia, explained the Virginia system of giving teachers' certificates which has been very successful. A T B. Williams raised some interesting points, which were discussed. Davis outlined the work of the County Training Schools. Professional Education Discussed At the night meeting on August 30, the institution of college and professional education was discussed. Dean W. F. Tillett of Vanderbilt University opened the discussion. Dean Tillett praised Tillett for the work of the colleges in Nashville, Tenn., whose work he has observed for many years. He made a plea for a few well-endowed and splendidly equipped universities for Negroes. He said the Negroes seeking college training should not be compelled to leave the South and attend Yale, Oberlin, and other Northern universities. Dr. I. Garland Penn presented the problems which confront the Freedmen's Aid Society in its colleges, and spoke of the plan which had been decided on to solve these problems, Dr. Penn stated that the society had decided to maintain colleges at Baltimore, and Marshall, Tex., and a university at Atlanta. The work of the other schools maintained by the M. E. Church will conform to this general scheme. Other speakers at this session were President John Hope of Morehouse College, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the Bureau of Education, and Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University. The meeting devoted to the discussion of Agricultural and Industrial Education was held on the morning of August 31. A number of persons took part in the discussion. Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute made a very interesting talk on the work which has been accomplished by the industrial schools. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of the National Training School for Women and Girls made a strong plea or education which prepares for life. The last meeting of the conference was given to the question of co-operation of various agencies working for the cause of Negro education. This meeting was probably the most helpful one of all. Superintendents Sherrill of Tennessee and Swearingen of South Carolina made stirring speeches, as did Dr. Patten of the Episcopal Church. The conference passed a resolution requesting that Dr. Claxton appoint a committee of twenty-one persons so that some permanent organization for co-operation be effected.

New York and Alabama Soldiers Clash in Camp Sentries of the 165th Regiment of New York, on guard at Camp Mills, Mineola, L. L., shortly before mess hour last Sunday, were attacked by members of two companies of the 167 Regiment of Alabama, who had overpowered their own regimental guards and then tried to rush the New Yorkers and escape from the military reservation. The fight between the New Yorkers and Alabamians raged fast and furious for several minutes, and ended with the Southerners being forced back to the Alabama camp carrying bruised bodies and sore heads. Shortly after the arrival of the Southerners at camp several cases of measles developed among the companies, and all have since been under quarantine guards, while the entire regiment is under observation to prevent a spread of the disease. Their camp is about a half mile eastward of that of the 165th. Visitors had just been cleared from camp at 6 o'clock, and the men of the 165th were preparing for mess when sentries noticed uniformed figures dolling across company streets, while others tried to conceal themselves as they ran under trees or behind bushes. All commands to halt were ignored. TO INTRODUCE A BILL TO PREVENT LYNCHING TO INTRODUCE A BILL TO PREVENT LYNCHING (Special to THE NEW YORK ACL) WASHINGTON, D. C.—A bill to make lynching and prevention of race migration between states a Federal offense in the same class with counterfeiting will soon be introduced in Congress. The measure has been brought to Washington by Mayor Curley of Boston, and is said to have been drawn by William H. Lewis, former assistant United States Attorney General. The bill is as follows: An Act to Prevent Lynching or Involuntary Service in the United States or Any State or Territory thereof. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled If two or more persons in any State, district or Territory of the United States conspire to lynch, burn, murder or main any citizen of the United States or to deprive any citizen of the United States of his right to migrate from one State or Territory of the United States to another State or Territory of the United States, or to any foreign State or Territory, and the local authorities of any such State, Territory or district shall within three months from the date of such offense fall and neglect or refuse to bring to justice such persons so conspiring, such persons shall be deemed guilty of an offense against the United States, cognizable in the federal court having jurisdiction of such State, Territory or district, and each of such persons shall upon conviction of such offense shall upon conviction of such offense be punished by imprisonment for not more 20 years, or if loss of life results from such conspiracy shall be punished by imprisonment for life or by death, at the option of the jury. This act shall take effect upon its passage. The drafting of aliens for military action, which former Mayor John Fitzgerald has been agitating for months, placing zalani on an equal basis with American citizens for military duty is said to have found favor with the lawmakers. Alabama Clash in Camp In a moment the sentries were in a hand-to-hand combat with some forty men, of the guns of the guards was loaded, so reinforcements were called for. When they reached the battleground, where the sentries were struggling with the larger groups of the camp dodgers, a few of the attackers had got clear-of-the camp limits. They were pursued by members, of the military police and some of the reserve guards, a chase that took several of them almost to the village of Mincola before the last of the runaways was captured and returned to the military reservation. When the rush began, the Alabama infantrymen had scattered over a wide space, and at intervals in the guard lines the sentries and their attackers struggled and fought individually and by two and three. Blows were exchanged that started bleeding noses, and then some of the Irish sentries not their lighting blood up and they began to prod and jab and hit with musket butts, until their opponents ceased their personal attacks. Finally all the runaways were herded into small groups and then merged into larger ones. Finally they were sent back to quarters more rapidly than they left them. NEGRO REGIMENTS WILL BE SENT TO SOUTHLAND (Special to The New York Age) Washington, D. C., Sept. 4—There will be one Negro regiment at every National Army cantonment where there is sufficient personnel. Adjutant-Gen. McCain announced to-day. This ends speculation as to whether Negro troops will be trained with white men. The South has led in the agitation against the Government sending Negro troops to the cantonments in Dixie. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGK) WASHINGTON, D.C.-Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, had a twenty minute' conference with President Wilson on Friday of last week, in which the Negro question was discussed. Dr. Moton is said to have told the President that colored Americans were greatly discouraged over the unfriendly attitude of the present administration. The President is said to have expressed a desire that more cordial relations be established between the races. It is not known what assurances Mr. Wilson gave that he would soon speak, out against lynching and other injustices to which the Negro is subjected. NO COLOR LINE IN THE PARADE OF DRAFTED MEN One of the features of the parade Tuesday morning in which 7,000 patriots of the draft army who live in Greater New York marched down Fifth avenue arm in arm, the absence of class or color distinction. The rich and poor, colored and white, marched side by side as brothers-as true Americans. In the ranks of these loyal men the true spirit of democracy reigned. There were nearly two thousand Negroes in the parade which was led by Mayor Mitchel. In the reviewing stand were many well known men, including Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Charles E. Huesque, Major Gen Bell, Rear Admiral Usher, Eiluhu Root and Provost Marshal General Crowder, Charles W. Anderson and the Rev. R. M. Bolden.

BEAUTIFUL FLORAL TRIBUTES Prominent Citizens of Both Rows Present at Interment at Westfield Monday--Business to be Continued Under the Management of the Philip A. Payton, Jr., Company. The funeral of Philip A. Payton, the well-known real estate broker, who died August 29, at his summer home in Allenhurst, N. J., was held Sunday at 12:30 o'clock from St. Mark's M. E. Church in Fifty-third street, Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor officiating. The church was thronged with friends and acquaintances, to pay their last respects to the man who made it possible for colored people to rent modern flats in the Harlem section. The active pallbearers, representing the United Civic League of which he was a member, were William H. Willis, John Earle, J. W. Rose, E. A. Johnson, Charles H. Payne and Louis A. Leavelle. The honorary pallbearers were Charles W. Anderson, Fred R. Moore, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute; Charles E. Toney, E. C. Brown, Herman H. Perry, Atlanta. Ga.; Charles H. Anderson, Jacksonville. Fla.; John M. Royall, George T. Ritchings. A. C. Howard. F. Q. Morton, Sol Freidus, George W. Harris, E. A. Warren, Frank H. Gilbert, Watt Terry, Brockton, Mass.

The choir of St. Mark" M. E Church rendered appropriate music. Was Forty-one Years Old In speaking of the life and achievement of the deceased, Dr. Brooks said, in part: "Philip A Payton was born in Westfield, Mass., forty-one years ago, of good New England blood. He received the best mental training of his town and then entered Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C., where he took high rank as a student. In 1900 he commenced a business career in this city, being a pioneer in real estate, without experience and without funds, as I heard him relate that often he would walk home from downtown because he did not have the fare and refused to borrow it. He passed away August 29, controlling over a quarter of a million. The story of these seventeen years if put in book form would be as thrilling as 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' 'Up from Slave', or Paul Lawrence Dunbar's 'Lyrics of Lowly Life.' "The outstanding trait of his life was an indomitable will and an unconquerable purpose. He saw his ideal as the seaman sees the North Star and steared for it, he knew what he wanted to do and sought to accomplish it. The seaman may change his course and tack this way and that because of head-winds but he does not abandon the objective. An army may change its method of attack but does not surrender the conquest. "This man like, the ships, was sometimes high up on the crest of the waves and then seemingly engulfed; there were headwinds and choppy seas and it was necessary to tack but when the tempest fulled he was seen to ride the waves and driving with the propelling power of a mighty will towards the object of pursuit. He would not be defeated. He would not be mastered by circumstances. In his pathway there were no Alps. If he could not scale or circumvent them he bore through." He might have said with Paul, "This one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind and reaching forth into those things which are before, I press toward the mark." "The purpose this man had in mind was to prove the black man's ability, and capacity to conduct large business enterprises. Above his own financial interest was a passion to succeed that his race may get the credit and the stimulus which he knew would accrue if he succeeded and to save from discouragement and dishonor would follow if he failed. This is why he referred to himself as a missionary and the success of others who followed in his wake filled him with delight for he realized that he was helping others. A smaller man might have been envious, he was big enough to he glad. Excluded Sentiment in Business. "In business relation with him business was business. He excluded sentiment and like the merchant of Venice he demanded his pound of flesh. Here he seemed cold, hard, exacting. But there was another side as gentle and as tender as a maiden.

Anderson Writes Word of Sympathy Among the many letters and telegrams of condolence received by Mrs. Susie Payton Worthham, anent the death of her brother, Philip A. Payton, was the following communication from the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, which follows: August 30, 1917. Mrs. Susie Payton-Worthham, Box 464, Allenhurst, X. J. My dear Mrs. Worthham; I know only too well how vain is all human sympathy and how impotent is all human help in a time of great sorrow like yours, yet it is a natural instinct of the human heart to desire to assure our friends that our hearts go out to them in times of sadness and bereavement. For this reason, I am sending you these few hailing words to tell you how I, as a friend, suffer with you over the loss of your loving and devoted brother and my sneeze and constant friend, and how very much I pray that you may be given to strength and the fortitude to patiently endure and submit to this heavy, but divine ordinance. In after years it will be a great consolation to remember that your brother's useful life will ever be an inspiration to all forward-looking men of the race. It will be especially so to me, for I always feel anew the capacity to rise, when another rises, and I know of but few men of our race whose lives have given me such a fresh intuit of hope and confidence, as the life of Philip A. Payton. Curiously enough, it was only yesterday morning that Mrs. Anderson and I decided to pay him a visit on next Sunday, little dreaming that he was so seriously ill, yet before the close of that day, we received the sad news that he had vanished from the earth forever.

NEW JERSEY CHURCH NEARLY 65 YEARS OLD (Special to The New York Age) ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N J—That the Negroes of the United States, if they only would, could form numerous historical societies throughout the country, thereby giving added inspiration to the younger members of the race, was recently evidenced when Mrs. Adnie E. Stillwell Wales, of Navesink, N. J., read the history of Paul Quinn A. M. E. Chapel, now located at Hillside. The church was founded at Riceville, now Navesink, nearly sixty-five years ago. Mrs Wales, who completed the historical information and read it to the members of the congregation, can boast of belonging to one of the oldest families in this section. Four generations of Stillwells have bred in Navesink and four generations of her husband's family, the Wales, have done likewise. The story of the founding of Paul Quinn A M E. Chapel follows: Julia Stillwell and her children experienced religion in the white Methodist Episcopal Church at Riceville. Feeling that they should belong 'to a church of their own color, they walked to Brown's Dock from where they rowed to Fair Hayen at which place they attended divine services in the A. M. E. Zion Church. This was in the winter of 1850. It was so cold for the women talk and children that the members decided to hold prayer meetings at the home in Riceville. The meeting met with such great success that it was decided to continue holding them and the Rev. Moses M Hall was called to the pastorate. In the spring a meeting was called for the purpose of raising money with which to purchase land and to build an edifice. Among those who attended the meeting were Eljah Stillwell, leader; Thomas Stillwell, chanter; John Stillwell, Eljah Stillwell, Isaac Wales, Henry Karpy, Daniel Lewis James Brown, Mysia Yero Eljah Stillwell was elected secretary Subscription books, which read his follows, were got into shape and distributed among those present. To a Generous Public. We, the underskined ministers and trustees of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Rieville, with a special eye to the glory of God and the extension of His kingdom in the hearts of the children of men, in order thereunto we desire to build a church at Rieville where the pure word of God may be preached, and the Sacrament duty administered to the people, we therefore appeal from the beginning and therefore solicit your aid for the above object. Trustees and Members, the Rev. Moses M. Hall, pastor; the Rev. J. R. Morgan, presiding elder; Elijah Stillwell, secretary. A sufficient amount of money was raised to buy the ground and a small amount toward the erection of a house or worship. The ground was purchased from Mr. Taylor and it is now in the Tilleson estate. A church was erected on the site and the faithful few soon paid for it. The church was built in 1855, and on November 26 the corner stone was laid and the edifice was named "Paul, Quinn Church of Riceville" The Rev. Eli Hall was the first pastor. Following are the names of the pastors of the church from 1855 to the present: The Revs. Eli Hall, J. Shreves, E. Jones, J. Roberson, E. Laws, Jordan E. Davis, G Mills, S. Williams, W. N. Bowman, C Fisher, R Coleman, F Cox, L Sturgis, W. H. Graham, — Geiser, E. Hawkins, C. Beger, W. A. Winder, H. Davis, A. Garson, J. Diggs, C. C. Green, A Lane, A H. Brown, W. Thompson, W. Thompson, W. Johnson, J. W Cooper, I. W. Ross, J. Collier and W. 4icks, I. the present pastor. Founders of the church are Elijah Stillwell, Thomas Stillwell, Elias Stillwell, Isaac Wales, Henry Karney, Moses Yero, Daniel Lewis and James Brown.

TULANE WIRES THE AGE HE WAS MISQUOTED HE WAS MISQUOTED The following telegram communication was received Wednesday from Victor M. Tulane, charging that he had been misquoted in the white press with a view to arousing ill feeling against the presence of colored troops, in the South: To the Editor of The New York Art Please allow me to make the following statement through the columns of your paper. Erroneous press despatches dated August 29 have been sent out from Montgomery, Ala., quoting me as having told colored Ohio soldiers in address at the camp here that the colored citizens of Montgomery would resent any attempt on their part to disregard certain rules of the South. These despatches are absolutely untrue and are simply part of a scheme to arouse feeling against the presence of colored troops in the South. Such a threat on my part would have been foolish and unnecessary. The reporter, has done me a grave injustice by misquoting me to split his purpose. Reports, in some despatches about colored Ohio soldiers attempting to visit white picture theatres and white Y. M. C. A. here are also untrue, as Captain Calwell, colored commander of troops here, will testify. People of Montgomery, both white and colored, are co-operating in every way for the comfort and welfare of all soldiers encamped here. (Signed) VICTOR M. TULANE Mr. Tulane is an influential colored business man of Montgomery and treasurer of Tuskegee Institute.

TRAINING CAMP FOR OFFICERS IN PORTO RICO (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) SAN IAN, P.R.-Training camp for officers began on Aug. 27 at Cayey. Forty-four non-commissioned officers arrived from Panama on Aug. 22. They are real enthusiastic at the prospect of becoming officers. Besides the soldier candidates, there are some two hundred second lieutenants recently commissioned from civil life also at the camp. Lieutenant-Colonel Townshend, besides being commanding officer of the post of San Juan, also has charge of the training camp, and all applications were either rejected or accepted by him. The treasurer of Porto Rico, Mr. Bennett, has a son in the United States who was accepted. He has been unable to arrive in Porto Rico as yet, but his place will be held for him. A notable case is that of a colored man who duly made application for training and had not even been notified whether or not he was accepted. The applicant made inquiry at the proper office, but as the examining officer was out of town, nothing could be said. It is probably the fault of Col. Townsens, as it is believed that the Colonel is a fair-minded man and can be relied upon to act fairly. However, the applicant feels that he has been ignored. SAYS SOUTH MUST GIVE BETTER TREATMENT (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) WESTROAD, Mass.-Frederick W. Mansfield, candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, was the principal speaker at the annual field day of the Westboro Board of Trade, held at Lake Chaucey, last week, on which occasion a plea for better treatment of Negroes was made. Mr. Mansfield, after stating that "low wages, high rents and brutal treatment by the land owners of the South are the real reasons for the general exodus of the Negroes to the North," emphasized the necessity of carrying through to a successful conclusion the war in which this country is now engaged. He called attention to the increasing gravity of the Negro problem, and declared that unless the Negroes were given proper treatment in the South the question would assume serious proportions. TO RECRUIT REGIMENT OF NEGRO STEVEDORES (Special to TWN New York Acq.) Washington, D.C.—A regiment of Negro stevedores for foreign service has been authorized by the War Department to meet the demand for experienced men to handle war supplies for the American Expeditionary Force in France. Recruiting officers, especially those in 'Southern seaport cities, have been instructed to seek men for the regiment. An effort is being made to get exemption from draft for Negroes of draft age who would prefer hard work behind the lines to duty in the trenches. The army also wants Negro cooks and will give them good pay to even inexperienced men if they have capacity and are willing to learn. PHILADELPHIA AS A RACIAL MELTING POT PHILADELPHIA. Pa—The big parade Saturday of all the soldiers just prior to their departure South through out 40,000 men. It was a gathering of all colors, races and creeds. There were no class distinction shown in the conscripts' part of the parade. A few companies of colored men marched by themselves and received generous applause all along the line. For the most part, however, men of all conceivable national antecedents were mingled together—just as they happened to form line. It was a truly cosmopolitan turnout and stroke volumes of Philadelphia's efficiency as a "melting pot." ASSAULT AND INSULT BY ALABAMA SOLDIERS FLORENCE, S. C. A railroad train heavily loaded with white soldiers from Alabama passed through this city on last Thursday evening on its way North.

It is only when the Negro appears on the scene as a man who respects himself and demands respect that he becomes obnoxious and extremely objectionable to a certain class of southern whites who labor under the hallucination that, like the stars in the heavens, there is a fixed place for the colored man in America. This place is as a subservient, grinning, docile, half-witted person, who believes that all virtue lies beneath a white skin and a black skin is a badge of servility. The following paragraph, contained in a long dispatch to the New York Evening Sun from its correspondent at Spartanburg, is worth while reading to get the southern viewpoint: While Spartanburg has swarms of Negroes in its streets it must not be imagined that their presence proves objectionable to the visitors from the North. They are a rugged, picturesque lot, respectful in the extreme, and all keep the place they were taught to occupy from birth. To the Tillmans and Vardamans of the South a "good Negro" is one who goes about ragged, respectful in the extreme and who "keeps his place." This is the sort of a Negro, the radicals pat on the back and praise in the halls of Congress. This is the kind of Negro who is referred to by them as "a good citizen." Some day the South will learn that sitting up night and day, seeking to keep down a group of people, is extremely hurtful to everyone in the community; some day they will recall the utterance of that great leader, Booker T. Washington, who said that you cannot keep once in the gutter without staying there yourself. Until the majority of the white people, living in the South come out of the gutter, where they spend so much time trying to keep the Negro, we do not see much hope for that section. "FATHER OF HARLEM." The development of Harlem as the centre of the colored population of New York City was largely due to the initiative of the late Philip A. Payton, who passed away last week. "This explains the reason why Mr. Payton was regarded as 'the father of Colored Harlem,' in which designation he took just pride. The secret of his success as a real estate operator was due to his ability to determine in advance the shifting of population incident to the growth of a great city and to make judicious investments based on his study of the situation. His success did not come at once, but was the slow result of years of persistent effort and application. He was the pioneer in opening a superior class of apartments to the members of his race, who were comprised in the movement of the city northward. His ability as a manager of properties also secured for him an extensive clientele of property owners in the section affected by his operations and he became an authority on the handling of property for colored tenants. Through this combination of circumstances Mr. Payton contributed in large measure to the betterment of the housing conditions afforded the race in this city. At the same time he established his reputation in the real estate field and reaped the reward his foresight and business acumen deserved. One of his greatest deals as an operator in this field was put through a few weeks before his death, involving values of a million and a half dollars. The colored colony in Harlem stands as a monument to the constructive efforts of Philip A. Payton. BOURBONISM AND PROGRESS. A distinguishing trait of the royal house of Bourbon of France, beside a rather prominent nasal organ, is described by some historians as an inability to learn anything or to forget anything. This inability to learn the lesson of progressive policies and to forget ancient royal prerogatives cost one of that line his head and another the crown. A letter recently published in the Columbia State, written by one Colonel Frost, described as a representative white man holding a State office, vividly recalls the Bourbon type. In commending an editorial relating to the Negro, this Southern Bourbon says: Having worked them all of my life in large numbers, my father being a large slave holder, I am in position to say that the Negro's sphere in life is what the Bible says it should be. "A hewer of wood and drawer of water," and when you take him out of that sphere and try to put him on the same plane with a Caucasian, you play the devil with a "wood servant." There is no circumstance, according to my way of thinking, that would warrant the editorial shuh that I have seen in various Northern and Southern newspapers boasting the Negro to a certain sphere of useninness along with the white people. It can not and will not prevail without serious disorders, riots, etc., which are to follow the mobilization of the National Army; if permitted to be mobilized in the same camp together—the Negroes with the whites. I make the prediction that if this is allowed it will be necessary to recall Pershing from France to quell our own disorders and riots. I have taken the position ever since the selective draft act was passed on May 18, 1917, that the Negroes between the ages of 21 and 31 should be organized, mustered into service and officered by white officers, the same as the white men of that age, but that they should be put out on the farm, and required to make food for the whites that are in the trembles, or well be in the trembles, as the Negro was never born for a soldier, never made for a soldier and God Almighty in His infinite wisdom has stamped upon his brow his only sphere in life, which is labor. It would probably be impossible to convince Southerners of this type of the harm they are doing their section. They do not realize any of the great changes that have been wrought in this country in the last half century. To them Jefferson Davis and Lee are living heroes and slavery a live issue. They learn nothing and they forget nothing. Forunately, there are but few even in their own communities but who can see the fallacy of their delusions. Their power for evil is limited to those equally as blind as their leaders. With broader opportunities for education and enlightenment, the Bourbon type should be put out of VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR A CHANGING WORLD. Writers are constantly trying to point out the great changes that the war will bring to the world. Nearly all of these changes are summed up in the thought of a greater and truer democracy. What the writers are saying, however, for the most part sounds like mere prophecy, because although the changes are actually taking place, they are doing it on so large a scale that we cannot realize what is going on. Many minds get only a confused or vague idea because they attempt to take in the vast panorama of world events as a whole. They look upon the war and all that is happening in one glance, and try to detect the direction that world affairs are taking. Such a method makes it difficult to tell whether things are moving forward or backward. It is possible, however, to detach certain events and certain trends of thought and gain some idea of where we are at and whither we are going. Let us first consider the change that is taking place on the question of war itself. Never before has human thought advanced so far on the question of war as war. There have always been differences of opinion as to whether certain wars were justifiable or wise or well conducted, but war itself has, by the majority of people in the world, been conceded to be a necessary evil. To-day, a proportion of the people of the world, so large that it must be heard, is seriously questioning whether any war is justifiable. It is entirely within probability that after the present conflict is over, no government will be able to declare war without having first submitted the question to the people. Only last week, Senator Gore introduced a joint resolution in which it is proposed to amend the Constitution so that Congress shall have sole power to declare war only in case of actual invasion or when the danger is so imminent as not to admit of delay. The proposed amendment further provides: In no other case shall Congress have the power to declare war or to declare the existence of a state of war until this question has been submitted to a vote of the qualified electors in the several states. This amendment may not be adopted, but to have it proposed shows that a radical change in thought regarding war is taking place. By close observation, the signs of another change may be discerned. As far as recorded history goes back, the matter of making and settling wars has always been one that concerned only the heads of governments and diplomats. The heads of governments made wars and the diplomats settled them. The people had nothing to do with either. To-day, all of the countries engaged in the war are concerned about various proposed conferences of the representatives of labor. The vote of the British Labor Party to send delegates to the conference at Stockholm, almost caused a national crisis. Those who have watched and studied the development of the influence of labor upon this war must be impressed with the probability that when the settlement comes it will not be made entirely by diplomats seated at a long table. There is little doubt that labor is going to have a place at the table and a voice in the proceedings. And such a thing would not have been dreamed of a hundred years ago. Both these changes are very radical and point to a wider democracy. But there are signs of another change going on that is not only radical but revolutionary. And it is a change not merely in ideals or tendency of thought, but a change in hard, practical, concrete facts. It is a change which would not have been dreamed of ten years ago, nor five, nor even at the beginning of the war. From time immemorial, if anything at all has been accepted without question as one of the conditions of war, it has been that any man who was smart enough had the right to get rich out of it. To-day, a bitter fight is being waged in Congress over this ancient and heretofore honorable prerogative. This fight is being fed by Senator Johnson of California, and to give an idea of the ground over which it is being fought, I cannot do better than quote some portions of the Senator's speech, delivered on August 20. In speaking on the War Revenue bill and making the plea that the cost of the war be laid on those who are profiting from it, Senator Johnson went on to say: With a boundless enthusiasm, Senafors, we conscripted in a very brief period, the youth of this land. With an enthusiasm that would brook no delay on the part of any Senator on this floor, or of any man in all this nation, we took our youth and sent that youth forth to fight for this nation, and to die, if necessary, upon a foreign soil. I ask that you have the same enthusiasm for conscripting the wealth of the nation to-day to stand behind the lads that have gone forth to light our battle over the seas. That sounds like about as strong an indictment as could be made against the old method of financing wars by levying a general business entirely. That they have been able to maintain a certain sway thus long is a reproach and a disgrace to the section where they flourish. Between the mobocrats and the Bourbons, the South, is certainly hampered in its progress toward civilization. Charles C. Burk, a white real estate man, to the New York Herald, in which he says: It seems to me all honest men with self-respect should approve of women suffrage, but every real American should have very strong sentiment against picketing the White House and heckling the President and employing other militant Colonel Frost's prediction as to the necessity of recalling General Hershing from France to quell disorders at home, makes one suspect him of pro-German tendencies. The Secret Service officials would do well to keep tab on his activities and in case of further, seditious utterances it might be a wise precaution to, intern him with, the other German sympathizers at thickamaugh. As a contrast to such belated pro slavery utterances as those of this resurrected Bourbon, it is refreshing to read a letter written by Charles C. Burk, a white real estate man, to the New York Herald in which he says: It seems to me all honest men with self-respect should approve of women suffrage, but every real American should have very strong sentiment against picketing the White House and heckling the President and employing other militant methods in the so-called interest of suffrage. These women are enemies to the United States and are a curse to suffrage. Of course women must have the ballot because they deserve it; besides, I would much rather trust the government with women than I would with some of the present day policemen. If I held a public office I would strenuously fight for three things: Woman's suffrage, letter carriers' pensions and the square deal to the American Negro. As the class of Americans represented by Mr. Jurk largely outnumber the fossils of the Rebellion, of which Colonel Frost is a survivor, there is hope for the future of the Nition. tax on the present and future generations, but the following paragraph is still stronger: Those who coin the blood of war are the ones best able to pay the expense of war. Those who make swollen war profits out of this particular exigency are those who ought to pay for the cost of this war. It is indeed to me quite a trivial thing, to take from the swollen fortunes that have come from war in the last couple of years the little moiety that this bill, by the majority report, takes. Senator Johnson made the contention that the War Revenue bill under discussion took about 20 per cent. of war profits from the big concerns and left them 80 per cent. He held that the figures ought to be reversed; that the Government ought to take 80 per cent; and leave 20. In speaking of the Steel Corporation, he said: How the people laugh to scorn a Congress that deals thus tenderly with war profits while dealing with such severity with the common human clay to be put up against the gun! To the Steel Corporation is returned under the bill nearly $300,000,000 war profits for the year; not of ordinary profits, mind you, but of war profits; computed under the terms of this bill; Congress hands to the Steel Corporation because, forsooth, it has coined the blood and the bone and the sinew of the land into the dollars, the monstrous sum of nearly $300,000,000. Can you justify it? Can you justify it particularly at this time, when you demand the maximum human sacrifice? The senators who defended the bill as it stood claimed that such drastic taxation as Senator Johnson proposed would be an assault upon business and would cripple the industries of the country just at the time when they need to be most efficient. To this the Senator replied rather sarcastically: What a terrible thing it is, what an assault upon business, what an endearment to prevent the usual and ordinary currents of trade from proceeding in the usual and the ordinary way that we give back to a man with an income of ten million dollars, five million dollars! Think how cramped he will be in his living in the next year if he has only five million dollars upon which he may for himself and his family obtain the necessaries of life. He further made it plain that he was not after normal business profits, but after excessive war profits. He also pointed out that England is already taking 80 per cent. of such profits. Senator Johnson may not succeed in having the Government take 80 per cent. of the war profits of the big concerns; present indications are that he will not; but it is certain that these big concerns will be made to give up more than 20 per cent. At any rate, he has absolutely destroyed the idea that any individual or company is entitled to every dollar made out of a war. Even such a capitalistic paper as the New York Sun editorially admits, "Beyond doubt there is a widespread popular feeling that all profits of corporations that have been enormously increased by the war should be drawn heavily to meet the expenses of that war. The justice of this contention is conceded by the persons financially interested themselves." Senator Johnson is no doubt right when he says, "How the people laugh to scorn a Congress that deals thus tenderly with war profits while dealing with such severity with the common human clay to be put up against the guns!" Nevertheless, it is something that the people would not have laughed at even five years ago, because it never would have occurred to them that there was anything absurd about it. And all of these things are proof positive that the world is changing, and changing fast. OUR NEGRO PROBLEM (By MOORFIELD STOREY) We used its deal first with "Negro aggression." During (our years of civil war) the wives and children of the southern soldiers were left in the care of the Negroes whom the South was fighting to keep slaves, and there was not a cause in which this trust was betrayed. The Negroes raised the food which fed the southern armies and supplied the labor which enabled them to keep the field. They treated their masters as friends and against their own interests supported them locally. When the war ended and these friends were left free indeed, but poor, ignorant and helpless, they could easily have been led the southern people rewarded their loyalty by trying to hold them up. Instead they tried to hold them down and to restore slavery in enact so far as was possible, drew Johnson undertook to reconstruct the South by giving the whites only the right to vote, and the laws which were passed by the white Legislatures prove the truth of the statement. The result way, to alienate the Negroes and to give bad southern whites the influence over them which good men declined to exert. "Negro aggression" Were the Kln-Klux Klan, the tissue paper hallots, the delving of Negroes from the polls, the massacre of Negroes at various places in the South, the practical suppression of the entire Negro vote by force and fraud—were these "Negro aggression"? What the Negroes have sought and are seeking before the law which the constitution of the United States assures them; they want as good schools as are given their white neighbors, they want the right to work, they want the protection of the law in court and out of it in a word, they want "justice". What have the many strong friends of the Negro in the South done to secure them any of those things? What states have they taken to punish any of the men who at Memphis, Wash. Abilene and elsewhere have exhibited a ferocious cruelty in burning and torturing human beings, for which even the acts of the Germans in France and Belgium have afforded, no parallel? When these friends of the Negro bring any lynchers to justice or show the head effort to do so, the North may hold its hands, but these gentlemen must remember that the barbarism of the mobs in Tennessee, South Carolina and Texas, and the absence of any attempt to bring the perpetrators to justice, stain the name of the United States and make every man who values its fair form hang his head in shame. The mob in Texas blots the reputation of every state in the Union, and every citizen is bound to do all that in him to redeem his country's name. The horrors of reconstruction were horrors for which the white were responsible, and they cannot plead them as an excuse for the horrors which they perpetrate today. 'A bad example is soon followed, and to our listing shame it must be confessed that Contestville in Pennsylvania, Springfield in Illinois and East St. Louis have been the scene of outrages as bad as any that have taken place in the South, and that the perpetrators have gone unpunished. We must bear our share of the disgrace, but the remedy is not for each section to shelter itself from condemnation by pointing out the crimes of the other. South and North must act together and resolve that mob rule and barbaric cruelty shall no longer disrace us all, and by such united action see if we cannot enable the United States to stand among the highest of civilized nations. The Negroes in the South have not "adjusted themselves" willingly to the position in which they are placed by their white neighbors. They choose to live as they may rather than die in an unequal contest for their rights. The North does not hate the Negroes * * * * there is here no "fatal madness," nor do northern men "run around shooting Negroes." On the whole their rights are respected, their duties are counted, they are educated in the public schools side by side with the whites, their lives and their property are safe. If it were not so, why should colored troops from the North be "overcome with feelings of outrage" when they see how their brithen are treated in the South The truth is that the East St. Louis riot was in its essence a labor riot against strikebreakers resulting in mob violence, as it has in so many cases where strikebreakers are white. The circular of the Central Trades and Labor Union in East St. Louis, dated May 23, 1917, and now before me, protests against the immigration of the southern Negro because "these men are being used to the detriment of our white citizens by some of the capitalists and a few of the real estate owners," but it expressly says: "This is not a protest against the Negro who has been long a resident of East St. Louis and is a law-abiding citizen." Undoubtedly the feeling was aggravated by race prejudice, and a great many Negro haters gratified their hatred by killing and burning; but this does not mean that there is any racial feeling in the North like that which has driven and is driving the Negroes who love the South to leave it. - Boston Herald. "CASES OF FACTS" To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Your fearless and righteous publication of facts in relation to questions, not alone of racial, but of national concern, deserves the heartiest, approval of the entire race, for without this we would be lost for real authentic report or effective support of our cause.

They are praying for the Government of the United States. They are not praying for mercy, but merely for plain justice and fair dealing. Once before, the colored people prayed for the Government of the United States. They prayed then only for plain justice and fair dealing under the public fundamental principles of the Government, itself. And God answered their prayers. The Nation suffered an awful and long war; but the prayers of the colored people were answered. Abraham Lincoln was Providentially chosen to lead the Nation in and through God's answer to those prayers. And as no other person ever, Abraham Lincoln penetrated the secret of the long and awful war. And here is what he said: "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war will speedily pass away. "Yet if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk; "And until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid with another drawn with the sword; "As was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." Keep on praying, brethren, God will answer again. And all the people of the United States can sincerely pray that the Government and the whole Nation shall so awake to justice and fair dealing that God can answer these prayers of the colored people without any such terrible ordeal to the Nation as that before. These prayers will be answered; if it can not be done in the better way, it will be done in a better way. And whenever, with any Nation God has had to go over the same road the same way the second time, that time has been the final. This second time of the praying of the colored people for the Government of the United States is of more solace importance to this Nation than any other thing that has ever been. Keep on praying brethren. God answers prayer. He answered yours, prayers before He will do it again. Keep on praying. The specific things for which the colored people are praying are the following: "1. For this Nation until rightness go forth as brightness and justice as a lamp that burneth. "2. For this government to protect the rights of all its citizens at home. "3. For the Chief Executive to use the big chance he has to make America a safe place in which all races my live and labor. "4. For a white Ministry that will Lift up thy voice like a trumpet and shew my people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins." "5. For a Press that will mold healthy public sentiment in favor of justice. "9. For every member of the race to give up to every requirement of as American citizen, and then ask no more nor take less than his constitutional rights." THE HOUSTON RIOT (N. Y. Globe.) So far as the immediate facts are concerned the Negro soldiers at Houston were doubtless in the wrong, and to vindicate the law and to prevent similar offenses in the future could punishment must be inflicted. But it is necessary to look behind the particular facts. Have these Negro soldiers and other like them been fairly created by the whites? Or have they been discriminated against, insulted by rowds, and subjected to irritation and humiliation? When a town has occurred between a white man and a black man whose story has been believed? Let every intelligent white man, south as well as north, consider these questions when inducing a race riot. The human nature beneath a black skin bears a strong resemblance to the human nature beneath a white skin. The dark-complexioned man is likely to react to substantial injustice just as does his paler brother. The breeders of disorder are those who still hold with Chief Justice Taney of antebellum days that a black man has no right that a white man is bound to respect. We have challenged the Dred Scott decision from our laws, but it persists, in extralegal life. No candid white man will deny this. No good has every come or will ever some from such discrimination. It will make us more trouble in the future than it has in the past. As the Negro gain in education he will be less disposed meanly to stand with hat in hand. He will fight back, to it is human to fight back when other resources fail SHOULD NOT BE AGGRAVATED (From the Buffalo Enquirer). It is an experience almost invariably incident to the assembling of large armies, that somewhere, at some time disorder will occur. This time it has happened at Houston, and the troops involved in the riot happen to belong to a Negro regiment which, by the way, is one of the oldest regiment in the army and has hitterto borne a high reputation. The Houston episode is displorable but its significance should not be aggerated. The grave breach of discipline in this instance, affected only a fraction of the regiment concerned and has not the slightest relation to general conditions. It is an unfortunate inexcusable, but none the less sporadic nature.

In fact, the outlook is no brighter than for several seasons past. Rumors a-plenty have been in circulation furnishing food, for gossip and prophetic contemplations of "what might happen," but nothing of a concrete nature so far has flashed across the theatrical horizon to cause one to believe that something out of the ordinary was soon to take place. The Smarter Set Company, of which the Whitney boys—S. Tutt and J. Homer—are producers and stars, will be the biggest colored attraction in the field in a new show. The book is said to contain many funny and original lines. The fact that C. Luckeyth Roberts has had much to do with the musical numbers ought to be sufficient guarantee that the songs will be decidedly tuneful. The Smarter Set is said to have some choice booking this season. It is reported that booking is being secured for Irvin C. Miller's Broadway Rastus Company and that the company will tour the South and West invading the East in the early spring. Just how far negotiations relative to putting out the Miller show have extended has not been made public as vet. It seems as if the colored musical comedy has lost S. H. Dudley to burlesque, just as it did Bert A. Williams to Broadway attractions some years ago. Mr. Dudley was the laughing hit of one of the Marion burlesque shows last season and this season he is said to have been given more latitude. As in the case of Mr. Williams, it has been found out by managers that the public is not interested in the race issue when it goes to the theatre to while away a few hours, and the spectacle of a colored comedian working in cork on the same stage with white performers of both sexes is not regarded as a grave offense—a crime against society—and a violation of the southern idea of "social equality." Speaking of Bert Williams, a rumor was current that he was to leave the Follies of 1917 when the show left New York, that he was to take a flier in vaudeville and then go to England to appear in several big musical reviews at a salary of $1,500 weekly, the contract to last several years. At the offices of Klaw and Erlanger, with whom, the comedian has a joint contract with F. Ziegfeld, no one seems to know anything about this new arrangement. Mr. Williams is to leave New York with the company, is the information given out. When one recalls that Ziegfeld's Follies enjoy the distinction of being the largest musical attraction in America, and that it refuses to play South because its leading comedian is a Negro, even Mr. Williams' rivals will have to concede that an unusual compliment is being paid him. Several days ago I received a letter from Mme. Sissieretta Jones (Black Patti) who has been in retirement for two seasons, taking things easy at her home in Providence, where she resides with her mother. That this famous singer's financial condition is such that she does not have to worry about where she is going to get the next month's rent should make colored Americans exceedingly proud of her. Mme. Jones is one artist who has put aside something for a rainy day. She is well able to live in a manner befitting her position. In her communication Mme. Jones did not state that she was planning to return to the stage, but from the tenor of her remarks she ```markdown ``` is not averse to heeding the call of the footlights. It would not be surprising to see Mme. Jones a feature of a colored show before the new season is well on its way. MISS LUCY SLOWE Washington, D. C., Victor in Recen, Tennis Tournament Held Here. LAFAYETTE THEATRE TO OPEN ITS FALL SEASON The Lafayette Theatre-will open its fall season next week with "The Silent Witness," one of the latest Broadway successes. To inaugurate the second fall season, the Quality Amusement Corporation has selected the play hailed as the greatest dramatic triumph since Madame X, which ran at the Longacre and Fulton theatres until way into the summer. "The Silent Witness" by Otto Hauerbach, is a gripping drama in three acts and prologue. The story centers in the fate of an impulsive boy, Bud Morgan, who, to avenge an insult to his mother, strikes a young blackguard who has sneered at her and—as he himself fancies—kills him. Bud's father, now the prosecuting counsel of a midwestern state, who, ignoring his relationship to the prisoner, finds himself charged with the duty of getting at the facts in the supposed murder case. While making investigations he is confronted—after many years—with his old sweetheart, from whose lips he hears Bud is his own son. The assistant district attorney, who is working to conject Bud and gain a reputation for himself, not knowing he is the son of his boss, affords a wonderful dramatic climax. it would spoil a pleasant evening to tell the whole story. HOMESTEAD GIANTS DROP TWO GAMES. Hot Springs, Va.—Friday and Saturday, August 24 and 25, the Brooklyn Slides of Richmond broke the Homestead Giants' winning streak by defeating the locals in the first contest by the score of 8 to 7 and the second battle by the score of 6 to 5, eleven innings. In the first game the Giants failed to live up to their past reputation and threw away many opportunities to win. In the second game George Henderson, the crack right-hander of the Giants' pitching staff, was at his very best and pitched eleven innings of gilt-edge ball. He deserved victory, but for shaky support and bone-head base running, the dumbest of its kind ever witnessed on the locals' grounds in many years. The third and last game of the series was called off to allow the Slides to fulfill an engagement in Newport, R. I. "It was a phama to see one of the best infields in the state crack in that final round," said Manager Carr of the Giants, when asked by many what did he have to say about the series.

Then in another place on the wall should hang the picture of our lamented Frederick Douglas, whose agitation did much to arouse the northern abolition sympathy for us in the dark days of slavery.

Physicians Meet in Philadelphia brief visit to the Officers' Training Camp to be organized at Fort Des Moines, Ia. Inspired by contact with the many splendid men who reported for duty from all sections of the country, and because of the advice and encouragement I was able to give together with my interest in the work of the Y. M. C. A., I was persuaded by officers and men alike to contribute my bit. As a result I am happily engaged in volunteer service in connection with the Army Y. M. C. A. now stationed at the Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines. "The service that has been my good fortune to render the camp has been in part professional, and in part looking after the general welfare of the men. Verv often difficult and perplexing problems would arise that had to be settled not only according to the merits of the case, but also with the least detriment to the progress of the men in training. In almost every case the Armv Y. M. C. A. secretary, R. B. De Frantz and I would unite our efforts in bringing about the most amicable and satisfactory adjustment. Many petty matters were settled by us, others more grave were brought to the attention of company commanders, while those most serious, were reported to the commanding officer. Although our work has been exacting and required much military tact and judgement, it also has been regarded as altogether worthwhile by the commanding officer, thoroughly appreciated by the official staff, and gratefully acknowledged by the entire student body of more than 140 men who have been greatly helped and benefited." "The personnel of Camp Des Moines represents the best blood and manhood of the Negro race—coming not from any, favored section, but instead every State in the Union, save one or two is represented. It has been my privilege to come in daily contact with men of keen intellect, prosperous business men and men who are winning distinct success in all the pursuits and walks of our varied every day, life. "It has been my privilege also to be present in a class of 100 or more men and hear the company commander ask for the translation of Latin, or French, or Spanish, when immediately many anxious hands would go up eager for first chance to give the interpretation and correctly doing so to the satisfaction and delight of both instructor and the class alike. "The splendid health condition of the men at the beginning of the camp has been maintained notwithstanding the very rigid military discipline to which the men are subjected. My frequent visits to the Fort Hospital gave the personal information of the low percentage of illness among the men. The largest number of men confined to the hospital at any one time was fifteen, ten white and five colored. This ratio at all times being about the same. The sanitary condition of the camp is well nigh perfect, and every man there com- OPELIKA, ALA R MADE PEOPLE Houses properties will convince you of s, from every point of vantage not only tenants of character and e you get, for the character of om. pection from those able to furn- rate and consistent rents. t. Street, or ts eet, N. Y. tributes his share of labor to keep it up Colonel Ballou Praises Health Condition "In referring to the health conditions, the commanding officer, Colonel Ballou, said: The physical condition of the camp is unusually high—you know it is said there is no such thing as a perfect man. But the examining doctor here told me that they have passed a number of men in whom they failed to find physical defects. It has been made a matter of record at the War Department that of 1,250 men examined by the doctors for secret disease, only five were found affected. It has been said that the War Department gave Des Moines the army camp because of its high moral surroundings. If this be true, the camp remains unsuillied, and it is up to Des Moines to keep abreast with the moral standard our boys have zealously maintained. "Prominent visitors—colored and white, women and men—from all sections of the country who have visited Camp Des Moines are unanimous in their praise of our soldier boys, and frequently, remark that it is not strange but a pity that the government should take the very best and highly cultured men of the race to prepare for war, and to send them to France to be killed. The trained military man, however, does not go into battle to be killed, but rather to live and to enjoy the larger freedom." The plant men now in training at Fort Des Moines fully realize the opportunity and accompanying responsibility that has fallen to their lot; all of them have been conscientious, and intensely in earnest, and that they will make good. "Colonel Ballou is truly a military genius. Nothing escapes his attention. He is just as earnest in giving a command of minute importance as he would be to give a command for a strategic maneuver of a regiment. The high esteem held by the men for the colonel, and the manifest interest taken by the colonel in the men has served to create a fellowship not generally found in military camps."

YOUNG PEOPLE'S OUTDOOR MEETINGS Thursday night, Aug. 30, saw the close of a big cort on the part of the Christian Endeavor Society of Bethel A. M. E. Church. During July and August, this hand of Christian workers held outdoor evangelistic services twice a week. Monday nights found them at the corner of Fifth avenue and 133rd street, and Thursday nights they were down on Amsterdam avenue and 62nd street. Being zealous for service, these young people obtained a permit at the beginning of the summer, and vowed to go out in the "highways and hedges" and render their Christian duty to humanity. Although often marred by rain, their services never failed to attract an attentive crowd, so forceful were the words spoken, and so stirring the hymns sung. The Young People are to be piloted on their earnest assistance in trying to help the sinful to repent. The Christian Endeavor Society is composed of several committees, and these services were under the direct supervision of the Evangelistic Committee, of which W. C. Garrison is the chairman. We had the co-operation of the entire organization, together with that of outsiders, prominent among whom were James Hinton, and a young white cornetist from the Christian Endeavor City Union of New York. The Young People meet every Sunday evening at six o'clock at Bethel Church, 52-60 West 132nd street. All are most cordially invited to attend their inspiring services. ARYBOSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH.
