The New York Age CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOME. TO HAVE WHITE LINE OFFICERS All Colored Regiments In New National Army are Not to be Officered by Negroes. SECOND CAMP FOR RACE less than Five Hundred Colored Men Will Receive Commissions at Fort Camp Des Moines---Ambitions Young White Men to Get Chance to Command Negroes. (Special to The New York Ae.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—On the best information obtainable, recommendations of the commandant at Camp Fort Des Moines for commissions have been received at the War Department here. When the camp was established, 1250 young colored men received appointments, 260 of whom were from the four colored regiments of the regular army. When it was announced that at least three divisions of colored troops, under the selective draft act, would be used, Negroes expected that a second camp for training of colored officers would follow in order to secure anywhere like an adequate number of colder line officers for the three divisions. The very fact that a second camp is not to be provided, although all white camps for training officers had a second assignment of men equal to the first, means that the government does not propose to officer all colored regiments with colored officers, it is pointed out. The very fact that but less than 500 commissions are to be awarded to the 1250 men who entered Camp Fort Des Moines three months ago is said to be another indication that colored regiments are to be officered by white officers—young white men who received their training at white training camps, and possessing no more ability, endurance and loyalty to country than possessed by young colored men. The War Department must furnish commissions, battalions and companies for all the young white men trained at white training camps for officers during the war, one training camp for colored officers at Ft Des Moines so as not to have more than about 450 left eligible for commission. Many are wondering if colored officers for colored regiment was but a dream of the race. PRAYER BECOMES LABOR AGENT FOR BIG CONCERN Paul G. Prayer, for the last two years labor representative of the Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Growers' Association, Hartford, Conn., left Monday for Newport News, Va., to take up his duties as labor representative of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. The firm now employs 4,500 Negroes and aside from securing labor for the company Mr. Prayer will act as intermediary between employer and employee to create a better understanding between them and the tobacco fields of Connecticut over 1,500 students from the various schools and colleges in the South. DRAFTED NEGROES WILL HAVE EQUAL PRIVILEGES Negroes of New York selected for the new National Army are to be given the same opportunities for early military training as the white men who have been drafted, in order they may have an equal chance to win Corporate and Sergent stripes. Boyce, who is in charge of in-structure the Army who drill an Governor's island, has installed four light floodlights, similar as those which light the Statute of Liberty, so they light the drill ground at night.

SAYS MOTON CAMP IN SOUTH WILL DO GOOD. SAYS MOTON (Special to THE NEW YORK AM) Union Springs, Ala.—Speaking to two thousand white and colored persons here Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, told of both races to stand by the President, the present war crisis and to save the crops already raised and show patriotism by planting winter crops now. The meeting was the culmination of a unique campaign which has been conducted among the colored people of Bullock county to awaken them to a full sense of the responsibilities in raising and conserving the food crops. Under the leadership of Mayor I. B. Feagin and other leading white citizens, the cooperative farmers were enlisted through M. B. the colored demonstration agent for the county. The white business men of the county offered prizes amounting to $100 for the best exhibits of home grown food products and handwork. Fairs were held in the eastern and southeastern part of the State under the direction of N. J. Johnson and W. E. McGowan, respectively, both of whom are successful Negro farmers and the judges, which were awarded by the judges, T. M. Campbell, district demonstration agent, and G. R. Bridgeforth, director of the Tuskegee Institute agricultural department, were presented to the successful contestants. Stirring addresses were made by Mayor Feagin, Hon. R. L. Cope and other leading white and colored people. In his address took occasion to speak of the Negro soldiers at Camp Fort Des Moines, and of the fine impression they made during his recent visit there. "I was never more proud to be a Negro," he said, "when I heard from the lips of the leading white citizens of Des Moines that because of the gentlemanly conduct of the Negro people of the white people of the city had been changed regarding the entire Negro race." Booker T. Washington as Conciliator. Concerning the location of Negro soldiers in the South, Dr. Moton said: "For thirty-five years, Dr. Booker T. Washington, whose broad understanding of the problems of the South and whose wise council in the adjustment of these problems was recognized and acknowledged by both white and colored people in the South, has a great interest in the fight and suspicion and forge ahead for the ultimate and greatest good of the South and now that he has passed from among us and left us a rich heritage of Negro progress and mutual understanding between the races, let us not falter in our upward progress because of any new test of patience, sympathy and faith in us." "The establishment of soldiers' training camps throughout the country, together with the trying economic conditions brought on by the turmoil of a world war, creates a new test of our manhood and womanhood and will tax the unmost our fortitude and self-possession in the fulfillment of our Christian duty; but I believe that the Christian the country will rise to this emergency and we will all驻 by our deed and our flag; that the best citizens of every community, both white and black, will get together for the purpose of preserving the confidence and understanding between te races and these local committees of progressive citizens can stamp out any brewing trouble. There is room enough, wisdom enough, and Christianity enough among the people of the South and the North to enable us all to work together and in times like the present, fight together for the good of our country." Aside from the Tuskegee Institute Band, which furnished music for the occasion, the party from Tuskegee in 1915 was hosted by Logan, Emmett J Scott, G R Ridgeforth, C J, Galloway, F H Cardoza and A L. Holsey (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) MONTGOMERY, ALA.-Leading colored citizens of Montgomery have organized efforts to arrange the purpose of arranging wholesome enterprise and otherwise help promote the general welfare and happiness of the race soldiers from Ohio encamped here. The committee will be assisted in every way possible by the local卫生 department once the look after the welfare of the colored soldiers in the same way that a similar committee of white will look after the entertainment of the white soldiers, Colonel Hebbard, War Secretary of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce by cooperating with the most colored committee and is doing all in his power to help make their efforts success. V. H. Tulane is chairman of the Colored Central Committee. The other members are W. J. Robinson, J. S. Burch, Dr. D. H. C. Scott, Dr. W. F. Watkins, G. E. Newstell, O. L. Campbell, J. H. Fagain and J. H. Phillips, Captain Caldwell, Ninth Ohio Battalion, is an ex-officio member. The Central Committee has organized sub-subcommittees to assist in the work entertaining the soldiers. There are sub-subcommittees bureau, athletics and social entertainments. Regular army cards will be distributed and each soldier will be invited to register his name and tell his accomplishments in athletics, music, dramatic art, etc. Some of the concerts will be held at the soldiers' camp, while others are to be held in the auditoriums, schools and churches. In addition, social functions for the soldiers and officers will be given from time to time in the leading colored Homes of the City. Camp Arrangements For Negro Conscripts Undecided COLORED SUFFAGISTS TO ARGUE QUESTION A red-hot meeting of colored suffragists is looked for Thursday evening of this week when colored delegates to the recent suffragist convention will take up the question as to whether they were slighted at Saratoga by their white sisters. The meeting will be called to order at 8:30 at the suffrage headquarters, 2285 Seventh avenue. Mrs. John Humphrey Watkins, chairman of the Manhattan Borough Branch, will speak on "The Status of the Colored Woman in the Woman Suffrage Party." Other speakers will be Miss Helen Holman and Mrs. Annie K. Lewis, who will refute any charge made that the colored delegates were discriminated against. Mrs. Lewis has the following to say relative to the treatment accorded the colored delegates at Saratoga: "We were not asked to give any report at the convention for the simple reason that no-local reports of any kind were given by anybody and our club is only a local organization. I could not introduce some of our women to Mrs. Whitehouse because I myself do not know her. If our women had been introduced they would have been welcomed cordially. At the big captains' rally held last July at the Waldorf our captains were invited to be present and their reports received great applause. Mrs. Watkins and others were as pleasant to them as to anybody. The New York Times published one of the most democratic organizations in town. In its membership are women from every class of society and from every nationality." (Washington, D. C.—Of the 687,000 Americans called for as the first increment of the National Army, it is estimated that over 70,000 will be Negroes. Owing to the non-American attitude of the radical element in the South toward the Negro, the War Department is having no little trouble determining in what manner colored soldiers are to be assigned at the various cantonments. In justice to Secretary Baker and the majority of army officials, there is no disposition on the part of the War Department to embarrass and humiliate loyal colored Americans. But with the South in the saddle it is necessary to subject the Negro to many injustices in order to pacify the professional Southerner. The South opposes the presence of colored men in the Southern cantons in asking that the Southern customs should be advised to, and then sets up a howl against the presence of colored men in Northern cantons where OVER $5,000 RAISED FOR DINWIDDIE SCHOOL (Special to The New York Act) Dinwidwa, VA—One of the secondary schools in the state for a place place among Negro educational activities is Dinwidwa Normal and Industrial School located on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, just 15 miles south of Petersburg. The school was founded in 1850 and the training of colored youth. Later Mr. Alexander Van Renneelser, of Philadelphia, took hold of it and developed it to a high degree of efficiency. In 1908 he conveyed the whole of comprising 250 teachers to the Board of Education of the A.M. E. Zion Church. The session which closed last May sent out six graduates and was counted the most successful in several years. There was a larger attendance and more interest shown by the colored people than ever before. His perhaps is accounted for by Blackwell of Philadelphia had been made the president of the Board of Trustees and put the force of his personality and office behind the most capable principal, W. E. Woodyard. The teaching force has been strengthened, three of the teachers being graduates of Fisk, Lincoln and Howard universities. Bishop Blackwell, with the assistance of Bishop J. S. Caldwell, has just closed an educational campaign for the school which resulted in $5,200. This amount, together with other sources of income, has put the school in first-class condition. The buildings have been overfaulted, the boys' dormitory enlarged, the reservoir put in first-class condition, the grounds changed and the whole plait made 'perfectly sanitary'. Principal Woodyard reports that he has on hand from the farm 100 quarts of canned heans, 13 quarts of berries, 64 quarts of apples, 35 quarts of tomatoes, and that he has 15 bushels of white potatoes, with a late crop yet to dig; 40 bushels of sweet potatoes, 2,000 heads of cabbage, a nice lot of rape, 60 heads of lettuce, 11 butcher heens 40 bushels of wheat; 11 butcher kill, 12 small pigs, quite a few chickens and plenty of feed for horses and cattle. The school is in first-class condition and offers comfortable rooms, fine table board, efficient training and good discipline. The forthcoming session opens October 3d and the largest number in the school. WHITE ROSE MON. APPEALS FOR FUNDS The following appeal has been issued by the White Rose Industrial Association, which is seeking funds to carry on the work of the association: For twenty-one-year-old White Rose Association has been asking for a great work in caring for the younger girls and women of the race going from all parts of the United States and the West Islands. (1) Finding them (2) Finding group of them (3) Sheltering them without pay (4) Helping them to the work (5) Informing them as to the best means to obtain trades and education. "During the past nine months 80 young women have been asked for in the home. It has asked 20 of them who arrived unacquainted and some penniless. The association particularly needs money for raising expenses at the home for the rest of the year. By this appeal we are likely to your attention our financial needs, due mainly to war conditions, and a curtailed income owing to the desire of large contributors. "The association feels that when the public learns that that present good work undertaken at the home may cease for lack of $500, all will without doubt contribute in large or small sums, just as their means permit. The order to be made the sum will be raised and rally at the White Rose Home, 217 East 86th street, Westbury avenue, October 7th. "Come, friends, see it that this splendid work for the care of our women and girls shall not fail. But the lack of efforts on YOUR part to make success in YOUR ER effort is too great." "Bury your bodies, you be sent to the treasurer, Mrs. S. J. Wilkerson, 1310 Park avenue, or the Miss M. L. Stone, president, 217 East 60th street. white Southern soliders may be found, caring nothing for Xenophaga customs and traditions. The normal department is therefore between the air and the deep sea. Secretary Baker that service will be sent to all the cantonments, but trained in separate units. The question, however, of the cantonments to which Negroes in States without cantonments are to be assigned is in the air and continues a matter of perplexity in the War Department. Negroes in the States with cantonments will be sent to those respective cantonments. There has been no decision either on whether the Negro troops are to be sent to France to fight in distinct units, as in brigades, or will be assigned to service by regiments. The call for Negroes will be responded so that they will be called at a separate time, giving an opportunity to the officers at the camps to assemble the organizations of which they are a part, substantially all at one time. They will not be the last called, but they will be called separately. The graduates from the Normal department receive from State Superintendent of Education, certificates to teach within the state of Virginia without further examinations. An advertisement giving terms, etc., will be found in this issue. 15TH REGIMENT BAND (Special to The New York Ank) BORDETOWN, N.Y. Through the hands of Jody Dayton, the commander of the New York National Guard at Camp Dix, Wrightstown, the band of New York's crack regiment gave a concert Monday afternoon on the campus of the Industrial School. The audience was large and appreciative. Over one thousand people, including students and interested visitors from Trenton, Mt. Mt. Pleasant, and New Jersey. The music was certainly brightful. The band was admirably conducted by E. Francis Mikel, who last year was musical director of the school. The program was varied by the beautiful singing of Noble Sissle. John Gill, chairman of the committee on the Housing of Negro Immigrants in New York, praised the excellent music of the man. He said a great deal about the success of the Bordertown School and the improvements which have been made. BALTIMORE Y. M. C. A.

M. C. A., have given rise to the belief that the location has been abandoned. Protests on the part of white residents of McCullah street and threats of law suits have made directors of the white association angry. It is said. The white Y. M. C. A. raises $50,000 for a new building, and some of the white members fear that locating the colored Y. M. C. A. at Dalphin and McCullah streets will cause the white associations to lose some financial support. In the placing of the entrance on Dalphin, would not violate the segregation law, but whites on McCullah street object to part of the property being East St. Louis Mayor Indicted For Failure to Check Race Riots; Grand Jury Charges Unfitness THOUSANDS ATTEND CUMMINGS' FUNERAL BALTHORE, Md.-The funeral of Councilman Harry Cummings, who died last week after having been in ill health for some time, was held Monday afternoon from Metropolitan M.

A SERIOUS DANGER IN SOUTHERN CITIES (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) GAMALEXON, Tex. — C. Branch has written a letter to the editor of *Pearl Harbor* asking the public to take notice that appeared in the September issue, entitled "Democratic Massacres in East St. Louis," by Martin Greening. In the course of his letter, he said that there is another serious problem, which the white press could do much toward remedying. He continued: "This serious problem is in the South more especially in city, town and village where the police force uneducated white men from the rural districts who place no value upon the lives of colored men. In the southern cities they make the mistake in selecting anybody in filling the positions of police officers. They should select men who have the qualifications from the fact that ignorant men have no conception of right. They often dog color-corrected men and take to take this treatment." It does not even stop there, they often dog and mistreat unarmed colored soldiers. They don't know that there is no earthly power to prevent these soldiers from going and coming back. Any fair-minded man who has been around colored soldiers knows, as a rule; they are harmless, but no man can mistreat them. They are nice and sociable to talk. "We present an indictment against Hon. Fred W. Mollman, Mayor of East St. Louis, for malfeasance in office. "Mayor Mollman must be judged by his actions as proven by the evidence. If his failure to give directions to the militia, and his failure to call upon the Sheriff's office, and his failure to deputize citizens who offered their services were the result of lack of ability or of fright, his office should be taken away from him and given to an efficient person. "If his failure to act was because his sympathies were with those who sought to drive the Negro out of East St. Louis, he should make room for a chief executive who is in favor of enforcing 100 per cent, of the laws. The law-abiding citizens and greater industries, and the respectable laboring men of East St. Louis should unite and demand the resignation of the Mayor, as the greatest good he can do his city." (Special to The New York Ace.) Bellville, Ill.—Mayor Fred W. Mollman of East St. Louis has been indicted by the St. Clair County Grand Jury charged with malfeasance in office, based on his failure to check the East St. Louis race riot when many Negroes were killed and injured July 2. The grand jury, in its report, severely scores Mayor Mollman for sympathizing with those who sought to drive the Negroes out of the town. Our evidence shows us that the cotes of corrupt politicians who have been the undoing of the Mayor, and who have contributed to the former inefficiency and corruption of the police department, are continuously at work, will be able to hamper the Fire and Police Commission as long as Mr. Mollman retains the office of Mayor. "We have not been able, from lack of time, to apprehend, and return indictments against, all who committed crimes in the recent riots in East St. Louis. The grand jury of the September term of the Circuit Court meets September 17, and we recommend that they continue this investigation until the indictments are guilty of having committed war in which we are now engaged, will be able to proceed with safety and efficiency. New Officials Have Courage. "About a month and a half after the riot of July 2, a new Police and Fire Commission took charge of the police force and fire department. In the State of Illinois should do its share by establishing a non-partisan State Constabulary to be used on extraordinary occasions, as suggested in our former mayor's honor." Fred W. Mollman was elected Mayor of East St. Louis on a "law and order" Thirty-seven indictments returned against rioters, among them being Maurice Ahearn, the Mayor's secretary. The same grand jury on August 15 indicted indictments against 05 persons involved in the riot. Judge Crow in the Circuit Court at Bellville Saturday, the jury completed its labors. The September grand jury, soon to be impanelled, will continue the riot inquiry. The total number of riot indictments now pending is now 144. It is rumored that the grand jury was making an inquiry involving a prominent lawyer. Whether he is one of the other thirty-seven indicted persons has not been made known. Worked With Corrupt Politicians. The grand jury charges in its report that whether Mollman's inaction was due to fright, to inability or to sympathy with the rioters, he showed his unfitness for office. It said that so long as he remained in office, "a cover of corrupt politicians" would continue to hamper efforts for good government, and it urged citizens to demand his resignation, "as the greatest good he can do his city." Mollman's secretary, Maurice Ahearn, was indicated on the charge of being a conspirator in the riot, the specific character of the police officer to arrest photographers and to arrest cameras, thus preventing the making of photographs and moving pictures which would have served as evidence against the guilty men. "No man gave greater aid to the rioters than Ahearn," the grand jury declares in its report. Further denouncing the conduct of Mollman and Secretary Ahearn, the report reads: "We present an indictment against his private secretary, Maurice Ahearn, for being a conspirator in the riot, in that he ordered the police force of East St. Louis, and the militia, to destroy the cameras of persons attempting to take photographs of the rioting, preventing moving picture machines for the rioting mobs, and thus destroying evidence which would have been so valuable to the grand jury in ascertaining more of the real offenders. "No man gave greater aid to the rioters, and assured them more safety from prosecution, than did Maurice Ahearn when he ordered that the photographers defied their free rights to take pictures of the scenes of the rioting, and ordered that their cameras he destroyed." "We have hopes that out of the results of our efforts, East St. Louis will be a safe city to live in that the property owners will be safe from the firebrand of the 'secondary' and that the great city will be safe." The New York Age IS RELEASED. WHEN YOU SEE IT IN "THE AGEN" YOU CAN DEFEND UPON IT. NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. Indicted Race Riots; its Unfitness against Hon. Fred W. Mollman, malfeasance in office.

They have both courage and ability, and have both philanthropy and wisdom of corrupt politicians who have been the undoing of the Mayor, and who have contributed to the former incidence and corruptness of the police department, are continuously at work, and will be able to hamper the Fire and Police Commission as long as Mr. Mollman retains the office of Mayor. We have not been able, from lack of time, to learn from such indictments against, all who committed crimes in the recent riots in East St. Louis. The grand jury of the September term of the Circuit Court meets September 17, and we recommend that they continue this investigation until further notice. "To bring about permanent stability war in which we are now engaged, will be able to proceed with safety and efficiency. New Officials Have Courage. "About a month and a half after the riot of July 2, a new Police and Fire Commission took charge of the police force, and fire department. It the State of Illinois should do its share by establishing a non-partisan State Constabulary to be used on extraordinary occasions, as suggested in our former report to your honor." Fred W. Mollman was elected Mayor of East St Louis on a "la w" and order platform. He was re-elected last spring. The inactivity of the police during the massacre, although they were under his jurisdiction, is said to have been of the chief reason leading to Mayor Mollman's indictment.

Advertiser is one of the few great daily newspapers of the South that refuses to become hysterical over the question of sending Negro soldiers to encampments in that section. Discussing the presence of a battalion of these soldiers at Camp Sheridan, four miles from Montgomery, it says: Our own people believe that the young Negro men of the country should be drafted into the army. They would think it most unjust, if the white men were drafted and the Negroes were left behind. The government has very wisely adopted the policy of applying the draft law, impartially to all races and to all creeds. If the Negro is drafted and made to serve his country under arms, he is certainly entitled to fair and just treatment in the training camps of the country. If he is worthy to carry a rifle in France, he is worthy to be trained in the use of that rifle in America. The Advertiser further says that an important factor in the adjustment of the issue will be the services of the intelligent and well to do members of the colored race in Montgomery. It concludes that they will do as much for the Negro soldiers as the white people will do for the white soldiers. It is refreshing to find such a sane view taken of this vexed question, in a quarter where so much intolerance has hitherto prevailed. FUSION IN THE PRIMARIES The primary elections to choose candidates for the municipal candidates to be voted for next November, will be held September 19. The enrolled Republicans will then have the opportunity to decide whether they want to continue the present Puslon officials in office or whether they shall nominate a straight Republican ticket. As a straight Republican ticket has but small chance of election in New York City, the only effect of the latter result would be to help elect a Tammany ticket. While the most ardent supporters of the present administration cannot claim perfection for its record, it is generally conceded to have been characterized by business efficiency and honesty of purpose. Mistakes have been made doubtless in certain matters and all the results aimed at have not been achieved, but on the whole an advance for good government has been scored. A liberal policy of square dealing has been inaugurated in the police and fire departments and all citizens have been protected in their rights and privileges. An appeal to the proper authorities has always added a considerable hearing and --- sons those contents of management the best government attainable under present conditions will favor the retention in office of the present city officials. WOMEN AND THE WAR. An important phase of war conditions now to be faced is plainly set forth by William M. Ashby, a well known Welfare League worker of New Jersey. This is the question of sex morality as affected by the presence of large bodies of soldiers in communities where women and girls form a considerable factor. The results of the license accorded, or forced upon a community by war conditions, were recognized at an early stage in France, and certain measures were taken to minimize the evil results and alleviate the suffering incident thereto. Puritanical sentiment of the British shut its eyes to the situation as long as possible, but at last had to face the conditions. The situation in this country bids fair to bring about similar results, as human nature does not vary much in times of stress. It demands the attention of all social, welfare workers, the clergy and last, but not least the family physicians, who can do much to awaken the mothers and guardians of adolescent girlhood to the dangers involved. Much can also be done among the soldiers themselves to turn their activities into legitimate channels and to restrain them from excesses of a hurtful nature. But it is well to have attention directed to the possible dangers of the situation, so that measures may be taken in time to guard against the inevitable results if uncurbed license is permitted. Let the relations of the soldiers with the females of any community be safeguarded as far as possible. IS KING COTTON A TRAITOR? One of the definitions of treason, according to the Constitution, includes the giving of aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. Germany is certainly the greatest enemy the country has today. To make her enmity effective, Germany requires and secures an enormous amount of cotton as the material for making ammunition and high explosives. These death dealing agents will undoubtedly be used against the American soldiers now being sent abroad. The supplying of the cotton needed for this purpose is the greatest aid and comfort that could be given Germany. Now, it is charged the only supplies of cotton for this purpose come from the United States. Of course, they are not shipped direct to Germany, but in some way are transmitted through the adjacent neutral countries. Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Spain are buying more cotton than can be utilized in their own industries and the surplus undoubtedly reaches the German ammunition makers. The apparent remedy for this state of affairs would be to stop the exportation of cotton. Let an embargo be declared by the administration. But softly, King Cotton rules the South and the South has some influence with this administration, and especially in the Congress. The cotton growers must have their profits just as the gun runners of Texas, who supplied Villa and Carranza with weapons that were later used to "snipe" American soldiers. But, the question persists: "Is King Cotton a traitor?" A Russian professor has discovered that the ailment that has paralyzed the activities of the Russian people in their struggles to establish their new freedom is "mass Psychosis." The symptoms are described as a morbid craying for committee meetings, delegations and demonstrations. These symptoms are not entirely foreign to various group movements in this country. In fact it might be inferred that the Negro race is not free from a slight touch of "mass . Psychosis." Perhaps the complaint is incidental to the development of any race, in its attainment of the full stature of manhood. Some- A POEM AND SOME NEW BOOKS. Several weeks ago I said to Age readers that we would drop the maddening problems for a moment and go back to poetry. The decision must have pleased some of our readers because the writer received several pleasant letters on the departure. The decision was prompted by the reading of a wonderful little poem by Louis Untermeyer, which was reprinted in this column. One of the letters we received was from a young colored poet of Greater New York. In his letter, this young poet stated his belief that he could write good poetry, "yes, as good as the poem, 'Ishmael', by Mr. Louis Untermeyer." He also expressed the opinion that editors do not read the poems sent in by unknown writers but throw them in the waste basket. To substantiate his claim that he could write as good poetry as Louis Untermeyer, he sent in one of his poems. The poem is not, by any measure, perfect, but it is good. It will be printed in The Age at some time, but I do not reproduce it in this connection because of the handicap which the young poet placed upon himself by the comparison he drew. In reproducing Mr. Untermeyer's poem, I stated the wish that some colored poet had expressed for the Negro what Mr. Untermeyer had expressed for the Jew. Strange, the thing had already been done. The poem is by Roscoe C. Jamison and appears in the current issue of The Crisis. I reproduce it here and it suffers no whit by comparison with Mr. Untermeyer's "Ishmael"; indeed, I consider it a greater poem.

Read it through several times, and each time it will reveal new beauty and new truth. Now let me say a word to those who are interested in poetry in particular and literature in particular about Mr. William Stanley Braithwaite's new book, "The Poetic Year." First of all, in the light of race conditions, it seems a paradox that a colored man should in this country occupy the position as an authority on poetry that Mr. Braithwaite occupies. Some one might ask if it is any more of a paradox that he is an acknowledged critic than that he is an acknowledged poet. My answer is, yes. As a poet, Mr. Braithwaite writes whatever he pleases, whether it pleases other people or not; as a critic, he stands as an acknowledged judge and arbiter of all the poetry written in America. And so, the poets of the East and the poets of the West and even the multitudinous singers of the South are anxious to know what Braithwaite thinks about their work. "The Poetic Year" is a discursive criticism of the poetry output for 1916. The form in which the book is written makes it pleasant reading for those who would not be interested in the dry bones of literary criticism. A reading of the book will repay any lover of what is good in literature; and will be especially valuable to those who wish to know what and how present-day poets are writing. Another book, that falls in somewhat the same category, is "Creative Criticism," by Dr., now Major, J. E. Spingarn. The ordinary reader need not be frightened by the title; for although criticism is generally considered a dry subject, this book is highly interesting. It contains four chapters, "The New Criticism," "Dramatic Criticism and the Theatre," "Prose and Verse," and "Creative Connoisseurship" with an appendix, "A Note on Genius and Taste." Those who wish to learn something about the art of criticism and to acquire One of the by-products of the war, of any war, is the assimilation of new words into the language. The Boer wag added to the English vocabulary the words, "trek" and "commahdeer," the first indicating an expedition across country and the latter a seizure for military purposes. The Philippines campaign brought the term "hiking" into use, while the present European conflict has popularized many French words. "Camoiflage," the tatest of these, is used to describe any device intended to deceive the enemy. Covering the big guns with foliage so as to hide their location or painting destroyers with green waves come under this head. So war adds new lessons in etymology as well as geography and history. It is authoritatively announced by direction of the chief signal officer of the War Department, that no colored aero squadrons are being formed and applications from Negroes for this branch of the service cannot be considered for that reason. The young men of the race who desire to enlist in the aviation department will therefore have no opportunity to try their wings --- C.

Those who the art of criticism and to acquire at present. On the other hand the young physicians and dentists in various parts of the country are being commissioned as captains and lieutenants in the medical reserve corps. Appeals are also being addressed to men of the race to enlist as cooks and bakers. Consistency has no place in the plans of the war evidently, so far as the Negro is concerned. An appeal has been issued to the churches to set apart September 16 as National Race Congress Sunday, to be observed with prayer for the National Congress to be held in New York next week. The prayer might appropriately take the form of an addition to the Litany, with the formula, "Good Lord; deliver us." THE AGE is reliably informed that there will be no second training camp opened to which Negroes will be admitted, after the closing of the one that has been conducted at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. The results of the first camp of this nature will be awaited with much interest by the race throughout the country. The attendance has comprised the best of our manhood from both a mental and, physical standpoint, and most of them should be well qualified to hold commissions in the regular army. time in general, cannot do better than to read "The New Criticism." The race question continues to bob up in literature; in fact, there are always new indications that it will some day be the most vital subject in American poetry, drama and stories. This time it is set forth in a book by Paul Kester called "His Own Country." The main character in the book is a young quadroon, born a slave on a Virginia plantation, who goes to Canada, becomes a prosperous physician, marries a white woman, acquires by purchase the mansion and lands of his former master, who was also his father, and returns to Virginia to live the life of a Southern gentleman. When he gets there things begin to happen, and they don't sto phappening until the last page of the book is reached. It is said that Mr. Kester spent ten years gathering material for his book, and that he wrote it with the intention of stating both sides of the race question. There is evidence all through the book that Mr. Kester intends to be fair, but unconsciously, perhaps, he is unfair. He is led into being unfair by attempting to show both sides in one character: Dr. Brent starts out as one of the finest characters a writer could draw, but before the end of the story is reached, he shows all the vanity, the bumptiousness and the obnoxiousness that are supposed to be the traits of every Negro who rises above the grade of a field hand. Nevertheless, the book contains many good things. There is outlined in it a plan of organization for the race which could not be excelled. Moreover, it is a fascinating story. One which if started, cannot be laid aside until it is finished. It is a book that colored people should read. There is another racial book, but of a different kind, in that it does not discuss the "problem.' This book is "The Colored Girl Beautiful," by E. Azalia Hackley, the well known singer and lecturer. "The Colored Girl Beautiful" is a book of beauty hints, but not only of physical beauty, but of spiritual beauty. It should prove an inspiration to all who read it.

The political and social problems in in the political life of America today is that the Government in Washington in 1917 does not represent a majority of the United States and in people, but is the creation of fraud and honesty in the South and cowardice betrayal in the North, through the Democratic party. No honest American pretends that democracy—government of the people, for the people, by the people—exists south of the Mason and Dixon line. The suppression of the most vital principles of Americanism is the rule, not the exception, there. The complete elimination of the vote of black American citizens is never denied and is frequently boasted; the suppression of hundreds of thousands of votes of white Americans is equally a fact, though seldom discussed. This end is accomplished by undisguised violation of the Constitution of the United States, by legal tricks and frauds, by violence and terrorism and a mockery of freedom and democracy; and the result is a fraudulent representation in Congress, procured land dominated by a number of political office holding, white oligarchies which, aided by Federal patronage and the servility of Northern Democratic Congressmen, has enabled the unified Southern fraudulent oligarchy to seize the Government of the United States. Thus we have an insolent and unscrubulous minority fastened on the back of the people, posing as a majority enacting and enforcing policies detrimental to democracy and ruinous its interests, wrecking industry, destroying commerce, multiplying taxes, expenditures and officeholders, and in practice placing the burdens and sacrifices of war, in men and money, on the industrious and lawabiding North. This bogus majority, the majority intrenched in the seat of authority by fraud, chicaney and lawlessness, impudently demands that the real majority of the republic, the majority of numbers, intelligence, wealth, education, industry and progress, shall submit cheerfully to its unscrupulous activities and extravagances. It is time for the North to sit up and for its editors to learn the rudimentary principles and scandalous realities of American political life—New York Sun RACIAL MORALITY AND SOLDIERS." To the Editor of The New York Age. In an age in which criticism and disunity are the vogue, to praise anything or any one is unwise and dangerous. But it seems that we may, without manifesting, a too repulsive vanity praise ourselves for the cooperation and the results therefrom in handling and adjusting at least for a time, the 40000 person of our race, the 40000 person of our race thrown into the northern cities overnight. But this adjustment, social, economic, moral, religious, is only one of the big things before us now. There is another problem: arising mountain-like, which we must most hastily prepare. It is this: What is going to be the result on the chastity and morality of our girls in southern cities, who will be exposed to the attacks and onslaughts of the of the various cantonments? We had as well be open and truthful; some of our girls, some of the girls of other races will go to the men in uniform. There is something about a human being in a military uniform tractive to many. Added to this is the fact that the soldier, conscious of his part in the nation, takes oftentimes limited freedom in preying upon persons. Already in Europe there are more than 200,000 illegitimate children born since the beginning of the present hostilities. In some cases there is a German father and a Belgian, French or Russian mother, or vice versa. How is this going to affect the future morality of Europe? How will a duplication of this action, and there is almost a certainty that there will be, affect our future here? Despite the Houston affair there has as yet come no败从 the war department relative to separate cantonments for whites and Negroes. They will train together in the South. In any community the weakest and least protected are always the ones who are most savagely attacked. The white men will, in all likelihood, meet our girls. But so will our own colored soldiers. What effect is this going to have on our race color, race consciousness, race morality, race identity? Shall we, in the next generation be a race of mutilatoes? Shall we have less moral and religious stamina than we can now justly boast of? The men are going to these cantements. They have not gone yet. To make socks, handkerchiefs, tobacco cases, to give them, itself is a good, but not fundamental thing. The morality of the race is about to be threatened. The social and religious forces among our people everywhere, but especially about the cantements, should get themselves together and with a well organized plan he able to meet this situation which, is inevitable. We shall regretfully see its results in another few years if we do not: WILLIAM M. ASHBY. Newark, N. J. MONTGOMERY AND NEGRO 80L ... DIERS. (From Montgomery Advertiser.) We, of the South, all these years, have contended that we know best how to meet and settle the Negro question. Under orders of the War Department, as those orders now stand, the Ohio National Guard has been ordered into camp at Montgomery, and with it a battalion of Negro soldiers, of which one company is now at Camp Sheridan. The presence of this battalion of Negro soldiers will offer to our section, a new phase of our old question, but it is none the less the duty of Montgomery to make good our old and accepted claim that we know best how to deal with the Negro problem. The Advertiser believes that the time has come, when we should discuss this new phase of the question freely and frankly. The Advertiser does not see any just reason for fearing that there will be any disturbance in the relations of the races, even should a battalion of colored soldiers be encamped four miles from the city.

FRANK CRANE, A new play called “The Pawn" was presented last week at the Fulton Thea- tre. It is a drama built around the old motif of race. +A boy and his sister are brought up in America, educated in our schools, saturated with our social life, and made to feel that they are wholly’ American, only to discover, when, they reach sng: turity and are about ‘to marry winte folks, that they are half-breed. Then comes tragedy. Why? If a man loves a girl, if she has that strange selective appeal of the _ One ‘Woman, what difference does it make who hef ancestors were? ‘Of course, some people feel very strongly upon this matter. Here in the United States, as a legacy from [generations of African slavery, we have 2 very bitter prejudice against Negro blood. There are doubtless many who would rather seg their son or daughter dead’ than married to one in whom is any trace of black blood. Tam not arguing against nor for this, but_am simply stating facts. ‘There are other prejudices of less de- gree. On the Pacific coast many of the whites make it almost a point of reli- gion to despise the Orientals, I have heard Californians talk as rabidly against the Japanest as any southerner ever expressed himself against Negroes. ‘There is very much the same scorn |in the breast of Lady Vere de Vere at the idea of her son Reggie marrying fone of the Boggs girls, for Boggs is a butcher. . “= Royalty also, in the-countries where they keep kings, may not marry.common folk, except _morganatically, — which means in a left-handed way and with their fingers crossed. ‘About this time, and for some years to come, an English or French boy would better count ten before he mar- ries a German fraulein, as we are working up a nice juicy hate toward all Teutons. - Then there's thé hate between Catho- lics and Protestants, between Mussul- mans and all dogs of unbelievers, Christians and Jews, and so on. ‘The world of men seems still to be in hate-tight compartments. We haven't exactly the rigidity of the Hind, castes nor the ferocity of the Kentucky feuds, but we are yet fairly good de- spisers. We still believe in the ‘Superior Race, which, of course, is the race to which we happen to belong. _ The one unruly element that persists in ignoring the white thunders of race purity, that keeps on jumping over race fences to the horror and dismay of the elect, is the human heart. -Love, jdiotic, of course, and heady, continues t laugh at pedigrees, and circumvent the wis- dom of mammas and noble houses, and the young fools marry the girl with a dimple and the winning way, and the young foolesses go on choosing . the handsome and dashing fellow. even if his father was a Mexican or his grand- mother rolled a pusheart on Delancey street. oo __ Come to think of it, thi United States is a country of mongrels, more or less. One of my own ancestors, named Adam, was an Oriental, they say. 5 “Maybe in a few thousind years we will grow out of all this compheation And if we do, it will be the aforesaid Human Heart 'that will lead the way.— New York Globe. “ARE YOU A MASON?"
