WORK OF ASSOCIATIONS Press Sent to Work With Indian and Egypt Troops in British East Africa and at Southern Containments - I. W. C. A. Protecting Women in Military of Camps. (Sponsored to THE NEW YORK ACADEMY) WASHINGTON, D. C.-Under the direction of Channing H. Tobias, secretary of International Committee of Y. C. A. for colored students, assisted Misses Bowes and Evans, Y. W. C. secretaries, the colored students of women are planning to wage the greatest campaign of sacrificial giving ever into by colored students. To end two preparatory conferences be held: One at Hampton, October and 13, and the other at Atlanta, Ga. October 19 and 20. Picked association men will assemble in these conferences to receive instructions on method for conducting the local campaigns. The students of America of all races set themselves to the task of raising $1,000,000 for the relief of men in prison camps abroad and for the aid of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. for the troops at home. This Stuart Friendship Fund is to supplement great $35,000,000 found to be raised the War Work Council. Colored students everywhere will wel- this opportunity to assist a move- that is doing so much for Negro ers in this and other lands. Ally ave colored college men have seat to work with Indian and Neth- scoops in British East Africa. Still they are not as well educated as they appear to be. A very important Array constituents. H. C. A. Starts Work at Southern Campus. the association has already begun its work at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., and Jackson, Columbia, S. C., to say nothing of the important work that it is been doing at Fort Des Moines and every national guard camp where colmen have been placed. The National Board of the Y. W. C. A. has recently assumed a large budget to proft the interests of colored women living in the vicinity of army camps. in an address on this subject delivered at Hampton Institute last Sunday using Mr. Tobias gave the following reasons colored students should entrust enthusiastically into this cammp. I. Because it is the only way that students who are left behind in the schools college can enter into fellowship in the sufferings, with their fellows are sacrificing life itself, I. Because it is an opportunity to save Dr. John R. Mott, just returned from Russia, estimates that $10 will be the life of one prisoner of war this latter. 1. Because such a demonstration of selfishness on the part of Negro students will give an added argument to those who are fighting the battle for justice and fair play to the race. 2. Because of the wonderful reflex in initial results that will follow such an act. POLICE START MOVE TO CLEAN UP HARLEM The Police Department has assigned officers Battle and Rose to the Urban League to cooperate in the clearing of the street corners of those who molest curbies and interfere with the free passage of persons at the entrances of the subway stations and to aid in the hardening of burglaries who have been keeping such a harvest recently in the building of apartment houses in Harlem. These officers will also make an effort to stop well-dressed crooks from preying on unsophisticated young men, often corner comers from the South who are accused in "skin" games with which they are acquainted; and will refer to the free employment agencies idle young men who are hanging around pool rooms about visible means of support and are fast getting into evil ways. INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS (Special to THE NEW YORK ANN.) MONTGOMERY, Ala.-For the first time in the history of the public school system, Dr F. C. Caffey, "a native son" has been appointed as school inspector of the colored children of the City of Montgomery. The selection of Dr Caffey means children with pure blood and strong体质, being one of the race's foremost additioner. He will give the children this city the best there is in him. From a sanitary standpoint, the equal best colored schools in the South. The creation of this position and the appointment of a colored physician is another evidence of the relationship exists between the races in Montgomery. COLONED COUNTRY CLUB IS A SUCCESS HARTPORD, Conn. — The Negro citizens of the State of Connecticut enjoy the distinction of having the first colored country club in America, according to the Hartford Times, whose correspondent, writing from Cheshire, Conn., says: "With the opening of the Cheshire Country Club, in this place, Connecticut has what is probably the only country club for colored people in this country. In the short time, that it has been in existence, however, the venture has proven to be of worth, has secured a membership of more than 200 representative colored people and has turned out to be a financial success to a degree that has encouraged its founder to lay out tennis courts and a five hole golf course. "The idea accompanied with Johnson L. Haile of Washburn, a representative colored person of that city who was head waiter at the old Scoville House for many years before it was burned and who for the past seven years has been steward for Mrs. Harriet B. Thorpe. Mr. Haile used frequently to pass the property where the club is now located and more than once remarked to his wife he should like to buy the place for a residence. Then came the thought of purchasing it and founding a country club / for colored people, which should draw its membership from limited and congenial circles. Last January the property, which consists of the house and twenty-two acres, was purchased.Of Mrs. Minnie S. Stanwood of Hartford. Some alterations were made, but owing to the scarcity of labor all the contemplated changes were not put through. The place was opened in July: Board of Goxermers. Although the property is owned and controlled by Mr. Haile, who arranges for the service and the upkeep of the place, the club has a board of governors who pass on all applications for membership and who have a voice in all matters which have to do with the welfare of the organization. The board is made up as follows: Johnson L. Haile, Waterbury; J. Edward Jones, Waterbury; Thomas L. Anderson, Shelton; James E. Kefoed, Waterbury; Dr. P. F. Anderson, Waterbury; Thomas Coleman, Ansonia; Theodore Jackson, Meriden; Dr. B. B. Costa, Waterbury; G. Frank Baker, New Haven; Henry A. Hatcher, Waterbury; Charles Keith, New Haven; Colpole, P. Harford; J. W. Murphy, Harford; Joseph S. Robinson, Harford; Benjamin McIntyre, Harford; Dr. A. C. Bradley, Bridgeport; Daniel Brown, New Haven; Dr. Thomas Gibbs, Bridgeport; U. S. Bethel, Harford; W. A. Bradley, Waterbury. "The club does not confine its membership to this state. Among the more than 200 members there are some who reside as far south as Washington, D.C., and Knoxville, Tenn. There are members scattered throughout New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts as well as Connecticut. The initial charge is $5 for each member. "The clubhouse is most conveniently located and commands a choice outlook, especially from the rear of the building. It is less than fifty yards distant from the tracks of the New Haven and Waterbury trolley and about the same space away from a small flag station on the line of railroad connecting Hartford and Waterbury. A finely kept state trunk line highway passes the clubhouse. "It is located on a slight terrace which extends back from the road about 160 feet to the house. The lawn in front presents a fine appearance. The clubhouse is well arranged for the use to which it has been put. A wide veranda extends across the front and the length of one side. The main entrance opens into a large parlor or ballroom which can be used for dancing, card parties or other functions. There is a billiard room and other small rooms. Good Taste Prevails. "The house is furnished in good taste and has an appearance of comfort and homelikeness that is attractive. Among the furnishings are a piano and large victrola. In good weather the tables are set on the veranda and sometimes on the lawn. As soon as the contractors can do the work, the veranda at the end of the building will be enclosed in glass and tables will be put in there. Meals may be obtained at short notice and elaborate banquets will be served if ordered in advance. A steward and his wife room on the premises and the clubhouse is open to members at all times. "Just now grading is being done at the rear of the building for the tennis courts. No doubt the courts and the sidelines will be popular, for a magnificent view is obtainable from there. The estate consists of twenty-two acres of wooded and rolling ground. Patches have been cleared and vegetables for use on the club tables have been raised. A little grove forms an ideal picnic ground and on Labor Day a clambake was held there, at which more than 300 people were served. "Sundays find the club well patronized. Automobiles are parked on the lawn and at the side of the house and guests are flitting in and out of the club. Located conspicuously as it is, the new venture attracts much attention and considerable favorable comment. Without Club License. "The club has no licence, but the members are living in hoper of getting one. Cheshire is a dry town, however, and for that reason is not the ideal location for a country club which otherwise it (Continued from pars. 87) Mobilization of the Colored Drafted Men Is in Progress The mobilization of colored drafted men for the new National Army has begun.

One Negro Division of the New National Army to be Formed and Sent to France (Special to The New York Am) WASHINGTON, D. C.—General Tasker H. Bliss, Chief of Staff of the Army, with the approval of Secretary Baker, has made a big shift in the forces of the National Army. It is announced that one of the divisions will be made up of Negroes and probably will be designated as the Ninety-second Division, National Army. It will be mobilized as a division when ordered to France for duty. The force will be the largest fighting unit of Negro troops in the army and the majority of its officers will be colored. The division will take in nearly 30,000 of the 83,000 drafted colored men. The force will be the largest f army and the majority of its officer take in nearly 30,000 of the 83,000 Instead of concentrating all of the colored men in the few cantonments of the Southern States the policy of the War Department will be to distribute them more or less evenly throughout all the sixteen cantonments. In the Southern States whose quotas go to the cantonments at Columbia, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., and Little Rock, Ark., (Camps Jackson, Gordon and Pike.) the number of white men required to fill up the National Guard divisions furnished by those same States is so great, and the proportion of colored to white in the populations of those States is so great, that it has been found to be physically impossible to organize three National Guard and three national army divisions at full strength from the white quotas of these States, and therefore the War Department has decided to take all of the white men from these States; both National Guard and national army, and organize them into four full strength divisions (Three National Guard and one national army). This national army division will be organized at Camp Jackson, from the men left over at Camps Jackson, Gordon and Pike after the three National Guard divisions (Thirtieth, Thirty-first and Twentieth). A white quota has been transferred to the National Guard and to Camp Jackson, there will be organized a national army division made up of surplus white men drawn from Camps Devens, Upton, Dix Meade and Lee, and at Camp Pike after its white quota has been transferred to the National Guard and Camp Jackson, there will be formed a national army division made up of surplus white men drawn from Camps Sherman, Custer,' Grant, Taylor, Dodge, Funston and Travis. Where Colored Troops Train. Following the announcement Tuesday by General Bliss, the Chief of Staff, regarding the disposition of colored troops, the following additional details of the distribution were furnished in a memorandum from Major General McCain, the Adjutant General, to Major General Crowder, the Provost Marshal General: The Secretary of War has directed that the colored quotas, when called to the colors, will be distributed as follows: The commanding Generals at Camps Jackson, Gordon and Pike have been informed that the War Department plans contemplate filling up the Thirtieth, Thirty-first and Thirty-ninth National Guard divisions from the white men of Camps Jackson, Gordon and Pike, concentrating all of the remaining white men of the three last-mentioned camps at Canip Jackson, and there forming a national army division representing the white quotas of Camps Jackson, Gordon and Pike; forming at Camp Gordon a national army division of the surplus white men from Camps Devens, Upton, Dix, Meade and Lee, and forming at Camp Pike a national army division of surplus white men from Camps Sherman, Custer, Grant, Taylor, Dodge, Funston and Travis.

Church, 134th street, on Thursday night, October 4. It was also voted that the movement be merged into the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and that a strong branch of that organization be established with headquarters in Harlem.

The Advancement Association now comprises ninety branches scattered all over the country with a membership of nearly 9,000. The largest and strongest branches are located at Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, St. Louis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Northern California.

FULL TIME for ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL PART TIME How Mitchel is doing away with part-time in the schools- FOR twenty years thousands of our children have been getting only three and three-quarter hours' schooling a day instead of five. This is a condition New York should be ashamed of, for every American child is entitled to a first-class free education. Mitchel inherited from Tammany an outfit of school-buildings so inadequate that there were 117,000 children on part-time and double-session in the elementary schools in 1914. He found it would cost $40,000,000 to provide new schools for them and the growing population, and the city didn't have the money. But he made up his mind something would have to be done. He found a school superintendent in Gary, Indiana—Mr. Wirt, who had acquired a national reputation in carrying out a new idea for children's education. He believed that the children of the public schools were entitled to an all-around education like that given the children of the well-to-do in private schools. For instance, in private schools they not only teach reading, writing, arithmetic, etc., but they have carpentry, clay modeling, picture-lectures and gardening. They have gymnasiums, tanks for swimming, and other things that train the body as well as the brain. -that Mitchel in order to make good must have behind him a working majority of the Board of Estimate Here is the Fusion ticket and the number of votes each will cast in the Board; the number Board: - 3 votes - 3 " en - 3 " - 2 votes - 2 " - 1 vote - 1 " - 1 " for those ough! Fusion Com KINKY Hair made Not with hot irons. But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest ha. straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little comfort, the hair becomes straight, not to stair; for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing will make it kink again after it has been worked. Kink-no-more is a wonder worked. It works so good that do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. I offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurian growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more to under a guarantee to do all that it claimed for it or money refunded. It will hold it on the receipt of $14 a regular size box of Kink-no-more enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair.

Among the failings to which human nature is prone is the tendency to magnify and make the most things of evil report, while often ignoring and counting as naught the things that go to make the world better. This tendency is illustrated by the vogue that has been attained in the field of what is known as "yellow journalism." The popular news sheet gaining the largest circulation is often the one that gives the greatest space to crimes and scandals, with the fullest details that can be given without falling under the ban of the law. A regrettable feature of our race journals, or a limited number at least, is the adoption of the style of the yellow journal as a means to popularity. Shootings, murders and divorce suits are featured on the front page as the chief happenings among the race, and yet the editorial writers wax indignant when only the criminal side of race news is given in the daily papers. The inconsistency of this procedure does not seem to strike the publishers of these papers and in their hunt for sensations, they are apt to print more than the facts, and those highly colored, in order to give their readers a full measure of horrors. THE ACE has always aimed in its news columns to feature those things that set forth the constructive achievements of the race eschewing more froth and sensation. Crimes have at times to be recorded, as a matter of news, both as a warning and as a deterrent factor. But the setting forth of unsavory details of crimes or scandals has been a feature to be avoided. We believe that the journals of the race have a greater responsibility than the ordinary newspaper, in that they have to set before the public the best side of the progress the race is making, as well as to indicate the ideals toward which it is striving. BUY A LIBERTY BOND. The campaign for the Second Liberty Loan is in full swing and every one who is anxious to do his or her bit toward winning the war, should buy a bond. Fifty dollars or more invested in this way will not only go toward paying the necessary expenses of the war but will be a gilt-edged investment for the owner of the bond. Four per cent interest will be paid every six months and the principal will be as safe as if put in a savings bank. Many individuals and organizations of the race subscribed to the First Listing License and a given number should be recorded to the present issue. Those who are not accepted for active service can do their part by buying a bond. MR. SCOTT'S APPOINTMENT. We are hopeful that the appointment of Emmett J, Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, as one of the three civilian advisors to Secretary Baker of the War Department, is indicative of the adoption of a more liberal and sympathetic policy on the part of the national administration toward its twelve million loyal Negro citizens, and we should like to feel that this act forecasts a broader stand on the race question by high Washington officials. Mr. Scott's duties will be to discuss with Secretary Baker and advise with him on matter affecting the Negro in the present world war, and THE AGE is confident that Mr. Scott will fill his new duties with credit to his country, his race and himself. He possesses tact, balance and ripe experience, all of which will now serve him in good stead. This appointment, we feel certain, grew out of the visit to Washington some weeks ago of Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, on which occasion he had lengthy conferences with President Wilson and Secretary Baker about the Negro. Behind this appointment we also see the powerful influence of Julius Rosenwald, Frank Trumbull, trustees of Tuskegee Institute, and Judge Lovett, who are on intimate terms with the Wilson administration and who are deeply interested in the welfare of the race. Secretary Baker is said to be void of many prejudices which have put some who speak out for a real democracy in an inconsistent position. His refusal to listen to the Vardamans and Tillmans who oppose the mobilization of Negro conscripted men in southern cantonments has created the impression among us that he proposes to give a square deal. With Mr. Scott to advise him as to the proper treatment the Negro should be accorded as a man and a citizen, THE AGE is looking forward to a betterment of conditions for the Negro in the Governmental departments. Secretary Baker will make no mistake in heeding the advice and suggestions made to him by Mr. Scott. WHITE LABOR IN THE SOUTH. The New York American recently voiced the belief that the South has placed too great dependence on Negro labor and that what is needed for the prosperity of that section is a better grade of white labor. It instances the ideal conditions that obtain in the South, such as climate, richness of soil and "charm of people." But there are several items under the last head that it evidently fails to take into account. One of these is the lack of ordinary civilization. There is no civilized order of government in the South. Ruled by an oligarchy or a mob, government in that section gravitates between a state of autocracy or anarchy. This has kept a large class of white immigrants from entering that section and for the same reasons its Negro labor is leaving as fast as it can. What improvement and prosperity the South possesses today is due to Yankee enterprise, and has been made despite the obstacles presented by its native rulers. The statement made by the American that "the South is treating the Negro wonderfully well, educating him and assisting him in his material affairs," is far from the truth. It is the failure not only to do these things, but to pay fair wages and to deal fairly and squarely with Negro labor that has sent it forth hunting a new job. The South has in the Negro the best labor that it can secure. The sooner this fact is recognized and the laborer is given his due in the WORKING GIRLS WITH NEWPORT NOTIONS. Last week in Washington, three white girls in the bureau of engraving and printing went on a strike because colored girls were put to work beside them at a power press. The white girls are reported to have taken their case up with Miss Jeannette Rankin, the Congresswoman from Montana. In turn, Miss Rankin is reported as saying to them that it was a problem for their newly formed union. It is also further reported that in Typographical Temple was held a meeting at which the speakers indicated that the only way to overcome the race problem in the bureau of engraving and printing was for the white women to perfect their union immediately and then oppose the employment of colored women. Also the suggestion was made that efforts be taken to have colored women denied the privilege of civil service examinations. In the first place we want to ask, where do these white women who are working in the bureau of engraving and printing think they are? Have they a sort of hazy notion that they are moving around in some exclusive society salon at Newport or Tuxedo? Are they unable to realize that they are simply poor devils who have to work for a living? In their homes, they can follow Newport social regulations of the most exclusive kind. There, although they may not be able to associate with whom they would like, they can refuse to associate with whom they do not like. But in the place where they have to toil for their bread, they ought to see the absurdity of trying to carry any such distinctions. A society dame is well within her social rights in refusing to entertain or associate with another woman who is a perfect lady but whose father made his money in trade; such a thing frequently happens. But it is to laugh to see one poor working girl refusing to toil by the side of another poor working girl whose face is darker. I would say to these, striking white girls that nature or fate made a great mistake. They should either not have any such ideas in their heads, or they should not be compelled to work for a living. But since they are in the class of poor devils that have to work for a living, I would suggest that they drop their high society hallucinations or continue to give an imitation of them only in their homes. In fact, if they only knew it, they can live a far more interesting, more useful, more human life as members of the great class of poor devils who have to work for a living than they could as members of the class whose chief business in life is picking out the people whom they consider fashionable enough for their associates. No doubt, it would give these striking: white girls a jolt to know that the colored girls working beside them might not care to carry relations outside of the bureau of engraving and printing, and, in some instances, might positively object to carrying them into their homes. But there is a more serious side to this question than the high society hallucinations of these girls. Indications are given that an effort will be made to form a union among the white employees that will not only prevent colored girls from being employed at the bureau of engraving and printing, but which will ultimately succeed in having the privilege of civil service examinations denied to colored women. Let us not start out by saying that it can't be done. Anything against the Negro can be done under this administration. Let us remember, too, that it was in the bureau of engraving and printing that the Southern and unAmerican idea of segregation in the public departments at Washington was started. I was in Washington a few days ago and talked with senators on some matters that vitally concern the race. Several senators said that it was useless to try to have any action taken by the present powers in control at Washington for the direct benefit of the Negro. Already, we are denied fair play under the civil service, and it wouldn't strain the conscience of this Southern regime to deny Negroes the right to take the examinations for any position other than that of laborer. All of which brings us to this: the Negro has arrived at the point of being a national nonentity. There is not a single citizenship right that he can demand. He must beg for everything he gets. Here we are, twelve millions of us, standing hat in hand, begging to be treated as citizens; while three million Jews, who also have bitter prejudice to contend with, demand what they want, and get it. Why is this the condition? It is because we have failed to organize for the protection of our manhood and citizenship rights. We have successfully organized for other purposes, but for these fundamentals on which everything else must rest, we have failed matter of fair treatment, and a just wage, the sooner the South will reap the reward that its material resources warrant. MR. GREGG'S SYMPATHIES, At the meeting of the New York County Republican Committee, held last week, a report credits Mr. Gregg, described as a colored member from an upper Harlem district, as saying, in the course of a rambling speech, "While our sympathies are with the Germans" Whatever Mr. Gregg intended to add in the way of explanation or extenuation seems to have been lost in the uproar that his expression elicited. The speaker evidently had carried his sympathies to the wrong address. His usefulness as a member of the organization would seem to be ended and the best service he can render his constituents would be for him to resign his place and let it be filled by someone possessed of patriotism as well as discretion. This is no time for any American to be mouthing his sympathies with the nation whose acts have brought war to the country at large, and that fact should be realized by all classes of our'citizenship. A PARTING SEND-OFF. As the day is approaching when the selected men of the race from New York will leave for Camp Upton to undergo the requisite training for active service, it would be only appropriate for those remaining home to give them a hearty send-off. These men are going to give the highest proof of devotion required of a citizen, that he should risk his life for his country. Such devotion is deserving of public recognition and the masses of the race should not be backward in according it. Let the demonstration that marks the departure of these recruits, be one that shall make them feel that their response to the call of duty is appreciated at its true value. We have also established a national network. Our churches and our fraternal societies have done and are doing a tremendous work, but we need a nation-wide organization that will embrace all churches and all orders, an organization whose sole aim is the securing and maintaining of the Negro's manhood and citizenship rights. Outside of our churches and fraternal orders, we have only two organizations of nation-wide scope, The National Negro Business League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Business League stands for the economic development of the race. It has passed the experimental stage. It would be folly to start another organization of its kind. The whole race should unite in making it the greatest business congress possible. The League would then become a power for the economic development of the race that cannot be estimated. The Advancement Association forms the necessary complement. It has for its aim the rights of the Negro as a man and a citizen. The Association, though not so old as the League, has also passed the experimental stage. It now has ninety-one branches and nearly ten thousand members. So there is no wisdom in starting other organizations like it; for the strength of such an organization can come only from having a large number of units that can co-operate with each other and all together. But considering the civil and political conditions of the Negro in this country, the Association ought to have five thousand branches and five hundred thousand members. Now do you suppose if the colored people of the United States were bound together in such an organization as that that they would need to beg for their rights? Not at all. They could demand their rights if they had an organization of one thousand units and one hundred thousand members bound together with the same great purposes in mind. Without some such organization, we shall continue for a long time to be a national nonentity and to beg for our rights.

This is evidently an effort on the part of some reporter on the State to be funny; but there are two reasons why the paragraph will not provoke hilarious laughter, no, not even a faint smile: first the joke is so old that it is decrepid; secondly, white people of both Northern and Southern nativity are about as fond of the luscious fruit as anybody else in this country. We advise the State if it wants to be funny on this subject, to look up a new joke; if it wants to be serious on the subject we advise that it counsel the people of the whole community that they treat the colored men with, at least, common decency. --- The following clipping is from a Northern paper.

They are under Lieutenant Colonel Frye, but they have no standing. Though being drilled in foot movements, squad maneuvers, and the school of the soldier, there is no regiment to which they can be assigned. Apparently nothing can be done until the third increment of drafted men arrive, about October 15. This contingent may include enough Negroes to form several companies, but officials here doubt if there will be enough for a regiment. "The eight Negroes can not drill with white soldiers and they can not roam around camp. The amount of drilling that can be done with one squad is limited and the lieutenants assigned to this work soon become bored. They have suggested that the men be sent back home, on furlough to report October 15, but no action has been taken.

A TRAGEDY IN REAL LIFE THE NEW YORK AGE, AN unusual communication has been received at this office from a white woman and prominence who makes her summer home at Cos Cob, Conn., its students bringing to mind the great movie drama—"The Pride of Race" in which Robert Hilliard starred in few seasons ago. There are many striking points of similarity between the main theme of the play and the facts set forth in the letter, which follows: Cos Cob, Conn., Oct. 5, 1817. To the Editor of The New York Age. I wish to find a good home for a colored baby. Will you be good enough to give me a free insertion of the enclosed ad that it may reach the notice of some well-to-do enclosed family. Perhaps you will get mind putting a little story in about it, as it is one of the tragedies of your race. The mother of the baby is white, the father almost so. The mother belongs the baby but feels it must be brought up with the colored goes to avoid future unhappiness for him; so she is willing to give him up. Mr. — thought you would be willing to accord this mercy. The author of the foregoing is the wife of one of the best known and most influential business men in New York. She is a woman of intelligence and culture and the contents of her communication show that she has a sympathetic interest in the colored American. On other occasions she has manifested a kind attitude toward the Negro's welcome. And yet, despite this good woman's intentions on the race question, which are of the best, she prone to harbor some peculiar news as her letter will show. "It is one of the tragedies of your race," she writes, unconsciously absolving the white race of all shame or responsibility and saddling on the Negro the onus of bringing this world a child of mixed heritage. But if the baby's mother is a white woman and its father is a white, why should its birth be termed "a tragedy of the Negro race?" The white race, it would seem, should be a co-partner in the tragedy" at least. Mathematical calculations seldom figure in the determining of who is who and what is what regarding racial matters. There is such thing as ratio and proportion. The child whose mother is white and whose father possesses merely a "taint" of Negro blood is judged a Negro. This American method of equation is steadily piling up a large colored population which is bound to awaken white Americans to a stern realization of their inconsistent manner of reckoning the years to be. No wonder there are three times more colored people than white on the earth today. What will the ratio be one hundred years from now? Here is another sentence in the letter which is worthy of mature consideration: "The mother idolizes the baby but feels it must be brought up with the colored race to avoid unhappiness for him." This argument upsets the universal idea that a child is happiest with its mother. In a case like this should a mother cater to the unnatural sentiment of race prejudice and gender to national prejudices or follow the dictates of her heart, the promptings of nature's laws and personally care for her offspring? The mother of the colored baby in Connecticut is of a more noble specimen of womanhood than the one portrayed in "The Pride of Race," even though she is disposed to give up the child. In the play the mother proved to be lower than death beasts, for she refused to have anything to do with her baby her own flesh and blood. The mother of white and black chickens has the same love for all, regardless of color, and the same conditions obtain with dogs, cows, cats and other animals. The comparison does not picture the Caucasian (BY LESTER A. WALTON) mother as a humane creature who always loves her own and will lay down her life for them if necessary. Now, whose attitude toward the offspring is the more natural—that of the Caucasian mother or the mother who is a dumb beast? There is but one answer, which is perfectly obvious to any fair-minded person. Being born white or colored is merely an accident, the same as being brought into the world a cripple or blind. But "colorphobia" has so diseased the minds of many white Americans that they have hallucinations on the subject which border on insanity. If God did not intend that there be a mixing of races there would be no such thing as miscegenation. Man-made laws pale into insignificance when they clash with nature's laws, and whenever you hear alarmists and politicians stirring up excitement against miscegenation just put it down that the spectre of retribution is haunting them. I am, not discussing the subject of miscegenation from a personal point of view, nor am I advocating mixed marriages. I am only endeavoring to present plain, unvarnished facts on the subject, void of a beclouded mind and narrowness of vision. The birth of the baby at Cos Col Conn, whose mother is white and father is near white, is made a tragedy, not because it is of mixed parentage, but because of the unnaturalness of conditions existing in America. A mother is a mother he her children white or black, and when public sentiment is such that a mother who, idolizes her child feels that she ought to tear it from her heart and give it to strangers, believing that it will be happier away from her than with her, there is something radically wrong somewhere. This case is a tragedy, but a tragedy of the white race as well as the colored race. Both should share the responsibility. MUSIC SCHOOL OPENS ITS SESSION.

Reuter, of the Chicago University, recently contributed a most interesting article to The American Journal of Sociology on "The Superiority of the Mulatto," in which he showed the mulatto is gaming ground. A further study of the mulatto, with particular reference to his gaming ground numerically, rather than mentally, as treated by Professor Reuter, develops a correlative subject—"Absorption of the Negro." A close student of the racial problem is cognizant of that the recent heavy migration of Southern Negroes to the North has not only stimulated an erasible slow closing racial prejudice in the North, it also prepares the way for a more rapid assimilation of the Negro in this country. Were it not for the Negro's authority the time of his extinction might be prophesied with reasonable activity and his passing paralleled with the passing of the American Indian, so high is his death rate in the cities to which the present abnormal excess is taking him. The American Indian's future is no longer a serious problem, and has not been for several decades, because of his extinction probable by a very high death rate. This cannot be said of the Negro for even in those cities where congestion makes for a high death rate his birth rate is very considerably higher than his death rate, and very considerably higher than the white birth rate. In rural districts the Negro's birth rate is still normal, which is very much higher than the white rural birth rate, while his death rate is not at all alarming. For every seven deaths among Negroes there are ten births. The larger per centage of the white birth rate has been borne by our white immigrants, and the heavy immigration of foreigners each year, prior to the war, favored by encouraging immigration laws, assisted very greatly to assure continued white supremacy in the United states. With the new immigration law, recent, enacted by Congress, acting as a bar to the heavy immigration which characterized previous years; with conditions which must prevail in foreign countries, after the war, because of a scarcity of able-bodied men for their rebuilding, and with northern cities especially taking steps to conserve the health of the Negro for the protection of the whites, white supremacy in this country, unless there is a pronounced resamence of the Roosevelt propaganda against race suicide, may possibly at no far distant day become more than an academic discussion. Absorption is unlikely to solve the Negro problem in this country in the very near future; nevertheless absorption is playing a far greater part in the possible solution of the problem than is generally suspected. A close student of the race problem is aware that each generation of inhalants more nearly approach the complexion which makes possible their crossing the boundary line and becoming, unchartered by their color, lost among the dominant race. The close student of this racial problem, and of the evolution of the Negro knows what a very appreciable percentage of Negroes, collated as mulatto by the Census Bureau, are today "passing" occasionally or permanently as white, and enjoying the resultant unrestricted rights and privileges enjoyed by pure whites. They occupy, undiscovered, choice seats in theaters, whose practice is to segregate the race in the balcony or gallery, or exclude them altogether, they dine at fashionable cafes whose practice is not to serve Negroes, and they become guests at hotels whose rule is to refuse accommodations for Negroes Even in the South where the ability, on the part of the whites, to distinguish between "pure white" and very fair complexioned Negroes is much greater than in the North, they frequently ride in security in coaches reserved for whites alone; dine at cafes exclusively for high-born Southern whites; and rest on down beds in exclusively white hotels from Cincinnati to Galveston. It is frequently utter impossible to detect their racial identification. And be remembered, the slightest trace of Negro blood always outweighs the heavy preponderance of white blood in fixing a mixed blood's racial assignment. In spite of the fact that absorption is frequent to this country's preconceived ideas respecting racial purity, absorption is gradually, though unsuspected, performing its function, and assisting to a possible solution of the Negro problem in the United States There are 800,000 blacks in this country as against 200,000 mulatos. Without a recognized and honored propaganda in favor of absorption, at the rate black is being evolved into mulatto and mulatto crystallized into white, it will take many generations for the whites to absorb the Negro in this country. During the last decade the per cent increase of whites in this country was 22.3, that of the Negro, 11.2. The increase of foreign born whites for the same period was 30.7 per cent greater than the increase of native whites. When it is considered that the 22.3 per cent increase of our white population was made possible by the coming of millions of European immigrants it will be observed that the per cent increase of our Negro population, due exclusively to birth, is relatively greater than that of native whites. Take the per cent increase of mulattoes during the last decade as a criterion to go by, in the next fifty years the mulatto population in this country will equal that of the blacks. During the same period, fifty years, by absorption, 17 per cent of those who are physically mulattoes will have lost themselves among the whites. In 190 mulattoes will SUPERIOR TO COPAIBA & INJECTION SANTAL MIDY RELIEVES IN 24 HOURS form, 26.6 per cent, of the total. Negro population of this country; in 1900, 32.3 per cent; in 1940, 38.1 per cent; in 1950, 39.3 per cent; in 1960, 40.6 per cent; in 170, 55.1 per cent; in 188, 60.8 per cent; in 1900, 60.5 per cent; in 2000, 72.2 per cent; in 2010, 77.9 per cent, and in 020, 8.6 per cent. During the next one hundred years that will evolve the present minority mulatto population into a majority (830 per cent) of the total Negro population the absorption of mulattos by the whites will be steadily going on. Permit the present unnoticed, unrealized rate of absorption to continue, and two centuries hence there will be no Negro problem in this country for the pure black Negro will have evolved into a near-white, the Census Bureau will have only to deal with native born and foreign born, and this frightfully exterminating world war will have reduced the "foreign born" to a practically negative quantity in the United States. At the rate black is being evolved into mulatto and mulatto into white, the next one hundred years will record an alarmingly small number of pure whites in this country, and the succeeding one hundred years, due to the evolution of the mulatto, will witness the passing, in the United States, of the "pure white" race There have been two distinct crises reached and successfully passed by the Negro in this country. The first was the Civil War, when in the success or failure of the Union army depended his future freedom or slavery; the second was when on the adoption or rejection of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution depended his citizen rights. He is now approaching his third, most crucial, and possibly forever deciding crisis—an economic crisis. If the million Negroes who will have comes to the North by the close of this war fail to prove themselves a dependable and efficient economic factor in the North every sociological student forsees that the Negro will all but meet his Walter-Joo, just the North may fully share the South's preconceived ideas respecting the race, which the South is industriously, though subtly, liaising to bring about. If the Negro shall have given evidence of making good as an economic factor when the war shall have terminated, with absorption doing its bit, then he can hopefully look forward to a New Filibertado to an enslaved person in a country in which tor 8 years he was a slave, and tor 100 years thereafter a perplexing debatable problem. EFFORTS TO STOP THE MIGRATION NORTH GREENLAND, N.C.—The whites in this part of the state are appealing to the colored ministers to help stop the migration of this race northward. On the other hand the Southern Railway Company is trying more drastic remedies in that they are cooperating with certain business interests along their lines to lessen the migration or prevent it altogether, by not furnishing transportation to such travelers. There are reasons to suspect, however, that the railroad company and their coworkers in this scheme are counting "without their host." For it will be almost impossible to stem the tide of his hegia by such unlawful discrimination, as is alleged against the Southern Railway, as it would be to stop the invasion of the boll weevil. The Negroes would walk away if they were prevented from riding in the cars, before they would submit to such injustice. The following are the resolutions of the local colored ministerial union on the subject "Whereas, large numbers of our people are leaving the South and going to the North to obtain economic advantages, political freedom, better educational facilities, and to enjoy the right of personal security, and "Whereas the majority of the people though silent, are yet sensitive of wrong inflicted and of rights denied, and "Whereas the Negro ministers are being called upon to use their efforts in punishing an end to this hegira from the South. "Be it Resolved, (1) That we call on the white race to aid in this work by paying our people a living wage, safeguarding their franchise and citizenship rights, and by giving to them larger educational opportunities; (2) That we feel that the Southern Railway company should cease to aggravate the situation in denying Negroes transportation over its lines, contrary to existing laws, (3) That it is the sense of this body that when the proper equilibrium has been restored, this migration will discontinue, as many of the people are put to the unpleasant task of breaking up homes, and of disposing of property; (4) That we shall do all within our power, within the bounds of fairness to check the growing dissatisfaction and to induce our people to remain in this fair southland, where Heaven hath scattered blessing with a wasteful hand." The resolutions of these colored ministers it seems wake up a white correspondent in the western part of the State and he makes an attempt to express his sentiments in the following eulogy printed in the Daily News. "I note in your paper of recent date the article concerning the Negro ministers' appeal to the whites; of the hegira of their race pushing father northward, of the criticisms concerning the Southern railroad, of 'a living wage' to be paid to the Negro, of their rights of citizenship, and giving to them better educational facilities." "In the first place let it be known to all men that the south does not want the Negroes who do not want the south. In the second place, the whites of the south will under no conditions beg the hegiras to remain here or will they under any existing circumstances, however unpleasant it may be for the Negroes who have migrated, issue 'expenditures for their return. No, for heaven's sake and in the name of civilization, let them stay. "They spoke of the unjust discrimination engendered upon them by the Southern railroad yet they named no specific complaint. They should be more explicit. Is it that they want to sit with the whites, participate with them in the dining car and sleeper? If so, their prayer will never be answered. The south won't have it and furthermore let it be understood that should the Southern railroad permit it their fate can easily be seen. Business is business. "Not until the Negro gets enough initiative about him to pay his taxes and co- operate with his own kind will better school facilities be secured. Not until a negro is capable of being an intelligent voter and citizen, is he to enjoy the rights of citizenship." URBAN LEAGUE TO HELP MIGRATION PEOPLEM 1 Hollingsworth Wood, chairman of the National League on Urban Conditions. Among Negroes, 2303 Seventh Avenue, announces that plans have been made to get in touch with the mayors and responsible citizens of all industrial centers throughout the North where serious problems in civic and industrial life had been created by the arrival of thoughtful or untrrained Negroes from the South. The purpose is to effect organizations, which will forestall repeations in other cities of the recent mob outrages in East Louis, Ill. "Daring the last year," said Mr. Wood. "Some 350,000 Negroes have thicked to northern industrial centres, and then and more are coming each week. At first the migrants came at the direct request of certain large employees of labor, who had jobs ready waiting for the newcomers. Since then the report has spread throughout the south that there is plenty of work at high pay in the North, and thousands of untrained men and women unused to city ways have drifted into our industrial centres with no idea of, how to seek work or of how to take care of themselves in their new surroundings. They have been an easy prey for the unserubulous, and have been forced in many cities into conditions which are a positive danger to the community in health and morality. The National Urban League, which is organized in eighteen cities North and South, is doing its utmost to turn this raw, ignorant labor from a possible danger into a civic and industrial asset. It is eager to aid other cities to meet their problems in a constructive way, so it comes to its work in dependent entirely upon the cooperation of the best white and colored elements in the communities as well as upon the financial support of its contributors. Letters are being sent to the mayor and responsible citizens of the many cities affected by the migration asking them to organize for construction, work and outwing a program based upon the current crisis. Lugens K. Jones is executive secretary at the New York headquarters of the league. Among the members of the executive committee are Robert R. Moat and Mrs. Booke: I. Washington, of Tuskegee; John T.

GEORGIANS PETITION FOR STATE MILITIA (Special to The New York Am) ATLANTA, GA.—An effort is being put forth to have the law disbanding the colored volunteer militia of the State repealed. A petition has been presented to the Government and Legislature to that effect signed by such known citizens as Dr. H. R. Butler, Col H.A. Rucker, Harry H. Pace, Dr. C. T. Walker, John F. Dugas, Judson W. Lyons of Ancesta, and many others. Among the reasons cited in behalf of the right to bear arms are the following: Because it is the duty and Constitutional right of every male citizen to bear arms in the defense of his state and nation, with the law referred to, still on the records of the State, we are believe, still deprived of that legal right. Because we love our state and are anxious for it to stand at the top in all things great grand, just and right; and we want to do our part in lifting her to the top and keep her there whether it be in war or in peace. Because the state of Illinois has its famous colored 5th Regiment of worldwide fame composed entirely of men of the race, and the state of Illinois is justly proud of them. The colored men of Georgia can do as much for Georgia. Because the state of New York has its famous 15th Regiment, composed entirely of colored men, and which was the first of the states' military organizations to reach the war footing of the regular army and report for duty. The state of New York is justly proud of her noble 15th and the colored men of Georgia can do as well for Georgia as the colored men of New York and they can make their state equally as proud of them; only give them the same chance in Georgia that our brothers have in New York A TEMPERANCE WORKER'S TRAVELS Texarkana, Texas - Mrs. Eliza E.

The Hope Day Nursery will start its $10,000 campaign on October 15 which will end December 1 The following appeal is made by the officers of the nursery: The Hope Day Nursery cares for the babies of mothers who must work to support their families. Any money given to Hope Day Nursery is a 100 per cent investment for these children are the hope of the race—our future men and women. The need: Because Harlem property valuations have greatly decreased, the mortgage has agreed to take $4,500 cash for the $6,000 mortgage now on the Hope Day Nursery property located at 33 West 133rd street, thereby saving the Nursery $1,500. To cancel all fire violations filed against the nursery by the Bureau of Buildings, including fire escapes, will cost $7,000. We need $3,500 as a nucleus for an endowment fund for the nursery. 35 babies are cared for daily at the nursery. With butter at 50 cents a pound, eggs at 60 cents a dozen, bread at 16 cents a loaf and milk at 14 cents a quart, you can readily see what a struggle it must be for the board of managers to properly care for this number of children on voluntary contributions. The mortgage money must be raised by December 1, 1817. Make a sapphire and be generous. An authorized collector will give you a receipt for every donation, however small. A list of donations will be published in the newspaper. Make checks payable to Hope Day Nursery. Y. M. C. A. NOTES "The Negro as a Soldier" will be the subject of Capt. Charles W.
