Mayor Mitchel Applauded By Delegation of Negroes When He Comes Out Against Segregation Mayor Mitchel engaged in a heart-to-heart talk with a delegation of representative Negroes at the City Hall last Saturday morning, on which occasion the chief executive answered several pertinent questions put to him and also voluntarily gave some views on the race question. Segregation was among the things denounced by the Mayor, who was applauded when he said: THE CLEAN, GODLY BECOME A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IN US ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOME. VOL XXXI No. 4 Mayor Mitchel engaged in a he tion of representative Negroes at the ing, on which occasion the chief ex- ent questions put to him and also o the race question. Segregation wa by the Mayor, who was applauded w "If it is intended to establish a bath peculiarly for the colored people of that part of Harlem then it recog- nizes a certain principle of segrega- tion that I don't believe in. But if you simply mean a public bath to be loca- ted there which shall be general and you want it and you will start the re right movement for it. * * * I g will be glad to help you." The delegation was headed by Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, who, after a short talk in which he informed Mayor Mitchel that some dissatisfaction existed among some colored citizens who believed that the Negro might have been more generously treated during the present local administration, read the following questions: Why has the colored section of Harlem not an open playground or a public playground? Why has the Mayor not responded to invitations extended by colored presachers, etc., rather than by a representative? Why was only one appointment exempt made during his administration? The treatment by the police? Birthplace of your parents? Mayor Mitchel was frank in his talk and made a favorable impression by not making an attempt to dodge responsibility for any of his shortcomings. He confessed that more could have been made to dodge offenses and expressed the hope of being able to give them more kindly consideration in the grent of his re-election. Mayor Answers Questions. In answering the questions Mayor Richard said in part: "Well, gentlemen of the committee, I agree with your chairman about the record of the men of the colored race in this country in the support of government in all of our wars. I happen to know something of what is being done at this moment, because when the Governor undertook the organization of a colored regiment in the National Guard and placed Colonel Hayward at its head, he came to me to ask the assistance of the city in furnishing quarters and equipment and spaces in which, after they were organized, to conduct the work, I should have had a very material and active cooperation from the city government, as he would tell you. "I know something of the regiment that he has organized, of the character of the material that is in it, and of the work that they have been capable of doing, and I suppose I am merely expressing your wish—I know I am expressing the wish of Colonel Hayward. I hope your agreement will send that regiment with the rest of the National Guard of the State when they go across to take their places with the American troops on the battlefront of Europe, and I haven't any doubt that the regiment will give the same report of itself that other colored regiments have given in the service of the United States whenever they have gone into battle, not forgetting what was done in Cuba not many years ago. "Troublesome," "Why has the colored" section of Halten not an open playground or a public bath?" Has any petition ever been brought to me for the establishment of a playground in Harlem? Usually these public improvements, local, are initiated by resolution of the local board or on a petition of property owners. I have no resolution on of ever receiving a petition. If you people will initiate a petition for the establishment of a playground and show a real desire and movement on the part of the people of that district I will try to help you to get a playground. Playgrounds are hard things for the city to furnish in these days, because they involve the purchase of tracts of land and a very considerable expenditure of money. But a precedent has been set in locally assessing part of the city to establish playgrounds, particulari in these days when the entire cost of the improvement goes into the budget. So that if you will initiate your movement in that section and bring that movement to me I will be in a position to my aid in establishing a playground while perhaps if you had an unconstrained government, a government supermen who could read the notice in all parts of the city without told about them, we might have known that, that we have known about you and been active in an effort to secure you a playground there. But you must remember that we are just human beings and these things must be brought actively to our attention to enlist our effort. As to the future, to enlist this playground you must and I will help it. Favors a Bath in Harlem. mate table—that is where those things come to me or any request proffered to me as Mayor for the establishment of the bath. It occurs to me that as this is put, if it is intended to establish a bath peculiarly for the colored people of that part of Harlem, then it recognizes a certain principle of segregation that I don't believe in. (Applause.) But if you simply mean a bath be located there which shall be general, you will start the movement for it, and we can fit it to the general requirements of the city in view of the general financial ability of the city to carry improvements I will be glad to help you. And let me point out, frequently improvements of this kind must be under consideration for a considerable time before they reach the top of the list in order of importance. The sooner you get started the sooner you are likely to get to the top of the line, get the improvement and the appropriation of money. Why has the Mayor not responded to invitations extended by colored preachers, etc., rather than by a representative? "My recollection was that I had an opportunity to respond to one at least such invitation. I may be wrong because this is from memory covering four years. There haven't been many invitations gentlemen, but just as I have been compelled to address and classify him all together and classes in the community when I have conflicted engagements, I have had on two or three occasions, when I have had invitations from colored preachers or colored assemblages, engagements made prior to the receipt of those invitations, I have sometimes had to keep these off my desk and in the city to being related to the conduct of public business. If you will give me notice and let me know in advance, I don't think you will find any disposition on may part not to accept invitations to meet the colored citizens of the city. "I am just as anxious to meet them and to discuss the public affairs of New York with them as am interested in any issues in the city to discuss his affairs. There is no distinction in the citizenship of any man under our laws and under our institutions; and the Mayor of the City not only ought to be but is, in my person, prepared and glad to discuss with you or with anybody else in New York as well on an equal basis any question that relates to the government of this city. In order to meet and give me a little notice, give me some latitude perhaps in choosing a date, you will find me very ready to come. In Matter of Appointments. "Appointments. Why was only one appointment exempt, made during this administration? "I believe that you are correct that only one appointment to an exempt place was—that was to the School for. Gentlemen, let me emphasize for a moment, before discussing the others, that appointment. There isn't anything that touches the lives and the future of the people of the city more directly than public education. There isn't any activity of government which is more important for every element and group in the citizenship to have active voice than in the administration of public education. "Administration had succeeded administration in this city without any recognition in educational affairs directly to the colored people of the city by representation in the board except once. Since that time there have been none, and recognition in that anxious to give representation in that capacity and I represented in doing so. I think I did it very much to the credit of the colored people, in view of the representative that they have there. (Applause.) "Now as to the others: I had planned and hoped to find an opportunity to make other appointments. Mr. Anderson knows that for a long time we tried to work out—we wanted to offer Mr. Anderson an appointment in this administration. The opportunity did not develop although I thought it had at one time. I had not the ambition of giving further representation to the colored people in exempt appointments. I can make specific promises for two reasons—in the first place, I don't know exactly where the opportunity will develop. I am confident that it may be made to develop, the second place, it is improper and a breach of the law to make a specific promise of appointment. "But let me remind you, gentlemen, that during this administration—in the first place, the great mass of public offices are under the civil service law, where appointments must be followed, as far as applicable, and compatible with public service, the principle of appointment from the first place on the list, and pursuant to that several appointments have been made to the Police Department, as I am informed, and one I know, one was made in the Fire Department. The reason more have not been made is due to the fact that more men have not 'been on the list' if the men are on the list. If they are number one on the list I insist that they be taken, so that it depends on the individual capacity of the applicants in Civil Service examination and their ability to pass the examination high enough to get first place on the list. "And, furthermore, don't go away with the impression that in these days Civil Service examinations are rigged. If there is one thing we believe we have accomplished, it is a cleaning out of the Civil Service any suggestion of favoritism. In one case where I discovered that an examination had not been fair and that questions had reached in advance the men who were going to be fired in one of the grades of the Police Department, I directed an investigation and on the basis of that investigation ordered a new examination. We have striven constantly to put an end to favoritism in the Civil Service, so that it is up to the man himself when he goes for examination to get first place on the list. In short, and to sum up, it has been my purpose and intention to get examination to get first place on the city by recognition, by appointment, and I trust that in the future I can do better than I have in the past in that respect. Treatment by the Police. "Well, gentlemen, I don't just know what that is intended to suggest, but my impression has been that the treatment of all sections of the community by the police under this administration has been vastly better than it ever was before. If you throw your minds back to the past, it is time it was necessary for a Mayoe of this city to write and speak very cautiously on the subject of clubbing. When I came in four years ago I re-emphasized what, Mayor Gaynor, had said concerning the use of clubs on the people of the city, pointing out the differing attitudes of the revolver on a citizen who is breaching one of the minor ordinances of the city, who is merely guilty of disorderly conduct or of some of the petty offenses, and the use of a club or a revolver on a man who is threatening the life of the officer or committing a felony by violence. It has been that the police have observed those rules and principles well during this administration, and that there has been far less of brutal treatment of citizens by members of the uniformed force of the department or of the ununiformed force than there ever has been before. If you, gentlemen, have brought to your attention at any time the need to regard the treatment of colored people by members of the police department you have representatives whom you can send down to give.me the facts and I will deal with those facts. This is said to you not as colorel people, but as citizens of New York, (applause) because I should say exactly the same thing to any group of people who come to me and complained that the treatment on the part of the police had been unfair or harsh or brutal. "I do not know that you do tell me that it is so; but that is now what is suggested, I asked you for specification. I tell you that we will deal with it. The police Commissioner, Wood, will advise the police of the city have courteous and decent treatment at the hands of the police while he maintains a strong force, while he proposes to preserve order and peace and protect the lives and persons and property of the citizens of the city, he knows that anybody shall receive brutal treatment at the hands of his men. So, gentlemen, you will find active cooperation from the Mayor and the Police Commissioner. If you find such conditions and you will report them to me, or to Arthur Wood, you don't have to argue with the Police Commissioner, but if you want to give them to me, I will send them to him. Birthplace of Parenta. "My father was born in Newry, Ireland, my mother on Staten Island. I suppose that this question was suggested because of a story that was going around that my father had lived in the south and owned slaves, etc. Now let me tell you the truth. My father was not born in the south, nor did he, or any member of the family, as far as I have ever heard, in fact, I know, own any property in the future (Appear in My Father, together with his brothers, and his father's father having been, as you may recollect, because of leading a revolutionary movement in Ireland in 1848, been convicted of treason by the British Government under a specially constructed act and was transported to Australia, from which he escaped and came to the United States. They settled in Kentucky, and at the outbreak of the war were in Virginia, and they took part with the Confederacy in the war. That probably is the origin of the South and that they owned slaves, but I don't think that in these days it is to be regarded as a crime to have lived (Continued on page 12) Fifteenth Regiment May Soon See Active Service in France CARNEGIE HALL MONDAY EVENING OCTOBER 20th, 1917 Violin Solo, ILLUMINATO MISERANDINA (late of Italy).

SUFFRAGISTS GIVE $10,000 Announcement was made this week by Mrs. F. Louis Slade, chairman of the War Service Committee, of the New York City Woman Suffrage Party, that $16,000 had been donated by the committee for a Y. M. G. A. Unit at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. N. for the use of colored troops. The registrars were offered their choice of one eleven Y. M. A. units in the camp when their dedication was made. For colored troops, believing that they would enjoy making life pleasant for colored soldiers. The Y. M. C. A. is making a strong appeal to women as it introduces military living. At the university is the men through games books, moving pictures and all kinds of entertainments, and secretaries look out for their physical health. The Office of the University Committee of the New York City Suffrage Party has already given $100- (Special to The New York Acq.) (Special to The New York Age) Camp Wadsworth, S. C.—The opinion prevails here that the New York Fifteenth Infanty, which has been in camp a little over a week, will soon embark forrance. Members of the regiment are now appearing on the drill field shod in the latest thing in trench shoes, and from that fact, combined with two or three others, has grown the report that the colored troopers are soon to see service abroad. Many members of the Fifteenth have never been south of Washington and are getting their first taste of Southern prejudice. They have been barred from street car competitions and through capacitement white poors are denouncing their prejudice. Colonel Hayward had a heart-to-heart talk with his men short after arrival, and from a shower barricot he addressed them as follows: You are camped in a smaller battle to colored people. New York Infantry were sent to Fort Des Moines, Iowa, to be trained for future officers in the U. S. Reserve. Eight of these young men have been successful. William L. Gee and Edward P. Rudd received the highest honors being appointed First Lieutenant. Dr. Joseph Myers was commissioned First Lieutenant in the Dental Corps. Ira L. Aldridge, Robert Fearing, Henry Basil; George E. Brown and James Bulluck were appointed Second Lieutenants. Other successful New York men were Oscar William, Second Lieutenant and Benny Wright, Second Lieutenant. All have been given a two weeks' furough and orders to report to Camp Upton, L. I., in November. TENTH BUYS LIBERTY (Special to The New York Aug.) of the Tenth U. S. Cavalry and Quartermaster Corps, stationed at Ft. Huachuca, have purchased Liberty Bonds amounting to $47,400. This amount will be increased when the First Squadron of the regiment, stationed at Nogales, Ariz. is heard from, the Army's headquarters of the requment buying bonds to date are Quartermaster corps, $2,600; hospital corps, $1,600; headquarters troop, $4,000; supply troop, $2,750, M.

Out of 601 men in the two squadrons 5.36 subscribed, or 77.6 per cent of the entire number. SILENT PROTEST PARADE HELD IN PROVIDENCE (Special to THE NEW YORK AQB) PROVIDENCE; R L.-The Negro Silent Protest Parade held on Sunday was the grandest and most inspiring scene in the history of Rhode Island. Fully 1,800 participated and delegations from Newport, Boston and many New England cities joined in with the Providence parade. The marcher moved accorded every courtesy by the large thrones of white people. Many appropriate banners spoke in volumes. The press spoke in words of high commendation of the parade. The marshal was B. T. Montgomery and the assistant marshall Mrs A. J. Evans of Attleboro, Mass. 000 for the Y. M. C. A. unit at the Plattsburg Camp. There are no colored women on the War Service Committee, but colored suffragists affiliated with the party are highly pleased over the gift made to the men of their race, which came as an agreeable surprise. K. Lewis, a colored vice leader in the Suffragist Party, speaking of the unit said: "The groups of colored suffragists working in the 19th, 19th, and 20th Assembly Districts are gratified to find that the Woman Suffrage Party lives up to its verbal declarations of democracy. Here is a case where it is treating white men and colored men alike, working for the comfort and well being of both. I hope that when the colored soldiers see the little brass plate that he put on the belt bearing the writings "The Gift of the New York City Woman Suffrage Party," they will realize that women who ask for justice and fair play for their sex are willing to help the members of the race that are struggling to secure these things." pending on you to act like the good soldiers you have always been and break the ice in this country for your entire race. We are about to win the regiment's greatest victory. It is to promise not to into town until Monday and then only with permits from me. I want you to stay away from places where you are not wanted. You must keep your temper if you hear the word "nigger" and bring your troubles to hour of the day or night. It will be hard, but I want your promise. The Colonel was pleased to the echo after he had concluded his talk and he was assured that there would be no serious outbreak. Colonel Hayward and officials of the War Department have decided to keep members of the Fifteenth out of certain zones. The workers in the mills have been decidedly hostile to the Nazi colored troopers will not be permitted in the section. So far the men have been added to the "Jim Crow" laws with admiration and restraint. session of the Church Workers Among Colored People (Protestant Episcopal) came to an end at St. Mary's Episcopal Church last Friday night, following an eventful session. The next session will be held at St. Augustine's School, Kaleigh, N. C. The entertainment of the visiting ministers and laymen was divided between St. Mary's Church and St James' Parish. Among the many topics discussed was that of the recent migration northward of large numbers of colored people. The Rev Edmund H. Oxley of Cincinnati was appointed chairman of a committee to study the needs of the immigrants. The Woman's Auxiliary held its annual meeting Friday. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: The Rev. Samuel W. Grace, Petersburg, Va., president; the Rev George E. Miller, Brooklyn, N. J., vice-president; the Rev George F. Bragg, Baltimore, secretary; Archie Nicholson, Philadelphia, treasurer, and the Rev Emmett E. Miller, Petersburg, Va., necrologist. The woman's auxiliary elected the following officers: Miss Esther Varick New York City, president; Mrs. Helen Philadelphia, recording secretary; Mrs. Kate Johnson, Camden, N. J., corresponding secretary, and Mrs Dorey, Brooklyn, N. Y., treasurer. The Rev Hutchens C. Bishop, F. R. Daniels and George Frazier Miller were among the ministers present from New York City. STOKES DECISIONS TO BE HAMPTON'S HEAD New York Jack New Haven Jack New Haven University New Haven University, secretary of Yale University, has declined the call to become the principal of Hampton Institute, succeeding the late Dr. Frissell, it was announced here Tuesday by ex-President William H Taft as chairman of the board of trustees. In a letter to Mr. Taft Secretary Stokes said that the opportunity to advance the interests of the colored people and contribute something to the solution of the race problem appealed to him, and he said he will be his duty and privilege to continue to deepen his strength, at least during the remainder of President Hadley's administration, to the building up of a great national university at Yale. BOTH RACES GREET MOTON AT MOBILE BOTH RACES GREET MOTON AT MOBILE (Special to The New York Aur.) MOBILE, ALA—Race pride, economy, cooperation, food conservation and the observance of law were among the subjects discussed by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, at the Mobile County Colored Fair Saturday at Dixie Park to a representative audience of white and colored citizens. Mr. Moton was warmly welcomed by Mayor Patrick J. Lyons, who said among other things: "To my lot falls the honor and pleasure of welcoming Mobile Dr. R. R. Moton, who appears before you as the successor, and I know a worthy successor, to the late Dr. Washington, for so long the distinguished leader of his race. "During my twenty years of public life in Mobile there has existed a high degree of harmony and cooperation between the races. During that time I have never heard of a clash or even the prospect of a clash between the races. I never shall forget the meeting of colored citizens of this city held in Bienville Square at the beginning of the recent Red Cross campaign. It was one of the most orderly, well conducted and in some respects the most remarkable meeting that it has ever been my privilege to witness, and it was an object lesson in what can be accomplished by cooperation and team-work under intelligent direction." Mayor Lyons was followed by Prof. S. S. Murphy, superintendent of public schools of Mobile, who welcomed Mr. Moton on behalf of the school commissioners. Dr. Moton was introduced by Dr. E. T. Belsaw. Negro Should Belleve in Himself. Dr. Moton said in part: "I am very glad to have the opportunity to visit beautiful city of Mobile and I wish to thank Dr. Belsaw, Mr. Whitley, C. W. Allen and Dr. Henry Roger Williams, also the Chamber of Commerce and the other white friends who have cooperated with the colored people in making this fair success. This is truly a beautiful city, but something that has been missed is the power that the colored people unleashed on the state of the bama, has been the spirit of unselfish cooperation and actual helpfulness which I find existing between the white and colored people. It is very pleasing to me to see so many beautiful homes, owned by members of my race, the beautiful front yards and growing flowers and clean, sanitary backyards with home and industry among colored people, but also kindly feeling on the part of white citizens. There are two or three things which I wish to emphasize briefly to the members of my own race, and the first is that we must cultivate a stronger beaten in the part of the colored people in their community. Sometimes the Negro in America is one of the very few races that is lacking in respect and appreciation of his own race. That is we appear to lack race pride. Now, my friends, ho race can hope to gain the respect and confidence of other races until it believes in and respects itself. We must develop the skills of nations as well as of races. If you believe your race can succeed, you can impress others with that belief and that thought will inspire in you and develop in the races or individuals pride in one's own self does not lessen the respect of other races or individuals. We other races must respect the respect which we have for others and help to round out an unselfish character. "I wish to urge upon you the necessity of saving a part of what you earn. A race of spendthrifts cannot hope to have a frugal race of people. We will take advantage of the very successful Negroes in this city; those who earn and those who have something of what they earn, out there is also a number of us who earn and save nothing. I am not urging the saving of money for the money sake sorely, but I am developing character in the individual and gains respect from other individuals also." "The war in which our nation is enraged is hastening a better understanding between the races and the doctrine of white power with Booker- Washington in breach for five years throughout the north and south, be fore blue and white people, is now bearing fruit in its spirit of sympathetic cooperation between the races. Sometimes people who do not know the race are being treated as a waste of time and energy. The black man was loyal as a slave, local when his masters went to the front, and had left him in charge of all that was dear and sacred to them; he was at San Juan Hill, at Caracol, and he was loyal in the trenches of France." Wounded Man Now a Patient at the St. John's Hospital in Serious Condition—Officials of Long Island Railroad Demand that Lawless Soldiers be Severely Punished. Colored and white citizens alike are demanding that the Alabama soldiers who brutally assaulted Charles, Farrar, a cripple, 52 years old, in the Long Island Station, Friday evening of last week, be severely united. The officials of the Long Island Railroad have presented the facts to the army officials at Mincolm, and demand an investigation. The wounded man is a patient in the St. John's Hospital in a serious condition and may lose the sight of both eyes. Farrar, who has been employed as a porter by the marine department of the Long Island Railroad for 20 years, was set upon by the soldiers on Friday night at the Borden avenue station of the railroad and bayonetted in the face. The surgeons at St. John's Hospital operated on him in an attempt to save his left eye which was injured. The right eye was entirely dissected and soldier porter, colored, accompanied. About 75 members of the Alabama regiment, stationed at Camp Mills, Mineola, were on the train, according to the railroad officials. Farrar and Treadwell seated themages in the train of the train and joked between themselves of happenings during the day at the ferryhouse and terminal. They had not been there long when one member of the group turned around and spying the porters, gave vent to a yell of rage. Indignant that two colored men should be allowed to ride in the car with "Southern gentlemen," the first soldier called to the others, "Look at theigger." The soldiers immediately jumped from their seats and made their way to the rear where the two colored men were seated. They gathered around the two Negroes who became nervous at the menacing attitude of the soldiers and started to make their way to the rear platform of the train. The soldiers pressed forward using vile epithets, ordered the colored men to hurry and get off the train. Farrar Treadwell complied with the demand. Treadwell, a younger man than Farrar, was able to get to the rear platform before his companion and jumped to the station platform, railroad men say. Farrar, suffering from lumbago and only recently out of the hospital, was unable to move as fast as Treadwell, and the soldiers becoming enraged at his movements, picked him up and carried him to the rear platform of the train and hurried him to the tracks. Farrar was stunned by the fall and the soldiers taking advantage of his predicament, jumped to the track also, and surrounding the man, on the ground kicked and beat him unmerciful. One soldier in the group, it is said, drew a bayonet or a knife and lunged at the defenseless man now lying unconscious on the ground. The knife must have struck Farrar's right eye as his eye was ripped out. Railroad men attracted to the scene by the cries of Treadwell gave the signal to the engineer to start the train and as the last car moved from the station the soldiers, with a final yell, thurded the moving car and left the yard. The railroad men then came to the aid of the bleeding man and carried him to the waiting room, where his injuries were attended to, awaiting the arrival of the ambulance from St. John's Hospital. The officials of the Long Island Railroad conduct an investigation and will call the guilty soldiers are brought to justice. If the men do not come forward and admit their implication in the affair, then the officers of the regiment will be brought to account, the officials say. Among those to condemn the brutality of the Alabama soldiers was the New York Evening Globe, which, unaware of the soldiers that Disgrace the "flag" said, "A crowd of Alabama soldiers of the Rainbow Division brutally assaulted a negro porter on the Long Island Railroad the other day. Charles Foster MEMORIAL SERVICES HAWRTOS, Va.—Services in memory of the late Dr. Hollis B. Frissell were held Sunday afternoon. Influential men and women of both races promised, lented in business, social, educational and religious work being present in Campton Institute Cemetery. New hundred students of Hampton were also in attendance. All matched in quiet procession to Dr. Frissell's grave to pay silent devotion, prayer and song their tribute of affection and pledge themselves anew to loyal and courageous service. George Foster Peabody of New York, who has served for thirty-three years as a trustee of Hampton, spoke on "The More Abundant Lite" a theme which Dr. Frissell preached and lived. The principal memorial service was held in the beautiful school church from which Dr. Frissell had sent forth thousands of people with a new vision of life and a strong determination to work together for the good of all men. The clergyman who took part in the devotional service were the Rev. Dr. Eldridge L. Mix of Farmville, Va., the Rev Dr. Herbert B. Turner and the Rev. Laurence Fenninger, chaplain and associate chaplain of Hampton Institute The Rev Dr Francis G Peabody, of Cambridge, Mass., professor emeritus in Harvard University, comparing Samuel C. Armstrong and Hollis B Frissell. Other speakers were William M Reed, Hampton, 77, and Dr. James H Dillard. SOUTH CAROLINA NEGRO STATE FAIR and sensed COLUMBIA, S.

The members of the faculty of the mechanical department of the institute who in spare hours have cultivated home gardens in order to meet the problems of advancing prices got together the various products, such as they have raised, canned, dried and preserved. More than thirty-five families were represented in the display and there were on exhibit about 138 different varieties of products, including freshly gathered celery which is rather difficult to grow in this section, fresh tomatoes, watermelons, white potatoes, navy beans, lettuce and the other more seasonable products such as collards, turnips, peas velvet beans, etc. The exhibit also in included pigs, chickens, turkeys, pigeons cows and horses, all owned by Tuskegee's mechanical workers. The booths containing the exhibits were tastefully decorated with flags and autumn foliage, and the demonstration took place from 7 till 9 o'clock and during the evening music was dispensed by the Tuskegee Institute band. Promptly at 8 10 o'clock the chairman of the exhibit, F. C. Manley, director of the supply division introduced the head of the department, R. K Taxor who in turn presented E. T.

( SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK CITY MAIL ) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—George Tull, a colored sailor, its back in Philadelphia after an exciting and painful experience with a German submarine Tull shipped last May on a three-masted schooner A. B. Sherman, owned by the local firm of May & Son. When fifty miles from the English channel on June 27, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon Tull and Grace were standing on deck discussing the probability of meeting submarines. "George," said the captain, "you've sailed through here before. Do you think there's much chance of being disturbed?" "No, sir, captain. I don't," was the reply. "The warships are making it too hot for them." "By the way," exclaimed the captain pointing to the distance. "What's that raft out there?" Tull looked and pronounced at a torpedo boat. Fifteen minutes later, when a shell burst several hundred yards away from the Sherman he knew him mistake. It was a U boat. The crew took to the hib boat after a shell near the prow, wounding the merchant sailor. A fragment passed right through his left leg and an other piece struck him in the middle. The salamander in murder drew alongside the small boat. He ordered all but Tall ask the Ush at and boarding the hib boat with a number of his men toward to the Sherman. He spoke secret land on and asked why his troops had on board. "I told him," he said, "what we had all except the hams. I wasn't going to hand him those good Virginia hams. The Germans boarded the craft and returned, bearing among their boots two American flags. Pointing to them, Tull asked the captain it he didn't think they were pretty. The German laughed good naturedly "What do you want over here?" he asked the sailor "You colored folks ought to stay at home out of trouble." After returning to the submarine the captain ordered the Sherman percolated. Two were discharged, but the craft wouldn't sink, owing to the cargo of barrels filled with oil. Finally the Germans sighted an enemy craft and submerged, leaving the men in the small boat to their fate. The captain refused to tow them and did not offer any medical attention to the wounded sailor. After sixteen hours in the small boat the men were picked up by a tramp steamship bound for Sierra Leone, on the west coast of Africa. Tull spent several weeks in the hospital there, was sent back to Liverpool by the United State. Consult, and from there shipped home MAJOR OLLIE C.

INDOL HAIR PAPLOR 2257 7th A2A promises to bring about a square deal for Negro labor in the South, or at North-for that matter, is to be welcomed. It would be well for those concerned, however, to be cautious in the dealings with the leaders of organization labor, and test well the good faith of any overtures made before surreaching any advantage already gained." The Age mentions several instances, including the Rocky Mount affair, in which Negro unionists were unfairly dealt with by white unionists. There is really nothing in the situation at Rocky Mount to encourage Negro workers to have anything to do with the American Federation of Labro. We understand that when Negro union machinists helped walked out for higher wages, white union men were put in their places because, there was a growing sentiment or the part of the union against Negroes holding these places. We do not comprehend the ethics of a labor union that would permit one member to take an unfair advantage of another, and agree with The Age that Negroes should exercise care and discretion in identifying themselves with any branch of the American Federation of Labor. In Virginia the transportation workers have formed an organization under a State charter, which, in our judgment is the thing that all classes of colored aboers should do—Norfolk (Va.).

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1917 ```markdown ``` FUSION IN THE LEAD The sudden increase in the registration figures last week indicates that the voters of New York City have begun to realize the importance of the municipal campaign to be decided in November. The regular party vote is always registered early, but the average citizen does not register as a rule until he realizes the gravity of the issues to be decided. The opposition raised to Mayor Mitchel's nomination has aroused the voters and brought out those who were previously indifferent to his campaign. The businesslike government of the Fusion administration has commended itself to all classes of voters and they have come to look for a square deal in city matters. They have decided that the policies inaugurated by Mayor Mitchel and his co-workers are for the good of the city and should be continued. The best way to continue these policies is to vote the Fusion ticket. Mayor Mitchel has given an exceptionally clean administration, and is entitled to loyal support from those who believe in good government. As far as the colored citizens of New York are concerned, Mayor Mitchel's straight talk to the delegation that called on him shows that they are receiving the same benefits of good government that every other class of the community gets. No more should be asked and no less should be accepted THE GARY SYSTEM. Much dust has been raised in the present municipal campaign over the so-called Gary system, as introduced into the New York schools. The opponents of the system denounce it as an attempt to deprive the average child of the right to academic or cultural training and to restrict him to industrial training solely, so that he may be fitted to toil as a worker only in shops of the great industries. The friends of the system deny this in toto and affirm that when William Wirt originally devised his duplicate school system at Gary, Ind., he had these two objects in mind: "To promote the growth of the child mentally, bodily and spiritually, by enriching school life and its opportunities, and to conserve the energies of teachers." A class of not more than forty children and a school day of not over five hours are considered proper for both teacher and child. The idea advanced by Mr. Wirt was to alternating textbook lessons with craftsmanship and physical exercise and team play. This plan not only relieved the strain on teachers and pupils, but doubled the capacity of a school building and kept all parts of the school equipment busy during the day. The value of this plan to the overburdened school system of New York City is that among other things it promises to do away with the part time evil, which was an inadequate attempt to make one building do double service. It is contended that the teachers do not like the Gary system because it adds an hour to their time at school, but it is claimed that their hours of actual classwork remain the same. In this extra hour a few of them are required to supervise the playground, but the majority can use the time in marking papers or performing other school work that they formerly did at home. The Gary system is now being tried out in a number of the New York schools, which have been partly reconstructed to meet its requirements. If it justifies the hopes and predictions of its advocates, it will mark a decided advance in educational methods. The innovation has found favor with the children, who have found it a welcome change from the former routine, and the results in stimulating a renewed interest in their work have been pronounced. With greater interest and increased capacity for work, the success of the system is assured. INSURANCE FOR SOLDIERS Among the important legislation enacted by the recent session of Congress was the Soldiers' and Sailors' Insurance Bill, which is intended to serve as a substitute for the system of war pensions. By this measure each soldier is allowed to take out insurance up to the maximum of $10,000, at a rate not greater than he could if he remained in civil life, the government assuming the expense of the extra risk due to his military calling. Other provisions are as follows An amendment provides that $25 a month shall be paid to widows of civil war and Spanish-American war veterans, as well as to the widows of men who may be killed in the present war. *It will mean an increased cost to the Government of $3,500,000 annually and an advance of $15 a month to 4,141 Spanish war widows and $5 a month to 48,541 civil war widows. Reductions were made by the Senate in the House provisions for compensation paid for death or disability of soldiers and sailors or members of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps. Under the bill as it now stands a widow would receive $25 a month compared to $15 fixed by the House, while a widow with two children would receive $17.50, a reduction of $5. The other sections of the House bill were accepted with only minor changes, with the exception of the insurance section in which was inserted a provision which permits a soldier, not later than five years after the war ends, to convert his insurance without medical examination into any other form of insurance he may request. Allowances to dependents of men at the front range from $15 a month for a wife to $12.50 for a wife and two children and $5 more for each additional child. One-half of each man's pay is to be retained by the Government for dependents or if there are none, to be paid to the man with interest on his discharge or to his hours in event of his death. Never before were the interests of the soldier and his dependents so carefully safeguarded by the Government. Of course it remains to be seen how the new system of insurance will work out in actual practice, but it would seem to offer greater advantages to the individual than the old system of pensions, and to be less liable to abuse and favoritism. Our soldiers should not fail to avail themselves of the benefits offered them and their families under this law. At a gathering of intellectuals held last Saturday evening in Harlem, one of the speakers proudly boasted that he was an editor and a college man. He voiced the opinion that only graduates of colleges make good editors. After our trying experience to make a newspaper man out of the party in question we In one of last Sunday's papers, Frederic C. Howe, Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island, gave a very interesting interview on the probable movement of foreign-born persons to and from the United States after the war. In Mr. Howe's opinion, a great tide from the United States back to Europe will set in. He states that on a most conservative estimate, at least two million people will return to Europe the first year after the war if they can secure accommodation. He bases this opinion on the following facts: first, a census taken by the railroad and steamship companies shows that more than a million of our foreign-born population are planning to return to Europe the moment peace is declared; second, a large number of employers in Western cities report that there seems to be a concerted movement on foot to induce Hungarians, Austrians, and other Central European peoples to return to their native lands; third, bankers in the coal and industrial regions report that Poles, Italians and Russians in very large numbers are saving money and making preparations to return. A summary of Mr. Howe's explanation of this probable exodus is as follows: There are about fifteen million foreign-born persons in the United States. For more than three years these people have been almost entirely cut off from communication with their relatives and friends at home. The strong, human desire to see their relatives and friends and find out what condition they are in will be the compelling motive that will take many of these foreign-born people back. Then, there will be the quest for family property and possessions. Many of these people came to the United States because of the unsatisfactory division of property in the old countries. Some of them are, and many of them think they are, the sole heirs to family estates, and they are going back to claim them. Besides, there is the general expectation that there will be a breaking up of the great landed estates into small holdings which will make land cheap, and so Poles, Hungarians, Russians and Irish, too, are eager to get back and take advantage of the division. Moreover, the European governments are laying and perfecting plans to encourage and stimulate this movement. This policy of the European governments is due to two causes. First, these governments found when the war broke out that every one of their citizens who had taken up residence in the United States was a man lost to the colors, unless he voluntarily joined them, and as none of these countries is by any means sure that this will be the last war, it does not want to be caught that way again. Second, these European countries are going to need every available able-bodied human being to help rebuild what has been destroyed. Already England has appointed a commission to provide ways and means for providing land for invalided and returned soldiers. This will mean the breaking up of large estates; many of which are today held as hunting preserves by the titled aristocracy. All of the countries of Europe will adopt more or less similar plans. Perhaps the most striking change to result from this policy will be the change that will take place in Ireland. In 1840 Ireland had a population of more than eight million. In 1911 the population had dwindled to a little more than four million. That is, in a period of seventy years the population had decreased by half. This decrease was due in a large measure to migration to the United States. And the migration to the United States was due chiefly to land conditions in Ireland. If England establishes a liberal land policy, it is almost certain that hundreds of thousands of Irish people in this country will return to the Emerald Isle. But why are all these mighty changes now taking place in Europe a matter of vital interest to the American Negro? It is because they are bringing about his economic emancipation. In an article several weeks ago I pointed out that the physical emancipation of the Negro by the Civil War and his enfranchisement by Constitutional amendment still left him an economic slave. And his economic slavery was almost as bad as his physical slavery. We were four million people set free, without a dollar, without a foot of land, without even clothes, without education and without experience. We had placed in our hands a piece of paper called the ballot, and were told that we were citizens of the United States. Is there any wonder then that the piece of paper was snatched out of our hands, and we were made the victims of corruption? In spite of emancipation and enfranchisement, we found ourselves in the position of absolute dependence upon the very people who had fought to keep us enslaved for the bare chance to live. Our bread was to be had at their mercy. This was but another form of slavery, and it was a form of slavery which, if not worse for the Negro, was at least advantageous to the employer class of the soon learned that all college men are not necessarily educated. Since "Billy Boy," the patriotic song hit dedicated to Colonel William Hayward of the Fifteenth Regiment, has sprung into popularity, several meritorious poems and musical compositions have been written honoring this well known military organization. It is, therefore, regrettable that the last piece to invite public attention is so utterly lacking in racial dignity. Singing about a "coontown band" may help gratify the unquenchable thirst of some for notoriety, but in foreign lands such a song would only help to make colloquial the obnoxious term "coon," which is so often used in this country Ten Negroes and two whites have so far been tried and found guilty of participation in the race riots at East St Louis. Ill. Three more whites are to be tried this week. One paper calls this an impartial administration of justice We cannot go that far yet, as the account looks a trifle one-sided from our standpoint. A news dispatch from Abbeville, S.C., announces the arrest of the editor of the Scimitar on the charge of violation of the espionage act. This is the fellow who defended murder and lynching of Negroes in his incendiary sheet and defied the Grand Jury to indict those participating in the crime. His paper has also been barred from the mail. A new kind of fast has been proposed for the churches. It is to be called the patriotic fast and is part of the food conservation movement. Wheatless days, meatless days and wasteless days are provided for and each housekeeper is expected to record the observance of all these on a card to be turned into the church to which she belongs Sunday, October 28, is the day the churches will start the card system and it is to have a trial of two months. amount of capital invested in the slaves, and when the slave was sick or incapacitated, that capital was idle; and when the slave died, that capital was lost. (I do not think insurance was ever carried on slaves.) But under the new form, the employer class of the South got the use of the "slave" or tenant or peon or whatever we might term him without having any capital invested in him and without having even any responsibility for his welfare. These are the conditions under which the American Negro has struggled up for fifty years. The great miracle is that he has come up and not gone down. When this government emancipated the slaves, it no doubt felt that it had taken the last step in democracy: The liberation of the slaves was no step in democracy at all, it was an act of common humanity. It was then up to this government to begin its steps in democracy. It did go as far as declaring the slaves to be citizens of the United States; but, as I pointed out recently, that was not far enough. We need only look at the trend of thought and action in the European monarchies to-day in order to realize how far behind this great republic was fifty years ago. But, as I heard a well-informed lady remark in speaking on this subject a short while ago, the men at the head of this government fifty years ago didn't know any better. The ideas that are being generally discussed to-day never occurred to them. It never struck them to treat the right to property as less sacred than the right to life. Here is Russia fully realizing that if she is to have a true democracy, the Russian peasant must be given a right to the land. So the great estates and tracts of idle land that have been held by the aristocracy and the government are to be divided among the hitherto pauperized Russian tenants. The new Russian government knows that to give these peasants a piece of paper with "ballot" and "citizenship" printed on it and leave them in their old economic condition will mean next to nothing. The other European countries realize that they cannot have stable governments after this war unless they follow much the same policy. Land for this purpose will be seized, if necessary. Our government of fifty years ago did not hesitate to use human lives for the indirect purpose, at least, of freeing the slaves, but the thought that it would be just—and not only just, but wise and necessary—to divide up a part of the great Southern plantations among lately emancipated slaves and newly made citizens was at that time unthinkable. If the slaves had been given a certain number of acres of land, with farm equipment, the land so deeded that it could neither be sold nor mortgaged, the Negro would have been able to maintain his citizenship in the South, and Southern history for the last half century would make better and brighter reading. To-day, such a course would be considered the obvious thing to do; fifty years ago it was too radical for serious consideration. Here we have one of the landmarks along the advance of democratic thought. However, in spite of the condition in which the Negro found himself after the Civil War, he has steadily fought for an economic footing and has, in a manner achieved it. It has been a long fight, a painful fight, and was being won only by the slowest degrees. But here comes this great war that stopped foreign immigration, took immigrants out of the country, and bids fair to take out many more, and as a result, the Negro gets what should have been given him fifty years ago, his Economic Emancipation. But he does not get it as a gift, he gets it through the law of necessity; and that makes his hold upon it more secure. Let the Negro get his feet firmly planted on the rock of economic security, let him have the chance to earn an adequate living independently, to gain his bread without accepting it as a favor from any man, and to do this in the civilized states of the North, states where he can rear his children to a fuller stature of manhood and womanhood, and no one need worry about the progress of the race. And this is the chance that is coming to him out of the changes now taking place. He can't be kept out of it. And it is only just that he should not, for it is his heritage by right. It only rests upon the Negro to do his part. This is indeed the hour of great opportunity. COLORED OFFICERS IN THE ARMY Six hundred and seventy-eight the officers' training camp at Forsioned. One hundred and sixty three hundred and twenty as first ninety-eight as second lieutenant and the 17th Division of the Navy. Here we have a result better or eight months ago.

These new officers will command the 17th Division of the National Army. Here we have a result better than could have been hoped for six or eight months ago. Nearly seven hundred commissioned officers in the army; one hundred and sixty of them captains. We knew we would be in the war; the question was, "will any of our men get the chance to become leaders?"

To the Editor of The New York Age. Enclosed please find money order for renewal of my subscription. I was deeply interested in your editorial on September 20, regarding the thirtieth anniversary of the present name. There certainly has been great advancement in New York in that time, and there has been no stronger influence helping to better our condition than The New York Age which has ever been alert, courageous and fearless in demanding our rights and patient and untiring in its efforts, to guide us in a way that would command the respect of the community and make it possible for us to better our condition. So we will say, to The Age be honor, praise and thanks, for ever guarding our rights, pleading our cause and urging us up. I have missed a very few copies of the Freeman and The Age since 1880 and would just as leave go without my dinner as to go without The Age. IDEALS FOR OUR NEWSPAPERS. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: I want very heartily to commend both the timely wisdom and the strong race loyalty evidenced by the leading editorial in this week's issue of The Age. The habit is far too general with many of our race papers of spreading before their readers in glaring headlines the crime and scandals charged, but not always proven, against members of the race, and thus pandering to the unwholesome some taste of those of their readers whose mental conception is bounded by a morbid curiosity, and whose race pride is limited to the habitues of the gutter. It is nothing to the point to say that our papers of that class are merely following the lead of certain metropolitan journals of some of our large cities in seeking to give the public the "news" that the public wants to hear. The service merely of a newsmonger is not the highest service of a decent newspaper of any race. A paper that does not seek to lift a little higher the standard of thought among its constitutors by a service that spells character and dignity and high ideals has missed the main reason for its existence, and merely wallows in the mire of the common herd. With the stupendous task that just now confronts, every representative paper published by and for the race, there is absolutely no time for such shameless subservience to a degrading custom, and there should likewise be neither the desire nor the space for it. It is not enough that the white papers spread before the world with should glce every nasty fact or fancy calculated to hurt our reputation and humilate our pride? And shall the publishers of our own race papers combine through imitation, to put the stamp of their approval upon this reprehensible practice? Let us hope with great earnestness that your splendid editorial will serve to sound the alarm of danger in the spread of this harmful practice. Henry F. Baktr. Washington, D. C. OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD THE NEGRO. Describing a dance at a college for colored boys and girls in Atlanta, Julian Street remarks in *Collier's* "Nearly a hundred couples were present. All were clean, well but not showily dressed, dignified, well manned, while as for their dancing, it was not merely circumstance but beautifully rhythmic. My sense of justice compels me to add that the white people I saw later on the same evening, dancing in the Rathskeller of a leading hotel, did not compare favorably in manners or decorum—not to mention dancing with the Negro college students". Anybody else with a sense of justice might make the same observation and comparison in New York. So far however Mr Street's attitude represents a considerable improvement in fairness over most of us. When it comes to Negroes we usually do not think; we merely scream a lot of hectic prejudices. Later on in the same article Mr. Street exemplifies the complete falsity of our attitude. He was introduced to a Negro statesman "a tall heavily built man with the politician's panch" who started to orate about lynching, wagged his finger under Mr. Street's nose, and then, to emphasize a point, tapped the writer on the shoulder. Impudent familiarity is always offensive, but why should it be any worse from a pot-bellied Negro "statesman" than from a pot-bellied white statesman? There are few parts of New York where a white man who assaults another will attract abnormal attention, but if a Negro assaults a white man the entire neighborhood sets out to clean the sidewalk with him. There are just as many blackguards among white as among colored people; there are just as many impudent white waiters as there are impudent Pullman porters, and their impudence is just as exasperating. The only thing that makes us resent familiarity more from a colored man is a soothbite, artificial, ognid attitude. The next time you become annoyed at the citizen who "sasses" you in a sleeping car, before you sowl and think regretfully of lamp posts and bonfires, it would be well to think also of the last three white men who sassed you. Of course, if you believe in lynching all impudent people, white or black, that, again, is another matter. WASHINGTON, D.

Gunnell, New Jersey; the Rev. W. B. Reid, Connecticut; An address to the country was adopted, the most significant paragraphs being as follows: We note the general necessity for a constant course of instruction to our people, the change of habitation and occupation. We recommend that the press, the pulpit and the platform be dedicated, at least in part, to a continued course of instruction to the thousands who have come North to live under entirely new conditions and new laws; that obedience of the law be taught at every opportunity, efficiency and reliance that heft and economy be urged generally. "We call attention to the peculiar situation arising out of the draft of our men for the National Army. There is danger of unwise comment upon the method of procedure adopted by the administration, training and ultimate employment of Negro soldiers. We urge the exercise of caution in our remarks, and the cultivation of loyalty to the country forever, and especially at this time when it is evident that deceptive agencies are at work seeking to arouse us to disoyal expression and general disrust." We regret to keep before you the fact that our republic is still cursed with the presence of a spirit of lynchlaw and rioting of a virulent type. We recommend a renewed effort toward a successful abolition of this curse, and we urge that the subject be kept for ever before our National Congress for legislation calculated to put down forcible violence now operating with apparent sanction in the various sections of our republic."

They are trying to raise the race issue and seek to make you think Mayor Mitchel is opposed to the Negro. Such a proposition is an insult to the intelligence of the colored voter. Mitchel favors a bath house and play grounds in Harlem for all of the people. Mitchel is an impartial business Mayor who has given a square deal to everybody. Mitchel has come out flat-footed against segregation. Roosevelt, who never endorses anyone who does not believe in a square deal has enthusiastically endorsed Mayor Mitchel. Governor Whitman, the titular head of the Republican party in this State is supporting Mayor Mitchel Do you want to have the city run in a clean, straight, honest business way as it has been in the past four years or do you want to return to favoritism and mismanagement of affairs? Why waste your vote on any candidate who has no chance to win? VOTE FOR MITCHEL, the fighting Mayor, who has fought for the rights of all the people. He has kept the city safe. Don't let crooks, gun-men and thugs come back and make New York unsafe for you or your children. A vote for Mitchel means a vote for good government.
