15,000 COLORED WOMEN TO VOTE IN THE HARLEM DISTRICT; SUFFRAGISTS ARE ORGANIZING It is just beginning to dawn on hundreds of male voters in the state of New York that the victory of woman suffrage at the polls on November 6, has created an unusual situation in our body politic; at the sudden enfranchisement of over a million women of voting in the Empire State is a most revolutionary step, completely rocking topsy-turvy the old order of things. 15,000 CO VOTE IN T SUFFRA It is just beginning to dawn o state of New York that the victory November 6, has created an unus at the sudden enfranchisement o in the Empire State is a mo ocking topsy-turvy the old order Already the politicians are busy get a line on new conditions and for- turing ways and means to success- cy cope with them. In the Harlem station, where more Negroes live to square inch than any other place the world politicians have just awak- ed to the fact that they will have to MRS. ANNA K. LEWIS with 15,000 colored women of voyage. And these political wisecrackers are probably whistleblowers that colored women are more insistent in their needs and not as easily satisfied as good men. There are four assembly districts in town in which Negroes live, namely: Thirteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth Twenty-first. A census taken by Woman Suffrage Party between Mary and May of this year brought light that there were about 15,000 women residing in the four assembly districts who are entitled to vote, not likely the number has increased since spring. More Negro Assemblymen. The Nineteenth and Twenty-first as-ably districts are known as the largel-colored districts, and in the latter twenty-five per cent of the voters, when uttered, are Negroes. With the womens given the ballot politicians confess the assemblyman from the Twenty-first will from now on be a Negro. It expected that the Nineteenth Assem- District, which has just elected a negro assemblyman, will continue to and a race representative to the Legis- Colored women are preparing to take active part in politics. They have fun to form clubs and are talking politics with zest and enthusiasm. Perse is the most active colored suffrage worker in New York is Mrs. Anna Kravis, 240 West 134th Street, who is momentarily identified with the Woman Suffrage Party of this State and who worked assiduously for years in the rest of woman suffrage. Mrs. Lewis, for two years and a half, founded the Suffrage Training and Educational Section of the Woman Suffrage Party taking a course in parliamentary law and organization suffrage history and argument, government and political methods, economics and pub- speaking. She was awarded her certificate last March by Mrs. Helen C. Knifeld, who has charge of the Educational Section. Suffrage Leader Has Her Ups and Downs. The white and colored members of a Woman Suffrage Party elected Mrs. vice-leader of the Nineteenth Assembly District, and she is regarded by members of the suffrage organization as leader of the colored suffragists Harlem. Mrs. Lewis' leadership, of course, has been questioned time and the again by women outside of the organization. The chief argument made against in Lewis by her opponents is that she not what is generally known as an educated woman. A woman of marked ability ought to be leader of the colored抗议, the officials of the Woman Suffrage Party have been told, but after expressing their desires it is said that no organized effort has been made to unseat Mrs. Lewis through the regular channels. Prominent officials of the Woman Suffrage Party have stood by Mrs. Lewis throughout her fight for leadership, asserting that if a new colored suffragist leader was to be chosen the same method of procedure should be adopted as followed by white suffragists. "Organize, pay your dues and become an active member of the Woman Suffrage Party. If you do so you will be able to select whomever you please, for leader," has been the advice given colored women who have opposed Mrs. Lewis' leadership. The New York-State Suffrage Party, which has been advocating votes for women for nearly half a century is holding its annual session at the Ritz-Carlton, November 20, 21 and 22, and the gathering is a most notable one. In connection with laying plans for the future the suffragists are holding a regular love-feast over their recent victory. Mrs. Lewis and an alternate are among the delegates in attendance. Colored Women to Get Representation. Being well represented in the future in the council of the Suffrage Party depends solely on the attitude of the colored women, themselves, Mrs. Lewis told a representative of The Ace at her residence, which is being temporarily housed among suffragists in Harlem, and which is crowded day and night with newly enfranchised women. "Members of the Suffrage Party are very anxious to see colored women affiliate with them and also organize among themselves," Mrs. Lewis said to an Ace representative. There is everything in organization, one of our biggest jobs is going to be to make colored women look at things from this point of view. "There is no such thing as the color line in the Woman Suffrage Party an all women are admitted to membership. There is no reason why the leaders of the party in some of the Harlem assembly districts should not be colored women, particularly in the Twenty-first. But in order to secure the proper representation they must organize, pay their dues and maintain a healthy working organization. "After the State Convention at the Ritz-Carlton the city borough conventions will be held and local officers chosen. The district elections will be next when leaders and captains will be chosen. Officers of the Woman's Suffrage Party want to see the colored women of Harlem become thoroughly organized, establish a central organization of their own and elect their own leader. The need, however, of co-operating and being a party of the federation which was influential enough to secure woman suffrage is easily appreciated." Mrs. Lewis says that by spring the colored women in Harlem will be organized and the question of leadership definitely settled. ATTEN Mammoth R UNDER THE The Circle For Ne MRS.

McCALL FROWNS ON MOB SPIRIT Bay State Governor Refuses to Turn Negro Over to Southern Authorities NO TIME FOR RACE INJUSTICE Gov. McCall Tells Gov. Cromwell of West Virginia that No Poor John Johnson, Charged with Rape will Not Get Fair Trial if Returned to Charleston. (Special to The New York Age.) Boston, Mass.—Gov. McCall, in a letter to Gov. Cornwell of West Virginia, made public Tuesday, explained that he had declined to grant a requisition for the return to that State of John Johnson, colored, charged with rape, because of the "grave danger" that the defendant, might be convicted and sentenced to death for a crime of which he may not have been guilty. Assistant Attorney General Nelson P. Brown, who was directed by Gov. McCall to conduct a public hearing, reported that exaggerated accounts of the crime had been circulated in Charleston, W. Va., and because of their nature and Johnson's color there existed a prejudice which would be difficult, if not impossible of control by the most powerful returned to West Virginia. In indorsing the findings of the Assistant Attorney General, Governor McCall in his letter to Governor Cornwell said: I have no doubt that mob law or the unjust enforcement of the law would be as abhorrent to you as it is to the history of the splendid state of West Virginia. I have full confidence that if the case were reversed and facts such as have been brought to the attention of the Attorney-General were brought to yours, you would take action similar to that which he recommends. In the history of some of the greatest States of our Union there is far too much of gross injustice and the denial of rights of our citizens of African descent. This surely is not the time when any discrimination in the administration of justice should be permitted against a race which is bearing social fabric and furnishing many its full share of the burdens of our thousands of men who are training themselves to fight for their country. When American soldiers are fighting upon the battlefields of Europe for the freedom of the world we should exercise special care that so far as possible injustice should be banished from our own borders. The trained officer who has considered this case for the Commonwealth having reported against the return of the defendant, I feel compelled to act accordingly, very greatly as I regret not to grant any request made by Your Excellency.

WAR FUND (Special to The New York Age) ATLANTA, GA.—As a think of campaigns during the past month for war work of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in forty Negro colleges and secondary schools nearly $10,000 has been subscribed. Channing H. Tobin and Miss Mary G. Evans are executive of the colored division of the North American Council of Student Movement which has set before it the task of raising $1,000,000 for army work at the United abroad. When the colored movement began before them an objective of education be raised from college colleges to secondary schools to be an responsible unit serving when the appeal was made to the schools that this effort furnished an opportunity to those left behind to enter into fellowship the sacrifices of their own men who were going forth to give live itself, they responded in truly heroic fashion. Following it a partial list of subscriptions made: Hampton Institute, $1,000; West Virginia College Institute, $11; Howard University, $420; Fisk University, $387; Benedict College, $350; Talladega College, $332; Xorville College, $300; Shaw University, $300; St. Paul School, $254; Bluefield Col.

Normal, $100; Walden College, $88, and Campbell College, $50. Other schools in which campaigns were held, but from whom reports have not yet been received are: Georgia State College, Gammon Theological Seminary and Morris Brown University. The interesting thing about it all is that the subscriptions are being collected promptly. Hampton Institute and Union University have both collected their subscriptions of $1,000 each; Haines Institute, of Augusta, Ga., subscribed $144 and collected $234. The collecting campaigns is still going on on from present reports there is every reason for believing that not less than 80 per cent of all subscriptions will be collected. A circular appeal is being sent out this week urging all schools in which campaigns were not held to observe November 27 as a special day of prayer and offering for the war fund. It is hoped that the same spirit of sacrifice may characterize their response as was true of those participating in the subscription campaign. Mr. Tobias and Miss Evans have been ably assisted in their campaign work by Dr. J. E. Moorland, Secretary J. H. McGrew of Virginia, Secretary J. B. Watson of Atlanta, President John Hope of Atlanta, Mrs. Mary C. McCrystal of Charlotte, Prof. W. H. Holloway of Talladega, Mrs. Holmes of Hampton Institute, the Rev.

A UNIQUE EXHIBITION An exhibition of pictures by Negro children is being held at the Ceady Gallery, 489 Fifth Avenue, and the paintings of those juvenile artists are attracting more than ordinary attention. R. J. Coady, the well-known artist, and editor of The Soil, a magazine of literature and art, has three art classes made up of children ranging from 11 to 18 years. He is frank to canfeas that his most promising class is composed of Negro children who receive weekly instruction in Brooklyn and whose work is now an exhibition at his gallery. This exhibition of Negro children is held for the purpose of calling attention to the Negro to his contributions to the culture of the past and present. Mr. Coady says, "There was a negro element in most art epoche' up to that of Greece and Rome. It was as much the Negro influence as any other in Spain which El Greece found helpful in his development from a Venetian to the father of the Spanish school. The whole' of modern art has been strongly influenced by the Negro. More than any others, it was Johnson, McVean and Langford who opened the eyes of France to the aesthetic possibilities of boxing and elevated 'the many art' to the same plane of appreciation as grand opera, over there." 19TH ANNIVERSARY OF PASTOR CELEBRATED More than four hundred persons participated in the reception tendered Dr. H. Sims at the church Friday evening, November 9, on which occasion his nine- REV. C. R. SIMS teenth anniversary as pastor of Union Baptist Church was celebrated.

The receipts for the nineteenth year amounted to $12,600.97. The membership was less than one hundred. The present membership is 3,160, with property easily valued at $125,000. Dr. G Hunt was master of ceremonies at the reception. Some of the clergymen present and who delivered brief addresses were Dr. H. A. Booker, Dr. A. Campbell, Dr. W. Hays, Dr. L. B. Brown, Dr. Timothy White, the Rev. W. M. Campbell, the Rev. Mr. Duncan, the Rev. Leon Miller, Mrs W. W. Brown, Mr. and Mrs, Watt Terry and Hon. Fred R. Moore.

The guests were led by the ushers of the church from the main auditorium to the lecture room, where more than four hundred persons seated themselves at the tables filled with good things. Much credit is given to the committee for the success of the reception, composed of Mrs. Harvey Green, Mrs. Jennie Winder, Mrs. Fannie Moore and the men ushers under Mr. Tibbs. (Special to The New York Times) Atlanta, Ga.-Atlanta University has had a remarkable opening. The enrollment so far is 551, including the Oglethorpe Practice School. This represents a greater enrollment that was had all of last year. Despite the draft made by the war upon the student body the enrollment and he student activities have constantly gained ground. The University is represented by 21 officers, of which two are captains, thirteen are first lieutenants and eight are second lieutenants, besides Y. M. C. A. workers and two or three in private ranks. NEGRO IS NOW RECOGNIZED BY FEDERATION OF LABOR TUSKEGEE SENIORS TO MAKE REAL SACRIFICE (Special to The New York Age.) TUSKEGEE, ALA.—The members of the senior class of Tuskegge Institute have voluntarily asked the officials of the school not to provide them a special Thanksgiving dinner. The purpose of this rather unexpected move upon their part comes about as a result of the Food Conservation Campaign that is being conducted throughout the country, and of their desire to render some patriotic service representing real sacrifice. Principal Moton has received the following communication from E. L. Brooks, president of the senior class. At the last meeting of the senior class we considered carefully the matter of food conservation. As a result of our deliberations the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved: That in view of our nation's crisis which necessitates the conservation of every available resource for the further strengthening of our military, and naval forces; and in realizing that on Thanksgiving Day much foodstuffs than is necessary is generally used and thus wasted, we do hereby pledge that we the members of the Class of '18, will refrain from putting on our tables any, extra foods on Thanksgiving Day, and furthermore that we will do all we can to create a similar sentiment among the other students. "This we hope will serve to bring to your attention the fact that we stand firmly behind the school in its efforts of conservation." Turkey and pumpkin pie are to be among the many good things tabooed Thanksgiving Day. COUNTY FAIR HELD (Special to The New York Am.) MONTBAY BAY, Miss.

NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. RECOGNIZED TION OF LABOR To Begin Organizing Colored Workers in the South ADOPT RESOLUTIONS White Delegates From Dixie Favor Move Convention Is Told by Southern White Men that Race Prejudice of White Trade Unionists No Longer Exists. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) BUFFALO, N. Y. — Negro labor has been recognized by the American Federation of Labor, and the federation has decided to organize the colored workingman. A step to take in southern Negroes in large numbers will at once be inaugurated, and the plan is heartily endorsed by white delegates from the Southland. White southern delegates to the convention are very much in favor of the movement, Delegate King, of Alabama seconded the motion on the resolution to organize the colored workers. He declared that prejudice against the Negro worker was dying out in the South and that the great migrations of colored laborers, from the North to the South was uneconomic. The majority of delegates believe that recognition of Negro labor by the American Federation of Labor will prevent massacres and riots such occurred in East St. Louis Ill. The decision to maintain a friendly attitude to Negro labor was decided by the executive session of the House by delegates from the Helpers' and Laborers' Union, No. 15,566, was unanimously adopted: Whereas, the American Federation of Labor stands for strength and protection by concentrating its power through organized forces into unionized labor, and since more effectual work might be accomplished through certain agencies by reason of intimate and social relations, and Whereas, the colored laborers and helpers throughout the Southeastern district are not familiar with the labor movement as they should be, especially upon the different railroads of the Southeastern territory; and Whereas, there are fifteen different railroads in the district; and Whereas, There are only four colored locals on these fifteen roads, two on the Seaboard, one on the Atlantic Codat Line, and one on the Norfolk and Western; and Whereas, We feel and believe that a colored organizer, because of his racial and social relations among his people, could accomplish much in organizing the forces into unions; and Whereas, There is a union in our city (Portsmouth) known as the Transportation Working Men's Association, with a membership of 1,800, meeting in the same hall we are, and since so many of our men are falling in line with them; therefore be it Resolved, That it be the sense of the convention to recommend the appointment of a railroad man (colored) as organizer for the territory as above mentioned. Nogtie Address Convention. For the first time in history Negro delegates addressed the convention, taking that their ranks be organized. The Federation voted to appoint an organizer under a special department to do this work in all sections of the country. Delegate Battle, colored, stated, after the adoption of the resolution, that some 15,000 colored laborers and helpers in the employ of the shop departments of the railroads in the Southeastern district could be secured for union membership. There are more than 3,000 on the Scaboard system alone. These men are the more ready to organize under the Federation, since under the recent agreement between the Railway Employees' Department of the A. F. L. and the Southeastern group of railroads the latter gave to the white helpers 8½ per cent. increase in pay, and to the colored workers only 4 per cent. White helpers got back pay, so far as the increase was concerned, for the period from March 1 to August. No back pay was given the colored helpers. In Rocky Mount there are 400 of the colored helpers on strike, demanding the same increase as was given their white fellow-workers. Curiously enough, the colored men were, in part at least, organized and affiliated with the Federation, while many of the white helpers were unorganized. Delegate Burt confirmed this statement. They are taking up this grievance Hair Grower, 30c. per box by mail. Full six weeks' treatment, $1.50. Cash or C. O. D. If your hair is short, thin, falling out or breaking off, you should not delay, but write at once for Department, and will note that the discrimination made against their race be removed in this instance as a further proof of the sincerity of the Federation in seeking to enroll the Negro workers in the community movement. Five other colored delegates, representing local unions in the State of Virginia, have introduced a resolution asking that colored organizers be appointed to work in Roanoke, Richmond, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Suffolk, Rocky Mount, Raleigh, Jacksonville, and any other cities of the South, where wage-standards for the colored workers are now low. Favors Colored Organizers. Delegate King of Alabama, speaking to the Convention Monday, said that the old racial prejudice of the white trade unionist in the South had worn off. Colored strikers had stayed out when white men gave up battles for a higher wage, and the white men who also stayed out and finally won the struggle were appreciative of the spirit shown. The Negro, he said, was quick to take to organization, to ritual, to discipline within the organization, and he would be faithful to the obligations of union membership. The time had come to enroll the Negro of the South in the union movement, through colored locals, formed by colored organizers. : What has been done here in giving the Negro of the South a new opportunity to help himself is in itself perhaps trial, but it at least marks an end of the old antagonism which prevented the creation of colored trade unions under the Federation in the trades where every white man carried a union card. Probably the war has been largely responsible for the new feeling. Labor supply is short. Colored workers, migrating to the industrial towns and to the North by hundreds of thousands, have become efficient, and many of them skilled. They are getting more pay than they ever dreamed of, and they are becoming used to the knowledge that they can get still higher wages if they join their efforts in the direction. It may easily prove that the Negro will come into the unions more rapidly than has any other race in the country, now that his own people are to take the invitation to him. The decision by the convention to send Negro organizers to bring the Southern Negro into the labor movement is the more significant in view of two facts. The first is that one year ago a resolution brought in by Ohio delegates asked that white organizers be sent among the Negroes in the South—but soelv on the ground that the exodus of Negro labor to the North was menace to the wage standards of white Labor. There was no expression, a year ago, of interest in the organization of the Negro for his own good. The other fact is that the Negroes in Virginia and the Carolinas, employed in railroad shops as laborers and helpers, organized themselves into "fraternal orders" under charter from the State Government, and during the past year began converting this self-established movement into local unions under the American Federation of Labor. WAGING CAMPAIGN FOR HOSPITAL, NEW ORLEANS (Special to The New York Times) NEW ORLEANS, LA. The Negroes of New Orleans are doing their part in the campaign for a Negro hospital in New Orleans. Not only have several hundred carpenters, masons, plasterers and electricians offered to give one or two days' work free to the actual work of construction, but at the colored mass meeting recently in Longshoremen's Hall a total of $1,994 was pledged by colored citizens to the fund. This, added to cash donations of $266 received by the Times-Pacific, gives a total of $2,890. The total stands divided, $2,007 from Negroes and $276 from white persons. The mass meeting was attended by a crowd that packed the auditorium, and was attended by the leaders of the Negro race in New Orleans and other towns in the state. Albert Workman presided and Albert Wicker acted as secretary. Mr. Workman explained the object of the meeting and Wicker read the circular letter which had been sent number of speakers followed with short number of speakers followed with short talks indorsing the movement and urging the fullest co-operation by the members of their race.

I.-The 367th Infantry Regiment, composed of Negro troops and under the command of Col. James A. Moss, offers many examples of the miracles worked by tricks of war. Among those who have prolied by these changes are the seasoned veterans who have served their time as non-coms in the Negro regiments of the Regular Army and then won their commissions at Fort Des Moines. They constitute the line officers of the 367th and a mighty fine lot they are. An interesting story of these trained top sergeants and old sergeant majors is told in a special despatch to the New York Sun. One day early in July nineteen years ago in front of San Juan Hill a dashing young Second Lieutenant of the Twenty-fifth Infantry won a First Lieutenant's commission and was assigned to the Twenty-fourth Infantry. He had done some hard bits of fighting with the Twenty-fifth, but when he joined his new regiment he found that it too had covered itself with glory facing Spanish Mausers. In this new company of the First Lieutenant was a young Negro corporal who had come into the army a clean, upstanding lad only a few months before, and on the day of sailing out of Tampa for the front had been made a corporal. A year later, almost to a day, just before boarding ship from San Francisco for the Philippine Islands to help put down the insurrection. Corporal Walter B Williams was given a battalion sergeant major's chevrots. Campaign in Philippines. Then had come a long, hard campaign in northern Lyon with General Sam Young's campaigns "thung bangade" in command of Company I was first Lieutenant James A Moss and on the staffs Adjutant general was first Lieutenant F B Cassate, with the rank of Major of Volunteers—the same Major Cassate who is to-day Assistant Inspector-General on Camp Lyon. At Tayang the expedition had met Major-Gen. Henry W. Lawton, and there the Second Battalion of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, consisting of 225 men and 104 native scouts under Capt. Joseph B. Batchelor, Jr., was ordered across the Argo Mountains. They were to intercept Agumaldo and break the backbone of the revolution. That was on November 15, 1899, and on December 23 the outfit reached Lallec on the Cagayon River and hunry, ragged and sick met the United States gunboat Helena, under Capt. Moore. It was a foot sore and bedraggled little outfit, but their thirty-eight days record march helped force the surrender of the native Gen. Canon and Gen. Terona's Cayagon battalion—the pride of Agumaldo's army—and the capture of Tuguegaria with the liberation of 1,500 Spanish prisoners. And all during this fine fighting campaign a certain Colonel, J. Franklin Bell, with his "suicide regiment," the famous Thirty- sixth United States Volunteers, along with a certain Captain of volunteers, E. E. Booth, was cleaning up the country south and west of San Fernando, Pampanga. Back finally at Tayug, in the province of Pangasian, the Twenty-fourth forcathered and rested a bit on its laurels. Bocomes a Sergeant-Major. Soon a young Lieutenant, James A. Moss, was made regimental adjutant. And about the same time a certain old soldier, Sergeant-Major Green, having gone back to the States on an extended leave, the new regimental adjutant promoted his battalion Sergeant-Major Walter B. Williams to be regimental sergeant-major. Then three months later when the old sergeant major returned he found his place filled and little chance of regaining it. So in a little hue at both his successor and the regimental adjutant old Sergeant (green had himself transferred to the sister Twenty) ninth as sergeant major And slowly the wheels of the army gods ground on and in time Tsergeant-Major Green had done his thirty years and retired on a comfortable $70 pension. And all the time Tsergeant-Major Williams kept his old place with the Twenty-fourth, and one day six or seven years ago, when there was a vacancy in the semi-official post of regimental exchange steward—which is a fancy army name for storekeeper and carries with it a welcome salary of $120 a month—Wilhams, remembering his old friend Green, sent for him. And while the army gods who look after the Negro soldiers were busy with their grist the army gods who watch over the destiny of white officers saw to it that regimental Adjt. Moss became a captain. All in all, he has served fourteen years on the rolls of the Twenty-fourth. Some of these years it was detached service, but always on the collar insignia of his uniform was the crossed guns of the infantry and the marking "24." First Message to Wilhame. Then in 1912, at Madison barracks, this Captain was assigned to the Twenty-ninth Infantry. And when he said good-by to his old regimental Sergeant-Major it was as certain as army pay that the Negro soldier with his three service ribbons would finish out his time and one day retire on his $70 pension. When the Twenty-ninth Infantry went to Pamama two or three years ago Moss went along, but in August of this year, when the plans of the National Army had been perfected and it had been decided to form a complete separate division of Negro troops officered with white field officers but with Negro company commanders and junior officers, the then Major Moss was called back and made Colonel of the 367th, at Camp Upton. One of the first things that he did was to wire to his old regimental Sergeant at the Negro officers' raining camp at Des Moines, Ia, and ask him if he wanted to serve under him. And the war tried old soldier remembered. His mind went back to divers and sunny fighting days in Cuba and the Philippines, when a dashing young Lieutenant had plugged them alongside of him. And remembering, further, many peaceful years when as Sergeant-Major he had been at least left hand man to this same officer serving as regimental the headquarter of down town other requests. With a Captain's commission he came on. So it was that Capt. Walter B. Williams, ranking enlisted man and noncom of the whole United States Army, white or black, with but two years to finish out his thirty years of service, returned to serve under his old commander. The first official job he did was to suggest that another old timer, long retired Sergeant-Major Green, be given the job of regimental exchange steward, with its $120 a month. So that night a wire went to Columbus, N. M., to the exchange steward of the Twenty-fourth Infantry offering him the job. And he took it, and the other day around the headquarters of Moss's buffaloes—the swaggerest Negro outfit in the National Army, with a coat of arms, swagger sticks, welfare league, embossed stationery and the fightened colored gents that ever came out of Harlem—well, at Moss's buffaloes there was quite a little family reunion. War surely does play some mighty strange tricks.

The most significant result of the elections in New York State this month was the declaration in favor of the right of suffrage for women. Undoubtedly the active participation of the women in the work of war relief and other conditions growing out of the world war contributed to this result. For, only two years ago, the proposition suffered defeat. The high plane on which the women of the State conducted their campaign also impressed the voters favorably. THE AGE rejoices with the other advocates of woman, suffrage in the victory gained, as it believes that the participation of women in political affairs will work for the greater good of the community. It will be well for the various organizations of our women to take up the new responsibilities devolving upon them with the intent that the privilege of the ballot may be wielded wisely and intelligently. The leaders of the sex, and especially such active forces as the Federation of Women's Clubs, will have a great opportunity to demonstrate the power of the ballot when directed for the common weal. To start with, the women may be expected to enter upon their voting career with less of ingrained partisanship to bias their choice of candidates. In municipal matters they will naturally consider such questions as the protection of the home, the purity of food and water supplies and the regulation of the many matters that beset the parent and housekeeper, especially the schools. Advancing to state regulation, they will undoubtedly insist on the protection of womanhood and childhood from factory evils and the stricter regulation or even prohibition of the liquor traffic may be looked for. Those who expect the women to adhere strictly to the old lines of party division, especially in such vital matters as these, are liable to disappointment. The women may be expected to take their new responsibilities seriously, and the politicians had better prepare to deal with them on that plane. TEACHING SEDITION. The attitude of the commanding officer of Camp Meade causes the white editor of the Brunswick (Ga.) News to see red and to loudly vociferate that said commandant "is on the trot for trouble." The reason for this display of Georgian indignation? Why the report that court martial is threatened for any white soldier who refuses to sa- lute an officer because of the officer's color. To insist that white soldiers conform to this ordinary observance of military discipline, according to the inflamed view of the Brunswick editor, is to insist that they "suffer a wanton humiliation, abase themselves upon every casual occasion and publicly disavow their people, do violence and treason to the principles which are the very foundations of southern social safety and offend the women who gave them life." And yet this inconsistent editor thinks that the "colored troops should have respect, sympathy, friendship." How is such a blind, unreasoning prejudice, combined with the profession of respect and friendship, to be regarded. Nothing short of a surgical operation can set a brain straight which works in such tortuous channels. And the worst of it is that such brains are permitted to shape public opinion the wrong way in certain sections of the country. For the evil suggestion is made that the effect of this policy inaugurated at Camp Meade "will prevent the extension of the draft law" and cause an early movement for its repeal, besides bearing fruit in "that inner bitterness which develops into serious outbreaks." The editor of the Brunswick News, whether he knows it or not, is preaching sedition, and incidentally giving aid and comfort to the enemies of his country. There is a penalty provided for such crimes. It should be enforced. OPPORTUNITY'S KNOCK. There is an old saying to the effect that Opportunity knocks at the door of every man at least once, but if her call is disregarded, she finally tires and fails to come again. Opportunity has been knocking at the door of our many race organizations for some time, but little attention seems to have been paid to her call. There exist among the race many qualified workers in industrial lines, who on account of race proscription have been unable to find employment in their special callings. Carpenters, painters and other skilled mechanics are often obliged to take positions in the unskilled labor class in order to make a living. With the scarcity of skilled labor since the war, however, opportunities are opening for men of this class to pursue the calling for which they are specially qualified, and thus increase their earning capacity. But when such opportunities fail to come to the race, the individuals should endeavor to create the opportunities for themselves. For instance, there are church organizations and real estate owners and managers of properties, who frequently require the services of such mechanics in the care of the property under their control. Some method should be devised to bring these two classes together, so that the skilled artisan could find his proper employment in caring for the property owned and managed by race interests. Then there are business establishments of various kinds run by our men and women, which receive but a fraction of the support that could easily be given them by the masses of the race.1 This support if thrown solidly to these establishments, would enable them to enlarge their business and thus furnish employment to a greater number of our youth. The N gro colony in Harlem furnishes an example of this kind of opportunity, which is suffered to escape unutilized. Others are grabbing these opportunities for industrial expansion. We cannot afford to let them escape. We should get busy. Every member of the race should show his or her patriotism by engaging in some activity to help speed up the war machinery. If he cannot do his bit in the camp or the field, he can help supply the needs of the men who are there. Savings can be invested in a Liberty bond or a War Thrift certifi- VIEWS and REVIEWS WE ANSWER WITH PLEASURE. know just how to begin, but I want to ask you to learn us great pleasure to take our pen in hand and we shall answer it from the bottle.

The following letter was received the other day from an Age reader: "Mr. James W. Johnson. New York Age, New York City Dear Sir: I don't know just how to begin, tell the young and old men who have or no education just how to go about need and want. Not a few I have when they want to learn, it's too bad. So I thought I would ask you to tell space in your great paper. I do enjoy week. In fact, I enjoy the whole talking about.

It is not so much that we k it is that we never write anything and if we start to write something first go and learn more about it can do it.

Then, in addition to these, the free university maintained by them may go there and take up a college degree. The City College stands shot fired from its tower would fall thousand Negroes, yet it is doubt people in Harlem know what those side Heights are, whether they a factory. The writer spent nineteen ye only last year he spent three ever taking a course in a subject that I don't know just how to begin, but I want to ask you if you won't tell the young and old men who have come from the South with little or no education just how to go about to get the education they so badly need, and want. Not a few I have met, and, sir, they have brain; and when they want to learn, it's too bad they don't know how to go about it. So I thought I would ask you to tell them. Please give them just a little space in your great paper. I do enjoy your writing, word for word, each week. In fact, I enjoy the whole paper. You know what you are talking about. Please don't let this reach the waste-basket without giving the men some hope." In the phraseology of by-gone days we say to our correspondent that it gives us great pleasure to take our pen in hand to answer this letter. And we shall answer it from the bottom up. 'In the first place, let us say that no letter that comes to the writer of this column goes into the waste-basket without consideration—and the writer receives a great many letters from all over the country. Then it goes without saying that such a sincere letter on a vital subject as is the above would not be thoughtlessly thrown aside. In the next place, being human, we cannot be expected to pass over the splendid compliment in the latter part of the letter without expressing some satisfaction. Our correspondent enjoys our writing "word for word each week;" that is a fine compliment. When a correspondent writes and tells us that he enjoys this or that article, we experience a feeling of satisfaction, but when one writes and tells us that he enjoys these articles word for word each week, year after year, the feeling we experience, naturally, exceeds mere satisfaction. But this correspondent does not stop here. He, or rather it is she, goes on and pays the very highest compliment that can possibly be paid to an editorial writer by declaring, "You know what you are talking about." What an encomium for an editorial writer to strive for! "You know what you are talking about." Now, at the risk of puncturing our reputation for encyclopedic knowledge, we are going to make a confession, reveal a secret as it were. It is not so much that we know what we are talking about, as it is that we never write anything about which we know nothing, and if we start to write something about which we know little, we first go and learn more about it. That is perfectly easy. Anybody can do it. But, let us get to the information our correspondent asks for. We have given it in these columns several times before, but are glad to do so again. There is no reason why boys or girls, young men or young women, old men or old women, black or white, should go without education in this great, free land of the North. There are free evening schools where old people who have no education may go and get an elementary training; there are free evening schools where young people whose education has been interrupted by having to go to work may go and finish a high school course and get a diploma; there are free evening schools where instruction is given in wood working, metal working, bookbinding, printing, electric wiring, mechanical shop practice and in other of the industrial and mechanical arts. Especially is all of this true of New York city. Such schools are accessible to every community, and it demands only a little effort and sacrifice of time and pleasure to take advantage of them. Then, in addition to these, there is the City College, that great, free university maintained by the city. Any young man or woman may go there and take up a college or scientific course leading to a degree. The City College stands overlooking Harlem. A pistol-shot fired from its tower would fall in the very midst of one hundred thousand Negroes, yet it is doubtful if fifty per cent of the colored people in Harlem know what those great gray buildings on Morning-side Heights are, whether they are a university, an armory or a factory. The writer spent nineteen years in school before he quit. But only last year he spent three evenings a week at the City College taking a course in a subject that he wanted to know more about. cate, which will help supply the funds to furnish ammunition and equipment. The Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. will welcome co-operation in the various lines of work that these organizations are doing for the soldiers. And then there is always the demand for smbkes to be supplied for the comfort and solace of the men at the front, or preparing to go there. The Women's Auxiliary of the Fifteenth Regiment and similar organizations are contributing to this work and should receive generous support. A notable feature of the selective draft for the National army in the South is the popular demonstration tendered the Negro quotas on their departure for the various camps for training. In many of the cities there have been farewell receptions, with addresses by prominent men of both races. Many southern mayors have headed the procession of the recruits to the railroad station. All in all, there has been a disposition in many parts of the Southland to render full credit to the men of the race, who have gone forth to do their bit for the country. but I want to ask you if you won't come from the South with little interest, and, sir, they have brain; and they don't know how to go about it. Ask them. Please give them just a little joy your writing, word for word, each paper. You know what you areaste-basket without giving the men the days we say to our correspondent to take our pen in hand to answer it from the bottom up.

In, we cannot be expected to pass the latter part of the letter without a correspondent enjoys our writing a fine compliment.

But things a week at the City College he wanted to know more about. The movement to furnish comforts and necessaries for the men called to the camps and in active service has enlisted the efforts of many of the women's organizations. No better method could be devised to sustain the spirits and minister to the comfort of those who are going forth to fight for the country. There should be no relaxation of these efforts as the number of those to be cared for is large and the work should be continuous as long as the war prevails. The demand for smokes alone requires constant supplies to meet the demand. In mapping out the programs for Thanksgiving and Christmas the soldiers should not be forgotten. The Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New York went on record in the annual convention held last week in favor of prohibition for the duration of the war. The convention also voted for the enforcement of the Sunday laws and for better regulation of moving pictures. A straw showing that the Church is getting closer to the people and the matters that touch them in the mass. During the time he was there he saw three other colored students of course there might have been a few more—and he estimated that there were at least fifteen hundred young Jewish students in attendance every evening, young people who worked at day. Instead of three, or even thirty colored students in the City College, there ought to be three hundred of our colored young men and women attending this great school every night. It would mean only less wasted time. It would cost only less "good times." IAPAN'S POSITION AMONG THE ALLIES. There has been considerable comment printed in the last days regarding Japan's position among the Allies. There is no doubt that this question has arisen on account of the recent reverses which have come to the anti-German coalition. Within the last fifteen days, the flickering hope that Russia might reorganize in a manner that would enable her again to take her place as a fighting unit has been definitely blasted. Simultaneously came the realization that the Italian defeat amounted to a disaster. Either of these happenings alone would constitute a terrible blow; coming, as they do, together they place the whole Allied cause in a serious and critical position. After a short digression, he continued as follows: INVOKES A BLESSING. To the Editor of THE New York Age. Please find enclosed one dollar subscription.

Indianapolis, Ind. M. W. TURK RACE PREJUDICE AND THE WM (From the New York Tribune) The war is going to revolve American life on an undreamed-of Old habits of thought, economic pre- sessions, inherited prejudices are swept away. We cannot now give transformation which is coming. It lesses are silent. But some day we wake up and find an amazing re- ment accomplished. Perhaps, of the two reverses the Russian situation is the worse. If Russia had been able to maintain a defensive, to say nothing of an offensive, it would have made it necessary for Germany to keep a million or more men on the eastern front. The inability of Russia to do this made it possible for Germany to transfer men enough to make the successful attack on the Italian lines. If the present tendency in Russia goes still farther and results in a separate peace, Germany will not only be benefitted by the release of man power from the eastern front, but she will have opened up to her a new and much needed supply of food and raw material. The war will work many miracles, one of them be an amelioration of violence of American race and prejudice? That is one of the hard things in the world to combat, because is beyond the pale of reason. Will war force us to reason about it? Will have performed the miracle miracles. It is our claim that we are fighting war to make the world safe for democracy. Democracy implies equality, privilege and equal obligation of justice. If we fight for this for the world general we ought to be prepared to tise it among ourselves. At present mingle 'democracy with discrimination' all the elements of our citizenship not stand on the same level. But it is no way of evading the fact that der a modern military regime—one universal service—all elements of citizenship must stand on the same The Italian disaster, though not so important from a military point of view as the Russian situation, nevertheless, carries grave political consequences. The fact that the Italian army has lost in two weeks not only what it took two years to gain, but also a large area of Italian territory, will have a double effect. It will weaken the morale of Italy, France and England, it will weaken the influence of the governments of the Allied countries and stimulate the desire of the people for peace. On the other hand, it will strengthen the morale of Germany and Austria, strengthen the influence of their Governments and reduce the desire of the people for peace. No distinction can be drawn in the military code between white dieters and black soldiers, between white officers and black officers. They are fighting for the same cause and deserve the same credit for doing so. Yet the other day a Negro officer revived his home in Vicksburg, Miss., was on soldier by friends to put on clothes, for fear that he might be mutilated if he appeared in the streets in United States uniform. Also, in a Kenyan camp recently, two white non-commissioned officers refused to salute a N commissioned officer. They stood their sense of caste, fortified by the cedents of civilian life. They wrong, and the military author could not do anything but decide they were wrong, since the salute always to the uniform and not to the dividual who wears it. It is useless to try to disguise the seriousness of the situation; no amount of verbal camouflage can do it. When the United States entered the war, her great man power and resources were a clear net gain to the Allies. To-day, her weight on the side of the Allies serves little more than to counterbalance the loss of Russia and the defeat of Italy. So the winning of the war now rests upon France, England and the United States; and each of these countries realizes that it is going to take every ounce of strength and courage they possess to do it. However, in my opinion, as I shall try to show later, it is going to take more than strength and courage. As I suggested in beginning, these sudden changes for the worse have brought up the question, "Where is Japan with her magnificent army? Is she not one of the Allies? Why does she not step in and help fill the gaps?" Here is the sort of test which our and color prejudice will have to as the war progresses. We must Negro privates and Negro officers are Americans, and when they go they will receive the respect American soldiers. How can we cuse ourselves for withholding them here at home the respect their right? In peace we have this question. Now we can no dodge it. If the war lasts two or years longer and we call hundreds thousands of Negroes into the ranks commission some thousands of Negro officers, these men and officers joy under the flag an equality of which they have never enjoyed been in many parts of the United States. We deprive them of that status they are honorably mustered out? Is the problem which those of us are most imbued with race might as well begin to face honesty. These questions were answered the other night by Dr. Iyenaga in an address before the Rotary Club at the Hotel McAlpin. Dr. Iyenaga spoke at considerable length and his speech was reported quite fully. He began by saying: "We are brothers in arms, so we have the same anxiety, the same hope, the same confidence in the ultimate victory of our common cause." He then went on to state that Japan's proper sphere of activity was in the Orieht; that Japan entered the war in obedience to the terms of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, by which agreement her naval and military activities were limited to the Far East and its waters. He also pointed out the difficulties of transportation; that the Trans-Siberian Railroad in its present paralyzed condition was taxed to its utmost in hauling the military provisions piled up at Vladivostock, making the transportation of Japanese troops to the eastern front next to an impossibility; that it would require a thousand ships of four thousand tons each to transport a million Japanese troops to the western front, making that next to an impossible undertaking. The government is telling all Americans that they have an equal stake in war. All are invited to put their energies and resources into a common But if the enterprise is common the burdens are common, the glory also be common. Nationality, patriarchy—these may be found to be the orcisers of race and color prejudice, self only a relic of that past with we are now breaking at so many points with an ease which only a few ago would have seemed incredible. The New York papers commented freely on these answers put forward by Dr. Iyenaga to the question, "Why does not Japan send troops to Europe?" and seemed to find them good and sufficient reasons. But not a single paper has so far made any reference to the very first reason that the speaker advanced: Dr. Iyenaga after his introductory remarks tackled the question by saying: "In the first place, it was neither the wish of her allies nor that of Japan that she would thrust herself upon the European stage. I know that the subject has been discussed by certain publicists in some allied countries, but I have not heard that any formal request by any of the allied Governments has ever been made to Japan to send an expeditionary force to Europe."

"So far as purely military operations are concerned, it seems then, but proper that the war in the Occident should be met by the European and American allies. It is, in fact, none of Japan's business to intrude herself upon the European fields. Such an enterprise is entirely out of harmony with the wise and far sighted policy that should guide Japan, for in so doing she is bound to face the dilemma of either impairing her hard won military prestige or of reawakening the cry of 'yellow peril,' which is now fortunately on the point of being committed to oblivion. It would on the other hand, be a mark of discourtesy, to use a mild word, on the part of Japan to think of sending her troops for the assistance of her European allies." A Reporter.

As I said, the papers made no reference to the reasons contained in the paragraphs quoted just above, but do they not lie somewhere near the bottom of the matter? Has not Japan cause to feel that at the beginning of the war the Allies were averse to having a nation of brown men take equal part with them as "brothers in arms?" And now is it not natural that she should feel that "it is none of Japan's business to intrude herself upon the European fields?" Dr. Lyenaga expressed himself very politely and debacately, but it is not difficult to read between the lines. A Historic Dessert.

The Concord Baptist Sunday School, Brooklyn, devoted the entire session last Sunday afternoon to a special program in honor of Superintendent N. B. Dodson, who has founded out twenty-five years of service in that capacity. The attendance was large and the audience was enthusiastic. Assistant superintendent W. K. Taylor presided and Mrs. Mary A. Parsons directed the music. Miss Ida B. Henderson, general secretary, exhibited a big batch of letters from various institutions and individuals, congratulating the superintendent on his work. Among the institutions heard from were the Hampton Institute, World's Sunday School Convention, the Tuskegee Institute and the National Baptist Publishing Board. Junior superintendent A. R. Walsh read the 91st Psalm and the invocation was made by James H. Hubert, head of the young men and boys' department. Mrs. A. E. Calloway, who has been a teacher in the school for about thirty years, spoke on the early career of the superintendent and his struggles to perfect a higher standard of teaching and business management in the school. She referred to him as a school boy who sold books and papers to pay his way through Wayland Seminary at Washington. Graham H. Carter, who has been a Sunday School teacher for thirty-seven years, delivered a timely address on Mr. Dodson as a Sunday School business man and showed by figures that under the superintendent's administration the school had raised $14,335 and spent for supplies $11,000 and had given to the church $3,000. Secretary R. M. Meroney of the Y. M. C. A. paid a glowing tribute to the superin- bendent as an citizen. Chairman Edward L. Faulcon of the board of trustees praised Mr. Dodson's work as an organizer as shown by the grading of the school. A. J. Carey of Plainfield, N. J., vicepresident of the New England Baptist Sunday School Convention brought greetings from that body as did Miss Violet A. Johnson of Summit, and Mr. Jordan of Elizabeth, from their respective schools. Miss Johnson was a teacher in the school for three years soon after the present superintendent took charge. Her remarks were reminiscent and evoked applause. Pastor William M. Moss was at his best in speaking of the success of the school and its larger possibilities. He closed his speech by presenting Mr. Dodson with a snug sum of money, the gift of the church. FLEET STREET CHURCH Sunday was the close of the rally at the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Brooklyn, and large and enthusiastic congregations were in attendance at all the services. Dr. P. A. Wallace, the pastor, prescheduled an inspiring and helpful sermon at the morning hour from the subject, "The Christian a New Creature." Dr. F. M. Jacobs, the presiding elder, preached in the afternoon a strong sermon, and administered the holy communion to a large congregation. The sermon at the evening hour was preached by Bro. H. Wilson, one of the local preachers. Seven persons came forward and united with the church. The total collections amounted to $3,504.68, which is a record-breaker for Fleet Street Church. Fleet Street Church will now conduct a great campaign for souls, beginning next Sunday and closing Dec. 9. Their slogan is, "Two Hundred" Men and Women for Christ." The meetings will be conducted by the Rev. F. D. Douglas, of Indianapolis, a noted evangelist. **BOOTH, HERES, BONES, lucky stones,** 250, B. R. Wester, Bc 114 Mary-street, Ala. Nov. 8-14.
