W. W. Brown, pastor, and listened to a business proposition submitted by Watt Terry, the big real estate operator. The mass meeting, which was not only large but enthusiastic, was presided over by Fred R. Moore. Among those to take part in the speaking and to endorse Mr. Terry's plans were the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, the Rev. W. H. Brooks, the Rev. G. H. Sims, the Rev. J. W. Brown, the Rev. W. W. Brown, Frank H. Gilbert and M. P. Saunders. The Right Quintet, composed of Messrs. Thomas, Tisdale, Loguen, Smith and Lightfoot, of the Cef Club, furnished the musical treat. Mr. Terry told his plans in his usual unpretentious and forceful manner and made a most favorable impression. Speaking as a successful real estate operator he told his hearers talt by cooperation members of the race could invest in real estate and make money, provided, of course, that the business was conducted along safe and practical lines. In order to take over Watt Terry's equity in the six elevator apartment houses at 117 to 37 West 141st street, and from 130 to 148 West 42nd street, the Terry Holding Company, a New York corporation capitalized at $750,000, has been formed. These are the largest and finest houses owned and occupied by Negroes in the world. Under the personal supervision of Mr. Terry every apartment in these splendid properties has been ented at a reduced rental and there is a long waiting list. Mr. Terry stated that high class elevator apartment houses for colored people are no longer an experiment, and that the Harlem section offers more magnificent opportunities for successful investment than is true of any other section in Manhattan, and where reasonable profits may be made as well as comfortable housing conditions obtained at reasonable rentals. In order to secure available funds for immediate investment in similar property, where values are low, he said, the Terry Company has decided ed to offer one-thir, or $250,000 worth of its capital stock to the colored public at the par value of $10 a share. Many men and women who attended the meeting were convinced of the practicability of such a plan and announced intentions of becoming a stockholder in the Terry Holding Company. The office of the company is located at 127 West 141st street. PIONEER ASSN.

N. C.-Every teacher of the Slater State Normal School took a Liberty Bond, making this body subscribe over one thousand dollars worth for the use of Uncle Sock Age Capt. Vertner W. Tandy, commander of the Fifteenth Battalion, was doubly honored this week, first receiving a communication from Adjutant General Sherrill that he had been commissioned a Major in the New York Guard, and later being informed by Brigadier General Dyer of the First Brigade that he had been appointed a mustering officer to muster in men for the New York Guard. Both appointments are out of the ordinary in that Major Tandy is the first Negro to be commissioned a Major or to be entrusted to the important work of mustering men for military service in the Empire State. Major Tandy envisions the distinction of having been the first Negro to pass military examination in the State and was the first of his race to be commissioned lieutenant in the crack Fifteenth Regiment. He is well up in military matters and is an architect by profession. All the officers under Major Tandy will be colored, and already have been selected and approved by the Brigade Commander. Company B was mustered in the New York Guard Thursday, November 22 at the installation's armory on which occasion Brigadier General Geo. R. Dyer, Colonel C. J. Ahern and Capt. James P. Aakin were present. The mustering in of the Fifteenth Battalion Band will be held Sunday, December 2, at the armory, 132nd street and Seventh avenue at 2 o'clock. The band, composed of forty musicians will be under the direction of Bandmaster Fred Simpson. A band concert will be given and J. Rosamond Johnson, James W. Johnson, Mrs. Lelia Aobinson and other representatives of the Circle for Negro Relief will take part. PYTHIANS GET LICENSE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) WASHINGTON, D.

TO DINE CAMP UPTON BOYS Rocky Mountain Club will Have 9 on Bunner Guests and Provide Dinners for 200, while W. B. Board of Union League Club will Punish Dinners for 150. Nearly four hundred colored drafted men, now under the command of Colonel Moss at Camp Upton, will be guests of public-spirited white citizens in New York on Thanksgiving day. Among them unmarried hosts will be Mr. will entertain fifty loyal Negroes at dinner at the Straus residence, 27 West Seventy-second street. At the Rocky Mountain Club, 65 W. 44th street, Secretary Herbert Wall and his associates will manifest a spirit of true democracy by giving a dinner to three hundred soldiers and sailors. It will be a most democratic gathering, the diners to be drafted men from every section of the country and soldiers of the allies now in this country. Nine Negroes will be present. At the expense of the Rocky Mountain Club, one hundred of Colonel Moss' boys will feast on turkey and other Thanksgiving delicacies, seventy-five of whom will eat at The Devan, 253 W. 137th street, and twenty-five at Watkin's Restaurant, 148 W. 142nd street. At the Libary, 149 W. 193th street, 150 more will eat to their heart's content, the guests of W. B. Dowd of the Union League Club. The Rocky Mountain Club has been most active in making preparations to give our soldiers and sailors and those of our allies enjoyable Thanksgiving. The club is known far and wide for its generosity, and John Hays Hammond, its president, was one of the first to subscribe one hundred dollars to the Thanksgiving fund. Mr. Straus Lauds Negro Soldiers. Mr Straus decided to have colored soldiers at his home for dinner on Thanksgiving after his attention had been called to the extensive plans being made by the Rocky Mountain Club to provide the drafted men with a good Thanksgiving dinner, and he first made known his intentions in the following communication: Mr. H. Wall, Secretary, Rocky Mountain Club, 65 W. 44th St., City. My Dear Mr. Wall: Already before receipt of your first communication I had made up my mind to entertain some of "our boys" at my home at Thanksgiving. And as I suspect that the colored soldiers and sailors may not be so well remembered for this occasion, I choose them as my preferred guests. The bravery and patriotism they displayed whenever our democracy was imperilled, entitles them to the highest degree of respect and admiration. Will you assign to me not more than fifty nor less than forty for this, our national Thanksgiving Day, to be at my residence, 27 W. 72nd street, at one o'clock. Louis V. Bell, 80 Broadway, has given a check for three hundred dollars to be used in helping provide a Thanksgiving dinner for colored soldiers and sailors, wrote: November 17, 1917. Mr. H. Wall, Deer Sir: I enclose my cheek for $300 to your order. Kindly use the same to provide a Thanksgiving dinner for 100 of our colored troops and sailors. I estimate the diners at. $2 per man and $1 car fare per man The American Federation of Labor is making extensive parations to win over the colored wage-earner to the cause of organized labor. This fact has been admitted by Samuel Gompers, the ideologist of the American Federation of Labor, in a letter to The Age defining the organization's position on the subject. When word was received by The Age last week that the American Federation of Labor, in session at Buffalo, N.Y., had voted to organize the colored workers, Mr. Gompers was asked by this paper if the move was a sincere one; if it meant the giving of the Negro a square deal in every particular, Negroes being somewhat distrustful of organized labor as it had not shown much consideration for the colored workingman in the past. Although every minute of Mr. Gomper's time was taken up with important matters throughout the session of the convention, the labor leader saw fit to promptly reply to The Age as follows: if the funds of the Federation permit. The report of the committee adopted. It is reported that the work of organizing Negroes in the South will be ended at once. DR. A. C. POWELL 25 YEARS IN MINISTRY Nearly twelve-hundred persons attended the 25th anniversary celebration. Your letter of the 20th instant is received and contents noted. In reply let me call your attention to the provisions of the well-known declaration of the American Federation of Labor providing for the organization of all wage-earners, irrespective of breed, color, race or nationality." The constitution of the A. F. of L. also provides, Section 6, Article XI, as follows: Dec. 6. Article XI—Separate charter may be issued to Central Labor Council, local union or Free Trade Union movement to do so. In the judgment of the Executive Council, it appears advisable and to the best interests of the Trade Union movement to do so. There are many colored wage earners who hold membership in the unions affiliated to the A. F. of L. The constitution provides for the organization of separate unions of colored workers when that may be deemed advisable and to the best advantage of the workers themselves, as well as to the general labor movement. Provision is also made for the organization of separate central labor unions when that course is deemed wisest. There are several central bodies now affiliated to the A. F. of L. whose delegates represent local unions of colored workers only. We are doing our level best to organize wage earners whether white or colored and we shall continue in that course. You may be interested in a discussion which occurred on the floor of the convention of the A. F. of L. now in session in this city, upon resolution regarding the organization of colored workers. Copy of the seventh day's proceedings of the convention is enclosed herein. You will find the resolutions and discussion on Page 278. I should like to write you at greater length upon the subject, but you will appreciate of course how crowded the room is owing to the work of the convention. The resolution to which Mr. Gomper makes reference in his letter reads: Resolution No. 58—By Delegates Walter Green, T. B. Henry, James E. Cousins, John L. Price, William N. Chavis: WHEREAS, The colored delegates representing the local unions affiliated directly with the American Federation of Labor in the State of Virginia, having thoroughly examined the situation of organized labor and the elements that must go into the workings, so as to place its benefits within the reach of all its members without regard to race or color, and feeling that the interest of the cause would be greatly improved if the colored organizers were given a place in the workings of the American Federation of Labor, of organizing additional local unions; therefore, be it RESOLVED. That we, the colored delegates of directly affiliated local unions of the State of Virginia do hereby request this convention to grant and recommend that colored organizers be appointed or elected, according to the convention's rulings, and placed especially in Virginia at the following cities where organizing is greatly needed: Roanoke, Richmond, Rocky Mount, Portsmouth, Norfolk and Suffolk, Va.; Raleigh, N. C., and Jacksonville, Fla., or any city where organizers may be needed. These cities named are working at a low rate of wages per diem and need the services and advantages of American Federation of Labor organizers. It is reported that the work of occupying Negroes in the South will be completed at once. Nearly twelve hundred persons attended the 25th anniversary celebration of the ordination of the ministry of Rev. A. Clayton Powell, held at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Bremen evening, November 20. An interment and entertaining program was held out, the Rev. William M.

Dr. Powell was ordained to the gospel ministry October 4, 1892, in the Third Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. His first call was to the First Baptist Church, San Diego, Cal., but finally, accepted the bishop's Baptist Church, Philadelphia, where he served for one year and was then called to the pastorate of the Immanuel Baptist Church, New Haven, Conn., where for fifteen and a half years he preached with much success. The membership was increased from 135 to 625, the church building was remodeled at a cost of $10,000, every cent of which was paid within two years. In 1908, Dr. Powell resigned his charge at New Haven to accept a call to 'the Abyssinian Baptist Church of this city. During his nine years' pastorate of this large congregation 2,200 persons have been added to the membership and $26,000 paid on the indebtedness. The Abyssinian Baptist Church is considered the wealthiest Negro Baptist Church in America, having under its control about $350,000 worth of property and an enrolled membership of 3,300. During the year Abyssinian has taken in $12,036 in church offerings. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) WASHINGTON, D. C. - Bridgidier General C. C.

Despite the hardships of wartime, The Age artist in the cartoon printed this week shows that the Negro in America has many things for which to give thanks on the day of Thanksgiving of 1917. Chief among these in its far-reaching effect is the affirmation by the United States Supreme Court of the right to our homes—though it may be thought a trifle far-fetched for such a decision to be required in "the land of the Free." Nevertheless, with the right to property secure, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" should also be guaranteed to all citizens. The recognition afforded the Negro in the Army is a great gain in the number of officers and enlisted men, and has already increased the moral standing of the race in public esteem. The opening of industrial opportunities, recognition by labor unions and general material advancement are all subjects for satisfaction and gratefull appreciation. While much remains to be gained, the Negro can join in the rendering of thanks and praise this year with genuine emotion. REMOVING A REPROACH It has been a matter of reproach to the Negro people as a race that they have too often been unmindful of the efforts and achievements of their pioneers and leaders, and in consequence slow to accord their memory suitable memorials. However this reproach bids fair to be removed in some measure by two developments of the past year. The first of these was the movement inaugurated through the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs to preserve the former home of Frederick Douglass at Cedar Hill in the District of Columbia, as a memorial to the Sage of Anacostia. Substantial progress has been made in the.collection of funds for that purpose and the mortgage on the property partially cleared off. The second note of encouragement in this regard is the statement found in the annual report of the Principal of Tuskegee Institute to the Board of Trustees. Referring to the monument to be erected to Booker Washington, his successor, Dr. Moton, says: "It is a very great pleasure to say in connection with what Mr. Willcox has stated about the monument to be erected on the Institute grounds that this money will come out of the sum contributed to the Memorial Fund by the Negroes. The colored people have maintained a steady interest in the Memorial Fund, and while their individual contributions have not been large, the number of organizations and persons who have contributed is most encouraging. The total amount received to June 9, as reported by Mr. Scott, is $20,073, which with the amount outstanding in reasonably reliable pledges, will bring the final sum of about $25,000. It is interesting to note that 12,355 individuals and organizations contributed the sum already reported." Without overestimating the work accomplished in the raising of these two memorials, it can be noted as a creditable beginning in way of perpetuating the memory of those men who have blazed the way for the rank and file of the race in its upward struggle toward the light. May the number of those who feel it a duty, and a privilege to take part in such movements increase. PARTIALITY IN THE NAVY. The Hon. Josephus Daniels, formerly a newspaper editor of North Carolina, has won deserved recognition as the most sympathetic and kind hearted ruler of a navy since the days of Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., made famous in the opera of "Pinafore." Secretary Daniels has not only manifested his deep sympathy with the enlisted men by establishing schools for their benefit, but he has saved the officers from the temptations of the flowing bowl and red liquor in general. His latest exhibition of sympathy, however, is in behalf of the Negroes from his own section, whom he evidently wishes to exempt from the hardships of the engine room. As this can only be accomplished at the expense of the white men from the South, we fear that this partiality may cause some dissatisfaction. However the attempt to give the softer job to the Negroes is plainly set forth in a letter sent to the editors of certain Southern papers by Lieut: J. E. Meredith, recruiting officer at Montgomery, Ala. The solicitude manifested in behalf of the darker race is set forth in the following paragraphs: Notice has been received by this office that the Navy urgently needs several thousand firemen. The quota for this district has been set at sixty, which number must be recruited by December 15th. As the battle efficiency of the fleet depends on the men in the firerooms, you will readily see that the Navy will be greatly handcapped unless these men are enlisted very soon. The men good and there are excellent forces for promotion. ONLY WHITE MEN of good physique, between the ages of 21 and 35 are desired. The Navy also needs about fifteen hundred Negro mess attendants to serve as OFFICERS' SERVANTS. This is a very desirable billet for a colored man and no trouble is contemplated in raising our quota of twenty-five provided they receive notice of the vacancies. Now, while the Negroes of Alabama, as well as the rest of the South, will appreciate the Secretary's kind intentions at their true value, we are quite sure that they are asking no exemption from the more laborious and exacting duties of the Navy. They possess a physique equal to that of the whites and are just as able to fire the engines. They are not begging for the exclusive right to the soft snaps as mess attendants and officers' servants. They are willing to do their bit in every line of duty required on the modern war vessel. It is not necessary to put all the hard work on the whites. Let the blacks have some of the hardships and take their turn at the shovel. The Navy Department should investigate the methods adopted by its neighbor, the War Department, in its treatment of the Negroes enlisted in the service. Equality of selection, training and service have been found to work well with the land forces of the country, and there is no reason why it should not do the same on the sea. Adopt the policy of Paul Jones, the first admiral and the father of the American Navy. Put all the fighting men that go to sea on the same plane, with no reservation of soft snaps for one race or the other. The Negro is not asking for any special favors, only for his share of the "real Democracy," that the world is fighting for. A WELCOME RECRUIT. The cause of law and order has received a distinguished recruit in the person of the Hon. William There is such a thing, as absence of knowledge, and there is also such a thing as knowing ignorance. One is negative and the other is positive. One implies not being in possession of the truth, and the other implies being in possession of untruth. Of the two, the latter is more harmful; in fact, it is absolutely dangerous. A striking example of "knowing ignorance" comes to us from the Morning Journal, published at Key West, Fla. We gather that there is soon to be held in that city an election for members of the municipal council. In the Fourth Ward the great majority of citizens are colored. Several white candidates entered the race, and things were running along merrily until there came one, John Wake, colored, who felt that he had a right to aspire to represent the Fourth Ward. Wake's presumption caused consternation, and the white candidates put their heads together with the result that all of them withdrew except Charlie Maloney, who is now the "white hope" in the contest. The Morning Journal is advocating the election of Maloney and is, of course, fighting Wake. The plane on which it is conducting its campaign may be seen from the following sentences: "This paper has always believed in giving the Negro his rights, but among those rights we do not recognize a seat in the city council of Key West." "We are willing to do for the Negro, but we want the Negro in his place." This southernmost editor in the United States then goes on to say: For six thousand years the Negro owned an entire continent. He made there his own laws and not one of them all can be found that is worthy to be preserved. He worshipped his own gods and not one among them comes down to posterity. He fought his own battles, war being an almost natural state with the race for the hundreds of centuries—and not one weapon did he fashion that was above the primitive state. All kinds of timbers grew around him and not a house that could stand the elements marks his journey thru the years. On his continent were the richest diamond mines of the world and not one of them saw the sparkle until the white man came. As an example of the supreme ignorance of the history of civilization, this cannot be excelled. Here is a man who, because native African culture to-day is not equal to that of Europe, argues that Africans and people of African descent have never been and never can be civilized. He begins to show how much ignorance he knows by stating that the Negro has owned Africa "for six thousand years." Why does he stop at six thousand years? Because he still holds in his undeveloped brain the notion that the world was created six thousand years ago. To hold the view that because a people are not to-day in the advance guard of civilization, they never were there, would be to deny that the people of Egypt, of Arabia, of Assyria and of Persia ever belonged to that advance guard; it would even throw doubts on the past position of Greece, of Italy and of Spain. To say that the people of Africa can never reach the highest culture because they are not at that point to-day has no more weight than a similar statement which might have been made a couple of thousand years ago about the peoples of northern Europe. Before this southernmost editor in the United States undertakes to write on such a subject, he should pursue his studies a little beyond what he reads in the magazine sections of the Sunday newspapers. Let him read Volney and learn that religion and the priesthood system were originated and developed by the Negro. Let him read Schweinfurth and Von Luschan and Boaz and Torday, and learn that the smelting of iron was invented by the Negro. On this point Torday says: "I feel convinced by certain arguments that seem to prove to my satisfaction that we are indebted to the Negro for the very keystone of our modern civilization and that we owe to him the discovery of iron." Let our Key West editor look on the Negroid features of the Sphinx. Let him study the monuments at Memphis and Thebes in the upper valley of the Nile. If he will do these things, he will learn that the Negro in Africa was once the torch bearer of civilization. He will learn that the Negro in Africa was giving the first thought given by the human mind to the arts, to science and to religion, while the people of northern Europe were covered with hair, living in caves and gnawing on raw bones. He might also reflect upon this truth: All things in the universe move in a circle. WHO IS THE ENEMY? A despatch from Montgomery ored soldier of the Ninth Separa Guard training at Camp Sherid against a white woman in a cro A despatch from Montgomery, Ala., last week stated that a colored soldier of the Ninth Separate Battalion of the Ohio National Guard training at Camp Sheridan, near that city, who brushed against a white woman in a crowded street car, was seized by a Jennings Bryan, three times the candidate of the Democratic party for the presidency. The outrage which evoked Mr. Bryan's declaration through a headline in his paper, the Commoner, pronouncing "Mob Law Intolerable," was the horse whipping of a minister by a Kentucky mob. The victim was presumably a white man, but that does not affect the truth of the utterance. example should encourage other presidential possibilities to arraign themselves on the side of law and order. We would suggest that a fitting memorial be established to the late William Alpheus Hunton in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association work, with which he was so intimately connected. November 20 marked the first anniversary of Mr. Hunton's death and it is none too early Mr. Bryan stigmatizes the act as "an offense against which every patriotic citizen should protest." He also lays down the following definition, which will hardly admit of dispute: "Democracy is not mob rule, it is a people's government administered according to the constitution and the laws." Of course, it is not likely that Mr. Bryan will again become the candidate of his party for the presidency, but he still occupies a position of power and influence among the masses of its followers. His , Ala., last week stated that a colle Battalion of the Ohio National an, near that city, who brushed wded street car, was seized by a example should encourage other presidential possibilities to arraign themselves on the side of law and order. We would suggest that a fitting memorial be established to the late William Alpheus Hunton in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association work, with which he was so intimately connected. November 28 marked the first anniversary of Mr. Hunton's death and it is none too early for plans to be formulated for a suitable memorial. The suggestion that steps should be taken to make the Thanksgiving festivities a season of comfort and enjoyment for the soldiers met with a hearty response by individuals and organizations. Plans have been perfected to entertain numbers of them at dinner and in other ways to make the occasion a memorable one for the men at the various camps. The next opportunity to show appreciation of the nation's defenders will come with Christmas tide. Only a few short weeks remain in which to prepare for that celebration. And then there always exists the need for number of white men, thrown into an automobile and hurried out of the city. The despatch went on to state that several score of soldiers of the same battalion started in pursuit. They forcibly commandeered a number of automobiles and started after the white men and their prisoner. In the meantime, all colored soldiers on leave in the town were rounded up and returned to camp. Thirty-five of them were arrested and placed in patrol wagons. It was reported that the arrest of these men brought a protest from Major Caldwell, the colored commander of the battalion, who, according to the statement of the police, declined to order his soldiers back to ramp, insisting that they had as much right on the streets as the civilians. How this incident terminated has not been told. To the Editor of the New York I onclose an editorial which in the Poughkeepsie Evening reason it is sent to you is the an open confession that the Anglo-Saxon was born, whole world is a myth, and time is accusing Germany of which no nation has been ousely grilty than our own, so see fit to comment on it you. If these is any place where dice is more conspicuous and by any except those who are I do not know where you. Perhaps, this German, who bring some blessings as we misery, and one of the grings that will have attended the awakening of the so-c A few days later, a young colored man who had earned his commission as a lieutenant at the Officers' Training Camp at Des Moines went home for a short visit to his parents in Mississippi. He was obliged to flee the town in disguise; the white citizens declaring that they would allow "no nigger to wear a uniform that a white man was bound to honor."' What we want to know is, whom do these unreconstructed Southern rebels, who only fifty years ago were firing on the flag of the nation, think the country is at war with, the Germans or loyal colored American citizens who honorably wear the uniform? We should like to hear the President and the War Department inform them. THERE IS ALSO A NAVY. the last six months, colored Americans have of attention to the status of colored men in the fight for colored officers. There has now what once seemed to be the policy of the wearing of colored men from the fighting units, ring of them to more or less menial service in the. In a word, the American Negro has been very jealously old and hard-won standing as a result of these efforts and this vigilance, we young officers, as fine as any that the army of education, character and ability. We are scripts organized as a part of the fighting men not set aside as a class to do their bit by me and so the War Department has been jack-assembling justice. There is still much the distance, the Government through the War. It is plain that it expects every man in the same consideration as every other man, will tolerate nothing less; such a definite mandate to the attitude and actions of a cee army. But on the whole, and taking into hope of expecting six months ago, Secretary department deserve credit. What about Secretary Daniels and the navy? Are they truly that we have boys in the navy? It is so this because of the manner in which they have four great regiments in the army, being one of the crack regiments of the war, serve to keep alive and fresh the glorious men in this country. Nothing like this exists. Nevertheless, colored men have taken up which the United States has fought. The make Erie and they were with Dewey at Manila Active gunners in the Battle of Manila Bay, the earliest times, down to within recent years able seamen, and gunners in the navy. Wanted in the navy except as servants, taken at once to remedy this condition. Negro's record in the navy, although not so wowous as his record in the army, is nevertheless our boys who are serving at sea shore efforts equally with our boys who are serving should be done to make Secretary Department do correspondingly as much as has a taker and the War Department. During the last six months, colored Americans have been paying a good deal of attention to the status of colored men in the army. There has been the fight for colored officers. There have been protests against what once seemed to be the policy of the Government, the excluding of colored men from the fighting units of the army and the limiting of them to more or less menial service in connection with the war. In a word, the American Negro has been watching and guarding very jealously old and hard-won standing in the army. As a result of these efforts and this vigilance, we have over six hundred young officers, as fine as any that the army can show; young men of education, character and ability. We also have the colored conscripts organized as a part of the fighting machine of the nation, and not set aside as a class to do their bit by raising cotton and corn. And so the War Department has been jacked up to do something resembling justice. There is still much that should be done; for instance, the Government through the War Department ought to make it plain that it expects every man in the service to be treated with the same consideration as every other man of like grade, and that it will tolerate nothing less; such a definite order would put an immediate end to the attitude and actions of a certain element of men in the army. But on the whole, and taking into account how little we had hope of expecting six months ago, Secretary Baker and the War Department deserve credit. But what about Secretary Daniels and the navy? Are we going to forget entirely that we have boys in the navy? It is somewhat natural to do this because of the manner in which the army is organized. We have four great regiments in the army, one of them, the Tenth, being one of the crack regiments of the world. These regiments serve to keep alive and fresh the glorious military record of the Negro in this country. Nothing like this exists or can exist in the navy. Nevertheless, colored men have taken part in every great sea fight which the United States has fought. They were with Perry on Lake Erie and they were with Dewey at Manila. One of the most effective gunners in the Battle of Manila Bay was a Negro. From the earliest times, down to within recent years, colored men have been able seamen, and gunners in the navy. Now, colored men are not wanted in the navy except as servants. Some action should be taken at once to remedy this condition. The Negro's record in the navy, although not so well known or so conspicuous as his record in the army, is nevertheless just as glorious. And our boys who are serving at sea should get the benefit of our efforts equally with our boys who are serving on land. Something should be done to make Secretary Daniels and the Navy Department do correspondingly as much as has been done by Secretary Baker and the War Department. THE EAST ST. LOUIS RIOT CASES. All of the riot cases at East St. Louis goes queues to grind out sentences. On Saturday, convicted, one of them being Richard Broc- t of the East St. Louis Suburban Railwa- way's sentence at five years' imprisonment. In Tish was sentenced to five years and John two others were acquitted. All are white. The trial of the riot cases at East St. Louis goes on and the court continues to grind out sentences. On Saturday three more rioters were convicted, one of them being Richard Brockway, former special agent of the East St. Louis Suburban Railway. The jury fixed Brockway's sentence at five years' imprisonment and a fine of $1,000. John Tish was sentenced to five years and John Johnson to one year. Two others were acquitted. All are white. One hundred and forty-four persons were indicted as a result of the East St. Louis riots; and thus far, nineteen have been given penitentiary sentences. Ten of these are colored and nine are white. So up to date, the colored people, who were the victims of the massacre, having been beaten, shot, hanged and burned, have also gotten the worst of it in the courts. But the majority of the whites who were indicted are yet to be tried, so we must wait and see what the final outcome will be. The greatest interest will be centered in the trial of Dr. Leroy Bunday. Dr. Bunday is a prominent colored citizen of East St. Louis and a prosperous dentist. He is charged with inciting to riot and murder. Although he was not in East St. Louis when the rioting took place, that does not affect the legality of the charge. It is understood that the district attorney will ask for the death sentence in Dr. Bunday's case; the only case in which any such intention has been expressed. Whether or not this is being done to make of this particular man an example and a warning cannot be known; but at any rate this much is true, all of the circumstances make this case not the trial of an individual man, but in a sense, the trial of the race. The N. A. A. C. P. has undertaken the defense of all the colored men charged and convicted in the East St. Louis cases, and in particular the defense of Dr. Bunday, in order that these men may receive every benefit under the law to which they are entitled and that the initial blame for what happened at East St. Louis may not be laid upon the Negro. The organization is making a nation-wide appeal, and should receive the united support and cooperation of the THE AMERICAN SAXON MYTH To the Editor of the New York I enclose an editorial which appears in the Poughkeepsie Evening Star. reason it is sent to you is that it is an open confession that the doctrine the Anglo-Saxon was born to rule whole world is a myth, and at the time is accusing Germany of something of which no nation has been more not- ously grilty than our own, so that if you sit to comment on it you can do If there is any place where race pride is more conspicuous and unreliable by any except those who suffer from I do not know where you will find Perhaps, this German, world, war bring some blessings as well as misery, and one of the greatest things that will have attended it will the awakening of the so-called Aesaxon race to the fact that the Almoran never intended them to lord it over the rest of creation because they had the power to do so, and this ening has, no doubt, been brought by the slow of power and the ability anxiety to fight, on the part of those nations and races which the Anglo-Saxon has long told the world were his feriors, for the principles which nations and races a standing of and respect in the family of GATUS E. BORN Poughkeepsie, M. Y. Following is the clipping from Poughkeepsie Evening Star: THE HOTBED OF RACE PREADICE. For forty years Germany has the hotbed of race prejudice. Teaches of racial superiorities and inferiority was part of the Prussian game was necessary in order to polish German mind with the belief that the foreign people called for domination. Only in Germany were the theories of racial development, pseudo-scientists on the basis of evolution theory and the discovery the Anyan language affinities seriously. What was a wild amusement of faddists in other lands because of German statecraft, education and religion. Germany invented the Yellow It was Blissmack who first voiced idea that Western Europe might author a Tartar invasion.

Germany's forbile seizure of Chinese territory and her coercion of Japan after the Chino-Japanese war in nineteen were justified on the ground thwarting the "Yellow Pest" her men had manufactured. Germany's sheathing grenade anti-Semitism. Jews were discriminated against financially and socially to the very beginning of the war, and was practically impossible for a nation to obtain a commission in the Russian army. It was the Baltic-German clique to the czar's court that issued Russian anti-Semitism and the roma. However it was in Germany the doctrine of the degeneracy of the Jew or Mediterranean-trace was first issued on his violent journey around the world. It is shameful to remember but the German-implanted idea was spread in the United States after Spanish war. Returning students to German universities and readers to Italian universities make it popular. The doctrine is now. It vanished in the battles of the Marne, never to lift its again. At the outbreak of the war German agents in the United States did they could to arouse race prejudice in the United States against the aliens harping on the Japanese and American of India and Britain and France and Britain—while they themselves were arming the lovely Turk his onlaught on Christianity. And now the mask has been strung off the German propaganda of race prejudice. The self-proclaimed champion white supremacist, against the colony of Louisiana," Lalina, has been caught trying to foment a revolt and massacre of the white people of the southern states. Disappointed by the entrance America into the war and the end of the dream of world domination, the German newspapers dominated by the Krupps are demanding for the intre an alliance of Germany, Russia, Japan Turkey and China to establish a world domination and to down the base "Anglo-Saxon" alliance.

(From The Public) Fortunato is the reform that into the hands of a wise man of the sora needs in this country in raising of the standard of the Negro school in the Southern State where the means of education have pitifully inadequate, and where appeared to be no foundation which to build. Outside philanthropy gave money; native whites control service; but they could not work together. The few fine schools in did what they could; but the black lump in the rural districts mained unenlightened. This was the condition when the Jeanes Fund of million dollars was placed at the posel of Dr. James H. Dillard, a Sornerer by birth, an educator of read and a philosopher who understands man nature, both white and black far less means at his disposal than of other well-intending men and who had failed. Dr. Dillard has seen the cooperation of the local school thorities. A capable teacher trained Hampton; Tuskegee, or some school where home industries are tax is sent among the rural schools of county to introduce and supervise modes of instruction, and to hear the local teachers by keeping them touch with the outside, world. The secret of the remarkable success has attended this work lies in the that instead of thrusting these teachers into the community in the grab of fensive charity, they are employed the same name of and are partly by the local boards, so that of the supervising teachers now working in many counties, each one has come the work at the invitation of the co-superintendent. Dr. Dillard has only done the Negro a service, but has demonstrated anew the fact the reformer can make better heady by working with those he would see than by working against them. --- Washington Bureau, WASHINGTON, D.

WALTON) AST fall it was Frederick Douglass Pollard of Brown, who shone forth as the most important of football stars. I now pleasure in introducing to you Paul Robeson of Rutger's Col. New Jersey, another gentleman of color, who has become the nation of the present football team. For two successive years Negro has carried off the high-banners on the gridiron, which, the vernacular of the turf, "is our name." Mason has been playing a great game throughout the season, but he has emblaron his name in the public hall of fame alongside those William H. Lewis, Matthews, Hard and Drew until last Satur-day when he played the most promi- part in helping his eleven de- the Naval Reserves from Newby by the score of 14 to 0 at Ebene Field, Brooklyn. Led by "Cupid" Black, the Naval navy eleven, known as the most capable in the country, came to metropolis feeling very chesty. The sailors had buried in defeat down, Harvard and every oppon- they had met. The surprise occurred them by the New Jersey- therefore, was a big one. Referring to Robeson as a marshal the Brooklyn *Eagle* lauds the skill of the colored player by saying, "Robeson, the colored lad, who held the left wing of the New Brunswick, was a marvel in his position. Nothing seemed to escape him. He clearly responsible for the games around the end and he it who intercepted the forward line that the Newport men tried to do. He furnished excellent interception or was through the line to the impact if his opponents had killed. Robeson seemed to be every inch once." Under the caption, "Dashing Robeson Humbles Black's Noted Warriors," the New York *Tribune* describes the part the Rutger's star played in the following manner: a tall, tapering Negro in faded sweater, moleskins, and a pair worn maroon socks ranged hither and on a wind-whipped Flatbush field day afternoon. He rode on the sides of the frigid breezes; a grim, sixt and compelling figure. Whether it Charlie Barrett, of old Cornell, and American glory, or Gerrish or other who tried to hurl himself through a moiling gauntlet, he was met stopped by this blaze of red and blue. The Negro was Paul Robeson, of Peters College, and he is a minister's He is also nineteen years of age weighs two hundred pounds. Of football capacity you are duly rea- tured to Capitol Black, of Newport and He can tell you. It was Robe- a veritable Othello of battle, who the dashing little Rutgers eleven to 9 victory over the widely her- Newport Naval Reserves. veterans in football experience, found in its fantastic and multiform and popularly designated as the most football eleven in the United States, the thick-set naval warriors down from Newport yesterday in victory and added glory bent. They trimmed Brown and Harvard, and the smooth-skinned youths from banks of the Raritan could stop well, it was beyond belief. But it wasn't. The Navy's last tradition of impressiveness faded their signal practice was done and referees' whistle blew on the opening kick. After Foster Sanford's ghost-foot-machine ran the Navy ends and ran her bulking line and, in other words, gave Dr. Bull, 'Cupid' Black, et al as pretty a drubbing as you please. The Navy was perplexed and then by this amazing actuality; then was enveloped completely in the tracce of Rutger's perfected attack, and it blindly and wrathfully to stave a hop-sided defeat. "And as a thorn in her flesh the tall, barring Robeson, commanding Rutger's boundary, dived under and spilled her body, oblique angled runs, turned back and line plunges and carried the burden of the defence so splendidly that in four minutes these ex-All-American men, who are fixed luminaries in the mythology of the gridiron, made precise two first downs. "Offensively the Navy was even more of a bloomer than she was on the defense. Rutgers picked off the primitive interference proffered Charlie Barrett, and the fast-stepping Ilaca boy could not get started. "Among the original tactical manpower in Rutger's attack is the calling of Robeson to open holes for the backfield. He is shifted by signal from left to whatever spot along the line has been pre-selected for an assault. Thus considerable of Rutger's line drives were upon the basis of Robeson's superiority to Black. Schlacter, Callahan or somewhere he fleed." At the close of the contest Robe lson and Whitehill, left end and full back for the New Jersey team, who scored the only touchdowns of the game; were carried off the field by a wildly serpentine mob of rooters. P. S.-The above paragraph, in fact, the entire article, is respectfully referred to Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels for perusal. THE "Song of Songs", which ran eighteen months at the Eugene Theatre to big business, revived our week's attraction at the Lafayette Theatre. The story of tense interest and full furrow. Lily Kordes, poor and friendless, is employed as a salesgirl in a boarding walk bazaar in Atlantic City. Richard Laird, the son of a misonaire truly loves her, but Senator Calkine marries her and installs her as mistress of his fine estate at Tarrytown, N. Y. The girl is the daughter of a Greek cian, an intellectual vagabond. There is something in the blood. But Lily guarded from too strong temptation would be a good wife. She even forms a sort of childish affection for the elderly Senator. But Laird cannot forbear her and the Senator's housekeeper, his former mistress, is waiting to bring her successor, to a fall. Laird comes there at midnight and with the Senator prepared by the housekeeper. Laird is surprised there, and the really innocent little wife is driven from her home. Thereafter she has a "career," she becomes the mistress of Laird, but presently her first real love awakens for Stephen Bennett, who is mad about her. She tries to send him away, and tells him the worst her past life; but Bennett is too infatuated to heed. She promises to become his wife. Although Laird is almost prostrated by the blow, he is too good a sport to stand in her way, although he offers to mary her himself. The big scene comes when Bennett and Lily are in a room at a fashionable restaurant with the rich seafaring uncle of the youth to celebrate the engagement. The uncle finds that his nephew's angel is known to all the waiters in the restaurant. His suspicions are aroused and confirmed by a talk with the headwaiter. He tried to save his nephew but the youth rebuys him. It is then the old tar decides to test her, by pllying her wine and cocktails he soon makes Lily betray herself. She loses her balance, and the seed of her evil associations hears fruit in extravagances which shock her pure minded adorer. When Lily awakes the next morning she is again in Laurd's bedroom, with the 'consciousness that she has found "the song of songs" only to lose it. But Laurd is still her slave. He has calculated on her return and she has come sooner than he expected. The play takes its title from the incident in the "Life of Lily Kardes," in which the late father leaves as his only inheritance a song written by him. In it he bids her seek love as the one possession in life worth attaining. In the company presenting this great play, Abbie Mitchell, Tom Brown, Lawrence Chenuk, Chaz, Olden, Wm. "Babe" Townsend, Susie Sutton, Inez Clough, Lillian Gillam, Alice Gorgas, J. Francis Mores, A. B. de Comettiere, Will A. Cooke and Cha, Taylor. HARLEM CHORUS SINGS Mme. R. Axalla Hackley lived up to her reputation as a choral director and an instructor in voice culture when, on Tuesday evening, she presented the Harlem Chorus in an enjoyable folk song festival given at the Washington Irving High School. Mme. Hackley's ability to take a large number of untrained singers and soon wield them into a creditable chorus was fully demonstrated at Tuesday's entertainment, for only last October was the Harlem Chorus organized, and in one month she succeeded in developing an organization that evoked enthusiastic applause from the good-sized audience which listened to the inspiring and intelligent rendition of folk songs and anthems. Another interesting feature of the program was the address of John C. Freud, editor of Musical America. He stated that because of the war music would be needed more than ever before, and that after the European conflict when some would be left dead on the battle field and others returned home crippled for life, music would be one of the chief factors to inspire and give cheer. Mr. Freud said that the folk song was attracting more attention than ever and that more attention is being given them by their originators. Among those who took part in the festival were Mrs. Emily Globbs, Mrs. Amanda Green, Mrs. Dorca Askow, C. Carroll Clark, Hilda Ballpy, Dorothy Dix, Lilla Edwards, Edith Illidge, Amanda Green, May Tucker, Ella Berry, Genevieve Craig, Cleota J. Collins, Bessie Cooker, Mrs. Virginia Carpenter, James Edwards, Yilliam F. Hoskins, Allothla Bagley, Marlon Bagley, O. Craig, Stephen Turpin, John C. Graves, L. E. McCall, W. O. Hudson, James Williams, G. Andrews, Arthur Johnson, J. Abrama, Alfred Christopher, H. Tucker, S. Glddings, J. E. Edwards, G. Malbrie, Clarence M. Flarly, Anno Lowls and M. E. Debney. The choir numbers were conducted by Mrs. Hadley, with Mrs. Cheota J. Collins at the piano and L. Franklin Dyer at the organ. "The Gypsy," a duet, was pleasingly rendered by Mme. Hackley and Miss Collins. There is a wonderful field in Harlem for the organization of a big community chorus, and it seems as if Mme. Hackley and her Harlem Chorus are going to take advantage of this great opportunity to show the musical world with a large Negro chorus really can do. I. C. U. "STRING BEANS" DEAD. Harlem theatregroves were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Butler May, better known in the theatrical circles as "String Beans," who died in Jacksonville, Fla., November 16, after The Late BUTLER MAY. sustaining, injuries in a lodge room, according to reports. The deceased was born in Montgomery, Ala., twenty-eight years ago. He was a big drawing card in colored theatres, in fact the biggest box-office attraction these houses had. Like Charlie Chaplin "String Beans" legs were his chief asset, and despite the fact that there were times when his comedy was too coarse when irresponsible managers ordered him to "turn it on," he was undoubtedly a funny comedian and possessed of no little ability to entertain. CLARENCE BOWEN DEAD. Clarence Bowen, a member of the erstwhile team of Brooks and Rowen died November 16, at the Provident Hospital. Deceased was born in Washington, D. C., nearly 38 years ago. The deceased attracted attention in the "Sunny South" act over ten years ago and later put, out his own vaudeville turn, known as the "Georgia Campers," which went abroad and met with success. Later he joined hands with Shelton Brooks, and the act received steady work for several seasons over the larger circuits. The remains were brought to New York for interment. Deceased is survived by a father and widow. UNION, 34; PETERSBURG, 0 The Virginian Union University aggregation completed her season by smothering the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute by the overwhelming score of 34 to 0 and not even allowing her opponents a first down. The red and steel line was impenetrable while "Tank" Woods repeatedly tore through the orange and blue line for long gains. It was simply "too much Gregory." The fast little Union buffback was everywhere, slidingtepping, wringing and squirming through every available opening. Union kicked off to Virginia Normal, who, being unable to move the strong Union line, kicked. Here the Unionites by continuous drives carried the ball to the twenty yard line from which place Gregory on a fake play, circle and and scored the first touchdown of the game, but Hudson missed the goal. During the entire game both sides contributed and in this quarter Union receded the ball and by frequent line plumes hurried the oval to the ten yard line where "Monk" Gregory broke through for the second touchdown. Hudson kicked goal. The second half found both squads playing better ball. The visitors received the kick and straitaway marched up the field and scored their tilt touchdown when Hucles went through the line and promptly kicked goal. The orange and blue toys were unable to move on their receive and lost the ball when Taylor, the season's heat end intercepted a pass. The red and steel boys lost the ball but V. N. I. I. failed miserably at an attempt to punish Hucles returned to the three yard line and Johnao carried the ball over. Hucles kicked goal. In this quarter Hucles displayed a beautiful piece of broken field running by receiving a punt and running through the entire Petersburg line for a touchdown only to be brought back on a penalty.

Moseley and one daughter, Miss Marla. Mrs. Mosley was born in Savannah, Ga., about forty-five years ago, but had been a resident of Brooklyn since a child. Interment was made in the family plot in Greenwood Cemetery. Arthur Q. Martin was in charge of the funeral arrangements.
