Services Rendered In Segregation Fight Brought Up By Advancement Association. Seventh Annual Conference of Association Held to New York December 27th to 30th — Prepaganda Condensed Having for Its Purpose the Spreading of Race Prejudice Throughout the World. The following resolutions were adopted at the closing session of the mid-winter conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held at Palace Casino, Madison avenue and 135th street, Sunday afternoon: This seventh annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People assembled in the City of New York, in the first year of the entrance of the United States into the world war, hereby places on record its loyalty to the Government, and its sympathy with the declared democrats, alms which have invested the nation. While the respected people of the country, are greatly limited in their justices, the respected people of the nation, are a division of democratic equality in the nation, they have no purpose or ambition that is not consistent with their loyalty to the nation and with the most vigorous prosecution of the war to a victorious conclusion. The conference hereby expresses to the President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Honorable Moorfield Storey, its gratitude for the sible and unselfish service rendered by the members and the cause of justice in general, in securing a legal triumph over residential segregation in the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States holding the segregation ordinance of the City of Louisville and thereby annulling similar ordinances in Baltimore, Richmond, St Louis, and other southern cities. The conference submits to the friends of the colored people and the public generally that the action of the National Administration in appointment of 687 Negro officers in the highest commendation, and is a splendid recognition of the loyalty of the colored people to the nation in every period of its history, including this crucial one upon which now entered. It cannot be doubted that the officer will the last full measure of devotion vindicate the confidence reposed in them. We hereby express our horror and condemnation of the East St Louis massacre, and we give voice to the hope that organized labor will not reference to the attitude with reference to the affair, to the opposition to the desire of the colored people who are seeking to better their social and economic condition. While we submit with loyality all authority, both civil and military, and not truing times, when private opinion denies place to the public good, yet we hereby place on record the painful impression which the execution of soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Inventory by hanging and without a recollection of findings of the court martial findings, then by the highest military authority, has left upon our minds. We also record our condemnation of all propaganda having for its purpose the spreading throughout the earth of the earth race prejudice. If the world really to make the world safe for its race should result in increasing race prejudice in the earth, but in lessening it, and finally extinguishing it The seventh annual conference of the Association was one of the most successful ever held and delegates were present from many sections of the country. The first session was held Thursday of last week at the Fifteenth Inventory Armory, corner of Seventh avenue and 132nd street. Mass Mary White acting chairman of the Board of Directors, presiding.

Sping- (Continued on Bjnft Page) One man was burned by fire and a woman and two other men painfully injured by jumping from the windows of the three-story house at No. 148 West 133rd street and No. 148 West 133rd street Tuesday. The fire, which did damage estimated at $10,000, is believed to have been caused by an overheated furnace. Because of the thickly populated section and the fear of the firemen that the fames might be broken, the second alarm was turned in by Deputy Chief King, while the police roped off the block and ordered the occupants of the houses east and west of the burning building into the street. The fire was discovered only when there were fifteen colored people in the house. Mrs. Laura Walls, who conducts the house, said that about 7 o'clock she went to the cellar to start the futnace, returning to her room on the third floor. In a few minutes the fames were eating their way up through the house and that she did the room to room from door to door calling to the lodgera to get out as best they could. Mrs. Walls received a fractured leg when she jumped from the rear window on the third floor, while Jasper Feder, 39 years old, had his right leg broken by jumping from the 28th floor to the 29th floor, suffered a fractured leg and inflicted injuries by jumping from window on the roof of the second floor. All of the others, with the exception of one man, who has not been inflicted, are believed to have escaped. After the fire was out firemen found the body of a man about thirty years old of the man in the man's consciousness and was burned to death while trying to make his way to a window. All of the injured were removed to the Intensive Hospital.

STEPPING FORWARD 1918 OPPORTUNITIES NEW FREEDOM SCRAPS OF POPER LABOR INDUSTRIES UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATE LAWS Russell MAKE APPEAL FOR AID (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) Halifax, N. S.—The colored people of Halifax lost life and property in the big explosion which wrecked the town December 6. The property of the Cornwallis Street Baptist Church, the Rev Moses R. Purpure, pastor, was destroyed and the following appeal for financial aid has been made to the pastors of churches in Boston, New York, Baltimore and throughout Virginia. Dear Sir and Brother The Cornwallis Street Baptist Church, the church of your colored brethren, along with the other churches of the city suffered severely by the great explosion at Halifax on December 6. The white Baptists of Halifax are appealing to their brethren in Canada and the United States to care to carry out their current demands until they regain their strength, and the appeal is meeting with a hearty response. We appeal to your church a contribution large or small will be greatly appreciated—do not fall to send us a contribution because it is small. Every colored Baptist family has been or has seriously affected by the disaster. The church property which had just been freed from debt and beautifully decorated is wrecked and it will take $,000 or $,000 to put it in repair. The Cornwallis Street Baptist Church established in 1832 in the Mother Church of the African Baptist Association in the state of some 7,000 Baptists throughout the Province, and should its work be handled between now and such time as whole or partial restitution is made, it will result in a great hardship to the Colored Baptist Cause. Please send your constitution to Mr. Jas A. B. Kirkner, clerk, 42 Kinks Place, Halifax, N. D. Do not fall in our time of need. Yourself will by. MOSES B. P. DRYEAR. Pastor of the Cornwallis Street Baptist Church. The white Baptists of Halifax are making a similar appeal to white conglomerate country. PRESIDENT FORBIDS EXECUTION AT HOME (Special to The New York Am.) Washington, D. C.—President Wilson has issued an executive order that no more American soldiers are to be executed before the sentences of the court marrials have been reviewed in Washington. Heretofore this has not been necessary in war time. It is said that the Chief Executive of the Nation was greatly moved by the execution of the thirteen members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry some weeks ago, and was prompted to issue the new order after reviewing the hanging of the colored troopers. At the time it was officially unveiled out that the thirteen soldiers had met death on the gallows it was also announced that the officials at Washington were greatly surprised to learn of the executions. This new order does not affect the soldiers abroad under General Pershing. The American commander abroad can put soldiers to death when found guilty of a crime without referring the matter to Washington CANADIAN NEGRO WINS MILITARY CROSS (From: Teen, New York, USA.) (Special to THE NEW YORK AUCTION) SAINT CATHARINES, ONT.—The first Negro soldier in the Canadian army to win the military cross is James (grant of this city), known to all as General. He went overseas with the 49th battery, made up of Saint Catharines natives soldiers entirely. They made General Grant their mascot He, with John Miller of this city, took a gun through a dangerous place being heavily shelled by the Germans. The military cross was given to Grant. Only one man could have the honor and Grant's white comrades magnanimously gave up their own claims. It looked like certain death for Grant and Miller when they took the gun through EXTRA!

Whitty, A W In the course of a sermon on "The Queen of Sheba," which the Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of Bridge St. A, M. B. Church, Brooklyn, preached Sunday evening, he said: "For many years my race has rolled and prayed. In the face of infamous butchery, Germanized treachery and the hell of race prejudice we still survive. A few months ago when we between this country and Germany began, no safe person could doubt our loyalty to our flag nor can doubt it now. From the beginning of American history my race has been finched in the time of crises, this nation and those who could pull down to flag. When the draft was we responded like men and in the training camps of the nation we are preparing with the white youth to offer our bodies as bullet stoppers on the battlefields of France. But this sermon will allow us to do our duty because American zen is open to willingly fighting. Negro police Southern oligarchy now in the saddle and riding like mad on a political steed which by training and ability it seems to be unable to control. "Since the war began a Negro officer not only has been stripped of his uniform in a Southern State, but to save his life, he sneaked off his horse to a penal colony. For having qualified to lead said of his race into the shot and shell of German guns Personally, I condemn that officer for seeking to appease the wounded pride of those dignitaries whose boasted chivalry was displayed in denying the riot of officers of his country. I am only a man; I have worn the uniform of this country as a soldier, and if it were that to-day I wore that uniform again, God helping me, I'd want it. And if it had to be that some Southern mob strip it from me, some of that mob was along with me in a place where the transportation is over roads built by no human hands. "And when, a few months ago, in an hour of delirium brought on by jeers, sneers, provocation after provocations, and finally brutality on the part of civil officers of the law, men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry took the law into their own hands and harmed them, and did they kill them? Did they follow the examples of black men or did they follow those who, in the past fifty years have lynched, burned alive and shot down like beasts over 3,000 Negroes? I do not apologize for the actions of those men. I regret that the condition existed which caused those soldiers to act as they did. But with all of that I insist that if the white South has not yet learned that the Negroes were fifty years ago, it had better learn that fact soon. I believe that the lynching of Negroes will stop in this country only when the Negroes themselves stop it. Saya Negro Is Not Beaten Into Sub- mission. "At the request of the Gileonites, and to appease their desire for the blood of the kin of Saul, David perMITED them to hang on the gallows, seven of Saul's sons. Two of those youths were the sons of Ripah. And as her sons hung by their necks, just outside the stacks of vultures, Ripah sat nearby and night and day protected their dead bodies: from the fury of every bird of prey. The recent leagl Houstan hanging of fourteen Negroes, pales David's act into insignificance. But it satisfies the South's demands—a South which heretofore hung in black victims in the presence of the mourning at the gallows upon which our men were secretly hung without chance to appeal for clementy. Are we cast down? Yes. Are we laid mayed? Yes, because our past records as soldiers seem to avail nothing wher e the satisfaction of a rude ing South is concerned. But we are not beaten into submission of the fife foresight is rare. Make Witness If your hair is short, thin, falling out or breaking off, you should not delay, but write at once for wrote at any price, black man of all races, the past. In his houses are black men who do not look like white but who do not run from a dale when a fight seems inevitable, and when the day reaches them that they must sell their lives in defence of their honor or their women, it will not be a bargain-counter sale." On October 12, Private Jerry Ward, a Negro sentinel of the District of Columbia troopa killed a white man in an army camp. The circumstances leading to the killing I do not know, but I read a few days ago that Ward was dismissed from the service and sent to three years hard prisonation. This was the sentence a man must receive and according to the sentence was disapproved as immediate by General E. D. Hoyle, commanding the Eastern Department. What General Hoyle wanted done to private Ward he does not state. Perhana he wanted a scaffold built and, was recreation for those in Congress who oppose black soldiers, stage a military hanging in Washington. And recently I read that a base hospital was being planned for Negroes alone in France. And also that a prominent Negro surgeon would be selected to command in that. Jim Clow hospital in a country which knows all men as men regardless of the color of their skins. Who this prominent Negro surgeon will be the report does not say and I do not care. But one thig is certain—when Judas Iacariot betrayed his Christ tor a few pieces of silver, his kin was perpetuated. In Thursday's New York World I read that 1,000 white stone masons were to be drafted for work in France 70,000 of us in training for war in France, but only white men can work for the government as bricklayers in France. And now the country is aflame because of the President's proclamation bringing the railroads under Government control. What will be the Government's attitude concerning the Jim-Crow railroad laws in force in all the Southern States? Under government control will a black man be given the right to travel according to the purchase-price of his ticket from New York to Florida, or will he be forced to Jim-Crow as usual? Will this government act as silently on this matter as it has atted for years on the disfranchisement of my race in the South, and its failure, so far, to bring to justice the white policemen whose Hun-like brutality incited the Houston riot for which thirteen of our soldiers were executed? "God reigns. In his sight a thousand years are as one day God's day is in this war, and before this war will end, this Nation whose God is the dollar, will realize what Jesus meant when he declared, 'Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that deeth, the will of my Father which is in heaven.' Our country aims to make Democracy safe in this world. Then let us first make Democracy a fact and not a force at home. Were it to be that by our force of arms and wealth, peace were brought to the bruised and broken hearts of Europe, the coming of Universal Democracy will be delayed until under our flag which we love and for which we would die, the iron heel of oppression is taken from the necks of my race in America and the black man be given a square chance without facing mob-rule, burnings-alive, and 'Jim-Crowism' to sing his song as a citizen—as a man" $29,618 DISTRIBUTED TO SAVANNAH XMAS CLUBS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) Savannah, Ga.—The Christmas savings distributed last week to the members of the various clubs by the three colored banks here amounted to $29,618.

A four-year sentence was imposed on Serga Willis Watts, colored, of the 63d Motor, Truck Company, for participating in a riot at Shipley, Md. The military court martial found Watts guilty of attempting an assault on Arthur T. Stallings, a resident of Shipley, and conspiring with five others of the company to assault James W. Shea, and Hervey Cole, two other residents of the Maryland community. Sergt. John P. Holloway, was sentenced to three years at Fort Jay. The decision of the court-martial regarding the remainder of the soldiers has not been announced. The trouble at Shipley, is said to have been over racial differences, and the outcome was a number of the truck company officers entered the town recently and armed the citizens. Kurt battles the investigated by the military authorities under the direction of Major S. G. Talbott, the division inspector, who fixed the blame on the soldiers. Watts will be continued to the disciplinary barrack at Fort Jay, New York, where he will work as labor. He will forfeit his pay and as the conclusion of his sentence, he will be dishonorably discharged from the service.

But do it with (Kink no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Stages work with it are the easiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight not to stay or to keep it straight but to heat six to eight months. Water not nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink no-more is a stage work that so does not do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world yet. I offer a remail of 100 for each stage of hair that Kink no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-mire is a vegetable compound. It is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scaup or hair but will move dandruff and promote a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-mire is sold under a guarantee to do all that is necessary to keep hair healthy. It will need to air on a damp surface for a regular size box of kink-no-mire enough to straighten. It can be used to handle heads of hair. When you need to press money onto a metal indguments offered to agents Write to day for special terms. Enclose 2 cent stamp for delivery. Address Dr. Pratt, F.

This issue of THE AGE marks the coming of a new year fraught with serious matters for the nation as a whole, as well as for the race. In attacking the various problems in which we as an integral part of the nation have an equal interest, as well as those in which the Negro has a special interest, it is well to take account of our assets and our abilities. In this year of 1918, fraught with problems growing out of the war and its economic issues, the Negro will find among his valuable assets his dependability as a reliable fighting man and his standing as a considerable factor in the labor situation. His approved loyalty and improvement of every opening presented to figure on the fighting line has brought its early fruits in the honorable position already gained as a vital part of the military machine now in making His militant ardor may be relied upon to keep him anxious to widen his opportunities in that direction. But there are battles to be fought and victories to be won in the less dazzling but equally important fields of civic life, in commerce, in politics, in the effort to obtain an equal wage and an equal footing in all lines of activity. The struggle is none the less arduous, because unaccompanied by the pomp and panoply of war. There is danger from the poison gas of prejudice and proscription as well as the shrapnel of mob violence and the camouflage of false pretexts to uphold injustice. The necessity for a severe and systematic training for the purpose of overcoming these obstacles to race progress is therefore apparent. Much has been accomplished along these lines and the school of practical experience has turned out some apt students of the commercial and economic situation. In these cases where ability has been demonstrated along certain lines, it becomes the duty of the race to back up that enterprise with its goodwill and its cash, the former in fact involving the latter. The Negro is bound to figure largely in the economic situation during 1918. His affiliation with the American Federation of Labor, if carried out in good faith, we have every reason to be- social wages. As has already been demonstrated, this will enable him to improve his mode of living, give the race better homes, greater educational advantages for the children and more hygienic living. With increased earning capacity comes the acquisition of homes and home and personal comforts. Here will come the opportunity for the race to develop its commercial as well as its industrial side. Our real estate men and storekeepers will find increased opportunities for the development of their businesses along legitimate and conservative lines by watching and catering to the tendencies of the wage earners. The professional men, the lawyers, the physicians and the ministers will also participate in this general development along race lines, if it is properly worked out. The year of 1918 is big with opportunity. Let us seize it by the forelock! THE WELFARE LEAGUE. The Welfare League is an organization connected with the 367th Infantry, with the avowed intention to "See Them Through." Among its objects are enumerated the following: 1. To help supply the needs of the Regiment, including the providing of amusement, recreation, and comfort for the members thereof, endeavoring in every way to make them happy and contented, thus helping to make them efficient soldiers and better men. 2. To create and foster pride in the history of the colored race, and in the traditions of our country, thereby stimulating their patriotism and increasing their Americanism, and thus making of them better citizens. 3. To assist the dependent members of families of men of the Regiment that are in need of help 4. To continue looking after the welfare and interests of the regiment from this end of the line after the command leaves for France, endeavoring, among other things, to keep the members of the Regiment in touch with the Land for which they are fighting. These aims all sound laudable enough and deserving the whole-hearted efforts of any organization devoted to race welfar. If any exception could be taken to any part of the announcement it might be to the suggestion made in the second paragraph, as to "stimulating their patriotism and increasing their Americanism." Despite the most adverse conditions and all kinds of discouragement, the qualities of patriotism and Americanism have ever shone uppermost in the conduct of the Negro, both as citizen and soldier. What is needed in behalf of the Negro is not so much the stimulation and increase of these qualities, as a fitting recognition of them on the part of the nation at large and its governmental representatives. NOT A CASE OF CHARITY. The provision of relief and creature comforts for the men engaged in war and for the aid and relief of their dependents at home is a laudable undertaking and THE AGE has been foremost in encouraging and abetting such work among the women who have devoted their time and energies to this cause. But it is a work which demands some delicacy of sentiment and is not to be dealt with on the lines of stereotyped charity organization methods The Circle for Negro War Relief is one of the agencies that has taken up certain phases of this work under the inspiration of Mrs. Emilie Bigelow Hapgood. In an article in the New York Sun of last Sunday, detailing the purposes of the organization, Mrs. Hapgood is quoted as follows: "The 100,000 Negro soldiers now in service and the 75,000 Negro soldiers expected to be drafted on the second call and the dependent families of these soldiers are the ones most in need of charity." Now this is putting the matter pretty bluntly and in a manner well calculated to wound the sensibilities of those whom it is intended to aid and comfort. These soldiers and their dependents should not be set in the light of recipients of charity. The men are risking their THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS. AT LAST. The following despatch from New York World, the acknowledgement, is one of vital importance: Washington, Dec. 29.—President of any more American soldier—ex-before the sentences of the court War Department.

But there was a men at Houston.

Pershing's force, the sentences of the courts martial have been reviewed. Before this has not been necessary in war time, but made the rule that it may be doubly sure no injustice Negro troopers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry warrior at Housetown, Tex., without review. No faction of their court or their sentence, but it should have death penalties-reviewed before execution, are tempted to head this article "The President of the thirteen Negro soldiers who were executed benefitted by the President's decision. But, as has many a life before the war is over, President's order prohibits summary execution Pershing's abroad. This order is in abstract interpretation of the Articles of War on the fourth common sense. As we stated in our article the thirteen men of the Twenty-fourth, the aim in proceeding with the execution of the them to appeal to their commander in chief, one of war such appeal could be disallowed warality. It is true that the country was at war at Boston affair, but the men of the Twenty-fourth were not actually involved in the war; actually it does not take military knowledge to know War on this point mean that a court martial full power to carry out its verdicts without cause delays at the front might be fatal. If a man in France mutinied in the trenches, General should have the authority to have them prosecute the right of appeal to the President on view. But there was no need of haste in the Boston. President does not criticize the verdict of the convicted Negro soldiers; but, after all, the President is a severe criticism. This order issued if there was not a feeling among the prosecution that though these soldiers might have accordance with law, they were executed with the that savored of vengeance or a fear of subtraction. At the first time that President Wilson has made it seemed to be prompted by a desire to undermine the Negro; we sincerely hope it is not the case. NEW STATUS OF THE "JIM CROW" CASE Government has taken over the railroads long advance toward socialism. It is one of the times that socialism is opposed to war and socialism faster than the most ardent socialists. There is another outcome of this action, it gives an entirely new status. Whenever the question has come up before the Supreme Court, it hasulation of such matters was purely a State Federal Government is in charge of all the railroads to control. Some of our readers are going to ask at once of the United States run Jim Crow cars?" An in quite promptly and say that the Governments, that is the present Government of the Union Crow" cars if we don't take steps to stop action on the part of the Government offers a given given to put up a fight on the "Jim Crow" cars two grounds on the ground that the abolition car will further the purpose in taking out it will conserve transportation, and on the government cannot discriminate in such a citizens of the country. The following despatch from Washington and published in the New York World, the acknowledged mouthpiece of the Administration, is one of vital importance: Washington, Dec. 29—President Wilson has prohibited the execution of any more American soldiers—except in Gen. Pershing's forces abroad—before the sentences of the courts martial have been reviewed by the War Department. Heretofore this has not been necessary in war time, but the President has made the rule that it may be doubly sure no injustice is done. Thirteen Negro troopers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry were recently executed for rioting at Houston, Tex., without review. No fault has been found in the verdict of their court or their sentence, but it has been felt advisable to have death penalties reviewed before execution. We were tempted to head this article "The President speaks, too late;" for the thirteen Negro soldiers who were executed for Houston cannot be benefitted by the President's decision. But this decision will, perhaps, save many a life before the war is over. The President's order prohibits summary execution, except in General Pershing's forces abroad. This order is in absolute accord with the real interpretation of the Articles of War on this point, and in accord with common sense. As we stated in our article on the hanging of the thirteen men of the Twenty-fourth, the action of the court martial in proceeding with the execution of the men without allowing them to appeal to their commander in chief, on the ground that in time of war such appeal could be disallowed was based on a mere technicality. It is true that the country was at war at the time of the Houston affair, but the men of the Twenty-fourth and the city of Houston were not actually involved in the war; actually they were at peace. It does not take military knowledge to know that the Articles of War on this point mean that a court martial in the field should have full power to carry out its verdicts without allowing an appeal, because delays at the front might be fatal. If a battalion of our troops in France mutinied in the trenches, General Pershing would and should have the authority to have them promptly executed without the right of appeal to the President or any higher court of review. But there was no need of haste in the case of the men at Houston. The President does not criticize the verdict of the court that tried and convicted the Negro soldiers; but, after all, the order issued by the President is a severe criticism. This order would never have been issued if there was not a feeling among the people and in the Administration that though these soldiers might have been convicted in accordance with law, they were executed with undue haste; with a haste that savored of vengeance or a fear of submitting their case to review. This is the first time that President Wilson has made an utterance which seemed to be prompted by a desire to undo or prevent wrong against the Negro; we sincerely hope it is not the last. NEW STATUS OF THE "JIM CROW" CAR. The Government has taken over the 'railroads of the country. This is a long advance toward socialism. It is one of the strange things of the times that socialism is opposed to war and yet the war is bringing socialism faster than the most ardent socialist could have hoped for. But there is another outcome of this action, it gives the "Jim Crow" car an entirely new status. Whenever the question of "Jim Crow" cars has come up before the Supreme Court, it has been held that the regulation of such matters was purely a State affair. Now that the Federal Government is in charge of all the railroads, State laws have no control. Now some of our readers are going to ask at once, "Will the Government of the United States run Jim Crow cars?" And we will answer them quite promptly and say that the Government of the United States, that is the present Government of the United States, will run "Jim Crow" cars if we don't take steps to stop it This action on the part of the Government offers the best opportunity ever given to put up a fight on the "Jim Crow" car. It can be put up on two grounds on the ground that the abolishment of the "Jim Crow" car will further the purpose in taking over the railroads, in that it will conserve transportation, and on the grounds that the Federal Government cannot discriminate in such a manner between the citizens of the country. lives in the fight for the liberties of the people of the whole country. They will receive the same material compensation and benefits that every other class of soldiers will receive. Their families and their dependents will be entitled to the same benefits from the government. If, in addition to this, organized effort is made to provide the comforts and relief provided for other soldiers and their families, it does not constitute a "charity" case. THE thirteen soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry who were executed in Texas some weeks ago for complicity in the Houston riot, left behind them helpless dependents who were deprived of any right to pension through the action of the court martial. While the punishment of these thirteen men executed and the others imprisoned may have been required by the strict enforcement of military justice, and not merely "to appease the South," as suggested by a Brooklyn daily, it is not necessary that Washington and published in the engaged mouthpiece of the Administra- tion. But Wilson has prohibited the execution except in Gen. Pershing's forces abroad as martial have been reviewed by the necessary in war time, but the Presi- dence be doubly sure no injustice is done, twenty-fourth Infantry were recently excluded, without review.

It is one of the strange is opposed to war and yet the war the most ardent socialist could have of this action, it gives the "Jim Whenever the question of "Jim the Supreme Court, it has been held was purely a State affair. Now in charge of all the railroads, State going to ask at once, "Will the run Jim Crow cars?" And we will say that the Government of the Government of the United States, don't take steps to stop it. The Government offers the best op- ght on the "Jim Crow" car. It can the ground that the abolishment of the purpose in taking over the rail- portation, and on the grounds that discriminate in such a manner be- the dependents of these soldiers should also suffer for their actions It is therefore suggested that a fund be raised to care for the helpless families of any of these convicted members of the Twenty-fourth, who are in need of such relief Those of the race all over the country, who realize the indignities that must have goaded these hitherto well-disciplined troopers to their reckless act of reprisal, should be glad to contribute to such a fund. Any contributions intended for that purpose can be sent to The Age and will beacknowlged through these columns. The following representative members of the race have been suggested to act as a committee to receive such funds as may be contributed and to arrange for the proper distribution of the same. The Rev A Clayton Powell, the Rev W H Brooks, the Rev J W. Brown, the Rev W. Spencer Carpenter, the Rev George Frazier Miller, Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier and Mrs. E.P. Roberts. It is a fight worth making, and it should be taken up and fought through the Supreme Court of the United States just as was the segregation case. MEMPHIS MAINTAINS ITS RECORD. The figures for 1916 have been maintains its record. Is there any what record? The preeminence of world is recognized for only one far as Memphis is concerned, it will figures; she has held the record that her place is conceded. The active positions of the other cities of phis. The five cities in the United records are: Memphis, Atlanta, Newton Their records are in the order of course, no one can fail to no South. Memphis, as she has for narrow margin. Memphis for every 100,000 of population, whichend honors shows only 31 murders. To demonstrate how high both a rate in Boston which was only 4%lation. By sections, the rates were afic Coast cities, 9.2; central cities. The claim will naturally be ris due to the presence of the land however, go on to prove that the rate higher than the white rate of any as we have stated before on this blamed in a large degree for the it is because he furnishes so man who know they will never be pr. The South leads the country. Memphis still stands as the most cause this country leads all other stands as the most murderous stands at the head of all her cities figures for 1916 have been compiled, and Memphis is record. Is there any reader so ill informed? The preeminence of Memphis among the recognized for only one thing, and that is for me, this is concerned, it was not necessary to commit it has held the record so long and by so wide is conceded. The figures only serve to show us of the other cities and how far they are by the cities in the United States with the highest of Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Nashville, and records are in the order in which the cities one can fail to note that all of these cities, Memphis, as she has for years, leads; and she begins. Memphis for the year 1916 has 90,000 of population, while Atlanta, which contains only 31 murders for every 100,000 of rate how high both these records are, we reason which was only 4 murders for every 100,000, the rates were as follows: Eastern cities, 9.2; central cities, 12.4; Southern cities, 2.0. It will naturally be made that the high rate of the presence of the large Negro population, on to prove that the white rate of the South in the white rate of any other section of the country, stated before on this very same point, the New large degree for the high murder rate of the city he furnishes so many tempting victims for they will never be punished. South leads the country, and Memphis leads the all stands as the most murderous city in the country leads all other countries. The U.S. the most murderous country in the world, and the head of all her cities. The figures for 1916 have been compiled, and Memphis, Tenn., maintains its record. Is there any reader so ill informed as to ask, what record? The preeminence of Memphis among the cities of the world is recognized for only one thing, and that is for murders. So far as Memphis is concerned, it was not necessary to compile any new figures; she has held the record so long and by so wide a margin that her place is conceded. The figures only serve to show the relative positions of the other cities and how far they are behind Memphis. The five cities in the United States with the highest homicidal records are: Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Nashville and Charleston. Their records are in the order in which the cities are named. Of course, no one can fail to note that all of these cities are in the South. Memphis, as she has for years, leads; and she leads by no narrow margin. Memphis for the year 1916 has 90 murders for every 100,000 of population, while Atlanta, which contends for second honors shows only 31 murders for every 100,000 of population. To demonstrate how high both these records are, we may cite the rate in Boston which was only 4 murders for every 100,000 of population. By sections, the rates were as follows: Eastern cities, 4.9; Pacific Coast cities, 9.2; central cities, 12.4; Southern cities, 21.7. The claim will naturally be made that the high rate of the South is due to the presence of the large Negro population. The figures, however, go on to prove that the white rate of the South is very much higher than the white rate of any other section of the country. And as we have stated before on this very same point, the Negro is to be blamed in a large degree for the high murder rate of the South, but it is because he furnishes so many tempting victims for murderers who know they will never be punished. The South leads the country, and Memphis leads the South; so Memphis still stands as the most murderous city in the world; because this country leads all other countries. The United States stands as the most murderous country in the world, and Memphis stands at the head of all her cities. ANOTHER MYSTERY. Along with the question of tion of God and the disasters from easy explanation of the human suf the causes may be attributed to results from great fires may be at likewise, that which results from to his neglect of the laws of heat find justification for the sudden comes from earthquakes and nature?

But he motion for the sudden and overwhelming sufferings, earthquakes and storms and other cataclysm.

Both of these explanations are abhorrent, contrary sense of justice. Same category with such disasters as earth, the terrible cold weather of last week.

It might be to get coal was due to the war, and the war is suffering. But those who were least guilty and their innocent children. Nor can we though God as a tender father might allow his consequences of their wrongdoing in order to difficult to conceive of Him as taking advantage of direct punishment upon them. Say that God is less tender than a human fakel upon the doubt of there being an overruled cognizance of the affairs of men? Along with the question of "God and the War" comes the question of God and the disasters from natural causes. There is a rather easy explanation of the human suffering brought on by war, because the causes may be attributed to man's own sin. The suffering which results from great fires may be attributed to man's own carelessness; likewise, that which results from a great epidemic may be attributed to his neglect of the laws of health and hygiene. But how can we find justification for the sudden and overwhelming suffering which comes from earthquakes and storms and other catastrophes of nature? Shall we say that because man is ignorant of the spot where an earthquake may come or the path that a storm may follow he must suffer for his ignorance? Or shall we say that God sends these disasters to punish the wicked, and is disregardful of the suffering of the innocent? Both of these explanations are abhorrent to the most rudimentary sense of justice. In the same category with such disasters as earthquakes and storms was the terrible cold weather of last week. Here was New York, a city absolutely dependent upon coal for fuel, and for the first time in its history, utterly unable to get it, and at the same time there comes the most bitterly cold weather the city has ever known since records of the weather have been kept. It might be said that the inability to get coal was due to the war, and the war is due to sin; therefore the suffering. But those who were least guilty suffered most—the poor and their innocent children. Nor can we escape the thought that though God as a tender father might allow his children to suffer the consequences of their wrongdoing in order to discipline them, it is difficult to conceive of Him as taking advantage of their weakness to visit dire punishment upon them. Must we say that God is less tender than a human father, or are we forced back upon the doubt of there being an overruling Providence that takes cognizance of the affairs of men? WAR ON PESSIMISM. A new proclamation of war is announced in a news dispatch from Washington. It is a war on pessimism in which Colonel Roosevelt, ex-President and ty, local American, is to be the leader. It seems that the recent reverses on the various European battle fronts have sent the spirits of the Allies down below zero, in keeping with recent weather conditions here. The result has been a feeling that something must be done to stimulate the British and French in their discouragement and that the visit of Col Roosevelt to the Capital will afford an effective means to this end. It is expected that the passage of a universal military training law and the speeding up of the war activities in general will be greatly facilitated through the injection of Mr. Roosevelt's live magnetism. Leaders of both parties in Congress are reported to welcome his cooperation and persuade pretenders are to be put to flight. As a great financier and statesman once said concerning specie payments the way to resume is to resume. So it may be said that the way to wage war is to wage war. If any one individual can convince the other, warring na- been compiled, and Memphis, Tenn., may reader so ill informed as to ask of Memphis among the cities of the thing, and that is for murders. So was not necessary to compile any new so long and by so wide a margin figures only serve to show the relation and how far they are behind Memphis with the highest homicide New Orleans, Nashville and Charles eder in which the cities are named that all of these cities are in the years, leads; and she leads by no the year 1916 has 90 murders for the Atlanta, which contends for secers for every 100,000 of population these records are, we may cite the murders for every 100,000 of population follows: Eastern cities, 4.9; Pacific 12.4; Southern cities, 21.7.

The suffering which attributed to man's own carelessness, a great epidemic may be attributed to man and hygiene. But how can we and overwhelming suffering which storms and other catastrophes on the man is ignorant of the spot where path that a storm may follow he shall we say that God sends these and is disregardful of the suffering explanations are abhorrent to the use, such disasters as earthquakes and father of last week. Here was New at upon coal for fuel, and for the table to get it, and at the same time and weather the city has ever known been kept. It might be said that the war, and the war is due to sin, who were least guilty suffered children. Nor can we escape the older father might allow his children wrongdoing in order to discipline Him as taking advantage of their upon them. tender than a human father, or are if there being an overruling Provie affairs of men? tions that this country is heart and soul in the war to a finish, Col. Roosevelt is that individual Let him throw his hat in the ring again and flourish the Big Stick' Then pessimism will hide its diminished head and leave the field DEATH PENALTY FOR SOLDIERS. The announcement from Washington that in future no death penalty is to be inflicted by a military court martial in this country without reference to the commander in chief, who is the President of the United States, for review, is a gratifying sign that the wholesale execution of the thirteen soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry was a shock to the conscience of the administration as well as to the country at large Fourteen more of these soldiers are on trial for the same offense. This order of the President assures them of the right of appeal to the commander in chief, in case they are found guilty of the charges preferred against them. In such case it may not be too much to expect that rigors of military justice may be tempered with the mercy of executive discretion. There is much to be urged in mitigation of the crime alleged against all these sol- dirs, and there is reason to believe that the full facts of the matter have not yet been given out. Let us hope that, the judiciary killing of the luckless thirteen has satisfied the full requirements of military discipline. We do not adopt the words of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and say that the execution was determined upon "to appease the South," but in case that statement was based on fact even the bloody South should be appeased by the result of the first trial. St. Louis Post-Dispatch Major R. R. Moton, successor to Booker Washington at Tuskegee Institute, has served notice on the south that a continuation of political abuse and persecution of Negroes will cost the south the rest of its colored labor. The warning is contained in Principal Moton's annual report for the school. Of the Negroes who already have gone north, he says, "Thousands will never return." Principal Moton takes occasion to say that at Tuskegee the Negro is regarded as belonging to the south, and that the pupils there are urged not to leave that section of the country without careful investigation of the offers from other sections of the country. He says: "The causes of the migration have been in the main economic, but they can be no doubt of the fact that the Negroes, as a rule, have taken advantage of the present opportunity to leave behind them poor schools inadequate police protection and no asperating farming conditions, under which so many of them have worked for so many years." As to the remedies to be adopted by the south, Principal Moton says: "We have tried to impress upon southern white people the necessity of a statesmanlike attitude if the remaining portion of the Negro population is to be made content and serviceable." Principal Moton also warns that the individual employer must act with caution. He advises that tenant conditions be improved and that free seed be supplied when floods or other causes sweep away the farmers' assets. He says that the Negroes are striving for education and better conditions, and that the whites must help or the Negro will go elsewhere.

They do not cater to Negro trade, and consequently it was very hard until my arrival, for a member of the race to get a shave bath or hair cut. The Boyle boys are shrewd business men and own considerable real estate as well as an expensive car. They seem ever ready to help any race enterprise in a financial way. I was instrumental in opening up the way, so now a Japanese runs a two-chair shop and gives first-class service and likewise solicits the race's trade.

She has been here for nine or ten years and is well known to all the Negro show people throughout the country. Mrs Gray is a staunch race advocate and never declines to help the good cause along. No Negro "down and out" has ever come to her for assistance but what he did not get it. She owes two houses at 217 219 Bernard street South, which have twenty two neatly furnished rooms, bath toilet electric lights and hot and cold water at all times.

Poor PRINTING THAT COSTS TOO MUCH No matter what poor printing costs it is not worth what you pay for it. Poor printing small returns. None but a foolish man will expect good returns from poor printing. Poor printing costs just as much as good printing and when judged by the number and quality of orders it produces always proves to be the dearest kind of printing. Extra cost of quality in printing is insurance against poor returns. Telephone Bryant 3815 and ask to speak to Mr. Gilbert Moore when you want good printing. THE NEW YORK AGE PRESS 247 W.46th St. New York nicely we are a first-class billiard parlor at the avenue, which has in it four the pool and billiard tables. These tables I noticed, were worked overtime without a moment's rest. There are always some of the young men taking a shot at the balls. The poolroom is splendidly equipped with all the appointments that go to make up comfort and pleasure. This place is doing a money-making business. All brands of the choiceest perfectos can be bad from the neatly and well-stocked showcase. Upon entering the establishment you immediately come in contact with Mr Crump, a courteous gentleman who caters only to the taste. There is a nice two-chair THE HOME OF THE HOLY FAMILY shop connected with the poolroom by a large partition. One chair is in charge of Mr. Crump, who is a welfier of the blade of wide experience. The other is W H Harper a good and all around mixer. Practically speaking, Mr Crump's place is the headquarters for railroad porters from all over the country. The poolroom occupies a great deal of their idle hours. Aner well behaved and well-dressed set of men I never care to meet. Mr Crump is a large real estate owner and a thorough race man. He is known and liked by everyone has a beautiful home a comely, intelligent and refined wife and several children who are very bright in withstanding their tender age.
