MAYOR TO BE REMOVE O Louis Fehr, Secretary of Park Board Under Fire MADE VILE ATTACK Objected to Presence of Negroes in Local Post Office. CRITICISES GOVERNMENT Efforts Were Made, to Secure Fehr's Dismissal During the Mitchel Administration — Protestors Believe Mayor Hylan Will Refuse to Keep City Employee Who Makes Vicious Attack on Taxpayers of New York City. A determined effort is to be made to secure the removal of Louis Fehr, secretary of the Park Board, who is accused of writing articles for publication which made disparaging reference to the presence of colored clerks in the local Post Office. Several attempts were made by col- the Mitchel administration, but no good purpose. It is thought that Mayor Hyllan will give the charges preferred against Fehr more serious consideration. "Arthur T. Eagain, 7 Fifth avenue, one of the colored men who has been seeking the removal of Fehr, in speaking to The Ace about the ill-advised attack made on colored Postoffice employees by a city official, said: "Fehr is the author of the vile attack entitled 'Our Nigger Post Office.' The article is one that only a degraded mind could compose. The following passage will suffice as a sample: "Our Post Office is full of Negroes in their jobs by Republican politicians because of the slavish servility of the Negro race to the Republican machine. A lot of these political niggers are always perniciously active in politics and Tammany Hall ought to have little compunction in dealing with them after the fourth of March.' "The man who could write anything as base as this in him the spirit of the lyncher; the spirit that dominated the mob at East St. Louis, that murdered Leo Frank and that has expressed itself in atrocities that frequently shame the nation. Despite many protests, Mayor Mutchil appointed Fehr and retained him in office. Fehr is probably scheming to hold on under the next regime—and it is your urgent duty to see that Mayor Hyllen knows the truth about this man. Fehr and all other men of his calibre should be driven out of public life forever. His article not only reveals him as a various enemy of the Negro race, but also insulting to the Republican party and to the Federal Government. One of the articles in question is said to have been published in February, 1915.

Mobile, Alabama.—The colored people of Mobile, under the auspices of the Mobile Emancipation Association, Dr. E. T.

The parade ended at the Lyric Theatre, which was placed at the disposal, of negroes for the first time in the history of Mobile. The principal address was delivered by Hon. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, now serving in the War Department at Washington as Special Assistant to Secretary of War Baker. Emmett J. Scott Speaks. Mr. Scott never spoke to better effect, and after paying a compliment to the high class of Negro citizenship of Mobile, told of the spirit of friendship and good will in which the two races in Mobile five, saying in part: "The colored people and the white people of Mobile are proving that though they are different in color, with histories and traditions also widely different, they are yet able to live side by side, in a spirit of amity and good will, in peace and harmony, each contributing in his own way toward the but of this great state as well. "We are seeking through the President of the United States, and through the great arms of the National Government, in every way possible, to preserve the ideals of the founders of this republic; and who are those in all the world better entitled to help fight the battles of freedom than we, the colored people, who have come through the very fires of adversity and have struggled up to the noontime of a new day. This great world war which has engulfed our fair country along with other nations of the world is now mobilizing every resource of men and materials and money to the end that autocracy shall be dethroned, so that this thing we call democracy, liberty, freedom, shall reign throughout the world. We are facing the war with lips set. We know that our country is right, and thrice armed is he who hath his quarrel just. There are now ten millions and more of us in this country and we constitute an asset of overwhelming value to our country. It can have no concern that is not our concern. It can share no disaster that we do not share! it can have no triumph of right and justice in which we should not have a part, and sharing in the great privileges of this country we are ready and willing to join our countrymen in the great struggle which is before us. "We appreciate the fact that privileges and opportunities go hand in hand with duties and responsibilities, and so, whether we shall be cooperating with the War Department at Washington, hearing military arms, or helping the food administration towards the conservation of food, of the federal administration to conserve the nation's supply of coal and wood, or through the agricultural department to promote the growth of crops that our armies and the army use; the abilities may be fed, are cared for, do our part as American citizens, consoles the fact that our country has been courageous and just enough in this hour of national emergence and need, to call for color-preservatives of that which in years ago was lauded and which has during the war, which have followed sought, that we themselves worthy, not only the constitutional guarantees of the Federal Government, but at the same time of the confidence and good will of their fellow citizens of whatever race and color." NAVY STILL DRAWS LINE IN FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY (Special to The New York Acad.) BALMORE, Mn—When three well-known young colored men of this city—John Berry, an instructor in the High School; Edward Frazier, a teacher of Tuskegee Institute, and Raymond T.

IN HARLEM BUSINESS CHANCES BUSINESS CHANCES 75,697 NEGROES ARE DRAFTED FOR SERVICE BUSINESS CHANCES BUSINESS CHANCES NOTICE LOW GRADE SLOWLY 75,697 NEGROES ARE PRESIDENT OF HOTEL DRAFTED FOR SERVICE BELLMEN'S ASSN. DEAD Washington. D. C.—Provost Marshal General Crowder Tuesday announced that colored registrants in the draft aggregated 737,628, or nearly 8 per cent. of the total registration of 9,586,508. Of these 208,953, or 28 per cent., have been called by the draft boards and 75,697 certified for service. Out of every 100 colored men called 36 were certified for service and 64 were rejected, exempted, or discharged. Out of every 100 whites called 25 were certified and 75 rejected, exempted or discharged. "It seems unlikely," said Gen. Crowder, "that the difference is due entirely to a difference in physical qualifications or in the applicability of the several legal grounds for exemption or discharge. A more thorough study of the records will be necessary before the reasons can be definitely stated. It is clear, however, that the younger colored men of America are making a showing of which the whole Nation may be proud." HUNTER C. HAYNES DIES AT SARANAC LAKE Sarahae Lake, N. Y.-Hunter C.

There were many floral tributes, one being a cross or white roses given by the deceased's comrades at the Knickerbocker Hotel, where he was in charge for over eight years. He will be missed by the Hotel Bellmen's and the other different institutions that he so faithfully worked for. Mr. Thomas was born in Washington, D.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY STUDENT IS IDENTIFIED AS A VICTIM OF DISASTROUS FIRE IN HARLEM Andrew Dibble-Martin, a student at Howard University, and son of Prof. J. D. Martin of Biddle University, has been identified as the unknown man who met death in the disastrous fire which occurred at 142 W. 132nd street, New Year's morning. Mr. Martin was visiting New York during the holidays and was preparing to return to Howard University, where he was a third year medical student. When the news of the Howard student's death became known J. Q. Moses, executive secretary of the Biddle University League of New York City, immediately went to the scene of the tragedy and was shocked to further learn that the fire had destroyed the clothing of other young men from Howard and Biddle stopping at the house. Dr. Gistavcs Henderson, director of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Biddle League, R. W. Justice, members of the local League and auxiliary rendered valuable assistance, supplying the victims who escaped with their lives with clothing and funds. The identification of Mr. Martin was not made complete until Brooks Sandere and Pleas Spencer discovered in the ruins a sign ring with initials which had been worn by him, the gift from his father some years ago. The matter of identification would have been far more difficult had it not been for the finding of the ring. The fire broke out with such suddenness that the dead man's brother, Frank, not knowing of his whereabouts, made irantic efforts to ascertain his safety until it was discovered that "Dibble" Martin went down with the floor which had given way under him. After identification was complete the deceased's father, Prof. J, D. Martin of Biddle University, was telegraphed to. Meanwhile, the Biddle University League, under the direction of J. D. Moses, had the body turned over to Understaff K. Thomas, who prepared it for shipment to Charlotte, N. C. the home of Prof. and Mrs. Martin, where Prof. Martin has been professor of Latin at Biddle University for the past twenty years. Prof. Martin arrived next day and was met at the station by his young son, Frank, Brooks Saunders and R. W. Justice, who accompanied him to the undertaking establishment where he identified and claimed the body. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Moses where he had supper he was met by a large gathering former residents of Charlotte, who sympathized with Prof. Martin in his loss. The remains were accompanied to Charlotte by Prof. Martin and Frank Martin, and funeral services were held last Friday. Among the floral tributes was one from the Biddle University League of this city. On Thursday evening of this week memorial services will be held for the late Andrew Dibble Martin in the rooms of the New York Academy, 201 West 57th Street, 833-3831 and activities of the local Biddle University League, the Ladies' University Athletic Club.

Wallace of the James and St. Francis the Florida A. & M., College, one of the greatest state educational conventions ever held in the country. In point of attendance other states have surpassed it, but in program and interest and real constructive study of educational problems both local and national, it was a blue ribbon convention. The work of the convention pro Dean JOHN C. WRIGHT seeded along three lines: Sectional meetings, where workers in different phases of education could get close together and discuss the problems peculiar to their tasks: formal lectures on such vitally interesting matters as the "Rosenwald Plan of Building Public Schools" the "Plans and Administration of the General Education Board," the Story and Operations of the Jeanes Fund, "The Art of Expression," and "A Study of Health Conditions in the Public Schools." The keynote of the meeting was sounded in the splendid review of the report on fifty years of Negro Education recently compiled by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones for the Bureau of Education.

Mass.—The prompt manner in which the Mayor of a town can prohibit the exhibition of the obnoxious photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," was shown recently by Mayor John J. Mullen, who instructed the manager of the Broadway Theatre to cancel the contract entered into to present the film. The letter sent by Mayor Mullen follows: Everett. Mass. Dec. 24; 1917. Mr. Nathan Brown. Mgr. of the Bidway Theatre, Everett, Mass. Dear Sir, After considering the picture—"The Birth of a Nation," which you want to place on the curtain in your theatre, I find that it does not meet with my approval. I made a declaration to the people of Everett that all people, regardless of race, color, or creed, shall get an honorable deal. This picture reflects, in my judgment, on one class of people, namely the Negro, and I as Mayor of Everett feel it is my duty to give these people an honorable deal. This I can not see in the above named picture. It encourages prejudices against the colored people of this city, and I believe it is our duty to uphold these people, rather than to draw them back to the days of a generation ago. You already know that a great protest has been made against this picture, therefore, it is utterly impossible for it to meet with my approval, and ask you to cancel the same. I am sorry to be compelled to do this because I have the highest respect for you. Yours truly, Signed: JOHN I. MULLEN, Mayor. The wishes of Mayor Mullen were complied with without protest. YOUNG IN FIGHTING TRIM. "Although I have been retired because of ill health, I am in fighting trim and mean to do my duty for my country. I can't do anything else. I was raised in the service of my country, and when the call comes I am like an old fire hero. I must be there. As to my retirement, I blame no one—make no charges; but I want the people of New York to see with their own eyes that I am in excellent physical condition and fit for the front."

VALUE OF EFFICIENT SERVICE EMPHASIZED (Special to Tina New York) OPERIKA, ALA—Prudence Winton, principal of the Carnegie Institute, delivered the Emancipation address in the County Court House to an audience of nearly 2,000 persons on New Year's day. Salient features of his address, which was entitled "The Negro and the Nation," were as follows: "Human life has no perfect security but freedom: freedom none but knowledge, and knowledge has none but hope except it be anchored in morality. The universal verdict of the world is that the Negro was made for toil. The Negro believes in service, toil, hard work, earnest, honest, conscientious and continuity of toil from the 'blackening of the boots to the whiteening of the souls. The Negro's strong arms, sweat, tears and toil, have cultivated America's fields, felled its forests, disemboweled its hills, laid its railroads, bridged its rivers, tunnelled its mountains, built its cities." "Let the Negro continue to be the working force of America; let him be an indispensable element in the constructive development of industrialism. Let him not hedge labor about with any superstition. Let him know that efficient service creates value, irrespective of legislative enactment or personal sentiment, and that the color of a man's skin and the texture of his hair cannot add or detract from the production of a finished article."

Hawkins of Tallahassee was chairman, which follows: "This the twenty-seventh annual session of Florida Teachers' Association meets under conditions the list of which has never faced it before practically the whole of the college world is at war in what seems to be a most unprovoked struggle. in the office of the government are all right, and that ultimately out of the strife will come the fulfillment of that promise guaranteeing life theory and the present of happiness to all. 2. That it is our intention, through our office as teachers of the youth, to instill into young America loyalty, helpfulness and hopefulness. 3. That we ask for as thorough a search and investigation into crimes like those of St. Louis, Memphis, Waco, Springfield and a thousand others, as was excused by these probing into the trouble at Houston, Texas. 1. That we are early in our commitment to strengthen the more friendly attitude by which the Negro now regarded by the whites of the country. 2. That we pledge a closed combination of work for the betterment and upfit on the part of the teachers of the state both in public, denominational and private schools. 3. That we ask as our due, a more suitable distribution of the public school funds, to the end that our public schools may be furnished with the best teachers, the buildings made more comfortable, and the terms so lengthened that our school work will seem to be more of a reality than the farce which it now appears to be in so many places."

A gratifying feature of the passage of time from 1917 to 1918 has been the prompt and ready response of the readers of The Age in renewing their subscriptions for the year. Checks and money orders have arrived in every mail and in many cases have been accompanied by letters expressive of approval and encouragement. Time was when the holiday season marked difficulty in making collections, but a new spirit seems to have possessed our readers this year, in taking advantage of the close of the year to balance their accounts and advance their expiration dates. The expressions that accompany many of these remittances make most interesting reading, as will be seen by some of those published in this issue. Most of them express complimentary opinions regarding The Age and its policy, but are nevertheless discriminating in their praise. The various reasons stated for desiring the continuance of their subscriptions are enlightening and valuable as an index to the growth of thoughtful reflection among our reading people. The Age appreciates the continuance of public confidence and support indicated by these letters and the remittances they contain. It is this confidence and support that enable it to maintain its functions as an advocate of the claims of the race to justice and a recorder of the progress of the cause in the court of public opinion. There is much in the stimulus afforded by our readers to warrant a grateful acknowledgment. EVERYDAY BLESSINGS. It required a scarcity of sugar, a disappearance of coal from the yards, a diminishing of the flow of kerosene and the freezing of gas and water pipes to bring home to the ordinary citizen of New York, and many other places, the great blessings of civilization. he has enjoyed without a due appreciation of their value. As the poet sang once on a time, "Tis absence makes the heart grow fonder." So it is, with the mercury below zero and the coal bin looking vacant, the head of the household appreciates the former years when "Mr. Load of Coal" was wont to appear promptly upon calling. Then when the kerosene can yields the last drop and the oil store smokes wicked!' the oil man must be coal and the grocer puts out the "No Oil" card. The gas slickers to a blue flame and finally expires, so there's nothing left but the water and the absence of heat soon turns that to ice. This chain of circumstances occurred to many a householder and tenant last week, and the only recourse was to bed and blankets, or a protracted visit to the cinema or a friend or relative possessed of a warm welcome as well as a heated sitting room. Water, gas, heat, rapid transit and the many accessories of comfort available in large cities have become such matters of fact, that they have ceased to be regarded as blessings to be used and accepted with a spirit of thankfulness. It is only by being deprived of them for a season, that due appreciation of these benefits is accorded. When the normal supply of these everyday blessings is resumed, the individual sense of their value will doubtless be accentuated through their deprivation. HARLEM'S OPPORTUNITY. The Negro colony located in Harlem, with a population estimated at 70,000, has a unique opportunity to demonstrate the capacity of the race for self-development. Situated in the midst of the most highly civilized urban section of the country, it has such advantages to start with as a modern city affords in the way of housing, schools, libraries, public bath, rapid transit, etc. Employment is readily secured by those seeking it and a beginning has been made in the essential feature of community building. The crux of the situation is to demonstrate the extent to which this community spirit can be cultivated and the various forms of public and racial utility to which it may be harnessed. Commercial enterprise has started well in the development of various real estate operations in this section with the Negro as, the base on which the success of the enterprise depends. With the limited housing supply and the increasing demand due to new accessions, these investments would seem to be well grounded and bound to pay dividends if properly handled. Other avenues of commercial activity promise well in the line of retail business property located and conducted with tact and discretion. Hotels, restaurants and barber shops already in existence show signs of great development. The fact that a local bank had to discontinue its Christmas, banking feature for lack of space, would indicate that the field is ripe for an institution of this kind under race auspices. There is need for financial development as well as commercial, and the ice must be broken some time. Previous failures pave the way for a final success. Marked development has already been made in the religious field. Not only have commodious modern church structures been erected or acquired, but institutional church work has been vigorously prosecuted. Of course, there remains much to be accomplished along this line, but with the live and progressive ministry in the field, the future can safely be confided to their watchful care. The health and the legal rights of the community do not lack qualified practitioners in the branches of medicine and the law, the latter profession having just contributed one of its members to and in the making of laws for the State of New York. To the Negro colony in Harlem much has been given in its favored location and constituency. Of it much will be expected in the tale of progress and achievement in the years to come. Let some concrete achievement be recorded for the year of 1918. Let us give serious thought to these things and make a real beginning. like, while the iron is VIEWS and REVIEWS THE BLACK CROSS.

The membership committee of the Gulf Division of the American Red Cross has recently issued two neatly printed pamphlets for distribution among the citizens of the Gulf States. One of these pamphlets is headed, "An Appeal of the American Red Cross to America," and the other is headed, "An Appeal to the Colored Citizens of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi." This difference indicates that the membership committee of the Gulf Division does not regard the colored people of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi as a part of America. If that is true; we do not see why the committee should expect them to contribute to the American Red Cross. Some might feel that we are drawing a rather fine line; that the committee was only striving to reach a portion of the population of these states that might not be reached through a general appeal; that it was endeavoring to have the colored people know and feel that their cooperation in the Red Cross was wanted, and that it took the method of a special appeal as the best to accomplish these ends. Even so, the pamphlet could have been headed in a manner that would have shown a broader spirit. For example, this separate appeal might have been headed, "An appeal of the American Red Cross and the Black Cross?" But the difference referred to above was not the only difference between the two pamphlets. The appeal to "America" was printed with a red cross and a red border, and the appeal to the "Colored Citizens" was printed with a black cross and a black border. This is discrimination carried to the utmost point of assininity. Here is a great benevolent organization appealing for dollars to provide for certain needs of the men who are to fight and die for the nation, among whom there will be many thousands of colored men, and yet in making this appeal to colored citizens it feels called upon to drop its international insignia, the red cross, and use a black cross. We want to know if this organization can at the same time be the Red Cross and the Black Cross? In the "Black Cross" appeal there is the following paragraph: "Each person joining the Red Cross during the Christmas Membership Drive will be given a receipt for his or her money; he will be given a button which may be proudly worn as evidence that the wearer is a member of our great organization, and performing a patriotic and, humanitarian service to all sufferers through disease and wounds." The button generally worn by members of the Red Cross has upon its face a red cross. But since the Gulf Division of the organization does not feel that it can place the red cross even upon the printed appeals which it sends out to colored people for their money, it seems reasonably certain that it will not place the red cross upon the buttons which it issues to be worn by colored people who contribute to the fund. What will they issue, a button with a black cross? Calculate the amount of pride such an emblem will inspire in the breasts of the Colored Americans of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi who might contribute to the fund for American soldiers. Imagine the "patriotic" and "humanitarian" sentiments it will arouse? This "Black Cross" pamphlet contains also the following words: "A magnificent opportunity presents itself for the Colored people to prove their patriotism to the Government. This opportunity is through the Red Cross." We think that a magnificent opportunity presents itself for the Red Cross to prove its patriotism, and in this great struggle and sacrifice which confronts the country to draw no line between loyal Americans, white or black. And it may be added that the Colored people do not need to prove their loyalty to the nation, that burden of proof rests more heavily upon the white people of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. But this case against the Red Cross does not lie only against the Gulf Division, it lies in varying degrees against the whole organization. Here in New York, we are given to understand, there has been a constant, demand for nurses, yet colored graduate nurses after repeatedly offering their services have not been allowed to enroll. And there are other forms of discrimination practiced by the organization in this state. Is the Red Cross a mobilization of our natural resources or some sort of an exclusive society?

Lloyd George surprised the world by giving Great Britain's answer to the peace terms of the Central Powers as announced during the Russo-German negotiations at Brest-Litovsk. He surprised the world because the answer is so definite and moderate. He has stated England's war aims several times before, but the criticism has been that the statement was always more rhetorical than definite. He has frequently declared that England was fighting for democracy or humanity or the integrity of the smaller nations, but this statement is in concrete terms. The answer is both negative and positive. In the negative part of the answer Lloyd George declares that England and her allies are fighting: Not for the destruction or disruption of Germany.

In the positive part of the answer he declares that England and Should a wounded soldier be obliged to remain helpless on the field until an ambulance labeled "Colored" or "White" can come to carry him where he might obtain needed relief? Common sense and humanity furnish but one answer to the suggestion. It therefore behooves our friends to exercise the utmost discretion in their talk about ambulances for colored soldiers. Let us just have ambulances. NO "JIM-CRQW" AMBU- LANCES. There has been some talk about a proposition to raise funds to provide an ambulance for colored soldiers. If the intention is merely to provide an ambulance for one or more of the colored regiments now in the service, well and good. There cannot be too many ambulances provided for all the soldiers who are going to risk their lives for the nation. But if the intent is to provide an ambulance to be labeled "Colored" or "Negro," the idea is fraught with danger. All ambulances, as well as other/accessories for the care and her allies are fighting for the following principles: 4. "Reconsideration of the great wrong done to France in 1871" referring to Alsace-Lorraine. 5.—Establishment of an independent Poland, "comprising all genuinely Polish elements, because this is necessary to the stability of western Europe." 6.—Arabia, Armenia, Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine all to have separate national conditions. 7.—The future of Russia to be left to the decision of the Russian people themselves. 8.—The inhabitants of the African colonies to be "placed under an administration acceptable to themselves for the purpose of preventing exploitation for the benefit of European capitalists and European governments." He also declared that before permanent peace can come these conditions must be fulfilled: The sanctity of the treaty must be reestablished. There must be territorial settlements based on the consent of those governed. There must be created some international organization to limit the burden of armaments and diminish the probability of war. There can be no question about the definiteness of these terms, nor of their reasonableness and justice, as far as they go. If they do not appear reasonable to Germany, there is no doubt that the war will and should go on. Most likely, Age readers will be interested in the clause which refers to African colonies to be "placed under an administration acceptable to themselves for the purpose of preventing exploitation for the benefit of European capitalists and European governments." We shall at once put such readers' minds at rest by saying that the "inhabitants" referred to mean the white people who have settled in Africa. The British Premier, however, is striking at the root of the whole matter when he says, "There must be territorial settlements based on the consent of those governed." Unless some such settlements as these are arrived at, the Allies will have fought in vain for democracy, humanity and the integrity of the smaller nations. But "those governed" must be construed to mean not merely the white people who have settled in the lands of colored peoples, but also these colored peoples themselves. And so it must mean the whole people of India, of Egypt, of Morocco and of Haiti. So long as this is not done there can be no permanent peace. There was a great outburst in England and this country when Lord Lansdowne published his famous letter several weeks ago. There was a loud reiteration of the "knock-out" policy. But this recent utterance of Lloyd George appears to go as far as, if not farther than, the Lansdowne letter. He goes as far as President Wilson went in his reply to the Pope. On one point he goes further; in that the President stated that the United States could not in settlement deal with the Imperial Government of Germany, and intimated that the German people must change their government before any terms of peace could be discussed. Lloyd George more than intimates that it is not the purpose of England to destroy or disrupt Germany or to alter the Imperial Constitution of Germany. The making of peace after a great war is like driving a bargain; neither side will offer as much as it may expect to pay. And no bargain can ever be made until both parties have stated a definite price. Now that the powers on both sides of the present conflict have stated their aims, there is great probability that they will get together, and that peace, after all is not very far off. Since the above lines were written, President Wilson in answer to the Brest-Litovsk peace terms has addressed Congress and restated the American war aims. He is more definite and more concrete than Lloyd George. However, there is very little difference between this declaration and the one before it, except that there is an apparent modification of the statement that the United States would not treat with the German Imperial Government. The President now says, "Neither do we presume to suggest to her (Germany) any alteration or modification of her institutions." The Russian leaders have come in for a good deal of abuse in the past few weeks, but it is likely, after all, that they are the ones who will open the way to a general peace. AGAIN, THE WORLD AND THE SOUTH. The New York World is again expressing its dissatisfaction with the way the Southern statesmen in Congress are running things. And it again says that Northern Democrats have not been impressed by Southern leadership and intimates that never more will Northern Democrats help to turn over the control of the Government to their Southern colleagues. In an editorial, this great Democratic and Administration daily says: "In most cases men having little experience except as office-holders have been carried by the seniority rule into legislative responsibilities for which they are wholly unfitted * * * they have been narrowly sectional or incompatent." This coincides with what we said in these columns when the Southern regime first came into power. How is it possible for a lot of little-minded men who for the most part get into Congress because they succeed in demonstrating to their constituents that they hate a Negro more than their political opponents do to rise to the height and expand to breadth which the present crisis demands in both vision and action. It is not possible. And before it can be, the qualification for representing a Southern State in Congress must be something more than record for race prejudice.

Chicago Hesburgh. The war we face the world must safe, we may venture to believe that a whole terrible struggle has been of war to us all. But there is one race that the war seems to be benefitting even it goes on. That is the race of Negro in the United States. In the first place, it undoubtedly a great factor in that sudden, and in terrible emigration to the North, puzzled sociologists and will inter historians. Colored men of position in substance in the South left their place in the furrows or the shingles fapped on the houses they were building in came North overnight? Why? Because they recovered in the North their competition for the service of labor competition largely brought about by demands of war. That this hasty gratification was a mistake we may all age and yet its ultimate effects are likely to be unplitting. For it was in recognition of this migration in all probability, that the American Federation of Labor at Buffalo the most unexpected action of its art Very little note has been paid to action; the speech of President Wil overshadowed it in immediate value. But the fact is that the American Federation of Labor ordered organization of the Negro into use and the fuller recognition of unionism in the Negro labor Federation admitted the Negro to the fellowship of labor. At one jump an objection that had seemed insumutable passed. And the war, if indirectly, the accomplishing factor. In the second place, the Negro certain to make his mark as a sold The Herald commented on this in some time ago. He has the quail that make the fighter, in mass, irresist—dash, endurance, willingness to do discipline. And he is finding training to his taste. Once he has obstructed his sense of responsibility a citizen, his loyalty and force, he never return to the place he has of economic neglect. He becomes metatically a citizen in fact, not by ment only; as many of his race he course become individually; but a rank and tile have not become these reasons we may count up Negro of intelligence to support war; if he did not support it fractional loyalty only.

"Economy" is now the watchword among housewives, and it behooves every one to do her bit to conserve foodstuffs which heretofore have been used with a reckless hand. Some housewives say it would work a hardship to do without butter, but in these meatless, wheatless, sugarless days it has been proved that butter is not at all times necessary to give the proper flavor. Here are a few pointers: Instead of using butter in tuber vegetables cook them in very little water. That is done to save the flavor. If canned vegetables are used they are heated, and salt and pepper and milk are added. No milk or butter is needed. When washing potatoes do not use butter when using milk. When dried vegetables are used wash in warm water and soak, overnight in cold water and put on to boil the potatoes. The potatoes are soaked. This brings out the flavor so that butter is unnecessary in seasoning them. If salted vegetables are used one must use one's own judgment. If very salty they are washed and soaked in cold water one or two hours. The depends on how salty the vegetable. Some of the things in which one will never miss butter are: Canned peas, which can be flavored with a clove and a little sugar Instead of French fried potatoes boil the potatoes in the skins, peel and hash-brown them, using very little fat and a little milk to brown. Not only is this a big saving but they are more wholesome. WARTIME RECIPES ENGLISH MONKEY Soak one cupful of state bread crumbs in one cupful of milk for fifteen minutes. Melt one tablespoonful of margarine and half a cupful of oil. Mix the margarine and oil and stir until the cheese is melted. Then add the soaked crumbs and, just before serving, one lightly beaten egg, half a teaspoonful of salt and a few grains of cayenne. Cook for one minute, pour over toasted crackers. Cover with cream and salt paprika. Have the plates fireproof and as hot as possible. PANNED TOMATOES. Drain large whole tomatoes from the liquor in the jar—reserving this for soups or sauces—chill on the ice and cut in rather thick-slices. Roll in flour that has been seasoned with that paperika, and, fry-in hot bacon or chiffon hot beef fripping. Serve with strips of hot toast that has been well buttered. KENTUCKY CORN DODGERS.

Boil well for half an hour keeping it well steamed, then put into classes; when cool cover over the classes and store as usual. FOR LEFT-OVER BREAD. The following recipes for using left-over bread have been collected by the federal bureau of home economics: Vegetable soup thickened with bread crumbs—One quart skim milk, one cup bread crumbs, or two large slices—stale bread, salt; small amount of spinach or outer leaves of lettuce (not more than four ounces), one small slice of onion. Cut the vegetables into small pieces and cook with the fermented in the milk in a double boiler. If a large is being prepared, put the vegetables through a meat chopper. In this case slices of bread may be ground with the vegetables, in order to absorb the juice. Candies—One cup crumbs, two and a quarter cups skim milk, milk cup flour, four teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon sugar, one teaspoon melted fat, one egg. Soak crumbs in milk for three quarters of an hour. Then add other ingredients and cook on a hot griddle like ordinary pancakes. If sour milk is used, substitute half teaspoon baking powder, or the four teaspoons baking powder. Gingerbread—One cup molasses, half cup boiling water, one and one-third cups fine bread crumbs, two-thirds cup flour, one teaspoon baking soda, one and one-half teaspoons ginger, half teaspoon salt, four teaspoons mixed hard or other. Add water to mixed hard or other. Add ingredients mixed together, then add lat and beat. Bake for about 25 minutes in a hot oven. A HINT OR TWO To remove mildew from linen's they are pure white (no color) they may be boiled in water to which jacha is added (procedure of storing) is added in proportion of a useful javelle to eight culpful water. Rinse thoroughly in clear water to which one tablespoonful of ammonia is added. If the articles are in any color, there is no hope other than coloring the clear water and hanging in the sun. Insect destroyer—Often a new tenant will find the apartment infected with bedbugs. It is possible to get rid of them if stringent methods are used at once. This suggestion is worth trying: Gasoline is the best remedy. Brush over the beds with gasoline. Remove mattresses into the room and then the tubs or brass dipped in gasoline. Air bedding ding. Cork up any cracks in baseboard or wainscoting with putty and then cover with shellac. Fumigate each room with a sulphur or formaldehyde dye. Burned over night. Remove silver and metal objects from room during this fumigation. Open all closet doors. Set candle on tin pan in centre of other small dish of water on the floor. First cork up all wounds with oil rags. Cork up all floors of room and cork up door from outside using old rags, and stuffing in with some blunt thing like a screwdriver. This should give results. To mend a kuf glove, place a bit of courziple, as shearly as possible the same shade as the glove, on the underside of the torn part. Then bring the edges neatly together over it. This will not tear out as do stitches. Or cut them into pieces. The wrong side hit it securely in place and stitch on the right side several times on the sewing machine. A glove which is mended in this way usually lasts until the remainder of the glove has completely worn out. WINNING THE WAR IN THE KITCHEN What have the representatives of the denominations at the Food Administration headquarters in Washington been doing during their active service? The churches should unite and work together in the work of this branch of the Section of Co-operating Organizations. In addition to the churches the Section includes the fraternal orders, with a constituency of about twelve millions. The total population which this Secretary oversees includes the principles and need of food conservation, and influence to immediate and continued action, counts up to between sixty and seventy millions. The following extract from a special report prepared for the Food Administration in part what has been accomplished: The church representatives have planned and carried out a comprehensive propaganda, leading up to and centring in the weekly report plan, which was laid upon the churches as through correspondence have got into direct touch with the pastors of the country in charge of churches, reaching at least one hundred thousand of these leaders; secured the appointment of local church committees on food conservation, gained the co-operation of the national church organizations, especially those of the women; provided for the presentation of food conservation by special speakers at national, State, and local church conventions, thus reaching personally the leading ministers for conferences in small churches; arranged for conferences in small rural districts not usually reached; prepared special articles for the denominational papers, in addition to the matter regularly sent out by the press representative; made many public addresses, kept up a large corrosive press, and was possible way to suffuse the material with the patriotic, moral, and religious motives essential to widest success, and enlist the entire church constituency in the bishop's administration. In the pledge not to campaign the教会, took the share associated them, serving a letter pastor in the United States a letter from Mr. Houser, accompanied by one from the denominational representative, asking the pastors to pre- sent the pledge card and weekly report card campaigns to their people and see to it that the weekly reporting was carried on from November 4 to December 30, with weekly summarized returns to Washington. A packet was sent to every pastor containing instructions for the campaign, subject-matter for sermons, and a sample supply of report cards. The Jewish representatives, with a perfect organization, present a record of most effective service in stimulating three million people. The latest orders, including the commercial travellers, have been easier to reach, because of compact organization. This gives some idea of the amount of work done. The religious press has given fine support. Through no other agencies could the propaganda have been carried so immediately and with the correspondence shows the wide interest awakened. It is well understood that the work is only fairly beaten(begin), and that a vast amount of persistent, intelligent, constructive effort must be put forth before the people at large will realize the moral and economic value as well as positive necessity of food conservation. The people at large will also be an emergency war expedient and a permanent propaganda, immediately essential to the winning of the war, but also to right readjustments in the reconstruction period to follow. While our boys are offering their lives in the trenches, we are asking the folks at home to make this daily table at order in order to make victory possible and help suffering humanity If we eat less meat, sugar, and butter, and fewer fried dishes, we can keep our army and that of our allies in full fighting trim, and can prevent the spread of the women and children of England and France.—The Christian Register.

Photos/Illustrations 10-21 W. 120th St. N.Y. 714-200-3888 THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS SCREEN DIALECT (BY LESTER A. WALTON.) PUTTING "dialect" into the mouths of Negro characters appearing on the screen has become more or less of an evil among motion picture producers, and this unfair practice of misrepresenting the race is getting to be more pronounced. Unless the scenario writer or director has the colored American saying "dis" and that he seems to feel as if the line of distinction between colored and white actors has not been sufficiently drawn. Nine out of ten colored actors selected to play parts in motion picture plays are of the ebony-hued type, for our film producers are devious that the faces of Negro characters show black on the screen, there will be no doubt as to their racial identity. With so much emphasis laid on color there is absolutely no need of making them speak other than plain "United States." Last week I dropped into a motion picture theatre and became deeply interested in a picture made by the Bluebird Photoplay Company. Three of the characters were played by colored actors—two men and a woman—and the only false note in their work was their inconsistent use of what purported to be Negro dialect. And maybe it was, but such language is foreign to the majority of colored Americans. I recognized one of the colored actors as an acquaintance who, off the stage, uses good English. He would have been more, at home speaking natural than trying, to live up to the absurd notions of the producers as to how a Negro should talk. Then there was a colored maid who was not permitted to use a word of English correctly. Some of choice language I ever heard was uttered by colored maids who had been fortunate to come in daily contact with educated and refined employers. If our motion picture producers really want to represent instead of misrepresent, they will pitt English as it is, spoken into the mouths of the colored motion picture actor. After the feature picture I saw a photoplay which dealt with foreigners escaping to the United States from Russia. One or two immigrant characters were introduced, and everybody, although from a distant clue where a different language is spoken, used English fluently. Then I recalled the language used only a few minutes before by American citizens who were born here and educated here, whose association has been with English-speaking Americans and who know nothing else. The movie men very likely would tell you that they mean no harm—no disparagement—by using "dialect," that it is done more for the sake of creating comedy. But give the colored actor the proper situations and he can supply humor aptly and at the same time use words with which he is familiar and which may be found in the dictionary. As I have previously stated in these columns—to be able, to speak Negro dialect is as much of an accomplishment for the average colored American as it is to know Spanish or French. But the movies would have the white public believe that instead of being the exception dialect is the rule among 12,000,000 Americans. No objection is raised to dialect in "The Line Kinn Club" and such Negro comedy classics; but to have colored people 365 days in the year speaking English in as garbled a fashion as a Louis Mann or Weber and Fields is too much! Let our colored managers of motion picture houses get busy and demand that "Negro dialect" in the future tabooed except in photoplays where it consistently belongs. Why, Oh Why, Mr. Kaufman? S. Jay Kaufman, who conducts the "Round the Town" column in the New York Evening Globe, in a recent issue wrote: Dear Lester A. Walton: Your reference in *True Age* to our mention of the exhibition of paintings by colored children at the Coady Gallery, says, in effect, that we judge the pictures by the color of the painters. You did not read what we wrote about these pictures many months ago. The painter said nothing to do with the color of the painters. Whether these pictures could be lived with was what we asked. We commended the expression of a desire to express, and we commended them as futures. And, if you say that we are wrong in saying that an exhibition by children in a Fifth avenue art gallery is exceptional, you do not know if fifth avenue art galleries. And it is just this sort of exceptional thing which does so much for art generally. ROUND THE TOWN. Putting aside, my dear Mr. Kaufman, the question of the color of the painters, I respectfully ask of you if you expect masterpieces by painters, whose ages range from twelve to sixteen years? You say the point you brought out in the article in question was: "Whether these pictures could be lived with?" The point I sought to bring out was why should you take pictures painted by children so seriously? When I hear a child of twelve playing a piano I do not expect a musical treat as would be furnished by a Paderewski, and when I attend a cantata participated in by boys and girls I do not look forward to a finished performance as might be provided by a Caruso or a Tetrazin. I go prepared to "live through" the ordeal, fully realizing that I am not attending a professional performance. And sometimes I go to an entertainment in a similar state of mind when the performers are not children. When I visit an "automat" for a bite to eat I appreciate the fact that I am not in a Childs' restaurant; and when I go into a Childs' restaurant I do not expect the same service as one receives at a Shanley's or Rector's. As to when I should be fastidious and very particular, it all depends. Surely, Mr. Kanfman would not call for pure linen napkins at the "automat" or Dresden china at Childs? Then why become so apprehensive and supercritical about "fiving" with the pictures of youthful painters in the elementary stage? STOCK COMPANY TO PRE- SENT "COMMON CLAY." At the Lafayette Theatre next week last year's sensational success, "Common Clay," which ran all year at the Republique Theater, is the Common Clay" is the story of Ellen Neal, a housemaid in the home of a rich family in the Middle West, who is led into an adventure with the son of his vacation from a college in the East. The play develops from the story of a family to suppress the case when a baby is born to her. They seek to prove that she is a dancehall graduate of unsavory history and succeed, in the process, in confronting their unhappy star witness with the peril of corruption. The unconsciously brutal conversation between the men seeking to adjust the case behind closed doors is Mr. Kinkead's best work. The text of his play has genuine salt and the dialogue is immeasurably better than the stuart that is so often spotted in mid month out on the New York stage. The climax comes when, Mrs. Neal on the witness stand, the lawyer for the defense seeks to draw out some damaging material concerning the girls earlier story and stumbles on the fact that the girl is his own child, the hapless legacy of just another girl. The girl's thought was written only on, the pages of a book closed and sealed twenty years before. "Common Clay" is a drama of unusual power in plot and action, and needless to say the Lafayette Company will do its utmost to bring all the fine points of this play out. The scenic investments are being carefully looked after, by the artist from the original drawings so that nothing will be wanting, even to the most critical of patrons. MODERN SONGS In the New York Sun a discussion is being carried on as to whether the popular songs of today are better than those of years ago. In speaking on behalf of the old songs David A. Curtis writes: Your correspondent makes a startling suggestion when he speaks of "the elevation of the modern song in comparison to the old song and dance of other songs." Of course, the use of the word "elevation" necessarily implies a comparison, and a lot depends on the point of view. Used in connection with popular music it is fairly bewildering, and I find myself wondering whether he means that the modern song has been elevated upward or downward. The subject is no simple one, and the question is not to be settled by any one man's dictum. It may be that "modern song" conforms to a higher standard than the popular music of half a century ago, and then again it may be so. I confess I have my doubts. Rather, slightlyly, it seems, he speaks of the dance as being “important in those duties of ancient date as either the song or the chorus”. It was. When May and Flo Iloiwang sang “Those Wedding Bells are Ringing” in a performance of aERY, they danced. They certainly did dance, and the audience certainly did consider that important. But I ask whether the dance is not an equally important adjunct of modern song. Would a“coudeville artist today venture to sing “How Are You Hawaii?” or my Honolulu Gal” without dance? Again he says, and this time the sneer is unmistakable, “New York was a primitive place when it could be pleased and entertained with Bobby Newcombe and such songs as this most popular and tasting of them all, the flower.” Perlman Newcombe was primitive in those days. It is yet, for that matter, but it then had a very pretty taste in music. Jazz hand players might have escaped with their lives, but in that elder day they would hardly have been made welcome in the community, no such monstrosities alleged meloons should have been tolerated on any stage. It cannot be that your correspondent has any classical music in mind when, he writes of the "elevation," for popular music is more advantageously popular now than ever before. Whether it is of higher quality is. I heart a number of personal taste suitely. It cannot be judged by the standard of artistic excellence, for it does not conform to such and never did. It was considered at that time that the true mission of music was to soothe the savage breast, not to initiate it. If the performer wished toouse murderous passions he abandoned music altogether and played on his sensibilities with selections from the catalogues of our most successful publishers. But where does anybody get that stuff about "The Big Sunflower" being the most popular and lasting of all the old time songs? It is flat surglary as ever was committed. If George C. Barker could turn over in his gray and write another of his popular hits. I knew him well, though I was playmate to his youngest child. He was a gentle, kindly soul who composed almost entirely in the first, third and fourth centuries in the key of C or G, but, Lord! how his songs did sell! "Rosalie, the Prairie Flower," alone made him rich and proved to be a much hardier plant than the sunflower. And he wrote many others. He was not the only one who wrote them. Others wrote many others, so many that a card index would be needed in trying to list them. There was: Down in a read mine Down in a read mine Digging dusty diamonds All the year around And: Up in a balloon, boys Up in a balloon All among the little stars Sailing around the moon And: I'm Captain Jinke of the horse marines! I feed my horse on corn and beans. And there were hundreds of others, all popular even if they were not music in the highest sense. Musicians they didn't laugh at the bank accounts that grew out of them, any more than the scholars of today scorn the financial returns of the trash of today. Elevation, the popular "pop" who can cite a "popular" pop that the ranks alongside "Of Black Joe" or that is likely to endure so long? "CHARLIE" TURPIN SENDS FLASHLIGHT PICTURE The dramatic editor of The Act is taken in receipt of a remarkable flashlight taken at the Booker Washington Theatre, St. Louis, at midnight, December 15, on which occasion a midnight ramble was given to raise a tobacco fund for the colored drafteres of St. Louis, who are stationed at Camp Funston, Kans. Charles H. Turpin, proprietor of the Booker Washington theatre, and one of the influential men he met in St. Louis, writes that $21105 was raised: that so great was the crowd the police reserves were called out. The flashlight is remarkable in that out of one thousand persons in the picture more than two-thirds are easily distinguishable. MME. TALBERT IN CONCERT. Mme.
