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. WHITE SOLDIERS FREED ON MUTINY CHARGE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) WASHINGTON, D.C—The War Department has annulled court martial proceedings against ten enlisted men of station A, 15th Field Artillery, Regular Army, convicted on charges of mutinous conduct. The men have been ordered restored to duty on the opinion of the reviving authority that the proceedings were due entirely to the "capacious conduct of an inexperienced officer." The officer himself may face charges FRANK DOWNING KILLS HIMSELF: TAKES GAS Frank Downing, well known in Brooklyn and New York, committed suicide by inhaling gas at his residence, 100 Fifth street, Brooklyn, Saturday night. He was found by his wife Sunday norning dead with a gas tube in his mouth. Financial troubles are said to have prompted Mr. Downing to take his life. The deceased is survived by a widow one child, a father and a sister. 4,000 TAKE PART IN PARADE AT MOBILE (Special to The New York Acz.) Mobile, Alabama.—The colored people of Mobile, under the auspices of the Mobile Emancipation Association, Dr. E. T. Belsaw, chairman, and including such well known colored business and professional men as Clarence W. Allen, undertaker; James T. Peterson, Dr. C. First Johnson and Charles W. Peters, had charge of the exercises. The parade, beginning at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, led by the officers of the Emancipation Association, paraded the main streets of the city. Four brass bands from Moss Point, Miss. Pensacola, Fl. New Orleans, La., and Mobile, furnished music for the parade. About 4,000 men were in line, representing nearly every secret society, benevolent association and industrial organization in the city. 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. Carpenter, a recent graduate of the High School, called at a local navy recruiting station to learn what positions were open to colored men who enlisted in that branch of the service, they were advised by the officer, in charge that the only positions open at the present were those of ness men and waiters. 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. Haynes, well known as originator of the Haynes razor strip, and until a few months ago proprietor of one of Haynes' popular eating places, died January 1 after a loving illness she had been in for more than a year.

Brown, omnivating. The Hotel Bellmen's Association. The Late JOHN D. THOMAS, No. 2. of which he was president for three successive years, also conducted their ceremonies led by Charles Hill, the acting president, and assisted by the Lodge's Auditors. A paper of our late life was read by Secretary Herry Hicks. George Lefetter sang a solo, "Morn Eternal." The deceased was a member of the Adelphic Union Lose of F & A M. King David Constory, and Medina Temple, which gave him all of the last rites, conducted by St. Clair-Edwards, Worshipful Master, and Eugene Hummer, Most Wise Master. Members of the banquet Beneficial Association were in attendance. 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. C., 38 years ago, and finished both public and high school. He was a student at Howard University, which he learnt came to this city. He is survived by two brothers, Noble and Arthur Thomas. The remains were interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. 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. All are invited to attend. CHOSEN FOR OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) WILBERFORD, Ohio—President W. S.

TEACHERS PASS RESOLUTIONS Florida Teachers' Association Holds Interesting Session at Daytona WANT RACE ROOTS PROGED Ask for More Equitable Distribution of Public School Funds—Want to Strengthen Friendly Feeling Existing Between the Two Races in This Country. (Special to The New York Ack.) Daytona, Fla.—The meeting of the Florida Teachers' Association held here December 26, 27, 28, was, in the opinion of such old timers as Prof. W. T. B. 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. The review was prepared and read by R. J. Hawkins of the faculty of the A. & M. College, Tallahassee. the platform addresses by Hon. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education; Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater Fund Jackson Davis, field agent of the General Education Board; W T. B. Williams of the Jeanes and Slater Funds and Hon. W. N. Sheats, State Superintendent of Education, were all strong appeals for an awakening of greater interest and enthusiasm in the work of education in Florida.

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." a ee aaa aaa. - 7 re 7 a at {f your hair as short. thin, falling out or breaking of, you , shontd aor delay, but write at once for sams MME.C.

A gratifying feature of the pass age of time from 1917 to 1918 ha: been the prompt and ready re sponse of the readers of ‘The Age in renfewing their subscriptions fo the year.

Time was when the holiday seasor ~marked difficulty in making collec tions, but.a_new spirit seems tc have possessed our readers this year, in taking advantage of the close of the year to balance theit accounts and advance their expira- tion' dates. 7 ‘The expressions that accompany many of these remittances make most interesting reading, as_ will be segn by some of those pub- lished in this issue. Most of them express complimentary opinions re- garding The. Age and 1s policy, but are nevertheless’ discriminating in their praise. The various rea- sons stated’ for desiring the con- tinuance of their subscriptions are enlightening and valuable as an, in- dex to the growth of thoughtful reflection among our reading peo- ple. : The Age appreciates the contin- wane 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 fune- tions as an advocate of the claims ef the race to justice and a record- er of the progress of the cause in the court of public-opinion.

HARLEM’S OPPORTUNITY. ‘The Negro colony located in Harlem, “with a population esti- mated at 70,000, has a unique op- portunity to demonstrate~the ca- pacity of the race for self-develop- ment. Situated in the midst of the most highly civilized urban sec- tion of the country, it has such ad- vantages to start with as a modern city affords in the way of housing, schools, libraries, public bath, rapid transit, etc. Employment is read- ily securéd 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 culti- vated and the various forms of public and racial utility to which it may be harnessed. ~ Commercial enterprise has started ‘ell in the development of .various real estate operations in this section with the Negro as, tlie 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 haridled. Other avenues of commercial ac- tivity 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 dis- continue its Christmas, banking fea- ture for lack of space, would indi- cate that the field is ripe for an in- stitution of this kind under race auspices, There is need for finan- cial development as well as com- mercial, 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 mod- em church structures been erected or acquired, but institutional church. work has been vigorously, prosecttt- ed. Of course, there remains miuch 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 loyal rights of the community do not lack qual- ified practitioners in the branches of medicine nd the law, the Jatter profession having just + « tributel one of its members to ant 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 inthe years to come. ‘ Let some concrete achievement be recorded for the year of 1918, Let us give ‘serious thought’ to these thingk and make a real be- ginning.

VIEWS and:-REVIEWS. : THE BLACK CROSS. : The membership committee of the Gulf Division of the Ameriy can 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 docs 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 com- mittee should expect them to contribute to the American Red Cross. | Somg 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 speciaf appeals ‘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 ap- peal might have been headed, “An appeal of the American Red Cross and the Black Cross?” 2 But the difference referred to above was not the oiily difference between the two pamphlets. The appeal to “America” was printed with a red cfoss 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 organizatign 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? or oe . + In the “Black Cross” appeal there is the following paragraph: “Each person joining the Red Cross during the Christmas Member- ship Drive will be given a receipt for his or hee money; he will be given a bution which may be proudly worn as evidence that the wearer is a member of our great organization, and performing a patriotic and, hu- manitarian 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 prgan- ization’ does not feel that it can place the red cross even upon the printed appeals which it sends out to colored people for their moncy, 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 contri- bute to the fund. What will they issue, a button wtih a black cross? Calculate the amount of pride Such an emblem will inspire in the breasts of the Colored’ Americans of Alabama, Louisiana and Missis- sippi who might contribute to the fund for American soldiers. Imag- ine the “patriotic” and “humanitarian” sentiments it will arouse? This “Black Cross” pamphlet contains also the following words: “A magniticent 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 itseli for the Red Cross to prove its patrivtism, and in this great struggle and sac- ritice 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 ci proof rests more heavily upoi the white people of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. But this case against the Red Cross does hot lie only against the Gulf Division, it lies in varying degrees against the whole organ- ization. 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 organi- zation in this state Is the Red Cross a mobilization of our natural resources or sume sort of ah exclusive society? . .

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 goverried. ‘There must be created some interna- tional 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 ac- ceptable,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 “in- habitants” 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 settle- ménts as these are arrived at, the Allies will ave fought in vain for democracy. humanity and the integrity of the smaller nations. But “those yoverned” 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 permarient 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 fur- ther; in that the President stated that the United States could not in settlement deal with the Imperial Government of Germany, and inti- mated shat 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. ey Since the above fines were written, President Wilson in answer to the Brest-Litovsk peace terms has addressed Congress and re- stated the American war aims. Ile is more definite and more con- erete 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 « good deal of abuse in the past few weeks, but it is likely, afterall, that they are Wie ones who will open the way to a general peace. * + AGAIN, THE WORLD AND THE SOUTH. he 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 mote will Northern Democrats kelp to uirneover the control of the Gov- ernment to their Southern colleagues: In an editorial, this great Democratic and Administration daily saysY "In most cases men having little experience except as office-holders have been carried by the seniority tule into legislative réspousibilities for which they are Wholly unfitted * © ~ they have been narrowly sectional or in- compatent,” This coincides with what we said in these columns when the Southern regime first came into power. How ig tt possible fora 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 dread which the present erisis dethands in both vision and action* t : It is not possible,” And before it can be, the quilification for representing a Southern State in Congress must be something more than record for race prejudice.
