TO PETITION THE LEGISLATURE TO DEFINE SALOON AS PUBLIC PLACE BY AMENDING CIVIL RIGHTS ACT Colored and white citizens are uniting in an organized movement to have the New York Legislature so amend the Levy Law as to make a saloon-keeper liable for damages when found guilty of discrimination on account of color: This step has been found necessary owing to the recent decision of the Court of Appeals, which handed down an opinion holding that a saloon was not a place of public accommodation. The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. VOL. XXXL NO. 19. TO PETITION DEFINE SAL BY AMEN Colored and white citizens are u to have the New York Legislature make a saloon-keeper liable for da crimination on account of color: T owing to the recent decision of the down an opinion holding that a s accommodation. Among the influential agencies to work actively in securing the passage of the proposed amendment is the Committee of Fourteen of which Frederick H. Whitin is general secr etary and Walter G. Hooke is executive secretary. In commenting on the opinion to The Age, Mr. Whitin said: The opinion decides that a liquor saloon is not a place of public accommodation within the meaning of Section 40 of the Civil Rights Law. This is of practical interest to the committee, because if a colored man has no right of recovery, neither has a white man a right where refused a drink by a colored man. Assemblyman E. A. Johnson, it is thought, will be accorded the courtesy of introducing the measure to amend the Levy Law in the lower house. Little or no opposition is expected from the liquor interests when the amendment comes up before the legislators for favorable consideration. It is pointed out by advocates of the proposed amendment that with the prohibition wave growing and the question of whether New York should go wet or dry to be submitted to the voters in the future, it is not expected that the saloonmen will do anything that would tend to alienate the colored voters; who are prohibited because of the discriminatory attitude of the liquor man. Many who have joined the movement to have a saloon legally declared a place of public accommodation wish it known that the matter of being able to purchase a drink in a saloon is of minor consideration. It is the principle involved, they say, a principle involving the rights of a citizen As was feared by some at the time the Court of Appeals first rendered the adverse opinion, there has been a growing tendency to be less liberal in the treatment of colored patrons in some theatres and other public places since the court declared that a colored man has no right of recovery against a saloon-keeper who refuses to serve him. Two days after word came from Albany relative to the Court of Appeals opinion the management of the Bedford Theatre, Brooklyn, adopted the policy of excluding colored people from the first floor, although prior to the court's decision colored patrons were permitted to sit in any part of the house. The suit of Benjamin D. Gibbs against the Arras Brothers, Inc., was the first to be brought under the Levy Law. The case was aired in the Municipal Court, Appellate Term, Appellate Division, and the Court of Appeals. Twelve judges decided in favor of Gibbs; namely: one Municipal Court judge, three Appellate Term judges, five Appellate Division judges and three Court of Appeals judges. Four judges of the highest court of the State held that a saloon was not a place of public accommodation. The opinion was rendered in the Court of Appeals by Mr. Justice Collin, Chief Justice Hiscock and Associate Justices Crane and Andrews concurring. Associate Justices Chase, Hogan and Cayanza dissented, their contention being that a saloon was a place of public accommodation and that Gibis was entitled to recover damages. Opinion of the Court. Mr Justice Collins in his opinion says in part: "Secure to me so far as relevant to this action, reads: 'All persons within the jurisdiction of this state shall be entitled to the full and equal accommodation, advantages and privileges of any place of public accommodation, resort or management, subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to all person. No person, being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent agent or employee of any such place shall directly or indirectly refuse, withhold or deny to any person any of the accommodations, from advantages or privileges thereof on account of race, creed or color. A place of public accommodation, resort or amusement within the meaning of this article, shall be deemed to include any inn, tavern or hotel wheel or conducted for the accommodation of those seeking health or rest, any restaurant or public conveyance, or water, bathhouse, barbershop, theatre and music hall. The next following section prescribes the penalty for a violation recovered by the person aggrieved The New Bork Age or an assignee of his cause of action, and, further, that each violation shall constitute a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or imprisonment or both fine and imprisonment. (Civil Rights Law, Cons, Laws, ch. 6, Sections 40, 41; and L. 1913, ch. 365.) "The parties recognize and express the fact that the legislature did not specifically declare a liquor saloon included within either of the designations a place of public accommodation, resort or amusement. The question, therefore, as presented by the facts, the briefs and arguments of the counsel for the parties, and correctly, is, a liquor saloon a place of public accommodation, within the intendement of the statute. "The intention of the legislature must dictate our determination. We must effectuate the legislative purpose and design as, through legitimate rules of interpretation, we find them expressed by the language and spirit of the statute. By virtue of those rules, the statute must be strictly construed for the reasons that it imposes restrictions upon the control or management of private property by the owner and is both penal and criminal. Its effect is not to be extended through implication or analogy. Equally true it is, however, that the clear intention of the legislature is not to be defeated through implication but beyond that clear intention the penalty will not be enforced. "The classification denote the character and purpose which the places deemed, within the legislative intention and enactment, of public accommodation, resort or amusement must possess. Those places include each of these utilities, facilities and agencies created and operated for the common advantage, aid and benefit of the people, the denial of which to any person would be a discriminatory obstruction or deprivation in achieving prosperity, health, development of happiness. The existing legislative classification is not based upon the existence of a license or franchise from the state to the proprietor of the place or to the place itself; nor is it based upon the accessibility of the place for the public. The places of business of lawyers, physicians, dentists, embalmers and of many other occupations, are operated under licenses and are accessible for the places shops, studios galleries of artists or photographers, and very many other places are accessible for the public. It has never been and could not be claimed that civil rights in behalf of the citizen attach to those places under the existing or any prior civil rights act. Having in view the common advantage and benefit, the distinction between a restaurant or bar shop and the ordinary shop or store, is not broad and conspicuous, but is real and indestructible. On the other hand, many of the places specifically named in the statute are neither licensed nor operated under a license. "A liquor saloon is a shop or room wherein is kept a varied assortment of liquors which are sold by the glass, drink or at retail. Having in view a place of public accommodation, a liquor saloon corresponds closely with that of a tobacco and cigar shop or of a candy shop, and corresponds generally with that of the ordinary store or shop. It is not a place of public accommodation within the letter or spirit of the statute. All successful occupations and every kind of business satisfies wants and needs of citizens, but the legislature clearly had in mind in enacting only that its selected and named and to such others, if any devoted to the general advantage, comfort or benefit, and essential or directly auxiliary to the property health, development or happiness of the citizen." Benjamin D. Gibbs was represented by Counselor Samuel Schwartzberg, who is seeking to bring the matter up for consideration by the Court of Appeals with a view to winning over at least one of the four judges who agreed on the adverse decision LIEUTENANTS NAMED FOR 15TH BATTALION The following have been commissioned as first lieutenants in the Fifteenth Battalion: Edward L.

NEW YORK SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1918. 367TH AUDITORUM TO USE "SMILEAGE BOOKS" Marc Klaw, chairman of the Military Entertainment Service Commission, has issued a statement in reference to the "Smileage Book" drive inaugurated by Mayor Hylan's proclamation which was issued Monday: From letters I have received containing inquiries regarding the "Smileage Books", there seems to be some confusion in the public mind as to just what the "Smileage Book" is. It is a book of coupon stamps or tickets; each coupon is valued at 5 cents and bears the 'signature of Mr. Newton T. Baker, Secretary of War. The books, are in two sizes—one containing twenty stamps, price $1, and a larger one containing 100 stamps, price $5. They are designed to be purchased by friends and relatives at home to send to the boys in the camps who may use the stamps in lieu of money, as they are good for their face value in the purchase of tickets at any of the camp theatres. The sale is intended to raise a fund to equip regular professional companies to make the round of the camps, because Congress in its appropriation made no provision for anything but the building of the theatres. There is an arroneous impression abroad, said Mr. Klaw, that these entertainments are free. That is not so, although the price will be kept as low as possible to make them self-sustaining. You cannot take a theatre holding 2,500 people and make it free in a camp of 40,000. That would result in discrimination against a big percentage of the boys. So a small price of admission is charged. The profit of the theatres, if there is any, goes right back to be used for the benefit of the camps in the various branches of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities. The word "Smileage" was applied to the tickets because of their resemblance to the ordinary railroad mileage book. The result of the drive, if successful, will enable the Military Entertainment Service provide a fine entertainment for the team at a minimum price, as the theatre managers who are allied with our committee are remunerating their services free of any remuneration, and the plays thus far secured are free of royalty. "Smileage Books" will be used by the 367th Infantry when the regiment's auditorium is opened. WASHINGTON MINISTERS CONDEMN 'BILLY' SUNDAY (Special to The New York Age) Washington, D. C.—The colored ministers of Washington resent the "Jim Crow" attitude of "Billy" Sunday, the evangelist, and at a meeting of the Ministers' Alliance passed the following resolution "It is the opinion of the Ministers' Alliance that under the present, arrangements of the "Billy" Sunday campaign, we do not see our way clear to arrange for or advise the holding of any special service for the colored people of the District of Columbia." The Rev. C. M. Tanner, one of the ministers to condemn the policy followed by the evangelist relative to preaching the gospel to white and colored people, has given out the following statement: "The Billy' Sunday campaign, now in session in Washington, D.C. is not creating the amount of interest nor drawing the crowds that were expected. For quite a year plans were being laid for his coming, but at no time were the Negro churches on their pastors given any recognition or allowed to have any part in the steps taken for the success of the meetings. The Committee of Arrangements even went on far as to declare that rather than allow any of the Negroes to have any part, the whole campaign would be called off and Mr. Sunday told to stay away "Some of the colored people also remember that during his campaign in Atlanta they were at first denied admission and later segregated, and also that Mr. Sunday always steered clear, so that Sunday shy, of the race question, and never alludes to bishops, injustice or oppression of the Negro in many sections of this country, and they decided to simply wipe their hands Chest of the whole matter "So when Dr. M. J Wallman came with an invitation to the Minister's Alliance, the Rev. M. W. Clare, chairman, stating that Mr. Sunday was now ready to preach to the colored people in some of the leading colored churches, the Alliance promptly and emphatically said, 'No, thank you.'"

Y. The opening session of the conference of affiliated organizations of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, held to discuss the work of the national organization and the attitude Negro labor should take toward the recent overtures made by the American Federation of Labor, was held Tuesday morning at the Russell Sage Foundation Building, Dr. E. P. Roberts presiding. One of the features of the morning session was the address of William Graves, a member of the Chicago branch, who told of the effective work being done by the league in Chicago. Mr. Graves stated that Julius Rosenwald, the philanthropist, was willing to finance the erection of model houses for colored people in Chicago provided the Urban League pointed out in a practical way how such a step should be taken. Nearly five hundred persons were present at the meeting held Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, which was presided over by Hon. Chas W. Anderson. Interesting reports were made by representatives of affiliated groups. Roger N. Baldwin discussed economic and housing conditions existing in East St. Louis, Ill. He said a branch of the league is being formed in that city to create better relations between the races and that already $1,000 had been given to start the work there. The cause of the East St. Louis riots, according to Mr. Baldwin, was due to the improper attitude of the railroads, packing houses and other corporations. A. L.

Dwelle, representing the Colored Civil Improvement League of Augusta, Ga., told of improved conditions in his city as the result of cooperation between the white and colored people. John T. Clark, executive secretary of the Urban League at Pittsburgh, made an encouraging report showing that white and colored people were beginning to appreciate the work of the league in the "Smoky City"; that white organizations and citizens at first apathetic toward the league were beginning to give financial aid. The conditions reported in Columbus, O., showed that there was a great lack of interest on the part of white people in the colored people of the colored people in themselves; that the housing conditions were very bad and the city authorities were lukewarm in their support. Miss Elsie Mountain, the worker, declared, however, that she was not discouraged. Representatives Make Reports.

Scott, special assistant to Secretary of War Baker, was in New York this week for several days, spending much of his time looking after business connected with the War Department. Before returning to Washington Mr. Scott visited Camp Upton and Camp Dix and was much pleased with the showing made by the colored drafter. While at Camp Upton Wednesday he was delightful, entertained by the officers, the earthward officer. A conference was also held between Colonel Moss and Mr. Scott relative to matters pertaining to the regiment. The local draft boards, of which Ralph W. Langston and Charles W. Anderson are members, were visited by Mr. Scott while here. SENT TO BASEMENT. THEN ASKED FOR FUNDS DURHAM, N. C.—It is reported that a general call was issued here last week asking the citizens of Durham to meet at the Court House for the purpose of organizing a local organization of the Red Cross. The call was answered by an indiscriminate throng, consisting of white and colored, rich and poor. The colored citizens were invited by those in charge of the meeting to the basement of the building, where coal, county junk and other things are kept—women as well as men. There they were asked to be patriotic and work to raise money to make "the world safe for democracy." HARTFORD Y.M.C.A. ACCUSED OF DRAWING THE COLOR LINE Presiding Elder Refused Partial Payment From Bethel A.M.E. Church OFFERED EIGHT DOLLARS Pastor William H. Lacey Explains That Church Has End But Little Money In the Treasury Due To Litigation Over Church Property and Serious Coal Shortage. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGR.) NEW HAVEN, CONN.—The quarterly conference at Bethel A. M. E. Church came to an abrupt close Monday evening when the Presiding Elder refused to accept the $8 offered him as part payment on the church assessment due him. The church's finances are said to be in a bad way. Before the question of giving the Presiding Elder the sum due him was reached the deeds of the property at 82 Dickerman street, were read and turned over to the treasurer and trustee board. The deeds are in the name of the trustees for Bethel A. M. E. Church, setting all questions as to rightful owner. The Rev. William H. Lacey, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, has given out the following statement: The membership has been greatly strained financially through the long and tedious waiting for legal process; the hard winter, with the serious question of goal, the church not having enough to keep the church 'comfortable, so to have the Presiding Elder refuse the money which had been raised for him, was a sad disappointment even to his friends, and is doing great harm to the system of Presiding Elder. Members are saying they will not pay, and are asking how they may rid themselves or the church of such a burden "The incumbent in office can do the office and the cause more harm than any one else, whenever his acts or omissions are not in accord with the spirit of the customs and laws of the church. "The continual toleration of such functionaries in office will bring about a condition where there will be a general throwing off of either such officials or they will have only the pastor and no people to burden "I have been more than 26 years in the ministry and nearly 32 years in the church, but never before saw or heard of a Presiding Elder or minister refusing to accept part of the money due him when offered. These things were not done in secret and I think the general church should know of such conditions." (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) HILLBURN, N. Y.—On Saturday morning, January 26, there was born to Mr. and Mrs. George Powell their twelfth son, and the Powells are receiving the congratulations of the colored and white citizens of Hillburn. Mr. and Mrs. Powell were united in marriage on December 24, 1897. Thirteen children have resulted from the wedlock, the first being a girl who was born in 1898 and died when seven months old. The next twelve children have been boys and eleven are living. The oldest, Kenneth, is 18 years old, and the respective ages of the other boys are: Leroy, 16; Milton, 14; Wayne and Wesley, twins, 12; Tracey, 11; William, 9; Warren, 7; Baden, 3; Clyde, 13 months; Grant, one week old. Mr. Powell says he does not think another family can be found in the State of New York which can boast of eleven brothers being born with no girls in between. He expects to put out a baseball team some day which will make the Lincoln Giants 'go way back and sit down." Mr. and Mrs. Powell are still young people and enjoy the best of health. Mr. Powell says the record will refute any charge that the Negro race is deteriorating. Wayne and Wesley Powell, the twins, are agents for The Ace. I. C. A. ACCUSED THE COLOR LINE Application for Membership of 2 Negro Ministers Denied RACE ISSUE RAISED Ministers Alliance Brands Attitude as "Unchristian-Like. Y. M. C. A. MAKES REPLY Secretary George C. Hubert Tells the Public. It Is Better to Deny Two Colored Men Membership than Lose One Tboujand White Members — Waging Campaign in Hartford to Secure 5,000 New Members. (Special to The New York Age.) HARTFORD, CONN.—The refusal of the Y. M. C. A. here to admit two colored men to membership has created a race controversy in religious circles, and the cry of discrimination is being raised. Members of the Ministerial Alliance of Hartford and vicinity, composed of colored pastors, have issued a statement alleging that the Hartford Y. M. C. A. is drawing the color line. The statement is signed by the Rev. R. R. Ball, chairman; the Rev. Charles L. Fisher, secretary; the Rev. W. B. Reid, the Rev. J. A. Wright, the Rev. William Byrd and the Rev. O. H. Brown. The statement of the colored ministers follows: "The Y. M. C. A. of our city is making a special effort to increase its membership, and thereby its efficiency for service. The goal it is aiming to reach is 5,000 new members. Presuming that the institution is not only nominally but really Christian, and that in its principles and methods it seeks to follow the example of Him whose name it bears, two of our number, the youngest among us, made application in person for membership at the office of the general secretary of the association, and were plainly told that members of the colored race are not accepted. "The Rev J. A. Wright, pastor of Talcott Street Congregational Church and the Rev. Osmond Henry Brown, rector of St. Monica's Mission, both well educated and highly cultured, are the gentlemen who applied for membership and were refused. Being sorely disappointed and keenly stung at their being turned down by a Christian institution claiming to represent the Christ whose commissioned officers these ministers are, they promptly reported the same to their fellows. Hence this letter. "We know that there is very little, if anything we can do to change the policy of this great association. But we feel that as members and leaders of this rejected race, we should register our protest against segregation in a Christian institution fostered and supported by all classes and held up as a beacon light for our young men that they might not be stranded on the breakers of life's sea. "Then, too, if our Christian institutions adopt such policies, what may we hope from institutions which make no pretensions at being Christian? If the association purposes to continue this policy, then we would respectfully ask that your appeals for membership hereafter make it explicit that Negroes are not wanted. For as long as appeals are made for men without specifying white men or black men, we feel that we are included; for we regard ourselves as men. This would relieve both the association and us of unnecessary annoyance and embarrassment. "We are hoping, however, that the inconsistency of bearing the name 'Christian,' with practising and encouraging racial segregation and prejudice may be seen, to the extent that a change may be made that is worthy of such an institution. Shall every other race be accented and accorded the privileges offered by this association, and the Negro be turned away to do the best he can for himself? You expect us to measure up with other races in adherence to law and order. You expect us to be de- ```markdown ``` linguistic, in responding to the call of our Country to keep fight for world-wide democracy; but you refuse to give us the same opportunities to fit ourselves for the highest possible service to our country and our God. "We appeal to its consistent and Christ-loving people, to think on these things and remember to apply the Golden Rule given by heaven's Great Philosopher: 'All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.' *Secretary Hubert Issue Statement.* George C. Hubert, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. answering the charge of the colored ministers, said: "Members of the Negro race are now students at the Hillyer Institute, which is the educational department of the Young Men's Christian association. Members of the rate have been students in our educational classes every year for a long period and this privilege has never been denied them. They likewise have for years participated in the religious activities, especially in the meetings. Some years ago a number of Negro men were members of a Bible class taught by the writer and they are as welcome today as any men in Hartford-to the religious activities. "The only privilege which has not been accorded Negroes is the use of the swimming pool and other physical department activities where the members come into close personal contact with each other." The privilege has not been denied by any vote of the board of managers, but rather by the informal action of the members of the association who use the privileges. The board of managers has never taken the position of exercising autocratic power but rather that of democracy, believing that thereby the best results are secured for the largest number. They have never seen fit to override the evident will of the men to the dismissal of the Men to the privileges which can be enjoyed only by close physical contact. "To serve a very few Negro men and thereby lose the opportunity to serve a thousand men of other races would not be for the largest and best good of the community and the kingdom of God. We do not believe that the many thousand people who gave their buildings desire that the property should be thus diverted to a diminishing and restricted use. "The writer regrets most keenly that racial antipathy still has its influences on the actions of the rank and file of the young men. When a time may come speedily when such conditions do not prevail, for in the sight of God and the Young Men's Christian association, men are of equal value in respect of race and other accidental differences."

The Board of Trustees of the Anna T. Jeanes-Foundation is a notable example of the co-operation of Northern white men, Southern white men and representative colored men, co-operating in a great educational movement. DEMONSTRATION WORK IN CHATHAM COUNTY (Special to The New York Act.) A work in Chatham County is becoming a wide field of service for both the white and colored people - of the county. This work among the whites was organized here in 1916. Seeing the need of the work among the colored people, the Board of Public Schools, established among the colored people the Home Improvement Work in September, 1917. Miss Juanita Conyers, a graduate of the Tuskegee Institute, was appointed home demonstration agent for Chatham and adjoining counties. A part of this work is being supported by the Board of Education of the city. Miss Conyers has her headquarters for the work at the Culver Junior High School of which Prof. J. W. Hubert is principal. Under the leadership of the industry is spreading with rapid success throughout the county. Superintendent Gibson is pushing the work in all the schools. This year two modern rural schools were erected for the colored people of Chatham county with steam heat, new patent desk, and other modern conveniences. 'E. A. Williams, district agent for the State, is reaching the colored people. He has his headquarters at the Georgetown College. On December 14, conservative dinner was served at the Culver-School, given for twenty-four farmers' wives of the county, and prepared and served by the girls of the domestic science department of the school in Georgetown.

Sibley, State rural agent of Alabama, saying that he doing more for the colored State. In speaking to County School Board and the superintendent of Education, he said a finer set of men could not be found in the South.

NO DOUBT ABOUT NEGRO'S AMERICANISM, SAYS TAFT (Special to The New York Times) CAMPAIGN: The colored soldiers at the camp of the Ninety-second Division assembled in the Young Men's Christian Association auditorium the other morning and sang their jolliest songs for Mr. Taft. The former President seemed to enjoy their gaiety and had many amusing as well as instructive, things to tell them. "I'm glad to talk to colored soldiers," said Mr. Taft. "One of the men I most trusted in Washington, who helped me much in many ways, was a colored soldier—Major Arthur L. Brooks, a leader of your race. I have known colored soldiers before—the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Cavalry—there were no better men in the old army of the United States with whom I became acquainted in the Philippines and in the War Department. "There is no doubt about your 'American citizenship,' he continued. "Born in this country, under the American flag, you have a country to look to in the United States." Mr. Taft in his addresses here at camp has shown how keenly alive he is to the situation in Washington and in the capitals of both countries, the merries of the struggle ahead he has not overlooked amusing incidents. His trouble with the French language, he said, was due to the fact that the people there do not know their language, and the camouflage the present negotiations between the Bolshevik and Germany.

USE INFLUENCE TO GET MEAL-AT HARISBURG Harrisburg, Pa.—A very interesting incident, important for the race, has just been made public here, says the Philadelphia Christian Recorder. One day last week the Rev. Wm. A. Creditt, president of the Downingtown Industrial School, with Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, of Philadelphia, were in this city on business at the State Capital. After meeting their appointment and partially finishing their business, they went to lunch at a restaurant opposite the Pennsylvania Railroad Station. At the time of their entrance the restaurant was well crowded—all the seats at the lunch counter were taken, and only two tables in the rear vacancies. One of those at which two men were seated, Dr. Creditt and Dr. Wright sat. Whereupon a waitress rushed up and said to Dr. Creditt, "We don't serve colored people at these tables." "But all the other tables are full," the doctor replied. "You will have to get up from here and go to the counter; that's where we serve colored people," she insisted. "But the counter is also filled, miss," was his reply. "Then you will just have to wait," she stated. Dr. Creditt was well possessed, although his face turned almost crimson. "Do you mean to say that I cannot be served in this place and there are vacancies at this table?" I see about it. Her reply was, "You can't eat at this table." Dr. Creditt then went to the telephone and called up Governor Brumbaugh's office to report the matter to the attorney, the secretary, but both were out. He then asked the table and the girl refused to wait on him and his guest. Meanwhile the whole restaurant had been attracted and persons had stopped eating, who had completed their meals, lingered to see what the outcome would be. Dr. Wright suggested that Mr. W. Justin Carter might be called to help out, but a phone call to his office and his home did not get him. Then it he did not get him. Dr. Wright Carroll at home: "Is Judge Me Carroll at home? May I speak to him?" he asked, and silence reigned in the little restaurant as though there had been death. You could have heard a laid down; guests turned around to stare at the Negro who was calling Harrisburg's distinguished judge to help him get a meal. After a few seconds the doctor said, "There is no trouble troubling you." He went back to his original seat at the table and the proprietor himself waited upon him and Dr. Wright while fifty guests, waiters and other help looked on in amazement. Dr. Creditt finally remarked to Dr. Wright: "Is it not a shame that such a thing must occur in Pennsylvania? And to add to it, this man can scarcely speak English, and my boy is now a his country, and yet cannot get a meal in his restaurant without trouble." While Dr. Creditt won his case because of his great influence with men high in authority, it must be remembered that very few colored men have that influence. All of which means that a real Equal Rights Bill should be put on the statute books of Pennsylvania. CONDEMN JUTTERANCES OF COMMISSIONER (Special to The New York Asl.) WASHINGTON, D. C.

A writer in the Atlanta Constitution recently formulated a severe indictment against the State of Georgia, sometimes referred to as the Empire State of the South. This correspondent, who is an attorney-at-law, states that the questionnaire required under the military draft "will carry intelligence to Washington from Georgia that is alarming and a disgrace to the State." To summarize the indictment, the showing will be that hundreds of young men, between 21 and 31, are uneducated; most of them are married, and a majority have not passed the second grade in school; hundreds cannot sign their names; 50 per cent of those married have more children than they passed grades in the public schools and 75 per cent of the mothers are in bad health. The Constitution admits the truth of the indictment and says: The questionnaire will show a tremendous percentage of the young men of Georgia, and especially those of the rural sections of the state, are woefully illiterate; that they have been and are being denied opportunities—to say nothing of incentives—for the acquiring of education, and that the state is deplorably remiss in failing to provide them with proper and adequate educational facilities. But it remained for the Atlanta Independent, a Negro journal, to point out the reason for this condition in the following words: The Independent rises to remark that the white man has brought this condition upon himself, in his one effort to keep the Negro down; that the white man-in the South has largely elected ignorance for his own lot rather than see the Negro educated; that in order to keep the Negro down, to keep him in ignorance and poverty, the white man has decided to lie down in the ditch with him, rather than rise up out of the ditch and lift the Negro as he rises. There are three significant points to this indictment. First, that it is drawn by a white lawyer of Georgia. Second, that it is endorsed by the leading white newspaper of the State. Third, that the cause of the condition complained of is so acutely and convincingly set forth by a Negro newspaper. The remedy for the situation is the provision of equal and adequate educational facilities for the whole people, regardless of race or color. When this fact is realized by the people of Georgia, as well as other Southern States, a new state of affairs may be looked for. CALENDARS AND CARY INCOS One of the many disadvantages which the descendants of the African in America has labored under is that in adopting and absorbing the prevailing civilization, they have had to accept as part and parcel of it the avoidance and depreciation of many qualities peculiar to the race. While "black but comely" was a quality not without value in Biblical days, in modern times more stress has been laid on the fairness of the lily than the redness of the rose. Even the black tulip had but a passing vogue among the horticulturists of Holland. The cult of the bleached skin has even been carried into the calendar of the saints, who in the paintings that form part of the mural decoration of many churches of a certain denomination are almost invariably represented as of fair complexion. In fact the representation of a black saint found in a Franciscan chapel came somewhat as a shock, though a welcome one, to the writer. In view of the racial tendency to accept the prevailing standards of beauty laid down in contemporaneous art and literature, there is danger of losing a true appreciation of the artistic values inherent in the race. Of course, it is hardly possible to revert to the primitive standards of certain African tribes, where intensity of color and rotundity of figure exemplified perfection. But there are artistic representations of certain racial qualities which might be used and studied to advantage. These reflections were suggested by the appearance of a calendar issued by a North Carolina insurance company which depicted a simple and familiar incident with striking fidelity. It was entitled "The First Day at School" and showed a little boy clinging to his older sister's hand, as he parted from his mother to begin his school life. The unusual quality about the picture was that the complexion of all three was brown and their features clearly showed their race origin. Yet it was neither a caricature nor a chromo. It was a pleasing representation of a passing phase that told its own story. A more ambitious example of what art can do to preserve the history and achievements of the race was shown in a painting in three panels, hanging in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The panels were severally entitled "The Contraband," showing the former slave as received into the Union lines; "The Volunteer," proudly wearing the blue uniform to fight for the country that had freed him; "The Veteran," hobbling on crutches after the war, but still facing the world with a cheerful countenance. Judging from a critical review of example of native African art now on exhibition, it is not without merit. A collection now the property of the Museum of Natural History, which the reviewer pronounces "unique." consists of ivory carvings. Another collection inspires the declaration that "wood, however, is the material in which the Negro best expresses his plastic sensibility." Whether in the shape of calendars or carvings, there is unobtrudely room for a greater appreciation from within of the artistic values and possibilities of the race. BISHOP CLINTON'S SENTIMENTS To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ARI Enclosed please find me check on THIR ARI for the year 1918. I shall consider myself deprived of a most valuable and I might say indispensable help in THIR ARI should not come to my home weekly. It is serving not only the race but the country by its weekly contents and timely editorial. Your God and humanity. Gro W CLINTON. Charlotte, N. C. VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, COMMISSIONER EDITOR It is a common thing for the American Negro to compare his condition with that of the Jews. The drawing of this comparison is not a modern thing; it dates back to the early days of our history in this country. As soon as the transplanted Negro became familiar with the Bible his imagination at once seized upon the similarity between his own servitude and the bondage which the Israelites underwent in the land of Egypt. This theme furnished the chief inspiration of the early preachers and the makers of the old slave songs. Even to-day, the sermons of the primitive Negro preachers are little more than a recital of the trials and tribulations of the Hebrew Children. It was this theme which drew from the heart of some unknown Negro the noblest strain of music that America can call its own, "Go Down Moses." The influence for good of the story of Israel on the mind of the Negro slave cannot be estimated. He learned how the Lord's chosen people suffered under old Pharaoh, but were at last delivered; and he firmly kept the faith that some day the Lord would also deliver him. And his faith was justified, for his deliverance did come. And it came in a manner even more miraculous than did the deliverance of the Children of Israel; not through fleeing the land of his bondage, but through a life and death struggle between his oppressors and their own blood brothers. But who can say what would have been the story of the Negro in America under two centuries of slavery had he not been strengthened and sustained by that faith? And as the Negro in slavery drew inspiration and comfort from the story of the ancient Jews, so does the Negro of to-day draw encouragement and hope from the experiences of the modern Jews. He feels that the Jewish race is set before him as an example of what can be accomplished by a people with great odds against them, and that what the Jew has done the Negro may do. This comparison is strikingly logical and at many points the parallel runs astonishingly close. Both peoples are physically marked; the Jew, however, in a much lesser degree than the Negro. Both peoples have a history of bondage and persecution. They both have to contend against unreasoning race prejudice. Neither of them—unlike the Japanese—have a strong nation of their own blood behind them to force and enforce any demands whatsoever. And it has not been possible to crush either of them by oppression. Nevertheless, there are points of wide difference; and I believe the Negro can profit as much by a study of these differences as he can by a study of the points of similarity. In fact, it is these very points of difference rather than the points of similarity that offer the Negro the most valuable lessons. It must be remembered that much of the prejudice against the Jew is, of his own making. He generally holds himself apart and aloof from other peoples; and whatever humiliation he may suffer, deep down in his heart he feels a superiority to the gentile. And why should he not? The Jew is the one aristocrat among races. All the others are parvenus. His career began with the beginning of recorded history and continues down to the present in one long line of glorious accomplishment. The great peoples that started with and even after him have perished or degenerated; Egypt and Babylon and Greece and Rome have passed away, but the Jew still remains a powerful influence in the world to-day. The great characters in no age of the world's whole history can be named without raming a Jew. And so it is that prejudice against the Jew does not spring from the feeling that he is an inferior. Indeed, it often springs from the direct opposite feeling. Sometimes the fear of his strength and his intelligence outweighs all the other objections to him. Thus, he is minus the handicap under which the Negro constantly struggles. This characteristic of the Jew may be summed up in the common phrase, race pride. And the secret of his race pride is this: he has produced such an array of men who have helped shape the thought of the world that his equality stands demonstrated, it cannot be questioned. In like manner, the Negro to overcome the stigma of inferiority must produce exceptional men; he can do it in no other way. No amount of mere mediocre progress or even phenomenal progress on the part of the mass can do it; there must stand out many peaks towering above the average level. It is often said that the American Negro made his gravest mistake in thinking of the accomplishment of this too soon, that the thing for him to do is to give up such dreams and apply himself to the common things of life; and that by faithful plodding he will some day reach the top and be hailed as an equal. England produced a Shakespeare when the ability to sign one's name was a mark of learning, and to-day her highest title, that which makes every Englishman proud of his race, rests not upon the fact that she produces more manufacturing cotton than any other country in the world, but upon the fact that she produced a Shakespeare. Every time Negro does something exceptional he weakens opinion as to the inferiority of the race. If in the next fifty years we should produce one universally acknowledged poet, one universally acknowledged musician, one universally acknowledged dramatist, and one universally acknowledged novelist, more would be done to break down the idea of Negro inferiority than could be done by all the faithful plodding of the whole mass. And I say this realizing fully how vitally important the faithful plodding is. I need not add that this idea of inferiority must be completely broken down before the Negro can have a fair chance with the other elements in the American group. Now, of course, we cannot turn out geniuses by merely running our boys and girls through schools and colleges; but we can give encouragement and support to our talented youth. Whenever we find one that shows the divine spark, let us not put the spark out, but do all we can to help fan it into a flame. Cannot some of our men or women of wealth or some of our organizations with money see what a paying investment it would be to offer substantial scholarships to boys and girls in our schools that show exceptional talent in literature or art? I have already struck this article out so long that I shall have more to mention but one other of the points of difference between the American Negro and the Jew. We often wonder how it is that the Jews are able to take so many successful steps for their common welfare, and we generally attribute it to their money. It is not their money alone that enables them to do this; it is chiefly because they are able to act together and at the same time withl the same purpose in mind. Three million Jews in the United States acting as a unit get results. Twelve million Negroes in the United States never acting as a unit, fail to get these results. Twelve million Negroes with little money, but acting in union, could exert as tremendous a power as three million Jews with a great deal of money acting together. The mere weight of numbers intelligently driven would make up for the lack of money. AMERICAN AFFAIR "A BOBTAIL"—I charge were on a form, the character written at the be honorably discharge cut off. Hence "bob" "BUZZARD"—A called owing to the at the top. "BILLY BOWL" soldier. "BLIND"—When finned by sentence c and no confinement called a "blind." "BELLY-ACHE" plain, etc. There are several reasons why the Jews in this country can take united and simultaneous action. They have a high average of literacy; they are general readers of their own and other newspapers; the bulk of all the Jews in the United States can be reached in a very short time through the press, while it is almost impossible to reach the bulk of the Negroes. But perhaps the deepest reason lies in the fact that the Jews are virtually united by religion, whereas the Negroes are divided by reiigion. If all the Negroes in this country belonged to one church there is no doubt that the power of the race for simultaneous action would be many times multiplied. The unity brought about through religion was one of the secrets of the rapid rise of the Irish in this country; they all belonged to the Catholic Church, and could therefore decide upon a certain line of action at a certain time. There is very little chance that all the colored people of America will ever belong to one religious denomination; but something better and just as effective can be substituted. We must have one, great national organization through which the whole race can speak, or step forward or strike at one and the same time. Only in that way can we multiply our power so as to make it irresistible. More of this at another time.

The book contains poetry of every kind that is being written by modern poets, from the most delicately framed lyrics to the freest of free verse. Two Negro poets have gained a place in this issue of the "Anthology." Roscoe C. Jamison is represented by a noble poem, "Negro Soldiers," and Georgia Douglas Johnson by a fine sonnet, "To the Mantled." The volume will offer great pleasure to those who love poetry; and to those who are ambitious to write poetry, it will afford a great opportunity for studying the contemporary practice of the art.

If any one wants to get a clear understanding of what is going on in Russia and what the Russian revolutionists have in mind, he will find the information in Trotzky's book and will gain a new light on one of the most vital movements in the world's history. Negro readers, especially, will find much in the book to think about. The 167th Brigade of Field Artillery with headquarters at Camp Dux, N. J., is the first organization of its kind to be formed in this country for our people. And as such we cannot afford to let this organization fail in its purpose, or even fall below the standard previously set. But in order to do this, we must have immediately a large number of skilled men to enlist in the service. Our success will be determined by the men we can obtain for the various lines of work, namely, electricians, machinists, clerks, stenographers and experts in the care and handling of horses and players of brass and wind instruments. At present the men who apply must be over or under the draft age. They should go to the nearest recruiting office and enlist for service in the 349th Field Artillery at Camp Dix, N. J. We have at present forty colored officers in this regiment and there is a splendid chance for promotion. We, therefore, appeal to you to give this matter as much publicity as possible in order that we may secure the needed men and succeed in this new field ARTHUR E.

Never before was the scope of vocational opportunity for women so wide, nor the chances for even ungranted women to earn money so easily and varied, says a bulletin from the Committee on Public Information. The advice of authorities on women in industry, however, is to the effect that adequate training is essential for efficiency today, and the war has brought into existence many sources of instruction for women desirous of training for industry. The type of woman, her mental and physical ability, will determine largely her wage-earning power. For the woman of fair education the various lines of clerical work offer a fruitful field. The United States civil service possibly presents the most favorable opportunity for this class as the service of female clerks for the government is in demand. There is need in most of the large cities for intelligent women to fill clerical positions, taking the place of men who have gone to war. For the woman in the country the farm offers an opportunity for service. Women in New York and New Jersey last summer demonstrated their ability to perform mutually profitable work in the market gardens, orchards and even in the grain fields. At the beginning of this season the farmers treated with skepticism feminine offers of service; but before its close the women had become a valuable agricultural asset in the farming sections of those States. For the city woman whose physical ability is her chief resource in breadwinning, the factories offer many positions, although again it is the trained woman who is in demand in textile and munitions factories and other centers of labor. Many of the railroads throughout the country are employing women in the freight-yards for the lighter form of labor, and they are in demand as car cleaners, in which latter service they have proved themselves highly satisfactory. The policewoman is also appearing while occasionally a woman is to be seen driving a delivery wagon. Statistics from the city of Detroit show that within recent months the increase in woman service employed in factories and workshops is almost three times greater than that of men. There is a large field of usefulness for the woman who wishes to serve her country, in Americanizing men, women and children of foreign birth in this country and every, large city yields women's relief committees which are in need of workers. Good volunteer war work can also be accomplished by arousing interest in the nation's war loans—its Liberty Bonds and its war savings certificates and thrift stamps. Any woman with a gift for public speaking may become a "four-minute speak- Civilian relief for families whose men have gone to war offers a large field for patriotic volunteer service. Financial aid may be provided, positions may be found for women dependents and practical service may be rendered mothers who are compelled to work in the absence of their husbands. Child welfare work is a primary insurance of the country's welfare. The soldiers returning from battle will shortly offer an extensive field for relief work of patriotic American women. Thousands of crippled men must be reconstructed and re-educated. Volunteer lay workers can do much for the physical comfort of convalescents by giving massage, by helping the lame to walk, the deaf to hear and the blind to see, by reading, by entertaining and by performing other duties to help men who have given themselves to the nation's cause. USE FOR EVAPORATED MILK. The handy little can of evaporated milk has taken its place among the pantry staples of the discriminating housewife. It has been found such a convenience to have a milk that can be used in any way fresh milk is used and that once bought, keeps perfectly until wanted, that the can of evaporated milk has won a prominent place in the culinary department of the average household. The variety of uses for evaporated milk are as numerous as the uses of fresh milk and cream. Evaporated milk is distinct from condensed milk in that it is unsweetened. In changing the dietary habits to keep pace with the conservation recommendations evaporated milk has found a prominent place. The process of making various foods we are just learning to use is of constant interest to the progressive housewife. The very best brand of evaporated milk is high-grade cow's milk with the water evaporated by vacuum process and then sterilized. To use evaporated milk in cooking dilute it by adding 2½ cups of water to one cup of milk. As the milk comes from the can it is of the consistency of very rich cream. In changing your tried recipes so that you will have the same results as usual be sure to dilute the milk in the proportions of one part evaporated milk to 2½ parts of water. If the milk is used too rich it will make a cake, muffins, gems or griddle cakes tomb, and quite porous. Two cups of chocolate, one cup powdered sugar or granulated, two tablespoons evaporated milk, four tablespoons milk one egg or one-half egg one teaspoon vanilla Melt cheese in a small part of double boiler. Add one cup of the sugar and the evaporated milk water. Cook over direct flame to double boiler and add remaining of sugar and egg. Add yolks slowly to the constantly at first that mixture is perfectly smooth. Cool slightly cool and spread. Adding this to kale white of one egg improves this recipe.

OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN Instances of women replacing men in industry are recurring every day, not only in this country but even to a greater extent abroad. The latest available figures for Great Britain show 1,256,000 women directly replacing men. Already in this country 600,000 men have been drafted and almost an equal number has enlisted. The second draft will still further reduce the ranks of men in industry. Women must suitably take their places and, in the opinion of the woman's municipal league of New York City, wise planning is necessary to meet the problems to which the employment of women will necessarily give rise. For this reason, says a bulletin of the league, the report just published of the storage committee of the war industries board of the council of national defense is most significant. Under the auspices of the committee an investigation has been made under the direction of Miss Mary Van Kleeck of the Russell Sage foundation of the possible employment of women in the stores depots of the government. This investigation covered the depots of the ordinance department, the quartermaster corps and the medical department of the war department in this city, in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Jeffersonville and Atlanta.

Eph Horn began his minstrel career io - Philadelphia in 1845. “Charley Back- ‘us, who was with Birch and “Gover nor” Hyman in the San Francisco Minstrels, first “blackened his face in California in 1852, Birch took pains t6 make it clear that Thomas D, Rice, better known as Daddy’ ‘Rice, was not the father of Negro minstrelsy, although fre- quently credited with that honor. He was an actor and took Negro parts in plays, Birch explained, “but be was not what we would call a min- strel” The part of Jim Crow made Rice famous, and the Negro comic opera, “Oh, Hush!" was written for him, full of such songs as “Coal Black Rose." Birch had very de- finite notions of what constituted minstrelsy : “It is not enough for a man to be a singer, or an instrumental per- former, or a dancer; he must be all, and more, too, to hold any rank in the profession, He may have one specialty, which is his card, but, he must be'useful in more ways than one.” No mere actor could step into minstrelsy, Birch believed; and he said that the really great actors ap- preciated the art of black face: “But let one of those poor, how!- ing barnstormers come in, a fellow who never will rise higher than gen- eral utility, and he's the chap who throws himself back with one thumb in the armholes of his vest and jing- Jes 2 cents in his pocket, if he hap- pens to have that much money, and says ‘It ain't Shakespeare,’ But just Jet him try to do it—that's all.” Perhaps these quotations from the imost popuiar minstrel of his day ‘will explain to our grieving corres- pondents why the ranks of the burnt cork heroes have thinned out. As Messrs. Klaw, Fosdick an their associates interested in th historic revival of Negro minstrels are men of high ideals, it is safe 1 say that their views coincide wit those of Billy Birch as publish in the Sim. I make this statemei to ease the minds of those who m: become apprehensive lest we are. be again inflicted with the coars bladder-mouthed minstrel man. Modern Negro minstrelsy is to! conducted on a high plane ar along artistic lines, and the Neg race and colored theatrical profe sion should profit, if anything, | this regeneration. EDUCATIONAL RECITAL. As announced by the a orive ‘He in langural recital of a series of Wve educa tional recitals was given last “Thursda; levening at Rush Memorial Church under the exclusive management of Mrs. Dais} Tapley. The series will give New York Jers an opportunity to hear the highest type of colored artists. To successfully begin these recitals re- quired no smal! amount of effort com- bined with courage, and if the enthus- iasm which greeted the two artists was jany indication of interest Mrs. Tapley must have felt assured that her efforts will Ginally be crowned with success and that ber endeavor to present music in a series have not been’ in vain. In this first recital home Florence Cole-Talbert appeared to splendid ad- vantage and has won for herself a high place among New York music lovers. Her yoice lyric in quality was admir- ably fitted for the songs she offered. Her tones are exceptionally well placed and her breath control enables her to phrase as the could not do were her training less exact. In “Caro Nome,” which is the acid test -for the coloratura voice, Mme, Talbert gave us the audible evi- dence as to how she won the diamond medal of her class. Her sustained work is well done and while her lower tones are light, Mme, Talbert being a youn Singer with an abundance of fiealth and ambition and opportunity has everything before her. 8 Mr, Edwin Coates, pianist, was the assisting artist. Mr. Coates is 2 young man of unusual intelligence, well edu- cated, and is a graduate of the Dam- rosch School of Musical Art where he is now taking a post graduate course. He displayed excellent technic, showing himself well grounded. He perhaps might have made a happier selection for his first number which would have shown greater contrast, but on the other hand pianists of the other race are play- ing Coleridge-Taylor’s music and how are we to hear it and know it and ap- preciate it if we don't hear our own pianists play it? Some of the composi- tions of members of out-own race are worthy of a place on any of the con- cert programs of today. Mrs. Taploye's accompaniments added greatly to. the siagere of tha evening, oC. 0.

Admission free AMERICAN GIANTS i AT PALM BEACH. FLA. Falm Beach, Mas 'Kube_ Foster, manager of the American Giants of Chicago, arrived here Friday, Janu- ary 18, to represent the Royal Poinci- ana Hotel in a series of games against combination of ‘baseball players made up from the Lincoln and Royal Giants of New York Bacharites of Atlantic City, Cuban Stars of Havana and Havana Red Sox af Watertown, N.Y. These players, who have also arrived here, will represent the Break- ers Hotel, and will engaxe ina battle royal with the American Giants. So remarkable has been the work of the American Giants in” previous winters here that a combination of the stars irom these teams has been, se- lected to dethrone the American Giants Few people realize just what the American Giants represent to the Negro baseball. Tliey have travelled thore than any big colored baseball club in the past eighteen years in the United States. They are well equipped as the New York Giants, supposedly to be the richest baseball club in the werld, or the Chicago White Sox. In faét, there are no ball players who can’ change uniforms as-often as the “Pride of the West.” They wear and use nothing but the best. There is no state in the country where the American Giants have not travelled. * The club owns and operates the finest semi professional baseball park of the United States, which was built especially for its use. The American Giants are the greatest drawing card in Negro baseball and have-played tc a combined attendance during a sea. son larger than any six of our col: ored baseball clubs. So high in ‘the estimation of the people is this bal club held that they built 2 new park within four blocks of the Chicago American League, owaed and oper. ated by Charles Comiskey. Even it | the face of such a handicap when the White Sox are turning away thou: sands from their gates. the American Giants do the same. What this team | will do against the new combination is a matter for conjecture. .The line-up of the American Giant: will be as follows: Petharay and Dixon, catchess; Grant, Le Moss, R. Williams, infielders; Dun, Hill’ ‘and Barber, outfielders; Redding. Whit- worth, Wickware and T. , Williams pitchers, RALEIGH, N. C. Ralelgb, N.
