NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE ADVISES NEGRO WORKMEN TO AFFILIATE WITH THE FEDERATION OF LABOR More than ordinary interest was manifested in the three days' conference of the National Urban League, held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Delegates from many of the league's affiliated bodies, there being twenty-five throughout the country, were in attendance and contributed to the exchange of ideas and methods by which the work of the league can be made more effective. The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. :: :: VOL. XXXI. NO. 20. NATIONAL UR NEGRO WO WITH THE More than ordinary interest w conference of the National Urban day and Thursday of last week. league's affiliated bodies, there be country, were in attendance and con and methods by which the work o effective. The largest and most interesting meeting of the conference was held Thursday evening at the Russell Sage Foundation Building, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, presid- ing. After a few remarks by L. Hol- lingsworth Wood, president of the Dr. Moton was introduced. Dr. Moton expressed the opinion that the race is facing one of the most hopeful situations since freedom; that the war, which is unfortunate in many ways, brings to the Negro opportunities and advantages which are hard for members of the race to estimate. Dr. Moton stated that the migration of the Negro to the North had its advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages are that Negroes are getting some of the best white people, receiving better opportunities for education in the North and better opportunities for employment in their trades. And Mosauro Up to Opportunities. Continuing, the speaker said: "The point on which the league should make the strongest plex, the thing that ought interest them most, is that the Negro will measure up to the opportunities that are coming to him. This is a seri- sation that we ought to face. The Negro should be urged to hold his job the war is over; to do his work so that he will become indispensable. I will mean possible to help our race meet the demands that confront them." Dr. Moton believes that the Negro should be urged to remain in the South far as possible in order to cultivate the farms to which work he is naturally adapted. Speaking in part on "What Attitude Shall the Negro and His Friends Assume Toward the New Attitude of the American Federation of Labor?" Horace Bridges, member of the Executive Board of the Chicago Urban League, said in part: It is important to make it clear that this organization is not a lab union organization, but on the other hand it is equally removed from being a strike breaking organization. It stands for absolute equality of opportunity as between the white laborer and the colored laborer. Our principle is a very simple one. Wherever we are asked to provide a colored worker to do work which was formerly done by white men, we ask for that man the same wage for the same work; the same hours, the same conditions, absolutely no difference because of his skin happens to be of a darker hue. Equal opportunity for advancement if the man demonstrates that he deserves it. Our point both to the emplovers and to the laborer is that you shall not refuse a man work because of his racial origin, or because of color of his skin. "If a man is a bad workman or if he proves an unreliable character, dismiss him whether he be black or white, all we ask is general and fair equality. Do not deny a man the opportunity of education and then point to his ignorance as an excuse for his unfitness. In order that an human being may be proficient in any line there must be an opportunity for him to become proficient, and so we say to the unions do not close your doors against the colored laborer and then point to his inefficiency as an excuse for his not being employed." The Negro in the North tacay is here for the very same reason—in response to the very same causes that formerly use to bring the floods of immigrants from the old world. The reason is this because the northern industries need him, and because we want him. Northerners are responsible for the Negro present among us. Sterly for their own interests, the organized labor unions should throw open doors to the Negro laborers. If the labor unions refuse to the colored laborers, then they will be themselves putting into the hands of the muscuers a weapon to use against them. Because the men must live. The Negro naturally won't take a low wage if he can get a higher one; he knows that the firm offers him $3 a day for his services and another would offer $4 per day for the same services, he would go to the firm that offers $4. Inunning up ladies and gentlemen, the truth is that when you look at the basis of Americanism in the broad light, we find that democracy means equality in every sense of the word." George Foster Peabody, one of the country's most patriotic citizens, now being introduced by Dr. Motson, said: "Mr. Motson, Lady and Gentlemen, I have counted it a privilege for forty years, of more to be associated with the people of the Negro race who care and who are now realizing their opportunity. There is one man and one The New York Age woman who count a great deal because of their color. There are several millions of these people whose opportunities have been limited—who have been under deep loads of prejudice. My real interest in this work has been the interest as in the economic foundations of righteousness. We have in this State a man of great eninence in certain ways for his great reputation throughout the world, who continually puts before us the obligation to be righteous. I have been interested in all of this work for the Negro particularly, as in other activities that I may have privileged to enter upon, because I believe that it is important that mankind should realize that it is righteousness that exalteth a nation. I hope that the Negro will connect with this equality that Mr. Bridges has been telling us about tonight the thought that he must also be righteous. I think it is very wrong and very stupid of my fellow citizens that the Negro has been prevented to enjoy the same privileges that they enjoy. But the white man has also been a slave to those higher up in society away back in the days when the Negroes were slaves. It is essential that the people who have not so much education and so much property should have the sense of right dealing. I count much on this great contest that we are beginning, and I firmly believe that things are going to be mighty different after the war. I also believe that by the Negro's being righteous, by his being patient, and by his close living to God he will finally win the entrance to the trade unions as well as other forms of equality." Dr. A. A. Graham of Pheobus, Va., chairman of the Executive Board of the Negro Organization Society of Tampton, said in part: "As to this question of union labor, my learned friend said that we are to deal with the employers and then we are to deal with the leaders of the unions. I think that the proper advice should be given to the black man asto what he should do. The chance that the Negro has gotten so far is the chance that the white man had to give him. The old sentiment heretofore has been, if it pays to educate the Negro, educate him; if it pays to keep him well, keep him well. We say, if the American Federation of Labor opens its doors to the Negro that he should walk in. "Wherever the Negro gets the chance to co-operate with the white people of this country, I say he should do it. The labor unions in Norfolk are opening their doors because they find that it is to their advantage; and I am glad to find that they are doing that thing in my community. The Negro wants a chance to be a brother to the other man in his country. He loves everything in his country and what he wants is a chance to express this love; and since the door is open to him he is going to show this love. There would never have been a draft law here if the white people have volunteered like the colored people. There were ten black men to volunteer to one white man. He is loyal to the country which is his home." "The question with the Negro is not what is the Negro going to do, but what are the white people going to let him do. Going to let him be an officer in the army—yes, but just so far, going to let him go into the navy yet, but just so far; going to let him go into the unions yet, but just so far. I am glad that the men here tonight have expressed themselves as being willing to do their part towards giving the Negro an equal opportunity with the white men" William C. Graves, representative of fulks Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, said the Negro must have the hope, the prayer and the patience of the missionary. He must have a cock leg and the cork leg is the Urban League John R. Shillady, the newly-appointed secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said "The most important thing in the world is to make your living. He then spoke of a trip made by one of the Advancement employees during the recent migration of Negroes northward. When he asked a man concerning the migration of his colored brethren, in the slow Southern fashion, he" sited that many had gone. When "same man was asked if he thought white people would lock to this neighborhood, he dragged, "I reckon we have about all the white people here now we can support." Mr. Shillady said the actual physical work of the world supports all of us. All teachers, all artists, all musicians, all intellectual activities, the higher life of the world rests upon the things we eat, the things that grow in the ground, the houses, we live in—and all those things. You can measure the civilization NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1918. of any country by understanding its economic problems. Nothing is going to be the same as it was in 1914. The war has made revolution. The war has made revolution in the world despite the fact that Mr. Peabody deplores revolution—it is evolution also. We are having a great many changes by this war. It will perhaps bring about in the next year, what it might have taken fifty or a hundred years to bring about. It will bring about a great economic change. The American Federation has shown greater willingness than heretofore to admit to its employ colored men. The labor unions only do this—like everybody else—when they have to. Everybody is willing to fight for their country, to die for it, but they won't think for it. We always move under some stimuli. The great migrator of the colored people from the South, the North, due to the scarcity of bor—due to the war—this related to the re-reconstruction in immigration—has made it possible for the colored people to be in a more advantageous position than before." Emmett Scott Optimistic. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, said: the Secretary of War, said: "It seems almost like an anti-climax to ask another speaker to follow Mr. Wood's remarks, and to follow these other remarks to which I have listened this evening. Dr Moton thought that the colored people should have some in Washington to represent them during these times of stress and storm; so I have been yanked away from the work I live so well at Tuskegee to serve in Washigton.

I.-After a tour of the camp Friday of last week, under the guidance of Capt. George Hlarvey of Company A. 308th Infantry, Lieut. Col. J. S. O'Meara of Quebec, Eighth Regiment Royal Rifles, declared he was very favorably impressed with all that he saw, laying particular stress upon the 367th Infantry, the colored soldiers, who are commanded by Colonel James A. Moss. These observation were made known to Brigadier General Johnson. The 367th which is largely made up of Negroes from New York, is not a part of the Seventy-seventh Division which has its headquarters at Kansas City The lieutenant colonel covered considerable ground, despite the fact that he spent nearly an hour watching the colored soldiers drill. By sheer change it happened that half the strength of the outfit was out on the parade grounds when he happened by. There was plenty for him to watch. The men were maneuvering in squads, platoons and companies, each distinct company working independently of the others. The men had not the faintest idea that they were under inspection and their work was simply the hard daily grind which they are going through. That they came in for especial comment from the visiting officer speaks well for their progress, as they did not get fairly started in their work until well along in November. It is generally accepted in camp that the colored soldiers will be "hell with the cold steel," as the men refer to the biggest. A bayonet class was hacking at, at the dummies during the time the lieutenant colonel watched them. Discussing his inspection tour informally, Lieutenant Colonel O'Meara said the Negroes were among the snappiest and most responsive units he encountered, and further stated that if he were given his choice of assignments he would prefer that regiment above all lothers. According to one of the officers who heard him, "he could not see any other outfit but those Buffaloes," as the regiment is known. PRIVATE PROCTOR DIES WITH PERSHING FORCES News has been received from France that Private Proctor of the New York 15th Infantry died recently of peritonitis. Mrs. Proctor was greatly shocked to learn of her husband's death, having only a few days before received a letter from Private Proctor stating that he was in good health. The Proctors reside at Jamaica, L. I. The deceased was the son of Rev. J. M. Proctor, formerly pastor of the A. M. E. Church, Jamaica. SO SUITS AND HATS, REAM-HEATED FLATS, GOAL IS LOW.

CAMPAIGN NOW ON IN BROOKLYN The twelve branches of the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. launched a big financial campaign Thursday of this week which will extend over a period of ten days. The object of the campaign is to raise $200,000 which is needed to pay off the present indebtedness carried by the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. as a whole. The chief beneficiary of this campaign will be the Carlton Avenue Branch, which will receive $60,000 if the campaign is a success. This amount is necessary to finish payment on the creation and the furnishing of the new building in Carlton avenue, which is expected to be completed within the next few weeks. The total cost, including land, building and furnishings will amount to $212,000. The building will have every feature, including bowing alays, swimming pool and gymnasium. When the contract for the building was signed last May it was realized that the costs would amount to a much larger sum than had been subscribed. The Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. however, faced the situation of proceeding with the building's operations in spite of the high costs or of losing all the big subscriptions that had been received and postponing the whole undertaking for some years. It was decided to proceed in the faith that the remainder of the money needed could be procured and with the teeling that the building was needed and should not be deferred indefinitely. The men of the Carlton Avenue Branch and its friends have been asked to do their part in this campaign to free the new building of its indebtedness. A campaign executive committee and ten campaign teams have been organized and will canvass the colored population of Brooklyn during the ten days following February 7th. The amount sought by these men is $5,000 and it is felt certain that the people of Brooklyn will respond generously to the appeal. The united campaign will open with a dinner to all the workers at the Central Branch on the evening of February 7. The campaign committee is composed of E. H Wilson, chairman; James F. Adair; D. J. Bruce, Dr. W. L. Bulkley, Dr. C. P. Cole, N. B. Dodson, F. H. Gilbert, A. D. Hampton, R. I. Jackson, Dr. Roland R. Johnson, A. Q. Martia, J. D. Nixon, M. P. Saunders, John H. Smith, Counselor J. R. Spurgeon, W. E. Troman, C. H. Turner, George E. Wilecman and Horace G. Wilson. The team captains are as follows: A. L. Conithier, Elias Tilghman, John E. Patterson, John T. Brown, Harold V. Lucas, A. J. Loring, W. H. Taylor E. L. Faulson N. D. Johnson, Jr., and W. K. Taylor. Branch Secretary R. M. Meroney is managing the campaign of the Carlton avenue Branch workers: DEMOCRACY IS NO SOCIAL DISTINCTION SAYS BAKER TO BE TRANSFERRED TO PERSHING'S TROOPS Two colored men, according to advices from France, are in the last American roll call in the Foreign Legion. They are John F. Brown of Boston and James Bracey of Newport News, Va. They have been fighting side by side with their fellow white Americans, who are Jack Moyet, Mobile, Ala.; Allen R. Blount, Wilson, N. C.; Arthur R. Barry, Brighton, Mass.; Algeron Sartorius, grandson of Gen. U. S. Grant; Oscar Mouvet, New York; Marius Philip, San Francisco; Christopher Charles, Brooklyn; Jack Noe, New York and Walter Raymond Pierce, Philadelphia. The Americans in the Foreign Legion are to be transferred to General Pershing's troops. The two colored men now will fight with Negroes. Arthur Barry, in praising the fighting qualities of the colored men recently said to a correspondent: "As for the Negroes in the regiment, they are upholding the honor and tradition of the legion in every battle. Two remain. A third, Henry Walker, was wounded on the Somme, got the Croix de Grace and was honorably discharged. Confidently Barry whispered to me: 'You can't beat the Negroes for patrol work at night. They crawl right into the German lines. The Boches never see them, and when they do they get scared half to death.'" "They are brother, legionnaires," said Moyet, of Alabama. CARUSO TO APPEAR AT WAR RELIEF BENEFIT Caruso, the world's greatest tenor, has promised to appear at the benefit to be given at Manhattan Casino Friday, eventuall February 8, in aid of the Circle for Negro War Relief.

CAPTAIN MALONE KILLS HIMSELF AT CAMP MEADE (Special to THE N.Y. ARK) CAMP MEAD, Md.-Colored officers and soldiers here were astounded to hear of the suicide by shooting of Capt. E. L. Malone of the 160th Infantry last Saturday. Captain Malone was in his room in the captain's barracks, when he fired a bullet through his head. He left a note to Colonel Young, commander of the regiment, telling him to take charge of his body. Malone was one of the successful ones of the Officers' Training Camp at Des Moines. He was a native of Appalachia, West Indies. PRICE FIVE CENTS NO SOCIAL SAYS BAKER Secretary of War Speaks in Praise of the Negro BELIEVES IN JUSTICE Expresses Views in Letter to the President of Fisk University. LAUDS. COLORED OFFICERS Mr. Baker Says They are Teaching Theok Fellowmen the Principles for Which America Is In the War, Those Vital Principles of Democracy Which Are the Foundation of the Hope of Free People. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) NASHVILLE, TENN.—Dr. Fayette A. McKenzie, president of Fisk University, is in receipt of a letter from Secretary of War Baker, who, in commending colored Americans for their loyalty during this critical period of the Nation's history, puts himself on record as favoring equal justice for the Negro. Secretary Baker had consented to speak at a meeting held last Saturday in Philadelphia in the interest of Fisk, but owing to the press of business found it impossible to be present. Secretary Laker's letter follows: WAR DEPARTMENT. Washington. January 26, 1918. My dear Mr McKenzie: I had hoped to be able to be present at the meeting on Monday evening, in the interest of Fisk University. By reason of necessary engagements in Washington I find myself unable to come. Had I been able to be there it would have given me pleasure to tell of the fine spirit with which this great test of the quality of America is being met by the colored people of the country. In our training camp at Des Moines, representative young colored men presented themselves for training. They devoted themselves with zeal to the task and they are imparting to the men under their charge the military lessons which they themselves learned; but more than this they are teaching to their fellowmen the principles for which America is in the war—those vital principles of democracy which are the foundation of the hopes of free people. After all, what is this thing which we call democracy and about which we hear so much nowadays? Surely it is no catch-phrase or abstraction? It is demonstrating too much vitality for that. It has no social distinction or privilege of the few for were it that it could not win the hearts of peoples and make them willing to die for its establishment. But it is, it seems to me, a hope as wide as the human race, involving all men everywhere—a hope which permits each of us to look forward to a time when not only we, but others will have our respective rights founded in the generosity of Nature, and protected by a system of justice which will adjust its apparent confines under such a hope nations will do justice to nations and men to men. Nor can I believe that this democracy will be attained as a finished thing, but that rather with increased education and knowledge, its applications will enlarge and new meanings he discovered in it. It is not the philosophy of disorder, but of progressive order; not the doctrine of restraint by force, but rather that of self-restraint imposed by men who realize that one's own freedom is safest when that of others is equally safe. To the understanding and maturing of this philosophy, education is a powerful aid, and the work being done by Fisk University is a part of the great work going on in the world by educators and teachers to bring men's minds and hearts into tune with that better order of things for the establishment of which the world is now in deadly conflict.

Carver, dirgetor of the Tuskegee Experiment Station, has just returned irom Washington, D. C., where he went at the invitation of the Department’ of Agriculture, to demonstrate the sweet potato products whieh he has been ex- perimenting with successfully during the past year., Prof. Carver reports that his meeting in. Washingtgn was most encouraging and states that is the pur- pose of the Government to make future experiments with the sweet potato to. as- certain how some of the cighty-cight products which he has worked out may be used in connection with the nation’s war program of food ecbnomy. Concerning the dried sweet potato, one of the products which Professor Carver has been experimenting with, the Rural Newe-Vorker says: - . “Prof, Geo. W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute in, Alabama recently sent_us samples of dried sweet potatoes, the firs we have ever seen. They came in ex: cellent condition, and our people pro: noweed them quite equal 10 the fresh product when couked, It was only neces sary to soak them for a short time, and then cook in the ordinary way. | These potatoes came in such extellent ‘condi: tion, and were so near to the fresh prod: nici, that it seems as if this preparation of ‘the sweets ought to become a grea industry. [1 is possible to produce more food from an acre of sweet potatoe: than can be produced from any other crop growing in this country, and the very hature of the sweet is such thal usiess stored carefully it is short-lived.

Thursday, when their white. waiters struck for higher wages and shorter hours. They were making $70 a month, but wanted more. Mr. Homiller, the superintendent, blocked their demands by appointing ‘Caterer James A. Howard headwaiter, who s¢- cured sixty men to balance trays in the dining room at supper time. They are a fine lot of men and when they took their places at the tables, with pads and pencils at attention, they demon- strated the fact_that they understood their business The superintendent said they will be retained if they can make good, which they can, as they are giving great satisfaction.” CITIZENS PAY TRIBUTE TO PRINCETON MAYOR ‘Simeeckin be Gene thin tone ak} FUESESTION 4, Pes, FONE A: MASS PEED vi colored citizens held in Scudders’ hall the following resolutions were adopted : Whereas, Dr. Charles Brown. our honorable mayor, has been called to ser: vice in the Medica} Section, Officers Reserve Corps.

Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National Urbah League spoke as follows: “I want to make a confession right at the start. I am a man obsessed with one idea. In ‘speaking, as I suppose T must in some measure, for the league. I want to say that we are really de- voted, I hope, zealously to faith in the other fellow as the ideal of our citizen- ship. 1 was-delighted when Mr. Bridges spoke of that idea of faith in the other fellow. I am sure that there is some good that will come out of all these meetings, that we have had. It is so delightful to meet the old friends even in words. Have you noticed that the have been speaking here about what Dr Powell and all our various other minist- ers and friends have preached—right- cousness?

Because we are After an equal start in the race, The man wlio is Handicapped occupies a position that no homan intelligence can gu against The theory that we are going to do something-with organized labor ; that we are going to be taken in or left out has all been im my mind with the contribu- tion that we are making. “We have to tear down so much be- fore ‘we begin to build up. It is the age of long struggle against christianization that we are in. It would seem that our democracy belongs to that man that never is, but always to be placed. When we get it, we chrystalize it against some- thing else. Won't you help us against that christitization?

John E. Nail, of the firm of Nail & Parker. Twenty million dollars is the estimate put upon the real estate owned and controlled by individuals and institutions of the race in the Negro section of Harlem. This section embraces a population of 100,000 and stretches from 131st street to 144th street, between Park and Eighth avenues. While the identity of some of the larger real estate holders is familiar to the public, many are not so easy to identify: The principal reason assigned for this is that the mortgage lending associations "are organized in attitude against this class of property for mortgage accommodation." The hardships of the situation in this regard are clearly set forth by Mr. Nail in the following statement: There is nowhere in the city of New York, where colored owners of real estate, or white owners of colored tenements, seeking mortgage accommodation can receive the same consideration that owners of other properties receive, and wherever such mortgages are secured the owners are compelled to accept a smaller mortgage, pay a higher rate of interest, a bigger bonus, in short terms that are unquitable. Unfair appraisals and discriminations by title companies and most banks are some of the other hindrances cited as impeding the progress of the race in the acquisition and retention of real property. If with such drawbacks as these, there has been property acquired to the value of twenty millions, our real estate expert seems to be justified in the belief that with equal consideration, there would be greater buying and it would create on the whole a better people. Be that as it may, the roles of real estate owner is no new one for the Negro in New York. For considerably over a century he has acquired and lost control of properties in all sections of the great Metropolis. East side, west side, downtown and uptown, from East New York to Melrose, there have been valuable sites, the title to which at one time or another vested in individuals of the race. But inability to hold on to non-productive property until the increase in value came wiped out the equity of some owners. Death and the sale and distribution of estates scattered other holdings, and there are few properties that have survived the passing of three generations, outside of certain strong organizations. A real estate firm owns the land and the Negro has his share of it, as has been shown by the eagerness with which the race will accept a suburban lot proposition. Let the ways and means for securing ownership of city real estate be made easier and the twenty millions now listed would soon be doubled. Let our real estate men devote themselves to the problem of making the acquisition of property easier for the masses of our people, who want to own their share of the land. WITH CLEAN HANDS. Much has been said and written about the rights of the weaker nations and races in the present conditions of the world's war and the conditions that must obtain to make a lasting peace. Last week Senator Borah of Idaho introduced a resolution reviewing the relation of these lesser nations and suggesting: "That in no case should any one be disturbed because of race, language or religion, nor on that account be subjected to intolerant treatment; that every one has a right to civil equality, to liberty of conscience and religion, to the free use of his language and the pursuit of happiness. Of course such resolutions as these are referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and seldom see the light again. But it would require an elastic imagination to see a body in which Tillman, Vardaman and their like are leaders, adopt any such resolution—except with tongue in cheek as political camouflage. The law requires that a suit or praying for equity must come with clean hands. What right would any American representative possess to enter an international court of justice with any such plea as the above: The mandate would be to "show your hands," and the inevitable verdict of "unclean" would cause the dismissal of the plea. When this government carries out such a policy as suggested above to all its citizens at home, its demand to enforce such a policy on other nations will be more in keeping with the equities of the situation. Until then such verbiage suggests more of hypocrisy than any other sentiment. 367TH MAKING GOOD That was an inspiring bit of testimony contributed by a Canadian officer who recently visited Camp Upton, as reported in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. This officer, Lieut Col. J. S. O'Meara of Quebec, Eighth Regiment Royal Rifles, declared he was very favorably impressed with all he saw, but laid particular stress upon the 367th Infantry. He spent nearly an hour watching these colored soldiers drill, while the men had not the faintest idea that they were under inspection. His verdict was that they were among the "snappiest and most responsive units" he had encountered and that if he were given his choice of assignments, he would prefer that regiment above all others. It is to be taken into consideration that this opinion was based simply upon witnessing the daily grind that the soldiers go through as part of their training. It was no exhibition drill and Col. James A. Moss, the head of the regiment, was not present. Then this regiment did not get started in its work until about two months later than the others in Camp, it being composed largely of men selected from New York, under the draft. The surprising part of it is that these men should so soon have demonstrated their aptitude for soldiering, as to elicit commendation from a professional soldier. It is no new thing for the colored regulars to be ranked high among our fighting men, and the volunteers have lived up to their choice of a vocation. But it must be remembered that the selective draft of all those within the age limits measuring up to the physical standards, irrespective of their inclina- MORE TOLL FOR "HOUSTON." news was suddenly flashed over the course of the Twenty-fourth Infantry had been unity to appeal their cases, and that secession had been sentenced to imprisonment what has been termed "The Houston" experience a feeling that can never be extinct of every Negro man, woman and child swelled up a feeling of pain, bitterness and hate by a sense of impotence. Aid it we realize that these soldiers had been guilty and even more than the military law well the devilish and fiendish baiting them what they did. Seeks ago the news was given out that the fourth had been condemned to death in martial; but even this does not seem recent despatch shows: MONIO, Tex., Jan. 30—Fort Negroes of the Bliss, El Paso, were ordered brought here in connection with the riots at Houston, Tex., as February 12.

A forty men of the regiment were sent to the first trial; since that, five more in truth, and now forty more are to be tried.

Department and President Wilson shied telegrams. The race should let the jury understand that we are concerned and that we are not satisfied with the such an overwhelming toll, without and responsibility of the other side. Who, whoever you are, sit down and write. Couch your communication in rest, but let it plainly express the deep sorrow on this matter. When the news was suddenly flashed over the country that thirteen soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry had been hanged, without any opportunity to appeal their cases, and that several score men of the same regiment had been sentenced to imprisonment for participation in what has been termed "The Houston Riot," colored Americans experienced a feeling that can never be expressed. In the heart of every Negro man, woman and child in the United States there welled up a feeling of pain, bitterness and anguish, made more acute by a sense of impotence. And it was not because they did not realize that these soldiers had been guilty of violating the military law and even more than the military law, but because they knew so well the devilish and fiendish baiting that had goaded the men to do what they did. A few weeks ago the news was given out that five more men of the Twenty-fourth had been condemned to death as the result of a second court martial: but even this does not seem to be the end, as the following recent despatch shows: SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Jan. 30—Forty Negroes of the 24th Infantry, now at Fort Bliss, El Paso, were ordered brought here today for court martial in connection with the riots at Houston, Tex. The tentative date was fixed as February 12. - Thirteen men were hanged as a result of the first court martial, and five were given death sentences in the second, but these sentences await Presidential approval. The record for a half century proves the men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry to be brave, loyal and orderly soldiers at all times and in all places—except Texas. Why they were otherwise in Texas is easily answered. Of course it was a crime for them to go out and kill citizens of Houston; so is it a crime for revolutionists to rise up and chop off the heads of their overlords. But already thirteen of these men have hanged for the lives of the thirteen Houston citizens killed in the riot; and among the thirteen hanged was Baltimore, the colored soldier whose brutal treatment by the bloodthirsty Houston police led to the outbreak. More than forty men of the-regiment were sentenced to life imprisonment on the first trial; since that, five more have been condemned to death, and now forty more are to be tried. No doubt, according to Texas values the execution of an entire Negro regiment would not make up for the life of one white murderer of Negroes on the Houston police force, but this matter is in the hands of the Government and not Texas, and the Government should be made to know that all colored Americans and a great many white Americans feel that a half should be/called until something is done to punish the men who were primarily responsible for what happened at Houston. The War Department and President Wilson should be flooded with letters and telegrams. The race should let the Administration and the country understand that we are concerned about the fate of these men, and that we are not satisfied with the sort of justice which exorts such an overwhelming toll, without even inquiring into the guilt and responsibility of the other side. My reader, whoever you are, sit down and write such a letter on telegram to-day. Couch your communication in restrained and respectful language, but let it plainly express the deep feelings of the American Negro on this matter. A NEW CAUSE FOR LYNCHING. He has sent us a clipping from the Shir lth there is the account of the lynching of the Darkest South. He is nothing unusual about receiving a lynching from a Southern newspaper place. An evidence of this is that man people, skip over the ordinary lynch or less unimportant and uninteresting Somebody has sent us a clipping from the Shre veport (L.a.) Times in which there is the account of the lynching of a Negro in that section of the Darkest South. Now there is nothing unusual about receiving a clipping of an account of a lynching from a Southern newspaper; in fact, it is rather commonplace. An evidence of this is that many colored people, yes, colored people, skip over the ordinary lynching despatches as being more or less unimportant and uninteresting news items. It takes a burning alive, where they sear the victim's body and burn out his eyes, and ram red-hot irons down his throat to attract the attention of the general public; and that lasts only from twenty-four to forty-eight hours. This clipping that was sent us started out in the ordinary way. The article was headed, "NEGRO LYNCHED NEAR BENTON," and the first paragraph read as follows: "Jim Hudson, a Negro, was found dangling from one end of a rope, four miles east of Benton Saturday morning, with the other end fastened to the limb of a tree." Now in this great democracy there is nothing striking about the piece of news which these words convey. The only striking thing about the sentence is the needless explicitness with which it states that Jim Hudson was at one end of the rope while the other end was fastened to the limb of a tree. It is probable that many colored readers and most white readers tion. That these men are making good under these circumstances and in such measure, is cause for congratulation. son to believe that it will be accomplished. There is a field of usefulness that is filled through this agency and it deserves generous support. The financial campaign, of the Y. M. C. A. which begins in Brooklyn this week and is joined in by the twelve branches has a special significance for those favoring the extension of this work among Negroes. The object of the campaign is to raise $200,000 to pay off the indebtedness of the Brooklyn organization as a whole. If the movement is successful $60,000 of this amount will be devoted toward completing the payment for the erection and furnishing of the new building on Carlton avenue. Friends of the Carlton Avenue Branch are asked to do their part toward freeing the building of indebtedness. Five thousand dollars is the amount to be raised and there is every real- When a journal notorious for mud slinging and vilification seeks to give a clean bill of health to a well-known clergyman, who has always enjoyed a character for probity and rectitude, what remedy has the unoffending recipient of the uncalled for certificate of character? The effect is not altogether pleasing when the sewer habitually flows with slime and filth, strives to purvey pure and refreshing waters. In fact it requires a critical analysis to prove the purity of the flow. The habitual recourse to evil practices is apt to hamper the offender, when he seeks to act without malicious intent. Truly, the way of the transgressor is hard. would have read no further, but would have jotted down on the personal information the fact that another Negro had been lynched, and then passed on to more interesting news. But it is not only this writer's business to read thoroughly, all the clippings that are sent to him, but he has not yet become so callous to lynching accounts that he can skip over them as unimportant news; so he read on. A little farther down the article became more interesting. It contained the copy of a note that was found pinned to Jim Hudson's clothing which read as follows: This Negro was carried to the Texas line last year and told not to come back; he came back and this is the result. Negroes take warning. Here was enough to arouse the curiosity of even the casual and callous reader. Why was Jim Hudson carried to the Texas line last year and told not to come back? Why was he not lynched in the first instance? Was it possible that the Louisiana mob considered exile in Texas equivalent to lynching? The mystery is explained in a paragraph of the article, which we reproduce below: Hudson was under indictment for living with a white woman near Midway. Following his indictment the woman was made to leave that part of the country by citizens of the community. The Negro, after being left on the Texas side of the line, remained away for some time when he recently returned. This makes it quite plain why the mob of Louisiana gentlemen did not lynch Hudson in the first instance. They were confronted by a set of facts which overthrew all Southern theories. A white woman in the South living voluntarily with a Negro. We can imagine their dilemma; to lynch the Negro would be to admit the fact. So they thought they would cover up the whole affair by making both the lady and Jim Hudson leave that part of the country. Jim Hudson came back, and this was more than they could stand, so he met his fate. Just why the fool came back will, perhaps, never be explained. It is not stated that the lady ever returned. Now levity aside and to the moral of this story, for every story has a moral: this is not the first incident to cause the surmise as to how many colored men have there been, charged with rape and lynched, in whose cases the charge, if the truth were known, was based on facts similar to those in the case of Jim Hudson. FOLLOWING UP "THE NEGRO AND THE JEW." Last week we had something to say about the Negro and the Jew. We traced certain similarities between the two races and also some of the differences, and we pointed out that the lessons for the Negro to be learned from the differences were more important than those to be learned from the similarities. We showed that prejudice against the Jew does not spring from any idea of his inferiority and also how and why the Jews can act as a unit, while the Negroes seem not able to do so. Let us now consider at least one other point of difference. The Negro does not possess the same sense about money that the Jew possesses. Do not misunderstand this to mean that the Negro does not know how to make money like the Jew—although that is in a very large measure true—for conditions being taken into consideration, he is fast learning the trick. But the mere making of money is aside from the point, for history proves that there may exist a race of rich slaves as well as a race of poor freemen. The point we are driving at is that the Negro begs and pleads and strives for his rights but has not yet realized that rights also cost money. Let there be a question of rights for the Jews, and they will raise a hundred thousand dollars, five hundred thousand dollars, a million dollars, if necessary, to help in the fight; while Negroes, generally speaking, seem to think that their rights are coming from somewhere out of the skies. It is no excuse to say that Negroes do not make or possess so much money as the Jews; our numbers are so much larger, and pennies from us would amount to considerable sums. The colored people of New York City could raise ten thousand dollars by contributing ten cents each. Yet, there are instances on record where legal cases in which were involved interests of the race had to be dropped because the colored people of the city or county or state would not or did not raise a few hundred or a few thousand dollars to fight them through. We repeat that another difference between the two races is that the Negro does not yet realize that rights also cost money. A WELCOME VISITOR.

Potatoes are a splendid food, one that most people like, and they are not expensive. One medium sized potato gives you as much starch as two ordinary slices of bread. When you have potatoes on the table go slow on bread. If you peel the potatoes before cooking them you will waste time and potato and flavor. You may throw away a sixth or even a quarter of the good part of the potato with the skins. Also if the potatoes aren't covered up by the skins while cooking some of the valuable material will soak out into the water. Even very small potatoes can be economically used if they are boiled in their skins. FOR BEST MASHED POTATOES. Peel the boiled potatoes, mash and beat until very light, adding salt, butter or oleomargarine and hot milk, a half cup of milk to six potatoes. If dinner is not ready to serve pile lightly in a pan and set in the oven to brown. Potatoes are good in breads, and in some puddings and cakes. A mashed potato pie is difficult to distinguish from a pumpkin pie. Potato used in bread or cake keeps it from drying out. Make the potatoes and beat up with milk till very light. You can use your usual cake recipe, substituting one cup of mashed potatoes for one-half cup of milk and one-half cup of flour. Get your "Bulletin No. 807" "Bread and Bread Making in the Home" from the Department of Agriculture, Washington D.C. to learn how to make potato bread. BOTATOES FOR YOUR MAIN DISH. Potatoes, left over or fresh, may be combined with cheese or nuts or meat or other materials, often to make the main dish of a meal. POTATO SAUSAGE. One cup mashed potatoes, one cup ground nuts, fish or meat, one egg, well water, one and a half teaspoon piment, one-eighth teaspoon salt, salt pork bacon or other fat. Mix the mashed potatoes and seasoning with the ground nuts, fish or meat. Add beaten eggs. Form into little cakes or sausages, oil in place and in greased pan with a small piece of fat or salt pork on each sausage. Bake in a fairly hot oven until brown. SCALLOPED POTATOES AND CHEESE. Create a layer of sliced rice or boiled potatoes in greased baking dish and drink with grated cheese and a little flour. Repeat until dish is nearly full your milk over the whole, about one half cup to every three potatoes. Skim milk is good. Bake in a moderate oven until done. The length of time required depends upon whether the potatoe are raw or boiled and on the size. Boiled potatoes in a shallow dish will take only twenty minutes. Raw potatoes in a deep dish may take as much as one and a half hours. POTATO CORNMEAL MUFFINS Two teaspoonfuls fat, one tablespoonful sugar, one egg, well heaten, one cup milk, one cup mashed potatoes, one cup cornmeal, four teaspoonfuls baking powder, one teaspoonful salt.

TO CLEAN ALUMINUM. A slyice of lemon dropped into the aluminium pot in which potatoes are being bottled with their jackets on, will keep the pot bright and clean—l. N. TO REMOVE IODINE STAINS. Iodine stains may be removed casily and quickly from any kind of material by moistening with dissolved Epsom salts. Dissolve one heaping tablespoonful of Epsom salts in two tablespoonsful of hot water, and when cold, pour over the stain and let it remain until the stain can be washed out in clear water. Then add a little vinegar and inlet the garment in the sun. This method does not injure the material. A TIP TO KNITTERS. When winding yarn from the sketu to the ball, use a small one-ounce vial. Put the end of the yarn into it, and put in the cork, wind the yarn on the vial, and as it is being covered, push the cork end out a little. Fasten the last end of yarn by slipping it under a few strands. Pull out the vial, and with it comes the cork, also the end of yarn with which to begin knitting. By this method, the ball does not roll out of reach and the yarn is never tangled. . USE RAFFIA TO SEW MATTING. Split and dampened strands of raffia used for sewing new matting make a fine seam that looks well on either side if the two edges of the matting are sewed together flat. All wrinkles and ridges can be prevented if, after putting the matting down it is washed with hot water to which salt has been added. The water and an dring thighing will shrink into place. Salt water toughens the fibre and brightens the colors. Never sweep matting with an uncovered broom as it will split the fibre. Cover the broom with a soft Canton channel rag. RIDGEWOOD N.

WALTON.) Whenever I chance to meet a celebrity who is not of the camouflage variety I am, in the parlance of the sage of Oyster Bay, "delighted"; and when that celebrity bears the reputation of being right on the Negro question I then find myself almost suffocated with delight. These emotions I experienced upon having the good fortune to meet and converse with AL G. Fields, the minstrel man. In my characterization of Mr. Fields in the foregoing paragraph as "the minstrel man," I could have garnished the term with such adjectives as "big," "celebrated," "well known," etc., and etc., but this additional use of ink would be superfluous. These are days of conservation. Is not Al G. Fields known from coast to coast and his name a household word in many sections of the country? Is not the coming to town of his minstrel troup the event of the season in some burgs, and are not Al G. Fields and Columbus, O., synonymous? The three-quarters of an hour I spent in the company of Mr. Fields was greatly enjoyed for more reasons than one. He is a veritable mine of information on the subject of Negro minstrelsy, and like most showmen of large experience discusses wisely and well other questions bearing no relation to the stage. Real showmen are usually most agreeable to talk to. They affect no offensive mannerisms and harbor no preconceived notions; for contact with the world has had its broadening influence, permitting them to view life from various angles. Al G. Fields takes pride in the fact that his minstrel company of fifty-five people is the only large troup of its kind in existence today. It is the only minstrel organization with a national reputation left. At this time when the railroads are congested as never before, the Government is permitting Mr. Fields and his company to travel in a private car—a rare privilege enjoyed by no other theatrical aggregation. This is the thirty-first season of the Al G. Fields Minstrels, and Mr. Fields predicts that his troup will see many more seasons of service. He says Negro minstrelsy is still popular outside of New York and some of the other large cities, and sees no reason why it should become extinct for the reason that a minstrel show consists, in the main of singing and dancing, which, after all, is a form of variety entertainment seen at the vaudeville houses. Negro minstrelsy, Mr. Fields says, must keep abreast with the times the same as the drama and musical comedy, and attributes the decline of minstrelsy in recent years to the failure of managers to properly gauge the likes and dislikes of the theatregoer. The honor of being the first minstrel man is accorded "Daddy" Rice by Al G. Fields. Rice made his debut between 1830 and 1835. However, Negro minstrelsy did not spring into popularity until in the forties. Up to that time the minstrel man was seen with the circus in a single turn, his specialty usually being a song and dance with the banjo. Four minstrel men, three of whom were Whitlock, Brower and Emmett, came to New York in the forties and organized a minstrel troup, the quartet making their first appearance at a local theatre in a sort of trial, engagement. They were a decided hit and played to crowded houses for many months It was merely by chance that the --- minstrel men at their first performance formed themselves into a semi-circle, and dialogue was injected because one of the men broke a string on his banjo and in stalling for time made a few witty remarks which went so big that from that date minstrels took on a new feature—jokes. After doing phenomenal business in New York the quartet went to London, playing to a longer run and bigger business. Too much prosperity proved a hindrance, for they agreed to disagree. Each decided to return to America and organize a minstrel company of his own; but upon reaching this side the pioneers of the minstrel company found to their chagrin that minstrel troups had sprung up like mushrooms since their absence. Al G. Fields has always evinced a deep interest in the colored theatrical profession, although during his long career he has put out but one colored show—"Darkest America"—and it was no minstrel company. Sentiment alone actuated him to produce "Darkest America." Some years ago while visiting Huntsville, Ala., accompanied by Mrs. Fields, the minstrel man had in his employ a precocious colored lad who was stage-struck. Mr. Fields promised to blaze a trail in the theatrical world for the boy when he grew older. The youngster was John Rucker, who afterwards became known as "the Alabama Blossom." True to his word, Mr. Fields later featured John Rucker in "Darkest America," giving him the part of Uncle Amos and building up situations taken from life, which the minstrel men had seen enacted by an old Negro in the service of his grandfather and whom the latter treated as a companion. Rucker was surrounded by Sam Lucas, Billy McClain and a big aggregation of singers and dancers. But the show was short-lived as those having the company in charge on the road was not dependable and there was little or no discipline. This was Mr. Fields' first and last venture as a purveyor of colored theatrical attractions. Al G. Fields has been personally acquainted with all the prominent colored men and women identified with the show business from the days of Sam Lucas, with the notable exception of Williams and Walker. He thinks highly of S. H. Dudley as a comedian and ventures the opinion that if talented writers furnished the proper vehicle with situations that best suited Mr. Dudley's style of comedy he would make a big hit even on Broadway. Born in Louden County, Virginia, sixty-five years ago, Al G. Fields, a northerner by adoption is a southerner by birth. He, therefore, has some decided views on the race question. He says sace friction is caused in the South by the bad elements of both races; that the high class white man in the South has always been the Negro's best friend and always will be. "The failure of white employers to provide sanitary quarters for their colored help is a great drawback to southern progress." Mr. Fields asserts, and in addressing the Board of Trade of Montgomery, Ala., a short time ago he aired himself at length on this subject, further telling his hearers that the South has in the Negro a most desirable class of labor that no other people have. Two colored men travel with the AL G. Fields Minstrels. One is "Dock" Blair, who has had charge of the wardrobe for twenty-seven years; the other is Carl Lee, who has seen, fourteen years' service with the troup. Like many colored men, Carl Lee occupies a menial position in name but performs duties of a most confidential nature. For instance, Mr. Fields' son-in-law, who looks after the cash and carries the key to the safe, was compelled to leave the company at Albany, N. Y., to take his wife to Columbus. During his absence Carl Lee is the watchdog of the treasury and carries the key to the safe, which he looks and unlocks. Al G. Fields is of robust health for a man of his age. He attributed his vigorous mental and physical condition to his methodical manner of living. He has been associated with the theatrical business since he was fourteen years of age, but at no time has he been a "high roller." Forty-four years ago he was married to his present wife who is in comparative good health in Columbus. In both mind and body AI G. Fields is a big man. He is eminently fitted to fill the position of "king of minstrelsy," possessing the intellectual capacity, moral stamina and business acumen. He takes pride in the fact that he is a minstrel man, and points out that many of the leading managers and actors were at one time burnt cork entertainers. The picture of Daniel and Charles Frohman marching down the street at the head of their colored minstrel troup is yet fresh in his mind's eye. Hollis Cooley, who knows a thing or two about Negro minstrelsy and minstrel men, affectionately speaks of Al G. Fields as "the daddy of them all," to which reference I should like to add, "and a credit to the theatrical profession." EUGENE MARS MARTIN TO APPEAR AT AEOLIAN HALI Announcement that Eugene Mars Martin is scheduled to play at Aeolian Hall this season comes as no great surprise to the readers of THE Age who have followed this thirteen-year-old youngster's record since he first appeared in public at the age of three and one-half years. The opinion has frequently been expressed in these columns that the lad was a genius and would be heard from in the field of serious art. He will be the youngest artist to give a recital in Aeolian Hall and the first colored soloist to attract serious attention on part with white musicians The New York Sun thinks he will add a new chapter to the history of the music of the Negro race in America. Among the distinctive features of the program will be a group of African dances by S. Coleridge Taylor, a suite by Zimbabist and a minor concerto by J. S. Bach. The assisting musicians will by Lydia Mason, pianist, David I. Martin, Jr., cellist, and Conrad C. Held, accompanist. A new trio written especially for the Martin-Mason Trio by Conrad C. Held will be performed.

Mr. Scott was enthusiastically received and made an optimistic speech. He spoke highly of the fine showing being made by colored drafteres at the various cantonments and expressed the hope that after the war the spirit of true democracy would prevail in this country. The colored officers would make good, "No single group of men" said General Hay, "ever held so completely the destiny of their people as does the colored officer in this great experiment of the Government to discover if colored men can lead colored troops and colored troops follow colored officers. NON-RECEIPT OF MAIL EXCUSE FOR REGISTRAN EXCUSE FOR REGISTRANTE In order to avoid serious trouble every man who registered on June 1, 1917, for the draft and has not a questionnaire should go at once to his local Exemption Board and ask for one, but get back the requisition possible. Under the Selective Service Rules the fact that mail is not received is no excuse for a registrant in the non- performance of any duty. Chairman Ralph E. Langston of Local Board No. 140, says that several hundred questionnaires have been returned to that board owing to the fact that the persons to whom they were sent had moved since registering June 5, and had failed to notify the Board of their change of address. Mr. Langston and his associates, knowing how generally persons in Division No. 140 have changed their residence in the past few months have not as yet reported any delinquent to the Adjutant General as a deserter, but very soon the matter will be turned over to the police and many arrests will undoubtedly follow.

In this school there are over two thousand pupils, 90 per cent. of whom are colored. Dr. Moton in his brief address emphasized the importance of self-control as the fundamental factor in any educational development; he urged the young people of both races to respect themselves, that in doing so they would gain the respect of others; that the educated man ought to be obedient to law and authority, although he did not always understand that reason for it. He said that the members of the student orchestra had played so well had been obliged to learn through practice on the instruments; much of it was drugery, but they were willing to go through it in order to accomplish the ends they sought—mastery of the instruments on which they practiced; that this was true in all branches of education, whether in science, mathematics, literature or the three R's. Dr. E. P. Roberts, who with Mrs. Roberts accompanied Dr. Motton to the school, made some pertinent remarks in which he contrasted the advantages of the pupils in the schools in New York with those of many other sections of the country, and urged them to make the most of these advantages.

Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay on one day or two, but to stay from six to eight months. Water not nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a preparation on one day but to hast do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes.

Kink-no-move is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will it harm the skin? Moves dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-move is sold under a guarantee to do all that is necessary to move it.
