WHITE CITIZENS OF NASHVILLE ORGANIZE TO STOP LYNCHING IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE Nashville, Tenn.—Aroused over the re-State of Tennessee, influential and public-have organized a Law and Order League to s- also see to it that the laws of the country are It is said that the meeting at which the league was formed was the first general outpouring of the citizens of any community on record for demanding the suppression of lynch law. The meeting was held in the Wilson Auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. Building and was crowded. Every man present pledged himself to be an active member of the organization. The following report was adopted at the meeting: We citizens of Nashville, constitute ourselves a Law and Order League. We call upon our fellow citizens of this city and of Tennessee to join us in an effort to bring about the development of a sound public opinion that will lead to the more vigorous enforcement of existing laws, and to the enactment of whatever new laws may be necessary for securing justice and maintaining law and order. so on, until, is resorted or offense. only about in recent year of rape. N to the Negro women have mob knows tunction and sion. Mobi- disease, crime it inc- lawlessness. every state, serious in that it has should not forts against. To comb public sentinel persistent ca "We are impelled to such action by recent homicides in Nashville and by deplorable lynchings in Tennessee. They are symptoms of a lawlessness that strikes at the very vitals of our civilization. We deprecate all forms of lawlessness, whether it be the individual or the community that flies in the face of organized institutions of justice. We abhor all crimes, and especially do we feel outraged at the unspeakable crime that is the great incentive to mob law. Any man who commits or conducts such crimes is an enemy of society. But we contend that crime, however brutal, should be dealt with by our courts, to whom are committed the interests of society. "It is offered by some in extension of lawlessness that justice is delayed and frequently defeated by the technicalities of the law. We admit that there is some point in this contention, but the remedy is to change the method of legal procedure so as to expedite trials and ensure justice to the accused as well as to the people of our commonwealth who are entitled to protection. The remedy is not that lawlessness should be met by lawlessness and crime. In the criticism of our courts distinction should be made between judges and attorneys general, who in most cases do their full duty, and officers and juries, who are often swaved by public sentiment. "It is a noteworthy fact that the Supreme Court of Tennessee has in recent years departed from the old practice of reversing cases on technicalities or remanding them, unless it appears that manifest injustice has been done the accused or his case has been substantially prejudged by the action of the trial courts. It is also a fact that capital punishment is now, by a decision of the Supreme Court, a method of punishment for more serious crimes. We believe that in our courts, reinforced by an aroused public sentiment, we have a potent instrument of justice. When all has been said of the delay or the defeat of justice in individual cases, we find no justification of lawlessness. In the case of mob violence, there is not even this excuse, for its victims would almost invariably have met the punishment they deserved. Lawlessness manifest in so many forms in its utter disregard of life and law, it justice reaches its climax in mob violence. Recent lynchings in this State, this social evil and peril in its worst forms. We protest with all the emphasis we can command against atrocities that are too barbaric to be recited. We condemn any official who may be held responsible for the overthrow or non-enforcement of law. But we are forced to confess that the silence of the best people in the presence of this distressing situation and their unwillingness to grapple with it have helped to produce the conditions out of which have sprung lawless and frenzied mobs and timid officers of the law. We believe that the overwhelming sentiment of the citizens of this community and state is against this betrayal of law and order, but it needs to be organized into definite action. If we do not do something, we realize that what has happened in other places is just as likely to happen in Nashville or any other community any day. As for ourselves, we will be silent no longer. We not merely protest, but are resolved to do our utmost to prevent such catastrophes in the future. Lynchings Unjustifiable. We face a strong conviction that bad behavior under any and all circumstances and is wrong in the adult world. Whatever may be the reason for justice in pioneer days, or of conditions that prevailed after the Civil War, we cannot now defend looming. We must condemn it at all times, and especially since it has become associated with the monstrous origin of later days. If one group of men decides that lynching it justifiable, one crime, another will decide that it crimes justifiable for another. The New York Age over the recent lynchings in the and public-spirited white citizens League to stamp out mob law and country are enforced. so on, until, as the facts established, it is resorted to for every sort of crime or offense. Reliable statistics show that only about one-fourth of the lynchings in recent years have been for the crime of rape. Nor are the victims confined to the Negro race, for white men and women have been lynched as well. A mob knows no reason, makes no distinction and sets no limit upon its passion. Mob violence is a contagious social disease, and instead of deterring crime it incites it. Lawlessness begets lawlessness. If lynchings occurred in every state, it would be none the less serious in any community. The fact that it has become a national menace should not weaken or mitigate local efforts against the practice. "To combat the evils of lawlessness, public sentiment must be aroused by a persistent campaign and propaganda. We propose to publish from time to time such pamphlets and articles as will inform the public of what has been done in other states and communities. Lynchings have frequently been stopped by brave men. There are stories of heroic governors and sheriffs of Southern states that will inspire courage in others; there are acts of legislation that will suggest improved statutes and legal procedure. We confidently appeal to all ministers of the gospel to proclaim in their pulpits and in church assembling the principles of Christianity which are thus rudely violated. We urge the teachers in our schools and colleges to inculcate in the rising generation a reverence of law and an abhorrence of lawlessness. We urge the editors of newspapers, many of whom have already spoken our vigorously against this evil, to continue their agitation and not to wait for a definite outbreak to create public sentiment. We take for granted that women's clubs and other patriotic organizations will take a firm and definite stand for law enforcement, and will resent the imputation that Southern chivalry calls for mob law. We believe that commercial bodies of all kinds will protest against an evil that threatens our economic prosperity. Educate Public Sentiment. "While public sentiment is thus being educated, we shall use every opportunity to bring to bear upon responsible officers the pressure of organized public opinion. We will uphold them in their enforcement of law. We request judges to make mob law a special subject of instruction to all grand juries. We urge sheriffs to prepare for any emergency that may arise. We notice in the newspapers that the judge and attorney general of that district have already taken steps to investigate the most recent lynching in this State. They must be aware of the provisions of the ouster law of 1915, that allows them, or any citizens of the county in which the lynching occurs, to institute proceedings to oust any officer who fails to do his duty. The same law provides that the Governor shall have power, and it shall be his duty, whenever he has knowledge that reasonable grounds exist for the proceedings authorized by this act against any State, county or municipal officer, to ask the attorney general of the State, the district attorney, or city attorney, as the case may be, to institute and prosecute the same against the offending officer. This law has been construed by the Supreme Court to be applicable to sheriffs, and in the case of Sheriff Reichman of Shelby County, it was held that unless the sheriff uses all means provided by law to enforce the law, he has failed in his duty. It is apparent that it is just as much the sheriff's duty to protect human life and keep down mob violence as it is to prevent the sale of liquor. It is also worthy of note that the Supreme Court has held that the officer is not entitled to trial by jury, but the proceedings are summary in character and the judge himself can render judgment on the facts. More Legislation Is Suggested. "While we believe that existing laws if enforced would go far toward meeting such a situation, we favor such additional legislation as may be thought necessary to give the Governor and other-responsible officers full authority to enforce the law before or after lunching. We favor, for example, special legislation that will make speedy the enforcement of law against the crime of rape or any other brutal crime. We would relieve the burden of attorney generals by giving them additional assistance and counsel in the prosecution of criminal cases. We would favor laws and would give the state under certain circumstances a change of venue. "In this constructive program of law enforcement we earnestly invite the cooperation of the colored men." We note NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1918. NEW JERSEY HAS A NEGRO WELFAREBUREAU (Special to The New York Acu.) TRENTON, N. J.-New Jersey has taken a step in advance of the other States of the Union by establishing in the Department of Labor the Negro Welfare Bureau. This was done in the closing days of the legislature last week when a bill establishing the Migrant Welfare and Employment Bureau was passed. The Bureau has been in existence since November 1, last, having been designated as such by Governor William E. Edge, in response to the need of the work of the bureau and a platform promise of the Republican party. The officers of the bureau are: Isaac F. Nutter, Atlantic City, director; T. Thomas Fortune, Trenton, assistant director and secretary; Dr. J. R. Hawkins, Atlantic City, medical inspector; Mrs. Pauline L. Baxter, Newark, juvenile delinquent inspector. Under the operations of the bill the work of the Bureau will be greatly extended. Among those who worked earnestly for the passage of the bill, which had strong opposition from some members of the House who called it class legislation, were A. C. Gibson, George Bates, Elijah Johnson and Mrs. Pauline Baxter of Essex county; James Robeson, Robert Hartgrove and J. C. Carter of Hudson; William Kline of Union; John Huggs of Passaic; Dr. L. L. Carrothers, Samuel Gordon and Mr. Fortune of Mercer; Dr. E. B. Berry of Atlantic City and the Rev. H. T. Van Pelt of Englewood. PLAN TO BREAK GROUND FOR HOSPITAL IN MAY The campaign for the erection of the McDonough Hospital, under the direction of Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair, of the Douglass Hospital, Philadelphia, is making tremendous progress. Four large meetings representing the progressive and aggressive element of our people have already been held. One was held Sunday afternoon, February 17, at Bethel A. M. E. Church; the second Sunday afternoon, February 24 at Mr. Baptist Church, the third was held Sunday at the Salem M. E. Church. Addresses were also made to a great gathering at Mauhannah Casino for the cause. A group of prominent speakers composed of both white and colored men enthused these audiences and created the liveliest interest. Among these speakers were such men as Dr. Talcott Williams, Dean of the College of Journalism of Columbia University; Hon. Wm. M. Bennett, former State Representative; Dr. Chas. Putnam of the Lancolni Hospital; Dr. S. S. Goldwater of Mt. Sinai Hospital; Hon. J. E. Mahlland, Dr. J. D. Nagle of the French Hospital; Archdeacon Baskerville of Charleston, S. C.; J. C. Wrinkham, the Rev Dr. W. S. Holder, Judge John R. Davies, John E. Nail, Dr. Richard V. Taylor, Dr. M. L. Walker, the Rev D. F. A. Culleno, Dr. A. St. Clair-Jones, the Rev D. A. R. Coper anod the Rev Dr. Wm. P. Hayes. A large and enthusiastic number of women have signed pledge cards to become members of the McDonough Hospital Auxiliary Association for the purpose of pushing the campaign and drive which will be inaugurated in April. Some of the contracts of this enterprise have, already been signed and it is planned to break ground in May for the erection of a $100,000 plant—a model up to date fireproof building with complete furnishings and equipments. The next public meeting will be held at St. James Presbyterian Church, West 137th street, between Lenox and Firth avenue, on Sunday afternoon, March 10, at 3:30 p.m. CENTENARIAN DIES AT MORRISTOWN, N. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) Morristown, N. J.-Mrs. Rybcea Johnson departed this life on Friday, February 22. She was probably the oldest person in Morristown, her age being 102 years, 14 months and 2 days. Mrs. Johnson was born in Wooldale, N.C., and spent her early years no slavery. She came to Morristown seven years ago and made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Delia Johnson. She was alert and bright as ever until a few days before her death. Surviving are six children, all married, and at least forty grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Funeral was held at Bethel A. M. R. Church, the Rev. Joseph Stiles, 661 NEW SYNDICATE TAKES OVER HARLEM PROPERTY A new corporation is being formed to be known as the Payton Apartments Corporation, to take title to the valuable properties Nos. 117-127-135 West 41st street, and 130-140-148 West 142nd street, which have been much demand among colored real estate men since the death of Philip A. Payton. Announcement has been made by E. C. Brown of Brown & Stevens, bankers, of Philadelphia, that the new corporation will be composed of E. C. Brown, president; A. F. Stevens, vice-president; Emmett J. Scott, secretary and treasurer; W. H. C. Brown and Herman Perry. houses may feel assured of a service that will equal any in New York City. "In closing it is perhaps fitting to say that the possession of these apartments marks the largest real estate proposition in the world undertaken by Negroes. A proper idea of the magnitude of this proposition can only be had by In commenting on the taking over of the property in question E. C. Brown has issued the following statement: "I wish to assure the public that it is the purpose of this syndicate to maintain the same tone of character in these apartments that Mr. Payton had so well planned out. With this hope in view we have placed in charge the efficient office force of the Philip, A. Payton Company, and the occupants of these LAW INVALID IN BALTIMORE Segregation Measure Is Knocked Out by Decision of Court of Appeals. NO MORE "IM CROWISM" Lower Court Opens With United States Supreme Court and Declarations that Negroes Right the Right to Buy Property and Reside Wherever They See Fit. (Baltimore. Md. — With the Court of Appeals putting itself on record as being opposed to segregation and concurring with the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court that such a measure is invalid, the advocates of segregation in this city have been compelled to give up their long and bitter fight. The Court of Appeals rendered its decision last week which caused great rejoicing among the colored citizens here. The court handed down its decision reversing the conviction of Thomas Jackson, who had been fined $500 in the local criminal court for violating the Baltimore segregation law. Only one arrest has been made here since the United States Supreme Court decided against segregation some months ago. The segregation spirit is still rife, however, some whites contending that clauses should be inserted in deeds preventing the transfer of a property to a person of African descent. Another instance is the introduction of a bill preventing Morgan College from locating within five miles of the city limits, and another providing for the revoking of its charter should it resell any of its 60-acre tract on the Hartford road to colored people for residential purposes. Colored people have recently moved into a number of blocks that have been occupied by white people. An amusing phase of the situation occurred in the Juvenile Court a few days ago when Milton Dashell, author of the first segregation law, appeared to prosecute white boys who had broken windows at 1108 Myrtle avenue recently occupied by a colored family. He is also attorney in a damage suit instigated by the colored owner against the father of one of the boys who bombarded the house. Dashell lives in the 1400 block of McCullah street, where a colored family recently occupied a home. (Special to TIME NEW YORK AQUIL) PHILADELPHIA, PA. - Six hundred new shapers have joined the opening of a new series in the Beiran Building and Loan Association, 1926 South College avenue, the Rev. Matthew Anderson, president. This association was organized in 1888 and has over 1,000 stockholders. PORTSMOUTH NAVY YARD HAS WOMEN EMPLOYES (Special to THE NEW YORK AQU.) Portsmouth, N.

They are the best trained women to be trained under the Commandant. houses may feel assured of a service that will equal any in New York City. "In closing it is perhaps fitting to say that the possession of these apartments marks the largest real estate proposition in the world' undertaken by Negroes. A proper idea of the magnitude of this proposition can only be had by taking into consideration that these houses cover a tract of over two and a half acres, or thirty-three full city lots. These six large, modern De-Luxe elevator apartment houses contain 306 apartments, constructed at a cost of $1,500,000 and are being offered at moderate rentals to respectable colored people. "I am pleased to state that out of 300 apartments there are only six vacancies." CHOPS OFF FINGER TO STAY IN THE WAR Despatches from France tell of the bravery and loyalty of "Bob" Scanlon, the American Negro prize fighter, who, after having been taken out of the trenches because of his stiff index finger went to London and ordered the surgeon of a military hospital to chop off his finger—so fearful was he that he would be invalidated out of the war entirely. Scanlon has been in the French Foreign Legion for nearly three years. When the surgeon protested against chopping off Scanlon's finger, the prize fighter said: "Cut it off!" Then, seeing the doubtful look in the surgeon's eyes, Scanlon added: "Oh, I'm no slacker. I don't want that finger off so I can't pull a trigger again. My middle finger's still good and they won't have me around with my fore-finger stiff. I can convince them I've used my middle finger from childhood and then they'll let me go back to the boys in the Legion." Scanlon was led into the operation room. He refused to take an anesthetic. He said: "I've seen enough blood in this war, and some of it's been my own. I guess I can stand a little more of it. Get out your cleaver." While Scanlon looked on without a grimace, the forefinger was cut off close to the knuckle. A young American volunteer nurse in the hospital fainted as she held the basin, and Scanlon grunted in amusement as a young doctor picked her up and carried her off. Scanlon arrived in Paris a few week later and is now back with the One Hundred and Seventeenth Regiment. His finger has completely healed. He writes that he now has a machine gun of his own and that all is "hunky dory." Scanlon doesn't care whether he is transferred to the American force or not. He writes: "I want to be where there's something doing. When things start up on the American front I want to come over, but things ain't as lively there now as they are here." Scanlon has taken part in a number of amateur bouts at the front and also has been "developing" several promising young French lightweights in the ranks. The American Legionnaire has been three times wounded. PATRIOTIC MEETING AT At St Mark's M E. Church, the Rev W. H. Brooks, pastor, patriotic services were held last Sunday, evening. The building was crowded, there being standing room only afforded after 8 o'clock. J. E. Robinson read a list of the names of those men from the church who had entered the service of the country, either 'm' the Fifteenth Regiment of New York Infantry or as members of the 367th Regiment at Camp Upton There were forty-seven in all. Special music was rendered by the choir. Dr W. H. Brooks spoke in high, commendation of the patriotism of those spen who had enlisted to fight for the country. Col. James A. Moss, commanding the 302th Regiment, was unable to be present on account of illness, but sent as his representative, Lieut. O. E. McKaime, who spoke on the duties and responsibilities of a soldier. Fred R Moore spoke of the loyalty of the race to the flag, as demonstrated in every war in which this country has been engaged. 'The Boy Scouts of the church distributed literature. The principal feature of the service was the unfurling of a service flag of forty-seven stars in honor of the sons of St. Mark, who have answered their country's call to arms. Members of the regiment on leave and the Boy Scouts were the guests. TO CALL 70,000 COLORED DRAFTEI S (EXECUTED BY THE NEW YORK AGE) WASHINGTON, D. C.-Seventy thousand colored troops will be called within a short time, it was announced Monday. This will finish the first draft call for all States. The colored men, principally from Southern States, were not called earlier because the camps have not been established. Jerome F. Donovan, Democrat, defeated John A. Bolles, Republican, for Congress, to succeed Murray Hulbert, by a plurality of 2,102, in Tuesday's special election held in the Twenty-first District. The Rev. Reverdy C. Ranson, Independent, Republican, polled 465 votes. In the Twenty-first District only 26,240 votes were polluted out of a total registration of 56,398. The Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom speaking of the result of the election said: "If the ballots thrown out as void are added to those actually counted for me it will be shown that I carried the majority of the election districts in that part of the Congressional district where I am best known. "Backed by the United Civic League I persisted in my candidacy after many rebuits in the hope of breaking the strangle hold of the Republican organization upon its black constituency and to serve an emphatic notice that the day of the civic and political exploitation of the black people of Harlem is ended. "It is false and absolutely without foundation that my campaign was financed by the Democratic organization or from any source in the interest of that party." Dr. Ransom received the following telegram from Mrs. Howard Gould: "Glad you are going to stand up for the right of your race. All lovers of good government will rally to your support." URGE GOVERNMENT TO AID NEGRO EDUCATION (Special to THE NEW YORK AP.) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-Resolutions urging that Congress appropriate funds for the education of the Negro child in the school were at the session of the National Education Association, which is composed of white educators from every section of the country. The association was moved to take this step after earnest appeals had been made by Negro educators, asking that the Federal Government provide better common school education for the colored youth in the Southern States. Among the colored educators to speak during the session were Prof Kelly Miller of Howard University on "The Tatus of Negro Education"; W. T. B. Williams, field agent for the Jeanes and Slater funds; Isaac Fisher of Fisk University, and Frank P. Chisholm, financial secretary of Tuskegee Institute. A telegram was read from Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who was unable to attend. DR. W. BRUCE EVANS (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) Washington, D. C—St. Luke's Episcopal Church was crowded to its doors on Sunday afternoon with citizens who had gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to Dr W. Bruce Evans, the former principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School, whose death on Thursday was so sudden Dr Evans was for many years a member of this church, and its rector, the Rev Thomas J. Brown, had charge of the services. He was assisted by the Rev Oscar Mitchell of St. Mary's, and the Rev W. V Tunnell of Howard University. The music was rendered by the combined choirs of St. Luke's and St. Mary's churches. The solosists were Mrs Charlotte Wallace Murray and Miss Revella Hughes. The catholy, which was one of the most inspiring and brilliant utterances that ever came from a pulpit in Washington, was delivered by Dr Funnel. The interment was at Woodlawn Cemetery. HOWARD'S SERVICE FLAG DISPLAYS 188 STARS (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) Washington, D. C.-The Howard service flag was dedicated Saturday evening last at Rankin Memorial Chapel Dean George William Cook made an eloquent address in praise of the 168 Howard men who willingly offered their services to the nation His address was highly appreciated by the audience and student body. Addresses were also made by President Newman, A H. Huyler, Prof Turner, the Rev D E. Wiseman and Mr. Foster, president of the local Alumni Association. The vocal solo of Miss Revella Hughes of Washington, accompanied by Miss Mary Edmunds of Harrisonburg, won a great deal of commendation. NOMINATE JACKSON (Special to THE NEW YORK ADE.)

WHITE BAPTISTS ACTIVE Commission from Southern Baptist Convention To Take Part In Deliberations—National Baptist Convention Split at Chicago in 1915—Rev. B. C. Judkins Calls on Ministry to Do His Part to Remain Forces. Memphis, Tenn.—Sentiment for peace among the two warring factions of colored Baptists has become so strong that a "Peace Commission," composed of Morris and Jones supporters, has been named, and March 18 set as the date when the commissioners are to meet in Memphis and discuss the advisability of healing the breach-made in 1915, when the National Baptist Convention split at Chicago. Members of the commission appointed are: Representatives of the Morris faction, the Revs. T. O. Fuller, Memphis; L. K. Williams, Chicago; A. T. Griggs, Dallas, Joseph A. Booker, Little Rock; C. T. Walker, Augusta, Ga.; W. H. Moses, Philadelphia. Representatives of the Jones faction, the Revs. D. B Gaines, Little Rock; George W. Alexander, Vicksburg; John W. Hurse, Kansas City, Mo.; E. W. Bowen, Spartansburg; J. L. Harding, Nashville; S. R. Prince, Ft. Worth. A second commission, composed of representatives of the Southern Baptist Convention (white) has been appointed to sit with their colored brethren and help bring order out of chaos. The Rev. R. C. Judkins, pastor of Salem Baptist Church, Jersey City, N. J., and who has been earnestly working for months to bring the two warring factions together, has issued the following statement to the colored Baptist ministers of the country. "There are seventeen thousand Negro Baptist ministers in the United States. They, all of them, are effected by the evils growing out of the division; therefore, they should be interested in any movement looking forward to a healing of the awful breach. They can write one or all of the members of the commission asking them to do all in their power to remute our forces. "Again, each minister can lead his congregation to a throne of Grace, and there ask for the presence of the Holy Spirit, that the commissioners may be led in the right way. We call upon our laymen and the race papers to join in this movement to help in the reunion of our forces. "Since 1915 our denomination has been torn asunder. All thoughtful men and women have seen the weakness and folly of division, and we now seek peace and reunion. It is possible to have this without destroying any of our workers and leaders, and we hope that brotherly love will soon be restored, and that to the remotest corners of the United States to South America, to the West Indies and to Africa the gladiate news will go forth that the war is over." ENTERTAINMENT FOR CAMP DIX SOLDIERS (Special to THE NEW YORK ART.) PITTOMPIX, Pa.—The citizens of Philadelphia entertained 100 soldiers and officers from Camp Dis. N. J. on Saturday, March 2. A public reception was held in the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium in the afternoon, when Dr. Algeron Jackson presided. After this meeting each soldier received a comfort kit, which was presented by the South Western Emergency Aid. At 6 p.m. m. supper was served the men by the Leaf Auxiliary No. 6 at Red Cross headquarters on 20th street. After supper a reception and dance was given them at White's Auditorium. This closed a delightful day for the boys and showed them that sometimes a soldier's lot is a happy one. DON'T FORGET! THE CLEF CLUB FOLLIES FRIDAY, MAROH O PALAOE CASINO ADMISSION 1 Services at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, in Fifty-third street, Sunday evening were turned into a big patriotic demonstration when nearly twelve hundred persons present were greatly moved by the inspiring talk of the Rev. W. P. Hayes, pastor, who spoke on "The Negro and World Democracy." Dr. Hayes was repeatedly applauded. He said in part: We meet here tonight at a time when the clock of civilization strikes the most solemn hour in the history of the world. The fate of nations, and the fate of our own beloved America hinges upon the decisions of this awful hour. It is an hour for deep heart-searching, strong courage, and firm faith. It is also an hour for caution and reservation. In solemn an hour, we have not here to discuss questions which vital, affect our future as a race, and it is possible to ascertain position and place in the new world of democracy now, with America as a testament to the other world of democracy. "Is it an honest conscience until the war ends, there are unrest until the tremendous peace of the war shall have been decided on the fighting battle lines of Europe before attempting to present our case in its utter nakedness to the American public. From this opinion I wish most emphatically to dissent. "In my humble judgment, the time for us to insist upon wrongs being righted, and withhold justice being granted, and restrictions and obstructions being removed, is now. Why not now? Are not our boys being called upon to offer up their lives in order to make the world safe for democracy? And is not the right to fight for one's country predicated upon that country's willingness to safeguard and protect one's rights in times of peace? Negro Is Loyal. "The patriotism and loyalty of the American Negro cannot be called into question in this world war. The Negro is not on trial either as a soldier or as an American citizen. In every crisis of our nation's history, he has played the part of a true soldier and patriot. Any man who impugns his patriotism or questions his valor in this present crisis is either ignorant of the history of our country, or else he is so narrow and prejudiced that not even the dazzling light of truth can open his blinded eyes. "The Negro is behind his country in this great world war, and any insinuations to the contrary are a slander against the race. When President Wilson declared that the avowed purpose of the United States in this war is to make the world safe for democracy, the Negro at once felt, and rightly so, that he should help his country in the attainment of this lofty ideal; for to him it seemed unthinkable that his country should permit, much less compel him to fight to make the world safe for democracy, and not at the same time make America safe for him. "We have no desire to embarrass the government in the prosecution of this great war. God knows it has its hands full, and we here and now disavow any intention to add so much as one pennyweight to the burden now resting upon its great shoulders. Our President deserves, and will have, the fullest co-operation and sympathy of Negroes throughout the country in the prosecution of the war. We realize in a measure the huge proportions of the task immediately before our government. We are aware that there can be no turning back, no swerving to the right or the left. The lines have been sharply drawn the guage has been set, and there is no alternative for America but to see it through. Every ounce of her tremendous resources in 'brain-power, manpower, and money-power' must be brought at once into requisition, if she would stay the red hand of the mighty Colossus who stands athwart the path of civilization. "This is no hour for caustic criticism or sedious utterances. The pacifist and the anarchist in this country are potentially the allies of the enemies of America; and they deserve short shrift at the bar of public opinion. This is no time for idle desertations on the folly and the waste of war. Democracy for the Negro. "These preliminary remarks have cleared the way I trust, for a discussion of the subject of world democracy in its relation to the American Negro. To begin with, let us understand just what is meant by the term 'democracy'. A democracy, is a form of government of, for, and by the people. In a democracy every man is a sovereign, possessed of absolute and unquestioned authority to determine what may or may not be done by his government." In a democracy there is no power greater than that of the individual citizen. All the laws are of his own making, and all the rulers are subject to his authority. When every nation of the earth shall have adopted this form of government, we will then have 'world democracy'. We ask for the following things at the hands of our government, not as a favor, but as a matter of simple justice. We have a right to expect them to be granted now, and not after the war. Protection from mob violence, the assurance of an equal opportunity and equal treatment with other races in this country, and the removal of economic barriers." MANY COLORED WORKERS AT LARGEST SHIPYARD (Special to The New York Age) PHILADELPHIA, N.Y.—Of the, 1275 men taken on at the Hog Island ship yard, the largest ship yard in the world, last week, 475 were colored men who are employed in all capacities. PASTOR R. M. BOLDEN'S FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY The auditorium of the First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, was the scene on Friday evening, March 1. of a gathering of over 150 members and friends of the Kev, and Mrs. Richard M. Bolden, the occasion being the reception tendered Pastor Bolden by his wife on the celebration of his 40th birthday.

To meet this need, a Southern white woman, who has for many years shown interest in andpathy for colored people, has undertaken the organization of a press service which will bring to the attention of the white South the facts and actions of the best of the Negro race in the South The purpose and method of this service is set forth as follows, in the words of the individual who will conduct it: The best white and the best colored people are coming in touch with one another. They are understanding one another better than they did and they are beginning to do together one constructive things in every state of the South; but those things do not get into the newspapers. Our idea is that if the best things could be taken up and written out and sent to the newspapers, the newspapers could be induced to publish them. This publicity would offset the present propaganda of misunderstanding. It would make us a little better acquainted with one another and would teach men everywhere that the best element in the South does not really stand for the things that the best South is commonly supposed to stand for. The idea appeals to us as a good one, that should be productive of fruitful results in the hands of a properly equipped agency. We have every reason to believe that such will be the case in the present instance, judging from the character and standing of the sponsors for the movement. Let it be given a fair trial, at all events. UNSENTIMENTAL OPINIONS. So much has been said as to the capabilities of the Negro as a soldier that more on that subject would appear to be superfluous. However, there are two recent expressions, based upon the showing of the battalion of the 367th Regiment, on Washington's Birthday, which possess unusual significance as denoting viewpoints of the widest dissimilarity yet agreeing in the essential result. The first expression was that of the Pure Food Squad of Public School No. 40, twenty-five boys from nine to twelve years, who are being brought up to normal weight by well-balanced diet. According to the New York Family Son. Like some military units, the boys thought especially. Negro troops who matched all of the twenty-five boys were the only ones who made the ing. The other comment was included. One must have watched with critical, careful attention the battalion of Negro troops in the column. Primarily there was the general question of the advisability of using the Negro as a soldier; as a secondary proposition, there came the question as to whether he could officer a command. The battalion answered the two questions handsomely. On the basis of the training and fitness of the Negroes it will be a very great mistake to deprive the country of the benefit of the 1,000,000 men that can easily come from their race to serve under the flag. Those in training represented by the battalion on Friday have been handled by officers of their own race with dignity and abitity. It is especially gratifying to find this critical verdict rendered in a daily paper that has heretofore hedged about its commendation of Negro soldiers, by the reservation that they must be commanded by white officers. As the late Rev. John Jasper used to say, "The sun do move." COMMUNITY SERVICE Practical religion is growing to be the policy pursued in many of the churches nowadays. Not only is the church concerned with teaching its followers how to die, but it is displaying a lively interest in teaching them how to live. An evidence of the growing inclination to deal with the practical side of existence is furnished in a card recently issued by St. Mark's M. E. Church, one of the largest churches of the race in this city, in canvassing its congregation for community service work. Among the questions which the volunteer for such service is requested to answer are the following: 3. Would you attend an organized Men's Bible Class? If we secure a live and competent teacher? 4. Do you want your community one of the best in the city if so what are you doing, or would suggest to us to make it thus? 5. Do you give your patronage, as far as you are able, to the business people of your own race? If not, why not? 6. We need a large number of both men and women for Community Center Leaders, will you be one? What kind of church work do you prefer? Have you led a soul to Christ? The field for active and constructive upbuilding of the race along the lines opened by the question-numbered four and five is extensive. No existing organization could do this work so thoroughly as the church could do it. It is therefore to be hoped that this feature of community service work will receive intensive cultivation. Let the other churches include such lines of endeavor in their programs and the results cannot fail to be of value. A CREDITABLE FAILURE. The petition for the dissolution of the People's Savings Bank of Philadelphia, recently presented to the Common Pleas Court No 1, presented some unusual features for a case of this nature. The principal one was the statement that the depositors have received 100 per cent on the dollar and that virtually no one will lose any money but the president, the Hon. George H. White, former member of Congress from North Carolina. It is true that the word "saloon" does not occur in the civil rights law, but the word "inn" and the word "tavern" are there. Technically, an inn is a place where lodging food and drink are furnished. Strictly construed, a tavern may be the same, however, in the modern sense of the word a tavern is principally a drinking place. But if a dancing pavilion can be brought within the meaning of the law under a place of "comfort, resort, amusement, recreation, etc." why not a saloon? There is no doubt that to many men their favorite corner in their favorite saloon with cool beer on a warm evening and a gorgent friend or cow is more of a place of comfort, resort, amusement, or recreation than any dance pavilion could possibly be. We are discussing not the morals of the question, but the facts. However, we must revise the foregoing statement. The Court did not decide that a dance pavilion was within the law because it was a place of comfort, etc., but because in the case under consideration the pavilion was part of a common carrier system. This, as we said, apparently still leaves open the question as to whether a dance pavilion not part of a common carrier system comes within the civil rights law. It is highly creditable to Mr. White, who was the controlling factor of the institute that he should have accepted the full responsibility for the failure to place the bank on a firm footing and footed the loss involved to be $10,000. The failure of depositors to keep their money in the bank long enough for the invested was given as the reason for the dissolution. The rigourments of the savings fund charter were claimed to be unsuitable to the needs of the people interested. The officers worked without consultation, it was stated and the client White spent his own money in making the experiment. While the result of the experiment was classed as failure, it was not without its benefits as working a decided advance in The Court of Appeals is the highest court in the state. There is nothing above it but the Legislature. There are a bill should be financial probity and fair dealing within the race Bank failures have occurred before among the institutions started under N-group auspices, but it has generally been the small deposit who is the losses. Egm the days of the Freelman's Bans it Washington which is not a small N-group institution, though not the N-group institution. though not the N-group institution, though not the trustees, the small investor and frugal saver of the race has furnished the means to launch many essays in high and w finance and paid dearly for the privilege. It is that for the more granting to me the�tature made by the most long. It short. It establish a new for the similar others of the rates your course there are of the same in the risk with the promioc. It is the bank should not come within the risk. We agree that our opinions go on when the Legislature makes it. We believe that such a bill has already been introduced at Albany. THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY. According to all recent signs over a new leaf and is going to Mr. Hayes to the chairmanship to be proof that the Old Guard things regardless of the progress. Mr. Hayes has already begun the indications are that he will say the dissatisfied elements back in laid out and some of them annoy plete, but one very important fact—and that is the colored vote. In 1912 the Republican party colored voter was not consider party lost, but the leaders attract split, and regretted in very little, officially came back, and the Re-simple operation in arithmetic made it: they figured out that W that the regular Republican vote elect Hughes. So again the color importance, but the party lost. In the past two years the col the states where the vote will vote that will be vital in any ch already right-about faced on se though there are no signs of in Negro question. At any rate, it absolutely need Northern Negro not inconceivable that they will would not do it to get into power their shoulders, they may do it to. However that may be the conditions which have prevailed. WILL I Dr James B "Bashford, the China, issued a statement the on the present war would be followed one side and the yellow and black ment he said: Those of us who have studied so ail to declare that such a thought such a war as the present colored races outnumbering the w America one of the great uncu with a mixed white and colored great unoccupied reason of the w which will number three or four present century—who doubts that every moment by military power on the great comments and small portion of the world there with which or present struggle w Our answer to Dr. Bashford with a grain of wisdom in his happen, if the white race tries to the yellow and black people of talks like a sane and thoughtful the problem: "The only solution of the protian missions to win the yellow are We should like to ask Dr. B reference to the Christianity of the Christianity he has in mind believe it will work since it has not been practicing it for a thousand. But perhaps Dr. Bashford has Christianity from that practiced by is thinking of a sort of special mianity that will make the yellow gain a home in heaven if they will this world. Well that would we can't be put over, the yellow and swallow that kind of religious do. We offer Dr. Bashford a sun time and energy in extending re-black races. If he really wants to predicts, let him devise means of white race. The only solution is the mul Europe and the United States to ing to all recent signs, the Republican party itself and is going to make a new start. The chairmanship of the National Committee that the Old Guard has given up the idea less of the progressive element. This has already begun his efforts as a half is that he will satisfy the Old Guard and old elements back into the fold. Many people of them announced for making the very important factor has been left out of it is the colored voter. The Republican party had reached the point it was not considered important, hardly but the leaders attributed the loss to the netted in very little, if at all. In 1916 the back, and the Republican leaders perfection in arithmetic: they added 2 and 1 figured out that Wilson was a minority of the Republican vote plus the Progressive.

At any rate, if the Democrats real and Northern Negro votes, to keep them in trouble that they will make overtures for the it to get into power, but, especially with, they may do it to stay in power. That may be the Republicans need to which have prevailed in the party for the p According to all recent signs, the Republican party has turned over a new leaf and is going to make a new start. The election of Mr. Hayes to the chairmanship of the National Committee appears to be proof that the Old Guard has given up the idea of running things regardless of the progressive element. Mr. Hayes has already begun his efforts as a harmonizer, and the indications are that he will satisfy the Old Guard and bring all of the dissatisfied elements back into the fold. Many plans have been laid out and some of them announced for making the reunion complete, but one very important factor has been left out of consideration—and that is the colored voter. In 1912 the Republican party had reached the point where the colored voter was not considered important, hardly wanted; the party lost, but the leaders attributed the loss to the Progressive split, and regretted it very little, if at all. In 1916 the Progressives officially came back, and the Republican leaders performed a very simple operation in arithmetic: they added 2 and 1 together and made 3: they figured out that Wilson was a minority president, and that the regular Republican vote plus the Progressive vote would elect Hughes. So again the colored voter was counted of little importance, but the party lost. In the past two years the colored vote has greatly increased in the states where the vote will count and be counted. It is now a vote that will be vital in any close election. President Wilson has already right-about faced on several important questions, and although there are no signs of it, he may right-about face on the Negro question. At any rate, if the Democrats realize that they absolutely need Northern Negro votes, to keep them in power, it is not inconceivable that they will make overtures for that vote. They would not do it to get into power, but, especially with the war on their shoulders, they may do it to stay in power. However that may be, the Republicans need to remedy the conditions which have prevailed in the party for the past ten years.

Dr. Bashford has in mind a little difference that practiced by Europe and America a sort of special missionary brand: a broil will make the yellow and black races the heaven if they will only let the white gas well that would work it could be put over the yellow and black races are now kind of religious dope. Dr. Bashford a suggestion. Let him study in extending religious teaching to the if he really wants to avert the great com him devise means of giving religious tea solution is the multiplication of Christianity the United States to win the white race to Dr James B. Bashford, the Methodist Episcopal Bishop of China, issued a statement the other day in which he predicted that the present war would be followed by a conflict of the white race on one side and the yellow and black races on the other. In his statement he said: Those of us who have studied conditions over the world see it is not aided to declare that such a race war is impossible. Civilization thought such a war as the present was out of the question. With the colored races outnumbering the white races of the earth, with South America one of the great unoccupied regions of the world, filling up with a mixed white and colored population with Malaysia, the other great unoccupied region of the world, filling up with the Oriental races, which will number three or four hundred million before the close or the present century—who doubtless fear the white races continue to dominate every continent by military power and exclude the yellow races from it. The great continents and calling their countless millions to a small portion of the world there will arise a race war in comparison with which our present struggle will prove a skirmish? Our answer to Dr. Bashford's question would be that nobody with a grain of wisdom in his head can doubt that all he says will happen, if the white race tries to keep up the game of dominating the yellow and black people of the world. So far, Dr Bashford talks like a sane and thoughtful man, but listen to his solution of the problem. "The only solution of the problem is the multiplication of Christian missions to win the yellow and black races to Christianity." We should like to ask Dr. Bashford what Christianity he has reference to: the Christianity of Europe and America. If that is the Christianity he has in mind, we say to him frankly we don't believe it will work since it has not worked with the people who have been practicing it for a thousand years or more. But perhaps Dr. Bashford has in mind a little different brand of Christianity from that practiced by Europe and America; perhaps he is thinking of a sort of special missionary brand: a brand of Christianity that will make the yellow and black races think they will gain a home in heaven if they will only let the white race take all of this world. Well that would work it could be put over, but it can't be put over the yellow and black races are now too wise to swallow that kind of religious dope. We offer Dr. Bashford a suggestion. Let him not use up his time and energy in extending religious teaching to the yellow and black races. If he really wants to avert the great conflict which he predicts, let him devise means of giving religious teaching to the white race. The only solution is the multiplication of Christian missions in Europe and the United States to win the white race to Christianity. FROM FISK UNIVERSITY.

FROM ALABAMA. --- THE LAW AND COMMON SENSE. The Court of Appeals, the court of last resort in the State, has recently handed down two decisions which to the lay mind seem to sustain both sides of the same question. The first decision was on the case of a colored man who was refused in a liquor saloon. In that case the Court sustained the ruling of the lower courts which denied the plaintiff any redress or damages. The second decision was on the case of a colored man who with three respectable colored women was refused the privilege of the dancing pavilion at a recreation park operated by the Auburn & Syracuse Electric Railroad Company. In this case the Court affirmed a judgment obtained by the plaintiff in the Supreme Court of Cayuga County. That is, in two cases of discrimination on account of race and color brought under the civil rights bill, the Court of Appeals ruled in the one that Negroes may be refused in saloons, and within a few days ruled in the other that Negroes may dance in public pavilions. The course of legal reasoning by which these two contradictory decisions—contradictory at least to the average mind—were arrived at is a curious study in law and its interpretation. The Court in rendering its decision quoted section 40 of the civil rights law, which provides that no person on account of "race, creed or color" shall be denied the advantages or privileges of any "place of public accommodation, resort, or amusement," including any inn, tavern, or hotel, or any place maintained for the accommodation of those seeking rest, health or recreation. Then by a process of legal hair splitting it was deduced that a dancing pavilion was maintained by a transit corporation within the meaning of the law, and that a liquor saloon was not within the meaning of the law. The Court stated that the Legislature clearly had in mind in enacting this statute that it should apply only to the places it named and to such others, if any, devoted to the general advantage, comfort or benefit essential or directly auxiliary to the prosperity, health, development or happiness of the citizens. On this interpretation, it ruled that since saloons are not named in the statute, and cannot be included under such other places as are devoted to the general advantage, comfort, benefit, prosperity, health, development or happiness of the citizens, they therefore did not come within the letter and spirit of the statute as places of public accommodation. It was held that a liquor saloon corresponds closely with an ordinary store or shop; that it is a place in which the proprietor may sell his goods or refuse to sell them as he sees fit. On the other hand, it was held that a dancing pavilion operated by a transit corporation was a place of public accommodation, resort, or amusement. The Court in rendering its decision in this case said: "The defendant, the electric railroad company, in its business as a public service corporation comes within the express language of the statute so far as it maintains a public conveyance on land and water. The park in question was maintained as a public place. It was not maintained as an independent business, but as an auxiliary to the defendant's passenger business and in connection therewith. It and the amusement afforded therein are maintained for the health, comfort, benefit, etc. of the defendant's passengers." Just how this decision will affect dance pavilions that are not operated by transit corporations, for example, those at Coney Island, we should like to know. Now, all that the Court of Appeals has said may be good law, according to the American system of interpreting laws, but it is not good common sense. It is absurd to suppose that the Legislature in enacting the civil rights law had any intention of making it obligatory upon the proprietor of a room to furnish a colored man with a room or upon the proprietor of a restaurant to serve him with a plate of ham and eggs, and at the same time leave the keeper of a saloon free to refuse him a glass of beer. It is plain to any one, except perhaps to one too well versed in the law, that what the Legislature intended in the enactment of the civil rights law was the abolition of all discrimination on account of race, creed or color in all places where persons who are clean and orderly are accommodated if they have the price—the price being the main requisite. Would anybody, except one too well versed in the law, be so asume as to believe that the Legislature intended to compel the Waldorf-Astoria to furnish a bridal surety to a colored man if he was clean, orderly and had the price, and at the same time give Mike Hennessey over on Sixth avenue the right to refuse him a drink? Thus, the Republican party has turned to make a new start. The election of the National Committee appears to has given up the idea of running a passive element. In his efforts as a harmonizer, and satisfy the Old Guard and bring all to the fold. Many plans have been introduced for making the reunion contractor has been left out of considera- tter.

In 1916 the Progressive Republican leaders performed a very they added 2 and 1 together and Wilson was a minority president, and the plus the Progressive vote would colored vote has greatly increased in count and be counted. It is now to lose election. President Wilson has several important questions, and all he may right-about face on the if the Democrats realize that they votes, to keep them in power, it is make overtures for that vote. They never, but, especially with the war on to stay in power. Republicans need to remedy the in the party for the past ten years. other day in which he predicted that led by a conflict of the white race on risk races on the other.

Braithwaite, a recognized authority in this department of literary composition. Of course, the critic is spending nearly in the above expression, but he employs it by saying that Mr. Johnson is the most important poet in the race. To all of this the reader must subscribe, and a more important will convey the impression that the poems are marked by a sense and the unity of sentiment, a strong grip on the elevation of spirit, and in the ephemeral verse of the period. The higher ideals and aspirations of the are voiced with freedom and authority. But let us quote from the introduction by Brander Matthews, a writer of Mr. Johnson's works. "He gathers together a group of poets, delicate in workmanship, imbricate with sentiment, and phrased in a pure unexceptional English. There has been another group of dialect speakers in the soil, pungent in flavor, swinging rhythm and adroit in verse. But when he shows himself a pioneer in the half-lzen larger and broader seeming a loftier strain, in which he has been nobly successful in expressing amply higher aspirations of his people he is in uttering this in the form for sympathy, for understanding, and above all, for praise that the poets is most original and most powerful in the superb and soaring stanzas. Fifty Years (published exactly half a century after the signing of the Immaculate Proclamation) he has given us one of the noblest commemorative poems he written by any American—a poem normous in its diction, vigorous in its workmanship, elevated in its imagination and sincere in its emotion. In a speaks the voice of a race, and the race fortunate in its spokesman. In its fine theme has been finely treated in it we are made to see something of the soul of the people who are our fellow citizens now and forever—even if we do not always so regard them, in it we are glad to acclaim a poem which as living poet might be proud to call be own." A striking example of Mr. Ives's verse is furnished in the following apostrophe, entitled "To America" How would you have us, as we are? Or striking neath the boat we bear Our eyes meet forward in a star? Or gazing empty at despair? Rising or falling? Men or women? With dragging pace or toothed feet?

A CORRECTION Through Mr. H. NEW JERSEY FEDERATION. In July, 1915, at Trenton, N. J., a faculty of the women's clubs of the State organized the New Jersey Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Any club engagement in useful effort is eligible to meet in Trenton, and the meeting in Englewood, July 1916, found the membership doubled. Many persons of national prominence attended and addressed the body, Mrs. Mary Tallert, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, was an inspiring visitor. The president and substantial response to Mr. Ray E. Nash's appeal for the lynching fund of the National Association for the Management of Colored People made a splendid record for the federation. In July, 1917, the federation, with its memorial book increased almost a hundred, met Plainfield. Many persons were persons who loom large in racial wars and the women, encouraged by the interest manifested in their unrestrained set for themselves large tasks, including scholarships, charities and even have been generously made for the clubs. Thursday, February 28, the executive hardship the federation gathered in the N.M. Welfare Building, Newark, to raise suggestions of how the colored selectors at Camp Dix might be aided. Mr. Lockin, who represents recreational activities at Camp Dix, and whose presence was the result of a visit of civility to a committee from the federation, Mr. Gregory of Newark, Mr. delaware of Bordentown, were assisted by Secretary Davidson of M.C.A. Hut No. 7, The hearers were told of the efforts made in behalf of the men and how army life was superior to that enjoyed by the civilian. Men of both races face alike, all are soldiers of the National Army, the speakers declared. Suggestions of what might be done was made and co-operation promised. Mrs. Bassett and Mrs. Fields, representatives of the Colonial Dames of Newark, were present and assured the board of officers of the soldiers and promised to aid the federation in the effort to assist them, Mr. Reed, representing the War-Saving Stamps, also addressed the meet- More than fifteen cities were represented at the meeting and from the embassy shown much effective work will be done when the women decide upon which activity they will sponsor. Keith Florence of Jersey will be president of the federation since its organization. Mrs. Montez of Atlantic City is secretary Mrs. Ella Rice, New Brunswick, teacher, and Mrs. M. B. Gregory of Newark is chairman of the executive board. Well-known women head the various departments of the federation. The next meeting of the board will be in Orange. I sent to Mrs. Howard Gould a letter of thanks for her utterances regarding the Negro at the Ransom meeting in Harlem last week. FOOD CONSERVATION "There must be more families and patrons of the public eating places who will do more saving and substituting for the next six days, so that there will be plenty of food to ship to our soldiers and associates in the war we are told to eat. "Food Administration" Remember that our Albes never produce food for their own consumption before the war and now that nearly all the men are soldiers you can see how necessary it is for us to make up the difference. Tap the sugar maple, and make victorious sugar! Boys and girls, you have been asked to eat less candy, to drink more water, to drink more milk with your cereal. Your mothers are making war cake" and using corn syrup, honey and maple sugar, instead of war. We all believe that food will win and waste of food may cause defeat. Wet waste a good thing if we eat food away and when we don't use it and when we eat it if we don't need it and when we use the sap stored in the maple trees? See who can make the most sugar or the greatest quantity of syrup. To make a little meat go a long way try making stems and meat pies. Do you know how good they are? They may be so varied that you can have a different one every day in the week, except Tuesday—and all of them deliver a small piece of meat to give flavor to a hearty dish. I think that you must eat a lot of meat to be strong. Meat is good to help build up the body, but so are many other foods. The little meat with the cereals and cereals will give your body what it needs. Steamed's pie is the name of a meat pie—a mashed-potato crust browned in butter.

When bread is made with a fifth or more of some wheat substitute it may be called victory bread. A meal that is wheatless is a victory meal. A meal in which there is little or no beef, pork lamb or mutton is a victory meal. An American victory meal is a meal which is in accordance with the request of the United States Food Administration relative to wheat, meat, fats and sugar. Send your name and address to your State Agricultural Experiment Station or to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and ask for any information on agriculture or gardening. They will answer you. Try cornbread and see how good it can be. 'Theer are many' kinds. You will wonder why you did not use it every before the war. It is nourishing, too. A cup of wheat meal is fuel to your body than a cup of wheat flour. Do you use corn meal muff for a breakfast food? It is both cheap and good. Cooked in skim milk instead of water it is extra fine and the food value of the dish is nearly doubled. Give your children their chance. They ought to have it and you want to give it to them. They must have the right food. Help your child to grow big and strong. Think how fast the child grows. The new muscles and bones and all the other parts of the body are made from the food which—the child cakes. Give him clean, wholesome, simply cooked food—plenty of milk, cereal, vegetables, fruit and egg for some meat occasionally. Wrong food—too little, too much or being kind to the child's chance of being the strong, healthy boy or girl you want. Reniember, the Food Administration never has and never will sanction any food regulation that can injure the health. We must have a strong and sturdy race after this war to carry on the difficult tasks that America will face. AUBURN N Y Auburn, N.

Ignoring the Lyrical Influential newspapers and prominent music publishers have been won over on the side of the lyricist, who is making a fight for just recognition on the programs along with the writer of music Charles D. Isaacson, who conducts the music page of the New York Evening Globe writing under the caption, "Recognizing the Lyricist in Music," in discussing the subject in the columns of his publication on February 24 said Letter A Walton writer of Negro lyrics which have been put to music by several composers raises a most poignant to the New York Age. He wonders why programmers ignore the writer of the works of the late Harvey Hays. He says "Any public work that he writes must be made public." melodies must be made public unless they are original most are made public for a way to make public being public fisher who must be made public ricist the public him This is particularly true the matter of public works the popular works music writers have type on a more equitable basis.

The other comment was included I quite agree with you that the writer of the lyrics should be mentioned with the composer on program etc. I have wondered many times why it was not done but in the rush of business had it go along as incident without incident. I assure you that anything I can do in this direction of helping to correct the error can be commended on. The interesting and illuminating article of my co-worker James W. Johnson appearing in last week's issue of THE AGE, has done much to strengthen the claim of the Lyric-writer for recognition.

CLUB, Inc. 3rd STREET MONDAY, MARCH 11 ANNIVERSARY CASTRE COLORED PLAYERS ORATION Eust. Lery, Gen. Kgr. CAMP LEE. VIRGINIA. I am an American citizen. My opinion is, that I am patriotic. And what is more than my own opinion, is the opinion of a considerable number of other people, white and colored; that I am patriotic. Of one thing I am sure: that I wish the best things for my own name and, and wish to see it foremost among the nations of the earth. In that spirit I make the following observations: for he who reads may be able to help. A blind confidence, falsely held, will do no good. "The truth shall make you free." I have no quarrel with the name of Camp Lee, for Robert E. Lee, whose memory it honors, was one of the best men that ever espoused a bad cause. And I care little for sectional or color prejudices; the right sort of white man can lead the colored men, as well as the right sort of colored man, and the right sort of white man from North Carolina is better than the wrong sort of white man from Massachusetts. I know that it requires SOME extra care to get the right sort of white man from North Carolina. I met several of the right sort of white officers at Camp Lee. Two of them were on the platform, as a thousand Negro solos before we clothed in clean clothing like a fine collection from some vanished civilians. The white man at the left was from the North. I was a slave from the South. I was a slave from the South. These two men are equally to lead and both of them Capped Commissioned Officers place Camp Lee in one of the worst United States, so far as colored are concerned There are no colored commission- ers at Camp Lee. research at Camp Lee. 3. None of the colored men there, although some are college boys, have been admitted to the training school for officers. 4. The Y. M. C. A. service and accommodations for the colored troops is very good, but very inadequate. At Petersburg was fought one of the hardest battles of the Civil War. Grant exploded a mine there and created a terrible volcano, whose crater is still to be seen. He was trying to destroy two forts, known till this day as Fort Hell and Fort Damnation. But although Petersburg may have been completely erupted, it was never converted. It did not want colored soldiers in this cannonment at all. But the admirable head of the war department said they must either have colored soldiers or no cannonment. And the way in which it loves its colored soldiers is shown by the fact that he black man in khaki who met me tried for half an hour to get some jitney or taxi driver to take us out to the camp—with the result that we had finally to walk to the electric line. Not being able to keep out Negro soldiers, Petersburg next demanded that there should be no colored officers of any rank. Of course, the United States of America refused to sign any treaty with Petersburg. But today there is at any rate no Negro commissioned officers at Camp Lee. Personal Interests Neglected And this brings us to the second and perhaps the greatest misfortune to the colored men. Not because the colored officer has pigment in his skin, but because Southern conditions enable him to enter more fully into the lives of his men, is he the better officer for colored soldiers—especially from the rank of captain downward. This is especially true in a community like Petersburg. In Massachusetts or Ohio it would make much less difference whether such officer were white or black. But if any proof were needed that in general the best officer for colored troops is the colored officer, Camp Lee supplies that proof. The opportunities for an officer to build up the soldierly qualities of his men are not confined to shouting commands at them on the drill ground and ordering them to the guardhouse. Consider, for example, the intellectual development, the morals and the personal interests of the men. An interested officer can see that his men attend the lectures and other instruction offered by the various auxiliary agencies.

He can also give dignity and stimulus to their social events, athletiR games, and amusements. And more than anybody else on earth he has the chance to affect their personal interests. Take this for example: the government allows each man to take out on his life the maximum insurance of $10,000. In one-white company at Camp Lee every man has taken out this maximum; and in another white company every man except one has taken out the $10,000, and this one man has at least $5,000. This is not true in any of the colored companies. Not a single colored soldier in the whole seven thousand of them has taken out $10,000. And yet the economic risk of the colored man is greater. Here is where an interested colored captain would serve. When the Y. M. C. A. brought an insurance expert from somewhere to instruct them, he would order his men to hear. Barred From Officers' Schools. Now, thirdly. Even at Camp Meade, Md., there are a few colored boys in the officers' school. But at Camp Lee the Negro boys are only servants and waiters in the school. With characteristic Southern sarcasm somebody picked the two best drilled companies of colored boys and sent them over as "bell-hops" at the officers' school. This takes these two companies about five miles from the rest of the colored soldiers, and isolates them. You will understand their misfortune even better when I speak of the Y M C. A. work. I am interested in these boys, of course. But I am also interested in the welfare of the country, and I know that these boys will burden the day. have also taken the initiative to be the first service station in simply the first university section of the engineers corps—the men who do the rough work for the engineers. The enlisted man has the right to volunteer for this service, but before they knew that they had the right to choose, many colored draitees were ordered into service battalion—and, of course, they obey orders. When ex-President Tait visited Camp Lee he voiced the best sentiment of the times when he said that the black man is the equal of the white man in this war, and that if he does his duty and serves his country he should have equal rights and privileges of citizenship after the war. Our government has administrators to conserve our coal our food and other materials. I think we should also have an officer empowered to dictate measures to conserve our resources of enthusiasm, of wood will of loyalty and of patriotism. Inadequacy of Y. M. C. A. And now as to the Y. M. C. A. Those big-minded patrons who are contributing time and money to this work should take note, for they more than any others can have influence in this matter. It is said that there are less than fifty thousand soldiers at Camp Lee and that 7,000 of these are colored. But in addition to many other institutions maintained for white men by the Knights of Columbus and others, they have eleven out of the twelve buildings of the Y. M. C. A. The full significance of this will not be gotten unless you hold in mind the fact that a Negro soldier at Camp Lee can get absolutely no sort of service from the Y. M. C. A. buildings, for the whites—not even a postage stamp or a drink of water. Those two companies of colored boys who are serving as waiters at the school for officers, though they are five miles from the building for colored men, cannot get from the Y. M. C. A. nearest a piece of paper on which to write to their mothers. I advised the staff at the colored building to endeavor to get permission to send daily a messenger to them with supplies. A soldier's duties are so exacting that he can seldom go five miles from his post. On the other hand, three or four hundred white soldiers whose barracks happen to be a little near the colored Y. M. C. A. quarters than to any white quarters, are willingly accorded every service and courtesy of the colored building. And we hope the colored staff will eternally stick to that principle. Moreover, the Y. M. C. A. is the place for amusements and much instruction: for games, athletics, social gatherings, lectures, moving pictures and other pictures illustrative of military instruction. On George Washington's birthday the colored men endeavored to have their indoor athletics in this one, crowded building. They packed the space like sardines in a tin, leaving a small rectangle in the middle for boxing, potato races, etc. Some of the boys climbed the columns and sat perched like tree-dwellers in the roof-supports. They crowded the platform, jammed the doors, and peeped through the windows. It was uncomfortable and impossible for many of them to see, so that the physical director could not get sufficient attention and order to carry out the program. The next day I visited Camp Stuart, at Newport News, where there are Negro commissioned officers from captains down, including Captain Spencer of Maryland, and Captain Pryor of Massachusetts. But at Camp Hill near-by, where the colored men are in service battalion, as stevedores, with no colored officers, I heard that conditions are more embarrassing than at Camp Lee. A white officer in charge of Negro troops, who neglects his opportunity to give them the best he has, perhaps does not realize that he is doing his intermort to demonstrate for all times to come that the best officer for Negro soldiers is the Negro officer. From what I saw I have no doubt that the OVER THERE At 421 to 427 West 53rd Street A few 4 room apartments, boilers and ranges and separate toilets to each family. black soldiers that are being officered by black men, will prove themselves superior.

The response of over forty, between the ages of twenty and forty years, to the offer made by, the students of the University of Virginia; through the Y. M. C. A.

Fayer, manager of the Herald Square Hotel, 34th street and Broadway, in reference to the change that was made March 1, he stated briefly that it was a matter of experiment in mapping out conditions in that line, to improve or be a failure, that was up to him to find out and that such cases are happening every day, both with the white boys as well as colored. So far as to the service of the colored bell hops he found no fault. James Plummer, chief of the bellboys at the Hotel Caradon, Sea Breeze, Fla. died February 24.

This apples to the whole South, but the Banner wishes now to speak for its own state and the people whose immediate interest it serves, those among whom it moves, live, and has its being, and where it may hope that its voice will be heard. This practice of burning Negro criminals at the stake and subjecting them to torture is rank savagery. It is of no avail to try to excuse or modify it, or call it by any, milder name. No really civilized people ever indulged a practice of that kind. The Banner is willing to admit the surprising fact that such outbreaks have occurred in communities where refined and cultivated people live, and where all the outward exhibitions of a Christian civilization are found, but such acts in themselves are unmixed savagery and mark a most painful reversion to primitive conditions, to the wild men who know no law, in whom human instincts had not developed and who, lacking the power to administer justice, resorted to merciless cruelty in dealing with those who gave offense. The Banner hopes to see Tennessee grow beyond the possibility of such revolting deeds, and has long hoped for it, but it is a painful and discouraging fact that they grow more frequent, more violent and are characterized by more sickening exhibitions of barbarity. The lynching began with hanging Negroes for rape. It was extended to hanging them for all manner of crimes. Then Negroes were burned for rape and now they are burned for rape for other offenses. Lynchings are placing the South in the ranks of the backwood, half-civilized people of the earth, and they must be suppressed. It doesn't put any better phase on such evil happenings to argue that they have occurred elsewhere. They are wholly evil and without excuse in one place as much as in another, and our own faults need correcting for our own sake, no matter what those of other people in other regions may need. And it is undeniably true that they occur in about the ratio of ten to one in the South. It avails nothing to rave at the critics of the outside world who condemn us when we have given ample cause for all they say. To torture and burn to death a criminal is not civilization, it is not Christian, and there is no defense for such practice. There is a large and enlightened element of Tennessee citizenship to whom the sinister aspect of such happenings is wholly apparent, and whose minds are not beogged and whose morals are not blunted by the manner of excuse made in their behalf. This element should vigorously assert itself to oppose such The Plan is simple and you will not miss the money.

He can best rule by absolute justice and by commanding universal obedience to law.

Tennessee should not tolerate them, they should be nowhere tolerated, but the Banner's interest is especially in Tennessee, and it strongly urges that the state should rise to better conditions. The reputation of Tennessee should not be made to suffer by such exhibitions of savagery and a sentiment must be created that will make them impossible. Please send me one dozen boxes Black and White Ointments. The box I have used I find to be the best I have ever used for bleaching the skin. It is second to none. Martin A. Robinson, Asbury Park, N. J. It seems impossible for me to keep enough of your Black and White Ointment for me to supply my customers. Please send me by parcel post two dozen. Please rush goods.
