WAR RISK INSU BEEN EXTENDI Important to Dependents of Colored Soldiers and Sailors ALLOTMENT REQUIRED Law Says First Thing Soldier Must Do Is Support CAN INSURE UP TO $10,000 Emmett J. Scott Issues Statement Which Is of Vital Interest to the Wives and Children of Soldiers —Government War Risk Policy Insures Against Death and Permanent Disability. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Emmett J. Scott, who as special assistant to the Secretary of War, is looking after the interests of our colored people generally present war, has issued a real man message of vital importance the families and dependents of forced-soldiers and sailors: "In addition to thousands of colored soldiers," said Mr. Scott, who are enlisted in the Regular Army and National Guard, thousands of other colored men have been drained under the Secretary Service Law and have been taken away from their families for the purpose of serving their country in this period of national emergency and need. As a measure of justice to the men who have been called to give their lives, if he is in the service of their country, the congress of the United States has enacted the War Insurance Law (someone called the Soldiers' and Sailors' Insurance Act) which provides for the care and support of the wife and children of the enlisted or drafted man during his service in the army or navy, and compels him to contribute up to at least one-half of his pay for their support. "The law says the first thing that a soldier must do is to contribute in fair measure to the support of his wife and children. When he gets into a camp or campment he must answer truthfully whether he has a wife, children, or divorced wife who is entitled to alimony under a decree of court, and if he has three the government will make what is called a 'compulsory alimony' or what perhaps might better be called a deduction from his pay and this monthly deduction will be made by the government whether he will it or not. A soldier must allot to his wife and child at least $15 a month. That mandatory. This compulsory allotment may be applied only to the wif- and children and to the divorced wife. If the soldier chooses, he may make a soldier allotment for the support of his wife, brother, sister or other dependent. But he may be con- dued to give more than $15 toward his family's support. That depends on the size of his dependents and the widest pos- sible payoff. The insurance offered by the United States Government mea- sure more than its insurance to the soldier sailor. It insures against death and total permanent disability. It is pro- vided by the government for the pro- spective soldier and his family, in ad- dition to the soldier's monthly allotment and in addition to the government's compensation for the soldier's death or disability. Every soldier and sailor in the army or navy of the United States should carry a policy of government insur- upment to the limit of $10,000, for the low cost of such a policy will scarcely be missed from his monthly wages. This insurance applies to injuries or death while in the service or after age and she shall have left it. appreciate to the cost of the extra dangers of war makes the cost of life insurance in private insurance companies prohibitive. It was therefore, a plain duty and obligation of the government to assume the risk of incurring hundreds of thousands of our soldiers who are making the surge sacrifice. Under this law, every soldier and sailor and nurse now in the service, commissioned, enlisted, or drafted of any age, has the right, be now and April 12, 1918, to The New York Age UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD Censored and passed by the Committee on Public Information. (Courtesy The N. Y. World.) out life insurance and total disability insurance up to $10,000 at very low cost, with the government, and without medical examination. Those hereafter enlisted or drafted can take out War Risk insurance within 120 days after enlistment, etc. "The cost ranges from 65 cents monthly, at the age of 21, to only $1.20 monthly, at the age of 65; for each $1,000 worth of insurance or only $60 per month for a $10,000 policy at the age of 21 years. This is a small charge on a man's pay—small in proportion to the benefits it may bring. The premiums will be deducted from his pay, if he desires, thus eliminating trouble on his part." URBAN LEAGUE ORGANIZES IN EAST ST. LOUIS, ILLINOIS On Friday of this week, Roger N. Baldwin, formerly of St Louis, and a member of the Executive Board of the National Urban League, and Eugene Kinclele Jones will leave New York for St Louis where, during the week of March 17, they will be at work on plans to organize that community for the industrial and social welfare of the Negroes there. The program is to have the present St. Louis Committee for Social Service among Colored People augmented by representative whites and Negroes from both St Louis and East St Louis. Funds for conducting the work for six months are already in hand. $1,000 of this amount is being contributed by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. An Executive Secretary will be appointed at once. The plan during the year is to have as far as possible, playgrounds accessible to colored children, properly conducted and clubs in connection to churches and school houses, welfare features in connection with the plans of East St. Louis that employ large numbers of Negroes better and more adequate houses for Negro workmen in the plants, and for colored people generally, the development of more public interest in the reduction of death rate among colored people and in the safeguarding of health.

PROBE CHARGE OF DRAFTEE Welfare League Investigating Story of Soldier Above Draft Age SOUTHERN OFFICIALS ACCUSED Alabama Negro Says He Was Compelled to Enlist, Leave Wife and Children, Although Nearly Forty Years Old-Protestations that He Was Too Old Failed to Move Registrar. Among the cases being investigated by the Welfare League of the 36th Infantry, in which Southern registrars are accused of having forcefully compelled colored men above the draft age to enlist in the New National Army, is that of a private said to be nearly 40 years old, who has a wife and several children. The story told by the enlisted men is that he was working on his little farm in Alabama when the sheriff ordered him to stop work and come with him. The sheriff informed the startled colored farmer that he was being drafted. Upon protesting that he was above the age limit the sheriff is alleged to have remarked that the question of age did not make any difference. The Negro was hunged away and not permitted to see his wife and children according to his story, and he has not set eyes on them since the morning he left home. Another draite sent from Alabama is said to be 12 years old, and he says he was forced to tell the army although protesting that he was in his Members of the Welfare League opers Being Trained and passed by the Committee on Public who have taken up such cases with the authorities at Washington asser- that some Southern registrars are in order to get the required quota for then division took colored men about the age preference to dress when a men within the age limit.

NO WOUNDED MEMBERS OF 15TH AT BASE HOSPITAL AS REPORTED; 7 TROOPERS UNDER TREATMENT BELLEVUE TO ADMIT COLORED INTERNES In the future Negro internes will be admitted to Bellevue Hospital. This decision was reached and made public by the Board of Trustees of the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals after a conference in which well-known white, and colored citizens participated. Samuel Sachs stated that the colored people of New York City should be told that any Negro applying, for appointment as intern at these hospitals would be judged solely on ability and merit, and that investigation of any claims to the contrary would be welcomed. He further expressed a desire that he be personally informed in advance concerning the number of Negroes qualified or qualifying for such examination, and especially when any one of them contemplates being examined. Request was also made by the Bellevue authorities that a list of Negroes now studying in the New York medical colleges be secured and referred to them, that this might be at any moment conversant with conditions. The attitude expressed-was to the effect that ability and merit are the sole qualifications for the candidates, and that qualified young Negro doctors may look forward to a hopeful future with respect to becoming members of the interne staff of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals. The committee in conference comprised I. Hollingworth Wood, president of the National League on Urban Waldron, Anonymous James Weldon Johnson, and others in the National League.

This is an increase of 28 over the highest point ever reached by the branch in its history. Much credit is due to the captains and workers for the splendid spirit manifested in the campaign. The work of the various teams was as follows: No. 1, W. Simmons, captain, 19; No. 2, Harry Maple, captain, 6; No. 3, Dr. J. Emanuel, captain, 6; No. 4, T. O.

THE churches and societies of Brooklyn will hold a grand patriotic bazaar at Jefferson Hall, Court Square and Fulton street, from March 18 to the 22nd with a view to raising money to help repair the cottages of the Howard Orphanage and Industrial School at Kings Park, L. T. The managers of the institution have been told by the authorities that just as soon as all necessary repairs are made and the proper management guaranteed the children will be returned to Kings Park. Those closely identified with the institution see in the effort to secure money for needed repairs a test of loyalty and race pride on the part of the colored people of Greater New York, and this assert that a lack of interest shown at this time would be nothing short of criminal negligence. BORDENTOWN GETS A LARGE APPROPRIATION (Special to The New York Acr.) Brownstews, X. J.—The Legislature of New Jersey for the fiscal year, July 1, 1918, to June 30, 1919, has appropriated for the Bordertown School $3,900 including earnings. Of this, $8,150 is for maintenance, $8,550 for miscellaneous items, such as free insurance premiums, additional equipment for the new trade building about to be completed and furnishings for the addition to the girls' dormitory, $12,600 was allowed for new buildings such as addition to the present girls' building and a new diary barn and 510. The total increase over last amount to $8,000. The increase in the maintenance fund was made in order to meet the increased cost of living. The extra provision for the girls' building allows an increase of twenty rooms, modern in construction and equipment. This addition will make it possible to accept new September trains of the girls now on the waiting list. ST. BENEDICT'S PARISH IN HAD A STUDY The members of the Church of St. Benedict the Moor have shown much interest in the drive of the New York Catholic War Fund for the Knight, Columbus Camp and Overseas Seas, and other war activities. "One star has gone out already from the constellation in our service flag," said Father O'Keefe "Howard Strawdick was the young chap, only a boy, but an ardent patriot, and how he did want to get to the front with his regiment! He reached France with the organization, but succumbed to pneumonia before getting a chance to go over the top." In the Fifteenth Regiment, which was raised here, there are 250 Catholics. The Negroes are all patriots and their record shows that they are good fighters. The girls in the parish are very patriotic about raising funds for the boys in camp and over the sea, to send them tobacco and socks and scarfs and knickknacks. When Father O'Keefe announced the big drive the girls were the first to volunteer their services. There were actors in the bunch that went away who used to put on sketches for the benefit of the church. Two of the most promising comedians were Eddie Jackson and Eugene Robinson. And there was a man who OF 15TH REPORTED; TREATMENT The report put into circulation by unreliable parties that many wounded members of the New York Fifteenth Infantry had been brought from France and were being cared for at Base Hospital, No. 1, The Bronx, is without foundation and has been branded as false by officials in a position to know. There are members of the crack New York regiment who are patients at the Base Hospital in The Bronx, but they were admitted before the regiment ever reached France. The latest report from the scene of conflict was that the Fifteenth Regiment is doing guard duty and undergoing intensive training preparatory to going "over the top." The colored fighters have not seen active service on the firing line. Following is a complete list, giving the names of members of the Fifteenth Regiment now at Base Hospital No. 1, The Bronx: JOHN H. THOMPSON, Co. B, admitted to hospital November 17. GEORGE J. MARTIN, Co. E, sent from Camp Merritt, N. J., admitted February 15. ABRAHAM SAMPSON, Co. F, sent from Hoboken, N. J., admitted January 17. ADOLPHUS WOODSON, Co. G, sent from Hoboken, N. J., admitted December 24. BRYON SCOTT, Co. I, sent from Hoboken, N. J., admitted January 17. JOHN F. MARTIN, Co. K, sent from Hoboken, N. J., admitted January 23. Hoboken, N. J. admitted February 12, since transferred to General Hospital No. 2. None of the above were wounded and none has been overseas with the possible exception of Private Galmore. All are being treated for some form of physical admitts. LABOR SHORTAGE DUE TO SPRING EXODUS (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) GOLDENBORO, N. C.—Every week since milder weather set in, at least two or three carloads of colored people leave Wayne County for Newport News or Petersburg, Va., for continue their journey farther north to secure employment paying from $3 a day upwards. On the "Jim Crow" cars it is not uncommon to hear the expression somewhat enthusiastically exclaimed, "To God's country," in answer to the question, "Where are you going?" Wayne county farmers are facing the greatest labor shortage in the history of the county," stated a prominent planner county, and while the government is urging the farmers to plant more foodstuffs, on the other hand, the government is drafting all of the farmers available help and making no provision for their relief. Speaking further this planter stated that farmers who are accompanied to cultivate two and three-horse crops are now facing the serious proposition of having to help in eight except their immature farmers and in addition to the agents are canvassing if a county hiring, with training offered, little help, with training offered, little existing cultivators, the farmer is at a loss to know what to take.

The affair closed with a big Red Cross meeting zt the courthouse, in which farmers from all over the county and business men of the city took part. President Walter S. aaeca of the State A. and M_ College at Normal discussed “The Negro. and the Red Cross,” saying in part: “The greatest calamity that will be- fall the nations as a result of this world war will not be the loss of libraries in Belgium, cathedrals in France, nor English ‘ships at sea. More calamitous than the wealth destroyed, art mutilated, and people ‘slain will be the develop- ment of irternational hatreds which will poison the souls of men and out- live all other destrvctive effects of the war. The Negro is aot a race to harbor hate and therefore st will escape this most terrible consequence of the war. Would-be patriotic orators in address- ing.Negroes usually make the mistake of arousing Negrocs (0 hate the Ger- mans. It would be far more effective if these speakers could promise the Ne- groes a larger measure of justice and fair play: and a wider opportunity to enjoy the blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness here at home under the flag which they are asked to die to uphold abroad. “The 75,000 black men whom we are now preparing to send to France could faht with much more spirit if tiey were assured that the black war orphans -of Alabama would have ‘better schools. larger opportunities to earn 2 livelihood and greater protection of the law than wneir fathers have had. If war is going to help bring these, things to pass then the Negro is ready to give his all to support his country’s arms—otherwise the Negro can put up but a half-hearted fight at btst. 5 “And if the Red Cross will help te win the war the Negro is' heart and fai the hed Ceaser” MRS.

The fact that the number of women who voted almost: equalled the total vote cast for the regular Republican candidate, shows that this new element must Be counted with in future elections. Another significant straw is that the woman candidate on the Prohibition ticket received only 382 vores, although the women who voted numbered 9,372, making it clear that the new voters were not swayed by sex in their action.” -~ . ‘ -That 463 voters took the trouble to write the nime of Reverdy C.

This question is without a doubt giving the Administration trou- bie. enough without hating Mr. Tearst make it we Only a few months ago the United States and Japan signed a“treaty in which the special sphere of the United States in Latin-America and the West Indies under the Monroe Doctrine was reaffirmed and in which the Uniced States recognized the special sphere of influence of Japan inthe Orient: Noy comes a test a8 to about ‘how jaf the treaty is‘supposed to work. Is it to“leexpected that Japan sit idly by while Germany with whom she is at war gets a stronghold in Siberia right at herdoor? Or is she not, with the approval of lier allies and uinder her reaty with us. justified in, forestalling such a condition if she fears it to be imminent; .Thege are questions that are puzzling our Government, and The Ameritan’s “praise” of President Wilson has not made the puzzle any easier.” Sa me inonether place MrcFigarsi says: Lo. . What Soest matte? how the white races are grouped among them- selves; wharfdoes it matter whar the ‘shifting lines and confines. of the white nations are; what does it matter whether ‘this or that group of ‘white people is embraced in the. Muscovite dominions or the Teuton” dominions or the Anglo-Saxon dominions? In any case the white’man's civilization, the white man's religions, the white man's standard’ of living and of morals, the white man's, ideals, will bemaintained,:and that is-all’” that counts. : : RR eg. May these blind fools of white nations! make ‘peace, among. them- selves and make preparations against the enemy for the fundamental con- flict which is at hand. a: This seems to, be about as subtle apiece of German propaganda as any American paper would dare to publish.at this time. It plain- ly hol& up the Yellow Peril as’a threat that we had better make peace at cuce_ with Germany. “What does it matter,” it says, Pichether we are under German or Anglo-Saxon dominion? Let uz make peace’at once and save ourselves from Asia.” ® But more dangerous than his messing up of diplomacy and his German propaganda is the doctrine of race hatred that Mr. Hearst is preaching. He pictures Japan as planning to over run white civili- zation and dominate the world. This is absurd. All that Japan wants is to be treated ‘iairly and.in accordance with her standing az a nation, But the-picture is as dangerous as it is absurd. It is calculated to stir up the feelings that will bring on the war between the races which Mr. Hearst pretends sa mucho fear. The doeirine of white supremacy which he preachestis/ar the bottom of the war that is being waged to-dag. . And we wish to add that our opinion of “the white man’s civili- zation, the white man's:religions, the white’man’s standards of liv- ing and of morals, the white man’s ideals” is not so‘high as the ove that Mr. Hearst proclaims. As grounds for our opinion. we point to the present condition of Europe. .

According to latest reports the drys have gone over the top and are attacking the wets in-their last trench. In all probability New York will aiopz the ‘amendment. The fight in this state has brought forth some very curious arguments pro aud con. especially ‘con. . Among the most curious lof the latzer was one advanced by a correspondent to the New York ‘Sun, ‘in which he said: . 2 To the poor workingmaa the saloon is a club wherein recreation, | plus the benedt of drink is found. Here he meets his fellow mah and “forgets the dantied monotony of existence for the hour, an existence but fittle better than tha: of the ox Here in this club he may be slightly exhilarated ,by alcohol and forge: his sorrows and remember his troubles no more. a | gol predice that if prohibition is sdopied there will de more civit | irouble than our country has ever had, and that ja the end, since "Ht 15 | miprally wrong, ko jira: of ioral ‘prohibition will geduze im our country. |The Sun gorresnandens. of course, intended his letter.as an argu- ment agains: prohibition, but it is one of the best’ arguments“for prohibition that has yet met our eye. i prohibition is going, x0 cause the poor workingman to stop, drowning his sorrows in alcohoi and make him think seriously <fout his condition and take steps to betier it, them let prohibition come. even if it does bring the cogmity more civil trouble than it has ever had. / Pergonaily, we are stot overwhelmingly in favor of a Constitu- ‘sonal prohibition amendment: and not because we are not in favor of seeing the drink habit lessened or done away with, but because we do not believe that individual habits should or can be regulated by law. We believe the world would be bertér if everybody went to church or some place where they would derive spiritual inspiration on Sundays, but we do not believe the best results would be gained Ly passing a lay’ to that effect. . . However, regardless’ pf what anybody may think about, the question, national prohibition is coming, The Demon Rum is Aghi- ing his hatdest fight and 1s going down to deieat.

HAYWARD SPEAKS IN PRAISE OF HIS TROOPERS (Special to The New York Age.) NEWARK CITY, Neb.-Hon. William H. Pitten of this city, has received the following communication from the Newark Hamayward School, in which Colonel Hayward says some nice things about his colored troops: "I hardly know what to write you about ourselves not consolable. We took a twenty-hour rail journey that would have given any North Pole expedition gold in my life. We detrained and struck 'where we care' at about 3 o'clock a.m. The ground was frozen a foot deep and covered with snow. When the double doors at either end of the barracks swung open and the companies started to march into the camp, they did look a great deal like barrs, and of course all of my boys began to whimmy and gallop and say 'Gidday and 'Whoa' to each other. Their good humor arises, above every difficult situation apparently. I am knocking on wood with a gun that I have had only one prisoner assigned to the guard house since arrived here. "The first week we were here, it was cold, cold, cold; everything froken up but the lice. The second week we was more moderate, but brought incessant rain, resulting in lakes gulls and oceans of mud with no bottom. Last Sunday, we had a wonderful day with wonderfully warm, sunshine which dried off enough ground for a ball game between the second and third battalions. The French population, civil and military, were much excited—the long flies and the curled ball being peculiarly astonishing to them. Since we were on the ship the common troop of the ship didn't exist in the navy where one gets as much for riding as the soldier gets for walking. There are two sides to the discussion. "I am realizing more than ever, the tremendous responsibility of being on this great and wonderful adventure in command of 2,000 singing, laughing, fighting children—for, after, all, that is what they are, and I presume that is the reason I love them every one—good, bad and indifferent. I feel more and more certain, as the days go by, that they will give a tremendous count of their suffering over the big crisis comes. I will feel more sure of them some lines of work than others. I am positive they will be the greatest shock troops ever known, and personally have no fears of the tremendous noises of heavy artillery and bombs destroying their nerves, as has been the case with the colored troops from Asia, so I read and am informed. A lot of these boys of mine were born alongside the noisy elevated roads. All of them have dodged traffic most of their lives. "They stood the protracted hung on the range extraordinarily well, and don't believe any new strange notes will produce anything more funny remarks about stage thunder, etc. Perhaps I am more sanguine than I should. I must say they were the calmest and most stoical lot of men on the ship in the hours of peril—real of fancied, that about which I should know you a letter the captain of the transport wrote me in which he pronounces them the cleanest, most dignified, and best disciplined soldiers he had ever seen on a transport, which, of course, was very gratifying. All of them are learning French, and, of course have started in on the biggest words first." NEW HAVEN, CONN. NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Bufford, Gordon and the Rev. Wm. H. Lacey were in Branford on Friday. Mr. Gordon spoke there Sunday afternoon on the subject "Begin Where You Are." H. Hooks accompanied Mr. Gordon on Sunday. Next Sunday afternoon the Rev. Lacey will be the speaker.

Lewis was the speaker WASHINGTON LETTER A warning has been given to the people of the District of Columbia by Federal Food Administrator Clarence R. Wilson, that there will be a shortage of ice here next summer unless the local companies increase their production 100 per cent. He says such a shortage will have a destruction of quantities of foodstuffs. Increased production is essential because of the vast increase in population and because of the growth of the ice cream industry, it being estimated that Washingtonians are the largest per capita consumers of ice cream in the United States. The consumption is expected to show a record increase in ice cream sales in the food administration boosting of ice cream as a "war dish" and the liquor dry law which puts soft drinks at a premium. We have some twenty-five drug stores here and they do a "land office" business in ice cream and soft drinks. Some of them have invented ice cream combinations that are simply irresistible. I let us all pray for summer here as we have one of the hottest places on the map to keep cool. Some time ago there was much talk among *certainly colored* men here of opening and operating an up-to-date garage, but nothing came of it. It is a splendid business opportunity which some white companies have embraced in their business. Most of our professional and business men own automobiles, but they purchased them through white dealers, and buy their supplies of and have their repair done by white dealers. This ought not to be so. More of the money made among ourselves should be spent on our own business. That our men in the District of Columbia talk so often and long about doing things and seldom do any thing. We don't words, counts of them, work with others. Does Prohibition prohibit it? There are plenty of "rounders" in the District of Columbia who know that it does since it went into effect last October and that its supplies threaten by the regular channels. The Fourth Congressional enactment, where teenth and You Street District, their colored men used to quench thirst, drowned their sorrows, and where greedy men gate on the corners and curbs, with constant embarrassment and invitation to colored ladies who had to go into the district to do their marketing, especially on Saturday, nights, does not look the same since the saloons price out of business. The improvement is farfaked and gratifying. After being absent from the regular meetings of the Woman Wage Earners' Association for more than two months, on account of illness, Miss Jeannette Carter, the president, predeceased by interesting meeting last Sunday after her death, was delivered by Miss Nellie A. Plummer, and a solo sung by Luke G. Reynolds. Miss Carter made an address in, which she laid stress upon the good work accomplished by the association during the first year of its existence, and in the public spirit shown by them in standing together in the face of the most trying obstacles and difficulties. On this point she said: "In a large measure we have had to tread the wine press alone to depend upon ourselves and our, slender resources of the community and for so much of the uplift and inspirational-work as we have been able to accomplish. I say it with regret and in sadness, but without resentment that the association has not received the sympathy and support of the subordinates in the District of Columbia, which we asked for and had a reasonable right to expect. It may be that they were too proud to be counted as wage-earners among us, and so passed us by on the other side. It looks that way to me. I regret to say. But we are not ashamed to have it known that we are wage-earners; we are not too proud to associate with other wage-earners of the race and to do all that we can, as an association of the living, working and wage-earning opportunities of the women of the race, who need such service, such sacrifice, just as the women of other race groups need it. "But in spite of the hindrances, all drawbacks, the association accomplished a great and good work during the first year of its existence and put to shame and confusion the false presses, who here and in the public press, are on the defensive on months in which to die. Instead of dying, the association is very much alive, stronger morally and financially than it was six months ago. Have we not, here a record of achievement wherewith to be proud, whereof to be sure you agree with me that we have, in the record, that we appeal to the record to prove for its the good work we have accomplished."
