APRIL 5 WOMEN REPLACE MEN AS RAILROAD PORTERS (Special to The New York Age) (Special to THE NEW YORK AOK) Philadelphia, Pa. — Superintendent Greer, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Terminal at Camden, reported Saturday that the Government had requested the employment of women in the capacity of porters. Eight women have already been engaged and many more will be hired. They will receive $50 a month, and will take the places of colored men who are being used to better advantage in other branches of the ferry and railroad service. WANTED—QUALIFIED (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) Camp Funston, Kan.—The 92d Division, National Army, is in need of soldiers who can qualify as stenographers, electricians, auto mechanics, machinists, pharmacists, hospital attendants, clerks, twypists, saddlers, harness-makers, bakers, horseshoers, etc. Through the co-operation of the press we have secured a number of specially qualified men, but our needs as yet have not been fully supplied. Doubtless there are many Negro registrants who are qualified to meet the requirements of the Division, who will be called sooner or later, and who are willing to enter the military service ahead of their turn on the register in order to serve. There are distinct advantages to such men of entering the Army when they are needed most. In so doing, they fit into All correspondence should be addressed to Leout, T. T. Thompson, Assistant Personnel Officer, 92d Division, Camp Funston, Kansas. HOWARD ORPHANAGE TO TEACH THE TRADES The managers of the Howard Orphanage are planning to establish an agricultural and trades school at Kings Park, L. I., according to a statement issued by L. Hollingsworth Wood, president. Mr. Wood's statement follows: "The managers of the Howard Orphanage at their recent meeting, after considering the requirements in the way of repairs and improvements which would be necessary before they could hope to obtain the consent of the State and City authorities to reopen the institution, and after considering the fact that there are outstanding obligations to creditors amounting to over $10,000 decided that it would be necessary to cut off the expense of feeding the ten horses, seventeen cows and the pig and chickens during this period in order to meet the claims of the creditors. "In planning for the future the managers thought that the great need of the colored children of New York was a proper agricultural and trade school, and that they should lay their plans to provide such a much-needed institution. "The fundamental basis for such an institution is, of course, the farm, and it was to conserve the farm and buildings and protect them from the judgments of the creditors that the sale of the live stock and second-hand farm machinery was determined upon. "The managers feel that first the debts to the creditors, including a $10,000 installment upon the mortgage on the property, must be met, and they are bending their energies to meet these claims immediately. "Meeting the carrying charges for the interest and taxes and a caretaker's salary will require the earnest co-operation of all our friends, and in the work to develop the real agricultural and industrial school which we want, we ask the co-operation of all forward-looking citizens of our great metropolis." FARMERS WILL BE EXEMPTED FARMERS WILL BE EXEMPTED To Be Relieved of Military Duty and Permitted To Return To Farms Special Assistant to Secretary of War Addresses Farmers of St. Denis, Md., and Makes Unofficial Statement that Effort will Soon be Made to Give Some Relief to Labor Shortage in Agricultural Districts. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) St. DENIS, Md.—In his address to the farmers of this community Sunday, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, made the unofficial statement that in order to relieve the shortage of labor during the coming or present farming season an order will soon be issued by the proper officials in Washington granting permission for all bona fide farmers and farm hands caught in the draft and called to the various camps and cantonments to return to their farms during the coming season and so long as they are engaged in farming during the coming season will be exempted from Mr. Scott stated that along with the increased demand for the things which are produced upon the farm has unfortunately come a shortage of labor available for carrying on the work of the farms, due to the fact that a number of farmers and farm hands within draft age had been called to the colors and hundreds and thousands of them are now in camp across the seas in active military service with many yet liable to be called. The exemption of farmers from military duty during the coming season will afford some direct and immediate relief to the farmers of Baltimore county and vicinity, Mr. Scott said. Many of the colored farmers of St Denis and community are members of the Patapsoo Negro Business League and are among the thriftiest farmers in Maryland. They raise immense quantities of truck products each year as well as the more substantial products of the farm which are handled through the Baltimore markets. Accompanied by C C Fitzgerald, president of the Patapsco Business League; William H. Langley, a commission merchant of Baltimore; William L Fitzgerald of the Baltimore Business League, and J. Logan Jenkins, the well-known Baltimore caterer, Mr Scott motted out to St. Denis Sunday afternoon and was met by an immense crowd of farmers, who, accompanied by their wives, had come for ten or twelve miles in buggies, wagons, on horseback and in their automobiles to the meeting. REV. WM. MOSS IS STRICKEN AT MEETING The Rev. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Brooklyn was taken suddenly ill while presiding at the monthly business, meeting of the church on Monday night. He was conveyed to his residence and a physician summoned. Upon a diagnosis of the case, the doctor found that the patient had suffered a severe stroke of paralysis, affecting the entire right side of body. His condition remains critical. Dr. Moss came to Brooklyn to assume the pastorate of Concord in September, 1910, and his pastorate has been marked by many progressive steps in the working of the church. The latest departure was the removal of the congregation to the larger and more modern edifice on Adelhui street. A trained nurse and members of the family are constantly at his bedside.

On Saturday of last week Camp Upton's crack colored troopers, known as the "Buffaloes," marched their way into the hearts of Father Knickerbocker's citizenry; next day they continued their successful drive by making willing captives of hundreds with dance and song. It was a complete and unconditional surrender. The cavalry given the "Buffaloes" during their two days' siege of the city was most cordial and sincere, and the warm greeting accorded them by the general public was unprecedented for its spontaneity and Liberality.

A feature of the parade was the sentiment of a stand of colors in regiment by the Union League Club. The troopers halted when they reached the reviewing stand in front of the office at Thirty-ninth street, and avenue, occupied by prominent officials and civilians. Governor Whitman, accompanied by staff, was the viewing officer. Among those in the reviewing stand as guests of the club were U. S. Senator Calder, Ennett J.

Gardiner, Police Commissioner Enright, George W. Harris, J. Van Vechten Olcott and R.A.S. Smith. The head of the regiment halted north of the clubhouse and Colonel Moss and his regimental staff officers stood in the middle of the street facing the reviewing stand. Governor Whitman, General Sherrill, General Johnson and the members of the Governor's staff left the reviewing stand and grouped themselves in the middle of the street facing the officers of the 367th. In his presentation address Governor Whitman said: "Colonel Moss, officers and men of the 367th Infantry of the National Army gentlemen of the Union League Club, and my other fellow-Americans, four times have colors been presented by this famed club to colored soldiers upon the very ground where you soldiers stand today. Four times have those colors come back to this historic spot, sometimes tattered and torn, it may be, but always honored and glorified. "On behalf of the Union League Club, I commit to your keeping the most sacred trust ever committed to map—the flag of the United States of America. I charge you by all that is sacred to defend this banner with all the strength and power that God has given you; but in doing so I feel and know already that you will never permit it to be dishonored, to shame yourselves or shame those who have given it to you today. Your country will trust you to be true to yourselves, true to the land of your birth, true to the record of those other soldiers of your race whose valorous deeds have brought glory to these Stars and Stripes. "Go forth and fight for the cause of humanity as those other colored patriots have done, but when you return from the forts, the trenches, the camps, the march, the battle line, bring the flag back without one stripe dishonored, one star obscured. "Bring it back victorious," cried the Governor. "They'll do it: hurrah for the Buffalooes," was shouted from the crowd. "May God bless you and keep you," the Governor added, "wherever your duty may call you, and bring you back to us to share with all your fellow-soldiers, white or black, who fight under this same old flag of freedom, the abundant measure of praise and pride (Continued on page five) EW YORK ROMENADE B vision 50 Cents ents may be secured at 93. Tul. Cardiffdtt 2820 Necess Make It Clear that They Will Never Agree to Any Plan to Voluntarily Set Race Off in a Prescribed Section of Baltimore. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) BALTIMORE, Mo.—A conference between representative white and colored men was held in the Mayor's reception room at the City Tall on Thursday of that week, at which the whites suggested that the colored people co-operate with them in carrying out the principles of the segregation law, recently annulled by the United States Supreme Court. The colored men present were James W. Hughes, caterer and president of Y.; M. C. A.; Dr. Howard E. Young, druggist; Cornelius C. Fitzpatrick, lawyer; William H. Langley, wholesale and retail produce dealer, and Carrington L. Davis, vice-principal of the Colored High School. Following the assertion by whites that good health conditions and racial peace would be maintained by voluntary and co-operative segregation, the colored men present began to protest. They pointed out that where Negroes moved property increased in value; that the whites should cease agitating the subject and that their newspapers should hit the matter drop, and also that there been only one instance of racial friction between the high court in the hand knocked out the supreme law Finding that the colored men would not agree to the suggestion of voluntary segregation, Mayor Preston asked the newspapers not to publish anything about the meeting. At the suggestion of 'Assistant Health Commissioner Howard, those present were constituted a committee to study some plan of voluntary and co-operative segregation in residential districts. It is reported that the Negroes of Baltimore have decided to oppose any arrangement which would mean the voluntary segregation of colored citizens in Baltimore, and they intend to fight any such plan submitted by advocates of segregation.

Methodist Brotherhood Thursday evening of last week in the auditorium of Mother Zion Church rendered an excellent program in honor of its president, James A. Hopkins. In glowing termis encomiums were heaped upon Mr. Hopkins, who in the ranks of this church has given twenty-three consecutive years of service. Mr. Hopkins holds a position of trust with the New York Life Insurance Company and has been in its employ for more than twenty years. In the church he is a trustee, steward of the charity fund, class leader, president of the Brown Chapter of the Methodist Brotherhood and a member of a number of auxiliaries. He is a citizen whose life and achievements make his friends feel justly proud. The rarity of a layman receiving his flowers while he could smell them seemed to be the keynote of the occasion. T. E. Taylor, secretary of the Colored Mens Branch Y. M. C. A., warned the president "beware when all men speak well of you." Bishop Lee said that "affairs of this kind should make men live longer, work harder and die happier." The pastor, the Rev. J. W. Brown, said, among other things, that "the pulpit sees this man as a quiet, unassuming, dutiful, non-fanatic Christian worker." Always having a plan to operate. Mr. Hopkins was showered from all sides with words of praise and commendation. His class, the banner class of the church, remembered, after Mrs. Locke, after her address made him d lovely presentation. Miss O'Connor Corbin, for the Sisterhood, presented a beautiful bouquet of white and red roses set in ferns and arbor vitale. B. D. Fenderson, president of the Trustee Board and treasurer of the Brotherhood, made the presentation for the Brotherhood. Dr. York Russell, regretting his inability to attend, sent his address which was very impressively read by Morton G. Fleming, clerk clerk. It follows: Tel. 5005 Morningside. DR. YORK NUMBELL 244 West 131st Street New York, March, 20, 1918. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:— Through th' ecourtesy of the church clerk, and at his request, I have been asked to be present at this function to-night—a function, which has as its object and purpose: The giving of a reception to Mr. James A. Hopkins. Regretting my inability to be present, I am sending a word in appreciation of the recipient. I am requested to give expression to my knowledge of Mr. Hopkins as "A Man and a Citizen." It is indeed, a source of genuine gratification to me, as I appear in the role of spokesman for one whose intimate acquaintance and personal friendship I have evidence for a period extending over nearly a score of years. James A. Hopkins. Man and citizen: "Noble and inspiring words." Citizen and Man! Words inseparable from each other. Words linked together as it were, by a sort of Gordian knot. Words bound together by the closest ties of affinity, going hand in hand, like the twin constellation of Gemini, blending in one harmonious whole—the complete man. A vigorous manhood, and a noble citizenship, present a brilliant spectacle to the observer. There is nothing which lends so sweet a charm and fascination to one's fellows, as a manly manhood. And, in these times of destructive criticism and pernicious fear, than that which is presented here tonight at Mother Zion.—A man in the self esteem of his co-laborera. "Having centered about him, his pastor, the pupils of the class he instructs and directs, all agreed and at one, that Mr. Hopkins observes and merits this honor, which is his tonight. My tribute, simple and modest as it is, expresses the high opinion of Mr. Hopkins when I assert, that as I know him: He is a man, manly, dignified, and erect. In my dealings with him, he has been conscientious and above reproach. As a manly and devoted Churchman, he has stood as it were, on the Hill of Zion; fighting and struggling for the good and welfare of the church to which he is devoted. I have seen him enthusiastically soliciting funds for the support of Mother Zion, regardless of the menace to his health after a week of hard toll, and yet striving to be honourable the Sabbath Day, yet bonious. Dignified always, and never obsequious. This, Mr. Chalman, is my tribute, humble as it is. It is the unadulterated truth. Mr. Hopkins as a loyal, law-abiding and decent citizen, needs no words of mine in attestation. I rejoice in conclusion to believe Mr. Chairman and friends, that a loftier, yea, a pobber and a grander by far, citizenship awaits Mr. James R. Hopkins, for faithful and devoted service in his home and in the Church—a citizenship in a city not made with hands; in another Zion, far exalted above your own Mother Zion; to which I hope, when it shall be night with Mr. Hopkins, reverberant from his manly and conscientious heart, we, his admirers and friends, will hear his utterance, that: "Beautiful for situation is Zion, The joy of the whole earth." Mr. Hopkins responded as best he could; for he seemed to have been passing through a hard strain, after assuring heartfelt appreciation, he advised the young men to make this gathering an incentive to prompt them on to higher and nobler achievements. R. W. Payne and his masterly manner in coudering the program. After the exercles all partook of a humorous repast in the lecture room. The Age is in receipt of a communication from Major Monson Morris of the 15th New York Infantry, somewhere in France, stating that a reward of $50 each would be paid for the apprehension of thirteen deserters of the regiment, the amount to be paid upon each being turned over to Governor's Island.

MANY ATTEND BALL BY THE BANKS BROTHERS New York's colored public turned out on masse Thursday evening of last week to give its presence to the four Banks brothers on the occasion of their twenty-second anniversary in the commercial life of New York. Palace Casmo held about the largest crowd at the celebration than at any previous time this season. Notwithstanding the affairs given at Manhattan Casino and several other local auditoriums on the same date of the four Banks brothers, a more charming crowd of youthful beauty that danced to the tuneful music of Prof. Pendergast, the founder of the history of these men who have climbed the ladder of success rung by rung is interesting. William Banks, the owner of the Keystone Cafe at 23 West 133d street, made his start in business with his brothers back in 1892, with a combination barber shop and billiard parlor. He also opened a later lease, the building at 206, West 37th street, where they opened the famous Keystone Hotel. In 1907 Edward Banks sold his interest in the hotel to William and opened the Park Hotel at 78 First avenue, Long Branch, N. J., which he still conducts. Dandridge, the eldest of the Banks, has not for many years been associated with the finest enterprises of the brothers, devoting the major portion of his time to his interests in Philadelphia. Joseph, who lost his leg and arm while in the employ of the street cleaning department, is one of the active aids to his brother, William. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. SARAOGA SPRINGS, N.

So great have been the drawbacks encountered, due to the large number of illiterates among the drafted men, that it recently moved the New York Evening Post to ask editorially, "Are we an educated people?" The measure of this illiteracy among the Negro drafted men has been indicated by the many demands made for those qualified to act as clerks, stenographers, typists, mechanics, machinists and other skilled occupations, and the difficulties met with in filling these demands. This condition of ignorance has been forced upon the Negro in the South by the failure of the State to provide adequate schooling facilities. But the national measure of illiteracy is by no means confined to the Negro. The South in its determination to keep the black man in the bonds of ignorance has enforced the same condition on the whites. According to the Post, the country is full of illiterates. Secretary Lane states that there are 700,000 men registered under the draft who are unable to read and write. These men cannot read the orders posted daily, cannot study the manual of arms, cannot read nor write their letters, and cannot follow the signals in battle. The inability to communicate with the families they have left at home is only one feature, though a most distressing one, of the whole awkward and embarrassing situation. In some of the cantonments there exists pressing need for a professional letter writer, for the sole purpose of keeping this class of recruits in personal touch with the families they have just left. To cope with this long existing evil, the results of which are apparent to the whole country, a bill has been introduced in Congress providing money to enable the Bureau of Education "to begin and conduct a vigorous and systematic campaign for the eradication of adult illiteracy." The Post, in commenting on this measure, points out the fact that fundamentally the attack upon illiteracy belongs to the States and cities. It adds significantly, that "if the Southern States did their duty in supporting schools and training teachers for the Negroes," "half the adult illiteracy of the country would disappear." If you want to become Secretary so do their duty in this matter. So far they have chosen to keep the whites down in the mire of ignorance sooner than allow the Negro to rise with the rest of the community. It is up to the national government to devise a way of meeting this situation, now that it has been demonstrated as a menace to the welfare of the whole nation. UNDER TWO FLAGS The suggestion that Government control of the railroads would result in the abolishment of the "Jim Crow" law has caused some commotion in the South, it would seem, according to the ebullitions of a daily newspaper called the Spartan and published at Spartanburg, S.C. So appalling does such a possibility appear to this fire-eating editor that he immediately declares war against the Government, in the following pronunciamento: Bitterly as all of us in the South hate the Germans, should the government see fit to repel the "Jim Crow" law, we would all consider that our first duty was to fight a civil war and that is exactly what would take place. So discrimination and disloyalty walk hand in hand. That "Jim Crow" is part and parcel of the British administration of South Africa is shown by some new regulations with regard to native passengers, on the Union railways, as printed in the Native Opinion, published at Kingwilliamstown. They provide; among other things; The Administration may set apart any railway premises or any portion thereof, or any conventions at a railway station, or as a stopping place, or on a train, for the exclusive use of males or females or persons of particular races or different classes of persons or natives. Non-European (coloured persons or natives) will only be allowed to travel in the compartments or coaches specially set apart for their use, and they may not frequent or remain standing in the corridors in any, portion of a 'coach which is set aside for European passengers. To be sure, station masters are authorized to make exceptions to this rule, if the circumstances justify the adoption of such a course. So probably there would not occur the inconsistency of an officer traveling on His Majesty's service being expelled and jailed for traveling in a first-class coach, as happened to an American army officer in Oklahoma recently. But otherwise "Jim Crow" seems to be equally at home under British and American rule. THE ROASTER ROASTED. Mayor John C. Grace of Charleston, S. C., happened to be a speaker at the dinner of an Irish society in Buffalo, N. Y., on St. Patrick's Day. In expounding the principles of genuine Americanism, the speaker could, not resist going out of his way to roast the Negro (figuratively, since he could not do so literally), as follows: Genuine Americanism consists not merely in proclaiming, but in passionately applying the great principle of freedom that all men are created equal. I would not leave you under the error that I regard my brother in black as my equal in every respect. Nor did Jefferson. There was and is a disparity between the races which, no amount of charity can bridge and which, in reference to the black, leaves him so completely unequal to the struggle and standards of our civilization that no matter how genuinely we might apply the principles of Americanism to him he must lag behind and drag us down, if not to his level, certainly seriously handicapped in the race. Hence Jefferson wisely believed that as the Negro had been brought in bondage from the shores of Africa and kept in bondage under the mockery of our early Americanism, there would be and there could be no consistent solution of his problem but to send him back to Africa with the blessings accruing meantime of what he had learned under our beneficent example. The man that God made black and inferior has no rightful presence in our society. God created the races of the earth and fixed the bounds of their habitation. Man has disturbed them only to his sorrow. This outburst prompted the Buffalo Daily Express to roast the Southern mayor for his indiscretion in the following caustic rebuke: This was apropos of nothing in particular, but apparently because the orator has to unpack his heart on all occasions of his sectional prejudices. But what good does it do Ireland? Doesn't it send to discredit the speaker's championship of VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTEMPORARY EDITOR AIDING THE ENEMY If you hear a shot and see a revolver in his hand and later dies has been shot to death; you are you saw running with the revolver.

Now to President Wilson and points our attention facts that are almost in this country. He states that not read or write in any language illiterates above the age of two. shot and see a man rush out and later discover that some death; you are justified in thinking with the revolver in his hand weeks ago the thousands of men that shipbuilding plant on Hog Island are striving to help build that other. That is, when the meat big mess hall and took their way to the Senate Committee on the committee, went down. At the midday meal Senator at the mess hall to eat, like good meat was plain, but wholesale and buying it. But suddenly the Senate with loss of appetite and acuteness discovered that he was eaten are not divided off by a partition of the Senate Committee on the committee, went down. We are therefore justified by the carries a revolver loaded with the who killed this most elementiously existed at the plant. Department of the Government, persons who are trying to learnt its work of prosecuting the king said every day that without Hog Island white and colored men and harmony to give to somebody and injects a meat which divides the men into two full feeling, and so decreases the war. And this when our chance ever by every extra rivet that is present in this country, and its in the army and the navy, which is winning of the war by the Kaiserocracy to the Negro, wouldiment put a stop to the activitism less than giving aid to the war. OTHER FALLACY EXPOSED In instrumental in exposing a Negro has been very fortunate, that for years was spread it as a fact without question among people. The assertion was made all prone to contract and of the young men of the race. The worst thing, especially here was no way of disproving the draft law, and all the years of them, had to undergo to be colored young men not only young men in the examination. Young men out of each hundred and fit than the number of your demined. This test was on so great forever the insidious run related for years. Another fallacy that had equal the Negro population made up of states. Now comes Secretary and points out that the war that are almost unbelievable" runs states that nearly 700,000 men many language; that there are no age of twenty, and that the If you hear a shot and see a man rush out of a house with a revolver in his hand and later discover that some one in the house has been shot to death, you are justified in thinking that the man you saw running with the revolver in his hand committed the murder. Up to a few weeks ago the thousands of white and colored workmen at the great shipbuilding plant on Hog Island near Philadelphia, where they are striving to help build that bridge of ships to France, all ate together. That is, when the meal hour came, they all rushed into the big mess hall and took their seats regardless of complexion. A few weeks ago the Senate Committee on Commerce, with Senator Vardaman on the committee, went down to Hog Island to inspect the plant. At the midday meal Senator Vardaman went with the others into the mess hall to eat, like good democrats, with the men. The dinner was plain, but wholesome and bounteous, and everybody was enjoying it. But suddenly the Senator from Mississippi was struck with loss of appetite and acute indigestion and, perhaps, nausea; for he discovered that he was eating in a room with colored men who were not divided off by a partition or a rail or even an imaginary line. After the visit of the Senate Committee on Commerce a new rule was established in the mess hall at Hog Island, and now the couple of thousand colored workmen are compelled to eat on one side of the room. We are therefore justified, by the fact that Senator Vardaman always carries a revolver loaded with race-prejudice in thinking that it was he who killed this most elementary practice of democracy which previously existed at the plant. Where is that department of the Government whose business it is to hunt out those persons who are trying to lessen the efficiency of the Government in its work of prosecuting the war? Here is a clear case. It is being said every day that without ships we cannot win the war. At Hog Island white and colored men were working together in good feeling and harmony to give the country ships. Now comes along somebody and injects a mean, dirty piece of Southern prejudice which divides the men into two classes, incites dissatisfaction and ill feeling, and so decreases the efficiency of the whole working body. And this when our chances for winning the war are made brighter by every extra rivet that is driven into a ship. There is an element in this country, and its influence is evident at Washington, in the army and the navy, which if matters came to choice between the winning of the war by the Kaiser and the according of common democracy to the Negro, would prefer to see the Kaiser win. Let the Government put a stop to the activities of these agents who are doing nothing less than giving aid to the enemy. ANOTHER FALLACY EXPOSED. The war has been instrumental in exposing a great many fallacies. In this the Negro has been very fortunate. There was an old and persistent fallacy that for years was spread about so generally that people accepted it as a fact without question. It was regarding the health of colored people. The assertion was made over and over that colored people were all prone to contract and die of consumption and that most of the young men of the race were the victims of venereal diseases. The worst thing, especially about this latter charge, was that there was no way of disproving it. Then came along the draft law, and all the young men of the country, ten millions of them, had to undergo a careful physical examination; and the colored young men not only equaled but surpassed the white young men in the examination. That is, a larger number of colored young men out of each hundred examined were found to be clean and fit than the number of young white men out of each hundred examined. This test was on so large a scale that it ought to set at rest forever the insidious rumors that pseudoscientists have circulated for years. There has been another fallacy that had equally general acceptance. It was that the Negro population made up the bulk of illiteracy in the United States. Now comes Secretary Lane in a letter to President Wilson and points out that the war has "brought to our attention facts that are almost unbelievable" regarding illiteracy in this country. He states that nearly 700,000 men of draft age cannot read or write in any language; that there are more than 4,600,000 illiterates above the age of twenty, and that there are 5,516,163 the weaker peoples? In much the same strain did the English overlords talk of his own enslaved ancestors, the Irish kerns. It isn't true that the Negro is inferior to the Caucasian in capacity for civilization. Anthropology shows that. It is true that the Negro has made extraordinary strides in education and wealth since emancipation. Departation would have been a physical impossibility in Jefferson's time. It is an utterly impracticable solution of the race problem now, when the proscribed race numbers more than a tenth part of the entire population of the United States. We wonder if the speaker advocates wholesale deportation when he is at home in a region which objects so violently to the diversion of even a small percentage of its low-priced labor? And we wonder if he considers burning at the stake a "beneficient example" to set by a superior race to an inferior one? This dignified and deserved rebuke should teach that class of white Southerners who seek to impose their vicious sentiments on Northern communities that, while they are suffered in silence, they are frequently regarded as criminal nuisances as well as unwelcome guests. A mistaken sense of hospitality may avert the rebuke in many cases, but they are properly registered among the undesirables. a man rush out of a house with a discover that some one in the house is justified in thinking that the man in his hand committed the murders thousands of white and colored hog plant on Hog Island near Philadelphia to help build that bridge of ships to ts, when the meal hour came, they and took their seats regardless of the Committee on Commerce, with the Committee, went down to Hog Island to say meal Senator Vardaman went to eat, like good democrats, with but wholesome and bounteous, and suddenly the Senator from Mississippi and acute indigestion and that he was eating in a room with off by a partition or a rail or even the Committee on Commerce a new hall at Hog Island, and now the men are compelled to eat on one more justified by the fact that Senator Silver loaded with race prejudice in and this most elementary practice ofsted at the plant. the Government whose business it are trying to lessen the efficiency of prosecuting the war?

Even the children of Alabama have adopted the lynching bee as an infantile diversion, it would appear, according to the Montgomery Advertiser. A dispatch from Gadsden in that State tells how three twelve-year-old boys are in jail, charged with assault with intent to murder, as the result of an attempt to hang another boy of thirteen. The victim was being strangled after he was strung up and would have died, but for the timely arrical of an outsider who cut the rope and released him. This is but the normal result of the continued practice, of lynching in the South, with the common feature of including women and children among the spectators. There is a Biblical saying about reaping the whirlwind, and the South cannot hope to escape the inevitable penalty of the violation of all moral and criminal law. If such incidents as this do not open its eyes to the grave extent of the evil it is fostering, there is no hope for its salvation. We wonder how many more submerged truths in favor of the Negro the war will bring to light before it is over. "BRING IT BACK." Last Saturday was a glorious day for the color Camp Upton. Thousands packed the sidewalks of the in the world to see them march by. The weather's marching; bright and sunny and with just enough to make the seven miles pleasant exercise. They exactly on the minute; and as it swung out of into Fifth avenue there were shouts of "Here they come!" All the way up the great thoroughfare the streets and at the windows gave the men an ovation strange that they did, for the black soldiers, marching soldiers can march, were a magnificent spectacle. Expressions of admiration at their appearance wides. But it was not merely their soldierly appearance forth the spontaneous greeting that met them all there was something else at work in the minds of the people who saw them marching by, many of them painful Fifth avenue for the last time. And that some was working in the minds of the people was the size and eager young men going forth to fight and die if freedom of the world, while their own is yet deniant thought must have brought a lump into the throat a eye of more than one of those who watched these blinging by. At the Union League Club Governor Whitman tinguished men reviewed the parade. The line had the Governor, on behalf of the club, presented the stand of colors. Governor Whitman made an eloquent and Colonel Moss made an eloquent response. From the report of the Governor's remarks weing: Go forth and fight for the cause of humanity as those patriots have done, but when you return from the forts, camps, the march, the battle line, bring this flag back will dishonored, one star obscured. a day for the colored soldiers from the sidewalks of the greatest street bay.

Armor's remarks we clip the follow- e of humanity as those other colored return from the forts, the trenches, the ing this flag back without one stripe Last Saturday was a glorious day for the colored soldiers from Camp Upton. Thousands packed the sidewalks of the greatest street in the world to see them march by. The weather was perfect for marching; bright and sunny and with just enough snap in the air to make the seven miles pleasant exercise. The parade started exactly on the minute; and as it swung out of Madison Square into Fifth avenue there were shouts of "Here they come! here they come!" All the way up the great thoroughfare the crowds in the streets and at the windows gave the men an ovation; and it is not strange that they did, for the black soldiers, marching as only black soldiers can march, were a magnificent spectacle. Expressions of admiration at their appearance were heard on all sides. But it was not merely their soldierly appearance that brought forth the spontaneous greeting that met them all along the line; there was something else at work in the minds of the thousands of people who saw them marching by, many of them passing up beautiful Fifth avenue for the last time. And that something else that was working in the minds of the people was the sight of the brave and caiger young men going forth to fight and die if need be for the freedom of the world, while their own is yet denied them. The thought must have brought a lump into the throat and a tear to the eye of more than one of those who watched these black boys marching by. At the Union League Club Governor Whitman and other distinguished men reviewed the parade. The line halted here while the Governor, on behalf of the club, presented the regiment with a stand of colors. Governor Whitman made an eloquent presentation and Colonel Moss made an eloquent response. From the report of the Governor's remarks we clip the following: Go forth and fight for the cause of humanity as those other colored patriots have done, but when you return from the forts, the trenches, the camps, the march, the battle line, bring this flag back without one stripe dishonored, one star obscured. Bring it back victorious, cried the Governor. They'll do it; hurry for the Buffalooes, was shouted from the crowd. May God bless you and keep you, the Governor added, wherever your duty may call you, and bring you back to us to share with all your fellow-soldiers, white or black, who fight under this same old flag of freedom, the abundant measure of praise and pride which your country will then feel for you. They'll do it; hurry for the Buffaloes, was shouted May God bless you and keep you, the Governor at your duty may call you, and bring you back to us to shake fellow-soldiers, white or black, who fight under this sage freedom, the abundant measure of praise and pride which will then feel for you. From the response of the colonel of the regime following: That the colored men of this command will protect flag by night and day, throughout long marches, at play with death itself, is something that goes without saying, to you today that this war is all over there is going presentation of colors here beside this clubhouse.

Johnson of The New York Age is an accomplished and moderate spokesman for the Negro race in this country, and it is with some right that he speaks for all the black and yellow people, wherever they may time to time before now. It is not what a man believes, but what he is, that counts for peace. The problem to be solved is not one of religious opinion, but of human nature, and this is a very broad and a very persistent problem. All cindled persons know this for themselves. THE "BUFFALOES." (New York Sun) We liked the sample of Camp Upton's Buffaloes when one battalion of them proved their soldierly appearance a few weeks ago; and yesterday's show of the 367th Regiment convinced the town that the outfit is as good as anything that has been said about it. They deserve the stand of colors the Union League Club, with peculiar appropriateness, presented to them. Their show today in the Mahattain Opera House will display their artistic gifts advantageously. New York welcomes them and bids them Godsend. TO SPREAD HROUGH THE SOUTH. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I received your paper and I am truly delighted with it. There are thousands of our people who do not know about colored newspapers, especially in the South where I come from. I hope you will spread your paper through the South, especially through Georgia. CATO CLARK. RELIGION AND THE NEXT WAR. (Hartford Courant) Mr. James W. Johnson of The New York Age is an accomplished and moderate spokesman for the Negro race in this country, and it is with some right that he speaks for all the black and yellow people, wherever they may live. The opinion expressed the other way by the Mothodist, the Mothodist Epigraphic Bishop of China, to the effect that the next war would be between the white race on one side and the yellow and black races on the other, gives occasion to Mr. Johnson to say a word about such a war and the word of averting it. He agrees with Dr. Bashford in thinking that such a war is possible, and indeed most probable, "if the white races tries to keep up the game of dominating the yellow and black people of the world." But he disagrees decidedly with Dr. Bashford in regard to the method of making such a war impossible. Dr. Bashford stated his remedy in these words: "The only solution of the problem is no multiplication of Christian mission by young black men to Christianity." A little Christianity on both sides might be helpful in this case. It is not theological training of any kind, however, that can stave off war. Theological training, carried far enough, can produce war, as it has done from ```markdown ``` DAY OF 1918 In the current number of the Tumgres Student, the following editorial appears from the pen of its editor, Emett J. Scott, secretary of the Tumgres Normal and Industrial Institute, now serving as special assistant to the Secretary of War at Washington, D. C. Easter is significant of the birth of a new day. It betokens the resurrection of all that is best and worth preserving in individual, racial and national life. The Easter Day of 1911 appears in the midst of a great international conflict when men of various races, colors, and conditions of life are locked in mortal combat for the grave, purpose of deciding whether Democracy or Autocracy shall survive—to determine whether government of the people, by the people and for the people, so beautifully described by Abraham Lincoln, shall live or shall perish from the Earth. With Easter comes the fervent hope and belief that the whole world will soon have a "new birth of freedom"—that the world may be ruled by the spirit of him who is "the resurrection and the life." This, indeed, is a new day of opportunity for the Negro race—a day of rewakening, in the hearts of men and women throughout America, of the strengthened loyalty and allegiance to the United States Government stands, and upon which our nature weafare and national security must rest. Changed conditions are greeting us on every hand, bringing in their wake a gratifying, though gradual, change in public opinion. Aside from an improved economic status, as evidenced in new and countless opportunities for industrial service in the North as well as in the South, the military value of the black man is being universally recognized. At the beginning of the war there were many of those who declared that "this is a white man's war in which white men alone should participate." The German Emperor and the German Government were. louden in proclaiming this false doctrine—seemingly forgetting that Freedom and Democracy are vital principles involved in the pending war, affecting every citizen, black and white or any-other color, of every country which is a party to the world-wide conflict. England answered Teutonic race prejudice by calling to her aid hundreds of thousands of Turcos from India, and other colored men from various English provinces. The French likewise called upon the Senegalese and hundreds of thousands of those brave black men quickly came to her rescue. It is now just a year since the United States entered the arena on the side of the Allies. It decided to follow the example of other liberty-loving countries and has asked every man regardless of his nationality to privilege and opportunities of Our Country to come to the colors and fully assume a citizen's duties and responsibilities, for "Duties and Responsibilities," in a Republic like ours, must always go hand in hand with "Privileges and Opportunities." Although Negro soldiers from Africa and the West Indies have fought many European struggles, and follow some of the greatest commanders, from Hannibal to Napoleon, the American contingent, by far, will be the largest Negro army ever mustered on European soil. Side by side with the legions of France, England, Italy and other armed countries they are readily risking and gallantly giving their lives in defense of our Nation's honor and "Humanity." Germany would have FREEDOM upon conquest, she would upon forever, the principles of DEMOCRACY, to a seruche of death, but, backed by the Lord of Hosts, the Negro is providentially helping America to "roll the stone away," and Freedom soon will burn the bonds of death, and Democracy will rise triumphant from a German grave. To paraphrase the words of the immortal Lord Nelson: In the crisis that confronts us "America Expects Every Man, Woman and Child 2000 IIls of Her Full Duly". If we as a race, would claim the fruits of our Nation's re-reaction, we must be willing to help Our Country bear its cross up the hill of its present Calvary. Not only are the colored men to be commended upon their promptness and even patriotic eagerness in registering their names, in the first draft for the National Army, but especially commendable is their record throughout the country in the matter of failing to claim exemptions from military service. The percentage of colored men who have claimed exemptions is less than the percentage of other drafts who have made such claims for exemptions. The records of many of the Doards of Exemptions throughout the country in States, in this connection, reflect great uprising upon the loyal willingness of the colored "American" to defend the "Stars and Stripes" and thus pay back in full the debt he owes to the same "Stars and Stripes" which stand sponsor for all the Freedom he now enjoys. Equally commendable are the patriotic activities of colored men and women in civilian life who are eagerly contributing their time, talent, industry, skill and substance in so many useful directions toward help to win the war.

(Continued from First Page) which your country will then feel for you." Col. Moss Pleads for. Square Deal. "Your Excellency, gentlemen of the Union League Club, and fellow-American citizens, in accepting this stand of colors I wish to say on behalf of the 367th Regiment of Infantry which it is my pleasant duty to command, that we prize this banner more than we can express. But we prize even more the spirit which actuated the givers. Not only "BUFFALOES" does the presentation indicate the delicate respect these givers, feel for our colored soldiers, but it also exemplifies the friendship this club has always felt for the soldier and patriot who sprang from slavery—a friendship based on the principle of a square deal for all men. "That the colored men of this country will protect and honor this flag by night and day, throughout long marches, at play or in a clutch with death itself, is something that goes without saying, and let me say to you today that when this war is all over there is going to be another presentation of colors here beside this clubhouse. "Mark you well what I say to you in this presence today, for I am an officer with eighteen years' experience with colored soldiers, having commanded them in two campaigns; these men are going to present you men in the Union League Club with colors on their return from France. The colors they will present you we want you to hang upon your walls, where they can tell with silent eloquence, in all the years to come a story of valor and unutterable patriotism to which all Americans, including our 12,000,000 of black citizens, can listen with a thrill of pride and satisfaction. "And now I take with my own hands this priceless banner and I place it in the hands of our color bearers beside our individual regimental colors which we are going to take 'over there.'" One of the telling points of Colonel Moss' remarka was that his men were going to Europe to fight for democracy, and that, when they returned to their mother country they expected to find true democracy here. When Colonel Moss had concluded his speech of acceptance the regiment began to sing "The Star Spangled Banner," after which "Over There," to quote the daily papers, "was sung as never before in New York." Then the "Buffaloes" proceeded on their march to Harlem, receiving a warm welcome from large crowds along the line of march. But it was in Harlem in the colored section, where Colonel Moss' men were the recipients of the most enthusiastic welcome. The sidewalks were packed and jammed as never before, and it seemed as if everyone of the 100,000 colored residents were out to give the "Buffaloes" the glad hand. The plaudits of onlookers on Fifth avenue were mild compared with the demonstrations along Lenox and Seventh avenues. Harlem was in holiday attire and Harlemites in holiday mood to show that they were with the SINGING AFTER PRESENTATION Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. Camp Upton boys first, last and all the time, which was done with zest and animation. Mayor Hylan an Interested Onlooker. Seventh avenue was not to be outdone by lower Fifth ... enue in the matter of reviewing stands. At 138th street three hundred white and colored citizens, headed by Mayor Hylan, saw the 367th pass from a point of vantage, and at 139th street Colonel Moss and staff saluted well known colored men and women who looked on from the bluff overlooking Seventh avenue which is a part of the spacious grounds of the Libya. Gov. Whitman and staff viewed the parade a second time at 138th street and Seventh avenue. Mayor Hylan appeared to keenly enjoy his visit to Harlem and applauded the "Buffaloes" as they passed without stint. The Police Band played tuneful selections up to the arrival of the soldiers. While marching up Fifth avenue the "Buffaloes" walked erect, looking neither to the left nor right. All eyes were straight ahead and every chest expanded. The ever genial Lieutenant Cooper, who has been in the army for twenty years or more, looked as though he would burst he extended, his chest half an inch more. But when the regiment reached Harlem there was less military rigidity. The soldiers, when called by their Christian names, would turn their heads and smile to acquaintances accosting them, in familiar fashion, and there was a general disposition toward relaxation. In Harlem the 367 Infantry Band and the 15th Battalion Band, N. Y. Guard, put aside their march music and saturated the air with ragtime, much to the delight of the thousands of reviewers, who thoroughly enjoyed the selections. At 125th street and Seventh avenue the parade disbanded after the regiment had marched more than seven miles—a thousands and thousands of white march which will be historic in the animals of New York's history. As the result of the fine showing made by the 367th Infantry in Saturday's parade a more wholesome sentiment and higher esteem have been crystallized in the largest city of the Western world for the Negro as a man and a soldier. Not even the most blind and prejudiced white American could gather from Saturday's parade an lot of proof to be used in argument that the Negro is unfit to be among officers and cannot successfully lead his own. Opinion is not always based on facts. For this reason we have in this country ON OF COLORS. Americans who have set opinions about their fellow colored Americans which are contrary to fact, a national tendency which helps to aggravate instead of aniliorate the so-called race problem. After viewing Saturday's parade and after attending Sunday's entertainment, I feel confident hundreds of white Americans went about their business with a better mind and a bigger heart, a broader vision, a growing appreciation of their fellow Americans, and a clearer understanding of the meaning of the term "true democracy." I have read of Buffalo stampedes in the Wild and Woody West. New York was given its first taste of what a "Buffalo" stampede really is last Saturday and Sunday—a stampede not soon to be forgotten.

WALTON) COLORED America's versatility was strikingly shown at the Manhattan Opera on Sunday at the regimental environment of the 367th Infantry brigade the "Buffaloes" sang and danced like professionals, furnish- ing one of the most novel and valuable benefit performances of the season. Women were times during the entertainment when it was difficult to obtain that the singer or dancer was not engaged daily in earning the hardihood on the stage instead of undergoing intensive training for the battle front; for at no time did the performance smack of the anatomy. However, it must not be assumed that the Negro is an unusual person, who, if given an opportunity, can do many things far above the level of mediocrity. A more picturesque stage setting could not have been shown than in Part 2, when one thousand black chad singers were seen grouped about the spacious stage of the Manhattan Opera House in a tablinum entitled "Somewhere in France." During the second part of the program the soldiers effectively murdered in regimental chorus "Roll Jordan Roll," "Mister Zip, Zip, Zip," "Old Black Joe," and other familiar songs, which were sung as only Negroes can. There was Corporal Thaddeus Drayton, up to last October a talented vandeville performer, who did some fancy dance steps to the symphonic music of the Regimental Band and Harmonica Orchestra. Corporal Drayton worked with enthusiasm in his swell dress suit and patent leather spats, and he seemed to be delighted to be once more before the footlights. Corporal Walter B. Williams was the principal soloist, while his comrades in arms were on the stage, and his tenor voice has not lost any of its sweetness since donning the uniform of Uncle Sam. His association, if anything, has improved since he was last heard in hiatum. Corporal Lester Miller, another Matrens boy, has made himself a one-stringed instrument, a near primitive of the violin, from which he gets very sweet music. Whether playing "The Rosary" or a rag, the bone-made instrument is his willing subject and the harmony he gets from one string is remarkable. Although Miss Abbie Mitchell has for the past two years devoted most of her time to dramatic work, she continues to sing as the Abbie of old; in fact, her work in stock tunes her to give a more accurate interpretation of her songs, which she does without overacting. In the first part Miss Mitchell artistically sang "Exhortation" and "Marminy" with Will Marion Cook at the piano. J. Turner Layton was accompanist in her other numbers. Barney Clark, who before becoming a draftee, was a female impersonator on the stage, and Sergeant Randall, another erstwhile civillian, did a pleasing turn, Clark winning applause with his dancing and foot-work in general. When, in response to encores, the soldier-female impersonator pulled off his wig and appeared in his soldier's coat, he handed many in the audience a big surprise. Perhaps the best-liked non-commissioned man in the 367th Infantry in Sergeant George E. Battle, who has aroused more enthusiasm among the "Buffaloes" for singing than any other person. He, too, has taken to soldiering after follo- bering the life of a performer. Sunday, Sergeant Battle did a turn at the piano, singing comedy songs, which went big with the white people in the audience in particular. After the 367th Infantry Band, E. E. Thompson; bandmaster, had opened the program with an inspiring overture, the 367th Infantry Octet, composed of Lieut. P. I. Lancaster, Lieut. James E. Scott, Lieut. Journee White, Lieut. Lorenno C. White, Lieut. Clarence Jones, Lieut. Hairy Bouden, Sergt. George E. Battle and Private S. E. Phillips, rendered selected songs which set the bill to going in lively fashion. Smith and Brown, adopted "Buffaloes," followed and made one of the biggest hits of the evening. Appearing in street clothes, the comedians did their regular act, consisting of funny dialogue and songs which went over big. Smith and Brown are good singers and have an act which should land them on some responsible vaudeville circuit. The Enlisted Men's Quartet composed of Private Thomas R. Hall, Corp. Walter B. Williams, Sergt. George H. Lewis and Private S. E. Phillips, pleased in selected songs. The Manhattan Opera House, whose seating capacity is only exceeded by the Hippodrome, was filled at both afternoon and evening performances by fashionable audiences. In the evening box parties were given by millionaires and wellknown citizens. One of the boxes was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Ryan and party. TO REPRODUCE "FAUST" AT LAFAYETTE "Faust" will be the attraction at the Lafayette again next week, Easter week. No stronger production could be selected than this masterpiece for the occasion, and especially in the form given by the Lafayette Players. In the two years of the stock season no performance has had so many requests for a repeat as "Faust." Letters and orders for seats have come from as far as Philadelphia and Atlantic City, not to mention nearby cities and towns. It may be of interest to the patrons and friends of the Lafayette Players to know that never during the week of any production given at this theatre have there been so many representatives of the theatres and white artists as during the engagement of "Faust." The management states that offers have been made by the best managers to have the Lafayette Players appear in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis; Cincinnati and Chicago. TO GIVE BENEFIT AND DANCE ON APRIL 12 A monster vaudeville benefit and dance will be given by the Auditorium Funds Clubs Friday evening, April 12, at Tally Revoir Hall, 1221 Bedford avenue, near Fulton, Brooklyn, for the benefit of the regimental fund of the 367th Infantry.

The best young singer on the year's tour is to receive a $50 musical scholarship. Miss Dainy Young won the medal in Dallas. HAVE MANY FEATURES Indications are that the seventh annual monster athletic meet and Easter promemade of the Smart Set Athletic Club on Friday evening, April 5, at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory, Sumner and Putnam, Brooklyn, will be a record-breaker from a standpoint of both attendance and brilliancy. An added feature will be the grand military review at which Col. James A. Moss of the 36th Infantry will be chief reviewer when the 13th Coast Artillery goes through maneuvers for a brief space of time. Among the entries on the athletic program attracting more than ordinary attention will be interbattalion officers' relay, open only to the officers of the 36th Infantry and a match relay between St. Christopher, Salem-Crescent and Alpha. Members of the "Buffalo" regiment will show civilians what they know about grenade throwing, bayonet combat and machine-gun drill. Dancing is advertised to start at 10 o'clock, music to be furnished by the 36th Regiment Band and the 13th Coast Artillery Band. The big entertainment will be staged for the benefit of the regimental fund of the 367th Infantry, Camp Upton, and the soldier boys and their sweethearts will be out in full force.

There is a new and gorgeous pageant in which 1500 persons appear in magnificent costumes, followed by a host of acts in all parts of the great Madison Square Garden.

The demonstration and manufacturing of the tooth powder on the grounds, in the presence of hundreds of both races, by Dr. Welters himself, clearly answered the much argued question as to whether the company manufactured their own dentifrice or not.

It was unfortunate that in taking these properties over, our agency management, the Philip A. Payton, Jr., Company, found it necessary to request a few tenants to move. This is usually the case in change of ownership and adjustment of rental conditions. Ours was no exception, with the result that we are now able to offer you a few choice apartments. It is our aim, and we hope to have the hearty co-operation of each and every one of our tenants to make these apartments the best from the standpoint of the character of occupancy as well as construction, set aside for the tenantry of Colored families, in the world: With that thought in mind, we have placed the management of these properties in the hands of Philip A. Payton, Jr., Company. This Company has moved its entire efficient force to 127 W. 141st Street, with offices right on the premises, and under their management we can assure the public a service that will equal any in New York City. These six large, modern De Luxe elevator apartment houses, containing 306 apartments, divided into suites of 3-4-5 and 6 rooms, were constructed at a cost of One Million and a Half Dollars.

If you wish to be an agent, send $1.00 and we will send you a full supply that you can begin work with at once, also agent's terms. Send all money or money order to THE STAR HAIR GROWER MGR. P. O. Box 812 Greensboro, N. C. Each house bears the name of a prominent Negro Character, and in organizing our Corporation to take title to these properties, we decided that the entire proposition should be known as the Payton Apartments Corporation, as a memorial to the daring sagacity, forethought and resourcefulness of Philip A. Payton, who died August 29th, 1917, just as he had accomplished this big deal. A proper idea of the magnitude of this operation can only be had by taking into consideration the fact that these six houses cover a tract of over two acres, or thirty-three full city lots. They mark the last word in high-class, fire-proof apartment house construction. Beautiful entrances, luxurious foyers and spacious courts; give these houses an air of refinement that is appealing. Every room in these houses is private and filled with beautiful gas and electrical fixtures. Hardwood trim floors and French doors with Florentine glass, add greatly, to the attractiveness of these apartments. The plumbing is of the very best, being open nickel plated, and the fixtures in both the kitchens and the baths are white porcelain. The bath rooms have tile floors and sidewalks, showers and pedestalled lavatories. Each apartment has telephone, roomy closets, special gas ranges, dumbwaiters, refrigerators connected with sewer and a metal sanitary garbage pail receptable built in the wall. We have arranged a scale of moderate rentals that should appeal to those who wish comfort and elegance without extravagance. RALEIGH N. C. Raleigh, N.
