ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELLOSED. :: :: VOL. XXXI. NO. 28. Services Largely Attended Morning and Evening MUSIC IS ENJOYED Costumes More Subdued Than of Former Years Owing to Warfare. The ideal weather conditions contributed to bring out an unprecedented Easter gathering on Easter Sunday, both on the thoroughfares as well as in the various churches. The fact that it was the second Easter since the country entered the war, together with the serious nature of the conflict during the past week, added a deeper note of gravity to the services. Churches of all denominations were filled to capacity and the theme of the Resurrection was coupled with call of loyalty and the various phases of duty incumbent upon all citizens in the national emergency. The display of Easter millinery seemed more subdued than in former years, while the hymns and anthems breathed a more martial spirit. The services all conformed to the new daylight saving schedules, and most worshippers adjusted themselves to the movement without losing step. All in all, it might be termed a perfect Easter. ST. MARK'S M. E. CHURCH. Special Master services were held morning and evening; not only was the seating capacity used to its extent, but standing room was also required. W. Brooks preached a powerful sermon, T Peter, j; theme, The New Life." Dr. Brooks dwelt extensively upon the resurrection in its various phases and emphatically asserted that the resurrection marked not only the birth of the church, but of all mankind. He further, vouchsafed the belief that no heart prayer will over go unanswered by the Saviour. In the evening Haydn's Creation was beautifully rendered by the choir. The church was artificially decorated for the occasion by the Floral Circle. During the day seven persons joined the church. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH. The whole church put forth a special effort for Easter, beginning with the praying band. All clocks were advanced one hour, so the people were out early. Supt. Hunter and officers had out a large school, but no lesson was taught. Mrs. E. F. Davis, who had charge of the Easter exercises, and the participants entertained their hearers highly. The collection was given to Mrs. Davis and little Miss Besale Quinchettie, who played the music. The president of the B. Y. P. U., Sister E. H. Johnson, had charge of the topic and program, which was inpiring and interesting. The Rev. W. W. Brown, the pastor, ascended the rostrum at 11 a.m. with renewed vigor and preached from the theme, "Death and Grave Disarmed," found in I Cor. xv1, 55-67. At three the pastor spoke to men from Is. iv. 2. About 600 men and 500 women were present. The pastor also spoke in the evening from Jo. v. 25. Dr. Henderson of New Jersey wore hipped with us. Donation to sick man's carefair $30.95. Collection for the day was $60.05; the pastor's Easter offering $490.74. RUSH MEMORIAL CHURCH. At Rush Memorial Church over department roses to the occasion and $233.00 was raised as the result of the day's collection. Eight persons joined the church. The pastor, Dr. Crooke, delivered two excellent hormons. Special Easter music was arranged by Prof. H. Gladstone Marshall. It took the combined efforts of the trustees, ushers and stewards to hold in check (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) Albany, N. Y.—Only the signature of Governor Whitman is now required for the 'amended Levy Bill to become a law, a bill which contains the broadest legislation extending civil rights to Negroes ever enacted in the United States. Monday the bill passed in the Senate, having been sponsored in the Upper House by Senator Albert Ottinger, of the Columbus Hill District, New York. The measure passed the Assembly several days ago, having been introduced by Assemblyman E. A. Johnson, New York, first colored legislator. This measure gives to Negroes the privilege of attending all public places of amusement or accommodation—theatres, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and so on. Assemblyman Johnson, in commenting upon the bill said that one of its main functions was to so amend the Levy bill of last year, as to meet with the opinion rendered by the Court of Appeals when it cited-certain provisions of the Levy bill as unconstitutional. The new legislation, which is designated as "amending the civil rights law in relation to equal rights in places of public accommodation, amusement resorts, refreshments and education, and providing penalty thereof; clearly defines a place of public accommodation, resort or amusement. EASTER PARADE AT ATLANTIC CITY (Special to THE NEW YORK ART) Philadelphia, Pa.—Five hundred colored persons from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston took part in the Easter pageant at Atlantic City Sunday, all of the women were made up of three gentlemen and two servative in cut and coloring. The usual idea of one woman trying to outdo another no longer is noticeable. Comfort is the salient feature of the new order of things. The women folks also carried new Easter bags, built of huge clusters of roses and violets topped with colorful satin. They tell me that the Easter bags these days are quite as important as the Easter bonnet and oftimes more costly. RACES CO-OPERATE IN WEST, VIRGINIA (Special to THE NEW YORK AON.) CHARLESTON, W. VA.—At a recent meeting of the Executive State Council or Defense thirty colored men and women were appointed as an Auxiliary Advisory Council of Defense. J. C. Gilmer, former State, Librarian, was named secretary and directing head with an office in the state capitol here. Another appointment of more than usual interest was that of Hugh Bess, a colored man, as baggage master of the union station. Forty passenger trains arrive at agd depart from this station daily. COLORED SOLDIERS WIN HONORS IN TEXAS (Special to THE NEW YORK AQUA) CAMP STANLEY, TEX.-The colored members of the officer's training school continue to attract favorable attention. Recently on the target range they make scores far above the average. Sergt. J. L. Stevent averaged 96 per cent. out of 100 at all ranges from one hundred yards to six hundred. This gave him second place in camp average and first in his company. Sergeant Cooley was close behind him. The platoon of colored soldiers has won first place in so many contests that when the question is asked—"Who won?" the answer is: "The Fourth Platoon, as usual." At Camp Stanley the white and colored soldiers work together and use the same public buildings, especially the Y. M. C. A., despite the fact that the training school is in Texas under the supervision of the Southern Department. RED CROSS AUXILIARY OF THE LEXINGTON AVENUE BRANCH OF THE Y. W. C. A., BROOKLYN BAPTISTS ARE TO REUNITE Basis for Unification Adopted by Joint Commission at Recent Conference Both Conventions are to Meet This Year in the Same.City on Same.Date in Separate Conventions for Final and Complete Ratification. NASHVILLE, TENN. — Baptists throughout the country are elated over the reunion of the two national bodies growing out of the peace conference recently held here. The joint commission appointed by the RED CROSS AUXILIARY OF T Southern Baptist Convention, representing the National Baptist Convention (Unincorporated), unanimously agreed upon the following basis for unification: 1. That the charter of the National Baptist Convention (incorporated) be surrendered and annulled. 2. That the lawsuit now pending against the National Baptist Publishing Board be dismissed as soon as these agreements are approved by the two National Baptist Conventions, with the understanding that the right of denomination ownership and control of all institutions and boards is hereby recognized and that said ownership and control in each individual case shall be determined and established at the earliest time possible after consolidation by such methods as may be necessary. 3. That the Executive Boards of the two National Baptist Conventions be requested to approve these articles within the next two months and provide that the two conventions meet this year in the same city, in separate conventions, on the same day, for the final and complete ratification of this agreement; that said ratification in the coming session of each convention shall take precedence over all other matters after the usual opening preliminaries. 4. That immediately after the ratification as set forth above, this joint commission shall name a chairman and other officers of said united convention who shall preside over the joint session for consolidation. 5. That the United Convention appoint a committee to confer with a committee of the Southern Baptist Convention about the differences concerning the location of the National Baptist Theological Seminary. 6. That the Southern Baptist Convention appoint a permanent advisory committee of mine, with which the Executive Committee, or any other committee or board of the said United Convention may at any time confer. A committee of three was appointed, one from each commission, to present the findings of this meeting to the officers of each of the National Baptist conventions and to their Executive boards. The committee consists of O. L. Hailey, T. O. Fuller, and J. B. Gaines, A. U. Boone served as chairman of the conference and O. L. Hailey secretary. There were present from the Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, O. L. Hailey, secretary; A. J. Barton, Ben Cox, A. U. Boone, Rufus (Continued on page two) Interesting Happenings to be Held at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, Sunday Afternoon—Many Colored Girls from the South Have Loved to Brooklyn. (Special to New York Ask.) Members of the Lexington Avenue Branch of the Y. W. C. A., Brooklyn, are taking an active interest in the campaign which opens next week when the Young Women's Christian Association of THE LEXINGTON AVENUE BRANCH OR Brooklyn will seek to raise $100,000. Of this amount the largest item on the budget, $25,000, goes to the rapidly-growing group of colored women, the Lexington Avenue Branch having outgrown its present quarters to such an extent that a large new building has been made necessary. The building, a spacious home in Ashland place, already has been secured and the $25,000 desired will be used in remodeling and equipping it as a Y. W. C. A. center and boarding home for its workers. The house now occupied, at 112 Lexington avenue, is inadequate to take care of the seven hundred and more members who come to it for religious inspiration, for social and employment purposes, for Red Cross work, and to seek comfortable living accommodations at a rate within their means. In fact, scarcely more than one hundred girls can crowd into the narrow parlor, and not more than half that number can see a speaker or singer, when these are entertained. An annex in the rear of the house accommodates a few wage-earning women and there are a very few sleeping rooms in the house. For months the members have looked forward eagerly for the new home, but they have had to wait until funds were forthcoming to furnish it and remodel it for its special purpose. "There has been a great influx of colored girls from the South since the United States entered the war," said Miss Frances L. Chase, secretary of the Branch. "Brooklyn is thronged with these young women, looking for proper housing, recreation, and employment. At present there are practically no wholesome activities open to them. There is not a gymnasium, a swimming pool, no suitable place for social gatherings open to them. The Association is planning to open a recreation center as soon as possible, and that will be another help; but we sorely need the money with which to make the Ashland place house ready for our occupancy in the shortest possible time." The campaign will open with a great mass meeting at the Academy of Music next Sunday afternoon, April 7, at 3:30. Miss Margaret Slattery, famous for her appeals to girls, and Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, will give addresses. Singing of patriotic songs will be led by Harry Barnhart, Camp Upton's choral leader. A box at this mass meeting will be occupied by special guests of the Lexington Avenue Branch, Dr. V. Morton Jones being the hostess. The guests will be Dr. W. E. K. DuBois, Jas. H. Hubert, Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Moore, Mrs. Hannah Taylor and Mr. R. M. Meroney. The Lexington Avenue Branch is rep- SEGREGATION AT HOG ISLAND IS A BIG SLAP AT DEMOCRACY; FOREIGNERS GREATLY MYSTIFI VIRGINIA FARMERS ADD IN WAR NEEDS (Special to TN New York AOK.) HAMPTON, VA.—The call to the Virginia Negro farmers by the U. S. Government for an increased production and saving of food and feed to aid in supplying war needs was supervised by seventeen local farm-demonstration agents so loyalty that more food and feed has THE Y. W. C. A., BROOKLYN been produced and saved in the past season than ever before, notwithstanding the fact that farm labor was short. The prolonged cold weather and excessive rain, followed by drought, also damaged crops generally, especially corn, cotton, and peanuts. According to the U. S. Census of 1910 the seventeen counties worked by the local farm-demonstration agents contained 14,705 Negro farmers and the thirteen counties assisted by the district agent, contained 10,114, making a total of 24,819 Negro farmers in the thirty counties thus worked and assisted. It is safe to estimate that 12,000 of these Negro farmers were influenced to practise better farming; greater economy on the farm, and a higher standard of living. Work was conducted with all classes of farmers. The local agents practise on their farms and in their lives what they teach the farmers. These county workers have been faithful in the discharge of their duties, giving, when necessary, much of their personal time to official service that the work should go forward as promptly as possible. Walter G. Young, local agent of Caroline County, has been appointed emergency district agent to meet the increase in work which must be supervised in 1918. A list of the colored agents of Virginia follows: R. L. Wynn, Amelia; H. C. Green, Brunswick; W. G. Young, Caroline; R. E. F. Washington, Charles City; J. F. Wilson, Charlotte; A. W. Pegram, Dinwiddie; R. D. Lemon, Gloucester; R. F. Jones, Greensville, C. H. Jordan, Isle of Wight; C. C. H. Thompson, Lunenburg; N D. Morse, Mecklenburg; R. H. Cox, Montgomery; G. E. Oliver, Nottoway; J. W. Lancaster, Prince Edward; J. D. Adkins, Prince George; W. H. George, Surry; M. D. Jones, Sussex. The colored farmers of the following Virginia counties are also receiving some assistance through the States Relations Service which in Virginia is directed by the Virginia polytechnic institute at Blackburg: Accomac, Albermarle, Aphmattox, Buckingham, Cumberland, Goochland, Hanover, Louisa, Nansemond, Northampton, Powhatan, Spittampton, Spotsylvania. Philadelphia, Pa.—Several thousand foreigners, employed by the American International Shipbuilding Corporation at Hog Island, are rapidly learning what democracy means in this country—from a Southern viewpoint. They are helping make this world safe and democracy by working in the mammoth shipyards which are under Governmental supervision. They find that no objection is raised to white and colored men working side by side, but what mystifies them is the segregation policy now in force in the huge mess hall where the color of one's skin is the determining factor as to where they should eat. Before coming to Hog Island these foreigners were under the impression that the earning of daily bread was the most vital question, but now they find that more stress is placed on the eating of it. Naturally, they are still at loss to understand why they cannot sit anywhere they want in the mess hall as they did until a few weeks ago, and they, fail to grasp the southern viewpoint that a grave and unpardonable offense has been committed when men of different shades of complexion put down their tools and sit side by side to partake of daily sustenance. POLICE OFFICER SCROG GINS NOW IN UNIFORM Police Officer Delancy N. Scrog, the fifth Negro to be appointed by police force in Manhattan, is now Usually, when the foreigner becomes impregnated with the poisonous germs of prejudice with which he permits himself to be inoculated in order to show that he is quickly taking on American ways, he is apt to be more radical than a Southerner. But in his opinion, he really wants to do the proper thing, while the average Southerner, deep down in his heart, knows good and well when he is mistreating his fellow colored-American. Those who a few weeks ago inaugurated a new seating arrangement in the mess hall at Hog Island fail to see that by making distinctions on account of color they are destroying the morale of the big plant and injuring the efficiency of the men, it is reported. They do not seem to realize that this Dixieland idea of the separation of races does not tend to advance the cause of democracy in these critical times. Protest Against New Arrangement. There are nearly 2,500 colored workmen in the American International Shipbuilding Corporation plant and it would be coloring facts to state that they are satisfied with the new segregation rules, which have hurt their pride and humiliated them greatly. They have difficulty making former white acquainances understand why such a difference is made in the mess hall. Already harmful effects have resulted from this vicious practice of drawing the color line at Hog Island: J. W. Bye, 2001 Turner street and Joseph Allen, 735 S. Eleventh street, both of this city, attribute their recent disagreeable experience while in quest of work to the un-American methods now practiced. J. W. Bye is, a skilled mechanic and a college graduate. His relatives forge in the Civil and Spanish-American wars and he is a real American in every particular. And yet several days ago upon applying for work as a skilled mechanic he was told that only colored laborers were being employed, that although mechanics were wanted they had to possess one requisite—a white skin. James Allen, a carpenter, applied for a position at Hog Island and it was noticed that he did not have an adz. He was told to get one and report next day, which he did, paying $3 for the implementation. Then he was given quite a shock by being told that no colored carpenters were desired. The peculiar brand of color prejudice that exists in America with its many inconsistencies is apparent at Hog Island. You will find a colored foreman over a group of white laborers and the spectacle of colored and white working together may be seen at any time. But there is one "unpardonable sin" the meeting of white man and black man in the mess hall on the same terms of equality to break bread.

For six months after his appointment Officer Scroggings did detective duty under Inspector Dan Costigan. Officer Scroggins, who was appointed a member of the police force August 15, 1917, is the youngest of a family of fourteen children and was born in The Plains, Va., June 20, 1890. For a time he attended the public schools in that State. Fourteen years ago he came to New York and secured employment as a Pullman porter on the New York Central. He took examination to become a policeman in 1916. Officer Scroggins is single and resides at 341 Grand avenue, Brooklyn. He is the main support of an elderly brother. ST. BENEDICT RAISES $4,097.39 IN WAR DRIVE The Church of St. Benedict the Moor was taxed $4,000 for the New York Catholic War Fund, the total of which was to be $250,000. The people went to work with such good will that when the drive was finished the entire $4,000 was in hand in cash, and promises were on file which insured a few hundred dollars more. One pleasant memory of the work will be the extreme kindness and really unexpected generosity which the collectors meet with on every side and especially from those who were not of the Catholic faith. On Sunday, April 7, there is going to be double celebration in St. Benedict's Hall, first for the success of the drive and secondly for the blessing and the raising of a service flag. About thirty of the young men are with the troops in France, members of the Fifteenth Infantry, one has already paid the supreme debt of patriotism, Howard Streadrick, who died in January. The vesper service that evening will be over about eight thirty and the congregation will adjourn to the Hall. There will be a program made up of band music, singing of patriotic songs and speeches by Councillor James D. Carr, Dr. York Russell and others, Rt. Rev. Mgr. John E. Burke will bless the flag. Twelve members of the 387th band ment from Camp Upton are coming to the celebration. They will give an hibition drill and Walter Williams regimental tenor, will sing the Liberty anthem.

"| GERMAN MONEY.” “Another, revival of the report that German money is being used to ‘siuistigate Negroes to evade-the draf “in‘the South is spread through a news dispatch, this time from Jack son, Miss. The basis for this lates grootback ‘is sated to be a repor Sfiled at the. Adjutant General’ office by the State inspector of loca exemption boards, =. = A ridiculous feature of the report yi ithat the preacher of a Negro ‘cchurch at Lexington, Miss., charged “mons and advising resistance to the draft, “is said to have erected a 2$25,000 home lately.” This is lay- ing it on too thick. -It requires too Agreat an effort of the imagination Sto, credit “an obscure Negro “preacher” with investing or being {allowed to invest supposed German Smoney in this manner“in the -Black ; Belt of Mississippi. The truth of the matter is that ithe exemption boards in many parts ‘of, the South are drafing Negroes ‘regardless of age or disability, so ‘that they may fill the required quota iknd ‘exempt as many whites as pos- "pible.” ‘These reports of evading the ‘dtaft’~are probably devised to ‘Gumouflage the real facts of the sit- @ation; which upon an honest inves- itigation would be found to be the ‘fererse of those stated. “cf there is any German money in ‘the’ transaction, it is not likely to ‘have got any further than to the ‘uthors of these reports. The (Negroes of the South proved their ‘Woyalty before the draft act went into effect by their hearty response to the call for volunteers. The.laxg- éit, measure of loyalty shown ‘tS ‘South was from them, though in miost cases it was rejected, at the time. | “‘3iIt might be well for the United States Secret Service to investigate these reports, including the authors, of.them and the exemption boards ‘as well. : es. TRADES FOR THE so ORPHANS. ugrAccording to a recent statement ‘astied by.the president of the How- Hess te the managers’ of ‘that-institution are planning to es- ‘tablish an agricultural and trades échool at Kings Park, Long Island. ‘To ‘quote the language of the state- ‘ment, “In planning “for the future ithe managers thought thal. the great ‘peed ofthe colored children of New ork was a proper agricultural and ‘trade .school and that they should Jay’ their ‘plans,to provide stich a amtich-tieeded institution.” sgjdhis..conception, of “the. future ‘workiof the iristitution might prove correct, "MOS Mealy, to Eire primary pilrpose; namely, “to care for-helpless and destitute orphans and train them to become self-sup- porting men’and women. If the in- tent is to ¢quip them with trades, so that they may be better able to earn’ their own living when dis- charged from the. shelter afforded their infancy, well and good. It would de decidedly better than pirn- ing them out to the doubtful. care of indifferent employers untrained and capable of only drudge work Ifthe proposed equipment of these children, with trades will save them from the fate of being turned loose as unskilled drudges, it would be a,laudable undertaking. .:But we trust that the institution will not be diverted, from its original purpose of affording a refuge for that mos helpless class of the community, the orphaned children, Give'them trades, fit them to earr a living in some capacity of produc tive toil, and the ‘earnest co-opera- tion of all friends of the institutior will be assured, The managers have a grave responsibility to mee in the present emergency, and the measures that they adopt to meet it will undoubtedly determine uh future of the institution, . future of the insiituuion, ~ CONCERNING LYNCH LAW. There are various signs that, in- dicate sentiment is forming in the South against the enormity’ of lynch law as an accepted practice of the community. _In Georgia, Governor Dorsey offered a reward of $500 for the lattest’and conviction of any mem- ber of the mob that took a Negro out of Taliaferro County jail re- cently and lynched him. He also ordered the attorney-general~ to bring proceedings against the sher- iff of the county: The white .citizens, of Nashville, ‘in the infamous State of Tennessee, crguceed lew and order league to discourage burnings, hanging’ and beatings of Negroes. Several whité ~ministers--have . denounced such crimes from their palpits. A: white’ lawyer of Columbia, S. C., proposed disfranchisement as a penalty for lynching, instead of death, which is never inflicted, as the law at present provides. He suggests that the oath of office and in elections be so amerided that the officeholder and the voter.be re- quired to swear that he has never taken part ina lynching:~This’plan has the support of the Charleston News and Courier. In Texas the Houston Daily Post is moved to exclaim: “What good does it do us to assert our lofty ideals of right and justice, if in practice we violate and trample them under foot?” This expression was provoked by the killing of three. black men merely because they were related to a dead Negro who had, killed a white man, The Post concludes its editorial : ’ There will come a solution of the lynching problem soine day, and it is going to be. a solution not much to the liking of those who feel at liberty when so disposed to put to death human beings they do. not happen to like tiecause of their race, color or previous condition of servi- tude. Uniess such a solution does come surely we shall he able to claim very * little for our civilization, and very many people in this country are very much concerned for the safety and progresssof civilization. ‘As for the triple lynching which has evoked this comment, several newspapers in Texas and Louisiana will condemn it and that will be the end. The officers of that State con- sider a lynching episode at an end when the black victims are buried: All of these.incidents and expres- sions go to show that the South is seriously concerned over the grow- ing evil of lynch law, which it has permitted to run wild. Some ob- ervers go so far as to see “a re- ction against lynching in the South.” We would like to believe: t, but there is more evidence need- d to confirm this view of it, However, it is something gained o have the thinking part of the South actually concerned -over the fagrant violation of law and order ww prevailing, : The Rock Hill (S.C.)

Mooney was convicted'in connection with a bomb éxplosion in San\Francisco in a preparedness day parade, July 22, 1916, which-caused the death of ten ‘persons and injured forty others, aid he ‘is now under sen- tence of death. om > oh ; eae : This is not the first step which the President has taken in Moon- ey’s behalf; in fact, there has, been considerable effort on the part of Federal agencies to have the conviction of Mooney reversed and to get for him a new trial. Several months ago President Wilson’ sent his labor commission west and it was specially charged to look into the Mooney, case and make a report. The commission reported that the case had become so involved in the bitternéés of the fight be- tween labor and capital in San Francisco there ought to’ be a new trial. In its report the commission said: en ee " “The feeling of disquietude arouséd by the case must be quieted, for,if unchecked it impairs the faith that our democracy protects the lowliest and even the unworthy against false’accusation$.”” The President's action is very unusual and has few precedents in American judicial history. It is likely that he could come in for a good deal of criticism for bringing executive pressure on a state couft to.make it modify or change a decision if the country. was not passing throuigh such a serious phase of the war: We do not criticise the President's action. Whether his action is unusual or not, or whether the precedents for it are many or few, if he has evidence that leads him to feel that in the carrying out, of this death sentence a great wrong will be done Mooney as an individual’and the labor clement asa class and that the “faith that our democracy protects the lowliest”. will be impaired, we believe his-action is justified. But if President Wilson can deem it his duty on the grounds stated above to interfere in the regular processes of a state court in behalf of aft individual who has been duly tried by that court, we ask in the name of everything that is democratic, humane and righteous why he shduld not interfere in those states which are lynching and burning American citizens without even a semblance of legal trial? Why has he’ not or why dg he-fot send a télegram to ‘the (Governor of Tennessee, in which vtate’ three American citizens have been burned alive in the past nine months, and say—this would be his characteristic manner of framing such a message: “May. J ‘net-re- Jquest that you exert all the powers of your office to sce that the per- sons -who were guilty of burning Jim MclIIhron at Estill Springs on February 12, 1918, be brought to justice, and that you take steps to prevent the recurrence of such crimes." : It may be that the feeling of disquietude aroused by the Mooney case, “if unchecked will impair te faith that our democracy protects the lowliest,” but lynchings in which men are burned at the stake and for which nobody is punished have already done this. It is time that the President himself take a hand in restoring the faith that our democracy protects the lowliest. - - ‘THE BRIDGE OF SHIPS TO FRANCE. \ We have just found opportunity to fray attention to a remark- able article that was published in Collier's in the issug of March 16. It was an illustrated article about the great shipbuilding plant at Newport News, Virginia, which was founded’ by the late Collis P. [Huntingfon. ° * eG . It appears that -Mr. Huntington had two faudable aims in view when he established. this plant on the james. One of'these aims is expressed in the inscription on his monument in the center of the yard. Thé inscription reads as follows: ~ He Se “We shall build good ships here, at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always good ships.” If-any man ever expressed a higher ideal of business than the one expressed in those words, we have yet to hear of ‘him, The other aim that Mr. Huntington had in mind is also related in the article in Collier's. His friendg and advisers argued against the enterprise; they told lim it could not”be made to pay. Mr. Huntington pointed to the tall tower of Hampton Institute which stands just a few miles distant and said: at ; _ “T-am going to try and give the black man the same industrial opportunity that Hampton has given him educationally.” - For some years the building of ships has not been a particularly popular or profitable business, but to-day the Newport. News ship- yard employs 7,800 men and boys, and fully half of them are colored. White and black men work in the same yard, on the same job and on the same piece of work, Many of the most skilled workmen in the yard are Negroes and there are expert riveters among them carning as high as $90 a week. = “ This gigantic industry is under the management of a man named may: catch them napping and sym: pathy with” theié plight will be scant. While not advising the planting of the entire crop in {dod- stulfs, -the farmier is- cautioned against “the overproduction of cot- ton, so that he is forced to run to town to buy catables that could have been raised at home. The sen- sible farmer should not need to buy a pound of bacon or Jard, a gallon of syrup or a peck of meal—nor, in many sections, flour or potatoes. According’ to this showing the farmer can be the most independent member of tle community. . The city authorities of Baltimore met a strike, threat-by city labor with the counter threat that they would employ Negroes to fill” the positions of the strikers, Their failure to do this and: subsequently adyaricing the. pay of the strikers moves the Daily Herald to itiquire why’ it is that Negroes hold neither official "position - nor the lowest menial position in the city of Balti- more, With 100,000 out of 600,000 population, who pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes, the Herald insists that it is time for the Negro taxpayers to wake up and present their claim for recognition. On the facts presented it should not be hard for the Herald to carry its case to a stccessfiil conclusion, ~ The Helena (Ark.) Jnter-State Reporter indulges in some refec- tions on the war and winds up with the sage pronouncement that, “the: nation thatrrelies on God will win.” This is a kind of delphic utterance that can be construed most any way, as all the nations, except Turkey, perhaps, are protesting their reli- ance on the Supreme Being.

What opportunity would -the unions give him? Can one of our good riveters go north and join the union? He canfiot. And otherwise he cannot drive a single rivet.” a “ . Even our best’ friends in the North must admit that there is more truth than-there ought to be in Mr. Ferguson’s statement. The North has accorded the colored man his manhood and citizenship rights, but in the’standard trades and industries it has denied him the opportunity to earn his bread and live in enjoyment ‘of the rights which it accorded, ‘In this the North has beer almost as cruel to the Negro as the South, where he is denied his rights but ts given almost Unlimited opportunity to earn his bread. The North has so long persisted in shutting the Negré out from all opportunity to carn standard ‘wages that most' Northerners ate ignorant of the fact that there are any such animals as Negro arti- sans, mechanics and skilled workmen. For years the North has been saying that the only hope for the Negro in‘the South was that he be tuught to work; entirely ignoring the fact that the bulk of all the work requiring muscle and manual skill that-has -bcen-done in the South for a century or more"has been done by the Negro. A few seasons ago there was a comedian telling.a story on the yaudeville stage in which he said that he was the youngest of a family of seven- teen children. He said that hig mother used to feed them at three tables ranged according to ages, from the eldest down. He added that,he was twelve years old before he knew that a chicken had any- thing but a neck. I was born jn the South, and I can say that.I was twelve years old before I knew there was any such thing as a white carpenter or bricklayer or plasterer. _ Conditions have forced a change and the North is now beginning to learn that there is such a thing-as skilled Negro labor. : s There is an. added importance given just now to the fact that the Negio is a’skilled worker, an importance that, goes beyond the economic and industrial advancement’ which is coming to him at present. As this article in Collier's shows, Fie is not only using his strength and bravery and loyalty in the trenches and at the front to help win this great struggle in which the nation is engaged, but he is using his skill and his brain in the other essential tasks at, home which must be done if the war is to be won. He js helping to build 5 bridge of ships to France, without which we are almost power- less. ‘ . ° * Will the country place this upon’ its memorandum book? ROOSEVELT’S SPEECH. the speech made last week in Maine by Colonel Roosevelt was a brave and statesfhanlike utterarice.= It ‘was not merely-criticism it wag constructive. It wastéot at all narrow and partisan, it was broad and national. It was a speech that the country needed, and it was a speech which no other man except Mr. Roosevelt could have made. . There are two reasons why no other man except Colonel Roose- velt could have made the speech. . First, there is no other man in the country with just the sort of courage that was necessary; second, there is no other man in the country with exactly the right to say the things that were said. Colonel Roosevelt has that right because he stands as the one prophet in the country who two years before it happened told exactly what was going to happen. On every stréet Corner We can meet men who will tell you after a thing has happened that they knew it was going to happen, or who will dig up some obscure and dubious evidence that they foretold the happening; such prophets are too common to have any significance. But Colonel Roosevelt told from the howisetops, so that the whole nation. could hear, just what was going to take place; and in the language of the Scripture, it came to Pass; so’he is the one man in the country who has the full right to say, “I told you so.” No one is justified in feeling impatient or irritated when he says: . . | Our failure has been due in part to grave incompetence since Ger- many forced us into war. But primarily it is due to our utter folly in failing to prepare during the preceding two and a half years, when the warning was written across-the whole horizon'in letters of blood and of fire. : e NS For the same reason, the country is in duty bound to listen to him when he tells what should now be done. Sineé he had the fore- sight to tell what was going to happen, he should be given the credit for having the foresight to know what should now be done. A country blessed with such a prophet should not only listen. to his words, but should heed them. The pages of sacred history are filled with the'fates of thase who neglected the warnings and refused the counsel of their true prophets. ' 4 Every American who loves his country should read Roosevelt's great speech. .

C., has just issued an interesting pamphlet on "Milk as a Food for Children," which points out that if children do not like its cereal with milk to serve it dishes cooked in milk instead of water. More at a few recipes: RICE PUDDING. One cup milk, one, and one-third tablespoons rice, one and one-half tablespoons 'honey of corn syrup, one-eighth teaspoon salt, spice of ground nutmeg or citrus juice, or a lemon. Wash the juice thoroughly, mix the ingredients and take three hours or more in a very slow oven, stirring occasionally at first. INDIAN PUDDING. Three tablespoons cornmeal, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/3 tablespoon molasses. Heat the milk. Sift in the cornmeal as in making mush. Add salt and molasses. Turn into oiled baking cup, put cup in a pan of water and bake very long about 8 hours. Serve with crushed fruit. This boiled custard may be served in place of cream on desserts when cream is scarce: Two cups milk, three egg yolks, 1/4 cup honey or syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, flavoring. Heat the milk in a double boiler. Thoroughly mix the egg and cream and pour it into the double boiler and heat it until it thickens, stirring constantly. Cool and flavor. If the custard curdles, remove it from the fire and beat it with a Dover egg beater. Scarcely a child exists who does not like junket. Floating island. Tupelo custard. Cream. Say not why ice cream. Yet all of these are successful ways of using the necessary milk. JUNKET. - One cup milk 1/4 cup honey or syrup, - 1/8 junket tablet, one sixteenth teaspoon salt, few grains of nutmeg or cinnamon. Warm the milk to about the temperature of the body, crush the tablet, and add it with the other ingredients to the milk. Pour into dishes and place in a warm (not hot) place to harden. Cool before serving. Serve with cream or crushed fruit. FLOATING ISLAND. Make a regular boiled custard but use the whites to serve with it in the following manner: Beat whites until stiff, sweeten them a little and cool them in a covered dish over water which is hot, but not boiling, or cook, on top of the hot milk which is to be used in making custard. Lift them out carefully with spoon and place on top of the custard. Decorate with small bits of jelly. TAPIOCA CUSTARD. One-eight cup pearl tiapoca, 1 cup milk, 1 egg yolk, $\frac{1}{4}$ cup honey or corn syrup, speck of salt, flavoring. Soak the tiapoca in water for an hour or two, drain it and cook in the milk until it is marbled. Proceed as for boiled custard. BAKED CUSTARD. One egg, 1 cup milk, few grains nutmeg, two teaspoons honey or corn syrup, few garnish salt. Beat the egg slightly in a pan, cover with water, in a moderate oven. FRENCH ICE CREAM. One-half cup milk and one-half cup cream or one whole milk, one-quarter cup honey or corn syrup, one egg. Make a custard of all ingredients (ex- example of one used). When it is cool, flavor, add the cream, if cream is used, and freeze. Many of these will please a fastidious child as will also the Milk Toast a la Golden Rod, which is a little trouble but well worth it. MILK TOAST A LA GOLDEN ROD. Make a milk or creamed toast and over it sprinkle the grated yoke only of a hard boiled egg. NEGRO ARTISTS IN SERIES OF RECITALS Under the exclusive management of Mrs. Darya Tapley, a series of educational lectures and recitals are being given at Rush Memorial Church in 185th street, which are proving of inimitable benefit and pleasure to the music loving people of Greater New York. It was a big undertaking to bring to New York the best Negro artists of the country reliving upon the uncertain support of a public which has heretofore to cool to experiments of like nature, to fortune, unless there was a full bill, dancing after, the prospects of a black audience turning out were exceedingly great. Mrs. Tapley has clearly demonstrated the Negroes do approach classical music, and they are willing to encourage and support them as artists, even if dancing is left off the program. Mrs. Eleanor Cole-Talbert of Decton, and Mr. Edwin Coates, a graduate of the Institute of Musical Art of the New York City were the participants at the first recital. Mrs. Talbert is a coloratura soprano with a voice of rare sweetness. She is a graduate of the Chicago Conservatory and won the diamond medal sprite of some who said a Nexra company would get it.

I., now of New York. M. Hayes has a lyric voice of great depth and sweetness, and is well called the "tenor of the race." He is a pupil of Arthur Hubbard of Boston, a teacher of international reputation. Mr. Hayes' "Celeste Aida," by Verdi, was rendered in Italian, and was sung with the interpretative ability of a true artist. He was repeatedly enriched after each number of performances, and the audiences has shown the keenest appreciation of the work of the various performers. Mr. Jeter showed his mastery of the cello in his interpretation and sustained work in "Notturno" Chopin Op. No. 2, "Papillon," by Popper, "Mazurk," Scharwenke, and Tarantelle," by Popper. Mr. Jeter was a pupil of Leo Schulz and Alwin Schroeder, and is regarded as the ranking cellist of the race. On April 18? Dr. W. E. B. Dubois is the lecturer, with Miss Lydia Mason, "the race's youngest pianist," and Miss Cleona Collins, soprano, as the other performer.

(BY SADIE V. PERLMAN). WITH few exceptions every man works. He has some occupation which takes up the greater part of the day and normally leaves him free to spend his evenings and occasional half days as he pleases. He lives, ordinarily, in his own immediate family group; he has his special friends of both sexes and social activities, strands of which float through and around his working area. The community in which he lives encourages and gratifies individual desires either for amusement, reading or sports; and, too, color all the hours of his existence. When a country needs her men to be for her; she picks them out of her accustomed environment, gathers in a spot adaptable for schooling in large numbers to the latest ways of modern warfare, concentrates all her light on training them to be fighters, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. RAYMOND R. FORDICK and usually ignores the activities and associations of home. In fact, until the United States entered the present war this had uniformly been the case. But shortly before this conflict we had occasion to concentrate numbers of our men in camps on the Mexican border. Our Government began then to realize that an exacting military routine unreliable by opportunities for social and mental diversion and improvement left the lives of the men monotonous and depressing, forcing them in their hours of leisure to seek pleasure in the only kind to which there was access—the liquor and vice that heretofore sought their prey in the army camp. During the summer of 1916 the War Department sent Raymond B. Fosdick to the border to make a study and report exactly the social conditions obtaining in and around the camps. Mr. Fosdick says: "I remember standing in the streets of Columbus shortly after Will had devastated that village, and unshaking the soldiers as they came across the railroad tracks. Five thousand of our men were in camp there. There was absolutely nothing in the town offered to the soldiers in the way of clean entertainment. There were no moving picture shows; no athletic equipment for their use; no library facilities of any kind; no homes to which they could go; no place. where they could even write letters—absolutely nothing to compete with a few dirty saloons and a red light district. It was largely due to Mr. Fosdick's reports that when it became necessary to assemble our men in training camps, the President and Secretary of War determined to take immediate steps not only to save the health of the men who would need every ounce of their strength against the enemy, by shutting fast every door to vice but by arranging a full program of physical, mental and social activity which would vigorously combat any tendency to degenerate. Besides making the lives of the boys in camp much more enjoyable, such a program has its decided military value in keeping the men in good humor and high spirit — a contented, and, therefore, as military men assert, a fighting force. A commission to take charge of camp activities, with Mr. Fosdick as chairman, was appointed by Secretary Baker for the War Department; and shortly afterwards Mr. Daniels appointed a similar commission for the navy, also naming Mr. Fosdick as chairman. The task given to these Commissions was to see that the manifold interests of civil life which balance and counteract the wear of the working day, be introduced into camp to supplement what is often a much more exacting working day; and also to see that communities near training centers to which the soldiers enter organized to offer wholesome entertainment and hospitality to the men in uniform. Besides Mr. Fosdick, the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities consist of Lee F. Hanmer of New York, in charge of music; Thomas J. Howells of Pittsburgh; Joseph Lee of Boston, president of Recreation Association of American, in charge of community work; Malcolm L. McBride of Cleveland, in charge of theatres; Dr. John R. Mott of New York; Charles P. Neill of Washington; Brig. General P. E. Pierce, U. S. A.; Dr. Joseph E. Raycock of Princeton, in charge of athletics, and W. Prentice Sanger of New York, executive secretary of the Commission. For the huge work inside the camp the Commission found a number of organizations ready and able to assist. The Young Men's Christian Association was the first in the field. It erected the now famous "Y" huts or recreation rooms where writing facilities are supplied the men free, and where they read, smoke, chat, and play games at ease. The Knights of Columbus and the Jewish Welfare Board followed shortly with similar activities, and though each of the three organizations is denominational in origin, their work in the camps is entirely free from sectarian distinctions. They welcome every man alike. In fact, the Commission made it a condition of entrance to camp reservation that no organization should limit its activities to a particular constituency, and that its buildings be open at all times to the entire camp. The Young Women's Christian Association is also doing a fine bit of work Their hostess houses provide a really home-like spot where women visitors can meet their soldier friends, and be entertained comfortably in the presence of genial chaperones. Among them are five hostess houses for the use of colored people. Another agency doing a splendid piece of work inside the camps under the supervision of the Commission is the American Library Association. Outside the camps, the recreation work is in the hands of the Recreation Association of America. Besides co-ordinating and directing the activities of these organizations, the Commission has found it necessary to create new machinery to accomplish certain aims. Athletic directors, song leaders, and theatre managers have been sent to the camps; a Law Enforcement Bureau and a Committee on Protective Work for Girls, each sending out representatives to camp vicinities, have been created; and recently the Commission appointed a committee to look out for the living conditions of women employed in military camps. Good, clean, wholesome sport has more spontaneous followers perhaps, than any other activity in normalities. It keeps the body fit, induces a mental quickening which is ready to respond to educational influences, and in an all round way creates a warm, healthy glow which reacts to the cheer and comfort of the athlete. It is natural, no doubt, to think that with drilling and other taxing tasks of the soldier, athletics would be a superfluous commodity in camp. On the contrary, the more the men are inured to the vigorous use of their bodies, the more they long for competitive games and tests of strength. It is a known fact that men relieved from duty in the front line trenches turn instinctively to strenuous games like football to gain the healthy equilibrium necessary to sleep. From experience, too, it has been learned that an instantaneous muscular control is cessation to the success of the fighter. For two military reasons—to develop the fighting instinct and to arm that instinct with control—in addition to its characteristic virtue of supplying endless fun and recreation, the Commission is carrying out a program of athletics unparalleled in history. In one camp 16 baseball, diamonds have been hid out in one great field, and games have been in simultaneous progress on them all; while in another 26 gridrooms with goal posts and bleachers having a seating capacity of 18,000 were in one full. Athletic directors have Prominent Members of Grand Central Baseball Club. 1930 ```markdown ``` Chief James H. Williams, manager of the Grand Central Terminal Baseball Club predicts that he will have a winning team this year and promises to make it most interesting for semi-professional baseball clubs—colored and white. Manager Williams has signed a number of well-known players, including Captain Earle, formerly of the Royal Giants; "Lefty" Harvey, one of the first-string pitchers and P. Webster, better known as "Specks", who will be the team's leading catcher. tucky Home," "Old Black Joe," "Swanee River," and a number of the newer popular songs including "Over There," "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and the "Long, Long Trail." A song book, containing sixty-nine songs, most in favor with the men in uniform, has been published by the Commissions. It is a small affair of a size convenient to fit in the pocket of an O. D. shirt, and is sold to soldiers and sailors at the nominal cost of five cents. The song leaders find that colored troops give a fine account of themselves when it comes to singing, and naturally fall into part work. Kenneth Clark, song leader at Camp Meade, Md., says that his greatest joy is in the work with the colored troops and that they are the best singers in camp. He tells how at one session a quartet arose and sang A Perfect Day" with responses in gospel hymn fashion. Three little colored boys employed on the reservation were present, and thereupon volunteered a performance" of "Over There," which they did in fine style. It was pay day and the men threw coins on the stage to them. The singing ended with boys and men joining in "Over There." Amusements are given a large place on the program of the Commissions. Sixteen Liberty theatres have been constructed recently in the National Army cantonments, and fifteen more are now being erected in the National Guard camps. They are all uniform in structure and equipment, having a seating capacity of 3,000 and a complete stock of accessories. In them drama and comedy successes of the present day, alternated with vaudeville bills taken from the Keith circuit, are presented. Some weeks the theatre is turned over to the entertainments given by the soldiers, for there is a great deal of talent within the camp and the men enjoy being producer and actor. This is being encouraged and a number of eminent actors who have volunteered their services, are coaching in camp. Besides the theatres there are a number of Liberty andrium of the Young "SPECKS" WEBSTER JAMES H. WILLIAMS been assigned to each of the thirty-two National Army and National Guard camps, and to a number of Naval Training Stations. Boxing is being taught in all training centers because of its close relationship to bayonet fighting, and attendance at these classes is compulsory. Some of the most noted boxers in the country have left the ring to assist the Commissions in making efficient fighters, and the same qualification applies to the list of athletes who are serving as athletic directors. Special swimming instructors have also been placed in a number of the naval training stations. As usual, baseball and football claim the greater part of the American's attention. Baseball is being organized on a tremendous scale now in all camps throughout the country. It is estimated that about 50,000 balls will be used up "officially" this year. Nevertheless, a number of other sports have their keen followers. According to the climate, basketball, volley ball, push ball, tennis, soccer, tugs-of-war, wrestling and track athletics enjoy popularity. In the northern camps, snow and ice were turned to good account, and tobogganing, skiing, ice skating and snowball fights in which the trench tactics were used, have been the order of the day. In Mr. Fosdick's opinion, the second most important factor in fitting men to be fighters, outside of the regular military training, is mass singing. Mass singing, like athletics, has a recreational and military value. There is nothing so potent as a song for making men forget their weariness on a long hike, or raising depressed spirits under any conditions. Singing together breeds a comradeship and stimulates a fine spirit of unity without which no army can be successful. To promote mass singing experienced song leaders have been placed in the cantonments and naval stations. They find the men eager to sing, and their choice lies with patriotic songs such as "America," "The Star Spangled Banner," "The Battle Hymn of the Recon THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD THE WORLD'S FINEST HORSE CAPTAIN EARLE "LEFTY" HARVEY Men's Christian Association, Liberty tents of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau and Knights of Columbus halls in both army and navy training centers where movies, concerts, sings, boxing bouts, and miscellaneous entertainments are given nightly. Most paid entertainments in camp cost only from ten to twenty-fice cents, but in the Liberty theatres fifty cents is being charged for the best seats. Smileage books, containing 100 or 500 five-cent coupons, which admit the soldier to any paid entertainment in camp, have been issued by the Commission: Then there is a matter of providing opportunities to read for a million and a half men. Through the American Library Association library buildings have been erected in the National Army and National Guard camps. These are the main centers of distribution and supply branches in the "Y" buildings and in the barracks. Each camp library carries about 15,000 books on its shelves and has chair accommodations for about 300 men. The books are loaned to the men freely, and the circulation averages more in proportion than that of civil communities. While fiction is, of course, popular, a decidedly serious trend is apparent in camp reading. Records show that the larger per cent. of books called for is non-fiction—books on military science, technical works, biography and history. Educational courses too are offered in the camps The foreigner who enters Uncle Sant's army with but small knowledge of his language is given a chance to study elementary English subjects, including writing, spelling and arithmetic. In many of the camps the military authorities have made attendance at these classes compulsory French and French history are in great demand, and it is estimated that 100,000 men are studying French. Then, there are manual trade classes, and various lecture courses. So much for the present activities of the Commission inside the camp. Outside, in each nearby vicinity the War Camp Community Service has been or- LAFAYETTE THEATRE EUGENE ELMORE, Manager SEVENTH AVENUE AND 111 STREET TELEPHONE 1811 MORNINGSTER ELITE AMUSEMENT CORPORATION, Leesons WEEK BEGINNING MONDAY, APRIL 8 QUALITY AMUSEMENT CORPORATION, Robt.

TWO SHOWS DAILY PRICES: Matinee 8:16...10 and 14 Evening 8:16...16 and 18 ganized by a representative of the Recreation of America. The work of these organizations is now well known in every camp neighborhood of América. They started the "Take-a-soldier-home-to-dinner" movement and are promoting all kinds of hospitality for the soldier guests. Entertainments, church socials, dances, and automobile rides are usual features of the weekly programs arranged for the men in uniform by each camp city. The boy who has been sent hundreds of miles away from his home town to a training camp soon finds out that the people of the vicinity are making it a point that he shall not long remain a stranger. In this way the undesirable attractions of a city are greatly counteracted. Recreation work in the communities aids effectively the Law Enforcement Department of the Commissions in its very positive steps to repress vice. A large percentage of immorality in former armies came from lonesomeness and a lack of healthly recreation. Now the government is not merely shutting down and closing up degrading influences, it is offering on every hand, clean, attractive, worth-while interests for the body and mind. Inside the camp there is "something doing". for the soldier in every leisure moment, and when he leaves the camp he comes into contact with a community which is keeping well in mind those words of the President: "The spirit with which our soldiers leave America, and their efficiency on the battle fronts of Europe will be usually affected by the character of the environment surrounding our military training camps." Raymond Blame Fosdick, chairman of both the War and Navy Departments Commissions on Training Camp Activities, is probably the youngest of the chief executives in official Washington today. He was born in Buffalo little more than thirty-four years ago—on June 3, 1883. Mr. Fosdick's early education was obtained in the schools of Buffalo. After receiving the degree of B. A. from Princeton in 1905 and M. A. in 1906, he finished a course at the New York Law School, taking his LL.B. in 1908. The next two years were devoted to the practice of law, particularly corporation law in New York, and from 1910 to 1913, as Commissioner of Accounts, he had charge of investigations of all city departments. The year of 1913 was spent in Europe in a study of police systems and resulted in the publication of a book on this subject. Mr. Fosdick's studies of police administration both in this country and Europe were continued until the War Department sent him as a special agent to study conditions in and around the camps on the Mexican border, in the summer of 1916 It was largely due to Mr. Fosdick's reports of these conditions that the Commissions on Training Camp Activities were created. LINCOLN GIANTS IN DOUBLE HEADER. On Sunday next at Olympic field, 136th street and Fifth avenue, the Lincoln Giants, who make the field their home grounds, will play two of the leading local clubs in a double header. In the opening game at 1.30 p.m. the fast New London players defeated the Lincoln Giants in their opening game last season. In the final game the hard-hitting Elmhurst club will play the colored cracks. This will be the first time that the Elmhurst boys have ever played at Olympic field. --- TWO-REEL PICTURE MAKES A BIG HIT TWO-REEL PICTURE MAKES A BIG HIT "Doing Their Bit," the latest motion picture to be gotten out by a colored concern, was shown at the Lincoln Theatre the first half of the week and proved to be one of the strongest drawing cards the theatre has had for some time. It is the most creditable film ever gotten out in the interest of the colored American, and certainly the most inspiring. "Doing Their Bit," is a two-reel war picture, showing-to great advantage our colored troops, and no criticism can be made of it from a standpoint of photography. Among the many features shown by the film are the parade of the 367 Regiment up Fifth avenue and in Harlem, on Saturday, March 23; the presentation of the stand of colors to the regiment in front of the Union League Club, Governor Whitman making the presentation speech; the parade of a battalion of the 367th Infantry down Fifth avenue in a blinding snowstorm on Washington's birthday; the dedication of the Buffalo Auditorium at Camp Upton with Acting Secretary of War Crow well taking part; colored troops drilling at Camp Upton and Camp Dix; foreign Negro soldiers reviewed by General Joffre and other prominent French officers; a boxing contest in France between "Bob" Scanlon of the American Legion and a French soldier, and a picture 'of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, leaving the War Department after a strenuous day's work. The Touissant Studios, 438 Lenox avenue, New York, is putting out the picture, and there is every indication that the film will be in great derail by all theatres throughout the country which has a large colored clientele. "THE MASTER MIND" NEXT WEEK AT LAFAYETTE The Lafayette Theatre next week will have as the attraction, "The Master Mind," one of the best plays that has been done in years. "The Master Mind" is a play of intrigue and mystery, and tells a story of, to what depth a man will go to revenge himself upon his scaled and imaginary enemy, even when that enemy in reality is only following the dictates of the law, whichever he has sworn to uphold. In the story of the "Master Mind we find an upright, honest district attorney who has five years previous to the opening of the play sent a man to the chair for murder. This man's brother, "The Master Mind," regardless of right or wrong swears vengeance to get even, he sets out in many ways but without success. At last he has upon a scheme to pick up a beautiful girl and established a family for her out of crooks whom he has in his power; then he makes it possible for the district attorney to meet the girl, who is beauty and goodness herself, but for whom the "Master Mind" has established a criminal record unknown to the girl. Constant association between the girl and the district attorney ripens into love, and when the district attorney reaches the heights of his political career, as well as his heart's desire to attain the heart and hand of the girl he loves, "The Master Mind" springs his revenge. Andrew Bishop will be the district attorney. Miss Cleo Desmond will have a part the like she has not for some time, but suited to her natural talents. In fact the entire excellent company, Mr. Muse, Mr. Moore, Mr. Ray, Mr. Pryor, Mr. Lucas, Mr. Smith and Miss Freeman will be seen at their best. --- (Mpecial to The New York Age) Moorestown, N. J.—The Camp Dix Glee Club, composed of soldiers in the 19th Artillery, appeared at Moorestown, N. J. Thursday, March 28, in a concert for the benefit of the Junior Red Cross and the Camp Dix Army Y.M.C.A. N. J.

Some of the patronesses were among the most wealthy and influential white people. Miss Frances Kiger Cornish, assisted Miss Hattie A. Branch, Mrs. J. W. Shockley and Mrs. Preston-Williams, teachers was one of the moving spirits and was largely responsible for the suc- cess of the entertainment. Miss Cornish is one of the oldest and best known families of Washington, D. C., and a graduate of the public school system there. She is a daughter of the Louis A. Cornish. The latter was a long time a member of the School Board of Washington and prominently identified with education work there. Miss Cornish has for the past eighteen years been connected with the Moorestown School and has done very creditable work. She is now in the spirit of the war service doing her bit in the community service, aiding the Red Cross. The Camp Dix Glee Club was under the direction of Sherby J. Davidson, Building General Secretary of the Army Y. M. C. A., No. 7, Camp Dix. The house was packed long before the time for commencing the program.

The churches were the general messas for ceaseless throngs throughout the day and evening. So also were the more popular promenades. Special Easterermons, specially prepared choir music and Sunday school Easter concerts were the general order at the Loring Street M. E. Third Baptist and St. John'sChurches. Each Sunday school had an overflowing attendance at its Easter exercises and the children all acquitted themselves splendidly. At the Third Baptist church a service flag of four stars was presented to the school by Mrs A. D. Henderson's class. Miss Elizbeth Burnett made the presentation remarks which were responded to by the Rev. D. W. Johnson, the superintendent Mrs. Ella Liggins was concert directives. There was an upheaval last week among the white help at the Nayassett Club and colored waiters and bellmen were placed in their stead. The Nayassett Club is one of the most exclusive clubs in the city and is mostly patronized by the wealthier class. The club has always employed white help, but it is alleged that the management had a disagreement with the secretary of the Cooks and Waiters Union over wages, hence the change. Robert W. White, a former headwaiter at the Wendell Hotel in Pittsfield, is now in charge, with nine waiters. Mrs Mary E. Butler, Richelieu Court, entertained at dinner Sunday the Rev. A. L. Bouldin, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Friedson, Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain and D. D. Mattox of the Y. M. C. A. College Miss Theresa A.

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.

Box 818 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. ant dates of the Calvary Lyceum are: April 7, program by the president, topic for discussion, "Fellowship." April 14, Miss Elsie Thompson of Passaic, N. J.; April 21, Miss Gertrude Baker. RAHWAY, N. J. Rahway, N. J.—The Silver Leaf Club of A. M. E.
