TEAR DOWN BALLOU ORDER; DENIED RIGHT TO LEAVE CAMP The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. VOL. XXXL NO. 30. Members of Head quarters Company at Camp Upton Involved MEN.REMAIN SILENT Refuse to Tell On Persons Who Tore Down Order — Captain Norris Threatens to Keep Men in Camp Until "Hell Freezes Over" If He Does Not Get Desired Information. According to reports from Camp Upton three hundred members of the Headquarters Company of the 367th Infantry have been denied the right to leave camp until a confession is made as to who torne down the order recently issued by Major General Ballou at Camp Funston, Kans., advising all colored soldiers connected with the 92nd Division to refrain from demanding their legal rights and to put policy above the law. It is said that last Friday the order was posted in the barracks of the Headquarters Company and was quickly torn down; another was posted which met a similar fate. When the third order was put up for the soldiers to read and it, too, was removed Captain Norris, the only white captain in the regiment commanding a company, became indignant and called the soldiers together. Captain Norris is reported to have told his men that he considered the tearing down of the order an insult to General Ballou, and himself, and is going to leave this company on pass until hell freezes over unless the man is found who did this." As the result of this drastic action on the part of Captain Norris not a non-commissioned officer or private of the Headquarters Company was permitted to go to New York Saturday on leave, and until the time of going to press the order was still operative, as no information had been secured leading to the person or persons who tore down the Ballou order. Captain Norris has been popular with his men and is generally liked. It is thought that he "lost his head" when he declared that not a man was going to leave camp on pass until hell froze over unless the man was found who tore down the order. Since the publication in last week's issue of THE AGE of the Ballou order officials of the War Department have been bombarded with protests against what colored Americans claim was an unnecessary move to humiliate the Negro and "teach him his place." Better results would have been obtained, it is pointed out, had General Ballou called, his colored officers at Camp Funston in executive session and frankly discussed the matter with a view to arriving at some conservative plan of showing the men of the division the wisdom of exercising judgment so as not to provoke unnecessary race controversies. --- PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) Albany, N. Y. — The Legislature has passed a bill appropriating $5,000 for the establishment of a public employment office in Harlem to be conducted by the supervision of the Industrial Commission.

SOLDIERS ENTERTAIN AT VELTIN SCHOOL Three hundred children and adults attended the musical given by, members of the 307th infirmity at the Veltin School, 160 W. 74th street, Saturday afternoon, on which occasion the soldier boys were given an enthusiastic recitation by a representative audience. When the "Buffaloos" returned to camp they carried along musical instruments for other members of the regiment who are musically inclined, a goodly supply of "smokes" and one hundred books. Appearing on the program were Corp. "Lester Miller," who performed on his "one-dollar"; Sergt. George E. Battle, Sergt. G. H. Lewis, Private R. T. Hall and Private S. E. Phillips in vocal selections. Miss. Veltin, principal of the school; Mrs. Sprague Smith and Elbridge L. Adams were among those to lead in the applaise making. Mrs. Orlando Rouland, who has been active in leading the movement to secure musical instruments for soldiers and sailors, has given out a statement to the effect that only one instrument is given to each man; that a record is kept of the name of each donor, the name of the recipient, as well as the kind of instrument given.

SCRANTON WOMEN RAISE $1,000 FOR LIBERTY LOAN (Special to The New York Ack.) (Special to The New York Age) Scranton, Pa.—Mesdames Crump, Howes and Morton, heads of Colored Women's Chapter of the Liberty Loan Bond, have turned in over $1,000 in subscriptions. TO GATHER COTTON BY MODERN MACHINERY ous sections of the South tell of a movement among colored planters to raise more cotton and a better grade of the staple by adopting modern methods. "Efficiency" is to be the slogan. Although the growing of cotton is one of the South's leading industries, no marked change has been made in the method of planting and gathering it since the Civil War. Long ago to-date machinery was introduced to harvest wheat and other grain. The planters of the South made more money off their cotton in the past year than at any time in the country's history, and with prospects particularly bright for realizing large profits from the sale of cotton in the near future they are anxious to take advantage of the unusual opportunity which presents itself. The old way of gathering cotton by carrying a bag on the shoulder, is to be discarded for methods more in keeping with the times. That the Negro is to take the initiative in adopting the plan of using machinery for the gathering of cotton is pointed out as an evidence of the race's progressive spirit in the Southland. The introduction of machinery in the gathering of cotton instead of throwing people out of work will create a greater demand for labor, it is said. DRAW LINE IN RALEIGH Raleigh, N. C.-Raleigh's democracy was given a practical test on April 9, when the city welcomed Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. The Mayor proclaimed a general holiday. A general patriotic mass meeting was held at the city auditorium to boost the third Liberty Loan. Schools, colleges and citizens in every walk, of life, irrespective of color, were urged to be present. The colored attendance promised to be large and it was announced by the committee and through the press that the east side would be reserved for colored people. When the young ladies of Shaw University arrived they were forced to wait several minutes before being shown their places. At last the president of Shaw was told where they might be seated, but as sooth as they took seats the young women were ordered to move into what is commonly called the "peanut gallery." Despite the fact that it was announced that the seats in Emeshp would be reserved for colored people the students were told that different seating arrangements had been made for colored people. While some of the students of the State College (white) hissed and jeered at the Shaw students the president of Shaw insisted that the young ladies should keep their seats; but finding that the rudeness grew he decorously led the young women from the auditorium. When St. Augustine, a widely known school of the city, learned of the action of Shaw, the students also with- NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1918. A. M. E., the A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. Churches Likely to Unite SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS The committee, composed of prominent church-mech from each church, recently met in Birmingham and worked out a plan of unification which is to be submitted to the general conferences of the three denominations. The C. M. E. Church will hold its general conference at Chicago in May of this year, the A. M. E. Church will meet at St. Louis in May, the A. M. E. Church will hold its general conference at Knoxville, Tenn., in May, 1920. Should the three denominations at their quadrennial meetings approve and refine the recommendations, then they are to be sent for ratification to the annual conferences of the three churches. Copies of these recommendations are to be carried by each presiding elder and pastor from the annual conference to the districts or charges, and each pastor is to inform his members that on a certain date, allowing at least thirty days' notice, and not later than ninety days thereafter, that they are to vote upon the resolution touching organic union. Three-fourths Vote Necessary. Should three-fourths of the members of the annual conferences present and voting, and a majority of the members of each local church or congregation present and voting, vote for the resolution it shall be declared adopted. If it is found that the number of conferences and congregations necessary for ratification have voted for approval and the measure passes, the recommendations-provide that the three bodies shall be called to convene, at such time and place as shall be determined by the joint commission to be named by (Continued on page seven) GOVERNOR WHITMAN SIGNS CIVIL RIGHTS BILL GOVERNOR WHITMAN SIGNS CIVIL RIGHTS BILL (Special to TNK New York AOE.)

C.—Eleven colored teachers, all women, of the Wilson Colored Graded School, have resigned over the slapping in the face of one of their number by C. L. Coon, superintendent of the County and Graded Schools of Wilson County, North Carolina, and because of the discourseous treatment of Prof. J. D. Reid, principal of the Wilson Graded School, toward the young woman in question. The coloreed citizens of this place are also deeply accensed over the incident and committees representing the local Business League and Ministrial Union have been appointed to take up the matter with the Board of Education of Wilson County.

SEGREGATION SIGNS DOWN AT HOG ISLAND (Special to THE NEW YORK ACM.) PHILADELPHIA, PA.—On account of the vigorous protests made against segregation at Hog Island, the largest ship building plant in the world, conditions have changed. The obnoxious signs have all been removed, and all supervisory officers are instructed to see, that these orders are complied with. These signs appeared soon after the visit of Senator Vardanian, as pointed out in The Ace a few weeks ago, and they were attributed to his agency. NO COLORED SOLDIERS AT THE AR HOSPITAL IN THE BRONX WHO HA SEEN SERVICE IN THE TRENCH FEMALE POSTAL CLERKS AT THE PENN. TERMINAL A joyous surprise was that which came from the large working force at the Penn Terminal Station, N. Y. P. O., when on last Wednesday, April 10 Postmaster Thomas G. Patten appointed as substitute clerks and assigned to the mailing division Miss Thereas Brooks, 181 Prince street, and Clara Henry, 62 Clinton street both from Brooklyn and both colored. They are the first appointees from their sex and race, and came as a result of the competitive examination held last May. The former received an average of 88.10, the latter, 84.70. The largest number of postal employees are to be found in this station, which has the reputation for giving a square deal to its large number of colored employees. Among some of the clerks who enjoy the confidence and respect of their officers and fellow clerks are William Tynes, Allan D. Wood, Tandy and Guildford M. Crawford. Asst. Supt. of Mails Chas. S. Munroe, with the supervisory force under his command, will make things very pleasant for the two new workers, who have expressed their entire satisfaction over their surroundings.

The men are reported to be in, excellent condition and anxious to get on the firing line. FINANCIERS VISIT PALMER INSTITUTE SEMALIA, N. C.-On Saturday afternoon, April 6, enroute from Tuskegee, Julius Rosenwald, Frank Trumball, chairman of board of directors of C & O.; Wm. D. Willecox, chairman of board of directors of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. P. P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education, together with local wealthy and interested Southern white people, motored down to Palmer Memorial Institute. After visiting the school these men had a conference in Greensboro in interest of the school, to ascertain by what methods the work of Mrs. Brown, so effective in that section of the country, may obtain greater financial support. It was a tribute to the self-sacrificing efforts of those who labored there to have men of this calibre disarrange their tour to see the workings of this school. Last Sunday as the guest of a representative of the War Department I visited the U. S. A. General Hospital No. 1 in The Bronx the express purpose of investigating conditions there so far as to the colored patients. On my way to the institution my insignia ran riot. I pictured meeting and talking with colored men who had heard the staccato bark of the machine gun and the cruel sting; I anticipated hearing shocking tales of German ruthlessness from parched and feeble lips and shuddered at the prostrate gazing on disfigured forms and faces which had undergone physical transformation in the trenches. But not one colored man could be found who had been "over there." After a rigid search had been instituted for more than an hour the following facts were secured: That there are colored boys in khaki at the U. S. A. General Hospital No. 1 less than 25 in all, but more have been overseas duty; that until about two weeks ago several colored soldiers who had been to Europe were patients of the institution, but the records show that they never saw trench warfare; in fact, they never have been at the battlefront. Eight colored soldiers in all—two infantrymen and six members of stevedore regiments, have been brought from Europe and treated for various causes at the hospital; however, officials at the institution positively assert that none had been actively engaged in battle. Two or three of the soldiers in question were permanently discharged because of the nature of their ailments, while the others were pronounced physically fit and sent to rejoin their respective regiments. porter who wrote the article did not even talk with some colored soldiers he wrote about is pointed out in the affidavit. To date not a colored soldier was in the trenches over there, but an inmate of the U. S. A. General Hospital No. 1; but it is absurd that this condition will obtain as soon as thousands and thousands of white men have sacrificed life limb in the great European conquest will some of our colored American struck down in the flower of their hood, and it should be expected some will be brought back to their tive soil to be treated for injury received in the trenches. But so far no wounded colored diers have been brought back; as they have not been sent to the prison at 212th street and Fordham. The list of colored patients treated at the hospital who have been overseas follows: John Martin, infantryman; J. Gibbs, infantryman; Virgin Daniels, Joseph Thomas, Virgil Stone, Emmanuel Graham and Grant Boroughs, members of these men was treated for injuries received while in action and each was a patient at the institution for from six to eight weeks. Hayward's Men in Hospital. Most of the colored soldiers receiving medical aid at the U. S. A. General Hospital are members of Colonel Hayward's, 15th Infantry, some of whom have been inmates since December. One private told me of how he had suddenly ill only two days before the regiment sailed for Europe, while others made statements that they had been declared physically unfit some weeks before the crack New York regiment left for the other side. As the majority of these men are in the convalescent ward I took for granted that before many weeks they will be pronounced well enough to make the trip overseas. In several of the wards I came across members 'of the 367th Regiment, one drafted man having been from Camp Upton just two days. Like many of those with whom I talked, he was cheerful and expressed hope of returning to his regiment before it left this country. For several weeks rumors have been going the rounds in Harlem of the sad physical plight of colored patients at the army hospital in the Bronx—soldiers who had been wounded and mutilated by the Germans, but not a scintilla of evidence could be found Sunday to put the stamp of authenticity on any of these wild reports. The disinclination of the officials of the hospital to segregate white and colored patients and the white American's growing appreciation of the colored American's status as a man and a citizen made a most favorable impression; giving one an opportunity to speak of democracy without mental reservation. The men are assigned to the various wards according to the nature of their complaint. Officials are Courteous. "The investigating party was escorted through the wards by Capt. W. C. Humphries, officer of the day, who, up to the time the United States broke with Germany, was a leading practicing physician of Maron, Ga. Capt. Humphries seemed to take delight in furnishing members of the party information and was extremely courteous. Maj. J. H. J Watson who last Sunday was in charge of the hospital in the absence of Col. D. Dtwal, made a distinct impression on his visitors by asserting that the present European conflict was not only the white man's war but also the colored man's war. Major Watson was formerly an officer in the Medical Corps of the Canadian Army and saw active service at the front with the Canadians. When the United States entered into the war he was transferred to Uncle Sam's fighting forces. Both Major Watson and Captain Humphries stated that in this great light for democracy it will be necessary for white and black, rich and poor, high and low to play a part—whether it be on the field of battle or off—and predicted that the Negro, as in all future wars, could be depended upon to "do his hit." Affidavits were read by Major Watson in which colored patients denied having given out statements appearing in a local daily some weeks ago telling of German cruelty in the trenches. The re- The New York Times IS RELIABLE. WHEN NEEDED IT IN "THE AGES" NEEDED DEPEND UPON IT. NEWSPAPER IS INFORMING.

GERMAN SUBMARINE SHELLS MARINE (Annual to this Issue) WASHINGTON, D. C. The submarine of the largest seawater type appeared in the port of Miami, rovia, the capital of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, April 10 and bombarded the wireless, and cable stations, killing three and wounding three. A Liberian schooner was also sunk. The submarine threw scores of shots from her deck guns into the wireless station, causing extensive damage. She had just turned her attention to the cable offices when a steamship was驶着 passing the harbor mouth. The submarine left in chase and did not return. The State Department information came from Robert C. Bundy, in charge of the American Legation at Montevideo. The first message he sent indicated his belief that the submarine would have no difficulty in completing her object of utterly destroying all means of communication with the outside world. A later message told of the sudden departure of the U-boat. A report is current here that Mr. Bundy is soon to be appointed United States Minister to Liberia to second the late James L. Curtis.

He asked the young men that "We are with your heart, mind and soul; and moreover we want you to feel that whenever you are any one who may be dependent upon us, are in need or distress, you have to call upon us and we will gladly respond; for we feel that you are making a life and need being dear to you, itself, if we need be, the safety of this, our common country.

TUSKEGEE NIGHT AT CAMP GRANT (Special to THE NEW YORK AQR.) CAMP GRANT, LL.—One of the most unique meetings yet held among the men of the 183rd Brigade, was the celebration of the anniversary of the birth of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute. The Black Infantry 'Band, under the direction of Band Leader Arthur T. Stewart, undered a most pleasing concert. Private Roland Smith, of the 183rd Brigade, Detachment, read a paper, "Dr. Washington as a student Knew Him," which called forth hearty applause from the large and appreciative audience. Private Smith is a graduate of Tuskegee institute and has proven himself to be one of the most competent telegraph movers in the Brigade. Broadier General Malvern-Hill Brigade, commanding the 183rd Brigade, very greatly pleased with the character of the celebration and took occasion to announce that the other regiment constituting the other part of the brigade, will hold a similar program at the time the paper prepared and read the Private Smith, will be read.

BALTIMORE, Mo.-When Mrs. A. L. Horner, of this city, inherited the old family homestead a few years ago it appeared more of a liability than an asset. A colored section of the city cover what was once the farm; and nobody able to rent a big place would take it. Taxes threatened to eat it up. This is her story of how a depreciated property became a paying investment. "I believed," she said, "that a large class of Negroes will care for a good home, if they can get one. Also, that the kind of Negroes the South needs cannot be. reared in the pig-styne brand of houses we so often compel them to live in. I believed it would pay, not only in the health, character, efficiency and happiness of the tenants, in dollars and cents for the landlord, to provide for them good houses at reasonable rents. I started out to prove all that; and I've made good on every count." "The big house was cut into four apartments, two on each floor, with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen-living-room, a kitchen and a window, windows and gas is used for lighting." "I made the kitchen as convenient and attractive as possible," she said. "I put in a kitchen dresser, porcelain sink and dish-drainer, hot water supply, built-in coal box, good kitchen stove, and pipe for gas stove, which, most of them buy for summer use. I put heating stoves in the bedrooms, and I papered to suit my tenants. "The upstairs apartments rent for $4.00 per week. Those downstairs bring $3.50, because the stairway cuts off a little from one room in each. My men-folk collect my rent weekly; so I save agents' fees, which must be borne in mind when I speak of profits. But I go there myself, and know every tenant. I know their troubles; and when there is sickness, or slack work, I wait for the rent. They always pay it later. I have hardly lost a dollar." "And it pays—in money." "I clear ten per cent on my investment—clear it net, you understand. Yet I rent, three rooms and bath for less than two poor rooms rent for all about me. I have put $11,000.00 into four new houses on the vacant land. All the apartments are three-roomed; with four there is the temptation to sublet, which is bad, morally and physically. This last investment pays as well as the first. My tenants stay with me. They take good care of the property. My rooms are rarely empty, even for a few days. "The bathrooms hold them,—those and the hot water. They do like to be clean. Its not fair to house them in barns, and pocket rents, and salve our conscience with the notion that they're dirty and shiftless. Go out and get acquainted with your tenants. I say, and give them a decent chance. If pays, in folks and in money too; I've tried and proved it for myself." Washington, D. C.—Funeral services were held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church Friday afternoon last for Major James E. Walker, National Army, former commander of the First Separate Battalion, 'District of Columbia National Guard, who died at the Army Hospital at Fort Bayard, N.M., April 4 from tuberculosis, following military services on the Mexican frontier. The sermon was preached by the church, Bloody Broom pastor the church, assisted by the Smith, Howard, Penn and Seaton, The Rev. J. Francis Grimke of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, delivered a masterly address. Mrs. Lottie Wallace Murray sang feelingly "My Home is Over Jordan."

TEXAS MERCHANT TALKS ON BUSINESS PRINCIPLES (Special to The New York ACE) (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) PRAIRIE VIEW, TEX—R. L. Andrews, who has been a successful merchant in Houston for nearly eighteen years, gave the students at Prairie View this sig- ificant and important principle of busi- ness management: "To have a determined will, patience and a clean conscience is half the jour- ney to success. I started out in the grocery business seventeen years ago in the down town district. The first seven years proved almost a failure, but I had faith in God and didn't give up. I was always honest with my weights, and gained the confidence and patronage of my friends. My rent for the first year was $50 a month but increased each year until row it is $300 a month." SELMA GIVEN COLORED DRAPTERS BIG SENDOFF (Sponsored to The New York Am.) SELMA, ALA.—Never before in the history of Selma have the colored people made such extensive demonstrations of loyalty to the cause of the Allies as witnessed when 160 colored drafteres boarded Pullman sleepers for Camp Dodge to begin training to face the Kaiser. They left the cheers of five thousand persons, many of whom were white. The select-men were the quota of the first draft for Dallas County. They were joined at the depot by 400 selectmen, 148 of whom were from Marengo, 70 from Perry, 110 from Clarke and 72 from Hales Counties. When it became generally known that Dallas County would have to furnish 160 of its best young men for the training camp the colored citizens, business and professional men, preachers, farmers and mechanics, began making arrangements for the greatest patriotic demonstration ever witnesses in the history of the county. Prof. R. B. Hudson, Dr. R. T. Pollard, Dr. H. E. Archer and the Rev. S. F. Kingston, representing Clark High School, Selma University, Payne University and Knox Academy, respectively, together with Pastors Martin, Jemison and other citizens met and planned to give the draftees a big send off. Religious services were held at Selma University on Sunday afternoon which were attended by a large crowd. An address was delivered by Mayor Benish, followed by a strong sermon by Dr. H. N. Newsome and remarks by Dr. J. A. Martin, Dr. J. W. Walker, closing with a fervent prayer by Dr. Pollard. Monday morning the 160 soldiers assembled at the Court House where each one was numbered and captains appointed. A procession was formed with the Knox Band leading, followed by Mayor Benish, the Draft Board, students of Knox Academy, Payne University, Clark School and Selma University and the patriotic procession took up its march to the union depot where each selectman received a bouquet from the ladies composing the Red Cross Auxiliary. A bible was presented to each soldier, the gift of the schools of the city. Prof. R. B. Hudson, who took the initiative in the demonstrations managed the whole affair without a hitch. The two colored physicians, Dr. L. L. Burwell and Dr. C. S. Taylor gave fifteen days of their time, without pay, to examine the boys. They are members of the Draft Board. Dr. J. W. Meorer and Dr. N. D. Walker were present at the reception Friday night and spoke words of encouragement to the boys. BROOKLYN RECTOR ON GEN. BALLOU S ORDER A characteristic outburst took place at the morning service at St. Augustine's P. E. Church, Brooklyn, last Sunday morning, when the rector, the Rev. George Frazier Miller, turned his attention to the bulletin recently issued at the instance of Major General Ballou and published in THE AGE last week. Dr. Miller said, among other things; "Rights are not always on one side and responsibilities on the other. Rights imply responsibilities; and duties, rights. They who do the work should enjoy some of the benefits. We are called upon to be patriotic to be loyal, to fight, to help to make the world safe for democracy, yet men in high places put a denial upon the very principle when we as a people are considered. If we are not purposely excluded, we are not taken into their calculations. Calling specific attention the General Ballot he commends the General when the world is crying out make the world safe for democracy, when it is re-echoing the spirit of the French Revolution, of liberty, fraternity, equality, he promulgated an order among colored men that they must not consider rights, must subordinate legal rights to policy." "Patriotism is a derivative and not a fundamental virtue," he declared. "Justice is fundamental, and if I am called upon to the patriotic, or loyal, justice must first be done to me. When we come to the point of duties, let me say, conserving rights is a supreme duty. No man has a right to insult his own manhood, or to allow another to do so. Personal dignity is the highest duty on earth. Instead of assisting his men in the asserting of their dignity, he rehukes them. "Patriotism is devotion to one's country, based upon recognition of sonship in that country, and the guarantee of protection and rights under that country's laws. Justice is first: patriotism subsists upon justice. It is a moral relation, truth and support on the one side, truth and support, yes and 'fair play on the other.'"

Until transportation conditions are improved, delays are RELIGIOUS. TENDENCIES. Powerful forces are demonstrating their workings among the nations' religious denominations and which the Negro race is most widely identified in this country. The trend toward concentration and solidarity is manifested in the government arrived at by the representatives of the three great divisions of Methodists upon the subject of organic union. The committee composed of delegates from the African Methodist, Zion Methodist and Colored Methodist Churches, in the belief that organic union is practicable, desirable and feasible, recommend that the three churches unite into one body under the title of the United Methodist Episcopal Church. To become effective this recommendation must be ratified by the gen- conferences of each of the conferences, and also by three-fourths annual conferences, and a majority of the members of each church. As two of the gen- ual conferences will not meet until ample opportunity will be af- faced for the consideration of, the in all its details. Then the Baptists of the race, their differences that threatened to hold the denomination asunder, have agreed to compose the breach and get together upon a basis forification. The executive boards of the two divisions are expected to approve the articles of agreement within the next two months and provide for the meeting of the national conventions in the same city this year on the same day for final and complete ratification of the agreement. With harmony promised for this great division of religious workers, their efficiency and enthusiasm will take new life. On the other hand, considerable satisfaction is finding vent among the half million colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church over the plan for unification of the Northern and Southern wings. According to a communication signed by eight district superintendents and seventy-five ministers and laymen, it is predicted that the incomplete plan will meet with practically universal disapproval. One of the features that accrued the greatest opposition was the elimination of all colored delegates from the white general conference, admitting an embassy of ten only, without vote and without voice, except on questions relating to colored work. All of these activities in these denominational bodies are full of significance, those among the African churches tending toward greater harmony and a fuller sense of brotherhood, while the tendency in the denomination controlled by whites is toward discrimination and the freezing out of the colored membership. The manly attitude of protest maintained by the members of the race may avert the issue threatened, but it is doubtful if the brand of Christianity that prevails in the American churches can stand the test of treating their colored membership on the basis of equal and impartial justice. The United Methodist Church, as proposed, may yet become the rallying center for those of the race who adhere to the general tenets of Methodism. JUDICIAL OPPRESSORS. JUDICIAL OPPRESSORS. A powerful instrument of oppression and injustice in the South is furnished in the person of the local officers of the law. This was strikingly illustrated in North Carolina, where the governor recently pardoned a respectable, colored man, who was sent to jail on the charge of shooting a white man. It appeared that the shooting was done in self-defense, and grew out of the fact that the prisoner was called upon, by a local officer to assist in taking two white men to prison. Although these facts came out at the trial and the judge was urged to let the accused go upon payment of a fine, he laid down the legal dictum that he did not propose to let a colored man simply pay a fine for shooting a white man. It was the question of color and not the merits of the case that counted with the dispenser of justice. A Northern newspaper correspondent recently printed the story of a local magistrate in South Carolina, who, when the case of a Negro came before him, simply refused to hear the lawyer for the defense, and upon the latter insisting upon seeing the copy of the charges, he found that the judge had already endorsed his sentence on the back of the paper. That is, without hearing the case he had pre-judged the accused and sentenced him to the chain gang as a matter of course. With such a class of judges on the bench, it will be seen how hopeless it is for the Negro to seek justice in most of the local courts. How such practices can be reconciled with any oath of office it is hard to see. But evidently the Negro is counted outside the pale of justice in the South. This is part of the system that has produced the migration movement of the past two years. Until the whites of the South attain a higher ideal of justice and place its exponents in positions to exercise it, no improvement can be expected. The fact that many white men admit the rottenness of the present system affords ground to hope for its reform. POISON GAS. The foe on the battle front in France invariably precedes his attacks by bombing the Allied defenders with poison gas. The Americans in the front line have already had their bitter experience with this sort of warfare, intended to destroy their morale before the enemy attempted to rush "them. Luckily, means of defense have been provided them in the form of gas masks, against this sort of attack. But what defense is afforded the men of the 92nd Division of the National Army against the bomb launched at them by the division commander in the shape of Bulletin No. 35, printed in THE AGE last week? The poison gas disseminated in the truckling attitude enjoined in this bulletin is just as deadly an HEAR THE HEATHEN RAGE. A reader sends us a copy of Antonio, Texas, called K.

Lamity's Harpoon. This publication is indeed a calamity to San Antonio, to Texas and to what ever other places in which it circulates. It is a poor imitation of Braun's Iconoclast, which was also once published in Texas. The editor of the Harpoon tries to make up for Braun's perverted ability by vulgar abuse. Braun did have real ability; he had a brilliant, sarcastic style, and knew how to write forcible English. If the editor of the Harpoon has any ability he doesn't show it; he is loud-mouthed but stupid, and does not know how to write correct English. He depends largely upon his vulgar, abusive and obscene utterances to attract attention. The copy of the Harpoon sent to us contains two articles on what is doubtless its pet aversion, the Negro. The first is a low attack on Mrs. Howard Gould for having addressed a gathering of colored voters in Harlem during the recent special election campaign. The second is an article headed, "Why I Object To Negro Soldiers." In the first article seven pages are taken up with abuse of Mrs. Gould and abuse of the Negro. The writer draws heavily on the well known ethnology and history of the "Southern scientific" school. He goes in at great length to prove that the Negro is an inferior being for whom there can be no hope of rising. To Mrs. Gould he says: Did it ever occur to you, that God Almighty created both the white man and the black man, just as He saw proper, and He intended them to thus remain? You possibly may have heard, that ever since the dawn of creation, the black man has never been competent to organize or perpetuate even a semblance of government, but from the days of Adam lias, when left to himself, lived the life of a conscienceless savage. Now the writer of these words is either an ignorant fool or just a plain liar. If he knows anything about history at all he must know that when the race to which he belongs was a race of hairy savages living in caves and gnawing on raw bones, the Negro in Africa had already laid the foundations of government and religion, had taken the first steps in mathematics and astronomy, had made the first beginnings in music and poetry, had discovered the secret of smelting iron, and had mastered the rudimentary trades. Of course the writer on the Harpoon will say that the people who liged in early Egypt and up the valley of the Nile were not pure Negroes. Well, we want him to tell us what were the pure white people doing at the same time. And also to tell us why these people, if they were not Negroes, fashioned the Sphynx and other monuments with pure Negro features. The Harpoon writer says that the Negro, except when he has been brought into contact with the white man, has lived the life of a conscienceless savage. He is putting it backward; the white man was never anything but a savage until touched by the civilization of the darker races. Suppose we grant that the early Egyptians were a mixed race; it only goes to prove that the white man did not rise above the animal until he came in contact with the Negro in Africa. The same line of argument might be applied to all the civilizations that fringed the Mediterranean, from Arabia on around to Greece and Italy. The prevalent theory is that the pure white race migrated from central Asia northward into Europe; then the question arises, why did not civilization in all of its perfection extend northward instead of southward. Does the "Harpoon" not know that if the world had come to an end just a thousand years ago, the pure white race would not have had to its credit a single one of the contributions that have raised man in the scale of civilization? The "Harpooner" will, of course, ask this question, "If Africa was once the seat of civilization, why has its civilization passed?" The same question might be asked about Babylon and Athens and even Rome. The torch of civilization has passed from the hand of one race to another; that seems to be the way in which it has been kept flaming. For the past five hundred years it has been in the hands of the pure white races; and to-day they seem to be doing their best to put it out. But all things in the universe move in a circle, and who knows but that once again the darker races may be the torch bearers. Men of the type of the editor of the Harpoon are always referring to God Almighty's part in the Southern scheme of things. This editor, who is so familiar with God's great plan says that God Almighty created the black man "just as He saw proper, and He in- attack upon the morale of the division as that of the German bombs. The ready acquiescence demanded in all forms of discrimination and proscription is just as poisonous to the spirit of true manhood as the German gas. It is up to the War Department to protect the soldiers against all such attacks, both at home and abroad. SLAPPED FOR DAYLIGHT _SAVING. The putting into effect of the daylight saving law in the town of Wilson, N. C., caused a considerable friction in the colored school there, which resulted in the resignation of eleven women teachers. The principal is charged with incompetency and untruthfulness and the county superintendent is charged with slapping a teacher in the face. The Colored Ministerial Union and the Negro Business League have appointed a special committee to take up the matter with the graded school board, while the colored citizens have tendered the teachers a reception in approval of their womanly courage. an magazine published down in San Diego's Harpoon.

A writer in the Saturday Evening Post in describing the atrocities perpetrated upon the Armenians by the Turks, under the encouragement of the latter's German allies, says that some of the helpless Armenians were saturated with kerosene and then a match applied. The Turks are not credited with being civilized in the modern sense, but they are evidently trying to equal the record of Tennessee and other parts of so-called civilized America. A college professor predicts the passing of the boiled shirt, on account of the necessity of conserving the supply of starch. With the elimination of starched shirts and necessarily collars from everyday wear, the question will be how long will it take the socialist party to elect a president. tended them thus to remain. The only comment we have to make is that this Southern God has not been very successful in carrying out his plan, because the black man for some reason does not remain in the place where this Southern God intended him to be. He has for three hundred years in this country been constantly rising above that place. Somehow or other, he just won't stay fixed. If the black man would only stay in the place assigned to him in the Southern plan of creation, men like K. Lamity would not have on their hands such a big job trying to keep him down. What men like K. Lamity do not realize is that they are not living in the present age. They belong back in the age when the controversy about the Negro was as to whether or not he had a human soul and could be made susceptible to religious teaching; as to whether or not he has sufficient gray matter in his skull to master the rudiments of learning. The American colored man to-day is not concerned with any such arguments, he dropped them years ago. The American Negro to-day is not wasting his time trying to prove his equality by any theory; he is demonstrating it. In fact, the sort of equality he is claiming is the equality of opportunity; and even K. Lamity ought to be willing to grant that, because if the black man is innately inferior there is no danger in giving him the equal chance to prove his equality to other men. The writer in the Harpoon in another part of his article says to Mrs. Gould: "The cat-capers you are cutting around New York, Viola, are extremely funny to the people of the Southland." Well, it is the most serious kind of fun we ever saw. Funny, is it? Why the nightmare, the overhanging dread of men like K. Lamity is the thought that in spite of all their efforts the Negro will rise far above the place where they try to fool themselves God intended him to remain. Jesus Christ himself, although never once mentioned them—and He knew His Father had cared and that in His wisdom and mercy gardled of the petty fancies or a batty woman.

It is not for you or I, to attempt at this late day, a general reconstruction of God's immutable laws. Now that is really funny. "It is not for you or I, to attempt at this late day, a general reconstruction of God's immutable laws." Think of K. Lamity and the other ignorant, mean, little-souled men of his ilk in Texas and other states straining with all of their feeble strength to prevent God's immutable laws from being changed. It is enough to bring a smile to the face of a tired mule. After reading the above, I am sure that you will not need to hear K. Lamity's reasons why he objects to Negro soldiers. He says, "according to my ideas, when the very life and welfare of America is at stake, and civilization is rocking upon its very foundations, it ill behooves this great nation of white men and white women to call into its councils or place in its front line of defense the emancipated slaves in our midst." K. Lamity is not the only Southern patriot with opinions like that, but I want to say to him that with America's welfare at stake and civilization rocking upon its foundations, the American people will look on him and all like him, as a set of crazy fools who ought to be put in an insane asylum or locked up in jail. THE MOB AND THE LAW. It appears that it has taken the being a pro-German to bring about against the mob.

If the lynch and good. It appears that it has taken the lynching of an alien charged with being a pro-German to bring about the first real activity of the law against the mob. In the case of Prager, who was lynched a few days ago in Collinsville, Illinois, the grand jury has gotten busy, and as a result several members of the mob have been charged with murder and a number of others have been cited to appear. The leader of the mob has confessed the part he took in the lynching. To quote his own words, he said: "The crowd kept getting more excited and angry. Some one shouted, 'Well, if he won't come in with anything, string him up.' A boy produced a handkerchief and his hands were tied. I might have been the man who did the thing. I was drunk, and because I had been in the army the crowd made me the big man in the affair." These words give a pretty fair illustration of how most of the lynchings that occur are pulled off. Hundreds, even thousands of loyal, native born black Americans have been lynched in this country, but it has taken the lynching of an alien accused of pro-Germanism to arouse those in authority to a sense of their duty. The news despatches state that the Government insisted that the Illinois state authorities take steps without delay to bring Prager's murderers to punishment. If this is true, the action was undoubtedly taken because of the fear that the German Government might allow or even inite mobs in Germany to lynch American residents in that country. Let that be as it may, we are glad to see the steps taken. Such a step taken in the case of a white alien may lead to its being followed up in cases of loyal Americans, regardless of race. We want to see the whole nation aroused to the shame and the danger of lynching. We want to see the whole American people brought to a realization that lynching is no longer merely a crime against the Negro, bit a crime against the country. If the lynching of Prager has done this, well and good. FROM COLGATE UNIVERSITY. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE. I am enclosing remittance for subscription to THE AGE.

But not all beginnings are good and true. For example, we are going to win this terrible war in the END, in spite of the false beginnings of some of our leaders and in spite of the Germans. And the end is often very different from the beginning. In the beginning Lincoln said in effect: This war will not disturb slavery—and in the end he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. General Ballou, of the 92nd Division, has, according to the press, made one of these erroneous beginnings; not because he counsels his colored soldiers to be generous in dealing with the prejudices of their white fellowmen, but because he sweetens (?) this counsel with the bitterness of a threat, that if his men claim their ordinary rights as American citizens, however "legal" their claim, the white men who "made" them will "break" them. I do not know what white men the General refers to. For that class of white men in America is not at the head of the government; but are to be found in East St. Louis and a few hamlets of Tennessee. Soldiers without personal pride would be mighty poor material to pit against the proud German. And what we must all do at home now is to bend our energies to BREAK THE ENEMY and not each other. All sensible colored people, and their sensible friends, devoutly wish for the same thing which General Ballou no doubt wants, but which his methods, as exhibited in this order, will not get; that the brave black soldiers will be high-minded and ingenuous enough not to allow any small thing to deter them from the great honor which they now pursue or the duty which they now perform; and that they will be generous to the faults of their home-land, and as for bearing as possible to the very annoying attitude of some of their fellow-countrymen. The average Negro, like the average man is very amenable to sympathetic advice, but rather insensible to threats and scares. Therefore, he is fit to fight the German. I cannot think-for other people, but I can say, what I believe I WOULD do if the other fellow's job were mine. If I were a leader of white men in America today, I believe I would counsel them to sacrifice for the time being as much as possible of their unprofitable prejudices upon the altar of our country's future. As Americans 'and men (neither black nor white) we must all subordinate the internal warfare to the needs of the greater WAR which confronts us as a nation and a civilization. WM. PIGRENS. Morgan College. AMERICANIZATION PLANS The following definition of Americanization has been announced by the council of women's organizations which was formed some time ago to co-ordinate all work of the various women's organizations during the time of war: "The interpretation of American ideals—traditions and standards and institutions to the foreign born. "The acquirements of a common language for the entire nation. "The promotion of a universal desire among all peoples in America to become citizens under the American flag. "The combating of anti-American propaganda activities and schemes and the stamping out of Sedition wherever found. "The elimination of industrial conditions which make fruitful soil for un-American propagandists and disloyal agitators. "The abolition of racial prejudices, barriers and discriminations, the discouragement of colonies and immigrant sections, which keep people in America apart. "The creation of a normal, wholesome and national standard of living for all peoples in America. "The discontinuance of discriminations in housing, care, protection and treatment of aliens. "The creation of an understanding of duty toward, as well as love for, America, and to foster the desire of immigrants to remain in America, have a house here, and support American institutions and laws. "The telling of the story of 'Why America is at war,' to foreign-horn people and why we must all stand together to win it." The section of the council which is devoted to the alien population has announced definite measures for beginning the work, among them the establishment of a training course for workers in various fields of Americanization. OUR SOLDIERS IN FRANCE The Rev. D. Leroy Ferguson writes from Paris as follows: "The colored soldier here is making a great record in France, and the officers and French people with whom I have talked praise their worth and work. The same bravery and courage and skill that characterized his efforts in other wars in America and Mexico are shown he erin an excellent way. They are enduring the hardships and the suffering with smiles; their department is good; and whether it is unloading the great cargoes, digging the roads or on the firing line, the black soldier is equal to any. When the history of the war is written our soldiers will have their names written large with honors, and though here in France for victory, they all want to and expect to return to the good old U. S. A. With all her faults, we love her still—our wives, our sweethearts, families and our homes. I am proud to be able to contribute something to the war." The Rev. D. Leroy Ferguson was the rector at the Church of Our Merciful Savior at Louisville, Ky., at the time of his enlistment in the army. Just prior to his sailing for France he married Mrs. Maude Taylor, a popular young widow of Louisville, a sister of Mrs. Lillian Furniss, wife of Dr. S. A.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN NEW YORK WOMEN ORGANIZE TO VOTE BY MAYBELLE McADOO During last November women throughout the Empire State became an accredited part of the electorate and since that time have been taking more and more interest in the why and wherefore of things political. The mass of colored women are "at ease" in many respects regarding their new responsibilities. Not because they are more illiterate or more indifferent to their give duties than women of any race, but because, unlike them, they are not had leaders to organize, to organize and advise them in political matters. The mass of white women have had advantages and more; years of campaigning have made their leaders steps at the political game. From the very beginning of the movement their was "united we stand—divided we fall." That motto carried suffrage through eight-eight years of warfare—of opium, derision, ostracism and abuse, who even invades the light begun for women's Rights in far off London in by several American abolitionists, themselves discriminated against on account of sex, would have triumphed if the women themselves had not stood shoulder to shoulder throughout the years. Their organizations are models of efficiency; they have all that money, brain, energy and inselash skill, enthusiasm and start to contribute to them, aid are to be reckoned with in the world defies because of these factors. Most of us very distinctly remember the sufragrist was the butt of the maturist and a joke in society generally. Is she now? At least the politician of our great country think she become a pretty serious proposition, is said that the vote of the women in the sufragrate states put President Wilson back in office; and thereby hangs a tale. What has wrought this wonderful image in the sentiment the country? It be best women politicians give them by giving them a voice the government? No, indeed—but the menus saw a great light. Being wise they did not intend that the wheels progress should roll over and crush. The saying goes that "wise men urge their minds, fools never," and they did not mean to be classed with the men. As a unit the women all over the country although in separate bodies, carried on their right. Organization—women's organization won the cause for women in the tastes of the public, marching on, and until the Union is converted. married, women came in on the tidal waters as voters last November, not be- fore of anything they had done, but in all of it. However, it is growing easier and more apparent that we must as other women—organize—otherwise are going to pay for it in discrimination and unjust laws which we ourselves lost to dismantle and indifference.

ABYSSINIAN EMPRESS A FORCEFUL CHARACTER Ta AIFORCEFUL CHARACTER of Abyssina, who died recently, was a widow for the fourth time when, in 1883, at thirty, she married Menelik, then simply a great force of character. A princess of Tigre, she was of very fair complexion, and had remarkably small hands and feet, says the London Times. In her youth she was celebrated for her beauty. Of her first four husbands—all generals—one she divorced, and between her third and fourth marriage she spent three time in London. From the first, as became a daughter of the king of Gondar, she took an active part in the troubled politics of Abyssina, and was concerned in all the civil wars and intrigues which ended in the raising of Menelik—to whom she bore no children—to the position Negus-Negus. At Negus-Negus, the Italians suffered a crushing reverse, she accompanied Menelik in the battle headquarters and put her own hereditary troops in the field. After the consolidation of Menelik's power the Empress Taitou rarely quitted Abis Abeba, and saw few Europeans. To those whom she did receive she was gracious, and she gave the impression of genuine interest in public affairs. She was dressed in dresses dressed in voluminous white robes covered by a black silk cloak, and was partially veiled. During Menelik's long illness she practically governed the country, and kept it from internal disorders. On Menelik's death at Christmas, 1913, his grandson, Lidji Jeassu, a youth of eighteen, became emperor, and, largely on Taitou's initiative he was deposed in September, 1916, and his aunt Zeddita, Menelik's elder daughter, was proclaimed empress. WOMEN VOTERS CHANGE LAWS IN CALIFORNIA The women of California acquired suffrage in 1911. At that time the total membership of women's clubs in California was about 40,000. Today it is 75,000. No sooner had suffrage been acquired than efforts were made to form some sort of machine to promote registration beneficial to women and civilization. The present Women's Legislative Council of California was the outcome. At the 1915 session of the State Legislature five indorsed measures were presented by the Council. These were jury service for women, birth registration, child labor, home teachers and compulsory "education" for women and fourth education measures were passed and are now part of the laws of California. At the next, the 1917 session, three indorsed measures were presented; viz. community property, jury service for women and establishment of an institution for the feebleminded. The second and third bills were passed outright as presented. Women now serve as jurors the so-called Community Property law, passed only after the excision of some of its clauses. The object of the bill is to place the wife on an equality with the husband, so far as property accumulated since marriage by either husband or wife, or both, is concerned. NOTED ABOUT WOMEN The Ladies' Symphony Orchestra of Philadelphia is cited as the largest orchestra of its kind in America, composed of colored women. The Frankford Arsenal wants women badly for factory work. They must be under 45 years, and they will receive $2.20 per day. A number of race women are already employed there. To graduate the number of our children under five, years dying annually our nurses must come forward. Graduate nurses who, have not had special public health training can get it, for the Visiting Nurse Society of Philadelphia has offered itself as a training centre to give free, two weeks intensive training in public health nursing to qualified nurses who have positions waiting for them as soon as they are equipped to take them. This training will cover field work in the home, with special emphasis on prenatal and postnatal care and instruction, a study of diets for babies and young children, and lectures on the chief factors in infant mortality and the special problems that endanger the child.

N. Y. 704-288-2000 THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS THE NEGRO AND AMERICAN MUSIC NEGRO music comes in for a good share of praise by Percy Grainger, who stands high as a musician, in his review of Natalie Curtis Burlin's recent literary effort on "Negro Folksongs." Mr. Grainger thinks that this music is most American of all, and in the New York Times further discusses the subject as follows: "Of all the various kinds of beautiful and thrilling music, classical or popular, primitive or cultured, that it has been my good fortune to hear in the United States, this Negro folk-music easily occupies the first place in my mind, as regards its sheer acoustical beauty, its emotional depth, and by reason of its musico-historical import. This is the most truly vocal of music, ideally adapted for singing by choirs and solo organizations. "It is the most American music imaginable, breathing the spiritual savor and abandonment and the fragrance of sentiment so strangely typical of this wondrous, this generous-souled continent; yet worldwide in its applicability—as is all truly great emotional music. "But the unique instructional message of Natalie Burlin's work lies in the fact that it is a record of unconscious harmony. Most of the unconscious music of the world (such as the British, Scandinavian, Greenlandic, American Indian, Kashmiri, African, Australian folk-music) consists of 'single-line,' i. e. unaccompanied melody with no undercurrent of harmonic thought. Only rarely (as in the case of Russian, peasant, Polynesian and American Negro part singing) do we find harmonic habits associated with a complete lack of knowledge of musical notation. "This makes a few available examples all the more precious and worthy of the most careful investigation and preservation, especially when the purely aesthetic results, when viewed from the angle of a modern composer, are as ravishing as they are in the case of these Negro part songs now before us. "But the task of noting down accurately such improvisational part singing is the very hardest of musical undertakings; solely by ear it is impossible to reach the needful degree of detail accuracy, and even with the help of the phonograph the problem is one calling for the sharpest of cars, the most alert of musical mentalities, the warmest and most expansive of racial sympathies. "Natalie Curtis Burlin possesses a splendidly acute hearing, accompanied by a unique realization of just what she heard and how to write it down, while her depth of artistic feeling and breadth of culture enable her to enter into the soul life of an alien race, of an alien class, as not one in many millions can. When I peruse these her strangely perfect and satisfying recordings of these superb American Negro part songs, I cannot refrain from exclaiming: How lucky she to have found such noble material, and it such an inspired transcriber!" Music is as necessary to the soldier's heart as bread is to his body, according to Owen Wister of Philadelphia, author and member of the Music Committee of the War Department Commission on Training "Camp Activities." Music is often spoken of as a luxury," he adds, "but it is not a luxury, even in time of peace." "It is probable that no battle was ever won by soldiers who did not sing." Mr. Wister declares. "When soldiers have been too exhausted to sing, just listening to music has put new life into them. Just such a case as I have in mind occurred during the retreat of the British before Mons in 1914. "The heavy fighting they had been through had proved too much for a certain contingent of troops. The men lay on the ground played out, indifferent and benumbed. The enemy was coming, but the men were too tired to care. Their commanding officer looked at them in despair. Commains and entreaties to march on were of no avail; the men refused to budge. "Near at hand was a toy shop which had been abandoned by the proprietor when the retreat began. The officer made for the shop and a moment later appeared with a toy drum and a tin whistle. Then, while he played the drum and Music Inspires the Soldier. --- diers took turns playing the whistle. The music from the drum and the whistle awakened the benumbed men, stiffened their legs and spirits to further effort, and they arose and marched ten miles to safety. "That is what music did in one case. In the mediaval age the Romans and Greeks had their battle songs, and even now our warriors sing in battle. It has helped to win many a victory. Indeed, music has played a brilliant part in the history of all great wars." SAPHO TO BE GIVEN BY LAFAYETTE STOCK CO. Another stupendous production of. alphonse Daudet's powerful novel Sapho will be given next week by the Lafayette Stock company. This is the play that made Olga Nethersole famous and which was the most talked of drama of the decade. The dramatization to be offered by the Lafayette Stock company of "Sapho" was made directly from the French version of the novel by Alphonse Daudet, and it is believed that nothing as yet has been shown on the Lafayette stage to equal this wonderful production. The story of the play is undoubtedly so well known to the patrons of the Lafayette Theatre, but. for the benefit of those who are not familiar with this world famous play, we will give a short synopsis. Fanny LeGrande is a Parisian courtesan who has been the plaything of most of the famous sculptors, artists and poets of France. At the opening of the play Dechellette, a young civil engineer, is giving a masquerade ball and Fanny is one of the guests. Here she sees for the first time Jean, a young student with whom she falls desperately in love. This time, however, fickle Fanny is genuinely in love, as the development of this wonderful drama later proves. Flamont, another love of Fanny, has become a forger in order to keep her in the manner she has been accustomed to. He is arrested at the ballroom while the dance is at its height. The party breaks up and Jean accompanies Fanny to her lodgings. At the base of the steps she complains of weariness. Jean moved by his youthful emotions passionately claps her in his strong arms and carries her up the stairs—where ensues a scene which has made "Sapho" the most talked of play of the century. Meanwhile the love affair between Jean and Fanny has attracted the attention of friends and relatives, and every effort is made to separate them but without avail. Jean is madly in love with her and cannot be persuaded to leave her. Her past history and methods which she employed with other men are brought to the attention of Jean, but his passion for her is so strong that he still remains with her until one day they have a violent quarrel and he finally leaves her. He remains away from her for a time, but cannot forget her, and one day he returns a broken man in health and spirit. He falls asleep on a couch in her room and Fanny, who has begun to realize that she is ruining the life and prospects of Jean leaves a note with him and departs with the intention of rejoining Flamont, who has been released from prison at the expiration of his sentence. It is safe to assert that there has never been a more powerful drama staged in years than "Sapho," nor one that has attracted the wide spread publicity and excited such interest. This play will show positively no more than one week, so reserve your seats now in order to avoid disappointment.
