GREATER NEW YORK OBSERVES NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK The New York Age IS CLEAN. CASE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOME - VOL. XXXL NO. 32. Four Meetings Held Sunday in Local Churches Dean William Pickens Makes Addresses at Abyssinian, Mt. Olivet, Mother Zion and Concord Baptist Churches to Large Audiences — Organizations in Manhattan and Brooklyn Cooperate to Make Health Week a Success. National Negro Health Week observance closed in Greater New York Sunday, with four large public meetings at which Dean William Pickens delivered addresses before large and enthusiastic audiences at Abyssinian Baptist Church in the morning. Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in the early afternoon; Mother A. M. E. Zion Church at 4:30, and Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, in the evening. Presiding at the morning meeting was Thomas W. Grigsby, president Southern Beneficial League. At Mt. Olivet Church Counselor Wilford Smith presided, at Mother Zion Church Assemblyman E. A. Johnson was master of ceremonies, and at Concord Church Dr. Laura M. Riegelman presided.

The health party which toured the city from meeting to meeting was composed of Dean Pickens, Dr. John Hope, president Morehouse College; Assemblman E. A. Johnson, Thomas Griggsby, Mrs. A. S. Keed, Dr. Laura M. Riegelman, John K. Shilahy, secretary National Advancement Association; N. B. Bodson, of the American Press Association, A. A. Taylor industrial secretary of the Urban League, and Fred R. Moore, editor of Tug Agr. The motor cars for the party were kindly loaned for the occasion by Mme. C. J. Walker and Mrs. Albert J. Erdmann, a member of the Executive Board of the New York Urban League. Says General Efficiency Is Needed. Speaking on "The Need of Advancing Our Negro Population in General Efficacy as Illustrated by the Great War," Mr. Pickens said: "This war ought to make plain to the mind of the duelist what the clearest-minded always knew: That all Americans, regardless of race or color, should be advanced to their highest efficiency, physical, intellectual and moral. We do not need a big nation with a superior class, but we need a whole big superior people, with every man developed to his best manhood. On that Western European front we need not only superior guns, but a superior man behind every gun of the last fifty years, we should have been making our own our real Americans, the best men they are capable of becoming, instead of allowing jealousy and blindness to set bounds and limitations to their self-development. Look at France and Flanders where the red and wavering line stretches for hundreds of miles as the only present bulwark of civilization against barbarity. On one section of that precious line are black Americans. They are a link in that chain. If one link breaks, the flood comes in. Cannot even the fool now understand that those colored Americans need to be the physical and intellectual equals of the assulting German? For fifty years we have allowed a certain influence in this country to almost deliberately plan to make those black men the inferiores of the enemy against whom they now stand. We have been asleep. Let us now awake to the plain that the Negro is an element in our civilization and a link in our chain. And that, he is something more than a Negro; he is a vital tenth of the American man resources. "We Americans have always wanted the best machine to the best machines and the best money in the world. We can now see that when the supreme test of a civilization comes, it must have also the best men on earth, white, black and brown. And we can thank God from the bottom of our hearts for such agencies as the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, which by their efforts of uprift against great odds have kept our colored population from being now a plain millstone about our taxes. For the present spirit and power of the bronze-clad men in black are the direct result of those educational institutions and philanthropic organizations The New York Age whose work has been disreduced by the short-sighted but we still have the future before us. And it is a sorry man or an unfortunate nation that is not wiser today than on yesterday." Health Experts Give Lectures. The spring drive for better health, held in New York City during the week of April 21, was a big success. Never before has the National Urban League had such hearty co-operation as this year, when practically all the organizations existing in Greater New York for Negro welfare, contributed in carrying out the work of the New York the importance of obeying the laws of Nature and using every precaution in decreasing the disease and death rate of the city. The Department of Health furnished the League with health experts who lectured to large crowds at various sections of the city. Dr. Charles S. Bolhman, director of the Department of Health Education, led an enthusiastic round-table discussion in "Patent Medicines," held by the Manhattan Medical Association, an organization of leading colored physicians of New York City. At Lincoln House, in the Columbus Hill section. Dr. Jacob Sobel, from the Department of Health, delivered a stereoticon lecture on "Baby Welfare." Dr. Gladstone A. Hinkson spoke at Lincoln Mission in Brooklyn on health. At Public School No. 59, officials from the Street Cleaning Department lectured on "The Advantages and Disadvantages of Clean and Dirty Streets," illustrating their talk with motion pictures—this meeting held under the auspices of the Negro Civic Improvement League, with Dr. Allen D. Wood presiding. From practically every pulpit throughout the city was the gospel of perfect health preached—a uniform text being used by every minister. Supplementing this, Dr. Godfrey Nurse and Dr. Albert S. Reed of the Manhattan Medical Associations, delivered health addresses at of the prominent churches. Dr. E. P. Renshaw also spoke on health after the regular sermon at one of the churches. Dr. S. Dana Hubbard, of the Health Department, lectured on "Concerned Dementia at the Age of Senior Church, and in Brooklyn Dr. Richard Birnie emphasized better health after the sermon in one of the leading churches. The agencies co-operating in this health movement included the Hope Day Nursery, Charity Organization Society, White Rose Home, Home for Working Girls, Empire Friendly Shelter, Young Women's Christian Association, Sojourner Truth House, Mothers' Club of Brooklyn, New York Colored Mission, Lincoln Mission, Brooklyn, Sons of Virginia, Brooklyn, Frederick Douglass Community Centre, Brooklyn; Columbus Hill Civic League, Southern Beneficial League, United Civic League, Negro Civic Improvement League, Lincoln House, Lincoln Settlement, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association, Pro klyn Young Women's Christian Association, College Men's Round Table, Hudson Avenue Mission, Brooklyn Women's Charity Club, Music School Settlement, Manhattan Medical Association, Provident Medical Association, Brooklyn, Sons of North Carolina, Brooklyn, Christmas Stocking Club, National Urban League, and the New York Urban League CHANGE OF DATE FOR WOMEN TO ENROLL Mrs. Annie K. Lewis calls attention to the fact that the representatives of the Woman Suffrage party have been successful at Albany in their endeavors to have the date of enrollment changed from the 18th to the 25th of May. The change was deemed advisable because the 18th is a Jewish holiday. On May 25 then, women voters may enroll in order to vote in the party primaries to help elect suitable candidates for office, and to assist in the choosing of men and women who are to serve on the committees of the political parties. SEGREGATE RACES AT (Special to THE NEW YORK AU. NEWPORT NEWS, VA.-The Y. M. C. A. auditorium at Camp Hill was recently opened, and the Stevoret Band, which has been organized just three weeks, furnished musical selections to the delight of the colored and white soldiers. To the surprise and humiliation of the stevedore and labor organizations, the Y. M. C. A. segregated the races, putting the colored men on one side and the white men on the other. This is being done despite the fact that the colored men are preparing to give their lives if necessary "to help make the world safe for democracy." TUSKEGEE TO TRAIN (Special to THE NEW YORK AQUA.) TUSKEGEE, Ala.-Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, has announced that Tuskegee Institute has been selected by the War Department as a training school for Negro technicians.

BALLOU NOT UNDERSTOOD Lieut. T. T. Thompson Writes in Defense of General of 92nd Division Writer Says General Ballou Has Never Countenanced "Jim Crowism"—Ordered Judge Advocate to Proceed Against Owner of Theatre. Lieut. T. T. Thompson, assistant personnel officer of the 92nd Division, has written a letter to Turt Ace asserting that the motives that prompted General Ballou to issue Bulletin No. 35 have been misunderstood, and that the order was not issued in recognition of any segregation laws nor as a measure of approval of such discriminations. Following is Lieutenant Thompson's communication to THE ACE: The discussion of Bulletin 35, Headquarters 92nd Division National Army, in a recent issue of his paper, does so much injustice to General Ballou that I am taking the liberty to present herewith some facts and observations which I hope you will publish—not in extenuation of bulletin 35 or in defense of its author or in apology for the pro-muligation of the order, this is unnecessary—but rather because it is clear that you have failed to understand the situation such excess and the motives that prompted the advance of the bulletin Presuming that you are willing to look at both sides of the question and that you would not willfully place General Ballou in a false light before your readers, permit me to itemize a few incontrovertible facts and at the same time to assure you that like yourself, I stand for the fullest liberty of every man, woman and child, and especially for the rights of American citizens now denied to our race to which we are entitled by every consideration of right and justice. 1. Bulletin 35 was not issued in recognition of any segregation laws or practices of local communities, nor was it issued as a measure of approval of a governmental institution in the mind of the author of that bulletin when it was issued. Proof: on the same day that the bulletin was issued, the Commanding General ordered the Judge Advocate of the 92nd Division to proceed to the town where the incident occurred and institute proceed- (Continued on page two) sent on their way in high spirits.

The crime was an especially atrocious one, as it was claimed that the girl was first rendered unconscious by being drugged and then criminally assaulted by the four men of the evening of April 17, after she had been induced to enter Williams' room under some trumped up pretence. were discharged as sufficient evidence had not been produced to show they were implicated. However, it was not disputed but that they had knowledge of the crime. Williams was held for the grand jury in $1,500 bail. The girl's parents are dead, and she was brought from the South a short while ago by her old grandparents who just two days before the rape, rented rooms from Williams, whom they did not know, but to whom they had been sent for accommodations. Williams is an usher in the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, and lives with his blind wife and son in an apartment at 249 West 53rd street. His rooming house is looked after by his housekeeper. As all of the men are well known in New York, the court room was packed with colored people interested in the outcome of the trial. The girl was removed to Bellevue Hospital, and the serious condition of her case was testified to at the trial by the physician who attended her in the hospital. street and proceeded to the 34th street ferry, where they took the Long Island train for Camp Upton.

Thomas Nigwosha has received a letter from Brigadier General Grote Hutchinson sitting that the killing of little Sarah Washington by a sentinel stationed near Government property would be investigated. "The unfortunate incident," writes Brigadier General Hutchinson, "has been brought to my attention and I deeply regret its occurrence.

Moss, George Gordon Bathe, Dana Willis, Dickens, Police Commissioner Enright, Mrs. Alexander Walters, Mr. Comstock of the Liberty Loan Association and Mr. Leech of the Metropolitan Court.

WHITMAN SPEAKS "Doubt as to the fighting qualities of the colored man never came into our minds," said Gov. Whitman at the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church at a meeting held Thursday evening, April 25, in honor of Assemblyman Edward A. Johnson. "The country belongs to you just as much as anybody else." Gov. Whitman continued. "The extension of suffrage to women gives to the colored people a tremendous responsibility in this state. I congratulate you on the strength of character you give to your community and on your wisdom displayed in sending our first representative to the state legislature in the person of E. A. Johnson, a man with a character and integrity beyond question. I appreciate the activities in which you are engaged with the purpose of helping to win the war. "Behind your fighting young men, you must put the spirit of loyalty and devotion. Get behind the men who are behind the guns. A man's generosity is not shown by what he gives but by what he has left. We are not fighting for the possession of territory or for revenge but for the liberty for which our fathers fought and died. It is a right for the holy cause of human emancipation, and that the liberty purchased with human blood shall not be dragged into the dust." Wiley G. Overton, chairman of the meeting, presented A. D. Pryton, president of the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, who in turn presented George H. White, ex-Congressman from North Carolina, as master of ceremonies. The Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of the Bridge street A. M. E. Church, said: "Not only are we going to fight for a world-wide democracy, but we are going to fight for it in America. We are proud of our military record, proud of our loyalty. The war is not going to be settled until we have a lot to do with it." Assemblyman Johnson, the guest of honor, made a calm, dispassionate plea for all that stains for Americanism. Among other things he said: "We are fighting for a real, true democracy, not a Kentucky, Alabama or North Carolina democracy, but a democracy for the world." (Special to Tina New York Aox.) Washington, D. C.—At the conclusion of the conference last week in the American Federation of Labor Building between committee representing the Federation and a committee representing the colored workers of the country, Samuel Gompers stated in three weeks the Executive Council would meet and undoubtedly consider the important question of organizing colored workers to make a report to the convention in June. Mr. Gompers further stated that if Negroes believed that the American Federation of Labor was sincere in its desire to organize colored workers a statement should be issued through all channels available by colored people urging race workers to organize. As an evidence of the Federation's sincere desire to take colored workers into unions, Mr. Gompers and his associates agreed to appoint an additional colored organizer, whose selection is to be determined by Negroes. The committee representing the colored workers was requested to prepare a statement suggesting some working bass on which both sides can agree, which will be submitted to the Executive Council for approval. The representatives of the American Federation of Labor were outspoken in their desire to unionize the colored laboring man. Mr. Gompers recounted some of the work done in organizing race workers and declared that the particular matter for the conference was now best to organize them.

The head of the American Federation of Labor said that the resolution introduced at Buffalo last summer regarded the organization of Negro workers was but of apprehension of the support given by Negros in a recent strike in San Francisco. Reference was made to the number of local unions of railroad helpers and laborers' unions, eleven of the seventy-six organized in the past year being colored unions, as follows: West Virginia, 2; Texas, 3; Oklahoma, 1; North Carolina, 2; Mississippi, 1, Alabama, 1; Gorgua, 1. These unions will be organized into an international union and the delegates will meet in St. Louis on May 27. Mr. O'Connell referred at length to the trying experiences he had had in organizing colored workers at Newport News, Va. The number of organizers who had been placed there, and kept there for practically two years without results, as representatives of the federation, met so much outside influence—president, doctors, fraternal societies, etc. Mr. O'Connell urged that the colored men present at the conference use their influence in giving a broad, liberal explanation of their views of the necessity for colored workers to organize under the A. E. of The speaker referred to the difficulty in organizing some trades direct into the international union, in which cases they were organized into separate unions directly affiliated with the Federation. He referred to the fight he made in his own organization, the machinists, in order to have colored workers accepted into membership. Dr. R. R. Moton said he had been brought to realize that the American Federation of Labor was not hostile to the Negro, but that this fact was not generally known among his people. It was at the suggestion of Fred R. Moore that the Federation issue a statement clearly defining its position as to admitting the colored worker into the union, that Mr. Gompers and his associates promised to do so in the near future. Officials of the American Federation of Labor assert that their sentiments on unionizing colored workmen may be found in the following quotation printed conspicuously in one of their pamphlets: "I rejoice at every effort of workingmen to organized. I hail the labor movement. It is my only hope for democracy. Organize and stand together. Let the nation hear a union demand from the laboring voice."—Wendell Phillips.

J.—The officers and men of the 349th and 350th Artillery regiments are said to be somewhat downcast over the difficulty encountered in recruiting the two regiments up to war strength and the poor showing recently made by colored officers sent to Camp Sill, Okla., to attend the school of fire. Over fifteen hundred men are said to be needed to bring the two regiments to their full quota. The 350th Field Artillery, Col. Fred Austen, regiment commander, has 950 men, and the 350th Field Artillery, Col. Dan T. Moore, regimental commander, has less than 200 hundred men. Only six of the twenty-four colonel officers sent to Fort Sill from Camp Dix were successful in their final examinations which poor showing is attributed to the failure of War Department officials to give instructions in the artillery branch of the service at Camp Des Moines last summer. Although it was originally intended that the candidates for commissions at Camp Des Moines be schooled in both artillery and infantry branches, only the latter was taught. Colored officers have assigned to the artillery regiments found themselves at a decided disadvantage, for the knowledge received at Camp Des Moines especially fitted them for infantry regiments. It is said that despite repeated requests for additional men to increase the numerical strength of the two regiments in question, very little support has been received from the War Department to date. Some deeply interested in the success of these regiments present to see an apathetic attitude toward the organization of colored artillery regiments and are somewhat alarmed over the situation, fearing that the original plan to make Negroes artillerymen will be abandoned. All of the captains in the two military regiments at Camp Dix are white men, and it is said that in the artillery regiment at Camp Mende, some of the lieutenants are white. Sir Lefroy later wrote that he has the War Department seen fit to design Negroes to the artillery brigade of the service. BALTIMORE Bonds Bought at the Mining Hold at Monday M.E.

This con- JOHNSON on the MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMERONETTE, W. Va.—Attendee who men high in the official, business and political life of the State, funeral services for Philip H. Weters, assistant clerk of the Supreme Court of Agua- nia, who was insidiously killed by falling out of a window, were conducted at the Simpson Memorial Church in Shreve- berry street. The funeral was one of the largest held in the city in recent years. Featuring the church services, after which the body was laid to rest in Springhill Cemetery, were addressed by former Governor George Wesley Attkinson, President George Puffenbarger, of the Supreme Court of Appeals, T. G. Nutter, Charleston lawyer, and the Rev. S. H. Brown, of Harpers Ferry District, Washington conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. All the state department heads except Gov. John J. Cornwall, who had been called to Tucker County in the interests of the Third Liberty Loan campaign, were in attendance at the funeral services, together with members and former members of the court, Clerk William B. Mathews and attaches of the offices of that tribunal, and members of the bar from Charleston and other cities. One of the finest tributes to the departed was that of former Governor Atkinson, who said: "He was, in a sense, the friend of everyone he knew, and was the enemy of none. His entire life was strenued with kindly acts and deeds toward everyone. * * * When Phil Waters' life went out many of our people mourned, and many of them are weeping now. * * * Judge Poffenbarger paid an equally high tribute to the man. He spoke of him particularly with regard to his work in the offices of the court, where, he said, he was familiar with every detail of every duty, and where he was always at the command of his chief of the members of the court, of visiting members of the bar, and of all others who sought service, information or friendly offices. Mr. Nutter's address was eloquent in words of admiration and of praise. The speaker referred, at length to the traits of the man as a friend and a companion, and as one who had done much to help young men along the pathway of life. Mr. Brown told of the days when he and Waters were schoolmates and college chums. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. W. C. Thompson, pastor of Simpson Church, assisted by the Rev. I. N. Patterson, pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church. A beautiful feature of the service was the singing of "The Rosary" by Miss Maud Wenner. The junior choir of the church sang "Lead.

MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLE- MENT UNDER NEGROES The Music School Settlement, 4 and 6 West 131st street, was organized in 1912 and granted an absolute charter by the Board, of Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1915. Until February 1, 1918, the membership of the board of directors was mixed, consisting of white and colored members. Under their leadership and management the music school has grown to its present state of efficiency and usefulness and has made itself felt as a very vital part of our community. Grim war, however, has called many of its directors to the colors, and has drawn, others into the noble work of war relief. This has resulted in such a distinct loss to the life of the school that it became necessary to create a new board of directors. The music school has just issued an attractive folder, which speaks of its activities and contains a list of offices, directors and advisory committee. On April 21st a meeting was held in the settlement at which speeches were made by F. B. Wain P. Hayes the Rev. A. C. Cillitt, and Dr. W. L. B. Dr. B. Cillitt, and Dr. W. Wain the treasurer of the settlement. The meeting was attended by a large number of people, including many of the residents of the settlement. The meeting was held in the town hall of the settlement, and the speeches were delivered in front of the town hall. The speeches were delivered in a formal and respectful manner, and the meeting was well attended. The meeting was a success, and the speeches were well received. ```markdown ``` Jayne n.

Unstood" (Continued from previous page) ings against the power of the theatre and to warn him that all discriminations against any soldier of this command because of races would be prosecuted promptly. (b) In all the score of years in which General Ballou has commanded Negro troops there are none who can or will tealify that he has ever stood for discrimination against his men or even countenance, by silence. On the other hand he has gone much farther that the white commanding officer usually does not protect his soldiers against mistreatment. This fact is witnessed by many colored officers now in the 2nd Division who formerly served as privates and non-coms under General Ballou. This fact is further witnessed by white citizens situated near camps where this officer has commanded troops (colored). About the first thing General Ballou has always done when assigned to command of colored troops and stationed near a town or city, has been to establish a working basis between his colored troops and the white people of the surrounding community or town. This basis is established for the best interests of the citizens and soldiers alike. Based outline-highest consideration of mutual interests and good will, the onzens are given to understand that they must not mistreat his soldiers, because they are Negroes, and his soldiers are made to understand that they are not to oversteep the bounds of propriety because they are soldiers. (c) The masterful tact and sound judgment of General Baldou has long been recognized by the authorities at the head of the War Department as well, as by the thoughtful people of his own race. If he had been in command of the 24th at Brownsville, there would have been no such fearful outbreak as occurred there. If he or such a man as he had been in command of the 24th in Houston last August there would have been no such fearful repetition of the Brownsville riot. If he had been in command of the troops sent to protect the Negroes of East St. Louis during that riot, there would not have occurred such a slaughter of innocent Negroes until he had exhausted every means at hand to prevent it. Ordor Issued as a Camp Measure. 2. Bulletin 35 was issued with no intention of arousing or intensifying race prejudice, but as a camp measure to avoid, this identical thing. We have thousands of colored soldiers who may leave camp with permission. When he leaves camp he becomes subject to civil law. As a soldier, he is bound by certain duties as a soldier he has certain rights. It is his duty to conform to the laws of the community, whether he is in Kansas, Texas or France. As a soldier he should not insist upon the gratification of pride which would involve thousands of his follows in racial antagonism and which if followed up would utterly lead away from the main object and purpose. Even the Negro soldier must realize that he faces a condition not a theory. The Commanding General cann follow every colored soldier who leaves camp and see the home institution lower in the city. Negroes who had graduated in that camp from all parts of the Union to receive training as army officers. There had been grave apprehensions in the city of Dea Moises that these Negro soldiers, new to the uniform, intelligent, proud and high-minded, would obtrude their presence into civilian places where Negroes had not gone heretofore. The men heeded the advic of General Balloy to stay away from places where they were not wanted. In a few weeks the apprehension changed into genuine respect. It became apparent that impulse of a lot of educated Negroes with misconceptions and ideas of, forcing themselves upon white society, they were a set of gentlemen with positive ideas of self-esteem and respect for others. The result was that before the end of the four months the regiment had made such a favorable impression that they were not able to meet the invitations extended to them. from many of the same people who had at first feared that the men of the regiment would obtrude their presence upon them. Where a man goes or what a man does within his rights and without encoaching upon the rights of others, is after all, a matter of individual taste. But it may be laid down as a rule that the 'mah' who goes where, he is not wanted when his staying away from such places does not entail any material depreciation of his rights as a citizen, injures his own self-respect and thereby lowers himself in the respect of others. Several months ago the Commanding General of the American Expeditionary Forces in France issued an order forbidding officers and men of the American forces-from visiting Paris. No one thought of the order as being issued as a measure of enforcing race segregation or in support of any race prejudice, but as an order issued in the interests of the military forces, for the good of the army and in furtherance of the main object and purpose of the American forces at this time. Similarly every military camp orders issues to its soldiers forbidding them from frequenting places the visiting of which would be subversive to the best interests of the army. These measures are absolutely essential to the welfare of the military establishment and to its existence with a minimum of friction with the public. With highest regards, I beg to remain T. T.

Various straws gathered from the news columns of The Age have to show how the wind blows at the attitude of the Negro race toward the Third Liberty Loan, upon the subscription of the North American Mutual and Provident Association, representing a total investment by that organization of 1000 in Liberty bonds, to the national subscriptions secured by the local branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, all members of our people and many others have responded to the call. Examples of this response are contained in all parts of the country. Utica, New York, reports that quarter of the race population have subscribed for bonds. In Houston, Texas, ninety-eight per cent of the colored employees of the international Great Northern Railway Company purchased bonds. At Houston, Pa., each of the Odd Felons and Elks lodges took a $100 the pioneer Negro town in the country, Mound Bayou, Miss., went on the top by subscribing $18,250 more than an hour after the campaign, exceeding the quota and be it of $13,500. The subscriptions by the Knights of Pythias and Indiana brought out the follow-ings from Secretary of the country William G. McAdoo: "I am proud of the colored Knights of Pythias of Florida, for their contributions of $25,000, and for the institution of the colored people of Indiana in their loyal support throughout the country to the Library Lem as well as to the nation, and in their great war for freedom and democracy." On Washington Evening Star, must widely read and influen- ce paper published at the National mail, commenting on this letter, There need be no uneasiness on the score of the colored man. On the contrary, there should be a sense of genuine satisfaction in the fact that he is here, and a dependable us- sual a time when the country ex- cells all citizens, regardless of col- creed or condition, to support the government with both blood and murder as the arbitration of the world, appealed to in a world, near the measure of recognition thus accorded the response of the to the call of petitionism should decline us to rest on our own, we should upon us on to greater attention to uphold the hands of the Government in the struggle just beginning. There is yet time for those who have not subscribed to enroll among defenders of the country. Money is as necessary to the fight of men. If you cannot fight your own, let your money fight for you. the establishment of discrimination based on color in the work of the American Red Cross and the Young Men's Christian Association, both at home and abroad. Where specific instances of such discrimination are not cited, it is possible that the reports may be a part of the enemy's scheme to incite dissatisfaction and resentment among the element said to suffer from this discrimination. But in view of the widespread character of these reports and certain well founded instances that might serve to corroborate them, an authoritative investigation and statement of policy would at least clear the air. Both of these national organizations are inspired with too noble aims and are performing too great service in this great struggle to have the equity and justice of their dealings be under suspicion. There are many individuals in both organizations who in their personal capacity would resent any policy that savored of discrimination on account of race or color. But so far the central authority has failed to make any public pronouncement when such matters have been brought before it, as in the case of the "Black cross" pamphlets in the South. But let us bring the whispered matters to the light of day. The Red Cross is charged with refusing to include colored nurses in the contingent sent abroad for service, or of allowing them to serve in this country; of failing to include colored soldiers in the distribution of articles contributed for the use and benefit of the army, although colored women have been solicited to work in the interest of the organization. The Y. M. C. A. is charged with barring Negroes at certain cantonments and army camps from admission to the huts or tents; although the special hut of the so-called Colored Y. M. C. A. was located miles away. This last charge was substantiated by a visitor at Camp Lee, Virginia, who testified as to the inadequacy of the Y. M. C. A: accommodations for the Negro soldiers and the fact that absolutely no service was afforded them at white buildings, not even a postage stamp or a drink of water. And this despite the fact that white soldiers were afforded every service and courtesy at the colored building. If any of these charges of discrimination are not well founded, let the fact be established. Unfortunately enough is established to put the whole system of dealing with the race under suspicion. If the other part is due to enemy propaganda, let it be met with a vigorous denial from an authorized head. Let the light be thrown on the official policy of these two great organizations, and let a broader spirit of service for humanity prevail in their administration. It should be borne in mind that this is a struggle for a wider democracy, in which all races are enlisted. A NEW PARTY'S PLANK. Party platforms are said by the cynical to be constructed as a means of entrance into office. But sometimes they may represent a sincere sentiment on the part of their advocates. The newly organized National party, in its recent convention held at Chicago, adopted a Negro plank, a thing so unfashionable in modern politics as to deserve more than passing notice. The plank reads: "We demand enforcement of the laws which give the right to vote to American citizens of Negro descent, and, in order that they and others may be fitted to vote intelligent, we advocate federal aid to common school education, to be distributed among sections in proportion to the amount of illiteracy." This was not in the original tentative platform. The National party is composed of Progressive partyites, Socialists, Singletakers and Prohibitionists, a number of the latter having joined it, after failing to effect a union of the parties at the Prohibition national convention. A couple of weeks ago we inquired as to the unity of K. Lamity, writing in the Harpoon of Texas, Mr. K. Lamity—I don't see why he doesn't come right out and spell it C-a-m-i-t-y—seemed to be of the opinion that the Negro was not exactly a human being; that he has been since the creation nothing but a "conscienceless savage"; that the world from its beginning has been indebted to what we now know as the white man for everything pertaining to civilization. We felt that Mr. K. Lamity ought to have, at least, the opportunity of learning better, so we pointed out to him that the Negro was the first to discover and practice the principles of religion, poetry, music, sculpture, and of the various handicrafts. We showed him how the torch of civilization has been passed from the hands of peoples to peoples; first to those around the edge of the Mediterranean, then on to those in Europe and then Northern Europe; how civilization has only within the last five hundred years come into the hands of the pure white people, and how they have at present made quite a mess of it. We tried to impress on him that the Negro, as the pioneer, deserves as much credit as the peoples who afterwards carried civilization forward, just as the man who first thought out the bow and arrow deserves as much credit as the man who invented the seventy-mile gun. We also ventured to say to him that as all things in the universe move in a circle, the darker races may again become the custodians of civilization. Of course, we did not expect that Mr. K. Lamity would learn anything from all this, because we put him down as an unredeemable heathen who will continue to rage. Now comes the Rev, Arthur R, Gray, D, D, writing in The Churchman, the mouthpiece of the Episcopal Church, and setting forth that the United States is a white man's country, that the Negro can never really become an American citizen, that the solution of the whole problem is to colonize the Negro in Haiti. The Rev. Mr. Gray is using arguments only a little less antiquated than those used by Mr. K. Lamity. K. Lamity harks back to an age when the controversy over the Negro was as to whether or not he had a human soul; Gray harks back to an age when time was wasted in discussing exportation to Africa as a means of solving the problem. Long ago the Negro himself reduced the Kalamity theory to an absurdity; and long ago actual conditions showed the Gray theory to be impracticable and impossible. Mr. Gray, after lamenting the "ever memorable blunder" of bringing the African to this country as a slave, opens his article as follows: And so I would thrust under your nose this enigma for the purpose of awakening you to the crushing fact that there is a way which is blessedly free from theorizing and entirely concerned with facts. I say a partial solution for it only pretends to accomplish a certain amount of what has to be done; but as we have learned from our cradles half the job is in the starting. To put it in prescription-like brevity this is the theme. I have to develop: Haiti is the beginning to the solution of the Negro problem; by concentrating on work in that island the Church can accomplish more for our brethren than in any other way. We should ask if it is only from the habitual use of church phraseology that the Rev. Mr. Gray refers to the Negro as "our brethren?" Our good brother then goes on to state that the problem is not the problem of the Black Man but of the White Man. In a word, his explanation is that there is a problem not because the Black Man moves so slowly, but because the White Man moves so fast. This is a rather subtle distinction, but we let it pass. He then comes to the main point of his article, which is this: The second point I want to make is that whatever efforts are, put forth to solve this secondary problem, one must remember that the United States is a White Man's country. Japan is for the Japanese, China is for the Chinese, Africa is for Africans, and America is for the Anglo-Saxons. Our saying so doesn't make it so because God had the determination of this matter long before our vocables came into use. There is no use blinking and talking about the homes of the free, etc., for that is merely a drop back again into anointing facts with theories; into putting, let us say, chloroform limiment on a major fracture. K. Lamity away down in benighted Texas might be excused, for making God Almighty a part of the generally accepted "Southern plan of creation," but not so with an enlightened churchman. It is strange how all of these people who have some plan concerning the Negro that is contrary to humanitarian and Christian principles always lug God in. It is also strange that they cannot see that the god to whom they refer is a mighty poor sort of a god in which to put any trust; for his plans are always going wrong, and it requires the constant vigilance and help of such weak mortals as K. Lamity and the Rev. Mr. Gray to see that these "immutable plans" are carried out at all. K. Lamity talks in grandiose language about "the great gulf fixed between the races by God Almighty at the foundation of the world" and does so in face of the fact that, perhaps, more than half the colored people in this country have the blood of both races in their veins. The Rev. Mr. Gray talks authoritatively about God's determination of having "Japan for the Japanese, China for the Chinese, Africa for the Africans, and America for the Anglo-Saxons." The obvious omission in the Rev. gentleman's disclosure of the divine will is that he does not say what God intended for the American Indian. But let us leave God out of the whole questionable business and ask, if the white people believe that China should be for the Chinese and Africa for the Africans, why don't they leave them so? Of course, they are leaving Japan for the Japanese, but no credit for that can be given to the God they talk about, the credit is due to the fact that the Japanese have learned how to kill men in the modern way. These people are of the class known as reformers, and must at least be credited with sincerity in their doctrines. While their progress may not be as spectacular as that of the Progressives with Theodore Roosevelt as their standard bearer, their career will bear watching. Signs of the times are the substitution of the phrase, "a Hooverized luncheon" for the familiar "elegant collation" or "sumptuous repest," that follows the meeting of the sewing circle or the installation of officers. Nothing like adapting oneself to cir- nunity, that the United States is a White Man's country, and that the Black Man has no right to any other rights here than those the White Man may see fit to mete out to him. In the first place, the land did not belong to either the White Man or the Black Man; if we go back to "God's plans," we should be compelled to admit that no far as we know the land belonged to the Indian. So whatever title the White Man has to the land is not based upon finding something which no owner claimed, it is based upon force and robbery. Let us also admit that the Black Man helped the White Man to take the land from the Indian. The White Man came over as a freeman and the Black Man as a slave, but they have been here practically the same length of time. The Black Man bases his title upon his help in the conquest of the land, and upon three hundred years of labor in which he has helped to develop its resources and one hundred and fifty years of loyalty in which he has helped to fight its battles. That constitutes a better title than can be rightfully claimed by a very large number of white men. But whatever may be the theories of K. Lamity or A. Gray, the bald fact stands out that the Negro is in this country, and he is here twelve million strong. All the talk about getting rid of him by exportation or in other way is a waste of breath. The Negro is not going away for the simple reason that he does not want to. He intends to work out his salvation right here. And suppose he was willing to go, say to Haiti, who has given the Rev. Mr. Gray or anybody else the right to dump twelve million colored Americans upon the Haitians? Let us suggest to Mr. Gray that he throw aside his doctrine of mere might making right and try and find a solution of this problem in common justice and Christian charity. Mr. Gray's heart, however, is filled with some sort of sanctimonious sympathy for these poor black brethren who can never be at home in this land, and he says: This at once suggests the serious handicap under which such schools as St. Paul's, Lawrenceville and St. Augustine's, Raleigh, and Hampton and Tuskegee labor. To what can they point their graduates beyond participation as guests in the progress and good things of America? How would Groton feel if it knew that none of its graduates could ever really be at home in-the land? Every time this thought strikes me I want to go literally down on my knees and pray for noble leaders like Archdeacon Russell and, Archdeacon Delaney and many another man of God who finds himself in their position. We wonder if it has ever occurred to him what Archdeacon Russell and Archdeacon Delaney must sometime think of men like him. AN INSPIRING ARTICLE. The current issue of Collier's contains an article entitled "Making Soldiers in Dixie," which everybody in the country ought to read and which will prove an inspiration to white and colored alike. We quote just one paragraph from the article, so that you will make up your mind to get it and read it, and then pass it on: Come with me to an officer's mess hall the next day. There is a shout outside: "Hey! Look what's coming!" We step outside. Down the road, thump-thump, thump-thump, comes that same battalion of Negro soldiers in full marching order. These soldiers from the mills and cotton fields are on their way to France. The whole camp knows it; the whole camp is grave, quiet. Thump-thump, thump-thump! There is no sound in all that great cantonment save the beat of marching feet and the creaking of packs. The black men know they are on their way abroad. They are a solemn-looking lot. A minister steps out to the edge of the embankment overlooking the road down which the troops are marching, and calls out shakily: "Good-by, boys. God bless you! God take care of you, boys!" A big Mississippiian, standing near, swore growing under his breath, gulped and cried. "I'm done talking against niggers," he declared huskily. "Those boys have been damn fine soldiers here, an' if they ever get back from France, I'm big enough to lick any man who don't give 'em a square deal." There is no estimating the good that this article will do. There is a great deal more to it, and a great many people will see it because Collier's has such a wide circulation. THE SIMPLE REMEDY. Last week the grand jury completed its labors at Edwardsville, Ill., which is charged with investigating the lynching of the alleged pro-German; Prager, at Collinsville a short while ago. As a result of the investigation, twelve civilians have so far been indicted for murder and four policemen charged with malfeasance in office. The indictments charging murder are against five men who have been under arrest since the coroner's inquest and seven others who had not yet been arrested. Even this is not the end of the investigation, and it is probable that a number of others who took part in the lynching will be indicted in the next week or so. The indictments against the four policemen charge them with failing to disperse the mob and failing to call on citizens for assistance and for failing to arrest any one when Prager was being assaulted before the hanging. Up to this point the only remedy that will ever have any effect on lynching has been faithfully carried out. It is now up to the citizens of the community who will be on the jury that will try these indicted men. Will the county be able to secure a sufficient number of men who will render a verdict in accordance with the law, regardless of all else? That is the question on which the whole matter of abolishing lynching hangs. If the machinery of the law will indict men who are guilty of lynching and a jury will convict them and the sheriff will execute them, lynching will cease to be a national pastime. And yet, there is a still better way; and that is to avoid lynchings. Any brave sheriff with a sense of his duty and a determination to perform it together with a couple of deputies of like mind can stop any mob that was ever gathered together. Because a lynching mob, by the very fact that it is a mob, is a crowd of individual cowards; such a crowd faced by a determined officer of the law who will do his duty even if he has to kill somebody, immediately ceases, to be a mob and becomes individual cowards again.

White-capping, taring and feathering, lybching and other kinds of lawlessness are not the right and proper means to inspire and maintain the loyalty of American citizens and, however natural is the growing intensity of anger toward pro-Germans in the United States, these outbreaks should be curbed at once. To tolerate the mob is to let down the bars to the practice of injustice against the innocent Mobs are invariably cruel and if we are to permit them to take in the punishment of traitors not many months will pass before we shall have numerous cases of atrocity not less abhorrent to self-respecting men than have been the vilest excesses of the Prussians themselves. The United States has not been invaded; ninety-five out of a hundred of its citizens are loyal; they have the machinery and the power of government, and they have no excuse for the setting aside of their own laws to inflict a barbarous revenge even upon the sneaking enemies of the Republic. The Federal Government, however, should begin to recognize the necessity of a more expeditious enforcement of the law against the disloyal. The manifestations of the mob spirit are doubled due in the main to impatience and to the spread of the notion that the legal machinery is dilatory and slow in its working. When so moderate and dispassionate a citizen as ex-President Taft tells the people of Oklahoma that "spies should be courtmartialed, lined up and their citizenship ended by bullets, that those who express treasonable sentiments should be tried and punished," the inference is plain that he believes that the execution of the laws is not so swift as the times demand. He urges that the laws be obeyed and that the mob be condemned, so that "the United States may not sink to the lawless surgery of the Germans," but his language is a plain hint to the government that a sterner course than it has been permitting will be required to save the dignity of the law and respect it from degenerating in public opinion.

The celebrated Indian says there has been a training of sentiment on the social race question in America in six months, and predicts that persons will continue to improve until a few years ago Mr. Willis was a commissioned officer in 8th Illinois, now "Somewhere France," and he is watching the moments of the colored troopers in more interest than is usually played by the average civilian.

I attended the movies the other evening and was being satisfactorily entertained until a picture was put on which had been taken by the national Screen Magazine. The movie the mounted New York police in action and all was due to life and interesting until the finally feature of the picture was flashed. When the police were shown in act of arresting a woman colored who had made a midnight raid a chicken-house in the country. Through this piece of screen business was designed to make people feel. I did not hear as much as a boy.

If this firm really wants to educate the public and give a better understanding relative to our industry people and things, it would be performing a valuable service by depicting the Negro of today in a favorable light. If the Universal Screen Magazine believes in one-hundred percent Americanism and is sincere in its aim to faithfully portray all Americans, I respectfully suggest that steps at once be taken to acquaint the general public with facts concerning progressive colored people—native citizens who would reflect more credit on America and Americans than the clown and thief. That the State-police who are paid by the colored and white taxpayers should be a party to this disgraceful incident is indeed surprising and the part they played ought not escape the attention of Governor Whitman. However, the worst offenders were the colored men who were so lacking in self respect as to pose as chicken thieves for a few paltry dollars. It is too bad their identity is not known. Newspapers have done more to give the American public a distorted idea of one-tenth of its population than any other agency. If it is the mission of the Universal Screen Magazine to reproduce real life on the reel, it is befitting that it stick to facts instead of wandering into the realms of imagination, where base misrepresentation oftimes lurks in the guise of "comedy." AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE The most vital and moral lesson, ever propounded in expurgated form of the social evil known as the White Slave traffic, undoubtedly the greatest menace to the safety of our American girlhood and wifehood, is presented in "The House of Bondage." This play is a dramatization of Reginald Wrights Kaufman's famous novel, to be presented by the Quality 'Amusement Corporation's talented artists. The play, as well as the book, has created a greater sensation than any other play in a decade. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., writes in part: "I have read 'The House of Bondage' with much interest. The story is inexpressibly sad, but sadder still is the knowledge that it is true to life. * * * The author has handled a difficult subject with the utmost delicacy consistent with 'perfect frankness. I believe that the conditions with which it deals must be generally known before they will be improved and that the publicity thus given will be of great value." "The House of Bondage" is a story of a young girl who is followed from High School to the very doorstep of her home by a man, who by adroit promises lures her to New York City under the pretense that they will be married immediately upon their arrival in the big city. What next happens to this young school girl is best told by seeing the play, which portrays the life of a white slave in all its environments. It depicts with startling realism the methods pursued by a band of villainous gangsters to trap their prey. The New York American, Sunday, Feb. 22, said: "The House of Bondage, as given in the dramatized form, is an expurgated version of the Reginald Wright Kaufman widely read novel, which is one of the most vital sermons and demunciations of white slavery, that has yet graced the metropolitan stage. It paints a vivid picture of the dangers that lurk about the corners for every girl in a big city. It shows that every girl should be continually on her guard so as not to fall into the hands of despicable individuals who profit by bet destruction." "The House of Bondage" is a play dedicated to young womanhood. Parents should have this great life lesson placed before their grown-up children by having them witness this play. Children under sixteen years of age will not be admitted. UNIT NO. 17 GIVES CABARET AND DANCE On Saturday evening, April 27, Unit No. 17 of the Circle For Negro War Relief gave a unique cabaret and dance at the 15th Battalion Armory.

GEO, GORDON, BATTLE ADDRESS BIG BROTHER In spite of the heavy downpour of rain on Sunday, April 21, an audience of about two hundred listened with interest to the address of George Gordan N. Nguyen, 50, a lawyer and friend of the Negro, at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. Mr. Battle, who is a partner of ex-United States Senator O'Gorman, was introduced by Fred R. Moore, editor of THE Age, who spoke highly of Mr. Battle. The attorney spoke on the Big Brother, as well as how he became a Big Brother and the delights that he had gotten out of the association with the young boys.
