Capt. Hamilton Fish, Jr., Writes to Father About Regiment RETURNING OLD FLAG Governor Whitman to be Asked to Put It With Other Old Flags at State Capitol—Colored Regiment Was the Second from New York State to Reach France. The old 15th New York Infantry, now the 369th United States Infantry, is the most envied American regiment in France, according to Capt. Hamilton Fish, Jr., a member of one of New York's oldest and wealthiest families. Captain Fish has written an interesting letter to his father about the regiment, and the excellent showing the colored fighters are building. This letter follows. "I think you will forgive me for not writing offender, but I can pay every moment receiving my company ready for a reunion." up to be done, so that we can give a good account of ourselves on our introduction to the booch. After all our wanderings and experiences it is difficult, to realize that we will be facing German bullets, and I hope, taking German helmets before you get this lesson. I understand that helmets are the only things we are allowed to keep, and also to send home. "Our regiment is the most envied American regiment (in) France, and has the greatest opportunity to make a wonderful record. We are with the French Army and have the incomparable advantage of the instructions and experience of the French. We are, to all intents and purposes, a part of the French Army, and supplied by them with all of our rifles, bayonets, helms, gas masks, knapsacks, food, and ammunition. The men looked: splendid in the American, khaki uniforms and French leather equipment and brown helmets. I wonder what the Germans will think when they take one of our boys prisoner and find that he cannot speak French and comes from Harlem. "I am a great believer in the fighting quality of the educated American Negro. If the regiment does not make a splendid record, it will be the fault of the men. I believe (if the censorship regulations were abolished, the 15th New York (now the 36th U. S. Infantry), would be as well known as the Rough Riders were in the Spanish-American war, before peace is declared. We were the second New York regiment over here, following closely on the old 69th, and I believe, the first colored regiment-to land in France. "Today we are the American Foreign Legion of France. We are sending back our old 15th New York Infantry flag to Governor Whitman, to be placed with the other old regimental flags in the State Capitol'at Albany. It is quite appropriate that the flag should be returned to Governor Whitman, as the regiment was ordered during his administration, and owes its success to his personal interest and efforts in its behalf." "We are billeted in a small village not very far from the front and are not bothered by German shells, but we can plainly hear the incarcerated rumble of the artillery. On clear nights the front looks like a Fourth of July celebration with rockets, flares and flashes of big guns. Most of the firing is now done at night time, because the artillery on both sides shell the lines of communication to prevent the bringing up of supplies and movement of troops. There are plenty of German airplanes hovering about, especially at night, and there have been several air flights in the vicinity of our village. One of our battalions has already gone to the trenches. It was an interesting sight to see our troops march out of the little French village while out band played the 'Sombre' and 'Meuse,' the 'Marseillaise,' and our national anthem. There were no flowers and no good-byes, as our boys marched out to give battle, but just the same those of us who saw them go were greatly impressed by their martial appearance. "I have given you all permission are on the duration of 100 America as we do not get the German bullets and the allied communiques are closely centred. From the latest reports, the German have been checked in their attempt to take Amersica. "Please do not worry about my being hit, as it will not do either of us any good. There is no such thing as dodging a shell or a bullet, as the one that hits is never seen. It is a good deal a matter of luck, or as the French say—bonne chance. I am willing to take my chance with the rest of them." "We went through the throwing of hand Grenades without an accident, although one man dropped his and had the pluck to pick it up again and throw it out of the trench. Our boys already excel the French at grenade throwing on account of their baseball training. The hand Grenade is one of the most important features of the present war, and has taken the place of the rifle to a large extent in trench warfare. Several of our men can throw dummy Grenades seventy-five meters, which is ten meters further than any of the French soldiers near here. Grenade throwing, face distance, accuracy, and speed is the war sport of France, and has taken the place of football and other games. "We declared war just one year ago and all reports indicate that America is a crossed and authentic for the prosecution of the war to victory. I am glad to hear that the nation has snuck off its snacker and destroyed the maggots of pacifism which feed on his carcass and hurl his into ground se- 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. capacity... I am confident that the farmers — the back-home folks, the plain people — whose sons are in khaki, will bend every energy and make every sacrifice to bring this terrible war to a quick and successful conclusion.

Men Are Always Singing "The officers and men have done and are doing splendidly. Fitted in without a jar or a hitch. They sang a song (they are, always, singing) which goes something like this: "We used to use the picks and spades. But now we throw the hand grenades. "And they surely do throw them with astonishing strength, precision and good judgment. One boy threw his (when we were laying down a barrage) prematurely. You know we ignite them by a percussion cap and they are then carefully thrown and exploded a few seconds later. This boy was scolded for throwing his before the others and when asked why he had done so replied: "Why, colonel, that old grenade she started to swell right in my hand." So I couldn't blame him for having a vivid imagination under the circumstances for they are nasty things to handle. Of course, there is plenty of time to throw after striking the cap on our steel helmet held in the left hand, but it is hard to remember that. "The boys have learned so quickly about everything. They can take their machine guns, to pieces and put them together, in the dark just as easy as they take off their shoes. "I am very, proud of them. They are clean, brave men, fearing nothing—doing everything. One wonderful French general says they are 'tres robust mais tres imprudent' (very strong or stout-hearted; but very rash). "The friends of the regiment ought to rejoice that we are up here with the splendid French, where bravery, hardihood and character, and not a man's color, count. "Best regards to yourself and our good friends. "Sincerely, (Signed) "WILLIAM HAYWARD" P. S.—"We have been changed to the 369th U. S. Infantry." SAILS TO BE CANT WORKER IN Mrs. Helen M.

COLORED OFFICERS IN VICTORY AT CAMP UNION Colored officers are authorized General Bell, commander of the Upton, L.

It is said that General Bell counsel was read to the officers of the Infantry several days ago, and knew the subject of much favorable content. General Bell's order is said to have grown out of an incident in white draftee who had been at camp a few weeks, deliberately refusing salute when he passed a colored coat and his company as provided by regulations. When the officer halted the sword and asked why he did not salute latter is reported to have replied, "I'm from Georgia." There have been few cases at Camp Upton of white draftees refusing to salute colored officers. UTOPIA CLUB SENDS CIGARETTES TO THE DIVISION.

Lynching is not a private, either imaginary or increases faith in the boasted and our so-called democratic influence. It widens the frightful of unfriendly and suspicious between the races and positively in the spirit of antipathy and rebellion. We are accused of concealment. Who has concealed the criminals that have mercilessly used these three thousand deeds, women and children of war. That these murders freely their trade in broad daylight in plain view of the entire even, does not facilitate their arrest or detection. Within less than one year one state alone has tormented burned at the stake three times without even the seme of a trial or an effort to apprehend the murderers. In the instance an entire helpless colonyation was marched around amid fumes of a burning hunter and put on notice that as the man was suffering they too fear to suffer.

In the military and humanitarian movement, public carriers, in federal law the treatment accorded us is deemed dehumanizing and repressive in the extreme. This pervasive unreasonable practice is but one of the colored man's self-reliance levels not enough to ensure that all Americans are protected and national security.

Jan, Company F, 25th Infantry, whose 30 years' faithful service in the army will expire on July 18, SERGY. OSCAR MORGAN. 1918, enlisted in the army of 20 at McMahon, Ill. He the house of his birth, and was sent to Columbia Barracks, O., to make the first page in his military history. After three months of recruit service he was sent to Fort Missoula, Mont., and assigned to Company G, 25th Infantry, with which organization he served for five years. He returned home for a short period, and not being able to resist the lust for adventure-went back to Fort Missoula and re-enlisted in the same company, serving 12 years. He has not seen his old homestead since. In the spring of 1988, when the country was in the throes of war, Sergeant Moran was sent South. He was next heard of going to Key West, Fla., and bringing Spanish prisoners back to Fort McPherson, Ga., to be confined there. Then he returned to Tampa, Fla., and from there to Cuba. In Cuba he gave a good account of himself in each engagement he happened to be a participant in the battle at San Juan Hill. After peace was declared Sergeant Morgan, with the regiment, was returned to the United States, remaining until 1900, when the regiment was ordered to the Philippines; there he served at different times, two tours of duty, and in all of his battle engagements he never received a single wound. After returning to the United States he transferred to Company F, 25th Infantry, serving in that organization to the present. Sergeant Morgan also has an athletic history; he is about to retire the undefeated heavy weight champion of the army and also the champion hammer thrower. He has the record for throwing 146 feet with one hand, the distance that other army athletes hold record for throwing with both hands. PREACHER ARRESTED FOR SELLING LIQUOR The Rev. Thomas B. O'Connell, pastor of the Salem A. M. E' Church of Roslyn, L. I., arrested Friday night by the military police for seling liquor to soldiers at Camp Upton, was sent to the Nassau County Jail at Mineola pending trial by the Federal court in Brooklyn. Bail was fixed at $500. According to the police, the minister sold the liquor in a house adjoining the church, and was charging the soldiers at the rate of $4 a quart for it.

Over two thousand applications for invitations were received by the chairman of the Dinner Committee, but as this number could not be accommodated it was decided that only Mr. Enright's personal friends should be included. Amene those present were: Gen. Harry D. Wik Hamilton Judge Peter C. C. C. Jr. Pr. C. C. C. Ca. Won't Discuss Ballou Order (Continued from First Pamph.) tell me you have heard in removed form. In answer to your question about Bulletin Number 35, I would say that as an officer of the army I must refuse most emphatically to discuss with you or anyone else the order of a superior officer. Such action on my part would be disloyal and would justly subject me to court-martial. In regard to your request for an explanation of an order that I issued as Colonel of the 367th Infantry, I wuld say that, whether you have been correctly or incorrectly informed as to the substance of such order, it is a subject. I most absolutely decline to discuss with you or any other civilian. I am responsible to my superiors alone for any orders, instructions or injunctions that I may issue, to my regiment and let me say that I consider it is a piece of presumption on your part to call upon me to explain or defend a military order of mine. Those in the military service are explicitly prohibited by army regulations from discussing the orders or acts of their superiors, and the violation, of this regulation lays one liable to court-martial. Disloyalty is the most reprehensible trait that either an officer or a soldier can possess, and there is no form of disloyalty worse than that of officers or soldiers criticizing the orders or acts of their superiors, especially with those not, in the military service: Civilians Intentionally Sew Beads of Discard So, let me say to you and other colored civilians that those of you, who act on rumors, as you admit you have done, and who lend a willful and sympathetic, to the same compassions of affection of soldiers, especially those that may have been justly disciplined at some time or, other, or those who because of inexperience in military matters or for any other reason, chance to be displeased with the acts of their superiors—let me say that such civilians are not only helping to sow the seeds of discord and insubordination amongst our colored troops, but you are also aiding and abetting disloyalty, thus doing your bit, although unintentionally, to discredit and bring into disrepute colored soldiers as a class, especially the officers, the extensive commissioning of whom in this war is an experiment by the War Department that is as courageous as it is admirable and that is being closely watched by everyone. Furthermore, the apparent eagerness, as evidenced by your meeting Sunday, afternoon, with which you and your league are acting upon information which you tell me yourself you got in the form of rumor, can but result in 'mischief that will, in the eyes of the world, hurt your own race; for, you are helping to agitate and to distrust the minds of colored officers and soldiers from their military duties in time of war, thus antagonizing and hampering in their work. officers who, like myself, are making every effort, to see that our colored officers and soldiers get a square deal, and who are doing everything possible to help them, especially the officers, make good in this war. In conclusion, I will say that it is quite unnecessary for me to explain to you, or your league my attitude toward and friendship for the colored man—my writings, my public utterances, and my record of eighteen years with colored soldiers, including two wars, are well known to those who have served with me and to the colored people generally throughout the country. May I ask that you please. read this letter at your meeting, Sunday afternoon? Faithfully yours, (Signed) JAS. A. MOSS, Colonel 360th Infantry. The letter was read at Sunday's meeting, as requested by Colonel Moss. SOUTH CAROLINA (Special Anniversary New York Am.) ORANGEBURG, S. C. "There has not," using the expression of an eyewitness, "been such an assembly of clever fellows in South Carolina for some time as the bunch of doctors' who met in Orangeburg the other day." There are two great Negro institutions located here —Claflin University, and the State College—and these two schools vied with each other in giving the doctors a great time. It was the twenty-four annual session of the Palmetto Medical Association, which is composed of the physicians; dentists, and pharmacists of the State. Officers for 1917 and 1918 were Dr. F. B.

WASHINGTON LETTERT Washington Bureau, The New York Age, 600 F Street N. W, Miss Jeanne Carter Manager. WASHINGTON, D. C—Judge H. Terrell was sworn in for the fifth term Saturday morning last, having already served on the bench for sixteen years and a half. Soon after the ceremony, in the presence of his associate judges and a large gathering of friends and admirers, in his chambers, Royal A. Hughes, president of the Bar Association of the District of Columbia, spoke of the esteem in which the colored members of the bar hold the Judge. He then, on the part of the association, presented him with a large bouquet designed by Foster and a handsome leather brief case. Judge Terrell made a feeling address. Jacob A. Cobb then introduced the Judges wife, Mary M. Church Terrell, who spoke feelingly of high appreciation in which her husband is held by his fellow members of the A BEAUTY S hart.

The book is, “The Negro im Literature ‘and Artin the United States,” by Bénjamin Brawley, Dean of Morehouse College, Atlanta. Mr.-Brawley is also the author of “A Short History of the American Négro;” of various essays and articles, and is a poet of fine feeling. In this latest pub- fication he has gives a history ‘arid to some chant compilation of what the’ Negro has atcomplished in literature and art in this country: It opens with a chapter on-Negro genius, ‘and then, beginning ‘with Phillis Wheatley, treats of Negro writers down to the present day. There are also chapters on-the orators, the stage, painters, sculptors and music. The appendix contains a useful bibliography. =” This book has real value; and its value consists not only ‘in the material which it includes, but in what it émits, Mr. Brawley is a man with the intelligence and training which enable him to eniploy| the discriminating judgment necessary for such work; and in this the race and the’ public are fortunate. So many compilations of race achievements have been gotten out by men who weré not fitted for he work; they lacked the intelligence and training, and some of thém acked honesty of purpose. Books of great Negroes have been pub- ished in whick the “greatness” of many of he characters included onsisted in their ability ta furnish a biographical sketch, a photo- graph and five dollar in cash. : Mr, Brawley’s book is scholarly and sincere. His estimates of he work done by those of whom'he writes are not artived at by pil- ng superlative adjectives on top of each other. He does not make ny undue allowances for that work ‘on account of color, but meas~ 1res it by the literary standards of the world. So‘his estimates are sot relative, but absdlute. . “The Negro in Literature aiid Art? ought to be widely read. |} f it is, it will do much to encourage the production of that literature | hrough which races and peoples attain a place in the ¢steem of the vorld.

The men at Camp Grant do not sleep under tents on the ground, they sleep in well built steam-heated barracks. There are a aumber of ¥. M. C. A. buildings in, which there are auditoriums where the men are entértained by lectures, singing and moving pictures. These Y. M. C. A. buildings also serve as clubs where the men can write their letters, play indoor games and"read the papers. : I was, of course, especially interested in’ the colored soldiers. They are a fine looking set. -Even the grechest of them have ac quired a manly, earnest bearing. As I looked at them I thought how much the training they are, getting means to those who never before had been taught the principles of clean living; for camp life means cleanliness, order, discipline, promptness and all the other common virtues. ; But the thing that interested me most were the schools. All the men who cannot read.or write or figure are being taught; the officers are the teachers. In the school I visited T saw men thirty years old, men from the cotton fields of ‘Alabama and the corn brakes of Louisiana, poring over alphabet charts and copying their A B C’s. When I entered the'teacher was giving out the word “nickel” to bé spelled. And I shall-not soon forget the look of pride on the face of the-man who arose and spelled n-i-c-k-l.: / ot If prejudice, against the Negro does not defeat universal ‘train- ing, the Negro himself is going to-be the great gainer thereby.

TO PRODUCE "ALMA" AT LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK Not content with producing such musical productions as "Madam Sherry" "Three Twins" and "The Man Who Owns Broadway," it seems that the Lafayette management is now trying to raise the standard higher. In securing "Alma" for production at the Lafayette the management has achieved something for, which they deserve praise. This musical play has been produced within the last few years in all of the principal cities of the world and it has been translated into at least six different languages. The soul-inspiring music is set off by a combination of magnificent scenic and electrical effects as well as by unsurpassable comedy. "Alma," a beautiful Parisian model, is induced by the rapacious relatives of Jean La Peach to lure this unsophisticated country boy to propose to her so as to make him lose a fortune of four million francs which have been willed, to him with the provision that he does not make love or propose to a woman up to a certain date. Alma induces him to visit her apartments in order to tear out her part of the plan. There several situations arise which have made "Alma" the talk of two continents but strange to say she actually falls in love with this poor country boy and decides to save his fortune. The complications which arise from her sudden change of mind are very funny, and although a trifle bold sets the audience rocking with laughter. The waltz music of the French composer, Jean Briguet, is one of the principal attractions of this musical success: A CORRECTION. To the Dramatic Editor of The New York Are: "I note your writeup at the Clef Club entertainment at Philadelphia an article about myself, which I do not altogether appreciate, viz.: "Seth Weeks gave an exhibition of a bandoinit acting foolish." I want to call your attention to the fact that I did not render any selection and that therefore your statement, besides being detrimental to me, is also untruthful and not at all in keeping with my line of entertainment. I trust this is a mistake. I will appreciate an explanation through the columns of your paper." LAST EDUCATIONAL RECITAL The last of the series of five, educational recitals, given under the management of Mrs. Daisy Tapley, will take place at Memorial Hall, in the X. W. C. A., building, corner Schermhorn and Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, May 16. This promises to be the rare musical treat of all since Harry T. Burleigh, the foremost musician of the race, will be the baritone, soloist, and Clarence Cameron. White, the race's most representative violinist, will appear. Mrs. White and Mr. Mellyline Carlton will be the accompanist of the evening. To reach Memorial Hall, take subway to Nevin street and walk down Flatbush two blocks. their ever-popular old-time winnings, by a manner which has probably never been calqued before in any city. Thus began the Atlanta Constitution in the years of May 1, in commenting upon the big musicale given at the Anderson memorial on the evening of April 10 for the benefit of the Furnishing Fund of the new Y. M. C. A. More than $12,000 was raised on that evening, $2,500 being collected at the door on the sale of the Indiana and $9,750 on the inside. This part of the unannounced program was carried out by J. K. Orr, president of the land Seal Shoe Factory, and the Rev. J. Bryant, pastor of Wheat Street Baptist Church. Twelve thousand dollars made a new record for one night's winnings. It sounds like grand opera receipts, but Atlanta did not have grand opera this year and this-folk-song musicale was substituted in its place. Here is the heading of a double-column article that appeared in the Athena Journal, Sunday, April 28: "HERE IS ATLANTA'S OWN SUBSTITUTE FOR GRAND OPERA." And among other things said that: "We want all Atlanta to help put it over our." All three of the daily papers gave large space to the affair, the editor's voice opted to editicals on the occasion. The Georgian, in referring to the solo work of Miss Violet Thomas of Carthage, Ga, who led most of the melodies, said: "Her voice and its precision might well serve as a model for more widely-known singers." One of the big surprises of the evening was the giving of another thousand dollars by David T. Howard, one of the leading undertakers of the race in this country. This makes $3,200. Mr. Howard has given the Atlanta Y. M. C. A. which makes him the largest individual contributor of color in the United States. Many of the leading white citizens vied with each other to add to the fund on this memorable evening. Among those present and occupying boxes were Governor and Mrs. Hugh M. Dorsey, and Mayor Asa Candler. The big chorus of three hundred voices were trained by Prof. Kumphall Harrold, musical instructor at Morehouse College, W. Johnson Trent, secretary of the Y M C. A. both very happy over the recitals and the fine impression the chorus was about the thousands of people who came out of that evening. The whole affair was largely promoted by a committee of leading white citizens, under the chairmanship of J. K. Orr, who had the hearty support of several of the leading ministers and laymen of the race in the city. PHILADELPHIA GJANTS LOSE.
