NEW YORK, RAILWAY MUST PAY DAMAGES Refused to Admit Willard Smith and Company to Its Dancing Pavilion. $100 JUDGMENT RENDERED After Deciding in Favor of Willard Smith Another Jury Non-suits Case of Henry T. Johnson on Ground that Action Was Not Brought in Good Faith. AUBURN, N. Y.—Willard A. Smith has been awarded $100 damages by a jury in the Supreme Court against the Auburn & Syracuse Electric Railway Company based on the refusal of the company to sell tickets to colored people for the dancing pavilion. After deliberating an hour the jury reached a verdict, deciding that the S PARADE plaintiff had been unjustly discriminated against on account of color, awarding him judgment for $100. According to the testimony, Willard Smith, in company with a lady friend, applied for tickets for the dancing floor at Lakeside Park during the summer of 1914, and were denied admittance because of their racial identity, which is in conflict with the laws of the State. On the same day Willard Smith was awarded damages against the Auburn and Syracuse Electric Railway Company a jury in another case involving the same issues of civil rights law in a verdict of no cause of action, Henry T. Johnson being the plaintiff. In the second case it was pointed out that Johnson went to the dance pavilion to purchase a ticket without being accompanied by a lady, and the defense charged that his attempt to purchase a ticket was not in good faith. The first case brought against the railroad company by a Negro was that of Carroll Johnson, who was awarded $350 damages. The case was appealed and the Court of Appeals a few months ago handed down an opinion holding that the plaintiff had been discriminated against and that the judgment should stand. DEMOCRACY IN GEORGIA. Valdosta, Ga—Hayes Turner, Negro, and his wife, Mary Turner, accused of connection with the murder of Hampton Smith, a white farmer, and the wounding of his wife at their home near Barney last Thursday night, have been hanged by a mob. Two other Negroes, Will Head and Will Thompson, were lynched Friday night. Turner was lynched last night at Okapilco River, in Brooks County, after the mob had learned that the plot to attack the Smiths was made at his home. Mary Turner, who was said to have had Smith's watch in her possession when captured, was hanged at Folsom's Bridge, on Little River.

General of 92nd Division Rear Order Had Needed to deal with Any Policy of Discrimination But Designed to Protect Ballet Friction. (Special to The New York Times) CAMP FUNSTON, KANSAS—At the instance of Major General C. C. Ballou, of the 92nd Division, the manager of the Warrington Theatre was tried in the police court at Manhattan, Kansas, charged with discrimination on account of color, and fined $10 and a fine. At the time he is being tried No. 13 which aroused resentment among ordered people through the country, it seems that General Ballou was acting the prosecution manager who had discussed a sergeant of the division with assistant to the Secretary of War, General Ballou discusses Bulletin No. 35, as follows: HEADQUARTERS 92D DIVISION, CAMP FUNSTON, KANSAS Washington, D.C. My Dear Mr. Scott I have your request that I make a brief statement relative to Bulletin No. 35, these Headquarters. There seems to be no good reason why I should not do so. Here are the preliminary facts: A soldier of this division got into trouble with a theatre manager at Manhattan and reported it to me. I at once ordered an investigation, placed the facts before the Division Judge Advocate and was informed by him that the theatre manager had violated the law. I then put the case in the hands of the United States Attorney, and requested the prosecution of the theatre manager. The case was set for April 22. I then issued Bulletin No. 355 which, in brief, is counsel to my soldiers to avoid race troubles. This bulletin was given out to the colored press of the country, accompanied by an entirely misleading letter that not only completely suppressed all mention of any prosecution of the theatre manager, but directly and falsely conveyed the impression to editors and readers that I had not done so. The most prejudiced person will, I think, at once see that this was a malicious attempt to stir up race feeling by misrepresentation The character of Bulletin No. 35 was that of advice, as already stated. This advice was ordered published to the division. It had nothing to do with any policy of segregation or with any policy outside of the military establishments. Its purpose was to prevent race friction, with the attendant prejudice to good order and military service. They are indispensable. Nothing connected with the service of the colored troops has ever been so threatening to good order and discipline as race troubles have been, WILL PRESENT SOME OF ITS BEST TALENT SUPPORTED BY AN INCOMPARABLE CLUB CLUB ORCHESTRA Reports in hand show a possible instance of bravery and devotion shown by two soldiers of an American colored regiment, operating in a French sector. Before daylight on May 15, Private Henry Johnson and Private Roberts, while on sentry duty at some distance from one another, were attacked by a German raiding party estimated at twenty men, who advanced in two groups, attacking at once from flank and rear. Both men fought bravely in hand to hand encounters. One resorted to the use of a bolt knife after his rifle jammed and further fighting with bayonet and butt became impossible. There is evidence that at least one and probably a second German were severely cut. A third is known to have been shot. "Attention is drawn to the fact that the two colored sentries were first attacked and continued fighting after recovering wounds and despite the use of grenades by a superior force. They should be given credit for preventing by their bravery the capture of any of our men. Three of our men were wounded, two by grenades. All are recovering and the wounds in two cases were slight." SETS WORLD RECORD (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) Baltimore, Md.—A gang of Negro rivets working at Sparrows Point, Md., in the Bethlehem Steel Corporation broke the world's record for driving rivets. One of the gang, Charles Knight, drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in a nine-hour day. The previous highest record was 4,442 made by a workman in a Scottish shipyard. This is the way the Negro is demonstrating his patriotism at home while his brothers in black in the army are showing it in France. Mr. Knight is a respectable and industrious citizen of Baltimore, a native of Virginia. Telegrams announcing the new record were sent to Chas. M. Schwah, director general for the Fleet Corporation and other-officials connected with shipbuilding. If a bridge of ships will enable our soldiers to go over, to be fed and our allies to have supplies, the Negro will have a large share in building those ships. Mr. Knight is only one of thousands of Negro shipworkers At Newport News yards alone there are about 8,000 employed. Knight has been awarded $277 for setting the world's record. He received $102 for his day's work, a bonus of $50 for bringing the record back to America and twenty-five pounds sterling offered by Donald McLeod, a London shipbuilder, through the London Daily Mail. Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board has called Lord Northlife a new challenge for British men and wrote Knight as follows: "Your world's record feat of drawing 4,875 rivets, on May 16, has set for American shipbuilders the fast pace that is so necessary for carrying on the war successfully. It is the American way to excel when the occasion demands, and you and your associates, in upholding so splendidly this tradition, inspire emulation throughout the shipbuilding industry." Young lady as bookkeeper and cashier Apply Anderson's market, 562 Lenox Ave HENRY JOHNSON AND NEEDHAM ROBERTS ROUT 24 GERMANS A been awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French General of the division under whom the 309th is serving, and Johnson has also been awarded the much-coveted gold palm of the French Army commander. The old 15th New York Infantry is in the trenches north of Ste. Menchould, west of Verdun. First knowledge that the colored warriors from New York were in the first line trenches was told in the issue, of THE AGE of May 11 in a letter from Col. William Hayward, the regimental commander. The colored troopers have been over the top in company with the French, entering German trenches under barrage and bringing back three German prisoners. Reference to the capture of three Germans by members of the old 15th has been made by Sergt. William Shepherd, who, in a letter just received by the Rev. W. P. Hayes, says: "Last night our boys went over the top and captured three Huns and didn't lose a man." Full Story of German Rout. Following is the full story of Johnson's and Roberts' victorious encounter with the twenty-odd Germans as told by Thomas M. Johnson, staff correspondent of the New York Evening Sun: Johnson and Roberts, with three others, were on duty at 3 o'clock Thursday morning at a small advanced post. The post was on marshy land and in the midst of heavy, rank grass. The two men were on patrol while the three others were getting a little sleep in one of the dugouts. About 2 o'clock in the morning, as the investigation later undertaken showed, the party of twenty-five Boches crawled into a bit of abandoned trench to the right of the post and then started to work their way toward the sentries. But hearing the noise repeated Johnson became convinced that the Booths were approaching and shouted at the top of his voice: "Here they come." Fifty yards back of that held by the THE OLD 15TH. PRIVATE HENRY JOHNSON two Negroes was a larger post, and at Johnson's cry a flare was sent up from these, which dislodged the dark forms of the Germans breaking through the wire. Both Wounded by Grenades. They were scarcely fifteen yards away, and as the flare went up the Germans instantly threw hand grenades which exploded with a crash, wounding both. Roberts was struck by fragments on the right elbow, forearm and left leg, and Johnson on the right hip and left leg. Both were knocked down by the concussion, and Roberts was not able to get up again. But despite the suddenness of the attack and their wounded condition both of them struggled toward their own grenade supply, and although both were on the ground at that time, threw several of the grenades just as the first Boche entered the post Johnson managed to get on his feet and shot the Boche through the ches with a rifle. A second German leaper over the body of his fallen comrade and Johnson, using his rifle as a club, brought it down with a crash on his head. He dropped with a groan, but there were more coming, and Johnson saw out of the corner of his eye one big German throttling the helpless Roberts. Two other Germans were helping him, and the three were trying to take him prisoner and carry him off. Drops His Useless Rifle. The infuriated Johnson cast about for another weapon, his rifle having jammed just before he fell the second German, but found that the small supply of grenades at the post had been exhausted. He suddenly bethought himself of his "bolo knife" which he had at his belt, and drawing this brought it down with all his strength, driving the razor-edged blade into the German's head. It must have cleft his skull, for the blade later showed blood to the hilt and the German's cap, when picked up was found to have been almost in --- flung himself at Johnson almost before he had time to recover himself after delivering the first blow, but he succeeded in turning his "bolo" against him, also. Screams in Good English. As he plunged the knife into the German's body the latter gave a cry of anguish and—Johnson and Roberts agree, as to this—screamed out in good English, "The son of a — got me!" By this time Johnson was weak from the loss of blood, and when another German shot him in the right arm with a revolver he fell to the ground. He was vaguely conscious that the little post was filled with rushing figures, all jumpled together in the darkness, and then his hand fell upon a single grenade that happened to be lying on the ground. He throw this in the direction of the Germans, heard it explode, and then everything became blank so far as he was concerned. But that grenade literally blew another German to pieces, and there is a big stain on the duckboards outside of the dugout with bits of gray cloth strewn about, to prove its effectiveness. It was Johnson's last effort, but it was enough to put the Germans to flight. They went so fast they barely had time enough to carry off, their dead and wounded in the stifetchers which, as is their custom in making raids, they brought with them. But they did not have time to take with them two stretchers, six wire cutters, twenty-four grenades and three revolvers which they left behind in evidence of the fact that the two Negroes had been too much for them The other three Americans at the post were just emerging from their dugout when the fight commenced and were knocked down by the force of the exploding grenades. They got to their feet barely in time to see the last of the Boches disappearing. They gave chase but could not catch up with the fleet footed foe. A few minutes later Lieut. Richard Pratt of Brooklyn and Arthur W. Little of New York came up leading a strong patrol, which also was unable to find any trace of the enemy. When Johnson recovered consciousness the first thing he said was: "Corporal London, 'turn out the guard,' this being what he had been shouting during the whole, breathless fight. Both Johnson and Roberts are in the hospital and will recover. They told the commander who visited them that as soon as they recovered they wanted to go back to the trenches. In the meantime the story of their explon has passed from mouth to mouth, and when they do return to the trenches it will be a sort of triumphal return something after the malner of the victorious Roman emperors. All Want "Bolo Knives." The fight has also had another result. Every member of the regiment who hasn't one already is importuning his officer for a "bolo knife." Here is what the French General in command wrote to his superior about the fight "The American report is too modest. As a result of verbal information furnished to me it appears that the blacks were extremely brave and this little combat does honor to the Americans." The story of the fight will make a splendid paragraph when the time comes for writing the history of the war. It will show that when it comes to a question of heroism there is no color line. SERGT WM SHEPARD WRITES ABOUT THE 15th Dr. Wm. P. Hayes, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, has received the following letter, dated "On the Front, on Active Service with the American Expeditionary Force, American Y. M. C. A. April 16, 1918: "Dear Doctor: At last I have found time to write you, we having been in training for several months and rushed where we are kept very busy. We have a little rest now, as all are not in at the same time. We are allowed to rest up when there is nothing doing very much. As a rule things are very lively at the front. It certainly would be interesting to you to see a trench when there is lots doing. You will never know just what it is from reading, as we find it much different. It is a beautiful sight on a clear night when the big guns are in action. One is reminded of a Fourth of July celebration. They annoyed us very much for a while, but now we are lost when we don't hear them. Our boys are making good and we are in it to a finish. We hope to stop them before many months. Last night our boys went over the top and captured three of the Huns and didn't lose a man. We are doing our duty and making a record, so everyone concerned will be proud of us. Remember me kindly to Mrs. Hayes and to all who ask about me, just say I am all right—act all the boys. We all will certainly appreciate your prayers. Excuse letter as we have no desk or office, but use stones or anything for writing purposes. It is very cold and rainy; my hands and feet are aching. Write me. Respectfully. Sgt. WM. SHEPARD, Co. I, 369th U. S. R. I., A. E. F., S. P. 54, France. NEGRO SPEAKERS TO TELL OF WAR AIMS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACM) WASHINGTON, D.

NEED WELFARE WORKERS IN INDUSTRIAL PLANTS The National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes has issued a statement that there is a great demand on the part of large industrial plants for intelligent, and well-trained colored men who can come in to industrial centers, and stabilize Negro working men—thus reducing the labor turnover in factories and developing more punctuality, regularity and efficiency among these employees. Joseme Knackle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, with his colleagues at 250 birth avenue, Room 1129, following a recent address before more than 500 employment managers, at their annual convention, received upwards of forty invitations to visit industrial plants served throughout the country and to advise employers on the handling of their colored help. He states that he had received eight calls for colored employment managers for industries in the following centers: Beloit, Wis.; Youngstown, O.; Canton, O.; Indianapolis, Ind.; St. Louis, Mo.; Mascot, Tenn., and Hopeville, Va. Mr. Jones made the following statement to THE AGE: "Negro working men now have the greatest opportunity for industrial advancement than during any previous time of their history in America. Employers of labor are beginning to recognize that they must treat Negro working men fairly by giving them the same wages, opportunities for advancement, and living conditions as are received by white working men. In order that our men may see their chance and take advantage of it, they must have intelligent leadership and wise counsel, the assistance of men who will look after their interest by acting as interpreters of their needs to their employers. I should be glad, to have men who are qualified and who should like to engage in industrial welfare work to apply to me for positions which have, recently been referred to the Urban League by some of the largest of our industrial plants."

Mrs. Kent of North avenue went to Brooklyn to attend the reunion of the board members of Concord Baptist Drew Line on Soldier; Fined (Continued from First Page) and it is well known that our enemies have sought to profit by this fact ever since there was a prospect of war. No stone has been left unturned. There have always been foes of our country ready to agravate the grievances of the coloured people on the one hand and to stir up the white on the other. It was no mere coincidence that the East St. Louis atrocities occurred in a city filled largely with German sympathizers. There is little doubt that the same influence egged on both whites and blacks at Houston. Most troubles have small beginnings. At Houston they grew from the fact of colored soldiers entering cars reserved for whites and other similar matters. Great wrongs were eventually committed on both sides, culminating in the killing of a score or more' of white 'people' and the hanging of thirteen Negroes. In the midst of all the feeling and excitement caused by the East St. Louis and Houston troubles, the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines won golden approbation all over the United States, made thousands of friends for the colored race and achieved a glorious success. It did all of this by following precisely the advice that was repeated to the 92d Division in Bulleton, No. 35. PORTSMOUTH, N. H. Portsmouth, N. H.—Hawkeye R. ton, James F. Slaughter, Mrs. H.

Miss Agnes Bayne entertains number of friends at tea last s evening. The Young Ladies' Blink will give a concert and social vestry of the church Wednesday ning, May 29. Our enemies do not wish the United States to have its military power increased by colored soldiers, and they stand ready to add-fuel to every race discord in order to embarrass our country as much as possible in this war. Is it any wonder then, in view of what the enemy has accomplished in the past and is seeking to accomplish again, then the commander of the colored disband the nip troubles in the bud, and while prosecuting white men for their offenses against his soldiers, urges the soldiers to do their part to keep the peace and promote harmony.

In the New York Tribune of May 20 were found the following headlines over two distinct and separate news articles, but in adjoining columns. The first one read: GEORGIA MOB LYNCHES NEGRO AND HIS WIFE Two Other Colored Men Are Hung by Mob After Murder of White Farmer. The second heading read: TWO N. Y. NEGROES WHIP 24 GERMANS; WIN, WAR CROSSES. City's Colored Men, in First Fight, decorated for Gallantry. The shame and the glory of America are at once strikingly set forth in the two articles printed under these diverse headlines. It used to be accepted as a maxim that the man who was able to bear arms for the country was entitled to vote for the officials to administer the government of the country. How much greater the claim of a race that furnished soldiers who add to the glory of the country, to the protection of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. How can any fair-minded American read these two headlines without blushing for the public sentiment that can suffer such things to be? NURSES NOT ACCEPTED. In view of the vital importance of the Red Cross to the War and the magnificent outpouring of this great organization last Saturday, in which all races and creeds participated, it is hard to see why the management suffers the charge of discrimination on account of color to remain uncontradicted. Men, women and children of all races are solicited to aid and contribute to its work, and yet the statement, "We are not at present accepting colored nurses" remains the rule. It is stated on reliable authority that there are three thousand colored nurses in the United States, of which number four hundred were graduated from the Lincoln Hospital, New York City. There are said to be sixty hospitals in the United States training and graduating nurses of the race. Lincoln is the largest, Freedmen's of Washington next, and the Provident of Chicago third. These trained nurses have applied individually and in units to be sent to France to care for wounded soldiers and have received no encouragement whatever. Either the blunt refusal cited above or some more polished evasion has been the only response vouchsafed them. The matter has been shuffled back and forth from one another in the other, and yet the bus against color in the relief of the sick and wounded soldier remains. The question is, Who is responsible for this discrimination on account of color? Let the hidden individual in the woodpile, of whatever complexion he may be, come forth and accept the responsibility for the discrimination complained of and set forth the reasons why it should not be removed. SIX DAYS' WORK The U. S. Department of Agriculture is encouraging a movement to urge the Negro farmers and farm laborers of the South to work six days a week to help win the War. Farm demonstration agents in Alabama have starfed a campaign to put an end to the old custom of observing Saturday or a part of it as a holiday. An organization has been formed known as the United States Saturday Service League with this object in view. Posters, registration cards and service badges are to be used to further the movement. Upon becoming a member every farmer or worker will receive a badge with the initials of the League. Upon working six Saturdays the member will receive another badge with a silver field and gold letters. At the end of the crop year in November, all members who have worked twenty-one Saturdays will receive a third badge with a gold field and silver letters. The provision of badges, at least, is ample. Whether a grip and password will be included has not been announced. The agents admit that it will not be an easy task to change the practice of Saturday half holidays, but to allow it to continue is styled "nothing less than criminal," especially as "hundreds of thousands of the best laborers are leaving the farms." This palliative attempt to stimulate production in the South is very well in its way, but totally inadequate to the exigencies of the situation. There should be some attempt to fix the causes for the shortage of farm labor and to correct the conditions that lie at the root of it. As described by an acute correspondent who recently traveled through that section, the reason for the apathy and lack of ambition on the part of the black man of the South is the long endurance of injustice without the hope of redress. A prominent white citizen was quoted by this newspaper man as saying: I don't wonder the Negro lacks initiative, ambition, application. He has had a rough deal. We do not give equality to him in law THE AGE has been stating this fact, with examples and specifications, for more years than we care to count. This frank admission is only corroborative testimony from the other side. The case has been proved and admitted, but the remedy is yet to come. Badges with silver and gold fields will not fill the bill. Let the white South deal fairly and justly with its Negro labor, not only in the matter of wages, but in securing to the tollers the peaceful enjoyment of the results of their labor. Give them even-handed justice in the courts, protection to life and property, adequate school facilities, provision for sanitary living, freedom from molestation by malicious local officials, and the Negro will have an incentive to live and labor for, to the limit of his capacity. But no badge, however gorgeous, can allay the sore of rankling injustice. THE AIR SERVICE A printed circular announcing "Opportunity for Skilled Workers in the Air Service. U. S. Army," gives convincing testimony that the color line is drawn as strictly against the entrance of the Negro as it is done in the Navy. The circular details with much minuteness the kinds of skilled workers required as a backing to keep each airplane ready for service, to bring up supplies and to maintain the airdromes for housing the planes and quartering the men. They include the following: VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, COMMERCIAL BROKER WHO IS THE DEBTOR? Whenever a colored man speaks before a white audience he has to be doubly careful of his words. For it makes no difference how many strong, manly, true things he may say, if he makes just one utterance that voices the traditional cringing Negro, that one utterance is the one that will be made to stand out above all the others. One of the Memphis dailies contains the report of a speech made by a prominent colored minister of that city before an audience in a neighboring town. The audience was made up largely of white people; in fact the speaker was introduced by a former mayor of the town, a member of the county school board acted as secretary of the meeting, and addresses were made by the mayor and other officials. The presence of so much of the officialdom of a Tennessee town at a colored meeting is explained by the fact that the meeting was a Liberty bond rally. The minister referred to above was the principal speaker, and judging from the report in the paper before us, he made a splendid and eloquent address. But she is also reported as having made the following statement: "The Negro race owes a debt of gratitude to the white race for being brought from darkest Africa to a land of enlightenment and given opportunities of citizenship and education, which debt can be best paid by exercising citizenship and by evidencing and practicing patriotism and love of country." Of course, we do not know whether the speaker made this statement, or made it in just that way; at any rate, it is easy to see how such a statement would afford self justification to the bitterest Negro hater that might hear or read it and absolutely nullify everything else in the speech. But regardless of whether this speaker made the statement or not, it is one that is very often advanced by white people and sometimes acquiesces in by colored people. Is it true? It is not true. Whatever the Negro might have gained by being brought to this country from Africa, he does not owe the white man any debt of gratitude for it. In the first place, the white man's motives in bringing him here were just the reverse of altruistic; the white man did not bring the Negro over for the Negro's good, he brought him over for his own good, and he did not care if his own good caused the Negro great pain and suffering: What ever the Negro has gained, he has gained in spite of the white man's motives, so there does not arise any question of gratitude. If one man should throw another down a well to serve any selfish purpose of his own; and the man thrown down the well found a pot of gold at the bottom and by hard struggle climbed out with it, he would not owe any debt of gratitude to the man who threw him into the well nor would he be under any moral obligations to give any part of the treasure. And not only do the white man's motives in this matter preclude all question of gratitude on the part of the Negro, but whatever the Negro has gained he has already more than paid for. So even if there was an initial debt, it has long ago been canceled, canceled by generations of labor and loyalty and suffering, from all of which the white man was the gainer. When the whole account is summed up, we believe that Justice will declare the white man to be the debtor. He owes a debt that he has barely touched, a debt that runs at a terrible, rate of interest, and one that must be paid in full sooner or later. And after all, who can say exactly just how much the Negro has gained by being brought to this country? He has gained the English language and the Christian religion, and he has learned to wear derby hats and stiff collars and gloves. He has acquired in a very large degree the benefits of so called civilization and, at the same time, he has taken on many of its vices and weaknesses and incurred most of its penalties. So, all that the Negro appears to have acquired cannot be set down as clear gain. The ultimate measure of a civilization is the sum of human happiness that it gives. This sum of human happiness cannot be definitely weighed from mere externals. It is natural to think that the people of England are better off than the people of Siam, let us say, because they have more of the things that go to make up what we call civilization; but are they? A better example: are the Japanese people of to-day, because they have railroads and factories and warships, and because their statesmen wear silk hats and Prince Albert coats, speak English, and are received as ambassadors by the governments of the world, are the Japanese people of today, we ask, better off in the absolute than the Japanese people of sixty years ago? The absolute sum of human happiness must be taken in relation with a great many other things; so we realize that we have sprung a question that would require pages for its answer; and then the answer might be all wrong. Therefore, we leave it for each reader to work out his own answer.

I take in this word picture of utter dejection. "He gave a magnificent example of courage and energy," says a French General of Division of Private Henry Johnson, U. S. A., colored. "A good and brave soldier," he says of Needham Roberts, also colored, whose life Johnson saved. "Both men fought bravely," says Gen. Pershing in his official communique. Together, though both severely wounded, they beat off an attack by twenty Germans in a listening-post, forcing them to flee. For their splendid, initiative, valor and determination, the Croix de Guerre has been awarded them; to Johnson the gold palm also. Upon the same page of The World that described this feat of arms appeared a despatch from Valdosta, Ga., telling how Mary Turner, colored, hanged by a mob. For the crime of killing a white farmer and wounding his wife, two men had been lynched last week. Mrs. Turner was the fourth victim, her husband preceding her by a few hours. The murder plot was supposed to have been made in her home; she "was said to have had" the dead farmer's watch when captured. Legal evidence against her there was none; even the Lynch-law testimony, not subject to cross-examination, was worthless and inconclusive. In France two Negro volunteers, badly wounded, give an example of courage and energy in the defense of democracy which is deemed worthy of citation before a whole army division and by Gen. Pershing. In one of the leading States of the South a Negro woman is put to death by a mob, without companionship of her sex, without benefit of clergy, without evidence or plea, in defiance of law and justice. With tens of thousands of American Negroes fighting for civilization in France under the American flag, how much longer are the American people to tolerate Negrolyn chings? have been written that will retain a permanent place in English literature. In reading an article by a correspondent who had visited the front, we came across some lines which he quoted as having heard sung by Negro soldiers. It is our opinion that these lines were not composed on the other side, and that they are in no way a result of emotions awakened by the war; nevertheless, they evidently express certain emotions felt by the singers at the time, and as they come to our attention by way of the battle front and serve the purpose we have in mind, we quote them. Here is the first: Mah mammy's lying in her grave, Mah daddy done run away. Mah sister married a gamblin' man, An' I've done gone astray. Yes, I've done gone astray, po' boy, An' I've done gone astray. Mah sister married a gamblin' man, An' I've done gone astray, po' boy. Those lines are crude, but they contain real poetry, that elusive thing which nobody can define and that you can only tell that it is there when you feel it. The writer receives a great deal of verse sent to him for publication in The Age; and while all of it is more pretentious than "Po' Boy" very little of it strikes such a response compelling note. You cannot read these lines without becoming reflective and feeling sorry for Po' Boy. Now take in this word picture of utter dejection: I'm jes as misabul as can be, I'm, unhappy even if I am free, I'm feeling down, I'm feeling blue; I wander round, don't know what to do. I'm go lay my haid on the railroad line. Let the B. & O. come and pacify my mind. These lines no doubt are one of the many verses. They are also crude, but they go straight two lines move with the swiftness of all air; there are many young colored men of the soon go to the front; they will be stirred, boths by the pain and glory of this war; the seeing fire and steel fighting for the freed their own is yet denied. Is it too much to us not only true poetry in crude form, but should be enough—will give us great poetry. These lines no doubt are one of the many versions of the famous "Blues." They are also crude, but they go straight to the mark. The last two lines move with the swiftness of all great tragedy. Now there are many young colored men of training and talent who will soon go to the front; they will be stirred, too, to their uttermost depths by the pain and glory of this war; they will find themselves facing fire and steel fighting for the freedom of the world, while their own is yet denied. Is it too much to expect that they will give us not only true poetry in crude form, but that one of them—one would be enough—will give us great poetry in faultless form? LISTEN TO THIS following two paragraphs are taken from a recent issue of one of the most prominent Tennessee: oulomic condemnation of lynching per se is me you will, lynch law has been the vanguard of city brought the fear of God to California in 1849 chief on the prairie, put the law into the chaparay of the white race in the South in the dark day lynch law is often what Roscoe Pound calls "mushed from "Law in Books." victors who try to deal with facts and not since recognized the constructive role play The following two paragraphs are taken from the leading editorial in a recent issue of one of the most prominent dailies in the state of Tennessee: Academic condemnation of lynching per se is mere persilage. Say what you will, lynch law has been the vanguard of civilization in America. It brought the fear of God to California in 1849, exterminated the horse thief on the prairie, put the law into the chaparral and saved the integrity of the white race in the South in the dark days of Reconstruction. Lynch law is often what Roscoe Pound calls "Law in Action" as distinguished from "Law in Books." Historians who try to deal with facts and not legalistic theories have long since recognized the constructive role played by popular tribunals and popular punishment in the history of the North American continent and its conquest by the white race. Can you wonder that Tennessee is a state in which three human beings were burned at the stake within one year; that in point of law and order and the safety of the lives of all its citizens it is a commonwealth that falls below Borneo or the Fiji Islands when it contains a paper that will publish such sentiments as that? The writer of those paragraphs has the effrontery to make a comparison between Tennessee and California. When lynching was practiced in California there were no established courts in the state. Furthermore, the men who lynched horse thieves and other offenders in California were not actuated by beastly blood lust; they adopted lynching as a rude form of administering justice in the absence of other means of doing it; and even to these rough frontiersmen, beyond the border of courts and law and order and civilization the thought of burning a human being alive at the stake would have been revolting. Tennessee is an old state with established laws and courts and with officers to enforce those laws and carry out the mandates of its courts; yet within the shadow of its courts and under the eyes of its officers human beings are burned alive at the stake. California is today a civilized state and Tennessee is still savage, but even in its most primitive days California was never so low in savagery as Tennessee is at the present time. And we wish to add that with conditions as they are in Tennessee now, and with a number of right thinking citizens of the state doing all they can to create an opinion and a movement that will abolish lynching, the man who writes such sentiments as are contained in the two paragraphs quoted above is more of a menace to law and order than the lyncher himself.

C., Morning Hour) The commencement of the Nine Training School, which has been a week, coming to a close veneer marks another milestone in the life this institution, which is really very fine and, a very important in the development of the later of the Negro race. The Negro today is meeting the same citizenship. The most of the race responding to the call to arms, and making it in such a way that the re- sponsibility and admiration of the nation is manded. The Negro will come to the light on a young ground in which he will have a right to ask that other right of a citizen. We may as well recognize the and make preparations to meet request in the office. It can be The only intelligence to do as foster the desire of the Negro race educate itself, for the most dame foe a democracy has face of the proletariat. That has been doom of Russia. The enfranchis- ation of an ignorant citizen is planned fire, and the only way we can play game safely is to begin at once education of the white and ignorant blacks in the country. Fallen Angela.

Olivet Baptist Church, held Thursday evening, May at Manhattan Casino, was more in an auspicious occasion—it an historic event—one not soon forgotten by those present. The two chief contributing factors the success of the entertainment were large attendance and the entertain- program. Three thousand persons part in the reunion and the brand entertainment was a credit to the tech and those taking part. was furnished the church. It was a bit Manhattan Ca and unusual ap closed and no sold. The Ca tion of how a struck by the ANNUAL SAINT Mt. Olivet is rich with talent. It has promising singers, musicians and actors; then there are Deacon Jofferson and members of the Clef Club—recognized entertainers of the first water. So it would have been a rank disappointment had not the program been of high order. Throughout the evening the audience had expressed liberal appreciation for the work of the entertainers, but it was not until No. 17 on the program had been reached that it was moved to thunderous applause. And guess what set the good brethren and sisters to swaying in their seats? A syncopated melody, commonly known as ragtime, played by the Clef Club! Strange to relate, the instrumental number causing those in the audience to applaud lustily and ask for more was "The Dancing Deacon," and while no deacons were guilty of dancing I spied one or two who moved their feet suspiciously—and a few sisters, too. It seems that the average church member is also susceptible to the charms of syncopation. Fred k M. Bryan and Deacon Johnson alternated in directing the instrumental numbers played by the Clef Club, and Brother Johnson made a hit with the members of his congregation when he sang "He Draws No Color Line." Mme. Marie Barrier-Houston, Mt. Olivet's star vocalist, was in excellent voice, taking her top-notes with ease. Mme. Houston's rendition of her first number was somewhat marred by a tendency to look occasionally on the piano copy from which her accompanist was playing. She gave the impression that she was not any too familiar with the number. A one-act playlet, written by Alice M. Dunbar-Nelson and staged by Mrs. Albert S. Reed, was presented by Richard H. Taylor, Charles A. Hill, Mattie Londy, Marie Burke, Frank E. Wallace, Irene Hawkins, Floyd M. Edwards and Martha Venable. The piece is well constructed and has an absorbing theme dealing with a colored draftee. The actors held the attention of the audience from start to finish. The Mt. Olivet Church Choir, under the direction of Prof. L. F. Dyer, rendered Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus," "The Bridal Chorus" from "Rose Maiden" and "Walk Together Children" with accustomed effectiveness. Miss Bessie Allison is a little miss with a pleasing personality and sweet voice and made it evident by her singing of "Sunshine and Butterfly" that she is a bud of promise. Miss Lucile Spence is another talented member of Mt. Olivet, which was made apparent by her recital of "Phantoms of St. Sepulchre." Mt. Olivet Baptist Church boasts of a quartet which it will put up against any other church quartet in Greater New York. It is made up of Mesdames Marie Barrier-Houston, Leta C. Beaman, James E. Gaines and the Rev. W. P. Hayes. The quartet was applauded on its merits and Dr. Hayes agreeably surprised the members of his flock with his "subway" bass. Others on the program who made a favorable impression were David L. Martin, Jr., in a 'cello solo, accompanied by Miss Hazel Thomas; a vocal solo, "Sunbeams," by Miss Della Hughes; a duet, "New Life," by Miss Anna Manuel and Miss Bertha Jamieson; a tenor solo, "The Awakening," by James E. Gaines, and a mandolin solo by Prof. Stellario Cambria, accompanied by Miss Carlette C. Thomas. The friends of Miss Thomas were disappointed because of her failure to appear on the program as a piano soloist, as advertised. It is said that at the last minute Miss Thomas objected to playing on an upright piano, preferring a baby grand. Although the general impression prevails that the acoustics of Manhattan Casino are not of the best, all the vocal numbers were heard without difficulty. After prizes had been awarded by the Rev. R. M. Bolden and announcements had been read by Dr. Hayes, hundreds of church members participated in the grand march led by Austin Burge as marshal. The music was furnished by the Boys' Band of the church. It was a big night for Mt. Olivet. Manhattan Casino presented a strange and unusual appearance for the bar was closed and no intoxicating drinks were sold. The Casino gave a good imitation of how a dance hall looks when struck by the prohibition wave. ANNUAL MUSICALE OF SAINT MARK'S CHOIR ANNUAL MUSICALE OF SAINT MARK'S CHOIR BY giving a successful musical at Carnegie Hall, Monday evening, May 20, the St. Mark's M. E. Choir has ceased to be merely a church auxiliary; it has taken rank as an institution of standing in the musical life of the community. Heterofore the annual entertainments of the choir have been staged at St. Mark's M. E. Church in West Fifty-third street and attended by large audiences. This evidence of public appreciation prompted Prof. E. Aldama Jackson and his associates to engineer a much larger undertaking—give this year's musical at Carnegie Hall, the largest of its kind in the metropolis. Usually, the first question a non-attendant asks is: "How was it?" and the next piece of information desired is: "Were many there?" As I was present Monday evening, heard the program presented by the choir and did a little looking around. I shall undertake to answer both questions. The entertainment pleased and the effort is worthy of commendation. All the boxes were occupied, every seat in the bakery and dress circle were taken and there was a goodly number in the parquet. Monday evening's attendance very likely will inspire the choristers to keep up the good work. The two artistic gems on the program were the solo of "Miss Minnie Brown and the singing of "Atilla" by Mrs. H. King Reeves, soprano; Mr. George D. Hernandez, tenor, and Mrs. George W. Taylor, harpist. The Negro spirituals, "Go Down Moses" and "Don't Get Weary" were the most exhilarating and "Hawatha's Wedding Feast," Charles H. Waters, soloist, the most ambitious. The women's voices showed to advantage in the cantata, "Nightingale and the Rose" which was a trifle too lengthy for the opening number, Mrs. W. O. Terrell was the principal soloist in the cantata, and she was the recipient of applause and flowers as usual. Mrs. Terrell has made up her mind that she is going to be a soloist above the ordinary. She shows a decided improvement each year, and it would not be a big surprise to me if she ultimately realized her ambition. "My Dear One," a duet, by Miss Ethel O. Clarke, soprano, and Miss Willie M. Rains, contralto, was enjoyed. Both young ladies have pleasing voices and they sing well together. Mr. Henry Williams was not overlooked by the audience. He sang a tenor solo, "I'll Sing The Songs of Araby." Prof. Jackson and the members of his choir deserve further commendation for presenting a program which did not last until midnight. It was a novel and an agreeable experience to be able to leave for home shortly after 10 o'clock. Commuters to Brooklyn, the Bronx, Jamaica, Flushing and Jersey City were able to get home before the clock struck twelve. It was decided not to use the orchestra because the musicians had not been thoroughly rehearsed, and for this reason an organ and two pianos were substituted, it is reported. Francis Moore officiated at the organ, while Mrs. Daisy Tapley and Miss Lydia Mason were at the piano. And here is a tip: Follow the career of little Miss Mason as a pianist. She is in her teens. St. Mark's M. E. Choir is now on the musical map on Manhattan. It is up to Proof E. Aldama Jackson and his coworkers to keep it there. They have made a fine start.

Now that the War is in full swing, delinquency among colored children has been on the increase. For twenty days last month there were fourteen girls in the Home, while its capacity is twelve. It had to turn away many more girls than it accommodated. "It is difficult, in view of the many calls by our Government for funds which must be had, to raise money for the support of such work as is done by the Sojourner Truth Society, although we are doing our bit in the War emergency to keep things normal at home while our men are making the fight abroad for Democracy. As proof of our effort to do efficient work at a low cost we need but to say that our per capita cost per day was, for the past six weeks, only $80, while the food cost, due to several generous gifts of provisions dropped as low as $17.1-2, without affecting the excellent health of the girls. "Our girls who are placed out in private homes are making splendid records, and those in the Homé are doing good public school work with the exception of a very few whose scholastic record is a little below the average due to poor school foundation. "The present cost of operating Sojourner Truth House for a year is $4,160.00. Of this amount we have raised only $1,965.56, and we shall have to close unless the balance is quickly found. "A contribution of any amount, large or small, from any person, sent to Mrs. Frank P. Ufford, Assistant Treasurer, at 2836 Seventh Avenue, will be out of possession," posseudon Aims House are always welcomed by the Superintendent. Won't you give something?" URBAN LEAGUE DRIVE ON.
