One of the most graphic accounts of how German submarines off the Atlantic Coast destroyed S. ENOCH ROKER Courtesy N. Y. Evening World. American vessels and the treatment of citizens of the United States held captives on U-boats for days, is told by Enoch Roker, a seaman on the three-masted schooner Edna, which was sunk by a submarine May 25. It was Roker who identified the U-boat that sunk his vessel as No. 151. Telling of his experiences on the day the Edna was torpedoed, Roker said: "A shell whistled near us. "Gee, it must be an English patrol boat" said a member of the crew as he saw the submarine's ensign. "English nothing; that's a German See the Iron Cross on the flag? I answered.

"The lieutenant jumped aboard, went and pulled down the American colors. He did not have the courtesy to fold the firefighters. We all stood about, open-mouthed. We couldn't understand the suddenness of the attack. I guess we didn't move lively enough to suit the German, and he shouted: "I see you need more submarines over here. That'll wake you Americans up." I didn't dispute him, but helped to pile up supplies and luggage on deck preparatory to board it aboard the ship. He got on and told us we ten minutes to get away.

At the regular session of the Council of the St. Kitts-Nevis Universal Benevolent Association, held in April, a resolution was adopted declaring that the laboring class of the island of St. Kitts are in reality slaves to the land monopolists in account of the labor contract 'system'; that the rottenness of this system is largely encouraged by the injustice of a law entitled the Master and Servants' Act of 1849. Unanimous protest was registered against this act and a pledge is to make proper representation to Home Government, so as to secure abolition, 'thereby doing our bit to the world safe for democracy, by making democracy, safe for the world for the whole human family'.

A suggestion has been made by U. S. Deputy Marshal William Duffy that "Wed better send a little army here and if necessary shoot them, down" doesn't seem to be considered too drastic for these slackers. "Six slackers, who have been in the mountains since the first call in April are, Robert Allen Mooney, James David Pody, Homer, Culver, and Alvin Tigers, all of the R. R. No. 2 Rockford, and Springs and Ebert B. Dennis of Dollar. The deserter, Z.

Harvey, who said the abscess of communication by telephone and the difficulty in reaching some headquarters quickly enough is another reason for the silence of those who see the men. MOTHER OF JOE GANS IN Baltimore, Md—Mrs. Maria Gans, mother of the late Joe Gans, the famous lightweight pugilist, is said to be nearly destitute at her home here. She was seen distributing a few flowers on the grave of the lightweight champion, in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, on Decoration Day. As she passed on to the grave of his son and her brother, strewing a few more flowers, she was heard to sob. "It's all I could do." As Mother Gans shed tears others who were in the cemetery shed a few tears with her. That she is in strained circumstances has been rumored for some time. A little over a year ago the home that Joe Gans gave here, 1030 Argyle avenue, was sold for unpaid taxes. Since then she has been living at the southwest corner of Greenwillow and Little Pine streets, just around the corner from the home where Joe died. It was his mother who told Gans that towage to Goldfield, Ny, to wrest the lightweight championship that he must "bring home the bacon." Joe brought home the "bacon," built the Goldfield Hotel. He and his mother lived in clover while the pugilist was alive.

DENTAL GRADUATES MAKE FINE RECORD (Special to The New York Aor.) Baltimore, Md.—The skill with which twelve graduates of the dental department of Howard University, Washington, filled teeth at the tests before the Maryland State Dental Board last week. The exam was a number of white applicants who were not so well prepared. They passed all tests with flying colors. "I never saw any darkies as smart and as well equipped since I was born," the commander made by one white man of the colored demographics. The spectacle of Alfred C. Bedford, the active head of the Standard Oil Company, pleading for the establishment of better relations between the races in the United States, and predicting that after war colored and white Americans are going to make the United States the greatest and grandest country ever known, was one of the many inspiring incidents to arouse great enthusiasm at the complimentary dinner Monday evening in the new building of the Carleton Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A., Brooklyn. Mr. Bedford, who has contributed largely to the building fund, made it apparent that our kinds of finance are not mindful of the presence of thousands of Negroes in northern communities and are somewhat concerned over the coming of members of the race in large numbers into a strange and new environment. There are many colored people in Brooklyn, and Mr. Bedford, in his capacity, will have false ideas on some subjects like ideas as to their rights. This branch has a big work ahead in assuring these new customers to properly adjust their services to their new condition. Bring them to the building complex with open arms and graduate from their beats the prejudice and insisted against their allowances. Help them to reach their goals by providing them with training to be able to assimilate into the military service, to continue from June 20 to 25, were sent to the University by Provost Murray.

A., stated that $217,282 was expended to give the Carlton Avenue Branch its new and well equipped home, divided as follows: Building, $169,518; building lots, $2,774; house furnishings, $20,000. E. H. Wilson, chairman of the committee of management of the branch, made one of the most interesting talks of the evening in which he injected reincarnations of slavery. Mr. Willis then been connected with the branch for many years. R. M. Meroney, the efficient branch secretary, told of a vision which had become a reality and of the efforts he and his associates had put forward to get a modern building. He spoke of the great service the branch would be able to perform for the community in helping to mould character and of the advantages the new building affords for development of spirit, mind and body.

C.—Orders for the mobilization of 40,000 caliber draft registrants, qualified for national military service, to commence from June 20 to 25, were sent out immediately by Provost Marshal (APPROVAL) Beaufort, S.C.—There is a Cemetery located on the outskirts of this city, where 10,000 soldiers of the great Civil War are buried. Among the sleeping dead are many hundreds of Negro soldiers. For 50 years the people of Benchtown, Charleston, North Carolina has in the habit of coming to this consecrated spot to decorate these honored graves. For a long time no distinction was shown in these annual celebrations on account of color, but, perhaps, since the establishment of a marine training station near the city, a jim crow celebration has been imputed. Negroes march, celebrate and decorate the morning and the white folks go through a similar program in the afternoon. But the marine brass band is sent over from the training station to take part in the celebration on both occasions. In the morning, when the Negroes celebrate, the white band leads the procession and the colored band follows. This procession was going to the Negroes from the time that it was introduced. The Iton, J. I. Washington, the only colored lawyer who practices at the Beaufort bar, was the speaker of the day. His address was quite lengthy. It makes 17 pages of typewritten matter, and would be mighty good reading if it could be published. But space should be given to one passage, where he attacks this jim crow celebration. It follows: "We have no apologies to offer or excuses to make for performing these sacred services to the memory of our hero dead. It is but fitting and proper that these services should be held, that the graves of these brave men should be kept green, and at least once each day and once every day, and die over their remains to show our devotion and appreciation. Every loyal citizen, white and black, living within a reasonable distance of this city of the dead, should be here at this hour to participate in these memorial services. There should be no division when it comes to the performance of a duty of this kind. The question of race and color should be addressed and all should in making this a truly Memorial Day. The plan of having two memorial services on this day—one for the colored people and one for the white people in the same cemetery should be frowned down, and condemned by all who claim to have honor and respect for the memory of these dead heroes, and who lay claim to love of country, especially in these days of boasted loyalty and patriotism, in the country is putting forth every effort conflict known to mankind. Every man to unite all its forces in the greatest woman and child in America is expected to do this and her part in this gigantic struggle. Every movement looking toward the winning of this terrible war is wring the union of forces, a cooperation of endeavors, co-ordination of resources. All the people are called upon, to join the battle, to the court, to forward the tale of Liberty and Thrift Streams, to encourage their lives in the great Red Cross mission, and to help about the Y.M.C.A. And then, the people are called to brave and brave in Presbyterianism and to their pastures were introduced. The conference adjourned; Sunday evening.

Sullivan Clarkson, who was many years a prominent member of the Republican party organization Friday of last week at the home of H. R. Clarkson, in Newark, Mr. Clarkson, widely known about the country as Gen. Clinton by reason of his Gen. Clinton First Postmaster-General during Harrison Administration, was 76 years of age. His home was at Sleepy Hollow Park, Tarrytown, N. Y. For many years he was a member of the Republican National Committee from Iowa, and from 1902 to 1910 he occupied the position of Surveyor of the Port of New York.

During the period of John Brown's work, and up to the Harvest Ferry raid, Mr. Clarkson frequently met Brown and actively co-operated with him. He was President of the Republican League of the United States in 1891 and it is said that he declined an offer from President Harrison to enter the Cabinet as Secretary of the diplomatic post with the invention of London. Throughout his political career Gen. Clarkson remained a staunch friend of the race and could always be relied upon to support their claims for rightful recognition. The last appearance of Gen. Clarkson at a National Convention was in 1912 at Chicago, when he became his former prominence in Republican councils he was unknown to the steerpeeper, who was unwilling to grant him admission. The Edition of Time Ace happened along with the recognition Gen. Clarkson, secured by the alternate's ticket last. Last be got word to the Gen.

A favorite subject with the artists of the middle ages was the so-called "Dance of Death," an allegorical representation of the power of death over all ranks and ages. If a modern artist were to choose this subject for his canvas, he would find ample material for his brush in some of the modern choreographic exhibitions staged at some of our public balls and picnics. Some of these exhibitions in parish might be styled the dance of death to a maiden's modesty. The shocking part of the performance to the onlooker is the vulgar manner in which the male dancer handles his partner, while they both go through contortions suggestive of mere animalism. Such exhibitions probably had their origin in the levee dance halls, but they have no place in the program of a supposedly civilized and cultured community. Mothers should warn their daughters against indulging in such indecent exhibitions, as the results cannot be otherwise than harmful. It may be that many of those of tender years who are led into these dances, do not realize the shocking character of the performance in which they participate. It is up to their parents or guardians to prevent their participation in an orgy that is sure death to all modesty and refinement. Preserve the bloom on the fruit as long as possible, as too much handling can only lead to decay. Cut out the "Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble." WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS. Of course, in its primary meaning, the term democracy signifies the rule of the people or the people regarded as rulers of the government, either directly or through duly elected representatives. To be effective such government must be actuated by a high degree of public spirit or patriotism. As the present world war has been hailed as a struggle to establish a world-wide democracy, the term becomes of greater significance, especially as it affects the Negro. Since the state of democracy carries with it an equality of rights and privileges for the individuals composing it, it also involves an equality of obligation to meet its demands and fulfill the themselves to exercise justice and to fulfill their purpose therefore behooves the members of a democracy, or those who seek to become component parts thereof, to qualify themselves to meet all the duties and obligations incumbent upon its members. It cannot be denied that the war has widened the scope of democratic institutions in this country, without regard to race or condition. Men have been selected for military service from all colors and creeds, and industrial opportunities have opened to the workers of the nation as never before. Negroes have been enlisted in the industries, as well as in the military forces of the country on a broader basis of service than was ever before granted. In fact so great has been the demand for skilled workers and men of clerical ability, that the demand has exceeded the candidates available for the places. This condition emphasizes the necessity for greater efficiency and preparedness on the part of the members of the race to enter the ranks of the skilled workers and other occupations demanding technical training. There should be more qualified stenographers and typists, not mere dubs at the task, but efficient operators. There should be a greater number of carpenters, electricians, machinists, blacksmiths, plumbers, painters, boat makers, riveters, etc. If they are at present barred from service in the Navy, and the Air service, there are other branches of the military establishment open to them and many industrial plants would gladly accept their services if they could be obtained in sufficient numbers. Then there is the period after the war to be considered. While the immigration of foreign labor may be slight in the immediate period following the dawn of peace, it is extremely likely that many of the workers of the war stricken nations will seek to escape from the lands where they have suffered so greatly and endeavor to start anew in the land of opportunity. It is up to the Negro to so firmly intrench himself as an indispensable industrial factor that no invasion of foreign labor can wrest from him the rightful place in the country's industries that he has earned. Only by efficiency and preparedness can this be accomplished. Our industrial and technical schools have made a beginning in this work of preparedness, but there is great need for acceleration of the further work to be done in this direction. AN EQUAL STANDARD. One of the most serious grievances suffered by Negro labor in the South has been the enforcement of a lower standard of pay than that given to white labor for similar work. This discrimination of course tended to make a lower standard of living for the workers of the race and greatly hampered their material progress. The railroads of the South were conspicuous offenders in this particular, owing to the large number of Negroes employed as firemen, trainmen, switchmen, laborers and for other work. These laborers received about two-thirds of the wage paid to white labor in the same capacity. In the general pay increases for railroad workers, announced recently by Director General McAdoo, he made the following significant recommendation: Women are to receive the same pay as men for the same work and Negroes are to get the same as white men for similar employment. As the Government is now operating the railroads of the country, through the Director General, this ruling has the force of law so far as the railroads are concerned. It should have a great moral effect VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, Commercial Messrs. THE CASE OF THE COLORED WAITER. The rulings recently made by the War Department regarding certain occupations again bring to the front the case of the colored waiter. Some of the New York hotel proprietors have announced that they will fill any gaps that might be made in the ranks of their waiters with colored men of experience over the draft age. We hope that this step will be taken, and we hope also that if colored waiters ever get back into the hotels of New York and other large northern cities they will take such a tight grip on the jobs nothing will be able to pry them loose. How is it that colored men have to such a great extent lost this remunerative work? How is it that the white waiter, who is comparatively a new comer, has forced them out of nearly all of the big hotels of the North? There are several reasons. Let us say, first of all, it was not through prejudice. It was a matter of competition, and the white waiter won out. The first class white waiter looks upon his work as a profession. He studies it, he takes a pride in it and, above all, he keeps himself fit for it. He may have come to this country speaking only German or French or Italian, but he soon learns to speak good English, and so he is always a two-language man, and often a three-language or even a four-language man. The ability to serve foreign guests who do not speak English gives the first class white waiter a tremendous advantage to start with. Then, he takes pride in his work and regards it as steady employment. There are waiters in the big hotels of New York who can buy and sell several times over many of the people they serve; but it would be as hard to get one of them to give up his work as it would be to get a politician to resign a government job. But, the determining factor in this competition was that the first class white waiter makes it a part of his business to keep himself fit for his job. When he knocks off he makes it a general rule to go home and get to bed; and so he comes back to work with his body rested, clean and neat, and with his brain clear. What has been the condition among colored waiters? Thirty or forty years ago there was among colored people themselves some sort of a foolish "social disgrace" attached to being a waiter. It was then common to apply to waiters what was intended as an odious epithet, "bone polisher." There is no doubt that this attitude among colored people toward the work of hotel waiting lessened the colored waiter's chance in the competition with the white waiter, for it made many of the men ashamed of the work they were doing. For a long time—that is, since the war—colored hotel waiters were divided into two classes. First, there were the young, ambitious men who used the work merely as a stepping-stone, as a means to put themselves through college or through the law, medical or theological schools. As soon as they finished their schooling they took up the work for which they had been preparing themselves. Then there was the larger class of those who were waiters and who did not plan or expect to be anything else but waiters; yet they were not able to hold their own against the white waiter in the big all-year-round hotels of the North. The reasons for their failure are many: They did not study and prepare themselves took no particular pride in it; their main re was that they had nothing else to do. But more detrimental still was the fact the colored waiter was always a gentleman waiter was purely incidental. As soon as he proceeded immediately to give an imitation of people he had been waiting on. This he did it of entertainment that he sought. And so it for the colored waiter, dressed in his most ma at a ball until the wee hours and, perhaps, too to his work without sleep or chance to fresh clothes.

It was not unusual to hear a waiter of that class make the expression: "I was so dead tired, I was standing at my station asleep on my feet." The colored waiter has held on fairly well in the big all-year-round hotels of Boston and a few other cities of the North, but for Many of the men have become fluent French talkers and I have heard animated conservations between them and the Senegalese who chanced to be passing. The American Negro lads get along famously with both white and black Frenchmen. In their dealings with the feminine population they are punctiliously polite and not a single complaint has been lodged against them in this respect. Naturally they are delighted at the complete lack of racial prejudice they have found in France and some of them have declared to me their intention of remaining here after the war. Their pride in their unit speaks well for a continuance of the high morale they have manifested so far. The soldiers show their good sense by acquiring a speaking acquaintance with the polite language and it will no doubt facilitate their dealings with the inhabitants, as well as their brothers in arms. The natural adaptability of the race will be of great help in enabling them to make the best of their experience abroad. That these gentler diversions will not make them lose sight of their chief mission in France was shown in General Pershing's award of credit to Private Henry Johnson and Private Needham Roberts last week, for a "notable instance of bravery and devotion." upon other employers of Negro labor. With the Government fixing the standard of equal pay for labor, regardless of color, there is every reason to hope that individual employers will adopt the same principle. Such action would do away with one of the serious causes of unrest among the Negroes of the South. LEARNING FRENCH. The merry jest of the war correspondents anent the consternation of the colored soldiers on discovering fellow fighters of their own complexion in the French Army, who did not understand English, is losing its point. Instead of exclaiming over the fact that the other fellow had seemingly been over there so long that he had forgotten his own language, the Negro Americans are learning to speak French themselves. A correspondent with the American Army in France gives the following picture of the Negro in khaki: They are over here, their typical Negro selves. The standard of intelligence in the unit is extremely high, no illiteracy is noticeable. He has managed to hold his own in the resort hotels, but there are reasons for that which do not reflect any extraordinary credit on him. In the first place, the colored waiter has stuck firmly to the resort hotel because it offers considerable gratification to his desire for a "good time." Work in an all-year-round hotel is pretty much the same as work in a factory or at a trade; the employees live scattered about the city in their various homes and stopping places, and are supposed to go there when their work is done. Work in a resort hotel brings continual change. Change from North to South, from seaside to mountains; the employees live practically together, and there is the fun of being together, there is the singing, and there are the baseball games, and the poker and dice games too—these latter ought to be prohibited by every headwaiter. On the whole, work in resort hotels takes on the nature of a big semi-annual picnic. But, perhaps, the main reason why the colored waiter has remained supreme in the resort hotels is that it would be a difficult matter to get the first class white waiter to give up his steady job in the all-year-round hotel for the migratory, six-months-work-in-the-year job which the resort hotels offer. There cannot be very much money for the common waiter who works at the seaside or in the mountains through June, July and August, then loafs around until January to go South, where he works through January, February and March, then loafs around again until June. However, there has been a great change within the last eight or ten years. An intelligent and enterprising set of men who realize the importance of the work are at the head of the business. The men now have their associations, their schools for waiters, and even their own publications. It is probable that the old type of colored waiter who lost out in the competition with the white waiter is fast passing or has competely passed away. There is in his place a set of men who thoroughly understand what they must do to hold their own in this field of useful employment. If these men get a footing in the big all-year-round hotels of New York and the other large cities, we believe they will be able to keep it. THE IUDGE APOLOGIZES One division of the Circuit Court in and for Duval County, Fla., is presided over by Judge Daniel A. Simmons. Recently in charging the grand jury, the Judge, among other things that he said, made the following remarks anent the Ku Klux Klan: At one time it was supposed necessary in this Southland of ours to deal with a certain condition by a form of mob violence, known as the Ku Klux Klan, and the Ku Klux Klan very promptly and very efficiently dealt with the question of carpet bag rule and Negro domination in the South. But, like all mob violence, it overflowed its bounds; it broke its tether and ran away, and became the synonym of, and the stamping ground for all kinds, of lawlessness, acts of bandits, rowdyism, murder, arson and raping, which it took years and years to stamp out. We do not know just why the Judge made these remarks to the grand jury of Duval County, but we are given to understand that they were a sort of obiter dicta called forth by the proposal on the part of some citizens of Jacksonville that a group dressed to represent the Kn Klux Klan be included in the big parade which launched the Third Liberty Loan drive in that city. At any rate, the remarks were entirely in place. They are remarks of a kind that ought to be made by judges to grand juries and petit juries in every county and every court, not only in the South, but all over the country. It is a time when judges everywhere should feel it a part of their duties to say to everybody connected with our courts of justice something about the growing evil of mob violence and lawlessness. However the grand jury may have taken Judge Simmons' remarks, certain citizens of Jacksonville felt that he had gone too far; that what he said was a reflection on the South and upon a noble organization. The citizens who felt this way have been considerable in numbers or of considerable influence; for the Judge deemed it wise to enter an explanation. On the next day he again addressed the grand jury on the Ku Klux Klan. After stating why he was going back to the subject, he said: As you know, I spoke purely extemporaneously; I used no notes of any kind. I didn't note at the time I began talking to you gentlemen that I would even refer to the Ku Klux Klan, but I did not intend to say, and I am sure you did not understand me to say that the Ku Klux Klan, which I said was organized for the purpose of freeing the South of Negro domination and carpet bag rule, which did free the South of Negro domination and carpet bag rule, was a bunch of rowdies and bandits from the beginning. Such was not the case. Every unbiased student of history knows that such was not the case, and that the real manhood of the South, the real Anglo-Saxon people of the United States, was organized into that noble clan to free our beloved Southland of the black pall that had settled down upon it as a result of the misguided judgment of our friends of the North. Explanations of this sort seldom make things any better. What Judge Simmons had said was said It was in plain, direct and perfectly clear language. In his expiration he rings in "Anglo-Saxon" and "beloved Southland" and "Negro domination," but all of that has very little bearing on his first statement, which was a condemnation of mob violence, no mattersow "laudable" the object or how sincere the motives of the perpetators. A statement highly becoming a judge. The only force the explanation could have would be as an apology. Here we have an incident which illustrates how difficult it is to have anything like a free discussion of opinion in the South; and it is this, more than anything else, that keeps the South backward. It takes a mighty brave man in the South to express an opinion which runs counter to "general Southern opinion," and nine times out of ten he has to take it bad or camouflage it over so that it has no resemblance to its original sense. The intellectual and moral growth of a community can continue only through men having the right and privilege to sight for their ideas in the arena of public opinion. And to sight for them and hold to them until they are vanquished; and vanquished not by the club of conformity, but by the greater truth of other ideas. Growth of this kind is absolutely precluded in the greater portion if the South. We wish there were more men in the South like Judge Simmons, brave enough to make a statement of truth, even if it does run counter to general opinion; and we wish there were more of them enough braver to stand by such a statement after making it, and who would neither modify it or tie it back or apologize for it. FOR RACE PUBLICATIONS, To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE, I enclose you herewith money order for one year's subscription to your interesting paper. I should be pleased if I could procure a few subscriptions, at least for THE ACE in this vicinity, as I think it should be patronized by every member of the race, especially those who do not take any of the race publications. ELIZA E. CLEBORN IN SOUTH DAKOTA To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AME We have a few Negroes scathed in Hughes and Sullly Counties of the State, who are interested in diversified farming, not one owning less than 10 acres of land; from that on up to over 1,000 acres, and fairly well stocked which means they are prospering. After reading the paper, it would be very hard to be without it, as it leaves one in touch with the race. Really cannot express the pleasure it brings in the home, so far away from race roundings. We look anxiously for the arrival. WILLIAM SMITH FROM CALIFORNIA To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACK Find enclosed check for your able paper for another year. We ask you for the regularity of the paper each week in our home. Enclosed also, the check of the only other number of our race in this town except our own family. He, like our family, that it is his duty to support Tax as much as we can in the fight paper is making for the uplift of race. I wish each of the old subscribers would try and get some friend to send in their subscription for Tax. I know every one that reads Tax will be well pleased. FILED FOR REFERENCE To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE Enclosed please find money order for renewal of my subscription. We cannot do without THE ACE. It is our welcome and admired weekly visitor. Its sane reasoning and fearless and answerable attack upon whatever sources tend to humiliate the Negro or to retard his progress, make your paper the beacon light of all the Negro journals I have read. I wish a copy was received in every Negro home in the land weekly, and as many into the home of our white friends. Possibly a more humane view would be taken of the Negro, and a higher regard for his efforts to rise and his rights as a citizen would be accorded. Its value would be computed in dollars and cents, but $5.00 per year would be cheap for it. I file each copy away for future reference as it contains in valuable information which require much patience and research to obtain. G. E. REED THE COLORED WAITER. (Boston Record) The New York Sun foresees a possibility of a return to the custom of employing colored waiters in high grade hotels, as a consequence of the Crowder "work or fight" order, it appearing to the Sun that "there are more competent colored waiters above the draft age than there are who waiters." The Sun at the same time cites "the contention of hotel restaurant keepers that colored waiters cannot be successfully employed where a French cuisine is maintained. The colored waiters it is said cause master the language of the menu." May we call the friendly Sun's attention to the fact that two of Boston's hotels, which are two of the best and most famous in the country, employ colored waiters, many of whom have been in continuous service for years, and know countless of the country's most eminent hotel patrons through their service? These Boston colored waiters have no difficulty with the French menu, and there is no better service in any hotel in the country than that which they give. LET US LAUGH An Old Friend.

I should offer these few state, prior to the great mass meeting which we are planning to hold in the city of our nurses. Although some interested friends who have made enquiries in our behalf have informed that colored nurses have accepted in the Red Cross, the nurses themselves are entirely ignorant of their acceptance. The American Red Cross Society will accept as members, for moral support only, anyone who contributes one dollar toward their organization. Numbers of our nurses as well as others who are in sympathy with the great work the Red Cross is doing, have contributed their dollars and received the acknowledgment that they are considered members of the Red Cross Society (just as any other organization considers those who contribute toward its support, members), but this is not the bad of membership the colored nurse desires. We desire to be not simply members of the American Red Cross Nursing Association, but to be American Red Cross nurses. We do not object to giving our nurses, rather we consider it a privilege, but we should like also to give our services. There is an appalling shortage of nurses, but the Surgeon General does not find it "convenient" at this time to accept the services of two thousand colored nurses who are ready for service. It is not my purpose in making these public, to criticize the Red Cross. We have their assurance that they are perfectly willing to enroll us as soon as there is a possibility of our assignment to duty by the Surgeon General. The problem confronting us now is the securing of this assignment to duty. In our mass meeting (the details of which will be announced later) we hope to be able to formulate some method of procedure in gaining the recognition of the Surgeon General. JERSEY CITY, N. J.

SQUARE DEAL FOR RED CAPS (BY LESTER A WALTON) JAMES H. WILLIAMS, manager of the Grand Central Terminal Red Caps, complains that Nat Strong is doing everything he can to keep the Red Caps from securing choice dates. This charge ought to be looked into at once, and if the facts are found to be as Manager THE MISSING MAN Williams represents the colored fans should rally to the cause of the Red Caps. This is not the first accusation of this kind that has been lodged against Nat Strong. Some years ago when John W. Connor was owner and manager of the Royal Giants it was charged by Connor that Strong was not acting as he should relative to providing desirable dates for the Royal Giants. Mr. Connor until this day insists that he was discriminated against. Manager Williams asserts that Mr. Strong is trying to corner all the colored ball players. As for Nat Strong's desire to get as many colored players as he can or his ambition to have the best colored team and secure the best playing dates we have nothing to say. It is an honorable ambition. But objections are made in these columns to any attempt of his or any white manager to discriminate against a colored manager and then expect loyal support from the colored fans. Nat Strong or no other white manager would adopt discriminatory tactics if it was thought that the colored public would strongly object. But it is well known to white amusement promoters that in Harlem and vicinity the colored people are not as keen for patronizing their own as in Chicago and other cities. No colored baseball manager has been very much of a success in these parts for several years. The white promoters run the teams, ask the enthusiastic support of the public press (gratis) and make money, which comes in a large measure from the pockets of Negroes. There is no objection to white managers separating the colored fans from their dimes if they show a willingness to let some colored manager or managers in on the deal, but invariably they seem to be actuated by a spirit of selfishness. Their motto seems to be: "Get the colored public's money but keep out the colored manager." A more desirable and equitable state of affairs can be brought about, but not until the colored people themselves take the matter in hand. A game between the CAPTAIN EARLE Of the Red Caps. ```markdown ``` Lincoln Giants and the Grand Central Terminal Red Caps would be more greatly enjoyed than a match between the Lincoln Giants and a white team. If the colored fans demand that Manager Williams' nine be given desirable dates their wish will be gratified. But it will take more than street-corner, barber-shop and bar-room talk to turn the trick. GRAND CENTRAL RED CAPS BUSY WITH BATS Kimbro and Earle were the batting heroes in Sunday's game at Dyckman Field between the Red Caps of the Grand Central and Kingsbridge, which ended 8 to 1 in favor of the Red Caps. Kimbro cleared the sacks with a homer and Earle also got a round-trip ticket. Earle is doing some heavy hitting this season. Sunday week he made a four-bagger.

I have sung so many songs Of so many, many men, Song of so many, many men, Some I'd like to meet again; But all of the blessed bunch, Big or little, or small, There is no one in the world Like our 'college,' after all If they're looking for a fight, And poor "ump" is growing pale, Earle comes up so sweet and calm, Doesn't have to raise a gale, But he doesn't, Sends them all back with a smile, While the fans just sit and cheer, Till you hear it half a mile Can he hit, and can he slide? Oh he can hit a better run? Watch the G. C. Red Caps then, And he'll show you how it's done Seven hits a single game I'mn't anything at all, But So he's in the game once more, With his team of hunky men, Earle, the captain, full of pep, Come to bring us joy again. We will journey miles and miles Just to see you again! Oh, we're mighty glad indeed That he's back with us to-day. L'Envol. Yes, there may be newer men, Younger men, and faster, too.

The show abounds in tuneful songs, there being thirty-three in all, and the humor is enough to make one temporarily forget about the war and the U-boats said to be in American waters. S. Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt continue to grow in importance as comedians and in "My People" work up some very funny situations. Daisy Martin, who always puts plenty of "pep" in her work, Lena Sanford Roberts, Al Watts and Luke Scott, are among the other members of the company who show to advantage. C.

James Ed- Gregg, principal of Hampton In- situte and successor to the late Dr. Jim F. Frissell, before presenting means to the 76 members (33 boys and 42 girls) of the graduating class, on "The Soldierly Spirit." Mr. said: "The soldierly spirit means super- ior to the mercenary motive; it is spirit of loyalty, not only to but to the great cause and deed for which one's country implies some of the virtues often lost sight of in our mod- life—obedience, patience, self-con- scious, and it is the spirit of viewing not as a problem, but as an ad- nure. Armstrong and Frisell night of their work, not as a difficult problem, but as a glor- wonderful adventure in which world to engage." Bishop W. W. Clinton of Char- mell C. v. spoke on "The Influence Thought on Character." He selecte- d these texts: "For as we thinkk with himself, so is he;" and "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be my praise, think on these things." War Lessons. Bishop Clinton, referring to the Great War, said: "There are false teachings abound in our time. There are errors of docte- nine and opinion. There are false views as to the rights and privileges of men especially when they happen to be of our own kind; when they not see as we see; think as we think; and do as we do or would harm them do "We should search for truth until we find it, and finding we should think upon it. We should for the truth." Mr. Gregg, in opening the commencement program, paid a warm tribute to Dr. George P. Phenix, Hampstead's Vice Principal since 1908.
