PULLMAN CO. CLERKS DRAW LINE ON WIVES OF SOLDIERS The New York Age is CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES a MEMBER OF THE FAMILY it IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELLOOMED. VOL. XXXI. NO. 38. Discrimination Is Reported to Director General McAdoo. UNABLE TO GET BERTH Wife of Colored Captain Tells of Difficult Time She Had in Her Efforts to Secure Pullman Accommodations Between St. Louis and New York—Was On Her Way to See Her Husband Before He Left for "Over There." The attention of Director General McAdoo is to be directed to a number of cases in which the wives of officers in the National Army desirous of visiting their husbands, have been refused accommodation on Pullman cars because of their color. A young women residing in St. Louis, whose husband is a captain, recently had a most trying experience. The young woman in question is the daughter of one of St. Louis' oldest and most highly-respected colored families, and was until recently a teacher in the public schools of that city. She decided to pay a visit to her husband, a captain in one of the regiments of the 92nd Division, and who came to Camp Upton several days ago from the Middle West. Upon applying at the Pullman office in the Union Station for a berth from St. Louis to Pittsburgh, the captain wife was told that she could not get accommodations as all the berths—upper and lower—had been taken. Knowing that the clerks employed by the Pullman Company at the Union Station are usually discourteous and reluctant about selling berths to colored people, the young woman boarded a fast train over the Pennsylvania, explained her plight to a Pullman conductor, and was fortunate in getting sleeping accommodations. She says there were several berths vacant and also charges that while at the Pullman window white people were sold berths for the same train. When the train reached Pittsburgh and all passengers for New York were compelled to change, the captain's wife was unable to secure a seat in the parlor car; but thanks to an obliging Pullman porter a seat was finally obtained. Colored citizens are going to ask Director General McAdoo if it is going to be the policy of the United States Government to discriminate against the wives of those who are fighting to help make this world safe for democracy TO DECIDE RED CROSS NURSE QUESTION SOON (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) WASHINGTON, D. C. The situation with regard to the use of colored Red Cross nurses is a matter which also is now receiving the attention of the War Department. Emnett J. Scott advises that the Secretary of War will soon announce through the office of the Surgeon-General, the decision with reference to the utilization of the many competent women of the race who have so cheerfully registered their willingness to aid in the winning of the war by serving as nurses in the military hospitals at home and abroad. BANKS-CRESWELL FACTION VICTORIOUS (Special to TU, New York, Age 17) (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) MOVED BAYOU, Miss.—The Supreme Court of Mississippi has decided in favor of the Banks-Creswell faction in the controversy for mayor of Mound Bayou. Twelve months ago the Governor of Mississippi sided with the Booze faction, naming Mr. Booze mayor. Attorney Perry W. Howard took the matter into the courts for the Banks Creswell faction, securing a decision for his clients in the highest court of the State. MRS. HUNTON TO FRANCE AS CANTEEN WORKER M. Aaddie W. Hunton of Brooklyn, and Miss Kathryn M. Johnson of Chicago, sailed Tuesday for France where they will serve under the Y. M. C. A as canteen workers. They expect to join Mrs James L.

(Special to THE NEW YORK AUSTRALIA, GA.—The annual colored student conference of the Young Women's Christian Association held a ten days' session at Spelman Seminary which was attended by 106 delegates, representing Alcorn College, Allen University, Benedict College, Bluefield Institute, Claflin University, Coleman College, Daytona National, Fisk University, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College, Fort Valley Institute, Haines Institute, Hampton Institute, Howard University, Jackson College, Knoxville College, Lincoln Academy, Mississippi Institute, Morristown Normal School, Prairie View Normal, Shaw University, Spelman Seminary, South Carolina State College, Talladega College, Tuskegee Institute, Tennessee State Normal and Wiley University.

Miss Helen Tuck of the Louisville Young Women's Christian Association had charge of recreational activities. Miss Eva Bowles, city Young Women's Christian Association secretary; Miss Adelae Ruffin, War Work Council, and Miss Catherine Lealtad, student secretary, were among the leaders. Miss Katherine Blackburn, Young Women's Christian Association secretary in South Africa. Conducted one of the missionary sessions. In spite of the war, representation increased thirty-eight per cent this year. The group contained some of our brightest and most earnest Christian girls Miss Flemmiken, South Atlantic field secretary, says our girls are more wide awake to the present world crisis than the white girls in her field and their response to the challenge has realised the need for Gross tense desire for preparation for Christian leadership and are very responsive to the call for personal service for others in this time. The young women have a growing realization of the opportunities now opening their doors to them. Perhaps one of the most remarkable things was absence of hatred or bitterness toward the other race and the spirit of sympathy and readiness to do all they can in alleviating the suffering of the present conditions.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.-Public attention has been directed to the case of seven or eight colored men who have been convicted in jail here since last December. The men are held as witnesses in the case of another colored man known as "Baby Doll" Thomas, who is charged with murder.

The man has been made to force a trial of the case and Attorney William H. Lewis of Boston, ahs been retained to defend Thomas.

A Alexander extracted a leaden bullet from the wound, although the military police use steel bullets. A white civilian is said to have been in the policeman's company. The lad has not yet been arraigned, on account of his condition. Following this incident, on Monday a policeman created a great deal of excitement in one of the busiest blocks by shooting wildly and excreted four times at a man charged with stealing automobile tires. A young white woman, evidently a clerk in one of the stores along Sycamore street, clapped her hands in the keenest enjoyment of the police claim: "Oh, that policeman shot four times at that nigger and missed him!" It never entered her mind that a police officer has no right to murder even a thief who endeavors to evade arrest. The bullets flew fast, endangering the lives of pedestrians. One struck the window of a store and another imbedded itself in a post. It is said that the white citizens have taken the matter up. NO COLORED OFFICERS IN ARTILLERY REGIMENTS CAMPAIGN N. J.

LIBERIA MAKING GOOD. © For many years it has been th “custom to refer to the Republic of \sritieria in terms of dlisparagement ‘ar at least of commiseration. Espe- Sally has this been the case witl boxe white Americans who have had cause to visit or even to refer 7 t6'the West African republic Sa it is refreshing to note the utter: ances of Bishop Lloyd, of the Prot. estant Episcopal ‘Church, President of the Board of Missions and Bishop of Liberia, in a recent com. mencement address," when he took . occasion to compare the task of the gdiiberians with that of the American "Negrées. He gaid. among other things: ‘% SAAT have acen a strange thing—the NEUE tate seen & strange thing tha “\Africans, ate! working owt thet, own |); \ destiny without Tet '6c ‘bindrames— Where pure-blooded Africins aie working out the problems of citizen Ship. aye seen how Unese Afri cans make good, with no white man’s hand guiding, helping, or sue- porting them. I have seen the cour- age, enthusiasm, and force of Afri- canwho have built for themselves a republic in the face of untold obstacles, Statements unworthy of Liberia are generally untrue, The Liberians are not degenerate, neither are they dishonest. Liberia has never defaulted a dollar. Liberia is not jmmoral. Liberia's morality is identical with your morality. Liberia's dream of the future is identical with yours. This missionary Bishop sees good work being done ih the A frican-field and has the honesty and the courage to give credit whereit properly be longs. Many Tre in theit mistaken zeal to magnify the needs of their work, paint conditions in the most forbidding colors, showing the worst side of the people com- mitted to their pastoral care. The Negro in America,pas frequently suffered in this manner. In view of this tendency, the statement of Bishop Lloyd concern- ing Liberia is all the more gratify- ing to the friends of that country. In ‘the present world struggle Li- beria has thrown her lot with the allies and her capital city, Mon- rovia, has already paid the penalty in becoming the object of attack by the enemy's submarines. Her gov- ‘érnment and people are therefore the more deserving of sympathy and encouragement in the progress they are making in political and moral development. TUSKEGEE’S CONSTRUC- TIVE SERVICE. ‘The recent celebration of the celebration of the Second Founder's Day at Tuskegee Institute afforded an exceptional opportunity to re- view some of Tuskegee’s achieve- ments under Dr. Moton’s construe- tive direction. Under Dr, Moton’s incumbency, Tuskegee has given some of its best efforts to the na- tion for the prosecution of the war. The appointment of Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the institute, as special assistant to the Secretary of War, was a tribute, not only to ‘Tuskegee, but especially to Dr. Moton, who showed, in urging Mr. Scott for his larger ficld of service, a broad conception of the national function of his institution. Mr. Scott's appomtment is a most im- portant and far-reaching contribu- tion to the race's progress. His native ability, together with the ripe experience gained as Secretary Dr. Washington for eighteen years, peculiarly fitted him for the task: which has been intrusted to his hands since going to Washington. No appointment of a colored man to high office has been more gener- ally approved by both white and culored people and his invaluable service in the War Department has clearly demonstrated the wisdom of having a colored advisor in the vari- ous departments at Washington. ‘The diplomatic manner in which Mr. Scott has handled the many vexing problems that have come up) for his attention, paved the way for the later appoimmient of Dr. George E. Haynes, of Fisk University, as director of Negro Economies in the pecan of Labor. Dr, Haynes’ appointment was the result of a re- cent conference at the United States Department of Labor at which Dr. Moton was a conspicuous figure. On the afternoon of the same day that the Labor Conference met, Dr. ‘Moton headed a deleganon of white and colored men which conferred with President Wilson on the needs of Liberia. The press despatches} stated that the conference was ar- ranged by Dr. Moton and that he acted as spokesman for the party. A loan of five million ($8,000,000) dollars from the United States: Government to aid in the develop- ment of the resources of the Negro Republic was asked and at the con- clusion of the conf: rence, the Presi- dent expressed himself as being, decply interested and impressed with Liberia’s-possibilities, =. +. Two days'liter, Dr. Motoi rep*| table daydilater, De. Metea sep: VIEWS and.REVIEWS REACTIONARY JOURNALISM. . Very few newspapers, North or South, ean be found just at this time wilen the country still has fresh in mind the atrocities of the war and when the Negro is doing his part in the battle for human- ity and democracy that wik justify or even gpologize for lynching. In fact, most of the Southern papers are condemning the crittie in unqualified terms. Only a couple of weeks ago The Age reproduced an editorial from the Augusta Chronicle which was as strong a con- demnation as any Northern editor could write. It is, ‘therefore, somewhat surprising ‘to see a paper like the Times-Union of Jacksonville come out in an article which. plainly upholds lynching. The article opens with a fling at the North and the West; just as though the North and West had no right to com- plain about what is going on in the South, These are the opening sentencés: The ‘season has come around again, it seems, for another outburst against the South with lynch law as the text and the same wiseacres Nore and West shaking their heads in this direction and declaring that “lynching must stop.” In spite of the ominous looks and menacing murmurs the South, however, refuses to be seriously worried—cither over the “occasional extermination of a wild beast in human form. or the inouthings of notoriety seekers, usually found to be after votes or pat- rouage and willing to do anything to obtain their desires. ‘The Times-Union says that the South refuses to be seriously worried. Well, it had better begin to worry, and seriously, tov. -\ny Southerner who does not know that the South has already paid and will have to pay still more dearly for every one of these crimes is living.in a fool's paradise. And where does the Times-Union get the idea that the outcry against lynching is the mouthings of notor- iety seekers who are after voters or patronage? The country is beginning to feel that these atrocities in the South are embarrassing the nation in its fight for world democracy, and it has a right to cry out against them. If Germany hears that Negréts are being tortured with red-hot irons and burned alive in Tennessee, how much force will our voice have against her unspeakable cruelties? Indecd, how can we as a nation put our best into the fight against the Hun when wwe know that such things are happening within our own borders? This is a matter which no longer affects only the South; nor can she by pointing to one lynching in the North justify ninety-nine that are committed in her own section. ‘The article grows worse as it goes on: Lynching will stop when the world becomes civilized and might is ‘no longer presumed right cither by nations or individuals. In the South, ever since the emancipation of the Negroes, there have been occasional instances of summary punishment meted out to men of the colored race who had perhaps inherited the savagery of their ancestors and detied all laws. Assaults upon women—white and black—bave been responsible for 90 per cent. of the violent deaths of Negro menlat the hands of mobs | in the South—and the other 10 per cent. includés Siyardly attacks upon the aged and the helpless, old men and small children murdered by brutal Negroes, have been avenged by their neighbors. . Such a paragraph as the above would be entirely in place in K. Lamity’s Harpoon, and would not attract any pafticular attention, but ina reputable daily paper it is inexcusable. It contains not only a distortion of the truth, but a plain misstatement of fact. \nd it is a misstatement of fact that appears to be deliberate, for the edi- torial writers on the Times-Union are intelligent and well informed men. They know or could very easily find out that less than five per cent of the victims of lynch law are even accused of rape. Ne- grocs are lynched in the South for every conceivable offense. ‘The latest victim in Georgia was a woman, and she was lynched because she had made “unwise remarks” about the lynching of her hisband, who had been accused of murder. It is nothing less than criminal for a responsible newspaper to publish such a statement. “Lynching will stop when the world hecomes civilized and might is no longer prestimed right either by nations or individuals.” ‘That is about as fine an endorsement of the Hun doctrine of force as could be made. Lynching will stop when the American people are sincere enough and brave enough to see that the people who commit it are punished. ‘This Times-Union editorial runs on at some length in the same vein, and closes with the following paragraph : For the henefit of the agitators who are just now working up a scare, ‘on this proposition, it may be said that the South with its large Negro, population is now, as always. the best place for the Negro and he knows wt The honest. ambitious, hard-working, self-respecting Negro 1s treated with more consideration and given more privileges in the South than he gets anywhere else His Infe and property are secure as long as he behaves himself and the great majority of colored people thoroughly understand the situation, Here we have the same old guff about the South being the best place for the Negro and about how much he loves it. Do the people who get off this stuff think of the Negro as a real human being or as some sort of a two-legged dog? Why should they think that the Negro loves the South, simply because the sun shines warm there? Yes, he loves it; and he has heen showing recently how much he| loves it. Since this war brought the opportunity, about 750,000 SSS eres. resented the Tuskegee Institute at| Profesor Carver's experiments and 3 Conference on Education which| recipes. for using ‘the €weet: fotato’ resented the Tuskegee Institute at a Conference on Education which had been called by Hon. P. P. Clax- ton, United States Commissioner of Education. This conference was called to devise methods and plans for public education after the war and a number of constructive meas- ures were discussed at this confer- ence, many of which will be of ut- most importance to the colored peo- ple of America. In meeting the food crisis grow- ing out of the war, Tuskegee has helped to teach the country the pos- sibilities of vatious foodstuffs, Pos- sibly.the most striking illustration of this propaganda is tho presentation of the alue ‘of the .aweet. potato: Professor Carver's experiments and recipes for using the sweet potate have been widely published through. out the country in daily, weekly and monthly papers. Br. Moton an- nounced recently that Tuskegee will erect a large drying plant this suny mer, which will dry the sweet po- tato and other vegetables and fruits raised in this section. These are a few of the outstand- ing accomplishments of Tuskegec Institute during the past year. Dr ‘Washington founded well an inst- tution which is more than merely a school. Tuskegee is an influence ; an active factor ig’ the development of @ race and jf the progress of a pation, A os jo themthave packed uprand lelty-and’they rg all leavang sts 4-\ There ’may Be boite "Negroes who love’ the South(betause they were born there; and there may be some who love it because the hot sun is good for their rheumatism, But the attributes of being a birthplace and having a pleasant climate are not alone sufficient to entitle a country to one's Jove, The Jews who marched out of Egypt were born there, and no doubt found the climate of Egypt very congenial, but they marched out nevertheless. The Egyptian people made Egypt for the Jews, and the Southern white people make the South for the Negro; the blue sky and the bright waters and the green fields are inconsequential, ‘ Personally, we do not believe that any self-respecting Negro loves the South. If one does, we fear theré is something wrong with his brain or with his backbone. It would not'be natural for a Negro to love the section that permits members of his race to be burried: alive, and that “Jim Crows,” disfranchises and humiliates the whole race. As well expect a Jew to love Russia. ~* Of course, the great bulk of the Negroes stay in the South, and a number of them make protestations of love for Dixie. Well, most people in the world’ have to do a great many things that they do not want to do. . . The colored people who stay in the South may be divided into two classes; those who have so little that they can't leave, and those who have so much that they can’t leave. ‘And the latter are more tightly tied to the section than the former; for if a man has twenty- five or fifty or a hundred thousand dollars worth of property, he will stand a good deal of pressure before he will sacrifice it and get out. It is, after all, very largely an ecdnomic question, and love has mighty little to do with it. | OUT OF THE WAR. Last week the Third Liberty Loan committee of Jacksonville, Fla., presented to the colored people of that city an honor flag for having gone over the top in the last drive. The colored people had been asked to buy $250,000 worth of bonds; they subscribed for more than $290,000 worth. The exercises were held in the armory. Speeches were made by the mayor and other prominent white citizens. The chairman of the Liberty Loan committee in presenting the flag dwelt on the com- pensations of war. He declared that the war had brought great op- portunities to the Negro. He cited as an example that before the war nobody would have believed that the colored people of Jackson- lle would or could purchase nearly three hundred thousand dollars of Government bonds: and he added that their doing so had opened not only the eyes but the hearts of the white people. The acceptance lof the flag on behalf of the colored people was made by Prof. N. W. Collier in a strong and eloquent speech. The large auditorium of the armory was packed. The meeting marked an historical potm in Jacksonville. It marked an historical point not only because it was occasioned by the colored people having subscribed for such a large amount of Uiberty Bonds or because it brought forth expressions of better understanding and better feeling from both races, but also because never before had the colored people been allowd‘any such use of the armory, although it is a public building, paid for out of the common tax fund. C . ‘This armory is a rather yaagnificent building and was finished a couple of years ago. It 1s used botli for military affairs and for large public and semi-public gatherings. It is, in fact, Jacksonville's audnuriury, ‘The first large public affair given there wasea rendition of Coleridge-Taylor’s “Hiawatha” by the Ladies’ Choral Society; a tenor of some reputation was brought from .\tlanta to sing the lead- ing role, and thyaffair was quite an event in musical circles. Some of the music loving colored people of Jacksonville wanted to hear “Hiawatha,” so they took up the matter with the ladies in charge. These ladies seemed to be delighted and asked how many colored people were hikely to come. They were informed that fifty. at least, and perhaps a hundred. All right, they would be welcome. But when these ladies took up the matter with the authorities in charge of the armory, they were informed that colored people would not be allowed in the building. Strangely absurd, wasn't it? opening the building with music from the heart and brain of a col- lored composer, and denying colored people the privilege of listening to it. Many changes have come out of this war, and many more are yet to come.

W. C. A. to deny sleeping accommodations to female theatrical performers at its hostess houses throughout the country, or has this narrow-gauged policy been adopted solely by those in charge of the hostess house of the 367th Infantry at Camp Upton? I am prompted to make this query because of the strange and unchristian position taken by colored representatives of the Y. W. C. A. at Camp Upton who have decreed that colored women making their living on the stage are barred from the hostess house as guests. The first to feel the cruel thrust of discrimination because of her theatrical connections was a well-known singer and actress who volunteered to go to Camp Upton and "do her bit" toward gladdening the hearts of the colored soldiers. After her performance on the first evening of her engagement she left the Buffalo Auditorium happy in the thought that she had played an important part in bringing cheer to those soon to go abroad to fight for democracy. She did not remain in a pleasant frame of mind long, however, for when she applied for a room at the hostess house her request was denied. Investigation by George W. Lattimore, manager of the Buffalo Theatre, brought to light the startling information that the young woman had been refused admittance because she was an actress. No kind of argument could move those in charge of the hostess house to recede from the original position taken: "No actresses are wanted here!" The incident created quite a stir at the time and finally reached the ears of the camp commander. It was not deemed advisable to make public the shameful and uncalled for treatment of the actress for a number of reasons. Such an insistant demand was made by the members of the 367th Infantry for women entertainers on the various bills at the Buffalo Auditorium that the management decided to bring female vaudevillians to camp despite the problem of finding suitable accommodations. At first Manager Lattimore saw to it that they were taken in an automobile after the show to Patchogue, V.I., a distance of twenty miles. As this worked a great hardship on the young women arrangements were made to provide them with sleeping quarters at the building formerly used as the hostess house of the 367th Infantry. My understanding is that up to this writing the Y. W. C. A. representatives have remained unyielding to any and all entreaties of those who have advocated justice for the actress. Perhaps the hostess house people feel that they have dealt with members of the theatrical fraternity with a spirit of fairness and justice. I don't think so. Upon my first visit to Camp Upton in the month of February I paid a visit to the hostess house of the 367th Infantry. The mission of the hostess house was explained and my informant, among other things, stated that the institution would serve as a shelter for members of the gentler sex who came to camp, it being the aim of the Y. W. C. A. to protect female visitors and keep them out of harm's way. Turning young women performers, out into the cold and denying them the right of sleeping quarters does not speak well for Christians whose duty it is to extend a helping hand to those needing assistance. Is the hostess house to be conducted as an exclusive club or is it to serve the public? What right have the directors of the hostess house to exclude young women because they sing and dance for a living? According to George W. Lattimore and others, drastic action was not taken by the Y. W. C. A. officials against female performers because of any disgraceful acts that had been committed, but mainly on account of the assumption that the visitors would be guilty of misconduct. It seems to me that this is a most unfair and inconsistent point of view for Christians engaged in the work of administering spiritual guidance to take. Christianity applied in a practical sense appears to be one of the crying needs of the day. Those who unfortunately have strayed from the straight and narrow path never will be brought into the fold if Christians fraternize with Christians only and look with disdain on the sinner. Let those who walk about in a state of ethereality and are constantly surrounded by a halo of godliness remember that charity and love are two cardinal virtues a good Christian ought to possess and that the One who died for us all went into the highways and byways to welcome those who had not seen the light. He drew no line. LAFAYETTE PLAYERS TO PRESENT 'CAMILLE' A splendid ovation will no doubt be tendered to the Lafayette colored players company who have been away for the past few months playing to capacity houses in Chicago and other points West and who now return with a play that will once more renew and more firmly establish the reputation with which this company has endearled itself to the theatre-going people of Harlem—"Camille." In answer to requests of patrons of the Lafayette Theatre, the Lafayette players will be seen, next weekk, in an elaborate revival of one of the most celebrated plays ever given to the stage, "Camille"—the work of the younger Alexander Dumas. The story of "Camille" is based upon an actual historical character, Marguerite Gautier, by name, an elegant demi-mondaine of Paris, whose life of easy sin and ruthless extravagance is the talk of the French capital. She has had all Paris at her feet; but her first real love affair, curiously enough, is with an awkward boy of the Provinces, Armand Duval, son of General Duval. Although Armand is engaged to a girl of good family, he sacrifices future, reputation, everything, in the workshop of the unfortunate Camille. His devotion proves her salutation; for she quits Paris with all its wickedness and dwells with him in the country. There, General Duval, father of Armand, searches her out and tells her that unless she straightway gives up his on the boy's future wil be ruined. So great is her love that she leaves him, plunging again into the dissipation of Paris with men whom she actually detests. Armand, thinking she has been false, seeks her in Paris and at a public hall openly insults her. The shock is too great. "Camille" swoons swoons and is carried to her home, where she dies of a broken heart in the arms of Armand who, after realizing his mistake, hunts her out and declares his undying passion. This heart-stretch story of passion and love is told in four acts of striking climatical situations and its characters will be portrayed by Abbie Mitchell Tom Brown, Inez Clough, Chas. Olden, Susie Sutton, William Townsend, Alice Gorgas, J. Francis Mores, A B. de Comathiere, Will A. Cooke and Lionel Monages. THE DETTS GIVE RECITAL Portsmouth, Va.—An event, musical and literary in nature, of interest to the citizens of Portsmouth and vicinity was the thoroughly enjoyable piano recital given by Prof. and Mrs R Nathaniel Dett of Hampton Institute, Friday June, 7, at Zion Baptist Church, for the benefit of the War Garden Fund. The large and appreciative audience which filled the church was enthusiastic in its recitation of the offerings of the artists. The selections were splendidly chosen, carefully and thoughtfully arranged, the training and rare talent of these gifted musicians were never more excellently and brilliantly displayed to every advantage than at this recital. The support given by the all-star local talent is worthy of the highest commendation. After the recital a reception was given Prof. and Mrs. Dett at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Patterson. During their stay here they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Fagans. LARGE ATTENDANCE AT THE CLEF CLUB DANCE Friday evening of last week the Clef Club gave its annual.spring concert and dance at Manhattan Casino, and from a standpoint of attendance it was the most successful in years. "The Clef Club has come back good and strong," was a remark frequently made by someone when commenting on the large gathering. Members of the gentler sex were out in large numbers and evening gowns were more strikingly in evidence than at any dance for months. Some of the men also appeared in evening clothes. The concert was to have been given at 11 o'clock, but at that hour the dancing reigned supreme. Later a short program was rendered, Will Marion Cook, Frederick M. Bryant and Lieut. J. Tim Bryan, bandmaster of the 350th Field Artillery Regimental Band, conducting. The numbers were heartily applauded, "The Dancing Deacon" in particular. The entertainment was attended by many out-of-town residents. Dance music was furnished by members of the Clef Club and every number was applauded, the dancers calling for encores.

But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair can hardly be applied without it. It would have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week but to last from six to eight days. When nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. I offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-n-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But it can remove dandruff and promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-n-no-more is solid, under a guarantee to do all that it is claimed for, the money register, or to repurchase receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-n-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair.

I am glad to be given this opportunity to tell you of our work in this respect. The Red Cross is rendering the same service to colored men that it is to white troops. No distinction whatever is being made because of the color of the colored man. Sweaters and other limited goods and comforts have been distributed to white and colored aliens. We are rendering the same service to the families of white and colored alike. Emergency supplies are furnished at the request of colored officers, and in the hospitals, our men who do communication work write letters at the request of enlisted men, without distinction because of color. I remember a specific instance of service reordered to a large number of colored drafted men last fall. They arrived at one of the large Army camps during a period of intensely cold weather. The General in command of the Division appended to us and we were able to furnish him with 2,500 sweaters within a few hours and a total of 10,000 weight ten days. Practically all of the first 2,500 of these sweaters were colored troops, and a great majority of the ten thousand went to them. I hope you will state with as much emphasis as possible that our constant efforts in behalf of the soldier and sailors on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, are rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction.
