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

(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.
Dr. H. C. Bishop of New York gave a series of addresses on "Fundamentals of the Christian Religion." The Rev. H. H. Proctor of Atlanta and Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee preached the Sunday sermons. 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.

"Of all of our regiments and of all of our armies there remains but one with its personnel intact, with its officers the same. In order to expand the regiments to meet war conditions on the other side all the regiments, except one, became different. The various contingents were divided and shifted here and there to fill up and complete the new regiments of 3,000 men. There was but one regiment that carried the flag of its State to the firing line of all the regiments in the Nation. It was proud of its number and name, which is retained. The colors were placed in the hands of the colored sergeant by me. These men have already been in battle. That State flag three days ago came to time in a little box addressed "C.

Dear Chief:
Since I wrote you last I have received two letters, two packages of papers and the precious candy which you sent me. I certainly appreciate your kindness and will always feel obligated to you. Tucker is here with me and helped to enjoy the candy and papers. "Dr." Ransom is stationed at another place, so I will have to tell him about it when I see him.
Well, this is our second attempt on the Germans, and believe me the same old tradition stands good. These boys will all give a good account of themselves every time they have a chance. You can tell them with confidence that this regiment is making good. Wish I could relate some things to you, but the censor will only cut it out. So I will write and tell you when I return, if I am spared to do so. The weather is very hot today and everything is quiet except the artillery. We can tell that they are near. Battles high up in the aid are common sights. Gee, whiza, you should see them. There are over a dozen Grand Central red caps with the 369th and 370th

INNOCENT WITNESSES
(Special to THE NEW YORK AOK.)
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. For some reason the authorities seem unwilling to bring the charge against Thomas to trial and he, as well as the fortunate witnesses, is held in prison. 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. There is a demand for a speedy tril of the case, which it seems should be granted without further delay.

(Special to THE NEW YORK AQR.)
PETERSBURG, Va.—Our people are discussing the wanton and unlawful use by policemen of firearms last week.
On Sunday, while trying to escape arrest for playing dice, a youth was shot in the thigh by one of the military police use steel bullets. 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.

CLEANING UP HARLEM. Intimations are rife that the police authorities are going to clean up Harlem. This cleaning up process is a proceeding of more or less regular intervals and is not confined to any particular section of the city. East Side, West Side, Downtown and Uptown experience a periodical process of police activity, when the officers of the law endeavor to corral as many as possible of the lawless element and put a curb on their operations by arrest, and if possible imprisonment.
The need for such a visitation in Harlem cannot be gain-said. That section has suffered greatly from the operations of apartment house thieves and burglars, as well as less open violators of the law, who are nonetheless dangerous to the community. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the law abiding element of that section to give the police all possible aid and encouragement in the weeding out of the violators of the law. No false sympathy should induce the law abiding to shield or protect the criminal from the punishment he has earned.
It is especially necessary at this time that the community should be made safe for the women and children, many of whom have had their natural protectors taken to serve the nation. In the interest of this class, it is imperative that the homes and their occupants should be protected from harm.
Let the police clean up Harlem and let good Harlemites see that no obstacle is put in their way. Their action is for the good of the whole community, and if carried out with discretion should not harm any law abiding citizen. On the contrary, their action should prove of benefit to all who respect the law and the rights of their neighbors.
LIBERIA MAKING GOOD.
For many years it has been the custom to refer to the Republic of Liberia in terms of disparagement or at least of commiseration. Especially has this been the case with those white Americans who have had cause to visit or even to refer to the West African republic. So it is refreshing to note the utterances of Bishop Lloyd, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, President of the Board of Missions and Bishop of Liberia, in a recent commencement address, when he took occasion to compare the task of the Liberians with that of the American Negroes. He said among other things:
I have seen a strange thing - the only spot on God's earth where
Africans are working out their own destiny without let or blindness where pure-blooded Africans are working out the problems of citizenship. I have seen how these Africans make good, with no white man's hand guiding, helping, or supporting them. I have seen the courage, enthusiasm, and force of African who 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 immoral. 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 in the African-field and has the honesty and the courage to give credit where it properly belongs. Many missionaries in their mistaken zeal to magnify the needs of their work, paint conditions in the most forbidding colors, showing the worst side of the people committed to their pastoral care. The Negro in America has frequently suffered in this manner.
In view of this tendency, the statement of Bishop Lloyd concerning Liberia is all the more gratifying to the friends of that country. In the present world struggle Liberia has thrown her lot with the allies and her capital city, Monrovia, has already paid the penalty in becoming the object of attack by the enemy's submarines. Her government and people are therefore the more deserving of sympathy and encouragement in the progress they are making in political and moral development.
TUSKEGEE'S CONSTRUCTION SERVICE.
The recent celebration of the celebration of the Second Founder's Day at Tuskegee Institute afforded an exceptional opportunity to review some of Tuskegee's achievements under Dr. Moton's constructive direction. Under Dr. Moton's incumbency, Tuskegee has given some of its best efforts to the nation 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 field of service, a broad conception of the national function of his institution. Mr. Scott's appointment is a most important and far-reaching contribution to the race's progress. His native ability, together with the ripe experience gained as Secretary to 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 generally approved by both white and colored people and his invaluable service in the War Department has clearly demonstrated the wisdom of having a colored advisor in the various 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 appointment of Dr. George E. Haynes, of Fisk University, as director of Negro Economics in the Department of Labor. Dr. Haynes' appointment was the result of a recent 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 delegation of white and colored men which conferred with President Wilson on the needs of Liberia. The press despatches stated that the conference was arranged by Dr. Moton and that he acted as spokesman for the party. A loan of five million ($5,000,000) dollars from the United States Government to aid in the development of the resources of the Negro Republic was asked and at the conclusion of the conference, the President expressed himself as being deeply interested and impressed with Liberia's possibilities.
Two days later, Dr. Moton rep-
REACTIONARY JOURNALISM.
Very few newspapers, North or South, can be for time when the country still has fresh in mind the war and when the Negro is doing his part in the battle and democracy that will justify or even apologize. In fact, most of the Southern papers are condemning unqualified terms. Only a couple of weeks ago The A. an editorial from the Augusta Chronicle which was a demnation as any Northern editor could write.
It is, therefore, somewhat surprising to see a Times-Union of Jacksonville come out in an article upholds lynching. The article opens with a fling at the West; just as though the North and West had not plain about what is going on in the South. These are sentences:
The season has come around again, it seems, for and against the South with lynch law as the text and the North and West shaking their heads in this direction that "lynching must stop." In spite of the ominous looks murmurs the South, however, refuses to be seriously over the occasional extermination of a wild beast in human mouthings of notoriety seekers, usually found to be after roanage and willing to do anything to obtain their desires.
The Times-Union says that the South refuses to worried. Well, it had better begin to worry, and Any Southerner who does not know that the South has and will have to pay still more dearly for every one is living in a fool's paradise. And where does the Tide the idea that the outcry against lynching is the mouthy seekers who are after voters or patronage? The beginning to feel that these atrocities in the South are the nation in its fight for world democracy, and it has out against them. If Germany hears that Negroes are with red-hot irons and burned alive in Tennessee, he will our voice have against her unspeakable cruelties: can we as a nation put our best into the fight against we know that such things are happening within our This is a matter which no longer affects only the South by pointing to one lynching in the North justify ninety committed in her own section.

Indeed, how can we as a nation put our best into the fight against the Hun when we 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 no longer presumed right either by nations or individuals, ever since the emancipation of the Negroes, there have been instances of summary punishment meted out to men of the who had perhaps inherited the savagery of their ancestors all laws. Assaults upon women—white and black—have been for 90 per cent. of the violent deaths of Negro men at the in the South—and the other 10 per cent. includes wardrobe the aged and the helpless, old men and small children murder Negroes, have been avenged by their neighbors.
Such a paragraph as the above would be entire K. Lamity's Harpoon, and would not attract any part but in a reputable daily paper it is inexcusable. It concludes distortion of the truth, but a plain misstatement of is a misstatement of fact that appears to be deliberatorial writers on the Times-Union are intelligent and men. They know or could very easily find out that per cent of the victims of lynch law are even accused groes are lynched in the South for every conceivable latest victim in Georgia was a woman, and she was lye she had made "unwise remarks" about the lynching of who had been accused of murder. It is nothing less for a responsible newspaper to publish such a statement.
"Lynching will stop when the world becomes civil is no longer presumed right either by nations or individ is about as fine an endorsement of the Hun doctrin could be made. Lynching will stop when the Ameri sincere enough and brave enough to see that the people it are punished.
This Times-Union editorial runs on at some length vein, and closes with the following paragraph:
For the benefit of the agitators who are just now work on this proposition, it may be said that the South with population is now, as always, the best place for the Negro it. The honest, ambitious, hard-working, self-respecting N with more consideration and given more privileges in the he gets anywhere else.

That of the Hun doctrine of force as top when the American people are to see that the people who commit runs on at some length in the same paragraph:

Lynching will stop when the world becomes civilized and might is no longer presumed right either 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 denied all laws. Assaults upon women—white and black—have been responsible for 90 per cent of the violent deaths of Negro men at the hands of mobs in the South—and the other 10 per cent. includes towardly 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 particular attention, but in a reputable daily paper it is inexcusable. It contains not only a distortion of the truth, but a plain misstatement of fact. And it is a misstatement of fact that appears to be deliberate, for the editorial 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. Negroes 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 husband, 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 becomes civilized and might is no longer presumed 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 benefit 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 it. The honest, ambitious, hard-working, self-respecting Negro is treated with more consideration and given more privileges in the South than he gets anywhere else. His life 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 been showing recently how much he loves it.

Professor Carver's experiments and recipes for using the sweet potato have been widely published throughout the country in daily, weekly and monthly papers. Dr. Moton announced recently that Tuskegee will erect a large drying plant this summer, which will dry the sweet potato and other vegetables and fruits raised in this section. These are a few of the outstanding accomplishments of Tuskegee Institute during the past year. Dr Washington founded well an institution which is more than merely a school. Tuskegee is an influence; an active factor in the development of a race and in the progress of a nation.
resented the Tuskegee Institute at a Conference on Education which had been called by Hon. P. P. Claxton, 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 measures were discussed at this conference, many of which will be of utmost importance to the colored people of America.
In meeting the food crisis growing out of the war, Tuskegee has helped to teach the country the possibilities of various foodstuffs. Possibly, the most striking illustration of this propaganda is the presentation of the alue of the sweet potato.
of them have packed up and left, and they are still leaving.
There may be some Negroes who love the South because they were born there; and there may be some 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 love. 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 there 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 burned, 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 economic 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 compensations of war. He declared that the war had brought great opportunities to the Negro. He cited as an example that before the war nobody would have believed that the colored people of Jacksonville 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 of 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 point 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 Liberty 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 allowed any such use of the armory, although it is a public building, paid for out of the common tax fund.
This armory is a rather magnificent building and was finished a couple of years ago. It is used both for military affairs and for large public and semi-public gatherings. It is, in fact, Jacksonville's auditorium. The first large public affair given there was a rendition of Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha" by the Ladies' Choral Society; a tenor of some reputation was brought from Atlanta to sing the leading role, and the affair 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 likely 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 colored 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.

The Red Cross is sending out a call for nurses. It says that the American people have done all that has been asked in the matter of giving money, and that what is now needed more than money is nurses. Twenty thousand nurses are wanted, graduate nurses, and they are not in sight. Why can't the Red Cross see its way clear to make use of the colored graduate nurses who have more than once tendered their services? The American colored people have contributed toward the Red Cross funds, the colored women have assisted in its campaigns and in its work; yet the Red Cross sticks to the policy, "No Negro nurses need apply."

Before Judge Crain in General Sessions last week John Esposito, alias "Johnny Lefty," testified as to how willingly he murdered men for the wage of fifteen dollars a week. The prosecution wanted to show that Terranova coveted the gambling business of Di Marco, and so arranged for his murder as the one best means of getting it. Here is Esposito's testimony on that point as reported in the Sun:
"I told them I would do it all right," the witness continued, "Before going to the gambling house we went to an Elizabeth street saloon and had something to eat, mapped out our plans there, and then walked over to James street. Di Marco's doorkeeper took us in. There were between thirty and forty people there. I had never seen Di Marco before, and I shot and killed Lombardi in mistake for him. Letto, the man who had failed on this job the night before, killed Di Marco. The next day Terranova and others congratulated me on the job."
"How much money did you receive for the murder?" Mr. Brothers asked.
"I was getting $15 a week from the boss for whatever jobs he had for me," replied Esposito. "But after the death of Di Marco they cut me down to $10."
Yet, some people talk about the Negro being criminal. I don't believe there is a Negro in the whole United States who could be hired to commit murder. And just suppose that Esposito was a Negro; you can imagine how his crime would have been exploited in the press of the entire country. Still his crime is a more or less common one in New York.

JAREZ LZZ
Last Friday you announced a "drive for nurses for the Red Cross." There are now in the United States between 500 and 600 registered colored nurses who are waiting and eager to enlist in such. They are not wanted.
Two years ago a well-known physician of Bellevue Hospital went to Washington to interview Miss Delano president of the Red Cross. He knew the excellence of these colored nurses and asked recognition for them.
The result of this interview was the establishment of the Lincoln Base Hospital Unit. Nothing came of it and two months later this unit was dissolved and no reason given. In August, 1917, a letter was sent by Miss Delano to the Colored Nurses' Association, asking them to "enroll for service at the proposed base at Des Moines, Ia., and I recommend an efficient chief nurse." The nurses enrolled and did suggest chief nurse, but no hospital was established at Des Moines.
Last September another letter from Miss Delano to the same association asked for "names of twenty of the best nurses and that applications be forwarded by them". This was done in October, but no word up to date has been received by any of the nurses. In January one of these nurses, who had a record of 99 per cent in the State examinations, wrote to the Surgeon General's office and received the reply "that there were no openings in the army for a corps of colored nurses. On May 10 a prominent nurse was a telegram to Miss Delano having sent her appeal for trained nurses and one to the Surgeon General's office, asking "what was the outlook for the admission of the colored nurses in the Red Cross". The reply was that they were perfectly willing at all times to enroll colored nurses, but accommodations had been made by the Surgeon General.
The Surgeon General told me was no accommodations but he made colored nurses, but he kept them in touch with the left cross, so it goes on, one shifting the responsibility upon the other.
Why, I ask, are 600 registered nat-
kent from national service because
skin is not white?

EMPIRE STATE FEDERA-
TION TO MEET IN JULY
M. C. M. Lawton, president of the
Empire State Federation of Women's
Cubs, has issued the following call to
the members of the organization to
tally for their tenth annual meeting to
be held at St. Mark's M. E. Church
July 4 and 5:
"Dear Co-Workers: While the war
has thrust upon our women all over
the country added responsibilities,
made doubly so by the entrance into
the country's service of the very flower
of the race, our young manhood, thus
serving home ties, etc., we would not
be unmindful of the activities which
the smoke has cleared from the battlefield.
The saffold around our racial struc-
ture must be kept intact until the walls
are secure.
“I recommend most heartily all of the work in which our women are engaged for our soldier boys; would that we could do more, but there must be a home-coming of our gallant heroes. Why is to keep alive the burning coals on the heartstone while they are gone? Who is to cheer them on their return? Who is to look after the future of the race that there may be no break in our lives while our boys are fighting—yes, dying for the defense of their country's honor. Is it not the woman who has placed hersen as a rung on life's racial ladder that the youth may climb in safety to success?
“The Empire State Federation of Women’s Clubs will hold its tenth annual meeting at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 231 West 53rd street, New York City, July 4 and 5, to be the guests of the Silver Spray Circle. If there ever was a time when it is necessary to present a solid front it is now. Let every club rally as never before. Those clubs which have not contributed to the Frederick Douglas Home Fund may have an opportunity to do so at that time.”
M C LAWTON. President."

And now rice is too precious to waste in throwing it after the departing bride and bridegroom according to tradition. Every grain of it is needed for human food. Rice will go far toward making up for the lack of wheat in the diet. It has been used in the use of the interior besides that of a vegetable rice flour being used largely as a wheat substitute in baking. Other ways of using rice are in soups, cooked with meat as a casserole dish, and in desserts.

TITAGE Spring Lake
(BY LESTER A, WALTON)
Is it the set policy of the Y. 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.

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. When ordering send register to the money order. Liberal inducements offered to agents. Write to-day for special terms. Enclose 2 cent stamp for reply Agents, wanted everywhere. 107 Brunswick Ave.

(Continued from page two) formation as to what the Red Cross has already done in the war, some or at the cantonments of this country for the Negro soldiers.
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.
Very cordially yours,

UNION BAPTIST CHURCH
The past week at Union Baptist Church was a very busy one. On Monday evening Dr. W. H. Moses, pastor of the Zion Baptist Church, Philadelphia, preached from the text, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." On Tuesday evening he used for a subject, "Wars and Rumors of Wars," On Wednesday evening he lectured from the subject "Thostus." Dr. Moses is among the great preachers and lecturers of our race. Dr. I. J. Jordan, the corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Convention, was also on Monday evening. On Thursday evening we had an unusual service. Mrs. Elizabeth Howard spoke in the main auditorium to a packed house of women, and at the same time Dr. W. W. Brown preached a sermon to men in the lower part of the church. This was indeed a great evening for us.
On Friday evening there was a Union service between Mt. Olivet and our church. This was the first service of its kind we ever held together, but will not be the last. The lecture room of the church was very well filled. After the praise service Dr. W. P. Hayes introduced Dr. Slims, who delivered a sermon from the theme "Prayer for the Universal Kingdom of Christ." The sermon was well received, and the enthusiasm was high. Sunday at 1 a.m. the Rev. E. C. Shallis recently redefined, prepared a splendid sermon on "Talking Too Much." Sunday School convened at 2 p.m. with Superintendent in charge. At 3.30 p.m. m. praise service preceding the communion was very forwent, after which Dr. W. W. Brown, who comes to us every Sunday, delivered a sermon of his life on "The Reward for Faithful Service." The D. Y. P. U. was somewhat hampered by the communion service, but was well attended.
At 8 p. m., Dr. Madison C. P. Paterson
(white), a well-known champion of human
rights, prescribed one of the famous
sermons on "National, Patersonian,"
In 1915, he was elected to the U.S.

UNION BETHEL CHURCH
Sunday was an eventful day at Union Bethel Church, Brooklyn. A large number greeted Pastor Wilson on the second service of his second year. The Rev. Wilson prescheduled an inspiring sermon at the morning service upon "Wrestling," taking for his text Gen. xxii24. In the afternoon he addressed the Juvenile Tabernacles of the Orchard. Moses on the Good Youth." The senior sermon the Rev. I. S. A. Cooper of Georgia preached on "The Necessities of the Hour." One person united with the church.

Cosy will deliver an address on "The Negro-Relation to That Flag."
CONCORD BAPTIST CHURCH
Sunday was a day of supreme spiritual and intellectual benefit to the members and visitors who attended the services of the Concord Baptist Church in Brooklyn. Fully one thousand persons were present at the morning service and they listened with the closest attention to the eloquent discourse delivered by Dr. Shepard. Dr. Shepard was a National Training School, Durham, N. C, whose theme was "The Bible a Source of Strength and Encouragement to the Believer."
The sermon was the most scholarly and instructive heard at Concord during Dr. Moss' absence of more than two months. Dr. Shepard made a deep impression for good upon all who heard him. The choir, under the direction of Mrs. Daisy Tapley, rendered their choice music.
Another large audience gretted Dr. Shepard the evening service, when his subject was "Christian Education, the Hope of the Race." The speaker brought to bear many historical and scientific illustrations to prove the benefits derived from a Christian education.
