GENERAL PERSHING COMMENDS COLORED TROOPS AND GIVES OUT FIGURES AS TO THEIR LOSS "WORLD" DISCONTINUES USE OF "DARKIES" The New York World, which has the largest circulation of any morning paper in New Work, has promised to discontinue the use of the term "darkies." In a letter to Lester A. Walton, managing editor of The Act, who informed the editors of the daily that colored Americans did not take kindly to the terms in print, C. M. Lincoln, managing editor of the World replied in part: "You are quite right in your suggestion that the word 'darkies' was wrong. I am sorry it appeared and I have given order that the word shall not be used again." ELMIRA BOY IS A (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) Elmira, N. Y.—Thomas John Ried, son of Mr. and Mrs. James B.

ENTERTAIN WOUNDED SOLDIERS FROM FRANCE WAITERS GET A RAISE (Special to The New York Ack.) Kervil, N. J.—The colored waiters employed by the Hercules Powder Company demanded an increase in salary on Wednesday, June 19.

They have been spreading are these specially the treatment of these men has made an unusually careful regiments should receive exactly what receive and the military authority by the false rumors that have it that colored troops were given they were neglected when women it they are hardly worth mentioning. In order, however, to be sure certain on this score and to call General Pershing's attention to the interest in the War Department has in the treatment of colored troops, the military of War cabled to France made an exact statement as to the treatment of colored troops there. General Pershing has sent back a very emphatic statement on this whole subject which not only relieves colored people respect to all anxiety about their fate the firing line, but should also give a new pride in their race as a result the splendid record that colored men are making for themselves and country wherever they are sent. General Pershing says more clearly "I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick ing and eagerness for the most humorous work." The cabalgram which Ground 1 has been to in Ireland: "main agents that colored soldiers France are placed in most defensive positions and sacrificed to save which soldiers; that when wounded they are left on the ground to die without medical attention, and similar stories are absolutely false. "The following are the foat as reported up to June 8, in the four colored combatant regiments now in France: 369th Infantry, died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 8; severely wounded 2." 371st Infantry, died of wounds, now died of disease, 3; severely wounded none. 372nd Infantry, died of wounds, now died of disease, 3; severely wounded none. "These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangeroids as those occupied by white troops and that their physical condition is excellent. "A tour of inspection just completed among American Negro troops by officers from these headquarters shows a high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Their training is identified with that of other Americans serving with the French army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually in heavy combat duty by preliminary service in trenches in white sectors. Color troops in the trenches have been particularly fortunate as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This is almost unheard of heretofore on the Western Front. "The exploits of the two colored Infantry regiments some weeks ago invl spelling a much larger German patrol killing and wounding several Germans and winning the Croix de Guerre by their gallantry, has aroused a fine spirit and emulation throughout the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. The only reason expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused at the story that they are in the most dangerous position, and are desirous of having more active service than they have thus far. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combatant troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." These are General Pershing's own words and they set at rest forever the absurd stories which have been circulated by Germans in order to deceive the colored people of this country. Colored people everywhere may rest secure that the War Department is on the guard and will not permit any treatment of soldiers in France, regardless of color erected, that is not worthy of the standards of American Democracy.

Va.—The Executive State Council of Defense has placed a ban on the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation," and all similar plays in this State during the period of the war. The action of the State Council came as a sequel to the passage of a resolution by the McDowell County Auxiliary Council of Defense, protesting against the showing of "The Birth of a Nation." The McDowell County Council, composed of colored citizens, set forth that the attraction is one "calculated to arouse hatred and prejudice between the white and Negro races of the State, and likely to hinder and retard the proper co-operation between the races in promoting the greatest efficiency in war work of all kinds." The order of the Council is broad in its inhibition of plays or motion pictures written or staged in the spirit of "The Birth of a Nation," and is specific in making it unlawful and subject to penalties to show such a play or picture at any time prior to the termination of the present war. The order recites that the Negroes of West Virginia have been loyal and patriotic and have cheerfully responded to all demands for activities in the work of national defense; that the Auxiliary Advisory Council and the State Council of Defense have been working together in complete harmony, and that "through and by the exhibition of 'The Birth of a Nation' in this State results are likely to be-produced which will materially prevent the two races from working together in harmony and from bringing about the best results in the several lines of war work. The ban became effective immediately on the passage of the order, and will protect the smaller towns in the mining sections where the picture is booked for exhibition, having made a tour of the larger cities. Managers of the houses affected and owners of the picture are flooding the state house with letters and telegrams of protest, without avail.

All men of draft age, regardless of their classification, must engage in employment held to be produced or join the army. This order goes into effect July 1 and instructions have been issued to the draft officers explaining and amplifying their duties. their order, will have a special assistance for workers of the Negro race, as many of the lines of employment classed as unproductive are those in large measure over to members of the race among these occupations that come under the ban of the regulations are persons engaged in the service to food and drink in public places, including clubs and hotels; elevator operators and attendants in clubs, hotels, stores, apartment houses, office buildings, including bellmen and porters, unless such porters are engaged in heavy work. Domestic service is also classed among the prohibited occupation for men of their age, but this does not include chauffeurs unless they combine with their work as chauffeur some occupation defined as unproductive. Men within the draft age follow any of these occupations will be recruited by their local boards or obtain new employment through the national employment service. The board also has power to postpone work while effort is being made to ensure the men in occupations held productive. Illness, vacation and the impossibility of getting productive employment without change of residence will be held as reasonable grounds for waiving the general interest. Common sense is enjoined from the boards in considering issues where deferred classification may be withdrawn. While this order may work some hardships in individual cases, it is in the interest of the greater effectiveness of the nation's industries, and those immediately affected should comply with its requirements promptly and cheerfully, with the careful arrangements made to secure suitable employment through Federal agencies, the transfer of occupations should be adjusted without serious inconvenience or material damage to the workers. In fact, instead of being limited to certain prescribed occupations, the opportunities for industrial development may be multiplied through the operation of this order. The month of June is the annual season for gunning after the legislators in the State of New York, and the present members of the Legislature appeared to be fair game for any marksman. The Citizens Union of New York City seems to possess a permanent license for this kind of sport, and has acquired an expert skill in hitting the mark. It can bring down the highest soaring friend of the people on the wing, with a bullet that riddles all his pretensions to public service and support. This year the State Senate was the particular game aimed at in the censure dealt out to the city representatives through the critical report of the Union's committee on legislation. Disorder and lack of dignity are charged against this branch of the Legislature and the general conclusion is that "new blood is sadly needed in both houses." Individual members are dealt with in such caustic phrases as: "Indifferent to his duties;" "disappointing in his votes;" "record, indicating indecision and lack of well grounded principles;" "loses too many opportunities;" "distorted conception of his duties." Of course there are some members who are passed by this self-appointed board of censure with creditable records. The Assembly fares better than the upper house in the general verdict and the Socialist group of members are credited with earnestness and attention to duty. Assemblyman Johnson of Harlem, the only member of the race in the Legislature, is credited with the passage of legislation affecting his constituency, but he failed to satisfy the Union by his general attitude toward city legislation. However, he is not given up as a hopeless case, as the admission is made that with experience he may improve in this regard. It should be a matter of general satisfaction that Assemblyman Johnson should have been so successful in carrying to a favorable issue the measures directly concerning his constituency, as well as the race at large. As the critic of the Union suggests, with the experience he has gained in his first term he will undoubtedly be qualified to exercise a wider influence and play a larger part in general legislation in the future. LIFE IN PANAMA. A recent number of the Panama Star and Herald sheds some light on the manners and morals prevalent in the Canal Zone and vicinity. Under the heading of "Sport on the Atlantic Side," a letter from Colon extols the fine shape of many of the colored battlers in exhibition bouts and predicts a number of good bouts among them. Among the pugilists enumerated are Kid Bain, Jack Dowdy, the West Indian Kid, Steamboat Bill Walker and Young McCea. Baseball is also popular on the Isthmus and the colored, players are conspicuous in that sport as well. The merchants of Panama have their troubles with the Food Commissioner, and the Chamber of Commerce at a special meeting debated the rate of profit laid down by the administrator as insufficient. Steps were taken to secure a discussion of the decree with officials of the government with a view of preparing new regulations. The burial of a Zone policeman, described as "brown Jamaican," who was killed in a train wreck, brought forth the testimonial that he was a sober and intelligent officer and that his "workmanship" and conduct were excellent. The cortege was wholly composed of officers of the police and fire division including the chief, one lieutenant, seven white and sixteen colored policemen. That color is sometimes a bair to employment, even in Panam, was shown by the following advertisement: "Wanted—Men conversant with English and Spanish, with newspaper experience, for col The above heading is the heading of an editorial in the Plainfield (N. J.) Courier-News of the 11th of this month. The Courier-News editorial was called forth by a letter written by some colored person to the editor asking reasons why the Negro should fight to protect the country. Two Age readers in Plainfield sent us the article and asked us to reply to it. The letter which was sent to the editor of the Courier-News reads as follows: Plainfield Courier: Dear Sir: I am a buyer of your paper and I note in your column there are questions asked and answered. This is a question I should like you answer me. Why work a Negro man should go to protect a country and public places when in it he can not even go in and drink a glass of ice cream soda nor even his female sex? E. R. In the first place, this a very lightweight letter. The person writing it picked out the weakest argument that could possibly be found. Of course, the denial of the privilege of drinking ice cream soda in certain places on account of race or color is a phase of the denial of full citizenship and common democracy; but it is trivial to single it out as a reason why the Negro should not do his part in this great war. If the duty of the Negro to fight was really a question in the mind of the writer of the letter, it seems that he should have backed up his inquiry with such arguments as the lynching and burning alive of Negroes, without any effort on the part of authorities to punish the perpetrators of these crimes; the disfranchisement and "Jim Crowing" of the race, even of those who are bearing arms and wearing the uniform; the shutting out of Negroes from many of the fields of occupation; the criminally unfair division of the public school funds in many states; the absence of even handed justice in the courts of many of the states, and other arguments that would carry weight. In the second place, the letter contained a needless request for information. Any Negro outside of an insane asylum can by ten minutes of thought on the matter arrive at reasons why the race must do its full part in this war, which will outweigh any doubts there may have been in his mind. America is the American Negro's country. He has been here three hundred years; that is, about two hundred years longer than most of the white people. He is a citizen of this country, declared so by the Constitution. Many of the rights and privileges of citizenship are still denied him, but the plain course before him is to continue to perform all of the duties of citizenship while he continually presses his demands for all of the rights and privileges. Both efforts must go together; to perform the duties and not demand the rights would be pusillanimous; and to demand the rights and not perform the duties would be futile. It is a fact that the Negro is denied his full rights as a citizen, and that a good many people in the country are determined that he shall never have them; then the task before the Negro is to force the accordance of those rights, and that he cannot do by refusing to perform the duties. In fact, the moment he ceases to perform the duties of citizenship he abdicates the right to claim the full rights of citizenship. As regards the present war, the central idea behind Germany is force; if that idea wins, it will be worse for the American Negro and all the other groups belonging to submerged and oppressed peoples; so the American Negro should do all in his power to help defeat it. Then, too, a German victory would mean the almost absolute destruction of France. France, the fountain of liberal ideas, the nation which more than any other in the world has freed itself from all kinds of prejudices, the nation which endeavors to practice as well as preach the brotherhood of man. The destruction of France would be the greatest blow to liberty that could now be dealt. These are a few of the plain, logical reasons, based largely upon self interest; besides there are other and more altruistic reasons; we leave the purely sentimental reasons out of consideration. So much for the letter written to the Courier-News; now for the editorial written in answer to the letter. Here is the first sentence from it: A Negro should fight for this country because this nation freed him from the bonds of slavery. Now if the editor of the Courier-News put up such an argument as that to a jackass he would get his brains kicked out. What was the slavery "from which this nation freed us?" It was the slavery into which this nation put us and held us for two hundred and fifty years. Can a man throw you into prison without cause in order to ply in writing to Editor Star and Herald." As this paper prints its news in both English and Spanish, this requirement must be attributed to the American influence introduced into Isthmian affairs. There is special mention made of the Silver Employees' Association noting an addition of 200 to membership in the district during one month. This classing of silver and gold employees is the method adopted to distinguish the colored from the white, the pay of the former being made in silver, while gold is reserved for the white Americans. An official notice of meeting shows that the Triple Link Club represents the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which would be composed of whites. On the other hand the meeting of the District Grand Lodge of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaria shows that fraternal orders of the race are also evidence. in the Isthmian republic and an exploring party is said to be raking the territory with a fine tooth comb to find them. All in all, Panama seems to be entitled to the conspicuous place it occupies on the map. America has enlisted to win the war. One of the means to this end is through the medium of Thrift and War Savings Stamps. All of our men, women and children should do their utmost to invest their savings in this way. This week is War Savings week and every one should take part in the campaign. In the list of popular war diversions the camouflage concert has been added to the Hooverized luncheon. At the luncheon we suppose the "skim milk masquerades as cream," as the song goes, but can the syncopation assume the air of the symphony? Some will say The editor of the Courier News goes on to say The Negro who tries to put himself on the level with white men socially is an enemy of the Negro race. The greatest men of that race have condemned those who are always finding fault because they cannot obtain service in hotels, restaurants and ice cream parlors patronized by the whites. It is the duty of these dissatisfied Negroes to open restaurants and ice cream parlors of their own and endeavor to conduct them better than any white man conducts his place of business. We do not know from what part of the country the editor of the Courier-News hails, but his definition of "social equality" sounds very much as though it was made in Alabama or Mississippi. There is no more social equality in drinking ice cream soda in a public place than there is in riding in the same subway car. And where does this editor get his information that the greatest men of the race have condemned those who found fault because hotel and other public accommodations were refused to colored people? His suggestion that Negroes should have their own hotels, theatres and other public places is impracticable. It would be impossible for the Negro or any other group in this country to duplicate the machinery of civilization. If a colored man is passing through Denver or Salt Lake City, is he to go without food and lodging because there are not enough Negroes in either of those cities to maintain a hotel or a restaurant? But even if the Negro could duplicate all of the machinery of civilization in the country and live his life separate and apart, would it be wise to have him do it? We are now trying to cut the hyphen out of our body politic, would it be wise to deliberately create another? It is curious to note the amount of ego that goes with the attitude of the editor of the Courier-News on this question. 'He sits writing his little article shaming Negroes for wanting to associate with white people, not imagining for a moment that there are colored people who not only would not seek him for a social equal, but who probably might refuse to accept him as one.' If he should be stopping at the Van-Astor hotel, and a colored man came in to register, the first thought to crop up in his mind would be, "Here is a Negro who wants to get into a hotel where I, a white man, and other white men are stopping," not knowing that what the Negro wants is something to eat and a place to sleep and that he is willing to pay for the best he can afford. This ego is characteristic of all white people who talk like the editor of the Courier-News. They feel, when a Negro protests against discrimination and "Jim Crowism" that he is trying to get away from his race and associate with white people. When a self-respecting Negro so protests, the thought of merely associating with white people is the farthest from his mind; he is contending for a common democratic right which all other citizens of the country have, that of being accommodated in public places when he is clean, orderly and is able and willing to pay the price; or he is protesting against being forced to accept inferior service for the price of the best service, and he is especially resenting the badge of inferiority which being "Jim Crowed" places upon him. This article of the Courier-News runs on for the length of a column, nearly all of it being a diatribe against Negroes who are seeking "social equality," meaning those who object to being "Jim Crowed" and shut out of theatres and hotels and restaurants and other public places where orderly conduct and the price are the only requisites exacted from other citizens. So it is not worth the while to quote any more of it. We wish to say that there are many sound and solid reasons why the Negro should fight for his country, aside from the reasons that are altruistic and sentimental; but the editor of the Courier-News in using up a column of his more or less valuable space in answering the letter of E. R. failed to strike upon a single one. The letter written to the Courier-News was lightweight, but the editor's article in answer to it did not weigh as much as the letter. His article is entirely apart from the mark. JUSTICE IN GEORGIA.

Crum this morning imposed a term of four years upon J. E. Bridges, a young grocer, for the statutory offense of which he was found guilty by a jury rendering a verdict last Sunday at noon. Judge Crum referred to the family from which Bridges came, remembered Bridges' good mother, but said his offense occurred at a time when it became one against the community more than against the individual. He referred to this as the only case of the kind he ever knew where there was an eye-witness other than the principals, and called attention to the fact that the act bordered on exactly what caused a recent lynching, the facts as to race and color being reversed. Attorneys Jones and Bunsey have filed a motion for a new trial and Judge Crum has assessed a bond of $4,000. Note the delicacy of the wording of this despatch; nowhere is it said in so many words that the white young man, Bridges, committed rape on a colored girl, yet that is the fact. Note the judge's reference to an eye-witness, also the expressions of regret and the reference to the criminal's family. Now consider the sentence of four years, together with the motion for a new trial and the bond being fixed at only four thousand dollars. Then see if you can express your opinion of Georgia justice in calm and Christian language. MR. JOHNSON'S "VIEWS AND REVIEWS." To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: After reading Mr. James W.

The names in our draft lists, the names in our casualty lists, establish that fact beyond peradventure. When the cry goes forth, "The Yanks Are Coming," it means not only native Americans, but also men of foreign birth—Jews, Greeks, Hungarians, Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, Lithuanians and representatives of half a dozen other sections of our complex citizenship. Only the other day word came that a success had been wob on the western front with the aid of American Negroes, and that hit of news opens up a roar which is well worth thinking about. In the draft ordered by act of Congress on May 18, 1917, there were 951,000 colored registrants, and of that number about 83,000 were certified for service. Last January, in addition to the recruits in selected, we had 10,000 colored men in the regular army, 7,000 in the national guard, 1,250 candidates for commissions in the reserve officer training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and 15,016 enlisted men in the United States navy. At the beginning of this year more than 100,000 drafted Negroes had been assigned to 15 cantonments and 678 colored men commissioned, 160 are captains, 320 as first lieutenants, 198 are second lieutenants. Turn next to another element of the national life. Our Indian community were among the earliest to throw in their efforts toward the winning of the war. Tribes in every section of the country made contributions either of money or of work. Commissioner Cox Sells reports that more than $7,500,000 of the first and second Liberty, loan was subscribed for by Indians. In one district of Oklahoma all the Indians of the district belong to the Red Cross and are campaigning to gather all the whites of the locality into its membership. Thus far several thousand Indians have entered the army and navy, 85 per cent of them volunteers, and though many others who were registered proved to be non-commun and were therefore not subject to draft, they waived their exemption rights and joined the war forces of Uncle Sam. White and black and red are now going "over the top" in a splendid man of patriotism and loyalty which indicates its own lesson. There is also a degree of generosity mingled with the devotious; for the red man looks back to "wrongs unredressed," and the black man cannot yet be said to have entered fully into the heritage of the "square deal" which this nation is pledged to give to all its citizens. Yet the men of both races have flung aside their gravures to share whole-heartedly in a struggle which is to remake the world for all races. If this be a pledge, as it certainly is, that we may count on the unfaltering alliance of black man and red man for all time to count on its entireure to both a rightful place in the wider democracy and ampler justice which are to be ushered in after the war.

DOUGLASS] I have noted that Negro music has been the unseen power in the Southland and the language through which our race has been able to create, sustain and convert, to a large extent, the white people of this section. I refer particularly to the folk song or spirituals and institution melodies with their religious fervor. Harry Burleigh has accomplished great work in the treatment of those spirituals and I am proud to note their public use by the leading colored and white artists of the country. My engagements in recitals for our colleges, the majority of which are in the Southland, are always inspiration to me when I note the eager and earnest purpose on the faces of students to make the best of their opportunity for a school and college education. It has enabled them to assimilate and appreciate the highest standard in music as in all other accomplishments akin to refinement, culture and character. And here, permit me to drop a few hints which I trust will be of service and strength to the rising talent of our race as well as others who are known to the public. We all know that the musician's calling is to send light and inspiration into the deep recesses of the human heart and mind, and there to explain and satisfy, intelligently, a feeling that you hear. It is, therefore, imperative that the concert performers of the race should not be content to rely solely on their natural gifts and only think seriously of the glory and commercial value of their tours instead of making a sacrifice for study and modesty, to the extent of giving an intelligent interpretation and being careful not to go beyond their conception of any work in a public exhibition. I reserve that consideration for the student and public and always am not to inflict anything on my bearers that I am unable to diagnose in title or interpretation for the sake of its print upon a program. of its print upon a program. I have noted in my travels that we are not unlike any other members of the human race in that there may be found its classes ofimitators, self appointed critics, selfoverrating in reckless advertising and authorities on everything, in order to satisfy a hunger for public notice. There a distinction should be drawn by the unsuspecting public of our race, to protect our real unselfish benefactors who have sacrificed and devoted their lives to their especially fitted calling, for the general good. Music of all races is doing its part in broadening and increasing a higher civilization, especially in America, where it is mostly needed, and I hope for the day when, on an equal footing, music will be recognized and credited as a major subject in the schools and colleges throughout the country. "A BUTTERFLY ON THE WHEEL" AT LAFAYETTE "A Butterfly on the Wheel" is the story of a wife who, believing her husband to be more interested in his own affairs than in his attentions to her gradually falls into the way of committing a folly. The wife is Peggy Admaston, who is in New York, having previously been produced with equal success in London. With this record to its credit "A Butterfly on the Wheel" will be shown at the Lafayette Theatre next. Peggy Admaston, who is known as "butterfly" is the wife of an ambitious, honorable, statesman who is occupied with his duties in Parlia-He sees but little of his wife who he trusts and grants the fullest liberty. This she abuses by carrying on more or less furious flirtation with Collinwood, who openly Switzerland with a party which includes Collingwood. Collingwood contriutes to get separated from the others and buildupne places Peggy on a train going to Paris. But the husband, back in London, has been apprised of the trip and is building up at Paris where Peggy is staying. Collingwood has adjoining apartments and at the sound of the phone he enters Peggy's rooms and takes wp the receiver. Next morning the husband arrives from London. He spurs his wife. The audience which has witnessed wife really occurred in the apartment and has seen Peggy repulse Collingwood, knows that she is legally innocent. Adversity is imbaliated by her voice and three months later the scene shifts to the court room where the trial is progress with Peggy on the stand. The witness is made speedily to involve herself in a network of suspicions and misapprehensions. The climax of her dispair is reached when her whole theory of innocence by curious coincidence is irrilabliated by a letter of the anonymous letter (which acquainted the husband with the fact that his wife was to be in Paris a certain night with Collingwood) evidently knew that the plans had been laid before the party left London and most certainly, therefore, Peggy must have been "in" on the secret. The frail little "Butterfly" unable longer to bear the torture of the pious manner of the prosecuting counsel, finally collapses. This ends the trial. The fourth and final act has to do with discovery of the writer of the mysterious letter and the reconciliation of Peggy and her husband. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

DONALDSON TO PITCH FOR ROYAL GIANTS John Donaldson, one of the greatest pitchers in the country, who has been pitching 'such an international baseball through this middle west the past several seasons, signed up with John Lloyd manager of the Brooklyn Royal Giants and is now on his way East to join the crack Brooklyn aggregation who were forced to secure another good man to take the place of Cannon Ball Dick Roeding who was drafted into the National Army several weeks ago and is at present overseas. Donaldson is the highest salaried colored baseball player who over wore his best uniform and his argument has been dickering for several weeks with this star player whom Manager C. I. Talar olmias did not give his best efforts and played for his release. Donaldson never played ball in the East and will no doubt be received with open arms by the local baseball great loss of Dick Roeding a very popular favorite with the Eastern fans. Donaldson will make his initial appearance next Sunday when the Royal Giants tackle the Lincoln Giants in a double header at Olympic Field.

The NAT STRONG GIVES HIS SIDE OF CONTROVERSY Following is Nat. C. Strong's answer to the charge made by Manager Williams, who recently stated in these columns that Mr. Strong was discriminating against the Red Caps in the matter of playing dates: Late fall a half dozen players who were on my club, and several of whom would have been out of work and not playing with any club were it not for the fact that I kept the Royal Glants in business, and the season closed on October 16, 1917, for letters or recommendations to the New York Central as they could secure positions at the station but must have written to the present season I wrote out the same for them while at the time they all spoke of the big team the Royals would have next year (meaning the present season) and liked the game better than the de of March when suddenly, after various rumors, I was told that they had decided to play with the Grand Royal, and that I would have late for me to get players to fill in and thought I would not have a team. All Winter Williams has been quoted at various places saying that there would be "no Royal Giants next season" and that they would have to play for him and that they took the positions at the depot on that bauls and while I paid no attention to these various sayings of his, was he not the one who had held a meeting and decided to stick, while at the same time I had a visit from Williams and Earle and they kindly offered me the booking of the team, which I refused to handle and I would not understand. In "if I wanted, which terms I did not understand. Williams stated that he could get all the games he desired without me and I told him to go ahead and broadcast to all of the clubs that the Royals usually played and receiving no replies to them he again wrote me a letter saying that I was the "only one" who could get games and asked me to "no" in so many words. It appears that he stated on several occasions that I would not pay Lloyd or other players and could not get him in, though through the influence many players were asked "not to come on" to play with the Royal Giants as they did not want us to have a club as if we did they could not get him in. I was surprised by the curring good dates which Earle knew and the Royals secure many games on my own personal acquaintance with various teams and managers all over the country. If the players decided to work and give up the playing of professional baseball so as to act as reporters at the club, I was surprised at the chance of mine and as I stated they should keep to their jobs and not allow baseball to interfive with their work if such was the case; but it appears that they would chance to get into baseball and make some big money and used his position at the Grand Central and put players of my club in positions and expected to play in baseball whenever he could acquire a team. The Royal Giants naturally want the best to be had and are willing to pay for it and have the highest salary list anywhere. We cannot use all the players in this country but only want sufficient for our team and you can imagine when all a man has to offer to a player is an opportunity to carry his ats at home. The people who oppose him do what an opposition he is to any of our salaried colored teams who hire ball players and give them a salary to do so and pay them regularly with cash. He then knows people who have invested amusements for many years as you know, have probably more personal friends among your own people than Williams has and no one before has ever pointed a finger at him. In this case, as I have not stood in the way of getting games for Williams, but will not go and get myself for him what he cannot get himself, and help him put the Lincoln's and the Blake's on blame me. As the part of your article "advertising" may say that we do get it free and send out our press notices regularly to all papers and in most cases they are used. We are not allowed to insert paid advertising for the book but I will say here that when The Age was down in Cedar street many, many years ago I was the first white or colored man to insert an amusement paid advertisement and on any occasion where I could legally advertise have always done more along those lines than any of the others. in fact, I started the basket game, and we large, they showed where and along those lines and you personally know it. I am not afraid of my reputation being assailed by such a man as Willimin at any time as I know where I stand among the colored folk of the world, and associated with him who tried to kill colored professional baseball, which I have kept alive in the East and only myself for many years, feel my reputation is and has always been good for me. Walton, and ask you to tell what you know detrimental to my character or myself or any of your and are willing to pay for it when you give them the best possible and that is what I am doing and have tgged do all my life, so that my description whatever hut simply friends. The colored people support baseball Williams cannot secure dates and ex- ports me to go out and get them or him, although the Pony team required by color men appear to play regularly but get fair money for their work, where they do play.

Many men and women from Dayton, Columbus, Springfield, Cleveland gathered at an early hour to hear the graduating address delivered by the Hon W. H. Lewis of Bostwick. Promptly at 9:30 o'clock in the morning Bishop G. T.

Charles Stewart of Baltimore at the piano played the processional. The program opened with music by the University Glee Club singing "Now Trump Ore Moss and Fell." The invitation was offered by Chaplain Osier J. W. Scott of the Tenth Cavalry. Mr. Lewis opened his remarks by saying that a little more than a year before the outbreak of the war he was fortunate enough to make a brief visit to England and France. "I did not mike the usual traveler," said he. "I fed with delight and pleasure at the place, and the people whom I found. If today I have a better understanding, a deeper sympathy for those people, struggling for the preservation of their lives, their property, institutions, it is because of that experience." The speaker gave a vivid description of his visit through Westminster Abbey and how he stood before the slab that enclosed the ashes of William Wilberforce, the statesman, philanthropist and reformer that first of the world's reformistionists, who gave his name to the university. He then referred to Bishop Payne, the founder of the school, whose sainthy and scholarly character was 'ever a benediction to all who came within the circle of his influence.' To President Scarborough, said the speaker, 'I owe my earliest ambition for culture and learning; to him I am indebted for an introduction to the language and literature of that ancient Athens.' Mr Lewis stirred the war between the Allies and Germany and at times the enthusiasm reached the place when he was compelled to stop before proceeding with the war, or to unhappy or unhappy said he the 'president crisis' in our conflict, the vital interest of our country in the issue, forces itself inevitably upon our attention.

CATHOLIC CHURCH, PAYS WOMAN HIGHEST HONORS Denver, Colo.—The highest honor that has ever been paid to a Colorado Catholic layman immediately following death was recently given to a colored woman, Julia Greeley, who died in poverty in the Sacred Heart Parish, but who is declared by the Jesuit Fathers of that church to have been the most zealous lay apostle of the Sacred Heart they have ever known. She died on the feast of the Sacred Heart. Her end came unexpectedly, but she received the full rites of the church. The body lay in state in Loyola Chapel from 3 to 8 o'clock on Sunday where it was viewed by a constant stream of people. She was between 76 and 80 years of age and was born in slavery. She had been a daily communicant practically from her conversion. Her body lay in state, limousine and giant touring cars came carrying the rich to see her. The poor flocked to the chapel in throngs. When Father McDonnell recited the Rosary for her soul at 7:30, the chapel was well filled. The Sacred Heart Church was crowded Monday morning at her funeral. The prosperous and the poor, the educated and the uneducated, the prominent and the unknown were there—proud to pay homage to the aged colored woman. A SOLDIER'S LETTER ON MOTHERS' DAY (Special to Tins New York Anc.) Beautifully written by one of our boys letter written by one of our boys in France on Mothers' Day and received by his mother here: My Dear and Living Mother: It seems as though some divine power decreed that I should receive a long, interesting, and most affectionate letter from you the very day that every man in France is supposed to write a letter to his mother, and that is "Mother's Day." Heretofore when I was around Lincoln, I always managed, in some way, to obtain a while carnation, but owing to conditions, I guess I will be unable to obtain that particular letter of flower, but never it warbles the flower, whether it comes from a hedge cow, or some highly cultivated cow, whether it be withered and drooping and cast aside by some former wearer whom it may have adorned, it will bedeck my broad breast to let the world know that a loving mother in the paradise across the sea, or better known as the U. S. A. has a son, an only son, whom she gave up to aid in his minuteway that the despotic aims of the Kaiser may become merely an air castle, and democracy may be much more sensitive to the needs of the child. I am unable to remember with what 'Mother's Day' beguil, and owing to circumstances, I am unable to find out. But whoever was the instigator of such a day deserves a seat among the people of fame and note. For who can tell the hardships of a mother? From the cradle to the grave, she is filled with anxiety, sorrow, or joy, but most of the greater part of her life, is filled by the utterport with anxiety. For upon her life she makes the making of the home and family, and heals her, she realize it, but upon her also falls the future life; the determining of their character and their conduct in general. Have I disappointed you in your expectations of me? My God, I pray not, for if this cruel war had not begun, I intended to make a man of myself regardless of obstacles. I was not going to do this for my own good, but because, of the great sacrifices you and papa made for me. But don't despair, and you'll never last forever, and I am not a very old man, have not shaved yet), and as Abraham Lincoln said, I will prepare myself, and may I be chance will yet come." Yesterday I attended a vaudville show that was being shown at the Y. M. C. A., and having to stand, I came in contact with a civilian, a real big fellow by the name of Middleton. He asked me.my name, and where was my home, and on being told he grabbed my hand, and tried to wring it off, and before he ceased his demonstrations, he had let everybody know exactly who my home, and come from, and who were my parents, and to document and captains that my father was just as good a man as any who ever wore a shoe. Well, I have said enough, almost too much, hence I will bring this letter to a conclusion. No, I don't mean a conclusion, for it is "to be continued" as they say in magazines, Give my best regards to everybody and especially to the Rev. and the church folks, and tell them all to the church and I and doing for myself, that I may return home, to family and friends, an older, but a wiser and better man. Your devoted and loving son. MONT P. KENNEDY. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE). WILDERFORCE, Ohio.—At the semi-annual session of the Council of Bishops of the A. M. E.
