Secretary of War Baker and Other Prominent Officials Address Conference — Colored Man of Different Shades of Opinion Engage in Free and Frank Discussion Affecting Colored Americans — Resolutions are Adopted. (Special to Twin New York Asl.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—By authority and direction of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, recently called to Washington for a conference of thirty or forty representatives of influential colored newspapers, together with a number of the leaders of thought and opinion among Negroes, to consider methods by which the millions of colored people of the nation may best assist in win many morning, June 10 in the main auditorium of the new building of the Department, of Interior, 18th and F streets, northwest, and continued throughout Thursday and Friday, June 20 and 21. Mr. Scott presided at all the sessions, which were marked by an carcassness of purpose, a broad grasp of the questions at issue and an unwavering loyalty to the flag of the Nation, as well as an intense devotion to the highest interests of colored Americans for whom they came primarily to speak. The committee appointed to summarize the proceedings of the conference was composed of the following: Dr. Robert E. Jones, southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, chairman; Dr. W. E. BDu Bois, the Crisis, New York; John Mitchell, Jr., the Plonet; Richmond; Dr. R. B. Moton, principal Tuskegee Institute; B. J. Davis, the Independent, Atlanta; Fred R. Moore, The Independent, New York, and W. T. Andrews, the Daily Herald, Baltimore. Extract of Resolutions Adapted. Following is an extract from the resolutions adopted by the conference: We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press which has a circulation of more than a million copies, principally among the colored people of America, and representatives of other activities, wish to affirm first of all, Our unalterable belief that the defeat of the German government and what is today represents is of paramount importance to the welfare of the world in general and to our people in particular. We doom it hardly necessary, in view of the unattarnished record of Negro Americans, to reconfirm our loyalty to Our Country and our readiness to make every sacrifice to win this war. We wish, however, as students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to keep these 12,000,00 people at the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active enthusiasm and self-sacrifice participation in the war. participation in the war. We are not unmindful of the recognition of our American citizenship in the draft, of the appointment of colored officers, of the designation of colored advisers to the Government departments, and to other indications of a broadened public opinion, nevertheless we believe today that justifiable grievances of the colored people are producing not disloyalty, but an amount of unrest and bitterness which even the best efforts of their leaders may not be able always to guide unleads they can have the active and sympathetic co-operation of the National and State governments. German propaganda among us is powerless, but the apparent indifference of our own Government may be dangerous. *** The American Negro does not expect to have the whole Negro problem settled immediately; he is not seeking to hold-up a surviving country and a distressed world by pushing irrelevant personal grievances as a price of loyalty; he has not disposed of loyalty.

The correspondent of the New York Evening Sun has sent the following account of the bravery of colored soldiers under attack: "American Negro troops proved their value as fighters in the line east of Verdun on June 12, it is now permissible to state. The Germans attempted a raid in that sector and were completely repulsed by the Negroes. "The Boches began a terrific bombardment at one minute after midnight, throwing over between 3,000 and 4,000 shells from guns ranging in size from 67 to 340 millimetres. The bombardment was concentrated on small areas. Many of the shells made holes from ten to fifteen feet across. "In the midst of this inferno the Negroes coolly stuck to their posts, operating machine guns and automatic rifles and keeping up such a steady barrage that the German infantry failed to penetrate the American lines. The Americans miraculously had only two wounded. "Private Henry Gaillard of New York City, under shell fire, took his automatic rifle from its place of concealment, placed it on the parapet and met the attacking Boches with a rain of bullets. "Private Harry Brown, also of New York City, a member of the Signal Corps, found a telephone line was not working. Ignoring the barrage, he went out to repair the wire. He made twenty-five repairs. "During the attack the crew of a machine gun was bowled over by a Mininwerfer projectile, which made a 15-foot hole ten feet from them. They all got remounted the gun and continued deploying with N.

Captain Rowan is reported to have replied to the order in writing that if the white and colored men were put together in the same organization as privates and forced to stand retreat, making reports to the same officers, he considered a violation of the military law. Rowan also declared that the formation would cause the men shame, and that if the order was held as issued the men would stand retreat in the company streets. Rowan was arrested for this piece of effrontery and his company placed in command of a first lieutenant.

COLORED SALESWOMEN SUCCEED IN ST. LOUIS St. Louis, Mo.-Colored sales-women in department and other large stores will cease to be an oddity, judging by the results which have followed the innovation of employing colored women in the stories in this city. Their employment goes a long way toward solving the problem of getting help in this city. Colored men and women realize that they have before them an opportunity which was never theirs until now, and they are anxious to show that they can be entrusted with positions of responsibility. Colored help is now to be met with in the smaller retail stores, as well as in the wholesale houses, and the managers of these establishments say that the experiment is working out very well.

Coleman, one of the best known and most successful business women in the county, won a notable victory Tuesday against the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company, obtaining damages against the line for attempting to "Jim Crow" her. While returning from Baltimore a few weeks ago Dr. Coleman boarded a car of the company and two of its employees pushed her back, ordering her to take a rear seat. She refused to be discriminated against, asserting her rights as an interstate passenger. She later reported the incident to the officials of the company and then brought suit for damages, securing judgment in the Baltimore courts. Dr. Coleman was ably defended by Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins of Baltimore. TUSKEGEE OFFICERS HOSTS AT MOQUIN'S Dr. Robert R.

J.—The formal opening day of the Hostess Home No. 2, Saturday, was attended by soldiers, their relatives and friends from New Jersey and other states. Representatives of the War Work Council, Y. W.

In a lengthy opinion, Judge Lynn declared that "might must no longer dominate our dealings with another; that we must suppress these ancient, intolerant notions of superiority of one race over another and drive from our minds this iniquitous poison which keeps us backward in the great advance of the world's civilization." Judge Lynn further comments that "the flag of this country is to-day being up held in France by our black men united with their white brothers in resisting this appalling threat against civilization, and that the white Americans must be to respect the colored American's rights and hope." The news decided by Justice Lyun were also announced in that two of the plaintiffs were colored and two white, Will M. Voddery, the well known composer and arranger, and Shepard N. Edmonson, the private detective, brought suits against Hozz polite with Barnard Mathews, the arranger and arranger, and Linda Dunn, the police who probed the case of the Hozz polite. The four actions were separately brought against the same defendant upon the same causes of action and were brought "within like proofs in each case. They were brought to recover the penalty provided by Section 40 of the Civil Rights Law as amended by Chapter 186 of the Laws of 1918. Plaintiffs Edmonds and Vodery are colored men, and plaintiffs Matthews and Dean are white. Upon the conflicting proofs in the case I find the following to be the facts pertinent to the determination of the issue. "On April 18th, 1918, at about therothirty o'clock in the afternoon the four plaintiffs together went to the defendant's cafe and restaurant at 740 Eighth avenue in this city." They approached the bar together and the colored man, Edmonds, asked the three others in the party what they would have to drink; the two white men ordered whiskey when nothing was said about the price; but when one of the colored men ordered gin and the other ordered a nip of ale with beer added, each was informed by the bartender that he would have to pay fifty cents a drink; then the two white men asked how much the whiskey would cost and the bartender replied, Fifty cents a 'drink'. Thereupon one of the colored men ordered a glass of beer instead, and the bartender stated the price would be fifty cents also; the other colored man then refused to order anything. After drinks were served to the three men and upon the bill being tendered to the barkeeper for the same, he only took out seventy-five cents for the round. While the libations of the three men were thus disposed of it appeared that an identical glass of beer in size and quality as was served to one of the colored men was served to another man all the same bar and by the same barkeeper who rang up on the cash register and charged the man five cents for the same. The two white plaintiffs also insisted that previous to the date in question they had been served by the defendant with the same whiskey as they had received on that day and for which they were charged and only paid fifteen cents per drink. The statute in question so far as applicable reads as follows: All persons within the jurisdiction of this State shall be entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any places of public accommodations, resort or amusement, subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable to all persons. No person, being the owner, lessee proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent or employee of any such place shall directly or indirectly refuse, withhold from or deny to any person any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, on account of race, creed or color, or that the patronage or custom thereof, of any person belonging to or purporting to be of any particular race, creed or color The New York IS RELIABLE WHEN YOU BE IN THE AMPT.

Might must no longer ate our dealings with one another. Right must be the only rule to us; and when we hold our hearts minds open to justice, we will be to all the human family. I cannot refrain from commending upon the general apathy in the public mind regarding this law against the crimination on account of race, color or religion. This world war has awakened new thoughts regarding the whole man race. The sharp lines of racial distinction have become less and less marked, and we are learning from the sad story of the world's troubles, the race, religion and color have been plunged in one common struggle against a brutal tyranny. We have tried since our Civil War to put the black man in sitting station as part of our whole people. Narrow prejudice and racial hatreds have preserved themselves to potty hates and narrow conduct, notwithstanding the hate and spirit of our laws, to place no barriers against any man because of his race, creed or color. "The black man is here to stay; he forms a healthy, vigorous potion of our population, and in time will come pare favorably with many of the races we have absorbed from Europe. The day is not far back when our whole country was broken up into narrow subdivisions of petty likes and clans, regarding various portions of the man family; even the Pilgrim Father who set a high standard of community rights and laws, were narrow in their viewpoint, but when the tyrannies of the mother country crowded them with oppressive laws, they found expression in open rebellion and courage in the port of the outside world to help establish our republic; and many rose at that time joined in support of their frelom, notably the Irish race which gave to Washington's army many of its best men; France opened her port and Lafayette drew the war; the personed Jow who found no welcome in any other cline, too joined and needed financial support and more enable the colonies to equip and their armies. "The black man, with his dark cal color, perhaps presents a wide tinction than the other blended man- tities of Europe in their white coat- ure; but this color of his skin should be no less or standard to draw line of demarcation to separate or minish or restrict him from the most opportunities offered to all the rest Lance Moore Sidney in Pra- "Our bag today is being bought by Prescott in our black coat, which will be used to carry the bag from the street to the shop." The National League on Urban Consequences Among Negroes, with headquarters, at 200 Fifth avenue, actively engaged in a campaign to help the Government in the prosecution of those goods that are essential to the prosecution of the crime and playing no small part in the adjustment of Negro labor in central centers. Officials of the league are engaged in improving the morale among Negro prisoners and seeing to it that housing facilities are bettered thereby improving the efficiency of Negro labor. The league advanced by the league is that efficiency means the increase of output figures.

We have taken the brown man in our keeching, and in the Philippine Islands we have set a high standard of promised freedom to those brown men of the East that makes them vulnerable and love the name of America. We have given to the mixed, races, "black and brown of Cuba, as well as Porto Nico, every privilege we enjoy; and the red man we have learned to deal fairly with. And this spirit of equality must be maintained. It is the express policy of our Empley State as shown by its legislative mandate. "We must suppress these ancient intolerant notions of superiority of one race over another; we must drive out of our minds this iniquitous poison which ill becomes us and which keeps us backward in the great advance of the world's civilization; for the time is coming when the races of men must all meet upon a common plane; must all submit themselves to a common standard of righteousness and fair dealing; and let it be hoped that the yellow man of the East will be a part of this common brotherhood; that he too may join in preserving that civilization without which the world must become dark and dreary. "The whole defense of this defendant in a illusory evasion of our law; and to the end that justice may be done and the law fulfilled, I award to each of these four plantiffs, black and white—the sum of one hundred dollars ($100) being the minimum penalty by law provided for the indignity and discrimination placed upon them on the day in question."

The defendant, who kept a restaurant and a cafe, tried to evade serving this party of four men who enforced his place together, by charging them an excessive price for the drinks ordered. The judge not only found that the colored plaintiffs were discrimin- against in violation of the statute, but that it appeared that the barkeeper refused equal accom- mation to the white plaintiffs as well. He went further in his grouping opinion and condemned the overt attacks upon the black rights as a civil invasion. The penalty of one hundred dollars awarded each of the four plaintiffs. The general apathy in the public regard regarding discrimination on account of race, color or religion and sharply commented upon by Judge Lynn. He described, however, a gradual tendency away from building the sharp lines of racial distinction and notes that we are losing that race, religion and color have been plunged in one on struggle against a brutal tyranny. He insists that the spirit of equality must be maintained, saying: "It is the express policy of our Empire State as shown by the legislative mandate." The decision is remarkable for a spirit of humanity and otherhood. It restores faith in belief that justice prevails in courts and righteousness may be found in the law and its A CURIOUS KINK It is rarely that a legal decision is permit for damages makes such good reading from the point human interest as that rendered Mr. Justice Russell of Trinidad, R. W. I., in the case of Medford Waterman. The differences be- come the parties as to matters of were disposed of as "due to memory of one falling him and curious sub-conscious link to communicate. For delivery of touch on a reader spot, the court cannot be surpassed. Later on the judge riddled the plaintiff's attempt to persuade the court that he was a simpleton who had been hoodwinked. The judge said he was satisfied that he did one or two very foolish things, adding caustically: "Clever people often do. One of them is very familiar to members of the legal profession; viz., consulting a lawyer and not telling him all the facts." The plaintiff was given judgment for his claim on a note, but the defendant was allowed damages on a counterclaim to be deducted from the amount due the plaintiff. The result was in the nature of a victory for Mr. Waterman, a well-known merchant of Trinidad, for many years a subscriber to THE AGE. THE HOUSING PROBLEM. One of the problems incident to civilization is the providing of suitable homes for the inhabitants of large cities. The scarcity of space and the congestion of population add to the difficulties of the problem, especially in cities like New York, where each foot of ground is held at a high figure. Especially difficult of solution is this problem for the growing population of Negroes, when they are restricted in their search for housing to certain localities. Every now and then there is a discussion of this housing question in the press and glowing accounts are written in the real estate columns of the coming erection of hotels and modern tenements for colored people in Harlem and other sections. A few years ago one of these movements got so far as to announce a committee consisting of well known real estate men and philanthropists who had determined on a plan to remedy the situation. The intention was to give the Negro the same housing facilities as other members of the community, emphasis being laid on the need of three and four room tenements, so as to do away with the necessity for taking lodgers. The conclusion was that such an enterprise would both uplift the Negro and give a big financial return to its backers: It may be that the war and the increased cost of building materials and labor kept the project from being started. However, the problem still exists and the continued influx of the colored population will render it more acute as time goes on. It is therefore up to the race to seek a solution through its own efforts and resources. Something has already been accomplished on a limited scale through individual enterprise, but the question could be tackled in a larger way and, on more extensive lines by the combination of individual resources in a co-operative movement. The Negroes of New York and other large cities have sufficient funds on deposit in the various savings banks to furnish the necessary capital. They have among their number men of experience in the handling of real estate. If the two forces were harnessed together and directed by prudent and honest management, such an investment should not only pay dividends but solve the problem of housing. SENATORIAL GIZZARDS. The inimitable jester, John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, who occupies a seat in the United States Senate by virtue of fraud and disfranchisement, last week offered an amendment to the woman suffrage measure, by limiting the vote to white women. He is reported as saying that this amendment ought to be accepted by "any man who is white—I don't mean racially white, I mean soulfully white—white clear down to his gizzard." It is not likely that Senator Williams was playing the buffoon on this occasion. More than likely he was in dead earnest and he appealed to the Senatorial gizzard where a speaker with a more right. VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JENNIEH M. COMMERCIAL MARKET There are times when the Congressional Record contains interesting reading matter. Sometimes it contains stuff that is funnier than what is found in our funny papers. And occasionally there are flashes of real wit in it. But generally speaking, it is rather dreary reading. On June 27, the Suffrage Amendment was up before the Senate, and Senator Thompson of Kansas made a good, old fashioned, eloquent speech in support of it. He opened his speech by saying: "Mr. President, from the beginning woman has played her part in the development of civilization. She has done her share toward maintaining the material welfare of mankind and more than her share in advancing the moral welfare of the people. Yet, since Adam and Eve dwelt together in the Garden of Eden woman has been fighting for her rights before the world. Even her helpmate, man, early deserted her in her struggles. In the midst of ignorance, superstition, and oppression, she has been regarded as man's inferior. The darker the age, the more uncivilized the people, the more autocratic the government and fewer the rights she has enjoyed. As time has rolled on and the people have become more civilized and enlightened and the nations of th world more democratic the nearer she has come to be regarded as man's equal, and, indeed, in many things his superior." Mr. Thompson closed his speech with the following pnegyrical tribute to woman: "Her spirit is with us to-day pleading the great cause, so long unjustly denied, to the nobler half of the human family. Like all martyrs, prophets, and seers, she has not only had the vision but the faith and indomitable courage of her convictions, and toiled with almost ceaseless energy while she lived for the cause that was to her above every other cause. Clearly she was in advance of her time. Slowly all thinking and justly disposed peoples are moving up to her advanced position. Her dream has all but become a grand reality. What in her day was to all others but a few faithful followers of a hopeless cause has now risen, swollen-stream fashion, to such a height that he must be brave to the point of foolhardiness who would longer desire to seek to arrest the success of this greatest of world-reform movements." "Yes; posterity will marvel, and justly, if the Senate shall fail her and now to do its duty. Did I say duty? And let me add the words, privilege, solemn and profound. Sirs, we stand in the spotlight! The eyes of the world are gazing fall upon us! The world now waits on the Senate. Let us right these 'immemorial wrongs, woman's otherwise immensible woes.'" In spite of Senator Thompson's eloquence, the Senate did not rise to its solemn and profound duty and did not right those "immemorial wrongs." President Wilson recently expressed his approval of the Suffrage Amendment, but that did not make sufficient impression on the Senate to cause the measure to be put through. After the failure of the Amendment, some of the women said that it did not go through because the President did not put as much effort behind it as he has behind some other measures that he wanted Congress to pass. They expressed the opinion that if the President had gone before the Senate, as he has done on other occasions, and personally plead for the Amendment, the members of that body would not have dared to let it fail. Perhaps that is true; but it must be realized that the Amendment did not fail merely because of any lack of presidential interest in it; it failed because the dominating influence of the party in power is unalterably against it. The Southern Senators, in spite of their traditional reputation for chivalry and gallantry toward the gentler sex, are opposed to the amendment to give the right to vote to women by national law. Just why the Southern Senators take this paradoxical position may be learned from the remarks made by Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi when Senator Thompson had finished his speech. Mr. Williams said: "Mr. President, two things said by the Senator from Kansas have struck me favorably. All of it, of course, has struck me eloquently, because what he read to the Senate was all eloquently indited. One of the things that strikes, me is his reference to the female sex as the nobler part of the human race. I not only agree that women are the nobler part of the human race but the purer part of it, the prettier part of it, the most poetical part of it, and the best part of it in every way in the world. the heart or the intellect of his hearers. Nevertheless, the plea was on the same old lines of white domination and unconsciously he addressed it to the baser portion of the Senatorial anatomy. This was proved by Senator Williams' final declaration that the color line must be drawn not only in the South but all over the country. trials he says: "We froze, stole coal, borrowed coal, begged coal and when coal failed tried every device on earth to produce heat." Many householders outside of Philadelphia will agree with Editor Perry, and unite in his demand to put the coal on the market and let the dealers sell it to the people. And this is one of the leaders of the tribe that are waging a war for world democracy in behalf of universal human rights! The leaders of his party should beseech Senator Williams to stick to his role as a reciter of Southern dialect stories and keep him from butting into debate of serious questions. In a moving article, entitled, "Second Act of the Coal Farce," the amiable editor of the Philadelphia Tribune waxes impatient over the advice of the coal administrators "to fill our cellars with coal." He plaintively asks will the coal administrators advise the patient, long, suffering public where to get trials he says: "We froze, stole coal, borrowed coal, begged coal and when coal failed tried every device on earth to produce heat." Many householders outside of Philadelphia will agree with Editor Perry, and unite in his demand to put the coal on the market and let the dealers sell it to the people. The Denver (Colo.) Star keeps the American flag flying at the top of what should be its editorial columns with this slogan underneath: "Stop lynching, and mob violence by law." Good enough. Now for the law. The question of the hour in Dearfield Colony, Colorado, seems to be "Who kept the seeds?" According to a letter in a Denver paper, two reverends, a stalled machine, a ranch with a female proprietor and an individual named North figured in the disappearance of the seeds in question, species unknown. Ample material for a film mystery is afforded, with plenty in a great Republic where there is a democracy and where people pretend, at any rate, that they are in favor of fraternity and equality and liberty you want a homogeneous population that can be virtually and really brothers with one another. You cannot have that with a heterogeneous population where there is no possibility of blood relationship in lawful marriage. You can only have it where there is a potentiality of blood relationship in lawful marriage. "I have, therefore, made up my mind to give the Senator from Kansas something "sure enough white" to talk about, not merely on the map, but racially and otherwise. I think the amendment which I am going to offer can be understood by any white man or, as they say out West, by any man "who is white" temperamentally white, who is "white sure enough, down to his gizzard," you understand. "I shall, therefore, offer an amendment, and I do now offer it, in line 9, page 1, of the joint resolution after the proposition "of" and before the noun "citizen" to insert the adjective "white," so that the joint resolution shall read: Section 1. The right of white citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States law on account of sex. "Now, Mr. President, I move after the preposition of" and preceding the noun "citizen" in line 9, page 1, of the joint resolution, that there be inserted the adjective "white." Senator Williams here clearly expresses it as his opinion that where there is a heterogeneous population there can be no common democracy. Then since there is a heterogeneous population in the United States, it is his opinion that we can have no common democracy in this country. Now, Senator Williams is one of the most learned and intelligent men in the Senate. A part of his studies were pursued in European universities. Then if he holds such an opinion, what must be the opinion of the great number of half-baked, 22 caliber statesmen that the South sends up to Washington? This opinion expressed by Senator Williams is the majority opinion of the whole South, and the minority opinion is in a very small minority. The best part of the South believes that the Negro should be given a stomach full and be made physically comfortable, just as one would do for a valuable mule, but the thought of admitting him as a full member of a common democracy is as far from their minds as is the farthest star in the firmament. But these extracts from the Congressional Record show better than any written article could that race prejudice and injustice to the Negro does not only concern the Negro and the South; it is a matter of national concern. The North and the West have allowed the South to do as it pleased about the Negro, and now the white women of the North and the West find themselves balked and defeated by this same race prejudice and injustice which has been allowed to grow and establish itself. No part of the nation will be entirely free and independent until absolute freedom and independence is also given to the Negro. THE CASE OF CAPTAIN ROWAN. Several months ago the case of erable attention. Captain Rowan was stationed at Camp Pike. Capture wide notoriety by winning the court; he gained it by refusing to oath. There were both white and color the commander issued an order for refused to draw up his company captain is from Georgia.

But the War Department has strict military justice has been made Rock, Ark., dated June 28, contains telegraphic communication from the headquarters at Camp Pike to-day the 162nd Depot Brigade, was distressed.

Several months ago the case of Captain Rowan attracted considerable attention. Captain Rowan was an officer in the army and was stationed at Camp Pike. Captain Rowan did not gain his nation wide notoriety by winning the French Cross or anything of that sort; he gained it by refusing to obey orders. There were both white and colored men at Camp Pike; and when the commander issued an order for troop formation, Captain Rowan refused to draw up his company in line with Negro soldiers. The captain is from Georgia. The commander of the camp ordered a court martial for Captain Rowan; and about the same time the Mississippi delegation in Congress came to his rescue. It looked for a while as though the mutinous officer might get a promotion rather than a reprimand. But the War Department has been at work on the case, and strict military justice has been meted out. A despatch from Little Rock, Ark., dated June 28, contains these words: "By virtue of a telegraphic communication from the War Department received at headquarters at Camp Pike to-day. Capt. Eugene C. Rowan, late of the 162nd Depot Brigade, was dismissed from the service." This is evidence that the War Department is determined that all men wearing the uniform and standing ready to give their lives for the country shall receive just and fair treatment. Of course it would be out of place to give the War Department praise for its action, because its action is exactly what should be expected of the War Department; nevertheless, we cannot help but express thanks for such a precedent. Captain Rowan refused to draw up his company in line with Negro soldiers because he thought he could do it and get away with it. He counted on the sentiment of prejudice, and felt that the War Department would not care or dare to run counter to it. He never would have refused to obey the order of his superior officer had he thought that he would be court-martialed and dismissed from the army. Perhaps he was misled by the fact that when the mobilization of our forces first began several instances in which white soldiers made it more or less unpleasant for colored soldiers were allowed to pass without any drastic action by the Department. This much is certain. With the dismissal of Captain Rowan as a precedent, no other officer from Georgia or any other state will even think of refusing to obey an order because he considers that it conflicts with his ideas of race superiority. According to the records kept by the Division of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, there have been in this period, 35 lynchings. This is 21 more than the number, 14, for the first six months of 1917, and 10 more than the number, 25, for the first six months of 1916. Of those lynched, 34 were Negroes and 1 was white. Eight of those put to death, all Negroes, were charged with the crime of rape. Of those put to death three were women. The other two were lynchings. of Captain Rowan attracted considera was an officer in the army and captain. Rowan did not gain his name French Cross or anything of that they orders.

Hearn NEGRO TROOPS ARE NOT AFFLICTED WITH BLUES Colored troops in France are not afflicted with the "homesickness blues," at least this cannot be said of the 372d Regiment, according to Harry Wilson Reid, a member of the medical department of the regiment, who writes THE AGE as follows: "The European war is the greatest war the world has ever witnessed, and today you will find all true American citizenship of the U. S. A, especially those who have husbands, sons, brothers and sweethearts in France, eagerly watching the newspapers morning and night, in hopes of finding some good new concerning their loved ones in France, who are so near the front. The majority of the people think that we are homestick and blue; but they are mistaken for there is no sign of the "homestickness blues" among the colored troops in Europe, especially among the 372 boys. "From the time they started to pack their clothes for the oversea journey to the present date, there has been a continuation of joy and pleasantness among our boys; and I have not the slightest doubt that this feeling will follow throughout this great struggle and will we reach the soil of the dear old U.S.A again. "Each day you will find every effort and enlisted man basly engaged trying to learn every secret of modern warfare that will be of an advantage to America in helping to win this great war. It has not only been said, but thought among many of the people that we would never have an opportunity to help our loyal white citizens of America to win this great struggle for democracy; but as time is the only true fortune teller, it has proven their words and thoughts to be wrong. Because we are actually serving our country now. "Each day the boys go about their daily duties, not only willingly, but cheerfully singing and whistling their old American melodies. Old Kentucky Home seems to relieve the boys from Kentucky of the idea that they are away from home, while Home Again in Indiana lifts us from our feet. Take Me Back To Old Virginia is a stimulant to all our Virginia boys. It is useless for me to mention the popular song, Old Black Joe, because it is known as one of our favorite songs. "The boys receive so much pleasure out of their daily work they seem to forget all about the surrounding excitement. I must not forget to mention the attitude of the French people to all American soldiers. They do all in their power to make it pleasant for us; and it, is highly appreciated by all of the soldiers. "There is one thing which I wish to impress upon all of our people, and that is they should write to their soldier boys as often as they can. A letter is highly appreciated by all soldiers. These few lines are sufficient to let the people know that we are all O. K. (Signed) "HARRY WILSON REID. "372nd Regiment, Med. Dept." ST. AUGUSTINE ORGANIZES FOR ADVANCEMENT St. Augustine, Fla. - A large and enthusiastic crowd greeted the Hon. J. Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. on last Monday evening at St. Paul's A. M. F. Church. He created a deep feeling of patronism and race pride. He clearly outlined the purpose and aim of the N. A. A. C.

Rochester Post-Express. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN No more of a wonder are the airplanes and the submarines; is the great war than the Hostess House inside the military camps of the United States. The more conservative Regular Army officer is the valuable service rendered by this new institution and even times to ask that a Hostess House be put in his camp. Still it is reluctant to accept it as a family. What would Caesar and Napoleon say if he found women in a camp? Yet women are in these cantonments, in the Hostess House; and the good effect of the Hostess House in the camp can rarely be calculated. Go with me to Camp Uptown and let me get the pulse of Hostess House No. 1. On arriving at 7:30 p.m. we were informed that no ladies could enter with a pass. Having secured a pass we went into a taxi and were driven down the street, passing bartracks after bartracks dreary, lonesome looking frame buildings. Suddenly we passed a beautiful little house all aglow. Specifically active were the old rose house shades and contains of old rose and blue jersey with carefully arranged jersey which made this piece one of the most inviting and beautiful we asked. "Where did you say you wanted to go?" said the driver. "Oh, well, this is No. 3." We were surprised and delighted. When we entered a little lady adore from her seat amid a group of soldiers and one forward to greet us. She had been expecting us and was so glad we were. After our excitement had subsided we looked about. The spacious rooms was full of soldiers, every chair and the space at all the tables was taken, and full some men were standing. Some of the men were writing, others reading, playing games and talking. At the piano stood a soldier singing in a very soft voice. "Deep" sat at a table talking seriously over a paper which key they beheld them. Three were listening to the fourth fellow who spoke very broken English and was telling that his mother, who was very old, peniless, alone and with no support, was suffering and wanted to be with her in these last days of her life. The scope was most touching when you decked that his mother did not one dollar's worth of property and he tried to get exemption. The Jews were eager to assist him and fully after telling him what to do in meeting at the bat and we will go with you. You ought to be with your mother." Our attention was attracted to another section of the room by seeing two groups of colored soldiers gathered about a larger table. They were instantly laboring over a sheet of papers there were three colored ladies wearing blue and red dresses. I saw the tiny hand of one of the two women holding the great hand of the colored soldier and guiding it laboriously through the motions of writing his name. Of course, we wanted to know what that meant, and were told that many of the men from the South could not write their names. Their offices are many of the men spent after after after, and we effortlessly teach them. Yet so great was the need of teachers that the hostesses had volunteered to teach at night. We were deeply interested, everybody seemed to be enjoying himself in his own way, yet it was so quiet and耐烦. There was no smoking, no loud talking, yet men, men of all conditions and nationalities. I was surprised to bed at a hostess house which is for the women of the soldiers that there are women in this room, but told that the women in the day and all attention is given them, but they must be out of camp at 7:30 p.m. Then the men take possession of the holding. The men call it home and will not allow a comrade to smoke or keep it on in this house. This is a law of the soldiers' own making. Here, when I looked, the scene had changed and almost all of the men had gone to the swallow fellow was closing the window—it was ten minutes of ten. Then if there was anything else he could do before he left. When told 'there was nothing, he too left, and at ten o'clock every soldier was out of the house. The hostess turned off the lights and we were conducted to our rooms, as we were to be there for some days. We were told that this hostess house had for the past four months been used as a training center and it to the other camps. For the Host House at Camp Funston, Mr Amy's Grate at Camp Dodge, Mr Calvin Lovelace at Camp Dixie, Hakee at Camp Gordon in Atlanta, and many others are waiting to be sent to camp. This was has found Negroes ready to enter and die which has opened to them in industrial pursuits or occupation service, and when I think of the great service rendered by the T.W.A. I am its pride and comfort in that behind all the work organized in the colored women in this organization stars Miss Eva D. Bowles. --- BOSTON BY XITA An old lady cause is to the house and asked if we could洗 his son, yet she knew he was not there, he had been arrested as a deserter and the just knew he had been shot. Great tears stood in her eyes as she listened to what I had told her. She was dead just the same. I worked on this case for three hours to locate the boy. In the situation, she had gone home broken-hearted. When we finally located him I wrote her a special letter and told her to come out the next day and see her son, a real, strong boy, course the same on the earliest trial, would relate his cases similar to these. The House Houses is a great blessing to the women, and certainly men are more content when the women are happy. A group of colored men was enthusiastically talking one night in a corner of the Hostess House. They were telling how anxious they were to "get the Kaiser." They were anxious to get "over there" because they were to see the War over and to win democracy for the world. But even in their high spirits there was a pathetic touch when one of them said, "We want not only to make the world safe to live in but our own country too." It was a joy to see these fellow drill and a joy to see them come into the Hostess House, for they had the same pride in the Hostess House as they had in making themselves the best soldiers in the world. In their happy expectation they come to say: my mother or my sweetheart will be here. When you take care of me until I can come, I will probably will be here today. I can not be here until 6 tonight. I know you will make them comfortable and happy. In their sad hours they are there. They often talk of their domestic affairs and seek advice. The officer is more aloof. You rather surmise than know if he has a worry. The Negro officer is very noncommittal. You may see a shadow on his face, but you will seldom get a word from him about his difficulties. He is an officer in every sense of the word and knows that he has got out of his men. You can hear the privates discussing their colored officers. "Yes, I just love my officer. I would go anywhere in the world he told me to do and do anything." When I think of what I saw at Camp Upton and realize the value of the Hostess House, it seems useless to try to tell about the work. I have often heard boys say, 'I would have deceived you, and it not been the place.' We say this is the most terrible war the world has had that science has spent itself in death-dealing mechanisms; but in some respects perhaps no war has been more human. The world has never so much as in this war shrank from the hills which which have been the true home and the touches fine womenhood has been at redeeming and as a shelter flatten. We think about most rushing fendishly into combat, but also is the sweet memory of the first lad who loved music and bourgei records that Hostess House No. 3 might have more music; and we shall never forget the face of the lad on Sunday night as he joined in our singing of hymns in the mother that soldier actually sing hymns as well as sweat and gamble. So much devolves upon women to maintain and promote real civilization in the midst of this present orgy of death and destruction, and I was most thankful that I could spend at least a few months from my own sons to cheer, direct and comfort thousands of sons of other mothers. SEYMOUR CARROLL STIRS RIDGELAND AUDIENCE (Special to The RIDGELAND, S.

Two little colored girls dressed in white with Red, White and Blue sathes selling War Stamps on a Subway train. A colored newboy selling the colored papers in a Subway train. A colored man who had been imbibed too freely of intoxicants on a Subway train sitting with language. The conducting a busy Krishna was asking to get him and the train and as he was about to accomplish his desire, the 96 Street Station was reached. Two colored soldiers boarded the train and took parts near the informant man. At the sight of our men in khaki, the poor unfortunate screamed out, Ah! there's the follows that can knock 'can one; once boys, take me to the firing line. I'll show you what I can do. Give me a hand. They moved over to him, put their arms about his wrist, lifted him up and carried him up his head, the sympathy of his own—his most needling and soothing effect.

THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT (BY LEETER A WALTON) SOME weeks ago the America' Over There League which should be highly commended for its good work in sending theatrical folk to France to promote entertainment for our soldiers, into circulation literature on which was printed "nigger minstrels." In registering a protest against one of this term I stated in my letter to one of the prominent members of the league that aside from "nigger minstrels" being particularly offensive to colored Americans I ordered it an unwise move to transplant this germ of racial interest to France—a country where democracy is more than a mere figure of speech. The party to whom I wrote is an mentocrat by birth, a native of Bost ton and a graduate of Harvard. Here is his comment on the sub- ject: In connection with "nigger minstrels, may I ask you to notice that our list contains without apparent offense, the titles "dao," "rube," "squaw" and "English dude?" Putting the terms "rube," "rumor" and "English dude" in the category with "nigger" is like identifying the aroma of the rose that of the garbage can. There is a difference in the fragrance and there certainly is a difference in the significance of names. The dictionary tells us that "nigger" is a low, mean person and we know that it generally regarded in this country as a form of opprobrium. Moreover, it is gratifying to state that the America's Over There League has promised to discontinue the use of this obnoxious term. Although not wholly germane to the subject under discussion, I am wondering if "dago" would be regarded as a term of endearment by the Italians—one of the Allies. Negro Players in Negro Plays From Pittsburgh comes a letter written by F. Grant Gilmore, who plays in part: I know you will be interested to learn about a drama, written by a Negro, was currently produced at one of our local tree by amateur talent, which was used by a Negro and all characters and actors, and was portrayed by these. Those portraying the white characters were so near in color that ar- tificialicans were not necessary to them look the part. This is the time, to my knowledge, that such a special venture has been undertaken similar circumstances. 'am an amateur serving cover of my book "The Problem. which I dramatized, and I trust you will contents that you may judge its ar- merita. In the cast of characters when pre- vented in Pittsburgh were talented entrants, including Sari B. Writt, George H. White, J. William Writt, Dana Dambie, Eugene Eywer, Deckerson, Margaret E. Taylor, Thomas Wilson, Edith W. Lethwick, Elizabeth Morris, Florence Arter and Davis W. Jeffries. It is pleasing to learn that the colored public has taken kindly to this novel theatrical experiment, for Mr. Gilmore and his co-workers are deserving of much success. It is good to hear that a colored theatrical organization has the proper appreciation of Negro life and the tenacity to put its ideas on the subject into concrete form. The tendency of the colored actor of to-day is to appear in some dramatic production especially written for white actors. It often requires quite an elastic imagination to watch colored actors in their endeavor to put over convincingly their parts. As much as I should like to see a colored dramatic company on Broadway for a long run, I fear this ambition will not be realized as long as our dramatic organizations insist on presenting plays distinc- incoogruity in colored actors essaying to play such roles as the Governor, District Attorney, President of the Stock Exchange, wife of the Ambassador, and Daughter of the Admiral. Secondly, the white cast for which a play is written is superior to the colored cast, which is to be expected. There should be no abridgment of the colored actor's opportunities to climb—no curb to his ambition. He should possess versatility as well as ability, and his goal in the realm of dramatic endeavor should be just as high as that of the white actor. But the records show that the Negro artist usually rises to fame by giving to the public what he can do best. Bert Williams never would have become one of the stars of the stage by trying to take off the part of a white man, and Negro music is primarily responsible for the high standing Harry Burleigh occupies as a composer. We hear much nowadays about the esprit de corps of our colored troops. Let us hope that in the near future we can refer to the esprit de corps of our colored troups. When this happy condition obtains I am confident we will have some Negro plays with Negro players and the stage will profit by this unique contribution just as the musical world has been greatly benefited by Negro music.

WAR DEPARTMENT COMMISSION TAKES OVER AUDITORIUM WAR DEPARTMENT COMMISSION TAKES OVER AUDITORIUM Commissioner Malcolm McBride acting chairman of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, and chairman of the Military Entertainment Committee of the Commission, announces that the Buffalo Auditorium at Camp Upton has been taken over by the Commission on the suggestion of Col. James A. Moss of the 367th Infantry, whose regiment is now overseas. The arrangements made were: 1. That the War Department Commission is to supply the entertainment and the necessary help for the operation of the Buffalo Auditorium, and will also look after the upkeep of the building. Z. The Commission is to receive all assistance from the theatre tickets and to pay all the names named in item "D" of the contract. "Any profits accruing, are to be turned over to the Commanding General at Camp Upton, who will in turn, turn such profits over to Dr. William J. Schieffelin, treasurer, 363th Infantry, Welfare League, 170 William street, New York City, to be applied to the redemption of the unredeemed portion of the auditorium bonds." Colonel Moss himself arranged with Dr. Schieffelin to act as Treasurer; all all bonds have been redeemed. All profits from the Auditorium shall be applied to the redemption of the Au- "THE OTHER WIFE" TO BE AT THE LAFAYETTE Next week at the Lafayette Manager Levy will present "The Other Wife," one of the most tense and powerful dramas of the modern stage. The story tells of a young man tricked into marriage with a designing woman, only to be thrown aside as worthless when she learns that he has been disinherited by his wealthy parents. Later young Bevington learns that the woman who has almost wrecked his life has been killed in a railroad accident. He goes on to learn that his maine is happily married and eventually rises to a high position in the legal profession. Years of domestic happiness follow until on the night of his eighteenth wedding anniversary, the former wife whom he believed dead puts in an appearance to the family, and the legal wife. He is almost overcome with grief and desperation when his daughter, unconsciliably, suggests a solution by telling him the story of a play she had witnessed that evening wubberin a child, and then ened to reveal her past. Prompted by a desperate impulse, Bevington picks up his revolver and goes forth to meet the "Other Wife." An instant later two shots are heard and the man staggers away, believing that he has rid himself forever of the spectre that has haunted him. Bevington plans a vacation trip abroad for his daughter, in order to separate her from her sweetheart, when word is brought to him that a stranger has been arrested; charged with the murder of the mysterious woman. - The lawyer resolves that he will not allow another man to suffer for his crime and decides to defend the accused stranger. Bevington succeeds in gaining a verdict of not guilty for his client, when to his amazement the stranger makes a startling confession, would not be fair, relate what occurs between the lawyer and his client; it is sufficient to state that the audience is treated to a series of thrills. To be appreciated it must be seen. In the character of Robert Bevington, Walker Thompson will have one of the best acting parts he has had this season. There are many excellent parts in 'The Other 50' and they will all be element, of which there is an abundance, will be handled by Miss Ellis, Mr. Moseley and Mr. Coleman.

The conference was addressed in a sympathetic vein during the sessions by Prominent Negroes recently in conference and the the following well known men: Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, George Creel, Chairman of the Committee on Public Information; Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Edward N. Hurley, Chairman of the United States Shipping Board; Maj. Joel E. Spingarn, attached to the General Staff, United States Army; Capt Arthur S. Spingarn of the Medical Reserve Corps, National Army; Gen. Paul Vignal, military attache of the French Embassy; Maj. Edouard Requin and Maj. L. P. DeMontal of the French High Commission. The discussion covered a wide range and the conferences were given an opportunity to present their views, reflecting the state of mind of the colored people of the country, with the utmost freedom and frankness, unharmed by parliamentary restrictions or any effort to direct opinion in any particular channel—save that if utilizing in the most effective manner every resource at the command of the race to bring victory to the American arms in its present struggle for liberty and world-wide democracy. Mr. Scott's admirably-tempered address at various stages of the deliberations repeatedly admonished the conferences to voice their sentiments fully and fearlessly, laying all grievances and suggestions for their redress upon the common altar, with the view of strengthening where needed the patriotism and morale of the Negro people. So fair and impartial were the rulings of the chair upon every point raised or principle enunciated, that at no time was a single exception taken to them. Every conceivable shade of individual opinion was represented in the body, but there was from the outset a firm disposition to subordinate private and personal considerations to the general good, without regard to politics, creed, faction or section. This lofty aim was adhered to most religiously. Dignity of statement, harmony of thought and unity of action were the predominating features of the three days' session. The document, reported by the special committee appointed to summarize the expression of the conference as to the best plans for the mobilization of the resources of the 12,000,000 Negroes of the Republic in support of the war aims of the government, was adopted by a unanimous vote, given heartily and enthusiastically. "America" was sung with fervor and unction as final adjournment was taken. To enliven the occasion for the distinguished visitors a local committee of citizens provided a series of entertainments which included, among other interesting things, a theatre party of fifty at the Howard Theatre, Wednesday evening to witness the presentation of "The Divorce Question" by the Quality Amusement Company, of New York City: a smoker STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR Not with bet horn. But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the Kinkless kind of hair. Kinkless hair is the most beautiful. If you 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 night. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So sharply does it do its work that one cannot be beaten to a sound coat. No magic, and is unlike because there is not another preparation in the world like it. I receive a reward of $100 for any head that Kink-no-more will not treat. Kink-bo-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the skin not positively remove it stop it from promoting a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keep it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-bo-more is sold under a guarantee to do that and that will need to be paid or money to be paid. It will need to be paid receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-bo-more enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair.

Self-Denial The War Department announces that the airplane service will require all the castor-oil for lubrication purposes, and they have resolved politically to impose over guarantees on the From a standpoint of active, earnest and co-operative service and responsibility, the attendants or "Red Caps" as they are commonly known, occupy at the Grand Central Terminal, America's greatest railway center, a position of as much importance as any of the employees of the railroads entering the Grand Central Terminal. There are employed at the Grand Central Terminal 170 "Red Caps" and they stand in what can rightfully be called "the greatest gateway in the world." It is esti- ere taken with two French Generals Army. mated that more than 250,000 persons pass through this terminal daily, including travelers from all parts of the civilized world. The carrying of hand bags is not the principal duty of the "Red Cap." He is guide for the traveler; he must be alert; intelligent and polite at all times. He must also be willing to import accurate information when desired. In this the Grand Central Terminal is most fortunate in having employees - fully measure up to this standard; for among them are men with a knowledge of law, medicine and all branches of professional and manual labor. Five "Red Caps" from the Grand Central Terminal attended the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines. One was awarded a first lieutenant's commission and two of them second lieutenant's commissions. The other two are first and second lieutenants in the 15th Battalion, National Guard. At the Grand Central Terminal the "Red Caps" record for doing their part for the Government is as follows: They have given to the service sixteen commissioned officers, three of whom are serving in France with the 15th New York Infantry. One first lieutenant is in the Medical Corps at Camp Dodge, Ia. Ten "Red Caps" have been given to the Civil Branch of the United States Government—the Post Office Department. Another is engaged in ship building and two serving under the British Government fighting with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. The Grand Central attendants have furnished all "Red Caps" in the Army with sweaters, helmets, wristlets, socks and scarfs. 1st Lieut. Archie McKee was given a pair of army regulation field glasses and 1st Lieutenant Wilson a wrist watch and colored papers are sent "over there" weekly and Chief Williams writing to his former comrades every ten days. The "Red Caps" of the Grand Central Terminal gave New York its first colored policeman-J. S. Battle. Two former "Red Caps" are now principals of schools and some have attended Harvard, Hampton, Howard, Lincoln, New York City College and other well known institutions of learning. Several "Red Caps" speak several different languages. George Gabriel, an Abyssinian, speaks twelve languages fluently. For the benefit of the men an association, known as the "Red Caps" Beneficial Association, was formed in 1911, and to date $7,701.06 has been paid out for sickness, death and charity. Then there are a number of clubs among the "Red Caps" to save money, which is divided at the end of the year. James H. Williams has been employed at the Grand Central Terminal for sixteen consecutive years, twelve of which he has been chief attendant. He has two assistants—John O Matthews and Charles W. Freeman.
