IN "THE AGE" YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT. MOST WHEN INFORMING. Congressmen Greatly Shocked Over Needless Killing of Negroes. POKE FUN AT TRIPP Call Officer of Militia a "Parlor Soldier" and a Hopeless Incompetent—Soldiers and the Police Known to Have Shot to Death Innocent Colored People-Mayor Mollman and Officials of Town Denounced — Employers Accused of Paying Little Heed to the Welfare of Colored Employees. Washington, D. C.—The attention of the Secretary of War and the Illinois State authorities has been directed to the disgraceful part played by Col. S. O. Tripp, militiamen and the police during the East St. Louis, Ill., riots last summer. Representatives Ben Johnson, John E. Baker, M. D. Foster and Henry Allen Cooper, who for months have been holding a Congressional inquiry to ascertain the cause of the East St. Louis riots, have recommended that there be further investigation and prosecution of Louis officials, are accused of infraction of duty by the Congressmen, whose report in part follows: "Your committee appointed for the purpose of making investigation of the East St. Louis riots which occurred on May 28 and July 2, 1917, reports that as a result of unlawful conditions existing at that place, interstate commerce is not only openly and violently interrupted but was virtually suspended for a week or ten days during and following the riot of last July. For months after the July riot instigate commerce was interfered with and hindered, not, however, by open acts of violence, but by a subtle and effective intimidation of colored men who had been employed by the railroads to handle freight consigned from one State to another. So many of these men were driven out of East St. Louis as the result of the July riot that the railroads could not secure necessary help. After the worst effects of the riot had passed this class of labor remained frightened and intimidated that it would not live in East St. Louis. Some of them took up their residences across the river in St. Louis, and would go over to East St. Louis in the morning to work and would return to that place before nightfall. In order to get out of East St. Louis and back to St. Louis before night came on the length of the dirt work was reduced. The fright of these laborers went to such an extent—and it was fully justified by existing conditions—that special means of transportation had to be provided for them back and forth between St. Louis and East St. Louis in order to get them to work at all. Besides the killing of a number of these Negro laborers a very large number, indeed led from the work and never returned. In addition to this, 44 freight cars were burned and serious damage to the railroad tracks, all of which will be referred to further along in this report. Your committee made an earnest, inspirational effort to determine the IMPORTANT NOTICE. The United States Government has instructed all newspapers to discontinue all return copies and to supply agents with enough copies only to fill their regular orders. The Government also has instructed to discontinue the use of free samples or free promotion copies. Owing to the congested conditions of the mails all news matter must be in this office not later than Tuesday evening of each week to insure publication. This paper is mailed on Thursday of each week to all agents and subscribers. basic cause of the riot. We endeavored to pursue every avenue of information to its source, searched the hearts and consciences of every witness, and sought the opinions of men in every walk of life. The officers of the mills and factories placed the blame at the door of organized labor; but the overwhelming weight of testimony, to which is added the convictions of the committee, ascribes the mob spirit and its murderous manifestations to the bitter race feeling that had grown up between the whites and the blacks. "It was proven conclusively that the various industries in St. Clair County were directly responsible for the importation of Negroes from the South. Advertisements were printed in various Southern newspapers urging the Negroes to come to East St. Louis and promising them big wages. In many instances agents were sent through the South to urge Negroes to abandon profitable employment there and come to East St. Louis, where work was said to be plentiful and wages high. "One of the Coal railroads sent an agent to the Southern States, and on some trips he brought back with him as many as 30 or 40 Negro men, all of them employed at their Southern homes, making from $2 to $2.50 a day. A number of these men testified before the committee that they were promised $2.40 a day 'and board' if they would come to East St. Louis; but when they did come they were paid only $1.40 a day, with an allowance of 60 cents a day for board, and were fed on coffee, bread, and 'lasses' and made to sleep on sacks in box cars, where they suffered keenly from the cold. "Responsibility for this influx of 10,000 or more Negroes into East St. Louis rests on the railroads and the manufacturing establishments, and they must bear their share of the responsibility for the ensuing arson and murder that followed this unfortunate invasion. "It is a lamentable fact that the employers of labor paid too little heed to the comfort or welfare of their men. They saw them crowded into wretched slaves, with no water or any of the food they needed to live in the disreputable quarters of the town, and made no effort to lift them out of the mire. Negroes gravitated to the unsanitary sections, existed in the squalor of filthy cabins, and made no complaint. "Negroes were induced to buy homes in white districts by unscrupulous real estate agents; and, as a consequence, the white people sold their homes at a sacrifice and moved elsewhere. Owners as tenants, charging them $15 a month rent for houses for which white workmen had nailed only $10. Shoot Up Negro Section. "East St. Louis wallowed in a mire of lawlessness and unshamed corruption. Criminals from every quarter of the country gathered there, unmolested and safe from detection. This was the condition of affairs on the night of July 1, 1917, when an automobile—some witnesses say there were two—went through a Negro section of the city and fired promiscuously into their homes. No one was injured, but the aroused a fierce spirit in the breasts of the Negroes. "The ringing of a church bell at midnight, which was a pre-arranged signal, drew a crowd of Negroes from that immediate section armed with guns and pistols. They marched through the streets ready to avenge the attack on their homes. They had not gone far until an automobile containing several policemen and a newspaper reporter crossed their path, having been notified by telephone that there was danger of an outbreak. The Negroes cursed them and told them to drive on, although one of the detectives flashed his police badge and assured them that they had come to protect them. "For answer the Negro mob fired a volley into the machine which, at the first shot, drove rapidly away. The negroes continued to empty their guns and pistols, with the result that one of the officers was instantly killed and another so badly wounded that he died later. The police automobile, riddled with bullets, stood in front of police headquarters next morning and thousands viewed it. The early editions of the papers gave full details of the tragedy of the night before. And, on July 2, East St. Louis awoke to a realization of the awful fact that the dread which had knocked at every heart for months could no longer be denied. "The news of these murders and fresh outrages spread rapidly, and the streets soon filled with excited people. Men and boys, girls and women of the town began to attack every Negro in sight. All fared alike, young and old, women and children; none was spared. The crowd soon grew to riotous proportions, and for hours the man hunt continued, stabbing, clubbing and shooting, not the guilty but unoffending Negroes. One was hanged from a telephone pole and another had a rope tied around his neck and was dragged through the streets, the maddened crowd kicking and beating him as he lay prostrate and helpless. "Negroes were pursued into their homes, and the torch completed the work of destruction.

Vincent, who is the first colored physician to serve as an interne at the Bellevue Hospital, was graduated from Shaw University in 1913 and completed a course in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania this year. He was born in Raleigh, N. C., January 5, 1892. Dr. Vincent was one of the honor men of his class and was popular with his classmates at the University of Pennsylvania. Piano player shoots WIFE, KILLS HIMSELF Oliver White, a piano player, is dead, and his wife, Alma, is at the Harlem Hospital in a serious condition as the result of a quarrel which started when Mrs. White accused her husband of flirting with other women. The shooting took place early Monday morning at the White residence, 28 West 135th street. Sunday night the couple went out together and did not get home until early Monday morning. Then the wife upbraided White for flirting with other women and the shooting followed. The piano player first shot Mrs White and then himself Mrs White telephoned to police headquarters and Detective Buckley was sent to investigate the shooting. Husband and wife were taken to the Harlem Hospital where White died thirty minutes later. He was forty-two and Mrs White is thirty-four WOULD-BE HERO IS ARRESTED AS DESERTER Special to The New York Ack. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE "Private Henry Johnson," who represented himself as one of the heroes of the old Fifteenth Regiment, and who was given sums of money by the citizens of Manhattan and Brooklyn, is now in the custody of United States Army authorities, who arrested him last Thursday in Bridgeport, Conn., on the charge of being a deserter. The counterfeit hero is said to be a member of the 365th Infantry, and he has been missing from his regiment for several weeks. After receiving rough treatment in Harlem at the hands of friends of the real hero, the faker went to Bridgeport, where he was reciting his deeds of valor to interested colored citizens when arrested.

She applicant to be accepted. on informing! Jackson, Tenn.—Miss Frances R. Elliott has received word she has been enrolled as a nurse in the American Red Cross. is the first colored applicant to be accepted. The communication informing Miss Elliott of her selection and which indicates that the fight for the recognition of colored nurses by the Red Cross has been won, follows: Just a line to tell you an interesting fact. You have the honor of being the first colored nurse to be enrolled in the Red Cross. Your pin number is No. 1. I thought you might be interested in this. I am glad the first nurse is likely to be so fine a representative of the profession. Local representatives of the Red Cross and colored nurses residing in New York were highly elated when informed by THE AGE that the War Department and the American Red Cross had receded from its original stand and had decided to use colored nurses in the world war. It is believed by New York officials that within a few days colored applicants here will receive notice of their enrollment and their pin. Reach Better Understanding. Officials of the New York chapter of the Red Cross and local colored nurses are now working in unison as the result of a series of meetings held last week. On the afternoon of July 10 a conference was held at the Lafayette Hall, 132nd street and Seventh avenue, when cordial invitation was extended colored nurses to meet and discuss the advisability of establishing friendlier relations with the Red Cross. Mrs C. T Overton, division superintendent of auxiliaries, presided. One of the principal talks on behalf of colored nurses was made by Mrs Adah B Thome, superintendent of nurses at Lincoln Hospital, who said in part "I came not to bury Caesar, but to praise him." In saving this I am sure that I voice the sentiment of nearly 10,000 Negro men and women, four thousand of whom are Negro nurses, toward the Red Cross Nursing Association. Many seem to feel that we are hostile toward the Red Cross for not accepting us as members. Representing the Negro nurses as I do, I want to say that we are not hostile toward the American Red Cross. We know that this is not the time for hostilities; but I must say frankly that we have not understood its attitude toward the Negro nurse. ALIEN REGISTRANTS HOLD BIG MEETING "It is far from our desire to become members of this or any other organization for the sake of 'social equality'. We are, as you know, a very happy race. Wherever we are and under all circumstances. Besides, there are so many social standards in our own race that we can very easily find our social center. What we are earnestly seeking is an opportunity to serve. "As nurses we have only one desire in our hearts. That is to enter into this great struggle for democracy for work side by side with our more fortunate sisters if needed, or to be assigned to our own troops that we have so willingly given to fight and shed their blood in order to make the world a better and happier place to live. "I have not accepted your invitation here tonight to ask any favors for our nurses. I have come to ask that our rights be granted through your organization and that of the Surgeon Gen- Jackson, Tenn. My dear Miss Elliott Nursing. Reach Better Understanding. eral. I have come to ask that we be enrolled and assigned to duty at home and overseas, and that we be given the standing to which our training entitles. This is all I ask and, do not feel that I am asking too much. Mrs. Overton, Miss Burns and the other representatives of the Red Cross agreed with Mrs. Thoms and her associates that their demand for recognition was a just one and pledged their aid to help bring about a more satisfactory state of affairs. Big Meeting at Palace Casino One of the largest mass meetings ever held in Greater New York is colored citizens was staged at Palace Casino in 135th street Thursday evening of last week. Over three thousand persons were in the representative audience, and the work of the Red Cross was interestingly told. As the attitude of the American Red Cross toward the Negro has been puzzling to many, the meeting was held in order to give representatives of the organization an opportunity to clearly define its policies. One of the prime movers in arranging for the meeting was Mrs. Tale Lowden, acting chairman of the Society, Bureau, who, knowing the broadly attitude of many societies, endeavored toward the Red Cross, deemed an opportune that Red Cross workers appear before a colored audience and make a plea for the fullest co-operation. Mrs August Belmont, who has seen service in France in the interest of the Red Cross, told of her work overseas and made complimentary reference to the 309 Infantry Band. She failed to assure the one hundred colored nurses present that they would be welcomed in the Red Cross and her disinclination to deal specifically with the colored nurse question was disappointing. Hon Charles W. Anderson, who preciated, showered laudations on Mrs. Belmont and the colored soldier during his address. One of the musical treats of the evening was the violo solo played by Corporal Paul Ioogolevich, a 16-year-old veteran of the Russian Army, who was accompanied by Miss Martha Atwood. The musical program follows: National Airs of Our Allies— a. French. b. Italian. c. Russian. d. British. 15th Regiment Band— Fred Simpson, Director "Star Spangled Banner"— Audence and Chorus. J. Rosamond Johnson, Director Welcome ... Leo Arnstoln Chairman Executive Committee New York County Chapter Amer- Jean Red Cross Martha Atwood Address ... Mrs August Belmont Violin Solo Corporal Paul Iogolevitch (Sixteen year veteran of the Russian Army) "America" Audience and Chorus. In pursuance to a call issued to all friendly alen registrants in the division for Local Board No. 140, over three hundred persons attended the meeting at St. Philip's Parish House, 215 W. 133d street, Thursday, July 11, Ralph F. Langton, chairman of the board, presided. He stated that the object of the call was to explain the status of neutral alens under the selective service regulations. John D. Lannon, the government appeal agent for the board, explained to those present that while they had the privilege to serve in the armies of their respective countries it was the duty of each to wave deferred classification and fight in the ranks by the side of those with whom he had taken up his residence. The Rev. Everard W. Daniel, curate of St. Philip's P.E. Church, in a convincing talk, urged his fellow countrymen to collect for service under the Stars and Stripes, and choose for comrades-in-arms those by whose sides they earn their daily bread. Constant J. Spereco, recently appointed a member of the board to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. Edward T. Hull, was present and made a few appropriate remarks. EGISLATORS FAVORMOBLAW Louisiana Lawmakers Put Themselves On Record as Upholders of Lynching. Representatives Evans and Webb Who Live in Districts Where Negroes are in the Majority Lead Fight Against the Passage of Anti-Lynching Bill. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK NEW ORLEANS, La.—Shortly before the biennial session of the Louisiana Legislature adjourned the anti-lying bill, known as the Jordan - Brown measure, was thrown into the dump-heap, as the legislators did not have the temerity to pass the only constructive piece of legislation introduced. The legislators were frightened by the nonsensical talk of Representative Evans of Madison, who cried out "Who would bring the victim of such an unmentionable crime of a brute into court to testify before a crowd of men?" A chorus of yeas to kill the bill responded from every part of the house. Representative Webb of Quachita Parish, when the bill was placed on passage, promptly made a motion to indefinitely postpone it, and then Evans made his lynching appeal. There was not a chance for the bill to pass after that; not even a chance for anyone to further attempt to defend it. Any attempt to do so would have given its enemies occasion to make a big name and become candidates for Congress Messrs. Evans and Webb both belong in the Fifth Congressional District. In 1910 the population of the fourteen parishes comprising the congressional district was 204,036, an average of 14,500 to the parish. In Madison Parish there are only about 600 white people and the rest are colored people. The parish usually casts about 160 votes all one way in presidential elections, and the whole Fifth District of fourteen parishes, a little more than 4,000 votes. Representation in the legislature is based on apportionment of population and not on apportionment of registered voters. Evans hails from a parish that has a large 1'agro population. DR BLYDEN'S WIDOW Mrs. Edward W. Blyden died on July 13 in Lincoln Hospital at the age of 83 years. She was the widow of the late Dr Edward W. Blyden, the noted African educator and for many years a diplomatic representative of the Republic of Liberia. She left Liberia in 1892 with her oldest daughter and joined her son, Edward W. Blyden, in New York, with whom she lived up to 1901. Then she left the United States for England and joined her husband, who was then Minister to the Court of St. James from the Liberian Republic. She was presented to Queen Victoria by her distinguished husband, and she held a medal from King Edward and the present Queen Mother Alexandra that was forwarded to her from Buckingham Palace when King Edward ascended the throne in 1902 as a token of respect. She returned to the United States after her reception by Queen Victoria and a brief visit to the Liberian Republic, and again lived with her son up to March, 1915. She became quite feeble and helpless after the death of her husband, which took place in the British Colony of Sierra-Leone, on the West African coast, on February 7, 1912. Her son, being unable further to provide the necessary comforts of life for her, through the kindness of Hon. William A. Dalton, admission was secured for her to the home department of Lincoln Hospital, where she died. She leaves, besides her son, three granddaughters and one great-granddaughter $40,000 ENDOWMENT FOR KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Special to The New York Ac Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Orangeburg, S.

People all over the state praise the administration of this order for the systematic way the business is handled. Grouped with Grand Chancellor T. H. Henry are a score of trained deputies, who have contributed to this wonderful growth and remarkable success. NEGRO BRITISH SUBJECTS IN THE BRITISH ARMY Major C. Brooman White, officer commanding, has emphasized the value of the colored soldiers in the British army by stating he has been authorized to enlist at once all colored British subjects for service in the British army, between the ages of 18 and 45 years. Applicants must speak and understand the English language, and are not prohibited by their religious rights from enlisting the ordinary British army raions. All applicants must fulfill the requirements of the medical examination. They will be accepted for any branch of the British army they chose to enlist in, going into the same units which white recruits are accepted and will receive the same rate of pay as the white recruits. The British Colonial Club, with headquarters at 453 Lenox avenue, an organization devoted to the unification of British Colonial subjects residing in the United States, has offered its services to Major White and has established a branch office at the British and Canadian Mission, 220 West 42d street. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU TO ALLOT UNSKILLED LABOR Special to TIN NEW YORK AGE The United States Employment Service has worked out a plan whereby unskilled labor will be checked up throughout the country and allotted according to community quotas.

Co-operation among Federal and State agents and the employers is being sought, to the end that labor requirements can be totalled and equitably distributed. Those residing in Harlem can apply at the United States Employment Service, 281 Lenox avenue.

Her first teaching was undertaken under the supervision of the first colored assistant principal, Miss Georgiana F. Putnam. Miss Lyous has taught all the grades in the elementary schools, having had charge of a graduating class for ten years. During the last twenty years she supervised the first three years of primary work, which included the training of public teachers and the oversight of those newly appointed to service The criticism by the examiner of Miss Lyons' first year's effort as assistant principal was to the effect that she had mastered the details of her work and secured the respect and confidence of her teachers. The principal under whom her labors terminated recently remarked that Miss Lyons was so intimately connected with the progress of the school that it seemed impossible to realize a time was nearing when she would be no longer officially associated with the work which she had aided so materially. The times through which Miss Lyons has lived have been exceptional in point of interest and importance. She mentions as her friends and models Josephine Silone Yates, Fanny Jackson Coppin, Frances E. W. Harper, Clorice E. Reason, Sarah J. Garnett, Helen Apps Cook and Dr. Susan McKinney Steward. A farewell teachers' party was given in Miss Lyone' honor when she attended school for the last time, and a gold wrist watch was presented to her as a token of affectionate regard in which she was held by associates. The paring word to her was: "Remember how very welcome you will always be when ever you come back home to Public School 83." Miss Lyons is the third daughter of the late Albro Lyons, formerly a well-known New Yorker. She was born in New York and pursued her studies under Prof. Charles L Reason. She was the first colorized graduate of the Providence Girls' High School, whose doors were opened to her by a special act of the Rhode Island Legislature. This school at the time was the highest institution of learning for women in Rhode Island. Miss Lyons' family moved to Providence after the draft riots in New York in July, 1863. At the same meeting of the Board of Education which mustered out Miss Lyons there was mustered into service as a teacher a member of her family, one of the third generation, a daughter of Mrs. Henry T. Mars, president of the Brooklyn Liberty Unit of the Red Cross. Mrs Katherine M. Lansing, another teacher, has already, gained a reputation for successful work as a teacher. What the women of her native state think of Miss Lyons as a race worker was beautifully demonstrated at the closing of the final session of the Empire State Federation. As Miss Lyons left the platform, having installed the new officers, the assembly gave her the Chautauqua salute and then rose en masse, uttering the benediction, "God bless you." STAUNTON, VA.

Another victory for our womanhood and the race in general A PATRIOTIC SERVICE. A signal service has been rendered the cause of the Negro and the country by the republication of a pamphlet entitled "The Loyalty and Devotion of Colored Americans in the Revolution and the War of 1812," which was first printed in Boston in 1861. The subject matter is a general review of the record of the race from the standpoint of patriotism, together with well authenticated instances of the bravery of black soldiers on the battlefield. The present edition is published by Young's Book Exchange of New York City, and a foreword has been added by the proprietor, Mr. George Young, in which he emphasizes the fact that the time has come when the educated Negro and friends of the race shall devote more time and money to the history of the race. In the collocation of facts presented in this pamphlet special attention is directed to the record of the Rhode Island Colored Regiment and many individual patriots of the race who served in the Revolutionary forces under Washington and others. Gen. Jackson's proclamation to the free colored inhabitants of Louisiana, calling upon them to enroll in the War of 1812 against Great Britain is printed in full together with references to the part played by colored troops in the battle of New Orleans. This little pamphlet of 24 pages is crammed with citations of heroic conduct on the field, reinforced by the testimony of eyewitnesses and quotations from the newspapers of that period. The publication is especially timely at this period as showing the firm foundation and deeprooted quality of the Negro's loyalty to America. It should be a stimulus to renew and quicken that loyalty in this critical period of the country's history. NEGRO SECRETS. An enthusiastic Sunday supplement book reviewer recently hailed Dr. F. K. Means of Louisiana as "The White Man Who Grasps Negro Secrets," because he has recently published a book of Negro stories. The author himself is more modest in his claims. He is quoted as follows: "The white man does not understand the Negro," says Dr. Means. "He is the great unexplored mystery, the unknown quantity. On the other hand, the Negro knows all about the white man—what is in his pockets and what is in his brains; what he is thinking about. We have often referred to the writings of H. L. Mencken. His English is a mental cocktail, an intellectual electric shock. Anybody who habitually dozes over conventional English ought to take Mencken at least once a week in order to keep the moss and cobwebs out of their brains. Mr. Mencken writes excellently on a wider range of subjects than any other one writer in the United States, and whatever his topic may be, he is always interesting. But he is at his best when he is talking about the theatre or literature or music or philosophy or feminism or criticism. On these subjects he is an authority. "The Negro goes into the white man's house, hears all, sees all, says nothing, thinks—no white man knows what he thinks. The white man rarely goes into a Negro church or home, does not know how he lives or what he talks about. "The Negro is changing. The Negro as Joel Chandler Harris knew him, with his folk lore and jungle tales, no longer exists; the Negro of the reconstruction days who was feared as a menace is no longer to be considered as such; the Negro, as we know him to-day, will not be in existence in a few years; the Negro is solving his own problem." The chief charm of Mencken is that he always has a fresh point of view on even the oldest subject. If the subject is one that does not admit of a fresh point of view, Mencken does not touch it, he considers it as already finished, exhausted; as a subject to be left in an embalmed state in the tomb of literature. It is into this very pit that Mencken always avoids that so many writers fall; they do not even know when a subject is exhausted. For that reason so many fledgling poets attempt to write odes to birds and flowers (skylarks, nightingales, daisies and roses), not realizing that Keats and Shelley and Burns and a host of others have done the job to a finish. Dr. Means further declares that the Negro to-day has acquired "a pride of race," but he shoots way beyond the mark when he asserts that "in the colored Methodist church no candidate will be considered for a vacant bishopric unless he be as black as the ace of spades." Anyone who has any knowledge at all of the order of the clergy of the various colored Methodist denominations, can realize how absurdly at variance with the facts the above statement is. Mencken's style is all his own; nobody in the country writes like him. Sometimes we know that he is laughing at his readers, and sometimes we suspect that he is laughing at himself. We might call him a humorous cynic; and when he is most cynical, he is most enjoyable. He is the cleverest writer in America to-day. But those who look merely for cleverness in Mencken are missing the best part of him; the best part of Mencken is truth. He gets at truth because he is devoid of the sentimental and mawkish morality which seems to be the curse of nearly everybody who writes in the English language. In other words, he is free and is therefore not afraid to write the truth. Many a writer is sincere enough, but bound by so many traditions and conventions that he cannot write the truth. Mencken pays no regard to traditions and conventions as such; he has absolutely no respect for them merely on account of their age. Judging from further extracts given by the reviewer, Dr. Means has acquired a vast fund of information about the Negro, which he dispenses with a vivid imagination and a facile pen. The only trouble with his information is that the larger part of it is not based on facts. As a writer of fiction concerning the Negro, Dr. Means is probably entitled to rank somewhere between Charles W. Chestnutt and Joel Chandler Harris, we should judge. But his stories of grape vine telephone, Negro prophecy and mind reading are not meant to be swallowed whole, as the Sunday supplement reviewer seems to have done. The other day we picked up an article headed, "Mr. Cabell of Virginia." The article was by H. L. Mencken. Of course we were at once interested in Mr. Cabell because Mr. Mencken was talking about him. The article was a critical estimate of Mr. Cabell's work as a novelist. We know very little about that work, never having read any of Mr. Cabell's books; but Mr. Mencken puts high value on him, and we have made up our mind to read at least one of those books at the first opportunity. The critic gives as one of the reasons why Cabell should be read the following: "he is the only indubitably literate man left in the late Confederate States of America." Then he goes on to say: Let the last consideration engage us first. What I mean to say is that Cabell is the only first-rate literary craftsman that the whole South can show. In all that vast region, with its 30,000,000 or 40,000,000 people and its territory as large as half a dozen Frances or Germans, he is the only author worth a damn—almost the only one who can write at all. The spectacle is so strange that I can't keep my eyes from it. Imagine an empire as huge as the Holy Roman, and with no more literature than Pottstown, Pa. or Summit, N. J.—not a poet, not a serious historian, not a critic good or bad, not a dramatist dead or alive, and but one novelist! As Dr. Means is a clergyman, we are sure that he did not intend to impose upon the credulity of innocent book reviewers, who accepted his book as gospel truth. A sign of the times was the widespread participation of the Negro as a race in the various patriotic demonstrations that marked the celebration of Independence Day this year. This was particularly marked in the smaller cities of New York State and Pennsylvania, as noted by the vigilant correspondents of The Age in those localities. Even so far South and in such a metropolis as New Orleans, representatives of the race were invited to join the exercises commemorative of the founding of the nation. This general recognition of the Negro as an integral part of the American people is peculiarly significant at this time. It indicates a popular recognition of the qualities of patriotism and true Americanism manifested by the race on the field of battle as well as in good citizenship. It should be the endeavor of every member of the race to extend and stimulate this recognition by maintaining the record so far made. Every one can contribute to the task of carrying on the war by the means presented in his or her particular vocation. Then Mr. Mencken takes up the question of the lack or rather the absence of literary men and women in the South, and says: The causes of this paucity I have hitherto discussed and guessed at. Perhaps the soundest theory is that which holds that the civil war destroyed the whole civilization of the region and well nigh exterminated the civilized southerner. The few who survived came North, leaving the soil to the Ethiop and the poor white trash. The latter now struggle for possession in the manner of dogs and cats, with the odds increasingly in favor of the black. Of the two, he alone shows any cultural advance; he begins to produce artists, and even sages. But the poor white trash, now politically dominant in all the southern states, produce only traders, schemers, politicians and reformers—in brief, bounders. There is an interesting question raised here. Why is it that the South produces no first-rate literature? As Mr. Mencken says, this whole wide region with "not a poet, not a serious historian, not a critic, good or bad, not a dramatist dead or alive." We think we can shed a little light on this question. Mr. Mencken thinks the condition may be due to the fact that "the Civil War destroyed the whole civilization of the region and well nigh exterminated the civilized Southerner." But why should not the poor white trash produce something? Is it possible that they can be so innately inferior to the Southern aristocracy? Were they any more handicapped than the "Ethiop," who, Mr. Mencken says "alone shows any cultural advance"? We do not think that the destruction of the old Southern civilization or any innate inferiority of the poor white trash is the reason; the real reason is that the white South of to-day is using up every bit of its mental energy in this terrible race struggle. All of the mental efforts of the white South run through one narrow channel; the life of every Southern white man as a man and a citizen, most of his financial activities and all of his political activities are impassably limited by the ever present "Negro problem." All of the mental power of the white South is being used up in holding the Negro back, and that is the reason why it does not produce either great literature or great statesmen or great wealth. That is, the white South is less intensely interested in forging ahead than it is in keeping the Negro from forging ahead. Witness, in Alabama there is The logical outcome of votes for women is reflected in the roll of the unofficial State conventions of the two great parties held at Saratoga Springs this month. The names of the newly enfranchised sex led all the rest as delegates. The colored women shared in this opening of the door of political opportunity and Dr. Gertrude Curtis McPherson and Miss Fannie Mason were equal representatives with, such veterans as Major R. Poole and Col. Charles W. Anderson. New York poli- ticians of both parties have accepted the inevitable with an alacrity and resignation that are truly touching. The women cannot complain of any lack of welcome into the political fold of either party. The Socialists had already accepted them on an equal footing, even to the extent of nominating them for office. The result would seem to be the equal distribution of the women's votes among all parties and the diffusion of their influence in all policies and platforms. The woman in politics has succeeded the scholar in politics and bids fair to wield a greater influence. opposition to a compulsory education law because under it Negro children would be compelled to go to school. On the other hand, the Negro is not using up any of his strength in trying to hold anybody back, he is using every ounce of it to move forward himself. His face is front and toward the light; when the white man tries to force him back he, the white man, turns from the light and faces backward. Unless the white people of the South right-about on this question, the Negro will in the long run distance them in all the higher and finer achievements. "WHAT JAPAN IS THINKING."

He begins his article by saying that it is in answer to the questions, "How do the Japanese feel toward the present war? Why are they not more inclined to help overcome Germany? Do they not understand that this is a struggle for freedom and democracy in the world?" In answer to these questions the writer assigns two main reasons for the attitude of Japan. He begins the first reason which he assigns for Japan's reluctance to take a more active part in the war with these words: First, racial discrimination against us on the part of all English-speaking nations, although our loyalty to the Allied cause is guaranteeing the safety of the vast Asiatic possessions of the Allies. It cannot be too strongly stated that it would be impossible to rouse Japan to fight for democratic principles that have no impartial application. He follows with a discussion of the Japanese exclusion acts. He begins his second reason with these words: A second great reason why we are not more deeply involved in the present struggle, is an economic one. Rightly or wrongly, we feel that Americans as well as Europeans are unwilling that Japan should have free access to the resources of the Far East and Eastern Siberia. Here he follows with a discussion of Japan's economic condition and the policies of other nations toward her. These may be the opinions of one man and not the Japanese people; but this one man is no ordinary Japanese; his is a well equipped mind, and what he says is worth reading and thinking about.

It was mentioned that this is not put their shoulder to the wheel, stand, the only complaint the cold time they have not been allowed The Red Cross rally at the Palace Casino in Harlem last week was one of the best attended meetings ever held in that large auditorium; and the audience was one of the best that ever gathered there, made up as it was of thoughtful and intelligent people. The striking feature of the audience was, of course, the colored nurses. There were perhaps a hundred of them in uniform, and they occupied the front seats. They are a fine body of young women and attracted a great deal of attention. They were undoubtedly a surprise to many colored people who did not know there were that many trained nurses of the race in the city. The program was a splendid one and was well carried out. Colonel Anderson presided suavely and displayed a good deal of his well known ability for eloquence in his introductory remarks and in presenting Mrs. August Belmont, the speaker of the evening. Mrs. Belmont gave an interesting and graphic account of her experiences in Red Cross work over there. Several musical numbers were also rendered. It was mentioned that this is no time for complaint; that all must put their shoulder to the wheel. So far as we are able to understand, the only complaint the colored nurses have is that up to this time they have not been allowed to put their shoulder to the wheel. To the Editor of The New York Age: Please permit me to say just a word about the value your paper is to me. I find it the best over published by our race. The news is condensed, clean and interesting. Every Negro family in America should take your paper for their own interest. ERNEST GILBERT. "HAMLET LEFT OUT." To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE Enclosed find one dollar, for which please send me THE AGE for six months. I have purchased it from a local dealer until his death in April, and since then I seem to be playing "Hamlet with Hamlet left out," for it alone brings me the medongs of the race along high and lofty lines. It tells me of the achievements of the Negro soldier, and I am anxious to miss nothing that smacks of the honor and prowess of our boys in the military service of Uncle Sam, both in this country and "over there." Do not let me miss this week's issue, for I fear lest I should miss some heroic act of the black soldier or achievement of some civilian of the race that reflects credit on us all. Titos A. KNIGHT COURT ACTS IN MASONIC CON- TROVERBY. To the Editor of The New York Age: In 1912, Jordan Loftwich, Louis L. Paultry, James N. Brown, J. Dickerson and other suspended and expelled masones united and designated themselves as the Hiram Grand Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Inc. State of New York. Before the Masonic Congress held at Boston, Mass., in July, 1912, Jordan Loftwich, who attained himself Grand Master, and his associates applied for recognition as a legal Masonic body, but their petition was rejected by the congress on the ground that there existed in the State of New York a regular and legal Grand Lodge known as Hiram Grand Lodge A. P. A. M. Inc., State of New York. Subsequent to the session of the Masonic Congress, Jordan Loftwich and his associates entered court proceedings to enjoin Adolphus P. Thornton and his associates from using the name of Hiram Grand Lodge, and working as a masonic body in this State. The case was dismissed by default on part of the plaintiff. Adolphus P.

Weeks on the nineteenth day of March, 1915, enjoining Jorden Leftwich and his associates from using the name of Hiram Grand Lodge, A. F. A. M., Inc. State of New York and from working as a Masonic organization in this jurisdiction. I wish also to inform the public against one J. B Thornton who is sometimes called or known as Bishop Thornton, and styles himself as a legitimate Mason. He has my name, "Thornton." On the twenty-first day of June, 1918, a committee from Hiram and King Cyrus Grand Lodges A. F. A. M. met and adopted terms and conditions which formed the basis for the union of the grand lodges. On July 13, the two met in joint session and after careful deliberation, agreeably signed the previous agreements and recommended a special session to be called by the Grand Master for the ratification of the newly-united bodies under the name of Hiram Grand Lodge, Inc., and to transact such business as may be necessary for the good of the oraft and the subordinate bodies of the rite in the Masonic juridiction. ADOLPHUS P. THORNTON: MISS SPRAGUE TAUGHT IN ROCHESTER To the Editor of The New York Ago: Relative to an article in your paper last week to the effect that Miss Van Buren is the first colored girl to be appointed a teacher in the Rochester schools, I think you have been misinformed in the matter. Miss Florence Sprague was the first colored graduate here from the Free Academy and taught for some time at No. 24 School after her graduation, resigning as teacher to become stenographer for Judge Arthur E. Sutherland and later to the late Booker T. Washington. She is now the wife of Dr. Wm. A. Fields, of Calro, Ill. Miss Nellie Cornell was principal of the school at that time, and is now only recently completing her fifth year as a teacher in Rochster. While not wishing to detract in the least from Miss Van Buren's honors, I feel that in justice to both ladies the public should be acquainted with the correct information. BRNEET A. SPRAGUE. --- Isaac Goldgraben keeps in Hartman's restaurant where colored persons are served with meals. Arthur Cohn, who is described in a legal paper hereinafter referred to as "a Hebrew white person," went into Goldgraben's restaurant with a colored named Williams for the purpose of getting a meal. The head waiter refused to serve Cohn and Williams on the ground that it was "against the rules of the house to serve a mixed party." Cohn brought in and against Goldgraben in the Second District Municipal Court, where the complaint was dismissed after a trial before a jury. The plaintiff took the case to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, and that bench has just upheld the judgment, of the lower court. The majority opinion is written by Mr. Justice Whitaker, who says that "there was no refusal to serve because of color or race": "The plaintiff was white and his companion was colored. They were both refused service, so it could have been on account of color. The rule that mixed parties should not be served applied to white as well as colored. There was no discrimination as to one color in favor of another. "The record plainly indicates that both parties would have been served at separate tables and that plaintiff knew this and refused service at a separate table. How can it be and then that he was refused service at account of his color. It appears that the original complaint alleged that the plaintiff "was a descendant of the Jewish or Hebraic race and that refreshment was refused, because of his race. This latter allegation was abandoned at the trial and the case was decided on the matter of color only. The decision of the appellate court was not unanimous, for Mr. Justice Bjur dissented as follows: 'The uncontricted evidence in this case is to the effect that plaintiff a white man, as the guest of William, a colored man, went to defend's restaurant to be served at the time they entered all the guests and waiters in defend's restaurant were colored. As plaintiff and William seated themselves the waiter said to them: 'Gentlemen, I sorry I cannot serve you. It is asking the rules of the house to serve a mixed party.' Williams testified. They said: * * * they can serve a colored and white person together.' Whereupon plaintiff and Williams, after some discussion, in the premises. "The Civil Rights law, as amended by Chapter 265 of the Laws of Litt. Section 40, provides that no owner of a restaurant 'shall directly or indirectly refuse, withhold from or deny any person any of the accommodations advantages or privileges thereof on account of race, creed or color. It seems to me to be clear that plaintiff was, on the occasion in question denied the privileges of defended restaurant because he was white. To defend virtually said to plaintiff you were colored and came here Williams you would be served, but white, we will not serve you." In law naturally does not undertake a define or even to indicate which if race or color may be regarded as superior. Its sole and manifest purposes to prevent discrimination on the account." It would seem to the layman that Justice Bijur's point is well taken that Mr. Cohn should not have denied the accommodation, advantage privilege of sitting at the same table with Mr. Williams.

WOMEN BOOST REPUBLICAN VOTE IN N. Y. The tabulation of the special enrollment of women just completed by Superintendent of Elections Marshall shows that the two great parties in the State have a total membership, men and women of 2,006,909, of which 1,119,428 are Republicans and 897,481 are Democrats. The total women enrolled, 375,595 are Democrats and 247,485 are Democrats. Of the total 622,570 women enrolled, 375,595 are Democrats.

In the Republican party, women constitute a trifle more than one-third of the membership and in the Democratic party a shade less than two-sevenths. Outside of New York city the enrollment of women strongly favored the Democratic party. In the State at large it served to increase the party's lead over the Democrats by 127,600. WILL TRAIN A MILLION WOMEN FOR WAR JOY WASHINGTON, D. C.—One of the largest and most ambitious schemes undertaken by a colored woman is that of Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women. She wants to train a million colored women to replace the men withdrawn from the various industries for war work. She is planning to begin the training in August, when 200 women will begin the education, to be followed by other 200, until a million are properly trained. Ten weeks have been fixed upon as the training period necessary to carry out the plan she pledged. In a statement of the proposed work, Miss Burroughs said: There is not in all America any provision for the training of colored women for war emergency work. Special courses are being offered other women. We must not lose sight of the fact that the colored woman is a most important resource in India, fresh from the kitchen to the castle—from desk to ditch. She handles the food for 10,000,000 of her own race, as well as millions of tons for other Americans. The country needs her intelligent co-operation in its food conservation work and other war activities. America needs every woman, black and white, to help win this war. America needs training colored women as it is to provide for the training of other women to release men for service overseas. VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE COMMENDS WOMEN Richmond, Va.-At Mill Farm, Peek's Turnout, Va., the Industrial Home School for Colored Girls stands as a moment to the vision, sacrifices and devotion of the colored women of Virgina. This school was founded by Colored Women's Clubs and fills a long-felt need in the community. Mrs. Henry Lane Schmelz is president of the school and Mrs. Jane Porter Barrett is secretary and superintendent. The Board, composed of white and colored members, works in harmonious co-operation. This has been so effective and far-reaching that following resolution was agreed to by the Board and Service of the Virginia General Assembly at this year's session: Whereas, it has come to the knowledge of the General Assembly that most valuable and important services have been rendered by the colored women of the State of Virginia, known and organized as the "Virginia State Federal Colored Women's Clubs," and Whereas, this organization originated, raised funds, and established an institution to the reform of wayward colored girls of the establishment of the Industrial Home School Hanover County, Virginia, which has met with signal success and performed services of reform and conservation at this vital time, when all the services of all the people are so solely needed. Therefore be it resolved, by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurre that the services and sacrifices on the part of these citizens be recognized, and that this resolution expresses our appreciation for this work looking to the betterment of the morals of the State of Virginia.

Another proposition was brought up about the manages representing the colored vaudevil- lian down town. : Iam glad to learn that the per- formers did not fall for everything they heard. For instance, it is said the manager touchingly told of the great service he had rendered the ‘colored people of Harlem—of how he had turned down flattering of- fers with white theaters in order to remain with the colored people. _ There is much that I could say relative to white men of mediocre ability, if any, trying to pose as a “Moses” among colored perform: ers, but I shall discuss the subject at length at another time. Per- - eal experience has taught me that colored men can best represent themselves and that colored men of standing in the theatrical profes- sion can get interviews with such men as Marc Klaw, E. F. Albee, C. B. Dillingham and F. Ray Com- stock when some white men who inake their’ living off Negroes and aspire to lead Negroes cannot get past the office boy. But back to the Lafayette The- ater conference. The offer to or- ganize and represent the colored vaudevillian was flatly turned down. but an understanding was reached |as to future Sunday bookings. 7 ROM all accounts the colored tative col “4 vaudevillian has been moved | the manay “eis\waging a heated campaign in Hiarlem wn behalf of the colored “theatrical profession. There cer- s tainly is much room for improve- iment in this section of Manhattan Siwhere not one theater is conducted stander colored management; but in “ogder to bring about a radical ‘change for the better the colored “performer should not overlook this ‘one important point: He can only “succeed by enlisting the hearty co- {operation of the public. \ ‘The trouble in Harlem to-day is ithat the public is literally fast “asleep over the strange and unusual ‘eonditions that exist in a section peopled by nearly 70,000 Negroes. If the colored vaudevillian can wake up the public there is hope of better -times ahead. If the theatergoer ‘continues to sing: “Please Go "Way andLet Me Sleep,” prospects of the vaudevillian winning his fight are as thin as a wafer. * ‘The: colored theatrical folk in ‘Hariem do not get their just de- “‘serts. This no one can deny. But . ‘public sentiment is usually the de- termining factor as to “who's who” ‘and “what's what.” So it behooves those engaged in a fight for just “recognition to cease hurling verbal ‘bombs and concentrate so that they ‘may crystallize a healthy public sen- timent in their favor. Members of the colored theatrical profession are all “het up” and.cla- ‘<mroring for certain concessions. Yet it does not necessarily follow that they will accomplish their purpose - simply because they are in a war- Tike mood and making a lot of noise. Battles, whether in civil life or on the battlefield. are won through strategy. This is true ‘despite the idea of some that effective results “ are attained by assuming a belliger- ent attitude and then’ indulging in talk-talk-talk. According to Dame Rumor col- ored vautevillians temporarily re- ceived a setback in their setto with the management of the Lincoln Theater a few days ago because the methods adopted were not cal- éulated to produce satisfactory re- sults. The story goes that after opeiily condemning the owner of the theater for not according them the proper consideration a commit- tee ‘was appointed to call and ar- range for a meeting of vaudevillians and the owner in question, How- eyer, the latter appeared more belli- cose than the visitors and told them “Go see my attorney.” ‘The principal charges against the Lincoln management are: That al- though the house caters exclusively to colored patrons the bills in re- cent months have been made up largely of white acts; that the house help, with the exception of ushers, is white—even to cashier and ticket taker. ‘Evidently the proprietor of the Lincoln Theater has assumed the position that she docs not intend tc be bulldozed into doing something that had not met with the approva of her patrons Tf the colored peo iple who support her theater de “mand the employment of colores house help it is most likely that w “will, see a house staff composed o Negroes—from) manager down * ‘The booking of colored acts als would be put on a basis more satis factory to the colored performer It has come to my attention tha one evening last week about fift anhaneih cnicdcctthe: nantes as BERT WILLIAMS A HIT IN MIDNIGHT FROLIC Bert Williams was accorded an en- thusiastic welcome when he appeared before a large and representative audi- ence on the New Amsterdam Roof Monday <ught—or to be more exact— Tuesday mormng After lus last num- ber he was applauded to the echo fo nearly five minttes. In fact, he stopped the show, for there were three more act: to follow and st was past 1 o'clock. The renowned comedian did not go on until 1 o'elock. In the Ziegfeld Midmght Frohe Bert Williams is using new material in every particular—new songs. new jokes and new dances, and everything went over big. Monday evening Mr Willams re- ceived many messages from well-wish- ers. Some sending telegrams were Will Rogers, Harry Kelly, Bill Fields, CH Johnson, Frank Carter, Lester A. Wal- ‘ton, Eddie Canter, us Minton and Getic Barnett. The majority sending a word of cheer are members of Zieg- feld’s Follies from which the comedian fesigned because of lack of material some weeks ago. The New York Eyenimg Journal in referring to Bert Willams’ appearance in the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic said “When Bert Williams, one of Amer- ica’s foremost comedians, made his ini- tial bow before the audience of the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic, on the New Amsterdam Theatre Roof, last night, he received, as wae to be expected, @ hearty reception--almost_ an ovation His engagement on the Ziegfeld Roof sets at rest forever the many rumors that had been current of a disagree: ment between manager and. star, ru- mors that, however, had previously been denied in the Urengest’ language by both Mr Ziegfeld and Reet Will- rams. “Never was this dusky comedian re- vealed to better advantage than last night, when im splowhd fashion he unfolded fis quamt ienelegne an his dry. droll fashion, ated gave us some songs, which made an instantaneaus Int with the capacity audience, earning hun a storm of applause which sounded like a berage and deisnier i one ™ “HIS LAST DOLLAR.” “Ths Last Dollar 6 thothne racmg play. will he presented tthe Lafavette Theatre next week, Lhe ore imvales toe Braxton, test a Witte wewste af the slums, who goes Sov hans to handle jes eerste ge ian strats West, for veare ty cuwhen ane vesting his earnings a. ste lands and finally mines until he a muthenaire Coming Fast the self marie man deter: mines to enjoy a life of case ard forget the hardships of his vent sul un- married, he becdmes the atch af the season and is eventually emtrinped inte an engagement with Freda sorasson, a rveung beauty whose mereenars mother urges her inte the affair weh Hrartan, who adaures. but dees not love [tala van love with Tom Tinson. a friend of Rrartan’s who is by po maans the hig- couled, open-hearted man that Araxton " Linson “is a sthemer who has planned to ruin Braxton and enrich him. self with his friend’s fortune.

Meanwhile old Colonel Downs, losing money and health, sends Eleanor East to run their horse, Mongrel in the great Futurity race. Eleanor and Braxton meet and in that meeting Braxton learns the differ- ence between trae love and false, while Eleanor, too. loses her heart. She dis- covers the plot to ruin Braxton, and Tearns that | iva is false to him. Though Linsow threatens to ruin her repatation with the story of their proposed elope- ment, she does reveal the truth to Braxton, who believes Eleanor, defies Viola and Linson, and rushes ‘to the Stock Exchange to fight for his tottering fortune. The Exchance closes in time to save him from being wiped ont, and he knows that the aftemoon’s Futurity race will make or break him, for he has placed all he did not put into the Wall Street venture on Lleanor's horse, 3fon- grel, which is t@ run against Pompa- dour, the favorite, Linson's horse. The great race itself, the, rascally tricks of Linson, the dramatic hand to hand fight between the rival jockeys, their magnifi- cent riding, the attempted fouling of Wongrel and the splendid triumph of Broxton and Eleanor over their enemies, is vividly shown.

The theme of the morning sermon was "Fortune Telling and Belief in Fortune Telling: Dishonor God and His Son, Jesus Christ." The pastor discussed the false philosophy of fortune telling and how the soothsayers of the present day dupe the people who confide in their black arts. The preacher quoted scripture to prove that Christianity condemns both the fortune tellers and likewise those who put forth soothsayers instead of Jesus of Nazareth. The preacher interpt the mysterious side of human life. The largest number of children in the history of St. James attended the picnic and outing at Pelham Bay Park on last Friday. The brotherhood is assisting some needy families each week during the year.

CHURCH On Sunday, many services were attended by unusually large congregations. Dr. W. H. Brooks preached at the morning service from St. John, 16; theme, "The Mystery of Love." The whole sermon was a dissertation upon God's love for the world. During his discourse, Dr. Brooks made repeated references to his text: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoseoverbelieved in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Doctor emphatically declared that the mightiest power today is the power of love; that no law is higher than the law of love. Continuing, he admonished his hearers that the world must be governed either by love or by physical force. Great emphasis was laid upon the fact that physical force has no power over mind and intellect; but, that love is the only power which can completely conquer man, inasmuch as the law of love binds God to the world and the world to God. In the evening the sacrament was administered to four hundred and sixty four communicans. Twenty-three probationers received the right hand of fellowship and were admitted into full membership of the church. During the day three persons joined the church.
