ASSIGN COLORE BASE HOSPITALS War Department Authorizes State- ment on Subject MORE ENROLLMENTS General Pershing Has Been Asked If Colored Nurses Can be Utilized to Advantage in France—Public Greatly Pleased With New Attitude of War Department and the Red Cross—The Age Commended for Its Work in Helping Nurses Win Fight. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—The War Department authorizes the following statement from Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War: "Orders were issued Monday by the War Department to the office MISS FRANCE R. ELLIOTT of the Surgeon General, which will enable colored nurses who have been registered by the American Red Cross Society to render service for their own race in the army. Colored nurses will be assigned to the base hospitals now established at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kansas; Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois; Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa; Camp Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky, Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, and Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J. At these camps a total of about 38,000 colored troops are stationed. "General Pershing has been asked by cable whether the services of colored nurses can be utilized to advantage among the American expeditionary forces." Mrs. Valah B. Thoms, assistant superintendent of Lincoln Hospital, this week received a communication from Miss Florence Johnson of the New York Chapter of the Red Cross, advising her to send the names of twenty nurses to the hospital for immediate service. A meeting of local nurses was held Monday evening and the call for two five nurses discussed. A campaign has been inaugurated to get all colored registered nurses in and out of New York to enroll in the Red Cross and qualify in every way for acceptance. Exclusive announcement in last week's issue of THE Age that the colored nurses had won their fight for recognition in the American Red Cross time as an agreeable surprise to members of the race throughout the country. On every hand expressions of satisfaction over the new attitude of the War Department and the Red Cross were heard. Among the additional colored nurses enrolled by the Red Cross are: Miss Anna G. Papino, nurse at the Lincoln Hospital, New York. Miss Mary Irwin, assistant superintendent at the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, D. C. Miss Eiffie Steid, a nurse at the Lincoln Hospital, New York. Miss Edith Blair, a nurse at the Lincoln Hospital, New York. The New MISS ANNA G. PAPINO commending THE AGE on the important part it has played in securing fair play for colored registered nurses was a letter from Mrs. Adah B. Thomas, assistant superintendent of Lincoln Hospital and president of the National Association of Graduate Nurses. The letter in part follows: I feel that we cannot thank THE Age enough for the splendid support it has given us through our entire struggle for recognition by the Red Cross. We are quite sure that the publicity given the matter through THE Age and the uniting efforts made in our behalf by yourself have hastened our acceptance. Miss Frances R. Elliott, the first colored nurse to be enrolled by the American Red Cross, is a graduate of Knoxville College and Freedmen's Hospital Training School for Nurses. She took post-graduate work in nursing and public health at Columbia University. Miss Elliott was appointed a nurse of the Bureau of Public Health Staff at Jackson, Tennessee, by the American Red Cross, resigning to accept the position of head nurse at the Tuskegee Institute Hospital. Next Miss Elliott was appointed by the United States Public Health Service Unit No. 16, public health nurse at Chattanooga, Tenn., and was later seet back to Jackson, Tenn., by the Red Cross. It was while in Jackson that she received her enrollment card a few weeks ago. Miss Elliott is proud of the fact that a graduate of the Freedmen's Hospital Training School was the first to win recognition from the Red Cross. Miss Anna G. Papno, the first Lincoln Hospital nurse to receive enrollment for active service in the American Red Cross, is a graduate of Ossining High School. She was graduated from Lincoln Hospital Training School in 1909. Miss Papino was head nurse at the Daytona Normal School. Daytona, Fla., and has been asked by the president, Mrs. Bethune; to return. However, owing to enrollment, Miss Papino will remain at Lincoln, where for five years she has been head of the Home Department, where nurses receive their preliminary nurse training, until the Red Cross assigns her to duty.

EUROPE WRITES WILL P FROM EUROPE ALL FRO Well-known Lieutenant Detached from Band and Now with Machine Gun Company SOME OF OLD 15TH ARE DEAD'LAUDS Lieutenant James Reese Europe Tells of Johnson and Roberts' Fight With Boches and Says the French, Cannot be Taught Race Prejudice. Lieut. James Reese Europe of the old 15th, now the 369th, who has been detached from the band and is now assigned to a machine gun company, has written an interesting letter to Fred R. Moore, editor of THE AGE, in which the writer states that the niebers of the 369th have acquitted themselves nobly. The deeds of valor performed by Private Henry Johnson and Private Needham Roberts are graphically described by Lieut. Europe, who also has nothing but kind words and the highest praise for the French. "Despite their contact and despite efforts of some people, the French simply cannot be taught to comprehend: that despicable thing—race prejudice," he declares. Lieut. Europe's letter follows: Hon. Fred R. Moore, Editor of The New York Age, New York City. My Dear Governor: Yesterday I read with avid interest the columns of your wonderful paper, and you cannot imagine the joy it gave me to note first-hand the doings of my people over there. We over here are "at it" as, of course, you well know, and our boys have acquitted themselves nobly. They are a brave lot, courageous and valiant. I suppose you've heard of the deeds and prowess of two of our chaps—Privates Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts. Some nights ago these two lads, the guardians of a petit poste, were surprised by an attack from an overwhelming number of Germans. The object of the Germans was evidently to make prisoners, so as to ascertain the strength, caliber and units opposite them. However, our boys would have none of the prisoner idea, and began to fight like wildcats, with their backs to the wall. They let the Boches have all their stacks of grenades and what not, emptying revolvers and rifles (Continued on second page.)

J.-Friday, July 19, more than 50 drafted men left for Camp Dix and in the send-off given them Jersey City rose to the heights of true Americanism. The drafted men were accorded a great demonstration. The City Hall was decorated with the national colors, a stand was erected and addresses made by Commissioners O'Brien and Moore, the Rev. Florence Randolph, the Revs. W. A. Byrd and W. S. Smith. Two bands accompanied the great procession which was headed by the commissioners and pastors of colored churches went with the men to the station to see them start on the first lap of the journey "over there." Chief Executive of the State of Kentucky Talks to Colored Methodists and Moved His Hearers to Covenant—Discusses "Patriotism and Christianity." Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEMY FRANKFORT, KY—Governor Stanley was widely cheered by a very large colored audience at the Colored Methodist Church in this city when he told his hearers that every man in this State, black or white, would have the equal protection of the law while he was governor. He addressed the assembly of colored Methodist presidents and workers who were in conference here. Representative Thomas Spurrier of Grayson County, ordered the platform with Governor Shanker, and made a speech following the governor's address. The fact that Representative Spurrier introduced the bill to amend the constitution, providing for the removal of officers who permit abuse to lynch prisoners in his custody, had made him very hospitable with the colored citizens. In the course of his remarks Governor Stanley said there were two places on this earth where all men were equal. They were before the altar in a church and in the court house. He declared that as long as he was governor that he would use his power to insist upon the equality of all men in the court house. Patriotism and Christianity, the governor said, were practically one and the same in their last analysis. He used frequent quotations from the Scripture to illustrate this principle. The parable of the "Good Samaritan" he recited to convince his hearers that the great commandments, the love of God and the love of neighbor, as a man loves himself, are commandments not only upon which the structure of Christianity is founded, but also upon which the structure of patriotism is laid. The governor told his hearers of the bravery of the Negro troops in France "There have been some good Negroes in this country," said Governor Stanley, "and there have been some bad Negroes in this country, but, thank God, there has never been a Negro so bad as to betray the Stars and Stripes," and as he made this remark he pointed to the American flag that hung over the pulpit. This remark aroused the greatest enthusiasm. Out of the 47,718 in Class One, 20,130 have been sent to camp and 27,588 remain. There are 541 more colored men in camps from Louisiana than white men, although there are 22,106 more white men than colored men registered. There are 42,486 whites in Class Four and 22,657 Negroes in Class 4. DINING CAR WAITER Special to THE NEW YORK ACK SYRACUSE, N. Y.-Samuel Isley, a dining car waiter, fell beneath the wheels of an eastbound train in the New York Central railroad train-shed early Friday morning of last week and his right leg was so badly crushed that it was necessary to amputate it half way between knee and ankle. The surgery was done at St. Joseph's Hospital, Isley, lives on 140th street. New York. He was on his way to the station to join his car when a westbound train came along. He caught the handles of a vestibule car, but because the doors were locked was unable to get inside, and rode into the station clinging to the outside. The outgoing train sidewiped him, knocking him to the ground. MOTONSPEAKS ON WAR ISSUES TO THE FARMERS Special to The New York Age TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, United States Department of Labor; W. T. B. William, field representative of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, and about thirty officers and teachers of Tuskegee Institute, visited four rural communities in Macon County Sunday, July 14, where Dr. Moton delivered addresses to colored and white people who gathered. The four communities visited were Warrior Stand, Hannon, Magnolia and Macedonia. In all of his addresses Dr. Moton urged the many farmers to plant and to save, to buy Thrift Stamps, Baby Bonds, and to help the government in every way to meet the present crisis Concerning patriotism and loyalty, he said: "Do not permit yourselves to be fooled by a certain sort of insidious propaganda which I understand is going the rounds among the colored people to the effect that Negro soldiers in France are being put up at the front and shot down, while the white soldiers are being saved. Such is not true, for I was in Washington recently and had the pleasure of seeing a cablegrain from General Pershing, in which he stated that not more than one dozen colored soldiers had been killed in action, although a number of them have distingished themselves for acts of bravery and courage. "The colored soldiers in France and in America are receiving a square deal and every opportunity is being given them to fight for their country in the same way and under the same conditions that the white soldiers are fighting. Keep in mind, also, that America is our country, and let me tell you this, which I do not want you to forget, and that is that more Negroes are making more progress along more lines in America than are the Negroes in any other country in the world." "In the civil war there were less than three colored commissioned officers in the United States army, and today there are more than 1,300 of these commissioned officers, which to my mind is strong evidence that here in America we have greater opportunity for developing than in any other country. There are also 150,000 colored soldiers wearing the uniform of this country and more are being inducted into the services every day. "Let me then advise you, as a friend, that we as members of the Negro race and as American citizens who have always been faithful in every emergency, to continue to prove your loyalty and faith in our Government by raising food, by working all day on Saturday and by saving that which we have raised. Let us save and help in every way so that when the war is over it can be said that there was no group in America more loyal and more patriotic than were the black Americans."

Americans, including BLACK AMERICANS, and Englishmen and Italians, fought between the French. After two heavy days of fighting the attacking strength of our troops again made itself fully felt.

Sims, pastor of Union Baptist Church, is a great believer in the efficacy of prayer. At the Metropolitan Baptist Church Sunday, Dr. Sims told both through prayer, he had been able to get to New York from Richmond, Va., in time to preach to the Harlem congregation, although it was necessary for him to ride in a coach from Richmond to Washington, accompanied only by the porter.

Brown that he would preach July 21 at the Metropolitan Church, but for a time INVEST FOR PROFIT. If you wish to invest for profits you will do well to consider the possibilities of what can be made from a few dollars invested in the better class of oil stocks. Ask me about your oil investment. My information is free and is given after careful investigation. I do not hesitate to discourage investment in stocks which I consider questionable or know to be worthless. I respectfully solicit the opportunity to handle your orders and recommend a few stocks which I believe should be bought immediately for large and quick profits. WILLIAM E. ROYSTER, STOCK BROKER, 305 N. 18th St. Biltings, Mont Saturday evening it looked as if the appointment would not be kept. When Dr. Sims reached Richmond from Cumberland, he found that no passenger train would be leaving in time for him to make the proper connections over the Pennsylvania at Washington. The stationmaster informed him that the next train to leave for Washington was a freighter, at 10 30. Dr. Sims made the proposition to the railroad officials that he be put in a box labeled "live stock" and carried as freight to Washington. While engaged in a lengthy conversation on the subject, a decision was reached to put on a coach. From Richmond o Washington: no one rode in the coach but Dr. Sims and the porter, and he was able to get a car out of Washington early Sunday morning so as to be in Harlem for the Midclock service. Dr. Sims says while talking with the railroad officials at Richmond he was praying that it be made possible for him to get out of Richmond.

Europe Writes From Europe (Continued from first page.) quicker than the Huns ever dreamed possible The Hun leader called out in perfect English, "Hello, Hello, surrender boys, or be killed" He himself was killed and que of his men. Three others were mortally wounded, Johnson doing all the work alone with his Bolo ta great knife), Roberts being put out of commission at the first assault of the Germans with a shattered arm, possibly from grenades, and two other wounds, one in the hip, the other in his leg. Johnson, though wounded several times in the leg, went to the assistance of his comrade when the Huns tried to carry off the prostrate Roberts. Roberts, though hors de combat, added Johnson to throwing grenades with his good arm. Both have been decorated by the French for gallantry in action with the cross de Guerre (war cross) and Johnson was given the highest award of the French army, an army citation—the Cross de Guerre with a palm. The Bochies must feel that Johnson and Roberts were some boys and if they can get any encouragement out of the fact that we have three thousand more just like them they are welcome to it. Everybody over here as "our boys toes," the boys are enthusiastic and ever reads. The way they have adapted themselves to the conditions and customs is true interesting, and these great people the French—are models for other mankind for their standards. Their broad amunts are far and free from prejudice, and son, as a great champion of our people, I am sure will be glad to know that despite their contact, despite the desperate efforts of some people, the French simply cannot be taught to comprehend that despicable thing called prejudice. It is glorious to see the French regiments intermingled with black boys, and I wish to state here of all the black French troops I have seen over here. I have never seen one without some sort of decoration and I have met thousands. It is interesting and gratifying to see these little black and white French brothers strolling together, playing together, dancing together, packed together, singing together as friends and brassers fighting side by side for one common cause, as democracy should be. More glorius to the French Viva la France should be the song of every black American over here and over there. This is a beautiful country Oh, how we love at it The fields now are all in bloom and the slopes are dotted here and there with the little quaint villages and the innervable cemeteries, each grave of which is well kept and decorated with a croix de bong (cross of wood) and strewn with artificial flowers. Tis an odd sight. Then, always in readiness, are newly-dug graving graves for the next unfortunate Sorry to say some of our own boys sleep beneath these Croix de Bois. If you could see what once must have been beautiful towns and the vast amount of devastation and destruction by the brutal Boches, then you feel that this war cannot end soon. But what's the use of me trying to describe it at all. It would take the genius of a Paul Laurence Dumbar to do that Colonel William Hayward is the amable, efficient soldier and is always working for the interest of our boys. THE Ace is almost fought over when one is fortunate enough to receive one, and it is passed up and down the regiment until it is read by all. If some generous benefactor would send us about two for each company it would be a God-end, and, I am positive, better appreciated than cigarettes, for it is possible to get THEM over here. The progress of the Clerk Club is inspiring. Dracon Johnson, kindly keeps me advised of its every move. Every member of the club should rush to build a monument to this wonderful organization by subscribing to the building fund. I will soon do so. Say to Lester that soon I will write, but for the moment I have nothing new "musically dramatic" or "musically nonsensical" to offer. I have been detached from the band and assigned to a machine gun company Strange, ch "Mais c'est La Guerre" (But it is war) Remember me kindly to the dramatic editor and friend, Lester A Walton, and my good friend James Weldon Johnson, and the rest of your illustrious family. May your march ever be upward and onward Yours very truly, JAMES RESEE EUROPE.

No one will dispute the pre-eminence of this issue and every element of our cosmopolitan population should exert every endeavor to that end. No class of American citizens have realized this fact more keenly than the Negroes in the United States. When volunteers were called for they were among the first to offer to enlist in all sections of the country. When the selective draft was inaugurated they accepted the summons with unruffled equanimity. They have bought Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps with cheerfulness and alacrity. The women of the race have offered their services as nurses with a persistency that has finally won tardy acceptance. They have given their time and labor to Red Cross work and other forms of war relief and have aided in the conservation of food and co-operated in other war activities. This is all right and proper. The Negro is an integral part of the American people and whatever danger threatens the nation, threatens him in equal measure. While the Negro is thus doing his duty toward the nation, the nation through its government should be equally scrupulous in discharging its duty toward the race. Equally essential with the task of winning the war for humanity and democracy abroad is the duty of maintaining law and order at home. That the government has failed in this particular as far as the Negro is concerned is set forth with striking force in the report made by the Congressional Committee that investigated the East St. Louis riots. This is no biassed, partisan document intended to serve partisan interests, but the result of an official investigation by a legislative department of the government into the killing of innocent citizens by the mob, aided and abetted by the civil and military forces of the State of Illinois. Now, that the facts have been officially determined in this matter, what is America going to do about it? Shall justice prevail in the punishment of the guilty and the provision of safeguards against a repetition of such outrages in the future? We trust so. The maintenance of law and order at home is essential to winning the war abroad. A PANDER TO PREJUDICE When the Postmaster General was recently accused of discriminating against the circulation through the mail of the Metropolitan Magazine, our sympathy was enlisted in behalf of the publishers, because the charge was made by an ex-President of the United States, whose voice is usually enlisted in a worthy cause. But a reading of the August Fiction Number inclines us to believe that the exclusion of that issue from the mails would have been justified on the ground of common decency, to say nothing of seditious matter tending to provoke race hatred and dissension. When the local authorities of both Northern and Southern cities unite in prohibiting the performance of Thomas Dixon's play, "The Birth of a Nation," as provocative of race friction, it is absurdly inconsistent that such a story as "Mademoiselle Lamotte of the Mantles" should be suffered to be printed in a supposedly decent and innocuous family magazine. The story is based on the old theme of Voudooism in Haiti, which finds its devotee in a girl supposed to be French, culminating in the killing of one of her fellow employees as a sacrifice to the mysterious rites of "Voudxoux," as the writer calls it. The story is bad enough in its choice of subject, but it is told by one F. Tennyson Jesse with a crude realism that suggests the Police Gazette style of twenty years ago. The characters are invested with a repulsive animalism, white and black alike. For sheer brutality of language and conception this writer suggests Zola in his early stages. The wonder is that a decent magazine would print such a story. It is neither artistic nor instructive. As an example of horrors it might serve a purpose, not elevated at that. As an insult to a friendly nation, like Haiti, it will serve to create and increase friction. For the Haitian government has consistently waged war against Voudoism, and effectively stamped it out. The last authentic case occurred some decades ago and the offenders were tried and punished. But the real animus of the article is to incite race hatred against the Negro. The animal-like heroine, with her scent for crime, and her white Southern lover indulge in vulgar animadversions against Negroes that are intended to incite prejudice. The publication that spreads such poison abroad is a pander to prejudice. AMERICA AS PROTECTOR. A recent volume on Santo Domingo reveals the United States in a new role, that of the avowed protector of an independent state, by military occupation and administration. True, it was proclaimed, as the author Otto Schoenrich fully sets forth. "that the object of the occupation was not to destroy Dominican sovereignty but to restore order; that Dominican laws were to continue in effect, so far as they did not conflict with the objects of the occupation or the decrees of the military Government; that the Dominican courts were to continue in their functions, except that offences against the military Government were to be judged by military courts, and that all the revenues of the Dominican Government were to be paid over to the military Government, which would administer the same." All this is in perfect harmony with the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine, which interposed a bar to the acquisition of new colonies or dependencies by foreign powers in the Western Continent. When the Dominican finances became so deeply involved that foreign governments were on the point of moving to protect their interests, it devolved upon the United States to forestall such action by assuming the responsibility. It has done so and the results of the action are declared by the author of this work, "Santo Domingo: A Country With a Future," to be fraught with promise. RESPONSE TO A GOVERNOR. We do not wish to appear to moments on incidents happening in Florida seem to be happening in Florida said something about a meeting with sonville, when the members of the sented to the colored people an hour quota in the drive.

Mr. Blodgett denied that he had We do not wish to appear to be crowding this column with comments on incidents happening in Florida, but so many things of importance seem to be happening in Florida just now. A few weeks ago we said something about a meeting which was held in the armory at Jacksonville, when the members of the Third Liberty Loan Committee presented to the colored people an honor flag for having gone over their quota in the drive. The colored people were allotted $250,000 and they subscribed for $290,000 worth of bonds. We commented on the fact that this meeting opened up the armory to the Negroes of Jacksonville. Last week another joint meeting was held in Jacksonville. On the program it was called an "Encouragement Meeting." This meeting was held in the Duval Theatre, a building which colored people heretofore have been allowed to enter only by the side door and take a pair of stairs that led only to the "peanut-gallery." On this particular night they went in by the front door, they sat in the auditorium, in the balcony and in the boxes. Colored and white citizens sat together on the stage. Several addresses were made. One was made by Mr. Cliff Williams, white, of Mississippi, who in some way represents the Government in mobilizing labor. He spoke briefly and with a rather rough and ready style of oratory, but said many things worth hearing. Dr. George E. Haynes, our representative in the Department of Labor, also spoke, and gave a mass of facts that enlightened both the colored and white people of the audience as to the industrial part that the Negro is playing in the war. But the address of the evening was the one delivered by the Honorable Sidney J. Catts, Governor of Florida. Governor Catts was down for an "Address of Encouragement." Just what Governor Catts conceives to be the thing to encourage colored people we do, not know; but, at any rate, he started in and said a great many complimentary things about himself and a great many uncomplimentary things about the Negro. Perhaps it did encourage the colored people in the audience to learn that they had such an excellent governor, and to learn it from his own lips; but we doubt that they got much encouragement from hearing a detailed catalog of all the faults they possess and of a good many they don't possess. Mr. Williams, in his remarks, did admit that the Southern white man had not treated the Negro fairly, and he expressed the belief that from the war a great many wrongs would be righted. The Governor started on no such basis; he seemed to think that every handicap under which the Negro suffered could be traced to some fault of which the Negro himself was guilty. At one place in his speech the Governor seemed to imagine that he was talking to a crowd of gamblers and loose women. Had he not been the Governor he would most likely have been hissed. He enlightened his audience as to why the Indian had vanished; he said it was because the Indian would not bow to the white man, and that no race could hope to survive along with the white man unless it bowed. He also stated that if he were a Negro he would be ashamed to be a brown one or a yellow one, he would be ashamed to be anything but a black one. He spoke of keeping Negro labor in the State as though Negroes were peons. He spoke of soldiers and venereal diseases as though most of the women in the audience were to be held responsible. When the Governor sat down, the state of depression could be felt not only on the colored, but on the white people present. Then something happened. J. H. Blodgett, a well-known colored citizen of Jacksonville, was called upon for the response. Mr. Blodgett began by saying that he could not be expected to make a regular speech because he was nothing but an illiterate man. At this, the Governor lay back in his seat and beamed on Blodgett, evidently in anticipation of a real "good nigger" speech. But the apology of illiteracy which Mr. Blodgett offered proved to be mere camouflage; and he lit upon facts with a force and power and a command of wit and humor that stirred the big audience to applause and laughter. He said that it was a waste of time and energy for the white people to hold meetings to urge the Negro to be loyal; that the Negro's loyalty was not on trial; that he had been proving it ever since the time he helped the white man take this country from the Indian, and he was still proving it; that what the Negro wanted to hear was how the country intended to reward him for his loyalty. He then went on to tell the Governor why so many of the faces he looked into were brown and yellow; and he told him why so many Negroes had left and were leaving the State; and about lynching and "Jim Crow" cars and political inequalities. In the meanwhile, the Governor's beam had faded, there was a grim look on his face; he rose, and with pointed finger and in a tense voice, declared that Blodgett was assailing him, had insulted him, and made him the butt of ridicule. Mr. Blodgett denied that he had any intention of of the proposition has yet to be presented. At the time of the American intervention, violent protests were made by a certain element of the Dominicans and forecible resistance followed; but it soon died out, or at least but little more was heard of it. American occupation has done much to improve the material conditions of Hawaii, the Philippine and Porto Rico. Industrial, sanitary and educational progress has followed the entrance of American influence in those territories. Cuba has been aided and encouraged in attaining stability of government and material property through American intervention. Haiti will undoubtedly share in the benefits to be derived through this country's interest in the island of which it forms a part. Even Liberia across the seas has come to lean upon America for financial aid and comfort. There is every reason to believe that the autonomy, or right to be crowding this column with come Florida, but so many things of impulse Florida just now.

The greatest drawback and danger to be apprehended from American intervention in the countries inhabited by mixed races, is the introduction of color prejudice. Communities that have hitherto lived in harmony without the labels of "white" and "colored," are liable to be rent in twain by such divisions. It is therefore highly necessary that American interests in such countries should be represented by officials of tact and discretion, free from animus on the question of color. Otherwise such disaffection may be created as to outweigh all the material benefits conferred off the people in question. In the role of protector of weaker nations, America should be without bias on the question of insulting the Governor or holding him up to ridicule, and appealed to several of the white citizens on the stage as judges of his remarks; these citizens sustained Mr. Blodgett. After five minutes of charges and rebuttals exchanged between the Governor and Mr. Blodgett, the latter abruptly closed his speech and sat down. The audience sang "My Country, Tis of Thee" and the meeting was dismissed. We often hear of brave, outspoken colored men; many of them are brave and outspoken at a meeting in a colored Methodist or Baptist church; when they have a chance to speak plain and fearless truths before the very people who ought to hear them, they are often as one struck dumb. When colored men have to listen to such speeches as the one Governor Catts made, there is no good in sitting still and grinning under it, and then going outside to hurl thunderbolts at the speaker. Mr. Blodgett did the courageous thing, he said there and then what he had to say, and his words reached those for whom they were intended. It was a sad spectacle to see the Governor of a State with the opportunity to address an intelligent body of his colored fellow citizens, citizens who only a few weeks before had bought nearly $300,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and more than $75,000 worth of thrift stamps, an opportunity to say something that would be inspiring, but who could do nothing except rehash the old stock charges against the race about laziness and loose living. But there was real inspiration in the fact that Jacksonville had a colored citizen brave enough to make the fitting response. We hope the example will be generally followed. Let the motto be, "DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT." MORALS AT CONEY ISLAND. They have established what men at Coney Island; at least, a censor a sea bath.

Many regulations have been laid down; they insisted upon is that women cannot stockings. On the other hand—and just as hard is to understand—men are sings or socks. This strikes us as an unten, because half the joy and benefit does being able to splash around in your water come in direct contact with the incident that this regulation was laid down or benefits of bathing; it undoubtedly on of morals; that is, the protection of regulation was framed in the belief or are we compelled to say neither exert the water at Coney would lead to a warrant that there is a danger to morals as to which holds the greater danger than from his moral moorings and startation, feminine neither extremities in any same extremities clad in stockings of clothing as an authority on the subject, that the nude and natural state is fair, this better than the women themselves not only cover up defects, but a back of perfection, the silk stocking is a full appear faultless to the gullible mass perfection, the silk stocking—the compagination. In fact, there are very rare to don bathing clothes at a public. These regulations disregard protection. Why do they permit men to run alone and splash in the surf naked from rest and splash in the surf naked from rest upon these Coney Island Apollo both ways; that the unobstructed view of shanks possessed by the average man in the female heart as when they bag, well-pressed trousers. Fringes up the question of the psychology which we have not time at present. At the Coney Island censors have gone. To carry out their principle logic, stockings for women, but bathing skin from the ground. Avoid the error of making this a question but say, suppose that while trying to extract a little rest and plea a man should feel his frosty heart grow blood run a bit faster at the sight of — er neither extremities, well what are their morality on the belief that Coney women legs. They have established what might be called a censorship of morals at Coney Island; at least, a censorship of the morals involved in taking a sea bath. This censorship is concerned mainly with bathing costumes, and especially with women's bathing costumes. The censorship is being exercised by a police captain aided by his patrolmen and forty-two members of the Women's Police Reserves. A good many regulations have been laid down; and one that is being particularly insisted upon is that women cannot go in bathing unless they wear stockings. On the other hand—and just why this discrimination is made is hard to understand—men are not required to wear either stockings or socks. This strikes us as an unnecessary hardship on the women, because half the joy and benefit derived from a sea bath comes from being able to splash around in your naked feet and having the salt water come in direct contact with the skin. But it is evident that this regulation was laid down without any regard to the joy or benefits of bathing; it undoubtedly has for its purpose the protection of morals; that is, the protection of the morals of the men. The regulation was framed in the belief that the sight of bare feminine or are we compelled to say neither extremities—on the beach and in the water at Coney would lead to a deterioration in masculine morals. Yet if we grant that there is a danger to morals involved, there arises the question as to which holds the greater danger, which is more likely to loosen man from his moral moorings and start him headlong on the way to perdition, feminine nether extremities in a state of natural nudity or those same extremities clad in stockings of diaphanous silk. Without posing as an authority on the subject, we give it as our humble opinion that the nude and natural state is far less dangerous. And nobody knows this better than the women themselves. They know that silk stockings not only cover up defects, but add to perfection. Where there is lack of perfection, the silk stocking is a magical camouflage that makes all appear faultless to the gullible masculine eye. And where there is perfection, the silk stocking—the comparison here must be left to the imagination. In fact, there are very few women who would care or dare to don bathing clothes at a public beach without wearing stockings. But why do these regulations disregard protection for the morals of the women? Why do they permit men to run along the beach and paddle in the water and splash in the surf naked from the knees down? Do these regulations contemplate that no harm will result from the feminine gaze resting upon these Coney Island Apollos? We believe the rule works both ways; that the unobstructed view of the bumpy knees and spindle shanks possessed by the average man will not work near so much havoc in the female heart as when they are encased in a pair of good-fitting, well-pressed trousers. All of this brings up the question of the psychology of clothes, for a discussion of which we have not time at present. At any rate, it appears to us that the Coney Island censors have gone at the whole matter backwards. To carry out their principle logically, they should not have prescribed stockings for women, but bathing skirts not shorter than six inches from the ground. We wish to avoid the error of making this a question of morality, but we cannot help but say, suppose that while trying to perform the almost impossible feat of extracting a little rest and pleasure from a day at Coney Island a man should feel his frosty heart grow a bit warmer and his sluggish blood run a bit faster at the sight of a perfect pair of feminine er——er neither extremities, well what about it? Some people seem to base their morality on the belief that God committed a sin when He gave women legs. RED, WHITE AND BLACK [From the New York Sun] The flag of Germany consists of three horizontal stripes, black, white and red, with the black uppermost and the red at the bottom of the bunting. It is a color combination that does not appeal to the artistic taste, and is today laden with an abominable meaning to the world. There is another combination of black white and red now notably in evidence in Europe, however, that without making pretense to artistic worth conveys to the virtuous peoples of the earth a message of hope and confidence. It is revealed in three cable messages from Europe printed in the newspapers of yesterday. One of them records this fact: "Americans, including black Americans, and English and Italians fought between the French." Thus one color is specified, and the military rulers of Germany are compelled to recognize it. The second already indicated in the official announcement is emphasized in General Pershing's communique thus: "Advance continues. Counter attacks serving in the punitive enterprise commelles, and are near (west of) VilleMontoire, west of (about 500 meters) Plesseur-Hulleu, and have taken Rozet-St. Albin and Mauntry.

Rozet-St. Albin is ours. Maubry is ours. Above we are west of Plessier-Hulleu. We made good progress during the night" Herein it is disclosed that the Americans, including white Americans were not idle. Now for the red. "An interesting feature of the operations about Chateau Thierry in the last few days was the employment of a considerable number of American Indians on that front, where they rendered very valuable services as scouts. Some of these men were with Pershing in Mexico." Of these Indians it is recorded that they are Apaches from the White Mountain reservation of Arizona who, after serving in the putative enterprise commanded by General Pershing in the scattering of bandits in Mexico, "received a great ovation on their return to this country." When the American Expeditionary Forces went to France the "Indian scouts manifested willingness to go along to hunt Germans and General Pershing took them with him." Consequently, there is an American white and black invinible in power, civilized in purpose, humane in practices, and it is making conditions mighty uncomfortable for the black, white and red of Germany. CHANGE IN SENTIMENT OF THE WHITE SOUTH MOUND BAYOU, Miss - Charles Banke has received the following letter from a prominent white business man of this section: "I have your letter of the 25th and am obliged to you for the chippings. What I have seen of The New York Ace makes me like it more than any ma- tern colored paper and a great deal more than either the Chicago Defender or the Crisis. "I am using the enclosed pamphlet and am glad to say that a good deal of interest is being aroused in the definite consideration of this question. I find a number of my friends thoroughly in favor of the trial of lynchers by Federal Courts, and when I remember that while strongly opposed to lynching, I myself would have been opposed to this until a very recent date, I realize that we are all moving forward. Perhaps what makes me sympathetic is the realization that it was only 'by the hardest' that I reached my present convictions, and if colored people could but believe that the attitude of the majority of white people is due to a lack of belief in the capacity of the colored people to advance and to deserve better treatment, they would realize that the right course is the one advocated by Southern colored leaders. I am absolutely convinced that no power on earth can prevent, in the long run, the colored man from receiving the treatment which his character and attainments entitle him to receive. Many of us personally grant him such treatment now. What we have got to recognize now is that it is not enough for us to do this in our individual capacity but that as citizens we must go out of our way to see that we, as represented by the law and the executive, do not deal out to him treatment other than that which, as individuals, we personally deal out to him. "The action of the Negro troops appeals to the white people not alone because this action is in our defense, but because it shows unselfishness. We reserve our highest commendation for the man who risks his life because that the supreme sacrifice, but through society, the white man places in the highest position the man who, as a public servant, or in his private capacity, thinks of the good of others above himself. I remember that when I heard Dr. Weatherford of the Y. M. C. A. in an address in Nashville some years ago, speak of Negroes who had shown that spirit, my whole attitude toward the question underwent a change and I am convinced that it is so with others. "Dr. Sutton Griggs is undoubtedly the right track when he emphasizes the fact that the road to Negro power is merely in physical efficiency but in the spirit of self-sacrifice or rather self-realization, which we name altruistic service. The colored leader who works for his race without considering his own good, the colored teacher who thinks of her students and uses some of her salary, meager though it may be, to help them along; the colored clergyman who, on a small salary holds high ideas and preaches a doctrine which may bring to him condemnation of certain papers, but which he is convinced for the permanent good of his race and will help them in their relation with the white people—all these people are following the straight and narrow path and nothing on earth can prevent them from receiving the appreciation which the white people give to nothing so much as to that character of service. The reason my race appreciates that character of service so highly, is because it knows instinctively that the strength of the race is, in the long run, dependent upon that character of service. It is that I have tried to bring out in the enclosed pamphlet on religion and progress. NO MISSING LINKS.

"Your committee desires to speak a special word in commendation of the conduct, bravery, and skill of Col. C. B. Clayton, of the Fourth Infantry, next in command to Col Tripp. Had it not been for his promptness and determination, the mob would certainly have conquered him." "Col. Tripp, in his testimony before your committee, undertook to defend his blunders, but he failed utterly. If he had taken hold of the situation upon his arrival, inspired his soldiers with respect for him, gone to the center of the disturbance and turned loaded guns against the mob, he would have spared East St. Louis much of the ignominy of the innocent soldiers and saved the lives of many innocent men, women and children. "Your committee invites the attention of the Secretary of War to the record of this officer as set forth under oath by himself and many other witnesses. "The conduct of the soldiers who were sent to East St Louis to protect life and property puts a blot on that part of the Illinois militia that served under Col Tripp. They were scattered over the city, many of them being with out officers to direct or control them. In only a few cases did they do their job. The Secretary of War spit out indifference or cowardice that marked the conduct of the police force. As a rule they fraternized with the mok, joked with them, and made no serious effort to restrain them. "Following are a few of many incidents tested to by responsible witnesses." "A Negro, unarmed, making no resistance, and trying to escape the furry of the mob, was knocked down and cruelly kicked and beaten His condition was so pititable that a soldier said to the roiters, 'Boys, he has suffered enough; let him alone. For answer one of the negro five times, a soldier plowing through his braun The soldier then put his gun on his shoulder and calmly walked away, making no arrests "A number of soldiers openly stated that 'they didn't like niggers' and would not disturb a white man for killing them" Three soldiers and two policemen were ordered to close a Negro saloon On one man ran and the soldiers and policemen shot and killed both men, although neither had committed any offence. "The same crowd shot off the arm of the Negro servant girl, Minneola McGee, already mentioned. They had no warrant for her; she had not committed any offense; she was not even running away. She was cruelly maimed for life offending her. She was murdered. This unoffending girl was shot by the shirt soldiers, as testified to by the police-men who have been prosecuted. Your committee was unable to secure the names of these militiamen. They must be known to the military authorities. It is the duty of the governor and the adjutant general of Illinois to find these men and to punish them for their brutal act. It was one of the most flagrant cases of cruelty revealed to your committee." "Paul Y. Anderson, reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, testified that he heard a soldier tell a white man who was loading a revolver to kill all the Negroes he could, that he didn't like them, either." "A member of the Sixth Illinois Infantry boasted that he had fired his gun 12 times at the target. And every time at a black target." Your committee was unable to secure the name of this soldier. "It was a common expression among the soldiers: 'Have you got your mugger yet?' A militiaman in uniform said to have been on furlough led a section of the mob that was killing Negroes. A soldier stabbed a white boy with a bayonet to death. The boy was carrying a pair of pantslaws across his arm. That was his sole offense. The soldier was drinking and murderously assaulted him. After a full hearing the coroner's jury unanimously held him on a charge of murder. But later, at a secret trial by the military authorities, he was released. "Soldiers deliberately shot into a house where seven Negroes had taken fire." E. Poppick, a reporter for the St Louis Times, testified that he saw two inoffensive Negroes, while fleeing for their lives from a burning building, shot down by soldiers "The governor of Illinois has a responsibility in this matter that he can not evade. The militia of the State are under his control. He can arrange militiamen for misconduct; he can remove officers for inefficiency; he can institute a thorough inquiry that will expose the criminal and the incompetent. A prominent merchant of East St Louis testified that within 24 hours after the occurrence he will administer the governor of the state to a militiaman who deliberately shot a Negro without provocation, a crime committed in cold blood. He did not know the militiaman's name, but it was possible for the governor to learn who he was and to visit proper punishment upon him. "Special commendation is due Attorney General Brundage and Assistant General Middlekauf The attorney general answered every appeal made to him by the good people of East St Louis and St Clair County and, virtually without assistance from the local authorities, remedied many evils. It was due entirely to his efforts that lawless resorts were closed, and wherever there had been a violation of the State law he was quitted to the arrest and prosecution of the offender. Attorney General Middlekauf had active charge of the prosecutions growing out of the root, and he showed neither fear nor favor. Capable, determined, and courageous, he allowed neither political influence nor personal appeals to swerve him from the strict line of duty. "As a result of these prosecutions by and 8 white men are in the State senate; 2 additional white men have been sentenced to prison terms; 14 white men have been given jail sentences; 27 white men, including the former chief of police and three policemen, have pleaded guilty to rioting and have been punished. In the face of organized, determined effort, backed with abundant funds, to head off the prosecutions and convictions. In case of Mayor Mollman there seems to have been an open, paid advertising campaign to slander and intimidate the attorney general. State Senator Kate estimate in having men of ability and character at the head of its law department." PHILADELPHIA PA PHILADELPHIA, PA.-Dr J. Thomas Stanford, 4020 Sonson Street, narrowly escaped death on Tuesday, when his automobile was caught between two large motor trucks and badly damaged. Edward C.
