New York Age

HELLO, WELCOME, LET'S GO CAMP UP FOR THE NEW YORK The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOME. The New York Age IS REJAMED. WHEN NOW IT IN "THE ACKT," MAY BE REJAMED BY THE PRESIDENT. COLONEL YOUNG MAY SOON BE RECALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY VOL. XXXL NO. 45. Secretary Baker Said To Be Considering Case of Army Officer. 3IMPORTANT RESULTS Since Conference of Editors at Washington President Wilson Has Spoken Out Against Lynching, Colored Nurses Have Been Accepted by the Red Cross and Announcement Made of Probable Recall of Colonel Charles Young to Active Duty. Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEMIA WASHINGTON, D. C.—President Wilson's pronouncement against lynching, the recognition and enrollment of colored nurses by the American Red Cross and the probable early recall of Col. Charles Young to active duty are the three outstanding features which give concrete evidence that the recent conference of colored editors held here in June, called by Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, at the suggestion of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, already has been productive of good President Wilson's firm stand for law and order is ranked with the finest of the great papers that have emanated from the White House, and his condemnatory utterances against the reign of mob law has been most favorably received by the colored and white citizens of all sections. It will be remembered by those familiar with the proceedings of the conference at the New Interior Department Building that the full force of the leaders who spoke was marshaled in opposition to the lynchings, burning and inhuman mob violence practiced mainly against colored people in various sections of the country, and that this lack of respect for the common rights of citizens was given as the most potent cause for the unrest among Negroes. This was the underlying reason for bringing the conference together from far distant points. The proceedings of the conference reached the President through the Committee on Public Information, of which Mr George Creel is chairman. The colored people are jubilant over the timely and straightforward pronouncement of the President of the United States and that such an utterance from the highest authority in the land will cause a wave of patriotic enthusiasm among them and inspire a keener impulse to assist in the many constructive war activities throughout the Republic can not be doubted. To Be War Nurses. The second big achievement growing out of the conference is the opening made for the employment of the large number of colored trained nurses who have patriotically registered their names with the American Red Cross Society for work among the colored troops on the field and in the base hospitals. The conference strongly urged that these skilled nurses be used at the earliest possible opportunity. According to an announcement made through the office of the special assistant to the Secretary of War last week plans have been laid by the Surgeon General of the army to have colored nurses assigned to six of the base hospitals in this country where approximately 38,000 colored troops are stationed, namely, Camps Funston, Dodge, Grant, Taylor, Sherman and Dix, and with a practical certainty that these skilled agents of mercy will have a further opportunity for service among the colored soldiers overseas. With the constant increment of coloured men in the army the number of women to be utilized must be correspondingly enlarged from time to time, with a constantly expanding area of usefulness and spiritual influence. This signal triumph has heartened beyond measure the women of our land, who are called upon in time of war to make the heaviest sacrifices, and yet are the most willing to sacrifice and to serve when called upon to do so. This is the second big achievement that may be reliably credited to the recent conference and it will prove to be a vital factor in alleviating the unrest that has been breaking down the morale of Negro Americans. The early recall to active duty of Colonel Charles Young, the idol of the young colored men of red blood and sturdy public spirit, also urged by the conference, is before the War Department. It has become known that the Secretary of War from the veto beginning has sympathetically considered the whole matter of utilizing the valuable military experience and services of Colonel Young, who, until his retirement some months ago, was actively identified with the regular army. Special to The New York Act CHICAGO, Ill.-M. Van Gelder, president of the Empire Mattress Co., which manufactures, mattresses for Sears, Roebuck & Co., has written a letter to Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Co., calling attention; to the splendid results secured at the mattress factory as the result of the substitution of colored labor. Permission has been secured for the publication of the letter in which the efficiency of colored men and women is praised. The letter follows: EMPIRE MATTRESS CO. Chicago. July 18, 1918. Office of the President. Mr. Julius Rosenwald. Care Beers, Robbuck & Co. Chicago, Ill. My Dear Mr. Rosenwald: Advertising, to our conversation regarding the labor changes in my factory I shall briefly outline some. Beginning with three years ago, the employee consisted mainly of Reqs. Poles, whom we had taught different from the work and who had worked for me, in most cases from their immigrant stage, varying from four to twenty-four years. They were an ignorant man, cricking in their servility and totally unacustomed to be taught. However, as they taught the work and received good treatment they assumed an important role of independent man. Another type we had to contend with was those known as the tramp American, the man and workman. They were generally irresponsible, frequently getting drunk thereby causing loss of time, etc. After the war had been in progress for some time and immigration ceased, conditions became critical. While I was South on a buying trip I heard of a colored machinist whom I forthwith saw and hired at a much higher salary, of course, than he was getting South. He proved satisfactory to such a man that I hired all those men for the work and placed him at the head of same. While he and the other men receive (Continued on second page.) FATHER BURKE NEARS 40TH YEAR AS PRIEST Next Sunday the, Rev. John E. Burke, in charge of the Catholic board for mission work among the Negroes in America, will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of his ordination. Of these years Father Burke has devoted thirty-five to the Negroes of America. He is now trying to solemnize his anniversary by raising $40,000 in Liberty Bonds. Already he has raised $12,000. The interest of the fund will be used for the continuation of the schools of the mission, which necessitate 132 nuns. The monthly payroll for this body of teachers amounts to only $2,310. Father Burke is best known to New Yorkers through his service as pastor of the Church of St. Benedict the Moor, which was established under his ministration on Bleecker street near Mac dougal. He also established St. Benedict's Home for Colored Children at Rye, N. Y. EXTRA! MEMBER OF 15TH KILLED IN ACTION The first member of the old 15th New York Infantry reported by the War Department to fall in action was Corporal William Stephens. The casualty list gives the dead soldier's address as 52 West 139th street, New York City. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1918. BLAME MAYOR OLD 15TH TO BE FOR RACE RIOTS SEEN ON SCREEN MORE COLORED REGISTRANTS IN HARLEM ARE CALLED TO COLORS Chairmen of the local boards in Harlem Tuesday received word from the War Department to call to colors all remaining colored registrants in Class 1 on Friday, August 2. Colored Citizens of Philadelphia Accuse Mayor Smith of Playing Politics. WHITE TOUGHS UNMOLESTED Clashes Between Races in the "City of BrotherlyLove" Start When Colored Woman Shoots Ruffian Who Is a Member of Mob Which Stones House She Had Just Moved Into. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Two committees of representative Negroes called upon Mayor Smith and Director of Public Safety Wilson Tuesday and registered a protest against the partiality of the police during the race riots in Southwest Philadelphia, in which several innocent Negroes were killed and many wounded. The colored citizens here are up in arms against what they term the failure of the police to protect the homes and persons of colored people. It is charged that the police invariably arrested colored citizens on any pretense, white white hoodlums were allowed to parade the streets unmolested, stoning the homes and churches of Negroes. Segregation of any kind is vigorously opposed by the colored people here, who insist that Negroes have a constitutional right to live, wherever they please. A government has been formed by authorities that colored police in colored sections would do much to solve the present problem. Mayor Smith has been accused of playing politics in the police force, which, according to colored people, is inefficient. Say Police Force is Incompetent. The letter sent Mayor Smith by colored citizens was in part as follows: We represent large constituencies who reside in the race riots which seem now in progress. We have visited the homes of scores of these people and are well informed concerning conditions. We wish to deplore the fact that your police have not been able to protect our citizens from mob violence. We deplore that Philadelphia thus gives the first answer to the mobile statement of President Wilson against mob violence with such a mockery. We desire to understand that we put the whole blame upon your incompetent police force. But for the sympathy of the police, their hobnobbing with the mob, what has now become the disgrace of Philadelphia would have been nothing more than a petty row. Your police have, for a long time winked at disorder, such as the heating up of Negroes, the stoning of their homes and the attacking of their churches. (Continued on second page.)

Thompson, Committee on Public Information Has Decided to Use Picture for Propaganda Work - Colored Troopers Required to be Admirably Standing the Shock of War. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The War College (Division of Chief of Staff) has recently had shown before it a motion picture showing the 369th Infantry organization, now on duty overseas, at work and at play near the Western front. The 369th Infantry, National Army, is the old 15th New York Infantry organization, Col. William Hayward, commander. When this picture was shown at the War College a few on two and Emmett J. Scott, special mission to the Secretary of War, was invited to be present at this private show. Afterward, upon consultation with decided to release this film, the earliest possible moment to the presentation on Public Information, the latter was drawn down the country among the public offices of the United States, that they may be informed as to the splendid showing the men of their race are making on the "other side." All of the reports which come to the War Department indicate that these men are standing the shock of war admirably and are measuring up to the highest expectations of General Pershing and their military commanders. The Committee on Public Information, recognizing the value of this picture and its aid as an extremely valued piece of propaganda, has consented to whip it into shape at an early date for showing in the various colored and white theatres of the country.

Mass.—Nine colored registrants left Pittsfield for Camp Devens Thursday, August 1 Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Caesar gave a dinner in honor of the young men at their home in Dalton. Mass. Tuesday afternoon The following were present: Harry S. Vincent, Charles B. Dunn, William H. Blake, Charles F. Wall and Ernest O. Upshaw. Among the other guests present was Mrs. Harriet Treadwell, grandmother of William H Blake, who was ninety-four years old on her last birthday in June; Mrs Lenora Shields, an aunt of William H. Blake, who took him at the death of his mother when he was but three years old; Mrs. George Hill, another aunt; the Rev Dr. T Nelson Baker, pastor of the Second Congregational Church and family Mrs John Caesar, a daughter-in-law of Mr. Samuel Caesar and her six children The young men who leave on Thursday morning will long remember the very pleasant time Mr. and Mrs. Caesar gave them and their friends. President Wilson is being applauded by the Southern pre personal address to his fellow countrymen in which the cit the United States are called upon to stamp out mob violence of the leading editors assert that Mr. Wilson's address on object ranks with "his many great war utterances," and in instances the passage of laws to summarily deal with lynchers is ad advocated. Some of the editorial comment on the subject follows: From the Atlanta Constitution: In an unprecedented and extraordinary personal statement addressed to "my fellow countrymen," President Wilson has appealed with fine eloquence to the American people "to make an end of this disgraceful evil"—lynching. It is an appeal identical in its purpose and aim with that which the Constitution has for many years been making. But, despite all that has been said by this newspaper and the law-abiding, decency-loving citizens generally of this State, Georgia today stands disgrigated by having more lynchings to its discredit for the first half of 1918 than any other State in the union except one—which has only an equal number 1. Every year, in season and out, the L islature has been urged, begged and entreated to enact a law that would do precisely what the President of the United States appeals to the people to do; yet Legislature after Legislature has stood mute with folded arms, either di-regarding the appeals of decepter, law and order, or else fearful of the political hostility of the minority lawless element which embodies the mob spirit in this State. Pending now before General Assembly of Georgia, which if elected to serve in the office of the chief of any county commission in and around lynching occurs to automatically forfeit his office and the privilege of ever afterward holding public office in this State, unless he showed that he did his duty to avert it. The bill is not unduly drastic; it is reasonable and fair, because any sheriff who, either through lack of alertness, diligence or capability, or through willful disregard for the law, permits a lynching to take place within the scope of his jurisdiction is obviously a misfit in any office of trust and responsibility, and he ought to be dismissed and disqualified in accordance with the provisions of this act! Lynch law not only disgraces the State that permits it, but, as President Wilson makes clear, it disgraces the entire nation, weakens its position and tends to undermine its strength and to help its enemy in this war. That a remedy for this disgraceful, dangerous, degrading, outlaw institution should be blocked solely by the legislative fear of losing the support of the mob and mob sympathizers at the polls challenges belief! While the President's appeal is by no means a threat, it is, nevertheless, a public warning, the meaning of which is plain. The people of Georgia, and the lawmakers of Georgia, may rest assured that as certain as it is that the sun will rise tomorrow, if they do not stamp mob law out of existence in this and other States the United States government will! From Macon Daily Telegraph: President Wilson 'so speaks to all of America, for lynching is now a common enough practice beyond the borders of the Negro belt in which we live, when he makes his straightout call to the country to see to it there is no more of it. We can rest assured the lynchings of all sorts we have had since war broke out have been used with special effect and strength by German propagandists to discredit the high motives and hold up to ridicule the really useless ultimate ends of freedom and democracy to which our government has pledged our armies. It does not, as the President reminds us, sound very well to be shouting that we are fighting for democracy abroad when we are shaming and making a failure of some of the most precious safeguards of democracy itself among ourselves. He does sound the kernote of the whole lynching situation in this country when he says: ... and above all the men and women in every community in the United States, all who revere and wish to keep her name without reproach, will co-operate—not passively, merely, but actively and watchfully—to make an end of this disgraceful evil. It cannot live where the community does not countenance it. These words are a sad reminder and they carry a solemn weight of truth and authority. The crimes that usually provoke lynchings are usually of a sort of outgrowing from some general condition of fester that they arouse the anger and passion of the majority sentiment of the community. Without this sentiment aroused there would be no lynchings anywhere. The lynchers never move until, or unless they feel certain the ferment all about them had made it safe. They are unconscious of being governed by this authority, but nevertheless they are. No man was ever lynched for anything the whole community was not wrought up about certain to become so as soon as it learned of what had happened. It is our mental and spiritual attitude that must change, as to detest the lyncher more and distrust the law. Even in a country in which there dwell together two widely different races, long schooled and refined in its own pride in a successful and aesthetic civilization, the other a generation, two out of savagery, but a half century out of slavery, even in such country there can be only one person as a result of which to which intelligent, decent and patriotic people, with a proper sense of their own pride, perseverity may ever lend even the color of tolerance. And many, many too many of our lynchings are for other causes and reasons entirely. None of these are inexcitable, they are rageous, intolerable and weaken, or the boasted and wounded, murder of our own race to hold us in captivity. The President has called for a changed state of mind among the American people and his call is based not only on a great man's natural aversion to violence in the place of orderly and effective processes, but on a vital expedient, an important need in the whole mixed, puzzling and highly important interracial—dynastical and—political condition of the world today. We must do nothing here to mess up the machinery. From Charlotte (N. C.) Observer: President Wilson's denunciation of the mob spirit and mob action is timely and appropriate and presents a new and sound argument against mob violence. Always mob spirit and mob action have deplorable and deserving of the severest condemnation on the fundamental ground that mob violence is an attack not alone upon the victim of the wrath of those participating, but it is an attack upon law and order, upon the courts, upon the dignity of the State. The mob tramples the rights of the courts of the land under its feet; it trails the dignity and majesty of the State and the State's laws in the dust; it makes a "scrap of paper" of the Constitution that guarantees to every man charged with crime a trial in open court by a jury of his peers. Moreover, each member of a mob makes himself a criminal and thereby to a certain extent puts himself upon a level with the criminal who is the victim of the mob's vengeance. Besides, there is always the great danger, at best, that the really guilty one escapes the mob and its wrath is poured out upon some innocent victim of circumstances. Such cases are of record and they are not so very few. But President Wilson, while never for a moment minimizing these reasons why the mob spirit and mob action should not be tolerated in an enlightened State, presents the matter in a new light and places his appeal upon new ground, adding tremendously, if possible, to the weight of reason and argument against mob activities. Every instance of mob violence is a direct blow at the fundamentals of democracy, the very principle for which America and the Allies today are waging war upon Germany and her Allies. The President therefore calls upon the nation to show the world that while it fights for democracy on foreign fields it is not destroying democracy at home. There appears to have been no special occasion for the President's personal statement to the American people other than the fact that lynchings of Negroes in this country, as well as attacks upon those suspected of being enemies to the country or German sympathizers, have been used as German propaganda throughout Central and South America and Europe to show that the pretensions of the United States as a champion of democracy are a sham. Lynchings indeed are nothing less than "a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice" and every mob and every member of a mob, under present world conditions and in view of the ideals acclaimed by the United States as that for which it is fighting, lends aid and comfort to the enemy promotes the German cause. The mob of today, then, is in reality, if unwittingly, a German agency, even though MAMARONECK, N. Y. MAMARONECK, N. Y. Mamaroneck, N. Y. A reception was held last week in honor of the Rev M. O.

(aaa a Le ro a es ey od os . | THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS. “:; ‘President Wilson has broken his “Jong continued silence on the sub- ject of lynching by a personal istatement,addressed to his fellow Zeountrymen denouncing mob spirit “and mob action. This pronounce- “ment, while sweeping enough in “it8 terms to include the lynching of “Negroes, as well as enemy aliens or sympathizers, with the enemy, is based. on the broad ground that “Gvety Wynching “has been a blow at thé heart of ordered Jaw and hu- inate justice.” . The President’s statement is to be regarded ds essentially a war meagure, just in the same way that President. Lincoln finally decreed the emancipation of the slaves. Lin- coln’s chief aim was to save the Union, with slavery if that was the only way, or without it, if that was more feasible, but the saving of the Union was the first consideration. In the same spirit, President Wil- son's chief aim is to win the war. He is sagacious enough to see that the prevalence of mob law and lynching at home is not the way to ensure the victory of democracy abroad, and he seeks to make his “countrymen realize this fact. He -has done a big thing in a big way. * ‘THE AcE has taken'this position ‘ever since the war began and has sought to open the eyes of those in authorit¥ to this view of the case. Only last week, in our leading edi- torial, referring to the report of the ‘Congressional Committee on the East St. Louis riots we insisted that “the maintenance of law and order at home is essential to winning the war abroad.” | ‘The question is, whether strong as the language and cogent the rea- soning of the President, will his ap- peal to the Governors of all the States and the law officers of every community, be effective enough to produce the desired results. Some of these Governors and law officers ‘have been the abettors and apolo- gists for the mob. Will moral sua- ‘sion alone be sufficient to bring ‘about a change of heart on their part? It must be borne in mind that the State and local authorities are the creatures of the community in which they are clected. Can it be expected that they will prove strong enough to oppose the mob in those’ communities, where the mob spirit is predominant? In,order that the President's call that the laws shall be kept inviolate should be effective, there should be the enactment of a national anti- lynching law by the Congress, giv- ing the Federal authorities jurisdic- tion over crimes of this character, Let Congress back up the Presi- denv’s appeal by the speedy passage of the Dyer bY or some similar measure. Lynching must be sup- pressed and law and order must prevail. As the President truly says: “How shall we commend democracy to the acceptance of other peoples if we disgrace ou: own by proving that it is, after all no protection to the weak?” THE NURSES’ VICTORY. A letter to the editor of Tue Ace expresses high apjreciation of the work of the able, untiring workers among our women, who aided so largely in bringing about the recog- nition by the Red Cross of colored nurses. The extent of this victory for the nurses may be gauged by the announcement that plans have been laid by the Surgeon General of the army to-have colored nurses as- signed to six of the base hospitals jin this country, where approximate- ly 38,000 colored troops are sta~ tioned. There is also a practical certainty that these nurses will see service overseas. While it might appear to be in- vidious to single out any one of the: women of the race in Greater New York sho: worked s0 earnestly to: bring about this result, mention is rightly due those who led in the’ movement. Among these were Miss. S. Elizabeth Frazier, president of the Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. Adah B. Thoms, president of the Na- tional Association of Trained Nurses, and Mrs. Ellie A. Mars, chairman of the Brooklyn [Liberty Unit of the Red Cross. To these women and many others who sup- ported their efforts is due no minor share of the credit for the victory. AN ALABAMA PLANK. Judge Charles B. Teasley of Montgomery is a candidate for Governor of Alabama. In his plat- form he urges that the school term be made uniform in every county in the State. This sounds quite an advanced policy for a gubernatorial candidate in that sion until one comes to examine his platform more carefully. Then this plank is found to read: “Every white child in the State should have an equal ypportumty of an education, regardless of resi- dence. Appropriations out of the general. fund shoyld be made to mect this situation. Evidently the black children of Alabama have no claims to be con- sidered in the light of an oppor- tunity for education, equal or un- equal. And yet the parents of these children are equally taxed to contribute to that general fund, out of which appropriation is to be made to provide education for the whites. The caliber of Judge Teasley is further suggested by the demagogic manner in which he advocates lib- eral treatment of Confederate sol- diers and their widows. Referring toa pension fund for their benefit, he grandiloquently says: “While a member of the Senate from Montgomer County I passed a bill providing for a distribution of this fund but it failed im the House on account of tmal adjourn- ment If elected Governor I will not only suggest, but will urge the Legislature to pass ay act correct- ing this injustice” Funds for the education of white children and for distribution to Confederate pensioners, but none for Negro children. And this is the measure of Alabama statesman- ship. What chance has the Presi- dent’s appeal for taw and order with a Governor of this ilk? If he “passed” a bill while merely a member of the Senate, what would he not do if made Governor? One of the esteemed sabe rihers of Tie Ace recently changed his address from a post office m Vir- ginia to a postoflice bearmg the name of Fairchance in a State fur- ther North. This change tells the whole story of Negro migration from the South. There is some- thing in a name after all. The State of South Carolina has started a health campaign as a war emergency measure. It is planned to make thé Negro population’ an ‘VIRWS and,REVIE WS WHY THE NEGRO SHOUED FIGHT. We have a letter from one of our readers in Oklahoma in which he says some very complimentary things about The Age and its editorial page, and especially about an article which appeared in this column a few issues back in answer to an editorial in the Plain- field (N. J.) Courier-News entitled “Why Should the Negro Fight?” Our correspondent says, “The way in which you picked to frit- ters that piece of Courier-News stuff on ‘Why the Negro Should ‘Fight’ was certainly clear and gratifying. It made me want to read more from you on that subject. And I should certainly be | pleased if you would discuss this subject and give the reasons as to why the Negro should fight, doing so in the next issue of The Age, if possible.” 7 . We have so many times within the past couple of years given the reasons why the Negro should fight or perhaps it would be bet- ter to say, fight his best, that it does not seem necessary to do so again. And, besides, the fact that the Negima is fighting so well renders any discussion of the question merely as a question still more unnecessary. Nevertheless, in compliance with the request of our correspondent, we shall restate briefly the reasons we have been giving in this column from the time when it first agpeared likely that this country would have to enter the conflict. We shall omit all of the reasons based on sentiment and altru- ism, and give only those dictated by plain, common sense, by what might be called self-preservation and:self-interest. In this way the question may be put squarely before the narrowest, the most selfish and the most short-visioned minds. . First of all, we are American citizens and this is our country. We are Americans by birth; we are Americans historically and tra- ditionally; we have been here three hundred years; we helped to take the land from the Indians, we helped to clear it and develop it; we have helped to fight the nation’s battles from Bunker Hill on down ; and we are written as citizens in the Constitution. We have not yet secured the full measure of citizenship which the organic law of the land declares to be ours, and there are those who are de- termined that we never shall secure it; but it would be the height of folly for us to abdicate our claim to what the Constitution grants us because a proportion or even a majority of the people of the coun- try were opposed to our having it. And that is exactly what we would do if we refused to perform the duties of citizenship. We must perform all the duties of citizenship and so keep our case in court clean; at the samg-time we must continually put for- ward our claim to the full rights which correspond to those duties. To cease to perform the duties while claiming the rights’ would be futile; and to perform the daties while neglecting to claim the rights would be pusillanimous. Both must go on together. Any idea that the Negro could gain anything by sulking in his tent would necessarily be based on the supposition that the ninety millions in this country could not possibly fight the war success- fully without the aid of the ten millions. Suppose the ten millions did sulk, and the ninety millions somehow or other struggled through and won the war, what would become of the claim of the ten mil- lions for the full rights of citizenship? No, the Negro has got to be in the position when this war is over to say, “We helped to win it.” But, as we said in’beginning, “why the Negro should fight" is not a question The fact is that he is fighting, and fighting as bravely and fearlessly as he ever did. He is not only fighting at the front, but he is helping to bear the burden at home; he is doiny something he has never done before, he is helping to pay for this war He is buying Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps; he is assisting in Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. drives and all the other activities that go for the sucegssful prosecution of the war. ‘The only question in some minds is whether the Negro should forego putting forward his claims for equal citizenship while he is helping to.win the war or whether he should wait until the war is over to do so. We can sue no violation of vither ethics or chivalry in the Negro claiming for himself those things for which the war is being fought, while he him- self is helping to fight it In fact, we believe that the ninety mil- ions in this country do not expect him to do anything less. The writer attended a public school closing in a Southern city some few weeks ago The members of the school board were pres- ent and the superintendent made a speech. The colored citizens of that town had been demanding of the board of education that colored teachers who passed the same examination and did the same grade of work should receive the same salaries as the corresponding white. teachers. The superintendent in his remarks referred to that de- mand. He said that the board would increase the salaries of colored teacher as fast as it could, and he advised the colored people to be patient. Patience is often declared to be a virtue; but how will it serve as a virtue to the Negro in his struggle? It will not be a virtue if it means patience to wait until things come. It will be a virtue only if it means patience to keep on fighting and contending for what is right and just until they do come. The danger for the Negro in losing patience does not consist-in losing patience 1) keep on waiting, but in losing patience to keep on fighting Now, some of this advice about being patient could well be taken by the white people. It 1s they who should not Inse patience at the demands which the Negro is making, When the Negro demands the abolishment of lynching, equal justice in the courts. a fair divi- sion of the school funds and the municipal benefits, and the doing away with Jim Crowism ant other humiliating discriminations, when he demands equal opportunity to live and to work, let the white people be patient. T.ct them remember that in this matter they are in the wrong and the Negro is in the right. integral part of the campaign, with a branch under the direction of Seymour Carroll and Robert W.

The members of the State Council of Defense evidently realize that the health and sanitation of the Negro population cannot be neglected Without affect- ing the white ee “PRESIDENT DENOUNCES MOB SPIRIT: ‘Washington, D. C_—President Wilson last Friday, in a personal statement addressed to his fellow countrymen denouncing mob spirit and mob action, called upon the nation to show the world that while it fights for democracy on foreign fields it is not destroying democracy at home. The President referred not alone to mob action against those suspected of being eneniy aliens or enemy sympathizers; he de- nounced most emphatically mob action of all sorts, especially lynch- ‘ings, and while he did not refer specifically to lynchings of Negroes ‘in the South, it is known that he included them in his characteriza- tion of mob spirit as “a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice.” It is known that the lynchings of Negroes, as well as attacks ‘upon those suspected of being enemies or sympathizers, have been used by the German propaganda throughout Central’ and South America as well as in Europe in contending that the pretensions of the United States as a champion of democracy are a sham. ' Deeply concerned by the situation the President decided to ad- dress his ‘allow countrymen and to declare that “every mob contri- butes to German lies about the United States what her most gifted liars cannot improve upon by way of calumny.” * The Presidents statement’ in full follows: “My Fellow Countrymen: “I take the liberty of addressing you upon a subject which so vitally affects the honor of the nation and the very character and integrity of our institutions that I trust you will think me justified in speaking very plainly about it. “I allude to the mob spirit which has recently here and there very frequently shown its head among us, not in any single region but in many and widely separated parts of the country. There have been many lynchings, and every one of them has been a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice. “No man who loves America, no man who really cares for her fame and honor and character, or who is truly loyal to her institutions, can justify mob action while the courts of justice are open and the governments of the States and the nation are-ready and able to do their duty. “We are at this very moment fighting lawless passion. Germany has outlawed herself among the nations because she has disregarded the sacred obligations of law and has made lynchers of her armies. Lynchers emulate her disgraceful example. I, for my part, am anx- ious to see every community in America rise above that level, with pride and a fixed resolution which no man or set of men can afford to despise. “We proudly claim to be the champions of democracy. If we realty are in deed and in truth let us see to it that we do not dis- credit our own. I say plainly that every American who takes part in the action of a mob or gives any sort of countenance is no true son of this great democracy, but its betrayer, and does more to discredit her by that single disloyalty to her standards of law and right than the words of her statesmen or the sacrifices of her heroic boys in the trenches can do to make suffering peoples believe her to be their savior. “TTow shall we commend democracy to the acceptance of other peoples if we disgrace our own by proving that it is, after all, no protection to the weak? Every mob contributes to German lies about the United States, what her most gifted liars cannot improve upon by the way of calumny. They can at least say that such things cannot happen in Germany except in times of revolution, when law is swept away! “T therefore very earnestly and solemnly beg that the Governors of all the States, the law officers of every community, and, above ull, the men and women of every community in the United States, all who revere America and wish to keep her name without stain or reproach, will cooperate—not passively merely, but actively and watchfully--to make an end of this disgraceful evil. It cannot live where the community does not countenance it. “T have called ypon the nation to put its great energy into this war, and it has responded—responded with a spirit and a genius for action that has thrilled the world. I now Gall upon it, upon its men and women everywhere, to sce to it that its laws are kept inviolate, its fame untarnished “Let us show our utter contempt for the things that have made this war hideous among the wars of history by showing how «those who love liberty and right and justice and are willing to lay down their lives for them upon foreign fields stand ready also to illustrate to all mankind their loyalty to all things at home, which they wish io see established everywhere as a bléssing and protection .to the neaples who have never known the privilege of liberty and self- covernment. “T can never accept any man as a champion of liberty either for ourselves or for the world who does not reverence and obey the laws »f our own beloved land, whose laws we ourselves have made. He has adopted the standards of the enemies of his country, whom he uffects to despise. “WOODROW WILSON.” ENTHUSIASM FROM THE SOUTHLAND To the Edtor of Tir New Yor Ace: Finding your paper so interesting and so many pieces from subseribers, 1 has enthused me to give you a few sketches from our Southland — Remg now in my 62d year and having acquainted myself with many good colored papers, T am forced to say that Tue New York Ace 48 the best colored paper I have ever come in touch with, It must be an inspiration from the very fountain of wisdom [hike it because it’s not a fire cater te anv extreme, but it tells the truth in dealing ont justice between man and man, T feel that | would ke to set up a few milestones along the path of time fam acquainted with the horrors. of war and its debauchery from the Cavil War down to now I would hike for the entire warkd to know how sincerely: T stand for “Demeeracy,’ “Breedom,” and “Liberty,” while it is freshly starnped upon my inemory. that my dear mother enived five vears of freedom ‘Through all the diserummation and domi- tahun, we inten! to use every exertion in our power ta win this war for a “world freedom" Seomg the great eflorte that our better classes of blacks am] whites are mak- ing tn work together for the fistuire good nf Inmanity regardless of creed, sect, or color, T feel that every eolarcd man and woman, narth, south, cast and west shonld come solely aml whole heartedly as American citizens inte this war, ‘The colored peaple of the South are lanking forward ta a better day and better feeling sn the future than we have had in the past.

WASHINGTON LETTER Miss Jeanneette Carter, Manager. WASHINGTON, D. C.-Considering the number of colored soldiers encamped in easy reach of Washington not as many are seen on our streets and in our public places of accommodation and amusement as might be reasonably expected. The reception given by the colored Army Service Club at its headquarters, 1636 Fourteenth street, last week, to the Rev. M. S. Caver, chaplain, who has been commissioned a lieutenant in the army, was a success. Addresses were made by Judge Robert H. Terrell, chairman, who introduced as the speakers of the occasion the Rev. A. C. Garner and the Rev. J. M. Waldron. Miss Frances Bell acted as secretary and Miss Ida Ge Plummer as mistress of ceremonies. Music was furnished by the Christian Endeavor choir of Third Baptist Church, the audience joining in the singing of pop music. Miss Mary Clark, Carter a blind teacher, presided at the organ, assisted by Miss Mary Clark Chaplain Caver has an appointment as an instructor at Camp Taylor.

J. THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS BENEFIT AT ALHAMBRA A BIG SUCCESS WHAT is generally regarded as the most successful benefit performance ever given in Greater New York under colored management was staged at Keith's Alhambra Theatre, Seventh avenue and 126th street, last Saturday evening in the interest of the building fund of the Colored Men's Branch of the Y. M. C. A. The occasion scintillated with bigness in every particular. The theatre and bill were big, likewise the audience and applause. It therefore follows by mathematical deduction that the receipts were big. Truly it was a big evening! night. The most gratifying Arrangement were in chap. Withers of the Branch of the by R. C. McHalton. Jesus manager. Too much p ered on Harri the Alhambra uable assistant behind the sta house. The ushers Curtis-McPho There were many contributing causes to help make the benefit a big success. Of course the advertised appearance of Bert Williams played a most important part. The renowned comedian of Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolic, despite his absence from colored attractions for nearly a decade, is yet a strong drawing card among his own people. The cordial and spontaneous greeting accorded him when he first set foot on the stage must have filled his heart with elation, and when he walked off the stage at the end of his act, after responding to encores, even the cork did not hide the genuine smile of satisfaction that flitted across his countenance. Mr. Williams told two funny jokes, sang a tuneful war number and as an encore rendered his old hit, "In the Evening," doing the poker game in pantomime. As he concluded his performance amid salvos of applause, he was presented with a large bunch of flowers, the gift of the "Association" which is composed of young men residing in Harlem. Ford Dabney accompanied Mr. Williams on the piano. The comedian was followed by Private Irving Berlin of the National Army, who came all the way from Camp Upton to appear at the benefit. He, too, was given a hearty ovation. Private Berlin sang one of his latest compositions. Ranking next to Bert Williams as applause-getters were the Courtney Sisters, who scored heavily in their songs. Then there were J. Rosamond Johnson, Miller & Lyles, the Hanlon Brothers, "Lucky" and Roberts, McMahon Sisters, Ben Welch, Wilbur Sweatman, Grindel and Esther, Armstrong and James, Bissett and Bestoy, George Murray and Chappelle and Stenette, all of whom were well received by an audience that was most generous in its expression of approbation throughout the evening. The show was opened with a new Pathe war picture. James J. Morton, well known as a monologist, officiated as announcer. Mr. Morton is one of the wittiest announcers that ever announced, and his dry humor helped to make those sitting and standing forget the mid-summer temperature. The Cleft Club Orchestra, Fredk. M. Bryan, conductor, with Marie Lucas, assistant conductor and pianist, was in the pit. The work of the musicians was correctly summed up by one of the Courtney Sisters, who, coming off the stage said: "That bunch can play some. They certainly are cutting up with our numbers." During intermission Fred R. Moore made a brief and spirited speech introducing Thomas E. Taylor, secretary of the Colored Men's Branch of the Y M. C. A. Mr. Taylor made an appeal for subscriptions. He told of the campaign being conducted to raise funds to rush to completion the building now in process of erection in 135th street, which will be made the headquarters for soldiers coming to New York. night. The financial response was most gratifying. · Arrangements for the benefit were in charge of Dr. Benj. T. Withers of the Colored Men's Branch of the Y: M. C. A., assisted by R. C. McPherson and Lester A. Walton. Jesse A. Shipp was stage manager. Too much praise cannot be showered on Harry Bailey, manager of the Alhambra Theatre, for the valuable assistance he rendered both behind the stage and in front of the house. The ushers were Dr. Gertrude Curtis-McPherson, Mrs. Nora Johnson, Mrs. Lena Tyers, Mrs. Pearl Jones, Mrs. Benj. T. Withers, Mrs. Ovis Blake, Mrs. Bessie Miller, Mrs. Gene Ramil, Mrs. Ruth Sanford, Miss Ruth Bass, Miss Blossom Lewis,' Miss Henrietta Smith, Miss Ida Lassiter, Miss S. Connelly and Miss Wilhelmina Adams. The program ladies were Mrs. Lillian Angrum, Mrs. Edith Wilson, Mrs. Marie McDowell, Mrs. Gladys F. Walton, Mrs. Lilla Hart, Mrs. Minnie Brown, Miss Kate Wilson and Miss Marion Moore. TEACHING THE OLD PLANTATION MELODIES TEACHING THE OLD PLANTATION MELODIES The following article recently appeared in the Atlanta Constitution. It appeared under the signature of Louise Dooly, a member of that paper's editorial staff: For a woman from the Northwest to come to Atlanta to teach the Negro in the South how to sing old plantation melodies, the spirituals, the racial or religious laments which form their folk music might seem at first blush an incongruous situation. But the writer, willing to be persuaded otherwise, went to a rehearsal of a big chorus under such direction Friday night, and it had not progressed more than ten minutes before the situation was made plain. Would it ever occur to most people that the way to teach the colored people the racial music of their ancestors, a musical institution threatened with becoming obsolete, would be through the most modern and approved method of voice culture? And yet that is just what Azalia Hackley, who is a finished musician of their own race, has done. The chorus is made up largely of young men and women. Practically all of them during all their lives have been as far removed from plantation life and knowledge of the traditions of their people of ante-bellum days as the young white people of the South are out of touch with the traditions of the white people of the Old South. And so, the singing of the spirituals, the typical music of what is, after all, a by-gone day, must be a revival, not a continuance, of the songs of the plantation, the camp meeting. It is feeling that must be the foundation of any art, and that is what Mme. Hackley has spent much of her time here in inducting into her pupils. She has taught them the musical meaning of the diaphragm, if this paradoxical expression may be allowed to pass muster. That is, that you don't sing from your heart as long as your diaphragm is dormant. And when she has taught her chorus that the singing muscles must work properly; that the diaphragm, the ribs, must rise before there is that deep intake of breath which is the invicible accomplishment of any expression of deep feeling, either of grief or joy, she has taught her singers the first and biggest principle of the old spell-binding art of the Negro in his musical melodies, his haljuhah songs, as in his laments. On Friday night a rehearsal of the Atlanta chorus took place at the colored Congregational Church; Dr. Proctor, pastor. The proceeds of the festival will go toward the completion and support of the working girls' home and training school which is a part of the institutional work of the church. Mme. Hackley, who is of the race of her pupils, held the pulpit platform, and not even a Billy Sunday could have injected more of "pep" into her instructions. A piano was her first aid, and seated or standing she used it with equal ease, although in most of the songs merely to provide the pitch, until there was rehearsed one of the haunting good-by melodies for which the gentle piano accompaniment is like moonlit waters flowing under a scarcely moving boat. With sopranos, she sang at one moment, and then dropped her voice until it seemed, almost to reach the rolling depth of the bassos, as she gave them at actual demonstration of how the "Jordan" old roll. infuse itself into the most weared figure under her expressive hands—she used no baton—gave her instruction infinite variety, and secured wonderful results. The finished concerts can scarcely afford the interest, however weird and haunting and beautiful their music promises to be, as did the rehearsal, bringing out as it did the twentieth century technical methods reviving the instinctive art of a by-gone age. But they will be well worth the attendance of every Atlantan. And the purpose of the concert, which is the valiant effort of the colored people to help themselves, to bring about the conditions which they desire as much as the white people wish for them, makes the reason still greater for a big patronage from both races.

TENNIS NOTES The week of August 17-24 bids fair to be a gala week in tennis circles. There will be visiting tennis players from all parts of the country and the competition for the valuable prizes offered will be quite keen Tally Holmes, the former champion, is now in the service of Uncle Sam and the question as to who will succeed him as champion this year is the sole topic among the devotees of the raquet game. Will it be a local man? Will another visitor take away the beautiful trophies? Not if the earnest practice and constant "plugging" of the local players mean anything. New Yorker's mean business this year more than ever and there may be quite a disappointed collection of visitors at the end of that week Miss Slowe, the lady champion, must also look to her laurels, as the ladies' tournament just completed exhibited a surprising advancement among the ladies, and they are out to take the champion's scalp.

HOMESTEAD Hot Springs, Va.-Last Friday and Saturday, July 26 and 27, the Stars and Glants clashed in a two-game series. The visitors got away with the first contest by the score of 7 to 6, marking the local's first defeat on the home grounds this season. The Giants played a poor defensive game and threw in many chances to win. In the second battle, the Giants out for "sweet revenge" and coming back strong, took the visitors into camp by the score of 9 to 6. Allen, the Giants "speed ball king," pitched a strong game, holding the Stars safe in the final. 12 A Scene from "The Boss" at Lafayette Theatre week of Aug. 5. both games from the grand stand, for hired ankle kick out of the lineup. J. D. Rausford was placed in charge. ment, and trustee of Atlanta Uni- city. R. W. Thompson, of the offe the lineup of the teams follows: STOCK COMPANY TO PRESENT "THE BOSS" Edward Sheldon's "The Boss," will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre next week. "The Boss" is an American play, racy of the soil, and is told in the crisp, biting American style. It grips and keeps hold. It is sound with flesh and blood characters, dealing with vital conditions in a powerful manner. "The Boss' appeals to everybody, regardless of age, sex or condition. It is significant that women are ardent admirers of this play and that as a matinee attraction it rivals any offering of pure sentiment or romance that the American stage has known for years, and this is because women, young and old, are alert to its portrayal of the real man's love for his wife. The play tells the story of how a wife's antagonism and virtual dishie is, little by little, turned into love and admiration, and how a man, purified by defeat and heart worry, ultimately develops the best that is in him. AMERICAN GIANTS DEFEAT A. B. C. NINE WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28.—The Chicago American Giants won handily over the Indianapolis (Ind.) "A B C" team by a score of 6 to 1 at American League Park, on July 28. The game was decidedly interesting throughout, and the Hoosiers, while outplayed, were not nearly so badly beaten as the box score would seem to indicate. The Chicago boys captured four hits off Pitcher Williams—two in the fourth, netting two runs, and two in the seventh, when the Hoosiers bunched their errors and four runs passed over the plate. These were the only innings in which Williams was scored upon. He gave way in the middle of this "fatal seventh" to Charleston, who held the opposition runless during the remainder of the game. Wickware played a strong game for Chicago and allowed but two hits, which came in the first inning, on which the Hoosiers made their single run. Both teams had men left on bases and the pitchers' record in some close stages of the game were saved by sharp fielding, some fine catches being made in the outfield by both contenders. Bases on balls were frequent, but the gift-chasers failed in most cases to figure in the run-column and little real damage was done. B. Taylor for the Hoosiers and Grant for the Chicago made some sensational stops at first, while Mendez and Clark at short cut off a lot of possible scores for their respective teams. The "rooting" was about evenly divided and 8,000 good-natured "fans" were in a mood to be happy no matter which aggregation carried home the bacon. Judge Robert H. Terrell pitched the first ball and registered a "strike" amid tumultuous applause by his myriads of local admirers. He was "official host" and in his "royal box" were seated the following well-known leaders of the nation's capital: Judge Robert H Terrell, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia; Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, F. C. Williams, librarian of Howard University; Ralph W Teller, secretary of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort committee; Henry P Slaughter, editor of the Odd Icelandic Journal; Dr A.

Pastor Bolden said that 'the major portion of the chapter had a direct portion of the present war. While the whole of it, he claimed that certain nations had used these passages as part of their military manual, preparing themselves for this day and the days to follow. Why other nations appear to he failures in this crisis, is due to their true teachings of the prophets; they were in unrestful, pleasurable, and money making. He said that the colo- orde people as a whole were peddlers of error and drifters on the sea of life and wherever any individual among them attempted to anchor down by digitation of the Holy Spirit, there were those who sought to cut his anchor loose. At the 8 o'clock service, in continu- ing this discussion he said that Micah 1 to 5 showed what we should hope for and may expect at the close of this terrible time, and the dawn of a new day.
