TELLS OF THE EMPLOYMENT OF NEGRO TROOPS BY FRENCH The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOME. Senegales and Soudanese Distinguish Themselves in World War. NO "COLOR LINE" French Officer Says Colored Soldiers of France are Received Exactly the Same as White Soldiers—Foreign Colored Troops cannot be Compared with Colored Americans who are Products of Civilization. EDITOR'S NOTE—The following article was written by Col. Edouard Requin of the High Military Commission, Embassy, Washington, D.C., Colored Requin in ten years or more, was in charge of the French Colonial troops in Senegal and was in charge of an important division of the colored troops at the first battle of the Marne in 1914. Colored Requin of the General Pecha's command whereby a division of troops was mastered out of the frontal attack with the money to another part of the field, taking the money on the banks. He attended the recent conference of officers and other race leaders at Washington, D.C. BY COL EDWARD REQUIN France has had colored troops ever since it has had colonies. These troops have participated in all our expeditions overseas; they have been the best instrument of our colonial expansion. Algerian troops (Arabs and Kabyles) fought in France in 1870-71 against Germany. But it was for the first time, in 1914, that black troops (Senegales and Soudanese) took part in the European war against an enemy as doubtable as Germany. If it is asked what has been the results of this experience there is only one answer; they have been excellent. The black troops of Africa are grouped either by battalions or by regiments with our colonial French troops. The reason is that the colonial officers understand them thoroughly and that the men themselves, in fighting together in the colonies, have acquired a mutual confidence in each other. Recruited among the warrior tribes of Senegal and the Soudan, these troops have great combatant qualities. They are particularly apt for attack and counter-attack, but they are primitive men, without civilization—men who cannot be compared from this point of view with colored Americans. The black French soldiers are excellent commanders, but they are less prepared in the use of the machine gun and the automatic rifle, which demand a certain mechanical aptitude. They receive the same instructions as the French soldiers; these instructions are given to them by white officers and noncommissioned officers who understand them well, and who for this reason ought to be changed as little as possible. Devoted to Officers. The characteristic of the black soldiers is an entire devotion to those officers who have merited it and whom will never abandon. In other words the valor of the colored unit depends essentially on grouping and leadership. Colored troops won distinction for themselves at Dixmude in 1914; at Verdun on the Somme in 1917; on the Avene and more recently still in the counter attack which forced back the Germans north of Copeigne. These troops are not only devoted to their officers. They are equally devoted to France, whom they serve most lovingly and to the flag which represents France. The following example may be cited as an illustration. One day in 1916, on the Mediterranean, a transport carrying a battalion of Bengalese was torpeded by a Boche submarine. It was impossible to save everybody. The last who remained on board lined the deck, saluted the flag, and went to the bottom with a discipline and a self-abnegation which must remain an example to all the world. It is because these soldiers are just as brave and just as devoted as white soldiers that they receive exactly the same treatment, every man being equal before the death which all soldiers face. In the French Army white and black wounded soldiers are cared for in the same hospital by the same personal so that just as we have delivered these black men from African barbarianism, we have given them civilization and justice; it is their duty in turn to defend among us that justice and that civilization against Russian barbarianism. I recall a design in the Prints and Draws Illustration, which The New York Age sents a Senegalese guarding some German prisoners. This black soldier said with a smile to a visitor who approached to see the Boches: "I suppose you have come to see the savages, is it not so?" There was in this irony which the artist placed in the black man's mouth an infinitude of truth. Accustomed to Hot Climate. There is one difficulty which presents 'itself in connection with colored' French troops—a difficulty which results from the climate. The blacks of Senegal are accustomed to a very hot climate and stand our winters very badly, so the French Command, anxious to conserve their health, sends them during the winter to the camps in the south of France, or to Algeria. This inconvenience, however, is only relative; for the black soldiers perfect their instructions in the southern camp and in spring once more take their place in combat beside the white soldiers. To sum up, it may be said that contrary to the opinion so often stated in times of peace by the adversaries of the colonial expansion necessary to every modern state, the French colonies, far from enfeebling the military effort of the metropolis in face of the common enemy, have on the contrary augmented that power. Not a single territory which we occupied in Africa or in Asia has been abandoned. No serious revolt by German agents. All those colonies have given up volunteers—Arabs, Kabyles, Moroccans, Tunisians, by hundreds of thousands, Senegalese, Madagascans, Somalis, and even Indo-Chinese, have come to fight on French soil in order to defend the liberty of which they have learned under our aegis to appreciate all the benefits. The fact that certain countries like Morocco, not yet pacified, furnish us with soldiers taken from the faithful tribes, and tribes that we outselves fought only yesterday is one of the most extraordinary illustrations that could be cited. All this honors those men who are in charge of the organization of these colonies and the methods which they apply there. It shows equally what prodigious faculty of assimilation the French possess. If one considers that in North Africa the Mohammedan group has been essentially refractory to all foreign intervention, the voluntary participation of colored men in the defense of French soil consecrates definitely the motivating principles of our expansion. It is wholly apart from every question of national interest, and solely from the point of view of humanity and morals that the role played by France outside of France itself receives its noblest justification. NEW CANTEEN IS OPENED IN HARLEM The canteen house of Haywood Unit No. 14, for soldiers and sailors, at 2388 Seventh avenue, was formally opened last Saturday evening and was attended by colored and white war workers in large numbers. Young women in uniform spared no effort to make every one comfortable. After dedicatory prayer by the Rev. F. M. Hyder, R. G. Doggett, master of ceremonies introduced Mrs. Hetty Johnson, who told of her efforts to establish a canteen at 2388 7th aven MR8. HETTY JOHNSON ue, and praised Mrs. Henry Gennert, Mrs. Bonn Barber and Mrs. Dick for their valuable assistance. Mrs. Marius McGuffey, director of the Volunteer Bureau, and a representative of the New York War Camp Community Service, gave an inspiring address. Dance music was furnished by Mrs. Ruby Mason and Mr. Haywood. A delightful musical program was furnished, in which the songs of Negro writers were rendered. The clientele contains social rooms, bedrooms and hallard tables, dinning rooms, and backyard yards. MORE OFFICERS ARE NEEDED Regiments at Camp Dix and Camp Moade Said to be Officered by White Men. 400 ARE NOW IN TRAINING Number of Colored Men Receiving Instructions for Officers' Commissions Thought to be Inadequate in View of Thousands of Negroes Being Called to Colors. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. CAMP DIX, N. J.—It is evident to all colored draftees that the colored regiments to be stationed here will be officered by white men. Up to a short time ago the spectacle of colored captains and lieutenants marching at the head of their respective companies was a common sight, but from present indications the artillery and infantry regiments, made up of colored draftees, will have all white officers. But Camp Dix is not the only cantonment where the colored commissioned officer is conspicuous by his absence. At Camp Meade, Md., commissioned officers and many of the non-commissioned officers of colored units are white. It is estimated that up to August 5 of this year over 300,000 colored men have been called to the colors. Of this number 1,000 have been commissioned as officers. It is said that nearly 400 colored men are being trained for commissions, but this number will not go very far toward officering colored regiments with Negroes. Colored men are being trained at the following camps for commissions: Camp Pike, Ark., infantry; Camp Taylor, artillery, and Camp Hancock, machine gun. White officers who aspire to command colored troops have been heard to remark that colored men did not make good officers because many Negroes from the South were not used to taking orders from their own people. This was one of the absurd arguments made months ago when the question of establishing an officers' training camp for Negroes was under consideration. The fallacy of such a contention was shown by the remarkable showing of the 367th, 368th and other regiments with colored officers. SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED BY RECREATION CLUB The first dance of the Soldier's and Sailor's Recreation Club of the Music School Settlemen was given last Saturday evening from 9 to 11.30, and a committee of ladies was in attendance to welcome the soldiers. Music for the occasion was donated by the guitar and man dolin club of the school William H. Butler, leader, Willie and Miss Cecelia Butler, assisting. The recreation club is making extensive arrangements to provide visiting soldiers and sailors with a reading room, baths and one night's lodging. Plans are under way to give Sunday musicales for the soldiers. Prominent artists have volunteered their services. The regular Saturday night dance for soldiers and sailors is open to the public ENRAGED SOUTHER HOME OF JERSEY ENRAGED SOUTHERN SOLDIERS VISIT HOME OF JERSEY CITY PHYSICIAN Special to The New York Age. JERSEY CITY, N. J.—Taking exceptions to the published statements of Dr. George E. Cannon, who protested against the ruffianism of white soldiers from the South last week, a number of Southern troopers went to the home of the physician in a body and threatened to do him violence. When the soldiers called Dr Cannon detailed to guard the Cannon home was out on a case. The police were notified of the attempt to intimidate the physician by members of his family and a detail was sent to arrest the would-be disturbers of the peace. Upon the arrival of the police the soldiers had dispersed. An officer was MAKE GOOD ON TOBACCOFIELDS Young Colored Men from the Southern Colleges Spend a Profitable Vacation. Boys in Their Teens are Paid $2.50 and towards a Day and Sleeping Quarters Furnished Without Cost—Railroad Transportation is Advanced One Way. Special to The New York Age HARTFORD, CUM—Negro labor from the South has become the mainstay of the tobacco industry in and about Hartford; and what is more, many of the workers on plantations are young men from well known Negro institutions of learning in the Southland. This is the third season in which Negro labor has been used on a large scale in this section. Until the summer of 1916 it was an unusual sight to see a colored person working on any of the tobacco plantations. But in that year J. D. Luddy induced the members of the association to experiment with Negro labor, as hundreds of Poles had left the various plantations for munition factories. Several hundred colored boys from Southern schools and colleges were brought to the Hartford plantations, and they exceeded Manager Lundy's expectations. They also long before the tobacco owners were singing the praises of these young men who were "killing two birds with one stone"—taking an enjoyable vacation in the North and at the same time earning money to defray their expenses through school. Last summer over seven hundred young men from the different schools and colleges in the South worked on the plantations. This year about 650 are combining business with pleasure. They are from Howard University, Tuskegee Institute, Shaw University, Hampton Institute, Atlanta University, Georgia State College, High Point Industrial School, Morehouse College, and Tallahassee Agricultural and Mechanical Institute. Tobacco raising is one of Hartford's chief industries. In Hartford County $10,000,000 worth of tobacco is raised yearly, and these young college men from the Southland have become a very important factor in this industry, classed as an essential by the War Department. On Saturday, August 3, a party consisting of Fred R. Moore and Lester A. Walton of THE AGE, Prof J E. K. Aggrey of Livingstone College, Eugene Kincick Jones, James H. Hubert and J. D Saunders, representatives of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, paid a visit to the Hartford tobacco plantations as the guests of Manager J. D Luddy. The young men expressed themselves well pleased with conditions and the relations between employer and employee appeared to be of the best In many instances they sleep in tents with flooring. The food is palatable and after working all day in the tobacco fields no one is asked to conserve the food put before him. In fact, each person is told to eat all he wants. The buildings occupied by some of the colored help are clean airy buildings, generally two stories high with dining and living rooms on the first floor and dormitory on the second. The visitor finds the rooms well kept and the dishes and cutlery shining. The young men from the South are paid their transportation one way and receive an average of $2.50 a day with sleeping quarters furnished free. On some of the plantations these school boys are paid a bonus if they remain until October 1. Manager Luddy informed his guests that although $25,000 was advanced in ERN-SOLDIERS VISIT CITY PHYSICIAN New York Act. accepts to the published statements tested against the ruffianism of white a number of Southern troopers went dy and threatened to do him violence. detailed to guard the Cannon home.

On one occasion several were cut in a fight when two colored men were insulted COLORED TROOPERS FROM UNITED STATES MAKE GREAT RECORD AS BAYONET FIGHTERS IN BIG DRIV transportation to bring the young colored men from the South, there were only two cases on record wherein the parties failed to put in their appearance at Hartford after tickets had been placed in their hands. The two in question remained in New York City. On the Hartford tobacco plantations are found teachers in prominent Southern schools, who, like the boys, are lending a profitable vacation. They are serving in the capacity of superintendents, and exercise an influence for good over the youngsters both on and off the tobacco field. There are students from the College of the City of New York and from Columbia University employed on some of the tobacco plantations, but Manager Luddy declares that the colored students from the Southland make the best showing. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is playing a most important part in furnishing the Hartford tobacco growers with Negro labors. BAPTIST AUXILIARIES HOLD JOINT SESSION The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. auxiliary to the New York Colored Baptist State Convention met with the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. of the Union Baptist Church, 204-6 West 63d street, the Rev. G. H. Sims pastor, July 25 and 26, in its thirteenth annual session. Mrs. John Madden delivered a special welcome address on behalf of the home Sunday School; response by Miss Marie Taylor, of Staten Island; welcome to the community by Miss Birdy Haynes; response by George Crawley, of New York. Mrs. G. Richardson, president of the Women's Auxiliary, and Dr. Sims, president of the convention made encouraging talks. The president's annual address was full of helpful suggestions. Prof R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia Theological Sminary and College, delivered an inspiring address along educational lines. He was accompanied by a quartet of jubilee singers from the seminary, who rendered pleasing selections. The officers of the convention elected were as follows: President, Mr W. H. Johnson; first ice-president, Mr. J. S. Savage, second vice-president, Mr F. G. Warner; recording secretary Miss L. I. Price; assistant recording secretary, Miss Frances Boddie; corresponding secretary, Miss B. A. Tucker; teasurer, the Rev. H D. Strotter; the Rev. S W Smith, chairman of the board of managers. The service flags show that 362 members of the convention are fighting for democracy. -- On Friday evening a sacred concert was given by the delegates from the various churches, with Miss Frances Boldie in charge. The Financial Committee reported $381.33 raised from all sources during the session. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—Perhaps the first and only chapter of the Red Cross among the colored people was organized at Tuskegee Institute last week. Dr Moton, principal of the institute received word some time ago that the Gulf Division of the Red Cross had received authority to establish the chapter at Tuskegee Institute. A preliminary meeting was held at Principal Moton's residence, and the following officers were elected: Dr. R. R. Moton, chairman; Mrs. Booker W. Washington, vice-chairman; Warren Ligan, treasurer; Mrs. B. B. Walcott, secretary; Chas H. Gibson, chairman of Finance Committee. BUFFALO DRAFTEES HAVE SPECIAL DINER Fine New York (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) Buffalo, N. Y.-Buffalo did itself proud in the splendid parade and camp on Saturday. Four thousand men, women and children paraded, with two full brass bands. The Business League headed by C. E. Ford, the Camp Dix Club of young ladies, led by Miss Dent St. Philip's Patriotic League and Red Cross workers in uniform, headed by Mrs. Morris; the Girl Scouts, led by Mrs. E. R Bennett and Miss Clara Payne, and Troop S8 B. S. A., headed by Scoutmasters Bennett and Wright, acted as the official escort. Dr. Bruso, chairman of the draft board, was at the head of the drafted boys. A special train with dining car laden with good things was provided the boys. The streets of the city were thronged at the early hours to bid the boys Godspeed. - According to despatches from London, Negro soldier's from the United States have been declared to be the greatest of all bayonet fighters by the French. The consensus of opinion here is that placed Americans to make such an enviable reputation are the Williams from New York and the 8th Illinois, who are brigaded with the RACE PLAYS BIG PART Special to the New York Times Boston, Mass. Although much has been said in the daily press about Governor McCain presenting a shield of honor to the little town of Gay Head for having sent to war a larger percentage of its population into the service of Uncle Sam than any other city or town in all the six New England States, very little has been mentioned about this town being made up largely of Negroes. It was significant that in the pictures showing the participants in the celebration, the colored American was more in evidence than all others. WASHINGTON, D. C.-Much has been done to break down the prejudice of many bureau chiefs who refuse to accept colored stenographers, male and female, when they are assigned to them, mostly from out of town. Recently a young woman came all the way from Kentucky, having passed the civil service examination in her home city, and, being ordered here, was passed on from one department to another until she became tired and disgusted with the shuttle-shuttle business. She was fortunate enough to get her case into the hands of a woman who had some influence and finally placed. Another case bobbed up last week when a young school teacher from Baltimore was ordered here, but was refused work by several of the bureau chiefs. Bureau chiefs should have no power to turn down a person on the color pretext, when such person is referred to them by the Civil Service Commission NEW ROCHELLE LAD WITH BRITISH ENGINEERS Special to THE NEW YORK ACE NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y.-The Dumas Musical and Literary Club of the Chapel of St Sunon The Cyrianen (Episcopal) dedicated a service flag last Sunday evening in honor of Ernest Brown who is now in France serving under the British Engineers Corps. Young Brown graduated with honor from the New Rochelle High School this year. He belonged to the baseball and basketball teams. Last year he represented the school in the speakers' contest participated in by the high schools throughout Westchester County and won. That entitled him to represent Westchester County's high schools in the State contest, which was held at Columbia University, New York City and he won first honors. He was the JOHN H. HARRIS president and founder of the Dumas Literary Club. The club, the chapel and the colored citizens of New Rochelle feel proud of his achievements and believe that he will make good in fighting the Huns. The Rev C Canterbury Corbin was the speaker of the evening. Special music was rendered. The chapel was crowded to the doors. Samuel J. Davis was instrumental in having young Brown come to this country and employed him on the League Journal as a printer and has advised and carefully watched over him since. The despatch from Texas, reads: American Negentum Sunday in Os- with the arr- east of Berry Russell, 18 Dowd street, marked was in the city Friday at bayonet the draitees' reception, and Mrs. Fred Van Ingle of new York and daughter, Dorothy, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Willi- iams, 602 Orange street, Mr. V. Ingle was formerly Miss of fighting, and have broken all bayonet records on the western front. So pleased are French com- manders with the work of these men from the United States that all Negro regiments arriving from America will receive hearty wel- comes to the fighting lines. Private Henry Johnson and Private Needham Roberts, of the old 15th, showed the Germans how Negro soldiers could effectively use the bolo knife and now our colored troopers are causing consternation in the ranks of the Hun with the bayonet. For drawing the color line, thereby violating the new Civil Rights Act, the managers of the New York Exposition, conducted at East 177th street, The Bronx, are facing a number of damage suits. One of the probable plaintiffs is Police Officer Rhodes, who had an unusual experience at this summer resort. Several evenings ago Police Officer Rhodes, being off duty, decided to try and forget the heat by visiting the New York Exposition, which advertises sea water bathing, dancing, exhibits and entertainments. When the colored member of the New York Police Force sought to purchase a ticket, he was informed that no colored patrons were wanted. So insistent did he become in his efforts to gain admittance that a white police officer was called and told to arrest the intruder Rhodes was in citizen's clothes and unknown to his brother officer. He did not reveal his identity until the station house was reached. Rhodes was promptly recognized as the station house and immediately given his release. The officer who arrested him acted as he had been struck by a grenade and made all kinds of apologies. In the meantime the managers of the New York Exposition are trying to show the colored officer that a great mistake had been made. Rhodes says he thinks judge and jury will agree with the managers that a big mistake has been made and that someone will have to pay dearly for making it. ADVANCEMENT WORK GROWING IN CHARLESTON Special to The New York Ar SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK ACADEMY CHARLESTON, S. C.—The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, under the leadership of F. A. Harleston, has been very actively at work during the past few months. A drive for new members has succeeded in bringing the membership up to eight hundred with the hope and purpose of soon reaching the goal of one thousand. In a series of popular mass meetings held at the different colored churches, the history and the aims of the organization have been clearly stated to the people by able speakers. Matters of vital interest have been discussed. Improved educational facilities, better accommodations in theatres, fair treatment of our people on the street cars and legal protection for the members of our race from white criminals have been actively taken up. In a case here of the killing of a highly respected colored citizen by a street car conductor and another case of criminal assault upon a young colored girl by a white man, the association caused the arrest to be made, in both cases, and employed its own lawyers for the prosecution. The membership of this local branch now contains many of our leading business and professional men. The people are enthusiastic in its support. Through its efforts about two hundred colored women are now employed at the government clothing factory in this city.

When it is remembered that these expenses run into the billions, instead of millions as formerly, the magnitude of the task is apparent. However, the United States is a billion dollar country and undoubtedly a way will be found to raise all the money necessary to carry the war to a successful issue. Besides the new tax bill by which Congress proposes to raise in the neighborhood of eight billion dollars, another issue of Liberty Bonds is projected for this year. The drive of the Fourth Liberty Loan is announced to open September 28. It is understood that the rate of interest will be the same as on the third loan, $4 \frac{1}{4}$ per cent. The necessity for raising money in this manner is too obvious to require argument here. The bonds not only afford every citizen the opportunity to make his money fight for the country, but give him the best kind of security for the investment of his savings, with an interest return greater than that of the savings banks. There are but few wage earners who cannot put aside a dollar or more a week for Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps or Thrift Stamps. A little self-denial in the purchase of cigars, candy and ice cream cones will enable the individual to soon become the owner of a Thrift Stamp. With the habit of self-denial thus started the savings on self-indulgence and luxuries will soon fill the card of Thrift Stamps and promote the holder into the War-Savings certificate class. Graduation as a bondholder, not necessarily bloated, will inevitably follow. Not, the least of the blessings growing out of the war will be the teaching of thrift and economy to the people of this nation. And to no class of Americans should this lesson be of greater value than to the Negro. Let the race learn how to save and how to invest its savings with security. Buy a bond and help win the war. UNCLE SAM AS EMPLOYMENT AGENT. In addition to the various other activities placed under government control, by proclamation of the President, the recruiting of unskilled labor in war industries must now be done through the United States Employment Service, under the direction of the Department of Labor. No war industry can advertise for unskilled labor in any manner. The only exceptions to these regulations are farm labor and railroad labor. Unskilled labor may still be hired at the factory or plant gates, but it must be done under an authorization issued by the Employment Service. War industries are not permitted to recruit labor by labor scouts or through offices established for that purpose, except under a special permit. Owing to the fact that the Employment Service is not yet fully organized, so as to entirely cover the situation, permits will be issued to continue an existing office to secure help for some one firm; or permission may be granted a firm to locate an agent in any one of the offices of the Employment Service. Special attention is called to the fact that any firm doing war work is now prohibited from securing unskilled labor through fee-charging agencies or by soliciting on the streets or in public places by labor scouts. It is not intended that private labor agencies shall cease business entirely, but that they shall not furnish unskilled labor for concerns engaged in war industries. This extension of government control of the employment of labor is of special significance to Negroes as from their ranks is drawn a large quota of the unskilled workers of the country. It is a prime requisition that the workings of the system should be carried out on a basis of fair dealing and non-discrimination on account of race or color. There is therefore need for careful scrutiny in the selection of proper men to conduct this service, especially in the South, so as to insure fair treatment and avoid just cause for dissatisfaction. WAR PORTIONS A measure of conservation, intended to prevent the waste of food has been the serving of war portions by certain hotels and restaurants. This measure has been adopted by the railroad eating places and dining cars in a way that seems to be fair to the traveling public. Certain dishes on the bill of fare are marked with two prices, the war portion being about two-thirds of the price of the regular portion. The argument was that the regular portion demanded by the American public was in excess of the normal appetite and that in the majority of cases there was a remainder uneaten and wasted. There is, however, a class of food profiteers that serve war portions at regular prices, so that while the wayfarer may pay the same or an increased price, his ration is perceptibly smaller and the profit goes to the purveyor of food. This might be styled conservation for revenue only, the advantage of the system being solely for the benefit of the innkeeper. It adds another misdemeanor to the crimes committed in the name of Liberty. The Food Administration should devise a fitting punishment for such an abuse of the war portion system. It might sentence the offender to a term of subsistence on his own war portions or the donation of the amount of his profiteering to the Red Cross or the Circle for Negro War Relief. The war portion idea seems capable of being adapted to the social and family circle, with more or less satisfaction. The "bounteous collation" and "elegant repast" are making a strenuous effort to resist the advancing tide of "Hooverized lunchcous" and "war sandwiches" that threaten to take their place. But the restriction of flour, sugar and other food products will tend slowly but surely to the curtailment of undue indulgence in good eating. War portions will be the rule, instead of the exception. Waste will be reduced in food as well as waists in form. THE PRESIDENT ON MOB VIOLENCE. Wilen the news first came out of Washington that the President was going to make a statement to the country calling upon citizens everywhere to respect the restraints of law and order, it looked as though the statement was to be confined to cases of mob violence in which those accused or suspected of being enemy aliens were concerned. The original despatch said specifically that one particular episode had disturbed the President and the Cabinet very much; that was the hanging of Robert P. Prager, at Collinsville, Ill.; last April. It appeared that the Prager incident had been discussed in the German Reichstag and that Germany had contemplated sending a protest to the United States through diplomatic channels. Our State Department, however, never announced receiving one. It appeared also that our Government had learned that Germany had made wide and damaging use of the Prager case and others of a similar nature throughout Mexico and South America and even in Europe where propaganda had been at work to controvert the President's pronouncements of justice for all. President Wilson was reported as regarding the situation not only as a dangerous evil but as a disgrace. It is certain that the President has for a long time felt very keenly the danger and disgrace which mob violence in this country involved. And he also felt that this country could no longer give Germany any reason or even excuse for pointing the United States out to Mexico and South America as a nation guilty of ruthlessness and atrocities. It was this international aspect of the whole question which, undoubtedly, was the strongest reason impelling the President to issue his statement. But we are not concerned with the reasons why the President issued his statement, we are concerned only with the fact that he did issue it; and that in doing so, he covered not only the international but the national and local phases of the question. The President in his statement did not specifically refer to the lynching of Negroes in the South; and perhaps it is better that he did not specify, since he was able to make his meaning absolutely plain without specifying. We are glad he showed a realization of the fact that mobs would not be so ready to use violence against those suspected of being enemy aliens, if it were not for the fact that for so many years mobs have been allowed to use violence against Negroes suspected of crimes and even of acts which by no law could be adjudged as criminal. Mob violence against Negroes has been allowed absolute immunity for so long a time that these acts of lawlessness have grown to be a sort of National pastime, and their frequency has made the country callous to them. For these reasons it is a very easy thing to get up a mob, and a very difficult thing to arouse the country to a sense of the danger and disgrace which acts of mob violence entail. So in order to strike at the international danger and disgrace which lynching involves, it was necessary to strike at lynching which concerns us only nationally and locally, which, after all, is the root of the whole matter; and this the President did. But even from an international point of view, the lynchings of Negroes carry a greater danger and disgrace than the lynchings of foreigners. For purposes of German propaganda in Mexico and South America, the lynchings of Negroes can be used more effectively than the lynchings of German enemy aliens; because in time of war popular outbursts against seditious utterances and treasonable acts on the part of the enemy within may be somewhat condoned, but what excuse can be offered when American citizens torture and burn alive an American citizen charged with having killed two men in a street fight, as were the facts in the latest burning in Tennessee? The Germans could do more damage with a story like that than they could with the story that all the Hun spies in the United States had been done to death by mobs. These words from the President will do more to discourage and end lynching than any other means that could be put to use at this particular time. These words will put courage into the hearts of the Southern white people who stand for law and order, who have been endeavoring in an organized way for the past six months to fight lynching; and these words will also put fear into the hearts of the Southern bully and mob leader, for they are cowards at heart, and will not dare to run.counter to united public opinion. When the writer went with a delegation to President Wilson some months ago to plead for clemency for the condemned soldiers of the 24th Infantry, speaking for the delegation, he also asked the President to say something against the lynching of Negroes and said to him that his word would have added weight because of his Southern birth. The truth of that statement is borne out in the manner in which the Southern press has responded to the President's appeal. No Southern editor or official or citizen, however touchy he may be, will feel that the President in pointing the accusing finger at the Troup County, in Georgia, recently celebrated the first hanging of a white man within its borders. He had made the mistake of killing a sheriff and was tried and legally executed. It was also said to be the first time in the history of the county that a sheriff was killed in the discharge of his duty. If more sheriffs performed their duty in maintaining law and order in Georgia, there might be a few more officials killed in the performance of their duty, but on the other hand there would probably be more hangings of white men in Troup and other counties of the State. A subscriber in Florida, in renewing his subscription to THE AGE, makes this expression of his views: "I like the tone of your paper because it is plain as sunshine which way you are going." We are glad that the attitude of THE AGE in protesting against all forms of injustice, in all sections, practiced against the race, is thus clearly understood by our readers. But we think our correspondent does not do the majority of the Negro newspapers justice, when he adds that "many of the colored papers speak for the white man to their race." If there is one quality that has characterized our race papers, it is their unswerving and unequivocal advocacy of race interests. The number that has fallen short of the measure of full devotion to the cause they represent is so small as to render the exception conspicuous. South, is also pointing the finger of scorn, or assuming any holier than thou attitude. As an example: our readers will remember that only a few weeks ago we commented in this column upon an editorial in the Florida Times-Union which not merely apologized for lynching, but defended it. On the day following the President's appeal, the Times-Union came out in a long editorial in which, among other things, it said: President Wilson's appeal to Americans to abstain from mob violence and to compel abstinence from it expresses with an eloquence and a feeling that he has never surpassed. Every part of it is worthy of quotation and repetition until its lessons are fully driven home. * * * This covers mob violence of every kind whether inflicted on a supposed German sympathizer or on a Negro who has been accused of an unspeakable crime. There are agencies through which justice can be done in both classes of cases and there is no certainty that justice will be done by a mob which acts on impulse rather than reason. The newspapers of the land can add no weight to the appeal of the President, but it is as much their duty to do their part in this matter as in any other. We have laws to cover all cases. The Negro who is lynched would be convicted and visited with the extreme penalty if evidence of his guilt were so completely furnished as to constitute proof and surely no sane man wishes to inflict punishment without proof. If the President's appeal has brought about such a change of sentiment in the Times-Union, it can easily be seen what a strengthening effect it will have upon those Southern papers which have for some time been making a fight against lynching and standing for law and order. President Wilson has said much on democracy since the war began, but to our minds this statement on democracy here at home in the United States is the greatest he has yet uttered. No one can say that it is mere rhetoric; it deals with a practical, concrete question of the denial of democracy here under our own flag. Some of the things he said are things which The Age and other Negro papers have been saying ever since our country entered the war. For instance: We proudly claim to be the champions of democracy. If we really are, in deed and in truth, let us see to it that we do not discredit 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. How 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 flairs 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. For the past year The Age has been boldly declaring that it was no violation of ethics or chivalry nor did it show any lack of patriotism for the Negro to demand that the nation practice at home the democracy for which it was fighting abroad, and for which he himself was helping to fight; for the past year The Age has been pointing out that the torturing and lynching of black Americans by Americans laid the country liable to the charge of hypocrisy in its pronouncements about democracy; and here President Wilson has said the same things. We hope the President will not stop at this point, but will speak out against other phases of the denial of common democracy here at home. These words of the President, as strong and clear as they are, can be driven still deeper if the governor of each State will reissue them as a proclamation, just as is done with the Thanksgiving proclamation Indeed, it would be well if all the sheriffs in every State would have the President's statement reprinted in large letters and nailed to the door of the court house in each county. NEWS NOTES. There is some talk of organizing a colored regiment in the new Texas National Guard. The Crispus Attucks Guide is the name of Philadelphia's newest newspaper, edited by Thomas Wallace Swann. Attorney T. Gillis Nutter is making an active campaign for the Republican nomination for the West Virginia State Legislature. Attorney Cleon W. Brown, of Elizabeth City, N. J., has been chosen grand legal adviser of the North Carolina Lodge of Knights of Pythias. In St. Louis, Mo., colored women are taking the place of men as bell boys, elevator operators and laborers in lumber yards, due to the scarcity of male help. According to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Association of Colored Women, $5,000,000 was raised for the third loan by the colored women of the country. Richard D. Stinson, principal Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute for training colored youths, is on a trip through the West with headquarters at Chicago, in the interest of his work. In the Third Senatorial District in Illinois, the following Negroes are aspirants for a seat in the Legislature from the Second Ward: A. H. Kolberts, W. G. Anderson, Warren Douglas, James Simms and D. R. Robinson. Shelby County, Tennessee, believes Negro education worth providing for. Last winter the County Board of Education appropriated $60,000 for twenty-five new public schools for colored children, all of which are to be opened this fall. Shelby has a county training school for Negro teachers, maintained by the county board and the Slater Fund. The Person County, N. C. Board of Education has raised the salary of every colored teacher in the county within the year. The board recently offered for improvements at one colored school more than asked by the county superintendent. The extra amount was declined on the ground that the colored people wanted to give a part of the money needed. --- St. Louis is to have a first class colored hospital. It is to be located at 3447-49 Pine street. The deal was negotiated between Burton McGinnis, representing the American Hospital, and Hutchins Inge, representing the People's Hospital.

HAIRSTON GIVE $25,000 TO SLATER INDUSTRIAL AND NORMAL WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.—The white people of Winston-Salem, N. C. have recently expressed themselves on Negro education in a somewhat spectacular fashion. The Slater Industrial and Normal School for colored students is located here and has about five hundred students yearly. Founded by the Slater Board, it has been taken over by the State of North Carolina as one of its three normal schools for Negroes. It has been in operation twenty-five years—long enough to be tested by its results. The school needed a new building for its industrial and agricultural departments, and through the efforts of the county's State Senator the Legislature appropriated $10,000 on condition of an equal sum being raised outside. The General Education Board offered half of this. Then the Mayor of Winston-Salem, of his own motion, called together some forty of the leading white citizens. He proposed that, in view of the value of the school's work "to Winston-Salem and the entire State," the white citizens of the city should give it $10,000 in proof of their appreciation of its constructive work, and of the spirit and character of its principal, S. G. Atkins. The proposal was heartily endorsed, and the $10,000 quickly raised. The total amount, $25,000, was presented to the school at its recent twenty-fifth commencement. Gov. Bickitt of North Carolina delivered the commencement address to an audience of both race and added his testimony to the school's moral and economic value to the. The students and teachers, to show their appreciation of these gifts, and of the school, have undertaken to raise $5,000 more, about half of which is already subscribed. SIGNS OF PROGRESS WASHINGTON, D. C.—The earth may not be square and the sun may not move, as the late John Jasper of Richmond insisted, but it is a fact that Charlie Lee advertises in one of our newspapers that he has opened a Chinese-American restaurant on Seventh street, Northwest, to which he extends the following invitation: "Come, all nations of the earth, and be fed, all funds of Chinese and American dishes." William Hahn & Co., the great shoe dealers, have advertised in one of our newspapers for "a young and intelligent colored man as assistant clerk in the stock department, one willing to work; good pay to the right man" Good openings for our men and women, never before opened to them, are cropping out every day, and will continue to do so.

Bennett pre-created a dignified protest to the editor of the News, one of the leading evening papers, who published a ridiculous article on its front page, purporting to be a writep of the great sendoff given the drafted box. The editor satisfied the ministers that no intent of rihcule was intended, and that he did not see the article before it was printed or he would have killed it. As usual the blame falls on some smart ack of a cracker who is trying to introduce southern methods. HAVE IT HOUSE IN ORDER. NEW YORK Evening World. The President appeals to the country to make an end of lynchings and like manifestations of mob lawlessness which furnish Germany with material for calumny against the United States which "the most gifted German lords cannot improve upon." The appeal, to a people who are at this moment the militant champions of law and justice, is timely. As the President says: "How 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?" There were thirty-two lynchings in the United States last year, exclusive of the forty or more Negroes put to death by mobs during the wars at St. Louis. Lynchings in 1910 called fifty-five. The year before that there were seventy-eight. The total number of lynchings in the United States from 1885 to December 31, 1915 was 368. There has been improvement in the record, but there should be no such record. Not even diminishing figures should have to be entered against this form of lawlessness year after year in the nation's annuals. The United States is now fighting the greatest fight in all history for liberty, order and justice. When the victory is won there will be no stronger force to assure genuine freedom, self-determination, and security to the peoples of the world than the force which comes from the example, the success and the virtue and protective power of American democracy. Let that democracy have its house in order. More than ten thousand of Washington's most representative citizens will be attending the American League Park Sunday afternoon last between New York and Chicago in a game that will be attended by many by big league players had to admit that the boys in play played a "regular" game.

We herewith announce that on June 10th, books open for the subscription of Citizens Trust Company stock, a half million dollar bank and trust company. This corporation is to be, by far, the LARGEST SOUNDEST and FAR-REACHING financial institution we have yet attained. From the needs of such an institution that exist, we believe that the time is ripe for the launching of such an enterprise and that it will meet the want which has become widely recognized for the existence of a properly managed Trust and Banking Institution. Our people are aroused to the gravity of this war and have contributed freely of their moral and financial support, and can, through an institution of this kind, render a great service to the Government in encouraging the purchase of Liberty Bonds and other Government securities. At the same time, we must keep in mind that today we are in the midst of unparalleled prosperity, that after the suspension of the present destruction, we will enter into period of construction by far greater than the world has ever seen and we shall branch and grow stronger financially and be recognized by those of commuting power and position, but it will mean little to the race unites we have the organized facilities of an institution like the Citizens Trust Company. The organization, while located in Atlanta, will be NATIONAL in its scope and the selling of the Company's stock will be widely distributed. It is evident that such a course will add greatly to the Company's sound financial policy. The organizers will adhere strictly to their past record, ten years without the loss of a Dollar to a single investor. The indications now are that the quarter million dollars of atrophy and the million dollars worth of surplus of the Citizen Trust Company will be readily subscribed and that the required amount necessary to begin the banking business will be paid in by September 1st. The stock is offered for sale on the following terms and conditions—Two Hundred Dollars a share (One Hundred Dollars Capital and One Hundred Dollars surplus). Subscriptions to the stock shall be paid, 1. Two Hundred Cash, or 2. Forty Dollars Cash and Forty Dollars in three, six and nine and twelve months, or 4. Ten Dollars Cash and $10 monthly for 19 months. Six per cent interest on deferred payments. First Mortgage Real Estate notes will be accepted in papiment of stock.

C., the natives are yet talking about the attitude of Miss Nora Bayes, the noted comedienne, who, on Monday or last week, refused to sing for the soldiers at Camp Wadsworth when she found it impossible to secure accommodations for her maid, Miss Ida Day, at Spartanburg's leading hotel. The Spartanburg Herald has asked the question: "Does Nora Bayes care more for the feelings of her colored maid than for the feelings of the men in the Southern training camps?" On the other hand, Miss Bayes is asking the question: "Do some Southern whites care more for 'South before the war' customs, long since obsolete, than the welfare of the men in Southern training camts?" Some weeks ago Miss Bayes made arrangements with the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities to visit the various cantonments and cheer the boys in khaki with song and humor. Her services were to be rendered without charge. At Atlanta and Augusta, which are near cantonments, no difficulty was experienced by the comedienne in securing rooms for herself and maid. But in Spartanburg conditions were found to be different. When Miss Bayes asked for accommodations she was told that her maid would have to seek quarters elsewhere. It was then that the talented comedienne decided to quickly leave Spartanburg for New York without singing to the soldiers at Camp Wadsworth. The Spartanburg Herald accuses Miss Bayes of saying that she was tired of the South, anyhow, and no denial has been forthcoming from the singer that she did not make the statement. Despite our fight for Democracy, Spartanburg has outdone itself for despicableleness and un-Americanism on the race question since the United States entered the world war. Many reports of the mistreatment of colored soldiers and civilians have come from this Southern town where the true spirit of Americanism is yet to pervade. In the fall of 1917, when the old 15th was sent to Camp Wadsworth to join the other regiments of the New York National Guard, a clash between the colored troopers and white ruffians was narrowly averted by Col. William Hayward. The trouble started when a well known member of the old 15th entered the corridor of a hotel with several white troopers. All the soldiers in the party were from New York and neither the white soldiers nor the colored soldier thought the presence of a Negro under the circumstances would be resented. The colored soldier had not been in the hotel more than a minute when he was spied by a burly hotel clerk, who, without warning, struck him a stinging blow and then threw him out of the place. This greatly angered the white soldiers who wanted to show fight. The news of, the assault reached the cars of other members of the old 15th, who had started for the hotel. Colonel Hayward was apprised of the impending trouble and hastily acted, quelling what may have been a serious racial outbreak. Other stories have reached these parts from Spartanburg of how, without rhyme or reason, colored soldiers have been insulted and called names on the streets of the town. For obvious reasons, the = old 15th was brought to one of the Northern cantonments after a few days' stay at Camp Wadsworth. When the Spartanburg Herald speaks with so much deep concern about the feelings of the men in the Southern training camps it would be well to remind the editors of this publication that the colored soldier, too, has some feelings. Furthermore, he has some rights. Of course, we do not expect the radical element in the South to admit that the colored soldier is as much of a human being as his white comrade-in-arms and is worthy of the same respect and consideration as a soldier. This would be expecting too much. But it would be a wise move on the part of the "Vardamans" in Spartanburg to treat the colored American as if he was some kind of a human being. They talk about German propaganda. But there is an un-American propaganda that does more to humiliate and injure the morale of the colored American than any German propaganda ever launched in this country. There need be no fear of the colored American becoming susceptible to advances made by German agents to become disloyal to this, his country. The American Negro prides himself on his loyalty at all times. But some steps ought to be taken to deal summarily with those who make it their business to create racial friction; who think and live in terms of white and black and who preach superiority based on color—not on character, intelligence, culture and wealth. It requires a superabundance of brotherly love for a colored soldier to allow himself to be kicked around and insulted, although wearing the uniform of "Uncle Sam," and then risk life and limb for Democracy; and such rank discrimination as encountered by Miss Nora Bayes does not tend to engender a feeling of good will. In France "Our Boys," white and colored, are now fighting the Hun to make this whole world safe for democracy. In France, "Our Boys," white and colored, are giving their lives to make this world safe for democracy. Incidentally, such places as Spartanburg, S. C., it is assumed, are included in the world. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Brown & Demont are at the Sidney Theatre, Cape Britton. Karle Brown Cook is now residing at 204 W. 141st street. He is yet under the doctor's care as the result of a railroad accident some weeks ago, in which he badly injured one of his hands. PRESENT "THE ROSARY" AT, LAFAYETTE THEATRE At the Lafayette next week a play of human interest "The Rosary," will be presented. Bruce Wilton has amassed a fortune which he lavishes on his wife, Vera. Their household is a happy one, but into it creeps a note of menace. No one hears of it at first, except Father Kelly, a priest, a former tutor of Bruce. Quietly he goes to work with his sharpened mental sense to find the person who is causing the adverse influence in the household. Almost on the verge of discovering the cause, a calamity descends upon the Wilton house. Bruce's fortune is swept away and in such a manner that he believes his wife the cause of his ruin. Husband and wife are separated, the home is destroyed, and yet the cause of this disaster is not known But Father Kelly, with a faith that moves mountains, goes on quietly, serenely, confidently, with but one purpose in view, the happiness of those he loves. He solves the mystery and lets the white light of truth into the minds that have been darkened by evil. "The Rosary" was written by the author of more successes than any other playground in the world, Edward Rose, having written such successes as "The Prisoner of Zenda," "Janice Mereghul, of the Children," and "The Adventures of Lady Ursula," "David Harum," "Richard Carvel," "Eben Holden," etc BUY $250 000 ATHLETIC SUPPLY FOR SOLDIERS WASHINGTON, D C.-Athletic material sufficient to supply 1,750 companies or 125 complete regiments has been purchased by the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, according to Dr. Norman B Tooker of the Athletic Division of the Training Camp Commission.

BACHARACH GIANTS DEFAT-FOSTER'S CLUB LeRoy Roberts, local speed marvel pitched the Bacharach Giants to the second consecutive victory over Rube Foster's famous Chicago American Giants Sunday afternoon in a hotly contested battle that ended with the score of 3-1. Foster was out for blood, but had to taste the bitter elements of defeat, since Roberts twirled one of the finest games on his career. The resort moundsmand baffled his veteran opponents with his galaxy of neck-breaking shoots. Roberts had the American Giants shut out until the ninth, when a walk and two hits deprived him of the coveted honor. Seven members of the visiting club were retired on strikes. The Chicago team used three hillmen, but could not hold the Bacharachs under cover. Duncan started, but only lasted two innings. The peerless Rube Foster, himself, came to the rescue, but he only could hold out until the end of the sixth. It was not his lack of ability to pitch that caused his retirement, but his lack of wind after he drove a double. Wickware worked in the remaining two rounds. In the second chapter, with two down, Roberts started with a single to left. Ross' grounder struck the third base bag and went for a double. Davis, the next batter, pelted a two-bagger to left field, and Roberts and Ross scored the score: American Gts . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -1 Bacharach Gts . 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 -x-3 HACKENSACK N.
