COLORED AMERICAN TROOPERS CAPTURE A VILLAGE IN FRANCE The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOME. :: :: VOL. XXXI NO. 51. COLORED AMERIC CAPTURE A VILLA Negroes Free French Civilians in Vosges District. HUNS ARE AFRAID French Soldiers Declare that the Enemy Is Badly Frightened When Colored Troopers from the United States Put in Appearance—Americans Recently Tricked by German Patrol Which Attacked Them After Making Friendly Advances and Yelling "Kamerad." Colored troops from the United States have captured one Vosges, in France, and liberated the inhabitants of the village, according to Associated Press despatches from overseas, appearing in the New York papers Tuesday of this week. The Associated Press despatch follows: The enemy heavily shelled towns in the Woevre sector behind our lines this morning. One of his patrols attacked an American outpost, but was easily driven out. There was considerable patrol activity in the Vosges district last night. One encounter took place, the enemy refiring with wounded men. Negro troops have occupied one Vosges village in which French civilians were held prisoners. The Frenchmen, on coming through to the American lines, declared that the Germans were considerably excited at finding themselves opposed by Negroes, of whom they are said to be afraid because of the reports, that the American Negro troops cut off the ears of their prisoners. The Negro soldiers in this city had an example of German submarine when a German patrol attacked after shouting "Kamerad." They are now thoroughly determined to have their revenge. THE FRENCH PEOPLE The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, Fred R Moore and the Rev. J. G. Robinson of Knoxville, Tenn., were the principal speakers at the patriotic service held Sunday afternoon at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in 110th street. Greetings were sent to the men and women of France, the cablegram reading as follows: Tarough Mr. Marcel Knecht, a distinguished representative of France, the Negroes of America and greetings and join with the men and women of France in celebrating the 161st anniversary of Lafayette and the anniversary of the Battle of the Marne. Our boys in France will fight shoulder to shoulder with our American brothers and in co-operation with the splendid French in helping to bring about a real democracy for all mankind. Among the signers of the cablegram were Dr. R. R. Moton, Fred R. Moore, the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, Dr. E. P. Roberts James W. Johnson, Dr. Charles H. Holder, Lester A. Walton, the Rev. W. H. Brooks, John E. Nail, the Rev. W. W. Brown, Frank H. Gilbert and W. F. R. M. Bolden. The following telegram was received from Dr R R. Moton, principal of Turkegate Institute, during the meeting: "Anxiety I cannot be at drive. Glad you are going to call attention to Lafagette who firmly believed in democracy not only for his race and nation but others as well." As Negro Americans we should take courage from his example and do our best along every line to make the world safe as our men—white and colored—are doing so bravely in France."

BAPTISTS WANT UNIFICATION Rival Bodies of Denomination Exchange Friendly Greetings at Last Week's Sessions. HOLD TWO CONVENTIONS National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, Meets in St. Louis, and National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated, Holds Session in Little Rock, Ark. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) St. Louis, Mo.—The National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, was held here last week, and the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated, met in Little Rock. At both conventions the delegates were outspoken in favor of the two factions getting together; and this idea for unification was more fully emphasized when greetings were exchanged by the two bodies. Members of the denomination at Little Rock took the initiative in sending greetings, which were returned by the St Louis delegates. Each message breathed the spirit, prayer and hope of a reunion of the body. In the report submitted by the secretary of the Incorporated Convention, the body collected $60,000,000 for all purposes last year. The sessions were held at the Coliseum and at the opening session fully six thousand persons were present, on which occasion the delegates were given a musical treat.

GIVES VIEW ON MIGRATION Commission Says South Can Prevent Negro from Going to Other Sections If It Will Give Him a Larger Measure of Those Things Dear to Every Human Being. The Southern University Commission for the scientific study of face questions, created six years ago by the action of eleven Southern state universities, has just published its first report. Meeting twice a year to plan and discuss its investigations, the commission has spoken little and studied much. Its only public utterances have been the three open letters to the college men of the South, all of which have been widely approved by the Southern press. These letters are embodied in the present report. The first is not only a strong protest against mob violence, but is an urgent appeal to college men to lead a crusade "for law and civilization." The second urges college men to work for better schools for white and black as a present necessity for the welfare of the entire South, but it pleases especially for "a large share of school ANCE for the Nest on the ground of your welfare and common jus- tice. Nest is the weakest link" in our welfare, and our welfare is indis- sibly bound up with his" Negro Migration. The latest letter, considering the causes of this migration, admits the South's inability to compete on a financial basis with other sections," but contends that "the South can easily keep her Negroes against all alliances if she will give them a larger measure of those things which human beings hold dearer than material goods . . . fair dealing, sympathy, patience, tolerance . . . It pays to be just and kind both spiritually and materially. Surely the South has nothing to lose and much to gain by adopting [such] an attitude." A Formal Report. The present report makes public the scope of the commission's study, and the minutes of regular meetings, with their record of discussions of race prob- (Continued on Page Two) SEPARATE CONVENTIONS HELD BY TWO FACTIONS OF ODD FELLOWS; TO SETTLE DISPUTE IN COURT PHILADELPHIA POLICE ON TRIAL FOR RIOT (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) PHILADELPHIA, PA.—At a police trial board on Tuesday it was revealed that a number of rough-house tactics prevailed during the recent race riots. Dr. William M. Cooperage, a resident physician of the Polychronic Hospital, was called as a witness against John H. Schneider, a white policeman. He said that while he was operating upon Preston H. Lewis, a badly battered colored man of 2729 Titan street, the policeman man began beating the colored man with his fists and then with a blackjack. The physician said he attempted to stop Schneider and after much tussling he was subdued Captain of Police Galagher, head of the trial board, said that such actions were a stain on the department and must be prosecuted SAY TRUE DEMOCRACY REIGNS IN FRANCE J D. Saunders is in receipt of a letter from his nephew. Lieut Charles A Shaw, connected with division headquarters of the 92nd Division, in which the writer lauds the democratic spirit of the French people. Lieut. Saunders writes in part as follows: "This is indeed a beautiful country, a country where true democracy reigns. Every man is judged according to the amount of good that he contributes to the community and not on account of his color. The colored troops have made an everlasting, impression over here, and these people really make a fuss over them that they never have experienced. The French people are the most courteous I have ever met, and there seems to be no end to their endeavors to make the men feel happy and contended." "The American boys, white and colored, are putting up the real stuff over here now, and the drive, which you doubtless have read of in the papers over there, was a masterpiece. If we can keep this up, and I have no doubt as to our ability to do so, we soon will be back to our homes, mingling among friends."

C.—Included in his report to the President, the following statement is made by W. G. McAdow, director general of railroads, relative to the Pullman service: "The sleeping and parlor cars operated by the Pullman Company having become an essential and indispensable part of our transportation system, it was decided, after careful consideration, to output them under the control of the United States Railroad Administration. Now that the Pullman Company in so far as the operation of its cars is concerned, has been placed under the control of the government, the operating employees will, of course, receive the same percentages of advance in their pay as were awarded to other railroad employees under the order of May 25, 1918. "While the peculiar conditions under which the sleeping-car service is operated makes it impracticable to apply the principle of the basic eight-hour day in the case of sleeping-car conductors, porters and maids, orders have been issued that such employees shall have reasonable and proper opportunity for rest and sleep while actually on duty."

C. sessions, two sets of new Grand Officers and two different Sub-Committees of Management were chosen to take office the first of the year. Those unalterably opposed to the continuance in office of the Morris faction plan to institute legal proceedings next January to oust the present officers and install those elected at Manhattan Casino Monday of this week. On the other hand, the Morris followers will seek to keep in power the men chosen at a secret meeting held Monday of this week at Stovall Hall, Fifth avenue, between 131st and 132nd streets. The regular accredited delegates proceeded to organize the B. M. C. as required by law, electing Perry W. Howard temporary chairman and William T. Francis, temporary secretary, which positions later were made permanent. The committee on resolution, W. T. Andrews, chairman, in its report pledged the support of the Odd Fellows to President Wilson in helping win the war and recommended that $15,000 be paid. Members of the Sub-committee of management elected by opponents of the Morris faction are: John Noel, West Virginia, grand master; William T. Francis, Minnesota, deputy grand master; R. J. Nelson, Pennsylvania, grand secretary; Charles Colburn, Delaware, grand treasurer, Grand directors; W. T. Andrews, South Carolina; J. A. Josey, Wisconsin; J. G. Robinson, Tennessee; W. A.

Visiting delegates recorded as ineligible were not admitted under any circumstances, although the civil court sent several representatives to maid, admittance. However their requests were turned down. They said that there were about two old persons present at the secret M. T. session, including numbers of the old members of management and parties. Grand Master Merens depicted those informed to present the meeting was to the reservation passed by the sub-committee of management last January to postpone holding the regular B. M.

The old subcommittee of management was re-elected with Morris as Grand Master, and, a decision reached to meet in New York in 1920. While the old regime was holding forth at Stowall's Hall another B M C was being held at Manhattan Casino. Those taking part in the deliberations were members of the order who had been elected delegates in May as required by law and filed their credentials with the sub-committee of management at Philadelphia. They were from Minnesota, West Virginia, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Michigan, New Jersey, Georgia, New York and South Dakota. There were 282 delegates present. Georgia Delegation Seated. It was not until the close of the session when officers had been chosen that the committee on credentials made a report seating the Georgia delegates, whose claim for recognition had been presented by Ben Davis, Henry Lincoln Johnson and Harry H. Pace. The contention of the Georgia delegates was that the courts had reversed the ruling of the old sub-committee of management and held that they were members in good standing.

As several of them were chosen, delegates as late as Friday, they found it impossible to secure recognition from the committee on credentials. At the preliminary session held at Manhattan Casino nearly three hundred persons, including delegates and friends, were present. It was pointed out by those who met at Manhattan Casino that it was selected as a meeting place because in July, 1917, a deposit of $25 was put up and a contract entered into by representatives of Edward H. Morris for the use of the place September 9th, 1918. This was done some months prior to the decision of the sub-committee of management to postpone the B. M. C. On account of the strange tactics of the Morris faction in first declaring that no B. M. C. he held there and then instructing members in New York to choose just a few before the secret session, much dissatisfaction has cropped up in the local ranks. Of the eight lot, only six sent delegates to Monday's meeting, the other two refusing to send representatives. Before leaving for his home the Grand Master, Joan S.

School opens September 17th. TITS OF COLUMBUS COLORED TROOPS (By Joseph J. Canavan.) The official reports filtering back from the front in France have added a special touch of amplification to the issue contained in a German official document when the big drive by American troops was at its heights a few weeks ago, and which noted that "black Americans" had hammered their way across the Hun lines. It was not, though, until the battle over, according to the unofficial account of the same night, that the commander summoned the colony of Negro regiment before him, demanded to know in tense military opinion, why that colonel had not maintained better control over his troops, and, above everything else, he had not stopped" his men and kept them from coming beyond their appointed objective and, in fact, hacking their way through ahead of their own protective Stop them?" queried the colonel, "them them. Hell, man how could you contact me to stop them, when the whole German Army couldn't do it?" The brigade commander's reply is not a record, either officially or unofficial but the story, is only one of a thousand that is being told of the admirable man and courage of the Americans who compose the Negro units of the expeditionary force and which every day are there in the thick of the fighting and holding their place on the line wherever they may be called upon to do their military bit. In just the same manner, the men who compose those recitals are par-taking of the carefully built up welfare work, that is being accomplished on both sides of the water by the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities. In fact, they are receiving special attention, both in the camps in this country and K, of C huts in France, and the work among the Negro troops is being broadened as rapidly as the numbers of the Negro troops grow, under the operation of the selective service laws and by voluntary enlistment. The latter apparently being a particu-arily inviting method for Negroes get-into the army. Under the system as it now has been worked out, the Negro soldier needs no other countersign than this khaki uniform to gain for him everything advantage, offered by the Knights' service, there are places, both in this country and abroad, where the Knights Columbus have erected special hats or the use of the Negro soldiers. But where that has been done, it has been at the express request of Negro soldiers themselves, who in numerous instances have expressed a preference for a building of their own, where they may enjoy their own pleasures in their own way, and be assured of meeting their own friends when and where and under what circumstances they desire. Such an arrangement has been granted by the K. of C. upon request of the men themselves at Camp Meade, at Admiral Md, where one of the three K. of C. huts, which are looked after by seven secretaries, has been set aside for Negro troops. The same action, again upon request of the Negro soldier, has been taken at Camp Dodge, at Des Moines, Ia, where one of the three K. of C. buildings has been set aside for their exclusive use. At Camp Dodge, however, there are thirteen secretaries, the services of everyone of them being ways at call of any trooper, the request them. The same rule applies at Camp Funston, at fort Riley, Kans., where one of the three buildings of the K. of C. has been given to Negroes, and there is a building for the Negro troops also at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky, where the Knights have four tents.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—News has lately come to Washington of the success of two boys from here, Fred Pelham, son of Robert Pelham, formerly of Detroit, but for many years holding a position of importance as Census Statistician in the U. S. Civil Service here in Washington, and Luther Wiseman, son of the Rev. Daniel E. Wiseman, Lutheran minister of the only colored Lutheran Church in the city, who are both in service in our army "somewhere" in France. They are employed as experts in the field of electricity and are teaching radio-telegraphy to the soldiers in training for that service in the army. They are distinctly "making good" in their work abroad, and are thereby doing "their bit" not only to promote the efficiency of the American army abroad but also to prove the capacity of our colored boys for superior achievement in the field of purely technical industry. When Pelham and Wiseman were both younger lads, living in the vicinity of Howard University, they formed together with Kelly Miller, Jr., son of the dean of the college of arts and sciences at Howard University, a trio of bright lads, each of whom showed ability in mechanics in particular. During their student days in Washington they worked as a unit in reconstructing wormout automobiles, in repairing engines, and in erecting and operating radio stations, and each became an expert in transmitting and receiving messages by radio-telegraphy. On completing their school terms here, Pelham went to work with the Ford corporation in Detroit. Wiseman with a manufacturing plant in New Jersey, while Miller, after graduating with honor from Clark University at Worcester, Mass., took a position as metallurgical expert with a steel corporation in Pittsburgh. The latter is also now in the U. S. service as civilian instructor in the army and assigned to duty at the training camp at Howard University. —Many Washingtonians have received letters from Corporal Harrison M. Gillican, who is in active service with the colors as statistical clerk for the 350th Machine Gun Battalion. Mr. Gillican was formerly a clerk in the War Department and made many friends here who are glad to know of the success he is making "over there." Mr. and Mrs. Leon Turner of Washington, D. C., have received word from their son, Theodore B. Turner, who left for France early in June last, as Regt. Sergt. Major with headquarters of the 92nd Division, that he has received a commission as second lieutenant and has been assigned to Company G, 368th Infantry.

HUNTSVILLE, ALA.-The Huntsville Chapter of the Red Cross in its Christmas drive called on the colored people to assist in raising their quota. Prof. Walter S. Buchanan, President of the A. & M. College, at Normal, was made chairman of the committee to work among the colored people. He called to his assistance Prof. P. C. Parks, U. S. Agent for the boys' corn club for Madison and adjoining counties, together with several of the leading people of Huntsville. When the final meeting was held in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church the colored people had raised in cash three thousand dollars. This was the beginning of the Washington Branch of the Red Cross for colored people. Since that time the branch has been asked to raise one thousand dollars, and they came across with almost double the amount. The ladies of the Washington branch have been very active since the organization was begun. They have made kits for every drafted man sent from Madison county. The students from the State A. & M. College, together with the ladies of Huntsville, knitted sweaters that were put with the ones knitted by the white ladies and sent to every drafted man that left from Madison county. September 1 Madison county sent to the training camps one hundred drafted men and each one was supplied with a Kit made by the Red Cross ladies. This brings the number sent by this up to nine in one for hundred, and each one is supplied with a kit and the first two hundred received by sides the kit a testament and a trench mirror.

MEANS OF BETTERMENT SEEN THROUGH THE WAR SEEN THROUGH THE WAR Rev. W. R. Lawton, Minister of the Washington Memorial Presbyterian Mission, preached a special sermon at Betthesda Presbyterian Chapel, Hackensack, N. J., on "The War a Means to a Better Negro Status" recently from the following text: "He Saved Others; Himself He Cannot Save," Luke 51. He said among other things: "The text is a fitting caption for the maltreatment accorded the Negro in this country in view of his loyalty to the flag in the present war with Germany. In shackles he weat into the civil war to fight for a whole union and a whole freedom. He helped to bring from the battle fields a whole union forever and a whole freedom for himself. The union is intact but he is unjustly restricted in his blood-bought freedom and citizenship. He is maltreated at will without being able to obtain a fair and full redress. But notwithstanding these unfavorable conditions to true patriotism and genuine loyalty, when the country sent its flag across the ocean to join the Allies for world-wide democracy, he was ready with one hundred per cent patriotism and loyalty to do his part. "In his devotion to the highest duty of American citizenship he is fighting and dying heroically around the Stars and Stripes to give to the down-trodden nations and oppressed people of the earth a democracy in which the freedom and equality of all men are fundamental, and which he enjoys only in part. Such patriotism, such loyalty, such devotion to the highest duty of his citizenship under the trying unjust discriminations against him are remarkable virtues of a people and have great merit and will, despite every opposition, accord him his place among men and affairs. "The United States cannot come out of this conflict a hypocrite. It must slay American prejudice in this war and leave Negrophobia dead on the battle fields of Europe. Having rededicated itself to human liberty and freedom to a worldwide extent, it will be strong and determined in demanding and enforcing the par value of American citizenship upon all her citizens in every part of the country. It will say and must say to the North, 'Give up; and to the South 'Keep not back.' PATRIARCHIE FIELD DAY AT COUNTRY CLUB (School or New York Age) (Special to The New York Acad.)

THE NEW YORK ACADEMY SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 2002 ```markdown ``` NO DRASTIC MEASURES. A serious breach of the peace was reported last week in Harlem as the result of certain unruly members of the Negro race attempting to put an objectionable Greek storekeeper out of business. According to the reports, serious damage was done to the store and stock by the throwing of bricks and other missiles. Of course, such drastic measures as these are unwarranted and bring the perpetrators into the class of lawbreakers, to be arrested and punished accordingly. All law abiding citizens will disapprove such action and no sympathy will be felt for the offenders. On the other hand, the plea set up by the North Harlem Merchants Association for co-operation among these white storekeepers and Negroes seems to be a one-sided arrangement, purely for the benefit of the storekeepers. The kind of co-operation that the Negroes of Harlem should practice is the starting and building up of business enterprises conducted by members of the race. In order to command the necessary support, these enterprises must afford equal, if not better, facilities in the way of stock and service, to those already existing. The difficulties in the way of starting such businesses are considerable, but they should not prove insuperable. One difficulty is in securing suitable locations, as white property owners frequently refuse to rent for such purposes. But pluck and persistence, with a combination of resources, could overcome this, as well as other obstacles. With the united support of the Negro population given to enterprises of this character, as is found in other segregated community groups in this city, there would be no field for exploitation by the traders of alien races. But such a development can only be brought about by the legitimate methods of commercial rivalry. Violence will only rebound to the injury of those advocating such a policy. While the misguided individuals who are accused of damaging the premises of the storekeeper referred to above have incurred the penalties of the law, they are entitled to a pair trial before punishment. If it is true, as alleged, that the police clubbed those arrested after they were confined in cells, the law was again violated, and by those most responsible for upholding it. The whole matter A CONSTRUCTIVE POLICY. One of the most significant features of the nineteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, outside of the keynote of unswerving loyalty and patriotism, was the demand for a constructive policy of operation to meet the economic conditions bound to follow the ending of the war. Dr. Moton in his address emphasized the need for forethought and careful planning to meet this situation. Heretofore, the policy pursued by the Business League has been largely of a preparatory nature, sowing the seed to build up a sentiment favorable to the creation and development of business and commercial enterprises. This work has been done well and thoroughly. From these annual meetings has emanated a sentiment demanding the creation of commercial opportunities and the development of material enterprises. This sentiment has been fostered and encouraged by many practical and helpful suggestion offered both at the annual gatherings and disseminated through the officers during the year. The result has been stimulation and growth of industrial and commercial enterprises among the race. But the times demand a greater initiative. Among the necessary steps to be taken, Dr. Moton specified as follows: "First, We must make up our minds pretty clearly that we have got to stand behind our newspapers. These publications have fought our battles for right and justice and they have rarely omitted an act, or overlooked an opportunity to help both as to co-operation in business and among business men. We must stand behind them and strengthen them with subscriptions, with advertisements, and with whole-hearted support. I would like to see a movement started among these newspapers in a great effort to secure advertising of the more important kind. "Second. We must seek to have stronger State and local Negro business leagues scattered all over the country, and especially in the South. State business leagues in Virginia, Georgia and Louisiana are doing excellent work, and should be encouraged. "I would also like to see each State league select some one man who is thoroughly conversant with the marketing of farm products. Such a man could visit each local league, and thus aid the local organization to reach out into the surrounding territory and organize the farmers and help them in such matters as grading and packing farm products, and preparing them for shipment to the market. In this way the farmers could be greatly helped and encouraged by having the local leagues and this special man provide an organized outlet for their products. Dr. Moton also suggested the creation of a fund on the plan of the Hebrew Free Loan Society, to be raised by members of the league purchasing blocks of stock on the instalment plan. This fund could be administered by a committee of five and loaned in such a manner as to make the investment as safe as Liberty Bonds. These suggestions are all practical and capable of substantial development in the way of business, if carried out with the cautious procedure that Dr. Moton does not fail to enjoin. He is not blind to the many pitfalls of co-operative financial enterprises, but insists that we cannot lose sight of the bigger benefits and principles involved. With such a combination of foresight and prudence, the constructive policy outlined for the league should enlist active support and produce practical results. The first fruits of the shutting down of breweries to conserve grain and coal are seen in the announcement that ten thousand liquor saloons will close in New York City October 1. This is to avoid paying the State tax for another year, with the prospect of doing business for only a few months, as the breweries will shut down December 1. The cost of prohibition is indicated by the loss of the tax on beer, figured at $240,000,000 for the year. It is proposed to meet this loss of revenue by imposing import taxes WHAT IS OUR RATIO? We have before us the twenty-second annual report of the United Jewish Charities. In looking it through we came across a paragraph in the introduction to the report, written by Mr. Max Hirsch, the president of the association. This paragraph caused us to take out our lead pencil and do a little figuring. In closing his introduction, President Hirsch said: I cannot praise too highly the efficient work of our staff; to them no effort has been too great, no detail too small. Thanks is also due the ladies of the Social Service Bureau for their assistance in the survey of undernourished children, to the members of the Efficiency Committee for their intelligent criticism as well as constructive suggestions; but most of all is thanks due the big-hearted, generous Jews of Cincinnati, who responded so nobly to the call recently made upon them. Some say we are a race, others a people, but the last two weeks have proven that we are one big, united family inspired by that great Jewish ideal—Justice. Justice not only to the poor, but justice to each other, each member of the community insisting that if there was a burden to be borne, it would be borne equally in proportion to the means at his command. Nine hundred new subscribers and over $75,000 in additional subscriptions! Ten per cent of our people giving at a ratio of nearly $8 per capita of the Jewish population! Cincinnati still shows the way!" It was the facts stated in the lines which we have set off in black type that caused us to exercise our rusty knowledge of arithmetic. Ten per cent of the Jews in Cincinnati—for we take it that these figures refer to Cincinnati—giving at a ratio of nearly $8.00 per capita of the Jewish population of that city! And for the sole purpose of charities among Jews. These same people no doubt contribute to many other of their racial causes. Now let us speculate a little. Take any city in the United States with a large colored population. Now take the most philanthropic and liberal ten per cent of that colored population. Now speculate upon what is the ratio to the whole colored population at which this selected ten per cent gives to any fund for the general welfare of the race. Surely you will not begin by putting it at $8.00 per capita. Would you be willing to say that it is as high as 80 cents per capita? To make our calculations easier, let us take the cities of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and the Borough of Manhattan in New York City. Each of these communities have Negro populations that may be put down in round numbers at 100,000. If ten per cent of the colored people of either of these communities contributed at a ratio of $8.00 per capita of the whole colored population, the sum contributed would be $800,000; that is, an average of $80 for each contributor. Of course we know that no such sum was ever raised. But if ten per cent of the colored people of either of these communities contributed at a ratio of eighty cents per capita of the whole colored population, the sum contributed would be $80,000; that is, an average of $8.00 for each contributor. We are compelled to say that no such sum as that has ever been raised. Well, if ten per cent of either of these communities contributed at a ratio of merely 8 cents per capita of the whole population, the sum contributed would be $8,000. We leave it to our readers to say if any such sum as that has ever been raised at one time for the general welfare of the race, not by ten per cent of the colored population but by the whole colored population of any city in the country. Since $8.00 per capita was the ratio contributed by the Jews of Cincinnati, who are very rich, we dismiss it as a sum entirely impossible for the colored people of any city. But would $0 cents per capita be impossible? There is no need to ask any question about the ratio of $ cents per capita; ten per cent of the colored population of not only the communities mentioned above, but of any city in the country could contribute that amount if they had intelligent cooperation and the will to do it. Now apply this ratio of only 8 cents to the entire Negro population of the country. Put that population at ten million; then if ten per cent of that population gave at a ratio of 8 cents per capita of the whole Negro population, the sum contributed would be $800,000. Imagine how much could be accomplished with such a sum contributed annually. Things could be done with it all the way from dispensing charity to fighting for our equal rights through the courts of the land. It would even render possible the establishment of a great Negro bank in Wall street, which would make the race a power in the financial world. Such a bank could finance legitimate Negro enterprises, and thus open the door of economic opportunity to thousands of colored men and women; and that would be getting right at the heart of the solution of our problem, would it not? In many ways the Jew can serve as an example for the Negro. Both races have similar conditions to contend with. But the Negro has much to learn from the manner in which the Jew meets his problem. For a long time the Negro has been afflicted with the idea that to get the things that are due him, all he needs to do is to pray. The Jew knows that he must not only pray, but that he must also pay. And so it is, Jews put their dollars together and in that way on coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar and other articles. All of which shows that Prohibition comes high, though we must have it. Moss and Col. Haywood, so lively developments may be expected from that section of the enemy's front. The total number of casualties among the American Expeditionary forces in France is stated to be 50,000. Of these, 20,000 comprising names of those slightly wounded, have been held up in France, because it was deemed inadvisable to cable cases where wounds were not serious. The organization of the first American field army was progressing rapidly at latest reports, nearly all the troops brigaded with the British and French having been withdrawn. The 92d division, composed of Negro troops from all sections of the United States, was reported to have arrived in the Voyages. This includes the 367th and 369th Regiments, under Col. Moss and Col. Haywood, so lively developments may be expected from that section of the enemy's front. The patriotic purchasers of Liberty Bonds are warned against exchanging them for worthless stock in wildcat enterprises. Liberty Bonds are the safest investment possible for the investor, big or little, and it is poor policy to exchange them for anything of a doubtful character, although promising a larger return. In the selection of capable women for the police force, cannot the Commissioner, perceive the wisdom of appointing several women of the Negro race who meet the requirements? This would not only be a proper recognition of the race but a decided help to the protection of our girls and women raise millions for charities, for the defense of their rights, for great business undertakings and for any other purpose that will make the Jewish race stronger and more independent. If the Jews can put their dollars together for such purposes, why cannot the colored people put together at least their pennies? If the selected proportion of the Jews can contribute $8.00 per capita of the whole Jewish population, why cannot the selected proportion of the colored people contribute 8 cents per capita of the whole colored population? There is a great difference between the wealth of the Jews and the Negroes, but it is not so great as the difference between $8.00 and 8 cents. The American Negro must learn this vitally important lesson, and he can learn it by watching and studying the Jew; that in order to get those things that he desires and even those things that he is justly entitled to, he must need not only work and pray, he must need also pay. The colored people must learn to put their pennies together—and we have shown that their pennies if put together will amount to million of dollars—for the charitable aid of each other, for the purpose of defending their rights, and for big business enterprises. If they learn that lesson, they will have the chief key to the solution of their problem. It is simply a restatement of the old axiom, "In union there is strength." But we come back to the question we started with. What is the ratio at which any ten per cent of the colored people of any community give per capita of the whole colored population? It is not $8.00 per capita. It is not 80 cents per capita. Is it as much as 8 cents? Or is it at present even 8 mills? We should like any of our readers to figure it out for any community and send the figures in to us. THE END OF THE "HOUSTON AFFAIR." On September 3, President's Wilson's memorandum filed with the Adjutant General of the army, in which the President affirms the death sentences imposed by the military courts on six of the colored soldiers implicated in the "Houston Affair" and commuted ten other death sentences to life imprisonment, was made public. In summing up his memorandum of the review of these cases the President said: "I commuted the remaining sentences because I believed the lesson of this lawless riot will have been adequately pointed out by the action already taken and that now directed, and also because I desire the clemency here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong, and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service to the country of which they are citizens and for the liberties of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle." The tribute which the President pays to the loyal service of the race is the first definite utterance of the kind that he has made; and it will be deeply appreciated by all colored Americans. Whether his action in commuting the sentences of ten of the condemned soldiers to life imprisonment will result in an "inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service" is not so certain. It appears that the six men whose death sentences the President affirmed were proved beyond doubt to be guilty of mutiny and of having killed certain persons; to these men no mercy was shown. Concerning the ten men whose sentences were commuted to life imprisonment, to whom mercy was shown, the President says in his memorandum: "The remaining ten death sentences I have commuted to life imprisonment for the reason that, while deeply engaged in this riotous mutiny, the men involved are not shown by the record personally and directly to have caused the death of designated individuals." This is no doubt the end of the "Houston Affair." The colored people will feel that although up to this time justice may have been done, not yet has full justice been done. For while there were white policemen and white citizens of Houston involved in the affair, and while all the line and field officers of the men were white, up to now only colored men have suffered the processes of the law. LAW AND ORDER IN HARLEM. Last week Police Captain Ward of the 38th Precinct requested a number of colored citizens to meet with him in conference and discuss the police situation in Harlem. At this conference Captain Ward stated that there were grave possibilities. He said there was a growing spirit of defiance of the police among certain classes of colored people, and that there was a disposition among these same classes to take colored prisoners away from the white police, no matter on what charges they were being arrested. The captain expressed the fear that if these tendencies were not rooted up serious trouble might at any time develop. He also spoke of various acts of lawlessness, such as the smashing of the windows and the breaking up of the shop of a white shopkeeper at the corner of 135th street and Lenox avenue, and the intimidation of other white shopkeepers in the vicinity. Captain Ward is to be complimented on the manner in which he has gone about adjusting this matter. A manner, perhaps, unprecedented; that of calling in responsible colored citizens to talk the thing over. The method heretofore adopted has been to order the use of night sticks. Captain Ward proves by the steps he has taken that he is the right man to handle the Harlem situation. The Negro has nothing to gain from lawlessness. The main thing which he has to complain about in this country is lawlessness; then how can he himself practice the very thing against which he most bitterly complains? Acts that might lead to trouble in Harlem which could be heralded to the country as a "race riot" would do incalculable harm. Any such outcome must be forestalled. One of the remedies for the Harlem situation would be more colored policemen. But the city is not now taking even white recruits into the police service for the simple reason that any young man eligible for the force is also eligible for the military draft, and, of course, the army takes precedence. However, young colored men should prepare themselves to take the examination and so be ready to increase the number of colored policemen in Harlem after the war. The thing to do just now is for the law abiding colored citizens of Harlem to form a strong law and order league, and to do all they can to help uphold and enforce the law, and to spread a respect for law and order among all classes of our people. All complaints against the acts of individual policemen should be taken to headquarters; we have Captain Ward's assurance that they will be dealt with impartially. The following verses have been received from the trenciles in a note from a member of the Third Battalion, 369th R. L. U.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: It is certainly a matter for congratulation that our race possesses a paper with an editorial staff capable of putting forth such clear thinking, conservative and sensible articles as appear in THE ACE. There are many race publications, but unquestionably THE ACE is well in the van. Mr. Johnson in his weekly articles invariably handles his subjects in the most comprehensive and logical manner, yet it seems to me that he omitted an important point in his discussion of the term "Negro." In comparing the words "Negro" and "white," as did the Sunday editor of the Times, he (the editor) failed to observe that whereas "white" refers more particularly to a color, the word Negro is the name of a race, the same as Caucasian. He would not print Japanese, Russian, English nor other racial appellations with a small letter, so why should "Negro" be so written? As to a better term for the race than "Negro," why seek it? Rather let us strive to instill within the race a pride in the name, and as quickly as possible eliminate that hesitating and half-ashamed way in which many of our people still speak the word. There is absolutely nothing about the race or name to be ashamed of, and the feeling that there is, as evinced by some of the less enlightened members, is the result of a propaganda as insidious as any of the Huns'; a propaganga that is still in vogue with the "Crackers" and other prejudice-engendering spirits—the creed of "keeping the nigger in his place," and striving to force him to believe in his own inferiority. It is a propaganda that is doomed to failure as inevitable as is that of the Hun, for "De Sun do move." N. R. PETERSON.

There was an article in your paper of August 17th stating that the Women's Patriotic League had entered the wounded soldiers at the Walter Reed Hospital, at the C.A. Shipley, August. In justice to our club the Patriotic War Workers we wish to state that the Patriotic War Workers Club entertained the soldiers from Walter Reed Hospital on that day. Autos were loaned to the club by several of our prominent citizens. The soldiers were taken from the hospital to the Third Bristle Church, on Fifth and Q Street, N.W. where the Belle Sullivan attached an able sarmron. From the church they were taken to the Y. M. C. A., where a fine dinner awaited them. After partaking of the many good things to eat, they were taken for a ride around the city, thence back to the hospital. Members of the Red Cross were present and presented cigarettes to the soldiers.

THADDEUS C. SWEET STATE OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE. The foregoing resolution was signed by the original proposing --- THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS OUTLOOK FOR COLORED VAUDEVILLIAN BY LESTER A. WALTON. RECENT personal talks and exchange of correspondence with prominent theatrical men have convinced me that a new day is dawning for the colored performer and that in the near future those of unquestioned ability will find the stage a more fertile and productive field in which to exploit their talents. Particularly in vaudeville does the outlook for the colored performer appear more roseate than any time since Johnson defeated Jeffries for the heavyweight championship of the world, which event marked the beginning of lean days for colored acts over the larger circuits. Jack Johnson's victory and his subsequent conduct ought not to have created adverse conditions in the realm of theatricals for the colored vaudevillian; nevertheless they did. It was the same old tragedy of twelve-million people having to pay the penalty for the acts of one. Personally I did not think Johnson used judgment in some things. That it was his privilege to do so no one can deny, yet I contend, that he was unnecessarily hounded and the race unnecessarily persecuted—colored vaudevilhs in particular finding it difficult to secure choice booking. They were told by managers and agents that the Johnson incident had put colored acts "in bad" with white theatregoers. "Jack" Johnson is an outcast and unable to return to the land of his birth. He is residing in Spain and was unable to see his mother who lay dying in Chicago a short time ago. The real reason of his regrettable poor ament we all know However, to earn that the Johnson affair has become merely a faded memory and events of the day are causing the white American public to cease a friendher feeling for the colored American on the stage and elsewhere is cause for elation. Probably the technical charge against Johnson will be dismissed and he will be permitted to return to the United States in time. With the opening of larger opportunities for the colored performer in vaudeville the question arises: "How many race acts are prepared to stand the acid test to which all turns of big time caliber are subjected?" It is often the case that the vaudevillian views everything from a personal angle, labeling friend and foe according to the attitude taken toward his act. But after all there is a definite standard set by the United Booking Offices which must be met by white and colored alike. Frequently the colored performer pleads race prejudice as a cloak to cover up his deficiencies, but the time has come when colored men and women in any and every field of endeavor should demand that they be judged strictly on their merits. Receiving charitable consideration and questionable (). K.'s, such as: "They do a good turn for colored people," does not get us any where. Demand that you be judged by the same standards as others. Being prepared to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself is a very important item nowadays and naturally it is assumed that a number of colored acts will come forth and prove their right to get booking for two-a-day house. The policy of waiting for OPPORTUNITY to knock before --- come long since has become obsolete. The up-to-date method is to anticipate the visit of OPPORTUNITY months in advance so as not to be caught happing. If, as conditions indicate, there will be a readier market for big colored acts than any other turns provided by race vaudevillians, an appeal is made both to managers and performers to give us something different from the old plantation act. In the past the average BAND OF THE FA and Gouraud se indicated by the arro A booking agent's conception of a big colored act has been the presence of ten or more entertainers at a plantation scene, with "old man," "old woman" and "pick" characters. Quite naturally the public hasted of this threadbare idea and for many a day has expected something vastly different; but the booking agent has assumed a negative attitude whenever something new in full stage was suggested, so that there has been little or no incentive for colored vaudevillians to present anything original and modern The Negro is a versatile entitainer and it is not necessary to confine him to plantation environment. Any day our singers and musicians may be found furnishing amusement in the homes of the wealthy and the most fashionable hotels. And they do not find it necessary to put on overalls and tie bandanna handkerchiefs around their necks, either. With conditions more favorable for the colored vaudevillan, the manager and agent are respectfully called upon to show a broader and more liberal conception of Negro life, an attitude which would enhance the value of the colored vaudevillian and enrich the vaudeville stage. --- A new departure in the treatment of Negro employees is indicated by the issuance of an order that all Negroes employed by the railroads shall be paid the same wages that white men get for a similar work. This has not been the general practice in the past, but the Director General says that he has felt that equal pay for equal service without respect for sex or color was the only policy that could justify it.

The general manager of the Quality Amusement Corporation will bring the production to Harlem as next week's attraction "The Rosary" has played all over the country to the greatest business ever given to any single play, no less than seven companies having played it on the road at the same time. Of the list of plays written by the author of "The Rosary," next week's offering at the Lafayette is one of the most sensational he has yet given to Broadway. It is clean, wholesome and powerfully dramatis with some of the most unusual effects ever shown in a play and cannot fail to appeal to the patrons of the Seventh Avenue house (TH) DIVISION serenading the generals may be observed.

Is hereby amended by inserting therein, after section sixteen, a new section, FORM FOR SURVIVION OF PROPOSITION NUMBER THE PATENT MEDICINE MAN. Dr. Walker Says He Got it in Answer to Prayer and Tried it First on His Wife. One of the most prosperous and complacent looking persons of the hundreds who attended the highly interesting sessions of the National Negro Business League at Atlantic City, N. J. August 21-24, was the Rev. J. Franklin Walker the successful pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church of Cincinnati. There was nothing obtrusive in his appearance as he mingled with the throngs that swarmed at the popular resort and enjoyed its splendid hospitality and attractions. There was an air of culture and refinement about his appearance, however, that easily singled him out as being, a man of mark. So he is. The man of mark is the Rev. J. Franklin Walker. His business is that of a faithful servant of the Lord. He loves his Master and work; what is more, he believes in his Master and that He will answer his prayer. Most Christians should do this, but they all do not. He is an educated man. He is an alumnus of the Virginia Baptist Seminary and of Temple College at Philadelphia. Dr. Walker's wife was a terrible sufferer from acute indigestion and her life was despaired on that account. Medical science seemed unable to give her the desired relief. But the good husband did not despair. At last his prayer was answered; a prescription was revealed to him, the outcome of which was Walker's Dyspepsia Compound. He was overjoyed, of course, and hastened to prescribe it for his wife. It worked like magic in her case; she was soon well of the trouble and thoroughly restored to health. The manufacturing plant is at 1023 Cincinnati, Ohio. In New York it may be had, wholesale or retail, at Dr. Eisenbud & Co., 478 Lenox Avenue. Drug stores and agents may secure it there. Many testimonials from those who have benefitted by Walker's Dyspepsia Compound attest its value. Last year it cured thousands of persons. Oved $6,000 worth of the preparation having been sold last year; the second year after being placed on the market. Dr. Walker has also been very successful in real estate operations and is worth $40,000 of property values in Cincinnati. Dr. Walker has two daughters: Helen C., who is an accomplished musician, and Bertha A. His estimable wife is the only sister of Mr. E. C. Brown, the successful banker and real estate operator of Philadelphia. Dr. Walker may easily and safely be classed among successful Patent Medicine Men. I have used Dr. Walser's Dyspepsia Campanula and give it my unqualified MHR. C. J. WALKER August 17, 1918. It gave my wife immediate relief. It is good. I recommend it. REV. W. W. BROWN. Montgomery, Ala. I cheerfully recommend Dr. Walker's Dysphasia Compound as the best I have ever used. REV. A. J. STOKEES, D.D., Treas. National Baptist Convention. 16 Whom it may Consent? This is to certify that I have been possessed for five years and nothing has done me any good until I got a bottle of Dr. Walker's indigestion medicine. I got instant relief and highly recommend it to any suffering with indigestion. MRS. DORA RUSSELL, (Wife of S. M. Russell, M. D.), 10 Henry St., Atlanta, Ga. Helena, Ark, June 8, 1917. I have used Dr. Walker's Dyspepsia Compound in my family and it gave almost instant relief. REV. E. C. MORRIS, Pres. National Baptist Church. Augusta, Ga., June 21, 1917. I have used with fine effect Dr. Walker's Dyspepsia Compound and cheerfully recommend it to any one suffering from indigestion. REV. C. T. WALKER, D.D. Agents wanted in every community. If you are not cured after a fair trial your money will be refunded.
