From November 4, 1918, to November of the following year, nearly half a million dollars, $400,000 to be exact, will be expended by the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. for work among colored girls. This sum is included in the budget which has been approved by the United States Government. Secretary Lansing of the State Department, is reported to have said that there was not one item in the budget that he approved of more heartily than the appropriation of $400,000 for colored girls. Of this amount: $200,000 will be used in the erection of a demonstration building at Washington, D. C., to meet the needs of the race girls in the capital city, will be conducted under the supervision of the National body. The proposed building will be erected at Rhode Island avenue and, P street, northwest, and the ground has been purchased. The other $200,000 will be utilized to establish recreation and industrial centers throughout the country, in the selection and training of colored workers and in holding conferences. War work among colored women under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. is assuming large proportions. A year ago Miss Eva D. Bowles, executive secretary, was the only colored worker in the field. To-day there are sixty-six. Some of the colored members of the staff serving under the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. are: Miss Eva D. Bowles, executive secretary; Miss Josephine V. Pinyon, director of hostess houses and field worker; Miss Mary E. Jackson, industrial worker; Mrs. Cordella A.

In recently giving $4,000 to the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. in the interest of colored girls, Col. Theodore Roosevelt wrote: To the Young Women's Christian Association War Work Council, through Mrs. Henry P. Davison, $4,000. I have asked that Miss Eva Bowles he consulted in the disbursement of this item. My wife and I were very much struck by the work of Miss Bowles in connection with the colored hostess house at Camp Upton, and I have asked that the money be used for the hotsees houses for colored troops and in the work among colored women and girls in and about the camps and cantonments. The $4,000 was a part of the $45,482.83 which was awarded Colonel Roosevelt some years ago for bringing the Russo-Japanese War to a close. He in turn gave it to the Government to establish a permanent peace commission, and a short time ago the sum was returned to him by a special act of Congress so that he might make a number of gifts to war charities. "In the South I found Negroes in the cities making a living and those in the rural districts making money." This statement was made to an AGE representative by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, who has been on an extended tour through the South and West, where he made patriotic addresses to large audiences. "Economic conditions in the South caused me to think of Booker T. Washington's advice to members of the race to stay on the farm," continued Professor Miller, "for our people living in the country are, enjoying more prosperity than the city Negro. It is now a common sight to see colored farmers driving their own automobiles." Professor Miller thinks the Northwest offers great industrial and agricultural opportunities for the Negro. During the summer he visited Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and other western States and was given an opportunity to get a correct view of the situation, so far as relating to Negroes. His timerear out to the Pacific Coast covered 17,000 miles. The well-known educator has just returned from a speaking tour through Texas. OUR BOYS HAVE SWEET TOOTH Mrs. James L. Curtis Writes About Their Fondness for Ice Cream and Doughnuts. ROSENWALD GIVES TALK Well-known Philanthropist Speaks to Soldiers "Over There" in Y. M. C. A. Hut—Troopers Enthusiastically Applaud Motion Picture Showing Colored Women. Although our soldiers "over there" are putting the Hun to flight, they show a marked fondness for doughnuts, ice cream, cake, lemonade and the like, is the information imparted by Mrs. James L. Curtis, who is a canteen worker "somewhere in France" under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. In a letter to Fred R. Moore, editor of THE AGE, Mrs. Curtis, under date of September 2, writes in part: "We are all of us very busy over here. In one day, with the help of two little French girls (one seventeen, the other nineteen, and both having just three months ago returned to France, having been with the Germans since 1914), we cooked 650 doughnuts, made twenty-eight quarts of ice cream, thirty quarts of cocoa, cut and squeezed six hundred lemons for lenoiria, made boxes of sandwiches, and aside from selling all of this, I sell cake and bottled lemonade. "I go to my hut at 9, and from the time I enter until 3.30 I am busy preparing the things to sell; from 3.30 to 8.30 I stand in one place and hand out, or pour out. The men begin to fall in line before I am ready, and when I stop there is always that line of those who would like to be served and can not, either because we have sold out or time is up and we must stop; for our hut is small and both canteens close when the amusement begins. "When you read of the men filling the Y. M. C. A. huts and hanging on the windows and standing on the outside trying to see and hear what is going on inside, don't smile and think that it is not true, for really, it is true. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a most wonderful work and our men love to come here, in fact, it is the only place which reminds them of home, and where they can sit in a real chair and eat on a white plate and drink out of a glass. "Please say for me through your valuable paper that our people must all help in the Y. M. C. A. fall campaign. It is really the best way of helping the men over here. To Have Tuskegee Night "Over There" Mr. Julius Rostwald of Chicago visited our Kit two days ago and after making a fine speech to a packed house, with as many or more of us in it, a young man graduate of Tuskegee was called to the platform and introduced to him. We have a number of Tuskegee men here and they are planning to have a Tuskegee night. "I please send me some pictures for our hut. Any kind of poster that will remind the men of Aurea. A picture of any part of the United States will remind some man of home, as they are from every State. Our hut is new. We are to have electric lights soon, as we are burning candles just now. But the hut is pretty and cheerful. We put up curtains last week and the men are now making window boxes for flowers. "I am sure that every Negro woman in America would have been proud of our men last Friday night when, during a moving picture show, pictures of some colored Red Cross women, some place in America, were thrown on the screen. Such a yell went up, and the men cheered themselves hoarse and cried out to the man who was operating to 'go slow and let the women linger with us just a little,' while one fellow patted the screen, saying: 'O, just let me put my hand on a Negro woman once more!' "The secretary called for three more cheers and had the operator to show the picture a second time." (Signed) Mrs. James L. Curtis." "P. S.: I saw Mrs. Hunton last week. She is well." HOWARD UNIVERSITY (Special to THE NEW YORK ACC.) WASHINGTON, U.S. - A announcement is made in a statement of President H. Shaury Dutce that all departments of Howe University will open October 1. It will have both a collegiate and a vocational section of the "Strategic" Army Training RURAL SCHOOLS MAKE PROGRESS $665,555,63 Raised to Erect Rosenwald School Houses in the South. RACE GIVES $194,480.68 Prof. Charles H. Moore Tells of the Good Work Being Done by the Juliana Rosenwald Schoolhouse Building Fund—Philanthropist Contributes $186,477.80. The outlook for Negro education in the South is encouraging, according to Prof. Charles H. Moore, State Inspector of Colored Schools, and agent of the Rosenwald Schoolhouse, buildings in North Carolina, who is visiting relatives and friends in Greater New York. One of the greatest constructive agencies in accelerating the progress of school work in the Southland is the Rosenwald Schoolhouse Building Fund, which has built hundreds of modern schoolhouses for colored children in the rural districts in recent years. In discussing the subject with a representative of The Age, Professor Moore said: "Besides his generous gifts in behalf of our people toward the erection of imposing structures for Y.M.C.A. work throughout the country, in my opinion the most far-reaching and beneficial of any of Julius Rosenwald's contributions is the one he has been making in aiding our people in the South to build better schoolhouses for the training and education of children in the rural districts. "When the State representatives of the Rosenwald Schoolhouse Building Fund were summoned to meet at Tuskegee Institute, from July 15 to the 20th, for a conference, it was there made known by means of a chart which had been provided by Monroe N. Work that up to July 1, 457 Rosenwald schoolhouses had been built in eleven Southern States. The total cost of these buildings amounted to $665,555,63, and of this amount Mr. Rosenwald gave $186,477,80. "The cofedored people helped in a financial way to the extent of $194,480,68. The remainder of the money came from the public school funds in the eleven Southern States and from white people who are friendly to the cause of Negro education. "You understand Mr. Rosenwald does not give his money outright, or, in other words, for nothing in return. He believes in helping people to help themselves." "For instance, the committee of Tuskegee Institute which represents his wishes in this propaganda, allows $400 on a one-teacher school and $500 on a two-teacher school, provided the parents in the district where the house is to be built and the public school authorities raise equally as much, or more, as the donation granted from the Rosewald fund. "By pursuing such a policy it has been a source of much encouragement and stimulation in schoolhouse building, not only for our people but to the public officials, who otherwise would not perhaps be so much interested in better schoolhouses for colored children. Make Good Showing in North Carolina. "While I have a general idea as to what has been accomplished in the other Southern States along this line, I can, however, speak more definitely of what has been done in North Carolina during the past three years, inasmuch as I have been working mostly during this period toward this end." "With the exception of Alabama, which has to its credit to July, 1918, 168 Rosenwald buildings. North Carolina has the next largest number, 84, costing $99,837.25. Of this amount Mr. Rosenwald gave $24,465. Our own people raised $37,368.75. The remainder of the money cane from the State and generous white friends. "I am advised, somewhat officially, that Mr. Rosenwald has agreed to set aside $140,000 this year with which to aid our people in building 300 schoolhouses, and when that amount is all used we can obtain another like donation. "Such being the case, I have been doing all I can this summer in the rural districts of the 'Old South State' in helping to diminish the appropriation. Furthermore, I believe I can safely say that, as a result of my efforts, there will be built this year not less than twenty-five splendid, modern Rosenwald schoolhouses for the educational training of thousands of neglected and almost forgotten little black boys and girls in the backwards of North Carolina." POLICE BRUTALLY BEAT UP AND SHOOT SOLDIER WITHOUT CAUSE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SWANN ACT WOULDN'T CHOP WOOD; TEN YEARS HARD LABOR (Special to The New York Ac.) BALTIMORE, Md.-Chopping wood to build fires for the suppers of his com- rades at Camp Meade, did not appeal to Arthur Stewart of the 31st Company of the 15th Depot Brigade. In fact, Stewart was so set against the job that he told his superior officer, Lt. John W. Taylor, that he would not do it. Stew- art, who lived in Baltimore, is sorry now. He will have plenty of time for repentance, for he has been sentenced to ten years' confinement at hard labor at Fort Jay, N. Y., forfeiture of all pay, and to dishonorable discharge from the Army. MALONES GIVE $1,200 TO TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE (Special to The New York Ac.) (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) TUSKEGEE, Ala., Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, announces the receipt of $1,200 from Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, executive heads of the Poro College of Hair Culture, St. Louis Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone have for a number of years manifested great interest in the work of Tuskegee and have on a number of occasions contributed to the work. The Poro College is one of the most successful business enterprises owned and operated by colored people. It is said that they employ nearly 100 young men and women at the St. Louis office and factory and do an average annual business of $250,000. BORDENTOWN STUDENT (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) BORDENTOWN, N. J., The Bordentown School now has three military instructors satisfied by the Student Army Training Corps, which has just closed at Howard University. They are Benjamin Jones, instructor of machine shop practice; Hiawatha Allen of New Brunswick, Norman Jones of Newark. The school, therefore, will be able to give its older boys even more advanced military training than hitherto, which will give young men about to be drafted a decided advantage. Leroy Council, a cadet captain in the school last year, has been made a top sergeant within three weeks after entering the cantonment at Upton. Harold Dore, a graduate of last year's class, has been accepted in a Canadian aviation corps, colored men not yet being received for this service in this country. Machinery is now being installed in the new trade building and intensive courses in mechanical work, electrical work, carpentry and vocational agriculture are being taught to qualified young men.

One of the most deliberate and unprovoked shootings in the area of New York occurred Wednesday evening of last week, when Private William Johnson, attached to the Depot Brigade at Camp Upton, shot four times and seriously wounded by Police Officers John Telleghan and Timothy Murphy of the 28th Precinct Police Station. The soldier is a patient at Bellevue Hospital. While his attending civians express hope of his ultimate recovery, it is feared that he will blind for life. Amsterdam avenue and Sixty-second street was the scene of this most brutal assault, which was witnessed by scores of colored and white residents of the Columbus Hill section. So horrified were onlookers over the inhuman manner in which Johnson was treated by the police that exclamations such as: "Don't hit him," "Don't shoot him," were made. But these exclamations only emboldened the police officers to do their best to do Johnson bodily harm. Nine-shots are said to have been fired by Officers Telleghan and Murphy. Four of them took effect, one in Johnson's head and three in his body. All but one have been extracted. During the shooting several persons narrowly escaped being hit by random bullets discharged by the two police officers. An Italian fruit dealer and his wife were compelled to precipitately leave their stand, as some of the bullets meant for Johnson found lodgement dangerously near them. The attention of the District Attorney has been directed to the shooting of the colored soldier and indictments may be returned against the police officers by the Grand Jury at any time. Johnson reached the automobile and become exhausted. "I have seen some brutal hours my time, and have lived in my known as the 'wild and weak' but for downright cruelly, the week Wednesday evening of last week most revolting. It was a moment man getting shot up for when Officers Telleghan and turned in their report of the soldier was to the effect that the soldier had been caught shooting and was shot while running. Telleghan asked the desk secretary a leave of absence, stating that he not feeling well. The National Association for the advancement of Colored People has cured the afflictions of seven people whose accounts of the shooting with that of Edward S. Blythe. Private Johnson's home is in the lumbus Hill District, and he is said have been in the city on leave. MORE RACE MEN The trouble started when the police insisted on arresting Johnson who, according to eye-witnesses, was looking at boys shooting craps and refused to run as did the participants when the police rushed upon the scene. Johnson remonstrated further against being arrested for nothing, and he did not show fight until the police began to club him over the head; then, although the nippers had been put on him, he took the club away from Telleghan and beat him with it and also kicked Murphy to the sidewalk. It was after the soldier had knocked down Telleghan twice that the latter cried out to Murphy "Let's shoot him!" which they proceeded to do. Johnson at no time showing resistance. Eye-Witness Tells of Shooting. Among the 42 aviators secured from onlookers and turned over to the District Attorney is one from Edward S. Baptist, 205 West 62nd street, who declares that he saw the disturbance from start to finish. Mr. Baptist gave a representative of THE Ace the following version of the shooting: "Last Wednesday, shortly after 5 o'clock some boys in the neighborhood were shooting craps on 62nd street, near Amsterdam avenue. While the game was in progress I noticed a soldier, who came out of 208 West 62nd street, proceed down toward where the boys were gambling. All he did was to look on. I am positive of that. "While the craps game was in progress someone yelled 'police' and everyone ran but the soldier. The police caught two of the craps shooters, but upon seeing the soldier, who made no effort to move, went up to him saying: 'We are going to arrest you.' "No, you are not going to arrest me, the soldier answered, and then began a tussle between the police on one hand and the soldier on the other to remove the latter from a post which he was holding. Through the combined effort of both officers they finally succeeded. "While taking their prisoner toward the southwest corner of Amsterdam and 62nd street, Telleghan and Murphy started to poke Johnson with their clubs. When he objected to this treatment they hit him over the head, although the nippers had been put on him. "This uncalled for attack so angered Johnson that he broke the nippers, knocked down Telleghan and kicked down Murphy." Telleghan arose and as he was about to strike Johnson with his club, the soldier took it away from him and gave the policeman such a whack over the head with the club that he again fell to the ground. Shoot from the Rear. "Telleghan by this time was in a half-dazed condition, and when he got up said to his partner: 'Let's shoot him! Then, they began to shoot at the soldier from the rear. Johnson was less than six feet away and I counted nine shots. One of the last struck the soldier in the head, for during all the firing he walked slowly ahead and did not turn until the bullet entered his skull. He was the gamenist man I ever saw under fire. "Johnson, with four bullet wounds, was then taken into custody by the police, put in an automobile, and carried to 20th Precinct Police Station, located on 20th street between Broadway and Johnson reached the automobile become exhausted. "I have seen some brutal insurrection my time, and have lived in what known as the 'wild and wildly' but for downright cruelty, the other Wednesday evening of last week, the most revolting. It was a one of no nocent man getting shot up for murder. When Officers Telleghan and he turned in their report of the shot which was to the effect that the soldier had been caught shooting and was shot while running. The Telleghan asked the desk anyone leave of absence, stating that he is not feeling well. The National Association for the advancement of Colored People has cured the affidavits of seven people whose accounts of the shooting lie with that of Edward S. Baptist. Private Johnson's home is in the lumbus Hill District, and he is said he have been in the city on leave.

C.—Announcement is made that a group of prominent colored physicians and surgeons have been appointed by the War Department to carry on a vigorous campaign of education, with a view to combatting the spread of venereal diseases in the camps and cantons of the country, where colored soldiers are stationed in appreciable numbers. The physicians thus far selected for this important work include: Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., formerly editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association; Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, surgeon-in-chief of Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia; Dr. Roscoe Brown of Richmond, Va., and Dr. Rolph A. Stewart of Washington, D. C. According to the plans adopted it is expected that every colored soldier in the Army will be reached by this educational work. The work of these physicians is to be supplemented by literature which has been prepared to meet the special needs of colored troops. This is now in press, and a pamphlet covering these subjects simply but thoroughly will be put into the hands of every colored soldier in the Army who is able to read. It is hoped to reach those who cannot read by specially-prepared pictorial placards and stereoception slides. The last mentioned work will be largely in the hands of a group of colored sergeants who are peculiarly adapted by education and training for this work. MAJ. WASHINGTON SENDS OUT WAR MESSAGE Major' Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, has sent this "war message" to his men "The War Department has authorized Hampton Institute to organize units of the 'Students' Army Training Corps for students eighteen years of age and over who pass the physical and educational qualifications. The Government will give each member of the Corps, board, free tuition and one dollar per day. "Those who accept the Government's offer will be inducted into the service, says General Crowder, and permitted to continue their studies until such time as they may be sent to (1) noncommissioned officers' schools, (2) officers' training schools, (3) or vocational schools, (4) or sent to camp for general service (see Official U. S. Bulletin, September 11, 1918). Attendance will be on the voluntary basis. Men in the Corps will not be placed in deferred classes, and may at any time be called out or transferred to the noncommissioned schools, vocational schools, or officers' training schools. "The Committee on Education and Special Training of the War Department has made the following announcement: 'In the curriculum . . . the average number of hours each week will be: Subjects including practical and theoretical military instruction and physical training, 11 hours a week; allied subjects . . . 42 hours a week.' "According to the official school calendar, new students will arrive on September 24; entrance examinations will be held September 25, and old students will arrive on October 1. "Please write without delay and let Hampton know whether or not you plan to join the Students' Army Training Corps. Many men will probably wish to grasp this opportunity of securing first-class military and other educational training at the Government's expense. "Education is worth some sacrifice of high wages. The increasing number of Negro troops will bring to many the opportunity of becoming officers. Already many of our Hampton men are serving as officers in France: Education and patriotism go hand in hand." BUILDING PURCHASED FOR WELFARE LEAGUE (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) NEWARK, N. J.—The Negro Welfare League has purchased the three story apartment building at 212 Bank street. The League has a membership of 300 to 400 colored and white. The Phyllis Wheatley Association will co-operate with the Welfare League and will occupy part of the building as a home for working girls. Mrs. E. P. Shrubey is president of the association. William Ashley is executive secretary of the League. One hundred and fifty colored soldiers of the 316th Labor Battalion, stationed at Port Newark, sang old familiar melodies of the race at the community singing on the City Hall steps Monday night. Mrs. Pannie Goode, wife of Deacon Eljah Goode of Calvary Baptist Church, E. Orange, died on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 150 Barclay street. The funeral was solemnized at Bethany Baptist Church on Thursday at 2:30 P. M., the Rev. G. W. Kryger officiating. Lie Auderson, formerly of Dothan, Ala., died on Monday after a brief illness. He is survived by three sons and three daughters, Mrs. Edward Bishop, Mrs. M. Oliver and Mrs. John Underwood. SOCIAL BETTERMENT IN EAST ST. LOUIS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) EAST St. Louis, Ill.-Since June, 1918, and prior to the community organization work undertaken by the Government, the Urban League of East St. Louis has been directing its efforts toward the social betterment of the entire community. The Government and the League activities being similar, it was decided by the War Community Organization Committee to include the expenses of the League of the next year in the general budget. This decision was reached at a conference called in Washington September 18 by Fred C. Beiler, Chief of the War Community Service, to discuss the plan of co-ordinating the industrial activities with those of existing agencies in East St. Louis. George Walker Buckner, formerly teacher in Tuskegee institute and for a short time employed in the League work in New York City, is its executive secretary. Engene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary, together with the Rev. George W. Allison and Mr. Willis and two other government welfare experts to be located in East St. Louis, was called to the conference in the interest of the work of the local League. In addition to financial backing by the Community Service Bureau, Mr. Jones urged that those in authority in East St. Louis take immediate steps to improve the housing conditions. The War Commission's program was gladly accepted by both citizens and the tracking interests, which have pleaded half of the $200,000 for the three years' program. This program includes the co-ordination of all agencies in any way connected with civic improvement, their work being supervised by experts in their particular fields. A committee of fifty representatives citizens, colored and white, has been selected to co-operate with the experts, carrying out suggestions and recommendations of an executive director. Their plans for the first year include the establishment of community centers, for both white and colored employees, to be equipped with every means for their development such as movies, auditoriums, day nurseries, shower baths, gymnasiums, etc. Physical and educational classes, domestic science, and first aid will also be features of the work. MINISTER ARRESTED MISTAKEN FOR RIOTER (Special to The New York Age.) (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) PHILADELPHIA, PA.-The Rev. John Saunders, pastor of Tenth Street Baptist Church of Camden, and a director of the Berean Building and Loan Association, who lives at 616 South 16th street, this city, was unlawfully placed under arrest Monday night and carried before an angry mob in Darby, he having just come from religious exercises in Morton. A magistrate soon convinced the crowd that this was not the man they wanted, and he told the officers they ought to have had more sense. They had mistaken him for a roister. The officer then spoke up, and said. "Well, you ought to keep him anyway for evidence. A Negro has been doing some shooting around here and we ought to teach them a lesson." Rev. Saunders contemplates a suit against the parties concerned. Dr. Hiram S Williams, one of the leading physicians of West Chester and well known in this city, was arrested on Sunday night for no other offense than protecting himself from assault by a crowd of thugs. He was released on his own recognition for a further hearing. KELLY MILLER BOUNDS (Special to THE NEW YORK ANN.) JERSEY CITY, N. Y.-Voicing a manly protest against the wrongs suffered by the American Negro, declaring unlimited patriotism a duty in this crisis and seeing but beneficial results for the race from the great conflict, Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, delivered an address marked by depth of thought and beauty of expression, under the auspices of the brotherhood of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church Friday night which equalled any effort ever heard here, Dean Miller hopes, with the great war is over, "democracy may be bounded on the south by the south pole, on the north by the aurora borealis, on the east by the rising sun and on the west by the day of judgment." Despite inclement weather the church was well filled and a return of Dean Miller would necessitate a larger building. The Rev. A. J. Dadder, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church (white) and Attorney Johi McMaster, leading members of the local bar, and Dr. Geo. E. Cannon spoke briefly at the conclusion of the address. Elder H. H. Cabaniss is president of the brotherhood. PERSONALITY OF NEW (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) WASHINGTON, D. C.-Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, the newly-appointed Minister to Liberia has been in the city during the past week on business connected with the Government. He reported to the officials at the State Department and made a most favorable impression.

Dr. Johnson has returned to his home in Columbia Ohio, where he will take an active part in the fourth Liberty Loan campaign, after which he will return to Washington to receive his instructions, preliminary to sailing, for his post in West Africa.

PRESIDENT THANKED FOR LIBERIAN LOAN Following is the copy of a letter addressed by Dr: Ernest Lyon to President Wilson, in acknowledgment of his support of the effort to secure the Liberian loan of $5,000,000: LIBERIAN CONSULAT GENERAL, Baltimore, Maryland, U. S. A. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 12, 1918. His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson President of the United States. White House. We seize upon this opportunity to express to you our deep and sincere feeling of gratitude for the satisfactory conference you granted a committee composed of Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Ilaq. William H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States; Dr. J. H. Dillard, president of the Slater and Jeanes Fund Boards; Dr. Thomas Jesse Joues, of the Bureau of Education; Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, and myself, who called in the interest of a loan of $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia. Your continued interest and potent influence has resulted in the hearty response of the Treasury Department to the appeal of the Government and people of the Republic of Liberia, the only Africanally against the common enemy, enjoying an independent sovereignty not only upon the Continent of Africa, but on this habitable globe. There are independent sovereignies composed of people purely or of African descent, in the brotherhood of nations, who still maintain a neutral attitude toward the enemies of freedom and democracy, but Liberia decided from the very moment Your Excellency announced to mankind that there was a state of war existing between the Government and people of the United States of America and the Imperial German Government that she would cast her lot on the side of the allies, following closely the example of Your Excellency, her good and powerful friend. This response to the appeal of the Liberian Government in this moment of the nation's need, brought about by the curtailing of the wartime communication, which has resulted in the demoralization of commerce between the civilized world and the West Coast, will not only hearten and stimulate the Liberian people to greater activities in winning for themselves a permanent place in the sun, but it will strengthen the morale and patriotism of the 12,000,000 colored Americans in this country, whose sons are now at the front engaged in fighting against autocracy and militarism. It was a President from the grand old State of Virginia who aided in the formulating of the Colony of Liberia, and history has repeated itself, by giving us again a President from Virginia, who by the nobility, of his character and the generosity of his nature has recognized the just claims of the little Republic. Posterity will revert with pride and hope to this event and will remember the great President whose action has saved Liberia HEART LEAF Hair Tone If you have short, nappy and harsh hair, or if you are troubled with dandruff, falling hair, breaking hair, itching scalp, DO NOT DELAY, but at once, HEART LEAF HAIR TONE, then watch the good results.

Buy a bond and don't forget the War Savings and Thrift Stamps. A KUKLUX REVIVAL. In another column will be found an article showing that the mysterious organization known as the Kuklux Klan is again operating in the South. According to the writer of the article the warnings of the "Invisible Empire" have been posted in hundreds of communities and it is reported especially strong in Alabama. Mobile and Birmingham are cited among the large cities where it has manifested itself by striking terror into the community. Ostensibly the organization is now engaged in seeking out alien enemies, those who are disloyal and those labor leaders who are instigating strikes among the workers. But there is every reason to believe that, as in the days of Reconstruction, this lawless band of midnight mauders, has as its immediate object the further oppression and subjection of the Negro population of the South. The enforcement of Negro labor to a condition of peonage may be expected from this organization, if it is allowed to continue its lawless course of violence and terrorization. The report of the revival of the abused Kuklux Klan should reserve the attention of the Department of Justice at once. If allowed to inaugurate another reign of terror in the South, untold damage may be done to the business and industries of that section, to say nothing of the widespread demoralization bound to be spread among the Nero population. The Negro of the South has constituted the most loyal portion of the population in the support of the war. He has furnished the largest number of volunteers to the army, a large proportion of the drafted men and has contributed liberally the proportion to his means to the purchase of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. He constitutes the backbone of Southern labor. It is certainly no more than just that he should be protected from the machinations of designing and unscrupulous oppressors, working under the cover of darkness and the gruesome attributes of the Kuklux Klan. The Government should repress the lawless activities of the Kuklux Klan at once. SOLDIERS' LETTERS. Personal letters from the soldiers abroad afford interesting side-ights as to their mental as well as their physical activities. It is sig- these letters are characterized by a healthy and normal sentiment, far removed from mawkish regrets on the one hand and strained heroics on the other. Homely at times, but all the more genuine for that reason, these soldiers relate the details of their daily life and the expectancy of active conflict with the unconcern of veterans. Nqr does the career of soldiering separate them from the thought and practice of religious observance. Rather it seems to invest their religion with greater meaning and solemnity. One corporal tells of a revival meeting, which ended with the baptizing of five comrades in the war zone, and concludes with the statement: "We took our first communion 'somewhere in France.'" And like the Scotch Covenanters these Negro soldiers will fight all the more bravely for having taken their religion into the army with them. Another phase of the soldiers' life is presented by a Virginia soldier boy, who writes that he and eight of his comrades are in school, training for master engineers. He betrays the spirit that animates the ambitious recruit, by the promise, "I shall do my best to make good, especially for the sake of the home folks." An expression in the same letter that will help dispel repeated doubts and insinuations is the following: "The Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross are two of the finest organizations connected with the Allied armies." They are playing a great and good game." A corporal in a medical detachment tells of his assignment with a company in the forestry service, which is kept at the peaceful but necessary work of operating a sawmill and sending the lumber to the front. Light is thrown upon the relations existing between the soldiers of the two races by this reference: "The camp for the white soldiers that man the mill is about 500 feet away. They have a Y. M. C. A. tent and we visit the movies there, as well as enjoy ourselves with their piano." But a corporal nearer the front, where "he hears the big iron fellows cough," goes further than this. He says: The stress and toil of battle has all but obliterated the color line. Here we are not colored or white, neither Northernners nor Southerners, but Americans, come to pay back in a measure the debt we owe France for Rochambeau and Lafayette. And as such the French regard us. That same feeling of comradeship that makes the white soldier from Georgia share his rations and drink out of the same canteen with the black soldier from Ohio, is surely going to have its effect after the war in helping America to find her true "place in the sun." All of which goes to show that a lot of unnecessary pains have been taken to keep the white and black soldiers separated over here, when the lines of demarcations are going to be wiped out "over there." WOMEN IN WAR WORK. The following dispatch, printed in the New York Tribune, shows an insidious attempt to enforce field labor upon the black women of Arkansas, upon a most frivolous pretext: PINE BLUFF, Ark., Sept. 21.—Aleging that Negro women are refusing to perform any labor and are living on allotments paid them through drafted relatives, thereby causing a serious shortage of cotton pickers and farm labor, local business men and planters today began a movement to have the "work or fight" order applied to women. An investigation of the reasons why these women refused to work in the fields will probably show that the compensation offered them is inadequate, and the planters are determined to draft their labor upon their own terms. That the colored people of the South have been and are meeting every demand upon them in meeting their share in the issues of the war has been fully demonstrated on every occasion. At the recent meeting of the Women's Council of National Defense in Georgia, resolutions were adopted congratulating the colored people of that State VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTINUING BETTER There is no doubt that the Southern senators are in a hole on the Suffrage Amendment now pending. A vote has been set for this week, and, for most of them, it is a case of damned if they do, and damned if they don't. The women of the North and West are urging that the measure be brought up and passed, and they have their states behind them; the women of the South are silent, they dare not say out aloud that they want the vote. All of the politicians of the South are bitterly opposed, and their opposition is involved in the race question. Southern legislatures are memorializing Congress to reject the so-called Susan B. Anthony amendment. The House has passed the measure, and it is now up to the Senate. The senators from the majority of the Southern States find themselves between the dictates of race prejudice on one hand and the dictates of enlightened and progressive thought on the other. If it were not that the amendment concerns such an important matter, the position of these Southern senators would be laughable. We can easily imagine what a sweat their predicament puts them in. If they vote against the amendment, they go on record against the trend of progressive politics not only in this country, but in England, and even Japan. And, what no doubt worries them still more, they place the Democratic party in a position that may lead to its defeat in the coming congressional elections and the presidential election in 1920. If they vote for the amendment, they will place the ballot in the hands of the colored women of the South; and, as we pointed out last week, the colored women will not yield or neglect their right to vote in the manner that the colored men have done. Talk about being between the devil and the deep sea; that is the exact locality now occupied by most of the senators from the South. In spite of the importance and seriousness of the question at issue; it is impossible not to smile at the absurd position into which it is forcing the Dixie statesmen. Take, for example, some of the memorials that are being sent to Congress. A few days ago Senator Ransdell of Louisiana sent to the desk a copy of an act of the Louisiana Legislature memorializing Congress in regard to women suffrage, and asked that it be printed in the Record.. The memorial was printed, and reads as follows: (Act No. 10, house concurrent resolution No. 9, by Mr. Stewart.) Whereas under a government existing and exercising its authority by votes of the people it is obvious that whatsoever power shall declare who shall vote will control that government; and Whereas if a people shall themselves declare who among them shall exercise the franchise they are free, and if external power shall control that privilege they are not free; and Whereas in the formation of this Union by the several States under the Federal Constitution this vital political principle was solemnly recognized and guaranteed as applicable to each separate State for reasons appertaining to the origin of their population, their homogeneity, their existing forms of local government, their wide separation, differences of climate and forms of life and activity, all of which reasons exist today and will forever endure; and Whereas never but once since the formation of this Government has this principle been violated, and then only in the passionate bitterness following civil war, when normal judgment and justice had been stricken down, and when a great section of the Union, though most affected by the change, was permitted no voice therein; and Whereas this grievous error, perpetuated in the fifteenth amendment, has curtailed the free flow of the energies of the white race of the South, circumscribed their effort for progress, restricted their genius for government, and denied to them the free development allowed to their brethren elsewhere in the Union; and Whereas this first violation of State integrity has injuriously affected the political liberty and material welfare of only one section of the Nation, it is only too clear a guide what will happen to the whole people when State government is destroyed, the Union becomes an empire, controlled, dominated, and governed by one section, as Germany by Prussia, the laws made at one place in ignorance and indifference to the local well-being of those in another too distant to influence their making; and Whereas there is presently pending before the Senate of the United States in the so-called Susan B. Anthony amendment a measure designed as a second attack upon State control of its own electorate, which measure not only accentuates the evil already committed and condones the fraud in the commission but which will pave the way for further Federal control of State electorates, to the final destruction of the liberties of the people; and Whereas the blood and treasure of the people is being justly and freely poured out to make the world safe for democracy, which great principle applies to an American State as well as to a European State; and Whereas this principle is boldly violated in this Federal attempt to impose franchise laws on the States; Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives of the people of Louisiana (the Senate concurring). That the Congress of the United States be, and it is hereby memorialized to reject the so-called Miss Susan B. Anthony amendment to the Federal Constitution, requiring each State to grant suffrage to the female sex, without choice or limitation, and authorizing Federal power to enforce the amendment, the said Congress of the United States to declare by this action that the democracy of each separate American State is safe against the force and power of a combination of other American States; and be it further. Resolved, That we call upon our sister States of the Union to likewise declare for State integrity and the safety of American democracy and vigorously oppose Federal interference or control with State franchises; be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to each House of Congress in the United States. We thought at first to omit some of the above "wherecases," but the whole memorial is such a fine illustration of the illogical distemper into which the Southern mind is thrown by the race question that we reproduce it all. Read over the first and the second "whereas," then try if you upon the excellent showing of Americanism made by them. The board also offered to any organizations of colored women such instructions for war work among women as may come to this committee from Washington. In view of such expressions as this the plea of the Arkansas planters can easily be shown to be without just foundation and based upon the desire to enforce a state of peonage among the women, which may swell the profits of the planters by enabling them to secure field labor at a nominal figure, or for no pay at all. The matter should receive a rigid investigation before the "work or fight" order is extended to this class of women. without just foundation and based upon the desire to enforce a state of peonage among the women, which may swell the profits of the planters by enabling them to secure field labor at a nominal figure, or for no pay at all. The matter should receive a rigid investigation before the "work or fight" order is extended to this class of women. can to imagine the state of Louisiana as a framed and adopted this resolution. When does the Louisiana Legislature refer to when it speaks of "the people"? We do not need to read the paragraphs through twice to see that "the people" means only the white people of Louisiana. According to the census of 1910 there were in the State of Louisiana 941,086 white people, and 713,874 colored people. These 713,874 colored people are declared by the Constitution of the United States to be American citizens, yet the Legislature of Louisiana talks about "the people," while absolutely excluding nearly one-half of the population from the term. We should like to ask, what sort of a show do the colored citizens of Louisiana stand with a set of men at the head of the state who do not even regard them as a part of "the people?" The fourth, fifth and sixth "whereas" contain the germ that makes Southern politicians go mad and froth at the mouth; that makes them lose their reason and utter imbecilities that you would not hear in an insane asylum. The cause of all this madness is the outcome of the Civil War and the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. As an evidence of the effect of this madness, read the last two "whereases." We repeat them here to save the reader the trouble of going back: "Whereas the blood and treasure of the people is being justly and freely poured out to make the world safe for democracy, which great principle applies to an American state as well as to a European state; and "Whereas this principle is boldly violated in the Federal attempt to impose franchise laws on the States: Now, therefore, be it" Here we have a set of men, the elected legislators of a great State, memorializing Congress to defeat a measure which proposes to extend the right to vote to all the citizens of that state, and at the same time defending their action by referring to the war to "make the world safe for democracy." Perhaps there might be found an equal number of men in some home for the feeble minded who would publicly put themselves in the same absurd position, but we doubt it. Now the terrible thought arises, if this is the idea which the legislators have of "making the world safe for democracy," what must be the idea held by the average "cracker" of the Pelican State? ABUSE OF THE "WORK OR FIGHT" SLOGAN. We continue to get reports of the abuse of the "Work or Fight" slogan in Southern communities. The latest was a despatch carried in the New York dailies this week, which stated that the business men and planters of Pine Bluff, Ark., were planning to make a rigid application of the work or fight order to women, alleging that colored women living on allotments received on account of drafted relatives refuse to work. The despatch couples up this information with the further information that it is impossible to secure sufficient hands to pick the cotton crop. If it were intended to apply this order to all the women of Pine Bluff and vicinity, the action would still be open to criticism; but we know full, well that it is intended to apply it only to colored women, and most likely to colored women whose only work has always been the taking care of their homes. Some Southern communities have passed ordinances making it necessary for all men, at least colored men, to carry work cards; if found without these cards they are liable to arrest. We have heard of instances in which this card system has been used to reduce wages. In a furniture factory the manager told the colored workmen that he would have to reduce their wages. The men said they would quit because there was plenty of work at good wages. The manager said, "All right, quit, but turn in your work cards." The men turned in their cards, and before they could get home, the manager telephoned the police, and the men were arrested for being without cards. Of course, the Government never intended any such meaning to be read into the work or fight order. The order means that men of draft age will either have to fight or work in some essential industry. The idea of including women and of profit for private employers does not enter. The Advancement Society, through its secretary, Mr. Shillady, has taken up this Pine Bluff matter with President Wilson and the Governor of Arkansas; and in doing so, it has undertaken something of the most vital importance to the race. This abuse of the work or fight order could result in actual peonage of our people in the South or could bring about an absolute stop of their free movement in search of better employment. ```markdown ``` can to imagine the framed and adopted this recollection.

LIBERIAN FLAG IN VIRGINIA. To the Editor of The New York Age: We cannot resist the impulse to mention our appreciation of the national manhood shown by the Liberian Government in the face of the fact that 80 per cent of her commercial business was with Germany, yet she dared to declare herself with the Allies for a world democracy. This appreciation of ours led us to purchase and float, with the Stars and Stripes, the flag of this "Lone Star" Republic. We believe that we are the only possessors of this flag; at least, in the state of Virginia, and Suffolk is the only town in our knowledge, that floats this Liberian flag with the flags of the Allies. By an order of Mr. Robert Williams, the National Equipment Company of New York made and sent this flag to him. It was stated by them that it was the first and only order of this kind ever placed with them. When we consider the fact that this Republic is almost isolated by distance from all of the most powerful governments, and being unprotected by the Monroe Doctrine, which protects the Latin American countries from any wanton invasion, yet, she dared to issue that war manifesto in Germany's face, unfinishingly, it does seem to us that we should be a little more appreciative, and even proud of such national bravery, shown by this Negro Republic. Especially should we of Virginia feel more closely related to this, Republic, as the state of Virginia was the first to suggest and foster the plan and movement, in establishing a Republic on the shores of Africa for freedom. One may see the stirs and stripes of this Government, with the flags of the European Allies, France, England and Italy, unfurled to the breeze, side by side, and hear the deafening "hurrahs" of their patrols. Why then should the Negroes of America not feel that same patrol pride for the stars and stripes of that Negro Government, the emblem of their national independence? Let us hope that every Negro will be inspired to purchase, and float to the breeze the flag of the Republic of Liberia, with the flag of this great American people. JAMES W.

The first "Invisible Empire," which was brought into being by General Forrest after the civil war to offset the evils of carpetbag rule, has been succeeded by a second Invisible Empire. The Kuklux Klan—silent, daring and terrible—is once more organized in many localities of the South. In hundreds of communities its warnings are being posted. Not many days since, at Mobile, Ala., the unseen hand of the Kuklux Klan stretched forth. Great shipbuilding yards are already turning out ships there for the Government, and other docks are in process of construction. A double-barreled strike of workers had been arranged—the stevedores at the docks' and the washerwoman of the city were to be called out simultaneously by a self-appointed but locally powerful leader. There was no desire on the part of the workers to quit work. Both stevedores and washerwomen were making good wages and hundreds of them had put savings into Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. They had contributed to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. But the strike was to be called, nevertheless. Then a rumor spread, from what source is not known, that the man planning the strike was in personal danger, Ostensibly to protect him from what threatened, he was arrested, put into a patrol wagon and was being taken to the police station one night when, as the patrol wagon was rounding a dark corner, it was stopped by a squad of automobiles. Each car was covered with white cloth and each bore the insignia of the Invisible Empire—"the fiery cross of old Scotland." Men leaped out of the cars, each completely disguised under the ghostly garb of the Kukluk Klan. The driver of the patrol wagon saw rifles pointed at him, gave up his prisoner, and drove back to the police station. Was the arrest, with the patrol wagon, a part of the Klan's plan for capturing its victim and spiritizing him away? Who knows? No strike was called. Just what became of the strike agitator has not been told. Virtually the same incident, with the patrol wagon left out, has been repeated at Birmingham, Ala. A strike leader appeared in the neighborhood of the great mills in the suburbs of the town. His appearance was the first intimation that any one, even the workers in the mills, had that a strike might take place. Despite the fact that there was no work, the workers to work this leader laid his plaus for a walkout on considerable proportions. But suddenly the arm of the Invisible Empire was put forth in the darkness. There was no strike. The man has not been heard of since. The Invisible Empire has caused the information to be circulated that it is first of all, on the lookout for alien enemies, for the disloyal, and for the fellow who is seeking to begin a strike. Presumably the anonymous leaders of the Klan make a distinction between the loyal union laborer and the laborer who is infected with the I. W. W. spirit, even though he may not be a member of that organization. When there is no trouble brewing in labor circles, or among disturbers-suspected of being alien enemy sympathizers, the Klan goes after the idlers and slackers. For these the preliminary action is a public warning. It is believed that this warning will be heeded. If not, individual idlers and slackers will be picked out by the Klan and special warnings will be given them. Should these fall in any case, the Klan is prepared to take more drastic action. In Montgomery the Klan has warned immoral women that they must keep away from the soldiers in Camp Sheridan. The Invisible Empire apparently has public sentiment behind it, as in the seventies. Its organization is much the same as in the seventies. Wherever it is organized it is made-up of some of the best men in the community. Neither strangers nor half-strangers are taken in. The shrewdest detective might find it impossible to penetrate into the inner circles of the Empire. The disguise, as in the old days, is completely effective. The long, white robe hides a man's body as well as his face. Even the horses or automobiles are similarly covered. General Forrest and his associates knew full well the fear of the unseen and the unknowled. The founders of the second Invisible Empire had been fighting against this fear to make drastic action unnecessary except in special instances. But, in addition to the terror of the unseen in the darkness, the Klan is ready to make every warning good, and it is known to be composed of men who are sworn to do their part fearlessly, whatever consequences may imend. While many communities in the South are much larger than in the days of the first Empire, there are few so large as to make its operations a failure. It might be impossible for the Khan to do its work in the larger cities of the North, but in Southern cities it has not been thwarted. It is notably active in Mobile, which has now nearly 10,000 population, and Birmingham, with 200,000. Each community in the South knows whether it is as yet organized into the Invisible Empire. We know of one community that two weeks ago had no Klan. Now there is a Klan in the community that two weeks ago had no But no one, except the Klansman, knows who its members are, and probably no outsider will know until the war is over.

JUVENILE ACTORS CAPTIVATE BROADWAY (BY LESTER A. WALTON) BOOTH TARKINGTON'S stories of "Penrod" have not lost any of their fascination by taking on dramatic form. In fact, this metamorphosis from fiction to the stage affords the public a larger measure of wholesome entertainment and a better opportunity to laugh and smile at the antics of youth, as those who have attended a performance of this new play at the Globe Theatre will attest. Edward E. Rose has taken these interesting stories and adroitly weaved them into a dramatic offering which transports the theatregoer into the realm of adolescence, where the world is young and the conduct, or misconduct of juveniles excites merriment only. The stories of "Penrod" always found favor with me because of Mr. Tarkington's introduction of Negro characters and his broad treatment of them. At no time has he sought to make his colored boys ridiculous as many of our white writers are prone to do. He has faithfully visualized the pleasant relations usually existing between white and colored boys of an early age, without a suggestion of racial inferiority except incidentally in an economic sense. So, when I went to the Globe Theatre Friday evening of last week to see the play it was with apprehension and misgivings, for I was fearful that in his adaptation Mr. Rose had allowed himself to make his Negro characters more of a burlesque merely to please those who want colored people portrayed as they think they should be and not as they really are. In all justice to Mr. Rose, I can truthfully state that I was not given the disagreeable shock anticipated. The two colored boys in the cast are permitted to act natural, and they romp about and play detective with their playmates as white and colored boys are wont until the demon race prejudice asserts itself. It was particularly gratifying to observe that the drama has not taken pattern after the movies which are insistent that colored people be shown on the screen using what is regarded as Negro dialect only. The colored actors in "Penrod" use plain "United States" which is readily understood by all. Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger and George C. Tyler, producers of the play, are to be congratulated for being broad enough to use real colored boys to depict race characters. This innovation is refreshing and a welcome relief from the exaggerated and overdone acting of most white actors who appear in Negro roles. Thomas McCann as Hermann and Charles Whitfield as Verman are the two youthful colored comedians who, unheralded, have set Broadway to talking. They appear in the second and third acts and contribute in a large measure to the fun-making. So cordial was the reception accorded them Friday evening of last week when they responded to curtain calls that the remark was made by someone seated in back of me: "They seem to be very popular." The diminutive Charles Whitfield as Verman, with an impediment in his speech, does much to quicken the action of the piece throughout the second and third acts, and Thomas McCann as Herman disports himself like one in everyday life. Both youngsters made a most favorable expression. Their ages are seven and twelve years, respectively. On Andrew Lawlor, as Pemrod ```markdown ``` Schofield, rests the responsibility which always falls on the shoulders of the leading character in a play, and he fills the role most acceptably. Richard. Ross as Sam Williams is another young actor who comes in for a large slice of commendation. He was at his best in the last act while undergoing crossquestioning. Helen Hayes, as Margaret Schofield, is convincing, although the expression "colored boys" would sound much better than "darkkeys" in making reference to Herman and Verman, coming from the lips of such a dainty miss. Some of the other members of a well-balanced cast are: Helen Chandler, as Marjorie Jones; Catherine Emmet, as Mary Schofield, mother of Penrod; Edmund Elton, as Henry P. Schofield, the father; John Davidson, as Herbert Hamilton Dade, and William Canfield, as the Rev. Lester Kinosling. The characters of the piece are consistently sustained throughout, with the exception of Verman, who makes his final bow in the last act on the outside of the Schofield residence. He is heard but not seen. In this instance Mr. Rose has overlooked an opportunity to build up a most humorous situation between Henry P. Schofield and Verman. But as the last scene in the play is the Schofield sitting room, it is obvious that the dramatist was reluctant about bringing Verman into the house for fear of arousing the ire of the theatregoers who have peculiar notions about the bugaboo—"social equality." "Penrod" will be a big success on the stage just as Mr. Tarkington's stories have been in fiction because the characters ring true because they actually represent life itself. The American stage should profit in many ways by the advent of "Penrod." SMARTER SET CO. IN 'DARKEST AMERICANS' The Smarter Set Company, with S. T. Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, is playing to capacity houses at the Lafayette Theatre this week, appearing in the company's latest production, "Darkest Americans," programmed as "a two-act musical comedy." S. T. Whitney and J. Homer Tutt continue to make progress in the musical comedy world, despite many handicaps and a situation none too favorable for colored musical shows. They have developed some ludicrous situations in "Darkest Americans," and next to their efforts as funmakers Emma Jackson and Virginia Wheeler attract more than ordinary attention. Of course there "are some funnel numbers, "Jolly Jazz Joy Rule," "Blue Fever," "That Creole Flower Garden of Mine" "The Sambos Will Get You if You don't Watch Out" taking rank as the song hits of the show.

TO PRESENT "ARGYLE CASE" AT LAFAYETTE "The Argyle Case" will be the next attraction at the Lafayette Theatre, and it is advertised as having plenty of thrills. It is a detective play by Harritt Ford and Harvey J. O'Lliaggs, who received the co-operation of the well-known detective, William J. Burns. The mystery of the Argyle murder has been wrought out by the great criminal investigator as if he were employed to solve it in real life. The Burns' methods are employed by Detective Kayton, the leading character in the production, and revelations made not only from deduction, but by practical work on the part of the other operatives, will be shown by the colored artists.

G.—In the First African Baptist Church in Bouaufort, which is one of the largest churches in town, is a Woman's Missionary and Educational Society. This society was organized in 1915 by Mrs. G. A. Murray of Charleston, who is the district president. At its organization there were only a few who connected themselves with the society, but each year it has grown numerically and financially. The society adopted as its motto: "The World for Christ." During the past year they enrolled eighteen new members; among them are all the deacons except two. The clerk of the church has also joined the society. At a recent anniversary of the society, the secretary, in her annual report, said: "We feel proud to report that every member of this society has done a little home mission work of some kind. Whenever an appeal comes to us, regardless of denomination, we have helped every one, and the influence of this little band of workers is being felt at home and abroad. Our foreign mission donation consists of fancy articles made by the sisters, and sent to the State Convention every year. Last year we sent fourteen pieces, which were sold, and what prices they brought were credited to this society for foreign missions. Collections for the past year have been the largest in the history of the society. By monthly dues, $24.75; from socials, $9.45; special collections, $11.30; by personal effort of Sister Claudia Brown, $14.14 Total, $59.64. Our disbursements were as follows: Charity, $5.25; sent to the State Convention, $15. The society made a donation toward the purchase of a communion set for the church. During the past year, the society has three members by death, namely: Sisters Catherine Johnson and Mary Sisters, and Brother Arthur Fisher. At the recent anniversary of this society, Mrs. J. I. Washington presided, the Scriptures were read by Mrs. Sarah Glover; prayer by Mrs. McGill; the reading of the secretary's report by Ms. Lizzie Mixon. The anniversary sermon was preached by the Rev.
