Cannon in Answer to Protest of National Medical Association that He Cannot Suspend "Jim Crow" Car Laws—Passengers Should Not Complain So Long as No Class of Travelers Is Given Advantage Over the Other. The Government will promptly investigate complaints of discrimination against Negroes on railroads is the word received by Dr. George E. Cannon, chairman of the National Medical Association, in response to a communication sent the Hon. W. G. McAdoo, Director General of Railroads, together with a declaration adopted at the annual convention of the National Medical Association. The communication to Dr. Cannon on the subject bears the signature of Ballard Dunn, assistant actuary, and reads in part: Mr. McAdoo has asked me to acknowledge receipt of your letter requesting an engagement to present the resolution of the National Medical Association in favor of the abolishment of the so-called 'Jim Crow car system' during these strenuous times of war times. The Director General's day is pretty well occupied with problems which he is expected to solve. As the laws requiring separate accommodations for white and colored passengers were enacted by certain states, and held by the Supreme Court to be constitutional, it clearly is not within the power of the Director General to suspend them. That being the case, I feel sure that you will not press your request for an interview on a matter over which he has no control. "I have read the resolutions of the National Medical Association with a great deal of interest; and appreciate what you say about the loyalty of the called people in the war with Germany, and especially of the sacrifices the young men of your race are making in France. There is no doubt about the attitude of the colored folks on all great American questions, and I want you to know that complaints of unfair treatment of or discrimination against colored people traveling on or working for the railroads will be promptly in investigated and properly dealt with. Under the law, railroad facilities colored passengers must be adequate If you have any specific complaints. I wish you would let me know the particulars. At this time when there is unusually heavy travel, and the government is making every effort to move troops and military freight to the end that our soldiers in foreign lands shall not be retarded in their progress toward Berlin, there is going to be congestion on trains and in stations. Travelers will suffer inconvenience and annoyance, and I believe you will agree with me that it is their patriotic duty to do so without complaining, so long as no class of travelers is given an advantage over another class."

Moore, At the occasion of your departure, permit me to express to you my regrets and those of the whole population. From the very day of its arrival your regiment by its behavior and its military appearance excited the admiration of all of us. Of the sojourn of yourself and your colored soldiers amongst us we keep the best memory and remember your regiment as a picked one. From the beginning a real brotherhood was established between your soldiers and our people, who were glad to welcome the gallant allies of our France. Having learned to know them, the whole population holds them in great esteem and we all join in saying the best of them. I hope that the white troops replacing your regiment will give us equal satisfaction, but whatever their attitude may be they cannot surpass your 349th Field Artillery. Please accept the assurance of my best and most distinguished feelings. G. DE FONT-REAULX, Assistant Mayer. Before leaving for France the 349th Field Artillery was stationed at Camp Dix, N. J.

FRENCH REPUBLIC NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1918. 32 DINING CAR MEN ARRESTED Stewards, Waiters and Chefs of New Haven Road are Accused of Conspiracy to Defraud. Read Is Said to Have Lost $30,000 Last Year on Account of the Use of Bogus Dining Car Checks—Defendants Required to Furnish Bail of $3,000 Each. (Special to The New York Ace.) Boston, Mass.—As a result of a general round-up in New York, New Haven, Springfield and this city by Federal authorities, thirty-two stewards, waiters and chefs employed on the dining cars of the New Haven Railroad, flying between Boston and New York, have been arrested, charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States government. The men arrested in this city were captured at the south station, where they were about to board trains, the arrests in the various railroad terminals being timed so as to haul in the loose ends of the dragnet at the same hour and make a clean-up of a band of alleged swindlers who have profited, according to the authorities, to the extent of about $30,000 last year by means of bogus dining car checks. $3,000 Bail for Each. All of the men arrested in this city were required to furnish bail of $3,000 each. The agents of the Department of Justice went through the formality of dining just to see now the methods worked. They charge that they detected a waiter handing them a bogus check for the meal, and followed this up by finding the check on the person of the waiter's confederate, both being arrested. Eight of the defendants in the several States are stewards, seven chefs and seventeen waiters. Of those arrested here six are said to have confessed, one stating that he had profited to the extent of $1,800. John P. Wharton, a printer, is alleged to have been caught with the plates of the fraudulent checks in New York. The clean-up was put through by Daniel A. Sbea, Assistant United States District Attorney, of this city, assisted by James R. McMahon, head of the railroad special agents. The investigation made by the government preceding the arrests disclosed that for some time past certain stewards, acting in conjunction with chefs and waiters in the dining cars plying between Boston and New York, were engaged in systematic fraud against the government. That the stealing has been carried on for years prior to the taking over of the various systems by the government, is the belief of the Federal authorities. Cut Down Portions. The plotters, it is said, secured a large supply of counterfeit dining car meal checks. When passengers bought meals in many instances the false checks would be used in place of the regular ones, and in this way the employees were enabled to pocket the proceeds. The swindlers are also said to have cut down the size of steaks and other portions served and to have reaped an illegal profit on this practice as well. The arrest caused a sensation in railroad circles, where the system in use on the dining cars was regarded as perfect. WOMAN'S VOLUNTEER (Special to The New York Am) NEWARK, N. J. A Colored Woman's Volunteer Service League has been organized, as a branch of the Mayor committee of the Woman's Council of National Defense, and has opened headquarters at 249 Mulberry street, where colored soldiers may be made "at home" and entertainment provided.

Scott of 1830 Army avenue Atlantic City was killed and Nancy Doubt, 733 Brooklyn street, was seriously burned, the result of an explosion at the Eddystone Ammunition Corporation Plant. Scott was behind the barrier. The force of the explosion blew him over the top of the buffer wall and threw him against Building A, killing him intently. Although White and Colored Girls Have Been Eating Together at Lunch Hour Without Friction Pleasant Relations are Severed by "Jim Crow" Order. (Special to The New York Am) PHILADELPHIA Pa.—The Colored Protective Association of this city is investigating the charge made by colored female munition workers that the Vardaman brand of "democracy" has been introduced at the Eddystone Munition Plant, creating ill feeling not calculated to improve the morale of the employees. Although colored and white girls had been eating at the same tables in the dining room of the plant without friction, someone with peculiar ideas as to democracy issued a ruling that the colored girls should eat at certain tables and not sit wherever it was convenient. Munition dining room at the Eddystone Munition Plant by the women workers is L-shaped. When one day last week three colored girls took seats at the first table just outside the L, one of the waitresses in a most discourteous manner ordered them to go to the three tables set aside for colored. "If you don't get up I'll get the guards and have you taken out," the waiter is allowed to know. The girls, in a dignified manner, refused to leave their seats and the waitress continued to make insulting remarks. Then she called in two guards to evict them. The guards sought to induce the colored girls to take seats elsewhere, but the latter continued to eat their lunch and refused to move until they had finished. In the meantime, white and colored girls of both races stood on the benches and watched the verbal battle. On the following day the woman who sells the checks for food is alleged to have asked the girls to stand in separate lines—the white female mumition workers in one and the colored in another. The colored workers refused to be further humiliated and left the dining-room without buying anything. The colored girls have reported to the Colored Protective Association that the coffee urn is the "dead line," for they cannot secure service above the urn. LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN (Cpecial to The New York Act) Citico, Ill.—The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign was launched here on the afternoon of Sept. 29, at the Eighth Regiment Armory, with great success, Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court, Washington, D. C., was the principal speaker. His address was one of the best ever heard here. Six thousand persons were packed into the big auditorium and hundreds were turned away. A parade, embracing all of Chicago's organizations, preceded the meeting at the Armory. The following telegram from Emmett I. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, was read amid great applause: Washington, D. C., Sept. 28.—I regret exceedingly my inability to be present at launching of Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign at Eighth Regiment Armory, owing to important official engagement that necessitates my presence here. Have been deeply impressed by splendid record being made by colored Americans generally along patriotic and other useful lines so beautifully consistent with the exceptionally fine record being made by colored soldiers in France—all tending to back up our Government in its revocable determination to win a war, the outcome of which I believe will mean freedom and justice to all mankind. Every dollar loaned, every sacrifice made, every useful service performed will give to ourselves the rich consciousness of duty well done and will tend to win for colored Americans the fullest measure of American opportunity. $8 200 RAISED FOR EDUCATION AND MISSIONS Special to The New York Age Special to The New York Am. PINK BLYT, Ark.-In a great mass meeting at the Arkansas Industrial College, eight thousand two hundred dollars was raised for education and missions. Bishop R. A.

NEW HEROES OF OLD 15TH. Fourteen Negro members of the 369th Infantry, formerly the 15th from New York, have been decorated with the Croix de Gouen for conspicuous gallantry in the recent big counter drive in France in which the Germans were put to flight and ever since have been on the defensive.

William Hayward; who, before leaving New York, ventured the prediction that his boys would prove their worth as fighters under fire, is highly enthusiastic over the remarkable showing made by the New York regiment, and has nothing but praise for them. Following is what Lincoln Eyre, staff correspondent of the New York World, has to say of the conduct of the old 15th which is now making history "over there": WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE; Aug. 31. There is a certain Negro regiment over here in France to whom, were they to march down Fifth avenue today, every hat in New York would be off. They constitute the first Negro force Uncle Sam has sent to the European battle fields. Today many thousands of their race have donned the uniform of their country and been ferryed across the Atlantic. But to the first outfit that came belongs the glory of proving that New York Negroes can fight as ably and valiantly for democracy as their white comrades. I visited the rest billets to which the regiment had just been ordered after more than four months on the firing line. Everybody, white officers and Negro men, were eager to tell what the outfit had done, and everybody had something of interest to say. There was a great change in their outlook since I had seen them last, three months before. Then, they were greenhorns in one of the quietest sectors of the front, with a knowledge of warfare confined to little patrol encounters in no man's land. Now they are seasoned soldiers to whom attack and counter attack, the crushing strain of incessant bombardment, the stealthy horrors of poison gas, wholesale carnage, sleepless nights and foodless days are all in the day's work. What the Colonel Thinks. I asked the regimental commander, whom New York remembers best as a Public Service Commissioner, what he thought of his men. (Col. William Hayward, commander of the old 15th N.G. N, Y., was formerly a Public Service Commissioner.) "What I have always thought," he said with a contented grin "that they're just as good soldier material as the United States can produce. I guess a good many others take the same view now, after the regiment's showing in the offensive of July 15. There were doubters, even in the regiment. Lots of people thought the Negro would flinch under heavy shelling or under gas or when Boche bayonets were tickling his ribs. "Well, since July 15 my boys have endured what the French say is the most colossal artillery preparation the Germans have ever made. all kinds of gas, bayonets by the thousand and every other kind of punishment the enemy has in stock. They've stood up in it all, done everything that was demeaned of them—a good deal sometimes, too—and come through with colors flying and spirits high. I don't believe there are many better soldiers in this war than these Negro boys. I haven't seen any." Believed by French In the first days of July the regiment was relieved by French dismounted cavalry and ordered into new positions a mile or so west of their former sector. Here they put in several strenuous days getting things ready to withstand the German tidal wave they knew was soon to sweep toward them. The three kattailions were echeloned in depth on a narrow front just behind Ville sur Tourbe, on the eastern fringes of the Champagne Plain. An epidemic of influenza had reduced their strength in officers by almost a third. Three company commanders had to be carried to The New York Daily is RELIABLE.

I learned what the regiment had accomplished before, during and since the formidable German drive of July 15. As early as the first week in June the French division of which the outfit then formed a part had wind of the impending onslaught. At that time the Negroes were holding the sector they had taken over in the middle of April, on the edge of the Argentine Forest, north of Sainte Menehoud. One battalion was in the front line, one in immediate support and one in rest three or four miles back. Each battalion had twenty days at the front and ten days in the rear. In preparation for the offensive, the rearmost battalion was brought up to the front, and from that time on until it was relieved the regiment did without rest. During their first two months in June the New Yorkers had had a placid time of it. They escaped more than perforatory shelling and their casualties were so few as to set a low-water mark for even that tranquil sector. Not until the night of June 12 did they receive a real "strafing" at the enemy's hands. On that night the Boeche launched the "Billion Dollar Raid," as the Negroes hit it, one of them having figured the amount as the cost of the shells used in the preparation fire. On one counterfront, in the Haury Wood, from Krupp 77's and fifteen 160's, behind uncounted array of trench mortars and minenwerfer, vicious lore licked the Negroes' defenses. in open trenches, they never quailed. In the midst of the bombardment the Lieutenant Colonel was asked by the French whether he could establish some sort of communication with the French regiment on his right. Its wires had been cut and its position was such it was impossible to get messages back to divisional headquarters with subsequent speed. Without even calling for volunteer aid they doubledless expected to be held and ferror-stricken bunch severely bereft of the fighting they ran up against a line and grenade throwers co-ordinate with a score of hidden maiming to build a wall of bullets in the foe and his objective.

All of these cases are being pushed vigorously. Dr. R. R.

The Sergeant claims of his reasons for thus exposing himself was a craving to get a good deal of the fight. Though their shells had messed us up good deal," he said afterward, "but you should've seen what we done. Say, when our machine guns through with 'em, they looked like a stock of Swiss cheeses." Negroes' coolness under this embarrass convinced the French command of their soldierly ability. French officers with whom I talked delighted with them. One told me he himself had seen a German land to explode right under the nose of Negroes in an advanced post, bury them under an avalanche of mud, pair wrigled out and, though both slightly wounded, remained where were.

By then he located it his condition was he was quite unable to keep on his feet. He insisted, however, in remaindout, regimental headquarters, and about the whole battle stock by command, at times having himself reported to the firing line on a safer so that he might see how men were going. Lieutenant Colonel Embarrassed. The Lieutenant Colonel was in actual charge of the regiment's activities. On request of July 14 the Chief of Staff of the French Division, which was part Gen. Gonraud's army, inspected the new Yorker's order of battle and proclaimed it perfect. He called on the Lieutenant Colonel at the latter's post command, and performed the time-honored ceremony of kissing the flag and the regimental commander the shoulder a kiss on either cheek—that is classic prelude to entry into battle. Lieutenant Colonel himself was a man rushed chiefly because of the concealed-mirth of his orderlies. Their grins lit up the whole country like a star shell," he told me.

In the midst of the bombardment the Lieutenant Colonel was asked by the French whether he could establish some sort of communication with the French regiment on his right. Its wires had been cut and its position was such, it was impossible to get messages back to divisional headquarters with sufficient speed. Without even calling for volunteers, he directed half a dozen of his men to act as runners from his own P.C. to that of the French Colonel. These runners were obliged to cover about two miles through darkness, exposed to the drumfire barrage all the way. None of them faltered, none of them failed to deliver the message entrusted to him—and none of them, by virtue of the amazing luck that has clung to the regiment, was killed. The German infantry attacked at 4.33 in the morning. In their advanced trenches the Negroes had left only a few patrols with orders to withdraw as soon as they found themselves outnumbered. But almost every yard of the trenches had been sown with dynamite and hundreds of Boches were blown to atoms thg. moment they jumped into them. In the positions along our main line of resistance the Negroes waited with unshaken nerve for the foe to appear. He never did. Battered by our curtain, of fire, enflaged by volleys from machine guns tucked away in deep digouts and brought up only when their creeping barrage had passed by, panicky lest mines explode under their feet, the Germans never got beyond the front line the Allies had deliberately abandoned before the onslaught began. By 8 a.m. their left thank had been completely checked, without the necessity of a counter attack. An hour later the Negro unit was ordered to move to the left, where the fighting was still at its height, and a counter thrust by our side appeared advisable. The companies were obliged to make their way southward and then westward under shellfire almost as severe as the preparatory bombardment they had just undergone. They marched in little widely separated groups, creeping along four almost parallel roads. "As I watched them hiking along with shells cutting capers wherever one looked," the Lieutenant Colonel confided, "I was willing to have the war end right then and there. Well, they got through and into their new line, in immediate reserve, without a single casualty—luck again." More of the same kind of good fortune followed. The enemy suddenly ceased to struggle in the sector, and so the proposed counter attack was called off. Circumstances made it imperative, however, for the Americans to go into the firing line again. For four hours they had sat tight under the heaviest artillery hammering the world has seen; for four more they had stood by to repel boarders; for another four they had marched across country, still under terrific shell fire; they were dog-tried and without food or water. Yet they moved into line without a whimper—and again luck served them well. They had an insignificant percentage of casualties, while the French troops they relieved, hiking rearward over the same path, suffered severe losses. Furthermore, the sector rapidly became so quiet, rations and supplies were brought up the same night. The sector did not remain quiet long, of course. Next day, in fact, it waked to brisk activity, for the French had already begun the series of little rushes in which they drove the foe back to his line of departure—that is, out of the advanced trench elements he had been permitted to occupy temporarily. The tactics employed called for local attacks by assault, groups little larger than patrols. One of these groups would charge a certain German center of resistance and in savage bayonet fighting cleanse it of Boches, whose tenacity had been weakened by the dispiriting failure of their colossal push. There was always sharp fighting on on a small scale. Trenches had disappeared, blotted out by the artillery of both sides, and barbed wire was unknown. The enemy constantly sought to smother us with gas, and daily the Negroes spent four and five hours in their masks. "I dislike this mask intensely," remarked Private Casey Jones, the Colonel's cook, after telling me about these gas attacks, "but out there I wouldn't have sold it for a million dollars." The Germans "sprinkled shells around most promiscuously," as one yomit put it, during all this period. They were particularly busy with their 77s, using them to snipe at individuals, which is seldom done by artillery. Big-caliber projectiles tore up the areas immediately behind the firing line. One Krupp 280 killed three men and thirty-six horses and wounded two men and six horses. I have never heard of a single shell doing so much damage before. On August 7 the regiment captured its first prisoner. The German had leaped at Private George Chapman in the course of a night patrol encounter. George managed to wrest his adversary's rifle from his grip, and then "my excitement being quite considerable," as he explained to his lieutenant afterwards, he threw the weapon aside and fell upon the Boche with his fists. The latter was game and a good boxer, so that George had quite a tussle before he could count his opponent out and drag him back a prisoner. Only One Man "Missing." The night of August 11 was memorable because it witnessed three raids in the Negroes' sector, one staged by them and two by the Boches. Our boys penetrated a mile or so into the enemy lines, but found nothing for their trouble. The Germans made a prisoner in their second raid, but there is good reason to believe he died' from the severe wounds he had received before they could get him back to their trenches. He is the only man the regiment has had to report as "missing" Shortly before the Negroes were relieved and sent into repose, for the first time since the middle of April, there occurred the affray I described in an exclusive cable dispatch to the World in August 22, in which Sergt. William Butler distinguished himself by killing four Germans, mortally wounding their officer, putting a dozen others to rout and liberating thereby a white officer and four Negro privates whom the Bochs were carrying off into captivity. ISSUE PROCLAMATION TO ODD FELLOWS The following Emancipation Proclamation has been issued to the colored Odd Fellows of the country: To the Members of the G. U. O. O. F. in America. Greeting: Let us submit in the spirit of the immortal Declaration of American Independence that, when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a free people to overthrow a tyrannical and arbitrary administration which has continually harassed and burdened them for the opinion of mankind recognizes that they should disclose the cause which impels them to act But, when a long train of abuses and usurpation, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce society to an absolute despotism, it is their right, their duty, to overthrow such tyranny and safeguard the future with a government by the consent of the governed. Such has been the patience and sufferance of the Odd Fellows of this country, and such is the necessity, which constrains them to act, and to set forth the reasons therefor. The administration of the affairs of the Order by the present S. C. M. is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations of the rights of the brotherhood in America, all having in direct object, self-perpetuation in office and greed. In proof thereof, let the facts be submitted to a candid and impartial public opinion, to wit— The S. C. M. has permanently retarded the growth of the Order in the states by hauling innocent members thousands of miles from home on trumped-up charges of contempt as a means of brow-beating the membership and lengthening their term of office. The S. C. M. has reduced the membership in America from five hundred thousand members, under Houston in 1910, to approximately two hundred thousand under Morris in 1918, and practically depleted the treasury from $45,000 in 1910 to literal bankruptcy in 1918. Arbitrarily) and burdensome taxations have been imposed upon the Odd Fellow people without their consent, and over their protest, in order to afford graft to the plunderers. Laws have been changed to suit the personal ends of the S. C. M., and the funds of the Order have been dissipated in furtherance of their political fortunes; and if the members attempted to protest they were ruled for contempt, and tried in their absence miles away from home. The Odd Fellow's Journal, the official organ of the Order, has been converted into a personal sheet, and to advance the personal propaganda of the present S. C. M. The organ of the Order has been used as a big stick to keep in line any member or members who dare dispute the power of the mighty S. C. M. The people have been denied their inalienable right to choose either their place or time of meeting, or select their officers. All of these inalienable rights of a free membership have been usurped by the Grand Master and the S. C. M. We have divested of self-government and our court of final decision has been transferred to an English authority, and we are denied the constitutional right given us by our country to have our property rights passed upon in the courts of the State in which we live under the threat of expulsion from the Order. All of these injustices and injuries have been imposed on a long-suffering people under the guise of Friendship, Love and Truth, Peace, Happiness and Prosperity. Our meetings—State and National—have been postponed with impunity, and the term of office of the present S. C. M. extended by proclamation instead of by election Taxation without representation has been the rule. Laws written upon the books by the express will of the people in the congress of our Order have been spoken out of existence by the arbitrary edict of the S. C. M., and all right of petition and redress denied the membership. In 1912 the term of office of the S. C. M. was extended by the arbitrary adjournment two years. In 1914 the term of office was again extended for two years by fraud and a denial of representation at the ballot box, to the opposition candidates to the present S. C. M. In 1916 term of office was again extended two years by suspension and expulsion of an entire jurisdiction, and in 1918, further attempt was made to extend office two years by passing a void act to postpone the 19th B. M. C until 1920 as a war measure. In proof of the fraud of the attempted postponement, the S. C. M. attempted to hold a B M. C. in New York without delegates, in spite of their own order of postponement in January, 1918, to September, 1920. For six years we have borne these unnumbered oppressions without redress. We have petitioned our brothers in the spirit of Friendship, Love and Truth only to be rebuffed and answered by repeated injuries and insults. The consummation of the plot to displace democracy with ignorance and autocracy was reached in the attempt of the S. C. M to extend its term of office by postponing the 19th B. M. C. until 1920 which the Odd Fellows of America rose up and resented. And pursuant to adjournment September 9, 1918, through their accredited representatives, the Old Fellows of America met in biennial meeting, overthrew kaiserism, declared themselves a free society and elected officers to reflect the principles of Friendship, Love and Truth throughout the world—recognizing and appreciating at the same time any fraternal tie we may owe to the mother Order in England. We therefore, the representatives of the G, U, O, O, F of America in the 19th B M C, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the Universe for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name of the Sovereign Old Fellow people of the United States of America, solemnly publish this address, and call on the members of the Order to support and sustain our actions in the spirit of Friendship, Love and Truth, that the principles and policies of our ancient fraternity may not perish from the earth.

C. - The War College advises that there have been registered 207 white labor companies, 200 of which were sent overseas before their organization I was entirely complete. This is positive evidence that these Labor Battalions are not continued exclusively to colored membership, as has been intimated in some quarters. Opportunities for the entrance of competent colored men in the Veterinary Corps are now open. Information relative to this branch of the service may be had by addressing Major Ray J. Stancliff, Assistant Director of the Veterinary Corps, Washington, D. C. Charles Harris, leader of the Commonwealth Band of Baltimore, has been appointed assistant band leader and will soon go to France with one of the colored organizations. After six months he will be made a second lieutenant. There are now forty-one colored chaplains in the United States Army. It is expected that colored chaplains will be provided for service at Camp Lee at an early date. New barracks are being built at Howard University and Atlanta University for the accommodation of the young men who are coming in from all sections of the country to take the military training along with their academic studies and for the vocational classes that will come from draftees, who will be assigned there by local boards or army camp officials. The opportunities offered young colored men through the Committee on Education and Special Training are being seized with cagery. By next July, it is estimated that 20,000 young colored men will have received this training in some of its forms. RED CROSS MEETING HELD·IN JERSEY CITY JERSEY CITY, N. J.—A large Red Cross meeting was held at the Lafayette Presbyterian Church last Thursday night, with Dr. Geo. E. Cannon presiding.

Judge Thos. Haight gave an interesting talk and invited the colored people to co-operate with the work. Counsellor R. S. Hartgrove eloquently stated the colored man's position and the Rev. W. A. Byrd followed in a similar strain and asked for democracy, justice toward the Negro in all parts of America. At the close of the Red Cross meeting the Vigilance Committee met and collected money and received subscriptions for the proposed welfare center and soldiers' and sailors' home. The Rev. W. A. Byrd was chairman; Mrs Grace Martin was chosen secretary and Thos. J. Creecham, treasurer. A mass meeting will be held at Salem Baptist Church Wednesday night.

He declared in the United States Senate Tuesday that he was opposed to giving the ballot to colored women because he belonged to the slave-owning class. To quote Senator Williams verbatim: "I belong to the class that owned slaves and know them." While the Senate was voting on female suffrage, classed as a war measure, the Mississippi senator was ranting about slavery which existed more than a half century ago. Who will deny that Mississippi is grossly misrepresented? A MIXED SITUATION. The Census Bureau recently issued some interesting statistics concerning the newly acquired territory of the Virgin Islands, formerly the Danish West Indies. The area of these new possessions is slightly more than 132 square miles, comprising the three principal islands, St. Croix or Santa Cruz, St. John and St. Thomas. Although these islands had belonged to Denmark for 245 years, the language of the people is English. The population according to the census taken in November, 1917, was 26,051, classed as follows: 1022 white, 19,523 Negro and 4,606 mixed. Of the 430 farms reported 102 were operated by white farmers as owners, managers or tenants; 270 by Negroes; and 58 by mixed-blood farmers. It was to be expected that the annexation of foreign territory containing a large proportion of colored population would add to the incongruities and absurdities of the color question, as it already existed under the proscriptive policy prevailing in the United States. But the peculiar classification adopted in this census of the Virgin Islands betrays a new kind of discrimination. Here, in the States, under the latest governmental ruling, adopted in the military registration, the slightest admixture of African blood is supposed to class the individual as "Negro." Yet in this latest possession, besides Negro, we find the classification of "mixed" and "mixed blood." It is to be hoped that when the struggle toward a fuller and freer democracy is achieved, much of this hairsplitting and discriminatory classification will be done away with. According to a London cable, received the first of the week, troops from the States of New York, Tennessee and North and South Carolina, under the command of General George W. Read, broke the Hindenberg line on a front of nearly three miles, sweeping across the St. Quentin Canal before Le Catelet and capturing Bellicourt and Nauroy. As General Read, at last report, was in command of the Fourth Army Corps, which comprises six divisions, including the Ninety-second composed of colored troops, the probabilities are that many of the Negro regiments took part in this drive. Among them it is, not unlikely that the 367th Regiment, under the command of Colonel Moss, took an active part. It is also probable that the North and South Carolina troops referred to are also colored. At all events it is entirely within the possibilities that the "Buffaloes" and the others of their race are maintaining their right to the forefront of the battle by bucking the Hindenburg line. They are all adepts at "treatin' em rough" and may be trusted to live up to the traditions of the race in all the battles of the Nation. That these Negro soldiers can stand punishment without flinching, as well as inflict it, is shown in the latest story of the conduct of the old Fifteenth New York, as told by a staff correspondent of the New York World. As the report says, they stood up under all kinds of gas, the most colossal artillery fire bayonets by the thousand and every other kind of punishment. The recital of their conduct is calculated to make every New Yorker feel increased pride in this regiment. RAILROAD FACILITIES. RAILROAD FACILITIES. "Under the law railroad facilities for colored passengers must be adequate," is the gist of the reply dictated by the Director General of Railroads to the protest of the Nation Medical Association against the "Jim Crow" car system: At the same time it is stated that as the laws requiring separate accommodation were enacted by certain states and held by the Supreme Court to be constitutional, it is not within the power of the Director General to suspend them. A close reading of the letter shows that the disposition of the Railroad Administration is favorable to the accordance of proper treatment and decent accommodation for colored travelers, but it likewise betrays total ignorance of the rotten conditions that are imposed upon the colored passengers in the South. The assurance is given, however, that complaints of unfair treatment or discrimination will be promptly investigated and properly dealt with. This sentence is full of significance in this regard: "If you have any specific complaints, I wish you would let me know the particulars." It is only through taking up specific cases of unfair treatment and discrimination against colored passengers that the injustice of the "Jim Crow" car system can be impressed upon the Railroad Administration and upon the public at large. Another, evidence that the situation as it affects colored travelers is not appreciated is to be found in the injunction as to the patriotic duty of travelers to suffer inconvenience and annoyance without complaining, "so long as no class of travelers is given an advantage over another class." To any one familiar with the advantages given white travelers over colored in the way of decent accommodations on Southern railroads, this reservation would be the height of absurdity, if it did not emphasize the utter ignorance of the true conditions. But as is indicated above, "specific complaints," with names, dates and particulars, are the only method of impressing the Railroad Administration that the accommodations now VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR ```markdown ``` VARDAMAN SPEAKS ON SUFFRAGE. ETC. The Congressional Record of September 26 gives in full a speech delivered by Senator Vardaman of Mississippi on suffrage, etc. We say "Etc." because although the Senator was speaking to the Suffrage Amendment, he lugged in a great many other things, especially all of his get aversions to the Negro. He started off running in true form to old style Southern oratory. He spoke of new and untried policies as "passing through the processes of experimentation, and the mutations coming with lightning, rapidity challenge our attention and present the world in a cosmic phenomenon of kaleidoscopic character." He compared the passing events to a cyclone that rushes through the country destroying everything and "mingling the debris with the boiling, onrushing clouds." Then he pictured the cyclone as dying down and later changed into a "gentle zephyr passing over the landscape, drinking in the perfume from the fragrant flower, or fanning the dimpled cheeks of joyous, innocent childhood." Atfer taking a good, running start along this line, the Senator jumped on his subject, which was suffrage. Several times before while opposing Senator Vardaman, we have been compelled to give him credit for originality, for a unique way of doing things; and here we have to do it again. Vardaman did what seemed to be the impossible thing: he spoke in favor of the Suffrage Amendment and at the same time spoke against the Negro. Every senator who is opposed to the Negro has felt called upon to be opposed to the Amendment; and if he felt compelled to support the Amendment, he has kept his mouth shut on the Negro. But Vardaman put himself on the enlightened side of present-day politics by supporting woman suffrage, and at the same time stood firm by his Mississippi principles of "keeping the Negro down." Did he support suffrage because he was ignorant of the fact that it gives the vote to colored women in the South? Not at all. Or was it because he felt that colored women could be as easily defrauded and intimidated as colored men have been? No, he seems to be fully aware of the truth which we have pointed out in this column for the past two weeks, for in speaking on this phase of the question he said, "I also understand that the Negro women will be more offensive, more difficult to handle at the polls than the Negro man, or 'verily the female of the species is more deadly than the male.'" How was it then, knowing the full purport of his action, that the senator from Mississippi supported universal suffrage by Federal amendment for women? And how could he support the Suffrage Amendment while he opposed the Negro; that is, ride two horses going in seeming opposite directions at the same time? It is easy when you see how he did it. Vardaman declared that for long years he had hoped that the white men of the South would settle the Negro problem, but they had failed to do so. He said, "The white men of the South, especially the mentally illopic, selfish soulless little politicians (we don't know whether he meant to include himself) have been so dilatory and in some instances so indifferent to the gravity of the question that I have almost despaired of any immediate action on their part." The senator's great hope now is that if the vote is given to the women, the white women of the South will settle the problem, and settle it as it ought to be settled. And how does Senaor Vardaman want to see the problem settled? The following single sentence from his speech will serve as an answer: "God Almighty never intended that the Negro should share with the white man sovereignty and dominion in this country; and it is wicked—a crime against the white race and an injustice to the Negro—to attempt it." THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. The President's address deliver the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign No more eloquent words on the from human lips And it was no eloquence of convincing truth. The President's speech was in cut analysis of the international situation that he understands perfectly well statesmen of the world do not yet longer a war of rulers or of dipl peoples. Heretofore there have been fought by armies, and the people he the same as usual. In this war sources at their command have war not of rulers or diplomats or The President's address delivered in this city on the opening of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign was indeed a wonderful speech. No more eloquent words on the rights of peoples have ever fallen from human lips. And it was not the eloquence of rhetoric, but the eloquence of convincing truth. The President's speech was not only eloquent, but it was a clear cut analysis of the international situation. President Wilson showed that he understands perfectly well what, perhaps, the majority of statesmen of the world do not yet realize, and that is that this is no longer a war of rulers or of diplomats or of armies but a war of peoples. Heretofore there have been great wars, but they have been fought by armies, and the people have gone about their business much the same as usual. In this war entire nations with all of the resources at their command have been mobilized. And as this is a war not of rulers or diplomats or armies, it will not be settled by provided for colored travelers are far from being "adequate" or even decent. Instead of dealing with general conditions hereafter, let us make "specific complaints." GAINS AND REVERSES The ups and downs attending the progress of the Negro in the labor world are illustrated in two recent items found in our exchanges. The first of these is significant as marking a gain, however slight, in the recognition accorded Negro labor at the recent convention of the American Federation of Labor. It is as follows: WASHINGTON, D. C.—G. W. Millner, a Negro, who represented about 1,000 other workers of his own race, at the recent F. of L. convention, believes that the condition of Negro labor has profited greatly of late, principally through the aid of the American Federation of Labor. There were three other Negro delegates to the convention and their presence showed exclusively that the color line is no longer covered in this city on the opening of sign was indeed a wonderful speech, rights of peoples have ever fallen, at the eloquence of rhetoric, but the not only eloquent, but it was a clear situation. President Wilson showed well what, perhaps, the majority of it realize, and that is that this is no domats or of armies but a war of been great wars, but they have been have gone about their business much entire nations with all of the re-been mobilized. And as this is a or armies, it will not be settled by drawn in Jabor's ranks. The other incident is not so encouraging and gives evidence that color discrimination still prevails among some labor organizations especially in the North. It reads: PITTSBURGH, PA.—Women as conductors and colored men as motormen were vigorously, and bitterly rejected by Division No. 84 of the Street Car Men's Union in Pittsburgh, this week. The company offered an increase of from 45 to 48 cents an hour, which the men were willing to accept, but they rejected the conditions of equal opportunity to labor when it included women and colored men. There is room for much missionary effort to convert these Pittsburg workingmen to the doctrines of true democracy, especially as it relates to opening the doors of industrial opportunity to all men and women. It is bound to come eventually and such narrow opposition can only delay the day. rulers or diplomats or armies, it will be settled by the various peoples concerned. The President said: "The war has lasted more than four years and the whole world has been drawn into it. The common will of mankind has been substituted for the particular purposes of individual states. Individual statesmen may have started the conflict, but neither they nor their opponents can stop it as they please. It has become a people's war, and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power and variety of fortune, are involved in its sweeping processes of change and settlement." The President plainly pointed out that the issues now at stake were not thought of or foreseen at the beginning of the war. In fact, if they had been, there never would have been a war. The national and racial aims with which the war started have been lost sight of, and the "common purpose of enlightened mankind" has taken their place. And that common purpose aims not merely at winning the war, but at fundamental changes in the principles which regulate society. In truth, the war itself has become a secondary matter. It has come to be regarded chiefly as a disagreeable concomitant of the changes that are being wrought. The masses of men who are thinking seriously to-day are thinking more about those changes than they are about the actual state of warfare. And so, this has become a war of revolution; of a revolution that has long been growing and smouldering. Not a political revolution where one set of men in authority is turned out and another set put in; with the general result that the second set acts pretty much the same as the first set; but a revolution which aims at a change in the principles by which men are to be governed. In his address, President Wilson summed up the issues at stake in this war in the following five questions: Shall the military power of any nation or group of nations be suffered to determine the fortunes of peoples over whom they have no right to rule except the right of force? Shall strong nations be free to wrong weak nations and make them subject to their purpose and interest? Shall peoples be ruled and dominated, even in their own internal affairs, by arbitrary and irresponsible force or by their own will and choice? Shall there be a common standard of right and privilege for all peoples and nations or shall the strong do as they will and the weak suffer without redress? Shall the assertion of right be haphazard and by casual alliance or shall there be a common concert to oblige the observance of common rights? Here the President lays down a bill of rights to which we heartily subscribe. And we earnestly hope that he will be enabled not only to force these principles upon the world at large, but that he may be enabled to gain for them full acceptance in the United States.

But why was there all this ceian soldier, when he had a perfect known, a name that expresses the expresses the British soldier, a niz that go to make up the trad name is "Yankee," a name already field. And that is the name by. Of course, there is some iron sons of former "rebels" to be know if it was from that sphere of infi name which already belonged to At any rate, Yanks it is; and i there was considerable concern soldiers of the expedition a concerted and organized "Sammy," but the soldier short to label the American sword of the English "Tommy."

There was a concerted and organized effort to load them with the meaningless "Sammy," but the soldiers themselves would have none of it. Of course, the effort to label the American soldier with "Sammy" was done in imitation of the English "Tommy." But as we pointed out in an article some months ago on this same subject, there is a good and definite reason why the British soldier is known as "Tommy Atkins," it was not arbitrarily stuck on to him. "Tommy Atkins" was the name selected by the British War Office to fill in the specimen form of a manual distributed throughout the army, in which was to be entered details concerning each man. It was a name used just as lawyers use "John Doe." The name stuck; and it stuck because it exactly hit off the British soldier. Any one who has seen the British soldier in his natty uniform, his cap set on one side of his head, walking with his springy step and swinging his swagger stick, recognizes at once that he is just "Tommy Atkins" and couldn't be anybody else. If the War Office had used "Hezekiah Jones," no one can conceive that the name "Hezekiah" would have become the universal name of the British soldier. But why was there all this concern about a name for the American soldier, when he had a perfectly good name, a name universally known, a name that expresses the American soldier just as "Tómmy" expresses the British soldier, a name with all the tang and pep and ziz that go to make up the traditional American character? That name is "Yankee," a name already honorably borne on many a battle field. And that is the name by which our boys are now known. Of course, there is some irony in the conditions that compel the sons of former "rebels" to be known as "Yankees." And we wonder if it was from that sphere of influence came objection to using the name which already belonged to the American soldier? At any rate, Yanks it is; and it's a mighty good name. NEW YORK'S NEGRO REGIMENT. (N. Y. Globe.) A "certain" Negro regiment in France has distinguished itself, say press despatches. The regimental commander, "whom New York remembers best as a public service commissioner," pays this tribute to his men: had marched across country, still under terrife shell fire; they were dog tired and without food or water. Yet they moved into line without a whimper—and again luck served them well. The regiment has become celebrated Since July 15 our boys have endured what the French say is the most colossal artillery preparation the Germans have ever made, all kinds of gas, bayonets by the thousand, and every other kind of punishment the enemy has in stock. They've stood up under it all, done everything that was demanded of them—a good deal sometimes, too—and come through with colors flying and spirits high. I don't believe there are many better soldiers in this war than these Nogro boys. I haven't seen any. Up Harlem way no one needs to be told that Colonel William Hayward, commander of the old Fifteenth N. G. N. Y., was formerly a public service commissioner, and no news has come of his transfer (to another unit). What manner of bravery the Negro regiment manifests is further indicated by what its lieutenant colonel says of his brave bucks: For four hours they had sat tight under the heaviest artillery hammering the world has seen; for four more they had stood by to repel boarders; for another four they considerable concern over the name of the expedi­tary forces should be and organized effort to load them, but the soldiers themselves would be the American soldier with "Sämmy" English "Tommy." But as we pointed ago on this same subject, there is a British soldier is known as "Tommy" rarely stuck on to him. "Tommy" by the British War Office to fill in the distributed throughout the army, in concern each man. It was a John Doe." The name stuck; and of the British soldier. Any one who is natty uniform, his cap set on one this springy step and swinging his face that he is just "Tommy Atkins" If the War Office had used "Hezekiah" that the name "Hezekiah" would be of the British soldier. Concern about a name for the Amer­tically good name, a name universally American soldier just as "Tömmy" name with all the tang and pep and national American character? That my honorably borne on many a battle which our boys are now known. Why in the conditions that compel the name as "Yankees." And we wonderquence came objection to using them the American soldier? It's a mighty good name. had marched across country, still under terrific shell fire; they were dog fired and without food or water. Yet they moved into line without a whimper—and again luck served them well. The regiment has become celebrated for its "luck." Over the same roads the Negro regiment to go into the trenches without a single visually, though they were under constant shell fire, the fired French troops they relieved marched unnack. The French losses were severe. Only one member of the Negro regiment has been posted as "missing," and the general understanding is that several Germans are "missing" with him. Thirteen members of the regiment have won war crosses. That is part of the record. Every day new names are added to the glory roll. The men are gluttony for action, and action is not being denied them. They have shown themselves as capable, however, of bearing up under heavy bombardment without firing a return shot, which is the greater heroism. Our troops and the French and English troops are full of praise for the brave Negroes that New York has sent to the front. We here, especially up Harken way, are proud of them and send to them warm thanks. When they return to us hope that they will have no reason to complain of injustice—that white men will kill children prejudices will not be able to control public opinion. WANTS IT TO ROLL ON.

Big wages are being paid. Men are ranging as high, as $10 per day; the average wage might be considered $4.50 and $5 per day. There has been nearly 300 per cent raise in wages in the past three years, with a raise of prices on living condition to about 30 per cent, the margin is great. The over amount necessary to live is sufficient for every laboring, man to make startling and attractive investments in this bond issue.—Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter. Colored Soldiers in Texas The colored soldiers are enjoying blessings in Camp Travis as never before. They worshipped in their new V M. C. A. building No. 220 for the first time Sunday. They have been also blessed by having chaplains assigned to both the 1st and 2nd groups. This is something new for the colored soldiers of Camp Travis though we have been here for nearly a year Uncle Sam realizes that our spiritual bodies must be fed as well as our physical bodies. We thank God and Uncle Sam for these messengers of love and truth, among whom are Chaplains Parsley, Renfro, Acker, Pollard, and Erskei.—San Antonio Inquirer. Oklahomans Made. Good. In the first federal registration here in Oklahoma City black men were not permitted to act as registrars; in the last registration they were, and be it said to the credit of the eight men selected, that although the precinct in which the worked was larger than any other four, they made a complete and entirely classified report at 9 o'clock, when the closing registration hour came, and unlike many other boards were not classifying way into the night. The black men had simplified the delay that other boards have by classifying as they registered. There will never be another merited argument as to the black man's ability to do this sort of thing. He has proven that ability—Oklahoma City Black Dispatch. A Change In the Ministry. There were many suprises in the group meeting of Negro ministers in New Orleans, who came from all sections of Louisiana, the southern part of Mississippi and the eastern part of Alabama. In the first place, the executive secretary, who has been an earnest student of Negro work for some time, was not expecting to see such high average in intelligence, in dress, in demeanor, in grasp of the situation as was manifested over and over again by this group of Negro ministers. There was an absence of the long-drawn face Negro preacher with a long coat and a holy tone. Here were ministers modernly attired in their palm beach suits and lighter fabrics. But their manner of speech also revealed more distinctly that they had a touch of new life through schools, through general reading and through contact. They were thoroughly familiar with the ramifications of the war and spoke as if they knew first hand all the facts concerning the beginning, the progress and the purpose of the war.—Southwestern Christian Advocate. Some Kansas Farmers We visited Tonganoxie a few days ago and was out in the country visiting the form of Mr. Lee Baker, who owns eighty acres of good farm land. He has sold about thirty acres of wheat this year. He has a splendid wife and three children and if he continues to prosper, in the next three or four years he will be one of the leading farmers in that county. We also visited the farm of Mr. F. D. Hildebrandt, who owns eighty acres of land and is practically out of debt. He has over fifty head of cattle and thirty head of hogs and about 400 chickens. He has a wife and three children, the oldest boy is equal to his father when it comes to working on the farm Mrs. Hildebrandt works along with her husband and by thrift and industry they have purchased the farm on which they live and are now buying an automobile. This shows what a family can do when they work together and manage accordingly. We met Charles Grant, the widower, who is doing well under circumstances. He has been down with the rheumatism this year. He has five small children. Tophea Plainender. EXHIBITION—Matter in India is new; matters in Britain is old matter to be omitted.

SWEET, Speaker, STATE OF NEW YORK, Office of the SECRETARY OF STATE, I have compared the preceding copy of the resolution to this one and do not resolution on this office and do not THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS MIXED BOUTS NOW PERMITTED IN JERSEY THE New Jersey State Athletic Commission has announced in- tentions of permitting mixed bouts in the future, and already white and colored boxers have been matched to meet in Atlantic City. Ever since boxing was legalized in New Jersey some months ago the State Athletic Commission has found the question a most difficult one to handle. When it first was organized, the Commission, made known to the public that it was in favor of mixed bouts; then, for some reason, it hastily abrogated its original ruling and put a ban on mixed bouts. Now, the commissioners have drifted back to their original way of thinking. The boxing game in the State of New Jersey ought to take on new life and enjoy a larger measure of popularity. The only excuse opponents of mixed bouts have put forward was that the meeting of white and colored boxers in the prize ring occasioned ill feeling between the races. I could understand how those so greatly concerned in maintaining amicable relations between the races expect to do so by advocating color discrimination. This attitude usually increases rather than diminishes racial ill will. Local white writers seem to look with favor on the latest stand taken by the New Jersey State Athletic Commission. They, too, seem to have taken quite a mental somersault on the question: for it was only a few years ago when they frowned on mixed bouts. This was particularly true when the big four —Johnson, Langford, McVea and Jeanette—were monarchs of all they surveyed in the pugilistic world. Instead of being bitter opponents, the majority of white writers are now enthusiastic advocates of mixed bouts, as the following statement from a New York daily will show: "Matches between white boxers and Negroes never occasioned ill feeling in the days of the Frawley law in New York, and it is unlikely trouble will result if Negroes are allowed to engage in mixed bouts in New Jersey." Dodging Behind "Color Line." The "color line" has been a most convenient barrier for white fighters to hide behind when afraid to meet colored boxers in the prizering. It certainly has served many "conscientious objectors" in good stead. The latest person to be guilty of this attempt at pugilistic camouflage is Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey. Now that Dempsey has begun to boom big on the fistic horizon there has been considerable talk of Kearns' protege donning gloves with "Kid" Norfolk or Harry Wills. But here is how Manager Kearns expresses himself on the subject: I haven't given the matter any particular thought up to the present time. Still, I never was in favor of mixed houts. I don't think I would make such a match for Dempsey unless I was convinced that the public desired it. There are just as good white boxers as there are colored, and if Jack licks them there will be no necessity of him meeting the black boys to prove that he is master of his class. Willard squecheled the colored heavyweight division when he squealed Jack Johnson in Cuba. Why resurrect it again? Manager Kearns has discharged his gun charged with "race prejudice," which has made a noise like a cap pistol. Even a devotee of ping-pong could easily discover that Kearns is "talking through his hat." If there are just as good white boxers as colored why don't they, come forward? Their appearance would give the fighting game a great boost for in recent years the public has cried "fake" at the majority of bouts pulled off between white boxers. Manager Kearns' method of reaching conclusions is indeed puzzling. He declares that if Dempsey defeats all the white heavies there will be no need to fight colored boxers to prove that he is their superior. Just how Dempsey can proclaim himself the king bee of the heavyweight class by defeating a few white boxers who wouldn't stand a chance with Wills, Langford, or "Kid" Norfolk, is too much for me to reason out along logical lines. As for Willard "squelching" Jack Johnson, there are not two persons out of ten who really believe that the fight was on the level in Cuba. Willard has made the most pitiful showing ever for a champion Boxing has deteriorated during his regime, which no one can deny. There are many who have doubts if Willard could give a postage stamp a good licking. Coming to think of it, Willard, too, has drawn the "color line" since Johnson made him a present of the heavyweight championship, and with Langford, Wills and other fighters looking on, we know the reason why. "ELEVATING A HUSBAND" NEXT AT LAFAYETTE "Elevating a Hunsband," the attraction for the coming week at the Lafayette Theatre, is by Clara Lipman and Samuel Shipman. A few years ago, "Elevating a Husband" was given its premiere at the Majestic Theatre and Louis Mann was starred in it. The play was pronounced a vehicle worthy of the superior ability of this great stage favorite. The production is a reflection of real life. Charlie Sample, who has fought his way from penury and obscurity to the proprietorship of a chain of "nickel stores," has not been hardened by the experience, except, perhaps, in a business way. He is everybody's friend. He falls in love with Letty Lawton, a young, pretty and not over sensible girl, who boards at Mrs. Murray's boarding house Letty consents to marry him believing that she loves him. She believes that his uncouth manners may gradually be irroned out into appearances of refinement. The home that Charlie is able to maintain with the revenue from his gradually increasing business is nothing short of palatial. Letty cultivates many "highbrows" and near-great acquaintances and gives them the run of the house. It is only natural that among these should be a destroyer of homes. He practices his wiles on Letty and while not altogether successful; the affair does not have an encouraging appearance to poor, hardworking and practical Sample. The misunderstanding is straightened out after two long years, when Sample learns that his flighty little wife has been more unwise than untrue. JAZZ MUSIC MAKES HIT WITH FRENCH OFFICIALS WASHINGTON, D. C—High officials in France are said to be exceedingly fond of the "jazz" music furnished by the colored bands. General Petan recently visited a sector in which there are American troops and had "the time of his life" listening to a colored band playing the popular "jazz" music, with some Negro dance stunts in keeping with the spirit of the melodies. He warmly congratulates the colored leader upon the excellent work of his organization and thanked him for the enjoyable entertainment that had been given him. MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT. MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT. Thursday night, September 26, marked the eighth annual opening of the school. An enthusiastic audience listened to a program rendered by members of the faculty. Joseph Douglas, violinist, who is a new member of the teaching force played several selections, accompanied by Miss Cecilia Butler. The Banjo-Mandolin Orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Butler, added to the evening's enjoyment. Mrs. Blanche Dease-Harris and J Rosamond Johnson sang songs. Mr. Morris of the Lafayette Stock Co. was present and responded by request with several original recitations. Mrs. Marie Wayne-Townsend, violin, and Franklin Dyer are now members of the excellent corps of teachers and will receive pupils at the school. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Recreation Club are making it very comfortable for the boys in uniform who, stay over night. They are planning to accommodate between 75 and 100 Saturday night to stay over until Sunday Canteen No. 5, under the Mayor's Committee of Women, are giving a benefit at Manhattan Casino Thursday night, October 3.

Ed. Brown, Ira Harrington and Ed. Wilson. The board, which is regarded as a strong one, is planning to introduce several innovations which are expected to meet with the popular approval of the members. TUSKEGEE STUDENTS ARE DOING WAR WORK Four months ago Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. Alabama sent a group of Tuskegee cadets North to sing and en- A. tertain the soldiers at the different camps and cantonments in New York State, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and all of the New England States. These singers and entertainers have been delighting many boys in khaki during their tour, being conducted under the Campaign Department of Tuskegee Institute. The boys have sung and entertained at Camp Dix, Camp Merritt, Camp Mulls, Camp Upton, Camp Deyens, Submarine Base, New London: Officers' Training Camp, Plattburg, Junior Officers' Training Camp, Plattburg, and Camp Dewey. For this work the cadets have received no pay "doing their bit" as a part of Tuskegee Institute's war work. The students also have entertained in the different hospital] warrials in all camps visited. At the Officers' Camp at Plattsburg, the cadets met quite a number of colored troopers who had been wounded in France and sent back to America for medical treatment. They report that the colored patients are receiving the best of case. The Tuskegee cadets sang plantation songs. Negro folk songs and other numbers to the delight of the colored soldiers in the hospital 2; Plattsburg Charles Winter Wood, well known as an elocutionist, has been in charge of the Tuskegee students, making effective speeches on the war work being conducted by the school. He also has emphasized the Negro's part in the great world war. Mr Wood is director of campaign publicity and field work for Tuskegee Institute Frank P. Chisholm has arranged the tour for the cadets. During their visit in the North the Tuskegee cadets have given concerts and entertainments in the different Y. M. C. A. s. clubs and summer resort hotels throughout New England. Tuskegee is practically on a war basis at this time. They have four hundred colored troops stationed at Tuskegee at this time and they are being trained along technical and industrial lines. COLORED ELEVEN WINS AT CAMP UPTON The parade ground over in the third development of Camp Upton, was filled with a large and enthusiastic number of soldier-to-roots Saturday afternoon who had gathered to witness the inaugural football game of the season, played between the battalion of third development (white) and the Y M C A Hut-Noel Eleven (colored). Through the hardy tactics and superior coaching of the colored players, the white battalion was completely overwhelmed, causing it to retire from the field of play before the game was over. During the time of play, however there were numerous features that gave the crowd an opportunity to use their lung power, especially so when Orr, the famous A and M. College fullback, began sensational line plunging, and the touchdown made by halffback Thomas after a long run during the first ten minutes of play. The team is composed of star players and through its captain and organizer Private Hunt, and its coach, Secretary Stokes of the Y M C. A. Hut, is being speedily despatched into a perfect play machine. The personnel of the eleven follows Corp L. Pest, left end; Pvt. H. Truly, left tackle; Pvt. M. Harris, left guard; Pvt. T.

Churches at Birmingham, Ala., last spring, when plans for the organic union of these three great Methodist bodies were formulated. The speaker, who was a commissioner of the A. M. E.

(Special to The New York Am) Hor Springs, Ack—Hot Springs completed its fifth war draft Sept. 25th, when 39 of its boys entrained for Camp Pike. This city being a resort whose men were engaged in what has been termed non-essential employment, the great majority has been drafted and entrained for the Camps. This makes us appear largely as a "Manless City." Garland county's quota of $40,000 loan subscription for its population of 25,000, one-fourth of whom are colored, gives the requirement from 6,000 colored citizens of about $14,000, which the manager feels sure of getting. The drive is in the hands of a committee of prominent colored men; the Rev. G. B. Ashford, pastor Visitors Chapel A. M. E. Church, chairman; Prof. R. C. Barrow, principal of Colored high school; the Rev. D. J. T. Hills, pastor of Roanoke Baptist Church; the Rev. C. M., Whitehead and C. S. Mebane and C. C. Truman.

Lewis of Florida; the Mississippi Beneficial, by the vice-president and manager, C. M. Cox. The Knights of Pythias, which owns the Hot Springs Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium, is remodeling and enlarging its present plant to meet the growing demand of its patronage. The Mosaic Templars and North Carolina Mutual Associations have each subscribed for $100,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, and expect to add to their subscription during the fourth issue drive. Cotton pickers hereabouts go to their work nowadays as proudly as do the office clerks. The cause of their pride is the pay given of $1.50 to $2.00 per hundred pounds for cotton picking. Bishop J. M. Conner of the A M. E. Church caused the reopening of Shaster University. Sept. 25, to be as profitable as it was interesting.

Y. - Amid great enthusiasm the people of the Second Baptist Church closed their rally Sunday, September 29. Le Roy is a small town in western New York of about 5,000 inhabitants with a colored constituency in the village and its immediate vicinity of about twenty-five families. The Second Baptist Church, was organized two years ago by the Roy, J. E. Rose, its present pastor, a graduate of the Rochster Theological Seminary. Since then it has purchased its present home, which is worth about $3,000 and free of debt. About eight weeks ago the pastor called his official board together and told them that he had sent in his application for the position of chaplain in the U. S. Army, but that he wanted to help them raise $1,000 on a parsonage fund before leaving. He said that he would raise half of the sum if the church would raise the other. The board akreed, doubling that any such thing could be done by so few people already so heavily burdened with war time conditions. It took about three weeks to get the campaign fairly launched. The church was divided into four clubs. Last Sunday was rally day, when all made their reports and the campaigne closed. The morning sormon was preached by the Rev. R. H. Cable of the Rochester Theological Seminary. The rally sermon at 3:30 p. m. was to have been preached by the Rev. H. D. W. Jones of Rochester A. M. H. Zion, who was unavoidably detained at home.

The Second Baptist Church has a membership of thirty-nine. RACE PROGRESS IN TEXAS (Special to The New York Times) Huntsville, Texas. — Huntsville's greatest claim to consideration is based upon the fact of being the birthplace of General Samuel Houston, the hero of San Jacinto. Students of history know how closely his name is linked with Texas as a republic and as a state. Situated some seven miles from the main line of travel and nearly seventy miles from the city of Houston. Huntsville has much to be broad of. Race progress is ever a ready question for discussion and especially along the most modern viewpoint, that of "democracy." Yet, better than discussion, is action, the result of which speaks for itself. While the town is small in population, being mostly an educational center, one of the State's normal schools for teachers (white) being located here, evidences of the colored man's efforts are easily to be seen. The leading blacksmith is a rac man; the two most sanitary and well appointed barber shops are owned by race men. The greatest amount of hauling is carried on by a man of color who owns his own teams. These men lead in their respective lines and in the face of white men's competition. But the race's greatest claim to recognition is the amount of farming carried on. Some of the best cultivated farms are owned by our people and by no means are they small ones.

It is now assisted by the county, since the county enters publis. The churches speak for the moral life of the community, but as usual the several denominations separate into as many churches and lesson the membership of each. The relation between the two races is apparently good, mostly because of the line of least resistance. There are courageous men of conviction present, but the weakling predominates.

Lieutenant General Hutchinson in naming all that military region of North Newport News as Camp Alexander, in honor of Lieutenant John H. Alexander, West Point graduate, and officer in the Ninth Cavalry until his death, wrote into his order historic words. The order stated that the ability and attainment of Lieutenant Alexander made him "A,CREDIT TO HIMSELF: TO HIS RACE AND TO THE SERVICE." These are fine words from the commanding officer to honor for the first time a colored officer by giving his name to a military camp. They ought to be sent to every private and officer in the army as an encouragement and a challenge.—Baltimore Afro-American. "YOUR NEGRO NEIGHBOR." Mr. Brawley, in his little book entitled "Your Negro Neighbor," states very clearly the grievances which the Negro has against the American people, thus definitely outlining their present real status in America. He details the injustices which have been legislated and perpetrated in the South against us, and with fairness and truth because of her a difference in leaving as complicity by the merger of the South, as well as that of denying us economic opportunities. If the whites possess a conscience where the Negro is concerned, certainly this arraignment of them by Mr. Brawley ought to cause them to suffer many pangs for their sins of commission and omission. Along with the manly spirit which radiates from the book, the spirit of gratitude which is shown when he pays a tribute to the work of Joanna Moore makes one know that Mr. Brawley's ideals and beliefs are lofty, for gratitude is a beautiful quality which develops only in higher natures. "Your Negro Neighbor" is instructive, enlightening, encouraging and inspiring. It is a guide in that it shows us the line of development of the race; it is a beacon in that it gives us a definite idea of where we wish to go. It is with a great deal of pride that we learn the Negro is no parasite; that in proportion he is helping himself more than he is being helped.

Pursuant to the provisions of section one of the constitution of the State of New York, and according to the provisions of the Election Law, notice is hereby given that the following proposed amendment to sepal the seventeenth of the Constitution of the State of New York is referred to the legislature to be made public in this State to be held on the fifth day of November, nineteen hundred eighteen. AMENDMENT NUMBER EIGHTEEN CONCURRENCY RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND THE COURT, TWO, FOUR, FIVE, ELEVEN AND TWELVE OF ARTISTS BAYER OF THE CONSTITUTION, IN REPLACEMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION, Section I. Resolved (of the Assembly concur.) That sections two, four, five, eleven and the constitution be amended to read as follows: 2. The state may, to meet canal deficit payments, apply the constitution for a widened for, contract debt; but such debts, direct or contingent, singly or in the aggregate, shall be applied for, contract debt; but such debts, direct or contingent, singly or in the aggregate, shall be applied for the purpose for the money arising from the loans creating such debts shall be applied to the purpose for the money arising from the loans creating such debts shall be applied to the purpose for the purposes and within the amounts of appropriations therefore made; bonds or other appropriations as may be provided by law, and shall with the interest therow be paid from such amounts within one year from the date of law. 4. Exempt the debts specified in sectional two and three of this article, no debt(e) shall be reserved in the case of any debt by or to be of dis- state, unless such debt shall be allotted to be distinctly specified therein if and such law shall be directed annual to pay, and sufficient to a direct annual to pay, and sufficient to the interest no such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal of such debt. If the interest is not paid in case of a direct contracting thereof. No such law shall take effect until it shall, at a general election, have been submitted to the people, and have received the same value of the vote and the same time it is at such election. On the final passage of such bill in either house of the legislature, the question should be taken by ayes and noes, to be discussed in the case of any of the laws to be held. "Shall this bill pass and ought the same to be received in the section of the people?" No such law should be held until it shall, at a general election, have received a majority of all the votes and have received a majority of all the votes for the same year, and in within three months after its passage or on within three years the election when any other law, or any bill shall be submitted to be voiced for or against. The case of any law is at any time in the support of such law by any other of the people, if no debt shall have been contracted in the case of any time, by law, for which the same and may at any time, by law, be subject to any further liability under such law. (But the tax imposed by such act, in proportion to the debt and liability which may have been contracted in our case, is not subject to any further liability, but is irresponsible, and be annually collected, until the proceeds thereof shall have made the provision of independent�ate specified to pay and discharges of all interest and principal of such debt and liability.) Except the debts specified in sections two and three of this article, all debts contracted by the state after January first, nineteen hundred and twenty, pursuant to an authorization therefor, heretofore or thereafter made and each portion of the debt is time to contract irrespective of the terms of which the written, shall be filed in equal annual installments, the first of which shall be payable not more than one year, and the last of which shall be payable not more than fifty years, after such debt or portion thereof shall have been constructed, and such debt or portion are authorised shall be contracted for period later than which the payable life of the work or object is which the debt is to be contracted, to be determined by general laws, which determination shall be conclusive. The legislation may for time to time alter the rate of interest or may allow any state debt which has been or may be authorized pursuant to the provisions of this law, which may not be any part of such debt, provided, however, that the rate of interest shall not be altered upon any part of such debts or upon any bond or other evidence thereof which has been or shall be created or learned before such alteration. The money may be paid in any loan (or stock) in the same order, and is liability which has not such debt or liability, for the payment of such debt or liability, and for the other part to be overdue. (The such law shall be submitted to the law, and on the other hand, after the passage or at any general election when after the law, or any full shall be submitted to be voted for or against. The legislature may request the law to be made to the law to be paid for a period not exceeding fifty years in law of bonds before the authorized but not issued of the legal process and provide for the collection of such irrigible funds. The payment of the law shall be made to the same as hercine before required. When any sinking fund is paid for the section shall equal the amount of funds, the debt will be levied at a cost of the same amount of sinking fund, and the legislature shall reduce the tax to an amount equal to the accrual of interest to the debt. The legislators may also be paid to the amount of the law to meet the need to be paid upon any state debt, which has been or may be authorized pursuant to the provisions of this section, and the law may be provided, however that the rate of interest shall not be altered upon any part of such debt, which may be paid to any other evidence thereof, which may be paid to any other evidence of any other evidence before such alteration. In case the legislature is increased the rate of interest upon any such debt, or part thereof to it shall impose and provide for the payment of the subject amount of the law to pay and sufficient to pay the increased or altered interest on such debt as it falls due and also to pay and discharge the principal of such debt. The law may be required to pay the principal of such debt in connection with the contracting thereof and shall appropriateால் only the sinking fund money in amount sufficient to pay such interest and pay and difficult to pay the principal of such debt when it shall become due and payable. B 5. The sinking funds provided for the payment of interest and the extinguishment of the principal of the debts of the state heretofore contracted shall be continued; they shall be separately kept and safely involved, and neither of them shall be appropriated nor used in any manner other than for [the specific purpose for which it shall have been provided] such payment and extinguishment as hereafter provided. The controller shall each year appraise the securities held for investment in each of such funds at their fair market value not exceeding per. He shall then determine and certify to the legislator the amount of each of such funds and the amounts which, if thereafter annually contributed to each such fund, would, with the fund and with the accumulations therefrom and when the contributions herein computed at the rate of three per. common per annum, produce the date of maturity the amount of the debt to retire which such fund was created, and the legislature shall thereupon appropriate at the contribution to each such fund for such year at least the amount that certified. If the income of any such fund in any year is more than a sum which, if annually added to the income of any other fund, would result in modifications as aforesaid, retire the debt at maturity, the excess income may be applied to the amount on the debt for which the fund was created. After anyinking fund领取 shall equal in amount the debt for which it was created an further amount of the excess income made good any losses accreted at the annual approvals above mentioned, and the income interest on such debt. Any excess in such income not required for the payment of interest may be deducted from the annual interest on such debt. Any excess in such income not required for the payment of interest may be deducted from the annual interest on such debt. The legal provision may be general to provide means and authority whereby outstanding bonds of the state, for which stinking funds are created, may be paid to the form authorized under section four of this article, upon such interest as it may in its discretion authorizes or determines, except that the debt is thus refunded to the state in the case of a comparative cost to the state than the original debt the determination of the legislature as to such comparative cost shall be conclude. No such comparative cost shall be made to the funds shall be made on account of bonds as changed and the proportion of any such remaining changed shall be to the amount of bonds outstanding of the same issue may be appropriated for the payment of the substituted bond funds. 12. Debts hereafter authorized for the use provement of highways shall be created only by the state, and no other article. No provision of this article shall be deemed to impor or affect the validity of any debt of the state heretofore contracted or any debt of the state hereafter contracted or any debt of the state and any of its civil divisions. [A debt or debts of the state may be authorized by law for the improvement of highways. Such highways shall be determined under general laws, which shall also provide for the equitable contribution of the debt to the country. The aggregate of the debts authorized by this section shall not at any one time exceed the sum of fifty millions of dollars. The payment of the annual interest on such debt and the total of all interest on all at any other centum per annum to discharge the principal at maturity shall be provided by general laws whose force and effect shall not be dimlished during the existence of any debt created thereunder. The liabilities may be general and the entire county or town at the time of the sinking fund the proportionate part of the cost of any such highway within the boundaries of such county or town and the proportionate part of the interest, thereon, but no count of the time shall be required to pay more than thirty five hundredths of the cost of such highway, and no town more than fifteen hundredths. None of the provisions of the fourth section of this article shall apply to debts of the improvement of highways here, authorized[1]. [2] Resolved (If the Assembly concurs), That the foregoing amendment be referred to the legislature to be chosen in the next general election of senators, and that in conform to the section one, the four-teen of the contribution of the time is delivered for the months previous to the time of such election.

New York Age Bureau, Jeanette Carter, Manager, 609 F Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Nowhere else is there so much war work going on as here in Washington. It is the heart of National war work, of course, and from which flow all currents in the scope of war activities. The average citizen of Washington takes time in doing this work in those engaged in in office service, but that vast army of workers who live indirectly upon the National Treasury. It is not too much to say that the colored citizens of Washington do more gratitudous war work than any other body of citizens, and are not employed in Government service to the extent and in the capacities of other citizens largely because of antecedent practice based in race and color, which the war has made abundantly fast making abounds upon. This fact was demonstrated when the Treasury department, division of Loans and Currency, Registered Bond Section, through an arrangement with the Civil Service Commission, employed thirty-five colored teachers from the four divisions of our School System, as temporary staff. This was four weeks ago. They resided satisfactory service and indicated to the Government source of clerical supply which it will hardly overlook in the Church rallies here are a favorite way adopted to raise church revenues to meet current deficits. Our church collections everywhere are very numerous, but the aggregate returns are always comparatively small, $50 people in a congregation hardly ever putting more than an average penny in the basket. church goers would buy them cents or $10 in the churches would not have to beg so much and often spoil the services in so doing. The Rev. F. W. Dixon's Beulah Baptist Church has just had a rally in which his Deanwood congregation raised $501.30; while the Queens' Rally of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Arlington, netted $681.98; and the Queens' Rally of Trinity A. M. E. Church, the Rev. E. James Henderson pastor, realized $681.98; two squares were needless pleasures and events were given to support our churches they would have plenty of revenue and to spare.
