ADEQUATE FACI ALL PASSENGE ADEQUATE FACILITIES FOR ALL PASSENGERS PROMISED Specific Cases of Mistreatment to be Investigated. McADOO'S POSITION Director General of Railroads Writes Dr. George E. 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."

Dan T. Moore of the 349th Field Artillery, in which complimentary reference is made to the deportment of the regiment while in a French town: FRENCH REPUBLIC, Town Hall, City in France. Col. Dan T. 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. A suitable building for the establishment of a canteen for the benefit of the soldiers. Some of the officers of this Voluntary Service League are: President, Mrs. Amorel Cook; retainers, Mrs. L. M. Holmes, Mrs. M. E. Burrell, Mrs. E. F. Hilton and Mrs. Emma Wormley; treasurer, Mrs Louise Hilton. KILLED BY EXPLOSION AT EDDYSTONE PLANT (Special to The New York Am) PITAMARIE, Pa.—Oscar A. 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. Carter of Atlanta, Ga., is President of the conferences in Arkansas, and he has created much interest in the work of the church.

Scott, serving in the War Department as special Assistant to the Secretary of War, has issued a ringing appeal to the 12, 000,000 Negroes of the country in behalf of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Mr. Scott launched the Liberty Loan Campaign here among the colored people of the District of Columbia Saturday night at the Howard Theatre in the presence of a large and representative audience. Many subscriptions were handed in during the evening. DRIVE IS ON HARLEM FOR 4TH LIBERTY LOAN The colored and white residents of Harlem who live in the precinct known as the '38th, are expected to subscribe $1,600,000 toward the Fourth Liberty Loan and are working hand in hand to accomplish the desired result.

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. CAPT. CHAS. W. FILLMORE SERGT. DANIEL W. LEWIS SERGT. WILLIAM. BUTLER SERGT. CHARLES RICK SERGT. ROBERT COLLINS CORP. FLETCHER BATTLES PRIVATE GILBERT. JOHNSON Col. 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. ~ I os Bere ttscrertnr ee eremesemeee terme rec eee ee Ieee eS le 4 fererel i PEERS CTE SRE SNe SESE OSES Cui Paste GU ee anaes Corey eh" 22 nyse CU SOND BOSE RAT Te ear ORE RED aR REE TT AT oer + ; : j ey rr a mm, ee BS , a ee Pees a> , , : WN : d , Epcos Nahata aaa van odes ge | OR Wy + hen) > 7 ra i 3 cara came] Ls Fc 7 a ZN cn: 5 ry pa iy ei ; me Sa Wen es eS ee math a Car Same 4 4 iF mT eee roa Re: Fs 13. : See Pa Ab EAL Rea Cee er F Re: calls SESE ps an-sysreM: NOW OPEN! i.

He declared in the ‘United States Senate Tuesday that (he was opposed to giving the Ballot ito ‘colored women because he be- ‘longed to the slave-qwning class. To quote Senator Williams ver- ‘Yatim: “I belong to the class that ‘owned slaves and know them.” ‘While the Senate was voting on fe- "male suffrage, classed, as a war ‘measure, the Mississippi senator was ranting about slavery which ex- fisted ‘more than a half century ago. Who will deny that Mississippi is ‘grossly misrepresented ? ‘ A MIXED SITUATION. * The Census Bureau recently Hissued some interesting statis- “ties concerning the newly ac- “quired territory of the Virgin Is- iJands, formerly the “Danish “West Indies, The area of these “new possesions 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 be- ionged to Denmark for: 245 years, ‘the language of the people is -Eng- Aish. The population according to thie census taken in November, 1917, jyas 26,051, classed as follows : 1922 Ewhite, 19,523 Negro and 4,606 fmixed, Of the 430 farms reported £102 were operated by whité farmers ‘as owners, managers or tenants; 270 by Negroes; and 58 by mixed-blood It was to be expected that the -atincxation of foreign territory con- faising a large proportion of colored population would add to the incon- tgruities and absurdities of the color ‘question, as it already-existed under the proscriptive policy prevailing in ithe United States. But the peculiar ‘classification adopted in this cen- ‘aus of the Virgin Islands betrays ante kind of discrimination, Here, ‘inthe States, under the latest gov~ eminental ruling, adopted in the Military registration, the slightest admixtire of African blood is sup- posed to class the individual as “Negro.” Yet in this latest pos- session, besides Negro, we find the classification of , “mixed’” and “mixed blood.” “Lt is to he hoped that when the struggle toward a. fuller and freer: democracy is achieved, mich of this hairsplitting and discriminatory classification will be done away ON THE HINDENBURG LINE. According to'a London cable, re- ceived the first, of the week, troops from the States of New York, Ten- nessce and North and South Caro- lina, under the comand 6f General George W, Read, broke the Hin- denberg line on a front oi, 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 coniposed 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 alsc probable that the North and South Carolina troops referred to are alsc 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 fore- front of the battle by bucking the Hindenburg ‘line. They are all adepts at “treatin’ ‘em rough” and may be trusted to live yp to the traditions of the race in all the battles of the Nation. ~ 3 That these Negro ‘soldiers can stand punishment without flinching, as well as inflict it, is shown in the latest story of the coriduct 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 fecl increased pride in this regiment, * RAILROAD FACILITIES. “Under the law railroad facilities for colored passengers must be ade- quate,” is the gist of the reply dic- tated by the Director General of Railroads to the protest of the Na- tion Medical Association against the “Jim Crow" car system: At the sime time it is stated that as the laws requiring separate accommo: ison 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 favor- able to the accordance of proper treatment and decent acconmmoda- tion for colored travelers. but -it likewise betrays total ignorance of the rotten conditions that are im- posed upoi the colored passengers in the-South. The assurance is given, however, that complaints of unfaif 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 com- plaints, I wish you would let me know the particulars.” It is only through taking up spe- cific cases of unfair treatment and rmination against colored pas- eon that the injustice of the “Jim Crow” car system can be im- pressed upon the Railroad Admin- istration and upon the public at large. .. Another, evidence that the situa- tion as it affects colored travelers is not appreciated is to be found in, the injunction as to the patriotic duty of travelers’to suffér incon- venience 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 igno- rance of the true conditions. Rut as is indicated above, “specific-com- plaints,” with names, dates and par- icnlars, are the only method of im- pressing the Railroad Administra- tion that the accommodations now VIEWS and.REVIEWS ee ee 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. Ve say “Etc.” because -although the Senator was speaking to the Suff- rage Amendment, he lugged’ in a great many other things, especially all of his pet 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 €xperimentation, and the mutations coming with lightning. rapidity challenge our attention and present the world in a cosmic phenomenén 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.” ae : 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 arid 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 Missississippi principles of “keeping the Negro down.” . Did he support suffrage because he was ignorant of the fact that Lit 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 de- frauded and intimidated as colored men have béen? 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 be 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 spedfes is more deadly than the male” | How wayitthen, 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. Wardaman 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 Suth, especially the mentally gvopic, sel- fish soulless little politiciatis (we don’t know whéther he'meant to include himself) have been so dilatory and in some instances so indif- ferent to the gravity of the question that 1 have almost despaired of any immediate action on their part.” The senator's great hope now i 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 docs Senaor Vardaman want to see the problem set- ued? 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.

It is as follows: Wasiictow, D, CG. W.

Tt is bound to come eventually and such narrow oppositign can only delay the dav_ i” ‘rulera‘or diplomats‘or armies, it; will bé ‘settled by the various ‘peo- ples 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 individdal 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 pawer aid 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 lnmd been, there never would have becn a war. The nee tional 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 winriing 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 think- ing 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 thé first set; but a revolution which aims at a change in the principles by which men are to be governed. In his address, Président Wilson summed-up the issues at stake in this war in the following five questions: . Shall the military power 6f 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? Stall strong nations be free to wrong weak nations and make them fubject 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 confmon 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 allisnce 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 onfy 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. We bope-that-within our own borders he will be able to bring about an interpretation of these principles that will include white and black alike. . | AND “YANKS” IT IS. ° Some time ago there was considerable concern over the name by which the American soldiers of the expeditgejary forces should be known. There was a concerted paresis effort to load them with the meaningless “Sammy,” but the soldiers themselves ‘would have none of it. Of course, the effort to label the Americin soldiér with “Sammy” was done in imitation of the Eriglish “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 “Tom- my Atkins,” it was not arbitrarily stuck on to him. “Tomthy Atkins” was the name selected by the British War Office to fill in the specimen form of a nianual 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 “Heze- kiah 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 Amer- ican soldier, when he had a perfectly good name, a name universally known, a ‘name that expresses the American soldier just as “Témmy” 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 conditians 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 we name which already belonged to the American soldier? Atany rate, Yanks it is; and it's a mighty good name. 1 NEW YORK’S NEGRO REGIMENT. N.Y. .Glohe.) ‘A “certain” Negro regiment tn France has dlstingulshed Itaelf, ans press despatches.

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.

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.

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. At a public rally held in the Metropolitan Baptist Church last week, the following committee was designated to assist in the Liberty Loan Campaign in the District of Columbia: Dr. S. P. W drew, Dr. George W. Thomas, the Revs C. B. Jackson, S. P. S. Hackett, J. J. Johnson, Lewis Stevens, J. A. Jackson, J. A. Smith, and Dr. R. D. Botts. It is being planned to have patriotic rallies October 12-16. It is the general expectation that the colored people of the District of Columbia, will make a creditable showing in the Fourth Liberty Loan, they made in the others. Miss J.
