The Race Riot Reported as Unjustice and an Injustice to Colored Soldiers at Camp Alexander, Va.—Investigation Made by Maj. George C. Collins Brings to Light that Police Without Good Cause Started to Beat Up Two Colored Soldiers with Chase Who Resented This Form of Treatment. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) NEWPORT NEWS, VA.—Col. Charles L. Dulin, in command of Camp Alexander, has written a letter to the Times-Herald branding false the sensational reports published by the paper which he charges have done a great injustice to the colored troops stationed at camp. Colonel Dulin's letter to the Times-Herald follows: On September 22, 1918, you, published on the front page of your paper story which has been given circulation throughout the country, to the effect at a mob of civilian Negroes, headed a SCORE or more 'NEGRO SOLARS, attacked the Second Precinct from Norfolk, etc., etc. The story further states that ten soldiers and civilians were shot in the exchange of bullets, etc., that the Negro soldiers were from Alexander, as camp Alexander is NEGRO stevedore camp." The undersigned promptly dispatched officer—Major George R. Collins—this camp to Norfolk to make a thorough investigation of the matter. The facts are as follows: Only two soldiers were involved in attacks—not a score. Therefore, ten soldiers were not shot down, one of the soldiers had gone to a photograph gallery to receive pictures that he had previously had taken. He was accused of stealing $15 from the register. He denied if the prosecution went out and returned with two witnesses. It would appear that had the soldier been guilty he would have faced, however, he remained. No One Was Killed. The two policemen jumped on this and beat him down with clubs, several hundred of this man's race, one soldier who was standing by seemly believing that this man was exactly took his part and, accordingly, trouble for the police.

SCRANTON MOVER KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Special to THE NEW YORK ACE SCRANTON, Pa.—A fatal accident befall Wm. Phoenix last Saturday while he and a helper were taking a load of furniture for the Howes-Riley Draying Co. to Kearney, N. J. Near Hacken-sack the machine 'got beyond control; going down a steep hill, and turned over. Mr. Phoenix jumped but, slipping, the auto fell on him, causing his death. D. D. Jones brought the body home. Mrs. Phoenix has the sympathy of the community. WAR CHANGES WAITERS AT PHILADELPHIA CLUB (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-For the first time in the history of the Union League, white, women "man" all the dining rooms of its club house. All of the colored waiters who took the places of white men last January are dropped. White women took their places. Only a few of the older men are retained to serve liquors. War is the reason, for this change of policy. Waiters have been classed as non-essentials in the "work or fight" regulations. All of the men dropped are in the draft age. SLAPS WOMAN'S FACE; THEN RACE RIOT BEGINS HOPEWELL, VA.—Five were killed and seventy-three injured in a race riot which occurred here Thursday of last week and which started over the proprietor of the mess hall at the Du Pont Munition Plant slapping a colored woman in the face who "refused to obey orders." Of the five dead, three are white and two colored. The man who started the trouble is said to have been one of those fatally wounded. But for the arrival and impartial attitude of two companies of Pennsylvania troopers from Camp Lee, who were sent to Hopewell by Provost Marshall Swindell, the riot would have assumed larger proportions. It is said that when the proprietor of the mess hall slapped the colored woman her husband was standing less than three feet away. He quickly resented the insult. Matters were made worse when a colored cook took sides with his employer and began to shoot at the husband. Then several colored men went to the rescue of the wife and husband. News of the shooting spread like wild-fire, and the police, instead of quelling the disturbance, are charged with aggravating conditions by attacking colored people. On account of white ruffans shooting at colored passengers on the trolley car running between Hopewell and Petersbury, traffic on the line was suspended for several hours. The riot started at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon and was not quelled until 7 o'clock in the evening. 'RA! LOCK REPORTED IN THE FIRING LINE ieut, Thomas Bullock of the 367th is the first intimation received here of which Col. James A. Moss is fighting in the front-line trenches. At the close of the training school the deceased was commissioned a second lieutenant and assigned to the 367th Regiment at Camp Upton. Lieut. Bullock was formerly a clerk in the Post Office here, and worked at the Grand Central branch. The home of this collection is given by cable dissection on Washington, M. C. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1918. ROBBED OF VOTE IN MISSISSIPPI ROBBED OF VOTE IN MISSISSIPPI 1,500 Votes Elect Congressman in District Where 250,000 Negroes are Disfranchised. INTIMIDATED AT THE POLLS Politicians Know Why Vardaman and Williams Protest Against Giving Negro the Right to Vote —John Sharp Williams Fails to Revive Old Slavery Issue in Senate. (BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF THE AGE.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Politicians of both parties find it difficult to keep a straight face when Senators Williams and Vardaman of Mississippi get up in the United States Senate and make bitter speeches against giving the colored American the ballot. It is a well known fact that were it not for the prostitution of the ballot in the State of Mississippi neither Vardaman nor Williams would be wearing the Senatorial toga. Only a few days ago the Republicans in the House gladly consented to pass the corrupt practice act, which makes it a Federal offer to "promise, offer or give or cause to be promised, offered or given any money or other thing of value" to any one either to make him vote or withhold his vote or to vote for or against any candidate for Congress. A penalty of $1,000 or a year in jail or both is provided. It is expected that a number of Southern Congressmen will be retired when this new law goes into effect; for instance, in one district in Mississippi the Congressman is elected every two years by a vote of about 1500 because 250,000 Negroes are in his district and only a few white men. Although there are hundreds of colored men who meet all the educational, tax and property qualifications for voters, they have been unable to cast votes because of acts of intimidation. On the other hand the most ignorant and illiterate white man can vote in Mississippi. A white face is the chief requisite. The color of one's skin is the determining factor on the question of "superiority." White Women Stand by Colored Sisters. Last week when the suffrage bill came up before the Senate the white women active in securing the passage of the measure refused to abandon the colored women, passing little heed to the arguments advanced by Southern Senators of the Vandaman brand. There were many Democratic Senators from the North who voted with the Republicans in voting down the amendment offered by John Sharp Williams, restricting the ballot to white women only. The Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Sun quotes the senior Senator from Mississippi as professing friendship for the colored American, but declaring that not in a thousand years should he vote to extend the franchise to the women of the race "Forceful as he usually is," writes the Evening Sun correspondent, "Senator Williams held the close attention of the Senate and even those who disagreed with him entirely about the Negro question were forced to admit that he presented the old argument in a manner that was both logical and convincing." Then the correspondent makes known how logical and convincing was the talk of Williams by saying: "His amendment got eighteen votes, which just about includes the standpat Senators from the Solid South." In opening his article about Senator Williams's speech, the *Evening Sun* correspondent writes: "One of the classic speeches of the Senate was delivered during the recent debate was made by Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi in support of his amendment to the suffrage resolution limiting suffrage to white women. It was in all respects just such a speech as might have been heard in the Senate in the old slavery days, but it is the kind that will be heard no more, because the men who knew the slave question are passing and the coming generation knows nothing of these things. It is probable that it will be the last omotioral utterance of its kind, and, as such, probably will have historical significance in the future." Republicans and Democrats in Congress from all sections except the solid South have been heard to express similar views as the *Evening Sun* correspondent on the passing of the old slave issue in the Senate and House. It is impossible for them to associate war memories of today with slavery, long unheard and as a final link. HARLEM BUYS MANY BONDS $200,000 Worth of Fourth Liberty Bonds Subscribed Up To Wednesday Evening. MEETING NEXT TUESDAY War Pictures of Colored Troops in France Will be Shown on the Screen at Palace Casino—Hon. Marcel Knecht, French Representative Will Speak On This Occasion. More than ordinary interest is being shown by the residents of Harlem—white and colored alike—in the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive, and up to Wednesday evening over $200,000 had been subscribed. The work of directly reaching the people has been systematized and organizations have been perfected among the various professional and business interests. Each evening the headquarters at 2280 Seventh avenue is a bee-hive of industry, and the feeling prevails that Harlem will make a most creditable showing. Prizes are to be awarded those selling the largest number of bonds. A friendly rivalry exists among the volunteer workers. Mrs Theresa L. Rose is reading, having sold $6,524 worth of Liberty Bonds. Others deserving of mention at this time are Miss Lily L. Max, $6,000; St. Philip P. E. Church, $5,000; Miss Adele Mitchell $3,100; Miss Louise Yates, $2,150; Mrs. I. C. Crampton, $2,000; Southern Beneficial League, $2,000; Mrs. Gracey Naill, $1,900; Mrs. V. Harris, $1,700; Mrs. Maud Jones, $1,400; Miss Lillian Campbell, $800; Mrs. Ida Hilton, $750; Mrs. Marie Pavon, $500; Mrs. Rosalie McClendon, $250. A feature of the drive is the speaking of women who are making appeals for subscriptions from vans. This phase of the work is under the direction of R. C. McPheerson. One of the largest meetings of the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive will be held next Tuesday evening at Palace Casino, 135th street, near Madison avenue, on which occasion the Hon. Marcel Knecht, a representative of the French Government will speak and motion pictures of our soldiers "over there" will be shown Col. Roosevelt has been invited to speak, L. F. Leech of the Liberty Loan Committee and Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, will make a talk and Col. William J. Schieffel will preside. The Clerk Club, 15th Regiment Band of the New York State Guard and Miss Marie Johnson, formerly of the Williams Singers, will furnish the musical program. The Fordion Brothers, proprietors of Palace, Casino, have given the use of the casino for the big meeting. WAR HERO BACK IN THE UNITED STATES Priyate Needham Roberts of Trenton, N. J., one of the first members of the old 15th to be awarded a French War Cross, who, with Private Henry, Johnson defeated twenty or more Germans, is back in the United States. Roberts is now a patient in the base hospital at Lakewood, N. J. He is still suffering from a gun-shot wound in the right elbow, and it is doubtful if he ever will see active service in the trenches again. The young hero proudly wears his Croix de Guerre which was awarded by the French for gallantry under fire, and also a regimental citation which was conferred on the entire regiment by General Pershing for conspicuous bravery. Before going to Lakewood, N. J., Roberts was a patient at Ellis Island, where he was the cynosure of all eyes. He is a modest young man and not given to bragging about his feats in the trenches. Aside from the wound in the right arm, Roberts was bayoneted in the left hip and fragments of shrapnel entered his right leg. He has been in various hospitals since the engagement with the Germans. Private Henry Johnson, who saved Roberts' life and was twice honored by the French for driving off the Hun, was only injured in the foot and is said to be back with his regiment on the firing line. DR. JOHN E. W. THOMPSON, FORMER U. S. MINISTER TO HAITI, FATALLY STABBED BY BRIDGEPORT PATIENT COLORED NURSES ARE VERY MUCH IN DEMAND In announcing that volunteer workers may desire experience by spending as many hours as they can afford working at Lincoln Hospital, Mrs. Adah B. Thoms, acting superintendent of nurses, says: "The demand for nurses has been so great that we have been unable to furnish adequate supply. A number of our nurses have been sent to homes that bithertor have not been opened to colored nurses." The following statement appearing in a Newport paper speaks in complimentary terms of colored nurses now serving at Newport, R. 1.: "A woman of the summer colony has brought here to help in the influenza epidemic a number of female colored nurses from the Lincoln Hospital, New York, and their services since arriving in Newport have proved most valuable. This the Red Cross recognizes as well as official organizations of the medical profession." "WE'VE GOT BOCHE ON RUN" WRITES MCKAINE Mr. and Mrs. Orlando Rouland, 130 W. 57th street, are in receipt of an interesting letter from Lieut. O. E. McKaine, in which the writer says in part: "We have received a most wonderful reception everywhere we have gone and I am most proud to relate that very, very few of the men have violated our THE OFFICER confidence in their attitude towards the inhabitants. The Buffaloes have been tres polite and have made friends. Of course this new freedom required strict control and delicate adjustment to prevent its misinterpretation, but all of our apprehensions are over for it has become quite natural for the Buffaloes to go anywhere, anytime with anyone, without unconstruing the character of the person or place. As for myself—I have never before experienced that it meant to be really free—to taste real liberty—in a phrase To be a man, I love the French. We have entered into their most intimate affections and we won't violate their trust. "We've got the Boche on the run and we are going to lick him good and plenty before we give him time to catch his breath. Everywhere the offensive spirit SEEK RELEASE OF THOSE IN HOUSTON RIOT TOPERA, Kan.—Application for a writ of habeas corpus seeking the release of forty-one Negro soldiers serving sentence in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth for participation in the Houston riot was filed today in the United States District Court. The application is based on the assertion that the court-martial which tried the Houston rioters was summoned by order from the headquarters of the Southern Department of the Army, which, the position states, was not embezzled to call such court-martial. Bridgeport, Conn.—Dr. John E. W. Thompson, former United States Minister to Haiti, and for a number of years a member of the Health Department of New York City, was stabbed to death in the hallway of his office, 966 Main street, Sunday morning by Thomas Saloway, 30-years old, of 137 Clinton street, who committed suicide a few minutes after fatally cutting the physician. PULLMAN PORTERS OWN STOCK IN COMPANY It became known at the headquarters of the Pullman Company at the Grand Central Station this week that one hundred Pullman porters of the New York Central district are stockholders in the Pullman Company. The men have been permitted to buy the stock on time, paying $100 a share, at the par value. FAILED TO MATERIALIZE Wednesday of this week a score or more colored educators from the various sections of the country came to New York to attend a session of the National Educational Congress, of which J. Silas Harris of Kansas City, Mo., is said to be one of the leading spirits. Up to Wednesday evening the visitors were unable to secure any information as to the place of meeting or locate the officers of the congress. Delegates from Louisiana, Oklahoma, Indiana, Arkansas and other states, with credentials from the Governors of their respective states, were not in the most congenial mood when they found that local residents knew of the proposed meeting and could throw no light on the matter. NEGRO MINISTER OFFERS PRAYER IN WHITE HOUSE NEGRO MINISTER OFFERS PRAYER IN WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON, D. C.—President Wilson permitted the Rev. J. C. Austin of Pittsburgh, to offer prayer in the White House for the health and success of the President of the United States and our soldiers during a visit of a delegation of Negroes which called on the nation's chief executive one day last week. The delegation was composed of members of the National Race Congress, who were in attendance at the third annual convention of the organization. After prayer W. H. Harrison of Oklahoma addressed the President, making a plea for fair play for the race. President Wilson-Listened with marked attention, but made no reply. A memorial was presented to the President on the part of the Congress, signed by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, Dr. John R. Hawkins, William H. Harrison, the Rev A. C. Garner, the Rev M. Milton Waldron, J. H. Randolph, Bishop I. N. Ross and A. M.

ON, FORMER TI, FATALLY PORT PATIENT Dr. Thompson died on the way to the hospital in the ambulance and Saloway expired twenty minutes after reaching the institution. The remains of the physician were taken to the undertaking parlors of Louis E. Richards and the body of Saloway was removed to the morgue. After Saloway had stabbed his victim he ran and was pursued by Nick Scorfacio, 250 State Street, who was cleaning the physician's office. Seeing that he was about to be apprehended, Saloway turned the knife upon himself, the weapon entering through the lower portion of the heart. The stabbing is said to have been premeditated. According to information secured by the police, Saloway had been under the care of Dr. Thompson for several months and had paid him sums totaling $300. A receipt for $30 dated October 2, was found in Saloway's pocket. Friends of the dead murderer, named that Saloway believed himself in poor health than when he began treatment and this preyed upon his mind, also said that he made application to the police, asking what he could do in the case, stating that he was killed by the doctor, but was asked to adjust the matter civilly. Dr. Thompson was 57 years of age and was born in Brooklyn, N. Y. He attended the schools in that city and later took up the study of medicine at Yale. After his graduation from that institution he spent several years in Paris, France, where he continued his studies. He was appointed United States minister to Haiti in 1886 and served in that capacity during a period of six years. He held that official position during the uprising which resulted in the rise of Gen. Legitime to power. He returned to the United States in 1892. Soon after he returned to his New York home he was appointed to a place with the department of health in New York City. He served the city 12 years. About five years ago he came to Bridgeport and opened offices in Main street. Besides his widow, the dead man is survived by two sons, both of whom are now serving in the United States Army. Lieut. Ernest Thompson is at present stationed at Kelly Field, Texas, and Private Elliott Thompson, Fort Groble EXTRA! THREE MEMBERS OF OLD 15TH KILLED IN ACTION Corp. Fletcher Battles and Corp. Morris Link, members of the old 15th, are reported to have been killed in action. Both had been cited for bravery and decorated with the French War Cross. Corp. Battles was 20 years old and lived at 68 West 99th street Corp. Link lived in Mount Vernon, N. Y., and enlisted with Col. Hay- ward's regiment with twenty-two other young men of Mount Vernon. He was married. Word was received here Wednesday that Herbert Richardson, 144 West 133rd street, has been killed in action. MISSISSIPPI CHURCHES RAISE $1,400 FOR WORK (Special to The New York Ac (Topical to the New York Acad.) Miss. Miss—Bishop R. A. Carter of Atlanta, Ga., has just closed a great meeting here, which was attended by ministers and laymen of the C. M. E. Church in Mississippi. This is the beginning of Bishop Carter's term as bishop of the Mississippi conferences. He has outlined a great educational and missionary program, and fourteen thousand dollars was raised in this meeting to push forward that program. A great reception was tendered Bishop Carter on Wednesday night with lead- ```markdown ``` (Special to The New York Age.) ALBANY, N. Y.—Dr. William H. Johnson, Albany's best known colored citizen, died October 3, at the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor in his eighty-sixth year. Funeral services were held Saturday at the home and thence from St. Mary's Church. The interment was in St. Agnes Cemetery. The pallbearers were A. J. Oliver, H. A. Spencer, J. W. Price, R. A. Madison, W. A. Brent and E. Brown. The deceased was born of free parents in Alexandria, Va., March 4, 1833, and remained there until 12 years old, when he was taken to Philadelphia, where he spent four years learning the barber trade. About 1851 he came to Albany and became a free colored man with noted affiliation and free colored men were interested in helping slaves come from the South. On August 2, 1852, Dr. Johnson married Miss Sarah A. F. Stewart, who died last spring. In 1855 Dr Johnson returned to Philadelphia in the interest of the abolition of slavery and many slaves, and by birth the "underground" railroad. He saw service in the Civil War as a member of the Second Connecticut. Dr. Johnson was identified with the Republican Party from its organization in 1856. He was present at the convention in that year when Freemont and Dayton were nominated. From his presence at the convention he was a familiar one. From 1866 to 1873 he was chairman of the New York State Equal Rights Committee interested in securing equality for the colored man in all walks of life. After eight years as chairman of this committee he declined re-election. Dr. Johnson drafted an amendment to the military code of State strike "white." This was passed in 1872. He also drafted the Civil Rights bill which became a law in 1873. He was also largely responsible for the provision of the State constitution adopted in 1867, by which property qualifications, in the case of colored voters were eliminated. Dr. Johnson drafted a bill abolishing and enforcing laws which discriminated against colored people as to states and payments of policies. Before Dr. Johnson's activities the companies were charging higher premiums on the lives of colored people, and in some cases at least, were deducting from the amount of the policy when due 333per cent on the ground that the companies were more than third more than colored people. Arguments by Dr. Johnson before the legislative committee carried the bill through the Senate and Assembly and later Governor Hill also yielded to the eloquence of Alhany's colored orator. In 1900 he succeeded in having placed on the statute books laws making possible equal treatment of all the public schools of the State. During his long active career, Dr. Johnson came into contact with many noted men whom he assisted much in their work. In 1855 he was a Free Soiler. Later he met and worked with Frederick Dong-sung, Gerritt Smith, Stephen Myers, John Fremont, Michael R. the Rev. H. H. Garnett Prof. W. H. Day, Jacob C White, O. V. Catto and others. Besides politics and the uplift of his race, Dr. Johnson was interested in Masonry, and often protested against the fine drawn between whites and blacks in the craft. In 1883 he received the thirty-third degree, which was conferred upon him by the highest Masonic body of the colored Masons. He was a fluent speaker, and often appeared at the capitol in behalf of measures affecting his race. After being a member of St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church for many years, Dr. Johnson, about five years ago, joined the Roman Catholic Church and was with that communion when he led To Dr. and Mrs. Johnson were born four children, one son and three daughters. The son—William H. Johnson, Jr., died several years ago. The daughters survive; Mrs. Sarah Edwards of North Adams, Mrs. Emma Carr of New York and Anna, who also lives in New York City. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL AT DURHAM -DURHAM, N.C.-The National Training School opened its fall session with a large attendance. The enrollment last year was 176, and forty of these students are now fighting at the front to make the world safe for democracy, as the Dudham Daily Sun said in an editorial, "safe for the white race as well as for their own race." It added: "The founder and president of the National Training School, Dr James E. Shepherd, is devoting his life to this cause and this institution. A more energetic and more unselfish, and more earnest, and you might say, a martyr, but he is not. He cannot be found in any land. He has done and is now doing, a splendid work.

NON-COM. OF QLD 15TH (Special to The New York Age) Syracuse, N. Y.—Sergeant Joe Brimby will come here from Port Ontario next Thursday to tell the Syracuse Red Cross about "The Colored Soldier in the Trenches." Syracuse is Kellogg County and he has seen seven years in service. He was with the old Tenth Cavalry. When he was sent home to recuperate he was with the Fifteenth Infantry. He may go back and he may not. It all depends on how well they fix him up at the Port Ontario hospital. He was through the early fighting around Chateau-Thierry, was wounded three times, suffered shell shock and was gassed. He was put out of the fighting June 24 at Brown Hill. Before he went back to the hospital the Fifteenth regiment had won fame and glory against some of the best the rest of the Army. He was eleven months in France. Since returning to the states to recuperate he has learned that his brother, Sergeant Tom Brimby, also of the Fifteenth, has been killed in action. 200 IN ARMY TRAINING CORPS AT TUSKEGEE (Special to The New York Age) TUSKERGE, Ala.—The University's Army Training Institute, the Army Institute of Training, Tuesday, October 1.

Enter into it, therefore, with all your heart and make up your mind that you will grasp this opportunity that is given you to get the best location and time for training that will be offered you here." Hon. William P. Cobb, Secretary of State-elect, made a very inspiring and patriotic talk. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, made an impressive address, saying in part: "President Wilson, who is a Democrat in the broadest sense of the word, has very, wisely seen to it that we make first men, black and white, and second, soldiers, and so has given every opportunity in every way to fight, to have physical, morally, spiritually, to make them the best soldiers. This army training corps began by the United States government has really had this in mind. To train men, black and white, in the highest ideals of democracy, and that is the reason why I am so proud this morning that Tuskegee - Institute may have a large share in trying to help our government in helping our men to be of the highest quality in their race, the nation and to humanity."

It would be a crime against God himself, against future generations, against all that life holds, good and pure and sweet to permit the Germanic Doctrinaire to supplant the peaceful policy of this nation; I would be happy to have millions of colored soldiers over here fighting to preserve the dearest and highest valued thing on earth, to the nations of the world and to future operations; HERTY; I would be more aware to have them die, if need be as a tangible expression of their determination that the government of the people, by the people, shall not perish from the earth. "I am not apprehensive of the future of my people in the States for the free allied nations of the world will not condone America's past treatment of her colored citizens, in the future; for shall we not have fought beside the best blood, the best white blood in all the world in the holiest war of all ages? Shall we not have shown that we are willing, nay, eager to pay and pay dearly in our own blood for the right of the peoples of the earth to share equally in its blessings, to enjoy the same rights, to receive equal justice to have a voice in their government, by our blood contribution? So I go forward certain and sure that my people will share equally with Armenian and Serb in the fruits of the triumph of right over might and democracy over Antocracy. Death is nothing, for I love my race more than life itself." GEN HUTCHESON PAYS Special to The New York Acc. HAMPTON, VA—"A lot of colored men are doing magnificent work in pushing forward our lifes.

WANTS REAL DEMOCRACY WHEN THE WAR IS OVER A member of the 52J2 Infantry somewhere in Frager, writes to The Age as follows: "While writing in my dugout, doing duty in the front-line trenches somewhere in France, I want to state a few things for the benefit of the colored boys throughout the world as a world war, in which every one is taking part for what is known as democracy. The colored man, who has taken part in every war from the days of Christopher Attucks, has not been given all due him as a soldier and fighter. "Today there are thousands of colored boys fighting for the same thing white boys are fighting for, but the question is whether we get our share? The mother who takes the wife who has a husband, every sister who has a brother, and those who have loved ones fighting for democracy should pray to God that we receive what is due us after the war is over. "Over here in France, the colored soldiers are ready to obey orders and always anxious to meet the enemy. I hope those in America who have a son, a husband a brother or a sweetheart write. Also pay that our colored boys, after the war, will get their just division of democracy."

No illusory notions about an early peace should be allowed to lessen the effort to keep the enemy on the ruh. Our soldiers in France have got the Germans running and every additional subscription to the Loan helps to back up our soldiers. Our churches, societies and individuals should not relax their efforts to win until the terms of unconditional surrender are submitted. Buy a bond and help bring about a speedy surrender of the enemy. TALKERS AND DOERS. Harlera has been entertaining an angel unawares, as the scriptural phrasing goes. The visitor who was the redoubtable Nick Chiles of Kansas, might deny the possession of any angelic qualities, but nevertheless that is the role which he enacted. Some results and conclusions of his visit are stated with true Western frankness in a recent number of the Topeka Plaindealer, of which Mr. Chiles is editor. Among other things he said: From '123rd to 165th street there are, we believe, thousands of colored people residing, and in three squares there are over ten thousand colored people living. They parade on the streets while the Jews carry on the business for them. To our surprise we found in some instances Jews conducting restaurants, stores and dance halls for colored people. We noted in one block a Jew and his entire family were serving refreshments for colored people, and four or five clerks were kept busy, perspiration running down their faces like water from the sky, waiting on their colored trade, while in another block not far distant we found the same kind of business conducted by colored people at a standstill. Before colored men in New York can boast of their patriotism and loyalty to the race, they must insist on Jews employing colored people, or colored people must engage in business for themselves. We are sorry to say, that while the people of New York, on a whole seem very intelligent, they are not as progressive as they should be and there is not much force to them when it comes to doing things. They are good talkers, but poor doers. Now, while these impressions and conclusions may not be flattering nor comforting to New Yorkers, it is well to consider them calmly and see whether there may not be some basis of fact in them. Criticism is rarely pleasant to the subjects of it, but the only way to extract the sting and benefit by the experience, is to take it under serious consideration and if well founded, endeavor to profit by it. The injunction for the colored people of New York to engage in business for themselves and insist on the employment of individuals of the race in the businesses that cater to them is not new. THE AGE has advanced that course in season and out of season for many moons. If an outsider can perceive the same necessity and state so with such baldness, the exigency must indeed be pressing. If the businesses conducted by colored people were found at a standstill, as this candid observer states, the remedy is in the hands of our people. Let them turn the tide of their trade into the sluggish streams pouring into these struggling enterprises and set the wheels of business turning with a steady velocity that will carry them on toward success. Even if some personal inconvenience is involved at first, let them persist in this course until practical results are attained. The way to profit by the unflattering verdict of our Western visitor is by doing the things that lie before us. Talk alone will accomplish nothing. Let actions demonstrate that the "angel among us unawares" was not entertained in vain. POLITICAL DIVISION. The Watchtower Man in the New York Evening Mail has perceived a tendency toward division among Negro voters, even when professing the same brand of party politics, and comments upon it in this fashion: There is a considerable vote of Republicans who are colored in Essex County, New Jersey, which includes Newark. Also there are three associations in the county laying claim to the name "Essex County Colored Republican Association." New York City has a very much larger colored vote than Newark, and the plan of sustaining a colored organization by either the Republican or the Democratic party has been regarded as obsolete. When the present apportionment was made the colored vote in the 135th street section was divided by the boundaries of three districts—the Thirteenth, Nineteenth and Twenty-first—with a view of preventing any district from being dominated by colored voters. It has not had that effect, for the colored voters have been more successful in choosing members of their race to represent them than was the case under the former apportionment. There are several admissions in this comment which possess some significance, as illustrating the standpoint from which the white politician is inclined to regard the Negro voter. One is that the plan of sustaining a colored organization has become obsolete. This may be so, in some measure and with the accordance of equal privileges in the general organization, it may become more and more so. The other admission that the apportionment of the Harlem districts was contrived so as to prevent any one district from being dominated by the colored voters is also significant. That despite this arrangement the Negroes have succeeded in securing a larger measure of representation than ever before may be credited to their increasing political strength and independent voting, as well as to the growing sense of justice and fairplay among the political leaders of the Republican party. With a strong and compact organization, under proper leadership, even greater results might be achieved. Party organization has not yet outlived its usefulness, and groups of voters with special interests to protect still find that through organization their efforts can be made most effective. Under present conditions, it cannot be expected that the Negro voters will entirely abandon organization methods. PLAYING WITH FIRE. The fact that a Democratic Congress has passed a bill to punish corrupt practices in Federal elections would seem to be incredible. Nevertheless, it is so. Of course the brand of corruption aimed at is not the kind that produces majorities in Southern States and keeps the South solid for the party's candidates. No, the bill is intended as a sort of slap at the Republican party. It provides that it shall be a Federal offence to "promise, offer or give, or cause to be promised, offered or given any money or other thing of value", to any one either to make him vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate for Congress. A penalty of $1,000 not have real equality unless you have real fraternity, and that real fraternity means potential blood relationship in lawful marriage; that is, he makes justice from one man to another depend upon whether that man would be willing to look upon the other as an eligible son-in-law or brother-in-law; this is not only nonsense, it is an absurdity. The Senator in clinching his argument on this point said: "Just as long as you keep the women (the white women of the South) imagining that family life may be threatened there will be no justice, because there will be no friendly feeling toward justice." Now is it possible that a man of Senator Williams' intelligence cannot see where is line of argument leads him? It leads to this: if you give the Negro justice, he may prove equality, and with equality would come fraternity, and with fraternity would come inter-marriage. But we cannot understand why the white women of the South should feel such nervousness about the "threatened family life"; for even if through being accorded justice the Negro should prove himself the equal in every way of the white race, colored men could not go about marrying white women by force, nor could colored women go around kidnapping white men for husbands. There could be no inter-marriage unless white women accepted colored men for husbands and white men wooed colored women for wives; and the granting of justice, even the great, fundamental justice of being allowed to vote, would not entail any such obligation. We have always stood amazed at those chivalrous men who put the white womanhood of the South on a pedestal, and then proceed to talk and act as though the granting of simple justice to the Negro would result in these same women rushing into the arms of colored husbands. It not only contradicts their oft proclaimed theory of the "great and impassable gulf fixed between the races by God at the foundation of the world," but it seems to us to be something that the white women of the South should in some way resent. It appears that they should want to be saved the humiliation of such defenders. It is clearly the determination of Senator John Sharp Williams, of the upper classes, as well as of Senator James K. Vardaman, of the lower masses, and of the majority of all the other Southern political leaders that there shall be no American democracy which includes the Negro as an equal citizen; and the opinion of these men is the majority opinion of the whole South, otherwise they would not be in Congress and other high places. And to us it is equally clear that the highest destiny of the Negro cannot be worked out in accordance with the prevailing policies of the South, but must be worked out in opposition to them. THE EGOISM OF THE WHITE RACE. The egoism of the white race is so monumental that at times it amounts to a disease, or better still, to an infirmity. This egoism of the white race makes it claim everything worth while that has ever been accomplished; and what it cannot claim it belittles. And so it is that we learn from books written by modern white men that the ancient Egyptians were white people. This claim is made because the ancient Egyptians were the originators of the fundamentals of the civilization which the world now lives under. It was the ancient Egyptians who originated the religion and the arts and the sciences which are the foundation of all present day culture; and they were doing that work when the progenitors of Anglo-Saxons and Teutons and Slavs were hairy savages living in caves and crunching on raw bones, savages that had not yet the faintest glimmer of a knowledge either of religion or letters or government. The white race claims that the ancient Egyptians were white people because it is the only way of getting in on the credit for starting civilization off. And the claim is made in spite of the fact that the features of the Sphynx and other early Egyptian monuments are as Negroid as the features of the typical deck hand of a Mississippi River steamboat. And so it is that other black and dark races who have accomplished something have been claimed as white people. The Arabs and the Hindus and the Moors are "white people." Efforts have been made to prove even that the Zulus, on account of their bravery and prowess in battle, are not really Negroes. We can all remember how shortly after the close of the Russo-Japanese war a number of scientific writers sought to show that the people of Japan were after all a branch of the white race. It is a wonder that somebody didn't try to prove, after he licked Jim Jeffries, that Jack Johnson was a white man. Perhaps in the far future, when pugilism is a lost and forgotten art, some writer on the subject will try to prove it. When the white race cannot claim credit for something great and good, by claiming as white people whoever accomplished it, they belittle the deed or claim indirect credit. We are having examples of this indirect method of claiming credit in most of the accounts of bravery and heroism that are published about the black American troops at the front. Here is a fine example; an excellent account of the soldierly qualities of our colored troops in France published in a Boston daily contains the following paragraph: But the Negroes never lose their latent superstition and fear of the dark. Without white officers to support them morally their value is said to deteriorate quickly. They "see things" with case. The Negro trooper's timidity at night is best illustrated by the experience of a captain, who found one of his men at work after dark. The Negro was talking violently to himself: "Niggah, pick up that wheel barrow and push it over there!" "Now put that barrow down!" "Tip it over and empty it." "Now wheel it back and fill it up again!" To all of which the Negro answered "Yes, sah!" and suited the action to the word. He explained to the astonished captain that he felt less lonely and scared in the dark if he pretended a white officer was there to give him orders. If there is any truth at all in the incident, it will also be found to be true that the Negro in it was making a fool of the white man concerned. And it would be amazing to many white men to know how many times Negroes, and ignorant Negroes at that, make fools of them. It is really funny to lots of Negroes to see how easily they can do the trick. At any rate, to an intelligent, thinking colored man it seems that the white race ought to be ashamed to feed its egoism on any such stuff, and that a reputable white newspaper ought to be ashamed to print it. The debates on the Suffrage Amendment have given Southern members of Congress a chance to shine; that is, they have opened up an opportunity for the statesmen from the cotton belt to talk on the only two subjects on which they can wax eloquent; and a Southern statesman rarely cares to talk unless he can wax eloquent. The Suffrage Amendment opened up the opportunity to talk on States Rights and the Negro Question. And yet, these two questions are one and the same with Southern Solons, for States Rights to them is merely another name for opposition to the Fifteenth Amendment, which gave the Negro the right to vote. That Dixie statesmen are not so solicitous about the sacred principle of States Rights in regard to anything else was borne out by their recent action on the Federal law on prohibition. Strictly speaking, a national prohibition law is an invasion of the rights of the states, yet it was the congressmen from the South who were the chief advocates of such a law. Last week we made some comments on a speech made by Senator Vardaman; this week we are compelled to pay some attention to Senator John Sharp Williams. Both of these men represent the State of Mississippi, but they are men of very different type. Vardaman is an ignorant demagogue and Williams is a man of cultured restraint. Vardaman will launch the vilest and most brutal kind of a tirade against the Negro, and do it not only to get votes, but right on the floor of the Senate. Williams' method is more polite. For example, in his speech to which we now have reference he said: I belong to the old slave-holding class of the South. I never belonged to the nigger-hating and nigger-haiting class of the South. They were never composed of slaveholders. We took care of our darkies like they were members of our own family in a way, because in a sense they were. There are 50 to 75 I have upon my roll, and amongst them some of the most honest and true and loyal men and women I have ever known in my life, white or black. Nobody can make a nigger hailer out of me; nobody can make a nigger hailer out of me; and nobody in Mississippi can ever make out of me a man who gained, or would gain, office by "cussing" Negroes. John Sharp Williams does not "cuss" Negroes, but what he says about them in the Senate is, perhaps, even more, deadly than what Vardaman says. The man from whom the Negro has most to fear is the man who opposes him from a position of seeming fairness; the man who is frankly prejudiced and unfair cannot do nearly as much damage. A study of these two senators from Mississippi sheds a light on the whole race situation in the South. Here we have one, the representative of the ignorant, prejudiced masses, the element from which we expect no help; and the other, the representative of the enlightened classes, the element from which we have often been led to look for help; yet, in the final analysis, they both represent the same thing, the determination not to allow the Negro the rights of equal citizenship. John Sharp Williams does not openly advocate the oppression of the Negro, in fact, he professes a sort of condescending interest in the Negro's welfare, but on the point of denying him the equal rights of citizenship he is just as firm as James K. Vardaman. In this recent speech of his he declared that an American democracy which embraces the Negro is an impossibility. This is the way in which he put it: When you undertake to erect a structure of democracy, it must be founded upon the four pillars of justice, equality, fraternity and liberty. But you can have no real justice unless you have real equality. You can have no real equality—and I apologize for repeating this thought now, for it is about the eighth time I have done it—unless you have real fraternity, which means potential blood relationship in lawful marriage. You are not going to have it with Japanese and Chinese upon the Pacific coast and you are not going to have it with Negroes in the Southern States. Undoubtedly, Senator Williams thought when he was getting off the above that he was expressing a profound, philosophic truth; the fact is, he was talking sheer nonsense. Senator Williams is talking in a circle. He says that you can have no real justice unless you have real equality; that is, you cannot accord a man justice until he proves himself your equal. But how is a man ever going to be able to prove his equality unless he is given a fair and just chance to do so? According to Senator Williams, you can deny a man justice and thereby deprive him of all opportunity to prove his equality, then justify your denial of justice on the ground that the man is not your equal. This is not only talking in a circle, but a very vicious circle. By that sort of logic almost any crime in the world could be justified. See how it works out in practice: Senator Williams does not consider that the Negro is equal to the high duties and privileges of American citizenship; therefore the just thing to do is to deny him the right and opportunity of ever becoming equal to them. Moreover, the Senator from Mississippi, in spite of culture and his boast of belonging to the aristocracy of the old slave-holding class of the South, seems to have no regard for the principle of "nobility obliges," the essence of which is that justice from a superior to an inferior is more obligatory than justice between equals. But Senator Williams makes his circle a wide one; he says you cannot have real justice unless you have real equality, and you can- or a year in jail or both is provided. That legislation of this sort may be used to prevent the suppression of suffrage in the South does not seem to enter into the calculations of its Democratic proponents. They either count on the continued apathy or cowardice of the Republicans to prevent them from utilizing such a precedent, should they ever regain control of the law-making power. It may be that their confidence is well founded, but a renaissance of Republicanism under a more progressive and braver leadership is not out of the question. Under such conditions the party might well regain its former sway and redeem its past due pledges. Last year about this time we took occasion to note the good work accomplished by Mr. C. E. Epps, the agent for THE AGE in the thriving and prosperous city of Plainfield, N. J. It is pleasant to record that he is still keeping up the good work, and establishing a standard for efficiency and progress hard to excel. From a beginning with five copies, he is now selling 260 papers every week, and what is equally important making an accurate and prompt return for every sale. With a hundred agents zealous to equal or surpass this record, THE AGE would receive a welcome boost to its circulation. THE BEST HE EVER READ. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE.

Some man to another depend upon telling to look upon the other as an in-law; this is not only nonsense. In argument on this point said: "Just (the white women of the South) be threatened there will be no justly feeling toward justice." Now for Williams' intelligence cannot see him? It leads to this: if you give equality, and with equality would unity would come inter-marriage. Why the white women of the South about the "threatened family life" need justice the Negro should prove of the white race, colored men could women by force, nor could colored men for husbands. There could be women accepted colored men for colored women for wives; and the great, fundamental justice of being all such obligation.

Camp Lee is situated six miles from Petersburg, Va., and 72,000 soldiers daily over that vast area. Of this number 11,000 are Negroes, comprising 11th and 12th Battalions, the Replacement Battalion, 407th Labor Veterans and 1st Development Battalions. There are four colored captains and four colored lieutenants assigned to the placement camp. The army association denies the Negroes nothing which is given the soldiers. There are five colored Y. C. A. units with a staff of twenty-four secretaries serving the thousands of diers who soon will be in Berlin. A modern hostess house is now made way of construction where women and girls may rest who come to visit the friends and relatives. The new order from the War Department making compulsory the training of all illiterate soldiers, has so larged the school attendance that special teachers have been secured to meet the urgent educational need. Eight "Y" secretaries and fifteen tailed instructors devote their full time to teaching 1,230 illiterates, members of the 1st Development Battalion, who are compelled to attend the day school which run from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. from 1:30 to 4:30 p. m. In addition there is a mass Free class of 600 that meets in the school at Hut 83, and classes of 400 attend the execling school "Y." "Y" composed of members of the 400 Labor Battalion. It safely can be said that the college army school at Camp Lee is the large school in the world, with Camp Doe a close second. The men, ready anxious to learn, meet daily for instruction and are taught, not only how to read and write their names, but an arithmetic, army geography, army history, letter writing, interpretation army orders, civics and sex hygiene They are taught to put away a parcel each month's salary in Liberty box and insurance. The Southern Negro soldier is ting a brand of education he really knew before and much expected of him after the war as a suit of Rule No. 45 of the War parment. Owing to the epidemic of Spy influenza all meetings except educational have been suspended, but other departments of the Y. M. C. are kept extremely busy administration to the needs of the sick. It is not strange to see a secretary with a card in hand going from camp to camp late as 12, 1 and 2 o'clock at night, eruping up our soldier boys in order that they may not get pneumonia. This war is going to mean a great deal for the American Negro. France we learn that it is a common sight to see a southern white man a colored man on intimate terms friendship. France has afforded a wonderful opportunity for the American white and the American colored man to what democracy is, and it is hoped after the war sociocracy of race be established here in America.

Far from it; he was sell-Liberty Bonds. Leftowitz, instead of remaining captivity in Petersburg, was permitted to come to New York and serve as speaker in the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive. He was assigned to the Speakers' Bureau of the Allied Theatrical Interests and Sunday set out to make a hit in the metropolis. As it was, the prompt interference of cooler heads prevented him from getting hit. After Leftowitz had made a specific appeal to the white people on the Alhambra audience to buy Liberty Bonds he began to talk to the colored people. White and colored people were not invited at the same time to purchase Liberty Bonds, for such an act would have evoked of "social equality." Leftowitz is accustomed to the "Jim Crow" way. During his talk to the white people Leftowitz caused his hearers to move uneasily in their seats by using the term "nigger," next he made matters worse by inquiring if there was "a nigger" from Virginia" who would buy a bond; then he incited a near-riot by calling on "all the 'niggers' present" to come up and subscribe to the Fourth Liberty Loan. He several colored theatregoers they intended to subscribe during the evening, but were too angry and embarrassed to do so. Instead he buying bonds they joined in the housing. The management of the Alhamra Theatre next day made all sorts of apologies to a delegation of colored men which called to protest against Sunday evening's occurrence. As the delegation was correctly told, the attaches of the theatre were as disagreeably surprised as the audience when they heard Leftowitz using the term "nigger." Regret also was expressed by the heads of the Allied Theatrical Interests, who did not hesitate to say that Leftowitz was doing more harm than good and promised to see it that the speaker from Virginia deported himself more like an American who possessed some common sense than one engaged in spreading German propaganda. On Friday afternoon of last week two, colored performers, seated in the audience at the Palace Theatre, heeded the call to "do their bit" and each bought a Liberty Bond. Enthusiasm ran high and the subscription was one of the largest on record at the Palace. After the bond subscription the vaudeville show was resumed, Clark and Verdi doing their turn. This team is supposed to do an Italian act during which several statues are introduced. Here is one of the "jokes" they put over: Clark: "This is the statue of Abraham de Link." Verdi: "Who was Abraham de Link?" Clark: "Why, he stopped the 'nigger' from work." This "joke" did not make a single person in the audience laugh, and from what I can learn it seldom does. What Clark and Verdi want to do is get wise to the fact that especially in this neck of the woods the public knows how to differentiate between a joke and a slur. Even to the casual observer it would seem that an effort to disparage the colored man at this time would be very much out of keeping; for he is in the trenches at this moment working to make the world a safe place for such people as Clark and Verdi to live in. Of course, Clark and Verdi will disclaim all thoughts of using their "joke" on "Abraham de Link" to ridicule the Negro if told $n$ to keep it out of their act by vaudeville managers. They will profess great admiration and maybe love for the colored American, winding up with the usual: "I did not mean any harm." It is ever thus when the race resents an insult in the proper manner. After last Friday afternoon's performance at the Palace Theatre the two colored performers who had bought a Liberty Bond each called at THE AGE office and inquired of me if there was a law on the statute books of this State against a person or persons holding up a race to ridicule. I answered them in the affirmative, and read the last few lines of the act which became a law May 15, 1917, which reads as follows: * * * or commits any act or acts whereby any race of citizens of this State is held up to contempt or ridicule, is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred nor less than one hundred dollars, or by imprisonment for a term of not more than one year or less than three months, or both. Clark and Verdi and all other vaudeville acts which hold up the Negro to ridicule can be brought to the realization that they are breaking the law and flirting with jail. But it will take more than the colored. man's usual weapon—TALK—to bring these defamers of the proper way of thinking. Personally, I should like to see some member of the race who repeatedly uses the term "nigger" when in one another's company get in durance vile before any white person. After all they are the most guilty of all guilty parties.
