Taking exceptions to what they regarded as the unfriendly attitude of the theatre management toward Liberty Leontis Workers, a crowd of boys and men stoned the Lincoln Theatre, located on 135th street, near Bonex avenue, last Thursday evening, breaking the glass in front of the house and damaging some of the seats. It is claimed by those having charge of the Harlem Precinct of the Liberty Loan Committee that Mrs. Downs manifested no disposition whatsoever to cooperate with the committees prior to the incident; that while she permitted workers to sell bonds on one occasion she refused to accord them a similar courtesy on subsequent visits. Thursday evening when workers asked to be permitted to sell Liberty bonds in the theatre the request was denied by Mrs. Downs, it is charged by R. C. McPherson, Leigh Whipper and William Bridges. Others in the party were Mrs. Mandelle Taylor, Mrs. Blanch Moss, Miss Mand Jones, Mrs. Theresa L. Rose, Miss Pearl Grayson, Mrs. Guise Mall, Miss Fields Voting, George Jones, "Jimmy" Parker and Miss Ruby Klinton. When members of the party were not allowed to sell Liberty, bonds on the inside of the theatre they went on the inside and began to make speeches from a trook on which they were being carried from place to place. Mr. Downs is said to have objected to this arrangement, and one of the female members of the party accuse him of having called her a _____ far. By this time hystanders began to urge the workers to continue selling bonds in front of the theatre, and while great excitement prevailed someone sent for the police reserves. When the police learned of the cause of the trouble they returned to the 38th Precinct Station without making an arrest. News of the animated discussion between Liberty Bond workers and managers of the Lincoln Theatre quickly spread, and outside parties then made matters worse by throwing stones and other missiles. Object to Insulting Reference. The report was also circulated in Harlan that Mrs. Downs had stated that she wanted the "niggers" selling bonds kept out of her theatre. As the house patronized exclusively by colored people, many living in the section took exceptions to this alleged statement. This rumor is said to have been the result of a communication between the Maybell McAdoo, secretary of the Harlem Precinct of the Liberty Loan Committee and a Mr. Robinson, associated with the Allied Theatrical Interests. Mr. McAdoo stated to an Anx representative that last Thursday afternoon a man giving his name as Robinson called and stated that Mrs. Downs was at the Headquarters of the Allied Theatrical Interests; that Mrs. Downs had said that thirty "niggers" had been to her theatre the night before selling Liberty Bonds and she did not want them to come to the theatre any more. Mr. McAdoo took exceptions to reference made to "niggers" and told the man who told his name was Robinson and she did not think that was the way to refer to colored people. The man wanted to know, he was speaking and Mrs. McAdoo The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

Although Mrs. Downs is now willing to permit the薪稠 workers to sell bonds in her theatre the committee has respectfully declined the invitation. The controversy is the chief theme for conversation in Berlin. A few months ago Mrs. Dowas engaged in a controversy with colored performers, who charged that she did not give them the proper consideration and that she insisted on employing a white manager and white caster, although her patrons were colored. LIBERIAN DAY IN THE LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE Dr. Ernest Lyon, Consul-General to Liberty, in an address at the Altar of Liberty in celebration of "Liberian Day." Thursday of last week, declared that the $6,000,000,000 asked of the United States is a mere bagatelle for a people whose resources are estimated at $150, 000,000,000, whose earning capacity per per annum is rated at $50,000,000,000 and whose national debt is only $6,000, 000,000.

WELL KNOWN OF IRVIN COBB TO SPEAK ON NEGRO SOLDIER The patriotic evening to be held at Carnegie Hall Saturday evening, November 2, for the benefit of the Circle for Negro War Relief, promises to be one of the unique entertainments of the fall season, and already a large audience seems assured. The chief speaker of the evening will be Irvin Cobb, the famous war correspondent, who recently returned from France. In his various articles about the American soldiers in France Mr. Cobb has spoken in the highest praise of the 'Negro soldier, and, altLough a Southerner by birth, he has admitted in his literary co-tributions that more serious and kindly consideration will be given the colored American in the near future. On November 2 Mr. Cobb will talk of what he saw the colored boys in being doing, 'over there,' and has con- sidered to answer for the Circle. Some of the musical features of the programming in the experience of the theatre faculty which made a contribution to the show The cornerstone of the new Y. M. C. A. Building, Colored Men's Branch, 181 West 135th street, was laid Sunday afternoon with imposing ceremonies and before 2500 persons. The weather conditions were ideal. Nearly five hundred persons were seated on the main floor of the building when the meeting was called to order by Thomas E. Taylor, branch secretary. Dr. E. P. Roberts, chairman of the branch, officiated as the presiding officer. The presence of the 15th Regiment Band of the New York State Guard, under Bandmaster Simpson, which played "America" and other numbers, gave the occasion a patriotic tinge. The audience took part in the musical program. The honor of the laying of the cornerstone was conferred on William Felix Morgan, president of the Y. M. C. A. Building, city of New York, Dr. R. M. Moton, principal of Lighthouse Institute and Dr. William Jay Schieffelin were among the speakers. Other numbers on the program were: scripture reading, the Rev. J. W. Brown; OFFICERS OF THE 367TH invocation, the Rev. R. M. Bolden; financial appeal, Dr. W. H. Brooks; reading contents of corner stone, Walter T. Diack, general secretary of the Y. M. C.

The new building will cost $385,000 when completed and furnished. It will consist of seven floors. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors will be used as sleeping quarters and will contain forty-one sleeping rooms on each floor with ample shower and toilet facilities.

Rudge, the oldest living member of the New York African Society of Mutual Relief, died Sunday morning at his home, "OVER THERE." 2921/2 Thirteenth street, Brooklyn, by inhaling illuminating gas. His death is thought to have been accidental. The deceased was born in Beaufort, S. C., seventy-eight years ago. He was an employee of the First National Bank, Manhattan, for thirty years, and retired about five years ago. The deceased was chairman of the board of trustees of the New York African Society of Mutual Relief for twenty-five years. He is survived by his son, J. Royal Rulledge. Funeral services were held. Wednesday evening at 8:30 at his late home. The remains were interred in the family plot at Cypress Hills Cemetery, Thursday. MANHATTAN, N. Y.—George Banks, who was among the American killed on the vault that was targeted Friday, II, was the son of Nora Banks, Manhattan of this globe. The Negroes of Harlem rose to the occasion and did themselves proud Tuesday evening at Palace Casino, 135th street, near Madison avenue, when they subscribed $60,000 worth of Liberty Bond. More than four thousand were present. Patriotism ran high and race men and women nobly responded to the appeals of the speakers to stamp out autocracy and "raus mit" the Kaiser by subscribing liberally. The big meeting was presided over by Col. William Jay Schieffelin of the 15th Regiment, New York State Guard. Knecht, Freisch High Commissioner to the United States; Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; James W. Johnson, J. F. Leech of the Liberty, Loan Committee; L. G. Engel, supervisor of the Harlem District; Judge Groehl, Captain Ward of the 38th Police Precinct and soldier boys who recently have returned from the trenches. The committee having charge of arrangements for the meeting included Fred R. Moore, John H. E. Phillips, John E. Nail, Samuel Siegal, Miss Maybelle McAdoo, Mrs. Theresa L. Rose and Elwood S. Wright. The women workers acted as users under T. B. Smith, George Marshall and Morris Philippi The meeting was preceded by a parade through several streets in Harlem which disbanded at the Palace Casino. Leigh Whippier served as Marshal. One of the pleasing features of the parade was the presence of the Naval Detachment Band which was followed by colored members of the theatrical profession. Taking part in the parade were the 15th Regiment Infantry and Band, Pershing's veterans, motor corps, composed of nattily dressed colored women; Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association; Women's Police Reserves and the Colored Police Reserves. The line of march, was: 132nd street and Seventh avenue to 143d street, through 143d street to Lenox avenue, south on Lenox avenue to 130th street, east on 130th street to Fifth avenue, north on Fifth avenue to 135th street, to Palace Casino. There were plenty of red lights and cheering all along the line of march. Two bands furnished the music at Palace Casino. After playing "America" the 15th Regiment Band gave way to the Camp Merritt Band, composed of sixty white musicians, which played patriotic and other airs during the remainder of the evening. The hall was especially decorated for the occasion with flags and bunting, and the color scheme was heightened by the uniforms of the soldiers and canteen workers. R. C. McPherson and William Bridges, who enjoy the reputation of having sold more Liberty Bonds in Precinct 38 than any of the volunteer workers, won additional laurels Tuesday evening. Their energetic appeals from the platform for subscriptions helped materially in the selling of the $60,000 worth of bonds. At various times during the meeting those in the audience were spurred on to buy Liberty Bonds by vocal selections most pleasingly rendered by talented artists. George Johnson, formerly of the Williams' Singers, and the Abyssinian Trio, composed of Marguerite Jackson; Tom Cross and Ed. Williams, made a decided hit. Wilber Swatman in a claionet solo, accompanied by J. Rosamond Johnson, was also entertaining. Captain Knock, the French High Commissioner, was recorded a roaming welcome and his remarks were heartily applauded. He delivered with composure that before the war the French had been killed in combat and iniquity and遭殃 survived all that this hardened country had suffered and France remained in with ones in Africa, Asia and India, China. The speaker said it was due in a huge measure to France's belief in civilization, humanity and Christianity that when on August 25, 1914, German troops were advancing on Paris and the French soldiers were retreating, the black soldiers from the French colonies came opportunely by the thousands from West Africa and gladly joined with their white comrades-in-arms to stop the grenush of the Hunt; so that in September these colored troops had played a most important part in the Battle of the Marne in which historic battle the Germans were badly wounded. Captain Knecht, amid cheering, expressed the opinion that the great war is transforming the world, and that it is a war for the people of the world against autocracy, hatred and social distinction. In March and April of this year when the Allied troops were retreating, and when once more things looked gloomy, the skirts were cleared and French children and women were made happy by the arrival of white and colored troops from America, Captain Kusch said in describing the amount of fresh soldiers from America. The French High Commissioner has told us that the American troops seem to know that the colored soldiers from America were being received in the homes of the French people and given the same sympathetic consideration as the French soldier. Dr. Robert R. Moton also was given a most cordial welcome by the large audience, and he scored strongly, from the start by telling of a luncheon he at- A tended Monday at the Waldorf Astoria at which $25,000 in Liberty Bonds was subscribed to by all white men. This statement provoked such a big laugh that the head of Tuskegee stated that he did not subscribe for bonds at the luncheon. Dr. Moton congratulated the residents of Harlem for buying more than $50,000 worth of bonds, which he thought as laudable and furnished as much cause for jubilation as the $22,000,000 subscription of the millionaires at the Waldorf-Astoria luncheon. The $60,000 subscription made at the meeting was the right kind of an answer for the Negroes of Harlem to give relative to their loyalty and love of country. "Sometimes we hear the expression that this is a white man's country and a white man's war," continued Dr. Moton. "Yes, that is true. It is just as true also that this is the black man's country and the black man's war. It is our country, our flag, our war, and those are our black boys in France and our white boys in France. It is our President Wilson who is interpreting for the world the democracy for which we all are yearning and which all are hoping will be realized to the fullest extent when the war is over-and peace terms adjusted. "When democracy has been made safe for the world by the white boys and the black boys fighting side by side in the trenches of France, we here at home must be prepared for its benefits. We can do this by being patriotic, loyal and by criticizing the acts of the Government may be achieved. "The Governments are making a strong and democratic effort and are PASS WORK OR FIGHT ORDINANCE FOR COOKS (Special to The New York Am.) Jackson, Miss.-The following article, published in a local publication, gives an insight on how housewives are taking advantage of the "Work or Fight" ordinance which already has brought about the arrest of domestic help for refusing to work less than six days a week, said to have been passed to make cooks, etc., work on Sunday: "Accomplished housewives and housekeepers of Jackson have found it necessary to get together on the domestic servant proposition, which is one of the results of the placing of the 'Work or Fight' question before the people as a six-day-a-week-for-work. The cooks and servants are showing a disposition to cut their work to the six days and let it go at that. "The first symptoms of this disposition became noticeable Sunday. As a matter of fact, they were so pronounced as to permit an accurate diagnosis of the case without a microscopic examination, or submitting germs, culture, etc., to the overlying Dr. Stingey at the Stake Laboratory. "A number of the cooks and servants failed to materialize Sunday, and just as many housewives on members of the family were compelled to do the work for homework, cooking and serving the table must be done on Sunday as well as every day during the week. "Monday a number of the ladies held brief but strictly business conversation. They decided that if the cooks and servants would not work on Sunday they could not work for them during the week. 'Ahl There's the rub! If they don't work during the work the police, who are very energetic in their inquiries regarding that work card, will ask for the card. As those who are not working will not be given cards, and those who received cards before they will find the bits of postcard cancelled, the police will take the casual ex-convict or former convict to the police station, where the ordinance is on file. "Prize Judge Thompson will try the case. He will observe the penalty choice, and a fine of not more than may be imposed. There is also a very strong chance that a guilty convict will accompany the sentence about the fine.

RESENTING AN INSULT. -tRere are various ways of resent “ing am insult’ The impetuous left jab to the upper jaw'is not without effect as, a rejoinder, if deftly de livered ander proper conditions. ‘But. such violent measures as a «shower of bricks through a window, like the pugilistic gab, are open to ‘the objection of leading to a breach of the peace and involving further violeace, with police intervention and a prison cell in the offing. Then there is the more dignified and more éffective course of isolating the of- fendiag party from social or busi- ness istercourse, until apology and expiation serve to atone for the in- sult. These reflections are caused by the ‘incident reported from Harlem in which the proprietor of an amuse- ment heuse catering exclusively to colored patrons, is charged with making a slurring comment upon the activities of the colored Liberty Loan Workers, in which the ob- noxious term “niggers” had to be used. This alleged insult- was promptly resented by the person concerned, and some resort to vio- aa macasures’ was begun by hot- ‘hedded .sympathizers: But more sober counsel prevailed and the line of protest sidopted involved only the shunning of the place from which the insult proceeded. =~ “" ‘This is the most effective form of protest possible under the cir- ‘cumstances. Jt ‘entails no :provok- ing of a breach of the peace and it hurts the instigator of the insult in the rest vital spot—the pocketbook, But it requires some persistency and . flinthearted determination to make . this treatment felt. There must be ino letep. in such cases or the entire moral effect will be lost. There: is too much softness.and indifference in the disposition of our peeple to resent insults effec tively, A little soft soap and cheap blandishments and the insult is soon forgntitn. A. stiffer backbone ‘and a less violent but nidre lasting sense of tesentment aré,ngeded to ensure} respect,” BAGH Ls upon the’ cle’ oF the, wa wil be the release of-a.lange number of trained: men,’ who have accepted| positions of dignity and_responsi- bility as officers in the army. “These men will be adequately equipped| by gdetation and: experience to fill positions of usefulness and activity in civil life. They will be qualified to“liandle targe bodies of ‘men as executives, to undertake enterprises of large scope and variéd nature. In order-to afford them oppot- tunities to exercise these functions that have been acquired through the course of war, they must look either to service under govern- mental .or ‘corporation ‘auspices. Tiere will be great competition for this kind of employment owing to the large number of trained men of all caces released from military aug Te is therefore ‘hecessary for thetfarsighted leaders among the Negroes to devise some method of organization that will utilize to the best advantage the services of the officers of their race. ; The National Negro Business League, at its fast annual meeting, approved and entered upon a con- structive policy, which might aid greatly in the development of race cplerprises under the direction of trained men/%f their disposal. The necessity for" race co-operation and the mobilization of small in- vestors into a solid phalanx to finance industrial enterprises is a pressing need of the times. The lesson ‘the people at large fare learningGn saving and invest- ent of small sums in War Savings ‘Stamps ‘and Liberty Loans should not be without value to the Negro jin particular. It has shown the race the power .of smiall ‘sums when gathered into an aggregate mass. It will only be in stich manner that the race will, bé able to assert its con- ‘structive ability through its selected instruments. . | The ability for organization that has hitherto shown its highest de- velopment in- religious and secret society lines must also be directed into commercial lines. The time is Tipe andthe means, both in terms of dollars and men, can easily be found. Leta plan be devised to] employ both these means in har- /ness, so controlled as to guide them to the longed for goal. The time: has now arrived for the doers to get together. Action is the essential need of the hour. It is to be hoped that as soon as the influenza epidemic.has subsided and the colored nurses can be spared from the arduous dutie: they have so ably discharged in Newport, R. I., and other places, a sufficient number of them may be sent to’the relief of the soldiers re- quiring attention in France. It is up to the National Red Cross and the War Department authorities to make good ‘their promises -in this particular.. _ The"Rev. B. T. Harvey, Sr., of Lakewood, N. J., advocates’ a re course*to prayer by the churches and pubtic in general to lessen the ravages of the influenza epidemic. On the other hand Dr. Wan. H. Ferris.of Philadelphia recommends fresh air, warm clothing, gargling the throat and spraying ‘the nose. The health authorities advise per- sonal cleanliness, frequent changes of clothing. and avoidance of crowds. So it behooves the average person to work as well as pray, if he wants to avoid the epidemic. - Liberia, the West African. Re- public, is preparing for a presiden- tial campaign, and’ already three candidates are in the field for the nomination, namely ; C. D, B. King, Secretary of State; J. J. Dossen, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, S. G. Harmon, Vice-President. In ati appeal in behalf of Mr. Harmon, the following dedication from a book by Stuart Young, a white man, is quoted with approval: “A. black man with a white man’s heart.” Whether -this physiological pecu- arity will prove a handicap in the presidential. race remains td. be seen. we Me SEE don jc! ou te Fa lee acks-hold the whites down in’ subjection? . In -thib:day‘whén the face'of the whole world is turned toward the new demortacy, is it’ not more reasonable'to think that, even Ja the South, each‘individual may ‘enjoy’ all of the comnion rights of citizenship without danger to.any othér individual? The stateinent of the editor of the Jackson News is a confession that the black people of Mississippi are higher- minded than'the white people, for it cannot be said that they have any desire for or even idea of black supremacy; that is, the seeking of poyer in order to hold the white people,down' in subjection ; they are seeking only participation in the common democfaty. | ‘The statement of the editor of the Jackson News is furthermore a confession that white supremacy, at least in Mississippi, does not rest upon any intrinsit worth or merits or fitness, or upon any innate superiority, but,upon mere brute:force and oppression. It is a confession of the’fear that nine million Negroes in the’ South, if giver justice and equal opportunity, would wrest ¢conomic, political and social stipremacy from the twenty-five million white people of that section. Of course, no such thing could happen and nobody knows it better than the editor of the Jackson News; but we wonder if he does not see that’ his statement makes him appear to believe in Negro superiority. . | If the.editor of’ the Jackson News really felt that the giving of the ballot to the Negro would perhaps lead to the subjection and oppression of the whites in the South, there would be some excuse for his words and his attitude, but the fact that he has no such fear, that he knows that the Negro is seeking only for fair play, makes his attitnde base, and makes his words calling for bloodshed and murder nothing less than criminal. . ol “So much for our lesson in editorial writing. “Now we wish to say something else to the editor of the Jackson News. He says that if certain laws are passed, the South will see darker and bloodier days than those which followed the Civil War. Let us say that if for any reason whatsoever the lawless element in the South should start a new Kuklux Klan, another reign of terror, they would find that they had a Negro to deal with who would be. quite different from the ignorant, ‘superstitious, newly emancipated slave of fifty years ago. God grant that such a time'will never come. And we do not believe that such a'time will ever come, But if it should come, we agree with the editor of the Jackson News in saying that the days will be a good deal darker and a good deal bloodier; too, than those which followed the Civil War. ~~ an ‘TACTLESSNESS OF THE POLICE.- ‘The Sunday papers heralded a “race riot’, in Brooklyn; and the Inews goes all oyer the country leading people to believe that there was a clash between the races. The fact is, there was no such thing. A colored man, probably the worse for drink, got into a row with a white shopkeeper with the result that the colored man had his skull cracked. . The colored man, bleeding,,sat out on the sidewalk and a crowd of colored people gathered around him. The white shopkeeper be- came frightened and took refuge across the street in another shop. The crowd increased and seemingly the ‘police, who held the white man under arrest, were afraid to bring their prisoner out until they were reenforced. i ea “When the reserves came, the order was given to disperse the crowd ; and witnesses state that the captain of the reserves said to his men: “Shoot! and shoot to kill!” At any rate these police, most of ‘them plain clothes men, started in clubbing men and women indis- criminately. - 2 : This is what led the only serious trouble that there was. The colored man, Wright, who was shot and killed by the police, was obstinate about moving; in fact, he resisted being’ shoved on and clubbed by the police; he went so far as to draw a small pocket knife and slightly wound-one of the officers; in this he-was entirelj* in the wrong. But the police not only shot him down, but after he was down and trying to crawl away on his hands and knees, witnesses say one or two policemen walked alongside of him and poured eight or ten more shots info his body. This was unnecessary, brutal and cruel. . What is really nggded in these great black belts of the city is a larger number of colored policemen. That will allay the feeling that white men are imposing on colored men. But because it is impossi- ble at this time to get more colored men on the force; it is urgent that white policemen use more tact in dealing with prisoners and crowds in colored districts. If the Brooklyn, police on Saturday afternoon, when the reserves came, had simply taken their prisoner: away thé’crowd would have miélted of its own accord, and there would have been no such lamentable happening as did ‘occur, THE TRAP THAT FAILED. nas Dentine bhackicien Ghidhite Had it occurred to you, the universal loyalty of our colored citizens? Have you ever met a colored man in. this country who was a pro-German? Dc jou even know aflyone who thinks he fas actually~seen ote? “T have person ally made this inquiry in the South, in New England, on the Pacific Coast, and here at home’ in the central West, and have artived at the firm cénviction “There ain't vo such animal” as 2 pro: German American colored man. ‘When the big war started and Bern- stoff Ict loose his long and carefully prepared plans of arson, bombs, strikes and general confuston {n this country, fone ofthe most dastardly schemes! on Jwhich his boss depended, was an up- rising of the nine million colored people in the South. The effort was well or- ganized, bountifully supplied — with money,,was operated with great secrecy, and at first was carried on outside the larger sonthern cities, All sorts of im possible rewards were ‘promised; the blacks were to own and rule the South; every sort of poisgn lic was used to [tempt the colored Heople into a revolt against. the whites, It was expected and hoped this revolution would keep this country busy for the duration of the war. Of all this people in the North heard very little,” . To the everlasting credit of the col ored people they refused to be led into the trap, and like the proposed revolu- tion in Indie and Exypt and some other countries, the plot miserably friled, At last we entered the war.

Daily News:in a recent issue contained the editorial’ which .id. reproduced below. “We reproduce this editoria in full for two reasons: first, it show’:that as thick as is the skin the bigoted Negro-hater, it is not so thick that the truth can’t. ge under it; second, it is such a. fair sample of the delirious state 0 mind into which the avétage Southernciis thrown when’ confronte: by the question of equal citizenship rights ‘for the Negro. Here ii the editorial: . . : so OUR SENATORS CRITICISED. _ . A Negro gewspaper edited in New York has a savage attack upon _ Seaator John Sharp Williams and James. Vardaman ina current issue. ‘This sheet istfighting for equal social and political rights for ‘the biacks, # It is packed’ full of sedition every issue. Its attack upon the two Mississippians was brought about because of their recent utterances upon the enfranchisement of Negro women. The South will not stand for this step, and as surely as there were dark and bloody days following the Civil War, there will be more darker and bloodicr, if the negrophile element of the East insists upon imposing intolerable conditions upon the South. Pechaps this is no time for a discussion of such things, but momen: tous events are taking placevand there are suggestions that white su- " premacy in the South will have to fight for its life after this war. | If it does, Southern millions will rise to aid it. ee The world may just as well understand now as later that white su- | premacy is absolutely-necessary in! this section of the country. Its only alternative is black supremacy, and that would be a catastrophe beyond words. - . The Daily News has tried to help the Negroes of this state in their yefforts té better their conditions. It believes firmly in educating Ne- gto children, in providing good agricultural and industrial schools for them, it believes in giving them the square deal in our courts, and in being ; perfectly fair tq them in all dealings. But no man save he be utterly foolish thinks the South will ever stand for sotial and political equality of the Negroes, even if this section were to give up every life in it to prevent such an unthinkable condition. OE course, all of this is the raving of a monomaniac; and it might be thought a waste of time to pay serious attention to it. But there are so many monomaniacs of the sate kind in Mississippi, in fact they are so far in the majority above’all other sorts of people in Mississippi, that such utterances demand attention. ° Some might comfort themselves with the thought that the senti- ments of the editor of the Jackson News are not the sentitnents of the better class of white people in Mississippi; there is small comfort in that thought. For though these may not be the sentiments of the better class, they are the sentiments of the dominant and dominating majority. ‘Practically, it makes very little difference to a man whether he is being oppresied by a high brow fnob or a low brow mob; that is, if he objects to oppression itself. We wonder if this Mississippi editor realizes what he is saying? When he says: “The South, will not stand for'this step, (the enfran- chisement of colored women) and as surely as there-were dark and bloody days following the Civil; War, there will be more, darker and bloodier, ifthe Negrophile element in the East insists upon imposing ittolerable conditions on the South,” he is not only inciting to riot, he js talking absolute rebellion. . fs Tf the editor of a Negro newspaper, contending for the just rights of his people in Mississippi, made a similar threat as to what they would do if they did not get them, he would be in jail inside of twenty-four hours, charged with inciting the Negroes to riot. But here is the editor of a leading white daily, a man supposed to have more intelligence than a Negro editor could possibly possess, sup- posed to be a better and more patriotic American, yet this man is publishing words which tend not only to incite riot and bloodshed and the murder of innocent people whose only offense is that of seeking their just rights, but words to the effect that the white people of Mississippi and the whole South would rise in rebellion if the Federal Constitution were amended so as to impose-certain condi- ions on the South. i + Of course, this editor is not in jail, Undoubtedly he has re- ceived a number of congratulatians upon his article from a lot of people whose hearts and brains are no‘ bigger than,his. And all of this has made him feel very proud ; hé feels that he has not only done something to save the great State of Mississippi and the Anglo- Saxon rate as well, but that he has also written a strong editorial. Perhaps around Jackson and throughout Mississippi-he does *njoy-a reputation as an editorial writer, but we should like’ to say ‘io him frankly, and we are willing to place our opinion before any mpactial board, that as an editorial writer he is in the 22 caliber class ;_no, less than that, he is of.the pop-gun variety. Why did he not answer the criticism against Senators Williams and Vardaman? he criticism of the two Missi’sippi senators did not contain a single word of abuse; it was simply an analysis 'of their words and motives. Why docs this Jacksonian editor get mad and lose his head? Why; instead of replying with facts and figures, with sense and reason, Fe scab ac. es a recess csame seme ee ne, ee ne ere: quent part of a Northern general's re- port of a battle that “the colored troops fought bravelys’ The' reports which are reaching us of the -cplored troops in France include moré than “fought bravely"—they fight magnificently, A letter from an officer deséribing such _a regiment going “over the top” is a picture worth, painting.

WALTON) COLORED Americans who have been watching and waiting a long, long time for the arrival in America of films showing Negro troops from over here in martial array "over there" may now appease this longing, thanks to the motion picture service of the French Army. Sunday evening at the patriotic source given under the auspices of Alcatian Union No. 1, at Palm Garden. I was afforded, for the first time, an opportunity to view the colored soldier on the screen in the role of a fighting man. It was truly a novel experience to see those dusky Americans portrayed with becoming dignity and respect, and it was a great pleasure to witness the sincere and hearty ovation accorded them by the enthusiastic Franco-American audience. But Sunday evening at Palm Garden was crowded with novel and pleasurable incidents. The outstanding feature of the patriotic soiree was the address delivered by the Hon. Marcel Knecht, High Commissioner of France to the United States, who paid a glowing tribute to General Foch, General Pershing, President Wilson and other central figures of the world war. While praising the valor of the colored troops from America and speaking of the favorable impression they have made in France, the speaker made reference to the presence in the hall of Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who was an honored guest of the French High Commissioner. Captain Knecht referred to Dr. Moton as a distinguished representative of a race whose soldiers were helping to free the soil of France of the brutal Hun—a representative of warriors who had endeared themselves to the French people. The audience complimented Dr. Moton by rising and cheering him to the echo. The head of Tuskegee Institute acknowledged this marked evidence of cordiality and esteem, by standing in the box occupied by himself and party. The Hon. Geoffrey G. Butler of the British Bureau of Information, and the Hon. Victor J. Dowling were the other principal speakers. They won the hearts of the Franco-Americans by venturing the prediction that when the war is ended and peace declared, Alsace-Lorraine will once more be under French domination. "The Star Spangled Banner," "America" and "La Marseillaise" were sung with fervor by the audience. Many letters have been receiveld from colored soldiers overseas telling of the manifestations of good will on the part of the French toward all people, regardless of race, creed or color; but not until Sunday evening was I fully able to appreciate what is written in the minds and on the hearts of those who, while fighting for democracy abroad, are hoping and expecting to see a real democracy at home. Aside from being intensely human, the French give evidence of possessing another admirable trait—gratitude. This fact is shown by the French Government sending out war pictures presenting the Negro soldier in a most favorable light; again by the salvos of applause coming from the throats of the French people when looking at these pictures. It is applause, not given grudgingly nor condescendingly, but with spontaneity and in all sincerity. France is the most democratic of nations—a nation where democracy is more than a mere rhetorical ornament. After all, it must have been providential that the great world war for democracy was fought William C. Elkins Made Song Leader. The War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities announces that William C. Elkins THE MEMORIAL OF THE FATHER AND MOTHER OF JOHN AND MARY BROWN has been appointed a song leader and will train colored troopers stationed at Camp Stewart, Camp Hill and, Langley Field, all three camps being near Newport News, Va. Mr. Elkins is especially fitted for this work and a better selection could not have been made. For a number of years he was at the head of musical organizations in Washington, D. C., and during the days of Williams and Walker credibly performed the duties of choral director. He was associated with the company for nearly fifteen seasons. Mr. Elkins expects to leave New York for Newport News about the latter part of the week. Bert A. Williams, who has been talking a much-needed rest at West Baden Springs, Ind., is much improved and expects to be in New York in time to go into rehearsal for the new edition of the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic atop the New Amsterdam roof. Mrs. Lottie Williams received a letter from her husband Monday in which the comedian stated that he was feeling dandy and walking about without any great effort. Two weeks ago Mr. Williams found it advisable to take a short vacation as his feet were giving him some slight inconvenience. The many admirers of the celebrated comedian are confident that when the new edition of the Midnight Frolic makes its initial bow he will be on hand to make the audience temporarily forget all about the ruthlessness of the Hun. ROMANCE AND COMEDY BILLED AT LAFAVETTE The play under the laffette Theatre for next week, under the title "Which One Shall I Marry?" might well have been named "For Love or Wealth." The discussion of that question plays a prominent part in the story of a young girl, placed in a position in which many girls of the present day are asked to answer the greatest question in the life of every man and woman, where the vital decision of a lifetime hangs redolent with romance. Again we see the ambiguous mother leaning towards wealth, while the practical father pleads that the girl's heart be allowed to play its part in something so vital to her young life. Torn between final love and not being strong-willed enough to boldly make the decision to marry, she is placed in a position that forces her to seek spiritual counsel. To tell here of the decision she eventually makes and what it leads to would, in a way, be disclosing a secret better told in the theatre. -Romance runs rampant throughout "Which One Shall I Marry?" and comedy of a sparkling vein glitters through it like sunshine through the golden oak leaves of autumn. The key is an elaborate storyline each time while it consumes only an hour of life, still it covers a great deal of time in the telling. It might even be said of "Which One Shall I Marry?" that the first and last acts form a complete play, while the second act is what might have happened and is given in order to help you dejeepe with the heroine just which one glitter of wealth and marries the rich man, or does she heed the call of a simple little cottage for two with the THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

DIXON'S FILM BARRED IN COLORED WARD PHILAEMELPHIA, PA—"The Birth of a Nation" that was billed to appear this week at the Owl Theatre, which is loca- tated in the 30th ward, was barred after a strong protest was sent to the director of public safety. This ward is composed of two-thirds Negroes. MUSIC IS HELPING TO WIN THE WAR A unique feature of war work is the movement started by Mr. and Mrs. Orlando, Rosland, to secure musical instruments that the present owners are willing to part with for the benefit of the soldiers and sailors who are engaged in the great conflict. The growth of this work has been tremendous, far surpassing the expectations of its starters. Its origin is strikingly told in an article in *Everybody's Magazine*, for October, in the following paragraph: "It all began with such a little thing—a primitive musical instrument—a soldier made from a clair box, a long strip of wood, and one guitar string. When his regiment gave a concert in New York, Corporal Miller played on the 'one-dolin', and in the audience was an artist's wife who marveled at its musical which made real music 'from almost nothing.' The work of securing donations of instruments began soon after, when Corporal Miller and a quartet from the 367th Regiment gave a 'concert to a company assembled at the artist's studio. While the donations were started for the 367th, they have been extended to cover a wide variety of requests from soldiers and sailors in all branches of the service as well as those in hospitals. Secretary Baker has given a letter, making the artist and his wife a unit of people with an introduction for any organization that they have widest facilities for their self-imposed task of equipping the army and navy with musical instruments; as the government furnishes such equipment only to certain bands. Many of the instruments donated are of artistic and historical interest, and in some cases, with the permission of the donors, it has been found more advantageous to dispose of such instruments to collectors and with the proponents of the number of instruments for distribution. Mrs. Rouland told of one colored man in Harlem who had a fine instrument he intended for the 367th, but after seeing the wide scope of the work he said that he was one of those, who did not believe in segregation anyhow, so to give the instrument to any deserving applicant, whether white or colored, he said he would receive any more, send a violin valued at $250, Frances Hart sent the guitar that she played in "The Rose of the Rancho," and it will go to a wounded aviator who dropped a bomb on a submarine. Augustus Thomas, the playwright, sent seven choice instruments. A violin belonging to General Dubarry, one of the musicians, was sent with the request that it be given to the first man blinded in the war, who could play that instrument. Every mail brings letters from the men in the camps and in the hospitals, telling their longing for music and the means to produce it. After the receipt of the instruments, come the letters of thanks for the assistance by the means afforded them of making music to fill the empty hours in camp or hospital or on shipboard. As some of them express it, there are many who read but little, but they all appreciate music. Music cheers up their spirits and helps to sustain that morale so necessary to the well being of the men so far removed from homes and families. Readers of The Age who desire to help along this movement can send any musical instrument available for this purpose to Orlando Rouland, 130 West He will send them to the postage prepay. He will send the givers, if name and address are given on a tag attached. Instruments in need of repair should be sent to Orlando Rouland, care of Charles York, who has 8 East 34th street, New York, who has offered to mend free of charge all instruments donated for this purpose. PLAINFIELD N PLAINFIELD, N. J.-The Plainfield agent of The Aon has received the following letter: Dear Sir: While out of Plaimfield yet I receive my Aca regularly every week. Although some times it is a day or so late, I realize that it is the fault of the mail and not yours.

You told me before I left you that you started with selling five copies of the Tacus and were then selling 190.
