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.

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.

Fowniell, pastor, officiated and many were present to take part in the jubilee. The principal address was made by Dr. J. Edward Mason, while others who took part in the exercise were the Rev. C. S.

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.

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 Captain World was moved, he was soon pleased over the conditions there, and by the colored residents of his family and read the following cable, From General Perkins.

Say, Liberty Bonds to your utmost and help victory here. GENERAL JOHN J. PENTHING. Motion pictures showing colored American trees in France, concluded the evening's entertainment. 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. "The Work on the police commissioner does not say that a good man would work Mr. Sloane, the first in the institution, for a while worked. One woman who failed to go to the work position was discharged. She was arrested yesterday. She will be tried today. LIBERTY LOAN PARADE AT. HAMPTON INSTITUTE (Special to The New York Ack.) HAMPTON, VA.—The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign was launched at Hampton Institute with a unique parade, which included two companies of the Students' Army Training Corps, five companies of Hampton Institute cadets, most of whom will be in the S. A. T. C.; the Hampton girl students, wearing paper hats with Liberty Loan slogs; Hampton workers representing the Woman's Land Army of America, the American Red Cross and other wartime activities; a series of floats showing how the Nation can win the war by feeding the soldiers; and a long line of automobiles decorated with striking Liberty Loan posters and the flags of the Allied nations. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of, Hampton Institute, referred to the Fourth Liberty Loan as "the loan of victory." He said that the good news from the war front, though amplified day by day, and giving hope of a speedy and triumphant ending of the war, should not tempt people to slacken their efforts to make the Fourth Liberty Loan any other than the best it can be. Washington, Hampton's commander of cadets and president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, told of the loyal support which colored people everywhere have given to the Government's program of military service and thrift. DETROIT NEGROES RALLY FOR LOAN (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) DETROIT, MICH. - On Thursday evening, Oct. 3, 15,000 persons gathered at the Liberty Forum, Cadillac Square to listen to a patriotic program rendered under the auspices of the Detroit Urban League, John C. Dancy, Jr., director. White and colored concede this entertainment the finest time ever done by the Negroes of this city. Dr. Ernest Johnson directed a chorus of Detroit best singers in melodies and patriotic airs. The Rev. Robert W. Bagnall and the Rev. Robert L. Braddy were the speakers of the evening and lauded Negro soldiers of the United States that have accomplished in France. It was in their opinion the duty of the colored folk at home to back them up. The speakers received a great applause from the big crowd when they finished their remarks. A quartet, consisting of J. A. Bailey, S. Burrell, F. Waters, and W. E. Jackson, rendered selections. There was also a drill by colored soldiers from Fort Wayne. At the conclusion of the program scores of Negroes bought Liberty Bonds. EVERY FAMILY IN CHURCH HAS A LIBERTY BOND Special to The New York Acu. JUNISE CITY, N. J.-Sunday was Liberty Loan drive day in the city churches and Monumental Baptist Church, of which the Rev. W. S. Smith is pastor, went "over the top." Every family in the congregation has subscribed for a Fourth Liberty Loan Bond and eight hundred dollars' worth were sold at the services Sunday. These were turned over to Deacon Cason, Bouch, who is a loan canvasser. Deacon Thomas Root suggested that the executive board of the church buy a hundred dollar bond and the suggestion was immediately accepted; the bond bought. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Announcement was made Monday that President Wilson had disapproved the sentence of death imposed by a court-martial upon Private Layton Jones, who confessed to having shot and killed Mrs. Rose Harrity of Brooklyn and Private Michael Mahoney at Camp Upton last May. The President's disapproval of his upon his agreement with reports that showed inederer was insane at the time the crime was committed. James, a Negro, for several days after the murder escaped suspicion that he had been concerned in the slaying. He was attached to Company C, 367th Infantry. On May 5 Mrs. Harry, a widow and neighbor of Private Maloney's family, left her home at 94 Fifth and went to Camp Upton to visit Maloney. He was sent to the edge of the reservation when Maloney and James became involved in an altercation. James shot Maloney and turned his rifle upon Mrs. Harry when she endeavored to aid her escort. It is understood that the original court-martial will cause James to be committed to an institution for the insec. P. Pinkney in E. A. Dee, Dr. W.

WAR WORK PLANS FOR WOMEN WORKERS (Second to Ten Your Age) Washington, D. C., is to have a recreation center using for a employed woman the role of the war work council of the National W. Y. C. A. has bought a large lot at aihoe island avenue and P street and the plans are being drawn. They will include rooms for recreation and club work, a gymnasium, swimming pool and cafeteria. One phase of the work will be a rooin registry which will keep in touch with all available rooms and boarding places, in order that housing facilities for girls who come to the city may be adequate. Thousands of colored girls are working in government offices in Washington and will be well as girls in service, will be welcome to make the building their center for out-of-work hour. Miss Elizabeth Carter, director of this work, is one of the best-known colored-women in this country. Miss Carter began her career as a teacher in the Colored Orphanage of Brooklyn, N. Y. From there she was called to a public school in New Bedford, Mass. her home city, where she was the first colored teacher. During the fifteenth years in this school, Miss Carter estab- lished a school through the Woman's Loyal Union Club, which she started, and she was four years president of the National Association of Colored Women.* Detroit, Mich., one of the largest industrial centers in this country, is providing for the colored girls who are coming there by hundreds for government work. Through the generosity of the local Y. W. C. A., which has given one of its largest boarding homes to the project, and of the war work council of the Y. W. C. A., which will farmstalk workers, a residence and recreation center is being opened. Fifty-one girls can be accommodated with rooms. Besides these, the handsome big four-story brick building allows for club and recreation rooms and has a big hall for entertainments and meetings. What the Y. W. C. A.'s is doing for colored girls in Washington, Detroit and many other cities throughout the country, it is also doing for white girls in all the great munition plants and other industrial centers. It is in line with the work which the Y. M. C. A., the National Catholic War Council and Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board and Salvation Army are defending the soldiers, aviators and aviators in this country and France. All the organizations, with the War Camp Community Service and the Mission Army, have combined, at the government's request, in the United War Work Fund Campaign for $120,500,000, the sum needed for the combined budgets for the coming year. WHITES COMPLAIN OF LACK OF NEGRO NURSE (Special to The New York Am.) Rocky Mount, N. C. — The epidemic of Spanish influenza is at its height in Rocky Mount. The whites seemed to be more greatly affected, as the death roll: to date numbers thirty-one, all whites except one. Some of the whites are complaining because the colored women are refusing to nurse their sick and keep their houses clean, even making threats as to what will be done after the war. Negroes always nurse their own sick and bury their own dead and never murmur. Disfranchisement, Jim Crowism, unpaved streets, poor sanitation, lynching and the most cruel discrimination practiced upon Negroes in the South will finally change the old antebellum program. The old-time Negro is passing off and a new Negro is appearing on the scene, who feels his equality and desires to be treated humanely. It is strange, anyhow, that Negroes can cook and nurse white people, and yet Negroes are not good enough to live in those slaves and ride in same cars with these apes and whites. Well, the truth of the matter is the Negro is a little shy of the "flues." MOVE TOWARD TRAINING GIRLS FOR WAR SERVICE (Special to The New York Times) NEWARK, N. J. — The executive board of the New Jersey Federation of Colored Women's Clubs met Wednesday afternoon of last week in the Negro Afire Building, Newark, with Mrs. B.

This action will make possible training of our girls for many branches of war service from which they are now excluded. At the close of the business session Lieut. Bruington of the army addressed the women. The interesting talk yielded much desired information concerning the Negro and army life. Many women prominent in affairs in various sections of the State attended the meeting. The Rev. Florence J. Randolph is president of the federation.

Donald C. Foster of the Sildt Pioneer Regiment, Camp Dife expressing sympathy over the death of her son, Clarence, who died recently of Spanish influenza: H. Q.

I regret very much to have to inform you of a matter of which you have been told already, the death of your son, Private Clarence Jetter of this organization at the base hospital of this camp, at 4:45 a. in October 7, 1918, if and where that little consolation can be offered you at a time like this. The epidemic which caused your son's death has brought sorrow to countless homes, yours among them. You should remember, however, that Private Jetter gave his life for his country just as truly as if he had died upon the battlefield in France. Your son was a good soldier, performing his duties faithfully and uncompromisingly, and his name is to rank as one who gave his life for his country. Let me assure you in closing that the officers and men of Headquarters Company sympathize with you deeply in your sorrow.

The impetuous left jab to the upper jaw is not without effect as a rejoinder, if deftly delivered under proper conditions. But, such violent measures as a shower of bricks through a window, like the pugilistic jab, are open to the objection of leading to a breach of the peace and involving further violence, with police intervention and a prison cell in the offing. Then there is the more dignified and more effective course of isolating the offending party from social or business intercourse, until apology and expiation serve to atone for the insult. These reflections are caused by the incident reported from Harlem in which the proprietor of an amusement house catering exclusively to colored patrons, is charged with making a slurring comment upon the activities of the colored Liberty Loan Workers, in which the obnoxious term "niggers" had to be used. This alleged insult was promptly resented by the persons concerned, and some resort to violent measures was begun by hot-heated sympathizers. But more sober counsel prevailed and the line of protest adopted involved only the shunning of the place from which the insult proceeded. This is the most effective form of protest possible under the circumstances. It entails no provoking of a breach of the peace and it hurts the instigator of the insult in the most vital spot—the pocketbook. But it requires some persistency and finthearted determination to make this treatment felt. There must be no let-up in such cases or the entire moral effect will be lost. There is too much softness and indifference in the disposition of our people to resent insults effectively. A little soft soap and cheap blandishments and the insult is soon forgotten. A stiffer backbone and a less violent but more lasting sense of resentment are needed to ensure HARMER (THE DOLLAR) One of the phases of the process of demobilization which will follow upon the close of the war will be the release of a large number of trained men, who have accepted positions of dignity and responsibility as officers in the army. These men will be adequately equipped by education and experience to fill positions of usefulness and activity in civil life. They will be qualified to handle large bodies of men as executives, to undertake enterprises of large scope and varied nature. In order to afford them opportunities to exercise these functions that have been acquired through the course of war, they must look either to service under governmental or corporation auspices. Thiere will be great competition for this kind of employment owing to the large number of trained men of all races released from military duty. It is therefore necessary for thearsighted 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 last annual meeting, approved and entered upon a constructive policy, which might aid greatly in the development of race enterprises under the direction of the trained men of their disposal. The necessity for race co-operation and the mobilization of small investors into a solid phalanx to finance industrial enterprises is a pressing need of the times. The lesson the people at large are learning in saving and investment of small sums in War Savings Stamps and Liberty Loans should not be without value to the Negro in particular. It has shown the race the power of small sums when gathered into an aggregate mass. It will only be in such manner that the race will be able to assert its constructive ability through its selected instruments. The ability for organization that has hitherto shown its highest development in religious and secret society lines must also be directed into commercial lines. The time is ripe and the means, both in terms of dollars and men, can easily be found. Let a plan be devised to employ both these means in harness, 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 duties 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 requiring 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 recourse to prayer by the churches and public in general to lessen the ravages of the influenza epidemic. On the other hand Dr. Wm. H. Ferris of Philadelphia recommends fresh air, warm clothing, gargling the throat and spraying the nose. The health authorities advise personal 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 Republic, is preparing for a presidential 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 an 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 peculiarity will prove a handicap in the presidential race remains to be seen. VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTENTING ENGINEER THE NEW REBELLION IN MISSISSIPPI. The Jackson (Miss.) Daily News in a recent issue contained the editorial which is reproduced below. We reproduce this editorial in full for two reasons: first, it shows that as thick as is the skin of the bigoted Negro hater, it is not so thick that the truth can't get under it; second, it is such a fair sample of the delirious state of mind into which the average Southerner is thrown when confronted by the question of equal citizenship rights for the Negro. Here is the editorial: OUR SENATORS CRITICISED A Negro newspaper edited in New York has a actor John Sharp Williams and James K. Vardaman. This sheet is fighting for equal social and poli cks. A Negro newspaper edited in New York has a savage attack upon Senator John Sharp Williams and James K. Vardaman in a current issue. This sheet is fighting for equal social and political rights for the blacks. It is packed full of sedition every issue. Its attack upon the two Mississippiians was brought about because of their recent utterances upon the enfranchisement of Negro women. Its attack upon the two Mississippiians was brought in recent utterances upon the enfranchisement of The South will not stand for this step, and as a sick and bloody days following the Civil War, there is bloodier, if the negrophile element of the East in tolerable conditions upon the South. Perhaps this is no time for a discussion of such events are taking place, and there are suggestive in the South will have to fight for its life at 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 bloodier, if the negrophile element of the East insists upon imposing intolerable conditions upon the South. Perhaps this is no time for a discussion of such things, but momen tous events are taking place, and there are suggestions that white supremacy in the South will have to fight for its life after this war. If it does, Southern millions will rise to aid it. The world may just as well understand now as later that white supremacy 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 efforts to better their conditions. It believes firmly in educating Negro 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 to them in all dealings. But no man save he be utterly foolish thinks the South will ever stand for social and political equality of the Negroes, even if this section were to give up every life in it to prevent such an unthinkable condition. Of 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 same 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 sentiments of the editor of the Jackson News are not the sentiments 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 oppressed by a high brow mob 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 enfranchisement of colored women) and as surely as there were dark and bloody days following the Civil War, there will be more, darker and bloodier, if the Negrophile element in the East insists upon imposing intolerable conditions on the South," he is not only inciting to riot, he is talking absolute rebellion. If 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, supposed 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 conditions on the South. - Of course, this editor is not in jail. Undoubtedly he has received a number of congratulations 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; he feels that he has not only done something to save the great State of Mississippi and the Anglo-Saxon race as well, but that he has also written a strong editorial. Perhaps around Jackson and throughout Mississippi he does enjoy a reputation as an editorial writer, but we should like to say to him frankly, and we are willing to place our opinion before any impartial 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? The criticism of the two Mississippi senators did not contain a single word of abuse; it was simply an analysis of their words and motives. Why does this Jacksonian editor get mad and lose his head? Why; instead of replying with facts and figures, with sense and reason, does he talk about riot and rebellion and bloodshed and murder? The answer is plain: he hasn't got the brains, he doesn't dare to try it, the job is beyond him. Now let us give the editor of the Jackson News a lesson in editorial writing; we have no idea that he will take it, but we do it to prove that we are willing even to help him make a better showing in any future articles he may write on this subject. Take the following paragraph from his article: The world may just as well understand now as later that white supremacy is absolutely necessary in this section of the country. Its only alternative is black supremacy, and that would be a catastrophe beyond words. We won't get mad and call him names because we do not agree with what he says, nor will we call upon the black people of Mississippi to rise up and murder white people. Instead we will use common sense and reason to point out where his statement is weak and false. What reason is there to say that black supremacy in the South is the only alternative for white supremacy? Can any man believe that government in the South is not possible unless the whites hold the blacks down in subjection; or on the other hand, unless the blacks hold the whites down in subjection? In this day when the face of the whole world is turned toward the new democracy, is it not more reasonable to think that; even in the South, each individual may enjoy all of the common rights of citizenship without danger to any other individual? The statement 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 power in order to hold the white people down in subjection; they are seeking only participation in the common democracy. 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 intrinsic 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 given justice and equal opportunity, would wrest economic, political and social supremacy 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 attitude base, and makes his words calling for bloodshed and murder nothing less than criminal. 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. TACTLESSNESS OF THE POLICE The Sunday papers heralded a "race riot" in Brooklyn; and the news goes all over 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 became 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. 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 indiscriminately. 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 entirely 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 into his body. This was unnecessary, brutal and cruel. What is really needed 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 impossible 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 the crowd would have mottled of its own accord, and there would have been no such lamentable happening as did occur. THE TRAP THAT FAILED. From Popular Mechanics Magazine. 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? Do you even know anyone who thinks he has actually seen one? I have personally made this inquiry in the South, in New England, on the Pacific Coast, and here at home in the central West, and have arrived at the firm conviction, "There ain't no such animal" as a pro-German American colored man. When the big war started and Bernstoff let loose his long and carefully prepared plans of arson, bombs, strikes and general confusion in this country, one of the most dastardly schemes on which his boss depended, was an uprising of the nine million colored people in the South. The effort was well organized, bountifully supplied with money, was operated with great secrecy, and at first was carried on outside the larger southern cities. All sorts of impossible rewards were promised; the blacks were to own and rule the South; every sort of poison lie was used to tempt the colored people 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. quent part of a Northern general's report of a battle that "the colored troops fought bravely" The reports which are reaching us of the colored troops in France include more than "fought bravely"—they fight magnificently. A letter from an officer describing such a regiment going "over the top" is a picture worth painting. Bareheaded, shirts unbuttoned os, no shirts at all, with the most unearthly yells, as demons let loose, they went at the enemy like a cage of wild lions released. These boys from the cotton and cane fields like best to fight with the bayonet, which Fritz enjoys feast of all, but in hand-to-hand combat they fall back on their trusty razor or knife, in the use of which they are more than proficient. The staunchest Hun is said to quail and run before one of these dusky giants bent on carving a map of Florida on a f German face, or a delta of the Mississippi on his throat.

C—A few days ago there was some excitement in the city of Beaufort, caused by the coming Gypsy Smith, Jr., of New York. The white ministers and their congregations invited the evangelist to come and conduct a three weeks' religious camp for the purpose of saving souls; a large tent was secured and erected in vacant lot, and the necessary arrangements were made for the beginning of the meeting. But one feature of the arrangement seemed to the minister be rather a problem, and that was to arrange matters so that the color people could hear the great evangelist. Consequently the colored pastors Beaufort were requested to meet white pastors at the colored high school building. This council of the minister of the two races lasted about an hour and some plain facts were stated in some of the colored brethren, who most likely, were a surprise to the white brethren. They stated that they had invited Smith to Beaufort and that they were all, classes, as far as possible, to be him, and receive some of the benefit of his ministry. They further, that the necessary fund to defray expenses had been arranged for, said they, "we live in the South, and all know and understand conditions the South. Some white evangelists conducting their campaigns, preach the colored people, but they do it the following circumstances: First, some cases, the colored people are allowed to attend all the services, be line is drawn from the pulpit to main entrance, and the colored are given one side and the white of the other. Second, in other cases, colored people are given a service to themselves, which may be one in each week or on Sunday after Third, and, still on other cases, evangelists sometimes conduct service at an early hour for the white and at a later hour for the colored people." After stating these plans, the spain for the white brethren asked colored ministers which of these pla did they think would work best in befort. And they were told that Beafon was a "punctual town." Condition isisted here that perhaps did not anywhere else in the South. They were told that the Negroes of Beafon and utterly abbreved everything looked like "jim crowism," whether he in gospel tents, churches, these waiting rooms, railway trains, trucks, or steam boats. A statement this, coming from the colored people seemed to have thrown cold water the meeting, and the white brethren they would talk the matter over Mr. Smith when he came, and let the colored brethren know. A few days after this conference Smith came, began his meeting preached one week. Just about the time the Spanish influenza struck city and the health authorities ordered all churches, tents, lodges and schools closed. Mr. Smith held his final series closed up and left. He was gone before the Negroes knew it. They never in the privilege of hearing the disguised evangelist from New York to the writer must say, to Mr. Smith honor and credit, that he desired a preach to the colored people, but under any "jim crow" arrangement, so expressed himself in a privateversation with some of the leading ored men of Beaufort. But what the colored people of Boston said did and, perhaps, the colored people of any other Southern city you have done. It is a fact which is too much to be regretted that the colored people in the South are gradually faith in the white man's religion. The Negro is thinking—education or education—and is learning the art comparison. He cannot reconcile white man's profession of Christian and his treatment of the race. How it, he asks, that the white man can be to such a Christian and keeps up the barbarous custom of lynching and burning of Negroes? In addition to the "jiim crow" him at every point even at their religious gatherings and disfranchise him at the polls. The groes feel that the white minister of the South endorse all this treatment hence they are not at all anxious to be them preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If they were sincere in their prescriptions of discipleship of Jesus, the colored people think that these minor of Christ ought to possess more of the spirit of Christ, and endeavor to cheer sentiment and customs in the South not condone them. The writer he heard colored people say, again again, that they did not care to be white man preach, because they have confidence in the religion of the white folks. This being the case, it is not surprising to find that the colored people Beaufort and Beaufort County have allowed this feelin' to enter into the business relations. They prefer, every line, to do business with the men of their own race and color. As these are 20,000 Negroes in the town of county, and only 5,000 whites, any can easily see how well the colored business man fares. He gets a liberal promotion from the members of his race. The doctors, the dentists, the butcher and the merchants all do a good business. A large number of Jews are Beaufort, and on the islands around and they also do a good business among the Negroes. Several of them cater this trade. by employing colored clerks and they get a large portion of it. The writer presumes that, to some extent, the same condition obtains the --- Two dollars a week will buy a Liberty Bond! Anybody can buy Liberty Bonds on the weekly payment plan. It's easy.

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.
