ENTERTAINED AT HOME OF THE FRENCH PRESIDENT The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. VOL. XXXII. NO. 5. Mrs. Hunton and Miss Johnson Guests at Reception. HELPING OUR SOLDIERS Miss Kathryn Johnson Writes from France and Tells of What Colored Women Y. M. C. A. Workers are Doing for Our Boys "Over There." Women Doing What They Can to Reach the Soul of Soldiers—Miss Johnson Tells of Air Raids in Paris and of Bombardment by Giant Krupp Gun—Attend World's Conference of Allied Women War Workers. Guests at a reception given at the home of President and Mrs. Poincare of France, visitors at the home of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., on the Bois de Boulogne, and guests at a banquet given at the Hotel Palais d'Orsay, are some of the social activities enjoyed by Miss Kathryn M. Johnson and Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, who sailed for France some months ago as Y. M. Information as to the movements of two Y. M. C. A. workers in France is interestingly told by Miss Johnson in a letter to Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age. That thousands of colored soldiers from the United States took part in the great July offensive in France and played an active part in putting the Hun to rout is also gleaned from the letter, which follows: "It now has been over two months since I left New York City, but not until the present moment have I felt that I was well enough settled in my work to write my friends fully concerning it. In the first place, after our arrival in Paris on June 21, we were detained ten days, during which time we were attending conferences, receiving physical examinations and getting instructions and appointments. Then I was sent to a quaint old town of 90,000 inhabitants, about one hundred miles from the English coast, where I only remained a week. There were no colored secretaries there, only a colored chaplain, and it seems as if I was sent there by mistake. There were quite a large number of colored soldiers there, however, and they were very sorry to see me leave. I gladly would have stayed with them and worked with the chaplain, because there was plenty to be done. July Offensive Changes Plans. I was ordered back to Paris, where I received information that Dr. Berton, president of the University of Vermont, wanted me with about 20,000 colored men at the front. I had made every preparation to leave when a telegram came that the July offensive had started and I could not get there, so that caused me to remain in Paris another ten days, after which they decided to send me to the base section where Mrs. Hunton was already located, and where, because of her, I was delighted to come. There are three colored Y. M. C. A. host here and about 20,000 colored men. Mrs. Hunton and I work at different bats but room at the same house and have our days off together, so that it is not so lonesome for us. Mrs. Hunton has been able to develop a real wet canteen, and sells quantities of hot chocolate, lemonade, etc.; to the men. Naturally interested in educational work and knowing that there were many literates among the men, I began teaching them to read and write; and now the work has grown so that I have little time for anything else. We are much in need of an educational secretary, a man who can get down into the camp among the men and do many things that a woman cannot do. I found many men who could not count their own money or transact their own business. So I have many men new studying arithmetic. Meanwhile, my secretary is now in favor of fitting a kitchen so that we can serve hot drinks. French women are employed to do the work. We only supervise. In addition to other things I am writing letters about allotments, sending delegates for the men who have not hard from their people, sending money the home folks; hearing their heart rates of love and sorrow and offering isolation and advice Of course, the real work for which I am working is only a small part which the as rapid but they are quite as effective and the results are the same. There are no more canteen workers over here now. All are Y. M. C. A. secretaries, and the women are given full permission to do the thing that they can do best. 'Witnessed Paris Air Raids. "I was in Paris during six night air raids and one daylight raid. On one night the bombardment was terrific, and a bomb was dropped just two blocks from the hotel where we stopped. Several people were killed and next morning the buildings, in the block where the bomb was dropped looked as if they never had had a window in them. "During my second visit to Paris the great German Krupp gun, bombarded the city for two days, and the roaring of the cannon at the point could be plainly heard. "Mrs. Hunton and I went up and attended the world's conference of Allied Women War Workers, held in Paris in August. It was a wonderfully inspiring conference, and we had the opportunity of visiting the home of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. on the Bois de Bologne, attending a banquet at the Hotel Palais d'Orsay and a reception at the home of President and Mrs. Poncare. Of course, both of us appreciated these privileges very much. "To tell you more about the conference and our experiences here would take much time and much energy to write; so I must close as it is past mid-night." A LIEUTENANT COLONEL IN THE REGULAR ARMY (Special to The New York Times) Washington, D.C. The colored man now holding the highest rank in the Regular Army is Liceutenant-Colonel Benjamin Oliver Davis, a native of Washington, D. C., stationed with the 9th Cavalry in the Philippines. He has seen service in Mexico and a number of points in this country and won distinction as military attache of the United States in Liberia. He was in the Spanish-American war and won his way up from the ranks through sheer merit. TWO MORE CHAPLAINS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Rev. M. W. Clair, Jr., and the Rev. R. A. Green, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, have been appointed as chaplains in the United States Army, with the rank of first lieutenant. There are now fifty colored chaplains in the military establishment of the nation in this country and overseas. RED CAPS AT GRAND CENTRAL SUBSCRIBE CENTRAL SUBSCRIBE $20,000 The red caps at the Grand Central Terminal "went over the top" in the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive by subscribing $20,000, some buying as much as $500 worth of bonds. There are 110 men employed as red caps at the Grand Central. Three weeks ago Chief Williams and his co-workers contributed $111 to Haywood Unit No. 14 to help further the organization's canteen work SAYS CANTEEN NO. 5 IS STUIL IN EXISTE Announcement was made by J. Rosamond Johnson, the new director of Canteen No. 5, conducted at the Music School Settlement, 4 and 6 West 131st street, that the canteen is very much in existence and still trying to make it pleasant for soldiers and sailors who visit Harlem. This statement has been given out by Mr. Johnson on account of a rumor put in circulation that the canteen had been closed. Mr. Johnson charges that this report was put out by M.E. C. Goode, the former director of the canteen. "Canteen No. 5 is conducted under the auspices of the Mayer's Committee of Women's National Defeng, Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, chairman, and all volunteer workers are asked to cooperate in the future as in the past." Mr. Johnson stated to an Age representative. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST BUYS 7TH AVENUE SITE Last week the colored population made another inroad on the residential section of West Harlem by the purchase of the old New York Presbyterian Church, occupying a plot 100 by 100 on the northeast corner of 128th street and Seventh avenue. The church property was taken over a couple of years ago by the New York Presbytery and has been on the market for many months at $100,000. The Metropolitan Baptist Church which now occupies SOCIETY DAMES PURCHASE OVER HAVE 2 CLUBS ONE MILLION AMERICAN NEGRO SAID TO BE RUSSIAN CABINET MINISTER The statement that an American Negro is a Cabinet Minister under the present Bolsheviki regime in Russia is made by a writer in the current issue of The World's Work. Brooklyn Women Now Have Two Rival "Big Sister" Organizations. SECEDES FROM URBAN LEAGUE Organization Under Mrs. W. F. Trotman Wanted to Do "Big Sister" Work Independently—New Club Formed Under Auspices of League With Mrs. Edwin F. Horne as President. Two rival Big Sister organizations, one under the leadership of Mrs. W. F. Trotman, and the other under Mrs. Edwin F. Horne is the chief theme for conversation among the society dames of Brooklyn. Until a short time ago the Colored Big Sister Club in Brooklyn was connected with the Brooklyn Urban League. It had been organized by Mrs. Trotman, then a member of the executive board of the league. Later it seems the "Big Sisters" decided to widen the scope of their work and serve the community as an independent organization According to Mrs. Trotman, a decision was unanimously reached to withdraw from the Urban League, which was notified of the "Big Sisters'" intentions. Mrs. Trotman says this plan was not looked upon with favor by the league officials and some ill feeling cropped up. Later she resigned from the board. In September Mrs. Horne, who was previously associated with Mrs. Trotnan in the old club, is said to have headed a club sponsored by the Urban League. Mrs. Trotnan asserts that Mrs. Horne and Mrs. J. H. Waddell are the only old members who have become identified with the new organization The old "Bug Sister" Club is composed of Mrs W. F. Trotnan, president; Mrs E. V. Mars, vice-chairman; Mrs Kate Dickerson, secretary; Mrs Frank H. Gilbert, treasurer; Mrs T. J. Burge, Mrs. Richard Burnie, Mrs M. S. Dorsey, Mrs. Charles-Gassaway, Mrs Maritcha R. Lyons, Mrs T. M. King, Mrs Lizae Comither, Mrs H. Proctor, Mrs Frazier Miller, Mrs Fred R. Moore, Mrs Charles Lansing, Dr. V Morton-Jones, Dr. Isabelle Granger, Mrs Thomas Shepard and Mrs. John Stockett. League Gives Out Statement. The Brooklyn branch of the Urban League this week gave out the following statement relative to what its "Big Sister" Club is doing: "On Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 18, Mrs. Philip A. Brennan was hostess at her house, 400 Washington avenue, at a tea given to the members of the Big Sister committees of the Brooklyn Juvenile Problation Society, and the Big Sister Committee of the Brooklyn Urban League. Miss Gertrude Grasse, the secretary, presided, and Judge Robert J. Wilkin, the president, made a short talk, and urged those present to give extra care to the girls. He said, 'It is easy enough to commit a delinquent child to an institution, but that is not what they need; they need you, you personally.' A notable feature of the work of the league's 'Big Sisters' is their decision (Continued on Page Two) In discussing the subject—"The Bolshevik, Who They Are and What They Believe," the writer, described in the magazine as "a New York business man" says. "I made my way to Room 77, the Foreign Office. There was a great palace going on. What was being said was not half so interesting as how it was being said. These officials conversed almost exclusively in English and German. They were not Russians. They were Jews. They did not talk Russian—they talked Bowyer. "While waiting my turn with the secretary, in paraded an unmistakable character—an American Negro. Abandoning all business and decorum the functionary sprang from his seat and yelled, "What can we do for you?" Harlem Precinct Makes Fine Showing In Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign. Women Workers Presented With Boxes of Fine Linen Handkerchiefs by Colored Liquor Dealers Association for Rendering Valuable Services During the Big Drive. More than $1,100,000 of Fourth Liberty Honds were subscribed in the big drive conducted by the MRS. THERESA L. ROSE Liberty Loan Committee of the 58th Precinct, with headquarters at 2280 Seventh avenue. Of this amount over $350,000 was subscribed by Negroes. The big draw in Harlem ended Saturday evening with a parade of motor trucks and a thorough canvass of the precinct by a bevy of pretty girls from headquarters. More than $40,000 in Liberty Bonds were sold on the last evening of the most successful campaign ever held in the Harlem District. The K C. McPherson truck reported over $20,000 in sales during the drive, while Mrs Theresa L. Rose secured the largest number of subscriptions of any of the women workers. She led with $53,000. Miss Adela Mitchell came next with $17,850. Little Vivian Harris was a good third with $15,200. Other women workers whose activities aided in a large measure to the excellent showing made by the colored people were Miss Ruby Mason, Nellie Perkins, A Brooks, Bradford, Anna Johnson, Vola Belt, August Hernandez, Dorothy Hernandez, Breatier Beardon, Estelle Logan, Estelle Hunter, Daisy Jefferson, Mark Harksdale, Pearl Grayson, A.

He was delighted, and assu- mine command agreed to shove things through for me. "What Ministry do you belong to," said I. He grinned "To all the min- stries.

This committee was the exe- cutive and autocratic head of Smolny Go- vernment and was superior to all minis- ters and all cabinets. It was the mviolate and ultimate authority.

Johnny' would have made an excellent Society member." NEW YORK'S COLORED REGIMENT SEES "BIG SCRAPPING" IN FRANCE SAYS WAR CORRESPONDENT (Special to The New York Am.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—The seasoned 10th United States Cavalry has been doing some effective work repulsing Mexican oppressions on our border in the Southwest. PREFER FACTORY TO DOMESTIC WORK. WASHINGTON, D. C.-Colored women in the South are seeking new forms of work, displacing men as bootblacks, in barber shops, and in elevators, according to recent reports to the United States Embassy Service. In many sections there exists a shortage of domestics and a large oversupply of applicants for factory positions. Sections near the Mexican border are able to meet the demand for domestics in many cases by employing Mexican women accompanying their husbands, coming to this country for war work. BAPTISTS TO DISCUSS REUNION DECEMBER 12 (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA.) Jersey City, N. J.—The Rev. R. C. Judkins, pastor of Salem, Baptist Church and one of the strongest peace advocates in the Baptist Church has been reliably informed that the new Peace Commission, representing the two National Baptist Conventions and the white Southern Baptist Convention, will be called to meet in First Baptist Church (white), Nashville, Tenn., Thursday, December 12, 1918, at 10 a.m. The call soon will be issued by the Rev O.

Throughout the country scores of State conventions and District associations will meet between now and the time for the new Peace Commission in December, according to the Rev. Dr Judkins and at every convention and association resolutions can be passed endorsing the Peace and Reunion movement and asking the members of the Peace Commission to do all in their power to arrange for union of the denomination. STAR MARCHER IN SERVICE FLAG PARADE Special to The New York Age ATLANTA, GA. In Atlanta's great Service Flag parade, composed of white and colored divisions, the star marches, whose picture was featured in the paper's next day, was an old colored man named Isaac Sims. Though 78 years old he marched along, his service flag with its eleven stars in two installations, one each shoulder. Three of his stars in France, and eight more in the Framing camp. Three others registered September 12, and wilt their call COMMANDER 93D DIV. COMMENDS OUR FIGHTERS (Washington, D.C.-General Roy C. Hoffman, who went to France as the commander of the 93rd Division, made up of colored troops, is back to this country. He lands the men of his command in the highest terms, and says the world has never seen better fighting men. He takes pride in describing the encounter of Neoclellan Roberts and Harry Johnson with the Boches and how these brave lads put the Huns to inglorious flight and won the French Cruix de Guerre. Gen. Hoffman says our boys are doing finely over there and that they are esteemed in the warmest measure by the French people of all classes. Gen. Hoffman says any officer should be proud to command the type of men who made up the 93rd Division, and he is anxious to have some more of the same kind. CORRESPONDENTS will please have their matter in The Age office by Tuesday of each week. The old 8th Illinois has not had a chance at big scrapping on the same scale as the old 15th from New York, according to the New York Evening Sun correspondent, who, in writing about the colored American doughboys says: "Negro troops from America already have established themselves in Europe as being cool and reliable fighters in the front line. Both American and French commands so testify, and if the enemy ever discovered who it was that held part of the line through Argonne Forest when the Boches failed to get through some time ago, the German command has a decidedly high respect for American Negro infantry. "Up and down the line, after the test of a year's service, you hear no doubts expressed. The darky doughboys have made good in the line as well as behind. They have proved themselves cool and brave soldiers in the trenches, and gentlemanly when back at rest in French towns. You are continually running into units of these colored chaps as you travel up and down the line from Switzerland to Flanders. "Down in a little town, some miles back of Verdun, a large unit of these troops, all from Chicago or thereabouts, have been stationed. They had come back to rest, after a long period in the Argonne Forest trenches. Like CIRCLE SENDS, SMOKER AND CANDY OVERSEAS The Circle for Negro War Relief week sent through Wanamaker boxes of candy and "smoker" to the boys in France. The Circle contemplates adding additional boxes containing things to colored soldiers in the future. The work of forwarding "smokes," candy, etc. to France is under the direction of Mrs. V. M. Bower the new executive secretary of the Circle, 489 Fifth avenue. EXTRA WILL NOT DRAW LINE ON COLORED STUDENTS (Special to The New York Am) Columbus, Ohio—An attack was made by civilian regional detectors of the Committee on Elections. New York, they had made a hit with the French officers in high command of the sector. Unlike the New York Negroes, these Chicago boys had encountered no big fighting, and they were disappointed at being taken from the trenches before being given a real chance to show what they could do. The French Like Them. "The French officers explained that good soldiers can be recognized just as well when they are holding the fines as when they are fighting, but the darky doughboys were still disappointed. Finally the French general came down to review the Negro outfit. Down by the creek they went through some snappy exercises and the French general was delighted. When the review as it had been planned was finished the general turned to the American colonel. "If I were an American general what would I do now," asked the Frenchman, "Most anything," replied the colonel. "These boys will do anything you wish." "Well, suppose the Germans were across the creek," replied the general. "I'd like to have this nearest company attack them." "The captain of the nearest company was given the order, and he matched his men across the meadow, where the suddenly disappeared. Pretty soon a whistle sounded, and the company was up and running toward the creek. Only a minute, and then they dropped, waiting, then running, always skirmishing in the latest approved French fashion. "After a lot of think movement to a couple of platoons, the supposed German positions along the creek were stormed and taken. The French general was delighted. Finally he said, 'My oldest veterans could do it no better, even if they were warned it was on the program, and your boys did that extemporaneously.' The general remembered the review, and a few days later these colored chaps from Chicago received a one letter from him, congratulating them on their spirit de corps and their work. "It was interesting to see how these colored boys pitched with the French inhabitants of the village with whom the Americans were billeted. The French fell like them and felt highly pleased at the way they learned French. They, interesting extremely fluent, and it fits entirely with their scheme of pilings to use all French forms of politeness." NEARLY 400,000 NEGROES IN KHAKI Special to TWN New York Age. WASHINGTON, D. C.-Conservative estimates place the number of colored soldiers now in the United States Army. --- CIRCLE SENDS SMOKING AND CANDY OVERSEAS The Circle for Negro War Relief week sent through Wanaamaker, boxes of candy and "smokes" to the boys of France. The Circle, contemplates sending additional boxes, containing things to colored soldiers in the future. The work of, forward "smokes," candy, etc., to France is under the direction of Mrs. V. M. Bower the new executive secretary of the Circle, 489 Fifth avenue. EXTRA WILL NOT DRAW LINE ON COLORED STUDENTS has charge of the Student Army Training Corps' program of the War Department to draw the color line in connection with certain colored students who are attending Northern institutions of learning. This matter was brought to the attention of the War Department by some twenty or more colored students of Ohio who have been attending Ohio State University, Oberlin College the Case School of Applied Sciences and other institutions of that character. The War Department quite promptly put its foot down upon this program of some of its regional directors. Telegrams have been received by the commanding officers of the Student Army Trainee Corps her at Columbus and it is assumed by your correspondent, by the commanding officers of other Corps of the Student Army Training Corps throughout the North reading as follows: No color line will be drawn in inducting men into Section "A." Colored men eligible for induction will be inducted at institutions which they attend and will not be required to transfer to other institutions. Such problems as usually arise in connection with the attendance of colored students at Northern institutions will be settled by the college authorities, the War Department, returning to be a party to a program which will introduce the color line into those schools where it does not at present obtain. At the same time the War Department is not seeking to break down the color line in any institution where it obtains. EXTENSION TRUCK SENT WASHINGTON, D.C. The "Knapp Agricultural Truck" named in honor of the late Dr. Spaman A. Knapp of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, D.C., will visit many thickly settled communities successible by railroads, for the purpose of teaching Negro farmers agriculture and home economies by actual demonstrations on their farms and in their homes, also to prove to them that they can do better work, make more produce on smaller acreage, and at less expense. Fourteen years ago Dr. B. T. Washington conceived the idea of fitting up a wagon known as "The lessup Agricultural Wagon"; the School on Wheels. This conto operated exclusively in Macon County, drawn by mules, and was very successful "The Knapp Truck", an extension of the Booker Washington idea, has been motorized and will be fully equipped with the necessary implements for conducting "Moveable Schools" and many other forms of agricultural extension work now being conducted under license. WILL BE SLOW TO DISBAND Prof. John Erskine of Army Educational Commission Back from France and Tells About Our Boys in Khaki-Thinking of Readjustment in United States After World War. After peace is declared the work of demobilization will be slow, according to John Erskine, professor of English at Columbia University, and now chairman of the Army Educational Commission, who is here from France. "Demobilization will take at least a year and a half after peace is declared." Dr. Erskine said Monday at Y. M. C. A. headquarters, 347 Madison avenue. "We shall not begin to bring our armies home till peace is declared, and they will be brought back much more slowly than they are being sent. Also as long as there are disturbances in Austria anywhere we must sit there and watch. Uncle Sam intends that the men who wait and watch shall put in the time preparing to take their places in civil life over here. "The soldiers are thinking more and more soberly. They hear of the changes and readjustments in the United States and they get real blue wondering what their part will be when they get home. "This shows in the books that soldiers write for to the mail order and sales branch of the Y. M. C. A. department of books in Paris. In one week we were asked for books on complete book-keeping, plane and solid geometry, drug gardening, shorthand, bridge building, plane and spherical trigonometry, architectural gardening, forestry and algebra, Greek grammars, electrical hand books and copy books for penmanship."

C.—Colored Washington is on the top in great shape for the Fourth Liberty Loan, outdoing all previous financial records since the beginning of the war. In the executive departments, churches, clubs, fraternities, our men and women subscribed liberally and the individual vestors are uncountable. The largest single subscription was handled through the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, of which Lawyer Armond W. Scott is grand exalted ruler.

Rucker was placed in charge of the work among our people, and the letter below from Forrest Adair, Chairman of the Atlanta Liberty Loan Campaign Committee, indicates how well Col. Rucker and others working with him, succeeded in interest the race to do full duty by the government. "My dear Rucker: I want to express to you my deep appreciation of the splendid work you have done in handling the colored committees, and through you I want to thank the colored citizens of Atlanta for the magnificent manner in which they have stood up to their Government by subscribing to the Fourth Liberty Loan."

C.-Dr. Robert F Plummer, one of our successful drug-gists, is receiving the congratulations of his wife upon the promotion of his son, Dr. F. Virgil Plummer, from the ranks to he a lieutenant Detail to practise his profession of medicine. It appears that the young soldier was called upon while acting as a corporal at Camp Grant, Illinois, to diagnose a case and did it so satisfactorily as to attract the attention of the commanding officer, who recommended his promotion. 15TH NEW YORK REGT UNDER FIRE 129 DAYS (Included by New Keep Away) (appointed to New York Army) OMAHA, Neb.-In a letter written to his former law partner, Wm. H Pitzer of Nebraska City, and printed in the Omaha Bee, Col. William Hayward has the following to say about the old Fifteenth New York Regiment, now the 390th Infantry: "Well, we are at rest. A few days ago a tired, ragged, lousy, battle-scarred regiment trudged out of a sector after being under fire every day for 129 days after being through the greatest battle in the world's history and after holding what was at one time (14 months after the United States declared war on Germany), one-fifth of all the ground the whole American army was holding when that army had about ten times as many commissioned officers in France as we had enlisted men. "The French generals, from General Gouraud down, say that we did our work as well as the veteran French infantry regiments on either side of us. We captured prisoners, including a German officer, and lost none of them. We killed many of them in their trenches and inside our own lines. We were never driven from our front trenches although assaulted repeatedly. "No Man's Land" soon became the 15th N. Y. land after we took over each of the sectors we held, the last one being the most active and dangerous sector from Switzerland to the channel, so the French tell us "On total killed and captured we are away ahead of the Boche—maybe 100. And we did what we were given to do with a mumum of losses. "Many acts of individual bravery stand out conspicuously, even in this gallant army of French heroes and veterans. At least thirty Croix de Guerres have been awarded officers and men (subject to approval of A. E. F., H. Q.). On the other hand we had, as I presume every regiment must have, some men whose conduct in line and out was not at all creditable. But they couldn't all be heroes on $30 a month, could they?"

The response of the Negro to the call to put his hard earned dollars at the service of his country has been as ready and willing as was his response to the call to the colors. Men, women and children have contributed to the raising of the money for the Fourth Liberty Loan by tongue, pen and deed. The actual sums of money raised among our people have averaged high as compared to their earning capacity. This campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan was largely of an educative nature and the results should remain of permanent value. Not only were the sentiments of patriotism and duty to country inculcated and stimulated by the arguments put forth, but the principles of true Americanism were expounded and responded to with hearty alacrity. Then the ideas of economy and systematic saving were driven deep into the minds of the people, in a way that would bring forth fruits in the line of sound investments hereafter. But a more important result of this response of the race to the call of the government is the fact that it should establish beyond cavil or dispute, the status of the Negro as a full fledged American citizen, entitled to all the rights and fulfilling all the duties of citizenship. It is up to the American people and their representatives in office to recognize this fact and put that recognition into active voice. A man who is called upon to give his life and his money to uphold a government is certainly entitled to the protection of that government for his life, liberty and property, as well as such protection for his family and dependents. The American sense of fair play cannot deny that man or his race an equal opportunity in the race of life without stultifying itself. The reign of true democracy is due at home as well as abroad, if words mean anything. NEED FOR NURSES IN FRANCE. The pressing need for more trained nurses in France is convincingly set forth in a statement made by Mrs. M. Barnett McComb, one of the first women sent to France by the American Red Cross in the capacity of nurses' aid. She was reported as follows, last week, speaking to a local reporter: So urgent is the need for trained nurses in France that nurses' aids, just two weeks overseas, have been given the management of entire wards in French hospitals, to release the ward nurses for use in the operating rooms. And yet, despite this scarcity of and the services (custody) assignment do not seem to be able to arrive at a plan by which the services of the colored nurses may be utilized to meet this emergency. Assurances have been given by those in authority that the discrimination against colored nurses would be removed and their services accepted. But no conclusive action denoting a change of heart can yet be recorded. The real cause of this disinelination to accord full and free recognition to the trained nurses of the Negro race still remains somewhat of a mystery. Undoubtedly powerful, if obscure, forces have silently worked against the fulfillment of the promises that fair treatment should be given the women of the race. These forces should be brought to the light, so that the public may know the reason why the work of so beneficent a nature as that of the Red Cross should be hampered and neglected, in order to gratify the personal prejudices of certain individuals. Turn on the light and show why the urgent need for nurses overseas is denied! Now that the campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan has been closed, it behooves the registered voters, men and women, to turn their attention to the political campaign. They should vote for Republican candidates for Congress in the various districts, who will support the war to a successful issue. The Republican State ticket in New York deserves the support of all our voters on the record of its accomplishments. Every Republican voter in the districts where Messrs. Johnson and Hawkins are running for the Assembly should not fail to cast a vote for them. An incident showing how war revises prejudices was reported by two colored lieutenants home from France on leave, in the St. Louis Clarion. Marine corps officers who had refused to eat at the same mess were fighting side by side, with them. Later in the battle it was their privilege to carry one of these wounded officers out of the range of bullets and give him water out of their canteens. At the time he was glad to sip from the same canteen that they drank from, but would he be willing to eat at mess with them on the next occasion? Or, to be consistent, should he not have refused the water? But there is no consistency about color prejudice, anyhow. Mrs. W. L. Presto is a candidate for State Senator in the State of Washington, upon a platform embracing many advanced principles of government. Her candidacy has been endorsed by several organizations, including the Women's State Federation Mrs. Presto sends her hearty congratulations to Mr. E. A. Johnson and Mr. J. C Hawkins, upon their nomination for the New York State Assembly. She concludes her letter: "I hope in the future we will see the light behind the cloud, waiting to shine upon this race of ours, when they are ready to receive its rays." More strength to Mrs. Presto's candidacy. May her name be auspicious of her assumption of the senatorial toga! The recent consecration of Archdeacon Demby as suffragan bishop of the Episcopal Church, for the diocese of Arkansas, marks the culmination of a struggle for race representation that has persisted for over a quarter century. While this church has consecrated priests of the colored race to the office of bishop before, it has been for missionary service in other countries, as in the case of Bishop Holly in Haiti and Bishop Ferguson in Liberia. Another elevation to the bishopric in this church is due in a short time in the person of Archdeacon Delaney of North Carolina. There has come to our hand a copy of a speech that was recently made by the Honorable William J. Harris, who is candidate for the United States Senate from the State of Georgia. Mr. Harris spoke to an audience of citizens of Gwinnett County in the court house at Lawrenceville. The report of his speech says that he was given "a respectful and attentive hearing" and that he spoke for about two hours and fifteen minutes. A speaker should feel complimented on any kind of a hearing that he gets for a two hour and fifteen minute speech. Mr. Harris opened up in true Southern style; his introductory sentences ran as follows: Ladies and gentlemen of Gwinnett county: I am delighted to be with you today. On every battle field for the last 100 years the people of Gwinnett County have shown their patriotism. I am especially honored at the presence of the ladies. The good in men and in every one of you is due our wives, mothers and sisters. We sometimes wonder if the women of the South do not get tired of the "bunk" that is always being passed to them under the guise of chivalry? We wonder if they would not be glad to exchange some of this chivalry for a little more equality? It does seem somewhat contradictory that in that section where woman is placed on the highest pedestal, and where the men bow down to her with more than outward show of esteem than anywhere else, the objection to woman suffrage is strongest. During the two hours and fifteen minutes that Mr Harris spoke he gave many and varied reasons why the people of Georgia should vote for him in preference to other candidates. For example: You are not electing a man to a political office. These are patriotic times and politics has been put aside. You are now voting for your soldier and sailor boys and your commander-in-chief. But he reached what was no doubt the strongest argument with his audience when he said: I have appointed more Confederate veterans to federal office than any other living man, and I'm proud of it. And my wife teaches our little girl that the Confederate veteran goes straight to heaven when he dies. And in Washington there used to be an organ-grinder that came several times a week in front of our house. He couldn't speak English and I didn't know his name. But he knew that whenever he played "Dixie" that a shower of pennies would be thrown on him by a little nine-year-old blue-eyed girl from our window. It would be a strain on the imagination to try and picture the enthusiasm and applause that must have greeted this statement of the speaker. There must have been thunderous hand clapping and foot stamping mingled with the blood-curdling "Rebel Yell." For be it known that this was no empty boast on the part of Mr. Harris That gentleman has been both Director of the United States Census and a member of the Federal Trade Commission, so he has had ample time and opportunity to appoint more Confederate veterans to Federal office than any other living man; and since he feels that being a Confederate veteran is the highest qualification for office, there is little doubt that the statement made to his Gwinnett County audience was true. The recital of these solid, material facts regarding the dispensation of rich and juicy Federal patronage to those who once wore the gray and thought it their duty to fight against the Union was alone sufficient to stir his hearers to unbounded enthusiasm. But Mr. Harris did not stop at that; he is too much of a southern orator to depend upon mere facts for argument. He went further and brought in the tender, sentimental and poetic picture of the little girl at her mother's knee each night learning that all Confederate veterans go straight to heaven when they die. And even on top of this he paints the oathetic figure of the poor Hahan organ grinder, who could not speak English, but who had learned to know whenever he played "Dixie" a little blue-eyed girl would throw him a shower of pennies from the window. Such a combination of facts and poetry ought to get Mr. Harris all the votes in any county in Georgia. We have said a combination of facts and poetry: but it is after affa combination of facts and more facts. For in the pictures of the little girl at her mother's knee learning that all Confederates go to heaven when they die, and the Italian organ grinder at the window playing "Dixie" for a shower of pennies, there is more truth than poetry. We now wish to call attention to the solemn peroration delivered by Mr. Harris on this occasion of addressing the people of Gwinnett County, Georgia: And I want to tell you that if William J. Harris is elected, every one of the boys in the trenches will rejoice for they will know that the voice of t. patriotic and loyal people of Georgia has spoken. And a shout The members of the Methodist Episcopal Church who have been appealing for representation in the Board of Bishops may now take heart again. Reports to the United States Employment Service indicate, that colored women in the South are seeking new forms of work, with the consequence that there exists a shortage of candidates for domestic service. This shows that human nature is much the same, whether it be under a white or black skin, as the same situation in regard to white domestics exists in the North: The only legitimate way to keep domestics in the South is to pay them living wages. The effort to so construe the "Fight or Work" ordinances as to force domestic service at inadequate wages, is too unblushing a form of peonage to La Correspondencia, a Spanish journal published at Madrid, has been paying considerable attention to the part played by the American Negro in the present war. In a recent issue the statement is made that the Negroes of the United States are demonstrating their patriotism equally with other Americans. "Although most of them are poor, yet they have contributed large sums to the Liberty Bonds. All of them have proved their patriotism. There are 15,000 Negro soldiers in the American Army in France, who have demonstrated grand heroism at the battle front." Our Spanish friends might have added another cipher to their figures and still remained below the mark, as at least 200,000 soldiers of the race have been transported to France, where they are doing effective work along all lines. Think, of it people of Gwinnett County! And not only of Gwinnett County, but of all Georgia and the whole nation! Think of what it will mean to the boys in the trenches if William J. Harris is elected! See the American soldiers in France going over the top with renewed vigor and determination because they know that Harris is elected. See them plunging on to the German frontiers and on to Berlin, singing as they go, "Harris is elected." On the other hand, if Harris should be defeated, appalling thought. Of course, this is merely supposition, because as there is no such thing as a two-sided election in Georgia, Harris cannot be defeated. But, taking his own words, suppose that the impossible could happen and that a candidate other than the regular Democratic nominee could be elected in Georgia, think of what it would mean. The heart taken out of our boys at the front. Gloom and despair settling down upon the allied armies. Haig and Pershing and Foch throwing down their swords and throwing up the sponge and saying sadly, "Harris is defeated, all is lost." In the language of the Honorable William J. Harris, "these are indeed patriotic times" in Georgia. AMERICAN REGIMENTS AT CAMP UPTON. A report comes from Camp Upton that steps are being taken to form an organization whose exclusive speech will be English. This organization is to be known as Development Battalion No. 6, and the plan is to have each and every member of the Development Battalion speak only English. In the mess halls and squad rooms signs are to be placed warning members of the organization that only English is to be spoken. This report goes on to say, "Never since the first soldier arrived from New York to train as ap art. of the Seventy-seventh Division from New York to train as a part of the Seventy-seventh Division (colored) regiment be excluded." That is to say, of all the soldiers that New York has sent to Camp Upton there has not been a single unit in which all of the men spoke English, except the famous colored regiment, the Buffaloes. This distinction of the Buffaloes goes beyond what is indicated above. We venture to say that it was not only the one regiment that New York has sent to Camp Upton which was wholly American in language, but that it was also the only one sent there that was wholly American in habits, customs, aspirations, principles, traditions, civilization and religion. This is true not only of the Buffaloes, but of every black regiment that has been raised. Nothing foreign in or about any one of them. No pro-Germanism. No reserved allegiance to any potentate either upon the Congo or the Nile. No lurking thought of treason. Every man in every regiment American from the soil up. Perhaps the thought has not occurred to many people that next August marks the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the landing of the Negro in the United States. In other words, he landed here before the Pilgrim Fathers did. Think of that when you dig some other people boasting about their Americanism. How does New York intend to treat the men and the race that made up the only 100 per cent. regiment that she was able to send to Camp Upton? BARRED BOOKS.

In the despatch from Washington it is stated that these books are barred because their influence will tend to make the soldier who reads them a less effective fighter against the Hun. It was also stated that the books were objectionable because some of them were distinctly pro-German, "while others were either salacious or morbid and unit for reading by anybody, but more particularly by soldiers." The titles of the sixteen books just barred are as follows: "Behind the Scenes in Warring Germany. L. Edward Lyell Fox 'Book of Truth and Facts.' Trzsion Franzuszus "Degree of Democracy.' Kelly Miller 'German Empire's Hour of Destury.' Colonel H. Trobenius "German World Politics.' Paul Kohrbach "Germany and the War." Bernhard Dernburg "Germany's Just Cause." J. O. D.

What surprised us was to see Kelley Miller's pamphlet in such bad company. We have read Prof. Miller's "Disgrace of Democracy" several times, and we must confess that we find it difficult to imagine how it comes under the ban. It is not pro-German, it is not salacious, nor is it morbid. To our mind it is one of the plainest signboards pointing to the new democracy which the world hopes to find that has yet been set up. Moreover, it contains one of the finest tributes of patriotism ever written by a Negro. If we remember correctly, Prof. Miller quotes the Negro as saying of his country, "Though thou slay me, yet will I serve thee." We shall have to read the "Disgrace of Democracy" again to see if we can discover what is wrong with it. A CLEAN CUT PAPER.

Daily Lite October 6, 1918 Some months ago, or, to be exact, Friday, May 17, George Creel, Director at the National Bureau of Information at Washington, D. C., said to the writer, in speaking of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, "A wonderful man, a remarkably efficient man, brilliant, of inestimable value to the War Department." These words were in our mind as we were being led by a marine Thursday morning through the lobby and down the aisle of the west side of the first floor of the War Department Building to Room 131, in which Mr. Scott has his office. Entering the main entrance of the War Department Building, one is immediately impressed with the air of business-like bustle. Here there is no loafing. Everyone is on his or her job with 100 per cent. energy. Entering the office of the Special Assistant Secretary, one realizes that here is a workshop. Four expert male stenographers are seated at desks piled with correspondence and printed matter in orderly array, pounding the printer keys at a high rate of speed. We are greeted by one of these Our errand being stated, we are advised that Mr. Scott has stepped out of the office for a moment, and we are introduced to Private Secretary Davis. One glance at Secretary Davis, the shape of his head, the alertness of his eye, the air of high efficiency which seems to be all about him, and it is quickly realized that one of the things which has contributed to Mr. Scott's success is his ability to pick men. A five or ten minute wait, and Secretary Scott enters. Even in the formulations of greeting one could not resist the temptation to seek to study the sub-conscious man while gazing into the face of the visible. 'Here is he upon whom the hopas of 12,000,000 black American rest. In appearance, youthful. In demeanor, quiet; cultured rather than deficient, with a total absence of ostentation. Quiet in speech 'Precisie in action and word. A master of details, was demonstrated by his giving attention to and rendering decision on four separate matters, without even a notewable break in his words of greeting. Truly, the President has wrought wisely and well in the selection of Mr. Scott, and the race is justified in feeling proud of the fact that it possesses one of its own a man of the high caliber and reinmarkable abilities of the Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, Emmet L. Scott. THE NEGRO IN WAR WORLD WASHINGTON, D.C. — There are no fifty colored chaplains in the United States Army. The September call for selective draitees, issued by Provost Maria General Crowder, included 29,016 colored men. In the total of 1,900,000 American troops sent overseas a goodly proportion may be accorded to the Negro race. This total was given by the War Department officials at a recent hearing before the House Committee on Military Affairs. Many press reports, commenting on the American army in France, indicate that the Germans have a wholesome fear of colored troops in action.

I have before-me a second letter from Mr. Holland asking that he be advised where he can secure musical numbers featured this season by our representative colored news. admitted that provided for writers, but helping the N music was dis. Before the co. asked me to therance of a meant the c money and w. However, his interest in practical, was Colored composers, one and all, would doff their hats to Mr. Holland. He is a doer, not a talker. Neither would it be amiss for our advocates of race co-operation to point out Mr. Holland as a shining example of one who practices what he preaches. If there were just 100,000 more William R. Hollands out of the twelve million colored Americans it would not be a very long time before the race could boast of music publishing houses in New York where talented young men and women might find an avenue for the exploitation of their musical compositions. In the United States to-day there are hundreds of young colored song writers of promise, but they find little encouragement, if any, in the music publishing world. This unfavorable condition is due largely to the inability of these ambitious writers to secure the serious consideration of the white publisher. But the latter, it must be remembered, first must give a willing ear to the compositions of young white writers. The need of the establishment of music publishing houses conducted mainly to exploit the musical numbers of colored writers is not a new subject. Two years ago Alex Rogers and I not only discussed it at length but spent much valuable time in a futile effort to enlist white and colored people of means who bear the reputation of being extremely sympathetic toward the Negro. Our experience was none too pleasant, and after numerous personal interviews and exchange of correspondence on the wholesale we finally reached the conclusion that if a colored publishing house was to be formed it would be without the financial aid of philanthropists. We also found out that philanthropists, as a general rule, do not care to further race projects, even if there is a roseate opportunity to combine philanthropy with business to their financial advantage, unless the aims and objects strike their particular fancy. Giving with many of them seems to be a fad. One of the philanthropists, while thinking well of the plan, was inclined to think that the publishing house should devote much of its efforts toward getting out songs for colored churches. Of course, we felt that our field of endeavor ought not to be restricted, nor did we care to confine ourselves to publishing religious numbers only. Another philanthropist of note was asked to look at the proposition as one in which he would get back his original investment. We assured him that we did not want a cent for our services, which would be gratis until the business became well established. We likened the present situation existing among colored writers to an orchard where the fruit was falling to the ground and rotting, due to neglect and failure to gather it. This philanthropist in question admitted that an outlet should be provided for our promising colored writers, but frankly stated that helping the Negro in the realm of music was distinctly out of his line. Before the conference was over he asked me to help him in the furtherance of a pet idea of his which meant the expenditure of more money and was far less practical. However, his plan of promoting the interest of the race, while less practical, was far more spectacular and would have put him more in the limelight. After similar experience with white philanthropists, Mr. Rogers and I decided to turn our attention to colored men throughout the country known to have fat bank accounts and who are supposed to believe that the race will become that much stronger and influential in proportion to the solid business enterprises it can put in the commercial world. There were some who did not have the common courtesy to reply, while others were not so favorably impressed with facts and figures presented, as the _proposition did not, have the aspect of a get-rich-quick scheme. It failed to quicken their imagination the same as a 100 to 1 shot at the races. Some Negroes throughout the country who are known for opening wine and "going big" in public, thought the idea "wonderful," but that was all they did—just think; so the publishing company was ultimately organized in a most modest way—by the writer going down in his jeans. With the proper cooperation the enterprise could have been started under more auspicious conditions. There are two music publishing concerns struggling for recognition and success in New York at this time. One is the Walton Publishing Company, which is in swaddling clothes, and the Pace & Handy Music Company, which is known as the "Home of the Blues" and took up residence in the metropolis a few months ago. This firm has been trying to gain a foothold for more than five years, and it affords me pleasure to be able to state that its future looks bright. Since the advent of Peace & Handy in New York I have heard colored writers declare that they would not place their numbers with a colored firm, as their previous experience with colored publishing houses some years ago was none too remunerative. I have heard these same writers complain of being unable to get their sons with a white publisher.' Were an investigation made it would be brought to light that the colored firm gave larger royalties than the white firms. Of course, many of us well know that one of our drawbacks is expecting too much of one another—because we are Negroes. The two colored publishing firms mentioned herein have been able to live so far largely on account of the white musical public But imagine what influence for good they would yield for race writers if there were 100,000 William R. Hollands-or say 50,000 William R. Hollands-out of twelve million people! AT THE LAFAYETTE Harlem will be furnished with one of the most thrilling war plays since the United States entered the great world conflict "The Man They Left Behind" is the vehicle that will give colored people the best opportunity for viewing at close hand at the Lafayette Theatre. "The Man They Left Behind" is a rare combination between an appeal to patriotism, a plea for Americanism, a lesson to slackers and a warning against THE BATTLE These athletic regroes were right in front at the Hyde Park (London) athletic games conducted by Y. H. C. A. as a demonstration of American sports. They are "right in front," too, when it comes to the chee. indiscriminate talking and gossiping in public. The Red Cross, Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps are brought into the play and yet one dovetails into another until an actual sermon is made into a play that is fascinating in every scene, pulsating in every line and thrilling in every climax. For once the importance of the company that will present "The Man They Left Behind" must be thrust into the background and every word, every action and deed brought into the lime-light to bring this play to the notice of the theatre-goers who patronize the Lafayette.

With the record of having won each of the four games out of the four dates played since organizing the gridron squad, the eleven of "Y" Hut 31, Camp Upton, is fastly developing into a football factor that will require everything the camp has to offer in order to cope with it.

Manager Jack Trotter and Secretary A. T.

THE "THE BUFFALOES" SMOKE FUND THEATRE CENTRAL PARK WEST (Continued on Page 10) AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE FOR NEGRO TROOPS INVEN THIS HARPEN EN POINT TO CANDIDATE POINT WE KNOW THAT SOMEBODY CARES WHEN THIS HAPPENS EN ROUTE TO CAMP OR ENBARKATION POINT HE KNOWS THAT SOMEBODY CARES. VER 65,000 women are now actively enrolled as workers in the 700 American Red Cross canteens extending from the most northern point in Canada to the most southern in the United States and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Together with the canteen kitchens, medical supplies, and small transfer hospitals, they comprise the equipment of the Canteen service, primarily organized to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and to let them know that the country is with them and appreciates the sacrifice they are making. It was also organized for the purpose of meeting emergencies which may arise with troops in transit—unavoidable delays, accidents, supplies exhausted, sudden illness or accidents to the men en route. The American Red Cross Canteen Service is one branch of the service which, owing to its nature, requires a certain amount of secrecy. The United States is a tremendous country, with miles of track, and its troops are spread over tremendous areas. Men are sent from their home towns to camps, troops are moved from one camp to another, and they are shipped from camps to embarkation points and sent overseas, but wherever they are they find the American Red Cross has already blazed the trail and is there "on the job." This service, like all efforts in behalf of the soldiers, sailors and marines on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, is rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Six hundred segro solid rs were served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. In a press report of the work it was stated: "It will be a long time before the activities of that great organization, the American Red Cross, will perform a better service, or one that gives the good women, both white and colored, more pleasure. They were enlisted colored men coming direct from their farms and homes in Louisiana, going to a strange city and surroundings. They were a timid set when they stepped off the train here like a drove of lost sheep, but there was a far different feeling when they left. The interest shown in them here made new and fighting men out of them. They will take their places in the trenches just like the white soldier, and every time one of them does it he takes the place of your boy or my boy. He's an American soldier, and all honor is due the splendid work of our Canteen women and their colored women helpers." Negro Auxillaries. Many cities of the South are organizing colored auxiliary canteen committees. The colored canteen in New Orleans is in charge of a very fine colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has headquarters on the ground floor of the Pythian Temple, owned entirely by 'negro capital. It has five large rooms, well equipped for rest and recreation, and to date has entertained every batch of negro selects leaving for cantonments. It is maintained by New Orleans Chapter funds. At some points, notably in Texas, Canteen service is maintained to give refreshments to the aviators at their landing fields.

AS TO WHITE MEN. have been erected, and all troop trains are switched on either side of them that the men may be served quickly and efficiently. Upon the return recently of the national field secretary to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, after a three months' transcontinental tour of the canteen stations, she presented a list of delightfully varied cooling refreshments served the troops—lists registering ingenuity and thrift in utilizing local resources to make an appetizing and attractive menu for the boys. The prince requisite, of course, in the summer months was something cool, refreshing and perfectly harmless—inexpensive and easy to prepare and serve in large quantities on short notice. Soap and water and towels, while not on the menu exactly, were immensely appreciated, and flowers were a real refreshment. All were enthusiastically received by the men after a hot and dirty trip. Interesting "slidights" on the Canteen activities the length and breadth of the country fud their way into the national headquarters of the American Red Cross and give one a very human insight into the work In one city where it was known that nineteen nurses were to pass through on the train, en route overseas, twelve canteen workers in uniform boarded the train on its arrival and presented each nurse with a beautiful red rose. They were quite overcome and declared the courtesy was one of the most things, that had ever happened to them. He Got Ninety! At another canteen station a lone egro was served. He had been in France, had been wounded and was sent home on a furious to get well, "Yessum," he said, "I was hit in the arm and the knee. And I got so mad when I was hit I grabbed my gun and I sure let her go. Yessum, I was satisfied—got ninety of the Germans!" En route to Waynesville hospital, a sergeant with six invalid soldiers applied to the American Red Cross Canteen at a station for a more suitable lunch for the men than could be found in the regular lunch room. Service was given immediately and eggs, fruit, milk, etc., supplied to the men. This is but one of many instances that demonstrate the efficiency of the Canteen service in emergencies. ness.

He was one of the best known caterers in this section and had been engaged at the plant of the Wheata Company for some time. Mr. Brown was a member and deacon in the Second Baptist Church and was connected with the National Society of Elizabeth. er for years found he was to pass through his "home town" and wrote her to that effect, asking that she meet him at the train. The message did not reach her. Naturally, very much disappointed not to find her at the station, the boy's woe-begone expression attracted the attention of a canteen worker. When she heard his story she immediately started out in her car, found the mother, motored her to the station and had the pleasure of witnessing a very happy reunion of mother and son before duty called him overseas. Canteen workers often supply the messages for the "folks back home" that are written on the post cards distributed by the American Red Cross throughout its Canteen service. This is done in cases where the men are unable to write themselves. Recently a distribution of the cards was made to a number of colored troops, and many of the Canteen workers were called upon to do the writing. In commenting upon the incident one of the workers said: "The giving was not all on our part, for when they returned from their exercises through the city the colored men were formed in a hollow square by their Commandant and the 'talent' of the regiment ordered out. The singing was beautiful and the clog dancing entertaining." The colored men were so pleased with their treatment that several of them made speeches, and one spokesman stated that he was going to have the American Red Cross Canteen "wrilt up" when he got to where he was going. "It was the supper hour, but my committee was at the station at work on ham sandwiches and preparing coffee within twenty minutes after notification of the time of arrival of the troops," says a Canteen captain in a recent report. "When the train arrived my five ladies served nice fresh country ham sandwiches from large trays garnished with lettuce. I had to call in the husbands, as we had only twenty minutes to serve eleven couches. After serving the sandwiches and coffee we made the second trip around, and each boy aboard received a red Cross chocolate bar and cigarettes. Every single boy was courteous and orderly, and their appreciation was the sweetest thing I ever saw." "This is swell and helps a fellow a lot," said a big olive-drabbed boy after partaking of canteen refreshments at and family, deeply consecrated to the welfare of the church with which he was so prominently identified and for which he worked so untiringly and was a model citizen. No member of his race has occupied a higher respect in this city than he, and his entire life merited the esteem in which he was held. Interment was in the Rahway Cemetery. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to convey our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors for the kindness shown us in our recent bereavement. We particularly wish to express our appreciation to the Rev. Wright, Rev. Tate, the Wheaton Co., the Uniform Rank, K. of P. Lodge or Wheaton, No. 20, and all who so intimately and kindly shared their lives. A SMILE IS THE PRICE HE PAYS FOR THESE BANANAS MANY OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS CHAPTERS a point in the west. "And if it weren't for one thing I and my chum could come mighty near being happy now." "Tell us about that one thing that makes you unhappy. Maybe we can fix it." smilingly encouraged a charming Canteen worker. "Well, we're broke, and no one can fix that but our dads, and they are 'way up in Washington. We haven't time to wire for extra money—and there you are," said the lad with a wistful smile. "That's easy," said the Canteen girl. "We'll send the wires for you and have the money sent to your next stop." "Hurrah for you!" cried the boys. And as they boarded the outgoing train they were quite a different looking expression from that which they registered just a few minutes before. From the foregoing, which is in reality but a "flash" of the great Canteen service in operation, one receives but the barest outline of the far-reaching effect of this branch of the American Red Cross activities in this coun- Workers Take Oath The American Red Cross furnishes all commanders of troop trains, conductors and railway officials with a Canteen directory, embracing the names of the chapters which have organized Canteen units. Upon being given the briefest possible telegraph notice these chapters are prepared to render assistance of all kinds to troops en route Troop train commanders, having government funds for the purpose, pay the government rate for rations ordered. In cases of accident or sickness occurring en route medical assistance and ambulance service are arranged for if requested in advance. Some of the Canteens, designated as "transfer stations," have immediate ambulance service for transferring sick and wounded service men to hospitals, as well as specially prepared food for sick soldiers to transit. All official American Red Cross Canteen Workers are carefully investigated and enrolled under oath of allegiance, and the woven shield of the TRIBUTE TO MISS LYONS. THE following testimonial has been addressed to Miss M. R. Lyons by Mrs. T. H. Wright, president of the Woman's Charity Club of Brooklyn: To Miss Lyons of Brooklyn, N. Y. Public School 83. It is a fact that always we sing the praises and celebrate the good deeds of famous people after they are gone from us. This occasion, is therefore unique in that we are here to do honor to one who, although she has rounded out a long and successful career, is still with us to enjoy its wonderful fruition—in still our brilliant, active champion. It is a joy that we may express to her our loving appreciation of her shining life. Her unloving zeal in our behalf has made her an inspiration of the mothers, fathers, children and grandchildren. It would be valuable Canteen worker, bearing the feed Cross insignia, is worn conspicuously when on active duty. The officers of a Canteen unit includes a captain, first and second lieutenants, a supply clerk and a mail clerk. The size of the Canteen unit depends largely on the frequency of the troop movements through its location. It is estimated that a unit of fifteen women can serve five hundred men. At first both Army officers and railway men felt that the *Uniteen service* was not a necessity, in that it duplicated the provisions of the Government and the railroads. But observers in both Army and railroad service have come to acknowledge that the *Uniteen* is a unique addition to troop transportation. At a time when the whole machinery of travel is geared to an unheard of speed, it is inevitable that accident and weather should result in unforeseeable delay and discomfort—the prolongation of journeys far beyond their expected time often depletes the troop stores and the enormous travel on the railroads often limits the available railway supplies. The American Red Cross canteen service assists the officer conducting transportation by giving him an immediate depot of supplies and helps the railroad by feeding the troops in the railroad yard thus preventing congestion at the station. In one city the president of the rail road ordered a freight car given the American Red Cross. It was equipped with light and gas and placed on a track near the railway station. The canteen unit is thus able to keep the coffee hot and have refreshments on hand for the incoming troop trains and it also serves as a protection to the workers against cold white waiting for the trains. The equipment of an American Red Cross canteen is just exactly what a community decides to make it. Some canteens in the larger centers are highly developed, while others embrace the minimum equipment. All are doing a wonderful work in which it is a pleasure to have a share. to try to tell you about our beloved Miss Lyons, whose name is and has been a household word in Brooklyn. MRS. T. H. WRIGHT.
