Those in charge of this phase of Y. W. C. A. work lay stress on the fact that recreation centers for colored girls will be established as rapidly as workers can be found to act as capable leaders for girls. At present centers are in operation in Atlanta, Ga.; Brooklyn, Burlington County, N. J.; Charleston, S. C.; Charlotte, N. C.; Columbia, S. C.; Columbus, O.; Des Mones, Montclair, N. J.; Newport News, Va.; Penniman, Va.; Petersburg, Va.; Richmond; San Antonio; St. Louis; Washington, D. C.; and Winston-Salem, A. C. There are thirty-nine 'Girls' Workers in charge of these centers. Four of the centers are located in large industrial communities—St. Louis, Detroit, Pennimah and Hopewell. They are under the direction of Miss Mary E. Jackson, national Y. W. C. A. special industrial worker among colored women. The centers, which bid fair to become influential agencies for good during the reconstruction period after the war, are designed to give the instinctive desire for play of girls an outlet under proper direction.

A. through Miss Bird and other workers, to develop colored girls mentally, physically and spiritually, and inspire them to make the world a better place in which to live. Through the centers the Y. W. C. A. proposes to do for the colored girl just what is being done for the white girl. Although a member of Miss Bowles' staff, Miss Bird is also associated with Miss Gertrude Gogin, national Y. W. C. A. Girl's work secretary. During the United War Work campaign to be conducted by the Y. W. C. A. and six other relief organizations to raise $170,500,000 the week of November 11, Miss Bird will have charge of the colored division of the Victory Girls throughout the country and will also serve as a member of the executive council of Greater New York. Miss Bird has taught for four years in the Boston public schools, obtaining a leave of absence two months ago to work in a larger and more fruitful field. She was educated in the public schools of Boston and was graduated from the Boston Normal School. Miss Bird was a student in Teachers' College at the Columbia University Summer School this year.

Telling the folks about France. A typical scene in "Y," "K. C." and other huts "Over There." KEEP YOUR PROMISE WRITE HOME, BETTER MEN THAN BEFORE WAR "Y" MAN WRITES FROM FRANCE In any country war gives rise to extraordinary conditions. The things that tend to pull men down are very prominent at such a time. Immorality, gambling and drink are among these. Many men give way to these things not because they prefer wickedness but rather because usually the wicked things appear more attractive. The man who is far away from home and, therefore, away from his parents, his sisters and brothers, his friends and acquaintances—away from the refining influences of his own fireside—too often becomes a victim of the things that are bad. What the soldier, under war conditions, would do without the Y. M. C. A. is, to a great extent, shown by what he is doing with it.

Negro voters can support the party with hearty unanimity, especially in those districts where they are represented among the legislative candidates by competent men of the race. Let those voters in the Harlem districts make sure to have their votes count for Assemblyman Johnson and Mr. Hawkins. And this applies to the women as well, for they can vote as well and as effectively as the men. HELP THE HELPERS. Making the American soldier fit both in mind and body has been an important function performed by the Young Men's Christian Association, Knights of Columbus, Young Women's Christian Association, Salvation Army and kindred organizations. Enthusiastic as are competent observers over the fighting efficiency of our boys in khaki they are unreserved in their praise of what is being done for their moral and mental cure. "Carrying home across" might well be the work of the seven splen did organizations which are associated in the United War Work Campaign the week of November 11. What our Liberty Loan Dollars are doing to make our soldiers the best equipped in the world, the money which these organizations are spending is doing to make them the most contented. The comfort and well-being of our fighting forces which have done so much toward the spirit that won lasting glory for the victors. of Chateau-Thierry would never have been possible but for the invaluable work of the Young Men's Christian Association, Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, Young Women's Christian Association and American Library Association. Their workers are everywhere, always ready with the helping hand from the time the boys leave home for the training camp until the moments come when he receives the command for the "jump off." The one and ever present thought of these tireless workers of relief organizations is "our soldiers as men." Here there is no fine distinction of race, creed or color, no separation into classes or groups on the part of the organizations. The colored lad from Alabama is as welcome in the K. of C hut as his white brother from Mississippi Jew and Catholic share in common with their Protestant comrades-in- arms the recreations and comforts of the "Y". In the United War Work Campaign to be conducted by these seven agencies for the purpose of raising $170,500,000, the Negroes of the country should rally to the call for financial aid and fitly express appreciation for the splendid treatment, accorded our colored soldiers by responding unlesitatingly and liberally. UNJUST DISCRIMINATION. Another complaint of unjust discrimination perpetrated under Democratic auspices is now going up from Republican campaign workers; who are anxious, to elect Republican Congressmen. No, this has nothing to do with the suppression of the ballot in the South, nor the universal denial of equity and justice to the Negro. This is another side of Democratic domination, as it touches the pocket of the Northern and Western farmers and business men. It is charged with every appearance of truth that all the price fixing done by the Government has been done so as to affect only those products raised in the West and North, such as wheat, wool and coal. The losses of possible profits that could have been made by the producers of these staples is contrasted with the latitude allowed the Southern growers of cotton and rice, whose profiteering has been unrestricted. Then, it is also charged that the bulk of the revenue to carry on the war is being collected in the North, whereas the expenditure of these vast sums is directed as far as possible to the "Solid South." As an example of the way this is done, it is pointed out that most of the government plants for war work, most of the army cantonments and aviation fields have been established in the Southern States. All of this is quite interesting as showing the tendency of the South to discriminate in other directions than in seeking to "keep the Negro down." No great amount of sympathy can be felt for those white Republicans who are now squirming under Southern domination; in fact, the experience should be good for their souls. They are only tasting in some slight measure the discrimination to which their apathy and indifference have condemned the Negro of the South since the collapse of the Reconstruction state governments. It is a case of reaping the harvest of the seed sown under Hayes and his Republican successors in the Presidency and the Congress. They said that their hearts bled for the poor Negro, but they left him to the fate of Democratic domination. Nevertheless, it would not be unwise to back up the Republican party in the effort to elect a Republican Congress to aid in bringing the war to a successful issue. The party has showed its ability to rise above partisan advantage and support the President in all essential efforts to prosecute the war, and it can be depended upon better to carry out the readjustments necessary to the making of a permanent peace. As, the adjournment of politics has ceased during the campaign, all good men, and women too, should rally to the loyal support of those Republicans whose election will further the cause of democracy without discrimination. A vote for the Republican candidate for Representative in Congress in your district will be a vote in the right direction. In fact, wherever you see a good Republican vote for him. The true significance of the effort of the United States to establish a world democracy has evidently not penetrated the heads of those white workmen at Curtis Bay, Md., who refused to work with a colored bricklayer from South Carolina. There is still much missionary work to be done by the American Federation of Labor, under the long headed guidance of President Gompers. VIEWS and REVIEWS The war has made labor scarce. It has made domestic servants still more scarce. Women who used to be cooks and chambermaids and washwomen are now working in factories and munition plants for men's wages. This condition is particularly acute in the South. Many colored men in that section are making so much money that they do not need the assistance of their wives to help support the family; so where these women once used to go out to cook or to wash, they now stay at home to cook and wash for their own families and take care of their children. This is making a good deal of trouble and embarrassment for the white women of the South who are not accustomed to doing their own work; so many Southern communities are trying to remedy the situation by law. The latest community to try to do this is Memphis, Tenn. In Memphis, the Cotton Exchange and the other business exchanges of the city have appointed a WAR WORK COMMITTEE, and this committee has published in the Memphis daily papers halfpage "WARNINGS" to all "idlers." These warnings state that every able-bodied man, woman and child between the ages of 18 and 60 shall work 6 days each week, and that they must be in possession of a work card, signed by their employer, to prove that they are working, or they will be subject to arrest and imprisonment. This warning goes on further to say, "The Government demands it," and that those who do not comply will be declared "war slackers." Now, the Government does not and never has demanded any such thing. The work or fight demands of the Government do not even contemplate women. Of course, we know it will be said that the Memphis regulation purposes to enforce the rule against white and colored women alike: But we know absolutely that it will never be enforced against white women who do not have to and do not wish to work; and we should like to see any WAR WORK COMMITTEE brave enough to try it; such a committee would not belong in Memphis, but right on the battle front. Just how these regulations are working out in practice may be seen from the two following clippings, the first taken from the Memphis News-Scimitar of the 24th and the second from the Memphis Press of the same date: REFUSED $5 A DAY; WORKS FOR 40 CENTS. Mildred Anderson, young negress, 666 Saffrans avenue, boasted to the "white folks" that she wouldn't work for less than $5 a day, but she will begin service Thursday at the Shelby county workhouse at 40 cents a day. She was fined $10 by Police Judge Fitzhugh on a disorderly conduct charge. Officers McGaha and Thomas said she aroused the neighborhood with her boisterousness and they arested her a complaint of neighbors. FINE NEGRESS FOR REFUSING TO WORK On testimony that she had refused several offers of $5 a day to work. Mildred Anderson, negress, was fined $10 in city court this morning on a loitering charge. "I'll give you a job at 40 cents a day in the workhouse," declared Judge Fitzhugh when he imposed the fine. This particular instance is as gross a violation of individual rights as there ever was. These regulations have neither Government sanction or the authority of law behind them. They will not stand if tested in the courts, and it is the duty of colored citizens to test these regulations in every community in which an attempt is made to enforce them. With such laws as these in force, no colored woman, no matter what her economic and financial condition, would be safe in her home. She could be dragged away from the care of her own household and her own children to do household work or drudgery for somebody else. Such dangerous regulations, we cannot call them laws, must not be allowed to stand. The N. A. A. C. P. has for several weeks been investigating these "work or fight" regulations in the South through a personal agent, and it has taken up the Memphis matter and demanded to know by what legal or federal authority the WAR WORK COMMITTEE of that city has issued and is executing such orders. This is a question of vital importance, because it is not a matter of "abstract" rights, but it is a matter of every-day, individual liberty and safety. HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS Liberty Bond scalpers are again at work, and the Liberty Loan Committee and the banks and even the District Attorney are on the job to try and put the scalpers out of business. Advertisements appeared in one of the morning papers carrying offers from a number of firms to buy paid up bonds, buy instalments on bonds, or lend money on bonds, at an interest rate of 6 per cent. Last spring the scalpers were offering from 20 to 75 per cent. of the face value for instalment receipts; that is, a person who had paid $75 on a $100 bond might realize from $15 to $56 on his investment. A number of persons who after the wave of enthusiasm passed found If you want to be represented in Congress by a conscientious, high class American, one who is absolutely square, vote next Tuesday for Frederick C. Tanner, candidate from the 17th Congressional District. tion he occupied. The colored voters of Baltimore should see that his conduct is remembered when they vote again for municipal officers. The destruction of the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trades Building marked the greatest fire in the history of Tuskegee Institute, representing a loss of $100,000. The work of reorganizing the trade instruction was started at once and the regular classes resumed work the second day after the fire in temporary quarters. These arrangements were made so that there was no interference with the teaching of the students and soldiers enlisted for special training. The conduct of the Baltimore city official who seasoned an appeal for Liberty Loan subscriptions to an audience comprising Negroes, with references to "coons," "darkies" and "niggers," was on a par with the witless performer who did something of the same sort in a New York amusement house. The conduct of the Baltimore seems the more contemptible and censurable on account of the official posi- the carrying of their bonds somewhat burdensome became the victims of these scalpers. Others who fell ill or met with some other misfortune also disposed of their bonds at a sacrifice. In speaking to colored purchasers of bonds, we say hold on to your bond; and if you are purchasing on the instalment plan, finish paying for it and then hold it. Do not let some sharper come along just when you have almost finished with the job and rob you out of $25 or $30. The bond is as good as gold. The interest is not as high as on some other investments, but the security is as solid as the American continent. If you have one or two or three or more bonds, you have just that much money that you cannot waste. Put them away and forget about them. When the bonds mature, you will have just that much cash, and it will come in like a gift off a Christmas tree. There is another side to this Liberty Bond matter, which applies especially to colored holders. We have helped as a race to fight all of the wars of the United States. Of course, in every war they always wonder all over again at our prowess as fighters, but we have been doing it from the Revolutionary War on down. But we are doing something this time which we have never done before; we are helping to pay for a war. To a good many American people that means more than helping to fight. THE RUSSIAN SHAKESPEARE. On Norman Hapgood's page in Leslie's Weekly there recently appeared the following paragraph: A Gilbert Murray is needed for Russia's greatest poet—a translator of his verse who could bring the Russian Shakespere as near to English speaking peoples as Mr. Murray has brought Euripides. This need was recalled on seeing in the Springfield Republican, one of our most cultivated newspapers, the attempt of a correspondent to render one of Pushkin's poems. He gave the meaning, but to give anything like the poetry would require the lucky combination of knowledge and literary faculty that Mr. Murray possesses. Many of us have come to look upon Tolstoi and Dostoevsky as the two greatest literary figures who have flourished in the last seventy-five years. Yet both of these men are held by Russians as clearly below Pushkin as we hold Milton below Shakespere. This feeling for the foremost figure of Russian literature can be found earnestly expressed in the letters of Dostoevsky. To translate verse is always in part to traduce it, yet even by those who are not linguists some flashes from Goethe's Faust may be discerned, or from Dante, while of Moliere, a large part is open in all tongues. A poet like Aeschylus, where the language is beaten gold, is almost unfrançaisable, but I understand (with joy) that Mr. Murray is to make the experiment. The problem of putting Pushkin into English is much easier. It is not so easy as translating Moliere, but it is about like putting Shakespere into German. It surely ought to be done; but don't all speak at once. Not many of us are familiar with the works of Pushkin, the national poet of Russia; and it is doubtful if very many of us are familiar even with the outstanding facts in the history of his life. When Peter the Great was Czar of Russia some African potentate presented him with a full-blooded Negro of gigantic stature. Peter, the most eccentric ruler of modern times, dressed this Negro in soldier clothes, christened him Hannibal and made him a special body-guard. But Hannibal had more than size, he had brain and ability. He not only looked well in a military uniform, he showed that he had in him the making of a real soldier. Peter eventually made him a general, and afterwards ennobled him. Hannibal, later, married one of the ladies of the Russian court. This same Hannibal was great-grandfather of Pushkin, the national poet of Russia, the man who bears the same relation to Russian literature that Shakespeare bears to English literature. Alexander Pushkin was born at Moscow in 1799. He had no struggle with poverty, nor did he seem to have any struggle for recognition. As one of his biographers puts it, "He walked into the Hall of Fame as naturally as a young heir steps into his lawful inheritance." When he was thirteen years old he went to school at the Lyceum of Tsarskoe Selo. When he was sixteen he declaimed his "Recollections of Tsarskoe Selo" in public at the Lyceum examination, and was immediately acclaimed as a poet. All that Pushkin accomplished he accomplished within a short lifetime; for he was only thirtyeight when he was led into an unfortunate duel in which he was mortally wounded. An officer in the Russian army had been flirting with his wife. Pushkin received an anonymous letter, and thinking that this officer was the author of it, wrote him a violent letter which, according to the custom of the times, made a duel inevitable. It is recorded that such was Pushkin's frenzy of rage that, after lying wounded and unconscious in the snow, he insisted on going on with the duel, and fired another shot, giving a great cry of joy when he saw he had wounded his adversary. He died a few days after the duel. Maurice Baring in his "Outline of Russian Literature," says, "Pushkin is Russia's national poet, the Peter the Great of poetry, who out of foreign material created something new, national and Russian, and left imperishable models for future-generations. * * * He set the Russian language free from the bondage of the conventional; and all his life he was still learning to become more and more intimate with the savour and smell of the people's language. * * * He was gifted with divine ease and unpremeditated spontaneity. His soul was sincere, noble and open; he was frivolous, a child of the world and of his century; but if he was worldly, he was human; he was a citizen as well as a child of the world; and it is that which makes him the greatest of Russian poets." We hope with Mr. Hapgood that some one will be found who is equal to the task of putting Pushkin's poems into English. It is curious to think that the greatest poet of Russia should be Alexander, Pushkin, a man of African descent; that the greatest romancer of France should be Alexandre Dumas, a man of African descent; and that one of the greatest musicians of England should be Coleridge-Taylor, a man of African descent. There appears in the October number of Vanity Fair the copy of a portrait of Dumas which, as that publication says, was "the artistic sensation of the summer in Paris." The portrait was painted by Daunier, and shows the great writer's African blood in an unmistakable way. The question may naturally arise: if from the man who was at the time, probably, the only Negro in Russia, there sprang that country's national poet: if out of a handful of colored people in France and England there came an Alexandre Dumas and an S. Coleridge-Taylor, why have not the millions of Negroes in the United States, with all of their emotional and artistic endowment produced one or more men of the same calibre? The answer to this question requires an article in itself; I shall try to give it in some future issue. POSSIBILITIES ABROAD COMING AFTER THE WAY MADRID, SPAIN—I am sending you a copy of *El Liberal* of August 24, in which appears a very interesting article under the heading of "The Noble Helpers in the Sisterhood of Nations." As a part of this article pays a very flattering compliment to the black soldiers in the French army, thinking you would be willing to reprint it in your paper. I have made a liberal translation for your information. The end of this war is in sight. The curtain is about to be raised for the final act of this bloody drama. The Germans having marched up the hill, are marching down again, only the march down is in form of a rout encouraged by the benevolent assaults of "Los Yanques de Color," who fight, as a man described to me, as if they are anxious to finish it up and get back home. So confident are the Allied powers that this battle of blood is drawing to a close, that already are the big and important plans being made for the great combat which is to follow: The War of Commerce. In preparation for this war the colored papers throughout the United States should begin to warn the young colored men and women to prepare themselves to take advantage of the many and great possibilities which will be offered in this mighty conflict. All South America is inhabited by members of the Latin races. Spanish is the one language spoken from the Rio Grande to the Tierra del Ecuador. The United States is preparing to conquer the vast commerce of this southern continent. Germany having been eliminated, she will have small opposition. The obstacle of race prejudices is not encountered among the Latin races. The only thing that counts in these countries is the man and what he represents. The words moreno (brown) or negro (black) are only used in the sense of identification. A colored man or woman of personality and ability representing a New York firm in Spain or any of the South American countries, will receive the same courtship reception and can accomplish the same business as a white man. The parount qualification of the recruit in this new army, other than a practical education, is to be able to talk, read, write correctly, and think in the language of the people whom he expects to do business with. To this one quality, as much as any other, Germany owed her great commercial successes, being a nation of the greatest linguists in the world. I read an item in a Spanish paper recently which said that the United States was beginning to study foreign languages, and among the languages being studied Spanish headed the list. The United States is preparing for this war in Latin America. After reading this article I wondered, how many young colored men and women could be counted among this number of new students. One great thing this war has done which seems to me a design of Providence, in bringing all these different races to gather in a compact of defense, they have had a chance to become acquainted with each other. The colored races are better known and are more appreciated to-day than ever before, and I am confident that this feeling of brotherly love and mutual dependence, cemented with blood during the years of this awful conflict, when the mighty was compelled to call up and gladly received the assistance of the weak and despaired, is going to continue after the war. Previous to this war the American Negroes were a race practically known to Europe. Europe has not seen the American Negro soldier, the American Negro officer and Europe be mightily and agreeably surprised. The United States is a great country in fact-to-day, the most wonderful richest in the world. I am glad to be called a citizen of this great republic. I am proud to be counted one of the many who are at present assisting proving her greatness to the whole world. It has been my good fortune to see most of this beautiful world God has made. During the past 20 years I have been permitted to travel and live for a time in Cuba, the Philippines, Japan, China, India, Egypt, Italy, Greece Turkey, France, England, Portugal and Spain, and while I believe the United States is the greatest and grandest of them all, yet I have been convinced it is not the entire world. There are countries outside of its borders, which offer possibilities, especially to the colored man, that he cannot, for a long time, to attain in the land of his birth. Many of our prepared young men and women who are dreaming and crying for the impossible in the United States could become men and women of consequence in some other land. It is estimated that in China there is one medical doctor to each 150,000 of its inhabitants. When I was in China 3 years ago, most of the doctors there were Germans. Imagine what a wonderful opportunity for fame and wealth this country offers to many struggling young colored doctors in the United States. Contrary to the popular opinion, the Chinese tongue is the easiest of languages to learn, having no grammar, it is only to accustom your ear to the sounds and accumulate a vocabulary. Any man with ordinary brains can begin conversing in a week and learn all about it in six months. There are as yet no medical laws in China, anybody can practice. The only things needed is nerve to begin with, a few colored pills to encourage the Chinese with and a good interpreter to tell him what the bill is. And China is only one of the many other countries where opportunities exist. There is, going to be a new word after this war, and in these new conditions of affairs the only chances offered will be to the man or woman who is prepared. From now on it is going to be strictly up to the colored man to be or not to be. Let us stop looking in the mirror, Forget our color and for heaven sake, stop calling ourselves Afro-Americans, a name without significance or harmony. This war is going to eliminate the hyphen forever. Let us consider ourselves men among men and prepare to become major-generals in this new commercial army of the feature. MORRISTOWN, N. J.

Not with hot irons. But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor anything else will make it kink acral after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. I offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure it, scalp nor hair. But it will stop it from drying, hair loss, and it promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more is sold under a brand name, but it is not a money refunded. I will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten to one wow. I will send to anyone ordering or registered letter, postal money order or express money order. Liberal inducements offered to agents. Write today for special terms. Enclose a stamp for reply.

He has been selected to assist in the coming United War Work company to be conducted for one week starting November 11 to raise $170,500,000. Of course, we over here are proud of this recognition and hope our people over there will show a proper appreciation for it by giving him every possible assistance. The commander of this camp, learning of the selection of Mr. Wright and appreciating our efforts here, gave me the following letter, which is, I am sure, a strong testimonial for the great work being done by the Y. M. C. A. in Europe and the Orient during this most extraordinary period. It is self-explanatory and is as follows: HEADQUARTERS CAMP MONITOR, BASE SECTION No. 1 Sept. 18, 1918. Mr. Wm. Stevenson. Secretary Y. M. C. A. Hut No. 2. My dear Mr. Stevenson: I understand that you are about to send a representative back to the United States to tell our people what the Y. M. C. A. is doing over here for our men and I take this opportunity to add to his information, the observation of so many of your great and grand work. I have seen the workings of your halls all along the line from the front line trenches to the base ports and have been a personal recipient of the comforts afforded by them on many occasions. I have always been impressed with the zeal with which the secretaries and others have prosecuted their work, with the uniting energies and with their valor and bravery, for the work at the front cannot be done except by real red blooded men. I have been particularly interested in the activities of your hut, devoted exclusively to the interests of our colored soldiers, since my assumption of the command of this camp and I congratulate you on the progress you have have and are now making. Besides the splendid athletics, social and canteen services offered by yourself and your assistants, I have been much impressed by your activities in the educational departments, and have been much pleased to see many of our colored soldiers, who have had but few advantages of early education, availing themselves of the advantages offered by you in acquiring a knowledge of the elemental branches of education, of the infant partitions of the means of many of our men saving their and purchasing money orders to send back home thereby placing their money where it should be. Wishing you every continued and further success in your good work. I have recently talked with numbers of soldiers who went through the battles of the Marine and Chaplain. They have told me how they appreciated the work of the "Y" men who brought them tobacco, newspapers, etc. to the front line and of their invaluable services and encouraging words in the trenches and dugouts, and every one with whom I talked told me that he was a better man than he was before the war. An organization which can produce such men and women volunteers-for every "Y" worker is a volunteer, some working without pay—should receive unstintingly both the moral and financial support of every American citizen. The Y. M. C. A. drive, I am advised, will come immediately after the Liberty Loan and will be pooled with other organizations. We know the people over there have given freely both their sons and their money, but we sincerely hope not one of them will overlook the opportunity to contribute to the war work fund of the Y. M. C. A., for it is the one great organization that is looking after the mental, physical and spiritual needs of our boys over here. If space and time permitted I could quote from letters of soldiers in which they express deep appreciation for services rendered them by the "Y." I write in this way and at length because the subject is of tremendous importance, and because I feel that the people back home ought to be advised of the great work being done by the organization in question. Surely the soldiers of this war are receiving care and attention the like of which no other soldiers have ever received, and this is as it should be, for they are making better the condition of the house in which their children and their children's children must live.

HARRIS THE LATE HARRIET TUBMAN riet, as she is widely known, on faith, June, 1896. The price was $1,250. Through donations $250 was paid at once. The Cayuga County Savings Bank later took over the mortgage of $1,000. Soon after she appealed to the Western New York Conference, which came to her relief, organized a board of trustees, and a board of lady managers, all of which with their successors have worked faithfully. At first she rented out the property, and kept needy persons in her private home until her health failed. In 1903 she deeded the property to the A.M. E. Zion Church of America which assumed the debt, amounting to more than $1,800. The church gave her a pension. The present valuation of the Home is about $10,000 and it is conducted on a non-sectarian basis. The early incorporators who did much to promote its well being, were the Revs. G C. Carter, E. A. U. Brooks, J. E. Mason, B. J. Wheeler, and Bishop Alexander Walters. The Board of Trustees are Bishop Geo. L. Blackwell, President, the Rev. E. A. U. Brooks, Secretary; P K. Fonvielle, L. L. Woods, E. S. Bailey, E. W. D. Jones, A. J. Yelverton, J. E. Mason, H. F. Johnson, B. G. Shaw and W. C. Mayo. There have been three superintendents during these years: the Rev Dr. Benjamin J Wheeler, the Rev E.

HOME IN ORK CITY E, 4th Ward OF QUEENS churches and friends in this locality. The speech in celebration of the burning of the mortgage was made by Dr. James E. Mason, secretary of Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C. Doctor Mason said in part: "The burning of this mortgage is a memorable event. It recalls and brings vividly to mind one of the most notable heroines of all time. What remarkable scenes and activities in rapid succession pass before us. Born a slave, rocked in the cradle of oppression, through the spirit inbreached by God, she rose superior to environment, and stamped the impress of her genius upon the best in modern Christian civilization. "The glowing fires of holy and sacred patriotism impelled her onward. She was thoroughly American. As nurse and spy she marched to the sound of martial music, and did her bit amid the roar of musketry and the rattle of artillery in the irrepressible conflict." If our standard is to be determined here or hereafter by a conscientious adherence to right, the company we keep, hers will be a lofty station. Who were her associates? Through the momentous struggle for the preservation of human liberty, the intrepid Abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison; the flower of New England culture and peerless orator, Wendell Phillips; the eminent statesman and humanitarian, Charles Summer; the myriad minded pulpitere, Henry Ward Beecher; your most distinguished citizen, the eminent secretary of state, William H. Seward; the reformatory and literary poet, whose mighty thoughts are winged with words of fire, J. G. Whitte; Harriet Beecher Stowe, Susan B. Anthony; the inimitable and eloquent Frederick Douglass; and the tallest American of all the centuries, Abraham Lincoln. "With such eminent personages she forms a part in the galaxy of imperishable glory. She, too, with other immortals, had heard voices and melodies from beyond the gates. Death to her was not the folding of pinions, but the spreading of wings; not the closing of prison bars, but the opening of Elysian gates to the world of light and love. When the future chronicler of American, history records the heroic deeds of her famous citizenry, the list will be incomplete without the name of the slave-child, the gentle, forceful personality—Harriett Tubman."

BEQUEST TO UTICA INSTITUTE. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) UTICA, Miss. - The Utica Normal and Industrial Institute has recently been remembered in the will of a good Southern friend, W. M. Hervey of West Virginia, to the extent one-fifth of one-half of his estate. It is not yet known what this will amount to, but it is thought that the estate is worth upward of a hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Hervey was a strong friend of Principal Holtzellaw and the institution for the past twelve years and had great faith in the future possibilities of the work. The Utica Institute, which has passed its fifteenth year, was founded by Wm. H. Holtzellaw, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, Class '98. Although it was started without means, it is one of the foremost institutions in the state. It has about 400 students, 25 teachers and officers, teaches twenty industries, owns 1,700 acres of land, substantial buildings, and is valued at $150,000. The institution is being inspected by the War Department, with a view to establishing a student Army Training Corps HAMPTON ANNIVERSARY POSTPONED. (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK.) HAMPTON, Va.—The Hampton Institute Fifthth Anniversary celebration, announced for October 31 and November 1, has been postponed on account of the present nation-wide epidemic of influenza. This action has been taken by the Hampton faculty and has been confirmed by the trustees. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music in announcing the postponement of the conference of Negro musicians, said: "The idea of holding such a conference at Hampton has not been abandoned. It is hoped that the session will be held next spring in connection with Hampton's annual music festival. Meanwhile the program of the conference is being enlarged." The Students' Army Training Corps numbers 445. It is made up of 200 men who came from Fisk University, 196 former Hampton Institute students and 49 men who were held over from a previous training detachment. Addresses were recently delivered to the S. A. T. C. by Dr. James E. Gregg principal of Hampton; Capt.

PETERSBURG, VA. - The Negro Organization Society has just completed a series of 'patriotic meetings in twenty-seven counties of Virginia. According to careful estimates a total of fully fifteen thousand persons attended these meetings. At nearly all of the meetings the 'commonwealth attorneys, division superintendents and other county officials were present and made remarks. The meeting in Nottoway County was distinguished by the presence of former Governor William Hodges Mann and Arthur D. Wright, state supervisor of Negro schools. County directors of War Savings Stamps also attended many of the meetings and urged the purchase of these stamps. The purposes of these meetings were to inform the masses of the colored people in rural communities on the objects of the United States in entering the war, to indicate the fine opportunities for service to their country the war has brought to the colored people and to urge their unstinted support of all war activities. Much was accomplished in the way of counteracting certain baseless rumors that were gaining headway among the more uninformed in some of the counties; and more by way of inducing hope and confidence and building up the morale of all the people in all of the counties reached. The officers and members of the Negro Organization Society who gave a week or more of their time speaking at these meetings were Major Allen Washington, president; E. A. Long; secretary; W. T. B. Williams, treasurer; T. C. Erwin and T. C. Walker, field agents; the Rev. L. L. Downing, J. H. McGrew, the Rev. R. H. Bowling, the Rev. W. L. Ransome, W. E. Woodyard, D. G. Jacox, W. H. Crocker, the Rev. L. E. B. Rosser, the Rev. W. T. Johnson, J. B. Pierce, A. W. Holmes and E. L. Morris. The National Security League and the State War Savings Committee assisted in financing this patriotic drive. At the sixth annual convention of the Negro Organization Society, to be held in Lynchburg Nov. 12-15, a winning-the-war session will be held at which effort will be made to get reports from the various state organizations and activities working among them on what the Negroes of Virginia are doing to help win the war. Each community will make a report through its School Improvement League. INFLUENZA ABATING IN PHILADELPHIA (Special to The New York Age) PHILADELPHIA, Pa. The plague is abating, although the average death rate is 500 a day. Our doctors, those that are left from the war, have no office hours, they are kept on the run all day, and night. It is a common thing to see 15 and 20 pine boxes stacked up in front of the undertaking rooms. A GIRL'S VACATION WORK To the Editor of The New York Age: Having been informed that you would like a statement of my work in the Summer Vacation School of this city, I write this letter for the encouragement of the girls of our race who are trying to be educated to serve in the best possible manner. In view of the fact that Negro girls have not been given an opportunity to show their abilities, I write to give them to Pleasantville. I write to our girls at the present. I write this to encourage the girls of our race who are striving to better their conditions and that of their race by equipping themselves so that they may master in the best possible manner the tasks that may fall to them in the future. The past summer, although only a student, I wanted to serve both my country and my race by doing practical work. I earnestly looked for a position, when I found vacancies in the Public Play Grounds of New York City. I applied for a position as pianist, and, after having passed the examination, which entitles one to the position, I was sent to the Mothers' and Babies' Play Ground at 225 East 27th street. Here I served as a pianist for two weeks, when, at the end of the time, the principal of that play ground found it necessary to leave. She recommended me as being capable of being the principal, and, after a conversation with Mr. Gibney, I was given the position. I was in the neighborhood where there happened to be Negro children, but every child had a roopeot for me that should be shown a teacher. No one need fear that education will not uplift us; our boys "over there" want results like this; it makes them feel that they are fighting for a democracy that a Negro may enjoy. L. FLOYD BOOKER. THE NEGRO IN THE WAR. Harrison Rhodes, one of America's keenest observers and most incisive writers, has an article in the October number of the *Metropohion Magazine* on "The Negro and the War." It is comprehensive and thorough and its five pages teem with the facts and graphic illustrations that tell in a live and attractive way the story of the deeds, sacrifice and the spirit of patriotism exhibited by the Negroes of this country Mr. Rhodes places around his statistics and historic data a frame work of philosophic deduction that analyzes the emotions, sentiments and aspirations which are impelling the 12,000,000 Negroes of the country to fight to a finish, along with their brethren in white, the battle for world democracy. One of the outstanding features of the article is an extract from a letter to Emmett J. Scott of the War Department at Washington, in which the commanding officer of one of the first Negro regiments to see active service in France, describes the manner in which the soldiers of his regiment conducted themselves in their initial baptism of fire and the happy impression they have made upon the broad-minded people of the French Republic. Mr. Rhodes' contribution is admirable from every point of view. He has secured a dignified and serious hearing for the Negro people and the 300,000 and more Negro soldiers of the republic. FRANCIS M. HUGO. LOCATE OF SYSTEM (Special to The New York Age.) ALBANY, N. Y.-Francis M. Hugo, secretary of state, candidate for re-election, has been a distinct asset to the Republican party and to the State of New York because he has shown himself a most efficient administrator of affairs. When he came to Albany he brought with him the knowledge and experience that have come through his legal work and his associations, with huge paper-making industries and railroads. Mr. Hugo is an advocate of system, and efficiency and system go hand in hand. The keynote of his success is really "system." And through the inauguration of such in the office of secretary of state, Mr. Hugo has not only succeeded in increasing the revenues of his office to a remarkable degree, but he has brought about a steady decrease in operating expenses. Since his incumbency the receipts of the offices have increased 68 per cent, the running expenses have decreased 39 per cent. Back in 1914 1915 per cent of the receipts of the automobile bureau were required in meeting the expense of operation. This year, under the direction of Mr. Hugo, the operating expenses will be less than 8 per cent. Mr. Hugo was born in 1870. He is a graduate of Cornell University and was in the law business in Watertown for a number of years. His ability was recognized by the citizens of Watertown, and for four consecutive terms of two years each, Mr. Hugo served as mayor of that city, bringing about a complete reconstruction of the city's streets, and establishing a name for himself that really paved the way to his present office. Mr. Hugo's candidacy is based on an administration of efficiency and economy in the conduct of his office, an administration well meriting the support of all persons desiring a continuance of such. FIGHTING ON THE SIDE OF RIGHT. (By S. A. Chambers—Cannon Ball.) The Negro is playing a part in this war that he has not played in any war known to the history of the country. On other occasions he was called upon to fight and he fought. In this war he is called upon to put up money to maintain the war and he is putting it up. As he is doing more he will consistently expect more at the hands of the country than he has ever gotten after any other war. However, he is not building air castles because he knows that the country is not yet fully convinced that it will have to give the Negro a "square deal." The aftermath of the Spanish-American war is fresh in our minds and a repetition of that history will meet with uncompromising resistance. It is inconsistent with good judgment, and repugnant to what men are mentally expected to be to think that the Negro will continue to fight and die for a flag that does not mean as much to him in time of peace as it means to any other citizen whosoever Be it said to the everlasting credit of the Negro he has never lifted his hand against the government; he has never aided and abused in its overthrow. And be it said to his internal praise, he has never been caught in the wrong side; and he has never been so unfortunate as to be on the losing side. On what ever side he has fought there has been victory. Capt. Marcel Knecht testifies to the fact that the French soldiers were retreating and the Huns were going right on toward Paris, until the Negro soldiers got there from West Africa and they stopped—they turned, they ran. Now, the Negro soldier from the Occident and the Negro soldier from the Orient are each imbued with the fighting spirit of their illustrous ancestors, and of history repeats itself, victory is sure on the side where they are.

JUDICIARY CANDIDATE ON WAR'S COMPENSATION The following letter has been received by the editor of THE AGE, written by Richard P. Lydon, a member of the New York Bar, who is a candidate for justice of the Supreme Court: "It must be very gratifying to you to hear of the wonderful work the colored troops have been doing in Europe. They have proved themselves to be soldiers of the highest quality, and their fellow countrymen can never forget the sacrifice they have offered in the cause of liberty and democracy. RICHARD P. LYDON. "This war has, with its horrors, brought some compensation in addition to victory in that the former racial and religious prejudices have been substantially, if not completely removed, and I trust they are removed forever. "The great upheaval in 1861 brought forth the Emancipation Proclamation and the present war has brought forth a similar emancipation for democracy. "I am a great believer in education as a means of the development of man, and your people, I have observed, have taken advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the State so that they are to be found in every profession and business. This condition, together with the removal of those prejudices which existed in former years, will present a new and encouraging picture to those brave colored troops on their return home with the fruits of victory, and will tend to elevate their race and bring happiness to every individual." Mr. Lydon is described as "a lawyer and humanist who has maintained the high traditions of the American Bar, with the insight that makes a judge great and with a strong man's sympathy that has brought comfort and courage to countless sufferers." His candidacy will, therefore, appeal to many thoughtful voters, especially as his campaign is of a non-partisan nature. WATERTOWN N Y Watertown, N. J.—There has been no service at Thomas A. M. B.
