REPUBLICANS CAPTURE ELECT STATE OF FI WAR CORRESPONDENT LAUDS NEGRO SOLDIER FIGHTING IN FRANCE When it becomes possible for our white and colored leaders to make prophetic utterances as to the Negro's future in America with such amicable unanimity, without one discordant note, it would seem that the world war already is having the desired psychological effect in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Theodore Roosevelt is a great favorite with colored Americans, but Saturday evening he was forced to divide the palm of popularity with Private Needham Roberts, a hero of the old 15th Regiment, who occupied a seat on the platform. The young warrior was too modest to make a few remarks, but his presence in a coat of khaki resplendid with distinguished medals and service stripes awarded him by the French for exceptional gallantry in action spoke volumes. Needham Roberts Gets Ovation. When Private Roberts took a seat on the platform the audience rose en masse and cheered vociferously; when Colonel Roosevelt later made his appearance once more the audience stood and the clerics of applause were again opened wide. On both occasions everybody acted uproarously and none too dignified in an endeavor, to bid these two heroes a hearty welcome; so the contest for applause was generally, regarded as a draw. When the Colonel shook hands with the Private there was more cheering. Theodore Roosevelt and Irvin S. Cobb were not the only speakers on this unique program to command enthusiastic consideration. There were Monsieur Marcel Knecht, French High-Commissioner to the United States, Hon. Emmet J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War; Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, Department of Labor; Mrs. Adah B. Thomas, superintendent of Nurses at Lincoln Hospital and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who presided. But the talk of Mr. Cobb outshone all the rest. Mr Cobb was advertised as "headliner of the bill," in the language of vaudeville, and was a "knockout." He is one of America's greatest humorists, and his shafts of wit, interspersed here and there, invariably the bullseye. His humor is not of the subtle kind, but broad and infectious. You don't have to possess a college degree to become a willing victim of Mr. Cobb's merry jest: it is necessary to hold an X-ray diagnosis to conclude that Irvin S. Cobb's friendly declarations are all wool and a yard wide, and in no manner coated with a wester of mischiefly, Mr. Cobb frankly advanced at the beginning of this talk that he, a Scottisher by birth and a Prussian, whose father fought on the side of the Confederacy. He, too, concurred that he has been inoculated with the spice of race prejudice. Yet he continued to publicly preclaim that he had gone a change of heart. race question; after watching the black soldiers in France fight to help make the world safe for democracy. Mr. Cobb's Emancipation. When a white man born in the South discusses the race question he usually appears in a most inconsistent role. However, he always has the courage of his convictions, and does not hesitate to express them anywhere at any time. In winning over Irvin S. Cobb, an American of intelligence and strength of character, the race has won the type of man who will be just as courageous in lauding the Negro as he has been heretofore in speaking none too complimentary of him. Mr. Cobb admitted that he was very, very proud to be able to say that he had been one. of the first war correspondents to see the black soldier and observe that he acquitted himself with valor and more good nature than any troops he had met over there. It also had been equally pleasing to have had an opportunity to write for a magazine and tell a good many readers that the color of a man's skin has nothing to do with the color of his soul. The speaker declared that he was especially proud that an invitation had come to him to speak to an audience containing so many representatives of the black race and do his bit for patrotic charity. Mr. Cobb moved his hearer to laughter when he said that any person who wants to talk of the world war as a present event will have to hurry and deafening applause followed his statement that the valor of the Negro stands over there and the loyalty of the Negro at home is without question. Continuing, he said: "Your race has no Bryans, 'Jitney' Henrys and Vardamans. I have differed greatly with Theodore Roosevelt in the past, but no one can question his Americanism. If we had been prepared for war the great world's conflict would have been over long ago." The speaker made another big hit when he said: "If I was a black man and lay dying over there, I should want black hands to soothe my brow and a black man to take the last message my mother of, our country, it is our country, our country and the American Red Cross to send over zealous and well-trained colored nurses." Mr. Cobb deplored the fact that while our Government has been releasing films showing what our forces are doing in France, for some reason the pictures have only depicted the colored soldier (Continued on Page 51) CLEF CLUB SINGERS and PLAYERS FRIDAY EVE'G.

SENDING WORKERS AND RACE WOMEN IN INDUSTRIAL PLAN As the result of revolutionary economic changes in the United States, superinduced by the war, the colored girl is entering the industrial field in large numbers. Realizing that this new situation is fraught with' accompanying responsibilities and dangers, the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association is making a special effort to throw around colored workers the same safeguards as white workers. The member of Miss Eva D. Bowles' other features are introduced when de-staff entrusted with the important task desired by members of the different industrial clubs. Folk dancing, floor women engaged in industry throughout work, military drill, basketball and community singing also are taught. a native of Providence, R. L., who is MISS MARY E. JACKSON officially known as special industrial worker among colored girls and women under the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Jackson has associated with her a corps of competent workers who are stationed in large industrial communities where colored women are employed. Each week new Y. W. C. A. workers are being sent to towns and cities where race women are taking advantage of newer industrial opportunities and where it is often necessary for the mill or factory owner to be shown the necessity of giving the colored worker fair wages and hours, sanitary working conditions and preliminary training. The industrial worker seeks to show the employer that by looking after the welfare of the employee he raises the morale of his working force and improves the efficiency of his plant; that with such favorable conditions existing the employer is certain of increased profits. Bringing Workers in the Y. W. C. A. It is the mission of the industrial worker to bring the colored female employee under the direct influence of the Young Women's Christian Association. Clubs are formed which afford working girls wholesome recreation, spiritual guidance and training. Knitting, sewing, cooling, sleep and religious clubs are organized. Practical talks, social介动讲座, practical English, oral expression, conversation and letter writing are included in the intellectual program. Barcode card in a numbered case. The program includes a series of activities. other features are introduced when desired by members of the different industrial clubs. Folk dancing, floor work, military drill, basketball and community singing also are taught. It is incumbent on the industrial worker to secure employment for girls and women, which is gone about in a most thorough manner. When openings are sought special emphasis is laid on spiritual development, physical needs, adaptability, preparation, desirability, chances for promotion, wages and their relation to job responsibilities and educational value. In cases where girls have been placed by the industrial worker inquiry is made into the nature of the industry, the kind of work desired, whether day or night shifts and if rest room facilities are provided. Surveys into industrial conditions so far as affecting colored women and girls (Continued on Page Five) WORK OF WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE The establishment of clubs for colored soldiers and sailors in cities so that the men may have a headquarters when they are away from camp on leave is an important function being successfully performed by the War Camp Community Service. This work has developed greatly in the last two months and many new clubs have been organized. Clubs have been established by the War Camp Community Service in the following communities: New York, Boston, Camp Dix, N. J., Baltimore, Alexandria, Va., Richmond, Va., Petersburg, Va., Newport News, Va., Norfolk, Va., Hampton, Va., Southport, N. C., Charlotte, N. C., Asheville, N. C., Greenville, S. C., Spartanburg, S.

The policy of the Government in placing Nero battalions in each of the communities has been created a program to provide this program to War Camp Community Service in educating its solves. Most of the cities have been dealt with re- One of the distinctions to the Administration at "Washington" was the arrival of January Ford, who was defeated for United States Senator from Michigan by Light Commander Truman H. Newberry. Missouri once became the "mysterious stranger" by sending James P. Spencer to the United States Senate, who defeated Judge W. Paul the sheriff of Missouri Democrats. Republicans are certain of Senatorial seats in New Hampshire, Delaware, Minnesota, Kansas, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado and Missouri—especially New Mexico, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Nebraska and South Dakota. New Jersey went stranding for the C. O. P. by standing Governor Edge and David Bard for the United States Senate by large pluralities. Although the Democrats remain big minority gains, the New Jersey Legislature will remain Republican.

Mr. Johnson was re-elected to the Assembly from the Nineteenth Assembly District, defeating John J. Healy, Democrat, by a small margin. John Clifford Hawkins was elected to the Assembly from the Twenty-first Assembly District. The colored women voters played a big part in his victory. For the first time in the history of the State the race will be represented by two assemblymen.

MORE ABOUT BIG SISTER CONTROVERSY J. Elay, executive secretary of the Brooklyn League on Urban Conditions Negroes, has issued the follow-statement regarding the Big Sister in Brooklyn: following the article in THE AGE forwarding the Big Sister work in Brook- lyn several inquiries have come to our attention as to the real situation, and I feel the public is entitled to know the the Urban League Big Sister Club has never been dissolved. Mrs. W. F. Troman, contrary to a report which has been given out, did not form the Big Sister Club. She was appointed a Committee of the Urban League, which the club and designated Mrs. Troman as chairman. After serving a few months, she proposed to separate the club from the league. The matter was discussed at the board meeting, and a production was adopted disapproving of the proposal. The majority of the members were in accord with this idea. Mrs. Troman subsequently offered her resignation from the board, and au- tually designed as chairman of the club the board then proceeded to another meeting. Howard F. Horne, who has rendered tueses as a Big Sister for a long time, assume the responsibility. The Big Sister Club as organized by the Urban League under the chairmanship of Mrs. Horne has thirty-three members handling cases in all parts of the city, and also engaged in group work preparation to a large movement to be in operation. COLORED WOMEN DENIED WORK IN RHODE ISLAND NOUVENANCE, R.

Governor Beckman has received a formal complaint against the ban on workers and is conducting an investigation of the Defense's Committee, Council of National Defense, is trying to adjust the matter. The management of the plant says employment has been refused colored girls because white girls will not work with them. This vicious form of discrimination is being practised in Rhode Island—not Mississippi in this instance. NOTABLE BEQUESTS TO PHILADLPHIA HOSPITAL (Special to The New York And PHILADELPHIA, Pa.

As the Negro forces of the United States Army are being augmented from day to day, both here and abroad, the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities has taken cognizance of the need of having colored secretaries follow their brother fighters and bring to them the much needed consolation and comfort during their hours of trial and anxiety. Several colored secretaries are now stationed in cantonments throughout the country. The work being done by the Knights of Columbus has appealed to them to such an extent that they, and many others, have expressed the desire of going overseas to carry the work right the front lines. KC is operating in American camps and overseas under the direction of the National Catholic War Council. The work of colored secretaries in camps is provining wonderfully successful and is winning the warm approval of the Negro soldiers. From an article appearing in the *Journal of the Army* for soldiers at Fort Funston, Fort Riley, Kas, one may get a vivid idea of the appreciation the Negro soldiers have for the K. of C. The work the Knights of Columbus is doing in providing recreational buildings and proper house surroundings for the colored troops at Fort Riley, Kas, one may get a patriotic inspiration to every member of that race; it is a service that stamps it with the highest spirit of loyalty. This loyal and patriotic organization which is doing much for the welfare of the race at this and other camps is indeed it to every colored soldier. As the work in this country is being carefully carried on by the Knights of Columbus, the colored troops are participating in the welfare work that is being accomplished on the other side of the water by the organization. In fact, the Negro soldiers on the left, on the right, are under the rule that the K. of C has been forced to broaden its work proportionately with the fast growing numbers. The system, which the K. of C has worked out, allows the Negro soldier to give no other countersign than his khaki uniform to gain for him everything offered by the Knights' service. The bashesalls, tennis equipments, shower baths, books, magazines and all articles which the Knights have been distributing to the soldiers in this country as well as aboard the transports and in the camps, rest billlets and front line trenches have gone, in equal proportion to the colored troops under the organization's rule that the war service of the Knights shall be conducted without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin. The recipient be a member either of the military or naval forces of Uncle Sam's fighting organization. The K. of G is one of the seven service organizations, including the Y. M. C. A., War Camp Community Service, American Library Association, Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army and National Catholic War Council, cooperating in the drive for $170,500,000 during the week of Nov. 11-18. HALIFAX, N. Q. HALIFAN, N. S—J. H. R. Kinney, 42 Kings Place, has been confined to his room for the last few days. The death occurred at Newport, N. S., of Bernard Clements, son of the Rev. Clements, after a few days' illness of influenza. Mrs. W. J. Thomas, 19 Moran street, lies seriously ill at her house. The influenza, which has reached Halifax, has cast gloom and sorrow over the city and country. Quite a number of deaths have occurred among our people.

The death occurred at Cherry Brook at the age of 96 years of Mrs. Wise, mother of the Rev. Arthur Wise, underderator of the African Baptist Association. John Adamson of the H. M. S. Niobe was called suddenly to Toronto by the illness of his wife. She is improving slowly. The marriage took place St. Paul's Church in Eagle Harbor to Frederick镇 of Barbados.

GALVESTON, TEX GALVESTON, Texas—Galveston is a very beautiful city of a population now about 40,000 of which nearly 10,000 are colored. I hear them call Galveston the Treasure Island and in my opinion its beauty as a portage of pleasure resort entitles it to that designation. The wealth of the colored people in all is put at nearly one million dollars. The race during the past year contributed over $10,000 to the American Red Cross and bought nearly $50,000 worth of Liberty Loan bonds. The commerce of this past year is being well taken care of by the laboring element among both white and colored. The army draft movements have called nearly 600 of our men. The laboring ranks have been reified as the National Army takes some out. Our labor organizations are on the alert and construct greatly to this city's progress. The army among our people here represent anglers about $100,000. Church property is valued at over $150,000; school property nearly $75,000. Editor Robert E.

Scott. DISCUSSES GERMAN COLONIES Special Assistant to the Secretary of War Suys International Commission Should Govern in Future—Thiaks Negro American Should be Member of Such Commission. Henry E. Scoff A notable expression was voiced by Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, at the great meeting held Saturday evening, November 2, at Carnegie. Hall, under the auspices of the Circle for Negro War Rep. Inc., who stated that he was op- HON. EMMY Special Assistant to posed to the return of the German Colonies in Africa to Germany, and calling for the appointment of an International Commission to hereafter govern them. Mr. Scott advocated that on the commission should sit a representative of the 12,000,000 colored people of America, give voice to the inarticulate yearnings of the oppressed and pillaged peoples' of German West Africa. At this meeting Irvin S. Cobb spoke on "The Negro Soldier in France." Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Monsieur Marcel Knecht of the French High Commission, Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economies, Department Labor, Dr. W. B. BauDs presided. In part Mr. Scott said: We have come here tonight to hear one voice—to greet one person alone—Mr. Irwin S. Cobb, who recently told the story of Young Black Joe who represents our race at the grim, bloody battlefront in France. The midden僳 that comes to my lips is an expression of ungrudging gratitude to such an Irwin Cobb and Harrison Rhodes who have told the story of our race's participation in this great war in publications read throughout the nation, that those not informed of the large and important part we are playing in this war at home as well as on shell-carried battlefields of France may no longer claim lace of definite and precise lewdness. "Extentually this war must come to those with Germany beaten to her knees, or else stung for the only peace the world will grant her, a peace humbling and crushing to unrepentant anarchy. Black Men Have Fought With the Allies. We, the black people of America, and we, the black people of the world, have fought side by side with the African nations our hearts and minds, like all the other racial groups of the world, aquiver and expectant. We can look forward to the destruction of Germany and injustice throughout the world. The first test in this program will come at no far-distant date. The principle of self-determination of smaller nations and weaker peoples must not, in the treatment to be accorded to the future the natives of pillaged Africa: Are these men who have suffered every possible German atrocity to be further pillaged; are German colonies in Africa to be turned back to Germany that the horrors of the past may be revisited upon their defenseless hands? To one who has read even in part of official report of Edmund H. L. Lowe, Secretary of the Interior for the African Union, the suggestion is admirable; it is revolting. This document to which I have referred is a backed by sworn statements of more chiefs and European residents of more abominable practices. It tells the reports of the enslaving of men of the虐猖ing of women, of hangings and floggings and of manslaughter. Major crimes have been treated with complete extermination. Togoland, where oppression was easily rife, the population fell, or was freed from 2,000,000 in 1894 to 1,500,000. 000 in 1913—a decrease of a million souls in less than twenty years. "May we not, in this solemn hour, register our fervent protest against any contemption of restoring to Germany these African colonies; she has so long oppressed and betrayed. Is it too much J. Scott the Secretary of War. to say that, to restore these helpless black men to their former oppressors would be a terrible betrayal? Has not the hour come in which men, even of Darkest Africa, may cry out for the right order, ordered by the king? May they under the tattered and guidance of enlightened men rather than under oppressive and cruel masters? "Black men of America and of Africa have helped to rout and humble the Hun. When civilization all but toottered to its doom Senegalese, Algerian and Soudanese troops stayed the Hun and saved civilization to the world. Soon around the peace table representatives of the nations of the earth are to gather. France and England in their hour of need have gladly accepted the allegiance and the assistance of tribes from Africa. A great and responsible duty now devolves upon the nations of the world to see that these poor people, along with other oppressed peoples, shall not be again placed under the iron heel of cruel and malignant oppressors. In truth the hour has come, in my opinion, when the world should declare that not only are these colonies not to be turned back to Germany, but to no other nation as well. "May we not, brothers by racial ties and blood sympathy of these African peoples, speak for them and call for their freedom, for their liberation, for the self-determination of their destiny, and for the appointment of an International Commission which shall in the future govern these colonies, and upon which commission there should sit a representative of the 1000 people of America who represent the largest group of forward-looking black people in the world, to voice the articulate yearnings of that host of exploited and illfated people. "In conclusion, let me say—till victory and peace come we shall continue to pledge to the President of the United States and the National Government all that we have and that we are, whether at the bleeding battlefront or wherever faithful service shall count most toward winning the great war in which we are engaged. We are pledged to do everything that will help and nothing that will hamper our Government in winning this war for the honor, the independence and the sacred principles of our country, and the ultimate freedom of all mankind. We can pledge no more our country expects no less. "May I paraphrase an expression of the honored gentlemen who serves his country in this trying hour as Secretary of War. In this hour of universal sacrifice, we have had, and we are having the heroic opportunity to vindicate again in the eyes of the world the wholesomeness and beauty of the principles upon which American liberty is based. This war which, we trust, may soon be brought to a close will free France and Europe and, in addition, under God, it will free America too, and these men of ours who are fighting and bleeding and dying on battlefields in France have found compensation in knowing that they are helping to make men free every where, and that the blessings and rewards of a finer civilization will be especially theirs, since they have so greatly contributed to their preservation. ```markdown ``` Amusement Furnished Our Boys at Camp Dodge, Iowa, Under the Direction of the War Camp Community Service. A Dining Room of Army Club Conducted Under War Camp Community Service NEW HAVEN, CONN. NEW HAVEN, Conn.—The recital of Mme Laure Belle McCoy, given at A.M. E. Zion Church on October 29, was well attended and proved a great success, although a convalescant from influenza, Mme McCoy deserves much praise for the hard work and program. Her intercession of Lewis' "Progress of Madness" and Ella Wheeler Wilcox's "Salvatage" proved her to be a dramatist and impersonator of unusual talent. Her deliverance of Vicker's "Dead Man's Gulch" and Burke's noted negro poem, "White Men," evoked much commendation. Mme McCoy was accompanied by Prof. Randolph Jones and was ably assisted by Johnson's orchestra, Prof. Noble Ross, leader. The selection by the string quartet and Prof. Ross' Amusement Furnished Direction of sold were highly appreciated. The Ningbo Lions Society met in St. Luke's parish house Sunday, November 3; and were addressed by Mme. L. B. McCoy on "Negroes and Education." and Mme. Hemings on "Dawn of a New Era." BEAUFORT S.C. BEAUFORT, S. C.-Dr. C. S. Sidson, one of the popular physicians of Beaufort, has been on the sick list during the past two weeks, but is rapidly improving. Dr. N. J. Kennedy attended him. The South Carolina conference of the M. E. Church, which was to have convened at Cheraw Nov. 13, on account of the Spanish influenza has been post- Dining Room of Army Club poned until Dec. 11. This will certainly meet the approval of the ministers who are members of that body, for the reason that nearly all the churches of the state have been closed during October and all the collections are way off. But having a month longer to work, it is likely that thousands of dollars will be gathered in, which otherwise would not have been. This conference has lost by death during the year some six of its members. Two of them were victims of the Spanish influenza—the Rev. R. L. Brower of Columbia and the Rev. Lawrence Rice of Midway. Both of these were young men of promise and were sick but two or three days. Both leave young wives and little children to mourn their sad taking away. BRIDGEPORT. CONN. Bridgeport, Conn.—The Spanish influenza is still at a high rate and the undertakers are getting all the work they want to do. The Rev. Clarence Van Buren, pastor of A. M. E. Zion Church, had just completed the new arrangement of his pulpit and choir on Friday night when his oldest son passed away without being seriously ill, more than two hours. Much sympathy is extended him and his bereaved family. WORK OF WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE creational facilities suitable for many of the colored soldiers." The War Camp Community Service has been confronted with the necessity of adjusting colored soldiers from the North to Southern cities and vice versa. The organization has met with a good degree of success in handling the ed Our Boys at Camp Doo of the War Camp Commun situation and is providing the men with the forms of recreation which they most enjoy. Several of the Southern cities have formed parallel committees for W. C. C. S., one being for work among the white people and the other among the colored. The colored committee works along the same lines as the white committee and practically all the same activities are conducted. In all the cities the effort is made to have the people of their own race undertake the management of the work as well as the actual entertainment of men. The supplying of a club seems to be the best single answer to the problem of recreation for colored troops. Not only does it serve as a headquarters for ub Conducted Under War them but also most of the activities for the men seem naturally to center about it. Des Moines was a pioneer city in establishing a club for colored soldiers. establishing a club for colored soldiers. Prominent officers of the War Camp Community Service are: Joseph Lee, president; Myron T. Herrick, chairman of the National Finance Committee; William B. Joyc vice-chairman; John D. Rockefeller, Jr., member of the National Finance Committee, and ex-Senator W. Murray Crane, member of the National Finance Committee.

SENDING WORKERS AMONG RACE WOMEN (Continued from Pang One) have been made in Louisville, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Detroit. In New York an intensive survey is being made by two investigators which is financed by the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. Here are a few interesting facts and figures given out by Miss Jackson which give some idea as to the big part the colored female worker is playing in the industrial field: Two workers have been sent to Lynchburg, Va; and are spending their time among the girls in tobacco factories; at Winston-Salem, N. C., at least five hundred race girls are working in fifty-eight large tobacco factories where workers are prepared to enter the field; at Nashville, Tenn., 1,500 girls are employed in the field; at Penn State where was placed among them the first of the month; at Detroit at least two thousand girls are employed in ten factories. A worker is on the scene and expects to open the recreation center soon; about three hundred girls are employed in a uniform factory at Charleston, S. C., and two workers are on the field; Hopewell, Va, and Penniman have recreation workers; recreation work is being acceptably performed in Columbia, S. C., where ```markdown ``` A SUBWAY WORKER colored girls are employed in a knitting mill; a new building for the large number o cored of women doing industrial work in Washington, D.C. is to be constructed as a model community, recreation. Work Thoroughly Developed in St. Louis. At St. Louis work for Industrial girls has been very thoroughly developed along organization and placement and the industrial worker has been appointed a member of the advisory board for the Federal Employment Office'in St. Louis. At Louisville where about two thousand colored girls are employed in factories, the Y. W. C. A. has secured a large house for a social center. The other workers run across some agreeable surprises in taking a survey of the community. For instance, the St. Louis worker writes to Miss Jackson as follows: I am dropping you a line to tell you of a new and novel industry that just opened for the colored women this week. Rumors of a saddliery company which wanted colored women had been in circulation for some days. I went out to investigate to-day. I found the white foreman with six colored women teaching them to cover the saddles with hide which had been soaked. *** The women had been working for two days. In the beginning they can cover two a day but the foreman says after they learn they will be able to cover four or five. Miss Jackson-believes strongly in encouraging leaders among industrial girls and says if our girls are to attain the highest efficiency there must be a proper incentive. In speaking of the industrial movement among colored women Miss Jackson said: "The greatest National problem during the war as well as after the war is the Labor problem. Production is now the nation's most urgent need and women of every nationality are patriotically responding to the call to fill the places left vacant by the millions of men at the front. Colored women whose lives heretofore have been bound by the limitations of domestic responsibility have found an open door to a great new world effort. "One is forced to look beyond the mere accumulation of dollars and cents (the price of labor) and seek the bigger principles involved. What is the measure of a colored woman's responsibility at this hour? Is it not identical with that of the white woman—the giving of herself where she is most needed and can do the best and most effective service? "We are safe in saying that the colored woman may be found in the following industries in groups ranging from five to fifteen hundred; knitting mills, clothing factories, soldiers' uniforms, underwear, embroidery, corsets, buttons, feathers, flowers, fur dyeing, dolls and toys, pasting and lining trunks, brooms, bag, cigars and tobacco, chemical works, candy, nuts, bottling, packing houses, steam laundries, brick yards, cooperage, saddlery, salvage companies, lumber yards, roller mills, elevator women and porters and at least two thousand in ammunition centers. "A-glance at the list of occupations reveals the possibilities of hazard of which, as a class, the colored women have known, nothing! She taught—she must be awarded plitation. She must be appointed. The paramount question questioned to her is: are you making sure must be recognized that her future portunities grow inevitably out of present responsibility as a worker must see through the present future hope of economic freedom and industrial democracy. We must cease therefore, to insistently size training, efficiency, co-operation and standards. A large appropriation to further work will be made from the United War Work Campaign to be conducted during the week of November 11. PETERSBURG, VA. PETERSBURG, Va.-Miss Hattie Battie who has returned from Washington, D. C., intends entering Tucson in January. Mrs. Margaret E. Battie, returned to the city after spending the summer at Asbury Park and the Adirondacks. Dr. Robert E. Battie, president of the local branch of National Advancement Association, was in New York City. The students of the Bishop Pound Difinity School volunteered to serve orderlies in the influenza epidemic and the hospitals of the city. The dispensing of ardent spirits,presumably to influenza patients, was put in the hands of the physicians of the city, but it is paid that not much reached those for whom it was intended.

"While I think the colored soldier should be portrayed as light-hearted and gay, let it also be shown that he is doing just what the white soldiers are doing—doing his duty as an American and a soldier, who goes over the top with a smile on his face and sand in his craw. I am speaking as a matter of justice, not todying, not making a political speech or talking social equality," he exclaimed with emphasis. "I saw the Negro do everything except complain," was one of the speaker's witticisms. Praise for the Old 15th. Colored members of labor battalions were highly praised by Mr. Cobb, who said these men have done wonderful work and are serving their country as valiantly and doing as good a service as those fighting in the trenches. The first face you see when you land in France is a black one, and stereodre regiments from America have handled tons of supplies with such dexterity as to amaze the French people, deocrd the speaker. Mr. Cobb was profuse in his praise of the 369th, formerly the old 15th from New York, which has seen more fighting than any other colored regiments from the United States. For smartness in drill, good nature on march and courage in fight, there is not a regiment to surpass it in his opinion. It was Mr. Cobb's good fortune to be with the old 15th when Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts distinguished themselves by putting to flight tweaty-od 'Germans, and his graphic description of how the two colored fighters killed, wounded and put the enemy to flight was listened to with marked attention. Henry Johnson enjoyed the distinction of being the first private soldier of both the American army to be decorated by the French for extraordinary valor. The old 15th has coined a pet phrase which is used when the boys go over the top. It is: "Come on, let's go" and has become popular with the white soldiers. A letter was read by Mrs. Cobb just received by the mother of a white officer with the old 15th. The communication told of the brave stand of the Second Battalion against German machine guns during the great October offensive. Eulogistic reference was made to the many black boys from New York who had met death unfinishedly, and had nodded his interesting talk by saying: "I will not believe the Negro will be denied credit South or North for the big part he has taken in the war. I am sure that in the future a term, sometimes spoken in derision, often in jest, n-j-g-e-r, will not spell anything but true American." Reosevelt Addresses Colored Americans Colonel Roosevelt put in his appearance near the close of Irvin Cobb's talk. I much prefer to see this great American in fighting togs, teeth a glistening and issuing pronouncements calculated to 'strike terror to the heart of the opposition. Saturday evening he was less belligerent; in fact, he struck me as being mentally mild. Instead of uttering epigrams with characteristic punch aid vigor he assayed to calmly give colored American wholesome advice. The Colonel referred to the excellent record made in France by the Negro soldier and believes that service of this kind has a peculiar way in winning the confidence and respect of his fellows. He expects, as the result of the great war intended to give greater justice internationally to mankind, that we shall apply at home the lessons we have been taught. Colonel Roosevelt spoke of the kindly interest he has always shown in the colored American and promised to serve them to the best of his ability in the future. He made mention of recently giving, colored women an equal share of the Nobel Peace Prize money for war relief. The Circle for Negro War Relief, Inc., was complimented on the dignified manner in which it presents its aims to the public, commenting in particular on the statement of the organization which reads: They (the Circle) also like people at home to know that such an organization, although started and maintained with a friendly co-operation from white friends, is intended to prove to the world that colored people themselves can manage war relief in an efficient, honest and dignified way and so bring honor to their race. Said Colonel Roosevelt: "With such dignity and self-restraint as manifested by the Circle for War Relief, its success should be assured. I say with all confidence we work which colored men can do is to personally help their race to improve." The Colonel declared that he believed in treating each individual as his or her conduct requires, and was cheered when he said: "I shall do all I can to aid you to bring nearer the day of the square deal. This is only going to come gradually. I say give the Negro respect as a matter of right": Marcel. Knecht Optimistic As to Negro's Future. Monsieur Marcel Knecht, an able representative of France, who already has endangered himself to the white and colored citizens of America, agreed with Colonel Roosevelt that the timely entrance of our troops in the great war spelt defeat for Germany. Monsieur Monsieur said that after the war the Neberg had to take larger measures of justice, and he spoke feelingly of the strong bond of friendship existing between this country and France. Kimott J. Scott, the first speaker on the program, denounced the atrocities committed by the Germans in Africa, stating that in Togoland the population was reduced from 2,500,000 in 1894 to 1,500,000 in 1918, due to German oppression. Mr. Scott advanced the idea that an International Commission be appointed to govern these colonies in the future and that a representative of 12,000,000 American Negroes should sit on such a commission. Mrs. Adah B. Thoms stated that not a colored nurse has been called to do wartime service, but that they are being called in large numbers to fill the places of white nurses now overseas. Never in the history of the colored nurse has she been in such great demand, Mrs. Thoms said. Despite the disinclination to accept colored nurses for war, work, Mrs. Thoms said, the Germans disorganized, for they are looking forward to the day when they will work side by side with the American Red Cross and all other organizations. Dr. George E. Haynes made known in his talk that the problem of a better adjustment between the colored wage earner, white wage-earner and white employer was being brought about, and that important conferences are being held by representatives of both sides to stamp out racial misunderstandings antagonisms and suspicions. Dr. Robert R. Moton, who was to have made one of the principal addresses, was unable to be on hand, a railroad wreck preventing his appearance. A high class musical program was furnished by the 15th Regiment Band, New York Guard, Lieut. Fried Simpson, leader; the Fisk Jubilee Quartet, Roland W. Hayes, tenor; Mrs. Daisy Tayple, accompanist, and J. Rosamond Johnson. The Fisk singers were particularly pleased and concerned to encore them. Mr. Hayes was in good voice and easily lived up to his reputation as the race's leading tenor. The 15th Regiment Band is rapidly establishing itself in favor among music-lovers. The audience was a representative one and included members of both races. Nurses, in their white uniforms, acted as ushers, and they made quite an impressive showing. Some nice things said last Saturday evening at Carnegie Hall, but the nicest of all was the statement that after the war the Negro over here will get more than a sip from the cup of democracy.

HAYNES SPEAKS ON NEGRO WAGE EARNER In his talk Saturday evening at Carnegie Hall at the exercises for the benefit of the Circle for Negro War Relief, Inc., Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, U. S. Department of Labor, spoke on behalf of the soiling millions of Negro wage-earners. He said that although the Negro wage-carner had figured very little in the public eye, hundreds of colored men and women had been working faithfully in cotton fields, in mines, ship-yards and in factories patriotically as the Negro troops have been helping to chase the Germans out of Belgium and France. continuing the speaker said in part: "There are three facts that have been kept in mind in the efforts to increase the morale and efficiency of Negro labor for the winning of the war: First, that the Negro wage-carriers are ready-to-shoulder some of the responsibility for the arduous of the farm and the factory, and when given a fair chance and sympathetic guidance in making the labor program they will respond enthusiastically, second, practically all employees of Negro labor are white employers and many fellow workmen are white workmen. Out of the second fact develop racial misunderstanding, prejudice, antagonism, fears and suspicions. This is the third fact of the situation. "To meet these conditions, the Department of Labor has held a number of State conferences with representatives of Negro wage-carners, of white employers, and whenever possible, of white workmen. At these conferences the problem of better adjustment have been discussed and plans of co-operative effort of white and colored citizens for 150 per cent labor efficiency in war work have been made. As a precaution during the past five months Negro Workers' Advisory Committee both State-wide by counties and in towns and cities have been formed or are being formed in six Southern States and five Northern States. "For instance, in Opio, beside a State advisory committee there are local advisory committees in twelve of the principal towns that have a considerable Negro population. In Virginia committees have been formed in forty-six counties. Co-operative white persons serve on those committees, and jointly with the Chairman of the Commission of Defense, the Chairman of Commerce and the representatives of organized labor. These affiliations vary, of course, with local conditions. "Competent Negro men who have had experience dealing with Negro wage earners, have been appointed as supervisors of Negro Economics in nine States, to direct these co-operative Negro Workers' Advisory Committees and increase the morale and the efficiency in the Negro wage earners. These committees have already done some very effective work in many communities. "In Jacksonville, Fl., they have helped to train colored women to take the place of men in jobs declared non-essential in several places in 'Ohio' there helped the U. S. Employer community承办 war work industries. In a county in Georgia they advised farmers about adjusting the price of cotton picking, so as to entice pickers. In numbers of localities they have held mass-meetings to inform colored people on war labor needs. "Some State-wide campaigns are now being undertaken along these lines. Large numbers of letters of approval of this work have been received from Negroes and from employers." A WORTHY APPEAL. The National Race Congress of America at its last annual meeting, October 4, 2, 2, authorized that a Commission he sent to France at the earliest possible date to order and encourage our soldier boys over there, and to contribute in whatever way they can in their comfort and workface. Prominent men of the race compose the commission. It will require at least $4,000 to meet the expense of this commission, and we hope this appeal to the public asking for contributions toward this fund. All checks or money orders for this purpose should be made payable to A. A. Graham. Corresponding Financial Secretary, who will promptly acknowledge with official receipt. The money should be to A. A. Graham, Box 177, Peabody, Va., or Headquarters, 983 Third street, N. W., Washington, D. C. In order to get the commission over there at an early date, it should be in hand by December 1, 1918. We currently pray that every unit of our Congress, that the churches and lodges throughout the country and every one interested in the welfare of our soldiers in France, will respond to this appeal at once. We call upon pastors especially to put this matter before churches. The following amounts have been pledged: R. F. Williams, Texas, $100; B. I. Walls, N. C., $100; Waltor Draden, H. J., $100; T. B.
