Memphis Mayor Says No Ordinance Providing Women With Work Cards Will Be Passed.
In response to an inquiry addressed to Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, THE AGE is advised that the statement which has been industriously published throughout the South that "colored women supported by soldier husbands would have to work," is erroneous. This whole matter has been taken up, Mr. Scott advises, by the departments in Washington.

States Employees' Service advises: "That no instructions have been issued to the Community Labor Board which would give them authority to issue such statement, and that obviously there is no legal authority by which a Community Labor Board can compel workers to work."
THE Age makes this publication in response to many inquiries which have reached this office.
R. B. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has received the following telegram from Mayor F. Monteverde of Memphis:

"As they have no household duties which keep them employed at home, the natural interference is that they are loafing, or, as some persons would say, idling, and come within the purview of that Labor Card ordinance passed by the city commission on the 17th day of September, 1918, recorded on the ordinance book on the same day."
"The ordinance was fully signed by the mayor and attested by the city clerk, before it was inscribed upon the pages of the official ordinance book. This is the Work or Eight ordinance, and is in strict accord with the wishes of the Federal Government, as explained by the director of the United States Employment Service, and by the local superintendent of the service. If a person is not working then he or she is not entitled to a Labor Card, and should be haled before the police judge.

NOW FOR JUST DEMOCRACY WILSON TELLS THE NATION
Washington, D. C. President Wilson issued the following proclamation Monday. My Fellow Countrymen: The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sober, friendly counsel and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world.
TAKING ACTIVE PART IN THE UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
TAKING ACTIVE PART IN THE UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
George T. Coxhead, national executive secretary of the Colored Division, United War Work Campaign, announced later Wednesday, that reports received from various sections of the country strongly indicated that colored Americans were taking an active part in this week's big drive, and that there was every reason to believe that the fake would make a highly creditable showing. In Greater New York colored workers have been organized and are making a thorough campaign on behalf of the Young Men's Christian Association, Young Women's Christian Association, National Catholic War Council, Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association and the Salvation Army. These relief organizations are conducting a week's campaign to raise over $170,500,000.
When the United War Work Campaign opened Monday of this week and the hundreds of thousands of solicitors in every city, town and rural district in the United States started to raise the millions needed for the fund, certain true-blue American citizens were able to sit back and watch the rest of the country dig down in its pockets, their quotas in some instances doubled, tripled and even quadrupled.

JEWISH WELFARE BOARD AIDS NEGRO SOLDIERS
Although 'the Jewish Welfare Board is an organization serving primarily the needs of the Jewish soldier and sailor, its work has been freely extended to all others regardless of race or color.
At Camp Greene the Jewish Board, co-operating with the Knights of Columbus, conducts a recreation hut for Negro soldiers. A Victrola, books, writing desks and 'other facilities are provided, and in the hut the Jewish Welfare Board conducts classes and entertainments for the men.
Colored waiters replaced the one hundred strikers at the Hotel Vanderbilt last Saturday, and similar action has been taken by some of the other big hotels.
The International Federation of Hotel Employees has called out its members and the Hotel Men's Association Association is refusing the demands of the strikers, which the hotel managers say are beyond reason. Most of the strikers are foreigners, it is claimed.
The Waldorf, Claridge, Astor and McAlpin hotels are among the big hostelries to be affected.

and North Carolina Negroes.
With a friendly competition on in these states between colored and white people as to which will first subscribe their allotments, R. H. King, campaign director for the Southeastern Army Department, has wired Dr. John R. Mott, head of the Y. M. C. A., that in one county Negroes already have raised $3,250 in cash. Their share of the quota is $3,000. The white citizens in consequence have been given a new quota of their own.
A county in North Carolina furnishes the piece de resistance, however. Here the quota for the entire county was $14,000. The colored citizens imagined this sum was their share and hence have cheerfully and promptly raised the full sum that both races had been asked for.
REFUSED LUNCH
IN WANAMAKERS
Monday afternoon while thousands outside of the establishment of John Wanamaker were wildly celebrating the victory of the United States and Allies over the Germans, in a war fought to make the world safe for democracy, Mrs. J. Rosamond Johnson and Mrs. Blanche Deas Harris, two of Harlem's well-known young matrons, were being discriminated against in the Wanamaker lunchroom, conducted in the basement of the building.
After protesting to two floor-walkers against being subjected to the humiliating experience of having been refused service on account of their color, Mesdames Johnson and Harris were told that it was customary for Wanamaker to cater to colored people in its restaurants only when accompanied by white people.
Mrs. Johnson, who has previously eaten at Wanamaker's then wanted to know if it was the policy of the store to serve food to colored people only as servants and at the same time sell articles of merchandise to colored customers when alone.
This question caused the two floorwalkers to move about uneasily and look idiotic. They became more perturbed when Mrs. Johnson revealed her identity and told of how her husband, on various occasions, had sung in the Wanamaker Auditorium and rendered other services gratis at the solicitation of the Wanamaker management. Then an effort, was made to make amends for treating the two young women with such uncalled for discourse, but they refused to be pacified and (Constitute on Page Seven)
MISSOURI, WEST VIRGINIA, ILLINOIS, OHIO AND NEW YORK TO HAVE NEGRO ASSEMBLYMEN AT THEIR NEXT SESSION
The election of colored men to the Legislature in Missouri; West Virginia, New York, Illinois and Ohio is generally regarded as a distinct advance in public sentiment on the question of the Negro holding representative elective positions. Of the nine race men chosen at the polls November 5, it is doubtful if there was one who could have been victorious without the aid of white voters.
Missouri furnished the biggest surprise, the Republicans of the Fourth District sending William M. Riley, an optometrist, to the Lower House of the Legislature over his white opponent. This is the first time in the history of the State that a Negro has been selected to the Legislature.
West Virginia did itself proud by choosing three colored men for the Lower House—J. V. Coleman, H. J. Capehart and T. G. Nutter. This is said to rival the record of any State since the days of Reconstruction.
J. V. Coleman of Fayette County was formerly postmaster at Kimberly. He is engaged in the production of coal. H. J. Capehart of McDowell County is an attorney at law, as is T. G. Nutter of Kanawha, who is Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of West Virginia.
Both Fayette and McDowell counties have had colored legislators before, but at no time has there been more than one colored representative in the Legislature. The nomination and election of the three colored men is considered remarkable in view of the fact that in none of the counties which they represent is there a majority of colored voters. In McDowell, County, the per cent is thirty-four, in Fayette County, twenty-two and in Kanawha, ten.

LYNCH AT WILL IN STATE OF ALABAMA
Special to The New York Am Sheffield; Ald—Since the ending of the great world war the State of Alabama has been doing its utmost to out-Hun the Hunt for barbarity. Two Negroes have been lynched here within two days on frivolous charges.
On November 10, William Bid was taken from the Sheffield jail by a mob of one hundred white Americans and hanged. Bird was captured after a running fight and he was put to death.
It was at first thought that two colored men would sit in the New York Legislature from the Harlem District, but complete returns indicate that E. A. Johnson was defeated by his Democratic opponent, John J. Healy, in the Nineteenth Assembly District. However, John Clifford Hawkins came out winner in the Twenty-first Assembly District. Mr. Hawkins is a lawyer, and formerly was a clerk in the Post Office. He has been practicing law for about three years. E. A. Johnson was the first Negro to be sent to the Assembly serving his constituents for one term—the last session of the Legislature.
Illinois, the same as West Virginia, elected three colored men to the State Legislature. They are S. B. Turner of the First District and Adelbert Roberts and Warren Douglas of the Third District. This is the first time that the race will be represented in the Illinois State Legislature by three Negroes. All are from Chicago.
A. Lee Beatty, a lawyer, was swept into office Tuesday week as a member of the Ohio Legislature from Cincinnati by a large plurality.

REOPENING OF NEW MOTHER ZION CHURCH
The prayers of hundreds of members and worsened in the most favorable manner. Sunday was an ideal day for the reopening of Mother Zion, after the church had been closed for five months almost to the day, and alterations costing $40,000 had been made. Throngs of people crowded a very spacious auditorium in attestation of the immense popularity of the brilliant and phenomenally successful pastor, Dr. James W. Brown. From a seating capacity of something over 600, by lifting the roof, installing galleries on the sides and windows, the worshippers from inside, the church would be enabled to accommodate about twice as many more.
The success of Dr Brown as pastor of the other church is a story book. Coming to New York five years ago to take charge of a discouraged and divided membership, a hostile and critical public and a great big financial burden of $117,000 mortgage indebtedness, by his indomitable courage aid ceaseless energy he has worked a tremendous transformation in the morale of Mother Zion. From an apathetic religious organization of indifferent church life she stands today in the foremost rank one of the most sought for churches in New York. From the despondency the church now rides upon the crest of popular achievement with the reputation of being the busiest church in New York City.
To achieve this success Mrs. Brown, the pastor's wife, has been a potent factor. She has ably supported him in all his pastoral activities and she has been an able aid in bringing about this splendid result. the president of the pastoral institute has been a silent but powerful support to Dr. Brown, upon whom the pastor has often and willingly leaned. A united official board of leaders and the most industrious set of women working in anybody's church have proved equal to difficult. Bishop S. Caldwell, the presiding bishop of the diocese, preached one of his best sermons, for which he is justly famous, in the morning. The Rev. L. G. Mason, the former presiding elder of the district, preached a fine gospel sermon in the afternoon, and Dr. James E. Mason, financial secretive Livingstone College, delivered a scholarly discourse at the evening service.
Three special features marked the opening of the new church. The board of ushers, C. A. Jordan, president, presented the church with a set of collection plates. Briscoe W. Payne, in accepting the gift on behalf of the church, held speeches with choice sentiment. M. Jordan made the presentation.
Mrs. W. David Brown unveiled a tablet in memory of her sainted mother, Mrs. Margaret Garnet, who died last month. The Rev. Benjamin Judd, the presiding elder, assisted Dr. Brown in this service. George Thomas and A. A. Jordan, the Rev. A. Rector, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Mason Rector, participated in the unveiling. And the last was the presentation by Mrs. Benjamin Huyler of a handsome communion table for memory of her late husband, with the inscription, "In Memory of Me." Dr. Banks made the presentation. Billy was canonized words from his writings. The Rev. A. E. Piggott, read the obituary.
Only favorable comments were heard from those who saw the church as visitors, while every member was simply delighted. The opening of the church continues for the next two weeks. Monday evening the Rev. L. Tisby, Trisby, Walters Memorial Baptist Church, will preach and the choir will sing. Tuesday evening Dr. A. A. Crooke, of Rush Memorial Church, and his choir will furnish the sermon and the music. Dr. W. H. Brooks of St. Marks, will preach Wednesday evening and the celebrated choir deliugate at those who attend. Rev. Chuck H. Hodgson, of Sainian Baptist Church, will be present Thursday evening, accompanied by his choir, while the Rev. F. M. Hyder, D. D. of St. James' Presbyterian Church, and the choir will close the week. On Sunday Dr. F. M. Jacobs, general secretary of A. M. E. Zion Church, will occupy the church both morning and evening, and both Rev. Martha of Fourth Moravian Church will preach at 3:30 in the afternoon.
TENANTS IN HARLEM
Taking exceptions to the new scale of rents which became operative November 15, nearly three hundred tenants of what are known as the Payton Apartments met Saturday evening at Mother Zion Cemetery in 130th street and the apartment that they regard as an exorbitant increase. M. O. Nichols was made chairman.
The tenants complained that the management of the apartments had notified them that after November 15 the average increase would be $8 a floor. It is charged that even with this new schedule in force the service would not be materially bettered.
It was voted to present the matter to the Mayor, Board of Health and Tenement House Department, and $51 was raised toward legal fees. The management of the Payton properties has given out a statement that no other alternative could have been taken, there has been a marked increase in the cost of operation. This assertion can be substantiated by facts and figures, it is claimed.

Sr. Louis, Louis - Charles H. Turpin, the first Negro in the State of Missouri to be chosen for a legislative office, was elected in November. He elected constable in the Fourth District over his democratic opponent by a handsome plurality. At the last election for the office Mr. Turpin was counted out. For months he fought for a favorable decision in the courts, but ultimately lost his fight. Turpin is proprietor of the Booker Washington Theatre, and one of the most astute politicians in Missouri, regardless of color.

Together with the number previously assigned, gives a total of sixty colored chaplains now serving in the United States Army, in this country and overseas.
AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
BY DEPARTMENT CHIEFS
(Special to This New York Age)
WASHINGTON - A MELCHISE RANKIN, president of the Civil Service Commission; in reply to a question put by Congressman Jeannette Rankin, as to discrimination against those certified by the commission to the several departments, says. "The commission can merely certify an eligible in accordance with the requirements of the civil service law and rules, but cannot compel the selection of any individual eligible so long as selections are properly made from among the eligible certified. It will still require the cases of the kind under consideration is to continue to certify the name of the eligible when reached."
Congressman Rankin would do a meritorious thing by offering an amendment to the civil service act which would make it impossible for department chiefs to reject those, who have passed the necessary tests and been cited to a department "on account of race, color, or previous condition of service." The act is imperatively needed, as the discrimination the department chiefs have and now make is a real hardship which should be removed.

Zuber, for a number of years instructor in the Industrial High School at Birmingham, and who recently completed his degree in Office of Civics, is in charge of the home economics training in Dorothy Hall.
Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, in speaking of the Smith-Hughes work, said: "There is a great future ahead for the young men and women of our race who are trained in the Smith-Hughes courses, for after the war there will be opportunities of the most unusual sort. Already there is persistent talk in high offices in farming land for the returned soldiers, demobilization begins, the attention of the country is certain to be directed in a large way to agricultural matters. There will also be calls for trained agricultural experts who will be called upon to help the ex-soldier farmers to adjust themselves to new conditions. The same situation will no doubt obtain in the industries where trained industrial workers will be in great demand. We will glad to add, Mrs. Zuber and Mr. Berry to our staff of Smith-Hughes workers." The Smith-Hughes course offers teacher-training in agriculture, trades and home economics.
THANKS VOTERS FOR
SUPPORTING HUSBAND
E. A. Johnson, wife of Counselor
E. A. Johnson, who was defeated for
re-election to Assembly on November 5,
has issued a statement thanking the
colored people, especially the women, for
loyalty supporting Mr. Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson's statement follows:
"I want to thank my people, especially
the women, for their loyal support
to me, to re-elect Mr. E. A.
Johnson to the Assembly District
on Tuesday, November 5, to defeat
the Republican Party was due
to the fact that the women did not
vote intelligently, but that could not
be applied to us, for our sufferings of
to-day and those of our forefathers
have taught us how to vote. I truly
believe his defeat is our gain in many
ways, and I would rather have the
support of our people than gain the
victory.
"I want to thank the women who
helped me in instructing the voters
that I do not understand. Let me say
just heed that we not be discouraged,
for truly our defense makes us
stronger. I am very optimistic. Again
and again I thank you."

WHITMAN TO CONTEST VOTE IN NEW YORK
WHITMAN TO CONTEST VOTE IN NEW YORK
Gov. Whitman, Tuesday, through counsel, obtained from Justice Newburger in the Supreme Court an order directing Alfred E. Smith, his Democratic opponent for Governor in the recent election, to show cause why the Governor and his agents should not be permitted to inspect the ballots in New York and Bronx counties. He ordered for the inspection must be issued; it is understood the Democratic leaders have decided to fight and will take the case up on appeal as high as the Court of Appeals in order to cause delay. Justifying their conclusion that the apparent plurality which Mr. Smith seems to have is so small, errors might well be found to change the result. Republican leaders at headquarters Tuesday announced that official canvases in two counties had shown a total gain for Governor Whitman of 41 percent. At 41 percent, it would not take long to whittle down to the vanishing point the 7936 lead which is all they are willing to give Smith on the basis of their unofficial figures.
All the candidates on the Republican state-ticket were elected November 5, excee Gov. Schoeno. Schoeno candidat for Lieutenant Governor, according to unofficial returns.

MISSOURI PASTOR TO
BECOME ARMY CHAPLAIN
(Special to THE NEW YORK ANN.)
SNOJAIA, Mo.-The Rev. James M. Harris, pastor of Taylor chapel, who was notified by the war department, Washington, D. C., of his appointment Washington, D. C., of his appointment lains at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., passed his physical examination before the local board of Pettis county, and will entrain for Camp Taylor, Nov. 12. The Rev. Harris, so far as is known, has the honor of being the Negro called to the chaplaincy from the state of Missouri He is an A. B. graduate from Oskaloosa College and a theological graduate from the Gammon School of Theology, Atlanta, Ga. Besides being pastor of Taylor chapel, he is a teacher at George R. Smith college.
WHITE POLICE WOMAN
(Special to The New York Anz.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Thursday morning, of last week pedestrians passing Seventh and K street northwest, were present on duty of a traffic policewoman who was a real woman. It is something entirely new and curiosity ran high for a time. The woman is Mrs. Leola N. King, wife of Captain King, of the medical corps of the army. She has been a regular police-woman since last September. She is a white woman, of the medical corps of the police regulations, and Superintendent Pullman is satisfied that she is capable and will make good. It is interesting to note that the excuse for appointing Mrs. King and other women on the police force is given as lack of men, which may be true, but the scarcity has not induced Superintendent Pullman and his police department to employ more colored men on the force, although there has been a persistent demand that he should do so. In this, as in most public matters of employment and just treatment, colored people get what they do get by simply "inching along," and not in the regular order, as others do. But, now that we have colored ones, as what is possible for the white woman in the administration of public affairs is also possible for the colored women.
Joy-riders in the District of Columbia have received a distinct jolt by the indictment of twenty-two of them by the grand jury.

wants everybody to work or fight, and the city commission passed the ordinances, but the ordinances are not self-enforcing. The housekeepers who are trying to employ cooks would like to see these ordinances enforced, to the end that the servant problem will be relieved of some of its terrors.
"Small fines will not accomplish the desired results. A $6 fine on some of those women is a joke. If the $15 fine is not to be considered except in the abstract, the ordinance should be amended and the maximum reduced to a sum that will be imposed.
"These ordinances were passed for a purpose, but they are not serving the purpose for which they were passed, because they are not enforced, because they are not arrested in every case of loafing or idling, and a sure-come fine will have a sure-inefactory effect, and this remedy should be applied or the ordinance repeated."

THE COMING OF PEACE.
The coming of Peace the first of the week was greeted with a repetition of the prowar that ensued upon a too previous report a few days earlier. If noisy and hilarious demonstrations may be taken as the stamp of sincerity, the American people were as glad to emerge from the war, as they were a few years ago to be "kept out of war." But the rejoicing this time was tempered by the realization that the price of victory had been paid, both in life and money.
The signing of the armistice on Monday morning was followed by the cessation of hostilities a few hours later. Although the peace terms were not given, out at the time of signing, it was announced that Germany was stripped of all power to pursue the war, that the people were in revolt and the former ruler, Kaiser William, was a fugitive after having abdicated.
While all Americans may rejoice over the success that has attended the struggle for "a world wide democracy," it must not be expected that the nation will immediately return to pre-war conditions. There remains much yet to be done outside of the actual fighting to make the victory complete. Especially is this true of America, where democracy must be made more than a mere catchword.
The effects of the war will be felt in various ways for some years yet. While the manufacture of munitions may fall off, the other expenditures for the army and navy will continue. The raising of money by loans and taxes will continue as well as contributions for the soldiers' welfare. It will be some time before things will be on a peace basis again.
As for the heroes whose efforts have brought about this result, much will have to be done for them by a grateful country to repay them for their sacrifices and sufferings.
AFTER MANY YEARS.
Such Northern newspapers as the New York Sun and the World appear to be considerably worked up over the results of Southern domination in the Congress and in the Government of the United States. Indeed, the arguments and postulates laid down are reminiscent of the editorials published in THE AGE twenty to thirty years ago. At that time the Negro of the South was the sole victim of Southern domination; now the people of the North and West have felt what it means to have the South in the saddle. Hence, these tears. The intensity of the protest of the North against the rule of the South may be gauged by the fol-
lowing warning, sounded by the World, a Democratic exponent and a staunch supporter of the administration. Reforcing to the present Congress, it said:
It can deal with the North as in most of the Southern States the so-called Democratic party deals with the "nigger" - if it will. But it will write! finds on the career of the Democratic party.
The Sun is even more sweeping in its denunciation of what it styles "the Solid South oligarchy." Of course, none of the evils of Southern misrule which are detailed at length, are new to the old readers of THE AGE, but the reiteration of them by such exponents of Northern sentiment is a vindication of the warnings uttered through this paper-a quarter of a century ago. The wrongs which the North permitted to be practised upon the helpless Negroes of the South have returned to plague those who acquiesced in them.
WHITE SPECTACLES.
A certain phase of the race problem in the South, that has not received as much attention as it deserves, is pointed out in a letter recently received by the Editor of THE AGE. In it the writer says:
Our great trouble is we have a number of Negroes that see things or write things just as these men of the white race write. I am sending you an article that was printed in the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, that was written by a Negro. He is in _____ County and the white superintendent of education allows him to manage the selection of the colored teachers in a way. Just such talk as this makes the white people think that the Negroes are mostly satisfied.
The article referred to is ostensibly devoted to "Plans for the Uplift of the Negro," according to the headlines, and emphasizes the necessity for industrial training, which is right and proper as a part of the development of the race along educational lines. But the writer of the article goes further and deprecates the kind of education given the Negro after the war, on the ground that if it had been well directed, the Negro would be perfectly satisfied to remain in the South with the southern white man.
He further answers the questions—"Why does the Negro pick his work now?" and "Why does he not go to his work as cheerful as in days of yore?"—by the misleading and wholly inadequate statement: "Because his teachings were wrong."
The length to which the writer of this statement debases himself in the role of apologizing and ignoring the shortcomings of the white South can be seen in the following extracts:
The war is finished. The victory is won. Germany is defeated. Now begins the battle to see which shall triumph, the ideas which actuated Germany or the ideals which have guided the Allied nations. The outcome is not certain. The battle is at this time somewhat in doubt. If the ideals which have been the battle cry of the Allied nations for the past eighteen months are vanquished, the war will have been fought in vain.
The white man need not fear the Negro, but fear those whom he may bring here to displace the Negro. The Negro does not seek social equality nor the ballot box; nor does he seek to be the dominant factor. He seeks protection and facilities to educate and train his children for future usefulness. The Negro does not know; he must be taught. He never will be satisfied until he knows. He must be taught that the South is his home and greater opportunities await him there than anywhere in the world. He must know that the white man must know that many things done are to his interest when he often thinks they're to harm him. He must know that those invitations of the north are another instance of the spider and fly. There are twice as many Negroes in the North in jail, on an average, as there are in the South.
Already, the forces of the old order are gathering themselves together. We hear from England that Germany's African colonies will not be returned to her. This is right and just, but what is going to be done with these colonies? Are they going to be divided up among the victorious Powers? That might be an improvement upon their ownership by Germany, but it would take away very little from the old wrongs against the natives of Africa.
There are very few voices heard to-day in support of the ideals which led America into the war and spurred on the nation through the struggle. The greater part of the daily press has, ever since the first exchange of peace notes, been yelling loudly for blood, forgetting entirely the aims with which the country entered and fought the war. We have to lobk to the weekly publications, notably the Nation and the New Republic, to find any insistence upon those aims.
Now, it ought not to be necessary for an advocate of industrial education for the Negro to acquiesce in the crime of disfranchisement nor to make empty assurances that the obstacles of his progress as a citizen are among the many things done to his interest. This condoning of wrong and injustice can only react to the distrust and disavowal of the individual, who thus seeks to sacrifice the permanent well-being of the race for a temporary advantage.
Where is now the greatly needed support for America's ideals as set forth by President Wilson? The lack of that support is in a large measure the fault of the President himself; administration agencies in their zeal for unity of opinion and action in prosecuting the war have almost absolutely crushed out liberal thought and utterance, and in that way have destroyed the very strength which the Administration stands in need of.
But this is the time for the colored people of America to become articulate. Now is the time for them to proclaim and insist upon the aims and ideals of America in the war, and not only for themselves, but for their brothers in Africa and the islands of the sea and for all the oppressed peoples of the world.
It is an unfortunate phase of the situation in the South that often those who seek to bridge over the gap between the two races are driven to occupy such a position of meek acquiescence or else weak-knotted equivocation. But to the everlasting credit of the race, there remain a sufficient number of honest and outspoken exponents of its real needs and aims, who can speak with
truthful and tempered measure of the wrongs to be righted and still retain the respect if not the approbation of their white neighbors in the South. The spirit of the times demands a full, frank and free expression of the needs and aspirations of the race. No pussyfooting can be allowed to obscure the questions at issue. That the race is alive, to the situation is shown by the letter of our correspondent, quoted at the beginning of this article.
THE ELECTIONS
When the President made his appeal to the country for the election of a Democratic Congress, the most astute politicians were not sure as to what the effect would be. There were those who thought that the President's great prestige justified him in taking what all conceded to be a daring risk. There were others who felt that the appeal would bring on a reaction, and that the people would resent White House interference with their local political affairs.
President Wilson is a bold politician; he is never afraid to make a bold stroke; since he has been at the head of the country and his party he has done it, often, and has generally been successful. But in his partisan appeal to the country to elect only Democrats to Congress he made a blunder.
The proof that he made a blunder is in the fact that the country did not elect only Democrats to Congress. The President blundered in overestimating the strength of his appeal. Yet, it would be a mistake to say that the President's appeal brought about the election of a Republican Congress. There is no doubt, if the President had made no appeal or had gone before the country with a nonpartisan appeal he would have been spared a certain amount of embarrassment, but there is no reason to suppose that such a course would have resulted in the election of a Democratic Congress.
The Republican victory in both houses of Congress was independent of President Wilson's appeal, the causes which brought it about have been at work for the past five years, and especially during the past eighteen months. The main cause was too much Solid South. Not only Republicans, but almost most Northern Democrats have become disgusted with the manner in which the South has ridden rough shod over the rest of the country. This has been particularly true during the last year when the whole country has had a taste of the way in which Southern statesmen rule the South. The country has had enough of Solid Southern rule.
To get an idea of the sentiment among Democrats of the North on this matter it is necessary only to read the following paragraphs from an editorial in the New York World, one of the leading democratic newspapers of the country and the acknowledged mouthpiece of the Administration:
We shall have no more Democratic Congresses until the people of the Northern States have some reasonable assurance that such bodies will not be controlled by vengeful and parochial politicians from the South, who pose as Democrats but in fact are political nondescripts.
This Democratic Congress has at least one hundred working days in which to show that it is a Democratic Congress. It can persist in measures calculated to wipe out the States and the rights of individuals. It can reaffirm its inexecutable sectionalism in matters of taxation and otherwise. It can adhere to policies as to the press and the mails notoriously despotic and discriminating. It can deal with the North as in most of the Southern States the so-callel Democratic party deals with the "nigger"—if it will. But it will write finis on the career of the Democratic party.
If the South is to remain sectional it must beware of a sectional North.
The following paragraphs from the New York Sun give an idea of the sentiment among Republicans:
And such a spectacle of partisan, sectional punitive government was never before seen in the history of this republic, when in its departments, bureaus and offices swarmed like flies the children and favorites of that oligarchy, untrained but vain-glorious, incompetent but impudent, scatterbrained but vengeful.
The affairs of the American people were maladministered. Their simplest rights were wantonly abused. Important or unimportant, young or old, individuals were nagged, insulted and threatened by petty officeholders who were not merely drunk, but crazy, with the brief autocracy which all the United States Government assumed, while the Solid South was in the saddle and riding down everybody and everything north of Mason and Dixon's line.
We are glad that the Dixie statesmen made a good job of it while they were at it.
The war is over. Every one who saw the celebration on Monday must feel pretty sure of it. The war is over, but now the battle of ideas begins. The battle of ideas will be fought out around the peace table, and the result will not be second in importance to the decision of the war itself. It is possible that a set of ideas may win at the peace table that will almost completely nullify the victory over German autocracy.
We all remember how slow America was in moving toward the war. At first she looked at the conflict as a struggle between rival political and commercial interests, and such it was at the time. It is true that greater right and justice was on the side of the Allies, and there rested upon Germany the red guilt of having applied the torch that set the world afire; it is also true that the Allied governments were democratic, while the authority over Germany was medieval autocracy; nevertheless, at its very opening, the war was a game on the diplomatic chess-board of the world, and the prizes were political power and commercial supremacy.
Germany was brutally frank in stating these prizes to be her object. She talked openly of her right to "a place in the sun." Her statesmen said plainly, that when the European powers divided up the colonial possessions of the world between them Germany was not one of the Powers, but now that Germany was one of the great Powers, she intended to see that there was a new division and that she would secure a new division by force, by the might of her arms.
The Allied countries made no open statement regarding their aims. They were not called upon to do so. They were on the defensive, and needed only to say that they would resist Germany in her attempt to carry out her threat. But their unspoken aims were that they would hold on to their colonial possessions and their commercial supremacy, and resist Germany to the death before they would yield any part of them.
This was so truly the case that early in the war President Wilson expressed the sentiment that between the aims of the contending sides there was very little distinction.
On these ancient and basely material ideas the Germans, under their autocratic form of government and with their machine-like military system, could and did continue the fight to the end. But the free and democratic people of Great Britain, France and Italy needed something more than the slogan of "a battle for spoils" to rouse them to their heroic best. So as the struggle went on they began to discard the original ideas for new ideals. They were fighting not over colonial possessions and commercial supremacy, they were fighting to preserve what was best in civilization, they were fighting to save free and democratic government to the world.
And so by degrees the ideals on which the Allied countries fought the war were raised higher and higher. But it was not until America entered the war that these ideals, through the utterances of President Wilson, were set up like a brilliant, guiding star. America entered the war not for the expansion of territory and commerce, not even to preserve civilization and democracy. America, as her ideals were expressed by President Wilson, entered the war to bring about a new civilization; to spread democracy so that it would cover not only the peoples of Western Europe and the United States, but all the peoples of the world; to abolish the age-old prerogatives of oppression and exploitation of weaker races by the stronger; to give to each state, great and small, the right of free government and self-determination; to cut out once for all the roots of the causes of war.
TO START THE BALL ROLLING
To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE:
I read with very great interest your editorial, "Who Will Follow" and also the letter from Fort Huachuaca, Arizona, from the party whose name was withheld. I am writing to say I would gladly be the next to follow, if such a column was opened up in THE AGE, if the money would be used to test the discriminatory and unjust laws and for educational work in the South.
These were the aims with which America entered the conflict. These were the ideals which aroused the nation to such supreme deeds of sacrifice and heroism. These were the ideals which gave special hope and inspiration to the people of African blood in the United States and the world over.
When I read "Our Largest Problem," from the Daily News, Jackson, Miss, and the "Grandmother Clause," from Palm Beach Post, and compared them with the great struggle just ending for democracy, in which Negroes as well as white men freely made the supreme sacrifice, I realized that something must be done to help the South find itself. The South, bigoted, arrogant, without any knowledge of God and divine justice, is lost to all sense of right. They cannot see from the nations now that the United States is sure; that they "be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man (nation) sowth that shall he also reap." Some of the things said like "From political equality they will seek social equality," are laughable and too childish to consider, knowing as every intelligent person does there is no such thing to be the sum. They are doubtless men right, in Mississippi, who would not consider "Ye editor" their social equal.
But back to the point. Negroes must learn if we are ever to be treated like men and women to unbore our purse attire and light to others have done so. If we all bring it on, would be willing to contribute $8 or $10 a year for such a cause and certainly there are those of wealth in the race who should be willing to contribute larger sums. Just start the ball rolling. Yours for a square deal for every man

I have felt that if I cannot get along without it as we can get such news in it that we cannot get in the white newspapers. To learn of the great achievements of our people and the brave and daring feuds of our boys "Over There" is to learn that really and truly, we are a rising race of people.
As soon as my subscription expires, I will put in another, as I always want the paper in our family.

HE PASSED THE TEST.
FORT WORTH, Tex. The following incident was reported as happening at Camp Bowie. All the Negroes are tested for illiteracy and mental ability, and at the finish comes the psychological test, which is the most severe, but if one shows a workable mind, even if he is illiterate, he is accepted. A Negro was asked, "What are we fighting?" the Negro said, "Fightin' foh?" replied Rube in surprise. "Why, we are fightin' foh to kill Germans." He, too, was passed.
WILMINGTON POWDER WORKERS
WILMINGTON POWDER WORKER
The Negro as a powder maker is rapidly pushing to the front according to reports from Wilmington, Del. Until recently Negro help in this city was used almost entirely for common labor about yards, loading cars, and performing work. At the present time the labor situation in Wilmington is such that one plant is advertising for colored help exclusively, not that it intends putting up the against white help, but because previous calls appear to have drained the available supply of white men in that locality.

DR. C. T. WALKER ON WHITE MAN'S OBLIGATION Augusta, Ga. The Rev. Charles J. Walker spoke before the Protec- ministers' Association recently on "The White Man's Obligation to the Brother in 'Black'. His address, which was pro- nounced excellent in every respect by the ministers who heard it, was pub- lished in full in the Augusta Chronicle. He said, among other things:
The Negro has been pre-eminent during the past fifty years the South chief laborer. And what a laborer he has been! He has made the valley mills with the whitening bolls of cotton; he has made the hills laugh with the golden ears of corn; he has mined the coal and planted the potatoes, and built the railroads; he has done the nursing in the white man's family; he has been the cook and the house servant, the baker and the man; he has done a hooded and one things to make possible the material progress of the South land. He has been a stranger to strikes and lockouts and boycotts. He has been tractable and willing and he has made it a habit to sing as he he has worked longer hours for his pay and with less complaint than other. He has assisted in laying the foundation of the South's material and industrial progress.
"When you consider what the black man did for the white man before the war; what he did during the war; when you consider what he has done since the war; you can understand what the significance of my subjects." The white man's obligation to the black man has responded every call made by his family, country, and nation in this world-wide crisis. He has rendered every service he was called upon to do.
"In the thrift stamps, war, war stamps, Red Cross bonds, Y. M. C. A. drives, loan bonds, registration, overseas to help put down autocracy and establish universal democracy, he has never been found wanting. Only he week a Negro in Louisiana paid $100,000 worth of loan bonds. Another Negro in Louisiana paid two twelve sons in France and the father an active worker in the Red Cross service. One organization in August during the third loan bond drive paid $15,000 worth of bonds.
The White Man's Payment.
"Now, what must the white man do in paying the debt he owes the Nepalese He has done much, but there is more yet to be done before the debt will be fully paid, and in order to make this talk practical, and I trust, mutually helpful to the colored and white races I shall be at pains to indicate some list of co-operation along which both the white and black ministers should work "In the first place, I think that the white preachers ought to go among the colored churches more than they do and preach to the colored people other than they do. The need is for the part of the minister ministers to be very vital that I think that the white pastors should not at all times want to be invited to speak to colored congregations, but that they ought to seek opportunities go among their less fortunate brethren and try to help them in doing this, I think that, while they not be following the rules of doctrines and etiquette and all that sort of things they would most surely be following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, but only went about doing good, but the right opportunity of doing good The brother who waits until he has been asked to render help or service to be fellows does not, possess, I think the spirit of the true and God-called missionary.
"Not-only should the white pastor go and preach to the colored people, I think the time has come when the colored minister ought to be given an opportunity at some time to speak to his white brethren. One of the great troubles with us in the South is that we don't know each other. It would be very helpful to the colored minister the white ministers once in a while would hold a joint minister meeting with their Negro brethren. I am sure that the door of the white minister to the white minister that he will be most cordially received at any time. I think that the meeting between the white and colored pattern similar to the one being held this morning under the direction of the White Preachers' Alliance should be encouraged.
Races Should Work in Common.
"The white preachers and colored preachers should often meet together say at least once a quarter—to discuss matters of interest to the community. There is much in common that the leaders of the two races can do by together. What concerns the well being of the white race in any community concerns the color of the colored people in the community. And what concerns the well being of the colored race in any community concerns the well being of the white people in that community. Disease, like ignorance crime, knows no color line. A white man can catch influenza from a black man just as quickly as he can catch from another white man. And it is together the colored range of possibility that the colored can find easy to catch influenza from some white man who is infected.
"My brethren, you must learn the lesson that what helps one race helps the other race. And we must also remember that what hinders one race and keeps it back hinders and keeps back the other race.
"Our white preachers can render us great service if they would advise our white citizens who build and rent houses to Negroes to give them better quarterly and if our city council could be induced to give better streets in the second of the city where Negroes live. And also give them an opportunity to work on the streets, least being required to work on the streets, for our city a colored man is not allowed to drive a council wagon or cart or dig a ditch unless he is a convict."

WHITE WAR WORKER IS
TOLD WHAT THE NEGRO
EXPECTS AFTER THE WAR
(Continued from Page One)
white people, on the part of the colored people.
THIRD: That the white people were keenly interested to know as to what the hard people were thinking about; and somewhat disturbed over the fact that there was a dissembling disposition on the part of the colored people to keep the whites "in the dark" as to their thoughts.
FOURTH: That Negro preachers and speakers were encouraging their people to expect a new adjustment of things under the application of the principles of democracy.
It was generally admitted that this particular statement was a fair summary of the situation or conditions existing very generally throughout the South; and the matter assumed definite shape in the form of the question at the head of this article: "What does the Negro expect?"
The following answer was given by Mr. Hawkins:
I cannot, and do not claim the authority to speak for the twelve millions or more Negroes in America; but as one of them, I beg to submit the following in answer to the above question. For the sake of convenience and directness let us follow the style of President Wilson and reduce our reasoning to what may be termed fourteen' (14) specific articles as a basis of democracy at home, in a simple way. We want the right to vote and the privilege of exercising that right in casting his ballot, because he knows this to be one of the fundamental rights of the citizen of a republic; and that any set of people who are denied the privilege of exercising this right will be rendered powerless in helping to shape civic affairs in the community, State or country of which they are a part. Let the power of the Negro in the apportion of elective franchise to white and color alike, and the first step will be taken towards removing the Negro's feeling of mistrust.
IL. BETTER EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IN THE SOUTH FOR NEGROES. The Negro wants this because he recognizes education as the lever by which a people are lifted up. He is capable of receiving it, is anxious for it, and needs it to help make him a better citizen. He meets every requirement in the way of taxation for the establishment and maintenance of all classes of institutions. To give to the white youths the privileges and benefits they deserve and deny them to colored youth, naturally makes the Negro dissatisfied. When the South provides the same class of technical, high school, college university, and too, military training out of State funds for colored youths, as is done for the whites, then another barrier to our progress and a mutual feeling of helpfulness will be removed. "III THE ABOLITION OF THE SO-called "JIM Crow" CAR SYSTEM." Nothing has served to estrange the South from the Southern feeling of bitterness so much as the iniquitous "Jim Crow" cars. Even though the statutes of the Southern states call for "separate but equal accommodation for white and colored passengers," there is not a road in the South that lives up to the law. No difference whatever is made in the price of tickets; but all kinds of unjust and unfair differences are made as to accommodations and treatment. Negro passengers are often subjected to the most degrading and humiliating treatment imaginable. The privileges of sleeping cars and dining rooms in the South are colored passengers, but persistently denied to colored passengers. Under the system of first and second class fares, a better distinction could be made and less friction and bad feeling engendered.
IV. DISCONTINUANCE OF UNJUST DISCINCIMATORY REGULATIONS AND SEGREGATION IN THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT.—In a Republic like ours, a premium should be placed on efficiency and faithfulness to duty. This principle is signified when it comes to colored persons serving in the various governmental departments. They are subjected to humiliating conditions and discriminations; denied the benefits of promotion in line of efficient service. They have been refused assignment to work even after passing the required clinical examination and sent on for appointment with the highest rating on the eligible list.
In many cases, colored persons have been notified of appointment and, on written or telegraphic orders, come to Washington and reported for duty at a given salary named; and on appearing before the deputy secretary, and been turned away with the flimy excuse that "some mistake has been made somewhere." The Negroes feel warranted in construing such acts as a breach of trust; the abrogation of a contract; or at least a violation of the code of ethics and a gentleman's agreement. The Negroes have faith in the sense of honor and fairness on the part of the offenders.
V. THE SAME MILITARY TRAINING FOR COLORED YOUTH'S AS FOR WHITE. While we do not believe in anything like Prussian Militarism, we do believe in preparedness against invasion and mission from hostile enemies. This makes mission from hostile enemies more difficult and Navy. This means military training of a certain and well regulated standard provided for and given in government institutions, or under the direction of the governmenin. This should be applied to white and colored youths. This is not the case now; as colored youths are denied admittance to our Navy, we have the most singular method of reasoning: Demy one the opportunity of a special training to fit him for certain duties and then charge him with being incapable of performance. But prejudice never stops to reason.
THE REMOVAL OF AN IMAGINARY DRAW IN THE RECOGNITION OF FRENZY FOR NAVY AND NAVAL SERVICE. It is not, fair to the spirit of valor and patriotism to refuse

or withhold promotions to higher ranks from colored soldiers who have shown their valor on battlefield, stood every test and proven their ability to train, lead and command others, by a strict adherence to the rule of obedience and faithfulness to duty.
VII. REMOVAL OF PEONAGE SYSTEM IN THE SOUTH—In certain sections of the South, colored people are subjected to labor conditions very little removed from slavery. Advantage is taken of their ignorance and hardships are imposed to the point of suffering. They may be forced to least prestige such or to defend themselves against it, and they feel that their only deliverance is to leave the South. This is against the natural tendency and wishes of many who love their native heath and the memories of loved ones.
VIII. AN ECONOMIC WAGE SCALE TO BE APPLIED TO WHITE AND COLORED ALLEE.—The Negro's record as a good workman is generally conceded. He is willing and anxious to engage in all kinds of labor, both skilled and unskilled. But there is too much difference made in the scale of wages applied to colored persons as compared with the wages paid to white persons performing the same class of work. The living is just as high for one as for the other and a proper recognition of this fact and an economic wage scale that has no color line will go a long way in helping to dignify labor.
IX. BETTER HOUSING CONDITIONS FOR COLORED EMPLOYEES IN INDUSTRIAL PLANTS.—One of the things that contributes to the spirit of restlessness and dissatisfaction among NEGroes is, the utter disregard of the necessity of enlightened classes. This is particularly true of those who live in what is known as "quarters" on large plantations. The day has passed for the shack or one room shanty. The people want homes provided with some degree of comfort, convenience, and too, beauty. They are able to have aspirations for them and the withholding of them simply makes them feel that there is no use—no hope.
X. BETTER SANITARY CONDITIONS IN CERTAIN SECTIONS OF OUR CITIES AND TOWNS.—It is a common complaint that in too many cases, the municipal authorities pay very little attention to having proper sanitary facilities in sections where the majority of residents are colored people; thus fostering troubles and public nuisances, which could be averted shown for the interests of all the people.
XII. A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL TRIAL BY JURY. INJURY OF LYNCHING.—No people are safe in a community where mob-violence is tolerated. Violators of law should be punished, but by due process of law. The lynching spirit has become so strong in some sections that it borders on a disregard for all law, order and decency. Innocent people are often the victims of the mob; and the peace and well being of the community is seriously affected by the act. DEFINITION OF THE NEIGER'S RIGHT AND FITNESS TO SIT ON JURIES.—The jury system is one of the fundamental principles of our government and the privilege of exercising this right should be extended to capable citizens without regard to race relationship.
XIV. FAIR PLAY—Just as the Negro has been among the first to give his best, his all on the altar of his country in every struggle for the defence of its flag, so he wants and expects equal opportunity to serve in the development of his country and the full enjoyment of the fruits thereof. This he regards as but a proper, liberal and reasonable interpretation of what is guaranteed to him by the constitution under which he lives and to uphold which he sacredly dedicates his all.
In submitting the above, Mr. Hawkins concluded: "do not know how well I have interpreted the feeling of the Negroes of this country and shall be intended to have comment and criticism from any source whatever. Of one thing I am assured: is a hopeful sign when a white man speaking for his people will admit that there is an anxiety to know what can be done to better the existing conditions, and bring about better feeling, between the races. I
have tried to give a frank and plain answer.
"The time is ripe for a free and open conference between the races. Let us get together and settle our differences and settle them right. Let every Negro organization get together and find some common platform as the basis on which we can stand and feel safe and justified in our claims as American citizens.
"In this spirit the above fourteen articles are submitted."

CLEF CLUB GOES "OVER THE TOP."
(BY LESTER A. WALTON)
LAST Friday evening the Cef Club went "over the top" at its sixteenth semi-annual entertainment and dance given at Manhattan Casino, scoring one of its biggest successes in years. More than two thousand persons were very much in evidence, and there were times when one had as much difficulty in getting about the Casino as experienced in the subway at Times Square during rush hour.
The large gathering reminded many of former days when The Frogs and Cef Club were unable to accommodate all who hied themselves to Manhattan Casino in quest of an enjoyable evening on occasions when these two well-known and popular organizations acted respectively as host. Had the temperature been considerable higher Friday evening there would have been a large overflow into the grove.
Dancing reigned supreme, and those fortunate to plant their pedal extremities on the glossy surface set aside for tripping the light fantastic found keen enjoyment in this form of diversion to the dulcee strains dispensed by twenty-four picked members of the Clef Club, under the direction of E. Gilbert Anderson. For about an hour the lid was put on dancing in order to give the Right Quintet an opportunity to render-vocal selections, and James E. Lightfoot and his talented associates captured the crowd, as is usually the case.
Everybody seemed to be happy and in a holiday mood over prospects of an early peace, with the Him agreeing to an unconditional surrender. No one wore a broader smile than Deacon Johnson, president of the Clef Club, who is making a winning fight to make the organization an influential and permanent institution. The Ninety-nine Thousand Nine Hundred 'and Ninety-nine Class.
Recently in these columns I commented on the crying need of race music publishing houses, where ambitious colored writers might find an outlet for their musical compositions. While I entertained a faint suspicion that there were quite a number of "ambitious colored writers" at large, I had no idea that a plea in their behalf would provoke a bombardment of unpublished songs as well as letters seeking further light on the subject.
My chief aim in writing the article in question was to stimulate interest among colored people relative to patronizing music publishing houses conducted by Negroes so that they might grow and prosper. However, until such a greatly to be desired condition exists there will be little chance of ambitious colored writers winning recognition. Our colored publishing concerns at this time find it rough sledding and necessary to be extremely practical. It is impossible for them to be the least altruistic. It gives me pleasure to be able to state that of the many letters touching on the subject a few of the writers signified intentions of buying songs put on the market by colored publishing houses. Here is one from a prominent citizen of Buffalo, N. Y., who is one of the leaders of the religious and civic life of the community in which he lives:
Buffalo, N. Y. November 1, 1918.
My dear Mr. Walton:
You do not remember me, but
that hardly matters. I met you
some years ago, in the days of our
mutually regretted friend, the late
Joseph Walton. I sent comment about Nettro compositions meets my hearty approval, and as I have been guilty, through ignorance, jeremiah make amends and join Mr. Holland in asking you to send
me one dollar's worth of good songs
by Negro composers. * * * This letter is not for publication. I simply want to get out of the ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine class. Am sending a letter and a dollar to Face & Handy for some of the classes. Many others like myself have been erring through ignorance. Such Negro compositions as I have, caused me no end of trouble to secure. Send your list along. Best wishes for your continued success.
The author of the letter informs me that it is not for publication. I am taking the liberty of publishing it, nevertheless, but will refrain from disclosing his identity. My reason for giving the communication publicity is that I feel it will so inspire others as to cause them to get out of the ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine class.
MT. OLIVET CHOIR'S 3RD ANNUAL MUSICALE
MT. OLIVET CHOIR'S 3RD ANNUAL MUSICALE
The third annual music given by the choir of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church on Thursday evening last was by far the best of any effort of this kind which it has undertaken. This interesting entertainment was given to an audience which filled the large auditorium of the church to standing room only.
Before the chief feature of the program, "The First Wurgalpig Night," by F. Mendelssohn-Barthold, was rendered a program of individual numbers was given by various members of the choir as follows: "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," Mrs. Estelle Thompson "When I Wear Some Dome," Theodore Robinson, "Mrs. Edith Nuett," "Rose of My Heart," Miss Martha Reeaviews, "King of the Mountain," J. Henderson, "Deep River," Mrs. Richetta G. Wallace; "Vesta La Gubla," J. Arthur Gaines; "The Nightingale," Miss E. Edythe Wise; "A Son of the Desert Am I," T. Arthur Hebbons; "Bells of Youth," Miss E. Blanch Berry; "I Love You Dear," Miss M. Della Hughes; female quartet, "At Even Tide," Nime, "At Even Tide," L. C. Bonham the Misses A. M. Emanel and E. Pearl Boyer; "Sing On," Miss A. E. Manuel; "Vocci Di Primovera," Mme Marie Houston, with orchestra accompaniment.
The selections, "Walk Together, Children", "Music in the Mine" and "The Bridal Chorus" from the "Rose Maiden" were most pleasingly rendered by the choir: the choir was at its best in the rendition of the "First Walpurgis Night". J. Arthur Gaines, tenor; Mrs. Barbara Jamison, contralto, and Eugene N. E. Tompkins, baritone, being the soloists. Mount Olivet is fortunate in having the services of Mme. Marie Barrier Houston as leading soprano and J. Arthur Gaines as tenor. With the aid of these talented singers and under the splendid direction of Lorenzo F. Dyer, organist-chorister, the choir was beaten up by the forensic humanizations of the country. The choir was ably assisted by the Gilded Bond Orchestra, who volunteered their services for the occasion. I. C. U.

ST CHRISTOPHER READY
FOR BASKRTBALL SEASON
St. Christina has started her winter basketball preparations, in earnest. The "gym" at St. Philip's Parish House has completely taken on its almost nightly athletic appearance. The largest squad that has ever responded to a Red and Black Manager's call turned out last Monday night for "Rush" *Lord*. The squad of forty was composed by every player of last season from the St. C. Knights (boys of ten to twelve years) to the St. C. Cubs, St. C. Intermediates, St. C. Tigers to the famous St. C. Red and Black Machine.
Each Captain reported to Manager Lord that all of his team was ready, except Capt. Harold Jenkins, who reported that Paul Robeson, the giant "Machine" forward, was playing football at Rutgers College but would be present when big things began to happen. "Rush" Lord was full of smiles when he turned out his squat and wielded new pistols. "Jeff" A fact that impressed the manager and coach was the presence of every player who finished last season with St. Christopher. There was not a single case of a change of allegiance.
UPTON SOLDIERS TO
MEET LINCOLN ELEVEN
A big athletic event of the season will be the football clash between Fritz Pollard's famous Lincoln University eleven and Jack Trotter's Camp Upton Ponies, scheduled to be played on Saturday November 16, at Olympic field, at 2:30 p.m. in the football games held between soldier teams has so much genuine enthusiasm been stirred in the breasts of civilian supporters.
Opinion on the whole seems to be about evenly divided concerning the merits of the players, but because of Fritz Pollard's connection with the Lincoln University team's latter team's side to pile up the winning score. The soldier supporters of Camp Upton, however, make no such concession to Pollard's invincibility. They argue their Upton football outfit is made up of some of Uncle Sam's fine timber, and with the superb coaching being provided by the College man Secretary A. T. Stokes, that the question already is settled.
To date the Uptons have played eight games and won them all hands down. Pollard's Lincoln have also swpt the path clean before them. The Uptons will bring, more than five hundred soldier-rooters with them.

TRENTON, N. J.—Crowds of people, including citizens of both races, of Trenton and the adjoining counties, joined in the monster homecoming reception Wednesday evening, November 6, in honor of Private Needham Roberts, the colored soldier hailing from Trenton, member of the 369th Infantry—the "Fighting Fifteenth" of New York, who so signally distinguished himself in France some months ago by his bravery and rare fighting qualities as to win the French Croix de Guerre and a personal citation for valorous conduct from General Pershing, Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces
At a big mass meeting, held in the State Armory, Hon. Frederick W. Donnelly, Mayor of Trenton, through whose earnest co-operation the reception was conceived and made a brilliant success, presided and delivered a stirring address in which he lauded without stint the masterly courage of Trenton's hero. A stirring letter was sent by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War at Washington, who was prevented by official business from being present.
A WORTHY APPEAL
The National Race Congress of America at its last annual meeting, October 1, 2, 3, authorized that a Commission be sent to France at the earl's possible date to cheer and encourage our soldier boys over there, and to contribute in whatever way they can to their comfort and welfare. Prominent men of the ruce compose the commission.
It will require at least $4,000 to meet the expense of this commission, and we issue 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 sent to A. A. Graham, Box 177, Phoebe, Va., or Headquarters, 903 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 earnestly pray that every unit of our Congress, that the churches and judges 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. P. Williams, Texas, $100; B. J. Walls, N. C., $100; Walter Draden, N. J., $100; J. E. Bryant, Miss, $100; with many lodges pledging $10 each.
Signed—Committee: A. A. Graham, Wm. H. Stokes, John R. Hawkins, C. H. Steptoeau, H. J. Callis, W. H. Joragin, president; A. A. Graham, corresponding and financial secretary.

SIGNS OF A CHANGE IN
SOUTHERN SENTIMENT
(Special to The New York Am.)
BEAUFORT, S. C.—There is a shipyard on the river near the city of Beaufort. It is just beyond the Matkin School—a school for colored girls. The school is under the auspices of the Northern white Baptists, and most of the teachers are Northern white ladies, who are doing purely missionary work. But this shipyard is a new institution. It did not exist until recently. It was born of these turbulent war times. It was built, as is sometimes said, from the ground. It took fully six months to get ready for shipbuilding and when they were ready they advertised for hands, and, as the wages were good, mechanics came from several sections of the country. Everything worked smoothly, until Wednesday, Oct. 30, whistle trouble began.
The atory, is told on the streets of Beaufort that one of the white bosses cursed the colored foreman with an unmentionable curse, and the colored foreman deliberately picked up his tools and walked out. But the surprising thing that happened was more than thirty of the colored mechanics followed him. Late in the day they got their pay and some of them returned to their homes in other cities, but the majority remained in Beaufort. They could be seen dressed in their Sunday suits walking the streets, and gathering in groups, discussing the situation. One of the workmen told this writer that the white superintendent had sent a message to the boys that all who wished could return to work. But up to this writing there was nothing doing.
The action of these Negro mechanics is generally endorsed by the colored citizens of Beaufort. The time has come when the Negro must show his manhood and his independence. He has been free too long now and will never submit to the outrages and indignities coming from members of the white race. The Negro is going to have his rights as a citizen, even if he has to fight for them. This war may not be a bloody one—and we hope it will not be—but the Negroes of this South land are going to contend for their rights from now on as they have never done in the past. And they will not have to contend alone, for the thousands of white men and white women too are going to take a part in this fight, and will help their "brother in black." Those of us who are observing the signs of the times can see that the sentiment of the South is gradually undergoing a change, and this change is for the better. The Negro is being recognized and appreciated as never before.
TO FORM COMMUNITY CENTER. The first meeting looking toward the formation of a community center in East New York was held Friday evening of last week at the Colored Republican League, 830 Belmont avenue. The gathering was called to order by Mrs. N. B. Dodson, president of the Woman's Auxiliary of the league. Mrs. Hannah C. Smith, associate secretary of the Y. W. C. A., explained the object of the movement, and Miss Rifle Cantlon spoke of the Girls' Reserve movements. The girls sang several patriotic songs and there were several musical selections.

WORK.OF JUNIOR RED.CROSS.
HAMPTON, VA.-Miss Genevieve M. Clarke, Washington, D.C., assistant director of the Junior Red Cross Membership, Potomac Division, speaks enthusiastically of the splendid work which has been accomplished in the colored schools of Washington and other places. She says: "The real purposes of the Junior Red Cross are to develop among the children the spirit of service and sympathy for others wherever the need may be felt, to teach them lessons in the truest type of patriotism, and to provide opportunity for the practical application of these lessons. Many auxiliaries have their own pledges of service which the boys and girls have written themselves. In all the pledges, however, are embodied these three ideas: to make, to save, and to earn."
In doing their lessons more faithfully, in running errands and being of general service to a neighbor's family where the son or father has been called to the colors, in saving their pennies for those less fortunate, in assisting in food conservation cheerfully and in making articles when needed, the children are helping to do their share in winning the war.
"President Wilson said in a proclamation: 'Is not this perhaps the chance for which you have been looking to give your time and efforts in some measure to meet our national needs?'"
ROAD MUST PAY FOR "JIM
CROWING."
(Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.)
BALTIMORE, MD.-The Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway, which has been "Jim Crowing" colored passengers without warrant of law, must pay $20 damages for pursuing the practice. The plaintiff in the suit was Mrs. Julia Coleman of Washington, who was "Jim Crowed" in spite of her protest. The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled many years ago that the separate car law did not apply to interstate passengers.
A Valid Excuse.
It was nearly noon when the irate traveling man found the right clerk of the little hotel in a North Carolina town.
"I told you to call me for the 7 o'clock train. Now I have to lose twenty-four hours' time. Why didn't you call me?" "I couldn't very well," explained the clerk, cheerfully; "I just got up myself."—Everybody's Magazine.

UNION LABOR DRAWS
COLOR LINE AT CAMP LEE
(Special to The New York Am) PETERSburg, Va.—It is reported that thirty-six colored carpenters, who had been previously employed by the Wilson Construction Company of Richmond, were not afforded to work at Camp Lee, George. They were colored contented having information of the need of carpenters at Camp Lee, approached Major Scott on the subject. The government is extending its building operations in order to provide winter quarters for the troops and the labor situation in Petersburg is the same as elsewhere. So when Mr. Hurt put the subject of employing colored carpenters up to Major Scott, he readily urged that all colored carpenters that could possibly be secured, should be employed.
Accordingly thirty-six carpenters were secured by Mr. Hurrell and reported for duty, having signed up previously with the Wilson Construction Co. When 200 whites learned that the colored men were on the job, they immediately notified the Wilson Construction Co, that if the Negro carpenters were allowed to work at Camp Lee, they would quit. Effort was made to get Major Scott's ruling in the matter but without success. The carpenters remained on the job the entire day in idleness. At the end of the day they were paid and told that they could not be used. The colored carpenters are union men and contracted for the same wages as the whites; the objection was therefore based on color alone.

That for a thousand lills didst well atone,
Sprinkle us, and change us all from mere chattel.

OUTLOOK FOR BETTER SCHOOLS IN LOUISIANA (Special to The New York Times)
BATON ROUGE, La.-The State Department of Education has just issued a notable bulletin on Negro education prepared by Mr. Favroot, state agent for rural colored schools. It is accompanied by an appeal from State Superintendent Harris to parish superintendents and school boards to aid in a statewide beterment of colored schools, which is shown as necessary "from the viewpoint of our economic and industrial development, from the viewpoint of health, public safety and justice."
Louisiana has in fifteen years made splendid progress with her white schools, for which she pays more than any Southern state; but her expense for Negro education is less than any state in the country. Mr. Favrot quotes, from Dr. Dabney, the distinguished Tennessee educator, to show the economic results of education. According to Dr. Dabney Massachusetts gives her citizens seven years' schooling, and her yearly per capita production is $260; the United States, with 4.4 years' schooling, produces $170 per capita per year; Tennessee, with 3 years' schooling, produces $116 per year.
Taking $100 as the yearly production of the uneducated Negro, the bulletin gives a careful estimate of financial loss to the state through sickness and death preventable by sanitary improvement of nearly $16,000,000 per year. This does not include the sick losses of whites traceable to health conditions among Negroes. The state also bears its share of soil-devastation in the South, where 100,000,000 acres are cultivated by Negro farmers, tenants and laborers, most of whom have never been taught the rudiments of successful agriculture.
"We see the need," says Mr. Favrot, "we can stand the cost, and we know how to do the job. Do it in the interest of a more prosperous state, better health, or public safety; or do it because our sense of justice or fairness prompts us to it. Or do it, in the comprehensive plan of our President, 'to make the world safe for democracy.'"
NEW PASTOR AT BEAUFORT.
BEAUFORT, S. C.-The Rev. G. G. Daniels, who was recently called as pastor of the First African Baptist Church, was born at Allendale, S. C., May 22, 1893. He was well born, having come from a line of eminent Baptist preachers. He is the son of the Rev G. G. Daniels, and the grandson of the Rev. J. S. Daniels, both of whom are deceased. His parents moved to Blackville, S. C., when he was an infant, where he attended the public schools. In 1907 he entered the Voorhees College at Denmark, and the Schofield School at Aiken the following year. About this time he felt that he was called to the ministry, and through the advice of the Rev. S. J. Rice, he entered Morris College at Sumter. In all the schools he attended the Rev. Daniels pretty much paid his expenses by labor, and thus educated himself. At one time he was connected with the Jenkins Orphanage in Charleston, and worked on the editorial staff of The Messenger, and filled the pulpit of the Fourth Tabernacle Baptist Church for two consecutive summers in the absence of the Rev. D. J. Jenkins, the pastor. In all the schools he attended, he worked in the printing departments, and thus has made himself proficient as a practical printer.
Since the Rev. Daniels has completed his education and left school he has pastored the following churches · Morris Chapel Baptist Church near Barnwell;

ESSENTIAL INDUSTRIES FOR LABOR.
In view of the cessation of war operations and the formulating of plans for social and economic reconstruction, Prof. Jesse O. Thomas, examiner-in-charge, United States Department Office, has issued an appeal to the Negro laborer and job seeker to prepare for the scheme of readjustment. Among other things, he says:
"Burly no race has a larger percentage of representation in the industrial world, no people will be more affected, no people will be more corrupted, by whatever policy civilization may choose to adopt for its social and economic readjustment than the American Negro.
"Whatever course we may choose to follow, the man or woman, be he white or black, who entrenches himself in the industry will be given first consideration in the scheme of readjustment."
"In our own country the government itself has undertaken the responsibility of mobilizing labor of the civilian population, both men and women, transferring it from non-essential to essential industries. For this purpose it has established U. S. Employment Service offices throughout the entire country. Twenty or more of these offices have been located in the city of New York under the Department of Labor. The only office in the whole city manned by colored people is located at 2375 Seventh avenue, corner of 1939 street. While this is a district office and as such was established to serve all the people in the district, both white and colored, our special concern has been the Negro laborer and job seeker, who has a real social and economic problem, very difficult of solution.
"We appeal to all of the people in our district of all classes and conditions in our office as closing houses and a connecting link for with jobs and positions in keeping with their training and ability. The service of our entire staff is at your command. No fee charged."

A BLACK MAN ABROAD
In a recent letter from Madrid, Spain, Mr. Daniel T. Brantley relates the following incident: A few days ago while in Lisbon at the hotel where I was stopping, I met a black man (black as the proverbial ace), who was one of the most polished and affable gentlemen I have ever met, thoroughly informed on all the curricular events of the day, his man, a native of Martinique in the restitutional representative in Freetown, Africa, of a large corporation in England, and was at that time on his way to London to make his yearly report and consult with the directors of his concern. This man could converse fluently in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
A SOUTHERN VIEW OF IT.
If those Southern Senators who oppose woman suffrage could really defeat it, there might be some reason for their stubbornness, but they cannot sweep back the tide. The South is sure to have to adjust itself to the pew conditions very soon. It might as well do so now and be done with it. The only result of the brief delay our Senators will be entitled with no objection to the President, discredit our nation in the eyes of other nations, and discredit our section in the eyes of other sections.
