LOUIS ON BUSINESS MAP "Y" SECRETARY TELLS OF COLORED TROOPS SPIRIT OF 'BUFFALOES' AS OBSERVED IN THE FRONT LINE TRENCHES The entire 92nd Division of the American Expeditionary Forces is now called "The Buffaloes," according to Secretary Benj. F. Selldon of the Y. M. C. A., who is an active worker among the soldiers in France. In a personal letter to the Editor of The Age, Mr. Seldon gives an interesting recital of the activities of our officers and men, including such organizations as the 367th Infantry, 351st Machine Gun Battalion and the 349th Field Artillery. These soldiers were always found resourceful and tactful under the most trying conditions. The letter follows: It is now 5:30 A. M. and after a good night's sleep I have determined to write to you at last. Fritz did not disturb us last night owing to the fact that the night was too dark. The night before he dropped quite a few bombs not a very long distance from us killing some 35 people. He dropped four that he thought was on us, but they all missed their mark by 400 yards. Thanks to our anti-aircraft guns—for they certainly peppered them and made them the job, and gave not hundreds but thousands of lives. If you want to hear a firing band you ought to listen to an airplane plane, plus an anti-aircraft attack, and a barrage going on at the same time. We have gotten so accustomed to it that we expect it nightly and do not feel the least bit frightened when they are flying over us. the following: We have lost some men but most of them were by sickness and accidents and a few under fire in the trenches. The officers of the 367th Infantry who have done especially good work are: Lieuts. Lane, and Weavery, who were the first to go over the top in our unit. The former especially did fine work. Lieut. James Scott is in command of the Headquarters Company. Lieut. Howard C. Gilbert is in command of Company "D," which has become a fine fighting unit under his leadership. Captains Cherry Russell, McCall, Campbell, Morris and York, who has been gassed, have all made good and have proved their worth and efficiency. Lieuts. McKaine, John White and George Windsore are on the job night and day keeping the men fed up and well clothed. Captain Williams is now Munition Offi-(Continued on Page Two) NEW PHASE OF V. W. C. A. WORK STARTED Vivienne Ward-Stokes has been given charge of the Room Registry for the housing of girls and women for the Young Women's Christian Association. Well, what about the Buffaloos? Don't forget the entire 92nd Division is now called the Buffaloos. And you may be sure that the whole Division is doing its bit nobly. We have now been at three fronts and are now ready for another. Let me express it by the words of Lieut. Greentea, our Regimental Gas Officer, "Peace would be as well to me as snow in August if it came before we can get in the Metz drive." This is the way we all feel about it: Our soldiers have no dread or fear of the trenches and they are all anxiously and cheerfully willing to do their part when their turn comes. Coming in from an outpost one night where Fritz had just rained murder and hell, I passed a sentel who seemed to be well protected from the enemy fire. I said to him, "Well my boy, you are pretty comfortably fixed back here." He said, "No, sir. I am not contented in the least. I want to be with my company for when they get orders to go over the top, I do not want to be left behind here." The tone and manner in which he said it made me feel somewhat abashed. My work has carried me in every back line trench that our 367th boys have held and fought in and I can never tell you how many happy and encouraging experiences I have had. We thought we knew the better side of the Negro back home, but we did not. It seems to me that it takes the worst conditions in life to bring out the best that it in him; for instance, I have been with him in trenches, over dangerous roads and bridges when it rained shells every minute; I have been with him when he was cut off from food and supplies; have seen him in mud and water above his ankles and I have seen him possessed, but always manifested contagious disposition. His wit and sparkling humility strikingly noticeable, for no matter how bad the situation, he is ready with his salve of humor to allay the pain. In short under all these trying conditions I have found him resourceful and tactful, long suffering and farsighted, coolheaded and patient when the occasion demanded and when necessary, doing as the Egyptians of old making brick out of straw. Our officers have done splendidly. Lieut J. T. Bullock was the first officer of the 23rd Division to lay down his life for his country. I saw him a few hours after a shell had hit him—dead and wrapped in an American flag, a police corpse to look upon, because he died as he had lived, true to his trust, his country and his God. I knew him well and to my mind he was one of the finest combinations of a gentleman and a soldier I have had the opportunity to know. Colonel Moss told me the next day that he was proud of him and his record because he was found at the very spot where assigned and the shelling was very fierce that night, but he sturk to his post. How many things I would like to tell you, but must be contended by stating the following; We have lost some men but most of them were by sickness and accidents and a few under fire in the trenches. The officers of the 367th Infantry who have done especially good work are: Lieuts. Lane, and Weavery, who were the first to go over the top in our unit. The former especially did fine work. Lieut.

WORK STARTED Vivienne Ward-Stokes has been given charge of the Room Registry for the housing of girls and women for the Young Women's Christian Association. This is a new phase of the Association's work, which is the outgrowth of some of the problems of war activities. Mrs. Stokes has the distinction of being the first colored woman assigned to this work; which is already being carried on in white communities. Miss Eva D. Bowles, executive of colored work, selected Mrs. Stokes because of her experience as a social worker and her knowledge of housing conditions among Negroes in New York. An investigation of homes already registered with the Y. W. C. A. will be made before applicants are referred. Special attention will be given to placement of young girls in homes where the moral, social and sanitary conditions are verified. Persons with accommodations are asked to register at the Y. W. C. A. 121 West 132nd street. Mrs. Stokes was with National League on Urban Conditions for five years at secretary of the Columbus Hill branch, resigning MRS. VIVIENNE WARD-STOKES to accept the position of examiner in charge of Women's Division, Department of Labor, which position she resigned to take on this work. She was born in Raleigh, N. C., and attended Lawrence High school at Lawrence, L. I. She took a special course in Columbia University during 1913-14. 10 Agents and As Christmas and New Year's Day As Christmas and New Year's Day, all news letters should be sent so as to reach THE AGE on the Monday preceding, so as to insure publication in the issues of those weeks. National Advancement Association Puts the Matter Up To Director General McAdoo in a Telegram---Also Advises the President. The action of Regional Director R. H. Aishton, in his order addressed to the Northwestern Railroads, on November 13, restricting the employment of Negroes as firemen, hostlers, switchmen, brakemen, etc., has been put up squarely to Director General McAdoo for explanation. The following telegram sent to the Director General November 29 tells the whole story: The National Association for Advancement of Colored People is in possession of a copy of order of Regional Director R. H. Aishton of November thirteenth, addressed to Northwestern Railroads on subject of employment of Negroes, in which Director Aishton says to follows: "The conditions under which be extended beyond the practice herefore existing, and you are cautioned against employing Negroes for this class of service or in any service not heretofore open to them nor to take the places of white men." On behalf of this Association, with one hundred and fifty branches and forty-two thousand members in thirty-eight states, many of these branches being in Northwestern states and directly affected by this order, as well as on behalf of the colored people generally, we request full explanation of order discriminating against employment of Negroes in so sweeping and flagrant a manner. This order, unless repudiated by you as Director General of Railroad Administration, clearly places the United States Government in position of approving race prejudice and denying opportunity for employment to a class of citizens on ground of color. To-day's newspapers tell story of entire Negro regiment, for gallantry in great offensive in Champagne in September and October, 1918, being granted Croix de Guérre as result of French army order. While France is thus honoring American soldiers shall America deny to their fellows at home right of employment in industry now under government control and supervision? A copy of above telegram was also sent to President Wilson with the following appeal: The National Association for Advancement of Colored People has addressed following telegram to Director General of Railroads William G. McAdoo and believes this matter is of sufficiently grave concern to warrant your attention. We appeal to your high sense of justice for proper consideration of this important matter. 15TH REGIMENT OF FOR BRAVERY IN The Age has received a copy awarded to the 369th Regiment of York Infantry), for its operations in the great offensive in Cha 1918, by the French Commanding ment referred to in the letter of Age of November 2.

Infantry (formerly 15th New York Infantry), for its operations as a combat unit of a French Division in the great offensive in Champagne, September and October, 1918, by the French Commanding General. This was the engagement referred to in the letter of Col. Haywood, published in The Age of November 2. The original citation in French reads as follows: Sous le Commandement du Colonel Hayward qui, bien que blessé, a tenu à conduire son regiment au combat, du Lieutenant Colonel Pickering, admirable de sang-froid et de courage, du Commandant Colb (tui), du Commandant Spencer (grievement blessé), du Commandant Colb (tué), du Commandant Spencer (grievement blessé), du Commandant Little veritable entraîneur le feu pour la première fois, s'est paré de puissantes organisations ennemies, energiquement défendues et a enlevé de haute lutte le village de S____, a fait des prisoniers, ramene 6 canons et un grand nombre de mirailleuses.

TUSKEGEE'S PRINCIPAL TO UNDERTAKE WORK FOR TROOPS' MORALE Goes at Request of the President and Secretary of War-Accompanied by His Secretary and Age Representative-Builds on Transport. Dr. Robert Russia Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, sailed for France Sunday, December 1, on the transport Orizaba, which also carried some one-hundred newspaper correspondents, representing the most influential publications in America. Dr. Moton goes to France at the request of the President of the United States and the Secretary of War to do morale work among the colored troops who are in France in such large numbers. Now that armistice terms have been signed, it is increasingly important that the troops of the United States fall into full combat when under the stress of combat, relax afterward and fall into excesses unless a steady, guiding hand is kept on them. The colored troops have fought so well and nobly that their best friends wish them to preserve their fine record, and so Dr. Moton will circulate among the Services DR.

(Continued on Page Seven) OPENING OF PORO COLLEGE BUILDING EXTENDS OVER ONE WEEK; DRAWS A NOTABLE ATTENDANCE OF VISITORS St. Louis, M. My visit to the new $250,000 Poro College Building, with apologies to Gen. Julius Caesar, may be summarized as follows: I came; I saw; I was conquered. Hundreds, yes thousands of others, who hied themselves last week to Pendleton and St. Ferdinand avenues on a critical tour of inspection, underwent a similar and altogether pleasing experience. Out-of-town visitors were swift to declare without hesitancy that Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone have put St. Louis on the map in a ing as the one just opened by the Malones. Advocates of segregation would have a most difficult time convincing fair-minded Caucasians that the Poro College Building has impaired the value of MRS. ANNIE T. P. MALONE big way and hats were literally taken off to the Malones and St. Louisans for being able to claim the distinction of having in their midst the most imposing business structure, ever owned by Negroes and operated in the interest of Negroes. The erection and completion of the new Poro College Building is epoch making; for Negro business has assumed a more dignified and commanding status and taken on fresh impetus. What Tuskegee Institute is to Negro education the Poro College is to Negro business. Both were made a pleasing reality due to Negro brains, ingenuity, properly directed effort and stock-tornness. The younger institution bids fair to radiate a most helpful influence in the business world just as the older and more famous one has done and is doing. The new Poro College Building is the most modern in architecture, most thorough in detail, most complete in appointment and most comprehensive in scope of any building ever erected by a race business enterprise in this country. This statement can be made without fear of contradiction. For more than two hours one day last week I was personally escorted through this big plant by Mr. Malone, who explained this and that with marked familiarity. Then at my suggestion we concluded to quit and resume our inspection tour the following day. The manufacturing plant of the Poro College, with its many departments, hairdressing and reception rooms, is a big thing in itself. Added to this is a hotel, a large dining room, an auditorium, a roof garden, a suite of seventeen living rooms elegantly and tastefully furnished, used by the Malones as their private apartment; a private kindergarten maintained by Mr. and Mrs. Malone for underaged children, private telephone system with sixteen different connections, an ice plant having an output of three hundred pounds daily, stores, committee rooms, etc. The new Poro College Building has been put up in a section of St. Louis known as "Ellardsville," where hundreds of white families have left in recent months as the result of an influx of colored residents. Having spent most of my life in "Ellardsville," I think I am in a position to state authoritatively that at no time in the history of St. Louis has this section been graced with a business building so command- (BY LESTER A. WALTON) ing as the one just opened by the Malones. Advocates of segregation would have a most difficult time convincing fair-minded Caucasians that the Poro College Building has impaired the value of property because it is owned and patronized by Negroes. The opening and dedicatory exercises commencing November 25 lasted one week, during which some of the most important women and women of the race took parir. Orate and melodrine were turned loose without restraint. Never has St. Louis had so many prominent colored speakers and singers congregated there at one time. It was the greatest gala week the Negroes of St. Louis have had the good fortune to enjoy. Roland W. Hayes of Boston and George R. Garner, Jr., of Chicago were among the prominent tenor soloists. Mine. Anita Batti Brown, and Mine. Voree. Among the well-known men present were the Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, Baltimore; John H. Murphy, editor Baltimore Afro-American; George L. Knox, editor the Indianapolis Freeman; Lester A. Walton, managing editor of THE Age; Ormond A. Forte, editor Cleveland advocate; Charles Stewart of Chicago; Robert S. Abbott, editor Chicago Defender; J. Finlay Wilson, editor Washington Eagle; Nelson C. Crews, editor the Kansas City Sun, Harry C. Smith, editor Cleveland Gazette; Cary B. Lewis, managing editor Chicago Defender; I. Willis Cole, Louisville Leader; W. E. King, editor Dallas Express; J. Anthony Josey, editor Wisconsin Blade; John L. Thompson, editor Iowa Bystander; Roscoe C Simmons, Louisville; C. K. Robinson and J. L. Caston, St. Louis Clarion; J. E. Mitchell, managing editor St. Louis Louis, and R. A. Byrd of Springfield Hundreds of Poro agents from various sections of the country were in attendance. Although Monday evening was an amusing occasion, there were many incidents on Thanksgiving evening to make it long to be remembered. Hundreds were turned away and the principal speaker found it necessary to speak to an overflow meeting. Then 125 members of the local Negro Business League turned out in a body, occupied the stage and played a prominent part in making the program interesting and enjoyable. Mr. Malone is head of the local league and already the members are JOIN OF A LARGE LAND IN THE UNION preparing to make the next session of the national body, which will be held in St. Louis, a howling success.

ERNEST LYON. for the Republic of Liberia in the matter of the recent loan of $5,000,-000, made by the United States to Liberia. The appointment was made Oct. 5, 1918, and is signed by President Howard of Liberia and attested by C. D. B. King as Secretary of State and bears the great seal of the African Republic. If set forth that Dr. Lyon is invested "with full power to sign for and on behalf of the Government of Liberia such documents- or obligations as may be necessary and requisite to render available the credit arranged for the republic of Liberia by the Government of the United States and to receive and deposit advances made for such credit as instructed by the Government of Liberia." Dr. Lyon was American Minister to Liberia for seven years, from 1903 to 1910, and is credited by the Liberians with crystallizing the sentiment that brought about the loan. Upon his return to America he became Consul General of Liberia in the United States, and is the chief champion of the country that he represents. LYNCHING BY MASKED MEN IN VIRGINIA (Special to The New York Age.) FREDERICKSBURG, Va.—Allie Thompson, a Negro, charged with attacking white women, was taken from the Culpepper county jail by a mob' Sunday night, Nov. 24, and hanged to a tree. Two men went to the jail with a man bound in ropes, the report of the lynching received here said. The guards at the jail, believing the men had a prisoner, opened the jail doors. Fifteen masked men are said to have stepped inside, overpowered the guards and seized the prisoner.

CARDOZO ON AGRICULTURAL TRAINING FOR RECONSTRUCTION (Special to The New York Aug.) TUSKEGLE, ALAN-Prof. F. H. Cardozo, director of the Agricultural Department, Tuskegee Institute, is of the opinion that agricultural training will stay a conspicuous part during the reconstruction period, and in discussing "The Colored Soldier After the War" makes the following comment: "Publications are now presenting articles written on the subject of The Status of the Soldier After the War, but very few, if any, refer specifically to the colored soldier. I take the stand squarely from the beginning and say all colored soldiers will be able to find a idea of when they return from France and Germany any more than they did before leaving France. "I have no statistics to be guided on the matter, but it is my belief that there are as many colored men in the army who come from cities and towns solely as come from the country districts where farming is the principal occupation. Industrial development will go on in this country at the expense of agriculture for the benefit of the people, except that a large proportion of the returned soldiers will necessarily return to their former farm homes. Some will, others will not." Successful farm owners and tenants are necessarily savers, not spendthrifts. Where the schools come in is to teach certain of our returned soldiers the art of elementary horticulture and agriculture, as the government did in the industries prior to sending them overseas—to do all the important work behind the lines. Every body knows how well 'they did it—all on the basis of two months' intensive training. The same thing, and almost the same method can be followed in agricultural and horticultural training for those who can spend only a short time in school on their return to the country, for others themselves or for others and start up a business in some variety of farming which most appeals to them. "No sensible teacher of agriculture or prosperous farm owner will want to teach or hire a returned soldier who is unwilling or unable to learn, who does not understand good agricultural practice, or who lacks industry or thrift, so applicants-for training and possibly farm land or more educated men to fill the large number of agricultural positions set forth in the country be selected with care, and an eye to the future, many will not be easy to please. A large number will have had a great deal of time to think and plan out their future in America before returning home, and their experiences will have much to with a final settlement as to their new mode of making a living. "It has been said that the average man learns from his own experiences; the wise man learns from the experiences of others. To get" out of this quotation he profits most from them both. The secret is to look at the bright side of things and if there is no bright side, polish up the dark one. Agriculture Needs Brain and Capital "The day when farming can be carried on with little or no capital has passed forever. Agriculture has become a scientific industry and that means that it has become a capitalistic industry, mining, manufacturing and transportation, succeeded and prospered by securing the chinery and by the most up-to-date methods from wise expenditure of capital, so farm business can be kept progressive, healthy and profitable only by supplying it with the proper amount of the hardest and the man who reaps the golden harvest in it and the business of the man who is on hand with the capital to take advantage of each business opportunity as it develops. "However, the colored man who wants to engage in farming when he returns home will have some advantage over the soldiers of 1865, as he will find a deal of farm machinery on the home place or rent shape, or so he can borrow or rent it, or he obtain his own improved implement. Then, for those who have decided to farm for themselves and independent of their former mainstays, I want to tell them that there is enough cleared land in the Southern States without clearing or increasing or worrying about the remaining domain anywhere, and easily obtained. "A great deal of planning is now going on by various agencies, to find land KINKY HAIR MADE STRAIGHT SOFT. LONG. SILKY You always want to your hair the wonder- ful and the most of it.

The Southern States will provide plenty of land for agriculture, climate and near good markets, comparatively cheap, and in healthy localities. "Some of the soldiers originally coming from the South will not return to the South but go North, and however undesirable, this may be in a general way no one can stop their determination to do as they please so long as they succeed. Personally I hope the majority of the Negro soldiers' will come South to settle and live peacefully, because it is here that the greatest opportunity lies for expansion, for development, for a great chance to do well materially, as well as otherwise. The Southern white will be able to live peacefully and be his friend in many ways. He probably will vote in larger numbers than at present, because the State constitutions permit anyone to vote who is on record as having fought for his country. The whole thing is going to decide, one big word, Oppor-tee. They will have to fight the ex-Negro soldier meets it half way it is all that could be expected. "Now it takes brain to Tarm in these days of terrible competition and in different words I want to repeat what I said a few minutes ago, that the country is too much time to spend on negative quantities, but only on positive forces. "If we in the larger schools have to patiently contend with the person who is a heavyweight champion from the neck down and a lightweight champion from the neck up, we won't get very far with our theoretical and practical instruction along agricultural lines or any such of life. One thing that makes an agricultural teacher feel hopeful about the average returned Negro soldier who is anxious to return to his farm or even on new land not far off is the fact that he did see and learn a bit of English and French agriculture, whether he meant to or not, and that he will unconciously or intentionally practice some of the art in America as he did it done so successfully in an experience and I can testify to its worth and practical value from personal observation. "We must not forget that the colored county agents, scattered throughout the South will help wonderfully in wielding a 'big stick' in the proper guidance of the agricultural activities, giving advice with monetary value, which cannot be easily ignored. As the soldier listens to his adviser, he will quote Brother Jack Rabbit, who once said: 'It is better to get up and git than to sit up and sit.' Nothing unless the soldier is blind or had the fortune to lose a limb, and if the latter has it a question of rehabilitation and education by the Federal government through the schools and colleges selected for the purpose, and the government is keeping an eye already on such soldiers. The City Man and the Farm. If the city man desires to take up any of the various phases of agriculture—and there are many—I am going to advise as I meant to do in the case of the colored soldier who was already or partially rural minded, namely, that he do so mainly of his own inclination. This beats all the pleading and begging and persuasion that can be done in a life-time. Most agricultural teachers of any experience will bear me out in this. "I admit advice is the thing to give and also mention the larger amount and number of recompense and opportunities that are offered in the agricultural field, professionally and practically, or for the Heaven's sake let him decide for him and he will make a better student and a better product. We don't want all returned carpenters to be farmers any way. We must have carpenters, machinists, electricians, teachers, plumbers and doctors. "As to how we can use our agricultural short courses in the various schools of the union for the special training of a few men who want addition to our knowledge or persuade a large number of students to continue their school training along agricultural lines so as to prepare for the high-priority positions that will open up rapidly are the tions being thrashed out by the Federal Board for Vocational Education and will be given to the public later. But one thing is sure, if any soldier has a sum of money to start on or is in shorthand for a small sum to perfect his limited knowledge here, he will immediately be liable to become one of Benjamin Franklin's pupils once said. 'If a man empties his purse into his head no one can take it away from him.' Was not this Franklin's quaint way of saying that education, in ways includes the reading of the best books, really imperishable? Through that door books can neither break through nor steal and let me tell you now that there are no books, real modern books, written on the methods of agricultural practice. I repeat, in all of its many phases, that you will get all the book knowledge you want if you are so inclined, and this latter sentence is particularly directed towards young men and women when in mind preparing themselves for position coming under the great big general head of the public education, meaning that they design to learn the best methods of teaching science agriculture in the schools of the country, accept offers with the government in demonstration work and take their ers now in great demand, everywhere. Education in Agriculture, as an investment. "We have found that the world seldom thinks well of the man who does not 'think well of himself, but please don't overdo the thing. There is nothing worse in the academic world than a person with the 'big head.' Breaking it agitates a tree. We don't know what it is the best cure I know of. It makes you clean and sweet thereafter. Whenever you find ability fails you, try reliability. If you make a failure in some one thing in agriculture this should not discourage you, if it does not become a habit. Bury the past and do not mark it with a trombone. Just do it with a trumpet. Education, agricultural or otherwise, is a form of investment. Many of our soldiers got their 'first real education' of any kind whatever when they were made a part of the army. They will complete their education, however limited it may look to some, when they come back to America, ready to start with the same kind of skill with crops, dairying and farm mechanics, etc. "All of this can be carried as far as you want to go, even through the university, but the pupil may have to decide that. We must teach the returned soldier the value of making the most of his environment, to be happy with the best he is able to surround himself with at the time, and not to lose out completely by getting into serious money troubles, because he wanted to possess something, however desirable it might be, which was beyond his present means."

IN ‘Contributing Bdltor __ Hondon, Omen, 17 Green Btroei, Charing Address all Tetters and make all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW & YORK AGE “ LIBERIA SHOULD HAVE A VOICE:IN PEACE. . dn the gathering of the Allicd Nations around the Peace table at Versailles, it should not be forgot- ten that the Republic of Liberia, as one of the.belligerents, had to make her full share of war sac- rifices. Sh¢ is therefore rightfully entitled’ to representation and a voice in ,the” deliberations incident to the making. of the peace pact. ” _ Even before the declaration of a staté ‘of war between Liberia and Germany, there was a growing scarcity of tonnage, shipping of domestic products was almost sus- pended and trade became stagnant. The taxes and customs revenues declined and the Government was obliged to retrench-the salaries of all its employees by half, and later found it impossible to pay even that except by borrowing the money. ‘Then came the visit of 2 German submarine that shelled the capital and put'a final stop to all shipping entering the port. ‘The financial: situation tia beén relieved by the loan of five million glare granted Liberia by the Waited’ States, which will cat. the Republic to pay alf its indebted- oness‘and undertake important pub- ‘lic improvements. But because of all this; Liberia is the more entitled to representation. If‘ the principle of restoring stolén property to the original owner is to be generally enforced, Liberia might have some claims in the way of altered boundary: Ifhes bycwhich France and Great Britain grabbed’ some of her hinterland. A plea for its restoration should re- ceive’ favorable’ consideration in view of the general restoration of territory laid out for Europe. Then the territories taken from under the ‘heel of Germany might with pro- priety be confided to Liberian tute- lage. ‘ , But Liberia can undoubtedly speak for herself in these matters, if given the opportunity, although if necessary the Negro in America is able and willing to furnish any number of eloquent spokesmen. But a Republic which possesses such native ability as instanced in President Howard, Secretary of the Treasury Walter F. Walker,” or Chief Justice J. J. Dossen of the Supreme Court, need not look be- yond its borders for fitting repre- sehtatives at the peace table. PROTECT THE SOLDIERS. : .In the’ process of demobilization of the military forces, which has already begun in the camps over here as weil as among the nien overseas, there’are evidences of the necessity of sonfe measures being taken to protect the discharged sol- diers ‘from unnecessary suffering. Discharged soldiers have been en- countered in various sections who find it hard to secure employment at once on their return to civil life. Some of these men have not even the civilian garb that they doffed to enter the service of the country and they are subjects of rebuffs and re fusals, in their efforts to obtain work at some usefi}and gainful ‘occupation. In many ins the Places they held before. enteritsyhe rmy have been filled by others anc ey axe not needed at the old -jg6. a | Other employers: frequently wefuse them ‘work because “of their-‘color) as is alleged to be the, case with certain army contrattors. This is said to"be the case at Camp Upton, where extensive ad- ditions, to the ‘buildings are being made in order to accommodate the soldiers expected from overseas on their debarkation. That the men who were enlisted to fight for de- mocracy should be, debarred ‘froin the opportunity to earn a living in this undertaking is an anomalous condition indeed, The attention’ of the Government officials in charge of this work should be directed to this unrighteous discrimination. In fact, the first duty of the Govern- ment toward the men it is dis- charging from thé army should be to provide them with an oppor- tunity to again became self-sup- porting members of the community. | The United States Employment Service could justify its existeiice in no better way than by correcting this situation. Lae POLITICAL ‘TRADITIONS. That the political leaders of Southern opinion.are preparing for a‘strategic retreat to first principles is indicated by certain newspaper Griticisms of the “new principle of centralization,” as it is styled, in cOnnection with the primary elec- tion law and the national prohibi- tion amendment. | Under. tlie new ‘Federal elections law, defendants in Michigan were haled before the courts in New York City to be tried for alleged election frauds committed -in the State of Michigan. This proceed- ing has special interest for Ala- baria Democrats, according to the Montgomery Advertiser, which recalls the futile attempts of the National Government to punish violators of the elections law imme- diately after. the Civil War in the courts of Alabama. It asks with considerable pointedness: Suppose the new theories of cen- tralization Wad’ prevailed then, sup- pose their own people advocated then, as many of them do now, the surrender of the rights of the State and the extension of the Federal * power, with its attendant destruc- tion of local self-government—could + we have won that fight in Alabama for the restoration of local govern~ ment, and for the preservation Sof” the integrity of the white man's civilization? Suppose those Ala- bamians who were brought to trial before such men as Busted and Kiels in Alabama cities, could have been transported to Ohio, Massa- + chusetts and Pennsylvania, and tried not only by men who’ would have been of a feather with Busteed and Kiels, but who would have been surrounded at the trial by the in- + tolerant bloody shirt waving Repub- licans of that period—would they have triumphed in the courts and would we have won our great civil and political victory in the. South? The inevitable retreat to the old and tried doctrine of State's rights to protect the South in the enjoy- ment of a political ascendency based on the suppression of the suffrage. is set forth in this specious appeal : We would urge Alabama Demo- crats who yet cherish their political traditions, who are concerned over. the. protection of political and social institutions of his Anglo-Saxon civilization, to watch carefully the signs of the growing storm, and to remember always that the sheet an- chor of the white man's safety and supremacy is the principle of the rights of the State, with’its attend- ant law of local self-government. The simple facts of the matter pear to be that when the South is. in the saddle, it wants a central- zed government, so that it can’con- rol the nation from Washington. When the South is riding for a fall, t wants State’s rights to prevail, 0 that the South can manage its nternal affairs immune from Fed- ral intervention or restraint. Does the Montgonvery Advertiser ealize that moth-eaten political raditions must give way to the) lawn of a world-wide democracy, © be ushered in by the close of the], var? Not yet, evidently. | A correspondent informs us that the recent riot at Winston-Salem, N. C., was not a race riot. But one Negro was killed, and that ore in the jail by mistake for the one the mob was secking. Three white people were killed and scores were wounded seriously hy members of their own race.

French’ and were anable:to under- stand the proceedings when going on.in that Iahguage, at | ‘There is no doubt that English has been for a good many years, and is at present more rapidly, displacing French as the language of common intercourse. This is due mainly to'two reasons, England's preponderance as a colonial and commertial power and the growth of the United States. The fact that English is: the language of these the two great powerful nations in the world accojints for the spread of that tongue. People in order to do business must know English. The figures showing the growth of the principal languagga in the last one himdred years are interesting. The following. table gives the number of people speaking these languages in the year 1801: ‘ English ...cceseseeereet+ 20,520,000 gh eee © Fr@tich lo...

This fact may throw a sidelight on the great war. . There is, however, another way in which to look at these figures. The Spanish language is spoken by only 50,000,000 people; but Span: ish is the language of more independent nations than cither English or German. Three times as‘many nitions speak Spanish as speak English, All of the nations to the south patent Mee down speak Spanish, except Brazil and.the threeMGuianas. If the ¥ast con- tinent of South America should experience a development and growth in the next hundred years similar to that of North America in the past century, the Spanish language will become a formidable rival to English and German. An idea of how vast the South American continent is may be gained from knowing that Brazil alone has a greater area than the United States. os According to the figures, the claim that English-should be the language of the ‘peace parley seems a fair one. And a good many people may wonder why it js that although French is losing its place as the universal language, it still maintains its place as the language of diplomacy. There is a reason; French is the clearest, most concise and most logical of all the modern languages. There is a saying which runs like this, “That which is not clear is not French.” Therefore, for documents whose,value depends upon their true and exact interpretation, French canbot be approached by any other vehicle of speech now in use. } A Janguage grows‘out from a, people and is a reflection.of their deepest characteristics. The French people are not only the most clear-brained and logical people!in the world; they are freer from sentimentality, bombast, hypocrisy, cant, and prejudice than any other people, and their language! naturally, is likewise. ~ COLORED PEOPLES IN HE PEACE SETTLEMENT. The colored people of the United States are fully alive to the urgency of having not only their qwn cause, but.the cause of all the colored people of the world broughg to the attention of.those who are to make the peace settlement at Versailles. In fact, any settlement that} is arrived at will be of no perma- nent value unless ‘steps are takeh 0 bring about a fairer adjustment of the status of the colored peoples of the world. For it was in the old status of these peoples that the great war had its roots. When we cut down through all of the overlying causes of the war we get down to the fact that it was a war for the domination of the people of Africa, India and the islands of the sea. The colored people of the United States are interested in the outcome of the negotiations both in behalf of themselves and their ‘brethren in Africa, The fact that they are interested in the fate of Africa shows that they are taking a broader view of the situation than many might have supposed them likély to take or even capable of taking. What is to become of the colonies in Africa that were held by Germany? Certain English statesmen haye declared that they will not be giveri back to Germany. It is possible that the new Ger- man Government will not want them; for they havé never been an asset to Germany. Are they to be apportioned out among the Allies, and thus remain a future bone of contention between powers that are. now friends? <° A suggestion has been made that they be taken over by the United States. It does not scem that the United States can with good grace acquire or take over any territory. since throughout the whole war it solemnly reiterated the declaration that it would not. Theonly plan that would fit it with the aims of the war as stated by the Allies would be to internationalize these colonics, and govern them solely for the benefit of the natives, ° | However, it is probable that the Negroes of Africa will receive more direct consideration: than the Negroes of the United States. It will be much more difficult to get the cause of the latter before those at the peace table for the very reason that they are citizens of the United States.. The: United’ States is fully represented, even by the President, and through those delegates the American Negro is technically, at least, fully represented. . There may be a chance to get in a word through Liberia or| Haiti, but the promise of the restilt of cither of those mediums does not seem very bright. =, . 5 + Efforts are being made tp have a number of colored American sitizens present in Paris, where their utterances may reach the cars of the world and especially the ears of those at the peace table. Such a course would be effective if wisely arranged and carried out. : Whatever is to be done must be done promptly. - aw IT HAD A PUNCH, , To the Editor of Tie New Yorn Ace: Your editorial in answer to the Jack- son (Miss.)

York Ace; Your very clear and forceful discus: sion of the Jabor qaestion in the issue of the 30th ultimo, 1 read with profound and absorbing interest, and was par- ticularly well pleased with your delinea. tion of the various phases of the sub. ject. Permit me, please, to discuss with you just one point.ef your argument— the quintessence of your contention, After reviewing the retrogressive move. ment of the colored. waiters as strike: breakers, you remark: "Nowsthe white waiters are almost ag shortsighted in this matter as the colored waiters. If they would lay aside race prejudice, take the colored waiters into the union ard work side hy side with them, there fwould be no skilled men to take ther places when they made demands on ‘their employers.” On Friday afternoon, Nov. 22, it was my privilege; through invitation of the executive committee of the striking waiters, (o address that body—an assem= bly of about twenty-five hundred men, I stressed the moral character and the industrial effects of scabbing; and- ape pealed to that.vast bidy of men not to dear ill-will to the colored -men, and white men, who had goné into the work as strike-breakers, on the ground that while such men are laborers, they ate not students’ of labor problems and, as such, could not appreciate the merits of the situation—they stand in need of instruction. That drought me to the point whose favorable reception I fairly doubted, but, convinced of its truth and worth, Tyentured it: “Work side by side with’ black men, and make no distinction in the ranks of labor sb long as your fellow work. men are upright, clean, and efficient; for while it is to the interest of the em: ploying class, or the exploiters of labor, to create, or to maintain, a division in the ranks ,of labor, labor itself ought to recognize the wisdom of solidarity without regard to race, color, creed or nationality.” That point was elaborated to a con- siderable degree, but I have given you the gist, which is sufficient’ for the present purpose. How was that sentiment received? With thuhderous applause, and I think the timé to act to bring these forces of labor together is now, if ever we hope to remedy the evil, which you have, with such clearness, pointed out. ‘ Geonce Frazier Mum.

Devotees of the drama in Harlem farewell to one company of the LaVette Players last week and welcomed another this week. The departing players, made their exit after a most heartening fun of the *Misleading Lady*, as their farewell presentation. Their accessors in this city opened Monday in the Brat, 'high afforded a fitting cake for a dancing couple' in the Downtown Carlotta Fashion, *Clarence Muse*, Lillian Gilliam, *Arthur Ray*, Charlie Moore, *Andrew Bishop* and the other, members of this group of players. Great success attended the engagement of this company in Chicago according to all accounts, 'not only from the professional standpoint' but in a social way as well. In the words of one familiar with their triumphal progress, "they have been wined and dined almost every week since they have been and last week when it become generally known that they were leaving for Washington, D. C., preparatory to making their triumphal entry into our city, they were banqueted, by their many friends": That the star of the leading comedian of the race has not new and regular metropolitan playgems is shown by the following comment in the theatrical columns of a leading daily: Bert Williams is at the Palace Theatre this week, black face, loose hanging arms, far-carrying voice and all, his old-time attributes contributing to a bit of entertainment that easily captured the attention of a greeting that was at least a little more than ordinarily enthusiastic. "The casual monologue and languid pantomime still form a big feature of his ability to win applause. It seemed as if, there wasn't a corner of the big playhouse, too remote to catch his lowest spoken word." Another critic, in an evening paper, criticized the theater enthusiasm: "With instigating humor that got in under the article, of each spectator, with artistry that made of each topical dirty a comedy masterpiece, Bert Williams yesterday returned to vaudeville at the Palace Theatre, proving anew that in his field he is a master. "Yesterday's Palace audience waited well almost the end of a lengthy period, and probably before Williams appeared. Waited, as was evinced upon his appearance, to accord him the applause of the afternoon; to greet his efforts with a reception that has been vappashed but few vaudeville performers during the current season of the Palace Theatre. Only the turning, out of the theatre's light, convinced those present the program had planned well, the actress and that his, songs and stories had ended for the time being." Harry Lauder, the popular Scotch comedian, who has just returned from a stay with the soldiers in France, is reported as follow: "I visited several of the rest villages where the men were just out of the battle lines. Most of them hailed from Maine. State and they were kind to me. I went down into one of these places with my little piano and gave a concert for them, which they enjoyed immensely. "The trip I just made was my twenty-first across the Atlantic. The voyage was the roughest ever made by the Marines to a little concert to a gathering of 800 soldiers. The boys main thoughts were getting home for Christmas turkey and plum pudding. "When I went home last May I met great grief and sorrow. The Allies were all actually prepared to vacate and that is how near the Germans were in position, so them from getting through but America. With her achievement and triumph America accomplished the biggest feat overnight." Edmond Rostand, the well-known French poet and dramatist, died Monday in Paris of pneumonia and the grip. He was best known as the author of "Cyrano de Bergerac," "L'Aigon," "La Princesse de Loinaine," "La Pamille et Loinaine," and "Thermitine." He leaped suddenly into fame about 1897 when he startled the dramatic and literary world by producing the first-named lay. Clarence Cameron White, the noted violinist, is making a tour of the Pacific Coast. He appeared November 26, 1987, with M. T. Adendorfium, 62, Wellington, with T. Theodore, 61, pianist. His program included compilations by S. Coleridge-Taylor, H. T. Burleigh and C. C. White, besides such classics as Liszt, Chopin and Dvorak. "THE WOMAN ON THE INDEX" AT LAFAYETTE Although many people are under the impression that "Officer 666" has been decided upon as the attraction, for next week's show at the Lafayette Theatre, it has been learned that that splendid attraction entitled "The Woman on the Index" will be brought to Harlem for a week's run. The story is by Frank O'Brien and originally appeared in Munsey's Magazine. Among the many people who noticed the story was George Broadhurst and Lillian Trimble Bradley, who made the stage version. As many will remember, this show was produced at the 46th Street Theatre where it ran for a long time and met with great success. "The Woman on Index" is a play along the lines of "The Woman on Instant Instant" taken at Lafayette Theatre, gripping story Uncle Sam's secret story play and "Three Face's East" and "Your Neighbor." The author needs no introduction to the playworms of Harlem, for his "Bought and Paid For" and "The Man of the Hour" played to fine houses, at this very theatre sometimes ago. THEATRICAL JQTTINGS.

LULA JONES SINGS FOR LYCEUM PEOPLE Madam Lula Robinson Jones, hailed by many musical experts as the sweetest singer of the colored race, so thoroughly charmed the great audience that filled the lecture room of St. Mark's Lyceum last Thursday evening by her sweet/yinging that many forgot the severe rain storm that they had braved to listen to the concert which the lyceum had arranged for St. Mark's Church fair. On the program with the theme of cooperation with the attraction, the well-known Madame Fanny Belle De Knight, who recited and was forced to reappear.

SIDNEY WOODWARD'S CONCERT, Prof. Sidney Woodward, so well known in musical circles and chorister of Bethel A. M. E. Church, scored another great triumph on last Wednesday evening in presenting a concert at Mother Zion Church. The excellence of the numbers rendered, the exquisite touch of grand opera and the intelligent selection of numbers' met with the hearty approval of the very select audience. Every number was admirably sung. More expression than is ordinarily heard at a church concert was to be noted if nearly every song, and it was altogether a very pleasing performance. Prof. Woodward's modesty was never more fitting; expressed than in his praise of those who assisted in putting on such a noteworthy program. AT LAWRENCEVILLE LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—The strong football machine which he been built up during the past four years at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute was defeated November 23 in one of the most spectacular, games over witnessed on St. Paul Normal and Industrial School's gridiron by a score of 18 to 6. Petersburg scored on both ends of the 40-yard by Jackson without interference in the second period. Not once throughout the last two periods did the visiting team threaten St. Paul's goal. St. Paul received the kick-off in the third period on her own 10-yard line, and with terrific line plunges and unprecedented end runs made her second touchdown in three minutes. The local school developed an aggregation, under Coach Reavis, determined to avenge the last three years' downfall. Each man began the game with the thought of victory and the teamwork exhibited by the squad cannot be ignored. V. KN, & I. Institute played practically a defensive game; she felt her defeat keenly and bent all energies toward holding St. Paul's line, but found herself in every play at the mercy of her opponents. BIDDLE S. A. T. C. TIES CAMP GREENE CHARLOTTE, N. C.-Biddle University S. A. T. C. and the strong Camp Greene eleven played a hard fought game on the university gridiron before a large crowd of civilians and soldiers Nov- ember 23. The soldiers' team was composed of all stars from the various colleges, namely, Hampton, Fisk, Tuskegee, Lingstone, Bennett and Allen University. The soldiers won the toss and received the kick. Meadows of Hampton ran the ball back ten yards before be- tached by Jason, the Kentucky speed boy. After making two success- ive first downs by their heavy plunging backs, the Camp Greene boys lost the ball on downs. Biddle made one first down and punted to Perry, after failure to gain ground. Perry ran the back eight yards and Jason again came in line with a tackle. After an interchange of punts the first period ended with the ball on the soldiers' 25-yard line. The second period opened with Biddle using several tricky shift plays that advanced the ball to the soldiers' 12-yard line. The soldiers held, Biddle being forced to give the ball up on downs. The soldiers' heavy shifty back field binded a triumphant march to the ball running through broken field running by Meadows and heavy line plunging by Carnes, the former all South Carolina halfback, and Perry, a former North Carolina College terror, the ball was carried to Biddle's 25-yard line. The college boys then braced and fought the enemy off with an interchange of punts. The first half of the game solders well into Biddle's territory. The second half was hard fought and well played. Biddle's open playing featured this half and the all-round work of Isom, Forrest and Carges for Biddle; Perry, Meadows and Brown for the soldiers. Seen at the game were Lieut. and Mrs. Ramsey of Philadelphia, Lieut. and Mrs. Ramsey of Texas, Miss Celeste Downing of Charlotte, Sergel. Elwood Downing of Roanoke, Va., Lieut. Alcampbell of New York and many others. MOREHOUSE MEETS TALLADEGA, Ala. -The team from Atlanta lost all hopes of championship of the South when defeated Saturday afternoon, Nov. 23, on Talladega College. The team, mercifully waged contest witnessed by a throng of cheering students. Morehouse presented a comparatively new team with only two or three old players in the lineup. Two years ago Morehouse won the undisputed championship of the South but the youngsters this year were simply not equal to the youngsters in the Giants's well-trained team. They fought it a way to win the admiration of the crowd but did not have a chance. Only once did the Atlanta team come close to Talladega's goal. Almost the entire first half was played near the middle of the field, neither team passing the other's thirty-yard line. The single touchdown of the game was made in the third quarter. Quarterback Cox made a successful forward pass to left end, Tyson, who ran twenty yards for a touchdown. For the first half it seemed that the teams were about evenly matched but Talladega began to show her superiority from the very beginning of the second half and succeeded in keeping the ball in her opponent's territory. The famous "formation" used by Morel and thought to be irreversible, was torn to be charged by charging and tackling of Bragg's men. The "Talladega shift", introduced by the new coach, proved to be an undoubted success. The most spectacular playing was done by Quarterback Cox and Halfback Pickett, who starred in a number of clever end runs and off tackle plays. For the visitors Anderson and Walker were the strength of the team. For Talladega Iyson, left end; Pykes (mgr.), left tackle; Walker, left guard; Savage, conti; Whigenant right guard; Reid, right tackle Gordon right end; Cox, quarter back; Pickett, left half back; Gans, right half back; Whisenant, full back. Summary: Touchdown, Tyson. Goal from touchdown, Cox. Substitute. Clark for Gans; Gans for Gordon in last quarter. Time of periods, 15 minutes. Officials: Referee, Hicks of Auburn, umpire, Director of Athletics Deaf and Dumb School of Talladega head linesman, Johnson. BASKETBALL IN DISTRICT LEAGUE. Washington, D. C. The past week has seen the strengthening of the strong teams and as a result many fast and exciting games aroused the spectators. The first overtime game of the season was between the Carlyles and the Naval_Gun Factory, Carlyle winning by the score of 26 to 33. Another game that deserves special mention was the one between the Carlyles and the Alcoes for second place. The Alcoes led the first half 7 to 5, put in an uphill fight the Carlyles won out in the last few minutes of the game by the score of 15 to 9. The largest score in years resulted in the game between the St. Augustines and the Incorporators, the Incorporators winning by the score of 102 to 13. Niel of the Incorporated scored 40 points. Fill 34. Arnold 22, and Augustines scored 26 to keep up with their fast company. The Y. M. C. A. won their game with the St. Augustines with ease; score, 46 to 18. Armstrong split even, losing 13 the Alcoes, 19 to 12, in a fast game, and winning from the Gray Jackets by the score of 34 to 38. The last game of the week, between the Y. M. C. A. and the Incorporators, was one of the fastest and most sensational games ever seen in Washington. The Incorporators won, 40 to 42.

It was noted that the first meeting in the building should be praise service. Only the employees were present with a few personal friends of the head of the institution. The employees had prayers and short talks, quotations from the Scripture. Monday at 11 o'clock the building was inspected by the members of the local Negro Business League. Their followed the opening of the building to the public at 6 p. m. Many were the visitors shown through the building by the ushers. The first public meeting Monday evening in the auditorium was attended by more than five hundred persons from all parts of the country. Prof. Frank L. Williams, principal of the Summer High School, presided. Prof. Williams said that in the achievement of Mr. and Mrs. Malone was revealed the wonderfulness of man, who was made in the image of God. He felt that the whole race should feel proud of them. Congressman Newton was introduced and spoke in terms of praise of the work of the building. He was proud to see the great institution. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks of Baltimore, who was the principal speaker, said that there are three kinds of people in this world—producers, distributors and consumers. The Negro must be among the producers. He must put brain in his products. Brain power rules the world. The first song at the opening of the new building was composed by a member of the race, Hermes Zimmerman, of Hadley, Ill., "America First and Forever," and was sung by the Poro Choral Club of 125 voices, the employees of the institution. The Rev. R. H. Cole, principal of Simmons School, presided Tuesday evening. Prof. Cole spoke of the complainers, of the grumblers—those who had said the promoters had a vision. They were building for the future. The speaker recalled when the section where now stands the magnificent structure was called "Mudville," when it was considered "way out," but now it was a beautiful section of St. Louis. He predicted great things would yet be accomplished right in the section where stands Poro College. "Poro will bring the people out here," he said. "The Early Life of Aaron and Annie Malone" was discussed by Mrs. H. W. Jamerson of Peoria, Ill., who had known both from youth. Charles Stewart of Chicago was the next speaker. "He who fails to find himself, who he is, what he is and his place in God's universe, is a failure throughout his life," he said, "and we have before us these two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Malone, because they cook the time in the school room to locate themselves. Man must find himself through his mind. Physical size or strength is not manhood, but man is mind." George L. Knox spoke some good wholesome things to the people and John H. Murphy delivered a practical business address. Lester A. Walton was introduced by Prof. Cole as a product of St. Louis who had spent his early life in "Mudville," but today stood out as an inspiration to the youth of the race. Mr. Walton made a short address. He was given an ovation by his old friends and acquaintances. By Wednesday the attendance had largely increased from out of town, and all day the ushers were kept busy showing the visitors through the plant. In the afternoon the Poro agents of St. Louis gave a reception and banquet to the visiting agents. They assembled in the auditorium where a program was rendered. Mrs. Victoria Wallace Turmer presided and Mrs. R. Roland made the opening prayer. One of the features was a solo by Mrs. Vella Bunday, the wife of Dr. Bundy. Mrs. A. E. Malone extended welcome to the large crowd of agents. She was glad that they came, and wanted that they should enjoy their stay. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Mrs. Sadie Brooks, Mrs. Maud Kelly and Mrs. Birdie Hawkins. Mrs. Cora Williams of Atlanta, Mrs. Willie Scott of Cleveland, Mrs. Birdie Betts of Chicago, Mrs. E. L. Vaughn of Pittsburgh and Mrs. Clark of New York responded.

A pleasing feature of the evening's exercises was the presentation of a beautiful basket of flowers to Mrs. Malone by the employees of Poro College. Mrs. Malone was deeply touched by this token of esteem and in her usual modest manner thanked her employees for the gift. Representatives of the local Negro Business League made talks and told of the new life which the organization has taken on. On Friday and Saturday evenings large audiences were present.

W. T. MCKISSICK & CO. P.D. B. 192. MUNDEL, DEP ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—Representative citizens crowded the Arctic Avenue Y. M. C. A. building to honor the retiring secretary, C. M. Cain, who was preparing to leave the city for Camp Taylor, Ky, having resigned his position to enter the military service as a chaplain, Mr. Cain has accomplished a splendid work during his five years here. Backed by Mr. Walter Buzby of the Hotel Dennis, the new secretary had the old building remodeled, giving Atlantic City a "Y" of which she is modestly proud. The expenses incurred in this venture, as well as the debt of six thousand dollars on the original property, have all been paid; current expenses have been met year after year, and there is a balance in the treasury. The building is a two-story frame structure with complete housing accommodations for thirty-two men. It is attractive, and annually several hundred men visit its cheerful rooms. There is an exchange and a reading room, which is supplied with current magazines and newspapers. The amusement room containing four pocket billiard tables, draws young men from all parts of the city, while the library of a thousand volumes has its own distinct appeal. Two committee rooms answer a pressing need for the various clubs of the city. Ladies are no longer debarred from the Y. M. C. A. as in former years, and they find the well-appointed dining-room and kitchen a pleasing asset. The building is well heated, and is equipped with gas and electric lights and shower baths. A piano and a victrola add to the pleasures of the "Y." Under Mr. Cain's leadership the Arctic Avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian Association has proven itself to be a most potent factor in the social and spiritual development of Atlantic City life. There are between seventy-five and a hundred of its members with the colors, and Mr. Cain adds one more to that lengthening Roll of Honor. The colored women of Philadelphia raised $219,350 for the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. THE LATEST THEORY OF FIRST ALLIES that has been learnt from the surface of the skin and scalp more abundantly.
