The National Negro Weekly. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1916. New Largest Bona-fide Subscription List. PRICE FIVE CENTS BENEFIT SEEN IN PROPOSED LEAGUE OF NATIONS BLACK TROOPS WERE ESSENTIAL PROVISIONS INVOICED AT DINNER OF NEIGHBORHOOD CLUB America's participation in the proposed League of Nations was the subject of discussion at the dinner held under the auspices of the association of Neighborhood Workers, at the Cafe Boulevard, Monday night. Among the 400 guests present was Eugene Kincick Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, who was called upon to speak in behalf of black Americans. Representatives from England, Japan, India, Armenia, America, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, Russia, Costa Rica, Palestine and many other countries were present and spoke of their counterpart participation in the proposed League. Among the guests also were commentary and naval officers. The discussion was opened by Prof. Kenneth Duggan of the College of the City of New York, who was led by Philip Allison, assistant to the Secretary (Lebanon) Timothy O'Neill, outlined the plan for administering the legislative, executive and police affairs of the proposed league which is to guarantee freedom and self-determination to all nations, weak and strong, protect the smaller nations, the powerful neighbors and guarantee to the opportunity to develop national spirit and unity. Mr. Jones asked that America, while acting as spokesman for the new democracy, save herself from an employment situation by implementing reform measures at home that would guarantee to all its citizens—black as well as white—such a portion of justice as would make them a free people indeed. He said in part: "Negroes in America are heartily in a league of Nations. They hope that the Negroes of Africa as well as those in America will benefit thereby. They have left 80,000 men on European battlefields as their sacrifice for true freedom." 200,000 American Negroes have risked all in France. One whole American Negro regiment has been deployed in the French countryside, the French croix de guerre—that is, those that were left to receive it. Two hundred thousand more Negroes were mobilized in America ready to go over, and the whole Negro civilian population, men and women, stood back to their military facilities and with their volunteer service-loans and gifts to all war activities. This was in fact a part of their contribution to and their endowment of the formation of the League of Nations which now needs to be discussed by the president. "Now Negroes want to reap some immediate benefits in the form of greater industrial freedom—jobs with a future, better safety and justice before the law, the protection of the selection of governing selfless national and local, and a more general participation in the affairs of government. These provisions, it seems to me, are essential if we are to face the world with a proposal for a League of Nations and expect other nations to take us seriously, trust and co-operate heartily and confidentially in its formation." BOOZE LOSES CONTEST IN MOUND BAYOU (Special to The New York Acm) SEPARATE HUTS FOR OFFICERS PROVIDED; PRIVATES BARRED SEPARATE HUTS FOR OFFICERS PROVIDED; PRIVATES BARRED War Work Secretary Offers Explanation of the Charges Made by Corporal Drysdale. According to C. V. Hibbard, associate general secretary of War Work of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A., who called at THE AGE office last week, all war workers of this organization in France have been instructed not to draw any line of discrimination on account of race or color in the service rendered to the soldiers. Referring to the case of Corporal Drysdale of the 369th Regiment, who charged in THE AGE of Nov. 30 that he was refused service at two Y. M. C. A. huts, in Tours and Dijon, respectively, Mr. Hibbert asserts that if such discrimination was practiced it was not in pursuance of any settled policy of the organization. Having recently returned from an extensive trip through France, in which he had occasion to inspect the work among the soldiers, he felt free to say he observed the most cordial relations between white and colored officers. As a result of the huts, there were some huts providing for the service of commissioned officers only, where the privates and non-coms were not accommodated. This may have been the case at the huts hired by Corporal Drysdale, Mr. Hibbard, especially provided for colored soldiers, where objection was raised to the entertainment of white soldiers. But the general rule was that; the doors of every hut were open wide; to every american soldier, regardless of race freedom; 200,000 American Negroes have risked all in France. One whole American Negro regiment has been cited for bravery and has been awarded the French croix de guerre—that is, the cross of the French flag. Two hundred thousand more Negroes were mobilized in America ready, to go over, and the whole Negro civilian population, men and women, stood back of the army with their labor in munition factories and with their volunteer service, loans and gifts to all war activities, to in fact their cooperation, but to their independent formation of the formation of the League of Nations which now aims to be discussed at the peace table. "Now Negroes want to reap some immediate benefits in the form of greater industrial freedom - jobs with a future, better homes at fairer rentals, personal education, and a subjection of the "firm core" care - voice in the selection - of governing officials national and local, and a more general participation in the affairs of government. These provisions, it seems to me, are essential if we are to face the world with a proposal for a League of Nations to govern seriously, to trust us and to co-operate heartily and confidentially in its formation." BOOZE LOSES CONTEST IN MOUND BAYOU (Special to The New York Ace) MOUND BAYOU, MISS.-At a regular municipal election held here this week, Eugene P. Booze was again defeated by the present incumbent, B. H. Creswell, for Mayor of the Town of Mound BAYOU, and for the administration ticket, by a vote of 2 to 1. Mr. Booze has been trying to get into office here for several years, and he once ran for Alderman and received only 13 votes. Later, he secured from the Governor, appointment as Mayor in an effort to oust the present Administration, but also lost that in the courts. WORKERS FOR THE RED CROSS ROLL CALL Scores of colored nurses in uniform of women who have served in the Women's War Transport Corps, and other women who have done war service in the Circle for Negro War Relief, took part in the parade and block party Christmas roll call week.

B. Battie, secretary of the Circle for Negro War Relief, is in charge of other workers.

COLORED WAR HEROES ARRIVE ON THE COTIC The White Star liner Celtic set anchor Wednesday with 155 officers and 2,122 in American Expeditionary Force, most of the on board. This is the first detachment of Negro arrive from the war zone, among them members of the old 15th Infantry, now regiment. Other troops are expected. Lieut.-Colonel Emerson, a former health commissioner of New York, but now with the American Expeditionary Force in France, pronounces the field hospital of the division of colored troops to be the cleanest and best administered in the front area. The following extract is taken from a letter written by him under date of Nov. 10: "I have just returned from a ten-day trip to the front to see the actual conditions for sanitation and care of the and work during a colored activity. I and the field hospital of the division of colored troops to be the cleanest and best administered in the front area. A white major is in command, but the other personnel all colored troops have protected the hospital staff and attendants from being infected by influenza from the patients."

Knowles, a member described as an Odd Fellow of the New School, secured through his attorney, John William Smith an order from the Supreme Court of the District Grand Lodge to show cause why he should not peacefully enjoy the rights and privileges of membership. WINNER OF VERONA SCHOLARSHIP AT CORNELL (Special to TWN New York ACK.) ITHACA, N. Y.-Miss Louise Iove of Verona, N. J., who was awarded a $200 scholarship at Verona High School, is pursuing a course at Cornell. She is comfortably domiciled at the handsome residence of Mrs. Nannie Jones, 212 Cancadelia street. The National Advancement Association sent a telegram to Governor William P. Hobby of Texas, requesting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged lynching of Charles Shipman on November 14 last in Fort Bend County. The association told the governor that it is in possession of a statement from its staff that which gives the names of five men who deliberately lynched Shipman, following a disagreement between him and a white man on whose plantation he had been living. The association calls the governor's attention to the fact that this is the tenth lynching which has occurred in Texas this year, a record exceeded only by the number of victims in the State of Georgia. A telegram was also sent to Governor Frank L. Houx of Wyoming, protesting against the lynching of Edward Woodson at Green River on Dec. 12, and the driving from their homes of the colored residents of the town. Men, women and children were forced to abandon all their property and flee for their lives. The association asks the governor to investigate the circumstances in which prisoners are brought to justice, but that the lives and property of the Negroes who formerly lived in Green River be protected. SOLDIERS' DEPENDENTS NOT TO BE VICTED On December 2, Justice Thomas' E. Murray of the Municipal Court held that the act of Congress providing that the dependent of a United States soldier paying less than $50 per month, could not be evicted for nonpayment until a period of 90 days had elapsed, should be 'interpreted to prevent the landlord from evicting a tenant in the property, which gives the landlord the absolute right to his property after five days' notice. The case was brought by the Renau Realty Company, owner of an elevator apartment, St. James Court, 2460 Seventh avenue, against Mrs. Irene Wilson, who was paying $46 per month and whose husband, Samuel Wilson, is serving in the 367th Regiment of Infantry at the Assistant District Attorney C. W. McDougall of 253 Broadway. When the case was called Mr. McDougall asked to be heard before the trial, and after reading his brief, he made a motion to dismiss the landlord's petition, which was granted. This decision is far teaching as it sets a precedent which will prevent the landlord from resorting to this intention theory to evade the act of Congress which was intended to protect soldiers' dependents. Judge Murray's decision now stands as law in New York and will most likely be followed in other states. Mr. McDougall is preparing a bill to be introduced in the Legislature at Albany to regulate the rental of property on the basis of an available value. The McDougall opinion is only effective way to prevent the landlord from fixing his rent at any figure he chooses. A meeting of the tenants of Harlem will be called within the next 15 days. The tenant will submit this bill in the coming session of the Legislature. How the Black Troops acquitted themselves in the last Big Drive, just before the armistice was signed, is told in a concise manner by First Lieutenant Arrington S. Helm, Senior Chaplain of the 372nd Infantry, in a letter to the Editor of THE AGE, from Somewhere in France, dated November 12: PETITION TO SEND NURSES TO FRANCE In connection with the Red Cross Drive a petition is being circulated for signatures, calling upon the Secretary of the army to he send some our nurses over to France to care for our boys. The petition says among other things: "You Mr. Secretary, we feel can do that. We are absolutely sure that you believe the square deal. We have sent you our nurses and we have fought and we have suffered the little battle and we feel that we are entitled to share in all of the honors." Our nurses are awaiting your command. The Black Troops acquitted themselves very creditably in the last Big Drive. The Troops referred to are those that were in our Sector; three Colored American Regiments and one Moroccan Division. We are in a French Division and the French General complimented the Black Troops very highly. He addressed us as Friends from the bottom of his heart. He expresses his gratitude for the glory which my Regiment helped to contribute to his Division. He always had full confidence in us; but we surpassed his hopes. Our Division has fought for nine days. During that time we advanced five miles in the lace of powerfully organized defenses; we took nearly 600 prisoners, captured 15 guns of different calibre, all 20 minutes before nearly 150 machine guns. We secured an enormous amount of engineering material and important supplies of artillery ammunition. The Red Hand is the insignia of our Division. The Red Hand Division took the enemy by the throat and made him cry for mercy. General Gaybet adds, "You have well avenged the Editor of THE AGE, from Somewhere in France, dated November 12." 92D DIVISION FOR ARMY OR OCCUPATION Spread the word of the Army or Occupation by making a statement to the Editor of THE AGE, from Somewhere in France, dated November 12.

C.—On Thursday morning, December 12, a conference was held between representatives of the National Medical Association and the Third Assistant Secretary of War, the Hon. Frederick P.

The representatives of the National Medical Association emphasized the discontent of the Negro medical profession over the discriminations practiced in the army, and also asked that in the demobilization and the reorganization of the army that Negro medical officers now in the service he given the same consideration as the white medical officers. Stress was also laid on the fact that the Negro trained nurses have not been called into service by the Red Cross to any extent. Mr. Keppel was very courteous and promised to give the matter due consideration. A memorandum setting forth the grievances of the National Medical Association was filed with the War Department. Special Assistant Secretary of War Emmet J. Scott was present during the conference and rendered valuable service to the committee. Those representing the National Medical Association were: Dr. D. A. Furguson, president, The Black Troops acquitted themselves very creditably in the last Big Drive. The Troops referred to are those that were in our Sector; three Colored American Regiments and one Moroccan Division. We are in a French Division and the French General complimented the Black Troops very highly. He addressed us as Friends from the bottom of his heart. He expresses his gratitude for the glory which my Regiment helped to contribute to his Division. He always had full confidence in us; but we surpassed his hopes. Our Division has fought for nine days. During that time we advanced five miles in the face of powerfully organized defences; we took nearly 600 prisoners, captured 15 guns of different powers and nearly 150 machine guns. We secured in enormous amount of engineering material and important supplies of artillery ammunition. He sent us all his thanks. "The Red Hand is the insignia of our Division. The Red Hand Division from the British say the throat and made him cry for mercy" - Goblenal Gaybet, adds. "You have well avenged our glorified dead" "General Garnie Duplessis commanded our army corps. He no addresses to us his most sincere thanks and warmest congratulations for the glorious success achieved by their admirable ardor and indomitable tenacity. He salutes the brave American regiments, who have rivalled in intrepidity their French comrades. He adds: "I cannot recount here the feats which have been performed for every one of the days of that victorious journeys on the battlefield, on the quured grounds, materialized by the trophies taken from the enemy and engraved in the heart of the chief who bows before the troops and salutes them profoundly." The Colonel, Quiller by name, commanding the I. D. (Infantry Division) has recommended the 372nd Regiment for a citation in the orders of the French army. "Gave proof during its first engagement of the finest qualities of bravery and daring, which are the virtues of assaulting troops. "Under the orders of Colonel Tupes, darted with superb gallantry and admirable scorn of danger of the assault of a position continuously defended by the enemy; taking it by storm under an exceptional machine gun fire, the enemy progressive in enemy artillery and in very severe losses. They made numerous prisoners, captured cannons, machine guns and important war material." The French General says our troops have been admirable in their attack. He says our Colonel has every reason to be proud of the courage of his officers and men. The General considers an honor to have us in his Division.

A memorandum was submitted for the consideration of the Secretary of War, stating that although the signing of the armistice has practically brought the war to a close, the substance of the agreement adopted at Richmond, Va., Aug. 28, 1918, and a copy of these resolutions was attached, as published in *Tenn. Act of Sept. 7.* bravery and dash, won the admiration of the Moroccan Division, who themselves are "shock troops." During those hard days, our Division was at all times in the advance of all other Divisions of the Army Corps. General Gaybet visited our wounded and found their morale higher than any praise. He sent us all his thanks. 92D DIVISION FOR ARMY OF OCCUPATION (Speaking to the Army Corps, and by Gaybet, Personnel of the National Division (National Army Negro) early cavalry home has been excavated.) In making this announcement the War Department gave no explanation, but the assumption here is that the division has been selected as a reserve unit held to reinforce the American army of occupation in Germany. In all probability this will prolong the stay of the colored regiments from six months to one year, SOLDIER PATIENTS FROM OVERSEAS ARE GIVEN CLUB DINNER SOLDIER PATIENTS FROM OVERSEAS ARE GIVEN CLUB DINNER War Camp Community Service Entertains Convalescents from Fort McPherson (Special to THE NEW YORK AUSTR) ATLANTA, Ga.—Sunday was a gala day in the Colored Soldiers' Club of the War Camp Community, Service, when an appreciation reception was tendered to convalescent soldiers from Fort McPherson. All of these men have been overseas and many had lost a limb. David Woodward, a wealthy white citizen, furnished turkey, bread, apples and cigars for the dinner. The colored citizens furnished ice cream, cake, coffee and other delicacies. The dinner was served in the cafeteria of the club. While the dinner was in progress Mr. Woodward came in and, after being served with a W. C. Macdonald of the colored department of the War Camp Community Service, made a brief but touching speech, in which he lauded the boys for their bravery and urged them to continue to show their patriotism in the coming period of reconstruction. A musical program then followed with an address by Dr. H. H. Proctor of the First Congregational Church. The winter series of Sunday afternoon concerts opened Dec. 8 with a community sing conducted by song leaders from Atlanta University and Morehouse College. Musicians from Camp Gordon took part on the program, all which was interesting, and entertaining. The club rooms here are well situated, and beautifully arranged. The first floor contains lounging rooms, lavatory with showers, cafeteria and kitchen. On the second floor is a spacious auditorium with rentable banquettes for sleeping accommodations. A large amount of money was spent in the remodeling and furnishing of the building, but all believe that this sum has been well spent. Dr. Howard T. Cree, formerly of Augusta, the community organizer, will work with the department head of the department of education in the State Normal School at Petersburg, Va. is the secretary of the work among colored people. (Special to The New York Am) COLUMBIA, S. C.-The kind of response to the big effort at Y. W. C. A. national headquarters in New York to bring the association in touch with the colored women of the South was strikingly effective for workers in the South Atlantic field held here Dec. 6-8. Besides the employed workers from this field there were many volunteer workers, representing almost every city, where there is a Y W. Z. a center, making arrangements of a number of significant groups of women ever assembled in South Carolina. Three secretaries from the national board in New York, Misses Bowles, Thomas and McGeorge, and the South Atlantic field secretary, Miss Adle Ruffin, conducted all of the conference from national headquarters Miss Crystal Byrd, girls' worker, and Miss Juliette Derricotte, student secretary, Miss Lucy C. Lanyen at James Institute, Augusta, Ga., and Mrs. Mary Jackson McCrovey of Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C., contributed to the program by visiting theresses they made at the Sunday afternoon meeting. The chief point of interest in the whole conference was in the presence and unusual personality of the one woman who during the past four years of the war has done at headquarters, as executive, as assistant and as far reaching for good as those who have lived in the trenches. Those who had not seen this executive, Miss Eva D. Bowles, were anxious to see her and to hear her speak, for the women all over this country have felt her influence for good in the work of the many able workers she has placed in her office. The institutions which have been established by her work at headquarters: Her knowledge of the whole national situation, her fine personality and administrative ability make her the excellent executive that she is and a most fitting person to represent our women at New York headquarter and her staff gave a new inspiration to the women of this section of the South. Among other war workers present were Anna Hope, ex-hostess, Camp Jackson; Lula Norris, T. Garland Lew, Columbia, S. C.; Marie C. Bowling, Irene T. Bowen, Augusta, Ga.; Pauline J. Sims, Charleston, S.

JUDGE TO ORDER (Special to The New York Age) DOTHAN, Ala., Dec. 2.—The government has in its employ in the government building here a cofedored janitor in the person of Henry Butler, who is no respecter of persons in the discharge government as janitor since the government building was finished in Dothan, and one more polite and efficient could not be found. Postmaster George Cotton, custodian of the building, had instructed "Uncle Henry to try to keep people from desiring beauty, as much as possible during the week's term of Federal court. People will thoughtlessly scratch the walls, put their feet in the windows or on the marble, wainscoting. "Uncle" Henry, the soul of tact and politeness, when he saw Judge Clayton prop one foot on the floor, and then me, judge, but I'm instructed to ask that one put his foot on these window sills." Judge Clayton, somewhat taken aback, said: "You get away from here—I'll have you put in jail. Mr. Marshal, arrest this man and put him in jail for ten years. To which 'Uncle' Henry politely and courteously replied, "All right, judge, I don't mind going to jail for ten days, but if I see you with your feet in the window again I shall have to ask that you take them down." The good natured judge, seeing such doom to duty, sees this offer for the sake of 'Uuncle' Heard, and he is still on the job at the postoffice, keeping it spotlessly clean. WOUNDED NON-COM (Special to THE NEW York Am) TERRE HAITER, Inj.-Sergeant Frank Booker is here for. a visit with his mother, Mrs. Margaret Booker, 1525 South Thirteenth and One-half street, having left the aid and the bea w was for medical treatment of his reporter, of the Tribune that he became dissatisfied with the treatment accorded himself and the rest of the colored men who arrived at the hospital. To quote Booker, the non-commissioned officers were anything else but kind to the lads who had been overseas, and who had been sent to America to recover from terrible wounds received in defense of freedom. Sergeant Booker has been in the army since he was nineteen years and ten men since he was a lieutenant of age. He wears a sharp-shooter's medal received in 1913 in the Philippines at the Fort McKinley rifle range, a Mexican border pin, another showing he was in front line trench duty, another which marks the fact that he was under command of other allied officers other than American, a citation badge won for taking, with other soldiers, two French towns from the Germans, and the greatest badge of all, two gold stripes on his sleeve showing that twice he has been in the country. He has been wounded since July 25, and yet fought on; he received another wound in September which sent him home. In speaking of why he left West Baden, Sergeant Booker declared that while the quarters and food were good, the colored men were fed in one corner of the dining room after the white soldiers were through, that if they were white, they would be offered, which is never asked of cripples, that generally they were treated as colored men, and not soldiers, while indignities were saped upon the colored officers. He told of a colored soldier, who had been in service for 30 years, who was abused by a youthful officer at West Baden. He will have to return to West Baden, but after being locked in skis ago, two weeks of which he was quarantine on Ellis Island, he remained but two nights at the resort hospital, coming to Terre Haute to visit his mother.

Seat for: CENTRE by Mall REDOLPH MED. CO., ATLANTA, GA. (Special to The New York Acad) WASHINGTON, D. C. The commissioner of education, a Southern man, issues an official statement of the wartime needs of colored schools. A few are widely known and well supported; others are inadequate, income from denominational and private sources. "But," to quote Dr. Caxton, "many of the best private schools, including especially the effective small schools of the industrial type, are independent in character, and have no income except from donations." These schools, of which South Carolina is the largest, are efficient workers in agriculture and other fields of essential labor, are hard hit by the war, the necessary war appeals having quite overshadowed them in the minds of their former helpers. At the same time the high cost of living and government calls for helpers at a living wage, he depicts these schools of many of the best teachers, and over a years "from sheer devotion to the work served for small salaries." These schools, "both of the academic and the industrial type, need money urgently; not only for the necessary work they have been doing for years, but to provide the special training imperative needed for large numbers of colored people in the war emergency"—and in the no less exigent emergency of world-reconstruction following peace. The Bureau of Education lists, in Bulletin 1916, No. 38-59, all colored schools, with the most recent recommendations. The bureau will gladly provide information to any 'one who is interested. The prosperity of big business and big development, largely depends, and especially in the South, on the character, training and efficiency of our millions of colored workers and citizens. DOVER, N.

The disfranchisement that hurts us most is that self-inflicted, cowardly disfranchisement. In Atlanta we should register 5,000 votes—whereas, we have only 800. Out of fifty educated Negro doctors, only four registered; out of one hundred Negro preachers, only six are voters; out of eight newspaper men, three are voters; out of one the head-rang leader the race is handicapped with, and the bunch that blots loudest about "world democracy." Last Wednesday we had an election, and ninety-five per cent of the race leaders were not qualified to vote to better the conditions of the public schools. Out of a dozen school teachers, not a one could vote; of the college presidents and professors, only six are qualified to participate in the "world democracy" they talk about every day—Atlanta Independent.

A HAMPTON SOLDIER AT GERMAN REST CAMP (Special to Turx New York Acz) HAMPTON, Va.—After weeks of hard fighting "in the open," the fortunes of war brought a former Hampton boy to a German rest camp in France which he describes in the Southern Workman as follows: "This camp was composed of numerous little bungalows. They were very pretty, with the fences, gardens and flower boxes which surrounded them. They contained stoves, desks, beds, carved chairs and lounges, cut-glass lamps and every other thing imaginable. The furniture, in many of them was made made and made very beautiful. In the dinky room of one house I found a table spread with bread, butter, coffee and spuds. Everything tasted good except the bread. That was terrible stuff—wet, sour and heavy." "There were plenty of good soft beds in every cottage. The first night it was too risky to try one of them, as the Germans were sure to start shelling the places, they had so recently left, therefore I made my bunk on the ground beside a pile of railroad ties. The next night the temptation was too great, and I piled up in one of the beds. Later I found out about and guess what I found on clean white enamel bath tub, something I had not seen since I left the States. It was not long before I was splashing in my new-found luxury. "I wish it were possible to keep all the souvenirs I found," but we have so many things of our own to carry, and we have to do so much marching that we have no room for souvenirs. All that I carried away was a German officer's belt. O: the buckle are these words. 'Gott mit uns.' Those words were out of place with the former owner of the belt; but, now they are rather fitting, as God is with us." Judge Beverly T. Crump "of Richmond. Va., has signed a decree declaring a dividend of 25 per cent to the depositors of the defunct savvies bank of the Grand Fountain, Under Order of the Royal House, closed its October 10, 1910.

A notable contribution to the discussion of the needs of Negro labor after the war was made in the address of Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics of the Department of Labor, published in a recent issue of THE AGR. The address was remarkable for the frankness and directness with which the speaker presented the essential things that the workers of the race consider that they should have as the outcome of the war. The usual effect of a government position is to put an extinguisher on the individual so placed as an effective exponent of the claims of the race, but it does not appear so in this case. Dr. Haynes stated the results of his canvass of the workers, both North and South, in a manner that should command the confidence and respect of both parties in interest. His concise resume of the essentials demanded by the workers speaks for itself. It included the following: First, they desire a fair chance to secure work and to hold it on the same conditions and with the same degree. Secondly, there is a widespread desire for education of all kinds. In the third place; there is a united desire for the removal of race discrimination in public courts and in public conveyances, and provision in city and country for the safe facilities of community improvement for them as for other folks. The fourth thing so generally desired by Negro workers can probably be best expressed in the words of an unlettered Negro tenant farmer in a Southern State, who said to a prominent business man presiding over meetings, "And sir, we want to help say who governs us". These essentials have been voiced before at greater length, but with no greater force and authority. The practical conclusions, arrived at by Dr. Haynes are equally pointed and should be studied with a view to a solution of the questions at issue. His plan of action as summarized was as follows: Three general facts have been touched upon in the course of the discussion which should be repeated in closing in order to point to a plan of action: First, all this adjustment of Negro workers North and South in their relation to white employers and white wage-canners needs some general plan of organization. Secondly, it may be stated that in every country, south, where the Department of Labor has instituted organized effort for adjustment, white employers and white workmen have looked with favor upon the plan, accepted it, and given hearty co-operation. Third, that the plan as now determined in Negro Workers' Advisory Committees made up on a co-operative basis of representatives of Negro wage earners, who employers and, wherever possible, white wage earners is a most effective, practical means of guiding all interests concerned. That as a governmental effort it can deal successfully with many of the problems growing out of the effect of war conditions upon Negro labor. We trust that the sanguine hopes expressed as to the efficacy of the plans proposed may be warranted by the results. At all events it is encouraging to find some one in an official position, possessing the courage to define the needs and outline a constructive program to meet the situation. Let the workers all pull together in an effort to achieve the desired results. EQUALITY OF EDUCATION. The National Security League has begun a nation-wide campaign for equal educational opportunity throughout the country. Robert M. McHeway the educational director of the League in defining its scope, said: In making real our rights to equality of education we must write this law: "No child may be deprived of the right to compulsory, equal education on account of race, color, place of residence, the will of parents, the will of city, county or state. That was the child born in the back country of South Carolina must go to elementary schools as good as those which exist in New York City or Boston and must have the way to higher education open in proportion to his talents. One of the development of the draft law was the revelation of the great percentage of illiteracy prevailing in certain sections of the country, especially in the Southern States. This has prompted various plans for the spread of education, through the medium of the Federal Government. If the late Senator Henry W. Blair had survived to see this day, he would have found his plans for Federal aid to education quite in vogue. Now that a primary-education has been proved essential to the making of the soldiers to fight for the country, it is more likely that the nation will take steps to provide that education for all of its citizens. If so, it may be counted as another benefit derived from the war. A WASTE OF EFFORT. This business of electing delegates to the Peace Conference at Versailles is being run into the ground. If all the delegates that have been named in the various States and churches were to sail for France it would require considerable shipping capacity to accommodate them all. The first proposition to hold a Peace Conference in this country at which a few representative men might be named to go abroad in an advisory capacity was within the bounds of reason, but the rage that has set in for electing full delegations from every locality would verge upon the absurd, if it did not involve such a waste of funds and effort. It might as well be understood that there is no sense or reason in this multiplying of so-called Peace delegations that will never get as far down the harbor as the Statue of Liberty. The sober sense of the race should put an end to the selection of such delegates and the collection of funds for the ostensible purpose of carrying them across the seas. Let the farce end before it becomes a tragedy. In paying a tribute to the loyalty of colored Americans, in the face of German propaganda, the World News of Roanoke, Va., says that the nation owes a debt of gratitude to the race for the way it stood by the flag from the outset. It also proposes practical ways in which this gratitude can be shown, namely in giving the Negro a square deal, and it adds, "not for the Negroes of New York, but for those of Roanoke and the State of Virginia. Better living conditions, better opportunities for industrial advancement and economic welfare." Succ utterances from a white paper of Virginia are significant. Let others begin the square deal at home. In the death of Robert Morris Whiting at the age of eighty-six years, Brooklyn has lost one of its most prominent public men. He was best known to the readers of THE AGE through his connection with the Howard Orphan Asylum, of which he was one of the managers for ten years and president for two years. He took an active share in the establishment of the farm at Kings Park, L. I., to teach the boys trades. He was also Commissioner of City Works and won the respect and esteem of all parties by his impartial treatment of city employees. Negro soldiers have no confidence in Negro officers, and as a rule are non-fighters under such. They are only fit for labor troops. Even under white officers it is difficult to handle them in engagements of modern warfare, where they don't have actual vision of their opponents. They can't stand the gaff of such fighting methods, any more than they can go into a fight after being encamped over night beside a cemetery. In open warfare, under white officers who have gained their confidence, they are veritable hell-hounds, but as all-around soldiers they have been a failure and the great mass of them have been put into labor battalions. There are exceptions, of course. I only speak of the average. There is a curious explanation of President Wilson's anti-lynching proclamation offered by the New York Sun, namely, that it was issued as a war measure to offset German propaganda. The Sun credits the President with a sincere determination to end the evil of mob violence, and adds that the manner in which he proposes to attack it will distract the attention of BREAKING THE SOLID SOUTH. In an interview given out last week, Will H. Hays, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, stated that he was about to tackle the solid South in a serious effort to upheave the Democratic foundations. Mr. Hays is reported as favoring the establishment of Southern headquarters at Asheville, N. C.; Knoxville, Tenn., or Atlanta, Ga., and making a campaign for electoral votes in 1920. Members of the Democratic National Committee, are of course, interested in the movement. They realize that a break in the solid South on national issues would cripple the Democratic party; in fact, would really put it out of business. They express the opinion, however, that the Republicans will find the job such a troublesome one that they will give it up. Leaders of the Democratic party point out what they believe to be two serious problems that the Republicans will have to face and solve in working out the plan which Mr. Hays contemplates. They say that as soon as the Republicans begin to encourage the Negro vote in the South, they will stir up such bitter race animosities that the entire white vote will be more solidly unified. They also say that, on the other hand, if the Republicans disregard or discourage the Negro vote of the South, the Negro voters of the North, East and West will show resentment against the party for its neglect or elimination of their brothers in the South. The Republican leaders are making much of the fact that the returning colored soldiers will be entitled to vote regardless of the various qualifications which are laws in the Southern states; and there is no doubt that this fact is already worrying political leaders in those Southern states where the Democratic margin is narrow. Breaking the solid South is a game that the Republican party has played at several times before; and each time it has done with no benefit to the party and a great deal of damage to the Negro. All colored citizens who are familiar with political history in the Southern states know the results of the "Lily White" movements. Nothing that could happen would bring greater political good to the county in general and the Negro in particular than the breaking of the solid South. Political independence of the white South would mean the political independence of the black South. But we see no hope of bringing this about through the methods that have heretofore been employed by the Republican party. What have these methods been? Northern Republicans have flirted with Southern Democrats, and the Democrats have told the Republicans that if the Negro were eliminated there would be some chance of the Republican party carrying some of the Southern states. The result has been that the Negro was eliminated and the states of the solid South remained, as before, in the Democratic column. On his home ground, the Southern Democrat is a better politician than the Northern Republican. "The Republican goes into the South on a mission; he is entertained as only the Southerner knows how to entertain; he glows under such generous hospitality, and he says to himself, 'Why, these are the finest people in the world'; then tales of the ignorance, vice and general worthlessness of the Negro are poured into his ears, and he reaches the conclusion that the colored brother is both a handicap and a detriment to the party. It is largely through such processes that the Negro has been politically eliminated. We want to see the solid South broken, it would be a good thing for the country and for the South, but we do not want to see it done by sacrificing the Negro. The great danger for us in any coming together of the North and the South is that it generally is not a coming together, but a going over of the North to the South. So far as the interests of the Negro go, and a conflict between the North and the solid South is better than an alliance. Experience shows that whenever the North and the solid South have come together on the Negro, the Negro has either been squeezed out or smothered between the two. Of course, the conditions in the doubtful states of the border are different. The effort to put those states in the Republican column can be made through a legitimate political contest. Both parties can place their candidates, their speakers, their workers and their campaign literature in the field, and make an appeal on men and issues for the votes of the people. But no such methods can be attempted, much less carried out, in Georgia and South Carolina and Mississippi. In these states of the real solid South the attempt could be made only through a deal, and a deal that would involve the elimination of the Negro. Let the Republican party, by all means, make strenuous effort to break the solid South, but not by sacrificing the Negro. Let it make active campaigns in the border states, and on the solid South let it bring pressure, the pressure of a reduction of representation, if necessary. The solid South should be broken, for it is the strangler of liberty in the South itself and a menace to the whole country; but in our opinion it cannot be broken through compromise, it must be broken by force. At last the full truth has come out concerning the thing about which there were so many dark rumors during the early days of the war. Captain George B. Lester of the Military Intelligence Bureau told before the Senate Investigating Committee last week all that he knew regarding German propaganda among Negroes in the United States, and, of course, Captain Lester knows all there is to be known. The Captain testified that the Germans maintained a separate department for spreading propaganda among the colored people, and that the field work was conducted by a man by the name of von Reiswitz principally in the states of Texas; Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia; a little work being done also in North and South Carolina and Tennessee. The important part of Captain Lester's testimony was as follows: "The attempt was also made to win the Negro race to the cause of Germany by innumerable arguments. The Negro leaders who were subsidized, or attempted to be subsidized, in various local communities. I do not mean the big leaders of the Negro race, but small men scattered here and there, told the Negroes that in Germany the blacks were equal to the whites, that in Europe they had no color line. They exhibited statements, presumed to be authentic, to this effect and argued with them that, if Germany won the war the rights of the colored people in the South would be equal to those of the whites. "However, their whole system was actually broken up, so far as the civil population was concerned, before 1917; on account of the high wages paid, and the demand for labor in the North." Captain Lester, inadvertently or otherwise, gave the colored people no credit for incorruptible loyalty; he rather implies that if the migration to the north had not come about, the Germans might possibly have succeeded. Nevertheless, his testimony shows what he himself did not say, and that is that German money did not and could not touch the colored American. He says the attempt was made to subsidize the leaders of the race, not the big leaders, but small men here and there. Who were these small men? Why were they not arrested and put in prison? White men during the war were given twenty years for lesser offenses. Were these men so small that their actions did not amount to a crime? In this investigation the names of many white men, big and small, have been made public; some of these men were guilty of no pro-German activities that were known, but their names had been found in lists of those considered favorable to the German cause by the German agents. Nevertheless, their names have been made public in connection with German propaganda, and they have a mark put upon them that it will be hard to take off. How is it then, that, so far as the testimony has been made public, not the name of a single Negro has been given? How is it that although there were one or two trials of obscure colored ministers on charges of pro-Germanism, there has not been, so far as we have been able to learn, a single conviction? We do not believe that this is due to any special consideration which Captain Lester wishes to show or any leniency on the part of the Department of Justice; we believe it to be because of the lack of definite evidence and proof. We believe it to be because of the fact that most of the talk about German propaganda among colored people was mere rumor and sprang from a panicky state of mind due to guilty conscience. We repeat what we said at the beginning of the war and what we have said all through the war; there might have been an effort on the part of the Germans to influence the Negroes of this country, but the effort was a vain one; whatever dissatisfaction has been shown or expressed by the colored people of the United States has never been due in any degree to pro-German propaganda, but to anti-Negro propaganda. DISCREDITING THE COLORED SOLDIER. We may look for a good many efforts in the near future to discredit the reputation which the colored soldiers have made in Europe. These efforts will come mainly from those who have all along been opposed to the Negro's participation in the war as a soldier. We are going to hear that the Negro makes a pretty fair soldier; that is, if he has white officers. We are going to have told us that the Negro is no good as an officer, and even if he is a good officer, the men have no confidence in him and will not follow him. Of course, it is harder for a Negro to be a good officer than it is to be a good private, soldier; not only because it requires greater ability, but because so often his superior officers are against him, they conspire to make him a failure, whereas, they do all they can to make their troops successful. A good many interesting stories of that sort of thing in this war could be told by our commissioned men. So we had just as well be prepared to hear the statement made and repeated that the colored officer is no good. But it seems that some of our Southern friends are going so far as to try and discredit the colored private. We see that Ned Brace, the name under which the editor of the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald conceals himself, writing from Chaumont, France, on November 1, says: AMERICAN NEGROES ASKED TO SAVE AFRICA Hundreds of Negro students in Methodist theological seminaries throughout the United States have been invited by U. N. Ruffin, a member of the London Chamber of Commerce, to the mission to organize the initialization of Hottentots, Hereros and other black tribes in former German colonies in southwest Africa. Mr. Ruffin, speaking as a guest at the annual conference of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church at a recent session held in Yonkers, intimated that the British government stood ready to finance edu- nation in American Negroes who would go to Africa to help them lift the blacks there, who, he said, were impoverished and weak as the result of German misrule. "Negro soldiers only fit for labor troops," "can't stand the gaff," "as all-round soldiers they have been a failure." We suppose it was for these reasons that the French army authorities cited the entire old Fifteenth Infantry, the only Negro regiment of the New York State Guard, for the Croix de Guerre. If any other entire unit in the whole American army has been similarly cited, we have not heard of it. Bishop U. W. Andersen, of Cincinnati, who introduced Mr. Ruffin, referred to the $80,000,000 fund which the Methodists plan to raise by June L. Part of this money is to be devoted to missions in Africa. Among others who meet on conditions the dark continent has chosen A. P. Johnson of Liberia; Bishop J. C. Hartrell, of Ohio; and Bishop J. B. Scott, of Nashville, Tem. We should like Mr. "Brace" to tell us if he knows of any unit in the Alabama State Guard that has made such a record as all-round soldiers and men who could stand the gaff as the old New York Fifteenth. The greatest notoriety won by the white troops of the Alabama State Guard was when some of them tried to shoot up this same Fifteenth regiment when it was encamped with them down on Long Island. French families have pledged themselves "to keep the graves of American soldiers green," according to the Rev. Ralph B. Urrym, pastor of a Newark, N. J., church, who recently returned from Y. M. C. A. work overearn. INDEPENDENT STATE FOR AFRICAN PEOPLE MONTREAL, CANADA—Plans are now well under way to secure to the Negroes of Africa and their kinsmen throughout the world sovereign rights to the lately conquered German territories in Africa, according to Dillon C. Govin, secretary of the Association of Universal Loyal Negroes. Mr. Govin says that a campaign for this purpose in Canada and the United States has been fought through the African League. Co-operation in England is Duse Mohamed, editor of the African Times and Orient Review. the promoters of the movement are endeavoring to secure signatures to the following memorial: "The undersigned strongly endorses the Memorial issued by the Association of Universal Loyal Negroes of Panama, which is to be presented at the Allied Peace Conference, praying that one or all of the Government African societies be given to the establishment of a Sovereign and Independent Negro State. This is a mark of faith and a tangible recognition of the loyal sacrifices of Africans and members of their blood from all parts of the world, made during the great struggle alleged to secure the rights of small nations." The Barnett Hospital and Nurses' Training School, located in Huntington, W. Va., was incorporated through the office of the Secretary of State with an authorized capital of five thousand dollars. --- COLOR AND THE DEITY. (BY W. Pinkman) "God's a Nigger!" This expression was uttered by a white man of the post office in Charleston, W. Va., during the influenza epidemic. And this expression, like the "flu," took among the people. This main thought that the influenza germ had shown that God was partial in favor of black people. This suspicion is not justified. Whatever other attack, it may be brought against influenza germ if it artificially tree from race and color prejudice. That attacked those who were fit for its attack, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude or of unserviceableness. But it just happened through some immunizing process known as color-blindness, the colored American seemed to be somewhat fortified against this particular germ than was the white American. That was no fault of the germ. If this germ has eyes (which may be doubted), I dare say it is color-blind; it seems to work prin- lature. The germ in german- language, it attacks those who may be attacked. I have heard of another member of this Germ family, whose given name is Tuberculosis, and who seems to find his best chance to live in the bodies of black people; and I have to mention that the germ was color-prejudice on the part of this man only opportunity. In fact, no germ yet covered has been proven to be capable of stooping to that vile thing called Race Prejudice. As a matter of fact, however, white people suffered and died from the opposition from the influenza germ, which fact is the post-office man to ejaculate in a crowd: "God's a nigger!" Presently we will discuss the philosophy of this ejaculation—for we believe it is more truth than the opposite statement would imply. If the notion of babies and fools to make it terrifying whose profound significance they do not themselves appreciate, I was not told the utterance, but I will write a guess that he is not one of the babies. Before coming to that, however, I wish to say a word or two in defense of Mother Nature, who in fact shows clearly that she is no respecter of persons or of artificial considerations. Even the higher animals seem to be free of mere color-prejudice or feature-prejudice, and they may manifest instinctive traits toward, members of other species (as animals and dogs)—but man is the only creature who stoops to mean and artificially created. prejudice within his own species, inspired by such shallow considerations as color, skull-shape, foot-shape and other superficialities. Even the cattle or the pigs of different colors and skulls may fraternize. Now, disease generally may not retiring in disposition and less prominent in public eye than are cattle and pigs; but from what little I have seen of them and from the great deal I have seen of the fruits of their work, I judge them to be as impartial as Mother Nature herself. Of course, I have heard human lecturers, prompted by their own feelings, no doubt, ascribing to Tuberculosis in judice against black people. That is shared. This germ perhaps finds ex-Africans biological circumstantially, or in both ways, bitter, for its work. But what people set out to prove, they generally prove, even if they must turn their own rules inside-out. For example: When Negroes die faster, it is often ascribed to their inferiority. But Maryland could be the Eastern Shore of Maryland beyond that germ were having relatively little colored people, she is reported to have said: "Well, that proves that they are not nuthan like the rest of us!" But now to the philosophy of the statement: "God's a nigger." If God wanted to identify himself with anybody in the United States, why not with the "niggers?" When He chose to come into the world that was owned and bossed by the Romans, He did not come as a proud Roman, but as a despised and helpless Jew. Is not the heart of the Eternal sympathetic? He shows a disposition to identify himself with those who are right, and especially when they happen to be right and wronged at the same time. Note that expression—not "right and wrong," but right and wronged—wronged. When man was battling a losing battle against the devil, God decided to become, not one of the mighty devils, but a Man, to identify himself with the weak and wronged party. And after deciding to become a man, what man? Romans were then the "big" people of the world, but God became a Jew. He might just as easily have become a great Roman general and gotten the kowtows of all creation. Or better still, He could have incarnated himself in Augustus and received the homage of the mighty. But He didn't. I have always said and I always will believe that God has in large measure all of the good things which He has given in smaller measure to man—and one of these good things certainly is a sense of humor! God would not think of siding up with the "mighty" and haughty and vain, when it is so much more fun to be found adding: His power the "weak" and humble and real! If He wanted to rub shoulders with men in this generation, I have no idea that He would come as Teutton or even as Anglo-Saxon. But what opportunities and what a great elimination His heart would have to become identified at Chinese coolie or a "German coolie." or spiritual things. If God chooses to be more than another in America, it may still be said thoughtfully and reverently that "God's a nigger."

THE OLD 15TH IN SIGHT OF THE RHINE Dr. William P. Hayes of Mr. Olivet Baptist Church has received the following letter from David E. Norman, Sergeant-Major 3d Battalion, 369th U. S. Infantry, telling how the members of the old 15th got in sight of the Rhine: No doubt but that you have been looking daily for a letter from across the deep blue sea, but this is the first real opportunity for writing since our return from the recent great allied victory, which has proven to be a great victory indeed. France is in a great disgrace by the abrasion from these beautiful Alaskan mountains can be heard the ringing of bells, the firing off of rockets of all kinds, the explosion of ammunition dumps, which the Germans are destroying, and many other noises. It is all that our sentries can do to prevent the Germans from coming in, and to keep their kith and kin away but in a state of starvation and have had to be fed. That I am able to pen you these few lines this cool November morn is only one of the many manifestations of the goodness and power of the Almighty. During the months of September and October we were engaged in the greatest offence of the world. Our objective was bravely and heroically met. This particular position had been held by the Germans since 1914 and is where the French under Gen. Joffre were unsuccessful and lost so many men. While the neighboring hills and valleys are strewn with the remains of our comrades, who cheerfully gave up their lives for this great cause, and uplifted hearts to say "thank God." for none but God could have piloted us through such a catastrophe. The surrounding grounds, trenches and hills were littered for hours, yees days, with our many wounded and dead who endured their pains with the greatest fortitude, while our sanitary and Red Cross men worked diligently mid the course of Olympos, the continued to wear, which made matters worse. We were scattered here and there over the hills with nothing save the broad sky for a shelter, many having cheerfully given up their rain coats and blankets to cover the wounded and dead. Machine gun bullets whizzed continuously through the grass, while over the hills we saw the great winged messengers from the long-range guns, depositing themselves in full view, rousing out of their holes rabbits and foxes, who scampered here and there, while splinters of fying frapnel claimed a victim now and then, This greatest of drives started and we sincerely hope it now has ended, victories for the Book. The hills appalachians were deep in midnight slumber, the stillness being broken only at intervals by the distant sound of a roaring cannon or the firing of a signal. As the starter snaps the trigger of a pistol which sets the fleet-footed runners afoot, so at a given signal this world's greatest drive started. It seemed as if the cannon had been turned loose, pardon the language, but even that is putting it mildly. The profound silence gave way to the mighty roaring of a thousand cannon, the bursting of shells, flashing signal lights; rockets lit up the elements. From every nook and corner the echoes rebounded, high up in the skies abreak of dawn, above the noise and roar of the cannon could be heard the distant sound of cracking and popping of their machine guns which occasionally sent a machine diving headlong earthward. Advancing day after day, over hill and down dale, until our objective was reached, we passed on our way numberless German prisoners being marched to the rear. We would stop for a few minutes to rest in a newly made hole stop the hills and perhaps to take a bite of our rations, which we carried out again by the bursting of a shell. I need not go further into the details of the great Allied success, as I am sure the New York papers are giving it far better than I could possibly do. When we came back there was not—not "the 600." We are now enjoying these pleasant November days in the mountains of the garden spot of France. We do not know when we shall receive order to be awed by a waiting for them to come any moment. The Rhine is visible from our location. Civilians are coming through our wires by the thousands daily, seeking food and their families. ORGANIZING LABOR (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA) Eirie, PA—The great influx of Negro laborers from the South, during the past two or three years, has led to the organization of the Negro Workers' Advisory Committee. The organization was the result of an investigation made by Harry E. Arnold, a special examiner for the Department of Labor. The officers selected were: C. C Kittrell, president; the Rev. P. C. Childs, vice-president; Margaret J. Kitterell, secretary and John Hicks, treasurer. President Kittrell surrounded himself with a number of working units, such as an Executive committee, a committee on Survey and Investigations, committee on Housing and Sanitation, Efficiency of Employees, Publicity, Distribution of Industry and Composed exclusively of women to look into the condition of Negro women and girls in domestic service, and, otherwise employed. The Negro Workers' Advisory Committee of Erie is one of a number of such committees which have been organized in other cities in different parts of the country and is authorized by the Department of Economics of the U. S. Department of Labor and will work in co-operation and harmony with the white citizen' committee interested in this work WORKERS ORGANIZE FOR PROTECTION (Special to The New York Am) BUFFALO, N. Y.—About three hundred working men and women attended a mass meeting at Dold's Hall, 463 Michigan street, Sunday afternoon, 6:30. B. Scott, former attorney of Fr. W. Ivory, Inc., opened the meeting. He said that a few working men had met and discussed the necessity of a civic labor organization among our people in this city. Twenty-five of them had organized the American Colored Workmen League, to establish and maintain closer bonds of union between colored working men and to see to it that colored workmen get justice. It will affiliate with the Negro Educational Congress, National Negro Business League, National Equal Rights National Association of Colored Women, National P. P. National League on Urban Conditions and the American Federation of Labor. Thirty new members were enrolled and within a few weeks the League will open up a permanent headquarters, to be used as a community center. A SOLDIERS' RELIGION (Special to The New York Act) HARRISIUM, Pa.—The solace of religion easing the hardships, of war is illiterate in the Bible, from Lieut. W. H. Markley, serving with the expeditionary forces in France. He says: "Would you ever have believed that my nerves would have stood up as they have, being constantly under fire for a month? But I have been and am now just as well as can be. I stood up and have conquered prayer and reading Bible. I have no idea what a comfort it has been to me to read God's word and to be in constant communication with Him by prayer. I feel His presence with me all the time and I am not the least bit excited when a shell hits near, for have His peace with me?" I pray: "O have His peace with me!" I pray: "O have His peace with me!" I keeping; do for me as Thou knowest best and all will be well." "The month of June is a month that will always be vivid in my memory. It will always be a month, though I live a hundred years, when I recall it I will have to thank God that I am now writing this to you. A pang of deep sorrow will always pierce my heart when I think of some of my bosom friends who have made the supreme sacrifice with them on their faces and their eyes turned to God. Plunging forward in that seething mass of hell, have met their end like true Americans. It is a sight that will always be vivid, an experience, that has changed me over night from a man seeking adventure to a man who has shaken dice with death, who has seen the grim monster reach out his cold, scaly hand and pick out so many brave men, but thanks to the Guardian Angel I am still alive, there is any man who has come to the site in the man go over the top just once. It will do more to convince him than a thousand years of religious meetings. Religion has played a strong part in the lives of the men in France, especially the Afro-Americans, who worshipped as they fought." (Special to TIME New York Aug.) The result of the work of the committee of the colored division of the United War Work Campaign in the parish of Orleans is more gratifying by far and shows the patriotism of the colored people in a greater degree than earlier reports of the war. The five thousand dollars in pledges and cash contributions was given in the earlier reports as coming from the colored people. But later returns have increased the amount to over fifty thousand and on Thanksgiving Day there were still more pledges and cash coming in. Dr. R. E. Jones, of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, the executive secretary of the colored division, who is largely responsible for the organization which put the drive over the top, is of the opinion that final results of the work of the organization and people of Louisiana contributed in the neighborhood of $80,000, a showing that would have been twice as much but for the epidemic of Spanish influenza. This opinion is shared by many others who have given thought to the result of the work carried on through a period when the health authorities would not permit a single gathering in the open air or in a building, and a meeting of those named as captains, lieutenants and the like to discuss and adopt plans of operation. The Victory girls and the Victory boys went into the work with enthusiasm and the ward captains and lieutenants and their aids gave all the time and devotion they possibly could to the work. It was truly wonderful to see the result they accomplished in the short time they had to do it in. Some who had never thought of earning pennies caught the "earn and give" spirit. KNOTTY PROBLEM OF (Special to THE New York'Ark) PHILADELPHIA, PA. — The Workman's Compensation Board last Wednesday heard a protest against the inclusion of a hotel waiter's tips as a basis for compensation for injuries. Objection was filed with the Board by an insurance company, which has been denied P. Gaines, employees in a Chestnut street of Gaines' hands was injured while he was handling a dumbwaiter. According to the insurance concern, Gaines' weekly wage was $3, the remaining $11 on which he has been receiving compensation, represented by tips. The board has the knotty problem to solve. A Faithful Shepherd. The preacher was in the middle of an exhaustive discourse, when he suddenly looked round, then beckoned to the sexton. "Jones, open a couple of windows on each side of the church, please." "Beg your pardon, sir," was the reply "did I understand you to say open the windows?" "Yes," was the retort; "it is not healthful to sleep with the windows shut!"—Strong Stories. PORO COLLEGE BUILDING ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. PENDLETON AVE. ST. PERDINAND AVE.

C.—One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings that has filled Bethel Church in a long time was held Wednesday evening last, under the auspices of the Association of Anchorage Teachers. The given subject for discussion was "What Do We Expect to Get Out of the War." Chairman Archibald H. Grimke made an analytical presentation of the subject and Prof. Roscoe Conklin Bruce and James Weldon Johnson on New York made brilliant and eloquent presentations that were deeply to the sentimental and intellectual side of the audience. Mr. Johnson's presentation was at times highly dramatic and carried the audience off its feet. John R. Shillady spoke briefly, making an appeal for contribution and lined up lynching fund the association is getting together. The response was generous. The U. S. Patent Office has granted a patent, N. 125,8748, to A. U. Craig for an invention in cushion supports for vehicles. The invention comprises a device for quickly absorbing the minor forces measured on the vehicles on their axles, and is said to be of much practical value in the use of motor vehicles. Mr. Craig was formerly an instructor in the Armstrong Technical High School of Washington and has had wide experience, as a mechanical expert in automobile construction.

Taylor, in the absence of President Moore, took the chair, while Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett of Chicago acted as secretary. The committee on creation and the states were represented and 225 delegates were present. W. Monroe Trotter read the call. After a lively discussion it developed that a great many present who did not belong to the Equal Rights League had come here under the call which allowed other organizations to take part in the deliberations, the point being raised as to whether the committee for the presenting Rights League had re-volved itself in the deliberations, was decided that the meeting was under the jurisdiction of the Equal Rights League. At the time of the sending of this communication a permanent organization had been perfected.

Pershing asked for a singing army because he knew that soldiers who went singing into battle came out victors. The government asked for a singing nation to back the army—the War Camp Community Service jumped into the breach and organized its "Liberty Sings." Now there are hundreds of thousands of people singing all over the United States, says a writer in the New York Evening Mail. "Led by War Camp song leaders, the workers sang in the shipyards, in the munition plants and on the streets. Now that the war is over, "Liberty Sings" are being held everywhere and each day more thousands are learning the words of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the other great hymns that make the American nation. The most interesting thing about these "Liberty Sings" is that the people really do sing-men, women and children all in. "They seem to want to sing," said Rypaild Haynes, director of the New York War Camp Community Service. "They join in just as though they had been singing all their lives and it is most inspiring to hear them. Strange as it may seem, the men are as keen on the singing as the women. They lead as soon as the songs get going and their voices rise above the crowd in a drop that is nothing less than thrilling. For the first time in the history of this country the people are hearing their national airs. It is safe to say that not one per cent of the American people knew the words of The Seat-Springed Banner before the Song started and now there are thousands who do. We find that the Song movement is spreading, rapidly and we expect to hold at least fifty a week by the warmer." At a number of the shipyarders the ships were initiated on singing certain songs, over and over again. At the Shepherds Island yard a grunted old man jumped to the platform and demanded that the men again sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." They complied with great enthusiasm. Afterward he explained he had fought for the flag during the Spanish-American war and that now his two boys were "over there with the fighting Sixty-ninth." Patriotic features of many of the "Songs" are the children, whose piping voices can be heard shirling through the others, singing as though their little lives depended on it. Even those too young to read are familiar with the words of our national anthem, for it is a matter of honor among the rising generation to be able to sing "our songs." --- At the theatre the other evening I chanced to sit back of two Canadian veterans, writes a leading dramatic critic. My attention was attracted by their attitude toward the singers of songs extolling the heroism of the American soldier and the American army—songs that declared in so many badly rhymed words that if it had not been for us the war would never have been won by the Allies, seeing that we had to go over to "show 'em how to fight." The Canadians smiled, but they did not applaud. For that matter, neither did two American soldiers sitting alongside me, though they, too, were veterans who had seen service, knew what it was to be wounded in action, and probably were decently proud of their army. Then an anemic comedian explained that not until he heared the Yankees were coming did the Kaiser decide to quit; also that if it had not been for the grand old U. S. A. the world would have been shaggedher. One of the Canadians nudged the other—quietly, politely, as one assumed not offended, and determined not to appear in the least critical of a have and helpful ally while he was a guest in that ally's country. And it occurred to me that a word to the wise comedians and song writers, might be a good thing just now. For if they are wise they will realise that the American soldier is already as fed up on that sort of claptrap as are his fighting allies. He lives to be given credit for what he has done, and none is more deserving, but he has come home with not only a wholesome respect for what the other fellows have done but with a comradely feeling for them that fairly shrivels with shame when he hears a lot of twaddle about his having gone over to 'to teach 'en how to fight' and that sort of thing. The best victory war song I've heard, and the only one that has won anything like a genuine response from the audience, is that called "Carrying On," sung by the trench pals in "The Better Ole." And it is the best largely because it gives credit to all the participants. Silly, I suppose, to take song writers and comedians seriously. But there may be one or two or three of them we can reach before they write any more of the awful things. Frank Kane, formerly of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry, and once chef on dining cars and on a yacht, joined the Foreign Legion in 1914 and served until last January, when he was discharged for wounds. He gained Meanwhile seven decorations, including the Croix de Guerre and the Medaille Militaire. Now he is reported destitute at New Orleans. HALL CAINE'S GREAT PLAY AT THE LAFAYETTE A play like that which will be at the Lafayette Theatre next week should appeal to all people. In Hall Caine's wonderful offering entitled "The Christian," we do not have to stretch the imagination in saying that no more appropriate drama could have been found for Christmas week. The very name of the offering carries an appeal that should arrest our attention; to bear the wonderful story written by one of the world's leading dramatists should be sufficient to rest the most weary soul. From the Isle of Man to a saloon in London, and then St. Mary. Magdalene's church in Soho, is a long journey, but with the art of the experienced craftsman, Hall Caine has woven his story. When the redemption of a soul almost lost comes, few who will view this production will fail to voice the opinion that Christmas week has been well served at the Lafayette Theatre. Sermons as strong, and sometimes stronger, than those preached from the pulpit have been heard in theatres, but this one which is artfully traced through a well told and entertaining story has set thousands of thoughts in a new and healthier direction, and "The Christian" should receive the acclaim seldom given to a show of its kind.

CAMP LOGAN, TEX.-A minstrel show was given in the Liberty Theatre on Nov. 30, under the direction of Test Dalton, the dramatic director for the camp, by the 57th Infantry Minstrels, supported by the 57th Infantry Orchestra. Original music was composed by Corporal Michel LeBlanc, of 57th Infantry Regiment Band, and "We Don't Want the Bacon," by Private Russell, of Headquarters Company, 57th Infantry. The Minstrels were produced under HAMPTON AND UNION HAMPTON, VA.—The Hampton Institute S. A. T. C. held the strong Virginia Ginnion University S. A. T. C. to a scoreless game at Hampton Institute, on Saturday, Dec. 7. The game, which had been scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, was the last of the season and attracted a large crowd. Union received the kick and began a series of long end runs, which netted her several first downs. She was finally forced to kick, however, and the Hampton backfield began to plunge the Union line. The ball was advanced about 15 yards before Hampton kicked. Hocules of Union, in receiving the kick, had his leg hurt and was rendered useless in the game. Neither side was successful in making many gains in the remainder of the first quarter. The second quarter opened with the ball in Hampton's possession on Union's 40-yard line. The "blue and white" machine immediately began to open gaps in the "crisonon" line of the Unionites as "Bulldog" Williams plunged the line. The ball was advanced to Union's 20-yard line, and it seemed as though the psychological moment for a touchdown had arrived, but the Union line strengthened and the ball was finally lost on downs. Hucles made a forward pass to Cogbell for a 20-yard gain and several end runs soon brought the ball out of the danger zone. The ball was thus brought back to the center of the field as the first half ended. In the second half Hampton again kicked to Union, but soon regained the ball. The "Seaiders" immediately began a more open game by attempting several forward passes. The ball soon changed, hands again, and Union advanced the ball to the center of the field. Hucles then attempted a drop, kick, which narrowly missed the goal. The ball then went into Hampton's possessions as the third quarter ended. The last quarter opened with faster work from both sides. Hampton lost the ball on downs, and Union carried the ball to her 40-yard line. Hucles again tried his drop kick, but failed. The ball was then lost on a fumble, and Hampton succeeded in bringing the ball into Union's territory before it was lost. A short forward pass and several end runs soon brought the ball back up the field for the Richmond lads. A long forward pass was then attempted, but was unsuccessful. Several end runs by McGuinn and Howard brought the ball to Hampton's 20-yard line, and the time seemed ripe for Union to make a touchdown, but the strong tackling of Scott and O'Brien saved the situation for Hampton, and the "blue and white" regained the ball. After making several first downs, Nelson made a forward pass to Long, which netted a gain of 40 yards. With only two minutes to play, Hampton made a last desperate effort to make a touchdown, but the whistle blew with the ball in Hampton's possession on Union's 20-yard line. Although neither side scored, the game was full of thrills from beginning to end. The Hampton team placed its usual good game, but lost its advantage by not scoring in the first half. The unusually good work of the Hampton line and of George Williams in the backfield prevented the Unionists from scoring. The work of Cogbell and Howard for Union was exceptionally good, but he not winning the game the Union eleven denied itself of the championship, of which it seemed so confident. WILLIAMS' WORLD COLORED SINGERS FAMOUS ```markdown ``` the auspices of the Commission of Training Camp Activities, War-Department, and through the co-operation of the performers, the musicians, Mr. Cutting, Manager of the Liberty Theatre, Colone' Baker, of the 57th Infantry Regiment and Brigadier-General Henry of this camp. Part 1 of the program, which preceded the minstrel show, was as follows: Mr. Forsyth in a ballad--The Whole World Was Made Just for You," Mr. O'Brien in his popular comedy song-- WILL H. VODERY Will H. Vodery, bandmaster of the 807 Infantry, in a personal letter to Alex Rogers, written in France, Nov. 22, has the following to say about the band: "To begin with I am well and have been well ever since leaving the States, although there has been a lot of sickness all around me. The band has made over good; with a bunch of raw green material. I have worked it up to the place that I can say I've got a real band. Headquarters has taken us away from the regiment and attached us to the headquarters as post band of the first army. "Gulfport, Opal Cooper, Eddie Stafford, Grandstaff, Blackburn, with the assistance of about twenty good voices, have put on a knock-out show, and seem to please them everywhere. Charlie Thorpe, along with the rest of the bunch, wishes to be remembered. We were commanded, to play for the President of France on the 20th at Verdun and he said, in his language, it is 'astounding to hear such, wonderful music.' Well, those babies certainly did play. We have really done, our bit and made good." I Was Standing on the Corner." Mr. Crass—"A Good Gal is Hard to Find." Mr. Johnson, Mr. Crass, Mr. Harris and Mr. Cotts, the Sith Quartet in—The Henry Clay" and "The Spanish Song." Mr. Klein in the character song—"Emaina Hy Gal." Mr. Bruce Wiley in a dance specialty; Mr. Johnson—"Three Wonderful Letters From Home." Mr. Lepp in his famous Vodel Song with Calipe Chorus; Mr. Russell in the Sith Infantry Regiment song, written by himself. NOVELTIES AT THE LAFAYETTE A new lease of life seems to have been given to the efforts of General Manager Levy of the Quality Amusement Corporation, if we are to judge by the announcements being made from the headquarters on Seventh avenue. The first announcement to attract the attention of the amusement public was the one telling of the coming into his own again of Jesse, A. Shipp, the famous producer who for many years wrote and collaborated with Alex Rogers and others in producing the Williams and Walker shows. Mr. Shipp is known all over America and Europe for the finished manner in which he presents his offerings, and he has been retained by the Quality Amusement Corporation to stage and direct some musical reviews and perhaps other productions within the next few weeks. Mr. Shipp has started immediately to get together his forces for the successful presentation of these shows, and the lovers of the best along the theatrical lines can look forward with pleasurable anticipation to the genius of the colored theatrical world. Another announcement that casts a shadow of great things to come is that of a non-professional Sunday maine commencing this Sunday, e.Dc. 22. Although this is nothing new to those who have followed theatricals, it is a new departure b) the Quality Amusement Corporation and one that should meet with instant favor. Every Sunday, commencing this Sunday, Dec. 22. All will be distributed to aspiring amateurs and others on the stage of the Lafayette Theatre, in the following manner: First prize, $10; second prize, $5; third prize, $250; fourth prize, $250. If you have an act, or think you have an act, here is a chance to try it out. (The prizes will be awarded subject to the amount of applause each contestant receives at the hands of the audience. All acts must leave their names at the box office, together with the music, if any, they want played, and must also state the kind of act they intend to present, not later than the Saturday night before the Sunday on which they expect to appear. This will be a splendid chance for many people in Harlem to show their talent before a high class audience.

BEHIND THE SCREEN Our government hesitated not to send our colored soldiers to the front to die for democracy, but on returning home with glory they are "jim crowed," and when passing through the South if they stop for lunch, even in Richmond in the little "hash joints" operated at the two passenger stations they are placed behind screens where they will not come in contact with members of the white race. The only remedy for this unjust discrimination is a national law against it which will eventually be passed, but not until pressure is brought to bear by the Negro press of the country, supported by the few white papers who believe in equity and justice.-Rickmond St. Luke Herald. 10 YORK PA York, PA—John Williams has summoned to serve on the Griggs in the December Court.

There will be a Christmas tree with gifts for all men in uniform and plans are being made for an informal happy party for those particularly who are too far away to celebrate Christmas in their own homes. All men in uniform are invited however and will be heartily welcomed. Several other organizations are operating in this effort to give the kids a jolly good time. All of the colored churubes in Harlem and many in other parts of the city are contributing liberally, as are The Chicago Defender, The New York News Charity Bureau, the Y. W. C. A., The Hayward Unit Motor Corps, the National League of Women's service and the Realty Public Bureau. SEEK HOUSING FOR HOLIDAY VISITORS The room registry of the Y W. C. A. is seeking to extend the accommodation for the relatives and friends of soldiers and sailors and the usual visitors who come to New York during the Christmas holidays. It is also expected that the incoming troops from overseas will create a large demand for transient accommodation during the coming weeks. Not only is there need of a larger number of homes, but more reasonable rates are demanded. The prevailing high prices cannot be met by many visitors, thus cutting their stay short or forcing them to seek moderate rates elsewhere, and too often obstructing them in valuable places. The Y W. C. A. therefore is asking that it be made a patron's duty to give our boys a hearty welcome by housing their mothers, wives, sisters and friends for fifty cents per person per night, especially in cases of those desiring to remain in the city several days. Housewives with such accommodations are asked to call, telephone (Morningside 743), between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. or write the Y. W. C. A. 121 West 132nd street, giving rates, number accommodated, etc. This is a special effort to meet the demand for transients during the holiday season, but housekeepers with permanent rooms are also listed in order to place the lodgers who apply daily. PLACES FOR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Soldiers and sailors are to be given special consideration by the U. S. Employment Service. It is announced Jesse O. Thomas, examiner in charge of the U. S. Employment Office, 2275 Seventh Avenue plans to devote all of his time for the present to securing jobs and positions and placing the de-mobilized sailors and soldiers. The work of assisting this large group of patriotic citizens in becoming absorbed into the social and economic life of their respective communities is one of increasing importance and magnitude. It is hoped that the returning fighters may have final positions.

The woman's auxiliary done by its members for the welfare of the 15th Recruitment and its deserter Private Martin of the 3691) I fantasy be "the colors" presented to the woman auxiliary Theodore Roosevelt DEATH OF MRS JULIA FORTHUNE New York as a whole. A colleague Harlem in particular has some of its best citizens in the deaf Mrs. Juha Forthume, Dec 5 1915. A humble wife, mother and good new wife, whose big heart opened in sympathy and sorrow to all ages and all who needed a friend. She was wise to right living, sound thinking and human experience, not from mere book learning In the earl days when the children were small she took time to get with them on their outdoor walks and to encourage their sharing in good opportunity. The young幼儿园 teachers, who could always count on her help at mothers' meetings and children's parties, learned more from her common sense and were more than was ever written in the best books. When she moved to Hull she able to assist in her husband she was restless and dissatisfied she had started mothers' nursery and children's clubs with her neighbours but she wanted as many share in what she had acquire as advantages. He was such that she even knew his name and the mothers' child was known as the Hattlem branch of the Parent's Club. As her children grew she had more time to share their activities and influence united. Children were ever welcome in her home and she always knew who needed bathing or wise counsel, or special help or just "mothering." Summer joined longer outings, Christmas parties all were remembered and invitations sent to those who should share in them. Gradually Giselle led to the custom of Man. Fortunately, being one of the country outing party that included the blind active and happy, but the blind women would not go without her She opened her heart to the orphans, visiting many who had been discharged from the Colored Orphan Asylum and even "adopting" one girl who had no one to visit her at the institution. Then the "old folks" claimed her attention and four times she engineered a Thanksgiving dinner for them at P. S. 89. Her whole club program came to be centered about this annual event as its climax, and as early as last March she was plotting out the garden beds and assigning one for vegetables for the dinner. It may be truly said that her happiest hours were spent in her garden working for her "old people." She had many, many friends and loyal helpers, but she was their leader and it is only now when they think of carrying on some of the objects in which she was so much interested that they realize how manifold were her sympathies and how full her life. It was a short life that should have been spared for many years yet if others' eyes and thoughts had been as quick to see the limits of physical endurance and act with authority as her own might have been, but truly of no other life could it be more just said, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." She gave her life in serving others and found it full of happiness. H T E NEWS OF THE CHURCHES SALEM M. E. CHURCH. Last Sunday the pastor, the Rev F A Cullen, preached two uplifting sermons.
