NEW YORK, CATALOGUE OLD 15TH REGIMENT AT DEPARTMENT OF LABOR URGES CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THE RACES Washington, D. C.—The report of the Secretary of Labor to Congress shows that this Department of the Government is really undertaking the solution of some of the great problems seriously affecting the economic condition of the Negro wage earner. A notable feature in connection with this report is the announcement that an investigation of the migration movement has been made, under the supervision of Dr. James H. Dillard, President of the James and Slater Funds. SAMPLE OF A MACHINE GUNNER'S HUMOR IN THE ARGONNE FOREST "Among the circumstances disclosed by Dr. Donald J. investigation," says the Secretary, "was the fact that the expulsion of Negro workers had been the largest lynchings and other forms of restitution had been the greatest." Many reports from the field indicate that men who are retarding the efforts of the Department of Labor to allay the problems and to distribute property among the South through the South functions of the department, and are required to recommend assistance for dealing with such cases of arrest and that it is making harder the work of the Department of Labor to increase the efficiency of Negro wage earners by improving their conditions. It is a duty to point out the effects of such evils and to state that only its total abolition will serve to replace unrest with contentment. In the fulfillment of this duty the department argues universal assistance in promoting co-operation between the races for the harmonizing of their relations and for the vigorous and unfailing enforcement of the law." In referring to the establishment of the Division of Negro Economies, the MRS. MYLDRED BROWN STRACUSE N.Y.—Another colored eastern worker is to be credited to this city in the person of Mrs. Myldred Brown of 309 Almond street. She possesses a pleasing personality and may be seen at her post assadouously serving the soldiers and sailors passing through this city. SAMPLE OF A MAG HUMOR IN THE Secretly, Ben E. Seldon of the Y M. A. with the American Expedition horse in France, writes that our lance was right at the front when the law gun was fired. Some of our troops are still on the line doing occu- pations. Our troops have done their bit at three fronts. Venges, Verdum and Argonne, where we lost so many and Metz. The matter of the 9th Division, which are not on the line, are quartered in little town near Metz. I think I shall rem- ain with the stevedore boys until they leave. Incidentally Mr. Seldon says: "You can't beat the Negro for humor. Here is a sample from one of the treasury of the 31st Machine Gun Brigade, is in Capt. Dickey. Secretary of Labor says: Secretary of Labor says: "In the previous fiscal year the attention of the Department of Labor had been repeatedly called to specific problems involving race relations. During 1916 and 1918 perplexing questions had arisen and investigations had been made with regard to Negroes. With the greater industrial efficiency demanded by the war it became apparent that a more harmonious adjustment of the labor relations between white and Negroes was imperative, especially in view of the fact that the labor force was over one million." It was long been the policy of the department to avail itself of the best expert knowledge obtainable in the administration of such problems as have arisen. The appointment of a Negro as adviser to the Secretary on matters relating to the Negro race was urged by many white persons as well as Negroes and was favorably recommended by the advisory council of the Department of Labor. After consultation with many persons of both races, the Secretary appointed Dr George F. Haynes as his adviser with the title director of Negro economics.

We have been a shook regiment since our entrance into action a months past and for good work in offensives, where we held the honors, we have received the highest honors at any American regiment in France.

HAYWA A letter from Colonel William Hayward to the Editor of The Age brings the first hand information that the old Fifteenth New York Infantry (now the 369th Infantry) was the first of the Allied soldiers to reach the Rhine, after a greater number of days in action than any other American regiment. Further details show that all the colored line officers were transferred to other units, although Lieut. Europe was sent back to handmaster Lieut. Bullock was killed, but many of the old non-commissioned officers, including Conick, Payne, Chisolm and others who could easily have qualified for commissions, remained with the regiment. A large percentage of the wounded have returned to the regiment. The letter follows: Dear Fred, I had your good letter and was very glad to hear from you and to know that Harlem's affections for the 15th do not wane. I sent you a copy of the citation which will decorate our regimental colors with the Crois de Guerre and also the persons mentioned by name in it. under his direction and has been the source of great solace and comfort only to us, but elsewhere.

I agree they will be able to play all the way of any of the Allied soldiers to reach the Rhine and that as we believe, we were not in any day than any other American regiment (1911 days)? I would give you some photograph but we were not allowed to take it home. I have none available. I will give a good deal to have some sketches of some of the things we saw at home. The best we can do at home is the Rhine as on the back of the Harlem and have now un-taken to reading of German just as homework they did French. We would be pleased to published linguists by the time we get home. We have all the papers which have been read with great interest by all and hope soon to be getting first hand in formatting events in New York."

He mentioned the fact that Alabama and Virginia had already enacted compulsory education laws and he predicted that other states would follow The time has come" said Dr Moton, when the United States government should have adequate financial aid in investing the children of the United States. It is the business of the national government to indulently see to it by him and advise that every child is trained for citizenship. Only thus can America come to its highest and best, only thus can democracy be really genuine and lasting. When Dr. Moton had concluded his remarks the correspondents crowded around him and shook his hand. Some did not hesitate to say that the talk had given them a better understanding of the Negro problem in Art. and basic senses. All of them agreed in the Importinent Effort Made to Introduce Race Prejudice Among French People and Army. (BY RALPH W. TYLER) With the American Army in France—Nancy, Dec. I—Monteur Blaise Diagne is the Deputy Commissioner General of France in charge of the effective, or fighting colored troops of France's colonies, and is a close friend of Premier Clemenceau Monteur Diagne is a black man, but color V does not count in France—France has no color problem, though she has millions of colored subjects... The deputy commissioner has an intimate knowledge of the conditions surrounding the colored man in America. He sympathizes with him, as do all of France's colored subjects. When in Nancy last week he stated he had requested Premier Clementeau to make some helpful reference to the colored troops fresh America at the peace table; that colored Frenchmen had requested that an audience at the peace gathering be given to a delegation of France's colored subjects that they might give roses to sentiments that might be helpful to their kinsmen in America who had come over here to fight for world democracy. The discriminations to which colored officers and soldiers have been subjected to at the hands of many American white officers and soldiers have been noticeable to colored Frenchmen, and they have felt it keenly. It has been observed even by white French officers, to all of whom color prejudice is unknown, and they have been at a loss to understand why such brave enduring fighting men of the race as the United States sent to the war win world democracy should be subjected to embarrassing and retarding discriminations and segregation. Monsieur Diagne also told us certain American white officers, writing to French high officials urging that the treatment accorded colored men from America in France, by French officers, be the same treatment accorded our race in America by certain white people, that colored Americans were an inferior race and should not be accorded the equals of treatment. French officers and civilians had been in the habit of according colored soldiers.

A Discourse from the Irish in the Diaspora is a valuable resource. reasonable request from certain American white army officers. Commissaire General Diagne is keeping the torn bits of that request as a souvenir. There have been some American white officers over here—not a few, but many—who have, ever since being here, prosecuted a nonaglipanda against the colored soldiers, who have done their utmost, but without avail, to taint France with America's prejudice against America's loyal fighting colored soldiers. There have been a few American white officers—not many—over here who have treated the colored soldiers as American soldiers, notable among them being Brigadier General M H Barnum and Brigadier General Sherburne In spite of the unjustifiable discrimination and handicaps, at the hands of certain American white officers over here, colored soldiers, officers and men, have given the best in them for their country, have patiently endured discriminations, because of their color, as they have herocally endured the expected hardships of soldier life, and as herocally fought against the Hun. Had it only been the Boche, colored soldiers had had to fight against, they would return to the States without a single complaint, but in not a few instances, I regret to admit, they have had to fight the Hue, while at the same time they were enduring an unhilading attack from the whom they had suppressed were her fight for the same thing they can see to fight for world demons. However with all the colored soldier is proud that he had an opportunity to again prove that which the country had resisted had an occasion to doubt his ability to country. Thousands of our colored soldiers are now busily preparing for the overseas return. They are impatiently counting the days even the hours and moments that must intervene before they can again see the face of the Statue of Liberty in New York's harbor, before they can again greet relatives and friends. Many of them who came here or American troopships in the fullness of manhood and patriotism, will still forever lie in a soldier's grave, rudely marked, up around Verdun, Chateau Thierry, Soisson, Champagne in the Argonne woods and in the Moussou valley. France has been, magranitous to wards the American colored soldiers her men and women have voiced praise of their fighting qualities, of their soldier bearing and of their faultless behavior. France would welcome them as permanent residents of France, but they—those who have survived this awfully decimating, frightful war—are going to return to the States, firm in the resolve to help secure, through peaceful means, for themselves and their people that which their arms, their blood and their lives helped to achieve on the battle fields for the alien countries over here—democracy The 92nd Division has orders to prepare to move for a port of embarkation I hope to move with it.

PARIS, France, Nov 17 - The seventeenth of November has been indelibly written upon the pages of French history. The signing of the armistice released the people of Alsace-Lorraine from German rule, under which they lived for nearly fifty years. Today France, and particularly Paris, celebrated this freedom in almost every conceivable manner. The people as usual attended early mass, but immediately thereafter the streets were crowded with thousands seeking places from which they might view the parade which started at 2.30. The start was announced with the booming of cannon and the flight up and down the line of march of great numbers of aircraft. As I stood on the velvet carpeted platform upon which we seated the President of France Marshal boffre and other prominent Frenchmen and gazed with amazement at the sea of humanity. I was greatly impressed with the en thusiasm which everywhere tally offer vested. I everybody was happy, not only because A. Laurier was now free but also be use in securing her free dom she had helped greatly in the protection of the rights of man everywhere. No one will witnessed this celebration could, if he would erase it from the blackboard of his memory. In the javelin there were flower girls from Abassie Lorraine, Blue Devils, Polos all the may, from the town of Abassie Lorraine, British Australian, Canadian Italian and American soldiers, and bad boys all nations playing patriotic art. In all there were marys, Killers, Knights, Columbus men an women and about 400. M (A woman). Notwithstanding the imperial bond I saw many wounded white men. American soldiers came and collapsed up, martyred and martyred walking with the army and canes. One altered soldier who walked with the art of trifles and whose unsignia told me he was a member on an artillery organization impressed me very much with his clean cut manly qualities. Thousands of automobiles were overloaded with people and the tops of numbers of massive stone monuments in the Tuileries and the Place de la Concorde were crowned with American soldiers on leave who had climbed there in order to see. Even the artistic and extraordinarily tall lamp posts supported onlookers one of which took pictures from his uncomfortable but useful seat. As the parade passed a greater number of airplanes than before flew over the marchers but now they performed all kinds of stunts, tail spinning, flying over, dancing over tree tops, etc.—all for the people to see the day more impressive and incidentally re-minding the people that it was the ability of armeni that greatly assisted in bringing the war to an end it was like watching a three-ring circus—so much to see at once. I know what I saw and how I felt but a description of my feelings is impossible. After the parade had passed President Ponçaine, Marshal Joffre and many other leading men including Gérald, refined looking well dressed, silhouetted colored gentleman, walked from the grandstand and passed through a sort of court of honor made up of soldiers who saluted them as they walked. The colored gentleman, I am told, is a member of the House of Deputies which sits at Paris After the parade I started for my hotel for a while I got along fairly well but when I reached the Kine Kine I found myself in the middle of the street and in the midst of the greatest crowd of people I have ever seen on our square. I had to dare get on the sidewalk to see what was in danger of having it crushed out against the mass of buildings. I shall not attempt to lessec the size of the crowd or how difficult it was to get through. Suffice it to say that for a half hour I strugged to push and shoved and when I got through I found that I had to leave the square. At seven o'clock in the morning and immediately thereafter I walked along the Bombay Street to the Apartment. There again I struggled with the crowds. Up and down the street passed all kinds of small boats, the bensal and Armee canoe and Ross Stouts. One sunset I saw was made up of soldiers in the Alleys. At the head of it was a crowd which had been taken from the number of thousands of captive former prisoners, cannon and machine gun planes, cannon and machine gun planes, which was filled by a great number of men and so it was seated an American soldier waving the Stars and Stripes and selling for all he was worth. A tentile was being thrown by hundred of people and soldiers of all nations taken I the girls a privilege which I was told was reserved for the soldiers only. Once a girl was caught no matter how much she screamed and struggled she was released only when she had been kissed. On many street corners were musicians singing and playing beautiful songs dedicated to the Alleys and the President of the United States. At one corner I saw two young women carrying an American soldier who continually greeted the people with Vive la France. When I reached the middle of a square in my home I suddenly found myself enveloped with several young women and some soldiers who for a few seconds ran around me and sang while I stood in the center. In a short while I reached my hotel I was very tired and intended to retire immediately. As I opened the door I was greeted by a happy host of French English and Belgian people who insisted that I join in the celebration. This I did, retiring at midnight "all in". Such was the celebration of the deliverance of Alsace Lorraine. ESTABLISHED 25 YEARS MR8. IDA WHITE-DUNCAN HAIR WORKER 19 Precost St. Jersey City, N. J.

We went through the big battle in Champagne, twelve days of it, starting Sept. 26th, and it was a real party! The enclosed citation, however, made it worth while A. E. F. has promised to approve this. We came down to the Vosges, and the "Stars and Stripes" in its issue of Nov. 15 correctly placed us when it said: "The farthest north at 11 o'clock on the front of the two armies was held at the eastern American left up Sedan way by the troops of the 77th Division. The farthest east—the nearest to the Rhine—was held by those Negro soldiers who used to make up the old New York 15th and have long been brigaded with the French. They were in Alsace and their line ran through Thann and across the railway that leads to Colmar." Queer, there were New York troops on both ends. We came over the line with our new French Army, still in the same mission, Holst, under General Le Loi on Sunday Nov 17, as reported in 11.14 de la Fête of the St. when describes us as Les Amateurs nous animaux et leurs caques en l'air. It appears our French Army came in days ahead of anybody we see, and our because our old luck held out, our Loi was the vanguard and we were the advance guard of that division. As a result we arrived at on the left and the Rhine Monday Nov 18 in the trefoil, after marching 29 kilometres that morning. We were so far ahead of everybody else that they did not let us go to the river bank until the morning of the 29th when, at 9:30, found myself, ahead of our patrol, the first Allied soldier to this goal of the million men through four and a half bloody years. The Black Warb Am Rhine was the first. It was quite thrilling to realize that when we left our trenches in the Vosges we brought the French frontier with us. Now with more worlds to conquer and no moreriers to cross, we are crazy to go home, as every one else is. I presume, except the professional soldiers who like their present jobs at swollen rank and pay. I see Secretary Baker says, 'First come, first home,' and that should put us in the bald-head row The regiment has rounded-to in fine shape since the great battle, and we have already pretty well assimilated the thousand men and forty officers who came to us as replacements.

CHRISTMAS AT THE PHILLIS WHEATLEY (Special) The New York Ace) CRAVENSON D. O., of the huestest in the well to share girl. On Christmas morning Miss Jane E. Hunter will be the happiest women in the country. When the girl in the seventy rooms of the beautiful house will gather at the breakfast table and afterward will show the gifts no mother in the land will experience the contentment that will be lost, she will forget all the de- couragement and all the hard work. The fullfillment of her vision will be easy. An apartment house containing twelve apartments on the corner of Last 40th street and Central avenue has been con- verted into a model home for young women and was opened Nov. 26. It has taken Miss Hunter just three years to collect the money for this remarkable home. All are determined to in- terest her good purpose and her satisfaction have been rewarded and she land is ground to give this remarkable woman. The Philly Wheatley will furnish board and room to inmates with media of profit. Outside people may see meals of the girls leave any of the good things. Already the house is crowded. Every city in the country needs houses like this, similar to the Elephant Clubs in Chicago, and the Charlotte Cushman Home for Attractees in Philadelphia where a woman may be protected where for a small fee she may wash her own clothes, iron or press things, and not feel personally obligated. The W. A. in a very limited way has been able to care for a few at a time. There are not one dozen places in the countries where respectable lone colored working women can obtain a room unless in a private family where often they are not welcome. Every city needs a rooming house or club house for its colored women. The larger the effort, the more self-supporting it proves to be. Cleveland has taught the country a lesson. After this, such homes should be called "Jane Hunter Homes," for this young woman has proven that such hostels are not only needed but that they are the best homes. (Special to The New York Acad) SALSbury N.C.-Landis, N.C. has the distinction of being the home of the first Rural Credit Union officered and controlled by Negroes in the country. It is organized under the banking laws of North Carolina governing such bodies and has all the functions of a bank, except that it can only lend money to its members who are stockholders, the money thus obtained being used for tarming purposes only. The union was incorporated in April of this year and has already proved its value to the community in which it is located. School children and other non members are encouraged to deposit funds in small amounts on which they are paid four per cent interest. Many farmers for the first time in their lives will start the New Year with plenty of food for man and beast and a snug sum beside.

RED BANK, N J-Sergeant Needham Roberts of the old 15th New York Infantry was the guest of honor and principal speaker at an educational mass meeting that taxed the capacity of the Lyric Theatre Dec 19, under the auspices of the colored auxiliary of the Red Bank Chapter of the American Red Cross, Miss E A Knowles, president. The idea of the meeting was to explain to the towns folk just what the Red Cross organization stands for has done, and is doing, and was given in connection with the membership drive in the Christmas roll call. Dr I W Parker was chairman of the meeting Hon A A Patterson, mayor of Red Bank, delivered the ad dress of welcome on behalf of the citizens of the town Chapel W. A. Sargent, who is stationed at Camp Dix, and is also pastor of one of the leading churches here explained in detail the work that the Red Cross is doing throughout the world. The chairman evoked much applause in his introduction of Sergeant Roberts and when the plucky 'real live hero' in khaki stepped forward on the platform the audience arose en masse and cheered him to the echo. During the recital of his experiences as a soldier, Sergeant Roberts sketched the outline of the days from the time he collapsed in the old Fifteenth's service in France with his regiment down to the day he was invalided home. He thrilled his auditors with the account of how he and Henry Johnson put a German patrol to rest and of Marshal Loch's citation to him to his bravery. He was interrupted many times in his recital by generous applause upon every mention of the deeds of valor performed by Ulysses S. Colbert's soldiers. The meeting was in every way most successful and Miss Knowles and her energetic sisters received a great deal of deserved praise.

For some time there will be wounded American soldiers in France, whose immediate removal to this side will not be expedient nor feasible. Nurses will be required to care for these soldiers among whom there will undoubtedly be some colored soldiers. As the necessity may arise from time to time for the replacement of the nurses worn out in the service, colored nurses could and should be substituted, at least to the extent of removing the ban so far successfully maintained against their service abroad. It is the moral duty of the War Department to remove this ban. PASSED BY CENSOR An interesting revelation of the hopes and aspirations of the soldiers of the Negro race, who have been making the world safe for democracy, is furnished in a letter written by a non-commissioned officer of the 92nd Division, which was evidently "passed by the censor." The letter was written Nov 24 and the writer states that the day of the signing of the armistice found the division in the Marbach sector, aiming for Metz, having already taken several villages and prisoners. He also quotes a memorandum authorized by General Ballon, the commander of the division, as to the service rendered by it, as follows Five months ago the 92nd Division landed in France. After seven weeks of training it took over a sector in the front line and since that time some portion of the Division has been continuously under fire. It participated in the last battle of the war with creditable success, continually pressing the attack against highly organized defensive works It advanced successfully on the first day of th battle, attaining its objectives and capturing prisoners This in the face of determined opposition by an alert enemy, and against rifle and machine gun and artillery fire The issue of the second day's battle was rendered incessive by the order to cease firing at eleven a.m. when the armament became effective The division commander, in taking leave of what he considers his division feels that he has accustomed his mission. His work is done and will endure. The results have not always been brilliant and many times were distressing yet a well organized well disciplined and well trained colored division has been created and conquered by him to include the last shred of the great world war. May the future conduct of every officer and man be such as to fleet credit upon the division and upon the colored race. Then follows this curious expression of genuine sentiment by Sergeant Alfred D. Vaughan, which either enlisted the approbation of the military censor or else escaped his vigilant eye. This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that the colored soldier has contributed his share in heating the Hun to his knees back across the Rhine, and making the world safe for democracy, etc. Will he be given a fair share of democracy, ungrudgingly, when it is shared by the nations? Many of them have made the supreme sacrifice gladly and without hesitancy, and as his battle-scarred face is turned toward home and his beloved America, he wonders if he is to be given larger and broader opportunities in life, unhampered by prejudice, when democracy is meted out to the na Some of the most important men in Segregat Vanguard are undoubtedly shared by his many comrades in France, as well as by the fellow members of his race in America. When those hopes and aspirations are backed by the united resolution of the race to attain them, the dawn of the real democracy will have arrived. THE SAME OLD GAME According to a story published in the Jackson, Mich., Clarion-Ledger, the Negro tenant farmers of the Mississippi Delta, especially in Yazoo County, are being robbed of their yearly earnings in the same old way. After working the whole year on the share system and turning over the crop to the landlord, the worker is told that there is nothing due him for his labors, as the accounts are balanced. The facts of the various cases that have been reported to the governor of Mississippi are so flagrant that even this white Southern newspaper is moved to make this admission: In the event there is truth in the statements made by these Negroes the honest farmers of the delta should sit up and take notice. The white men who would thus rob a poor Negro who has worked hard all the year and made a good crop, should be shown up. The blessed sunlight of publicity should be turned on him, and will be if the delta planters are to retain the labor on their farms hereafter. These Negroes declared they would not return to their delta homes, and did not want their names known in this connection. They gave the names of the farmers for whom they had been working, but for the present they are charitably withheld. The fact that there is no serious thought of recourse to the courts to secure redress for the victims of this swindle shows the rotten perversion of justice that prevails throughout the South The only hope seems to be that through such papers as the Clarion-Appeal a better sentiment may be created in favor of mere honesty in relations with the Negro and an approach to a square deal. The question is whether the hardened conscience of the South can be penetrated by such mild comment as is made by the Clarion- Appeal, which "charitably withheld" names of the delinquents INCITING TO LYNCH LAW INCITING TO LYNCH LAW As a prelude to the celebration of the Christmastide, the Montgomery Advertiser, as vicious a paper as is published in the South, was endeavoring to incite the whites of that city to renewed lynching activity. Already it is reported that many colored residents are preparing to leave the city, because of the call to mob violence published in the Advertiser The article, which was intended to stir up the worst passions of the white population, is entitled "Warning Issued to White Women." It is signed "A Soldier's Widow" and recites an attempt at robbery by a black man, or at least by a man with a black face. It is not an unheard of thing for men of white skins to blacken the face when attempting robbery. Although the attempt did not succeed and the police took steps to investigate the case a hysterical appeal is made for some other form of action. This is a sample of the inflammatory appeal that the Adjuvant at in its columns. Are all the red blues southern men gone. Is all else which protects white women from even a ruder from a Negro vanished? Am I not seen not. I was asked to take the matter up with the civil commissioner and he would bring it to the attention of the chief judge. He evidently for a little while Captain with some and was interested and has possible. Two days how had elapsed and any chance of finding clews gone.

"What are we going to do about it?" HICKMAN, Ky., Dec. 18. (Sph)—Charlie Lewis, a discharged Negro soldier, was lynched by a masked mob at Tyler, Ky., 10 miles from here, at midnight last night, as the result of a fight with Deputy Sheriff Al Thomas, who was badly beaten by the Negro when the deputy attempted to arrest him on a charge of highway robbery. Lewis was hunged to a tree. Several Negroes had been held up and robbed by Lewis, officers declare. When Thomas attempted to arrest Lewis Sunday morning, however, the latter resisted, claiming the deputy had no right to arrest a man wearing the uniform of the American army. Lewis knocked the deputy down four times and fled. He was captured later. There were about 75 men in the mob. The second despatch is from Alabama and reads as follows: MOBILE, Ala., Dec 20—Four Negroes, two of them women, accused of the murder of Dr E L. Johnston here last week, were taken from the jail at Shimbuta, Miss., tonight and lynched, according to information received in Mobile. All four were hanged to the girders of a bridge spanning the Chuckashay River. Here we have in Kentucky a discharged soldier, who had evidently been honorably discharged, for the despatch states that he wore the uniform of the American army when the attempt was made to arrest him, charged with having robbed several men, and lynched because he knocked down the constable who tried to take him to jail. In Mississippi we have four Negroes, two of them women, taken out of jail and lynched on a bare accusation of murder. In neither of these cases was there the least connection with the so-called "usual crime" to be put forward as a justification or an excuse. In the case of the soldier, the only excuse to be offered is that he resisted arrest, for it is inconceivable that he would have been lynched for "robbing several Negroes." The offense of resistance to arrest by civil officers of the law on the part of men in the army and navy is so common that it is generally overlooked. In the case of the two men and two women, there was only the accusation that they were guilty of the murder of one man What are we going to do about this terrible curse of lynching? What is the country going to do about it? For the country had just as well realize that it is not only a crime against the Negro, but a disgrace and a danger to the whole nation. If this thing is allowed to go on unchecked, the time will come when no Negro's life will be safe in the South, and ultimately nowhere in the United States. One thing is certain, the states of the South are either unable or unwilling to check lynching; nobody is ever adequately punished for taking part in a lynching, the only legal remedy that remains is action by the Federal Government. We are tired of listening to hair-splitting local arguments about punishment for lynching being a matter whose within the jurisdiction of the states, and about interference by the Federal Government being unconstitutional. We have learned during the war that the Constitution is a very elastic instrument, that the Federal Government can do anything that it wants to do which it considers for the good of the country; that it can say how much sugar we may put into our coffee, how much coal we may put on our fires, when we must go to bed and when we must get up, then it is absurd to think if the Federal Government really wanted to put a stop to the shooting and hanging and burning alive of citizens of the United States by mobs that it could not find sufficient authority in the Constitution to enable to do it. The writer makes no pretensions of being an interpreter of the Constitution, but if common sense is of any value in interpreting that document there appears to be ample authority for the federal government to step in whenever the states show that they will not prevent or punish lynching. The first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the constitution reads as follows: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privilege or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any State deprive any person of life. tected girl, and then maybe a spark of Southern chivalry may flare up in Montgomery. (It may happen to a woman who has a husband to take care matter in his own hands.) I have not publications represented Among them are: William F. R. De Bros. The Crisis. If mob murder and lynching should follow upon this publication the responsibility is not so much of the writer if she is correctly represented as uttering from a legitimate attack of her sera as upon the editor of the advertiser who will be properly protected this instrument to murder. The law should protect the editors and publ- OFFICIALLY REPRESENTED The question as to whether the Negroes of America are to be officially represented at the coming Peace Conference at Paris is illuminated to some extent by the receipt of a copy of the Orsaba Abasiro published at sea Dec 8, 1918. It contains a list of "official press representatives to Peace Conference at Paris" comprising some fifty names of prominent newspaper men, with the titles of the publications represented Among them are: Wilham F. B. De Bros. the Crisis. Lester A. Walton L. New York Age. In addition to this, several additional names are given below which include besides a certain in the British Army and some charles R. guests.

And as the back pay and increased wages come to them, we trust that they will remember to rave at least a part of their income by placing same in a Negro bank. Savannah Journal The fifth clause of the Fourteenth Amendment reads as follows: The Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article. When States allow mobs to take prisoners out of jail or out of the hauds of the officers of the law, when those prisoners are Negroes, and put them to death, such States are violating that part of the Fourteenth Amendment which says that no State shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. Now, of course, some Constitutional lawyer will arise and say that every state has laws which are the same for the protection of white prisoners and black prisoners, and that no state has a law which denies such protection to black prisoners. That we grant, but we claim that when a state habitually allows mobs to take Negro prisoners out of the hands of the law and put them to death, without taking adequate steps to hold these prisoners in custody or to punish the lynchers, such a state is denying equal protection of the laws to its Negro citizens just as much as if it had on its statute books a law directing sheriffs to protect white prisoners and relieving them of the obligation to protect Negro prisoners. The last fourteen words of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the whole of the fifth clause of the same amendment confer all of the constitutional authority that the Federal Government needs, if it really wants to take steps to check and stamp out lynching. The great trouble is that not the Federal Government nor enough people in the country are sufficiently concerned about lynching to stop it. Then we ask again, what is going to be done? Is the Government, are the people of the country by their unconcern going to force the Negroes themselves to cease pleading for justice and take action? Are they going to force the Negroes to meet lawlessness with lawlessness? Are they going to force them to wreak barbarous vengeance on each community where a lynching occurs? Such things have happened in the history of the world. WHY DIDN'T YOU DO YOUR DUTY, MR. THOMAS? We learn from the Memphis Press that Mr. D. D. Thomas, head of a firm of contractors in the Tennessee city, is very much fussed up about having to ride in a Pullman car with colored soldiers. He was so hot that he wrote a letter to his senator telling him all about it. These are the horrible facts which Mr. Thomas related in his letter. Leaving Washington on the Southern Railway's Memphis Special at 3 10 a.m. Monday, December 9, he boarded the Washington to Memphis sleeper and found 14 colored soldiers in it, on their way to Camp Shelby. Later he boarded a New York to Memphis sleeper, and in the morning found that the sleeper was occupied largely by colored soldiers and that there were three unescorted ladies on board in lower berths under uppers occupied by the soldiers. We can imagine the high temperature of the indignation which burned in the gallant and chivalrous breast of Mr Thomas at such a sight. But why so much indignation? It does not appear that any of the ladies were harmed; at least, none of them seems to have complained that they were. What we cannot understand is why Mr. Thomas restrained himself to the mere writing of a letter to his senator. Here was a plain and flagrant violation of the Southern code of "social equality," colored soldiers and white women riding in the same Pullman car; no, worse than that, white women in lower berths under colored soldiers in upper berths. How could Mr Thomas stand it and patiently want to write a letter? Is it possible that there is a deterioration in the Memphian brand of chivalry? Why did he not in accord with the rules governing "Southern knighthood" under such conditions, charge down on the fourteen? According to Southern traditions, fourteen scared Negroes would have immediately gone through the car windows, regardless of the fact that the windows were double glass and the train moving at full speed. Or was Mr Thomas restraint due to the fact that he did not have his "crowd" with him? If that is true then the boasted bravery and courage of the self-ancestored avenging knights is all a shame they need to have a hundred to one before they will undertake a job very unlike the knights of old, who single handed would charge an army or a den of dragons or anything else they could get at. Mr. Thomas, you didn't do your duty. You didn't even offer a word of protest on the spot, but enaked off home to write a letter. Are you not really ashamed of your actions. THE NEW KU KLUX KLAN A new Kt. Klux Klan movement is in the South. It is called the Columbian Union. It is a secret organization and was originally chartered in Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville is the city in which the Law and Order League was formed among the white citizens to fight lynching. One of the organizers recently went to hattanogue set up a meeting stating the purpose of the order and that racial violence was put down the demolizator. The session will be held at the South when the troops are moved in and returned to their home. Here we have a plain statement that the main purpose of the new secret order is to keep the returned Negro soldiers in their place. members of the organization said. In these gentlemen under the royal office and the power and authority of the law and its own defenders, the executors can't maintain order and protect the lives and property of persons as well as whites, without the aid of a secret society, they must go their offices and permit men who can do it to fill them. Further along the Daily Times said in its editorial "An organization having for its purpose, open and above board, to guarantee to the Negro's rights and assure him fair treatment would as complish more for order and the peaceable disposition of the Negro than all the oppressive and threatening societies that fully and premise could conceive of. The last paragraph quoted above goes to the heart of the whole matter. It is the position that the South will have to arrive at sooner or later, and the soon one better. 1. GENERAL INVESTIGATION IN ORGANIZED LABOR To the Editor of The New York Age I have been very much interested in the editorials of The Ace, especially in view and reviews of Mr James W. Johnson on the subject of organi- gated labor as it affects the colored waiter. For nearly twenty years I rank- among the colored headwaiters and du- ding that time I wrote the Waiter Manual, the first book of its kind writ- ten by a colored headwaiter; I also helped to organize the Head and Second Waiters' National Benefit Association and was elected its first president, and for thirty-five years I have carefully studied the above situation from even angle. I wish to indorse everything that Mr Johnson has said and, in addition, I wish to say that the most important factors in this country are capital and labor, and every citizen, regardless of race, creed or politics, will have to choose whom he will serve capital and labor. As it is in Europe, so it will be in this country in the near future one of the leading political parties will be dominated by labor. In the past the colored laborer has been a negative subject in the labor world, not perhaps from choice, from compulsion, therefore he has be a "scab" laborer and along these he has been schooled. As a "scab" laborer he has always been consider cheap and will always be so consider and will receive the treatment and dignities deserved as a "scab" labor until he joins the forces of organic labor and thus bridges the chasm who has always separated the white labor from the colored laborer It may be true that the attitude the white laborer of the past, used and coached by the unquenchable burning hatred of the white South against the Negro, placed unsurmountable barriers between the white organized laborer and the "scab" colored laborer and it may be true that every time colored laborer went to a contractor a hotel proprietor in some section apply for a job he was told that our union men were employed, and it may also be true that every time a colored laborer applied to a local labor union he was informed that only white men were admitted as members, which course may have completely barred the colored laborer from the union and from the helds of industry. But whatever may have been the attitude of organized labor towards the colored laborer in the past, we do know that since the beginning of the world's war many old things have been supplanted by the new and for more than a year past the doors of organized labor have been open and colored members solicited therefore if in the past the colored laborer has been a "scab" and colored laborer from compulsion, he is not now, and if he is now a "scab" and cheap laborer he is a "scab" from choice. Agam, if the colored laborers have endured hardships and sufferings in the past on account of being cheap "scaled laborers" from compulsion, then their hardships and sufferings will be increased twofold in the future if after the barriers have been removed and the doors of the union opened to them, they should continue to be "scabs" and try to oppose and compete against organized labor. While it may yet be impossible for colored men to gain membership in the majority of the white local unions, yet the national body of organized labor has opened wide the doors and it is possible for any group to seven colored men of any trade or craft to organize a local, to set up and receive a charter from their respective branches, which are allied with the American Federation, T Labor, and thus will come into possession of the passport, which will admit them to all similar locals The Negro men who expect to vote in 1920 must see to it that no poll tax is paid before the last time. Don't be hardwired to the shiftless and unconventional out of the race, who tell you that it is no use. That is what has kept us back these many years. We will never use unless we make it up in our minds to do our duty as men. The door is open to us and we must go in Shreveport (La.) Monitor The North Star Family, an Auxiliary to the Mount Zion A.

Prop. 213 West 53rd St. New York A SONGSTRESS IN SAVANNAH The "fliu" has kept me in Savannah for nearly two months, but I have enjoyed every moment in this beautiful little city with its fine, elegant people, its beautiful big trees and its splendid automobile roads. Savannah is both quaint and new. It reminds me of Paris in many ways. The colored women and girls who awaken you with "Oysters, Shrimps, Vegetables," have the same high soprano whine of the women vendors of France. Bull street, with its boulevard system of small and large parks, is so like Paris that I was not surprised to find that one of its fountains is an exact reproduction of a famous one in Paris. There are many boulevard streets. The great live oaks, almost black green, are everywhere. Savannah is very interesting to tourists, who are now beginning to come South for the winter. The very old Colonial Cemetery in the center of the city is one of the delights of visitors. The vaults look like big beds, with head boards and foot boards, only the bed tops are sloped. The inscriptions on the tombstones tell of the virtues and diseases of the deceased and I understand that some of these inscriptions have become famous. This cemetery is a favorite short-cut and play ground for children and their nurses. Many of the alleys are called "Lanes" here, as for instance Bolton street Lane. These have houses and colored people seem to be in absolute possession of most of them. In contrast to this the colored people up in the section where I live, have beautiful up-to-date homes. There are several colored contractors in this neighborhood and this beautiful art brick house is a sample of the skill of W. J. Ayers, its builder and owner. The whole block is very distractor. There is a little park opposite and the colored branch of the Carnegie Library is next door, with a well kept lawn on either side as well as in front. White people are mixed in with the colored, but there seems to be no friction. The other day some white kiddies came here hunting their colored playmates. The old white citizens of Savannah were, very aristocratic and have very kind to the colored citizens, so the color question has not interfered with the happiness or comfort of either race. It is always noticeable that when the white citizens have been very aristocratic, dignified and kindhearted, that the best class of colored people are equally so in their own way. Savannah has an exceptionally congenial social atmosphere. There are many fine voices and much good musical material. The splendid new City Auditorium is used frequently and every event is well patronized. There is one flourishing colored theatre and a smaller movie house. In business the colored people are surprisingly prosperous. There are three colored banks, busy all the time. The Wage Earners' Bank owns one of the best looking buildings on West Broad street. There are two colored drug stores and two colored newspapers, which own their lintotype machines and printing outfits. There are several cleaning and dyeing establishments, one recognized transfer company and beauty parlors galore representing every kind of hair and face treatment. Doctors and dentists seem to have all they can do. They ride around in their own cars and West Broad street the cubs are lined with the cars of the owners. There are several undertaking establishments, three of which are already well do." There are many stall owners in the City Market, and a colored bakery supplies many families through its wagon service. Colored women and girls are employed by the retail industry to attend parties and dresses and I have read ads on the daily papers asking for colored girls to work in factories. Work seems pleasant for women. People are buying new property and farms and real estate dealers and investment companies are doing a good business The Hope Great Investment Company which secured Hope Great the resort near the great beach difficulty in securing bushes for the hotel If the war had not interrupted this resort, with its casino and attractions would have been built and famous all over the country The Union Development company intends to erect a multi-purpose Colored Hotel next to the Wager Lovers' Bank almost opposite the Union Station The Colored Insurance companies of Georgia do a fine business although I notice that the white agents seem to "own" the poorest classes There are only two white letter carriers in Savannah Several of the lawless criminals have amassed much property One left quite a fortune through are ful investment There are three public schools in the city. The Junior High is an in-state building, but other new buildings are soon to follow. Two small schools are really "models" for the state. There is splendid discipline in most of the schools. Some of the school teachers have been teaching near forty years. All the latest methods are in use. The older church buildings appeal to me. The large auditorium, the first African Baptist Church reminds me of Mr. Olivet Baptist Church in New York. Several of the churches have such a classic style of interior architecture that one can hardly believe that coloured new tile built them. They did not have those "chops" "crowd 'em" in ideas in olden days. The St. Philips A M F Church makes an imposing appearance on West Broad street Savannah churches are wisely beginning to add to their properties. The services here are very dignified and quiet. Really, there is more shooting right in New York City and Northern cities than way down here in Georgia. There were two deaths recently which will mean a great loss to the community. One was Mrs. R. L. Barnes, whit lived in a magnificent home in this block. For years she was the Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Courts of Calanthe. She was one of the directors of the Wage Earners' Bank, and was closely identified with nearly every secret order in the State. I am told that she gave ten dollars a month to St. Philip's Church and that she bought the floor covering and chandelier for the new church. It is not strange that the floral offerings at her funeral cost $2,000, when one thinks of her liberality. Last week the death of J. H. McIntosh, principal of the Maple Street School, removed a grand character of the old school. In 1880 Mr McIntosh was a member of the Georgia Legislature. It means something to a community to lose such an example of cultured manhood. Like all Southern women, the colored women of Savannah believe in wearing good clothes. One sees many beautiful becoming clothes and the best along millinery lines. They drive their own cars, too. The "Flu" has closed up everything for the second time, and the ban is still on. It prevented our Folk Song Festival, but I have had a rest that I needed and I have enjoyed Savannah and its admirable people. It's a mighty good place in which to spend the time, "Flu" or no "Flu". Since Northerners have automobiles, I wish that they would come South and revel in this beautiful country, enjoy these fine roads and Southern hospitality, and they would never again feel sorry for their Southern friends. As for me, I will leave Savannah with real regret, but beautiful Florida is waiting for me. "THE FATAL WEDDING" AT THE LAFAYETTE Twenty years ago Park Row presented the same scene of seething humanity as in the present day, especially when one stands upon the new extension of the old Brooklyn bridge, viewing the park and phaps looking into the window of the historic city hall As we elbow our way towards Chatham Square, a desire enters our minds for a hasty gimpse of Cinnatown and the famous character then in the magazines, Chuck Connors. Here was a prince of the dark hallways and the mysterious underground channels of Cinnatown who ruled in a domain, without a sleep tre, with a derby hat tipped on one ear and a huge cigar tilted at an extreme angle that made glad the hearts of the cartoonists. Artists and magazine writers, gained fame by picturing this notorious character, who some years ago after surviving the wars of the Tongs passed peacefully into the Great Unknown After viewing these scenes, which are but a memory we again emerge into that thoroughfare immortalized in song and story, the Bowery. Now we stand before Miner's Bowery Theatre. Enacted in here are the shows which Broadway trying hard to emulate the old world's gentility and refinement appeared to look down upon, but fifteen years after, we see the same Broadway with cosmopolitan throngs, bringing Charles B. Blaney to interpret and depict real melodrama, the kind you will see at the lafayette Theatre commencing Monday December 30. It is one of the real good standard plays, with absolute heart sentiment which has stood the test of time.

Next Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock at Manhattan Casino, Alpha and St. Christopher will meet in what is freely admitted to be the athletic and social classic of the New York winter season. For upwards of ten years these representative teams have been meeting twice a year, with results slightly in favor of St C. Last year they splash even, St C winning the first. Alpha the second. This year both teams are mighty anxious to win the set and New Years afternoon will see them in their first effort Alpha by the loss of Gilmore, who has moved to Pittsburgh and is playing on the Loen迪 team with Rosey, can hardly be said to be a stronger aggregation than last year, but in "Sing" Goode she has a dependable center of many years' experience Perry and L. Hall is a combination of forwards that will worry many a guard and beat many a team. They are fast and hard Capt Wesley Williams and Rhone are a pair of guards who must be reckoned with They work like a clock In Stewart and Nance, Manager Mitchell has two high-class 'subs.' Coach Wetzel of St C. has so many good men that to attempt to dope out his line-up will be useless. His team has been greatly strengthened Fred Lowery, the most accurate of "shirts," is out of the army and is on the court again. The giant Robeson is in basketball togs again. The irresistible "Fat" Jenkins is as good as ever, and "George" Fail has added weight and experience to his accurate eye. St C.'s weak spot is at center. Harold Jenkins is a fast, hard and clever player, but his jumping last year was miserable and so far this year lead still seems to be in his shoes when it comes to jumping. The clever and experienced guard, Johnny Capers, is just as good as ever. The reliable Bradford wants to quit the game Coach Wetzel will in all probabilities pick his forwards from "Fat" Jenkins Robeson Fail and Lowery. Whom he will choose for Capers running mate if Bradford doesn't play is hard to guess. For his center he will choose from H. Jenkins Parker or Garea. He has a large amount of goodubs to draw on. The rivalry between these teams is sharp and clean and the game they play is fast and clean and attracts several thousands of New York's younger and older set. New Years afternoon has easily become the recognized high mark in winter. Metropolis amusement and the afternoon of January 1910 when Alpha Big Lice meets St. Christopher has indications of raising the already high standard still higher. In the first game at one of our shop Carlton Y M C. A lightweight meet St. C. Immun. MME. SISSIERETTA JONES, (Black Patti) who has a remarkable record on the concert stage. Her home is in Providence, Rhode Island. ```markdown ``` INQUIRY AS TO OUR BASE BALL A writer in the Niagara Falls Gasette wants to know "where, oh where, have the colored baseball clubs gone?" If he had made the inquiry about six months ago he could have been referred to the Lincoln Giants, Royal Giants or Cuban Stars, and the other varieties of Giants and Cubans that played at Olympic Field last summer. But to ask their whereabouts in December, is too much of a strain on the directory of sports. Some of them may be found at Palm Beach or Hot Springs, but the various training camps, had the first call probably, while many of them have been playing the game, both of ball and war, over seas Incidentally the writer in the Gazette said some good things of the colored ball players, worth reproducing. Negro ball clubs—those which had attained eminent distinction—really played more ball than the major league teams. A Negro club started round April 1, played till October 31, and then, as a rule, sailed to Cuba. In the tropical island they kept on capering till March, when they picked up and returned to start things all over at home. Many a Negro club has played from 200 to 250 ball games in a season for a good colored team can get bookings for nearly every afternoon Many of the black players have been as good as their white rivals, but credit has never been given them for their skill. One mighty black, Jose Mendez did manage to force himself into recognition. Major leaguers who batted against Mendez in Cuba acknowledged that he was at the Mathews and Alexander class for pitching ability and have also indented many other Cuban blacks as grand bitter benders and base runner. Numerous American Negroes have since been ranked as topnotchers, the big league player frankly say so and admit that only the color line kept these men from standing at the summit of the profession. As the Negro players are great at letters, always on grand condition, it is presumed that they were carefully accepted for army service. He is probable that nearly all the United States are now overseas, but how that we never hear about them, leaving the game as they do, surely must have kept it going in France, they must have been playing their own, original immitable brand of ball—but why don't we ever hear about their doings? SHAW DEFEATS BIDDLE RALEIGH N C Shaw opened the basket ball season here by defeating Biddle University, Dec. 13, by the score of 34-15. Lieut Horace G Wilder, commanding officer, A T C Shaw, officially opened the season with a timely speech. There was music throughout the game by the Shaw orchestra, under the leader, Jas Jones. The first points were registered by Biddle against Shaw and for a few seconds the score was 5-0 for Biddle. The Biddle rooters went wild, but their hopes were short lived. Capt Cook got his team to working and the score was 12-6 at the end of the first balt.

Thanksgiving was hittingly observed by the people of Warren. The sermon was preached by the Rev R W McKay, pastor of Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In the course of his sermon he made these remarkable statements "A mob is the greatest curse the world has ever known. A mob is the most dangerous thing in the world. It is infinitely more important to get rid of the mob than all the decisions at the peace table." The service was held in Walters Institute Chapel as was also the concert at night. Principal Fichelberger announced more than $500 in gifts to the institution, the largest of which was made by Columbus Avenue Church in Boston, of which Dr B W Swain is pastor Walters Institute opening, postponed on account of the quarantine, was a decided success.

BOYS IN BLUE PROUD OF HISTORIC TRIP (Special to The New York Age) P. L. France. The colored boys in blue in the steamer Oruzaba, which carried newspaper correspondents from the United States to the Peace Conference, took great pride in the fact that they were on such a historic trip. Their department was the best. B. Brooks. a Philadelphia boy and a graduate of the public schools of the Quaker City, is the race representative to hold the highest position by any hero on the Oruzaba.

A feature of the conference was a report submitted by a fourteen-year-old colored boy Beasley, who told of the pig club work in his community Beasley's report made a splendid impression on the audience, among whom was Crawford Johnson, president of the Birmingham Coca Cola Company and chairman of the War Savings Committee at the State of Ala bema Addressing the presiding officer, Mr Johnson said that such work should be encouraged among Negro boys and white boys as well He said 'Dr Moton, I wish to say here that I am willing to give $50 to be used by Tuskegee Institute to encourage pig club work among the colored boys of this state' Mr. Johnson's offer was received with enthusiasm Dr Moton later appointed a committee from the institute faculty to work out the details of disbursement of this fund. When the plan was fully developed, it was submitted to Mr Johnson for approval and he was so well pleased with the prospects for service through his gift that he increased his offer to $100 Accordingly fifteen gifts of one stock were purchased and the work of organizing the boys was placed under the direction of K. A Huggins, a graduate of the agricultural department of the institute. Fifteen communities were carefully selected and the offer of Mr Johnson presented. For each Johnson pig as they were called each community was to furnish nine other pigs to nine boys. Thus it happened that as a result of Mr Johnson's offer 214 boys each with a pig, started in the race last spring and each boy will make the report at the 1992 conference. Each boy pledged to grow at least one acre of corn velvet beans or peanuts to help feed his own pig and for the pig raising and corn raising arrangements were made for them to receive used in their school work. Tuskegee Institute through its extension department, keeps in close touch with the development of this work and each boy who receives a "Johnson pig" is required to turn back one half of the first raising to be used in the future extension of the work.

It is the sense of this body that one qualified committee be formed to have in charge all arrangements for the welcoming of colored soldiers, without regard to the particular regiments with which they were identified The report submitted by the entertainment committee in charge of the Christmas smoke fund benefit, given at the Century Theatre, Oct. 27, showed total gross receipts, $4,183.95, total disbursements $1,586.18, net receipts $2,697.77. In view of the difficulty and uncertainty of shipments abroad, these funds were transmitted to the regiment through the Paris branch of the Farmers Loan and Trust Company, with a letter of instructions to Colonel Doane that the money was to be expended for smokes, candies and such other things as would bring Christmas cheer to the men of his regiment. Glockstein Stewart was presented with the two programs sold to the highest bidder by Miss Nora Bays and auto-graphed by Miss Bays and Bert Willham. A resolution was adopted by the board to supply fresh fruit to wounded soldiers confined in the various basal hospitals.

The facts are given as follows: An intelligent Negro from before County was a Jackson yesterday to see Governor Bullis could not collect several hundred dollars he says is being withdrawn from by the delta farmer when it worked this year on the river system 50.50 He called the governor's office not binding that official out of town told his trouble. The Private Secretary Buck and others. If stated that he worked for a Letter to county planner this year for me he had to be furnished "furnished" supplie. He sent 18 bales of cotton and the seed. His store account was about $11 with 10 percent interest added. The Neg. knew that was rob business and paid the bill letter to us given credit for the other was given precedent for the treatment and the interest between the two he bows for a settlement and makes that the was in settlement and makes that the are wrote as it is balanced and that the Negra wrote as it is balanced and that the Negra This part, the one was made of cotton and the second, the one was made of he knew the cotton was worth about $50 per piece counting the reel. However he bought settlement instead he was careful out and ordered to get if the place which he had will not meet the reel. The Negro was told that透過 Indian had to power to make the planter pay what was larned to be due about $1500 but was suggested that he go back to warrior work and employ a first-class lawyer to affect the money. But he protested that was a dangerous proposition and he did not dare to return to the reel. He was in favor of employing a Jackson attorney and of letting a greenwood and bring the reel. It has was an exceptional case it might be suggested that the Negro was living out of whole cloth. But it is by no means the first and only report of the kind that has reached the office of the governor and of other state officials. Only the day previous two Negroes from Yarpo County were at the governor's office on a similar mission and several others have communicated their tales of woe by mail. PATRIOTIC MASQUE AT HAMPTON.

The reason assigned for this decision is the reduction of the nursing force abroad as the need for their grows less. The letter in full follows. I reply to your letter of December 9 in which you state that hundreds of nurses have offered their services through the Red Cross to go to France. I desire to inform you that a group of nurses have been assigned to it at Camp Sherman and at Camp Gran. Steps were being taken toward assigning others to service when the army was signed. I thus necessitated immediate reduction of the nursing force in this country and steps are be- given taken toward the relief of ap- proximately two thousand nurses from the service. Also, an account of the essation ofustilities no additional nurses are needed overseas and measure- will be taken from time to time toward redressing the nursing force abroad as the need for their services grows less. It is regretted therefore that it will not be possible to send a shored nurses abroad for duty Very respectfully, (Signed) NEWTON D. BAKER Secretary of War The letter of Mr. Moore referred to read as follows Hon. Newton D. Baker I am writing you in the interest of the hundreds of our nurses who have offered their services through the Red Cross to go to France. So far they have been refused permission to go, but they are still insistent that they should be permitted to go, and tender service to the boys over there and the boys over there would be more than delighted to have them to nurse them and do for them as they only know how to do. It cannot be said that our nurses are not qualified, for we have some of the best in the service. This can be tested to by the best physicians throughout the country, and we cannot understand why the government has discriminated against them, when in every emergency they have offered their services freely. Our people have done their part in war loans, in Red Cross contributions and to the hundreds of thousands of dollars is you measure service by dollars. They richly deserve the square deal that they are asking for. I am sure, Mr Secretary that you will reason this out and I feel reason it in a way to the advantage of our nurses. There is an opportunity here to show that the government believes in an absolute democracy in which no color line should be permitted to enter. There is a feeling that we are discriminated against. We have faith in you and your fairness. You have tried to show your interest in us and I am asking you now to go a step further and cut the red tape that stands between our nurses and their soldiers in France. Asking your serious consideration of this request, I am with great respect Very sincerely yours. FRED A. MOOR George A. Myers, proprietor of the Hollenstein barber shop, Cleveland, Ohio, together with his employees, contributed in the war chest during the recent war of which we know the N. M. ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

D. C. The success that has attended the labors of Emmett J. Scott as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War is one of the outstanding features of the participation of the colored American in the war which is now approaching triumphant close, with democracy well assured for many of the oppressed peoples of the world. Mr Scott has just finished the first year of his very satisfactory administration of the great trust reposed in him as the official representative of the 12,000,000 colored citizens of the republic. It is conceded upon all sides, and by both races, that the practical results achieved by Mr Scott in his particular and trying field, and the intricate problems he has met and so intelligently mastered, amply justify the Secretary of War's decision to create the office. All questions as to the tenure of Mr Scott are effectively set at rest by a recent letter, written to Mr Scott by the Hon. Newton D Baker, Secretary of War who makes plain his appreciation of the fine services rendered by Mr Scott during the months that he has been at his side as a helper in the solution of some of the knottiest problems that the War Department has been called upon to face. Secretary Baker expressed the hope that it will be possible for Mr. Scott to continue his work in the War De partment through the period of the de mobilization of the troops. The Secretary War took the view that the problems ahead of us are just as numerous and perplexing as those that have been dealt with during the past year are indicated that it would be most helpful to all concerned if he could, have Mr. Scott's continued counsel and advice in connection with the important questions that are bound to arise in the adjustment of the issues of the future. A further testimonial to the worth and far-reaching effect of the work that has been carried on by the special as sistant comes from George Creel chairman of the Committee on Public Information, who wrote as follows My dear Mr. Scott Before completing the work of the Committee on Public Information, I wish to write you a very sincere letter of thanks for your very real contribution to the cause of national unity. As special assistant to the Secretary of War, with specific duty to maintain the morale of the colored population of the United States you have discharged a delicate task with discretion, the very highest intelligence and the very greatest devotion to your people and to your country. "I can truthfully say that the Committee on Public Information, in its fight for unity, has been helped immeasurably by you. It has been a pleasure to work with you, and I want to say a very sincere personal word of my deep appreciation. It must be a matter of pride to you to know that no portion of the population has been more loyal than the people of your race. Not the least of the strength of the war purpose of America has proceeded from the courage and devotion of the colored people." An unmistakable and convincing print of the increasing usefulness of the office of the Special Assistant is found in the steady growth of the bureau. A nucleus of one the number of person- attached to the office has increased to eight and the bureau now occupies two commonsal chambers in the State War and Navy Building (rooms 144 146) overlooking Pennsylva- ama avenue and Seventeenth street. Because of the fact that the bureau manifold acts as touch every conceivable branch of the military estab- ment and lea- ves essentially with every phase of the warfare of the 12 000 000 colonies.
