Mobile, Ala.—The three hundredth year of the Negro's presence in this country was observed by a big parade Jan. 2, in which some ten thousand took part. The city accorded Bienville Square for the spending, and many leading white citizens enjoyed the exercises. The speaker of the day was Walter S. Buchanan, president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes at Normal, Alabama. After recounting the remarkable progress of the race, President Buchanan made a strong plea for the remaking of public sentiment, on the race question, by wiping out unfair and discriminatory laws and making instead fair and equitable ones. His advice to the returned soldiers was especially timely, as was his statement of the "When danger threatened we met our Government's war program at every angle.

"And now as we stack arms to study war no more, we feel that we have done our full duty by our country, and we stand before the bar of public opinion, expectant, waiting—what will our country do for us? How will our sacrifice and patriotism and devotion be rewarded? "We are prepared to be patient for we know that public sentiment is not remolded over night, but we do expect to see a serious effort on the part of the other face to remake sentiment in the right direction. And in this, our law-making bodies, from the national Congress down to smallest city council, can have untold influence by wiping out unfair and degrading discriminatory laws and writing in their stead fair and equitable ones. It is not fair to lay the whole burden (Continued on Second Page) FRENCH AUTHORITIES DECORATE 124 MORE A special cable to the New York World from Paris told how 124 American Negroes have been decorated by the French authorities for extraordinary heroism under fire. These were members of the 371st and 372nd Infantry Regiments. Four of them received the Medaille Militaire and the other the War Cross. The two regiments were brigaded with the French, under the command of Gen. Goybet of the 157th Division. Those to receive the much-coveted Medaille Militaire were Sergt. Depew Preyor, Corpil. Clifton Morrison, Privates Clarence Van Allen and Kenneth Lewis. All were from Massachusetts and belonged to the same company. Lewis is dead, having been killed at his post by hand grenades. He took from the Germans a machine gun while it was in action on Busy Farm, in the Champagne district. George Byrd, one of the winners of the War Cross, was in command of a mortar near Verdun. He gave valuable assistance to a raiding party by cutting wires so the party could advance into enemy territory. The mortar he was firing had not been securely placed, and it began to jump about. In order to assure a steady aim he sat on it while it was piping hot, and continued to about, by feeding the gun from behind. He temporarily lost his hearing, and has not yet fully recovered from the deafening effect of the gun. Cordi, Eyre, another winner of the War Cross with palms, is with the 31st Infantry, composed mainly of boys from South Carolina. The 312d is made up of former members of National Guard regiments of Massachusetts, Washington, D.C.; Maryland, Ohio and Tennessee.

EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DEAD AT OYSTER BAY Theodere Roosevelt died in his home at Oyster Bay at 4:15 o'clock Monday morning. He passed away in his sleep, without suffering pain. His death, stunningly unexpected despite his illnesses of recent years, was caused by a pulmonary embolism, which means that a clot of blood was carried through an artery to the lungs, wher it stopped the circulation. Weakening of the blood vessels which caused the embolism accompanied the attack of inflammatory rheumatism for which Col. Roosevelt was treated at Roosevelt Hospital from November 11 to Christmas Day. The original cause of both manifestations was the infection of a tooth dating back twenty years. All his life the former President had drawn unmercifully upon his marvellous store of energy. Nevertheless up to a comparatively recent period one would have guessed that he, had many years yet to live. But the man who lived the strenuous life as well as preached it survived his sixtieth birthday by only seventy days. His last words were spoken to his colored man servant and friend—evety-belly who ever worked for Col. Roosevelt was his friend James Amos, who attended him in the White House and returned to his service within the last year. They were: "Please turn out the light, James." The simplest obsequies ever accorded a man of great public distinction will be those of the late master of Sagamore Hill. They will be held Wednesday. First there will be a prayer at the home, where only relatives will gather. At 12:45 o'clock p. m. the Episcopal service for the dead will be read in Christ Church, Oyster Bay, where the Roosevelts, big and little, have worshipped these many years. Perhaps the most genuine tribute to Col. Roosevelt was the utterance of Charley Lee. Roosevelt's coachman in the old days, then chauffeur of the black limousine, initialled "T. R." Driving down the village in the afternoon to get a pile of telegrams, Charley Lee said: "I have lost the best friend I ever had; yes, sir, the best friend that anybody ever had in all this world." A Breaker of Procedents. Among the presidents, Mr. Roosevelt might be listed as the Breaker of Procedents. He had been in the White House less than a month when he broke one precedent with which the nation rang—he invited to luncheon Booker T. Washington, head of Tuskegee Institute and the foremost figure of the Negro race. The South protested, but Mr. Roosevelt went on to name as Collector of Customs at Charleston, S. C. Dr. William D. Crum, whom he stood by no insolently that when the Senate refused to confirm the nomination he appointed Dr. Crum in the rosses of the session. were forthwith discharged without honor from the service because they had taken part in Mr. Roosevelt's phrase, in a "conspiracy of silence" to protect those actually responsible for the outrage. Identified with Rocky Mountain Club. The following telegram, dated Washington, D. C., Jan. 6, was sent to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, by Hon. John Hays Hammond, president of the Rocky Mountain Club of New York: As its president, I send you, on behalf of the members of the Rocky Mountain Club, our heartfelt sympathy in your great bereavement. Theodore Roosevelt was the first honorary member of the Rocky Mountain Club, and as you know he was keenly interested in its activities. As the club is composed of representative men of the Rocky Mountain and Western States and men prominently identified with the upholding of that great section of our country which he knew so well and loved so dearly, our appreciation of the rugged manhood and sterling Americanism of our great friend and fellow member, Theodore Roosevelt, was peculiarly gratifying to him. He was ever interested and his co-operation was a great inspiration to us in our activities for the welfare of the nation and of humanity. His loss is irreparable to the nation and to the world. We of the Rocky Mountain Club shall retain a deep and abiding affection for his memory and shall be ever eager to render service to his brave and loyal wife and to his splendid patriotic soldier sons of whom he was so justly proud. JOHN HAYS HAMMOND Former President Roosevelt, besides accepting the position of honorary chairman of the general committee for Belgium relief, gave his whole hearted support to our friend Punx.

COLORED UNITS HELD GROUND WHERE OTHERS HAD FAILED THREE TIMES Details have but recently reached THE AGE of the last drive on the Western Front made by the American Expeditionary Forces in the direction of Metz. Three previous attempts had been made against this objective, but each time the attacking forces failed to hold the ground won for any length of time. Through a communication received from Capt. W. R. Sanders of the 365th Infantry, we are told how the fourth attack was launched and successfully carried out by units composed of colored soldiers and officers. The account follows: The last and new drive of the American Expeditionary Forces was made by the 365th Infantry assisted by "B" 350th Machine Battalion, and colored artillery. The drive started at Pont a Mousson at 7 A. M., Nov. 10, 1918, in the direction of the strong forts of Metz, which is one of the Germans' strongest points. The first objective was Bois Frehaut (Woods), which were about three miles in depth and two miles in width. Barbed wire and obstacles were placed so thick until no one could pass through it. After a fight of eight hours these were taken and held by the 2nd Battalion, 365th Infantry Machine Gun Co., 365th Infantry and 57th M. M. Platoon, 365th Infantry. All units were commanded by colored officers. The battalion was under the command of Major Warner A. Ross (white), 365th Infantry. for conspicuous gallantry in action during the operation connected with the capture and defense of Bois Frehaut. Some of the officers mentioned were: Captain William W. Green, commanding the first wave, who was a member of the 24th Infantry, before being commissioned. Capt. Walter R. Sanders, commanding the second wave, also second in command of the battalion. Capt. Sanders was a member of the old fighting 10th Cavalry before he received his commission as a captain. company H. North Carolina; John M. Moore, Trench-Mortar Platoon; Second Lieutenants Russell C.

Austin, Machine Gun Company, Ohio; Lawrence Simpson, Machine Gun Company, Wilberforce, Ohio; Julian C. Banks, A. Ross (white), 365th Infantry. This drive resulted in the capture of ground strongly held by Germans and well fortified against attack, a number of prisoners and material. This ground was held until the bugle sounded for cease firing at 11 a. m. Nov. 11, as the result of the armistice. Major Warner A. Ross, commanding the 2nd Battalion and attached units, cited many officers (11 colored) and men 10 POST OFFICE SERVICE. William Brown who died after a protracted illness, at his residence, 123 West 131st street, Dec. 1, had been an employee of the Post Office and for a period of fourteen years attached to Station G. He was married six years ago to Miss Alice Harper of Abbeville, S. C., and was a devoted and affectionate-husband. He was born in Wilmington, N. C. forty-four years ago, and was educated in the public schools of that city. He took advantage of every opportunity to improve himself, taking a special correspondence course at the Chicago University and receiving a diploma from that institution on his graduation. He was a faithful member and worker in the Y. M. C. A. and a member of the Board of Management. He was a faithful member of St. James Presbyterian Church, holding important and responsible offices. His exemplary character, his devotion to the welfare of the church and his consistent Christianity made him a favorite of his feffow members. He was one of the chief factors in the removal of St. James to Hartlem. He was known for his uncompromising principles for right and hated wrong. His high sense of honor will make it difficult to find his successor. The deceased was a member of several secret societies, as well as of the Mutual Beneficial Association of Post Office Employees. He leaves a widow and numerous friends who will mourn the loss of one whom they learned to love and respect. He was buried by St. Michael's Cemetery. for conspicuous gallantry in action during the operation connected with the capture and defense of Bois Frehaut. Some of the officers mentioned were Captain William W. Green, commanding the first wave, who was a member of the 24th Infantry, before being commissioned. Capt. Walter R. Sanders, commanding the second wave, also second in command of the battalion. Capt Sanders was a member of the old fighting 10th Cavalry before he received his commission as a captain. First Lieut. Walter Lyons, commanding Company G in first wave. Lieut. Lyons was a member of the 10th Cavalry before receiving his commission. 1st Lieut. Benj. F. Ford, with first wave.

Allen was a member of the 25th Infantry before receiving his commission. 1st Lieut. Dace H. Burns was a member of the 25th Infantry before being commissioned as first lieutenant. 1st Lieut. Lawrence Simpson, from Wilberforce. Officers of the 37 M. M. guns did excellent work. 1st Lieut. Jefferson E. Hugues was in command. He was a member of the 25th Infantry before receiving his commission. Eleven officers and men were cool and cheerful before the time came to move, also during the entire drive, just as though nothing was on their minds but the mission in front of them. History simply continued. The world knows, even though some people will not admit it, that the colored soldier is a good fighter. It has been proven in all wars, and in this great world war which has just ended he has played his part. The Bois Frehaut has been attacked three times, but each time the attacking troops have failed to hold it any length of time. When the fourth attack was launched by the colored troops it was captured and held. Although the largest-guns of the German forts were fired on them, they marched forward to the last minute. German snipers were in trees with machine guns, but they were easily removed by our soldiers. Officers who took part in the attack were as follows. Capt. Walter R. Sanders, commanding Company E and second in command of the 2nd Battalion, formerly of 10th Cavalry; Capt. William W. Green, commanding Company H and in first wave, 24th Infantry; Capt. John H.

OHIO WAGE EARNERS ARE FARING WELL IN RE-ADJUSTMENT Cases to be Handled Without Discrimination as to Color, Religion or Politics. (Special to The New York Acct.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Industrial conditions are encouraging, according to the report made by Charles E. Hall, Supervisor of Negro Economics for Ohio, to Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics. He says that the Negro wage-earners are faring well in the industrial readjustment and labor changes due to suspension of war operations in Europe. Mr. Hall's report is based on his own first-hand knowledge and work, and information obtained through the State and County Negro Workers' Advisory Committee from every section of Ohio where there are any number of these workers. It shows that only three counties of the state have an extensive unemployment. One of these probably will soon take care of its workers since many of its large factories are rapidly (Continued from First Page) changing over from war to peace work Conditions in another of these counties, in which Cincinnati is situated, are not likely to change soon, due to the fact that Cincinnati, as a gateway connecting the South and North, has had for several years a surplus of unemployed Negroes. The outlook in the third county is not very promising and yet the flood protection project there will be able to large numbers of Negro workmen for whom houses are available. Much of the success in Ohio is due to the hearty co-operation of the Associate Director of the Employment Service for Ohio, C. H. Mayhugh, who several times called the attention of superintendents and clerks of the various Employment Offices to the fact that all cases are to be handled strictly from a neutral standpoint; that color, religion, politics, union or non-union issues are not to be entered into, and all must be treated with the same degree of consideration. It seems that the industries in the communities of Cleveland, Columbus, Youngstown, Akron, Canton, Lima, Delaware, Greenfield, Steubenville, Zanesville, Chillicothe, Sandusky, Portsmouth, Marietta and Ironton either have been able or will be able to absorb men released from war work or men who for other cause may be idle, Iron and steel mills, paper mills and several other lines of industry are offering openings to Negro men and women. Akron and Youngstown housing conditions are inadequate. In Lima it seems that the housing conditions have been improved. "Organization work in Ohio is going rapidly," says Mr. Hall. "Twenty-three organizations of, carefully selected county men, who with the thirty members of the State Negro Workers' Advisory Committee constitute a splendid work and advisory force of women and men; all of whom are alive to the situation, and who have been convinced by the happenings of the last two years, of necessity of having an organization that can function through the Department of Labor and will, through officials, reach both employers and employees." In Butler County the Negro Workers' Advisory Committee has placed in a proper mill some of the laborers cut off from the American Rolling Mills. In Allen County the Swift Packing Company has recently given employment to Negro men and women who are making good. In Mahoning County, an increasing number of stores is giving employment to Negro girls as elevator operators and to male truck drivers. In Zanesville the County Negro Workers' Advisory Committee has just placed fifteen girls in local factories. Other county committees are busy working on large labor problems. Amicable relations with white workers exist in all of the industries in which Negro workers are engaged, says the report.

THE NEW YORK AGE, JANUARY 11, 1919 COL. ROOSEVELT reviewing West Indian Troops at Trinidad, British West Indies. ```markdown ``` EX-PRES. ROOSEVELT DEAD AT OYSTER BAY lived. I am 'deeply grieved at hearing of his death. "It was my pleasure to hear Mr. Roosevelt only once, and I shall never forget that time; it was in 1910, when he addressed the National Negro Business League at Palm Garden, New York City. I recall that it was his first public address after his return from Africa, and was considered significant. The demonstration that day was the greatest I had ever witnessed and I am very thankful that I was there." Greatest Friend of the Negro. At the Mass meeting held at Carnegie Hall Monday evening, under the auspices of the National Advancement Association, the following expression was adopted: "The death of Theodore Roosevelt has removed one the greatest figures of our country and our time and, in many respects, the greatest friend of the American Negro in public life. Colonel Roosevelt was human and he made mistakes in this as in other matters, but he was always fundamentally right on the Negro. "RESOLVED. That the citizens of the City of New York in a mass meeting held at Carnegie Hall, Monday evening, June 19, 1909, their deep sense of loss at Colonel Roosevelt's death and their keen sense of appreciation of the passion for fairness and right dealing which characterized his thoughts and actions in all his relations with his colored fellow citizens." DR. MOTON VISITS OUR TROOPS (Special to The New York Act.) organizations and urged them to set an example of industry and thrift to their race upon their return home. He cautioned the soldiers to exercise self-control in France and leave such a reputation that the Allies would respect the American Negro. Dr. Moton came to France at the invitation of President Wilson. UNION, S. C. — The colored citizens of Union celebrated Jan. 1 in great fashion. Monroe twelve hundred filled the Court House, the standing room. Prof. C. B. Johnson, Y. M. Secretary of Camp Wadworth, was the orator of the day. His subject was "The World War and Democracy as Regards the Negro." He spoke eloquently of the great victory of Democracy over Autocracy, America's great part and of President Wilson as the greatest moral leader of the age and expander of Democracy. Prof. Johnson spoke of the American Negro's important part in the Great World War shown by his patriotism, bravery, loyalty, service and sacrifice. He said the world war and democracy was the second emancipation of the Negro: (1) from ignorance of himself; (2) prejudice and race hatred and from industrial slavery. He stated what the Negro wants as a just reward for his service: (1) To be recognized as an American citizen; (2) equality of opportunity; (3) universal compulsory education; (4) universal manhood suffrage; (5) universal military training; (6) universal and equal justice. Then he appealed to the South to repeal disfranchising laws; (2) Jim Crow laws; to abolish the mob law or the Negro will migrate enmasse. Prof. Johnson offered a new plan for the peaceful solution of the race problem in the South by an equal distribution of Negroes throughout the 48 states of the Union, and thus what has been a sectional problem, will rightly become national, each state sharing in the burden of race problems. Twelve million Negroes equally distributed in the 48 states of the Union would be only 250,000 each. This the colorful people accepted enthusiastically. Then he urged organization of the a soldiers' and laborers' union for united action and self-defense. The Union people unanimously adopted resolutions offered by Prof. Johnson, embodying his views. State conferences of representatives of Negro wage-earners, white employers and white workmen have been held by the Department of Labor in Michigan and Missouri. Discussions of relations of white and colored workers and of employers and Negro wage-earners resulted in co-operative advisory committees and plans for work to improve relations between white and Negro wage-earners and their working conditions.

Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War and secretary of Tuskegee Institute, sent the following telegram of condolence to his family: The twelve million Negroes of America learn with sincere regret of the death of your distinguished husband. The nation suffers an irreparable loss in his passing. His intense patriotism, love of justice and practical helpfulness, endured him to the entire country. In your hour of bereavement I beg to assure you of the deepest sympathy of the Negro people and of Tuskegee Institute, of which he was an honored trustee. The demise of Col. Roosevelt is a sorrow which we share in common with his family. Emmett J. Scott Jay E. Keford of Waterbury, Conn., writes, "In reading of the death of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt on the bulletin this morning I had the same feeling come over me that I had the morning I read of the death of Booker T. Washington. Then I felt that the Negro race had lost the best friend it had in the race, now I feel that it has lost the best friend it had without the race. I have always felt, since his entry into public life, that he was the greatest American and I don't believe that any truer friend to the Negro ever Paris, France—Dr. Robert R. Moton, head of the Tuskegee Institute, who recently returned from a thousand-mile motor trip on a visit to the American Negro troops in Alsace-Lorraine and elsewhere, has reported to the American peace delegation that the condition of these soldiers is most satisfactory.

SUPERIOR TO COPARBA & MJEOTTONS SANIT MIDY RELIEVES IN 24 HOURS APPEALS TO SOUTH TO WIPE OUT UNJUST LAWS of reforming public sentiment upon the shoulders of the Negro himself. The laws and their administration not only reflect public sentiment—they make it. And unfair administration of law makes unfair sentiment. Thus the Negro suffer out of his own bad deeds, but sentiment formed through unfair news and magazine articles and by onesided justice and unfair laws which these produce. Therefore while we wait patiently and work at best we know how to bring about the right feeling towards us, we expect the moldera, of thought on the other side, to do much that they have already done and to help pave the way for a fairer, public sentiment without which we, as Negroes, can never enjoy the rightful fruits of our common heritage in a redeemed and auspicious democracy. "The return of our soldiers to civilian life intensifies the problem. Having been taught to walk with heads erect and shoulders square, stepping proudly as they should in their country's uniform, for a short while they will be looked upon with a feeling of pride and efforts will be made to do them honor, but if these soldiers are unduly slow about taking up the many jobs awaiting them, their novelty will soon wear off and they will be classed as vagrants and undesirables. We must urge these men to pick up the threads of industrial life where they hurriedly dropped them and to lose no time in making themselves desirable assets to their several communities. "Nor must they feel that a khaki suit makes immune to civil law. Rather should they feel the sting of shame at the thought of disgregating their country's uniform. Good sense in obeying the laws and in submitting to authority will do more than anything else to award winning for these returned heroes the lasting respect of their fellow citizens of both races. We must remind them to be sensible and expect many embarrassments—but never to forget that we can lose by a flight indiscretion here and now all that we fought for in the trenches of France."

KEPT THINGS MOVING. THE AGE has received a letter from Bordeaux, France, which throws some additional light on one of the most important factors in winning the war, namely, the Stevedore Regiments, mostly recruited in the South. The letter is in part as follows: I have seen many of your papers since I have been in France and I like them very much. But every time I look at it, I do not see anything about any outfit but the 15th of New York. Did you know that there were more covered troops in France? I don't know whether you know it or not, but it looks as if you all should put a little in about the poor old stevedores, who have been over here going on 13 months, and struggle to and from these docks singing and rejoicing, because they think that they are playing their part. When it is raining and snowing they go on just the same with a smile. So when one picks up a paper and sees nothing about the stevedores, it makes one feel like they are overlooked. If it was not for the work the stevedores did behind the lines the boys with the guns could not hake whipped the Germans as they did. We boys are still batting the ball and we know that we will be the last ones to come home, but we will come back with the same courage that we came over here with. There are 10,000 colored stevedores right in the port of Bordeaux, but I can't give any account of how many there are at the other ports, although I learned that there were 1,500 more in St. Nazaire than there are in Bordeaux. We have been changed from Stevedore to Transportation Corps. We are glad to print the above letter, as it emphasizes the important part played by the stevedores in the great achievements of the campaign, although our correspondent seems to have failed to get hold of previous issues of THE AGE telling of their work. However, it happens that special reference is made to this class of fighters in this issue by Mr. Walton, who describes their work at Brest, as he saw it on landing. In THE AGE of December 14, previous reference was made to the work of the stevedore regiments in a letter from Dr. Floyd G. Snelson, and the commendation it had excited from the Secretary of War, when he was in France. As was said on a former historic occasion, "There is glory enough for them all." And THE AGE is glad to help in bringing to the limelight all those who have a just title to a share of that glory. Among them the Stevedore Regiments, or Transportation Corps, are entitled to a conspicuous place. One of the problems of demobilization incident upon the coming of peace, is the question now being asked among the 92nd division, "What is to become of our colored officers? Are they going to be given a chance to get into the regular Army?" The question of making good has been settled to their own satisfaction and to the satisfaction of all those who have followed the achievements of this division. This was plainly set forth in the memorandum issued by Major General Ballou and published in The Age of Dec. 21, in which he pronounced the division commanded by him as "well disciplined and well trained." He declared that it had "participated in the last battle of the war with creditable success." The colored commissioned officers of this division, including the 367th Regiment, realize that they are powerless to act at the present time, being officers in the Army. But the members of the race not in the service are free to urge action giving these officers an opportunity to retain their commissions. While the country is in the glow and glory of welcoming the returning soldiers this question, should be taken up with the War Department. If further legislation is necessary to accomplish the desired result, the matter should be taken to Congress to obtain the necessary authority. Many of the officers affected have come up from the ranks and won their commissions upon pure merit. Others who came from civil life and were graduated from the officers' training camps, have gained their experience in the campaign on the French front. They would prove the best kind of material for the regular army, if they desire to continue the military career. Proper recognition of their excellent service in France would suggest that they be given the chance to remain in the Army. Will the American Government give them this chance? If the glowing testimonials to their valor and courage could be translated into concrete action, there would be no doubt of the answer to this question. But the gratitude of Republics is not always to be counted on. The sooner this question is pressed for settlement, the greater likelihood there is of a favorable solution. AMERICA'S FIRST CITIZEN. The unique individuality which more than any other might be styled the first citizen of America passed peacefully from this strenuous field of activity to the Great Beyond the first of this week. Theodore Roosevelt was indecent in the first ranks of true Americans. He embodied the best and most characteristic traits of the Occident. A product of the culture and civilization of the eastern part of the country, he went west and absorbed in his youth the boundless freedom and vigor of that part of the continent. Frank, free and outspoken in his sentiments, he was the living embodiment of a true democracy that knew no limits on account of race, color and previous condition. Assured of his own standing, he was willing to accord all others the consideration their deserts merited. As governor of New York he opened the public schools of New York State to all children without discrimination. As President he did more to put the Negro on the same plane of equality in appointments to office as other elements of the Republic. He braved the opprobrium of the South in several instances, without flinching or equivocation. True, he aroused the bitter and lauding contempt of many of the race in his action in the Brownsville affair, when he dishonorably discharged from the service the battalion of the 24th Infantry, charged with shooting up the town, although the guilt of those discharged was never satisfactorily proved. His alliance with the Progressives and the lily-white politicians of the South also grated harshly upon the susceptibilities of those who admired him for his personal freedom from the taint of color prejudice. But, all in all, he was a man, whose courage and character commanded respect, even when his acts were opposed to the interests of those who admired him most. A COMMUNITY WELCOME. In arranging for a welcome to the old Fifteenth Regiment it is well that all the citizens of New York City, and even through the State, should be represented, without restriction as to race or color. The Fifteenth was recruited from all sections of the State, under the auspices of the State government, and it was speeded on its mission to fight for democracy by the chief executive of the State. It fought and bled for the whole people, and THE NEGRO AT THE PEACE TABLE. A few weeks ago The Age put forth in the election of a new peace conference. The thing would have been all very well to go in a sort of advisory council of bringing pressure to bear on every day of full delegates beizizations all over the country. All of this misdirected zeal to ignorance; ignorance of world. All of these delegates have of going to place before the rest the wrongs and injustices suffer. These steps have been taken the Negro problem in the United international question. The pro-France or Italy would dare to be likely that the American delegate Japan and China may post against Asiatics; but not even to so far violate international prece the peace table a matter which in tion with which only the United I am not now speaking of w sense, of what is right and ought according to all the probabili tional law, precedent, courtesy will not be done.

The fact that he is oft the point, he is, nevertheless, legal weeks ago The Age spoke about the waste of the election of a multiplicity of colored delegates. The thing has reached the absurd that been all very well to have had two or three sort of advisory capacity, to use every possible pressure to bear on the peace delegates, but full delegates being elected by various colored over the country. This misdirected zeal, energy and money is ignorance of world conditions and world peace delegates have been chosen for the special place before the representatives of the different and injustices suffered by the American Negroes have been taken without a realization of the problem in the United States is a national question. The peace delegations of neither Italy would dare to broach it at the table; and the American delegation would voluntarily break and China may possibly protest against disclosures; but not even these two great colored nations international precedent and courtesy as to trouble a matter which will be regarded as a done which only the United States is concerned. Now speaking of what is within the bounds of it is right and ought to be done; I am speaking all the probabilities and in accordance with precedent, courtesy and international red tape done. I am facing the cold facts. As the armistice was signed, a number of clerks began an agitation for a presentation of the especially the former German colonies in Africa the peace conference and to the whole world criticism from those who saw in such a mode of the American Negro; but a broad and will show that this was one of the wisest men. And for the simple reason that the only international question; it belongs at the point represented there, from England to Liberia, Africa, in fact, at bottom was the cause of the African question is wisely and justly set guarantees for future peace. Shedding the right light and bringing the right future status of Africa and the African country best means that could be taken to focus peace delegates and the entire civilized world of Negro everywhere. It take a great knowledge of history and work in the problem of the Negro in the United States settled around the peace table at Versailles, common sense and serious thought to understrike Europe are not going to do very much, even the laws and the disregard of laws in Georgia. For democracy for the natives of Africa is an end belongs at the peace table; if it is won, States will reap many of the benefits of the war democracy for the people of African deserts not an international question and has no peace table. It is not on the same plane as the natives of Africa and India and other departments in the United States is not a subject race and thus of a subject race.

The thing has reached the absurd stage. It would have been all very well to have had two or three men chosen to go in a sort of advisory capacity, to use every possible means of bringing pressure to bear on the peace delegates, but we learn every day of full delegates being elected by various colored organizations all over the country. All of this misdirected zeal, energy and money is due mainly to ignorance; ignorance of world conditions and world questions. All of these delegates have been chosen for the specific purpose of going to place before the representatives of the different nations the wrongs and injustices suffered by the American Negro. These steps have been taken without a realization of the fact that the Negro problem in the United States is a national and not an international question. The peace delegations of neither England, France or Italy would dare to broach it at the table; and it is hardly likely that the American delegation would voluntarily bring it up. Japan and China may possibly protest against discrimination against Asiatics; but not even these two great colored nations would so far violate international precedent and courtesy as to bring up at the peace table a matter which will be regarded as a domestic question with which only the United States is concerned. I am not now speaking of what is within the bounds of common sense, of what is right and ought to be done; I am speaking of what, according to all the probabilities and in accordance with international law, precedent, courtesy and international red tape, will and will not be done. I am facing the cold facts. As soon as the armistice was signed, a number of clear-visioned colored people began an agitation for a presentation of the cause of Africa and especially the former German colonies in Africa to the delegates to the peace conference and to the whole world. Tins brought some criticism from those who saw in such a move a desertion of the cause of the American Negro; but a broad and deep study of the matter will show that this was one of the wisest moves that could be taken. And for the simple reason that the question of Africa is an international question; it belongs at the peace table; every nation represented there, from England to Liberia, can freely discuss it. Africa, in fact, at bottom was the cause of the great war; and unless the African question is wisely and justly settled there can be no guarantees for future peace. And so, shedding the right light and bringing the right pressure to bear on the future status of Africa and the African colonies are, perhaps, the very best means that could be taken to focus the attention of the peace delegates and the entire civilized world on the just claims of the Negro everywhere. It does not take a great knowledge of history and world politics to realize that the problem of the Negro in the United States is not going to be settled around the peace table at Versailles. It takes only a little common sense and serious thought to understand that, the Powers of Europe are not going to do very much, even if they could, to change the laws and the disregard of laws in Georgia and Alabama and Mississippi. The fight for democracy for the natives of Africa is an international question and belongs at the peace table; if it is won, the Negro in the United States will reap many of the benefits of the victory. But the fight for democracy for the people of African descent in the United States is not an international question and has no recognized place at the peace table. It is not on the same plane as the question of rights for the natives of Africa and India and other dependencies. The Negro in the United States is not a subject race and does not accept the status of a subject race. He is a citizen of the United States, with all the rights of citizenship guaranteed him by the Constitution. The fact that he is often denied these rights is aside from the point, he is, nevertheless, legally as much a citizen of the United it should be welcomed by the people as a whole. little more than one-fourth of those put to death, were charged with As Governor Whitman entrusted the honor of the State to the regiment, when he delivered the colors to it before the Union League Club, a little over a year ago, it would be fitting for his successor to delegate him to receive the regiment and congratulate it on the manner in which it bore those colors through the campaign. Let a committee be formed with Mr. Whitman as chairman, to include citizens of both races, to welcome back to New York the heroes of the Old Fifteenth. Let it be a genuine democratic reception. LYNCHINGS INCREASED. Georgia led the list of lynchings for 1918, with a total of 18, twice the number of any other State. Louisiana and Texas followed with 9 each; Mjississippi, 6; Tennessee, 4; Alabama, 3; Arkansas, Florida and North Carolina, 2 each; California, Illinois, Kentucky, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wyoming, 1 each. There was a total of 62 lynchings during the past year, according to the records compiled by Monroe N. Work, in charge of records and research of the Tuskegee Institute. This is 24 more than the number, 38, for the year 1917. Of those lynched 58 were Negroes and 4 were whites. Five of those put to death were women. Sixteen, or a he spoke about the waste of effort because multiplicity of colored delegates to the Congress has reached the absurd stage.

It light and bringing the right pressure of Africa and the African colonies are that could be taken to focus the attention to the entire civilized world on the justice. Knowledge of history and world politics of the Negro in the United States is not a peace table at Versailles. It takes a serious thought to understand that going to do very much, even if they the disregard of laws in Georgia and for the natives of Africa is an internal peace table; if it is won, the Negro many of the benefits of the victory of the people of African descent in the national question and has no recognized not on the same plane as the question of India and India and other dependencies.

He is a citizen of the United Stateship guaranteed him by the Convention denied these rights is aside from really as much a citizen of the United little more than one-fourth of those put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offenses charged against the white man killed were: Murder, 2, being disloyal, 2. The offenses charged against the Negroes were: Alleged complicity in murder, 14; murder, 7; charged with threats to kill, 6; charged with rage, 10; charged with attempted rape, 6; alleged participation in fight about alleged hog stealing, 3; killing other of the jaw, 2; being intimate with woman, 1; assisting man charged with murder to escape, 1; killing man in dispute about automobile repairs, 1; making unwise remarks, 1; making unruly remarks, 1; killing landlord in a dispute over a farm contract, 1; assault with intent to murder, 1; wounding another, 1; robbery and resisting arrest, 1. Two features stand out boldly from this record: One is that the charge of rape no longer figures to any extent as an excuse for lynch law. The other is that President Wilson's appeal issued last July has not yet had any appreciable effect in reducing the number of mob murders. In it he said: I therefore very earnestly and solemnly beg that the Governors of all the States, the law officers of every community, and, above all, the men and women of every community in the United States, all who revere America and wish to keep her name without stain or reproach, will co-operate—not passively merely, but actively and watchfully—to make an end of this disgraceful evil. It cannot live where the community does not countenance it. No stronger appeal to the law-abiding spirit of the community could be made. The question is—must it be made in vain? The Soul of a Lyncher To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: By some mischance a copy of your paper, containing a whole lot of abuse, insults and ill manners towards the white people of the South, fell into my hands. I read your paper with the same feelings and loathings that I would have had if I had held a copper-bellied snake in my hand. My first impulse was to throw the blame thing in the fire, but on second thought I decided to write you a letter and try to teach you some sense. I know when a white man condescends to write to a nigger it gives the nigger the swell head and makes him a bigger fool than nature has already made him. But I am going to write you a letter if it causes your head to burst wide open. In the first place, John, or whatever your name may be, it would not be healthy for you to publish your paper in the South, if you did some fine morning a white man would walk up to you and lam you side the jaw with his fist and knock some of the ill manners and tomfoolery out of your head. The trouble with you Yankee niggers, especially the yellow brood, is that you are hankering after social equality with the white people. You would be tickled to death, John, if you could walk into some white man's parlor and snuggle up close beside his daughter. But don't do, John, if you do we will hang you between the heavens and the earth. The best medicine for a nigger that has the social equality bugs working in his head is a good dose of hemp rope. We are good to our niggers in the South as long as they stay in their place, but we are as mean as all get out if they get out of their place. Another thing, John, it seems from your writing that you are expecting the white people to divide their tax money in half and spend one-half on nigger schools and the other half on their own children. John, if this is your thought then you have another thought coming. The fact is book learning will ruin any nigger. If you want to spoil a good field hand just take a nigger out of the plow handles and educate him. As soon as he is educated he makes a bee line for the chain-gang or penitentiary. If he can't break into our jails then he heads for the North. An educated nigger is not worth his weight in shucks on a farm. The laziness that accumulates in his hide spreads like an epidemic through the community, and his book learning spoils the air for miles around. I notice, also, that you are asking for the ballot for the niggers. Now, John, take it from me, the ballot is a good thing for the nigger to let lone. The trouble is you Yankee niggers write too much any way, and stir up strife. You ought to go to work. You would look lots better in overalls than you do in your Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. I have told you plainly what the white people are going to do for the niggers in the South; if you don't like it you can't help yourself. You can kick up all the dust that you please, but we have got a grip on the seat of your breeches and a strangling hold on your throat. But I shall cut this letter short by saying.

State as anybody else. Subject races all over the world are to-day struggling to have certain rights of citizenship written for them in the laws of the nations to which they bear allegiance; therefore, their cases naturally go for consideration before the international tribunal which is now assembling. But the American Negro is contending for the fulfillment of rights already guaranteed him by the Constitution and for the impartial interpretation and application of existing laws. International law, the rule which is used by nations only to justify themselves in doing the things they want to do, will regard the American Negro as a full American citizen and any dissatisfaction he may have with his government as a purely local and domestic affair. Therefore, since no nation has a burning desire to dip into such a delicate matter, we may be sure that each one will avail itself of the excuse which international law provides and will duck the whole disagreeable business. The Negro had just as well put away all ideas of quick, quack remedies for his condition. He had just as well realize that he has got to fight out his battle right here at home, at close quarters. He had just as well put out of his mind the idea that something will happen, that something will drop down from the skies which will make everything right for him. We have just finished the great war for democracy. There were those of the race who thought and taught that all we needed to do while black boys were fighting over there was to buy Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, to assist in Red Cross drives and other activities, to keep our mouths shut, and the war would do the rest. The war is over and the miracle has not happened. And no miracle is going to happen. Miracles of that kind never happen. Only a couple of weeks ago the newspapers recorded the lynching of an honorably discharged colored soldier in Kentucky. And what was the crime for which he was lynched? He had resisted arrest by a constable. He did not even kill the constable; he merely knocked him down and walked off; for that he was lynched. I do not mean to intimate that the war did not bring us a great many vital things, but the most vital thing it brought us was not things already accomplished for us, but the opportunity to accomplish things for ourselves. And the greatest opportunity it brought us was not the opportunity to fight in France, but the opportunity and the right to fight more effectively here at home for the things in the name of which this war was waged. Let us then get together on a united front with the understanding that the fight is not over, but has just begun. FEDERAL REGULATION.

Karlam 3563 THE LIBYA (FORMERLY WATTS' MANSION) "The Place To Dine Well" WHEN VISITING NEW YORK CITY MAKE IT YOUR FIRST STOP- WE WILL MAKE IT YOUR BEST The Gateway To Refinement KEYS & BUCKNER THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS COLOR LINE IN BASE BALL COLOR LINE IN BASE BALL The proposition advanced by Dave Young, a New Yorker, to the effect that colored baseball teams should be not only organized, but pitted against white teams, has given a bad case of shivers to the baseball expert of the Evening World. This writer, Hugh S. Fullerton, while admitting that such a move would create interest, fears "it would create riots and trouble also." After talking about the "intensified race antagonism" that would result, not only between players but between the spectators, Mr. Fullerton disproves his own conclusions by some interesting reminiscences, as follows: In some ways the drawing of the color line in baseball is rather unfortunate, because it bars from the game some of the finest players that have been developed. There are at least two colored teams in the United States that rank close up to the best of the big leaguers, and there are some individuals who could hold their own on any team in the country. Petway of the American Giants, for instance, is one of the finest players in the world; Lloyd, now dead, who for years played with colored teams, was a magnificent man in every department. Bucker, as a player and as a comedian, has been for twenty years a great card, and at an age at which the majority of players refuse to slippers and rheumatism he still can play a gallant third base, as almost any Palm Beach guest who has watched the Negro teams perform in winter will attest. A dozen such players might be named. There is one genius, however, who has given the sport a great boost among colored people and is, "Rulee Foster, a man now well toward fifty, who still is a great pitcher and one of the finest pitchers in the country." He has also been a baseball ever have seen. ```markdown ``` One when the old champion was champagne, they played a pickup in a game against a colored team, and had their hands full. They could not hit the pitching, and some of them "got after" their opponents, who responded with good natured rulele of the champ. Tinker was trying a little "goat getting," and the mascot of the team, a black little fellow, was laughing at him. Tinker thoughtlessly turned and called him "Nigger." At that moment one of the Negro players stepped up and said, very quietly. "Mister Tinker, that child that you call 'nigger' is my wife's baby." He said it with such feeling and earnestness that Tinker, in a flash, was ashamed, and turning be grasped the man's hand and said: "I'm sorry I said that." Tinker tells the story himself, and adds that his respect for colored men has been greater since that time than ever before. Poor Buckner, good-natured, jolly, was the butt of many a joke among the players. His brother, Bill Buckner, who was trainer of Major Taylor, the bicycle champion, who helped train Fitzsimmons, Jeffries and other fighters and who was for years trainer of the Chicago White Sox, had a host of yarns about Buck. He told of a tailor who offered a suit of clothes for a home run. Buck hit the home run and got the suit. The day the suit was delivered the donned it and the team went to Milwaukee. The suit was black and white in checkerboards an inch square, and calculated to dazzle so, in the parade Buck insisted on riding with the driver on the seat of the carriage. On the way to the park they were caught in a sudden shower and Buck was drenched to the skin. He sat in the club house drying his new clothes while the other players put on their uniforms and went to the field. At game time Buck was missing. A hasty search was made and he was discovered almost dead in his locker. The suit had shrunk so rapidly it was choking him to death and they had to cut it off him to save his life. There were Negro players in the big leagues years ago, but the line was drawn. Darnell, a great catcher, worked in the big leagues in the olden days. Toledo once had a colored man, who was declared by miany to be the greatest catcher of the time and greater even than his contemporary, Buck Ewing. Tony Mullane, than whom no pitcher ever had more speed, was pitching, for Toledo, and he did not like to be the battery-partner of a Negro. "I had it in for him," Tony admitted years later. "He was the best catcher I ever worked with, but I disliked a Negro and whenever I had to pitch to him I used to pitch anything I wanted without looking at his signals. One day he signalled me for a curve and I shot a fast ball at him. He caught it and walked down to me. "Mr. Murdane, he said, 'I'll catch you without signals, but I won't catch you if you are going to cross me' when I give you a signal." "And all the rest of that season he caught me and caught anything I pitched without knowing what was coming." MUSICAL COMEDY NEXT WEEK AT LAFAYETTE The touring tour act comedy meditator, The Girl He Couldn't Punish, the opening at the Lafayette theater of the Lafayette theatre the world. This play has made a treasure for the world. in an institution have been presented in successive recitals. The public know what to expect now that the second series is announced. These cultural recitals are going to be more far reaching than was at first anticipated; they are not only going to educate the musical tastes of the race, but if this inherent taste is educated it will create an appreciation of culture in other ways. The artists for the first recital of the series are Miss Helen E. Hagan and Harry A. Delmore. The Boston Herald says: "Miss Hagan's tone is remarkable for its quality and depth. In a word Miss Hagan deserves an honorable place among the younger pianists. Mr. Delmore is the possessor of an unusually good natural voice combined with superior training under one of the greatest vocal masters. To hear Mr. Delmore once is to want to hear him again and often." Mrs. Tapley has also planned to educate the concert and recital going public by beginning on time. The recitals will begin promptly at 8:45. PROF. ADGER AT ST. JAMES' CHURCH. Prof. Leon S. Adger, noted organist and teacher, began his duty as organist and choirmaster of St. James' Presbyterian Church last Sunday. Mr. Leon S. Adger has filled a very vital place in the musical activities of New York City, and from his past performances as director, St. James' Church looks with pleasure, to future days, as being the center of musical events. Mr. Adger has given organ and piano recitals in all the large cities of the country, and is considered one of the best teachers that the race possesses. Mr. Adger is the only Negro pupil of the late blind organist, D. D. Wood, and ranks with the best organists the country affords. ALPHA CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS ALPHA CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS.

THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. The United Booking Office has changed its name to B. F. Keith's Vaudeville Exchange. Hereafter all reference to the United Booking Office in advertising, contracts, letters of inquiry and the like should be addressed to B. F. Keith Vaudeville Exchange. No little amount of real pride was stirred by the news of the appointment of Ruby Shelton as third assistant city clerk of Indianapolis. His appointment shows his distinct versatility and practically contradicts the saying common among people of other vocations that a showman is of little use outside the theatre. I have known Mr. Shelton for years and know that his pet slogan is "make good." So all his friends need have no fear but what he will measure up creditably to all the difficult problems of his new job. Eddie Leonard and Company smashed all records in New York artistically and financially by playing five consecutive months in R.E. Keith Bouses. He has a very high class act, which scored a tremendous hit everywhere they appeared. He is surrounded by a clever lot of man, well known in the profession. They are as follows, James A Sister, Leon Williams, Coley Grant, Bill Ball, West Jenkins, Will Grundy, William Taton, Frankie Lewis, Westly Jefferys, Walter Hodge. Their first engagement out of town this week is Keith Theatre, Boston. Green and Fugh are this week at the Pantages, Denver, Col. Tabor and Green are at the Palace, Milwaukee, Wis. "Old Time Darkies" are billed at Pantages, Winnipeg, Canada. Harrington and Mills are at the Orpheum, Champaign, Ill. Fred Rogers is at the Majestic, Dubuque, Iowa. Glenn and Jenkins are at the Wilson Avenue, Chicago. Bill Robinson is billed at the New Grand, Evansville, Ind. Simms and Warfield are splitting between Waterloo and Columbia, Davenport, Iowa. Minus and Bryant are at the Washington, Indianapolis, Ind. King and Gee are playing this week at the Lincoln, Harlem, New York. Word came to me by phone and telegraph of the artistic success achieved by Jesse A. Shipp's two-m-one musical comedy, produced in Washington, D.C. opening Monday evening, Jan. 6. I am not surprised in the least to learn of the great hit the show made, for the ability of Mr. Shipp as a playwright is unlimited. --- The change of the character of the amusement at the Lafayette is hailed with glowing anticipation, at least for awhile, with no reproach whatever for the stellar productions or the actors who have done such admirable work in them. But it must be admitted that variety puts not only spice in the proverbial life, but pep and ginger. We anticipate a rush on the box office of the Lafayette for the week of Jan. 13.

George Fail prove a worthy successor to Robinson at forward with "Fat" Jenkins. Harold Jenkins outjumped and seemed to be the sixth man on the team, so often was he loose under his basket. Wetzel sprang his annual "fmd" in one A. Storms, a husky novice who filled "Brad's" shoes most creditably. Music and dancing furnished the end of a perfect day from the point of view of the Red and Black enthusiasts. 8T. C. SECOND IN MARATHON. PHILADIPHIA, Pa.—The St. Christopher cross-country team at the annual New Year's day marathon of the N. Snellenburg & Co. Athletic Association finished a close second behind the famous Wanamakers Club. Out of a field of 110 entries, St. C. placed men in the following positions: Stokely, eighth; C. Mitchel, sixteenth; J. Goff, nineteenth; W. Jackson, twenty-second; George Williams, twenty-eighth; a grand team average of 78. Besides winning the second team prize, and individual prize, they also carried off a trophy donated to the first out-of-town team to finish. The out-of-town clubs included the Brooklyn A. A., Morningside A. C., Mohawk A. C., Paulist A. C. and Pastime A. A., clubs which ran such sterling warriors as Eddie Mayo, Max Bohland, Terry Halpine, Bob Spears and others, all marathoners of national reputation. Capt. Stokely, with a low handicap, ran a bang-up race and finished with a heart-breaking sprint, which quite outdistanced both Bohland and Hennigan, the two scratch men. Quaker fandom, who lined the streets twenty thousand strong, were treated to a feat seldom seen outside of the Metropolitan district; namely, that of witnessing five ebony athletes race home in the vah of the best marathoners in the East. Gradually the hope of seeing Negro athletes 'serious' contenders in all branches of A. A. U. competition is being realized. Manager-Watkins of the Havana Red Sox B. B.

C.-The local situation has become tense. Each team is fighting hard. The Alcoes lost a rough game to the Y. M. C. A. 34 to 33. The third over-time game of the season was marred by the many fouls and wrangling of the Alcoes. It cost them the game. The playing of Miles, Captain of Howard's team last year, the field goals of Carter and another shooting of fouls by Tibbs were the features of the game. T. Johnson and Morse killed their excellent shooting by their many fouls. The Y. M. C. A. outplayed, outpassed and outfought the Carlyles in their game Saturday. Final score 49 to 32. This game was ordered replayed by the Committee of Managers on a technical error. Kinnard and Tibbs scored 41 points between them. Tibbs and Miles will add great strength to the "Y" team. Taylor and Barber played well for the Carlyles. The incorporators toicted a game to the St. Augustine and the Alcoes by having to have a team on the floor when time was called, in each instance. The Naval Gun Factory team is oiling its guns for a sensational finish. The Big Y team has been strengthened and will give a better account of themselves next time. For a new team they do exceptionally well. The striking feature of all their work is their clean playing. Miles, Tubbs and Ford will add lots of strength to the team. A Sunday School Basketball League starts at the Y early next month. Plans for a swimming and life-saving contest are being rapidly worked out. It will take place next month. A Junior and Senior Bowling League will attract the young and old for the next six weeks. Entries are still being received. The Volley Ball Team goes to Plainfield, Indiana.

Seek n be MN eee As the result of an attempi to take a seat in the front ef a Spartanburt ‘mareet car in the seotion reserved for the use of white people only, a Negrc soldier, whose name and address are ucknown, was on Christmas afternoer forcibly ejected from a car on. the Giendale-Clifton line carat Ben Ayon tween this city and Glendale. | The incident occurred shout’ 5:20 o'clock Wednesday afternoon A Negro soldier boarded the car which was runing from Clifton to Spartanburg, at 2 station near Glendale and proceeded to take his seat in the front of the car. J. O. Hellams, the conductor of the car advised the Negrc of the law’ of this state which forbids 2 Negro to ride with white people ir public conveyances and ordered him to the rear. The Negro declared that he had a right to ride wherever he chose and that he would ride where he was Mr. Hellam ‘then removed him from the car. ‘The Negro, who is evidently from the North and unacquainted with Southern ideals and customs, furnished Spartan- burg with what is believed to be the first. instance of the atterapt of a col- ored person to assert for himself those righte sacred to white people. So far as is known he was the first Negro to strive to put into effect the idea of so- cial equality. . FOR COURAGE AND CAPACITY. ark Si. Wwauks Sateska War has sinister markings of its own, in all sufficiency. There is no room for the color line across "1s horrid. front. Such is the thought that suggests itsel! afresh, for there have been other events calling to mind the gallantry of our colored troops, to one who reade the news from Paris of 124 American Ne- gro soldiers being decorated by French aothorities. “For extraordinary heroism - under fire"—that is, aa translated, the line of commendation that goes with the medals ‘and war crosses conferred in this high- ly satisfactory instance, The . words sweep aside every consideration other than that of solgigrly merit. The man who dares and dées, he is the man for all this and all that. It is a matter of curious interest te note the wide geographical pourees of the regiments represented by the boys honored at Paris, These. bodies of -col- ored fighters came from Massachnectts and Ohio in the North, from Washing- tom, D. C,. from South Carolina, Mary- land and Fenmessee. The eourge and capacity of Negroes ‘mifitant from New York have won resegaitien afso on the Gelde of France. ARMY CAPTAIN MISUSED FUND.

She was brought to New York when she was six years old and grew up to young womanhood in this city. She was educated in the old Free School No. 2, which was taught by "Pop" Peterson, and where most of the colored youth of New York before and immediately after the Civil War received their schooling. When the Civil War broke out she went back with her mother to her birth place, Nassau, Bahama Islands. While in New York she had met James Johnson; he followed on to Nassau shortly afterwards and they were married there. At the close of the war they moved to Jacksonville, Fla., where their two sons were born. Jacksonville was the home of the Johnson family for fifty-three years; the father died there in 1912, and the mother lived there up to four months ago. Mrs. Johnson was one of the pioneer colored public school teachers in the South; she began teaching in Florida in 1869 and taught continuously for nearly thirty years; that is, up to the time that she was incapacitated by illness. This was the principal of the Stanton School, the largest public school in the state of Florida. Mrs. Johnson was well known by the colored New Yorkers of an older generation. She visited New York several times since her sons made their permanent home in this city. DR. SHEPARD AT MOTHER ZION. Dr. James E.

The choir rendered some musical numbers in keeping with the occasion. Dr. Shepard in speaking of the formation of an independent state in Africa said: "I hope the Allies of the World will do justice to all people; that they will not fail to remember the deeds of daring of the black men of Africa. For civilization must not forget that 300,000 black men did not forget that civilization at the first battle of Marne. I desire therefore to see a great Independent State in Africa, ruled over by black men, under the guidance and support of the more favored nations, until this Independent State gets on its feet, but I desire this state guarded over and directed by brains of black men, fostering the arts, sciences, literature and music. I desire to see it with a great fleet and a large army ready to land upon any shores, where people are oppressed and denied the right of growth. But this state should be prized for its own African Africans, for America is ours, by deeds of sacrifice, patriotism, love and labor and the American Negro intends to stay here. So I say truthfully and reverently, with all of its injustices and discriminations, this is our country, let us love her and appreciate her." WORK OF PENN. RED CAPS.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Kindly grant me the courtesy of space in your colums to refute some of the statements which are going around relative to the dinner to Assemblyman John Clifford Hawkins, at the Lybia, on the evening of Dec. 27, 1918. This dinner was contracted for by representatives of the Civic League for $3.35 per plate. Conveyance to custom, no guarantee was given. The Lybia served 310 plates for which the Civic League charged $2 each. As all who did not know, it is impossible for a caterer to prepare properly for guests, as the Lybia has always tried to do, using the management is given permission of the number who will be present at hour two days before the night of the dinner. As this change entailed the caterer was appointed by JF Garrard and the six arrived and paid for their dinner after the hunger was over, and therefore were not served, it is self-evident that the fault was not due to the Lybia management, but to those in charge of the dinner arrangements. I also beg have to call particular attention to the fact that the Lybia received $1.35 per plate, while the guests paid $2 each. I am sure I need not say that I am one of the wormest and most enthusiastic admirers of Assemblyman Hawkins, who represents my district, and one who worked for his election, and regarded it as one of the tragedies of my life that any criticism should be made of a dinner given to him in the Lybia. I am making this explanation in the interest of truth and justice, that the public may know that the Lybia is still what it has always been, a place where efficiency, service and satisfaction are guaranteed and given. It is also worthy of attention and of especial interest to remind the public that I served 210 dinners for which $2 per plate was charged, and for which I was paid for 174 dinners at $1.35 per plate. This tells the real story and fixes the real responsibility. I would not make this explanation if misrepresentations transcending the ordinary misrepresentations had not been made, inspired evidently by the proprietors of restaurants who cater to colored patrons. Confidently relying on the Lybia's long record of splendidly successful service for its vindication, we remain, BROOKLYN Mrs. Lilian Edwards, 514 McDonough street, has been sick with the influenza for three weeks, but is convalescent.
