PEACE FIVE CENTS THROUGH RAVAGED FRANCE TO GERMANY FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND MEMBERS FOR ADVANCEMENT Southern Governors Are Commended for Stand Taken Against Lynching As an increase of 34,418 new members and 85 new branches during the first year was the striking feature of the report of the secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, presented at the annual meeting last week. On January 1, 1918, the Association had 80 branches and 9,282 members. On January 1, 1919, the Association had 165 branches and 44,096 members, in 38 states, the Philippine Islands, the Isthmus of Panama and Canada. Mr. Shillady said that he dwell upon the increase in branches and membership not in any boasting spirit with a deepening and sobering sense of opportunity and responsibility. He said that the colored people of the nation had been stirred as never before by the appeals of a struggle to make the world safe for democracy; that they had responded to the appeals of the nation in high spirit of devotion as to have armed them the spontaneous tributes of the press and the people of America, that had colored men never before, their fame as soldiers and have been securely established by the captives of individuals like Needham Roberts and Henry Johnson and like the 369th (the old New York county), and the 367th, whose men had one and all received the French de guerre as a testimony in the delivery of both of these regi- Mr. Study appealed for an organ strong that no President, no North or South, no member of any party and no mayor will dare to commit any injustice against colored people with impunity.

The school children with their banners, added to the procession, which had a long line of floats and automobiles. The boats represented the Red Cross, Me- chanic and Farmers back, and the on the streets of Monroe, La., was referred to by Mr. Shillady. In fourteen cases, the report said, victims were taken from police officers and jails, as follows: Arkansas, 1; Alabama, 2; Georgia, 4; Louisiana, 2; Mississippi, 1; North Carolina, 1; Oklahoma, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1. The actions of Governor Bickett of North Carolina, Governor Manning of South Carolina, and Governor Henderson of Alabama were commended in that these governors took cognizance of lynchings and endeavored to have legal action taken to bring the guilty parties to trial. The attitude of Governor Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi was contrasted with these three public-spirited governors; Governor Bilbo having been quoted in a Jackson (Miss.) paper as saying that he would tell the Association "to go to —" when he was asked what answer he would make to a telegram sent him by the National Association. The report continues by saying that the Association intends to raise and expand approximately $10,000 on its anti-lynching work during the coming year. The Secretary mentioned also the Association work in regard to the warfare and defense of the colored soldier; its efforts to insure that the votes of colored soldiers at the camps would be counted in the recent election; its efforts in fighting discrimination against colored people in employment on government work; its successful effort to have the Tuberculosis Sanitarium of Wisconsin opened to colored people; its having secured the consent of the National Tuberculosis Association to make a survey of the provisions for the care of colored tuberculosis patients throughout the United States and of its cooperation with other organizations. Secretary Shillady concluded his report by saying that the minimum budget of the Association proposed, for 1919 is $50,000, $10,000 of which is to be used for the anti-lynching work. The Association will make strenuous efforts during the coming year to stamp out lynching, in which it asks the help of all patriotic Americans and of the press of the country. During the year the Association spent for its general work $23,422.68 and for anti-lynching work $3,283.23. PARTY GERMAN TRENCHES New York Age) R.

PHILADELPHIA, PA—The 93rd Division, made up of Negro troops, was the first National Army division overseas, according to Lieutenant Robert Fleming Beard, as quoted in the Evening Bulletin. The officer, a convalescent, is with his wife and four weeks' old daughter at his mother-in-law's home in Media. Lieutenant Beard says the Negro "doughboys" were highly praised by the French for bravery. The Lieutenant commanded a machine gun platoon in the 371st Infantry. The 372nd Infantry, he said, was cited by the French for gallantry in action. "When the history of the war is written," said the officer, who is recovering from a machine gun bullet which pierced a lung, the important part played by the Negro will be depicted fully. No officer knows what all the Negroes did. He is conversant only with those troops who performed in units with which he is conversant. "I saw thousands of Negroes in action with my division, and there were no braver men than the disky heroes of the 93rd Division. Because we were brigaded with the French and remained entirely with the French, little information has reached the United States about the valiant fighting of the Negroes. They just ate up the Germans." The lieutenant referred to a Sergeant Duncan, formerly an elevator operator in a department store here, who he said, took over the command of his platoon when the platoon sergeant was killed and the officer wounded. Duncan afterward won a French War Cross and 400 francs. Lieutenant Beard does not know the address of the sergeant. Duncan is believed to have lived near 19th and Carpenter streets, two years ago. "We had many Philadelphia Negroes in our division," narrated the lieutenant, and several of these men will come back wearing medals for bravery. We had one chap who was known an "Kid" Henry. He was quite a boxer and sparred frequently with the boxing partner of Georges Carpentier. Henry distinguished himself in action several times. Lieutenant Beard said the 93d Division, which apparently did not enter or merge from the battle zone with a subroutet, reached France the latter part of April. It was followed, he said, by the 77th Division, which trained at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. I. The division received Negro replacement troops from Camp Mende, Md. The lieutenant's recital of the movements of the division in France gives an inkling of the dependency of the United States, in the early stages of war, upon France, for equipment for the men "We took over no artillery troop," he said, and the French furnished us with an artillery brigade. We were satisfied by the French, and received all of our helmets, rifles, gun ammunition and some incidental equipment from the French." Advice has been received that Lieut. Henry P. Cheatham, Jr., of the 3d Battalion of the 370th United States Infantry (Old Eighth Illinois National Guard), a son of former Congressman Henry P. Cheatham of North Carolina, was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French government for distinguished service in action under the French General Rondeau, Commandant of Infanterie de la 59th Division, with which division the 370th Infantry has been brigaded. The following is a translation of an extract from Order of Citation No. 63, conferring this honor on the young officer: "His assistance to the chief of battalion has been most valuable, and he has rendered to the command the most valuable service by his courage, initia- Previous to the outbreak of the world war, Lieut. Cheatham served an enlistment with the 24th U. S. Infantry, in the Philippine Islands, holding the rank of battalion sergeant-major at the expiration of his enlistment. He enlisted in the old Fifteenth, New York (now 30th U. S. Infantry) just prior to the departure of that unit for France, and after several months of service was appointed to an officers' training school in France. On the successful completion of this course, he was commissioned and assigned to the 370th Infantry, with which regiment he served, under the French, in the hard fighting immediately preceding the signing of the armistice. Lieut. Cheatham is a resident of New York City, 28 years of age, and married. His wife, the daughter of Mrs. M. L. Hunter, of Canal Street, and his little son are now anxiously awaiting his return. NO DEFINITE WORD AS TO RETURN OF 92ND (Special to The New York Acq.) Washington, D. C.--It has been learned through inquiry at the Adjutant-General's Office that the 369th Infantry (formerly 15th New York) and other component parts of the 92nd Division were booked to sail from France on December 4. The order for their return was cancelled, however, by special request of Gen. Pershing, due doubtless to the complicated situation in Germany. No definite word can now be given as to when the 369th and the rest of the Division will return from overseas. SOLDIERLY BEARING OF COLORED OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MEN IN METZ Secretary Wm. Stevenson of the Y. M. C. A. writes to THE AGE of a trip made through the devastated region of Northern France on his way to visit the German city of Metz. His letter is dated at Dieulouard, France, Dec. 15, 1918. His description of the chaos of ruined villages is a striking commentary on the thoroughness of German destructiveness. A great contrast to these scenes of havoc and devastation is furnished in the narrative of the amicable attitude of the Germans still occupying Metz, and the way in which they entertained the travelers. The courtesies showered on them by the many colored army officers now in possession of the former German stronghold show how the Americans have made themselves at home. The letter follows: THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK IS SUPPORTING THE NEW YORK MUSEUM OF ART AND SCIENCE. HOW SOLDIERS MINGLED The above picture was sent to THE AGE by Miss Bella M. Farmer of Hillburn, N. Y. The photograph was taken in front of a French kitchen, "Somewhere in France," and shows two of the boys of the old Fifteenth Regiment, both from Hillburn. It is suggestive of the friendship that exists between our soldiers and the French. Miss Farmer writes: "Word has just been received that Sergeant William Van Dunk, beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Van Dunk, had been killed in action during the great offensive. Private Nathan Earl was wounded at the same time. Both of these boys were from Hillburn. To the right of the Frenchman is Sergeant Van Dunk (1) and standing next to him is Private Earl (2). We are very proud of these boys, even through their misfortune." I have seen Metz, the City of strong fortifications—Metz, the city the Germans fought so hard to keep. But I saw it not without difficulty. I made my way there partly on foot, by truck, passenger and freight train. The city is only about twenty miles from the place I am writing, but it took us about six hours to reach it. This was due in large part to congested traffic conditions. We stopped at a railroad station within a few miles of the city where all the signs and schedules were printed in German. A great crowd of residents were standing around the depot. The French soldiers who were traveling with us began to give them a part of their war bread, which they accepted eagerly. Taking note of what they had done and how grateful the people were, we followed suit and passed out to those who had failed to receive any, the biggest part of our bread. Just before we pulled out an express train going in the other direction stopped at the station. It was made up entirely of German cars and, like the station, all inscriptions were printed in German, which your humble servant could not read. Underneath all the windows of the train on which we were traveling, on an enamel slab, was a notice telling travelers to keep their heads out of the windows. This notice was printed in French, Spanish and English. Other slabs remained upon which forgeried was printed, in German, the same notice. However, the lettering on all of these had been scratched off. Evidently hint to the Germans that they might lose their heads if they liked. This proved to me, beyond a reasonable doubt, as the lawyers say, that we were traveling on a French train. On the way we passed through many ruined towns—towns that had suffered terribly at the hands of the enemy. In many instances nothing remained but the gaping, ghastly-looking walls of the homes of former citizens. Many of the depots had been smashed in and railroad tracks were torn and twisted by shell fire. Everywhere we saw great shell holes and the ground was strewn with the remnants of life-deatroying devices. Every now and then we came across a "dud," as the soldier calls a shell which failed to explode; but these are dangerous and the wise man niever touches one, even though he be a souvenir hunter. I am sure it is impossible for anyone to give a just description of the ruined villages of Northern France. I never think of them without a shudder. As far as the eye can see there is chaos. How well the people have stood this reign of terror for more than four years, how the little children and old men and women have suffered and what the brave soldiers of France have suffered during all this time is better understood when one sees what has been done by the hellish ingenuity of murderous minds. If these devastated villages could stand as they are and all the world allowed to see them surely every man would learn a lesson on the cost of war that could never be forgotten. Never again would there be any "futhish warfare," neither would a treaty be considered a "scrap of paper." As we approached Metz, through a net work of tracks, we observed that it was well lighted and that the various buildings in the railroad yard were all activity. The depot is a large, well-lighted, clean and up-to-date building. When our train arrived at Metz we "sneaked" through the gate of the depot for we had been told that no Americans were allowed there except those stationed in the city. However we suffered no embarrassment after we got into it, excepting the curiosity we caused as Americans. Immediately upon our arrival we took dinner at a hotel the attendants of which spoke German and a little French. The rooms were all filled. After eating we immediately sought a place to stay for the night. Such accommodations are very difficult to find now. However, we found a hotel with one vacant room and a single bed. We took it and went on a search for another. Unsuccessful, we returned and had decided to make the best of it, when the woman who conducted the place and whose husband is an officer in the German army, and now our duty in Germany, told us she could give us a room with two beds. We then sat down to a late lunch at a big round table, at which sat the German officer's wife, two German men, one of whom was a college student who had served in the German army and had been retired on account of disability. At midnight we were shown to our room. It did not take us long to discover that we were occupying the private chamber of the German officer and his wife, for in the wardrobe bung a female's wearing apparel and on the washstand stood the photograph of the German officer and his wife. We were the guests of our erstwhile enemy. The next morning we had breakfast with the family. They did everything in their power to please us and the children were particularly friendly. In the afternoon the German student, of whom I have spoken, escorted us through the city. He was very courteous and obliging and gave me his identification card for a souvenir. We had our photographs taken and heard a concert by a French military band which rendered selections before the Hotel de Ville (City Hall). As (Continued on Second Page) COMMITTEE SEATS OLD LINER FROM LOUISIANA CHICAGO, IL.—One of the most important decisions made by the Republican National Committee was in the contest between the two Louisiana factions to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Major Armond Romans. The committee settled the contest which has been pending since the last Republican national convention in 1916, by seating Emil Kuntz, the candidate of the Old Line Republicans, represented by Walter L. Cohen. F. C. Labit was the unsuccessful contestant. Both factions agreed to abide by the decision of the committee. Resolutions laudatory of Theodore Roosevelt were adopted as introduced by John T. King of Connecticut, and plans were made at the suggestion of Chairman Hays to erect a permanent monument to the Colonel by popular subscription. The Democratic national administration was denounced by committeemen for what was termed its tendency to Socialism and for placing control of the Government departments in the hands of the minority of the South, while the majority of the North paid 90 per cent of the taxes, as Gov. Beeckman, Rhode Island, stated it. Two women took part in the deliberations as holders of proxies and their assistance was sought in all the doings of the meeting. Mrs. Medill McCormick of Illinois, chairman of the Woman's Executive Committee, read a long report outlining plans for woman's organizations in every state and for the active participation of women in the national affairs of the country. The committee gave Chairman Hays a vote of confidence and authorized him to name an executive and other committees. (Continued from First Page) they struck up "it's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary" several hundred English soldiers who had been prisoners in Germany passed by. We visited the cathedral, which is a massive and very artistic structure. Besides the main altar there are many smaller ones, one of which was enclosed with gates which, we were told, was the one at which the Kaiser worshipped. We were shown a life-size figure in stone on one corner of the structure which the young student told us represented the Kaiser. It resembled his picture very much. However, we called the student's attention to the fact that the figure was without a mustache, but he replied that it was left off because angels and saints don't wear them. I suppose he was right, but of course I do not know. The placing of this statue on the corner of the cathedral would seem to indicate that the Kaisers' influence over the people was great: If one can judge the food situation in the whole of Germany by what he sees in Metz, surely the people were in no danger of starvation, for I saw plenty of meat, cakes, chocolate, mixed candy candy, and at one place, I saw apple pie. The last of which I haven't seen anywhere in France. It sold for about twenty five cents per cut. I also saw plenty of cigars and tobacco, both of which are very scarce in France. The stores seemed to be doing a good business and the windows of most were attractively dressed. We returned to our hotel, where we received several little souvenirs. All took our addresses, gave us theirs and asked us to write. We were escorted to the depot by the student, who shook our hands heartily and made us good-hearted. We boarded a train made up of German passengers and flat cars. They were literally packed and I was compelled to ride on one of the flat cars. We got off at a place known as Pont a Mousson, which, for many months, was one of the hinges of the line of battle, the bombardment of which drove the civil population to near-by towns. The city is all shot to pieces and would be as dead as a graveyard if it were not for the fact that thousands of our gallant colored officers and men are stationed there awaiting orders to move. The courtesy shown us by these officers and men was very fine. We had more drivers offered us than we could eat in a week. After hearing several pieces rendered at guard mount by two of our bands, I left on a truck for a place known as Crestau, where is located the 351st Meeting Gun Battalion of the 92d Division, which has the distinction of having seen service on three fronts within the last three or four months. This Battalion made our first move for home to day and, I am informed that other organizations of the 92d Division will, within a few days, make similar moves. The people at home can, therefore, get ready to receive these brave defenders of democracy. My visit to Metz was very instructive and the soldierly hearing of the colored officers and men extremely impressive. The colored officers have demonstrated to the world that they can lead their own men and the men respect them. I have seen many official citations for bravery of both officers and men. WELFARE LEAGUE NIWARK, N. J. - The Negro Welfare League has re-opened its office at 212 Bank street. Because William Adby the executive secretary, has been given indefinite leave of absence to do a special price of work in the Federal Bureau of Labor, Miss Josephine Pinyon of W. Washington, D. C. has been called to take charge of the league work. Miss Pinyon studied at Cornell University and took special work at Columbia and Chicago Universities. After teaching two years in the South, she became traveling student secretary for the Y. W. C. A. and for four years traveled from New York to Florida; from Georgia to Texas, visiting those schools in which the Y. W. C. A. was organized. In 1916 Miss Pinyon resigned to teach in the high school at Kansas City, Ks., but was called back within a year to become the first colored war secretary for the Y. W. C. A. For the past fifteen months she has been organizing preventive work among girls and women in cantonment cities, recruiting new workers and supervising the hostess houses erected for Negro soldiers.

(Special to The New York Am) DAYTUNA, Fla.-In spite of the inclement weather, crowds of tourists and a large number of the citizens and children of Daytona filled the spacious auditorium of the institute to participate in the services of the deferred Christmas celebration on Sunday, Jan. 6. This community meeting, always unique and interesting, was truly helpful and inspiring on this occasion. Mrs. Betbune, who is rapidly regaining her strength, conducted the meeting. The little community children delighted the vast audience with their sweet songs and their ecitations about the Christ child and the hearty community singing of Negro spirituals and sacred songs, led by the institute's surpicked choir of forty fresh clear voices, made a deep and bold impression. Large tables, beautifully decorated, groaned under the weight of the boxes of Christmas candy, the dolls, wagons, books and a large number of other gifts, provided by the friends and the teachers of the school. There was something for every one. We were reminded of these words from a well-known sacred song, "All who would might enter and no one was denied." The sparkling eyes and bright smiles of the children, the warm glow of appreciation on the faces of the older ones, the evidence of a spirit of enjoyment on the part of the visitors, amply repaid the efforts that had been put forth to make this a real community service of praise and thanksgiving to God, and a source of real joy to all present. On the platform were Mrs. Lyman Baird, chairman of academic work; Mrs. Harriet Ruger Longdon, chairman of advisory board; Dr. M. M. Kugler, presiding Elder T. A. Williams, the Rev. E. J. Jackson; Prof. W. H. A. Howard and others. When Mrs. Bethune introduced Mrs. Baird, who had for many years been interested in the work for colored people, through her connection with the American Missionary Association, the large audience rose and greeted her with an enthusiastic outburst of applause which showed their appreciation of her work for the race. Similarly was Major Howard greeted, for many recognized, in him a safe and sane race leader, an earnest patriot and mentor of Negro youth. Major Howard's address was fraught with information about the educational outlook of the race and sterling advice. One of the visitors remarked that from the speaker he had gained definite information that would lead to a better understanding of the condition of the race and a fuller appreciation of the efforts of the Negro for his own advancement. Hearty thanks are due to the kind friends who by their sympathy and their gifts made possible this glorious children's hour, which is more and more attracting large numbers of the children and citizens of the community. SCHOOL STARTED TO (Special to THE NEW YORK AM) Wilton, N. C. The trustees of the Wilson Normal and Industrial Institute are conducting a school in Wilson to show what value they place on Negro womanhood as well as to supply a thoroughly equipped school for Negro youth in Wilson County, which has been a long felt need. The institute was organized and began its first school year October 14, 1918. There are ten teachers including the principal. The enrollment up to and including January 7, 1918, are 414 pupils; in the primary department there are 357 pupils, while in the intermediate department there are 87 pupils. The expenses month which includes the incidental expenses is $500. One hundred dollars of this amount is raised from tuition; $250 is pledges and guaranteed by a number of colored citizens of Wilson. The sum of $150 per month for four months is to be raised by contributions from friends who are in sympathy with the Wilson people in the stand they are taking. Any one desiring to stand with the trustees in the position they have taken for the protection of our women is revered. We are made payable to N. 7. Take a farewell.

EDWARD EVERETT BROWN DEAD (Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEM) BOSTON, MASS.—Funeral services for Edward Everett Brown, a widely known lawyer and deputy collector of Boston, who died at his home, 16 Fountain street, Roxbury, took place Tuesday at 11 a.m. The burial will be at Pine Hill Cemetery, Dover, N. W., in which city he was born 59 years ago. He is survived by his widow and two sisters, Mrs. Nellie Brown Mitchell and Mra. Powhatan Bannall. Mr. Brown graduated from Dover High School. Soon after graduation he was appointed justice of the peace, and was the first colored man to hold that office in New Hampshire. He early became identified with the temperance movement and was a leading officer in the Good Templars in that State. For many years he was a member of the well-known law firm of Walker, Wolff & Brown. He was vice-president of the Colored National League and also the executive committee of the Massachusetts Equal Rights Association. He was a leading member of the Wendell Phillips Club, past master of Rising Sun Lodge of Masons, and a past noble grand of Boston Lodge of Odd Fellows. Mr. Brown was an eloquent and frequent speaker in Democratic campaigns. He formerly voted with the temperance party, but later joined the Democratic party. A STUDY OF TUSKEGEE GRADUATES.

Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of which the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was a trustee, attended the funeral services of Colonel Roosevelt, held here Wednesday, Jan. 8, in Christ Protestant Episcopal Church, and was one of the many sorrowing friends who journeyed to this quiet little town to pay his last tribute of respect to the memory of America's acknowledged "first citizen." Mr. Scott came as the official representative of Tuskegee Institute, being so designated by the Executive Council of the school and by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. He had previously sent to Mrs. Roosevelt a telegram of condolence, which has been widely published. Since the death of Booker T. Washington, Mr. Scott has generally been regarded as the most intimate personal friend of Colonel Roosevelt among the colored people of the land. It so happens that Mr. Scott was the only official representative of the race to witness the sad rites in honor of the former President at Oyster Bay. Notwithstanding the tremendous pressure for seats in Christ Church, which accommodates but a meagre three hundred and fifty, Mr. Scott was readily handed an autograph card, signed by Captain Archibald B. Roosevelt, admitting him to Christ Church and to Young's Memorial Ceme- RECONSTRUCTION AND EDUCATION By James Edgar Groge, D.D. Principal of Hymnage Institute. Fifty years ago, when Champion Institute and other schools for the colored people of the South were being founded with the help of interested and generous friends, many of them Northerners, but some of them—let us not forget—Southerners, it was a time of reconstruction, darkened, unhappy, by old hatreds, misunderstandings and jealousies left by the Civil War. No agency, it may fairly be said, has done more to remove, that ancient bitterness, to abolish ignorance, prejudice and enmity; to lay the foundation of inter-racial co-operation and good will; to promote the sense of responsibility and duty which, belongs with freedom, than the colored schools of the South. Their part, at least, in that former work of reconstruction was well done—not perfectly, of course, but, as a rule, honestly, concretely, diligently. The era which we are facing is again, a time of reconstruction. But it is an infinitely broader, deeper, greater reconstruction—nothing less than the rebuilding of the political, industrial, and social life of the whole world. This is not only a greater and therefore more difficult task; it is also one which we map hope will be carried but with far less bitterness, with a more cheerful and friendly willingness to let bywones be bygones, a more resolute determination to rise above the outworn pattiness, meanness and injustice of the past, and to seek the welfare of all for the sake of all, in full loyalty to the ideals of true democracy. Now, as before, the colored schools must do their share; and they can and will. Those of us who have any responsibility of leadership whatever must make sure that we keep a broad outlook; that we overestimate neither the intellectual nor the practical side of school training; that we do all in our power to develop the creative personality of the individual without losing sight of his social adjustment to surroundings; that we make all the education which we impart or help to impart truly "education for life." Only thus can our colored schools fulfill their duty to the Negro race, to the South, to the Nation, to the Kingdom of God.-National Note Book. PLANS FOR TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE.

BOOKER WASHINGTON OR KAHER WULHEM OK KAISER WILMILLE (Special to The New York Times) PHILADELPHIA, PA. Race Street Conference recently the question was raised by a visitor as to what constituted race inferiority. The leader of the class for the day, Henry Ferris, editor of the Friends Intelligencer, declared the point difficult to determine, with Booker Washington as an example of the so-called inferior race and Kaiser Wilhelm of a supposed superior race. In his talk Mr. Ferris asked, "Are we Christians enough to apply the solvent of love to the race problem?" "The Race Problem and Democracy" was the subject for discussion, and as leader he advocated love as the only solvent of the question. He declared the love shown to the whites by the Negro might well be emulated by the whites in their treatment. He cited the faith of the Negro to the trust repested in him by his master during the Civil War, as a sample, and urged that justice at least should be done. "We hate easily," he said; "will we continue to lynch and burn the Negro in this country? And for what? We began by robbing him, and then we punish him because he resents it." Among other speakers were Emma Speakman Webster, Clarkson Fogg, Mary H. Whitson and Joel Borton. ELIZABETH. N. I ELIZABETH, N. J.-William Frazer, who has been sick with the grip, is able to be out.

Chicago publication which has for its avowed purposes the widening of fellowship and the realization of the brotherhood of the spirit, diagnoses the ills of the present as follows: The Fatherhood of God, if we really believed it, would bid us all, white and yellow, black and brown, the conquerors and conquered, gather in one Federation of the world. Then would we all realize that in seeking the good of all we would find our highest good. A lack of belief in the Fatherhood of God really jigs at the bottom of the world's troubles to day. A universal scepticism or agnosticism, obscured by some hypocritical prudence of Christianity, is at the root of much of the injustice and disregard of the rights of the weak in all parts of the world. A spiritual revival is needed in the truest sense of that much abused expression. SOUTHERN GOVERNORS. A significant happening at the capital of Texas was the conference held by the Governor with a committee of colored business and professional men, who called upon him to recommend legislation for the suppression of lynching and mob violence in that State. Governor Hobby is reported as not only having accorded the delegation a cordial reception, but expressed sympathy with their efforts and promised to suggest to the legislature the consideration of the bill requested. While this may not appeal to promise much it is decidedly more than was promised by the executive of a sister State. When asked by a reporter what he would answer to the protest made by the Advancement Association against lynching, the Governor of Mississippi is reported to have replied, "I will tell them to go to —" Other Southern Governors who have taken cognizance of lynchings and sought to have legal action taken to punish the lynchers are Governor Bicklett of North Carolina, governor Manning of South Carolina and Governor Henderson of Alabama. May the number of State executives who favor law and order increase and their efforts receive the wholehearted support of a sufficient number of their constituents to make justice prevail above the mob. OFFENSIVE NICKNAMES. OFFENSIVE NICKNAMES. The United States Commissioner of Education is heading a movement for the elimination of derisive epithets as nicknames for foreign born Americans. Among the terms of derision on his blacklist are given "Dago, Wop, Ginny, Spagetti, Dutchy, Paddy, Sheeny, Kike, Mick and Froggy." If native Americans are also to be counted in, some omissions from this list will occur to the casual reader, including "Shine, Smoke and Nigger." Despite the well meant observation of Mr. Irvin Cobb that the last term will hereafter for him spell "American," there are a few million people who do not see it that way. Outside of those immediately affected by its application who think along these lines, may be noted so good a friend as Bishop W. P. Thirkield. Let the black list be amended so as to include "Nigger" and its substitutes. And let those to whom the term is most frequently applied set the good example by eschewing the use of it themselves. A remarkable editorial expression on this subject was printed by a white newspaper of Florida, the Jacksonville Metropolis, undor the comprehensive heading, "All Are Americans Now." The tenor of its argument may be gauged by the following prediction: We are going to come to a full realization of the fact that an American is an American regardless of race or religion. And we are going to treat him as men should treat men. A broad gauged sentiment that if accepted and lived up to by the whites of the South would do much to allay and finally eradicate race friction. MORE CAMOUFLAGE. A reader of THE AGE sends us the following clipping from the Hotston Post, with an inquiry as to the truth of the statement that the influenza has taken a heavy toll of the colored people in the North. The clipping reads: Steps being taken to return Mex- lican laborers from the North to cli- mates more suited to them remind that Southern Negroes who sought higher wages and better conditions in the North are now discovering that climate is more than money, and that Southern people treat them better and respect them more than do those among whom they have cast their lot in the closely popu- lated bottoms of the North. The influenza took heavy toll of them in their new homes. They had few friends to look after them. And those who are left look with longing eyes toward the land of ribbon cane and cotton. The government will arrange for the return to the South of Mexican laborers who were car- ried. North principally that they might work on government com- ments; but the Southern Negro who went North of his own free will must look out for himself. We can assure our reader without overstating the facts, that the influenza exacted no heavier toll of the colored race than of the whites. In fact, in some localities, it was reported that the former seemed to be less subject to the epidemic than the whites. Like any other epidemics, clean living and sanitary surroundings had more to do with the ability to withstand the disease than mere color of the skin. As to the remnant who, according to the Post, "look with longing eyes toward the land of cane and cotton," if we are to believe the reports of the Department of Labor, the 300,000 who migrated from the South have established themselves in Northern industries and are making good. The attempt of the Post to discourage further immigration North is the thinnest kind of camouflage, and not skillfully applied at that. The colored citizens of Pittsburg are assured of the appointment of a policewoman from their group by Mayor Babcock. The only question asked by the Mayor was as to whether the city council would provide for her salary in the budget. According to the Pittsburg Courier, this has been provided for and it now looks for the appointment of a woman competent to fill the position. Good for the people of Pittsburg. A bulletin from the division superintendent's office announces that colored passengers on the Texas & Pacific R.R. will be allowed access to dining cars "after all white passengers have been served." If this is a sample of the "adequate accommodation" which the Railroad Administration has been promising it leaves a good deal to the imagination. INFLUENCE OF THE AGE INFLUENCE OF THE AGE.

Several times before I have referred to the fact that the letters which come to me are often extremely interesting. These letters come from all over the United States and frequently from foreign countries. A good many people write to say that this or that article expresses their sentiments; some write to say that they disagree on this or that point; others write to give their own individual opinions. I frankly confess that I like all of these letters. I open my mail always with a feeling of expectancy; with much the same sort of pleasure that a child experiences in diving down into a Christmas stocking. I am sometimes disappointed, but I generally find something; it may be something foolish or amusing or sensible or wise, nevertheless always interesting. Last week I received a letter from a colored minister in New England. In this letter he outlines two plans for advancing the cause of the race. These two plans represent the two views of life which roughly divide the human race into people of two sorts, idealistic people and practical people. Both these plans coming from the same person at the same time brought the contrast so strikingly to my mind that I determined to put them up to Age readers with the query, "Which one should we try? Or should we try both?" Here is the letter: Dear Sir, In last week's Age in one of your leading editorials you ask, "What can be done?" Since then I have been carefully thinking over your query. On Wednesday morning a vision apparently came upon me and it seem that two solutions which have never been fully tested presented themselves to me: I...Interview every bishop and national leader of every sect and denomination and set in motion a purely democratic-religious propaganda. Let them call a National Fast and Prayer Day in every individual church and parish in the nation on a set day. I mean call every Colored American who believes in prayer to meet and pray and fast for twelve hours. Give ample time for the day to be universally known. In 1920 in the month of May, two of the largest Methodist denominations hold their General Conferences. Let both of them hold their sessions in Washington, D. C. Invite all other general church bodies to meet also in Washington at the same time, say for ten days. Then on the day set for prayer let all these national bodies and all the members at home meet in the churches throughout the nation at the same hour and pray for thirty minutes. Then let all march from their churches in a silent parade, bearing suitable banners with inscriptions from the words of patriotic statesmen. Let every citizen in Washington be in place in the silent parade and march to the Capitol and then down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. Let chosen men present our grievances to the Chief Magistrate and one end of the procession while other chosen men present them both to the Senate and the House of Representatives. While this procession is silently marching in the City of Washington, let similar processions be doing the same thing in every city, town and village in America. Such a demonstration throughout the nation in May, 1920 would do a world of good, I think. 2. Raise a ten cent fund from every individual or more if possible, employ three or more of the ablest white men and women of national reputation to speak as Phillips, and write as Garrison, and send them with a number of our own best throughout the nation making sentiment. Instead of petitioning presidents, set our grievance before the chairmen of the national political parties and their committees. There is virtue in both of these plauses. Of course, there are people who would pooh-pooh the first plan and put it down as a waste of time and effort, but to do that is a mistake. A much talked of theory to-day is that all questions of human welfare are governed by economic forces. We even have a small school of colored speakers and writers who have taken their first dip into socialism and think they have discovered something entirely new (well it is new to them) and who claim that all the ills from which the American Negro suffers are due directly to economic causes. It is true that these economic causes are so involved in our question that they cannot be separated from it, but they are not the whole question. There are such things as moral forces in the world, and when they are set in motion they can break down wrongful conditions which are sustained by economic forces. Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips and Elijah Lovejoy and Harriet Beecher Stowe and John Brown set in motion the moral forces in this country which brought about the abolition of slavery; in spite of the fact that the economic forces supported slavery not only in the South but in a great many parts of the North. New York city, the wealth center of the country, was decidedly pro-slavery for economic reasons; but even New York city had to capitulate. It would be idle to hope that if plan No. I was carried out that some miracle would result from it; that the walls of our Jericho would suddenly fall; but this much could be expected, it would awaken the nation out of its indifference about its colored citizens, it would startle it into a realization that these people were determined to get what rightfully belonged to them, and furthermore, it would give the colored people themselves a courage, a sense of united strength, a morale which they now lack and which it is necessary for them to have. The second plan suggested will appeal to all practical people. It is along this line that the continuous work that our situation calls for must be done. The plan as given by our correspondent could be improved and developed, but it contains the essentials of the line of attack that the Negro must follow if he would win. It would do very well to have one day of prayer and fasting and silent parades, but the constant effort that is put forth every day in the week and every week in the year is the only thing that will win. THE DANGER OF DEMANDING DEMOCRACY IN NORTH CAROLINA It seems that on Emancipation Day the colored citizens of Raleigh, N. C., held a celebration, and in the course of this celebration adopted a set of resolutions condemning the injustices which are practiced on the race. The Winston-Salem (N. C.) Journal is very much wrought up over these resolutions. It comes out in a long editorial article in which it speaks of the action taken by the colored citizens of Raleigh as "An Unfortunate Blunder." This North Carolina newspaper goes on to say: In their celebration of Emancipation Day the Negroes of Raleigh did a most dangerous thing. They committed the unfortunate blunder of adopting a set of resolutions condemning everything and commending Here is the letter: Yours sincerely. nothing. They denounced "Jim Crow" cases and pleaded for equality of the races in politics. They condemned lynching, but said never a word against the brutal crime that causes lynching, or against the criminals who commit it. Such an attitude is dangerous—for the Negroes. * * The better element of Negroes—the more sensible and patriotic Negroes—are not demanding such privileges. * * The whole tone of the Raleigh meeting was unfortunate and did the leaders of the black race of that city little credit. * * Not a word was said about the wonderful progress of the Negroes and the advantages that have been theirs. * * Wise leaders of the Negro race in North Carolina must look with no little alarm upon the action of the members of their race in this Raleigh meeting. We could quote at greater length, but the above is sufficient to give the sentiment of the entire article. We should like to ask each Southern editor who continues to mislead people into thinking that rape is the cause of lynching and that there would be no lynching if there were no rape, if he does not realize that in making such statements he is uttering the equivalent of a lie. The figures for 1918 show that fifty-eight Negroes were lynched, and in less than a fourth of the cases was there even a charge of assault or attempted assault; five of these victims were women, against whom no such charge could possibly lie. Negroes are lynched in the South for every crime and every imagined crime from murder down to being insolent to a white person. If the editor of the Winston-Salem Journal and the editors of other Southern newspapers do not know these facts, there is no excuse for their ignorance; as editors of newspapers it is their duty to know them. If they do know them, and still continue to publish their misleading statements, they are guilty of a worse offense than lying, they are guilty of defending and encouraging mob murder. We have said many times that in spite of the assertion so often made to the contrary nobody in the country is so ignorant about the Negro's state of mind as the Southern white people. We constantly hear the claim of the Southern whites that the problem should be left entirely to them because they are the only ones who thoroughly understand the Negro. Nothing is farther from the truth. The Southern white people know the Negro from the outside, but they know nothing of him from the inside. They know his manner of speech, his whims, his humor, his habits; but they know nothing about the agony of soul that the race goes through; nothing of its hopes and aspirations. The reason for this is that conditions make it next to impossible for the Southern white man to put himself in the sympathetic attitude or relationship that would enable him to know the Negro from the inside; and not only that, but these same conditions make it impossible for the Negro to put himself in the attitude or relationship to reveal his inner self to the Southern white man. A white New England school teacher in three years of experience in a colored school in the South can gain a deeper knowledge of the Negro than a Southern white woman could gain in a lifetime. It is out of this ignorance of what is going on in the Negro's mind and soul that the Winston-Salem Journal speaks when it says, "The better element of the Negroes—the more sensible and patriotic Negroes—are not demanding such privileges." What sort of Negroes does the W.S. Journal think is demanding the abolition of lynching, the democratic right to vote, and the right to equal accommodations of travel for equal money? The editor had better look around Raleigh and Winston-Salem and throughout North Carolina and find out. He will find they are the Negroes who own farms and homes, who educate their children, who bought Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps and subscribed to the Red Cross. If these do not constitute the "better element, the more sensible and patrotic" colored people of North Carolina, we should like to know who does Another bit of ignorance from the same source is the statement that "Wise leaders of the Negro race in North Carolina must look with no little alarm, etc." Living right in the midst of a progressive colored population, the editor of the Journal ought to know that the "wise leadership" among Negroes which looks with alarm on a demand for the common rights of democracy is past and dead. Such leaders have no more influence with the race to-day than they have in shaping the policy of the present Administration of the Government. We said several weeks ago in answering some similar statements made in another North Carolina newspaper that the Negro is under no legal or moral obligation to condemn rape when he demands that the lynching of Negroes be stopped. He demands only that Negro criminals be tried and executed by due process of law, if they be found guilty. He is not in the position of deploring or apologizing for crime; he is speaking for the enforcement of the law. But the worst feature of this article in the Winston-Salem Journal is not its misleading statements and its display of ignorance about the real Negro condition, but the threat against the action taken by the colored people of Raleigh: an action which they took in accordance with the most fundamental guarantee of democracy, the right to protest against wrongs and petition for their redress. Are Negroes in the South not only to be treated unjustly, but also denied the right to say that they are so treated? Let the editor of the Winston-Salem Journal open his eyes and look about and he will see that there is a new Negro on the scene: and he is a good deal newer now than he was before 1914. Then let him get this truth through his brain and heart: this question has got to be settled, and it has got to be settled with this new Negro, and it has got to be settled right. SUGGESTS MEMORIAL TO ROOSEVELT. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE. THE AGE being the oldest and leading newspaper of our people here in New York City, how would it do for you to start to solicit through your column a popular contribution from the colored people of Greater New York, a substantial sum to be turned over to the committee on the memorial to the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt, whose great friendship and service to our race you well know? The amount raised will go as a small mark of esteem and regard from the colored citizens of New York City. I noticed by the papers that this movement is getting on foot and I thought it would be most fitting that we as a race should in some way show our eagerness to get into this movement. I have tried to express the idea the best I could, so I leave the rest with you. BENJAMIN P. LADSON, Jamaica, N. Y. Note—It would be entirely fitting and proper for the admirers of Col. Roose- veit among the race to contribute toward the erection of the memorial proposed toward his memory and two projects have already been started for this purpose, the Roosevelt Memorial Association organized at Oyster Bay with William Loch, Jr., president, and the movement inaugurated by the Republican National Committee at Chicago. A suitable representative of the Negro race should be placed upon one or both of these committees and the race at large given an opportunity to join in the movement. In such case The Ace would be glad to receive any contributions for that purpose and transmit them to the proper officer.—Ed. The Ace. The National Taste. Redd—Ever fish for German carp?

McAdoo, Director General of the Railroads. Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: For many years the Negro people of certain sections of the country have been humiliated because of an institution commonly known as the Jim Crow Car system. The conditions under which we are forced to travel in these sections of the country are at times nauseating to strong men of us, and yet our women, though they may be ever to refined or cultured, or even trail and weak, are huddled in these usually too small, poorly ventilated and otherwise undesirable compartments. Surely this great government, with all of the power it has, surely this great government which gladly accepts the services of its Negro soldiers, can find some way to guarantee to those soldiers and American citizens generally, that a man who is good enough to fight and die for his country, a race that is, and has always been 100 per cent American, is too good a soldier, too good a race to be unnecessarily humiliated in this way. But if such a thing should be that with all the power you possess you do not have the power to eliminate the Jim Crow cars now, we respectfully request you to endeavor to secure that power in order that our sons and brothers who are fighting over there and those of us here doing our bit must all realize that while we carry democracy to European lands we also practice democracy here at home.

The public school is a public institution, created most largely by Negro legislators in the seventies for the benefit of all the people. The Negro made no effort to exclude the white man, but provided a common school education for the children of all the people, but the white man coming into its possession has made the burden of his effort the exclusion of the Negro from equal facilities and participation in the public school funds-Atlanta Independent.

THOMAS, Prox. 253 West 53rd St. New York THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS RACIAL CONTRASTS IN SOME NEW PLAYS Racial incongruities and incompatibilities are made to serve as the themes for some of the more recent plays tried out on the New York stage this season. In one of them is presented the ancient clash of Jew with Gentile in a modern setting. In another the chief character is represented as a Chinese slave girl placed in a Western atmosphere. The first play, "The Gentile Wife," depicts in its title role the young Christian studying to be an opera singer who, with no realization of the fact, married into a Jewish family. The second generation was, of course, touched by the liberal ideas of life in this country. The older was, although rich, still bound by its traditions. Out of the struggle between these conflicting elements - Miss Weilman built her play. Its three acts pass in a fashionable hotel in this city and in a home on Long Island. The characters that people these scenes are Jews and Christians. The scenes are rich and in their sound feeling, common sense and qualities of heart were so far superior to the Christians as to win the sympathy of the audience from the outset, according to one critic. So far as their manners were concerned, they seemed no more vulgar than the school represented by Miss Stevens, who, as the bride of the young Jew, snubbed his family on the general ground that she did not like families when the women first called on her later in life. A former owner of their Long Island drawing room while the rest of the family entertained company. In spite of its wealth the Jewish family was not able to "stand for" Miss Stevens' desollectage, which was of the usual low visibility. She called her husband by his racial name when he repeated the family remonstrance and he went to his laboratory to work all night on his profession as a biologist. The action of the second act progressed so far that a Gentile scientist was embracing the Gentile wife after a meeting of a few minutes. But he had discovered that she read Verlaine and had an artistic temperament which she interpreted as the faculty of causing infinite pain. The furniture of this room was adroitly arranged to suit the purposes of this historical scientist, accompanied with twinkling alar lightings, sacred figures and a pulpit "fourteenth century Italian," one expert called it—and into this pulpit the man of science persuaded the Gentile wife to enter. Then he pretended to say his prayers to her while she posed his head. In climbing the ladder she warned her admirer that she might fall. Judging by the tableau at the close of the act, her fears had been justified. --- The other play, "East is West," relates the history of a Chinese girl who is sold by her father, at some place on the Yang-tse, to a Chinese merchant from San Francisco. The merchant has only a fatherly feeling for the girl and buys her at the instigation of a young American friend, who wants her saved from a ferocious Chinese bidder. In the next act we find the girl in San Francisco living as a daughter in the house of the merchant. Unfortunately she causes him to become the butt of scandal because she leans out of the window to wink at passerby. Accordingly, the merchant promises to give her to a Chinese friend whose morals are not as scruppulous as his own. This character, Charlie Young, is the most striking in the play. He is a Chinese who affects occidental manner, but remains a brilliant yellow in his wicked heart. Sweet little Ming Toy refuses to go to his harem and when her young American friend suddenly returns from the Yang-tse they effect an escape to his home, where she becomes his sister's maid. As the blase play reviewer puts it, "after that it is the old, old story. Love knows neither race nor creed." Charlie Young seeks out the girl in her new abode, but she and her lover-defy him. The young man's father waxes furious at his son's unwise passion and refuses consent to his marriage in an eloquent speech on the self-determination of alien races. Charlie Young comes a second time and at night. He lets his pigtail down and brings four tong men. They waylay the girl. One of the Chinese is ordered to shoot her, but presto, the hero turns on the lights and the duly nominated and elected murderer refuses to qualify for his office. The girl is his daughter! Pressed for an explanation of his peculiar, fatherly scruples, he explains that the girl is not a Chinese at all. In babyhood he stole her from a missionary. That made everything easy for the conventional happy ending. MUSICAL COMEDY MAKES MUSICAL COMEDY MAKES HIT AT THE LAFAYETTE. If you haven't seen "The Lime Kiln Club" and "Seeing Chinatown", the sparkling musical comedy offerings which are being presented by the Lafayette Players at the Lafayette all this week, you are meeting one of the greatest offerings. The theater will still some good seats left for the remaining performances and it is well to secure them early. The offerings are bubbling over with tinkling times, snappy dances and wonderful novelties. All the favorites appear in splendid singing roles while the chorus is better than any seen in Broadway's two dollar attractions. Miss Abbie Mitchell is scoring the biggest hit of her career and her numbers, "Lady Nicotine," "An Oriental Dream" and "The Gay White Way" are splendid. Miss Mitchell wears many beautiful gowns throughout the offering, "Babe" Townsend is also scoring a hit with his characterization of "the dope." Sidney Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman are exceptionally good and their numbers are very well received. Alice Gorgas, Will A. Cooke, A. B. Comathiere, J. Francis Morse, Thomas Mosley, Julian Keith and J. W. Coleman are a riot of fun and are obliged to respond to many encores. Susie Sutton's "Minnie, Shimme for Me" is one of the biggest hits on the program. "The Ninety and Nine," a melodrama of intense heart interest which teems with thrills, pathos and laughter will be the offering of the popular Lafayette Players all next week, starting Monday afternoon. In securing this play, the management has indeed made a ten strike and its presentation here will prove a sensational success. It was only after several weeks' dickering with the author, Ramsey Morris, that the play was secured, and then only after a high water mark royalty figure offered, for within a few weeks the play will again offer the theatregoers in other big cities throughout the country at two-dollar prices. That "The Ninety and Nine" will be an artistic success is certain. Every character in the play is exceptionally good and the players, including Andrew Bishop, Cleo Desmond, Carlotta Freeman, Clarence E. Muse, Charles Moore, Lillian Gillam, Arthur Simmons, Arthur T. Ray and Lionel Monagas, are sure to carry off high honors. Besides the favorites, there will be several new faces in the cast, all of whom are very clever artists. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS.

PAUL. "The Smarter Set," the leading colored theatrical organization of the country, is booked to appear at the Metropolitan Opera House, St. Paul, beginning Jan. 12, for one week. Salem Tutt Whitney, the leading star, is a member of Gopher Lodge, 105, Elks, of city THE NEW YORK APRIL, JANUARY 12, 1843 Savannah, Ga.—The folk song festival given at the Municipal Auditorium on Monday night, Jan. 6, under the auspices of the Junior High School Parent-Teachers' Association, with Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, director, brought out the largest concert audience in the history of Savannah. Jane Judge wrote the following comment on the performance, which appeared in the Savannah Morning News: Negro folk music, with its haunting minors, its strange, rolling metodies, echoing and re-echoing each other, its harmonies that no white voice can compass and that express something deeply poignant, was heard last night at a folk festival at the auditorium sung as it has never been sung here before. For to the natural instinct of the Negro for song and to the traditional interpretation of the old spirituals which those who have been nurtured in them possess, was added the touch of art. Azalia Hackley of Chicago, who trained and directed the large chorus of 250 voices, men, women and chili-ness used her musical agonis and trained ability to dignify this interpretation, not changing its character in any way, but making it more beautiful and ideally nearer, one might believe, to the emotions these old songs express and to the religious spirit from which they sprang. an admirable musician herself, the chorus uncer her hands sang with a purity of tone, a precision and control, that did not lessen; the fervor and abandon which gave color to these Negro spirituals. Their marvelous range, the antiphonal characteristic which marks so many of them, the amazing harmonies that give them a thrilling quality, were as striking and as stirring as when they are sung by untutured voices, but the voices of these singers had been trained by a skillful teacher so that the traditional music of their race might be reinterpreted and brought forth in new beauty. Her accompaniments, exquisitely harmonized, were themselves a revelation. Usually the old spirituals are spoiled by any attempt to accompany them on the piano, the accompaniment making the voices, with their unusual scale, sound off the key, but this was not so last night with those numbers that Azalia Hackley accompanied, for she was able to make her music sound a part of the singing, with its unusual intervals, its minors, its weird harmonies. One of her most striking and most beautiful accompaniments was played to the singing of "Little David" by Mae Steward, music and voice alike reproducing the sound of the harp in a marvelous way. It was a remarkable piece of imitative singing, quite exquisitely done with its delicate pianissimo and musical cadences. There were several other solos on the program that were good, a very amusing one being the singing by P. D. Davis of Will Marion Cook's "Exhortation," which he gave with considerable dramatic power. A wholly delightful number, very characteristic of the traditional Negro music, was the "Antebellum Sermon" given in recitative by H. T. Frasier, to the accompaniment of "When Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho," the entire group singing the chorus with great spirit. The words of the "Antebellum Sermon" were written by Paul Laurence Dunbar, and were very well adapted to the stirring, rolling chorus to which they were set. There were several special features on the program, such as the chorus of teachers from the public schools, the folk game by little children, "O, Miss Julia, Run Around," songs by boys and girls of the Cuyler Street School, violin solos by W. S. Peyton, and some modern songs by Negro composers, sung as well. The traditional songs, "It's Me" and "O Mary," sung by deluxe voices, were delightful because they repeated the characteristic quality of the folk music which gave the program its distinction. They were extremely well sung. Nothing, however, on the program, entertaining, interesting, amusing, on delightful for any other reason, could equal the beauty of the real old spirituals which made up the greater part of it, such as "I Know the Lord's Laid His Hands on Me," "Sinner, You'd Better Pray," "Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler," "Steal Away to Jesus," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "Poor Mourner," "Roll Jordan, Rock," "Every Time I Feel the Spirit," "Walk in Jerusalem," and others. Most beautiful of these was "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," which, familiar as it is, was sung for the first time here in a festival of this character. The swelling volume of the chorus, following the searching cadences of the solo, was most musical and seemed to gather up all the emotions that the other songs in their various ways expressed. Several of the folk songs were new to a Savannah audience, but they had the unmistakable quality that gives to the music of the Negro race its distinguishing marks. The concluding number, "There's a Meeting Goin', on Tonight," was well chosen because it had a certain rolling quality in it that is rare in Negro folk songs and was a good note to end upon. Azalia Hackley, who conducted the program and under whose direction the concert has been prepared, is the head of a studio in Chicago where young men and women of her race may obtain a musical education and the preservation of Negro music is part of her work. Even in the modern music she introduced last, she used only the works of Negro composers, such as Coleride- Taylor, H. T. Burleigh, J. W. Johnson, W. J. Nickerson and R. N. Dett. One of her own compositions, "Carols," was also sung. Particularly interesting was the prize anthem by R. N. Dett, written around a characteristic Negro theme and using the Negroid scale. It was excellently sung and was an effective and beautiful composition, well interpreted. The Parent-Teacher Association of the Culver Street Junior High School had charge of the entertainment, part of the proceeds of which will be used for the kindergarten in the school. The audience was a very large one, the auditorium being practically filled. A section of the orchestra, together with some boxes on the same side, was reserved for white people and many were present. ST. CHRISTOPHER. DEFEATS SPARTANS. Last Friday night at Manhattan Casino, St. Christopher Red and Black Machine rode over its most formidable opponent for the basketball title by defeating the Spartans in one of the hardest games ever witnessed here. Every moment of the forty minutes of play was full of hard fast playing. The Spartan boys, although losing, offered a strong resistance. The first ten minutes furnished about as fast a game as the most rabid fan could wish for. "Fat" Jenkins and "Georgeic" Fiall set a pace that nearly broke Spartan's heart. Two shots, however, on intercepted passes and a foul, after about six minutes of play gave Spartan a score of five to one, which St. C. had counted on a foul. On off a ball near St. C's basket Harold Jenkins jumped it in making the count 5 and 3. George Capera brought shot of four Spartans sending their lead to four points. Bradford counted a field goal and just before the whistle "Fat" Jenkins, evened the score with a basket—ending the first half—with the score, Spartan 7, and St. Christopher 7. In the first minute of the second half Bradford counted a foul and St. C gained a lead, which though threatened was never lost. "Georgie" Fialled added a basket for St. C and Hobey Johnson gave Spartans a basket. Fialled added a foul to the Machine's credit and H. Jenkins and Fat Jenkins each added a basket. Dash went in for Wallace for Spartans and he and Slocum brought a pair of quick baskets. On a play direct from center, Fat Jenkins shot a basket and Hobey Johnson added a foul. St. C were adding two fouls while Slocum was gathering a field goal, and the count with a half minute to go was St. C. 19, Spartans 16. In the last second, Fialled a long shot and with the ball high in the air, the timekeeper's whistle sounded the end of play, but not of point getting, for the ball sizzled right through the ring and net making the final score St. Christopher 21, Spartan 16. For the Spartans Hobey Johnson at center with Wallace and Slocum at forward played an excellent game; McDonald at guard played a steady game; George Capers at the other guard, played a very rough game. In the second half Wallace and McDonald retired in favor of Dash and Gumbs. For the Machine five men played well, the only men Coach Wetzler used, Harold Jenkins at center, "Fat" Jenkins and George Fiall at forward with Bradford and John Capers at guard. The game was satisfactorily refereed by Mr. Deering, coach of the College of the City of New York, and Mr. Wendenklin, physical instructor of Savage's Institute. St. Christopher has entered its team in the 145 pound class for the basketball championship tournament that is being staged by the Metropolitan Association of the Amateur Athletic Union. The first St. Christopher game will be in the St. Philipi's Parish House on Monday evening, Jan. 20 when the Red Sox face the St. Crescentes. Ten teams will be entered: Arnold, Mohawk, Salem-Crescentes, Bronx Church House, Union Settlement, Rutgers Gymnasium, St. George, National Turn Verein of Newark, Titan A. C. of Orange and St. Christopher. BASKET BALL IN WASHINGTON The Basketball League is running merrily along. The Carlyles need only three more games to clinch first place. The Alcoys, Incorporators, Armstrong and the Y. M. C. A. can finish first, but it is very improbable. The Navy Gun Factory, Grey Jackets and St. Augustines are hopelessly out of the race, although they can still upset the teams trying to finish in first division. The volley ball team lost four straight games to the champions of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia team is in a class by itself. Following the game a reception was given in honor of the visitors. The Washington team was Wm. J. Paulhner, R. DeFrantz, H. K. Craft, U. W. Hall, B. Washington, G. C. Adams and J. P. Parker. The Junior basketball teams are displaying lots of "pee" and the little fellows deserve lots of credit for the fastness and cleanness of their game. The Goblins continue to lead the race, with the Silent Knights, Brownies and the Mysteries trying to pull them down. INTERNATIONAL BASEBALL. In a letter from Belfast, Ralph W Tyler tells how the great American game was introduced on the other side, in a match game between American and Canadian soldiers. An interesting thing about the game, which drew an immense crowd, was that a colored American, Lewis A. Mitchell, the celebrated trap drummer and "noise artist," saved the American nine from defeat. The Belfast-Issuing Telegraph's sporting editor, described the game by innings. In recording the seventh innings, in which the American pitcher, Stanley, got injured, at which time the score stood 4 to 3 in favor of the Canadians, he wrote as follows: "Seventh Inning--Canada was not long in before Stanley got a lightning return, and the ball split one of his fingers. Dr. J. W. Ritchie (Crumlin road), who was one of the spectators, kindly came down at the call of the megaphone man, and Stanley went with him to the pavilion for treatment. Mr. Spades then came in. 'The Seven Spades' took the injured pitcher's place in the diamond. When the inning closed the score was still; Canada, 4; America, 3. "In the eight inning Mitchell early showed ability as a batman, his first ball—a 'skier—nearly braining one of the unoffending pressmen." Despite the fact that Mitchell had had no practice, being called in as an emergency pitcher, and still wearing his street clothes, he held the Canadians down to one run for the three innings he pitched, while the Americans, in the meantime adding two to their score, caused the game to end a tie—5 to 5. MRS. TAPLEY'S RECITALS. On the evening of Jan. 23, at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church in 136th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues, there will be inaugurated the second series of Educational Recitals under the exclusive management of Mrs. Daisy Tapley.

Greensboro (N. G.) Daily News. As Kidling would say: "Last we forget, at least some of us, permit me through you, to hear the utterance of its readers to two instances many laudable patriotic acts of heroism which members of the Negro race in the country have displayed during the very recent crucial ordeal. The first instance is where the Augusta, Ga. Chronicle cites, when it publishes a letter from one Capt. W. R. Riley of Laurens, S. C. in which he tells in detail of the capture of the famous Argonne forest and the part the Notta and the Notta Forest commanded placed captain Richie commanded a company in the 371st regiment, and was a member of the South Carolina general assembly, when he entered the service. This company is composed mostly of the Carolina Negroes. As the letter is rather long, I quote only a few paragraphs from it. On the afternoon of September 26 we received orders to move forward. We sent that night in a French communicating trench. I say slept, but really there was no sleep, as it was raining, and the men from the guns would not come to sleep. The French had gone over the top and were pursuing the Huns. On Sunday morning my company went over the hill. We arrived at the position the attack was to start from at 7.30 after having a deadly artillery barrage on us over the hill. Oddly Simone mirrored we were ordered to advance up the valley, but in the middle an enemy plane flew down below, discovered our position and signalled its artillery, which opened on us, and each minute seemed to be the last one. However, by rifle fire we brought the plane down, killing the pilot and crew. I long before we reached the village we will see the cowards running up a steep hill beyond, leaving lots of machine guns to stick out, and, believe me, when we reached our objective and rounded up the machine gunners the Negroes made quick work of them. The Hess held up their hands, but no kamera for the men; they killed them unboundedly and I did not try to stop them. In all, during the two days, Sunday and Monday, our battalion advanced single units without the aid of a single friendly artillery shot or any other help. We killed lots of Germans, captured lots of them and captured any quantity of material and the six big guns. "I am proud of all my officers and of all my men." The whole regiment fought like veterans and with a fierce equal to any white regiment. This was the first time any of them had been under armed shell and machine gun fire and they stood it like moss-covered old timers. They never financed or showed any gain. They were to tell them to go and they went. Lots were killed and wounded, but they will go down in history as brave soldiers." The second instance is that, when the senate committee was investigating German propaganda in the United States last week, Special Detective Ikeaki stated what he knew regarding the efforts of the German government to influence the Negroes in the United States and especially in the South. Said he, "Efforts of the Germans to create pro-German feeling among the Negroes of the South proved entirely unsuccessful. Stories were circulated there to the effect that the Negroes were descendants of the Indians and that they were careful owners of the land instead of the white people. Another story depicted to create feeling against the Negroes was a perverted account of the African the South during the Civil War. Negroes didn't take to these cases however, as they were too loyal. Men spent in the South for propaganda was thrown away." Mr reason for mentioning the above amendable acts is in the hope as well as other similar deeds last by the colored race in this during the late unusual crisis, peal to and influence our fair- white friends in their relation- with and in their treatment of their wear in black, "not only in the pres- also in the years to come.

Responding to Major Pullman's order that the anti-spitting regulation be strictly enforced, Mrs. King, who directs traffic at 7th and K streets, nurses "flu" patients and performs numerous emergency police duties, made the first arrest. Mrs. King was not in uniform and there was nothing about her to suggest that she was doing detective work Arthur William Nelson of Tazkoma Park, Md., with an office in the Munsey Building, was surprised when she greeted him with the unpleasant information that he was under arrest. It required but a short explanation for Mrs. King to induce him to believe that she was a real policewoman and that it was necessary for him to observe certain formalities, the chief one being to go to the first precinct police station and deposit five dollars collateral. The station record shows the money deposited. Others members of Maj. Pullman's force took similar action Sunday and a number of persons who were arrested deposited collateral to prevent being held in custody for trial in Police Court Monday. Sealy B. Keizer told a jury in the lunacy court, that he came to Washington from Norfolk, Va., December last, under command from God to bring the tidings to the United States Government that President Wilson was to be the supreme ruler of all the nations.

The address of the evening was delivered by Attorney Mountain, who asked, "To understand each other, to understand each other, to exchange ideas and opinions and engage in free discussion—in this way the Community's needs are brought forward and the Community's demands are backed by a force that will compel attention." "The general principles underlying community centers are not new; they were recognized and practiced ni the early history of this country. It was the meetings of citizens in the New England town halls, where the Spirit of Liberty was born and where independence was inspired and fanned to a flame. Solomon has wisely said 'there is no new thing under the sun.' These centers are mere modifications of the town hall meetings to meet Twentieth century condition." Attorney Harry L. Tignor of the Local Bar, is visiting in New York City.

Find enclosed money order for my subscription to -Tina -New York -Acq. I approve your editorial of Dec. 21, under the heading "A Waste of Effort" also the other subjects. I wish The Acq could come more often. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE. Through the kindness of my sister, Mrs. A. D. Borden, of Yonkers, I often get hold of a copy⁴ of THE ACE. It has become a most welcome visitor to our home and even among our friends. I regard THE ACE as the most interesting, wide-awake publication of the race. The strong philosophic editorials of the contributing editor, the splendid illustrations of persons active in various fields of endeavor, together with other contributions. From the personal writers capable of facts on momentous subjects in intelligent form, make THE ACE at once and without question so valuable as a contribution to current literature that it should find its way in every colored American's home from ocean to ocean. In this stirring age of social contentions, political dissatisfactions, military upheavals, claims and counter claims of governments, kingdoms and empires, a large faction of the American pink-skinned race using every mischievous and tricky plan to be devised to humble, segregate and retard the dark-skinned race make papers like THE ACE indispensable to progress. Since vibration is the source of life, emotion the source of vibration, inspiration the source of emotion, anything else the source of emotion, to thought, out of which all human progress is born. You have my most sincere wishes for successful achievements commensurate with the inspired purpose of your lofty mission. Yours for the cause of human progress. W. O. SMVER. ALL ARE AMERICANS NOW. Jacksonville (PIA.) Metropolis. Americans are going to do many things differently from now on. We are going to come to a full realization of the fact that an American is an American regardless of race or religion. And we are going to treat him as man should treat man. The deciding factor in persuading native-born Americans to this opinion came in the loftier manner with which our foreign-born citizens and our Negro citizens helped us win the war. They did help—on farms, in mines, factories, mills, shipyards, as well as in navy and army uniforms. Some of us (thoughtlessly, possibly) were given to calling these men of foreign birth and of other colors, by nicknames. Those who did this knew they were hurting the self-importance of such nicknames as "Wop," "Dago," "Nigger," and numerous others were on the tip of many an American tongue, and every such nickname carried its sting to the very soul of the man thus misnamed. Now, however, the United States Bureau of Education launches a campaign among school children of the nation against this nickname evil. Our young people are asked to pledge themselves not to call a Negro "nigger," nor a Mexican a "greaser," nor any foreignborn among us by any nickname offensive to him—and nearly every nickname is offensive to the person at whom it is thrown. "All Boy Scouts are asked to eliminate from their talk all these nicknames. Many Boy Scouts' camps already have given their word that they will do this. Hopes are entertained that when the time comes when all our boys and girls have discontinued this bad habit, growups will place closer hand and arm to the nickname, and then no one will be a "nigger," a "wop," a "greaser" or a "quinney." They'll all he men and women, standing on an equal footing in this respect at least, he they ditch diggers, scrubwomen, bankers or wiser of millions. Honestly, we grown-ups would better blue-pencil some of our nickname stuff ourselves before our sons, and daughters do it for us! NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. New Brunswick, N.

The Jim Crow car is everywhere. It is sometimes half of a baggage car, the door of which the baggageman keeps open purposefully. The sight and stench of corpses in transit must be endured by the colored passenger, no matter how he may be affected by these conditions. Sometimes it is half of an express car, from one end of which pigs and goats and dogs and Shelted ponies are exhibited with all the nauseating odor that such animals carry. In many cases men smoke in the faces of women if they smoke at all, and women are forced to occupy the same toilet used by men. Our people are denied sleeping car accommodations.—Nashville (Tenn.)
