OLD 15TH EXPECTED HOME BY MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY FOR FACTS FROM THE AGE SPECIAL BEST EDITED—STORY BOOK The New York Age SECOND EDITION THE NEWS AS IT IS PLAN PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS IN FEBRUARY; NEW YORK AND ILLINOIS FIGHTERS ARE CITED Many Race Representatives From U.S.A. Expected to the Pan-African Congress PARIS, FRANCE.—Plans for the holding of a Pan-African Congress here some time in February, to be participated in by Negroes from America, England, France, Africa and other countries, are now in process of formulation. It is understood that several Negro French deputies are among those to look with hearty favor on the idea. Realizing that in the United States there are more groups and leaders than colors in Joseph's coat, those directly interested in the proposed Congress are hopeful that as many race representatives as possible come from America to take an active part in the proceedings. The Pan-African Congress will have no official connection whatsoever with the Peace Congress. The objects and aims of the congress have been set forth by Dr. W. K. B. Du Bois, one of the prime movers, as follows: The making of strong representations to the Peace Congress sitting in Paris in behalf of both voice, in and protection for 500,000 Negroes and Negroids in the League of Nations. The laying down of principles upon which the future development of the Negro race must take place. The obtaining of authoritative statements of policy toward the Negroes throughout the world. representing was so palpably pathetic. From across the waters it is learned that some race leaders are frothing at the mouth and saying foolish things because, in their opinion, the race is not properly "represented" at the Peace Conference. Judging from their conduct they would be the "proper" persons to sit with the leading diplomats of the world where the display of tact and self-control are so necessary. As to their expert knowledge on vital issues under consideration, such a question will not be raised at this time. When the steamer Orizaba sailed for France carrying the vanguard of President Wilson's Peace Party, three colored Americans went on specific missions. Dr. R. R. Motton represented the President and Secretary of War; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois represented the Crisis and the Advancement Society; Lester A. Walton represented the New York Acct, his trip being made chiefly to secure information about colored troops The Pan-African Congress, if held, have direct bearing on the governments of Abyssinia, Liberia, Haiti, French, English, Spanish, Italian, Belgium, Dutch and former German Colonies and descendants of Negroes inhabiting North and South America and islands of the sea. Delicates from the United States will represent twelve million Negroes on a cost of 250,000,000. Making Themselves Ridiculous. It has come to the notice of THE Aur correspondent that some colored Americans are containing the Peace Conference with the proposed Pan-African Congress, and that in some instances ministers of the gospel are missing their pupils to inflame well-wishing members of the race over racial greediness. One would think were being elected to a General Conference of National Convention, trades would assume quite a suspect were it not that the attitudethose bent on vilifying and mis- FRED R. MOORE AND EX-GOVERNOR COLE BLEASE CONFER SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK ACE) STREVILLI, S.C.—Fred R. Moore, and publisher of THE ACE and THE BLEE, known to many as New York later, conferred for an work on the race issue. The nation was carried on in a dis- passionate manner. Mr. Moore, who is touring the State in the interest of the race's most influential newspaper, has had many talks with white people on southern conditions. In many instances they have expressed a desire to improve relations between the races. Jolly Bunch of French and Members of 372nd THE LAND OF THE LORD A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD IN THE LAND OF THE LORD A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD IN THE LAND OF THE LORD French Decorate 372nd Flag BRIST, FRANCE.—The Prefect of the Maritime district, here, has decorated the flag of the 372nd Regiment of American Infantry with the French War Cross. The regiment had been cited in an army order for brilliant conduct in the Champagne offensive. The 372nd Regiment was originally assigned to the 93rd Division. The 372nd is composed of battalions formerly in the National Guard from the District of Columbia, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Tennessee. The regiment is at Brest waiting to be carried to the United States. representing was so palpably pathetic. From across the waters it is learned that some race leaders are frothing at the mouth and saying foolish things because, in their opinion, the race is not properly "represented" at the Peace Conference. Judging from their conduct they would be the "proper" persons to sit with the leading diplomats of the world where the display of tact and self-control are so necessary.

Walton represented The New York Act, his trip being made chiefly to secure information about colored troops for The Ace readers. No impression existed either on the host or in France that anyone had been chosen in a popularity contest to attend the Peace Conference. Not for a moment did any one harbor the lofty ambition to officially represent twelve million people. That international and not national issues were being discussed was also well known. THE AGE correspondent is in a position to know that all the race leaders of fifty-seven varieties will be warmly welcomed at the Pan-African Congress. The more the merrier. As to attending the Peace Conference, possibly Secretary Lausing can throw some light on this complex subject. It may be that those who feel they have been unduly slighted and their importance in the community overlooked can, by going through the proper channels, win the recognition to which they think they are so justly entitled. The Peace Conference will be in session several months, so get busy. Heroes of the Old 15th Infantry Officers and men of regiment who have been awarded the Croix de Guerre for gallantry in action.

They want the welcoming exercises to be held in the vicinity of 135th street.

This we learned from the historian and the orator. Quite often we were told, however, that the Negro made a good soldier when properly led. This implication, despite its verbal camouflage, contained the tacit inference that in order for the Negro to win laurels on the field of battle it was necessary that he serve under white officers. It is, therefore, with a feeling of pride and elation that I tell of the excellent record made by the 370th Infantry, formerly the old 8th Illinois, which up to October last was officered by colored men from Lieutenant Colonel down. With sixty-six members of the regiment proudly wearing the Croix de Guerre awarded by the French for conspicuous bravery under fire, thirty of whom were colored officers, it would not seem that the American Negro had been a failure as a leader of men amid shot and shell. This record alone gives the lie to the insidious propaganda spread throughout France by some fellow Americans of diseased mentality, who are seeking to make it appear that race men have not made good as officers. But this subject, I shall discuss at length in another article. The 370th, like the old 15th New York, 371st and 372nd regiments, was brigaded with the French. The Illinois fighters served under General Vincentus, commander of the 59th French Division, shortly after the signing of the armistice, sent the regiment the following communication: set forth in the following order issued by General Vincentus in December: "Officers and Soldiers of the 370th R.I.U.S.: "You are leaving us. The impossibility at this time that the German Army remains from its defeat Officers, non-commissioned officers and men: Your efforts have been rewarded. The armistice is signed. The troops of the Entente, to whom the armies of the American Republic have nobly come to join themselves, have vanquished the most powerful instrument of conquest that a nation could forget—the haughty German Army acknowledges itself conquered. However hard our conditions are, the enemy government has accepted them all. The 370th R. I. U. S. has contributed largely to the success of the 58th Division and has taken in bitter strife both cannon and machine guns. Its units, fired by a noble ardor, got at times even beyond the objectives given them by the higher command; they have always wished to be in the front line, for the place of honor is the leading rank. They have, shown, in the course of our advance, that they are worthy of being there. Just a day or two before the year of 1918 made its exit from the stage of action I visited the 370th Regiment then camped on the outskirts of La Mans, France. To be sent to Le Mans means that "G. H. Q" has decided to transfer your regiment to the United States as soon as transportation facilities will permit. Fully appreciating the fact that they would not be many more weeks on foreign shores, I found officers and men, in a pubilant frame of mind. All were anxiously looking forward to seeing relatives and friends once more. Roberta Lands His Men. Col. T. A. Roberts, white, who succeeded Col. Dennison, is exceedingly fond of his command, and spoke in a complimentary vein of the courage and dash of his officers and men. I learned that quite a number of officers had been killed or injured while putting the Hun to flight. I was agreeably surprised to meet some of the younger officers who were formerly enlisted men from the old 15th New York and the "Buffaloes." They had been commissioned after attending training school in France. It was a source of great pleasure to meet the officers of the 370th and to spend a few hours with them in conversation. I heard many accounts of sacrifice—of how the men for days had marched mile after mile without sufficient food, of how some had heroically met death going over the top, and all to make the world safe for democracy! Sergt. Matthew Jenkins, a Chicago boy and member of Company F, performed one of the most daring feats. Officers and men take great pride in telling how Jenkins, on September 28, 1918, at Mont des Singes, went ahead of his camraderes and captured from the Doubie a fortified tunnel which he held for thirty-six hours without food or nutrition, making use of the enemy machine gun and munition until relieved BY LESTER A. WALTON in the great European connc as a warrior bold. This we sten we were told, however, the tid. This implication, despite nce that in order for the Ne ncessary that he serve under wh ide and elation that I tell of the erly the old 8th Illinois, wh from Lieutenant Colonel o e regiment proudly wearing the Croix i for conspicuous bravery under fire, licers, it would not seem that the re as a leader of men amid shot and the lie to the insidious propaganda me fellow Americans of diseased like it appear that race men have not subject. I shall discuss at length in set forth in the following order issued by General Vincendon in December: 'Officers and Soldiers of the 370th R. I. U. S. "You are leaving us. The impossibility at this time that the German Army can recover from its defeat, the necessity which is imposed on the people of the Entente of taking up again a normal life, leads the United States to diminish its effectiveness in France. You are chosen to be among the first to return to America. In the name of your comrades of the 59th Division I say to you: Au revoir, in the name of France, thank you. "The hard and brilliant battles of Chavigny, Leury and the Bois de Benmont having reduced the effectiveness of the Division, the American government generously put your regiment at the disposition of the French High Command in order to reinforce us. You arrived from the trenches of the Argonne. "We at first, at Mareuil-Sur-Oureq in September, admired your fine appearance under arms, the precision of your review and the suppleness of your evolutions that presented to the eye the appearance of silk unrolling in wavy folds. We advanced to the line. Fate placed you on the banks of the Ailette in front of the Bois Mortier. October 12 you occupied the enemy trenches Acier and Brouze. On the 13th we reached, the railroad of Laon-la Fere, the forest of Saint Gobain, the principal center of resistance of the Hindenburg line was ours. "November 5 the Serre was at last crossed, the pursuit became active. Prout's battalion distinguished itself at the Val St. Pierre, where it captured a German battery. Patton's battalion crossed the first, the Hirson Railroad at the heights of Aulenton, where the Germans tried to resist. Duncan's battalion took Logny and, carried away by their ardor, could not be stopped short of Gue d'Hossus on November 11, after the armistice. We have hardly time to appreciate you, and already you depart. "As Lieut. Col. Duncan said November 28, in offering to me your regimental colors as proof of your love for France as an expression of your loyalty to the 50th Division and our Army, you have given us of your best and you have given it out of the fullness of your hearts. "The blood of your comrades who fell on the soil of France, mixed with the blood of our soldiers, renders indissoluble the bond of affection that unite us. We have, besides, the pride of having worked together at a magnificent task, and the pride of bearing on our foreheads the ray of a common grandeur." The above sentiments, so sincerely and ardently expressed, are characteristic of the French. Having been to France and noted the spirit of true comradeship existing between the French soldier and the colored American soldier, I can thoroughly appreciate the statement made by General Vincendon that "the blood of your comrades who fell on the soil of France, mixed with the blood of our soldiers, renders indisoluble the bond of affection that unite us." The 370th Infantry was truly fortunate at have been provisioned to fight and die with men whose names are LIBERTY, FEATERNITY, EQUALITY — men who know no other law. Heroes Old 8th Minis. Col. T. A.

Colored Artillerymen Make the Enemy Move Out of Trenches Occupied for Four Years—Sergt. Frederick G. Quinn Tells of Feat Performed by 350th Field Artillery. (Special to The New York Am) Jersey City, N. J.—The following letter was received by W. C. Quinn, Sr. from his son, Sergeant-Clerk Frederick G. Queen, of Battery F, 350th Field Artillery, in which he tells how the Battery put the barrage over the Germans before Metz. The letter follows: To-day is Father's Day, and I am as fine as ever. I suppose you know by now that peace has been declared. Armistice was signed 5:45 a.m. Monday, November 11, 1918. We ceased firing about 10:45 a.m. on that memorable days, and I have in my possession some shells I wish to fetch home as souvenirs. proached them knowing their trouble, and said, "Sir, I am going that way, and will inform you as to conditions if I reach the bend." He noticed I had holster emptied, and he said, "Sergeant, where's your gun?" "Sir, I loaned it out to mail order, etc." Anyhow, I ventured forward, leaving horse behind, by creeping stealthily along wire entanglements and found everything all right, and gave signal, right hand upward beckoning for them to come, army, fashion. Another time I was a few miles behind lines in billlets when one night, Nov. 9, 11:45, the Germans got range of our town named Lieuloward, and began a bombardment. Before relating the life of the entire regiment from the day we landed on French soil up to the present, I want to say that we did what no other unit in the whole U. S. Army are unified. First we were placed on a position called Matlach-Seh, Belenan Wools. At this sector, not another regiment had made an advance or retreat. During font carriage, we were stationed at a standstill until finally our Battery on its first day firing, knocked down German Headquarters at Epleyes so bad that the Boeshes had to move. We were ordered by our Colonel to cease firing because German aviators slew right over on position to find position of our guns, which, of course, were camouflaged and unknown to them, otherwise they would have dropped bombs and blown us to pieces. One time I could have killed an aviator if it were not for the orders. We were in dug-outs awaiting the next move; through a peep-hole, I could see the German aviator with machine as low as a tree-top. Orders are ordered: could I nothing be done? We were very cheap along this front. We were frequently gassed, and noise of shell firing was heard until the very end of the struggle. Each and everyone was liable be shot by his own comrade especially in the evening when the real fighting began. We were the men behind the 366th infantry, who went over the top more than twice under our barrage fire, capturing many of the Boaches. I tried to make it with them several times but the Captain refused me permission. He, evidently, thought we were undergoing enough danger. This is the song we song when the old 366th went over the top, "Keep sending them over, and we'll keep knocking them down." Bang! Then the Artillery would open up another parade the Boaches left unparried with a little pepper (gas). The shell goes something like this: "Battery, attention!" bang; as the shell fires, it says, "At ease." Bang! rest. At another time, during a little entertainment, both ours and the German artilleries put down the barrage under which both infantiles intended going over the top, for both met face to face and a hand to hand struggle ensued and what the 366th did to the Germans is indescribable "Aech" Karnerad" the answer, "Karnerad, nothing, you been coming for the last five years, I just got here, being" The greatest thing that hurst its was on the last day of the fighting with the 366th infantile of men in charge over the top without barrage. These men were found in all kinds of positions, some were passed and some shot to pieces. One morning, bright and early, I knew of a drive to be undertaken that day, so took the occasion of saddling a horse and started for first line trenches. I rode like fire around a place called "Death Valley," frequently visited by enemy spies and aviators flying above, when all of a sudden, the machine guns began laughing, "Ah! ah! ah!" hitting everything but horse and myself. It was a lucky day. About a mile from turn (D. V.) I met a body of men under command of a Lieutenant, who were at a standstill, and would not venture any farther until investigation be made. Place looked very suspicious. It was a part of "No Man's Land."

Another time I was a few miles behind lines in billets when one night, Nov. 9, 11.45, the Germans got range of our town named Lieuoward, and began a bombardment killing many. Our billets began to fall. We were lucky; 1, and a few others for we could see shell meant for us whizz by, and land behind killing a French soldier and two sisters. The bombardment continued for sometime. We had to leave billets and take shelter the open. Gas attack followed bombardment, and gas respirator (mask), pistol, and with others camped out, sleeping on wet ground. It was a cold night and shells coming in all directions. Dienhward is a town full of suspicious persons, pro Germans, etc., who somehow would give signal, when firing would begin. I kept my eyes on a auspicious-looking person all night long, at late time he came very near receiving compliments of my 45 Colt. I don't like to make mistakes, hence he may be still living. We are in Dienhward awaiting orders to move. We have broken up positions at front and have led our cannon to town now located for shipment. It was hard work; we had to police up the battlefield, bury the dead, remove shells, etc. Enough ammunition at front to last for another 2 or 3 years. It was very dangerous work. At present, we are drilling harder than at beginning of war. Will probably be home with children months. Have been at many places while in France, you have heard of Metz.

NEGRO TROOPS ATTRACT ATTENTION IN GERMANY WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF ONTARION Wherever American Negroes have appeared in the area occupied by the Americans they have attracted great attention among the civilians. In Treves, Collenz, and other places, during the early days of the occupation, crowds assembled wherever any Negro soldiers stopped the streets, and it was necessary for the military police to enforce the orders prohibiting gatherings in the public throughfares. Even yet in Collenz and Treves, where there are a number of Negro soldiers, the Negroes attract crowds of German children every time they appear in the streets. The German soldier also regards the Negro with great curiosity. According to a discharged German soldier in Rengsdorf, the German Army, early in the war, offered a reward for the capture alive of each Negro. The discharged German soldier said that throughout the war German soldiers lived in great fear, and even terror, of the Negroes, and it was in order to overcome this fear that rewards were offered. One evening on the front a scouting party, consisting of ten Germans, including the discharged soldier, encountered two French Negroes. In a tight which followed two of the scouting party were killed. One of the Negroes escaped, the other being taken prisoner. During the fight two of the Germans left their comrades and ran to the protection of their own trenches, but these, it was explained, were young soldiers and untrained. The reward of four hundred marks subsequently was divided among the remaining six Germans, for capturing the French Negro—From Associated Press dispatch. BEREAN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CELEBRATION (Special to the New York Age) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The seventy-first birthday of Dr. Matthew Anderson and the fortieth anniversary of his pastorate of the Berean Presbyterian Church was celebrated last Saturday night by a represe- ntation on North College avenue. The anniversary sermon was preached Sunday morning by Dr. F. J. Krimke of Washington, D. C., and an informal reception was tendered Dr. and Mrs Anderson on Monday evening. Dr. Anderson's work here has been constructive in the highest sense, touching the religious, educational, economic and industrial life of bur people. The Berean enterprises include one of the best equipped manual and training schools in this section, one of the best building and loan associations the race, and the only army and navy service clubs for our soldiers and sailors in the THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1919 The annual meeting of the board of trustees of the Anna T.

NEGRO AND SOUTH AFTER THE WAR IS DISCUSSED TUSKIDGE INSTITUTE, ALA.—The second day's session of the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference was devoted to a discussion of "Problems Connected with the Demobilization of Negro Soldiers." The principal address before this session was delivered by Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, who has been serving in Washington, D.C., since the outbreak of the war, as special assistant to the Secretary of War. In discussing the subject, "The Negro and the South After the War," Dr. Scott took a broad view of the situation and sought to allay and to dissipate the spirit of unrest and apprehension which seems to obtain in the South with reference to the return to this section of discharged Negro soldiers. Incidentally he revealed the plan and policy of the War Department to gradually demobilize the thousands of Negroes in the Army as rapidly as suitable civilian employment can be found for them. He said in part: "Have no fears that when these soldiers to whom I have referred return from the war, having aided in their country's triumph, that they will, over night, as it were, become a menace to public peace and order. The Negro soldier will return a better citizen because he has learned the value of discipline. He has improved in health and has a knowledge of what to avoid, and what to do in order to maintain and stimulate a healthy mind and body. It may be safely assumed that his heretofore abnormally high sick and death rate will be lowered, and this, incidentally, will mean much for our southern communities. "The Negro is the greatest labor factor in the South. His loyalty and patriotism remain unquestioned. A race composed of such people cannot be other than an asset. It is true that here and there the undesirable and criminal abound, as in all races you will find them, but the same, law-abiding, industrious Negro is legion, and millions of them have justly earned the respect of their various communities."

Paris, France.-On Sunday, December 29, France paid high tribute to its Colonial troops, and the colored Americans present will not soon forget the affecting scenes enacted at the Palais du Trocadero.

A gratifying phase of the great world war is the whole hearted and generous recognition given by the French Army authorities to the Allied forces working with them. That this recognition has been based entirely on merit and free from the slightest suggestion of bias is shown by the fact that four regiments of colored Americans have attained the highest record in the award of decorations from French sources. These regiments were all brigaded with divisions of the French Army and their conduct in action was thus directly under observation by the French. Not only was each of these regiments cited as a unit for the award of the Croix de Guecre, but 359 individual soldiers from the four regiments received the highly prized decoration The greatest number of these decorations came to the 369th Infantry, formerly the 15th New York, which had a total of 169 members cited for the French War Cross. The names of these heroes will be found in another part of this issue. The 370th Infantry, formerly Eighth Illinois, had 66 officers and men cited for the decoration, while the 371st and the 372d Regiments had a total for both units of 124. The significant feature of this distinction won by Negro fighters abroad cannot be overestimated, when it is taken into consideration that these men were largely drawn from civil life, with but brief opportunity for training and practice. The verdict pronounced by the critical French command may be considered as a confirmation of the well known fact that the colored troops make good fighters under all conditions. POLITICAL LEADERSHIP. The death of Moses M. McKee recently, removed a local leader in Republican politics in the Harlem district, whose place will be hard to fill. Local leadership in either of the greater political parties in order to secure practical results, requires arduous and unremitting labor, combined with a rare degree of tact and intimate knowledge of human nature. That these qualities areeldam encountered on the Republican side of the Cause is the misfortune of the party in New York City. It is this fact that makes such leaders as Mr. McKee and the late James E. March notable because of their rarity. Captain F. Norton Goddard was of the same stripe, though possessing greater social and business distinction. Local Republican leadership has suffered from the lack of the human touch with the great mass of the common people, as Mr. Sulzer would style them, the people who have the votes. With the addition of the great number of women voters, the necessity for live and aggressive leadership has been doubled. A large proportion of the Harlem district where Mr. McKee's sway was strongest is composed of colored voters. Why is it not possible for these voters to make good their claims to leadership of the district? They possess individual skills fully equipped for the position, who need only the backing of the voters to put them in a position to represent the best interests of the party in the district. It is not out of the question for one of these individuals who can demonstrate his capacity for leadership to control the situation in Harlem. He must however bring to the situation the fact, the ability to manage and the capacity for hard work that the situation demands. Where is the colored man who will prove equal to the occasion? "BAD LOTS" IN ARMY AND NAVY. A Washington dispatch states that official information is being sought by the War Department concerning reports in Paris newspapers that American soldiers have been involved in a crime wave over there. Doubt was felt by the Washington officials as to whether the situation was as bad as reported. According to the Paris papers, thirty-four murders, 220 day and night assaults and nearly 500 serious fights due to American soldiers occurred in the Department of the Seine in December. Automobile thefts are also attributed to Americans, who are reported as making a specialty of this kind of crime. Secretary Baker is reported as saying that the situation portrayed by the Paris press "seemed incredible." According to one paper, attacks by armed men were becoming overcommon and jewelry stores were being robbed in full daylight in the main streets. This paper concludes, "For it must be said and our friends of the United States deplore the fact like ourselves, that the audacity of some of their 'bad lots' has grown marvelously since the armistice." The audacity of the "bad lots" of the Army abroad is not without competition in the "bad lots" of the Navy at home, however, judging from the following letter sent to The Age by a wardroom steward on a United States vessel: One of the most subtle pieces of work that has ever been heard of lately happened to me due to race prejudice last week. While in England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales I made a large collection of souvenirs, consisting of books, magazines, and miscellaneous tokens with which I wished to remember my many friends. While in port here in Philadelphia members of the crew broke into my room and forced the lock on my "diddy box" and removed everything completely, and left a note which read: "This is no stuff for a nicker to have." Many on the ship had admired my collection of curios on many occasions, and often offered me sums of money for them. The collection represented an investment of over $100 in the countries where they were purchased, and of course there in the United States were worth two or three time more. The officers of the ship took up the matter and have done very little so far in the investigation. It would seem to be up to Secretary Daniels of the Navy to start an investigation into some of his "bad lots", if they are capable of such robbery and insult toward a comrade in the service. No aggregation of "bad lots", at home or abroad, should be allowed to tarnish the glorious record made by American soldiers and sailors in the great war. THE HAMITIC LEAGUE. A new race effort with a new thought and a new purpose is the modest announcement of the Hamitic League of the World, which comes unaccompanied by sensational newspaper conventions and pretended national support. Of course it is a somewhat rash premise to promise a new thought, as most of the possible thoughts have been used up by the busy little thinkers of modern times. But the promoters of the Hamitic League are entitled to make the effort, which is expressed in these words: To inspire the Negro with new hopes; to make him openly, proud of his race and of its great contributions to the religious development and civilization of mankind, and to place in the hands of every race man and woman and child the THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1919 VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W.

The pledge which he has for follows: For every true man in these United States of "American." to all "new Americans" born in honored by slurs, nicknames or hyphenation he shall be to discourage in the native alien to forget his hyphen and to stamp out the use of such nicknames foreign-born. People will naturally wonder why "boon" were left off the list. Until up to Dr. Claxton he would answer words as Dago, Dutchy, Froggy, Hunky, Kike, Mick, Paddy, Sheeney, any foreign-born resident of the United States of a native born American citizen which was being considered. We should have to admit that Dr. Claxton of the law, but we should also admit. There are no nicknames used defensive and carry a keeper sting that are more commonly used; we have made his pledge a bit more among the younger generation if he in his list of nicknames. It is a certain amount of blame in the Dr. Claxton's shoulders. I should out what I mean. As ago I was in the city of Philadelphia great number of colored boys that lived States Navy. I drew one of the order to find as well as I might like the service. He told me that he had many years, and that since the war I better for the colored men than I. He went on to say, "We are still engaged the following happening: The sailor who had been to the theatre, began to talk about the 'nigger' he called those people 'niggers.' Each other 'nigger' and I didn't ever never to do it again in my press. This white sailor made up his mind what about the colored sailors? Now whether Italian's speak of each think some Jews have the habit of and some Irishmen of other Irish one of these people use these races commonly as colored people use the use made of this term among us, very different in sense to the use is often used almost as a term of end. It is not an uncommon thing to a term of affectionate greeting. But there is hardly a colored man, fro does not deeply resent the use of two colored men might affectionate but if either of them were referrer, it would be regarded as an inimitable a good beginning toward abolition, if the colored boys boys and colored boys everywhere is: For every true man, boy, woman and will be the honorable name of 'America will expect and demand that name itself never to refer to any class of native nickname, and to resent being the manner. Bridge that I shall never use the epiphany own race, and I shall endeavor colored people everywhere." Of the above pledge could be in own the idea. The term "nigger" then to demand that white people is softest and least offensive semicolored people themselves. A few weeks ago a campaign was started to discourage the use of offensive nicknames for the foreign-born among our population. One of the means for carrying forward this campaign had been definitely planned by Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education. His idea is to have the Boy Scouts and members of all other boy organizations subscribe to a pledge called the "Code of Honorable Names." The pledge which he has formulated and sent out reads as follows: My name for every true man in these United States shall be the honorable name of "American." My reference to all "new Americans" born in other lands shall never be dishonored by slurs, nicknames or hyphens. My purpose shall be to discourage in the native born the love for titles, to help every alien to forget his hyphen and be proud of the name American and to stamp out the use of such nicknames as words of derision of the foreign-born. We pledge ourselves never to use, and to discourage everywhere, the use of such words as Dago, Dutchy, Froggy, Ginny, Greaser, Heiny, Horwat, Hunky, Kike, Mick, Paddy, Sheeney, Spaghetti and Wop as applied to any foreign-born resident of the United States of America. Colored people will naturally wonder why such epithets as "nigger" and "coon" were left off the list. Undoubtedly, if this question were put up to Dr. Claxton he would answer that the campaign was launched and the pledge formulated with our alien population in mind; that the purpose was to help the alien to forget that he was a foreigner and to make him feel that he was American; and that the Negro is a native born American citizen and does not feel in the category which was being considered. I suppose we should have to admit that Dr. Claxton's answer fulfilled the letter of the law, but we should also feel that it did not carry out the spirit. There are no nicknames used in this country that are more offensive and carry a keener sting than "nigger" and "coon", and none that are more commonly used; so we feel that Dr. Claxton would have made his pledge a bit more conducive to good Americanism among the younger generation if he had included these two terms in his list of nicknames. But there is a certain amount of blame in this matter which cannot be put on Dr. Claxton's shoulders. I shall relate a little incident to point out what I mean. Some months ago I was in the city of Philadelphia, and I was struck by the great number of colored boys that I saw in the uniform of the United States Navy. I drew one of these young men into conversation in order to find as well as I might how these colored boys fared in the service. He told me that he had served in the navy for a good many years, and that since the war began, things were a great deal better for the colored men than they had been for some time before. He went on to say, "We are standing up for our rights." He then related the following happening: "One day aboard ship, a white sailor who had been to the theatre and seen some colored performers, began to talk about the 'niggers' in the show. I asked him why he called those people 'niggers.' He said 'I hear you fellows call each other 'nigger' and I didn't know it was any harm.' I told him never to do it again in my presence, and I don't believe he will." Most likely this white sailor made up his mind not to use the term again; but what about the colored sailors? I do not know whether Italian's speak of each other as "dagoes" and "wops". I think some Jews have the habit of speaking of other Jews as "kikes", and some Irishmen of other Irishmen as "micks". But, perhaps, none of these people use these race epithets among themselves so commonly as colored people use the term "nigger." Of course, the use made of this term among colored people is, in a large degree, very different in sense to the use made of it by white people. It is often used almost as a term of endearment among certain classes. It is not an uncommon thing to hear two colored men use it as a term of affectionate greeting. But as common as this use of it is, there is hardly a colored man, from the highest to the lowest, who does not deeply resent the use of the term by any white person. Two colored men might affectionately greet each other as "nigger", but if either of them were referred to as "nigger" by a white person, it would be regarded as an insult. Would it not be a good beginning toward abolishing the use of the term "nigger" altogether, if the colored Boy Scouts and the colored school boys and colored boys everywhere took a pledge something like this: "My name for every true man, boy, woman and girl in these United States shall be the honorable name of 'American.' I myself will be true, and will expect and demand that name as my title. "I pledge myself never to refer to any class of Americans by any slur or offensive nickname, and to resent being referred to or spoken to in a like manner. "I further pledge that I shall never use the epithets which are often applied to my own race, and I shall endeavor to discourage their use among colored people everywhere." The wording of the above pledge could be improved; I have merely jotted down the idea. The term "nigger" ought to be abolished. In order then to demand that white people stop using it, its use, even in its softest and least offensive sense, ought to be stopped among colored people themselves.

We hail the advent of the Hamitic League with mingled emotions of awe and admiration. the old school, who holds forth for an hour or two on the greatness, no, more than that, on the sacredness of all things Southern, and that includes prejudice against the Negro. This Southern Society in New York has done far more than most of us have any idea of to foster and spread prejudice against the Negro, not only in the South, but here in the North. We are told on good authority that it helped to circulate, if not to finance, Thomas Dixon's terrible books. We have also been informed that at one time it conducted a campaign of distributing anti-Negro literature in the seats of the New York theatres. We wonder how many Southern Societies there are in the other large cities of the North, and if they are too, not only bodies for perpetuating the glory of Southern institutions, but for actively spreading race prejudice. Another thought: we wonder if there are any such things as "Northern Societies" in the cities of the South. We know that in many of the Southern cities there are large numbers of Northern people; in fact, every city in the South that has made any progress since the war necessarily has a large Northern population. We do not know if there are any "Northern Societies" in these Southern cities or not. We should like to know. But we are sure of one thing: If there are, they are not making it any special business of theirs to preach against race prejudice and injustice. When it comes to aggressiveness, hats must be tipped to the Southerner. He started out forty years ago to win back the national influence he had lost as a result of the Civil War; and he has about done it. THE ECONOMIC THEORY. More than once we have economic questions are so deed Negro's condition in this country from it; nevertheless, the Negro tion of economics. The proof of this can be gaudy. Many a white man in this county count of his economic condition that he may change his class. Laboring class, fighting in the rerapitalistic class. That same whistle. The thing has happened once. A colored man may also be conditions, but even if he overfinds that he is tied down by some tage has a Negro in Mississippi hood and citizenship, even thou pendence, over one who is still in the difference between what the white man is compelled to sate within his possibility to chalion, is confronted by conditions to change, he cannot change his Now, the economic theorist race changes its economic condi against the black man. Perhaps theorist see that even so, the Negro placed upon him? It is not rechange its economic condition it have full opportunity to rise as if the entire Negro race in this independent and well educated be allowed the opportunities that arties, the outlook is not very hop in this country has not yet been probably never will. This settling on the economy of all our problems is simply and human heart is always seeking to find a cure all. To discover son key to all happiness. It is on longing that it is easy to sell a new religion. No, our problem is not so sition enters into it, but there are no one of the most important of the call race prejudice, which, in ot and sometimes just pure human both. But none of all of this is what to call attention to the following: A telegram to a New Orleans the theory advanced to defend the Lynching near that place is that, a held until March, the county will feeding four confessed murderers thing to do, with the present cost there must be recognized as enteri economic Lynching, which, in turn, vital of the interest. In our opinion, this is carryin far. since we have said in this column us are so deeply involved in the in this country that they can less, the Negro's condition is not this can be gained from a few men in this country is tied to a economic condition, but there is always his class.

Economic theorist will say that when economic condition, race and color. Perhaps that is true, but can even so, the Negro will still have. It is not required that the economic condition in order that individuality to rise as high as they have to race in this country must be well educated before individuals of countries that are open to other men not very hopeful, because they not yet been able to accomplish it. In the economic theory as contain is simply another evidence of the always seeking a panacea. It is also to discover some one thing that less. It is on account of this easy to sell a new patent medicine is not so simple as that. Our out there are many other elements important of these elements is which, in other words is some pure human "cussedness", and of this is what we started out to the following clipping from the New Orleans paper from Shubutau, to defend the man that indulged place is that, as the next term of the county would have been put used murderers for three months at the present cost of food. If this is organized as entering the seem, what me which, in turn, invokes the natural this is carrying the economic th More than once we have said in this column that although economic questions are so deeply involved in the question of the Negro's condition in this country that they cannot be separated from it; nevertheless, the Negro's condition is not entirely a question of economics. The proof of this can be gained from a few moments of thought. Many a white man in this country is tied to a certain class on account of his economic condition, but there is always the possibility that he may change his class. A white man may to-day be in the laboring class, fighting in the ranks of the labor unions against the capitalistic class. That same white man to-morrow may be a capitalist. The thing has happened over and over again. A colored man may also be tied to a certain class by economic conditions, but even if he overcomes these economic conditions, he finds that he is tied down by something else. What essential advantage has a Negro in Mississippi in the fundamental rights of manhood and citizenship, even though he has achieved economic independence, over one who is still honestly struggling against poverty? The difference between white and black in this country is that the white man is compelled to struggle only against conditions that are within his possibility to change; while the black man, in addition, is confronted by conditions that are not within his possibility to change, he cannot change his race or his color. Now, the economic theorist will say that when the entire Negro race changes its economic condition, race and color will not count against the black man. Perhaps that is true, but cannot the economic theorist see that even so, the Negro will still have a great handicap placed upon him? It is not required that the entire white race change its economic condition in order that individual white men have full opportunity to rise as high as they have the ability to go. If the entire Negro race in this country must become economically independent and well educated before individuals of the race will be allowed the opportunities that are open to other men of like capabilities, the outlook is not very hopeful, because the entire white race in this country has not yet been able to accomplish that much, and probably never will. This settling on the economic theory as containing the solution of all our problems is simply another evidence of the truth that the human heart is always seeking a panacea. It is always hoping to find a cure all. To discover some one thing that will serve as the key to all happiness. It is on account of this deep-seated human longing that it is easy to sell a new patent medicine or to start a new religion. No, our problem is not so simple as that. Our economic condition enters into it, but there are many other elements involved. And one of the most important of these elements is what we commonly call race prejudice, which, in other words is sometimes ignorance, and sometimes just pure human "cussedness", and very often it is both. But none of all of this is what we started out to say. We wanted to call attention to the following clipping from the Mobile Register: A telegram to a New Orleans paper from Shubinta, Miss, says that the theory advanced to defend the moth that indulged in the quadruple lynching near that place is that, as the next term of court will not be held until March, the county would have been put to the expense of feeding four confessed murderers for three months, not an advisable thing to do, with the present cost of food. If this is truly reported, there must be recognized as entering the scene, what may be called the economic lynching, which, in turn, invokes the natural law of the survival of theittest. In our opinion, this is carrying the economic theory entirely too far. THE BALLOT IN ALABAMA. The ballot is the most forceful instrument known to the American people. The ballot properly used is the instrument to adjust grievances and complaints. The ballot in the hands of those who understand its power and its purpose will do more to remove race prejudices and inter-racial differences than all other agencies working together. Politics are generally directed by the ballot. Politics is a science of government. The political ballot is the voice of the people. In Alabama this instrument—the ballot—is inactive, and cannot be used without the poll tax of $1.50 having been paid previous to voting. The poll tax is properly an educational tax. It is used exclusively for the education of the children, and because of this it should be cheerfully paid and jealously cared for by every colored man. There is a general feeling among colored men that certain laws are made to hinder them and check the progress of the race. Be this as it may, it is the law, and it is up to every man to do his duty so well, and comply with the law so completely that those who intended wrong in the framing of such a law would receive a rehake, from those they sought to punish by the obedience to the law and a complete compliance with it.—Birmingham Reporter said in this column that although simply involved in the question of the country that they cannot be separated, his condition is not entirely a question from a few moments of thought. Country is tied to a certain class on an island, but there is always the possibility. A white man may to-day be in the ranks of the labor unions against the white man to-morrow may be a capitalist over and over again. It tied to a certain class by economic homes these economic conditions, but something else. What essential advantage in the fundamental rights of man, though he has achieved economic independence, struggles against poverty, white and black in this country is that struggle only against conditions that range; while the black man, in addition, that are not within his possibility, race or his color. Will say that when the entire Negro nation, race and color will not count that is true, but cannot the economist grover will still have a great handicap required that the entire white race in order that individual white men, high as they have the ability to go country must become economically before individuals of the race will be open to other men of like capability, because the entire white race able to accomplish that much, and the theory as containing the solution, other evidence of the truth that the panacea. It is always hoping to be one thing that will serve as the account of this deep-seated human new patent medicine or to start a simple as that. Our economic condition many other elements involved. And these elements is what we commonly utter words is sometimes ignorance, "cussedness", and very often it is that we started out to say. We wanted clipping from the Mobile Register paper from Shibuta, Miss, says that much that indulged in the quadruple the next term of court will not be had have been put to the expense of for three months, not an advisable food. If this is truly reported, the seem, what may be called the invokes the natural law of the surge the economic theory entirely too OBJECTIONS TO "JIM CROW" CARS The Negro objects to the "jim crow" car laws because there never was a case and never will be a case where these laws are in operation that the accommodations are equal. Again, in no case where attempts have been made to secure equal accommodations, for the Negro passengers, have they been successful. Again, in states where these laws are operated exceptions are made in favor of cooks, maids and nurses. As the peace officers usually are all white they are often indifferent to the comfort and safety of Negro passengers, and permit disorder and insults to ladies by ruffians of both races in cars occupied by Negroes exclusively, they would not tolerate in the presence of white passengers. And, then, it is next to impossible to secure a conviction in the courts of the roads for failure to provide proper accommodations for Negro passengers. And once more the civilized world regards the "jim crow" cars as a stigma against a class of people which no honest, fair, minded Christian people would inflict upon a part of its citizenship. The principles which the "jim crow" system sets up can never be accepted by any honest, fair minded and intelligent people—Danville (Ky.) OUR RIGHT IN ARFICA. By John Haughton. Now that the war has been concluded in Europe, the problems and difficulties resulting therefrom present themselves for our consideration and decision. Africa has always been a country of much interest to Europe and the Europeans. They went into it early, and by military force and other brute means, divided it up among the soldiers. The conclusive rights of the actual owners of these vast tracts of lands, namely, the Africans, have not been fully recognized. The question of Africa has always been a delicate and complicated matter, more so to the British administrators of South Africa, and the exploiters of Africa, along with the spoilers of the capitalistic class at home—the real cream reapers of the Gold and Diamond fields of Africa. They are endeavoring to show the world, and to force the coerced people themselves to behave so that the Africans are still incapable of maintaining a government, or that, in the Negroes throughout the world be permitted to rule themselves, it would prove a sad and lamentable failure. The fundamental success of British rule and its great secret in governing great bodies of people, rest in an accurate policy to keep as many of those people separated, handling one party with the kid gloves, and keeping the other oppressed. The same is true of Belgium, the most brutal of them all. The details and arrangements of this terrible system are found in the private governmental chambers of Europe. It is not so much that the colored people of Africa cannot, or that they are absolutely incapable of establishing a government of their own there, but it is, in my opinion, the anxieties of the South African lords, and the British spoilers of Africa, a pretense either to strengthen their own possessions, or to increase their influence. With all that England has accomplished in Africa, it is hard to conceive that any group of African chiefs would agree to any position to turn over any part of the country to any other government in Europe except France; or that the territories conquered and taken away from Germany and her tyrannical rulers should be turned over to them again, which is absolutely out of the question, or that, that these territories should become another burden to the British government. These lands must go back to the African people themselves, for they are lands, and I can see no good reason why England, which actually owns third self the invasions already, should seek to deprive the Africans of the right. England lives in the fields of missions now working in Africa to this end; her gigantic efforts are to impress upon the minds of the African natives the indispensability of her hard these lands, else the liability of them falling back into the hands of the deprived. The British administrators at Africa have never found it very necessary to render any effective protest against the butchery and indiscriminate massacre of African natives. The saw a few words in infantile sympathy when the conceived—and the British are now quick to grasst—the situation as touching the point of attracting international attention. The plain facts are that their operations and achievements for centuries in Africa have proven to be equivocacy that England, Germany, and the brutal Portuguese, have always adhered to the policy that the more natives they get out of the war the freer their exploits of Africa and that is why they have in this cooperative policy slaughtered countless thousands of the African natives behind the dark curtains of civilization. Millions have disappeared!! Had this not been so. We, the colored people throughout America, have resources enough and we are ready to equip as many colored soldiers as would be necessary to guard the safety of Africa, especially the German colonies, until the Africans themselves are able with our aid to secure their own safety. England has many fortunes in Africa, and she has extracted from the soil sufficient wealth to turn over all her possessions in Africa to the Africans, and the African people, on a percentage basis, or she should be pleased, with her present deprine of humanity, and gladly welcomes the proposition that: A COMMISSION composed of black men, black members of color from the most important countries, be appointed to see that the per cent of the annual yield of Africa be spent to develop, to civilize, and to provide better conditions for people of Africa. We must use none of this task ourselves if Africa is brought to a recognized standard civilization, and if we desire that the resources of Africa should be spent in the actual uplift of the people. The colored people of this world should wake to these facts and see the movements of these great power Celtic rule throughout the world only in Africa. Whatever be best this conference, which will be the greatest internal and gathering situation, will be lost indefinitely. A great English general of Africa who has seen the valor of the African soldier displayed against the most midable enemy of "democracy" clared that after the war England should see to it that the colored people Africa receive no "military training. Do you realize what this means? Now you see plainly the aims of England and others in Africa. There is something behind it. America, Italy and France were included as the power along with England to take this necessary step, but it is not possible to France, Italy or the United States going to be led into such an undertaking as this at any time. We ourselves are going into Africa to educate and train the Africans in a way that they may be able to maintain their own freedom, and develop the resources of their country. It is our duty to occupy Africa. The time has come if we are looking forward to a great and prosperous future for ourselves. I invite your attention across the Atlantic ocean. Africa must be considered! The future is both dark and bright for me. Remember that whatever the conclusion of this great world conference by human conflict is perpetual. I hope that the colored people throughout the world will not fail to grasp the opportunity.

He is firmly against the exnexation plan that is being pressed by Australia and British Africa, thus putting it up to Great Britain either to support her dominions or the Wilson principle. Premier Hughes of Australia is the foremost champion of annexation, but confidence is expressed in American circles that Great Britain will support the President, who holds that the claims of the Dominions are irreconcilable with the idea of the League. Japan and the whole Pacific question are involved in this situation. Japan is pressing her colonial claims and plainly is hoping for British support, but if the predictions made in well informed quarters to-night are true she will not obtain this. The colonial question is productive of a certain amount of selfishness by some of the larger Powers not being strictly in accord with the Wilson principles. Compensation for war efforts underlies most of the claims. South Africa wants both of the former German African colonies, but Belgium also claims one of them. Franéze does not appear to be desirous of adding to her colonies. TRENTON, N. J. TRENTON, N.J. J.-Mrs. Kathryn Johnson spent the week end in New York. Mrs. Marie Speed of New York is visiting Mrs. R.

I am happy to say that all messages sent and received by me were absolutely correct. "Now that the war is over and you are happy, you can well imagine the joy of those who have been dodging shot and shell that could not be seen, and welcoming the ground on a rainy day or night.

C.—One of the most interesting and far reaching conferences in its results for good to the best interests of the race, was held last Friday evening at the residence of H. Lassiter, when Congressman Mann of Illinois was present. The conference was presided over by Joseph E. Johnson, and was largely attended by some of the most influential of our men in the District of Columbia. The object of the Conference was to elicit opinion of the possible legislative advantage to the race in the bill transferring the railroads to federal control back to corporation ownership to regulate to correct further election abuses in the legal phases of the matter were set forth upon invitation of Mr. Mann by Mr. Murray, S. M. Dudley, Judge Robert H. Terrell and others. Upon invitation, T. Thomas Fortune gave his opinion of the possible danger in reducing Southern representation by the discontinuance of the right of their Negro voters, and the possible remedy for the condition, which Mr. Fortune thought, would be the absolute separation from State elections. Congressman Mann was very much pleased by the information he received from the conference, and another conference is slated for the next week. Larges much or the future interests of the black views of its leading men are sought by representatives of the Republican party, charged with the responsibility for Federal legislation.

Steam heat THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS "No More Fleecing of Colored Vaudevillian," Says Murdock (BY LESTER A. WALTON) LAST week John J. Murdock, general manager of the B. F. Keith Circuit, served notice on booking agents that no longer would the practice of fleecing colored acts out of money honestly due them be tolerated. Mr. Murdock was prompted to come to the rescue of the colored vaudevillian after a flagrant case of extortion had been brought to his attention. Tom Cross of the Abyssinian Trio is largely responsible for the issuance of the new order which should put thousands of dollars in the pockets of colored performers—money which all along has been intended for them but which they never received. There has been much talk about the organization's friendly attitude toward the colored vaudevillian and its good intentions, but so far as we know nothing past the conversational stage has materialized. If the officers and members of the National Vaudeville Artists use Some months ago the Abyssinian Trio, composed of Tom Cross, Ed Williams and Margaret Jackson, made arrangements to work under the management of a white woman, who contracted to pay them $60 each. No commission was to be taken out. Very little work was secured for the trio by the female manager, so recently Tom Cross and his partners decided to try and secure booking on their own hook—something they ought to have done long ago. When the former manager learned of the activities of the trio to get work, she set up a big howl despite the fact that she had failed dismally in the task of providing the act with consecutive booking. One booking agent, after promising the trio work, declared that he could not carry out his promise unless the former manager was included in the financial arrangements. Tom Cross took exceptions to this declaration and went forthwith to the Keith office and asked for an interview with Mr. Murdock. From the underlings who guard the inner-offices he first met with the cold reception usually accorded the colored vaudevillian, but so persistent was he that he finally got to Mr. Murdock who listened attentively to all he had to say. Then Mr. Murdock summoned the booking agent in question and instructed him to book the Abyssinian Trio. He ridiculed the claim that the former female manager was entitled to any money made by the act and said he did not want to hear of any booking agent being a party to such a hold-up game in the future. Tom Cross was told to advise all his fellow colored vaudevillians to register a complaint if they, at any time, were the victims of the booking agent in the future. Jones & Jones, a colored act recently from the West, tell of an experience which has been investigated by the Keith people. Upon coming to New York they were sent to the Crescent and Greenpoint theatres. Brooklyn, splitting the week with the two houses. The booking agent did not give them a contract but told them they would receive only $25 at each house, as they first had to show their act: Jones & Jones put in the week in Brooklyn, but when told to go to New London, Conn., under the same arrangement and pay railroad fares they demurred and would not leave the city. The manager of the New London house later wrote in to the Keith Office and complained that Jones & Jones had broken their contract. When Mr. Murdock instituted an investigation he found that at no time had the act received a contract and that the booking agent was getting money to which the colored performers were legally entitled. The booking agent was asked, why Jones & Jones had never received a contract, but was unable to give a sensible and convincing answer. There has been a lot of this questionable work going on in recent years, but with the booking agent of unprincipiled proclivities knowing that there is a possibility of the vaudevillian getting the ear of the powers that be it is not likely that there will be a recurrence of conditions which have not helped to put vaudeville on a high plane of respectability. Many thanks to John J. Murdock for demanding a square deal for the colored performer. What, if anything, has the National Vaudeville Artists done toward taking in colored members? a general manager of the B. F. Keith booking agents that no longer would bred acts out of money honestly due it was prompted to come to the rescue a flagrant case of extortion had been There has been much talk about the organization's friendly attitude toward the colored vaudevillian and its good intentions, but so far as we know nothing past the conversational stage has materialized. If the officers and members of the National Vaudeville Artists use judgment they will make an effort to win over the colored vaudevillian now. Some years ago the White Rats were disinclined to cooperate with the colored vaudevillian; then, later on when an appeal was made to come into the organization colored actors merely smiled and said nay, nay. A branch of the National Vaudeville Artists could be formed among responsible colored vaudevillians. This should be done primarily as a business proposition. Stress is laid on "business" proposition as too often our white friends confuse our business ambitions with social ambitions. We well know that our fellow-Americans have peculiar ideas about "social equality," such possessed by no other people. Colored members of the theatrical profession have no burning desire to invade the National Vaudeville Artists' Club and spend the time in social revelry; they can have more genuine fun among themselves and in their own club. But they do think colored vaudevillians should belong to the organization and that colored acts should have a voice at all meetings where the interests of the vaudevillian receive serious consideration.

Her playing must have been an inspiration to the many students present and a joy to the musicians and music lovers.

The Abyssinian Baptist Church of New York City, which is 110 years old, closed last Sunday evening one of the most remarkable and helpful revivals in its history. The meeting, which began night, was to have closed on the 11th January, but the crowds were so large the interest so deep and results so great that the audience voted unanimously to run it another week.

He and Dr. Powell were schoolmates and no two men could have possibly worked more agreeably together during the revival. Dr. Griffith most of the preaching and it is the unanimous opinion of the thousands who heard him that New York has not listened to a stronger preacher and evangelist. His sermons not only reached the unconverted and the back-dwellers, but greatly strengthened the members who flocked to hear him from all the churches. Not only Abyssinia, but colored church in New York, has a higher conception of Christian living and working because of his ministry. Long before 7:30 Sunday evening, when Dr. Griffith was booked to preach to farewell sermon, every seat and all standing room had been occupied and hundreds were being turned away. As an expression of appreciation of his splendid services, the audience gave him $23.33. The New York people desire to thank Kansas for lending them this great preacher to assist Dr. Powell.

"Be this agreement as it may, there is no reason why the county officials, or state officials should not see that serious violations against the state are punished. "In the present case, which is the most serious crime that can be committed, no one knows what has been done.
