IT IS Pay Tribute to the Memory of Theodore Roosevelt OLD FIFTEENTH BACK IN THE UNITED STATES THE AGE has the largest bona-fide list of paid up subscribers of any Negro newspaper in the U. S. A. VOL. XXXII. NO. 21. Pay Tri OLD FI Impressive Services Held at St. Mark's M. E. Church. Endorse Plan for Permanent Memorial. The world paid tribute to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt Sunday and colored Americans by the thousands took part in impressive services held in various sections of the United States. St. Mark's M. E. Church in West Eindhoven street, was the scene of the largest gathering of local Negroes when, on last Sunday afternoon, Roosevelt was claimed in affectionate words of esteem by colored men and women who immortalized him. Dr. A. Clayton Powell presided. Interesting addresses were made by Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Hon. Emmett J. Scott and Miss Eva D. Bowles. Appropriate musical selections were rendered to the St. Mark's and Mt. Olivet choirs, the Martin-Smith Music School, Miss Gertrude Martin, violinist, and Mme. Lady Tayley, soloist. Invocation was offered by the Rev. W. S. Holder and invitation pronounced by the Rev. J. Wesley Johnson. Lewis were read from prominent Americans, including Mrs. Roosevelt and members of the family who were unable to be present. Resolutions drafted by a committee of well-known citizens, in eulogy of the life character and works of Colonel Roosevelt, expressing genuine sorrow over his death, endorsing the movement to establish a permanent Roosevelt memorial, were read — the Rev. W. P. Hayes. The resolutions follow: "Ralph Waldo Emerson says: 'A great man concludes the world to the task of explaining him.' The average man comes and goes without the world taking any special notice of him. He is unknown outside the narrow circle of his immediate surroundings, and his passing occasions no stir in the world about him. The nation today measures the death of a great man. Not place the days of Lincoln has there appeared on our national horizon a more commanding threat than that of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, statesman, soldier, aator and prophet. His genius for leadership was no less marked than were his extraordinary powers of intellect. No man since Lincoln has been totally interpreted America to America, and to the world than Colonel Roosevelt. Liberty and justice are fundamentals of his political mind and loyalty to the spirit of our institution to him the solid test which our citizenship should be tested and aggressive humility and firmness in and always true kind of Americanism.

Bartlett that the 369th Regiment, (old 15th.) Col. William Hay ward commanding, will parade before demobilization. Next Monday will positively be the day of the parade. MEMBERS OF OLD 15TH ARRIVING IN NEW YORK FROM FRANCE THE FEDERAL NATIONAL GUARD 60,000 Stevedores in the Army 'Over There;' Helped Win War By LESTER A. WALTON. In our enthusiasm over the exploits and achievements of our combatant forces many of us have unintentionally overlooked the accomplishments and excellent record of our non-combatants. The activities of the stevedore, for instance, have been more of the dull routine and void of the spectacular, yet the valuable services rendered by these boys of the "S. O. S." (Service of Supply) are not to be underestimated by the general public. While in Tours, France, headquarters of the Service of Supply of the American Expeditionary Forces, The Army representative was told by a high Army official that there were at least 40,000 colored soldiers in this branch of the service stationed in various parts of the French Republic. They are sometimes known as engineers and other times as stevedores. Shortly before leaving France I heard them officially referred to as "service of supply men." But no matter what they are called they were an important coog in the military machinery which did so much toward help winning the war. There are thousands of white stewedores, usually known as engineers, and they, too, have performed their work satisfactorily; but it has been due largely to the brain, brawn and endurance of the colored stewedores that the United States has acquired a reputation among the Powers for efficiency and celerity in handling large cargoes of material at base ports. The French continue to marvel at the speed in which colored stewedores handle freight. The first stewedores to go to France early in June, 1917, were experienced civilians recruited from New Orleans and other sea-port towns in the Southland. They finished their contract in June, 1918, and returned to America. By this time, due to enlistment by volunteers and draftsmen, the stewedores camps at base ports had become one great industrial army. Stewedores regiments were under military regulations, wore the same uniforms and were officered by commissioned and non-commissioned officers like the infantry. Chief Base Ports. Bordeaux, Brest, St. Nazaire and Marseilles are the chief base ports where thousands of stewedores and engineers may be found. Hundreds of colored soldiers whose work has not been completed may be seen in the vicinity of Toul, Verdun, Epermay, St. Michel, Finesse and the Argonne. Many millions of dollars worth of supplies of all kinds are being salvaged by those Americans who do sentry duty and are under just as rigid discipline as before the signing of the armistice. The wars over. Many of our heroes are returning to American shores, but the colored soldiers of the "S. O. S." are still on the job. It is doubtful if they will return to the United States in large numbers within the next six months. The United States has thousands of soldiers in the Army of Occupation. They must be fed and furnished with supplies. The duty of getting these supplies into Germany is largely incumbent on the stevedores. The recent decision of the Y. M. C. A. to send fifteen additional colored canteen workers to France, thanks to recommendations made by R. K. Motton, strengthens the assumption that the stay of those in the "S. O. S." is indefinite. The Rev. D. L. Ferguson, pastor of the Church of Our Merciful Saviour, Louisville, Ky., who, for more than a year was stationed at St. Nazaire as a Y. M. C. A. Worker and became a big favorite with the stevedores, says that during the war the stevedores took great pride in their companies, their camps, and all that belonged to the army; that because their work and contribution were always emphasized by officers as being essential to the boys in the churches, the "stevedores" became one of dignity as representing part of a great American Army. How splendidly the stevedores measured up to military standards of efficiency and the great affection with which their officers regarded them and their work, the Rev. Dr. Ferguson makes apparent by quoting. Col. C. E. Goodwyn, who for over a year was in charge of the largest camp of colored stevedores in France. In a letter to the Rev. Dr. Ferguson, Colonel Goodwyn said: "It is with many keen thrusts of sorrow that I am obliged to leave this camp and the men who have made up this organization. The men for whose uplift you are working have not only grained but have truly earned a large place in my heart, and I will always cherish a loving memory of the men of this wonderful organization which I have had the honor and privilege to command." Out of the war have been born jokes innumerable, but in eight out of ten cases they are on the colored soldier—usually the steward. In the trenches many stories were told at his expense with the result that humor and cheerfulness supplanted gloom and depression. Before the signing of the armistice one was always readily impressed with the unfailing high spirits of the colored steward as he merrily sang whistled and jubled while handling heavy Record of the Old 15th The first colored American troops in action. Had first taste of war April 8, 1918, at Main de Massages, Champagne. During April, 1918, held 20 per cent of ground held by the American Army. A member of the regiment was the first American daughboy to be awarded the Croix de Guerre. The regiment as a whole won the Croix de Guerre in September and October, 1918. One hundred and seventy-one officers and men were awarded individual citations by the French. The first unit of the Allied Army to reach the Rhine, leaving the trenches at Thann November 17 and going to Bledelheim on the left bank of the Rhine November 18. Has a record of 191 days in front-line trenches and in battle—the best made by any American unit. Never lost a prisoner, a trench or a foot of ground. OLD EIGHTH ILLINOIS NOW AT CAMP UPTON The 370th Infantry, formerly the old 8th Illinois, returned to the United States Sunday on the steamer La France—123 officers and 2,843 men, under command of Cobncl Roberts. Along with the first contingent of the old 15th to arrive in the port of New York, the Illinois fighters were sent to Camp Upton, L. I., where they are now stationed. The colored 'Miers are in the same area at Camp Upton as was formerly occupied by the 367th Infantry, which was trained at this camp. DRASTIC CHANGES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY (Special to The New York Times) WASHINGTON, D. C. The mid-year meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University last Friday evening threw consternation into the ranks of the old "regime" on the Hill. It was the first meeting of the board under the presidency of the newly elected president, Dr. J. Stanley Durton. He said before the trustees a comprehensive plan of changes in both the personnel and the operations of the institution (Contributed by Sara Ames) LYNCHING DENOUNCED BY CITY FEDERATION For the first time in its history the color question was taken up by the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs at its annual convention at the Hotel Astor last Friday. A resolution containing three clauses of vital interest to the colored people of the United States was adopted. The first, denounced lynching, especially as practiced against Negroes; the second recognized the work done by colored women during the war and the third clause recommended that colored women have equal opportunities with white women as citizens of the United States. Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, wife of the Allen Emery Custodian and president of the Rampy Club of America, sponsored the resolution and so skilfully did the manage her campaign that it was adopted almost unanimously, although there are hundreds of Southern women in the federation, composed of 330 clubs. Between 1,500 and 2,000 delegates were present. Mrs. Palmer made a stirring speech, in which she graphically described the outrages and humiliations the colored citizens of the United States constantly are compelled to suffer in spite of the splendid record they have made. She warned the representatives of the various clubs that their organizations would have to join in the fight to secure justice for the Negro if they intended to do their full duty as American citizens. Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer Makes Stirring Speech. Mrs. Palmer had a splendid array of facts furnished by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through the courtesy of James Weldon Johnson, and the statements which she made and was able to prove, indisputedly caused a sensation. The Mary Turner lynching was given especial emphasis. Supporting Mrs. Palmer, conspicuously, was Mrs. Marie Gross Newhaus, president of the League for Justice, Equality and Peace. Mrs. Newhaus declared that not only must America be proud of the Negro, but the Negro must feel that he can be proud of America. She pointed out the inconsistency of protesting against German atrocities in Belgium when crimes equally as abhorrent were common occurrences in the United States. The resolution which was presented to the City Federation of Women's clubs was the result of a movement inaugurated at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. Maudie G. Hale, 576 Greens ave.

One battalion came on the Regina. Above the din of whistle-blowing, ringing of bells and cheering, the band of the old 15th lent additional martial ardor to the home-coming by playing patriotic airs. "Is everybody happy?" yelled out one enthusiastic member of the Citizens' Welcome Committee, and a mighty answer in the affirmative was given by the boys on the Stockholm. Colonel Hayward, who has come back to New York happy in the thought that and his "Heil Fightera" have made a glorious record in the world war, was all smiles and it seems as though he was trying to look more jubilant than his men. The breast of many members of the regiment were adorned with French decorations, and it was noticeable that some were speaking French when conversing among themselves. For over a year the New Yorkers were associated with French soldiers and there are men in the regiment who are said to speak French fluently. On the left sleeve of each fighter is white rattlesnake, coiled to strike, or a field of black. The slogan that goes with the insignia is: "Don't tread on me." 200 of Original Members Killed. Of the original two thousand members of the old 15th, two hundred were killed and more than 1,300 have brought back safe and sound. Both Wednesday and last Sunday thousands of colored civilians were greatly disappointed over not seeing the returning soldiers parade. In each instance the home-comers did not leave the dock and were taken by transfer boat to Long Island where they boarded trains for Camp Upton. When the Stockholm docked Wednesday two of the first to greet Colonel Howard were Major Lorillard Spencer, who formerly commanded the Third Battalion, and Major David A.

It is thought that the request will be granted. Did Great Fighting. After being two months in a training camp near St. Nazareth the 369th Regiment joined the 161st Division of the French Army, under General Gourraud, and went into action on April 8, 1918, at Main de Massiges, Champagne, and had 191 days' continuous fighting. The heaviest fighting was on Sept. 26, when the regiment went into action with 20 officers and 700 men in the battalion in the morning, and at the close it had 7 officers and 150 men left. The boys advanced steadily like seasoned veterans and never lost a foot of ground they had taken or let a prisoner escape. The Germans became so frightened at the appearance of the Negro troops toward the finish that as soon as they saw them coming at them with the cold steel they would throw up their hands and yell "Kamerad." After the fighting on Sept. 26 the regiment went back for five days' rest and was then transferred to the Vosges front with the 7th French army, where it remained until the armistice was signed. These troops took part in two of the biggest operations of the war, and it was chiefly their efforts that stopped the Germans in July when they fround that they could not make any headway against the Americans. In seven days' fighting in the Vosges the old 15th took 4 77-millimeter guns, 250 machine guns, and 400 prisoners. The soldiers fell into the French methods of attacking the enemy as if they had been moulded for it. The French Generals and officers were enthusiastic in their praise of the Negroes in action, and at rest camps with their singing and other forms of entertainment they were: the riot of the countryside. The 369th Regiment were the first American troops to reach the Rhine at Bloedelsheim on November 18, after a hurried march from Thann in Alsace. The Age, Fred R. Moore white people of South Carolina.

Miles of the 371st infantry has recommended that General Pershing award Prof. Cook, a Y. M. C. A. worker, a Distinguished War Cross for aiding wounded members of the regiment until gassed during the great Champagne offensive in September. Prof. Cook went with the men to the front line trenches and rendered valuable aid. When gassed he carried on his person more than 150,000 francs, which boys in the regiment had given him to keep when they went over the top. He was walked over for more than an hour before discovered. The money was on him when he lost consciousness and taken by Regimental Sergeant Major White, who sent it to general headquarters at Chaumont. When Prof. Cook was discharged from the hospital and made inquiry about the money it was returned to him. Not a cent was missing. Prof. Cook resides in Kansas City, Mo., where he is a teacher in the Lincoln High School. He is on a leave of absence.

Rewrite: No, it's not a valid sentence. CORONA. N. Y A. New Audience. The return of the 309th Regiment, formerly the old Fifteenth New York Infantry, marked a triumphal epoch in the history of the colored population of New York this week. The fact that this regiment was made up mostly of New York men, who come back after having achieved a most notable record for their regimental organization, their greeting could not fail to reach the top round of all that was genuine and hearty in vocal demonstration on the part of those who went down the harbor to greet them. The members of the 309th deserve everything possible in the way of enconnium for the manner in which they have acquitted themselves as men and soldiers. The story of their numerous achieve- ments has been told at length through the columns of THE AGE, so fully and with such zealous attention to details as to provoke the inquiry from a member of at least one other organization as to whether THE AGE knew that there were other regiments engaged besides the old Fifteenth. But that was soon disposed of by printing the records of the other colored regiments, who had also written their names high on the page of glorious achievement. But the peculiar fact remains that the Fifteenth was made up of the men from New York and its environs who volunteered for the defence of the nation. They were transformed from ordinary everyday youths to regular soldiers in the course of a few months, within the sight almost of their friends and neighbors. None who witnessed the final review of the regiment on Central Park meadow just previous to its departure could forget the changes wrought in its personnel. Its record throughout the great war has been such as to arouse the pride of all the home folks. Its return with the record of having performed its whole duty at all times and in all places is one that entitles it to all the honors the home folks can heap upon it. Its record of achievement and endurance has not only won fame for the organization, but reflects everlasting credit on the race with which it is identified and the city whence it came. All honor to the officers and men of the old Fifteenth and a cordial welcome homel BRISBANE AND THE BOCHER. Recent events in the world's history have awarded the palm for brutality of thought and action to the Boche, as exemplified in the teachings of Bernhardi and the practices of German generals. But Arthur Brisbane, who bought the Washington Times, with the money contributed by German brewers, was tried to outrival Bernhardi and his followers. In-his, paper of January 30 he attacks President Wilson's suggestion that the German colonies taken from Germany be internationalized, cared for by the nations combined, and, presumably, allowed to run themselves as soon as they are mentally full grown. In true Boche style he makes the following brutal comment: Judging by photographs of native gentlemen carrying German officials on their shoulders, and by costumes, very primitive, of native ladies carrying bunches of bananas on their heads, how long will it take those ladies and gentlemen of German Africa to grow up to self-determination? It will take certainly, not fewer than five hundred or a thousand centuries. What changes will occur in that period? And must the United States, during those years, do its share of governing and policing far off in Africa? Most seriously the world must ask what the result will be if the powers succeed in protecting barbarous people against outsiders and against themselves, thus enabling them to breed ignorance and savagery on a gigantic scale, protected from the processes that would kill them off. Suppose we had fed, protected, encouraged, and multiplied our red Indians along the Atlantic, instead of killing them as rapidly as possible? We should undoubtedly have thirty or forty millions of them now. What a race problem would that present? What race problems are the wellmeaning peace delegates preparing for future generations if they succeed in checking processes that have been wiping out inferior types for the last half million years? Mr. Brisbane leaves it unsaid as to whether he would continue the extermination of the natives by Boche methods of machine gun slaughter, or leave them to practice self-extermination in tribal wars as in earlier times. He evidently does not take into account the fact that the introduction of the civilization of the white man in Africa has had the effect of greatly increasing the mortality of the African races, as testified by Dr. Blyden and other writers on the subject. Evidently Mr. Brisbane does not believe that the war was fought to make the world safe for democracy. So we must acquit him of hypocrisy, at least. While Mr. Brisbane was evolving mathematical problems as to racial development, it would have been of interest to have had his calculations as to the number of centuries it would require to devolve an ordinary type of civilized manhood from a group of Southern white lynchers who murdered in cold blood a defenceless woman bearing an unborn child for no cause but pure blood lust. A MISSISSIPPI BOURBON. The Daily Commonwealth is the name of a white newspaper published at Greenwood, Miss. It carries the names of J. L. & S. Gillespie as editors and publishers and styles itself as "Mississippi's livest little big newspaper." In its issue of February 5, under the caption, "Good Many Negroes Are Registering," it published the following article: Circuit Clerk G. S. Pate informs the Daily Commonwealth that a good many Negroes are applying at his office and registering for the purpose of voting in our elections, according to their statements to him. Our advice to these Negroes, and all other Negroes who contemplate registering, is that they had better get this idea out of their heads as soon as possible. The Negroes are putting along mighty well with the white people of Benroe County, and have been for some time—and they ought to have better sense than to think that they will ever again have the remotest chance of voting in our elections. Such a thing is simply unthinkable, and the sooner these Negroes who have registered—and those who contemplate doing so—realize this fact, the better for them. Therefore, the thought should be speedily banished from their misguided minds. This shows the survival of the buildingozing instinct in the "misguided minds" of the Bourbons of Mississippi, who seem incapable of forgetting anything of the past or learning anything of the present. These Bourbons are due for a rude awakening, sooner or later, as to the meaning of true democracy. From the looks of things it is liable to come sooner than most people realize. The murder by a mob in Berlin of Rosa Luxemburg and Dr. Karl Liebknecht moved the New York Sun to declare that "a German can be as lawless as a Georgian." As lawless, perhaps, but hardly as barbarous. The Huns of Tennessee and Georgia still maintain their preeminence in savagery and barbarism. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1919 VIEWS and REVIEWS A few days ago William Jennings Bryan, we were on the point of saying the late William Jennings Bryan, paused long enough in the lobby of the senate to administer a lecture to the Southern Democrats on their responsibility in the pending vote on the suffrage amendment. He pled with the Dixie Senators not to handicap the Democrats of the North by compelling them to spend the next twenty years explaining to the women of the country why the Democratic party prevented submission of the amendment. In the course of his talk he said: "Suffrage is coming in this country, admitted by the next Congress as soon as Congress. This is our last chance to plead about this reform, and it is a matter of Democrats of the northern Mississippi, the charge that our party prevented it is now known that it is coming, whether or in spite of them." On Monday the vote was taken, the vote. A single additional vote should have given it the necessary two-thcoming. Thus, the Southern Democrats in hoped their party in the North; in states Rights, they forced the Prohibition North, and, making the States Right commission of the suffrage amendment, passed. There is inconsistence with the reason why they defeated the vote. The Southern Senators have them face. They were determined not to men of the South. Vardaman and they fear the colored women as colored man. The Senators may feel that they are the South, and in that there is no man; but if they feel that they have recently out of the vote, they are not have two results. The first will be in the next elections. As Mr. Norming to the women of the North for newly defeated the amendment. The setting of the interest of the North in sixth and Fifteenth Amendment to the We do not know, and most likely that comments the German press will United States Senate on Monday, he will be made with the newly formed given full suffrage to the German. This bit of U.S. history illustrates Negro is woven in the woof and war just as well realize that they may be of good without working him any him an injury without working them ended for the colored women of the. We upon the heads of the white women. There will evidently be some interest of the North start striking back. coming in this country and the work next Congress as soon as it meets, it is our last chance to play an important form, and it is a matter of vital politics in the northern Mississippi Valley shall not our party prevented its submission, that it is coming, whether with the aid of them." By the vote was taken, and the a single additional vote from the Domen it the necessary two-thirds, but Southern Democrats in the Senate party in the North; in violation of all they forced the Prohibition amendment, making the States Rights a fetish, the suffrage amendment, which there is inconsistence with a vengeance why they defeated the suffrage action. Senators have themselves proclaimed not to give the South. Vardaman and Williams in the colored women as a voter more likely may feel that they have done and in that there is no doubt some feel that they have kept the vote, they are nursing a false results. The first will be the defensible next elections. As Mr. Bryan said, women of the North for the next amendment. The second result, interest of the North in the enforced tenth Amendment to the Constitution, now, and most likely will not be put the German will make on this Senate on Monday, but we feel safe with the newly formed German suffrage to the German women. U. S. history illustrates, as so many men in the woof and warp of this nation realize that they may be able to do without working him any benefit, but without working themselves hard colored women of the South lands, heads of the white women of the North evidently be some interesting time north start striking back. "Suffrage is coming in this country and the world. It will be submitted by the next Congress as soon as it meets, if not by the present Congress. This is our last chance to play an important part in bringing about this reform, and it is a matter of vital political concern that the Democrats of the northern Mississippi Valley shall not be burdened by the charge that our party prevented its submission, especially when it is now known that it is coming, whether with th aid of the Democrats or in spite of them." On Monday the vote was taken, and the amendment failed by one vote. A single additional vote from the Democratic majority would have given it the necessary two-thirds, but that vote was not forthcoming. Thus, the Southern Democrats in the Senate have doubly handicapped their party in the North; in violation of all their traditions of States Rights, they forced the Prohibition amendment on the unwilling North, and, making the States Rights a fetish, they prevented the submission of the suffrage amendment, which the North wanted to see passed. There is inconsistence with a vengeance. The reason why they defeated the suffrage amendment is plain, for the Southern Senators have themselves proclaimed it with loud voice. They were determined not to give the vote to the colored women of the South. Vardaman and Williams have both admitted that they fear the colored women as a voter more than they feared the colored man. The Senators may feel that they have done their patriotic duty to the South, and in that there is no doubt some personal satisfaction; but if they feel that they have kept the colored woman permanently out of the vote, they are nursing a false idea. Their action will have two results. The first will be the defeat of the Democratic party in the next elections. As Mr. Bryan said, they will be explaining to the women of the North for the next twenty years why they defeated the amendment. The second result will be the quickening of the interest of the North in the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amen ment to the Constitution. We do not know, and most likely will not be permitted to know, what comments the German press will make on the action taken by the United States Senate on Monday, but we feel sure some comparison will be made with the newly formed German Republic which has given full suffrage to the German women. This bit of U. S. history illustrates, as so many others do, how the Negro is woven in the woof and warp of this nation. His enemies had just as well realize that they may be able to do themselves some sort of good without working him any benefit, but that they cannot do him an injury without working themselves harm. Here the blow intended for the colored women of the South lands with even greater force upon the heads of the white women of the North. There will evidently be some interesting times when the white women of the North start striking back. THE PROGRESS OF PEACE. Peace does not seem to be making gathering in Paris. To the man that he cannot discern whether "new democracy" or drifting back ding still. However, this much is clear: man he accomplished around the peace t not seem to be making any very Paris. To the man in the str cannot discern whether they are m acy" or drifting back to the old is much is clear: many of the drow ed around the peace table have Peace does not seem to be making any very rapid progress at the gathering in Paris. To the man in the street things are so vague that he cannot discern whether they are moving forward to the "new democracy" or drifting back to the old autocracy or just standing still. However, this much is clear: many of the dreams of what was to be accomplished around the peace table have vanished. One of the dreams that the common people of the world indulged in up to the end of the war, the dream, in fact, upon which all their other dreams were fed was that whenever peace was made, it would not be made as of old bydiplomats and heads of governments, but by the peoples themselves. The British Labor party, voicing the hopes of the workers of the worl, proclaimed that as the war was a war of peoples and not of governments, peace would be laid down by the peoples and not by the governments; and that it would be a peace not only for the abolishment of war, but for the abolishment of class distinctions, of economic inequalities, and of poverty. Whatever sort of peace comes out of the Conference at Paris, whether of the old or the new order, it is being planned by the heads of governments and diplomats and not by the peoples. The peoples have no more direct representation in this peace settlement than they had in the peace settlement o fthe great war on hundred years ago. Still, if they have a mind to, the heads of governments and the diplomats assembled in Paris can give the world a lasting and far-reaching peace. The question is, have they the mind to do it? Thus far, two great ideas have partly emerge dfrom the mists: the league of nations and the internationalization of conquered colonies. Neither of these ideas has been very definitely formed, but it is something that they have emerged at all. It seems quite probable that we shall have same sort of international association for the prevention of war, and that the division among the conquerors of subject peoples and their lands as spoils of war will not be permitted. The emergence of both of these ideas is due to the persistence of President Wilson. Indeed, President Wilson is playing a lone hand at the Conference. It appears evident that he will not get much from the delegates of the other powers except what he is able to force from them. He seems to have the support of the working people of England, France and Italy, but there is a noticeable absence of enthusiastic support from the same classes of people in the United States. The plain people of the United States do not appear to be much interested in what the Peace Conference decides. Perhaps this is because the people of the United States are the most benighted in the world regarding questions of international politics. They know very little about leagues of nations and less about German colonies. The thing which interests them is the fact that the war is over and business can go on as usual. Nevertheless, the people of the United States will have to shake off that brand of ignorance. The country from the days of Washington down to the Spanish-American war, maintained its position of isolation. The Spanish war entailed the possession of some islands and a loosening up of our provincial reserve. The great war just ended lias plunged us headlong into the whirlpool of European and international politics. We can't stay out now even if we wanted to. Perhaps the United States will be a more intelligent country and a better place to live in when it is more deeply concerned with the doings of all the people of the world. "DON'T WORRY." Perhaps there is no phrase that is more often repeated in giving advice than the phrase, "Don't worry." In a general sort of way, it may be good advice, but it does not, as some people seem to think, contain the seed of, all wisdom. There is a certain kind of worry that is needless, that accomplishes nothing that saps the strength and will. But there is another kind of worry that is necessary to success, that concentrates the will power and re-enforces the strength. It is a waste of time and strength to worry over what is past and cannot be changed, but it is the height of wisdom to worry over what is yet to come, over what is still within your power to shape to your own best welfare. Of course, there are some people who do not worry over anything, past, present, or future; but such people themselves are not worth worrying about. What I want to say in particular about the phrase, "Don't worry", is that it has very little application to us as a race. If there is any one of our racial characteristics that stands more prominently than another, it is our freedom from worry. And, yet, we have more just reason for worry than anybody else in this country. One of the keys to the white man's dominance is his ability to worry wisely about the future. Worry of that sort gives most of us the headache. That is why we see so many colored men fall fast asleep with their mouths wide open as soon as they take a seat in the subway or on the elevated cars; nothing, absolutely nothing to worry about. If the ten million or more Negroes in the United States worried wisely over their future, it would give the white people of this country so much worry that they would be glad to give the Negroes what they were entitled to. The trouble is, as a race, we don't worry enough. We are too happy-go-lucky for these strenuous times. It might be well to laugh and sleep life away on some island in the shade of a cocoanut tree, but in this high-geared American civilization, where you have got to keep up or be run over, we have got to learn to repress some of the hearty guffaws and be able to wrinkle our brows and think through some of the hard problems of life. We have got to learn that life, at least in these United States, is not merely a "good time"; that to get the very best out of life requires some pretty serious business. As a race, we need to learn how to worry intelligently. A SEARCHING QUESTION In nearly every paper we may see accounts of plains that are being met by patriotic people all over the country to safeguard the returned American soldier, and make his lines pleasant until he can secure employment and resume his old place in society. Reservations, amusements, club saloons and other commendable undertakings have been promoted to show America's appreciation of the sacrifice that have been made by the boys who entered their lives that we might live and enjoy the comforts of civilization and that "government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." These enterprises make our hearts swell with pride. We're gratified that this republic is not tormental; that our citizenship is appreciative of the heroism on the boys who have caused the world's youngest army to be regarded as the most formidable. But when we inquire into the workings of these commendable schemes the fact is brought to light that the evidence of national gratitude are for the soldiers of white skins only. Thus far no concerted effort appears to have been made to safeguard the colored soldier. History, of not only this war but the Spanish-American war, proves that the colored soldier, who had no press agent to boom his valor, was among the bravest of the brave. In no instance here or "over there" have the colored troops over shown the yellow streak. Many of them taken from indoor occupations and Southern clinics and subjected to great hardships from change of elements, have made no complaint. And they have never been found wanting on the field of battle. During the progress of the war, when the troop trains were going through Savannah, it didn't the colored troops received the most considerate attention from the noble women of the Red Cross, who served all wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam without favor. And the behavior of the black boys was marked by the modesty that characterizes the boys. But now that the war is over and the Negro soldiers are gradually returning, we hear of no organized effort to his uplift. He will not be admitted to the Y. M. C. A. or any other society that welcomes the white soldier. He would have difficulty in getting into a theater. While all agree that the white soldier must be amused, there is no amusement for the Negro soldier but the crab game or the saloon. An illustration of the workings on the present system, or lack of system, was given last week in the arrest of a returned colored soldier down in one of the numerous courts of the city. This man had come back practically penileless, and had no employment. He went to the home that had been occupied by his wife during his absence and was looking for work. It will be remembered that in the glorious, progressive city of Scranton there is no employment for a Negro save as hoothlack 'hotel-waiter or ash man. And the returned soldier of African descent cannot pick up a job as easily as can a white hero. While this man was endeavoring to find employment the police descended on the house where he lived and took him to that is more often repeated in giving it worry." It may be good advice, but it does not look, contain the seed of, all wisdom.erry that is needless, that accomplishsa and will. But there is another kind to success, that concentrates the witlength." Its strength to worry over what is past is the height of wisdom to worry over that is still within your power to shape of course, there are some people who must, present, or future; but such people crying about particular about the phrase, "Don't be application to us as a race.

To the credit of Director of, Public Safety Ripple, it is said that he did not approve of the $25 fine imposed on the soldier, who did not have 25 cents, probably. And it is likely that the fine will be remitted and the man will not free. But it is the condition of affairs that needs readiness if there is any humanity left in this community. It is time that the old color line prejudice was blotted out and that the Negro had a chance with white soldiers, taxation, and other citizens so long as he has his way and assumes his share of the burdens imposed by the government. While this is not offered as an excuse for the man who was arrested on the charge preferred by the police the other day, it is safe to wager that if this man had been allowed the opportunity to secure honest employment that is given the white soldier he would never have been in the police station of Scranton. Say, Christian people, patriotic people and fair-minded people, is it not about time that the Negro was given a square deal? SAFE AND SANE To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE THE AGE is by far and wide the ablest Negro paper in the country. It takes high ground touching all matters of individuals, states and nations. It is sane and safe. Its leadership is commanding and worthy. Send it on. PROF. L. P. HILL ON ROOSEVELT Camden, N. J.—Sunday, Feb. 9. The Camden Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People save a Roosevelt memorial and launched a membership campaign which will last a week. About fifty new members joined. Principal Leslie Plinkney Hill of Choyney Training School for Teachers, delivered the memorial address. He spoke of Roosevelt as being a man of seven distinct qualities, five of which we would do well to imitate, namely: 1—Physical fitness. 2—Industrious; nobody ever saw him waste an hour. 3—High, clean life, unquestionable character. 4—He had courage in the right. 5—Never got so high that he could not go to the House of God, or send word why he was not in his seat. In conclusion he asked us as a race to be proud of one another, he proud of the work the N. A. C. P. is doing. Be proud our hands are clean of lynching, and of the many other things that are done unto us. Raise up on this high moral plane and look down upon our oppressors with pity. For if they continue, with the Kaiser they must go. R. M. Taylor, secretary; J. Steward Braithwaite, president, and Dr. C. T. Branch, captain of the Roosevelt Campaign Team, were the speakers for the membership campaign. The Rev. H. W. Cummings gave the welcoming address. CARROLL DOING GOOD WORK IN S. CAROLINA ATLANTA, GA.—No one in South Carolina is doing better constructive behavior than to bring about friendlier relations between the races in the State than the Rev. Richard Carroll of Columbia. He is one of the strong personalities in South Carolina and is highly respected by both white and colored people. Of course, the Rev. Mr. Carroll has his methods and goes about his efforts to accommodate racial conditions in his way; but it is admitted even by his critics that he gets results. The Rev. Mr. Carroll is now not spoken in his criticisms against race injustice than any Negro in South Carolina; but even the radical element of the State who hear him advocate the ballot and ask for other rights to choose an American citizen is just entitled to not breathe vengeance as usual in the case. They know he has the interests of all the people at heart. Then they appreciate his policy of finding fault with the white South at home instead of going up North and making flery speeches. "One of the finest expressions ever used by a biographer is, "The common people heard him gladly." It is even to but few men to voice the feelings and aspirations of the great masses of a race in such a way as to stir them to action. The power to interpret these feelings and aspirations to another race is even more rare. Preaches in White Churches. Praecies in White Churches. The Rev. Richard Carroll is one of those rare men, who, while fast-paced pleading the cause of his own people and always and everywhere loyal to their best interests, is at the same time in constant demand among the white people, and is very highly regarded by their leaders both political and religious. His voice has been heard in every neck and corner of the state. In fact, he has preached or lectured in every state in the Union. He has preached in more white churches in the South than any Negro preacher, and sometimes in his home-state of South Carolina preaches for two or three months at a time in the white churches, which is unusual. He is a native of Barnwell County, having been born near what is now the town of Denmark, just before the outbreak of the war on November 2, 1861. His mother, Rhoda Rice, was a slave in the Carroll ho. She was brought from Alabama to South Carolina. Her mother was half Indian, so that her subject-bears in his veins the blood of three races—Indian, White and Negro. The Rev. Mr. Carroll has been taken married. His first marriage was October 1, 1881, to Miss Mary Magdalene Sims, a daughter of Isaac Sims. She bore him four children; Ruth, Brainard M. I. Barrett, Richard, A. B. Seymour and Mary Carrie Carroll. Subsequent to the death of his first wife, he was married on November 18, 1914, to Miss Corrie莉 McDaniel, a daughter of Darling and Ellen McDaniel of Laurens County. As a boy, the Rev. and Mrs. Carroll attended the public schools in Barnwell County. He did his college work in Benedict College and Shaw University. Of this period of his life he says: "I was poor and entered school with a daughter and a half. I had to work my garden, milling, building fires, etc. In the later years I received help from Mr. E. M. Wray of Elmira, New York. He began preaching at a small Baptist Church in Barnwell County. He soon attracted attention and it was not long before he was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Greenville, where his success was nothing less than personal. He was soon in demand, not only as a preacher, but also as a lecturer. His wonderful success as an evangelist led to his employment by the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Victor L. Masters, the superintendent of that Board, writing of the Rev Mr. Carroll says: "I have known Richard Carroll practically all my life. We are both native South Carolinians. He is greatly honored by the constructive citizenship of the state, both white and black, and is a Baptist minister, and has a marvelous gift of effective public speech. The history of his life would include several chapters in which he exhibit dea kind of heroism impossible except to a good and fearless man, who loves God and his fellow man more than himself. Brother Carroll is now working as one of the evangelists. The Home Mission Board among Negroes. In this service he has exhibited wonderful powers of organization, and of teaching the people, both to save them and exhibited a kind of heroism impossible to utter this word of testimony." The late Senator Tillman of South Carolina, said: "The Rev. Richard Carroll is a colored man highly intelligent by the white people of South Carolina. He has always borne a good reputation and has a great deal of sense." The Rev. Mr. Carroll is a Mayor. He has not been active in politics. When asked how in his opinion the best interests of the race are to be promoted he responded: "I am busily engaged in lecturing to both races all over the country, and pleading for justice for the Negro. Justice in the courts and an opportunity to make a living. I believe if the Negroes were given justice and encouraged to develop their minds and own property, what is called the Negro Problem would be solved. Above all Christ's precepts must be followed all men in my states and all over the universe before the Negro can reach his place." The home life of the Carrolls is ideal. The family is made up of the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll, who are greatly devoted to each other, and a daughter the evangelist's first wife. The Rev. Mr. Carroll displays much kindly interest everybody and everything about the home, even taking time to train the animals which come and use best and call. IN UTTER DARKNESS.

A STRICTLY FIRST CLASS PLACE FOR FIRST CLASS PATRONS THE MACEO Neatly furnished rooms for patrina- THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS National Vaudeville Artists, Inc. to Establish Colored Branch BY LESTER A. WALTON OFFICIALS of the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., have gone on record as favoring the formation or a branch for colored performers. It is understood that before many weeks this plan will be put into effect by taking in the Colored Vaude- ille Benevolent Association. In answer to a letter making inquiry whether the colored vaudevillian was to be admitted to membership in the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., the dramatic editor of The Age received the following letter from Henry Chesterfield, secretary of the organization Your letter * * * received. We have had numerous requests from the colored performers in vaudeville relative to their joining this organization. Up to the present time, as many of them will substantiate, their cases have been acted upon and verdicts rendered just the same as though they were members. It is the hope of this organization to form a branch for the colored performers where they can have their own officers and club rooms. I have taken the matter up on different occasions with the different representatives of the C. V. B. A. We hope soon to get in our new quarters, when the matter will be definitely settled. Thanking you for your letter and also assuring the colored performer of true justice, I am, You're very truly, (Signed) Henry Chesterfield, Secretary Mf. Chesterfield's letter has the right ring to it—particularly the assurance contained in the last paragraph. The officials of the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., propose to apply the practical principles of DEMOCRACY in dealing with all members of the theatrical profession. THE AGE commends them on this one hundred per cent American stand. The Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, properly reorganized and with more modern and practical aims and objects, should be the proper organization to represent the colored performer in the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc. For the past five years the association has not been virile and influential as it might have been. Members have failed to pay their back dues and others in the profession have failed to put their foot inside the club in months. Bob and Jim Slater have had uphill work keeping the association on the map because of lack of co-operation. Now that the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., has evinced a willingness to give the colored vaudevillian a voice in its party councils, it remains for the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association to meet this newer and more favorable situation in a kindly spirit and with a broadness of vision: and above all common sense. The attention of our colored and white readers is directed to the downright meanness of some Americans—white men who are disinclined to give the colored citizen a square deal. I refer to several critics on New York dailies who earn a livelihood writing about Sunday concerts and things musical. Even at this hour with race heroes returning to the United States, black boys who risked their lives to make the world safe for democracy, you will find these writers deep-rooted in their prejudices and unwilling to give loyal Americans just recognition. To be more specific, I refer to a number of writers on daily papers in the metropolis who, to date, have refused to publish a line about the success of the Clef Club in Sunday night concerts at the Selwyn Thea- Dear Mr. Walton: You're very truly. The Unamerican Critic. tric. Some will not take the trouble to visit the Selwyn for even thirty minutes on a Sunday evening and learn for themselves the character of entertainment furnished by these clever colored musicians. Of course there are exceptions to the rule. It is the same old story. In New York we have critics with preconceived ideas on all matters dealing with amusements. Often they do not deem it necessary to "cover" an entertainment as they already have passed judgment on it. In many large towns in the South you will find less prejudice among the critics when it comes to "writing up" colored entertainments than in Greater New York. With the latter oftimes it is not what the public enjoys but what they think the public ought to enjoy. The large and appreciative audience, composed mostly of white people, have convinced Deacon Johnson and his associates that they are giving the public a unique and enjoyable musical entertainment, and that the organization's future is pregnant with great possibilities, despite the attitude of some white critics. We hear oceans of talk about one hundred per cent Americanism. Lately there has been some discussion about adopting a plan to make the foreign-born element in New York more thoroughly American. With the white critic gladly giving space to some foreign piano player, violinist or dancer, and on the other hand completely ignoring and refusing to encourage Americans in their efforts to give America its only distinctive and original brand of music, it would seem that the process of Americanization should begin at once, and that more than the foreign-born will have to be freed from their un-American mental shackles. "THE TWO ORPHANS" AT LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK "The Two Orphans," that famous melodramatic success which for years has been the sensation of both continents, will be the attraction offered by the New Lafayette Players at the Lafayette Theatre the week of February 17.

Pay Tribute to the Memory of Theodore Roosevelt serves rendered by him on behalf of the Negro race, make it imperative that the Committee on Resolutions should appreciate of those serv- ers of the undying gratitude of the team for the same. Particularly the committee call attention to an address delivered in Carnegie Hall in the late Colonel Roosevelt, imme- dately following the carnival of Lagerstaff in East St. Louis, in which serves of Negro men and women were struggled in utterances on the occasion alone were sufficient to dear him to the hearts of Negroes. Throughout the nation there is genuine sorrow among Negroes over the passing of Colonel Roosevelt. When he beached his last there came to Negroes the felling of a loss almost great.

Scott on Roosevelt. In his address on "Theodore Roosevelt In His Relation to Negro Education," Hon. Emmett J. Scott said in part: "Colonel Roosevelt early in his career espoused the cause of the black man, not because of any especial love of the black man, but because of his love of justice. He saw that the black man was weak, almost defenseless, and was not getting the thing which he later termed 'a square deal.' His idea of (playing the game) of life was to be absolutely on the level. Never in all of his battles did he hit below the belt or strike an antagonist who was down. Democracy, Liberty, Justice, Equality and Brotherhood were not meaningless words to him—he believed in them as he did in Holy Writ, and practiced them in his daily walk, without fear of criticism from the narrow-minded and regardless of those who set up the accident of color as a fetish for worship or disdain. He was the black man's friend, when that black man was worthy, because the black man needed (friendship more than any other type of American citizenship. White, of itself, spelt not superior; black, of itself, was not a badge of dishonor." "Colonel Roosevelt was a friend and Colman Roosevelt was a friend and champion of practical education. He believed that all education should be for service, be that education classical, cultural, professional or industrial. Knowledge that could not be translated into something worth while was considered by him as worthless. "An echo of his attitude in the Spanish-American war is found in the speech delivered by him while President, on the occasion of a celebration in Springfield, Illinois, at the tomb of the immortal Lincoln. And during the surrogate, he not in his chivalry, but in his bravery and emphasis. It is a good thing that the guard around the tomb of Lincoln should be composed of colored soldiers. It was my own good fortune at Santiago to serve beside colored troops and I found none better nor braver. A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square 'deal afterwards. More than that, no man is entitled to, and less than that, no man shall give.' Was not this the utterance of a patriot, a statesman and a 100 per cent American? "Comparable with the foregoing examples of pure manhood was Roosevelt's declaration, which he quoted from Lowell. I am for all men up, not some men down." "While the Great World War was still in progress, Colonel Roosevelt, on November 2, 1918, delivered the last public address of his long and brilliant career at Carnegie Hall in New York City under the auspices of The Circle for Negro War Relief at a meeting held to celebrate the prowess of Negro soldiers overseas. With body racked the with pain, his great heart struggling to give its impulse to the struggling mass about him, and with a premonition of the end, no doubt, lurking in his inner consciousness, Colonel Roosevelt spoke again his time-honored declaration for a square deal and contended that the Negro soldier who was battling in the Argonne Forest, at Chateau Thierry, at St. Mihiel, and at Champagne, should be given full participation in the enlarged liberty which he was making possible for all. A Man of the People "Theodore Roosevelt, though born to the purple, was essentially a man of the people. An aristocrat by birth, this Prince of Democracy was the sturdiest champion of the masses this Nation has known since Abraham Lincoln. His guardianship of the welfare of the plain people came not because of any furtherance of political ambition (although he was not immun to the plaudits of the populace when earned in service), but from an inherent love of justice for its own sake, for the happiness it brings to mankind, and from his hatred of all that smacked of pretense, sham and the denial of an inalienable right to the humblest citizen. He has the dash of the Knight Errant and the resistless energy of the mountain torrent, coupled STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR. Not with hot irons. But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and wick a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor anything else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is no another preparation in the world like it. Offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But it will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair; kinks no more. Remember Kink-no-more is sold under a to-do list that is claimed for it or money refunded.

It appears to be a blank or partially obscured document. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. with a sagacity and comprehension of a situation that enabled him to give to every movement the full force of his power without the loss of an atom of strength in chimerical undertakings. He knew how to conserve his own magnificent resources and to draw upon the best that was in his helpers. He was strong himself and gathered about him the strongest coadjutors of his day and generation. Thus he got results the concrete demonstration of wisdom. Roosevelt was a constructive statesman - a militarian in thought and morals. Colonel Roosevelt was a firm believer in the survival of the fittest; that every man must demonstrate his ability and willingness to pull his own weight; yet, his philosophy always led him to equalize the gauge of battle by throwing around the weaker combatant the strong arm of protection and the reinforcement of practical sympathy. He insisted that the giants should play the game according to the regulations and that absolute justice should be guaranteed to the feeblest in the ring. "More nearly than any other man in public life in the past three decades, colonel Roosevelt, in his immense championship of equality of opportunity and his devotion to the idea that the guarantee of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness should apply impartially to every American citizen, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of virtue, embodied the sterling principles emunciated in the days of the past by the sturdy fathers of human freedom." Was a Friend of Woman. In her address, on "Roosevelt the Friend of Woman," Miss Eva D. Brown said: "Just one short month ago the future world was attempting to free itself from the horrors of war and turn its back upon the three past years. With the new year the forward look was toward Peace. That Peace which in truth and deed would be the Peace which the angels heralded so many centuries ago. So! one morning at the breaking of a new Theodore Roosevelt. World Citizen having dared to meet heroically human problems often under adverse criticism. Having braved the stern duties of an eventful thrilling life slept quietly on into new realms to continue The Great Adventure. "The people of the United States both friend and foe forgot their differences both real and imaginary and mourned their loss with sincere and genuine mourning. All will honor his memory and accord him deathless fame. "Much has been saint of him from the standpoint of President, Statesman, Soldier, Historian, Explorer, Naturalist, Orator and American. For a few moments may we consider him as a Friend of woman. With his many virtues he indeed portrayed himself the strong man that he was by fearlessly expressing himself concerning the status of man and woman. "He believed not in the identity of function but most decidedly in the equality of right. That woman must bear and rear the children as her first duty to the state and the man's first duty is to take care of her and her children. In neither case is it the exclusive duty. In neither case does it exclude the performance of other duties. The right to vote no more implies that a woman will neglect her home than a man will neglect his business. "The woman is entitled to just as much education as the man; and it will not hurt her one particle more than it hurts the man. It may hurt a fool in either case; but no one else." Internet in Woman in General. "He showed his interest in women in general, and in particular, in his unimpeachable attack on race suicide and his condemnation for the woman who neglects her home and children. Roosevelt both spoke and voted for Woman Suffrage when a member of Legislature." Interest was shown from the beginn- ing our work from personal observation by Mrs. Roosevelt and then by Colonel Roosevelt in attending the opening of the Attacks at Camp Union, N.Y. "Quite a while after this event while sitting at my desk one day, there came a telephone call with a man's voice at the other end inquiring into our work and that of other agencies. This information given I asked whom he might be and the answer came Oh, never mind, you'll know very soon. And true enough we did learn, for the newspapers announced shortly thereafter of the distribution of the Nobel Peace Prize by Colonel Roosevelt of which $4,000 was the sum given to the Young Women Christian Association to be used for colored work and it was asked that Miss Eva D. Bowles be consulted in the distribution of this item. Believed in. Negro Leadership. "Back of this was the thought, which Colonel H. H. Reeve expressed at Carnegie Hall, on the occasion of almost his last appearance in public that he believed in leadership a humminging its own womb and thus it was that he wished this matter to be administered by a colored person because in the organization which she represented there was equal representation at the council table and it was in the equal term basis that he believed. "As a trace we are thankful for Theodore H. H. Reeve and his true spirit of democracy. As women we are grateful to be as a champion of the cause at all ages. As colored women we will ever serve him for helping us to come into our own." We are women meet the needs of this great day of the Lord, large-hearted and large mindful, giving what service with a wrist and sturdy heart remembrance that the process in the heart and political power involves the date of faithfully and thoroughly using it. May we be forgiven for so often looking in the limitation of our lives instead of realizing our limitless power through the power of Jesus Christ. "May we be raised from our amateurish slaves in making use of that Power. May we be large hearted in helping. May we be generous and constructive in criticism. May we keep from unkind words. May each Home set a noble Standard of love, beauty, order and freedom, and may we each and all so live that we may carry on the spirit of this so great men may also torch bearers in the Great Adventure."

We are given the hardest work in the war, and the bravest are weog. We handle the heavy bones and protect the white soldiers and sailors work in the night, we burrow below like a mole. But somebody has to do this work or the soldiers could not fight! And whatever work is given a man is good if he fight. We are the Army Stewardores, and we are volunteers. We did not wait for the draft to come and put aside our fears. We were given the windy pat at the very first call of our lords. And each of us offered a willing heart to the strength of a brawny hand. We were Stewardores, and work as we must and may. The cross of honor will never be ours but the men at the front could not be there, and the battles could not be won. If the Stewardores stopped in their dull routine, and the landings, somebody has to do this work, be minded that it isn't you! We are the Army Stewardores—give us our fuel!
