The former Governor of the State of Carolina did not give a direct reply to the questions except to say that he had a larger following among the colored people in the State than any other man, and that he was a Jeffersonian Democrat; that he believed to the victor belonged the spoils which money he carried out, when elected Governor. He cited the instance of demanding the resignation of a president of one of the colored colleges shortly after he took (Continued on Seventh Page) GUERRE WINNERS OF THE The National Negro Weekly.

Owing to the inability of race representatives from the United States to secure passports less than a dozen delegates are present from this country. Fifty delegates are in attendance, representing the United States, West Indies, South and Central America, Africa, Great Britain, Portugal, France, Liberia and Abyssinia. A Negro population of 457,000,000 is represented. The call for the congress stated that the time had come for the interests and welfare of the Negro to become articulate instead of relying upon philanthropic effort, and that there can be no stable League of Nations unless the Negro's interest is safeguarded.

This included the field, staff, headquarters and supply company, medical detachment, Companies A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

A. Rothwell, who is in command, said that the men were aplendid fighters but encountered severe opposition in the forest where German machine guns were tightly hedged in by burped wire and mounted by menmen who all had the Iron Gren.

Navy To Provide Employment For Discharged Soldiers --- Discharged soldiers and unemployed civilians of the race, if physically fit, will be permitted to enlist as machinists and electricians in the United States Navy. This information was given The Age by Navy officials at the recruiting station, 34 East 23d street. A communication was received by The Age asking its co-operation in giving newspaper publicity to an announcement headed: "A Job for Every Returned Soldier." As it was the policy of the Navy during the war to enlist colored Americans as mess attendants only, officials of the recruiting office were asked if the Negro was to be permitted to serve as machinists and electricians. "We mean all discharged soldiers, colored and white," was the answer. Recruiting officers state that the Navy is opened a school for machinists at arleson, S. C., and a school for electians at Hampton Roads, Va. Men the machinists' school are enlisted as on 3rd class. While in training are paid $3.00 per month. They receive their clothing allotment, foods meals per day, dry, comparters in which to live and allks and practical working tools. n for this chance to become pro n a very necessary, trade, all that d of those enlisting is a knowl of common fractions, ambition to the machinist trade, energy and a attention to the instructors and instruction given The subjects taken up throughout the course are arithmetic, note book sketching, practical engineering, theoretical engineering, clipping and filing, drilling, pipe fitting, repair work, reabbiting, brazing, tin smithing, lathes, shapers, milling machines, grinders. Thus it will be seen that one is getting practically two trades, machinists and engineering. The advantages of the school can easily be seen. A man gets the highest grade of instruction, regardless of cost of material and tools. The best text books that can be had are available for their use. The lecture rooms are open for study at all times until 10 p.m., each night. Men of the School are quartered in newly-constructed parracks to themselves, equipped with modern conveniences. ARMY MEN CRITICISE HANGING OF SOLDIERS Washington, D. C.—Criticism by Army officials of the prevailing attitude of the Judge Advocate General's office and contention that the military tribunal is not judicial and its jurisdiction is defined in regulations, have been the cause of court martial records for the past fourteen months being given to the public. The failure of the Judge Advocate General's office to give President Wilson the right to confirm or set aside the sentence of the members of the 24th Infantry for participation in the Houston riots is brought up as an important case in point. On November 1, 1917, sixty-three Negro soldiers of the 24th United States Infantry were brought to trial before a general court martial at San Antonio, Tex., for their participation in riots at Houston the preceding August, in which fourteen persons lost their lives. On December 9 thirteen of these men learned for the first time that they had been found guilty and would be hanged two days later. The public was so exercised over what was characterized as a "legal hanging" that President Wilson directed that in the future all similar cases be brought to his attention for final adjudication.

She is survived by her husband, serving in a pioneer company in France; a daughter, fourteen months old; father, mother, four, sisters, a brother, many relatives and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Funeral was held Tuesday, Feb. 4, from her late residence, 121 Laurence street. LAURINBURG, N. C.—The sudden death of Sergeant Richard Berry was quite a shock to his many friends. Though a native of Hillsboro, N. C., he had been with the W. P. Evan's firm of Laurinburg, N. C., for eight years, first as bookkeeper, then as assistant manager. This position he held at the time he received his call to the colors, August 2. Sergeant Berry possessed excellent business qualities. As manager of the post exchange of Récruit Camp No. 2, he did all of the buying for the exchange and audited the books. From here he was transferred to 810th Pioneer Infantry and was immediately made Recimental Supply Sergeant. Sergeant Berry made many warm friends both at camp and in Charlotte. He leaves to mourn their loss a wife, Annie Juanita, daughter of the proprietor of the W. P. Evans firm; a mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Berry, four sisters, three brothers, two of whom are with the colors in France, and the other one at Camp Upton, N. Y. Not on the field of action. But nose the leas for freedom, He laid his young life low. LINCOLN DINNER AT CORNING. Corning, N. Y.-Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Watkins, Mr. and Mrs. Calthoun Lee and Mrs. Alpha Dickenson delightfully entertained a number of their friends at a Lincoln's dinner party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Watkins, 360 Wall street. The affair was given in honor of Col. and Mrs. Wm. Merrell, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Storey of Bath and Sergt. Gussie Freeman of Corning, who has just returned from overseas. Covers were laid for twelve and the table was effectively decorated for the occasion. After partaking of a sumptuous repas, the guests retired to the parlors where they were joined by others who were invited in later to spend the evening. Those present were Col. and Mrs. Wm. Merrell, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Storey of Bath, N. Y., the Misses Carrie Robinson, Jennie Robinson, Lydia James, Mesdames Manlove, Smith and Hester and Messrs. James and Freeman of Corning. During the evening Col. Merrrell was called upon to make a speech. He made a few brief remarks concerning the Negro and the opportunities which are now being afforded to him; he commended Sergt. Freeman for his gallantry and bravery, admissing him to ever press onward and upward to uphold the blood-stained banner in which his forefathers did in days of yore for the freedom and protection of their race. We wish to note here that the colonel is not only a man of words, but of deeds; he is an untiring, worker for the uplifting of his race. After being heartily applauded, Sergeant Freeman was then called forward. Young in the cause and modest in speech, he won the admiration of his listeners. We are proud to observe that our soldier boy is wearing the gold stripes, the one on the right arm for being wounded, while the one on the left is a signification of service rendered in the great world war. Little Miss Evelyn Cole gave a registration on the late Hon. Theodore Riiswelt, "The Great Patriot," followed by the reading of Lincoln's address on the battlefield of Gettysburg by Miss Mabel Lindsay.

Dickerson and W. W. Chisum, Sergts. R. C. Craig, D. E. Norman and Kenneth Bellups. When the parade reached Fifth avenue and Sixteenth street the Police Band dropped out and proceeded to Harlem, where it dispensed music for those seated in the unofficial reviewing stand. Prominent Officials Present. Among those in the official reviewing stand were. Governor Smith, former Governor Whitman, Acting Mayor Moran, Secretary of State Francis Hugo, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, Gen. Thomas J. Barry, Vice-Admiral Albert Gleaves, William Randolph Hearst and Rodman Wanamaker. Prominent men also viewed the parade from the Union League Club, among whom were Henry L. Stoddard, Captain Satterlee, Major General Appleton, J. Van Vechten Olcott, Supreme Justices Hall and Stover, General Bridgeman, General Thomas, Charles W, Anderson, Fred R. Moore, J. H. Anderson, George W. Harris and Lieut. Herbert Gee. Fifth avenue gave Col. Hayward's braves a noisy welcome, but in Harlem the greeting bordered on a riot. Amid exciting scenes and the band playing "Here Comes My Daddy Now," the "Hell Fighters" marched between two howling walls of humanity from 136th to 138th street. A nose unshaven stone nose stood in front of a worm from the roof fops thousands stood and whoooed things. Flags and pennants bearing the letters "Welcome, Fighting 15th" were waved energetically on Fifth avenue by white and colored, rich and poor, but in Harlem so frantic did many become that they threw pennants and even hats away. It was a wild, wild reception. Many of the state and city officials, including former Governor Whitman, were in the unofficial reviewing stand at Lenox avenue, between 134th and 135th streets when the regiment passed. Most of the seats were occupied by colored residents of the section. "Tin Hats" Attract Attention. The "tin hats" (the French steel helmets) worn by the fighters attracted the attention of the Harlemites as much as further down the Borough. Not a few devoted their time to counting the number of decorations that adorned the breasts of the boys in line. The Croix de Guerre was awarded to nearly two hundred members of the regiment, a record made by no other American regiment. At 145th street the parade disbanded, but not until the "Hell Fighters" were given a taste of their own medicine. In France they rushed the Hun and made name and fame, but in Harlem their colored admirers, in a desire to get near, rushed them. It was fully fifteen minutes before any of the heroes could get away from the cheering throng and reach the subway.

JOHNSON, Contributing Editor London Office, 17 Green Street, Charlton Cross Road, R. C. Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW YORK AGE. The Negro press strongly protests against lynching, but it overlooks the fact that there is such a crime as lynching by word of mouth. THE AGE refers to the vicious and unwarranted assault being made by a few unprincipled colored publications on Dr. R. R. Moton. They report that he advised colored troops in France not to insist on their rights upon their return to America. Never was a bigger or more vicious lie told. Any soldier who heard Dr. Moton will bear out this assertion. Getting a little advertising by vilifying our big men seems to be quite a diversion just now. Dr. Moton rendered splendid service in France, and it seems that a few individuals are envious of the honors accorded him by American and French officials and the distinction he justly earned as a race representative. THE SOUTH AWAKENING Signs are not wanting of a dawn of sanity and reason in the discussion of racial differences in the South. Not so many months ago THE AGE urged the wisdom of the leading men of both races in the South getting together for conference upon mooted points of variance, with a view to an amicable adjustment upon a basis of justice and square dealing. That such a course of procedure is not out of question was indicated by the observations and the experiences of the Editor of THE AGE in his recent trip through South Carolina. With prominent men of the race belonging in that section he came in contact with representatives of the whites, who were willing not only to talk reasonably on the so-called race problem but also to listen to the arguments advanced by the representatives of the Negro race. These representatives of Southern white opinion, many of whom stand high in politics and finance, have come to admit that the Negro as a race has genuine grievances, which should be remedied, before he can be expected to be satisfied with his present position in the body politic. How far they are willing to go to aid in the redress of these wrongs and to aid in bringing about the coming of a true democracy remains to be seen. However, a gain has been scored when leading white men of the South can be brought to admit that there are two sides to the Negro question, and are willing to discuss the problem with spokesmen of the race, especially with one from outside their own section. It may be that the far-sighted white leaders and thinkers of the South are coming to realize the fact that no great progress is possible for that section as long as it encourages the reign of injustice and race discrimination. As long as mob law and lynching and other forms of oppression are permitted by the passive consent of the community, the South will not be regarded as a safe place for immigration or investment. While the Negro may be the present sufferer from the reign of lawlessness, the prudent investor and pioneer of any race or color, will give a wide berth to the sec- tion which throws no safeguards around the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. As a measure of self-interest and self-protection, the leaders of the South should do their utmost to bring about the reign of law and order. Blessed with climate and productiveness, the South should blossom like a rose and draw men and money from many quarters. Instead of that, it is driving away one of its greatest assets by its unjust treatment of the Negro. When its thinking men begin to realize this and can discuss a way to bring about a change, it marks a sign of awakening. May this spirit of awakening prove contagious. THE ATLANTA WAY. Two Negroes in Army uniform were recently arraigned in the Recorder's court at Atlanta, Ga., charged with being caught in a raid on a pool room. One of them made the following plea: "We had done a lot of hard work in the army and thought we would rest up a little before going to work again. We were just shooting a lil' pool, Judge." "You can't loaf in Atlanta," ruled the court, assessing fines of $11 each against the Negroes. The Atlanta Georgian tells of this proceeding with the admonition that "service records are not going to be of much avail to discharged soldiers in Recorder Johnson's court." Evidently the anti-loafing ordinance is going to be enforced rigorously against Negro soldiers in Atlanta. The arrest of a returned colored soldier in Scranton, before he had found employment, moved the authorities to remit his fine, and the Scrantonian in advocating the opportunity for honest employment, asked editorially, "Is it not about time that the Negro was given a square deal?" Contrast the Atlanta way with the Scranton way. AMAZING INOCENCE Listen to this amazing innocence handed out by a disingenuous editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer in answer to an inquiry as to disfranchisement in the South: If many people in the South are deceived of the right to vote, it is not "on account of their race, color, or previous condition of sex outside," but because they are illiterate—a restriction which few sensible men will object to and which applies to white men as well as to colored ones. This is enough to make a mule laugh, to say nothing of a Southern Bourbon. The guileless writer on the Inquirer has evidently never heard, or conveniently forgotten, about the "grandfather clause" and the "understanding the constitution" provision, which facilitate the voting of white illiterates while barring those of darker skin. The Inquirer should encourage the reading of its Southern exchanges by its editorial force, as well as the utterances of Southern statesmen. It would not then have cause to blush at such an exhibition of innocence or ignorance, as quoted above. BLACK SHIPS FOR NAVY. BLACK SHIPS FOR NAVY. That is a remarkable suggestion presented by a member of the United States Naval Reserve for the manning of black ships in the Navy, that is with Negro commanders, ensigns and crews. That such a solution of the race question in the Navy was once proposed in Congress and profounded impracticable does not bar it from further consideration. At all events it sounds as consistently inconsistent as the entire matter of race discrimination and segregation, especially when conducted under a government of the people and by the people and for the people. Would the Hon. Josephus Daniels, who has administered naval affairs with such rare judgment and solicitude that the Negro should serve only as mess attendants, favor such a proposition? It might accord with his ideas of the fitness of things. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1919 FIRST UNDER THE VICTORY ARCH. thousands of soldiers have returned from the regiment to have an official parade and to receive welcome from the public is a colored regiment of New York.

And our heartiest welcome to this great fight, lieutenant "Jim" Europe and his wonderful b Many thousands of soldiers have returned from France, but the first regiment to have an official parade and to receive an outpouring of welcome from the public is a colored regiment, the famous Fifteenth of New York. Not only was a colored regiment, the Fifteenth, the first to receive the sort of welcome that New York alone can give, but also the first to pass under the magnificent Victory Arch which is being built at Madison Square. The welcome which New York gave the Fifteenth is proof certain of the regiment's popularity and fame. There was no other attraction to draw out the thousands of people who crowded the line of march; and the fact that they stood and waited in the bleak air was in itself a great testimony to the regard in which New York holds its "I'll Fighters." And the boys deserved every bit of the outburst of enthusiasm which greeted them. Their heroic exploits have been made common history by the New York newspapers. It was known that the colors of the regiment bore the Croix de Guerre and that 171 of the men had won this French decoration. But aside from their deeds of heroism, the very appearance of these black soldiers was sufficient to make New York's heart swell, with pride. This city has seen many regiments of soldiers march up Fifth Avenue, but all that have been seen heretofore were green soldiers, soldiers who showed consciousness of an effort to keep step and look brave. The Fifteenth furnished the first sight that New York has had of seasoned soldiers in marching order. There was no militia smartness about their appearance; their "tin hats" were battered and rusty, and the shiny newness was worn off their bayonets, but they were men who had gone through the terrible hell of war and come back. There is a line somewhere in the Bible which says that the last shall be first. This prophecy has come true so many times and in so many ways for us as a race that we ought to have faith that it will finally be completely fulfilled. According to the natural order of things, the Fifteenth should have gone to Europe and fought in the same division in which the other regiments of New York State troops were placed. But when the other side was reached, they were brigaded with the French, and with the French they fought through the war: Here is a regiment of black men, who won more distinction as individuals and as a regiment than any other unit in the New York Guard, and perhaps more than any other single unit in the whole American army. One of them, Henry Johnson, was the first soldier in the whole American army to win both the Croix de Guerre and the French Palm. The entire regiment was cited for the Croix de Guerre and 171 of the men won the decoration by individual deeds of bravery and valor. The regiment was in front line trenches 191 days, and is reported as never having lost a foot of ground and never having lost a man by his being taken prisoner. This regiment captured many trenches, many prisoners and many guns. It was farthest to the front of any American regiment when the armistice was signed; and was the first America nregiment to place foot on German soil. We wonder how many people who are opposed to giving the Negro his full citizenship rights could watch the Fifteenth on its march up the Avenue and not feel either shame or alarm? And we wonder how many who are not opposed to the Negro receiving his full rights could watch these men and not feel determined to aid them in their endeavor to obtain these rights? We extend our heartiest welcome to this great fighting regiment and to Lieutenant "Jim" Europe and his wonderful band. THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH Right Rev. Dr. Charles Gore, Bishop of Oz by some weeks ago he preached the need of "Bishop Gore, who is an ardent advocate ons, declared that the universal Church would universal State. in which he preached in one of the New York d: is no other way to save our civilization except the fellowship of nations as a basis of peace. When the Right Rev. Dr. Charles Gore, Bishop of Oxford, was in this country some weeks ago he preached the need of "the universal Church." Bishop Gore, who is an ardent advocate of the league of nations, declared that the universal Church would have to accompany the universal State. In a sermon which he preached in one of the New York churches, the Bishop said: "There is no other way to save our civilization except a proclamation of the fellowship of nations as a basis of peace. Thank God that your President has made himself the prophet of a league of nations! Thank God for the courage of our statesmen! We want this same courage in the Church, which must become the leader of nations in asserting the principle of human fellowship, forgetting sects and thinking only of a catholic church without the distinctions of race, sex, language or nationality." There is much to be said in favor of what Dr. Gore wishes to see brought about, and there is much to be said against it. The main argument against it is that all men do think alike and cannot be made to think alike regarding religion. Once there was a universal church, but that church could maintain its universality only by keeping men from thinking for themselves; as soon as men began to think for themselves, they began to differ in opinion, and these differences of opinion led to the forming of different sects. Since the whole Christian religion is founded on the doctrines of Christ and His associates as given in the one book which is authority in all Christian churches, it seems, at first thought, that there should be only one church. But on second thought it can be seen that it would not only be difficult but impossible to establish and maintain a universal church; and for the simple reason that different men interpret the same doctrine differently. And there is nothing that men will fight over more bitterly than differernt interpretations of the same doctrine. They do not fight so hard over entirely distinct doctrines. There are some things within the sphere of human knowledge over which men do not and cannot differ very long; they are the things which are either already positively known or are within the possibility of being known. But in matters of religion, one man's opinion is as good as another's. If a man believes that heaven is a city where the streets are paved with real 18-carat gold, that the angels have feathered wings, play on harps and feed on milk and honey instead of being merely a beatific state of the soul after death, who has the proof or the authority to make him believe otherwise? Or if one thinks that hell is a place where the thermometer constantly registers 999 in the shade, where the devil and his impes throw sinful souls on red-hot gridirons, baste them over with burning brimstone and stick them with pitch-forks to see when they are well roasted, he has as much right to his opinion as one who thinks hell is merely a guilty conscience in this life. Nevertheless, in spite of all the difficulties in the way of a universal church in which everybody would believe the same doctrine in the same way, the Christian churches would gain tremendously in power and influence if there were less dissension and more unity among the various sects. This applies more strongly to the colored churches in the United States than it does to the churches at large. I have often said that it would be a good thing racially for us if all the colored people in the United States belonged to one church. Through such an organization the race could quickly gain an industrial, a financial and a political influence which it will yet be a long time in reaching. One of the elements in the rapid rise to power of the Irish in this country was the fact that nearly all of them belonged to one church, and they could be reached so as to act together and at once in their own best interest as occasions demanded. The Negro, no doubt, gains religiously, just as other men, by having independence and freedom of doctrinal beliefs, but he loses a great deal in the racial strength which comes from solidarity. He loses strength from the division into sects; he loses by the way in which one sect often weakens itself by needless divisions. I was looking over some statistics the other day of a city in the South, a city of 150,000 inhabitants. In that one city there were 148 colored churches, divided as follows: Episcopal, 1; Congregational, 1; Presbyterian, 2; Church of God, 3; Methodist, 47; Baptist, 92; Miscellaneous, 2. Think of it! 47 Methodist and 92 Baptist churches in a city with only 40,000 colored people of the church going age. If all of these 40,000 went to church, they would average only 270 members apiece for all the Methodist and Baptist churches; and for the whole 148 colored churches there would be an average of only 266 members. The Negro in America will, perhaps, never have a universal church; the Negroes in Africa may all become Mohamedans, and that may prove the best religion for them. But if the American colored churches cannot reduce the number of sects, they ought make some effort to reduce the needless number of duplications within the same denominations. If, say the Baptists or the Methodists, or any other denomination, would make a rule that there could be only so many churches of that denomination to each thousand of colored people in any one city, the people would be better off, and the churches too.

But there is one paragraph to which we wish to call special attention now. It is the fifth paragraph of Article 19, and reads as follows: Other peoples, especially those of Central Africa, are at such a stage that the mandatory must be responsible for the administration of the territory subject to conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience or religion, subject only to the maintenance of public order and morals, the prohibition of abuses such as the slave trade, the arms traffic and the liquor traffic, and the prevention of the establishment of fortifications or military and naval bases and of military training of the natives for other than police purposes and the defence of territory, and will also secure equal opportunities for the trade and commerce of other members of the league. The thing which stands out here is the proposal to prevent the natives of the colonies of South Africa bearing arms as a part of the military forces of the colonies. The same plan is carried out in the Southern states, where no Negroes are allowed to form a part of the National Guard. NEGRO PRESS ON ROOSEVELT In the death of Colonel Roosevelt, the colored race loses a friend that had the courage to act toward them upon the principle that fitness and not color makes one eligible to hold office in the United States.-Raleigh (N. C.) Union Reformer. Mr. Roosevelt was every inch a human with a big, generous heart which no doubt won for him unprecedented popularity. When President he said his policy was, "All men up and no man down," and that statement emanated with him throughout his grand career. That he was a friend to the colored people stands uncontradicted.-Louisville (Ky.) Reporter. On his visit to San Antonio several years ago, while President, he addressed a large audience on Alamo Plaza, and in speaking of the colored people, he particularly referred to the black boys who saved his life at San Juan Hill in 1898, during the Spanish-American war. His true friendship for the race was demonstrated until the last.-San Antonio (Tex.) Inquirer. In his sudden taking off the Negro race in America sustains an irreparable loss. One of his most recent acts, before his last illness, was to appear at Carnegie Hall with other leaders of the race to welcome Needam Roberts, one of the heroes of the war, and give expression to the kind of democracy the Negro should expect from the country for which he had so nobly and heroically fought—Baltimore Commonwealth. A great many people did not agree with his policies and neither his politics, whether he ever admitted he was honest and believed that the one controlling and guiding principle in our American life should be "every man up." The bitterness and rancour aroused in the breast of the colored people on account of dismissing the colored soldiers without honor for "shooting up" Houston, in the perspective of passing years, mellowed down to a mere difference of opinion. Portsmouth (Va.) Vigil. B-I-G, big in the fullest sense, you could see in Roosevelt's discussion of a League of Nations or anything, else that he was seeing "even the sparrows." In office or out, he stood upon the hills of justice, and declared against mob violence and hate, he was an apostle of the state, that the state derived its profits from its citizens, trained citizenship, and then he had to venerate his convictions into possible the league of nations in this issue; we But there is one paragraph to which on now. It is the fifth paragraph o those of Central Africa, are at such a be responsible for the administration ditions which will guarantee freedom set only to the maintenance of public on abuses such as the slave trade, traffic, and the prevention of the estab- tary and naval bases and of military than police purposes and the defence are equal opportunities for the trade ers of the league. It here is the proposal to prevent the Africa bearing arms as a part of the The same plan is carried out in the roes are allowed to form a part of forms. There is a great lump in the throat of black men to-day. The Flag of Love shall stand at half mast in our souls forever, for we shall have a golden memory that shall always be as "the scent of the roses," we shall regard the memory of Theodore Roosevelt as zealously and as jealously as were guarded the golden apples in the orchard of Hesperides.-Oklahoma City Black Dispatch. He was a man, true to his convictions and loyal to his country. He sacrificed self and sons for American liberty and independence. He defied them and exercised a will power that no other American possessed. He opened the door of hope to the colored Americans and closed it when they had hoped to enter and have themselves crowned with the diadem of the Republic.-Washington Bee. The ardor of his activities in our behalf has surely given incentive and encouragement to our discouraged people. We sincerely believe since the introit of Theoreloe Roosevelt into the National Venna, that the Negro has been able to do more than to greater hope, and demonstrate that we were like other men, as good as other men, as worthy as other men, and are men—Detroit Leader. Not an incident in his wonderful career but reflects the grandeur of his character, the loftness of his conception of the duties of citizenship. The only incident which has ever called forth any criticism from our people was his decision to dismiss a company of the Twenty-fourth Infantry on account of the shooting-up of Brownville, Tex. He knew that if these men had been brought to trial in Texas (and they could not have been tried elsewhere) their hope of a fair trial was groundless and the whole company would have been hanged or imprisoned for life, just as was done in another instance in that same state. It may have been that the men were more guilty or at least were guilty of a greater offense on account of the existence of war and needed to be more severely dealt with, yet does anyone believe that a single one of those whom Roosevelt's "disinfected" would have fared any better had they been brought before a civil tribunal in Texas Roosevelt not only saved them from the Twenty-fourth Infantry from the travesty of a trial but also saved Texas from the disgrace of having butchered men who had done horrible murders for the nation.—St. Louis Charles Over 300,000 members of our race have or now are sharing the gold and honor bestowed upon the two million Americans who did such noble work in the battlefields of France and in the in perilized war zones, during this wide struggle for democracy. These black boys have gained unified recognition, besides special mention for their splendid service by our French and English service by everything possible has been done to boost their progress and welfare. A special representative has been safeguarding their success in the War Department. How about the 8,000 Negro boys in the U. S. Navy? Has anything been done to help them? Is anyone safe guarding their success in the Navy Department? No, nothing is done to help them whatever; they have had to fight their own battles alone, and they have fought good and hard. Just like their brothers in the Army, they have remained in service, and their brilliant deeds of bravery and valor have caused them to become a colossal force in the Navy Department. Our boys have displayed their natural intelligence and memory so conspicuously on more than one occasion that they must be considered, and are being considered. "Black ships" might solve in a very short time, the entire race question in the U. S. Navy, is a recent suggestion expressed by members in the service During the Talt Admiral训, while the Hon. Geo. von L. Meyer was Secretary of the Navy, a bill was introduced by a certain Southern regiment providing for certain Navy to be assigned to Navy units, the majority of the officers and a still larger portion of the enlisted men (Officers and black) were in favor of the bill but it was rejected. It was branched as impracticable. The idea of "black ships" does not carry with it the idea that our boys are not wanted in the Navy, but as a copy from the success in the Army of our black regiments, who have their black colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants and so on down the ranks, why can't we back commanders, lieutenants, personnel, police officers, and have men who have rendered officer service in the Navy and have the necessary brains, skill and experience, but are denied the opportunity. Take, for instance, the records of John Jordan, a Negro of Virginia, who was chief gunner's mate on the U. S. S. Olympic during the Spanish American War, and was the man who fired the first shot at the enemy at Manila Bay, Salisbury Brooks, a Negro chief electrician in the construction of the new epoxy in the construction of the art of the tleship; Matthew Anderson, a Negro who is chief instructor on the U. S. S. L. sex, the government training ship at Norfolk. He has trained thousands of men now officers in the art of seamanship. There are hundreds of men like these, who could easily form the nucleus of crews and absolute success would be obtained. There is a recent issue of "Our Navy" a thoughtful letter expresses the opinion of the enlisted men in general, how in the service; "Whether you like the black man or not, whether you believe in a spirit deal for him or not, you can't point at accusing finger at his patriotism, his Americanism or this fighting ability. It is fair to neither the white man nor the black man to have the black man compete with the white men in the Navy. True, we have black petty officers here and there in the Navy, and in many black chief petty officers. It stands to reason that these must be mighty good men to compete. They surely must have known their business—very inch of it—to advance to these ratings. Yet they are not wanted in these ratings, because these ratings involve the black man having charge of white men under him. Outside of the messman branch you will find comparatively few Negroes in the Navy today. "There should be "black ships" assigned to be manned by American Negroes. There are days of democracy, equality and freedom," says this writer of Our Navy magazine. "If a man is good enough to go over the top and do for these principles, he is good enough to promote in the Navy. Why not try it? Put the black men on their own ships. Promote them, rate them, just the same as the white man. But also all the men on their own ships. It is fair to them and fair to the white man. The Brazilian and Argentine carriers have black ships." The black sailor man has been pleading for years that his color has been a bar to him. Here would he be chance a ship of his own. Then he would pitch in and do all within his power to make it a success. The white man has the confidence in him that he will make good.

Strassburg is a gateway to Germany, for on the other side of the Rhine ig Kehl, which is reached by crossing the bridge. This bridge is now under control of the French, and fo one can pass without the consent of French Army officers, Even returning Alsatians who have served in the German Army are not per- mitted to comeback to their native heath withont the prope: papers and sanction of the French. «lt is estimated that nearly 25,000 soldiers who iought under the banner of the Kaiser have crossed the bridge since the close of the war and allowed to return to Akace and take up permanent abode amid relatives and friends. On this bridge may be seen men, women and children of German sympathies, who are sent out of Strass- burg to Kehl with fifty pounds of cloth- ing and personal effects. Unlike Metz, more German than French is spoken in Strassbur, The naracs of the streets remain unchanged, Tateheas woud arise were the popula- tion ordered tovtéad UntyBrench signs. Too many of them speak German, In many of the eating places the menu cards are written and priated in German. Y ate in one restaurant where the menu card was written in French and the wine card in German. One read “carte du! jour.” the other “wein karte.” Particularly in Strassburg the busi- ness ‘people seem to be making a deter- mined effort to publicly declare their| lovalty to France by displaying signs in profusion reading “Magasin Francais” (French Shop") and "On parle fran- cais.” ("French spoken here"). "Vive le France.” "Vive Poincare” and “Vive Clemenceau” are also conspicuous, Ta may of the stores of Semen one finds & babel of tongues.

The scarcity of sosp; sugar and coffee io distinetty noticable in Alsace and Lor- raine, Even in the best hotels soup ix like » im algebva—en unknown quantity. Ii you do not bring it with you your toilet will be made without soap, for hotels do,not fornish it. . . Very little candy or pastry is seen in Strassburg, Metz or Colmar, and in the majority of instances your.cup of coffee is made from chicory. On a Saturday evening ‘while in Strassburg I chanced ‘to pass a store where a large crowd had congregated and intently gazing into the showwindow. My cariontty was araur, ed and in joined the much-interested throng. A considerable quantity of cof- Kaiser had the statue changed to look fee and sugar met my gaze, and upon inquiry 1 learned that the natives had Not seen so-meuch coffee and sugar since the war’ and that the sight was an un- asual one to them. 3 One evening while cating dinner at a hotel in Metz a party of well-dressed Frenchmen entered and I was surprised to sce that one of them carried a long. loaf of bread which was unwrapped. Upon inquiry I learned that the party) had only recently arrived from Paris and knowing that no white bread was ob- tainable in Mctz had brought several loaves along: that whenever they ate they would take their bread with them, Stracshury is a city of 165,000 inhabit- ants. There are 50,000 French soldiers stationed there in addition. It is said to have been in existence before the birth of Christ. The citizens take great] pride im pointing out the Strascburg Cathedral which was completed in the Fourteenth Century and’ which has an astronomical clock, regarded as one of the most beautiful’ pieces of mechanism of our age. It was built by Schwilgue and has a dial nine metres in circum- ference. It is no uncommon sight to see the American flag displayed with that of the French or the picture of President Wil- on occupying 2 point of “vantage hroughout Alsace and Lorraine.

Mrs. Talbert was as delightful as ever and sang with her own inimitable graciousness of manner, Her- voice is of a charming .quality and thowgh a close listentr might have caught a fleeting suggestion -of a little tire (for Mrs. Talbert has been very busy with engagements) she gave a large amount of pleasure to her hearers. Mr. Hayes sang delightfully, too. He is av artist and his tones are clear with a bell-like ring not always attained by the voice of tenor quality.

The International Peace Congress "with no limitations to passports if applied for in time," for "the settlement of the issues growing out of the world war," held at John Wesley, A. M. E. Z. Church, Tuesday night, under the auspices of the Freelinguysen University, was a very interesting-mock affair and shows, along with many other signs and wonders, that the race has begun to think in world terms as well as in local terms, after a fashion. The announcement of the speakers is in world terms as follows: "Prof. Kelly Miller, the logician of the race; the Rev. James L. Pinn, the historian of World Movements;" Prof. John R. Hawkins, who has blazed the way for the reconstruction of the United States; R. R. Higner, the fearless advocate." Thomas H. R. Clarke, the historian of Modern Times, and others. All of this sounds world-embracing enough, and is bound to broaden the vision of those who get in the gleam of the light white of it. J. W. Davis, Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, has gone to Atlanta to help the people get their just share of school funds donated by a Northern philanthropy, and which an effort is being made to divert to other parties.

Prof. Thomas M. Dent was seen Sunday afternoon last, with his two soldier sons on. You street, one of them just back from France and wearing the dandy uniform of a real captain.

Several meetings were held looking toward memorial services for Col.

The novelty of the season, perhaps, was the indoor picnic Friday night, under the auspices of Miss Kitty B. Bruce and others. A large and appreciative audience greeted Joseph H. Douglass in a violin recital. Cole Blease and Others Discuss Race Problem (Continued from First Page) office in order to appoint one of his colored friends. To convince me that he believed in the Negro and took notice of cases in which the race had been unfully death with, Governor Blease pointed out an instance in which he charged with criminally assaulting a white man and sentenced to life imprisonment. After examining the evidence the prisoner was discharged. Although criticised for liberating the man, Governor Blease said he felt that he did his duty. Imprisoned—Trumped—Un Charged. Imprisoned Trumped-Up Charges. He told me he had pardoned other colored men who were in jail on false charges, saying: "I could show you from the records in my files, just how these charges were trumped up, and you will find upon inquiry from colored people just how they feel toward me. Nine out of ten will express confidence in me." Governor Blease mentioned his personal interest in one of the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church, who is one of his legal clients. He failed to express himself on "Jim Crow" cars. During our entire conversation the ex-Governor was frank and courteous. Afterwards I called on another leading South Carolinian, a man of power and influence, who was outspoken in criticism of the Northern Negro and Northern white man. I refrain from giving his name as he objected to being interviewed, saving that if I called to interview him he would refuse to talk. We discussed, without reservation, "social equality," the right of the Negro to ride on Pumkin cars and his right to confuse voting and riding on Pullman cars with "social equality," and said he was in particular opposed to the colored man voting at this time. He declared unhesitatingly, however, that the Negro would ultimately get the ballot which would come with education. Negr and the Ballot. He referred to the time when the colored men had the ballot and was used by carpetbaggers to the disadvantage of the State. I showed him that the Negro's participation in politics in South Carolina years ago and in Congress had been beneficial; that many of the laws on the statute books of the State had been put there by his co-operation and his vote in the legislature in that day had never been repealed. I contended that if the colored man was discriminated against on account of ignorance why not discriminate against the ignorant white man on the same basis. He did not care to argue this point but thought that when the Negro became more reliable and lived up to contracts he would be accorded better treatment in many respects. I asked if he did not think white people were chiefly responsible for colored men not keeping contracts since white people broke and cheated the Negro out of his honest toil. Since emancipation he said this was true in some respects. This gentleman felt that the colored man's dollar should measure with the white man's dollar in everything except riding on the same railroad cars. While he advocated separate cars he thought the same kind of service and accommodations should be given the race. He did not believe in the mixing of the races and said if the Northern Negro would cease discussing his desire for social equality there would be 'a better feeling. I replied that like other Southern white men, he seemed to have a nightmare on the "social equality" subject and permitted it to haunt them during their sleep and daily walks; that the race had so many variegated colors we never worried or took time to discuss women of the white race; that while in the North friendly relations exist in many of the Northern cities, white and colored children went to the same school, and many of the colored teachers taught white children. I had yet to find after they grew to womanhood and manhood a desire to mingle socially, as each went his or her own way and marriage was never discussed. I told him if the South would do away with what they call tradition, which made them miserable, and paid more attention to giving the Negro a square deal they would be relieved of much wortment. Riding in a Pullman car where a white man occupied one berth and a colored man the other was not a question of comfort. I palmed itILITY with personal comfort. I contended. While we on some points and disagreed on others our conversation was pleasant and without ill feeling. Bank President Broad on Human Rights. Next I called on Mr. Wiley Jones, President of the Palmetto National Bank, who greeted me cordially. He is a good Episcopalian and told of his deep interest in the Negro and of how many he employs on his plantation. He related how embarrassing it was to send orders to them when they cannot read or right, and was hopeful that they would get education. His employees were a faithful lot, he said. Mr. Jones believes that the Negro should enjoy all the rights and privileges to which he is entitled by the Constitution of the United States. He believes he should vote and should have education. He is of the opinion that the good treatment soon will accord better treatment. The colors he saw in France was commended for his bravery and Mr. Cooper declared he was willing to do his part in any reinstatement that would bring about better relations between the races. Mr. Cooper hands money-to-colored people on the same terms as white people. Many Negroes have kept accounts in his bank for years. Governor Cooper Program. Governor Cooper favorably impressed me, although he is broad on some questions and narrow on others. He expressed himself frankly and said he intends to be Governor of all the people of the State. He favors compulsory education. It is reported that he contemplates recommending that the chain gang system be done away with. The Governor favors prison reform and is planning to take colored girls out of the Peninsula and put them in re-education programs along industrial lines, given spiritual guidance and recreational advantages. On the question of the ballot Governor Cooper deems it unwise to give the Negro the right of franchise at present. While a few Negroes vote in South Carolina the chief executive of the State thinks the race will be able to use the ballot properly in his State when our people become better educated. In his opinion such a change will take place in fifty years. Governor Cooper charged many Negroes of unreliability, saying it would be more encouraging to the white people of South Carolina if they worked regularly six days each week, kept faith and recognized contracts, and asked who should responsibility this condition he replied to perhaps the indifference mistreatment of the white people were to a degree responsible. He admitted that probably better wages and proper protection under the law would stimulate and give the Negro encouragement. He promised to stamp out lynching. After spending from forty to fifty minutes with Governor Cooper, who was polite and affable at all times, he regretted his inability to give us more time as he would like to have talked longer. Banker Has No Prejudices. Mr. W. A. Clark, President of the Carolina National Bank, an ex-Confederate, who, I believe, is nearly 80 years old and a very fine man, assured me he was absolutely devoid of prejudice and believed in justice to all men. He spoke of colored people who had been with him for twenty-five to forty years, their faithfulness to him and his faithfulness to them. He believes in settling the problem by the Golden Rule, and said that he was doing his part in living up to that rule. Negro depositors always get fair treatment in his banks. One of his best friends was a colored man whom he had known for twenty-five years. He attended the funeral on which occasion six ministers officiated. In Florence, S. C., accompanied by Dr. J. R. Levy, I called on the Postmaster who spoke highly of his colored employees and his interest in the Negro—also of his desire for a better day for the Negro. From there I called on the sheriff of the county in the interest of the Boys' Reformatory, situated at Columbia. I urged that the inmates be accorded decent treatment, as they had no religious services, no educational advantages of any kind. Some had been in prison for thirty years and had forgotten their names. I assured that the inmates would be transferred from Columbia to Florence, amid better surroundings and where interest would be shown in them similar to that taken in white boys. While in Bennettsville I saw a Mr. McCall, a leading cotton broker and banker who, while friendly, was rather critical of the Negro. He made mention of the unreliability of the many members of the race and brought up their weakness for buying an automobile before owning an acre of ground. The colored people, in his opinion, were well treated in South Carolina. He said he wished there were more like Jonas Thomas. The editor of the local paper in Bennettsville thought the race had no complaint to make in his town. He did not favor giving the Negro the ballot or permitting him to sit on juries. One prominent public man thought the Negro made a mistake leaving the South, his idea being that climatic conditions were against him. He was inclined to think that the going into the South of Northern white people in large numbers would solve the problem in the South. I assured him that white people in the North would hesitate about going South unless lawless conditions gave way to law and order. To Devote Time to Ameliorating Conditions. At Darlington I met Mr. L. C. Wood, a large lumber dealer of Lakeview County, who has accumulated much wealth, and who, upon the invitation of the Rev. Mr. Carroll, attended the conference at Darlington. He referred to how he gave colored people employment and helped them, of how, when some white men took advantage and kept them in debt. Some of Mr. Wood's colored employees are worth from $4,000 to $15,000, he said. One colored man whom he referred to as his partner is worth $70,000 and receives a salary of $10,000 yearly. It has been through the help and co-operation of the colored people that he is now wealthy, and Mr. Wood says he intends to devote the remainder of his days in bringing the races together on a more amicable basis in his county and wherever his influence can reach. The Rev. H. L. Weeks, a prominent Baptist minister, hopes for a better day and Mr. Bright Williams, bank president and leading citizen, put himself on record of being heartily in favor of ameliorating conditions. I called on Justice Daniel E. Hydrick of the Supreme Court in Columbia, and other prominent white people. We did not hesitate to express our respective opinion. Some concurred with my opinions, others did not. But the fact that in the South white people are becoming broad enough to allow colored people to have their own views about themselves without the white people flying into a rage is encouraging. Most of those with whom I conversed did not hesitate to say that the Negro ought to be accorded rights and protection under the law and that lynching should be stopped. The consensus of opinion was that the present Governor would prove to be one of the most helpful state executives the people of South Carolina ever had.

THE NEW YORK AND SAN FRANCISCO, MARCH 14, 1919 ROCKY MOUNTAIN CLUB AIDS FIGHTING 15TH The Rocky Mountain Club was asked upon by a delegation of colored citizens of New York and requested to use its influence in order that the old 15th be not demobilized until their fellow citizens of New York had had an opportunity to accord them as a unit welcome entitled for services rendered on the battlefields of France. Rocky Mountain Club declining it a patriotic duty to serve all American fighters wired Secretary of War Baker on the 11th inst., urging that orders be issued to the Commanding General, Port of Embarkation, Hoboken, that the wish of citizens of New York be granted in order that a timely and fitting welcome be accorded to Col William Hayward's fighters. The Rocky Mountain Club said: "They matched down Fifth avenue on their way to France. Why can't we let them march up Fifth avenue on their way home?" The Rocky Mountain Club received the following telegram from Major General Henry Jersey, Director of Operations, War Department, Washington, dated February 13. General Jersey said: "Re your telegram 11th. That part of the 369th Infantry formerly 15th New York has been authorized to parade in New York City. Commanding General Port of Embarkation, Hoboken, N. J., in charge of details." Saturday morning a delegation of colored citizens again waited upon the secretary of the Rocky Mountain Club and in asking its further assistance, stated that of the original old 15th only thirteen hundred remained; that they had been provided with transportation from Camp Upton and would parade but that their comrades of 369th Infantry had not been included in the arrangements for the parade. The secretary of the Rocky Mountain Club immediately wired Major General Jervey, Director of Operations, Washington, as follows: "Thanks your telegram 13th advising that part of 369th Infantry, formerly 15th New York, has been authorized to troop in New York City. I am advised that the mean old 15th Like your telegram 15th, authority has been granted to permit parade of all of the 309th Infantry that has not been mobilized. About three thousand men will parade. (Shored) Jersey." The secretary of the Rocky Mountain Club wirel General Jersey and expressed the thanks of the Rocky Mountain Club in the following words: "Thanks for yours of this date advising that authority has been granted so that the entire 309th Infantry, Col. William Hayward, commanding, may march, up Fifth avenue on their way home to the plaudits of their fellow citizens of New York City which they merit." James W.
