BOARD PUTS BAN ON OBNOXIOUS TERMS 167th Field Artillery Brigade Routs Germans From Positions Held for Four Years Not until the closing days of the war were colored artillerymen from the United States given a full-fledged opportunity to impress the enemy with the accuracy and deadliness of their marksmanship. How well they succeeded with their 155 howitzers and 75's in conducting a counter battery of fire on active German batteries and on the outer fortifications of Metz is strikingly obvious in the Bois de LaCote and Bos Frehaut in the Toul Sector.

For nearly four years, the Germans had held the outer fortifications of Wien; their long tenancy being emphasized by the strongly built defenses and the elegantly equipped officers' quarters. In the Bois de LaCoté are dugouts formally occupied by German officers which are surrounded by a well-hept grove suggesting an artistic horticultural display on Bronx Park rather than a field of battle. Not until the colored artillerymen put in appearance in the vicinity of Pont-A-Monion was the decree issued that the Germans should be unceremoniously put out of what, for years, had been regarded as an impregnable stronghold—taking ground where machine-gun nests lurked in profusion in trees, and under what looked to be terra dirmacapped with grass and foliage. Colored artillerymen got into the fight in earnest during November, their activities in chronological order being: Against the Bois Franuat and the Bois de LaVouvrette on November 5; against Lepy and Cheminot on November 6; against Cheminot and Pagny, November 9; against Bois Franuat, November 10, and against Bois de LaCoté on November 11. The last day of his stilities. General Sherburne Compliments His Men. Brigadier General John H. Sherburne, commander of the 167th Field Artillery Brigade of the A. E. F., was so greatly pleased with the prowess displayed by his colored gunners that in an order issued November 18 he complimented them in paragraph I, as follows: The Commanding General of the 167th Field Artillery Brigade desires to record in the General Orders of the brigade his appreciation of the high qualities displayed by officers and men during the recent operations in this sector. They have been zealous soldiers and skillful artillery men. Their recompense lies in their knowledge of work done and in the commendation of those well qualified to speak. By day and night, often under the hail of shrapnel, often through clouds of deadly gas, they have marched and fought, dragged their AND WIFE FOR 6 YEARS Washington, D.

Houston, attorney for the law, contended that the deceased man and that the "widow" was married to the property left. Attorneys William O. Davis and Charles S.

At 10 o'clock last Thursday, under an order of court, the examination was made by Dr. Charles H. Marshall, Dr. Samuel M. Pierce, Attorney Hill, Norman W. Harris and a newspaper representative.

Brigadier General Sherburne is a Massachusetts man who is broad and generous to all mankind. He takes great pride in pointing to the fact that he was in command of the first colored artillerymen in the United States Army, and that they made good. The Act representative had the pleasure of meeting General Sherburne at brigade headquarters, then located at Marbache. Not only did the colored gunners set up a fine record as marksmans, but, the pluck and physical stamina displayed by them under fire elicited praise. Although the command was entitled to four thousand horses it had but 231. The spectacle of colored gunners pulling their artillery by hand over rough hills, steep hills and through mud and water. Interior was no uncommon one. The 16th Field Artillery Brigade, the first ever organized with colored troops, is in the 92nd Division, and composed of two regiments of light artillery, the 349th and 350th, a regiment of heavy artillery, the 351st, and the 317th French Mortar Battery. Formerly` Excluded from Artillery Branch. Heretofore Negroes have been permitted to join the infantry or cavalry branch of the service, some high army officials taking the stand that the colorado man would not make a successful artilleryman. Those who took this strange position contended the colored man could not master the mathematical calculations and other intricate subjects with which an artilleryman must show marked familiarity. Members of the 167th Field Artillery during the war completely upset this line of reasoning and demonstrated their capacity for hitting an object at a given distance from any given angle and then make satisfactory explanation as to the whys and wherefores. The 351st Field Artillery was organized and received its initial training at (Continued on Page Five) (Special to THE NEW York Act) Havana, Cuba.-Jack Johnson, formerly world's heavyweight pugilistic champion, arrived here March 7, from Spain on his way to Mexico City, where he will make his first appearance in a ring contest since he gave the championship to Jess Willard here almost four years ago. Johnson says he wants a return fight with Willard "anywhere, under any conditions except those which governed the Havana contest." He would, he said, split the purse to suit Willard, winner take all, 75 and 25 per cent. or otherwise. Johnson looks to be in good condition and said he tips the beam at 225 pounds.

MAYOR OF CHAMBERY GREETS NEGRO SOLDIERS The Mayor, officers, civilians and the women folk of Chambery France, are giving the colored soldiers who go to the Y. M. C. A club conducted for them in this pretty French town on a seventy day leave a royal welcome, according to Mrs. Helen Curtis, Y. W. C. A. worker in charge of the club, which was opened January 16. On January 27, the Mayor of Chambery addressed several hundred colored soldiers at the club, speaking as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen: "As the representative of the town of Chambery, I should fail to do my duty if after welcoming your predecessors, the first set of men on leave, I did not also welcome you heartily in my name and in the name of all the people of our town. I wish you to know how great our gratitude is to you all, both colored men and white men, for our gratitude makes no distinction of color between the brave soldiers who have come over to help us. "France, the land of liberty, thinks it her duty to consider as her friends all those who have fought with her, and she bows with heartfelt emotion at the thought of the many who have shed their blood in behalf of her holy cause. Fair-haired men from the North, dark-haired men from the South, men from Africa, Japan, Canada, South America and North America, have come over to France and unfolded their banners by the side of ours because they knew our dog wavered for the sake of liberty, and the reward of our common, our most tremendous effort was Victory. "When you go back to your respective countries pray tell your people at home that we were proud to welcome you and that if our reception was not always such as you deserved, yet it was always most hearty and sincere. This beautiful part of France is almost like a garden, and in it grows a lovely flower the flower of gratitude. May you, my friends, ever remember the short time you spent among us." Mrs. Curtis says that teachers from the Girls' College at Chamberly came over every afternoon to help serve tea and that the best people of the town help serve the colored soldiers. "This morning the wife of a captain stood three hours helping to serve breakfast," she writes. Commenting further about the club Mrs. Curtis says: "The men enjoy their vacation very much. We have from four to six hundred and they stay seven days. They stop at the best hotels while here. My, but they are glad to see a colored woman and how they do enjoy the home cooking. This morning for breakfast we had hot rolls, pork chops, ham and eggs, pancakes, syrup and coffee. In the afternoon we have ice cream, pie, cake, doughnuts, hot and cold drinks. We do all in our power to make the club home-like for them." All in next Sunday's N. Y. AMERICAN 1. Print the names of Ireland. 2. What the Bill have done in the war. 3.

Joy, director of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activity, has issued a statement denying that colored soldiers are excluded from Hostess Houses at Camp Upton, despite the obnoxious order issued some weeks ago by Brigadier General Nicholson. The following communication has been received by Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, from Major Joy on the subject: "On receipt of your memorandum of February 21, I telegraphed Major Wheeler, district director of the second district, which includes Camp Upton, directing him to investigate the situation and make such recommendations as he felt might be necessary to clear the situation. "I am today in receipt of a letter from him in which he states that colored soldiers have not been excluded from any hostess house at Camp Upton, despite the fact that a memorandum has been issued on that subject from Camp Upton headquarters. "The memorandum was not intended to exclude soldiers from other hostess houses, but was meant to call the attention of colored troops to the fact that there was a hostess house which was devoted exclusively to the use of the colored troops and to which they were cordially invited. "Major Wheeler says that colored troops continue to make use of all hostess houses in the camps, and that the Y. M. C. A. hostesses are very anxious that there shall be no such distinction made, and that none will be. (Signed) "Jason S. Joy. "Major E. A. U. S. A." "Director." DR. POWELL RESIGNS AS HEAD OF LEAGUE The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, has resigned as President of the International League of Darker Peoples. In sending in his letter of resignation Dr. Powell wrote: You will remember when I accepted the temporary chairmanship of the meeting called to organize the league, at the residence of Mme. C. J. Walker, January 2, 1919. I then stated that it would be impossible for me to serve as president of the permanent organization. Unfortunately I was forced to leave the meeting before the organization was perfected and during my absence and despite my previous protest, I was elected president until the next meeting. While I believe in the objects and principles of the league and hope to remain a member, my limited time and ability will not allow me to serve as president. I must, therefore, kindly insist that you will not further use my name in connection with this or any other office of the league. (Signed) A. CLAYTON POWELL. Mme. C. J. Walker tendered her resignation as treasurer of the league some weeks ago. Sergeant - Chessman - Married.

SHIPBUILDING FIRM HIRES 4,500 NEGROES (Special to The New York Act) Hampton, Va. Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Ship- building and Dry Dock Company, says there are 4,500 colored men working in the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. This is the large best force of skilled colored men and the highest paid group of colored men working anywhere in industry. The shipbuilding plant is a memorial to Collis P. Huntington who showed himself a friend to Hampton Institute and the colored people. Some of the colored men who are working in the Newport News shipyard have been with the company twenty- years or more. Right to test are on the retired list and are receiving from one-third to one-fourth of their regular pay. The successful colored shipyard workers have built their own homes, have supported their churches, and have helped to develop one of the best colored sections in the South. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Grand Chancellor S. W. Green of the Knights of Pythias, informed an Acct representative while in New York last week, that the Order continues to make great progress. There are now four thousand lodges with a membership of 210,000, divided as follows: Male members, 130,000; holding membership in the Court of Calanthe, 80,000. Grand Chancellor Green spent several days in Atlantic City making preliminary arrangements for the big K. P. session to be held the third week in August. The erection of the Pythian Temple in New Orleans in 1909, at a cost of 9,201,000, and the payment of the last dollar on the building in 1916, is pointed to with pride by Mr. Green, particularly in view of the fact that there were but six thousand members of the Order in Louisiana helping to pay off the indebtedness. Members All Over Country Are Asked to Discontinue Use of "Things That Sting" As the result of the talk made by Miss Eva D. Bowles to four hundred white female students of accredited schools and colleges at a conference held recently in Evanston, Ill., under the auspices of the Student Department of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A., a campaign has been started throughout the country against the use of such disagreeable terms as "nigger," "sheeny," "chink" and "bago."

A. throughout the United States with the request that all members of the organization join in the movement to stop the use of "Things That Sting." In speaking at the conference on the subject "Our Colored Neighbors," Miss Bowles said in part: "The mental attitude of the white race when it comes to the black man takes much for granted. He believes he knows from his limited contact with some special group of Negroes all about them and considers all others like these he knows. He honestly believes he knows the Negro. One thing he does not know and that is the peculiarity of the Negro's mental reserves. He is talkative over things that are no moment but with the things that concern and touch him most he has acquired the habit of silence and reserve. "Negro men have fought allied for an ideal and are now to be reckoned with. We have a nation first, and as a nation we have standards that must be met by men whatever his race or color. Because a man was black did not excuse him from answering his country's call and laying down his life, not for the democracy of which he was deprived, but for a cause that would make the world safe for democracy." WILLIAM A. SLATER DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS (Special to TNZ New York Act) Charlottesville, Va.-Dr. James H. Dillard has sent the following communication, announcing the death of William A. Slater, to one hundred schools that have been helped by the Slater Fund, established by the deceased's father: "It is my sad duty to announce the death, on Tuesday, February 25, of William A. Slater, who was for a number of years president of the Fund established by his father, John F. Slater. Three years ago Mr. Slater's health was such that he was compelled to give up all activities. He was for many years a most patient physical sufferer. No suffering, however, could destroy the wonderful beauty of his disposition which endearced him to all who came in contact with him. "His life was necessarily, during his later years, one of retirement, but his keen interest never flagged in the work in which the Slater Fund was called to aid. His noble character will remain for all time an inspiration to those who are engaged in the work." League for Democracy. The League for Democracy has been formed by colored soldiers of all grades and rank called to colors and men engaged in essential war industries. The object of the organization is to keep alive the military spirit, uphold Americanism and propagate the true principles of democracy. The league will maintain headquarters in New York and will hold annual reunions. 350,000 LEAVE SO 350,000 LEAVE SOUTH IN 1916-17 Washington, D.

C.—Investigations of Negro migration to the North during the war, just issued by the Department of Labor, indicate that the total migration may have been as great as 350,000, extending over a period of about 18 months during 1916 and 1917. The movement had been under way for a long time before any effort was made to determine the number of Negroes moving North. Moreover, so many left separately and unobserved that complete statistics would have been impracticable. The investigator in Georgia estimates that between 35,000 and 45,000 Negroes left that State in 1916-17, and the number to leave Alabama during the same time is estimated at 75,000. State officials, however, made higher estimates, placing the number to leave Georgia at 50,000, Alabama 90,000 and Mississippi 100,000. Among the causes operative in the South to induce migration were general disatisfaction with conditions, the ravages of the boil weevil, floods, change of crop system, low wages, poor housing, poor schools, unantisfactory crop (Continued on Second Page) EXTRA!

"There are approximately three million and a half colored Baptists in the United States and more than 25,000 churches, according to Dr. Edward P. Jones, formerly of Mississippi but now residing in Illinois, and generally regarded as one of the leading Baptists and fraternal society men in the country. Dr. Jones, who is president of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, was in New York this week making arrangements to go to Paris. Before going abroad, however, it is likely that he will fill engagements in Ohio, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, Indiana and Illinois in the interest of his denomination. "Our work is progressing," said Dr. Jones to an Age representative. "Drs. Frank, Kemp and Jones are doing much in fostering the work of the foreign mission board. Last year our publishing board, under the leadership of Dr. R. H. Boyd and Dr. C. H. Clark, collected and distributed more than $200,000. We have every reason to feel encouraged. We meet at Norfolk in September and then we are going to put over the greatest program ever contemplated by Baptists. Twenty-five thousand dollars for education will be the soxan."

William Hayward Gives Interesting Account of Enemy's Supreme Effort July 15-Praise for Gen. Gouraud. Col. William Hayward aroused great enthusiasm at the big New York Thrift Convention, held recently at Carnegie Hall, when he told of how the old 15th Regiment made undying history in France. "There were two regiments of the National Guard which were not destroyed or broken up," Colonel Hayward told the audience. "One was the splendid, gallant regiment of battling Irish, the 69th, and my regiment. "We were turned over in a body to that wonderful French general, Gourand, and became a part of his Fourth Army. We went up there with no training except a couple of weeks at Peek-skill and Camp Whitman and a degree of guard duty at the Anglo-When they came to the French they took our rifles, ammunition and everything away from us and gave us French material. We were reorganized to correspond with a French division. "We were given about five and a half kilometers, a little over four miles, of the first line. The first thing I knew there was nothing between the German army and Paris except my regiment. But that was fair enough—because there was nothing between us and Berlin except the German army. "There were the Germans and there was Paris. They tried pretty hard to get by, but they never did. No German ever got into a trench with my regiment who didn't stay there or go back with the brand of my boys on them. I am happy and proud to say that in 1919 of battle, which is longer than any other regiment served, they had a man applauded the regiment. When those Germans would come over after a million dollar artillery preparation and jump down into our trenches it just got down into a he-man, street-corner fight. They fought with knives, bayonets, and with the butts ends of guns. You know those boys of mine, all they needed was something with an edge on it. Had Extreme Right of Division. "We had the extreme right at that time of Gen. Gouraud's fourth Army. In talking to Justice Hughes a few days ago I was astonished to find out that the people in this country did not know what happened in that last big German offensive on the 15th of July, because that was the turning point of the war, undoubtedly; that was absolutely the crucial battle of this war. "You see, the Germans had been reinforced by the released prisoners from Russia, so they had their maximum forces. They had broken through the British and it was pretty near a disaster. This was east of Rheims. The Germans had been through the French at Mondidier, gone through thirty or forty kilos. We knew the next attack was to be the maximum attack of the German army. They had as many men as they could get. They were at the tenth of their power. "We knew this attack was coming and knew it was to be the maximum German effort. About one hour before 10 o'clock, on the night of July 14, we captured German prisoners in a raid. They told us when the attack would come. "The artillery preparation was to start at midnight and to last for five. "That put them up in the air. Fritz had to send to Hans to ask what the change in his plans meant. "When the French knew this battle hours and twenty-five minutes. So Gen. Couraud started our artillery fire five minutes before the attack, was coming their forces did not remain in a thin blue line. It seemed that all the soldiers and all the cannon in the world crawled over and took positions back of us. No longer did they work secretly. They just hauled cannon out into position in the open fields. Saya Gouraud Saved World for Civilization "General Gouraud saved the world for civilization. I have heard stories about how hard he had to work to convince General Petain and Marshal Foch that his plan was right. But he took a chance—the greatest chance any soldier ever took in the world. He took his troops out of the front line trenches The LATEST THEORY OF FIRST AID IB: That germs are found on the surface of the skin and scalp most abundantly. It is better to prevent, not dors, sepsis, tonics and pomades which destroy germ life rather than these which promote R. over a front of fifty kilometers. Some of those trenches had cost thousands of lives. Men had toiled for weeks and months to gain those positions. He abandoned them when he was sure where the attack was coming. "And when this had occurred he had the 15th New York on one end of that fifty kilo line and the old 69th New York, in the Rainbow Division, on the other end. "When the troops were withdrawn from the front line only patrols were left. On my regiment's front, instead of 1,600 men, only 16 volunteers were left. They were left in specially reinforced trenches with signal rockets, gas shell and a few machine guns. "And so the German fire fell on those front line trenches for five hours and twenty-five minutes—and those shells fell on empty trenches except for those patrols who stayed there expecting to be killed, but strangely enough, practically all of them came back to us in the morning. "When the hour for the German infantry attack came they set off the gas bombs and the signal rockets. Our artillery saw the signal rockets and cut loose on the massed German infantry. The German masses were literally smashed by the terrific French artillery fire. And the gas shells our boys had left smothered them with the deadly mustard gas. They never got through to our second line. Our boys sat on the parapets of the trenches and watched the 'show.' "But on the other end they did get through. They shuffled to the Rainbow Division, and the 69th to the hand to hand in some of the most terrible fighting of the war—fighting it for that terrible battle, the battle that was the turning point of the whole war. "General Gourau's army stopped the German rush, and in an address to his troops General Gourau pointed out that the American troops in his army were my little old 15th, the 69th and the others of the Rainbow Division and some railway artillery batteries."

Y.—The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Richard C. Kelley greeted them on Monday evening, March 3, at an "at home," tendered them by their son, Gon. B. Kelley, in honor of the fifth anniversary of their warning. Their special home in Upper Troy was filled from the beginning to the close of the reception hours by those dear to pay honor to this couple, well beloved in the community in which they live. An orchestra, screened by palms, was stationed in the reception hall and discourses street music during the reception. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley received their guests, assisted by Mrs. E. George Biddle of New London, Cona, and Mr. Chas, Decker of Newburgh, N. Y., sister and brother of Mrs. Kelley, and also by Mrs. Nancy King of Troy, sister of Mr. Kelley. The house was handsomely decorated with palms and cut flowers, many of which were gifts from various friends. The color scheme was yellow, and this was effectively carried out in parlor and dining room, where yellow daffodils and candles were used in abundance. The handsome decorations and lights, together with the very pretty gown of the young women, were the main feature that made a sense very picturesque and inviting. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly were the recipients of many, useful and handsome gifts, all suggestive of the golden anniversary. Among their gifts were nearly three hundred dollars in gold coins. The unhers were Messrs, Frank Holbrook, Chas. Hudson, Manuel E. Perez, Chas. H. Van Vranken, Jr., Wm. Gibson, Harold J. Davis, Wendell King, Frederick A. Chew, Jos.

The movement of large numbers at the same time was done largely to labor agents, but after these initial group movements Negroes hope going North to work with their friends who had already gone. Better wages were important. "Every Negro who made good in the North started a new group on the way," one of the investigators reported. * Landfords Often Blamed. About half the migrants, according to one investigator, went from the towns. Another investigator found that the counties in the Black Belt of Alabama which had suffered most were those in which there was most poverty among the Negroes, and that the shortage of labor was most acute among the landowners who made no attempt to keep their Negro tenants by providing for their subsistence. One of the promising movements to improve relations between white and colored persons in the South and thus remove causes of the migration appears to be the "Community Congress" plan, put under way in Bolivar County, Mississippi. The feature of this plan is a committee organization including prominent white business men and agriculturists, and prominent colored men, in a committee of church and labor supply. This type of organization is interesting in emphasizing the common interest of the races in community development, and in providing contact between racial leaders in ways designed to promote harmony, prosperity and good will. Bureaus on Negro affairs as adjuncts to chambers of commerce are also highly recommended, as means of bringing together desirable Negro tenants and white landlords and planters. Frequent and confidential conferences upon community problems and active co-operation between the local leaders of the races are urged as important measures toward betterment. Better housing is recommended, both for North and South. The necessity of higher wages, better homes and better surroundings in the South has come to be generally recognized. "Fair treatment, opportunity to labor and enjoy the legitimate fruits of labor, assurance of, even handed justice in the courts, good educational facilities, sanitary living conditions, tolerance and sympathy" are urged by the Southern University Commission on Race Relations as a means of keeping Negro labor in the South.

Physical Department BY DR WELLSMAN Of the many species of parasitic worms it is fortunate that only a comparatively few varieties are found in human beings. Of these the Rounds, and the Tape Worms, are by far the commonest species. The round worms may be subdivided broadly into two families, the round worm or stomach worms, and the thread, or seat worms. The first-named species resembles very closely in appearance the common earth worms, being pinkish-white or red-brown in color, and varies in length from 5 to 10 inches, according to sex. Ordarily, they inhabit the smaller intestine, but frequently wander up into the stomach, when the disturbance due to their movements causes them to be vomited; hence they derive the familiar name Stomach Worms. While most frequently found in children, they are often the unsuspected cause of obscure digestive disturbances in adults, and the possibility of their presence should always be taken into account when treating stomach disorders. The eggs of the round worm gain access to the human system through contaminated food or water and are hatched out and the young worms pass into the intestine where they develop to their full size in about five weeks. The symptoms produced by Round Worms, while characteristic, are also sometimes similar to those caused by other digestive disturbance and for that reason are not always recognized as arising from intestinal worms. It is believed by scientists that the mere presence of the worms is not the cause of the many disturbing symptoms that are observed, but that they are due to some poisonous secretion emitted by the worms which, being absorbed into the system, cause a variety of more or less alarming results. In the case of children these may manifest themselves in severe nervous disturbances, such as epileptiform convulsions, grinding the teeth and restless sleep, disturbances of vision, abdominal pain, capricious appetite, itching of the eyes, nose and fingers, and so forth. It is therefore well for the parent of a child suffering from any of the foregoing conditions to determine jumping at the conclusion that the child has epilepsy or defective eyes, or is just bad tempered and irritable, whether or not it is suffering from some form of intestinal parasites. If any of the above symptoms are noted, or if the child seems poorly and listless, without any apparent reason, or if it loses flesh in spite of a pleural diet, notwithstanding that it seems otherwise quite normal, then, make every effort to find out if the child is not suffering from worms. This can usually be determined by one of three ways: The most positive is the discovery of the passage of a worm or worms, either alive or dead. Another indication is the presence of masses of mucus in the stools, which will usually be found upon minute examination under a magnifying glass to contain the tiny eggs of the worm. Another way, the third, while not so conclusive, is nevertheless valuable: This consists in administering laxcarin. If worms exist the increased amount of mucus passed at first will be noted and the improved condition of the child, will be the best indication of the efficacy of the treatment. In correcting hyper-acidity, in assisting in the assimilation of the nutritive elements of the food eaten, and in the general toning up of the digestive organ and processes, Laxcarin will be found most valuable. Laxcarin is sold by the Laxcarin Products Co., Dept. E 196, Pittsburgh six per box one dollar, fabrication six per box one dollar. Will be sent post paid upon receipt of cash money orders or stamps.

Greenboro, N. C. ning School ITHACA' N. Y. Classified. "WILL AMERICA FORGET? A pertinent query was addressed to the white people of the South by a former teacher of a Texas state school through the columns of the Houston Post. After describing the ceremony of the citation for gallantry in action of the 372d Regiment, which took place at Brest, France, in January, he asks: Soon these black boys who, brigaded with the Fretch, turned back the hooche, will return home, most of them indeed to their native Southland. Will America forget, that as citizens, they were called, as citizens they answered, as citizens of America they died? France knew them only as men—as American soldiers. Will America know them less? Must they forever be without the democracy at whose behest 45,000 have bared their breast on the fields of France. This is the great question up to America to answer and like the old question of slavery; there can be no decisive answer until it is answered justly. The sooner this question is answered with justice to all, the sooner will be the coming of that worldwide democracy for which our soldiers fought and died. CHURCH READJUSTMENT. With the demand for readjustment and reconstruction in all departments of industrial and economic existence, the need of a similar movement in church life becomes strikingly apparent. Nor are the progressive leaders of the great religious bodies blind to this necessity for action on their part. Already plans have been projected for a more intensive work along broader lines by many of the Protestant denominations. That these plans fail in large measure to even attempt to cope with the greatest menace to America to-day—lynch law and anarchy—we took occasion to point out a few weeks ago. But it is more particularly to the great religious organizations of the race, that we would emphasize this pressing necessity for readjustment and reorganization. The Negro ministry constitutes a mighty and potential force for good or evil results in the progress' of the face. Even to a greater degree than the press, it touches and influences the daily life of the people. Accordingly as it reacts upon the living of those whom it reaches is it judged. And the severest judges are often the members of the churches themselves. They are beginning to demand an active sirle manhood in the ministry that will teach them how to live as Christians, as well as how to die "in the full triumph of faith." They demand works as well as faith. They demand a gospel that teaches cleanly and upright living, the meeting of moral and material obligations and the provision of institutional benefits for both the young and old in addition to the regular religious exercises. And above all, they demand that the preachers themselves must be exemplars of the gospel of upright living that they preach. In many of the larger cities these reasonable demands have been heeded. The churches under wise and conscientious leaders are well equipped with all the modern facilities to promote the growth and welfare of their people along mental, moral and material lines. But all localities are not so well provided: There are too many preachern of the world whose conduct and character are a reproach and a warning. And the people know it and resent it. It behooves the religious leaders of the race to heed the warnings of the progressive element of their membership and prepare the way for a spiritual readjustment and reconstruction on the basis of upright living and teaching. WEARERS OF THE BLUE. So much has been, told about the heroic deeds of the boys in khaki that it is refreshing to hear about the sturdy endurance of the lads in blue, who risked their lives just as bravely in defence of flag and country. We therefore give space to the following letter: To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACK: I saw some few days ago an edition of your paper giving an account of the deaths of the 369th Regiment or the old New York 15th, and was more than glad to see, that the 15th made good and proved their worth and, that the folks at home are proud of their soldier boys. I would like to say that the colored boys from New York, who are wearing blue, have not been talked of very much, but they too have been doing their duty. I am sure that you are aware that hunting "subs" is not the easiest and safest job by any means, especially in the North Sea, which is as rough in good weather as most seas are in stormy weather. Some of us have been doing patrol duty from January, 1918, until the armistice was signed, and now some of us are going into the mine fields to sweep German mines; another job which is as safe as sitting around in the 135th street library. After all, the sailor's life isn't so safe as some seem to think. I, for my part, would rather hunt "subs," as quite a few mines are torn from their moorings and you don't know when you are going to hit one, and if you should strike one, it's "goodnight" for someone. Hope to get another New York Age soon. JOHN W. RICE. soon. As the writer of this genuine note was bound for the mine fields again on the dangerous mission he so unaffectedly describes, we know that the good wishes of the many readers of THE AGE will go with him and the other plucky, wearers of the blue. As we all know now, the war was not won alone in the trenches and on the front, but along all the lines of communication, and especially on the seas. Here's to the wearers of the blue! NEEDLESS ANXIETY. The confession of the Macon (Ga.) Daily News that the demobilization of the 400,000 Negro soldiers is a subject that has caused much anxiety on the part of the white race, presumably in that section, must be regarded as the symptoms of an uneasy conscience. This is confirmed by the admission that "it is a simple truism that the Negro has not always had justice before the law"; but it addsignificantly, "he has a world, of friends, fully imbued with the spirit of the South and all its traditions, who are constantly seeking to help him get the justice he deserves." This conclusion is based upon the assurance voiced by Emmett J. Scott, assistant to the Secretary of War, that "the Negro will ask no more than to be able to work out his destiny under the equal and adequate protection of the law; to be given a man's chance, and that no patriotic citizen could ask him to accept less." If the returning Negro soldiers are treated in accordance with the spirit voiced by the Macon Negro, anxiety as to their readjustment in the ways of peace will be needless. The spirit of justice and the doctrine of a "man's chance" in life will smooth out all difficulties. It comes with something of a shock to be told that the figures of illiteracy for New York State are appalling; that the census of 1910 gave 406,000 illiterates and at the present time 600,000 cannot speak or write English. Fortunately the Negro is not held responsible for this high degree of ignorance, as that class of its citizens are credited with a higher percentage of education than in forty-four other States. The illiteracy is charged up to the large proportion of foreign immigrants among the population and the remedy proposed is a State-wide plan for adult education. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1919 VIEWS and REVIEWS It must appear like sheer tenacity to attempt to discuss in any authoritative manner the draft of the league of nations which President Wilson brought back with him. The President and those supporting him contend that the draft is about as near perfect as human brains can make it. Other men, equally eminent, say just the opposite. The President declares that the vast majority of the American people are in favor of the league as drafted; just how he gained this knowledge we do not know, for it strikes us that the vast majority of the American people do not know exactly what they think about it. It goes without saying that most of the people of the world are in favor of some sort of international steps being taken to stop war. That is, they are in favor of it at the present time; whether they will feel the same twenty-five or fifty or a hundred years from to-day is not at all sure. No man would dare to oppose the league of nations on the ground that he did not want to see war abolished; so those who are objecting to the constitution of the league in its present form are careful to base their objections on other grounds. In fact, one of the loudest objections raised by those who are opposing the plan which President Wilson brought over is that it will not abolish war. The President himself yields that point; and he would be foolish if he did not, for if the record of human experience through the past three or four thousand years shows anything, it shevs that war will not be abolished merely by various nations affixing their signatures to a treaty, no matter. how well the document may be drawn. War will not be abolished by the powerful nations making a compact not to fight among themselves any more. The remedy must be stronger than that. Any constitution of a league of nations which is formed that does not at the same time recognize the equal essential rights of all the peoples of the world had just as well be torn up before the ink dries, so far as its value to abolish war goes. If the Peace Conference which is not sitting does not make a just and human settlement of the African question and the Indian question and the other similar questions, it had just as well consider when it finishes its work that it is simply adjoining to meet again, perhaps soon. So long as the highway robbery and exploitation of other peoples are recognized as a right of the powerful nations of the world, just so long is it certain that they will clash among themselves, for sooner or later thieves are bound to fall out and fight over the loot. Other objections are being urged against the President's plan. Some advance the argument, that the league of nations as outlined will cause the country to depart from the injunctions laid down by George Washington; others fear that it will abrogate the Monroe Doctrine; others claim that it will compel the United States to yield a certain degree of its sovereignty. None of these arguments seems to us to be weighty enough to overbalance a league of nations of the right sort. At any rate, we are willing to leave such arguments to the statesmen and the international lawyers. We are concerned with another phase of the whole question. The tendency of any league of nations will be to fix the world in the status quo. The tendency, and, perhaps, the direct purpose of the contemplated league will be to make the present arrangement of nationalities and sovereignties and dependencies permanent. The league of nations will not only be against wars, but it will be against revolutions or attempts on the part of any people to change their government, especially if that government is one that is imposed from without. Now, can any person who belongs to one of the darker races wish to see the present scheme of world sovereignties made permanent? We think not. The league of nations will have to go a good deal farther than it goes go before it squares with the rights of two-thirds of the earth's population. The darker races of the world would be better off with no league of nations than with one that made permanent the present apportionment of the earth and its peoples and its resources and its riches among the powerful nations of the world. THE IRISH QUESTION. At times it is necessary to face a situation where you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. In such a position President Wilson found himself when he had to see or refuse to see the Irish delegation in New York last week. The President knew that a refusal to see the delegation would stir up considerable political opposition against the administration; he also knew that granting them an audience would create suspicion and resentment among the English statesmen with whom he must maintain the closest harmony in order to get through his peace program. When confronted by the dilemma of "the devil or the deep sea," it is the part of wisdom to choose outright either the devil or the sea, and trust to luck in the sea or generosity from the devil; any attempt to land somewhere between the two is sure to result in disaster. President Wilson tried to land between the two, and he succeeded in offending both the Irish and the English. Of course, the President did not want to see the delegation. And Justice Cohalan, who has been making persistent efforts to get the Irish question before the Peace Conference through him, managed the matter so well that the President was forced to grant an audience. Justice Cohalan brought pressure to bear on the Democratic National Committee, which even the President himself could not resist. So the President consented to receive the delegation at the Metropolitan Opera House on the night of making his departing speech there. But, when the appointed hour arrived and the delegation was waiting, the President refused to see the delegation with Justice Cohalan as a member. Just why Mr. Wilson insisted upon having Justice Cohalan, the chairman of the delegation, excluded no one can tell. It might have been that the President was irritated over being maneuvered into such a position by the Justice. Or it might have been, remembering Justice Cohalan's anti-English attitude all through the war, that the President thought in receiving the delegation minus its chairman he would satisfy the Irish and at the same time avoid giving offence to the English. He did not entirely succeed in doing either; the Irish delegation felt very keenly the affront to their chairman, and the English press has expressed dissatisfaction at the action of the President in receiving the delegation at all. An article in the London Globe is typical of the comment that the English papers are making on the incident. A part of what the Globe said reads as follows: With great respect we venture to hint that President Wilson ought to find enough to do at home and not endeavor to take a hand in the management of our affairs. The ardour labor of governing 100,000 of people cannot have much bearing for the study of such a highly un placed problem as the relations between the eminent parts of the British Isle. President Wilson is not personally acquainted with the actual conditions in Ireland and it would be better if he assumed in the settlement of a difficult question, such as that of Mexico, in his own neighborhood before kindly helping ours. * * * No British statesman would dream of receiving a deputation of brewers and distillers to urge upon him to maintain at the Papua-Conference the right of the individual American to decide what he shall drink. We venture to remind Mr. Wilson that even the great position of President does not carry with it that of supreme governor of the planet. It will be found on investigation that to attain the fullest success it is safe to follow the admirable rule of minding one's own business. It is the avowed purpose of the Irish patriots in the United States to force the American delegates to bring up the question of Irish independence at the peace conference. It is reported that Justice Cohalan told Homer Cummings, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, that if Ireland was left out when self-determination was granted to small nations, the Democratic party in the United States "might as well close its house." It is also reported that during the audience which President Wilson granted, Justice Goff, acting as spokesman for the delegation, said, "Mr. President, we are here representing more than 20,000,000 Americans of Irish blood, and you are our representative at the Peace Conference." Then, after stating the committee's views and requests regarding Ireland, added, "Mr. President, we are waiting for your answer." Just what President Wilson's answer was has not been made public, but the delegation came away hopeful, stating that the President was sympathetic in his expression, although he did not make or imply any promise. Being sympathetic in expression, while not making or implying any promise, is one of the fine accomplishments of high officials, an accomplishment in which President Wilson is second to none. In our opinion there is slight chance that the American delegates will seriously bring up the Irish question at the Peace Conference, but it would be a good thing if they did do so. If the United States pressed the Irish question, England would certainly retaliate by bringing up the Negro question; it is probable that Japan and China would join in so as to have a vantage point from which to urge their own individual protests against race discrimination; perhaps France, too, would take a hand if for no other reason than to force more from the peace settlement than she now seems likely to get. Injection of the Irish question into the Peace Conference by the United States would start a fight out of which the American Negro would gain more than he can now possibly hope for. We earnestly hope that President Wilson will bring the question up and press it to the limit. GERMAN OPERA VERSUS PATRIOTISM. Some company in New York has made plans to produce German operas at the Lexington Theatre, and this has caused a veritable outburst. Meetings are being held. Soldiers and sailors are being called upon to voice their disapproval. Various individuals and organizations are circulating petitions and writing to congressmen, and it looks as though there will be some disorder if the operas are produced. We do not know how long it will be necessary to froth at the mouth at all things German, even German music, in order to prove that you are a patriot, but we feel that the people who are most active in this anti-opera campaign must smile a little bit to themselves at the absurdity of the whole business. A body of Italians also entered a solemn protest; but we can see good reason for their action, the Germans are the only real competitors which the Italians have in the opera writing business. For two years the Italians have had the opera producing field almost exclusively to themselves, and, naturally, they are to be excused for wishing to hold on to it as long as possible. The whole thing would be laughable if it were not for the fact that there are so many things in this country worth protesting about. Let all those who are jealous concerning the good name, the morale and the future of our country get hot over lynching, and protest against the burning alive of human beings. That would be something worth while protesting about, and would be helping to save the country from a thing that is a greater danger to the nation than German operas could ever be. The people of the South, and indeed of the country is a whole, have a hearty admiration for Tuskegee Institute, founded by Booker T. Washington, whose efforts to uplift the Negro race along sane and wholesome lines have been maintained on the same high plane by his successors at the Alabama institution. At the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, now in session, the secretary, Emmett J. Scott, who has been serving in Washington since the outbreak of the war as special assistant to the Secretary of War, delivered the principal address today, in which he discussed the vital question of "Problems Connected With the Demobilization of Negro Soldiers." There can be no question that this is a subject which has caused much anxiety on the part of the white race as a result of this transfer to 400,000 Negroes from the various pursuits of peace to military life and to a participation in the great events in Europe. The secretary of Tuskegee says frankly to his fellow citizens of the white face: "Have no fears that when these soldiers to whom I have referred return from the war, having aided in their country's triumph, they will, overnight as it were, become a menace to public peace and order. The Negro soldier will return a better citizen because he has learned the value of discipline." Continuing along the same line, he says: "He has improved in health and has a knowledge of what to avoid, and what to do in order to maintain and stimulate a healthy mind and body. It may be safelly assumed that his heretofore abnormally high sick and death rate will be lowered, and this, incidentally, will mean much for our southern communities. "It would be most unfortunate, indeed, if threatened conditions in the South, which have been repeatedly referred to and rightly discouraged by southern editors and many of the leading white and colored citizens of this section, should make the returning Negro soldiers (see that he cannot return to his former home in safety, thereby keeping out of the South a large amount which household has constituted to the upholding of the industrial South." diers, as well as civilians, the word "moralize" has taken on a new significance and hundreds of thousands of them have cheerfully responded to military discipline and other rigorous requirements and restrictions made necessary by the war, and have demonstrated the fact that the thoughtful mind, the conservative voice and pen, the industrious hand, the patriotic dollar, as well as the effective gun and bayonet, can all be utilized as vitally important factors in the winning of a great war." The Tuskegee educator makes it quite clear that the Negro will ask no more than to be able to work out his destiny under the equal and adequate protection of the law; to be given a "man's chance" and that no patriotic citizen could ask him to accept less. It is to men such as those in charge of Tuskegee Institute that we turn, as the Secretary of War, turned, for light and leading; for cooperation in developing the Negro along the line of welcoming, without any element of racial antagonism, and Secretary Scott's speech will go far towards reassuring any of those who may have expected trouble. It is a simple trismis that the Negro has not always had justice before the law, but he has a world of friends, fully imbued with the spirit of the South and all its traditions, who are constantly seeking to help him get the justice he deserves. In return they expect of bin the restraint and the industry which are indispensable to his welfare. WAR VETERANS UNITE Washington, D. C.—A new organization.

MILLER RETORTS TO PORTUNE'S CRITICISM To the Editor of the New York AP: I had just begun to readjust myself to the ways of little old New York when Mr. Fortune's news item, in your issue of the 1st instant, caused my mind to revert to my last visit to Washington. Mr. Fortune has the right of criticism, and I trust he may enjoy the fill of the pleasure it may afford him in this particular case. My memory is clear upon the point of offering a fairly full, if not complete, analysis of Radicalism; and I recommended, that the colored people of America, essentially members of the laboring class, the worst exploited of all laboring groups, brought to America by the express purpose of being exploited representing the lowest exploitation of the labor, the most oppressed and the most easily displeased, should join the radical forces of labor that intend to reconstruct society, the principle of the Co-operative Commonwealth, expropriate the expropriators, and reap the fruits of their own toil—the wealth that their brain and brawn have created. But she merits of the argument and the attitude of the audience aside, I am much indebted to Mr. Fortune for the wide publicity he has given some of my dependents—that currency was wholly dependent upon the favor of Mr. Fortune. Having done so well I was the appointed as his failure to go further. I take no exceptions to any of Mr. Fortune's interpretations of, or influences from, my address—he is welcome to them all. Having quoted my words on the relationship of patriotism to profit, he might have given my psychological analysis of Loyalty; my estimate of the "loyal slave," of whose praise our leaders so delight to sing. Why did he omit the declaration of my own quality of patriotism? It was not expected to receive the consideration bestowed on me, but since the gentleman was about it, he might have favored me. I am immodest enough to think that description a gem, and it care right off the reel. Now that is but forever through Mr. Fortune's night. Why did he omit "Taft and Bolivism," and my thought of Lee Osmann's fits over Bolshievism in Russia while careless of lynchings running riot in North Carolina? My objection to the south end of the Long Bridge is not that there I should be a Negro, "only this and nothing more," but that the Negro there is not treated as a man. If, however, that fact should forestall my claim to a cosmopolitan, it surely ought not admit of Mr. Fortune's talking of "love of my country." Is this (U. S. A.) Mr. Fortune's country? Is he equally at home in all parts of it? Not if I know the place for if he were to go to the southern end of the Long Bridge he would find, quick as a flash, that he is a Negro, "only this and nothing more." But all this comes in fine grace, indeed, from the man who declared in print that he declined membership in the American Negro Academy on the ground that he refuses to be a member of any organization having Negro in title, and invented Afro-American escape the opprobrium of "Negro." Mr. Fortune, to demonstrate the absurdity of my cosmopolitan mind, shows that the only place I am not at home is where I am at home. And it is because I am not at home when and where I am at home (Mr. Fortune's argument I am not patriotic; and because he is not at home, when and where at home he is patriotic. I shall not, carry the argument to its logical conclusion, will say simply: "De gustibus disputandum." The cessation of utilities brings hope those intellectuals diseased by the war ate to those intellectuals diseased it. Aace-time, the restoration of peace. It is no comfort. Mr. Fortune is beautiful of his patriotism, and after demonstrating his harmlessness, breaks forth into challenge: "If this be treason make the most of it." It is to laugh! He advertises me as an incarnate That was done once before, and I laid it aside gently as flattery, but having now the undesignated coincidence Mr. Fortune's corroboration, I accept as a compliment, and shall wear it with beffiting pride. Still I must look at my laurels, as Patrick Henry, William Lloyd Garrison and John Hawkins running me a close second, and one of them, or all, may not of the race. Again your correspondent talks about the radicals—labor forces—until the throats of the possessors of the land, Well, it just so happens that the people well last four years, not been other people's throats, and have going to kill for so refusing "I love my flag, my country from the author of "Black and White Upon what soft mush doth the fortune Fortune feed that he is grown Again," "I am as radical as should be," "Well that is the invitation of conceit. The cryptic humor of that whole letter is the cryptic humor of Mr. McCormick to write again, as reading reduces deciphering cryptograms has one of my pleasant pastimes. GEORGE FRAZER M. A QUESTION ANSWERED. New York's welcome to the first of its returning units—the 369th Infantry formerly the 15th Regiment. New York National Guard—yesterday was a terrible occasion in the history of the city. The 2,900 colored soldiers in the line of march constituted as fine a body of men in the aggregate as any command could wish to see. No wonder that C. William Hayward is extravagant, proud of them and bespeaks for the unstinted consideration at the hands of their fellow citizens. New York's own colored soldiers have performed a military task which will be recorded forever as one of the brilliant examples of their race. They have endured fatigue and privation and survived a murmur. They have obeyed orders without hesitation and questioning. They have maintained iron discipline. And they have not met the enemy with a courage and a striking power that have reflected added glory upon the American army. To the question whether the color race is capable of high achievements, it is only necessary to study by pointing to the result of the 250 Bregiment, New York. because it acts quickly and does not gripe and strain. Its freedom from all habit forming properties and its possible effect makes it the ideal remedy for the family cabinet. Camp Meade, Md. The other units were formed at Camp Din, N. J. The brigade was not united until after reaching France. It had only two months' training "over there." No less enthusiastic than General Sherburne over the success of the colored artillerymen is Col. W. H. C. penter of the 351st, a West Point graduate and a native of South Carolina. He was a very busy man at the time his colored gunners were evicting the Germans from stragetic positions they had occupied for years, and, judging from the electric lights, so powerful, expensive living-room sets, etc., in the officer dugouts, they had planned to occupy the strongholds, for four more years. In 1914 in what was known as the Battle of Nancy, many thousands were lost by both the French and German in the Bois de Prêt, and the story goes that five thousand Germans met death in one hour. Since this disastrous battle neither side had evinced a willingness to conduct an aggressive offensive until the 167th Field Artillery came upon the scene. Then the outer designs of Mets were peppered as never before, and the Germans, finding the colored artillerymen too attentive, beat a fierce retreat. WESTFIELD. N. I. Washington, N.

THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS Stop German Opera; Un-American Film Allowed On Screen BY LESTER A. WALTON TWO-THOUSAND sailors, many of whom are not residents of Greater New York, have been able to stop the production of German opera at the Lexington Theatre, although the colored people of the city and their influential white friends have at no time been successful in their efforts to prevent in Manhattan the presentation of "The Birth of a Nation." Mayor Hylan and Thomas F. Gilchrist, Commissioner of Licenses, had the power to put a ban on the German opera project, although Mayor Mitchel and his Commissioner of Licenses complained to a delegation of colored citizens during a protest meeting held at the City Hall some years ago that they were powerless to act. So the producers of the slanderous film put it on in New York whenever they see fit, feeling secure in the knowledge that they have the city authorities on their side and can pooh-pooh any and all objections registered by colored people. There is a striking analogy between the two incidents which have made it necessary for our local officials to take a stand one way or the other and to lovers of fair play it would seem that something is radically wrong somewhere when the protest of two thousand sailors is taken more seriously than the protest of many thousands of colored taxpayers. The sailors objected to German Opera at the Lexington Theatre because the United States has been at war with the Boche. The colored citizens of Greater New York and their white friends opposed the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" on the ground that it held up the Negro to ridicule and engendered a spirit of hostility between the races. From the looks of things our city authorities believe that producing German opera is more disloyal than producing a photoplay in which the history of the United States is distorted and twelve million citizens are unnecessarily held up to scorn and humiliation. The colored American, who is usually a law-abiding citizen, is beginning to wonder if oratory, after all, is the proper method to use in fighting for a square deal, for threats of a public demonstration seem to have done more to bring about the stopping of German opera in New York than any other agency. The Mayor had been informed that several hundred sailors planned to march to the Lexington Theatre, Monday evening and raise a rough house. In anticipation of trouble one hundred police and fifty detectives were sent to keep order. "Several hundred sailors gathered about the theatre early in the evening and attracted a large crowd," reports the New York World. "There were over three hundred patrolmen and as many provost guards on hand to keep the soldiers and sailors moving. The soldiers at first were skeptical, having been told that the plan was to keep the theatre dark until 9 o'clock and then begin the performance. "A report spread that a German play was being presented at the Irving Place Theatre, and a group of men in uniform went to the playhouse downtown. Then they found out that the play was being given in Yiddish." Joseph Kastner, chairman of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Committee, has given out a statement that plans will be discussed to keep German operas from being pre- --- sented not only at present but in the future, while the National Round Table Club, composed of the presidents of fifty female organizations, has given out a statement condemning the production of German opera and deploring the fact that already there are too many indications of our not being alive to the beginnings of German propaganda. To colored Americans the campaign against German opera is a trivial matter compared to the un-American propaganda which upholds such vicious screen presentations as "The Birth of a Nation" and teaches the false doctrine of "All white men up and all black men down." After all, aversion against German opera is a mere matter of sentiment; the anti-Negro propaganda strikes at the very roots of the fundamental principles of democracy. It is with some alarm and trepidation that we observe the disposition of our sailors and soldiers to take the law in their own hands. They have a right to protest, and vigorously so; but nowadays, judging from newspaper accounts at home and abroad, they are disgracing themselves and their uniforms by participating in riotous demonstrations which reflect discredit rather than credit on themselves and their country. We cannot help but feel that if they would riot in New York or London they would just as soon take an active part in lynchings in the South and elsewhere, giving additional impetus to the mob-spirit fostered by "The Birth of a Nation."

STIRRING DRAMAS AT THE LAFAYETTE Full of life and incident "The Story of the Renegy" the military embattlement which is at the Lafayette Theatre this week—acts the red blood, coursing through the veins so soon the certain gale-up for the opening act and hope it racing all the evening. It is a play admirably suited to the times, with its dashing officers and troopers, its crack of rifle, its wounded colonel and misleading warrior, and its glorious victory. Through it all runs a familiar tale of human love and faithful lovers. Andrew Bishop as Captain Paul Romain, Miss Cleo Deamond as the Princess, gave an ideal presentation of the stirring drama. The same is true of the work of M. L. Pryor, Arthur Simmons, Chas Gilpin, Arthur T. Ray, Charles H. Moore, Linda Monagas, Miss Elizabeth Williams, Miss Lillian Gillam, and Miss Carotta Freeman. "The Guilty Man", a gripping drama sensation which scored such brilliant success at the Astor Theatre when produced by A. H.

Leslie King for Information Mobile, Ala.—An important after-war industrial opportunity being afforded Negroes in through the Chickasaw Shipbuilding Plant at Mobile. This plant is operated by the same officers as the Tuppesee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, both companies being subsidiaries of the United States Steel Corporation and have back of them all of the resources and capital which this corporation controls. In the establishing of the Chickasaw plant, many million dollars are being expended. It is the purpose of this company to use a very large proportion of Negroes, probably, some five thousand or more in the permanent work of building ships. The Chickasaw plant is not a "war baby" that will close when the exigencies of the war situation have passed, but like the Cramps Ship Yard and the Newport News Shipbuilding Company, it is to permanently build ships to go on the seas.

WE BUY THE GLOBE A representative list will be issued on publication once a good agreement is made. Miss C.J. Walker 600 West of Buffalo, N.Y. Gross opportunity We appre The Chickasaw Shipbuilding Company affords a great after war opportunity for Negroes. It is a great opportunity, not only because of the number of Negroes to be employed, but also as to the fines of work that are to be open to them. They are not to be confined to miskilled labor, but are to be given opportunity to enter every line of work that the plant affords. This company is to build the new kind of ship, those constructed out of fabricated steel. The plates for these ships are to be manufactured in the plate shops located at Fairfield, a suburb of Birmingham, Ala. If the Negroes make good, the two plants, Fairfield and Chickasaw, will employ a total of some five thousand or more. It is assumed that Negro labor is going to make good. This assumption is being based on the experience that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, under which the Chickasaw Shipbuilding Company is operated, has had as being the largest employer of Negro labor in the United States. This company, which operates in the Birmingham (Alabama) district, employs, altogether, in its coal mines, iron, blast furnaces, coke plant, rolling mills and steel works, some fifteen thousand Negroes. This group of laborers, on the whole, has been found to be dependable, and to a greater or lesser degree, efficient. There is also the example of the success which the Newport News Shipbuilding Company has had in employing several thousand Negroes in the construction of ships. Assuming, therefore, that Negro laborers are going to make good, there has been erected, in advance, for them, both at the Fairfield plant and at the Chickasaw plant, nearly two thousand modern bungalow cottages of from two to six rooms, which are attractive in appearance, completely screened, including the porches, well drained and have proper ventilating facilities. Running water, electric lights and all sanitary provisions of a modern up-to-date village are provided. Exceptional educational facilities are furnished for the children of the Negro workmen who are to be employed at these plants. At each place, several thousand dollars have been expended in erecting modern, undergraduate school buildings where the children of the employees will have nine months schools every year under the direction of the best instructors that can be secured. The class rooms are well U NEED A HOME We have them, or will build to order. If you have $100 or $200 it will do the act. HOMESEEK-ERS, 107 High St, Cranford, N. N.J.

In the construction of the plant, at Chickasaw, the Negro was given opportunity to do skilled work. One of the division superintendents in carpenter work was a colored man, M. W. Goodson. He had under him twenty-two foremen and some two hundred and fifty carpenters, who in the construction of houses, office buildings and barns showed their ability. It was reported that these men, both in the quality of work done and in out-put, equaled the work done by the white carpenter gangs which were used at Chickasaw. The Chickasaw plant was established in the early part of 1918. Among the first work started was a riveting, school where colored men could be trained in ship construction. This was necessary. Excepting the instructors, all in the school are Negroes. In spite of the difficulties of the labor situation and the scarcity of laborers, several hundred men have been trained in riveting work because, in the lower South, steel ship construction had not been going on. There were in this section practically no workmen skilled in building steel ships, and are engaged in the construction of steel barges. Three of these barges, 140 feet long and 25 feet beam, have already been launched, and a fourth one is on the ways and will soon be ready to go into the water. These barges are the handiwork of these recently trained Negro ship constructors. An important advantage of these riveting school is that the men are being paid while being taught, receiving around thirty-six cents per hour. When they become efficient as riveters, they will be able to earn from $5 to $8 a day and in exceptional cases, even more. The following are some of the particular lines of work that will be open to Negroes at the Fairfield Plate Shops and the Chickasaw Shipbuilding Plant. When the work at these plants gets fully under way, there will be angelsmiths and anglesmiths's strikers and helpers. They will bend and weld angle frames and staple work for the bulkheads and watertight floors. There will be blacksmiths and blacksmith's strikers and helpers who will forge fittings on the ships, such as rail stanchions, ring bolts, pad eyes, pipe flanges, etc. The furnacemen and furnacemen's helpers will bend plates, angles and steel shapes to the required curves or beveling angles and channels for ship work. There will be bolters and linermen who will assemble and bolt up, temporarily, the several parts of the ship so that they can be permanently riveted. They will also, where required, fit liners for the riveters. The cementers and the cementers' helpers will put cement in forward and after peak tanks or elsewhere about the ship and in the fresh water tanks, the wash rooms, etc. There will be chippers who will trim off and smooth the edges of plates and castings. After the chippers will come the callers, who will see that all edges of plates, rivet heads, etc., are made The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily distorted image with no discernible content. watersight. The drillers and remembers when necessary, will alter holes in the plates so that they will match properly. When holes are uneven, the remembers will, by reaming, make them cylindrical so that the rivets will entirely fill the holes and thus prevent play of plates and leakage. The drillers and remembers, because of their opportunity to do place work, will be among those receiving the highest pay. There will be ship fiters, joiners, machinists, painters and punchers. The riveters, with their assistants, the buckers, heaters and passers, will occupy one of the chief places in the ship construction and will be among those receiving the highest pay. Another advantage of this industrial opportunity at the Chickasaw Shipbuilding Plant and the Fairfield Plate Shops is that there is to be no discrimination in wages paid whites and Negroes. The Negro workmen are to receive the same pay that white workmen receive for the same kind of work. RALEIGH, N. C. Raleigh, N. C.-The funeral of Thomas Daves was held from St. Paul's Church, March 3.

Illness prevented other out-of-town relatives from being present. Property, every arrangement of the fiber or bifurcation system is a liver complicant; but the peculiar state now referred to is a CHRONIC AFFECTION, and it equally arises from terpid or cognitive state of that important organ. Sometimes the bile is deficient in quantity or vitiated, or both these states prevail at the same time. Sometimes the disease is caused by an obstruction in the duct or plea which causes the bile from the liver into the bowels. This construction is very frequent and is usually caused by the pipe being clogged up by thick, tenacious slime, mucus, and sometimes by gall stones. The bile is then thrombosed into the gall bladder where it is absorbed by numerous small vessels which convey it to the Thoracic duct, and from the chase the bile is conveyed to the heart, and becomes mixed with the blood. The bile in this manner being diverted from its proper course and circulating in a part of the body where it was never designed by nature, produces oily and often dangerous effects upon the health of the individual for want of healthy bile to mix with the half-digested food. As result, costiveness, or alternately, costiveness and diarrhee, prevail; together with wind in the stomach, and bowels, and the patient is often annoyed with worm, and frequently with Piles. The coarse particles of the bile that mixed with this blood, more or less abstract the porous of the skin and small blood vessels, and hence give rise to various diseases of the skin. It becomes more or less yellow, and sometimes there is a perfect jaundice. The white of the eyes also has a green or yellow tinge. More or less bile is strained off from the blood in its passage through the kidneys, and is mixed with the urine. The tongue is usually coated with a white or brown scurf. There is irritation and frequently chronic inflammation of the inner surface of the stomach and bowels. Sometimes there is a leathing of food and at other times there is a voracious appetite. There is a feeling of oppression across the stomach and chest, as if pressed down by a weight; troublesome and often frightful dreams; few sprites, languor and want of energy. To sum up in a few words, a sensation of fullness and distortion across the abdomen, with tenderness on pressure; tumesness of spirit, Milkweeds, Collies and Silious Diarrhoea and Dysentariosis; Obstinate Coordination, Jaunies, oo, may all originate from the same cause—a danged state of the liver. The most successful treatment is to give the patient every night on going to bed from one to two laxaria tablets, or amount of them to begin intubating from the bowels next morning. The dose of laxaria can be increased or diminished at pleasure, so as to produce the above effect, and their use should be continued as long as needed. Usually three or four boxes of Laxarin, at the most alx, are needed. Laxarin is sold by the Laxarin Products Co., Dept. E-196, Pittsburgh, Pa.
