Efforts made last, week by colored Baptists to secure the election of a Negro as head of the Virginia Union University, located at Richmond, proved unavailing. Acting President Clark, white, formerly dean of the Theological Department, was chosen by the Board of Trustees. The request that a northern alumnus in the person of Dr. W. P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, New York, be elected to membership of the board was favorably acted upon. After holding a meeting at 2014 6th avenue, the delegation went to the rooms of the American Baptist Mission Society 23 E. 20th street, and through its spokesman, Dr. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, made an appeal for the election of a colored man as president of Union. Dr. Hervey in responding to Mr. Alexander's plea said that he sympathized with the feelings of the alumni but thought at this particular time it would be well to elect a white president because of the need of additional funds for endowment, that after the necessary funds had been secured the school would be turned over to a colored president. The delegation was composed of E. K. Jones, chairman; N. B. Dodson, the Rev. William J. Jones, Roselle, N. J.; the Rev. E. A. P. Cheek, Newark; the Rev. P. C. Neal, Baltimore; the Rev. J. W.

The trenches, machine-gun nests and other agencies of death on exhibition in the war zone possess a weird fascination and are of absorbing interest; but the graves of fifty colored Americans who bravely died "over there" to help make the world safe for democracy is the picture most indelibly printed on my mind—one I shall never forget. It was Christmas eve when I visited the spot in France where half a hundred of our black boys sleep beneath foreign yet friendly sod. The hour was 3 p.m. and darkness was fast approaching. Lowering clouds and a whining wind helped to make the occasion a solemn one. The fifty heroes are buried less than ten feet from a roadway connecting Metz and Nancy, and only a short distance from Pont-A-Mousson. Several days before the graves had been pointed out to Dr. R. R. Moton by Col. W. H. Carpenter of the 351st Field Artillery, who had escorted the party through the trenches built by the Germans in La Cote Hill. Upon returning from Metz Dr. Moton suggested that we pay our respects to the dead. Those alighting from the automobile to honor the departed colored heroes included Dr. Moton, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the U. S. Bureau of Education; Clyde R. Miller, representative of the Cleveland Plaindealer; a French officer, who was acting as our interpreter; Nathan Hunt, travel secretary to Dr. Moton; our, white chauffeur, who (Continued on Second Page) Southern Women Oppose Amendment.

James Clinton was taken for the motorman who is charged with having assaulted the colored man, and when attacked by an infuriated crowd of Negroes ran into the Carnegie Library, 103 West 135th street. By this time there were fully two thousand outside of the library and the leaders battered down the doors and reached Clinton, who was stabbed four times. Patrolman Joseph Mahon was hit in the head with an from cuspidor and Patrolman Henry Bosheimer struck with rocks before the disturbance was quelled. St. Mark's Lyceum went, on record against prohibition last Thursday evening, when the subject was vigorously dis- diseased. The Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's A. E.

Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was one of the principal speakers at the meeting of the Roosevelt Permanent Memorial National Committee, held Monday morning at the committee headquarters, 1 Madison avenue. Other speakers included Elihu Root, Will H. Hays, Senator Kellogg, General Wood, Governor Goodrich and Walter Damrosch. Monday evening members of the committee were guests of Col. William Hoyce Thompson at the Waldorf Astoria. Others who attended the meeting and were present at the dinner included Charles E. Hughes, Governor Beckman of Rhode Island and Charles Serliner. At the dinner given at the Waldorf Astoria the committee unanimously passed the following resolution: "Resolved, that a fund be raised for the following specific objects: 1.

Sunday last. County officials are investigating the case which gives every evidence of being murder. Edward Lee is now held at the County Jail on a charge of grand larceny in connection with the finding of Jackson's automobile. N. Y. Republicans to Recommend to Congress Way to Make Operative 15th Amendment The first move on the part of Republicans to have Congress enforce the Fifteenth Amendment was made at the regular meeting of the Republican County Committee, held March 20, when William S. Bennet introduced and had referred to the Executive Committee the following resolution: "Resolved, That the Executive Committee be requested to report to this committee at the April meeting the best method in its judgment to be recommended to the Congress of the United States to enforce the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, providing: "The rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." The introduction of the resolution was greeted with applause, and it is said that the majority of members on the Executive Committee favor giving it serious consideration. On the same evening Mr. Bonnet offered the resolution the Republican County Committee was addressed by Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Mrs. Roosevelt. "Y" MAN WRITES OF EXPERIENCES ABROAD The diverse treatment contrasting the work of the Y. M. C. A. in France is told in the following letter by Charles M. Williams, Sergeant-Major of the Second Battalion of the 511th Pioneer Infantry: "Today for the first time since being a member of the A. E. F. I have been able to see a copy of your valuable paper. The one that I saw was dated November 30, 1918. Even though of a late date, the news contained therein was new to many of us. At home The New York Age is an ever welcomed visitor. The one copy of your paper has been read by at least 250 enlisted men and officers of our organization. You will doubtless be interested to learn of some of the experiences of some of the soldiers of our race over here. Before coming to France this organization spent some time in England. The people of England were very kind to us, not so much because we were Negro soldiers, but because we were Americans. The first camp in which we were stationed in England was Camp Knotty Ash, Liverpool. Here we found a very fine bunch of men, both white and black. There was only one Y. M. C. A. in the camp, used by both colored and white soldiers.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.—After a campaign lasting over nine months, the Mercy Hospital and School for Nurses has taken title to the site of the Divinity School of the Episcopal Church at 50th and Woodland avenue. For the past twelve years Mercy Hospital has been located at 17th and Fitzwater streets, where it has been doing conscientious work administering to the sick and training colored women as nurses. For some time it has been realized by its Board of Directors that in order to properly and more efficiently meet the demands of the community it should expand: Last summer the opportunity of securing these well adapted buildings in West Philadelphia presented itself, and an effort was immediately put forth to secure the funds necessary to purchase the plot. The price was $122,500. The site provides everything to make possible the developing of an up-to-date institution, the equal of any in the country. The grounds comprise six acres extending more than an entire city block. The main building, built of gray stone, is more than three hundred feet in length and will provide for upwards of two hundred patients in ward; and private rooms. Directly on the rear is a large modern residence which will be used as the nurses' house. A chapel and library building at the east and west end of the main building respectively complete the group.

"Matt" Bullock, former football star, is referred to as the "uncrowned hero of the old 15th Regiment." Under it he rendered valiant service to the boys of the regiment during the September drive, risking his life almost daily. The Rev. Benjamin C. Robeson, until a short time ago chaplain of the regiment, has written the following appreciation of Mr. Bullock. It was not long ago that all New York anxiously, confidently bade adieu to this history-making regiment.

DOINGS OF 317TH LABOR BATTALION WITH THE AMERICAN EXPERTIONARY FORCES, France.—The monument of the late Henry W. Richardson of New Al- True to their trust they went forth fighting within and fighting without, yet undaunted. Conscious of their lofty mission, longing to enjoy the rewards of its accomplishment, they forgot the grievances which tormented them and country hurled the Stars and Stripes in the face of the enemy, crying, "We must make the world safe for democracy." The battle is over, the victory won, and civilization saved. Just a few days ago, you welcomed them home again. How proud you were of them and their deeds. They had written into the book of history a chapter even time will not efface—the Fighting Fifteenth. You saw the flag as it waved proudly bearing a Croix de Guerre; you embraced the immortal Johnson, who stands without a peer; you watched the resolute step of Sergeant Butler, who breathes the air of fame; you saw others whose names were written on the banner of the daring and exceptionally brave. Of them I would not speak, you know their deeds, you witness their reward. I wish to speak of one who still plods the path of duty with an infectious smile, happy and patient because he knows time will dip her pen in the ink of justice and rightly bear it. Sergeant Butler (wm. call him Matt), who wears the badge of the faithful and walks with the step of the worthy. Who, when the boys were weary, slapped them on the back and said "carry on." and when their faith wavered threw the flaming torch of sane counsel ahead and cried, "Boys, go to it." Just before that memorable drive of September 25 the boys were without anything to smoke. Their nerves were tingling with the tension of the hour. The great adventure stared them in the face, the supreme sacrifice waited their coming on the hills beyond. The Y. M. C. A. was not present with the goods. Matt Bullock went to Chalons, 'faced the authorities, and said: "I have nothing to give my men and they storm the heights tomorrow. I must have something or I cannot go back." He was sent many miles away. He went, he was satisfied. The men had gone into battle, the campaign was on. Every morning as the cannon were belching, men falling and bullets whizzing, over the hill came a human form. On his back were strapped ten or more cartons of cigarettes, cigars and even the old reliable chew. On he came, now and then dropping for shelter, as Minnie would cry, "How dare you!" Men wondered why he came into that region of death. When twilight wrapped the hills in its shadows, back came the same form empty handed; weary, but game. His coming and going stopped when there was no regiment to serve. He wears no Croix de Guerre upon his breast, but within his breast throbs the spirit of devotion—devotion to God, country and race. The multitudes will see no D. S. C. to testify to his courage in that hour, but listen to the reflective melody sung by the boys of the old Fifteenth and you will hear of a faithfulness and service approaching that of the lowly Nazarene. No Legion of God will proclaim his rank with the worthy, but you will be one member of this grand old frequent friend the breath of life the name of Matthew W. Bullock will be heard and its worth will be sung. Let us all honor the uncrowned hero, BENJAMIN C. ROSSON. Chaplain 804th P. Inf. (formerly 39th). Escaped Censure. "She is a blamed pretty woman!"

SUPO-SINO PHOTO MEDICINE CO. ATLANTA, GA DOINGS OF 317TH WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES, France.—The monument of the late Henry W. Richardson of New Albany, Ind, is now in course of construction "irr the National Cemetery at that place. This monument is being constructed from the best (Barre, V50), marble and its cost will be $50, which has been fully paid in by the officers and men of the battalion. The inscription will read: "E. Pluribus Unum, Private Henry W. Richardson, Company A, 317th Labor Battalion, Q. M. Corps, U. S. Army; died at sea, enroute to France, July 10, 1918; age 30 years, 6 months, 10 days. This monument was erected by his comrades as a memorial for the passing of a good soldier and good man. Their names are deposited in the foundation of this monument." This soldier formerly lived at 41 Vincennes street, New Albany, Ind. Credit for the erection of this monument is largely due to the battalion commander, Capt. Charles C. Church, Q. M. Corps, U. S. Army. The 31th Labor Battalion is made up of men mostly from Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. The writer is acquainted with a great number of them and I am sure the papers back home are being eagerly watched, for news of their sailing for home from France. There are a great number of labor battalions among the American Expeditionary Forces and the 317th is the most popular of them all, officers and men alike. At present we are stationed at Is-sur-tille, Cote Der, France, in the advance section, services of supply. I am sure that the supplies that the battalion has handled have reached every corner of the A. E. F. and had their effect in winning the war. The sick rate and death rate are no doubt, far lower than in any other labor battalion in France. All the men get along fine; there have been few court-martials, and few complaints. We all have had an opportunity to go to Dijon, Grenoble, Lyon, Nice, Paris, Challes Les Ehax and many other places on leaves of absence, which not every organization has enjoyed. These leaves range in duration from 3 to 14 days. All the officers are white, save First Lieut. R. P. Bashaears, D. C., who is the dental surgeon. All the non-commissioned officers in the battalion are colored, including the sergeant major and non-commissioned officers of the headquarters staff, which is quite a distinction enjoyed by not more than three others out of the 45 or fifty labor battalions over here. There is Sergeant Major Denver S. Ferguson, who is well known in Detroit, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis, a Kentuckian by birth; Quartermaster Sergeant David E. Johnson, from Paris, Ky.; Personnel Sergeant M. Roberts from Noblesville, Ind., who keeps things going at battalion headquarters. There are First Sergeant Clarence B. Bakett of Indianapolis, Sergeant A. A. Dickerson, First Sergeant Samuel J. Jones, E. Wainie, Sergeant Arthur Fort of Evansville, Sergeant Oneth M. Trawls of Monticello, Ky.; Wilson L. Haskins, Lexington, Ky.; First Sergeant Charles Hill, Jr. and Sergeant Otto E. Washington, St. Paul, Minn. All go in a large measure towards keeping things going as non-commissioned officers in the companies. The boys all get letters asking, "When are you coming home?" We all smile, because it's the very thing we want to know ourselves. We occasionally receive copies of Tir New York Age and other publications published by colored editors, but in general the number is always too few. The copies are read, re-read and then read again by dozens until they are worn out. We have a Y. M. C. A. with a very nice library under the charge of Prof. Jackson of Louisville, Ky. He is very much aware of all welcome. There are movies every other night, boxing contests and general work for the boys all the times. Prof. Jackson is going to start a French class. He will have two native French teachers. A number of the boys speak French quite fluently. The 317th Labor Battalion has its own band. They play at the Y. M. C. A. on occasions of interest and have several times gone to surrounding towns and stages to play for others. I do not help with battalion training in France with a band. Just wait until they hit New York and take a circle around the Statue of Liberty. The 317th Labor Battalion was organized at Camp Zachary Taylor, Ky., last May and came over seas in June and early July. No doubt many an anxious heart is waiting for these boys back to understand quite a number of them may be there. Well, we expect to see more action when we get back to Camp Zachary Taylor. LARGE FUNERAL, AT ASHVILLE, ASHVILLE, N. C.-One of the largest (Special to The New York Am) (Continued from first page.) white man, but they were man. From Camp Knight Ash we went to Camp Winnel Down at Winchester, England. Here the spirit was very much the same as at the camp, which we had just left. Here too the Y. M. C. A. man were very kind and on the job at all times, seeking to help as many as possible regardless of race or creed. From Camp Winnel Down we went to La Havre, France, just across the English Channel, to the American rest camp (that is if you get a chance). Here again we found everything so far as the races were concerned getting along 'fur straight' (both sides hold their 'fur' straight). The Y. M. C. A. was a great factor in the lives of the soldiers here, as at the other camps where we had been stationed. "We left La Havre and weft to the extreme southern part of France to Marseilles, right on the Mediterranean Sea. Here, at Camp Covington, our experiences changed; instead of finding the good feeling of brotherhood and fair play we found, much to our surprise, an intense race feeling. Not among the French people, but among our own Americans, supposed to be comrades in service. The Y. M. C. A. had up till this time won its way into our hearts; it had proved itself to be an indispensable factor in the lives of the soldiers. Here we found only a small tent, one side of which was used for white soldiers and the other for Negro soldiers. Newspapers were, furnished the white soldiers; none to the colored soldiers. On one occasion I asked the secretary in charge for a paper, and he responded very harshly, "What you want a paper for?" I did not get the paper. Many of the other soldiers were also treated the same way. "As the camp grew in numbers the Y. M. C. A. decided to put up a building, and the newspaper was colored in exclusively. Many of the articles that were sold in the new building, were not for sale in the tent; hot cocoa, newspapers, toilet supplies, etc., could not be purchased at the tent. I remember on one occasion, at the request of our adjutant, who was a very fine man, I went to the Y. M. C. A. to purchase a newspaper, Stars and Stripes. The Y. M. C. A. secretary positively refused to sell me the paper. "In the course of time the colored men got together and decided not to patronize the tent "Y," which resulted in its closing down altogether. About this time the colored moss hall was completed and a small canteen was placed here by the Y. M. C. A., which was no better than the one in the tent. Chaplain William T. Amiger, a very excellent worker, did all that was within his power to make things pleasant for us; he organized clubs, which gave excellent entertainments, he also established a school for the unlettered men. The interesting thing about Chaplain Amiger's school was that he did not wait until he had been ordered to start a school by the government, but when the order came out to the commanding officers to establish post schools, Chaplain Amiger had already begun the work. The Y. M. C. A. did not offer to assist him in his work until he had already made good; then they sought to carry away some of the honors, which are justly due to Chaplain Amiger. I do not intend that this shall be a criticism of the Y. M. C. A. in general, but I do believe that many mistakes were made in the selecting of men whose hearts were not in accord with the great heart of its leader. Dr. John R. Mott. "There was a venereal stockade at Marsville, in which both colored and white were together. A certain officer chanced to pass and seeing the whites were inclined to make friends with the colored, this officer sought to advise a soldier in the district of the colored. The white soldier responded 'You must think I'm a damn fool.' "Fortunately, the officers of the 811th Pioneer Infantry are men of the highest type; some are from the South and others from the North, but it makes no difference, they are men in the 'true meaning of the word. However, there were a few officers here in the same camp who were boiling over with prejudice. In the city of Marseilles the French hotels, and cafes serve everybody, regardless of race or creed. I happened to be in one of the large cafes and a captain walked in. He approached me and said: 'What the hell you doing in here; this is for white folks.' The waiter, a Frenchman, who could understand English, hearing these words, came running up to the table and said to the captain: 'We finished with you; get the hell out. American (referring to me) all right; don't give a damn about his color.' "I know of another soldier of Negro blood who had been to the front and won several honors for great valor displayed in warfare. He met a lieutenant and saluted him, as is required b ylow, somehow or other the lieutenant did not feel that he had been given the proper salute. The officer stopped the colored soldier and said: 'I have more trouble with one of my Negroes than I do with a whole regiment of whites.' The colored soldier responded thus: 'Lieutenant, I was on the front and that just what the Germans told us.' I would like to tell you mare, but duty calls and I must close. You may rest assured that we must try circumstances the Negro has remained loyal to the Stars and Stripes. We shall expect on our return to the states to note the growth of democracy in America, a democracy that will be broad enough to overheap the bounds of color.

OFTER SILENT PRAYER FOR MERCY RESTING IN FRANCE (Continued from first page.) home is in Texas, and The Acoz repre- sentative. Dr. Moton proposed that we offer a silent prayer, for the dead, so all the members of the party took off their hats and with bowed hands we stood mute for several seconds, only the murmuring of the wind breaking the deepy allones. The scene was a most touching one and both white and colored men, Americans and French, Northerners and Southerners, were visibly affected. No one felt abashed because tears trickled down his cheeks. Dr. Moton was the first to speak, and choking with emotion, remarked that there rested in the graves before us young men who had come thousands of miles to fight for democracy but who never had known what real democracy was at home. I took the names of four of the dead soldiers. They were Sidney Robinson, Tom Finner, Chester Nuhols and Aulmon Hayes, managed to make out Aulmon Hayes number, which was 160455. On some of the graves had been placed flowers which, too, had withered and died. From one grave Dr. Motton took a metallic vase which at one time held a floral tribute. This memento he brought back to the United States. It has been painted white and the students of Tuskegee Institute are to keep it filled with flowers in memory of our colored soldiers whose last resting place is thousands of miles away from home. While hundreds of colored Americans lost their lives in the great world war and their bodies are interred in France, specific reference has been made to the fifty graves near Pont-A-Mousson for the reason that our party knew, positively that they sheltered the remains of from America. We had no authentic information to the wheeboats of other colored soldiers who also gave their lives to save civilization. They cannot speak, but if they could the fifty colored soldiers in question, as well as hundreds of others called by the Grim Reaper, would unhesitatingly say that while they gave their lives to make the world safe for democracy, they gave their lives in particular, to make America safe for democracy and democracy safe for America.

Physical Department BY DR. WELLSMAN. Intestinal Parasites, The Nematoder or Round Worms. Of the many species of parasitic worms it is fortunate that only a comparative few varieties are found in human beings. Of these the Round Worms, 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 *birth worm*, being pinkish-white or red-brown in color, and varies in length from 5 to 10 inches, according to sex. Ordinarily, they imply smaller intestine, but frequently wander into the stomach, when the disturbance due to the movements causes them to be vomited; hence they derive the familiar name *Stenach 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 cages 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 recognised 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 sevev nervous disturbances, such as epileptiform convulsions/ grinding the teeth and restless sleep, disturbances of vision, abdominal pains, 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 to determine, by jumping at the conclusion that the child has epilepsy or defective eyes, or is just had 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 plentiful 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 organs and processes, Laxcarin will be found most valuable. Laxcarin is sold by the Laxcarin Products Co., Dept. E. 196, Pittsburgh, Pt. Price per box one dollar, full treatment, five dollars, sent payment upon receipt of cash money orders or stamps.

It, is even re- ported that applause greeted the in- troduction of a resolution request- - ing the executive committee to re- port at the April meeting the best method to he recommended to Con- gress to enforce the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment. * "The signitigance of this, action can be measured by the fact that tlie introducer of the resolution was former Representative Wil- liam S. Bennet, who has, achieved no little distinction hy reason of his independes.e and aggressive- ness. These qualities are sadly needed among “Republican leaders .of the present and-it is t» be hoped that ‘Mr. Bennet may be able to get his colleagues to speak out boldly. In the mentimne the voters of the Negro race ean do much to support and encourage such efforts: to put backbone ante the Republi- can party. ‘The ignotde and supine inditferee manifested by the party at large sowaed st: siu. ol che suifrage in varions Somthern Sides cannot ie aiiowed to continue. “The events of the past few years have shown the evil results of such a ‘policy, on the country at large.

Foreigners could there be tanght what ix. what and in this way be imate good American citizens.” ‘The chief fault with this propo: Sition is that it is too limited in its scope. The, greatest need for the -teaching of true Americanism is not 6nly amuag those of forcign extraction, but among these whose Mative habitat for generation has been the neck gf the woods from Which* this visitor came. . The Americanism that Rooserett taught and lived .was the cult df “the square deal”; “all men up:and ‘no men down.” The crying need of America is the extension of this teaching to all-classes of its popu- lation, both North and South. It shotld be taught not only in the colleges, but in: the schools ‘of the country, both by example and pre cept. ‘ The | gentleman from - Texas should” expand his proposition, so ‘as to do the greatest good to the greatest number. ‘ SOME WAR VERSE. . | The valor of the ‘black soldier has not Jacked for celebration it ,| verse by bards of. various degrees |Some of the poetry was ‘old am Jsome fresh from the wings of Pe gasus, but the spirit was the same it |generous’ recognition of heroi | deeds, regardless of the color o the doers. - The retum-of the Old Fifteentl in New York City was celebratec by the reprinting by the New Yort Herald of George H.

JAPAN FORCES THE RACE IssuE. . . Japan has thrown awrench into-the machinery that is grinding g| Out the League of Nations at Paris. She has done this by raising >| the race issue and forcing it right up to the point where it must be -|met and met squarely. " : Japan takes the position that racial discrimination is one of the \Jgravest dangers to the future peace of the world and that if the white governments are not willing to waive that discritaination now S!they will not be inclined to do so later. She insists that unless the | Japanese are placed’ on an equal footing with other nations the | League will inevitably break up or lead to~war. 1) - "The Japanese hold that equality of nations in all respects is the “{ very essence of the League; that discrimination against a State mem- ‘ber of the league because of color is unthinkable and absolutely *|foreign to the ideas ‘of equality and, justice upon which the league {Vis founded. _ - : So the Tokio Government, “in order to climinate certain dangers ‘of the futur#in connection with the league’ has instructed the Jap- MVanese delegates in Paris to make every possible-effort to have the ‘|following amendment agreed to: j | + Equality between nations being a basic principle of the League of Na- tions, the high contracting parties agree to accord: as soon as possible | to all allen pationals of States members of the league equal and just |] treatment, ‘dition no distinction sither in law-dr in fact on account of race or'nationality, . . This. is a clear, straightforward statement, and in great contrast to the vague and general rhetorical expressions on democracy and humanity which of late have beerr so frequently made. Here is 3 statement which does not call for applause; it calls for action, direct and definite action one-way or the other. | | Mow will England ahd the United, States meet it? The British| colonics, especially Australia, are determined that they. will-not let down the bars of prejudice; and there is little doubt that California and the other Pacific states will take the same stand. What will be the attitude of President Wilson, who is both the father and the mother of the League of Nations idea? In our Rumble, but well founded opinion he will side step the issue if possible; and if he is compelled to face it, he will not.be inclined to give any such practical interpretation to the phrase, “Make the world safe for democracy.” Japan has such overwhelming justice on her side that it makes the issue she is fSreing a very embarrassing: question for the other powers, particularly England and the United States, who have been So’ repeatedly ‘mouthing the word “democracy” during the last few years. Japan rightfully contends that all citizens of nations deemed sufficiently advanced to become members of the League should have equal rights when traveling or living in foreign countries. All the other nations know. this to be true and just: and that is what makes the Question such an embarrassing one. ~ Ii Japan fails to get her amendment adopted she will not refuse], to sign the league covenant; shé is too-guod a diplomat for that, She will rely on Article NIV of the covenant, which provides that: + It shall be the right of the body of delegates from time,to time to advise the reconsideration by State members of the league of jreatics |, which have become inapplicable of which the continuance may endanger the peace of the world. Under this article Japan will continue to point ont that racial]! discriminations endanger the peace of the world, and that the Teague ' covenant ought to be amgnded so as to abolish them. What will be the result if Japan succeeds in having her amend-_ hent adopted? It will mean that all Japanese subjects in the United States can demand that no distinction be made against them jn law or in facr on account of race or nationality, and that they be accorded treatment equal to that accorded to the citizens of any other nation || pr to the citizens of the United States. And if all the nations that] have delegates at the peace table become members of the league. |" then the citizens of Haiti and Liberia will be able to make the same] _ Jemands. 7 . Which means. to say that Japanese and Haitians and Liberians | . would have the legal right to make demands in the United States 4 which native born colored American citizens would not have. “The | ’ only direct effect of the amendment on colored Americans would be | | hat any, of them residing in a foreign country which was a member f the league could claim equal treatment in law and in fact to all ther citizens. K This would be a pretty situation, that there were certain Amer- “ can citizens who could secure the equal democratic treatment guar- nteed by the league only by leaving their country and going to a] | orcign Lande Yet this would be exactly the case. Tt would make] © he situation stilfmore paradoxical think that i) was the \merican | ‘resident who fathered the league. ™ In this connection, it may be news to some to learn that Germany as also fsamed-a covenant for a League‘of Nations. ‘This fact seems | t. ot to be well known in this country, but the entire text of the ip avenant was published in the London Times. We wish co call {ri srentinn te ters articles in Che Gernmas echewia: ab eration and so adjust them that justicé may be done to all: parties interested and the charch relieved of the cankerous sore of disunion that is hindering. its work ‘and diminishing its power for good.

From reports, it appears that 2 one-legged Negro in Mobile z| Mla, conceived the idea that he ‘could gain-not only glory but alsc z| wealth by posing ab Henry Johnson, the mighty slayer of Germans ¢|the greatest individual American hero that the war produced. * ‘This Mobile genius then proceeded to catry‘out his idea. He got *{hold of-some kind of a military uniform, and, according to descrip- *{tions given in the newspapers, no such. uniform is word at present | by asiy military body on earth, He then gathered an assortment of , | decorations and medals which ranged all the way frog 3 home-made “Iron Cross” to a. Knights Templar Ascalon commandery badge. *] Finally te had several hundred photographs made, which he sold at “|ten cents cach. With this oatft he started business. He is reported (]to have made speeches in Mobile, Atlanta, Montgomery and twenty ‘Jor mofe other cities. : ; A pastor of one of the colored churches in St. Louis was in the {South and heard the fake Henry Johnson speak. He thought it J would be a firte thing to have this great “hero” of the Negro race come to St. Louis and speak there. When this pastor returned homie he took the matter up with a number of other colored minis- ters and arrangements were made to have “Henry Johnson” appear. ‘The Coliseum was secured, the engagement advertised, and on the night of the affair seven thousand colored people packed the' monster auditorium. The mayér of St. Louis was there to introduce “Henry.” At-8:30, Mayor Kiel arose and made a: stirring speech praising Johnson and his deeds of valor; he concluded by saying: "And now it becomes my great pleasure to introduce to you the principal speaker of the evening, Sergeant Johnson the hero of heroes.” . The principal speaker of the evening arose, but his act of rising proved to beonly the first step toward his rapid and most undignified exit; for no sooner than he stood upon his, feet, or rather his foot, he was seized by the police, hust#ed down the aisle and thrown into a waitng patrol wagon. Mayor Kiel hurried home, the’ band played the “Blues” and the crowd left the building. : It seems almost incredible that a dozen or so ministers in a large }and metropolitan city like St, Louis could have been faked-in ‘such a manner as this; especially when it is considered that these minis- ters are residents of the state of Missouri, which has for its motto, “You'll have to show’me.” It is all the more incredible when it is}: known that the meeting which the fake Johnson was to address was held on the night of February 17. On the morning of February 17,]) the real Henry Johnson was parading up Fifth Avenue with the old/ Fifteenth Regiment, and afternoon papers of that date all over the], country heralded the news that Henry was the particularly bright star vi the parade. The slightest sort of intelligent’ inquiry would || have revealed to the managers of this affair that they were being {' duped. . . 3 ——_ 3 ‘ Kut there is another side to this otherwise humorous episode | + Eight churches are said to have been represented in the arrangements |‘ for the Coliseum meeting, and the box office receipts are said to have | ¢ reached $2,500, A newspaper report states that these eight churches] will divided the progeeds of the night's entertainment, and quotes! one of the interested ministers as saying, “It's an ill wind that blows! ! no man good, and the money .will be used for charitable purposes." |x We hope that this report is not true. The promoters of this fake], neeting have ao right to use the money received from it for any pur-] I pose whatsoever. The only legitimate thing for them to do is tof! return it to the people who paid admissions. In fact, the amount|u paid for admission or a claim for the amount should have been] fered to each ticket holder before the mecting was dismissed: then |S i any or ull of the ticket holders agreed to allow the money to be| ised for a charitable purpose, the committee would have had a clear|™ ‘ight ta so use it, . fe The men who arranged .to have the people of St. Louis hear|*! Sergeant Henry Johnson, if they paid money for. the opportunity, | & were under an obligation which they could not escape, and that |“ Migation was to produce the real Henry Johnson, or not take he people's money. 7 . 4 They will also find if they do not offer to refund the admissions] o1 tid in that the next time they want to get up 2 Coliseum meeting » heir prestige ay promoters will be greatly lessened, even if they do| se pend the money for charity. 9 It is written that charity covers a multitude of sins, but the text | hould not be interpreted so as to make it cover the sin of retaining x loney secured under false pretenses. 8 be ee ,e MOORE'S VISIT TO Rie ee eo To the Editar of Tu Naw Yorx Ace: fohetieve that the visit you tade in his state has done Tasting good to beth races.

TERMAR, P.O. 223 West 32nd St. New York THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS Moving Pictures Are Not Injurous To Eyes Experts Assert "Do moving pictures injure the eyes?" Officials of the New York Health Department may no. They do not believe the movies occasion as much discomfort as reading, and assert there are no cases on record showing that permanent harm has come to the eyes by gazing on the screen. Here is what the Weekly Bulletin of the Department of Health of the City of New York has to say on the subject: Moving pictures, under favorable conditions, do not cause as much fatigue as the same period of concentrated read- "When there is ocular discomfort there is usually some ocular defect which should receive the attention of the eye specialist. "When there is no such defect, at least four sittings of one and a half hours each week can be tolerated without discomfort. "Under favorable conditions, moving pictures causing fatigue, if continued, becomes unpleasant, may, if persisted in, become harmful, a condition which is greatly aggravated by fixed staring at one spot on the picture, a practice which should never be indulged in. "A review of the current literature records no permanent harm to the eyes from viewing motion pictures. The fact that about ten million (?), more or less, people enjoy moving pictures daily, with no definite reports of specific harm or injurious effect, and with but few complaints of slight inconvenience, indicates that viewing moving pictures can have no injurious effects upon the eyes." The public reads about the comical antics of George Hines, trap drummer, and of the singing of William Patrick, James. Hunt and Charles Waters, who help to make the performance given by the Cefl Club a success; the personnel of the New York Syncopated Orchestra is seldom mentioned without something is said about "Buddy" Gilmore, trap drummer; Frank Withers, the trombone wizard, and the Exposition Jubilee Four, but the local press has failed to tell of some of the well-known entertainers who appear on the program given by the 369th U. S. Infantry "Hell Fighters" Band, Lieut. James Reese Europe, conductor. Among those identified with the last mentioned organization are Al Johns, who does a pianolog; Lieut. Noble Sisle, who renders several songs accompanied by Lieut. Europe; Creighton Thompson in songs; Steve and Herbert Wright, trap drummers; the Singing Serenaders, composed of Thompson, Gibbs, Bumpford, Zabriskie, Smith, Viney, Lee and Payne, a saxaphone sextet, composed of Gonzales, Williams, Green, Ayala, Jones, Carter and Hernandez and those talented musicians ond Jeter, cellist, and Felix Weir, violinist. At the Manhattan Opera House Sunday evening the aggregation scored as big a hit as the previous Sunday when it made its initial bow to New York amusement lovers. Bert Williams is scoring the biggest hit of his career as a vaudeville artist. He is headliner at the Palace Theatre this week and lives up to the expectations of his many admirers. Under the heading "One Man Show at Palace Theatre," the New York Sun refers to his appearance in the following vein: "The bill at the Palace yesterday consisted in the main of acts in which a one featured player was supported by a company consisting entirely of himself. Bert Williams, the headliner, gave several varied impersonations and the other principal numbers on the program consisted of protean skirts in which the performer led double, triple and sometimes multiple life. "Williams ranged all the way from the divine—represented by his song about the colored person who told the gossiping deacons that what he did outside the pulpit was his own business—to the ridiculous, as depicted in his song about the dusky German who had something important in his cellar and who was bothered by folks asking him for the key to that cellar as July 1 approached. The ebony comedian also gave a recitation of 'Nobody.' at the request of the Old Guard of vaudeville patrons, and told stories. including one about his cousin who followed orders in the circus to clean out the lion's cage and was nearly cleaned out himself. "Altogether Williams demonstrated that he maintains his ability to shamble into popular favor." THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Moss & Frye are at the Colonial Theatre.

Moore, Samuel Jackson and Harold Le Seane are well cast. NEW SOLDIER FILM The Frederick Douglass Film Company has just released a picture portraying the colored soldier in active service and returning from overseas. From a standpoint of photography it is the best that has been produced showing colored characters. The features of the soldiers are distinct and easily recognized. Dr. W. S. Smith, picture director, who is said to be the only man of color who is able to follow a picture from start to finish—through the scenario, studio and laboratory, says it always has been a difficult thing for camera men to get good photography of colored people. Dr. Smith has become so well versed in this art that he can direct scenes with colored characters in rain or snow, as evidenced in the company's last film. Permission was secured to visit camps, embarkation stations and war ships in order to make the latest picture, and colored and white officers did everything to co-operate with the producers. The Frederick Douglass Film Company is owned and controlled by Negroes, and has connected with it Dr. George E. Cannon, manager and treasurer; Dr. W. G. Alexander; Walter Carter, W. M. Simmons and W. H. De Paur. The office of the company is 354 Pacific avenue, Jersey City, N. J.

McManus of the New York American, Bud Fisher of the Morning World, Clifton Meek and Bud Counihan of the Evening World, Phillips of the Globe, and W. E. Hill of the Tribune.

MORGAN TALKS FOOLISH ABOUT DRAWING LINE One of the sporting writers of the Evening Mail takes Ralph Morgan, secretary of the Intercollegiate Basketball League to task for injecting the color-line in sports. It would be interesting to learn where Morgan was born as well as to how he got his start, if any, in life. Most likely he is a white American who makes a big noise about "democracy" and does not know its real meaning. Here is the comment of the writer on the Evening Mail: "It has remained for the Intercollegiate Basketball League to bring up the color line in amateur sports. The proponent of this always ticklish subject is Ralph Morgan, secretary of the league, who has gone on record publicly as being against the playing of Negroes in such a personal contact sport as basketball. The player aimed at is Johnson, center of the Columbia University five and one of the best players on the Columbia team. "Mr. Morgan does not suggest that Columbia should drop Johnson from its squad, but the inference is plain, and if the cry is taken up at all it may be that Columbia will have on its hands a situation such as that which prevailed at Harvard when Matthews, the crimson's great Negro athlete, was at the height of his fame. "From a strictly impartial point of view it is difficult to see why race or color should bar any student from playing on any college team. Certainly Pennsylvania never entertained for a moment any suggestion that J. B. Taylor, one-time great middle-distance runner, be barred from the track team because he was a Negro, nor have Quakers kept an athlete off their teams because he was a Jap, a Cinnamon or a Hebrew. Mr. Morgan has stepped upon dangerous ground AEOLIAN HALL 24 WEST 43RD STREET NEW YORK CITY 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

Mrs. Nellie Moore Mundy and Miss Minnie Brown were heard again in their lecture, "The Development of the Negro Folk Song," and Master Eugene Mars Martin, violinist, also appeared. Mrs. Mundy has a fine delivery and in demonstrating on the piano the development of the African themes and later in the program when she played a Chopin number, showed herself a pianist of no mean ability. Her co-worker, Miss Minnie Brown, too, appeared to fine advantage. She was in fine voice staging the folk songs with beauty and dignity and the art songs with her usual style and grace. Master Eugene Mars Martin is developing a tone and strength that would do credit to one much older. He gave pleasure to all who heard him. SPRINGFIELD. MASS SPRINGFIELD, Mass.—With clearness and vividness Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, pictured to an audience of nearly two hundred people of the local branch in St. John's Church Wednesday evening a discouraging story of racial conditions in the Southland. Mr. White's speech had to do mainly with the lynching evil and discrimination in public places. He cited case upon case, the details of the most fragrant burning and hanging of colored men, women, youths and even recently returned soldiers by Southern mobs with practically nothing being done towards punishing these perpetrators of such heinous crimes. Mr. White said in effect that there has been an idea promulgated by some among colored people that by buying Liberty Bonds, enlisting and general loyalty this war would serve as a panacea for all national or sectional racial ills, but it has done nothing of the mind and things if the truth is told are just as bad as ever for the Negro.

Walley 600 West St. Indianapolis, Indiana. Open opportunity for Agents Who Invite WASHINGTON, D. C.—Plans have been formulated by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, the new President of Howard University, for the establishment here of an effective instrumentality for the higher education of the Negro. A program was adopted at a recent meeting of the board of trustees which is to be put into execution during the nine year. The physical aspect of Howard University is to be materially improved. By recommendation of President Darlene, the trustees have voted to erect several new buildings and to remodel the old structures, with a view of adding to both the beauty and utility of the school. A new administration building is to go up in the near future, and the untidy Georgia avenue approach to the grounds is to be altered beyond recognition. The campus is to undergo radical changes and improvements. A government landscape expert will supervise the work of laying out "Victory Avenue," to surround the picturesque Howard Hill, and which is to commemorate the past played by two armed men and the landscape of its vicinity and landscape development is also along lines suggested by the Fine Arts Commission. In this entire program of scholastic and physical improvement of "Greater Howard University" Dr. Durkee has the warmest approval and backing of the Secretary of the Interior and the most influential members of Congress, which will ensure the granting of the funds necessary to carry these ambitious projects to completion in due season. According to the plan outlined, the University will be reorganized on the more college plant, with senior schools. After the completion of two years' work in the junior college the student will enter into the "senior schools for special training, along lines of individual performance and adaptability. The senior schools are shown on a carefully prepared, well-composed curriculum of Medicine, Law, Theology, Music, Applied Science, Journalism, Commerce and Finance, Liberal Arts, Educational and General Service—the last-named to embrace Library training, and Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Military Science. Each school will have appropriate subdivisions. There is no truth to the rumor that De Durkee proposes to "eliminate" colored men from the faculty of Howard University. He makes it quite plain that some white men should be on the master of assistants, to foster a proper spirit of racial co-operation and friendly ammendance—but, it is to be his fixed policy that wherever equipment is anything like equal, the colored man will be given preference over white applicants.

Physical Department Property, every department of the river or billion system is a liver compartment but the posterior plate is not referred to in a CHINOIS APPROACH, and it usually arises from tendon or adjacent plate of that important organ. Sometimes the bile is dominant in quantity or whitened, or both these states prevail at the same time. Sometimes the disease is caused by an obstruction in the duct or plexus which carries the bile from the liver into the bursa. This obstruction is very frequent and is usually caused by the pipe being clogged up by thick, tamariscine algae or moss, and sometimes by gall stones. The site is then thrown back into the pipe bladder where it is absorbed by numerous small vascular which greeve it to the Thrush duck, and from thence the bile is conveyed to the heart, and becomes mixed with the blood. The bile in this mammary being diverted from the proper course and circulating in a part of the body where it was never designed by nature, produces oil and offenses diseases upon the health of the individual for want of healthy bile to suit with the half-digested food. As result, cestivines, or, alternately, cestivines and diarrhoeus, proceed; together with wind in the stomach and bowels, and the patient is often annoyed with worms and frequently with Piles. The coarse particles of the blip thus mixed with this blood, more or less construct the paras 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 junction. The white of the eye also has a green or yellow tinge. Here or less bile is drained off from the blood in the passage through the kidneys, and is mixed with the urine. The tongue is usually coated with a white or brown court. It is irritated and frequently chronic inflammation of the inner surface of the stomach and bowels. Sometimes there is a boiling of food and at other times there is a venerous appetite. There is a feeling of aggression across the stomach and chest, as if pressed down by a weight; troublesome and often frightful dreams, low spirits, languor and want of energy. To cum up in a few words, a collection of fulness and distention across the abdomen, with tenderness on pressure blemishes of apiris, Bilethus, Cotton and Biliethus Diarrhoeae and Dysentarthes; Obstinate Gastroenteritis, Jaundice, etc., may all originate from the same cause—a deranged state of the liver. The most successful treatment is to give the patient every night an on going bed from one to two laxarin tablets, or enough of them to impure擦擦 from the bovine next morning. The dose of laxarin can be increased or diminished at pressure, as so 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 six, are needed. Laxarin is sold by the Laxarin Products Co., Dept. E19, Pittsburgh, PA.
