Col. Wm. Jay Sheffelin presided and set forth the objects and benefits of the proposed council. Mr. Hutchison C. Bishop was chosen temporary chairman with authority to appoint a committee to formulate for a permanent organization, among those who expressed themselves favor of the project were Thomas Husby and Dr. Charles H. Roberts. It was explained that a Community council is the voice of the neighbor and the freest expression of democracy. It is an organization of neighbors calling together, regardless of race, politics, religion, or sex, and is a unit in a nation-wide, social official organization in direct touch with the borough, county, state, and federal governments through its various representatives. It is a neighborhood gateway to all the encounters of the city and nation. sentatives, the colored Socialist has a hard time attracting attention on State street. Six of Chicago's leading newspapers opposed Thompson's re-election.

A proposition placed upon the ballot to close the saloons May 1, was overwhelmingly defeated. Chicago voted wet 3 to 1. ed Motor Corps Women soldier out of ambulance was given for wounded.

President Hibbin was the first to grasp his hand at the conclusion of his address. After the addresses of the evening the ladies' Auxiliary, with Mrs. E. Woolridge, chairman; Mrs. J. Higgins, secretary, and Mrs. J. Gregory, treasurer, invited the boys and their friends to Douglas Hall, where they had prepared a mammoth appetit.

COLORED TROOPS MAKE GOOD WITH SCHWAB The return by 138 colored soldiers out of 154 of dollar bills sent them by Charles M. Schwab has reassured the former head of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation as to the progress of Bolshevism in the United States. "After observing conditions in Europe during my recent trip overseas, I returned home without worry as to the future of Bolshevism in this country," said Mr. Schwab. "I'll tell you an incident that will give you one of the reasons why I think so. I came home two weeks ago on a transport hearing several thousand Negro troops. There was a canteen aboard and the boys—those of them who were lucky at rolling the bones—were patronizing it liberally. I noticed one great big fellow giving the candy stand some very longing glances, but he wasn't doing my buying. "I went up to him and said: 'What's the big idea? Are you broke?' "Boss," he said, "I ain't seen no pay in five months." "Wrigh," I said. "I'm going to lend you a dollar. It's yours, and you needn't trouble 'about getting it back to me. That gave me an idea I decided to test those men just for the fun of the experiment. I made it known that I was willing to help out any of the men who were broke and one hundred and fifty-four of them responded. To each I said something like this: 'Now you needn't pay this back if you don't want to. You know me and where I am at. Suit yourself.'" "Do you know what? Up to date one hundred and thirty-eight of those boys have sent me the money they borrowed. It came out as I expected. The boys were sent to the core. That's one of the main reasons I'm not worrying about the United States going Bali." Among the passengers on the steamer La Tourraine which sailed for France Tuesday were Miss M. E. Suarez of Tuskegee Institute, Miss Thomas of Cleve- MISS W.E. SUAREZ land, Miss Evans of Hampton and Mrs. Turner of Atlanta, who are to take up war work overseas under the War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. They will work among the colored non-combatant troops in France, there being over 60,000 Negro soldiers from America serving as engineers and stevedores overseas. Two weeks ago five new canteen workers, four of whom are residents of Greater New York, sailed for France.

Arthur Woodwood stated that the Rotary Club had decided to make boys' work their major activity and had further agreed to begin this work with the under-privileged colored boy of Harlem. The formal plans were then presented by C. J. Atkinson, chairman of Boys' Work Committee of the Rotary Club, and the executive secretary of the Boys' Club Federation. He stated that in forming the Boys' Welfare Association the Rotary Club desired to secure a suitable club house for boys of this section large enough to accommodate 2,000 or more boys. These boys should be organized in clubs and classes under four or five trained workers, and that vocational training he made available for them. Mr. Atkinson also stated that the club's plans, embraced the opening of playgrounds, play streets, and the development of a permanent camp site. He pledged the Rotary Club for carrying the financial obligations involved in this project and asked that the people of this section show their interest and approval by giving their hearty co-operation and by becoming members of the Boys' Welfare Association. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, Dr. J. W. Brown, Fred R. Moore and others endorsed the project in words of approval. Mr. Moore then moved that the presiding officer be empowered to appoint a committee, not exceeding twenty-four, to cooperate with the 'Boys' Work Committee of the Rotary Club and to perfect plans in carrying out this project. This motion was seconded by Mr. Dennis and met with the approval of the house. Sixty-seven of those present signed cards pledging themselves either to (1) assist in raising funds; (2) to be a volunteer worker in some department, or (3) to promote the project at all times and on all occasions. After the conclusion of the program those present were served with a collation as guests of the Rotary Club. FITZGERALD AND McGUNNN WIN OUT IN BALTIMORE Baltimore, Md. ...

Bundy, who was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Circuit Court here Friday, March 28, have announced intentions of taking the case to the highest courts if necessary. If their motion for a new trial for the dentist is denied an appeal will be taken. Friends of Dr. Bundy who attended the trial were greatly surprised over his conviction, firmly believing that he is innocent of the murder charge and is a victim of persecution. Dr. Bundy's case has attracted widespread attention, as it grew out of the East St. Louis, Ill., riots in July, 1917, which Negroes were killed and injured and their homes destroyed by white ruffians. Subsequent developments brought to light that politicians of East St. Louis were in a large measure responsible for the outbreak of lawlessness which disgraced the State. The defendant was charged with inciting riots and the murder of Detective Samuel Coppedge and another defendant is the son of the Rev. Dr. policeman. He was the last of the Bundy of Cleveland, who is a presiding thirty-four defendants to be given prison terms. Twenty were white.

Richard Carroll, who made the closing address at the race conference here last week, resign as president of the conference, a position he has held for 17 years. Ill health was one of the principal reasons assigned for his resignation. It was estimated 6,000 persons attended. The Rev. Mr. Carroll, who has been president of the South Carolina Race Conference for seventeen years, carried it over the top this year. It has become so large that he has divided it into three parts—the Columbia Race Conference, which me the January 22 and 23; the Fee Dee Cosference, which me in Darlington February 4 and 5, and the Piedmont Conference which me the Greenwood March 25 and 26. The editor of the white paper in Greenwood estimated that there were more than six thousand persons in the city for the conference. The Rev.

They were sadly disappointed in not seeing him. Bishop George W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C., carried the crowd, white and black. He arrived on the second day. About three thousand persons were on hand. The other speakers on the program, white and colored, moved the crowd. Prof. D. H. Sims, a teacher at Allen University, read one of the best papers ever heard in the South, on "Grievances of the Negro." Some of the white people did not like it, but confessed that it was the truth. The Rev. Richard Carroll, president of the conference, stated that he had never heard a better paper along that line delivered in the conference, but was afraid that many of the white people did not want to swallow it.

SOLDIER SAYS THAT THE LORD LED THE WAY (Special to The New York Am.) LANCASTER, S. C.-James Parker, a member of the Machine Gun Company of the 371st Infantry, which was organized at Camp Jackson near Columbia, has returned from France with the regiment and is home again. He told me that he "we carried the flas over and brought it back. We helped to bring peace to the world. Our colored soldiers fought bravely in the drive which started on the 27th of September on the western front. It was said to be the greatest drive that was made during the war. We fought side by side with the French. We went over hills and hollows and shell holes while the enemy's cannon were dropping shells around us, so we marched toward the enemy. We were men mening over the field, but we could not stop that. It was very dangerous, but the Lord led the way through. "On the morning of Sept. 29 the Germans made a small attack on us. Our platoon was commanded by Lieut. Richardson, so we held them up and drove them out. Our men and two French soldiers so were added. The enemy shelled us so that we had to stay on that little spot until late in the evening and then we had to go out ESTABLISHED 25 YEARS MRS.

PATRIOTIC SERVICE AT SHEEPSHEAD BAY Patriotic services were held at the First Baptist Church, East 15th street Sheepshead Bay, Sunday last at 3 p. m. at which time several of the soldiers recently returned from overseas were entertained.

Rock read a patriotic paper and Miss Viola Jackson gave a welcome recitation. The Rev. J. W. Dennis, pastor, acted as master of ceremonies and said in introducing the speakers: "Four, great wars have concerned this country; in three the Negro has played his part well. Each war had its cause and result; for instance, in 1774, self defense; 1863, presentation of the union; Spanish-American War, humanity; this great world war, democracy, freedom and equal rights to all. For this cause we have met here to honor you for helping to achieve the victory. In past wars you have failed to share the spoils, but if this is lost sight of or ignored, the war and peace conference are in vain. Private Alfonzo Banser made a short speech, telling of combat—and victory with the Huns. Lewis Williams from the Naval Base, made a short speech. Lawyer Joseph Byrnes said that the 15th Regiment should remove ollines. They now and ever should stand on equal footing with all men.

HOW NEGRO SCHOOLS Houston, Tex.—In the Post, a daily paper of this city, recently appeared a letter from Elmer A. Carter, 92nd Division, Q.M. C., a former teacher at Prairie Vale High School, it be at Prairie Vale, the fact that the students of this and similar schools throughout the United States had demonstrated the value of these institutions in furnishing worthy defenders of the cause of and then the oft-repeated "brave" of democracy. He said in part: Yesterday afternoon on one of the prominent throughfares of the city of Brest, a large crowd, which seemed to increase by magic, gathered as if for a holiday. French military and naval officials, resplendent in their gaily decorated uniforms, rode by in swiftly moving automobiles or mingled with the throng on the sidewalks. Failing to ascertain the cause of so much holiday spirit by inquiries among the Americans present, I decided to wait. My wait was not a long one, for soon there came the faint echo of martial music, the steady and measured tread of marching men the French populace, a looked, strained my neck to see if such these French men are not rare among them), and, lo, there came riding on a spirited horse an American, a colonel, and behind him his staff. Who are they, I thought, but my question already had its answer; for there stretching from walk to walk, from curb to curb, came 'platoons of soldiers in the O. D. of America; moreover these soldiers were black or brown or intervening shades, and as they marched with heads erect and eyes front, with the easy swing of the veterans who have seen service on the front lines, flowers were pelted at them and continuous cheering rent the air. Into the square they came and there the battalions were formed into a perfect square to the center of which came many officers, American, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, many dignified civilians, the council at the ancient city of Brest. The regiment was brought at attention inspected by the admiral of the port, and then, while each one strove to hear the words which the interpreter was saying after the admiral, I heard these which the morning has verified: "This regiment of American infantry is cited in the orders of the French army for distinguished gallantry in action; for having advanced in the face of machine gun fire and captured a German position that was bitterly defended, for showing courage and bravery despite the severe loss of 400 manpowered and several hundred dead; for having captured prisoners, cartruns and machines under deadly and especially violent fire." The admiral then came forward and pinned the Croix de Guerre on top of the flag and then another on the breast of the colonel. I was filled with pride, for, after all, I, too, was one of these, not of the 372d, but of that race, whose men had won the gratitude of France. I was doubly proud for a few days previous I had talked with a young man painfully wounded, who was once a memorial but now a casual, had started home. At one time he was a student of mine at Prairie View, the State school which Texas has provided for her Negro citizens. He told me of others also from that institution, one or two who had made the supreme sacrifice for democracy. And then I knew, what I had hoped was true, that Prairie View and every other institution had made good; that the distance the class room to the battlefield was not far if the lessons of the class room were well learned.

COLONEL SOLDIER WILLIAM BEFORE ROTARY CLUB Attended to The New York Army Auxiliary, N.Y.-Illinois Center, co- served aircraft and serviced ame- suals with the 52d Division, and the principal gatherer at the Rotary Club爪犁屋 half leaf wag in the gold room of the Oberhorn House. A rising note of thanks was given the counsel for his servi- talk required by all present and of the best of the year. The speaker stated that the officers of the Germans to warn the Negro study from his loyalty to the United States came to naught and was due to the fact that with America at stake the old-climbing guidelines were overpriced. "The Negro has taken his part in this war," continued the speaker. "The reason he was not amenable to German propaganda is not that there has been no cause—unfortunately that is not true—but because the Negro believes that the American heart rings true at the bottom." SOUTH-AFRICAN VIEW OF PEACE CONFERENCE Kingwilliamstown Native Opinion. Native "Nationalist," like their Dutch prototypes, are busy formulating projects to attend the Peace Conference in Europe. All reasonable people have characterized the thing as ridiculous. Mr. S. Milton Niloko gives his reasons for deeming it so. He will allow us to correct him in one respect, that the conference is a military, not a civilian affair. The armistice may have been a military matter, but the peace is an affair for civilians. President Wilson, Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Clemenceau, and other being involved in the peace conferences. We agree the opportunity can be profitfully utilized for natives to make representations to their own government for a release from irksome and restrictive laws and regulations as a peace settlement between them and the government, synchronizing with the peace movement of the world, but going to the World Peace Conference is utterly beside the question.

H. 1800 TELLS DYSPEPTICS WHAT TO EAT Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medical authorities, are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. "Chronic acid Stomach" is exceedingly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two things. Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods that disagree with them, that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion or they can eat as they please, in reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful and acid and prevent formation of gas, sourness or premature fermentation by the use of Laxcarin tablets. There is probably no better, no safer or more reliable stomach antiacid than Lexcarin, and it is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach and it is not harmful by any means. Contains no habit forming drugs such as opium, cocain, hereon or alcohol. A few Lexcarin tablets will remove the whole cause of the trouble and the meal digests naturally and healthfully without need of pepsin pills or anything else. Try this plan and eat what you want at your next meal and see if this is not the best advice you ever had on "what to eat." It is safest to order Laxcarin from the distributors as there are many who substitute on account of its wonderful properties. There is also a very great demand and it is safest to order enough for a full treatment so that you may have enough without having to wait for the next box while you are in the course of recuperation. Six boxes only cost five dollars and this small amount is nothing in comparison with the relief they offer. Or you may order by mail a box which is only one dollar. Send money by registered letter, or money orders by regular mail. Laxcarin Products Co. Dept. E-196, Pittsburgh, Pa. HACKENSACK, N. J. HACKENSACK, N.

THE RIGHT LAXATIVE FOR THE LUNCHES The natural condition child is to be happy and When the girl mopes and is different to school and study, or the boy is sullen and refuses to go out and play, the child needs a laxative to empty the bowel and stir up the liver. But something should be given that will produce the result in as simple and natural a way as possible. Harsh cathartics and physics are neither necessary nor desirable. Many mothers have found that the combination of simple herbs produces a free movement of the bowels without gripping. This combination is sold in tablet form under the name of Laxcarin—and is universally being used. Only a few laxcarins are required and it is very pleasant to take—in fact it is a doctor in candy form. That is why children like it so much. A few hours after its use the child will be its happy self again. It works like a clock. It is an excellent remedy for the mother herself, and for the other members of the family, in obstinate or occasional constipation, for the relief of sick headaches and an aid to colds and fevers, minor skin eruptions and all disorders where the basis of the trouble is constipation. It aids digestion, relieves fermentation, neutralizes over acidity, stops the bloating of gas, aids sour stomach. Price is always. In spite of greatly increased laboratory costs due to the war, by sacrificing profits and absorbing war taxes we have maintained the price at which this family laxative has been sold. It is safer, however, on account of the extraordinary demand we have had during the last few weeks to order enough Laxcarin for a full treatment, which is six boxes for five dollars. One box costs only one dollar and will be sent postage prepaid upon receipt of cash or money order. Send to the Laxcarin Products Co., Dept. E-196, Pittsburgh, Pa.

G. Wells throws a strong light on the policy of the British Government toward the darker races of the Empire in war matters. Through the words of one of the characters, Mir Jelalludin, an East Indian aviator in the French service, the situation is shown, to possess many points of similarity to the American attitude toward colored officers. The Indian aviator explains why he is not wearing the British khaki: "The Brish' Gulment objects to Indian flyers. I tried. But Brish' Gulment thinks flying beyond us. And bad for prestige. Prestige very important thing to Brish' Gulment. So I came to France. "Of course, no commissions given in regular army to Indians. Brish' soldiers not allowed to 'slute Indian officers. Not part of the great white race. Otherwise hundreds of flyers could come from Indian hands and hands. We play cricket—good horsemen. Many Indian gentlemen must be firstrate flying stuff. But Gulment says 'No.'" When Peter asks if the Indian is really barred from a commission, absolutely, the latter answers: "Absolutely. Not only from the air force, but from any commission all. The lowest little bazaar clerk from Clapham, who has got a commission, is over our Indian officers over our princes. It is an everlasting humiliation. Necessary for prestige. It has a British commission it should be made very uncomfortable. It is the way with British officers and gentlemen. The health are not so—particular." Mr. Wells is one of the most progressive English writers of the present day and his view of the caste system of the British army, though from an adverse standpoint, may be taken as accurate as to details. The similarity between the British and the American army systems in the barring of colored men as aviators has been pronounced. But the United States has advanced beyond the British in the matter of giving commissions to colored officers, thus proving a greater degree of democracy in the government that prevailed over the military caste system. The Negro has many reasons to be thankful that a broad-minded American was at the head of the War Department, who did his atmost to administer military affairs without bias as to race or color. Mr. Wells' strictures on the British policy should give those blatant and undiscriminating admirers of all things English something to study over. GREETING THE SOLDIER A peculiar advertisement appeared in the Mobile Register of March 28, which occupied six inches double column on the last page. Under the heading of "Notice," in large type, appeared the following: "Want all colored friends of Mobile to give their attention to the Royalty Club on their drive beginning Monday, March 31st, for a reception in behalf of the colored overseas clubs, and we ask you to contribute to the club when they call upon you." This appeal bears the names of the officers and committee. The obvious question is why did the club advertise this appeal to "colored friends" in a white daily paper. Could it be for the psychological effect on the white readers. of the Register? We would like to think so. There has been such a diversity in the reception accorded the black soldiers returned from overseas in Southern communities, that something is needed to stabilize public sentiment. In some cities the returning troops were permitted to return without public greeting or parade, the only notice given being a warning through the press to keep their former place in the community. In other cities a public reception was the order, with a parade and greetings by the Mayor and other officials. At any rate, it is encouraging to find that the men and women of the race in all sections are paying deserved honor to those who went to the front and fought the light for democracy. The Mayor and City Commissioners of Austin, Texas, recently took action at the instance of the colored citizens to prevent the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" and similar pictures in that city, under penalty of the revoking of the license of any playhouse producing them. The Mayor also announced at the same meeting that the Commissioners had agreed to appropriate a substantial sum of money for the maintenance of recreation centres for Negro boys and girls. This result is a triumph for persistence of effort, as three previous attempts to prevent the production of the pernicious film had been without success. Racial discrimination is alleged in one of the theatres of Montreal according to the Toronto Observer, which reports that a number of men and women of the race were refused admission after having purchased tickets. A suit for damages by the aggrieved parties was decided adversely on a technicality. At a meeting held to consult as to further action in the matter, the chief speaker was a King's Counsel and ex-Recorder of the City of Montreal, who offered his service and influence to help fight against race discrimination and prejudice. All of which goes to show that while Canada has lost much of the ancient freedom from color prejudice which made it the terminus of the Underground Railroad, there are still eminent Canadians who stand for true democracy. * The writer has received a number of letters complaining about a series of stories of Negro life running in the Saturday Evening Post. The complaints about these stories were that they were caricatures of life among colored people and that some of them were downright misrepresentations of the race. Some of those who wrote me felt that the stories were intended as direct insults. It is a good many years since I have been a reader of the Saturday Evening Post, so I had not read any of these stories. Not that the Saturday Evening Post is not good reading of its kind, but in my crowded days I do not have time for that kind.* When I have a train trip before me I often like to give myself over to reading merely for diversion, but at such times I do not bother with any of the halfway stuff; I go to the other extreme. On my train trips I love to read Smart Set or Life or The Parisian or to pick up some very foolish book like "Dere Mabel." The growing importance of the press as a factor in the development of the Negro people is denoted by the shortsighted efforts of the less intelligent white communities in the South to hamper and prevent the circulation of Negro newspapers. A license fee is exacted in many places from newspaper agents, and in the case of those selling Negro publications it is made so excessive as prohibitory. A recent letter from Georgia brings the information that at a certain place the agent for The Age had to discontinue selling the paper on account of the prejudice of the white people. The Postmaster reported the fact that he was receiving papers in bulk and the local authorities demanded that he pay an excessive license fee for the privilege. Not all municipal authorities in the South are as shortsighted as this, however, as many of them allow the spread of Negro newspapers, though scanning them with a critical eye. Having a trip to make a few days ago, and remembering the complaints about the stories in the Saturday Evening Post, I stopped at the newsstand and bought a copy. I was first of all completely overwhelmed by the magazine itself, 165 pages, equal to a book of 600 pages, first class typography; splendid illustrations, excellent paper, expensive advertisements, and a mass of reading matter which must interest a vast number of people, all for five cents. It seemed too much for the money. The number which I bought contained one of the stories of Negro life. It was entitled "Painless Extraction." I have not read any of the other stories in this series, so I do not know what their general tone has been, but "Painless Extraction" in spite of the fact that it has a corking good plot which is well worked out, is not true to life. This story purports to deal with life among the best classes of colored people. The characters are a leading and wealthy physician, a prosperous dentist, the physician's wife, the dentist's sweetheart, an efficient trained nurse, and a manager of a successful business; yet the author makes these people talk like a group of ignorant Negro cotton field hands down in darkest Alabama. In fact, he makes them do things to the English language that many an ignorant cotton field hand would never be guilty of. Either the author of these stories does not know the best classes of colored people well enough to write about them or he thinks that the impossible dialect which he has invented—for no Negroes on earth speak the dialect he writes—is necessary to give color to his work. What he has done in "Painless Extraction" is to spoil a clever piece of work by an unpardonable blenish. It makes his work as absurd and untrue to life as if he had written about cotton field hands and made them talk like people in polite society. There was another objection: the artist who frustrated the Let every person in Greater New York and vicinity give a vote to Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier as one of the teachers to go to France. Get the Evening Telegram and cut out the coupon. Let us all pull together and send Miss Frazier over. many evidently bounded his pictures to be caricatures. The illustrations are no truer to life than the speech which the author puts into the mouths of his characters. He must have gotten his ideas of Negro types from the poster advertisements of a minstrel show. The Saturday Evening Post evidently pays high prices for the material that goes into its pages, therefore it ought to be careful to see that it is getting the real thing, even in its stories of Negro life. I can understand why a great many colored people have objected to these stories; they do misrepresent the race. I suggest that colored readers everywhere of the Saturday Evening Post drop the editor a line and tell him their objections and their reasons for them. If this does not move them to stop burlesquing the race, then more drastic steps should be taken. COTTON. THE AUTOCRAT. Once upon a time cotton to-day is can be styled nothing.

During the war every other basic commodity was regulated as to price except cotton. Cotton was immune. Cotton growers were allowed to get as much for their product as they could make the market pay. The Southern members of Congress saw to this. At the beginning of the war cotton was selling for eight to ten cents a pound; at the close of the war its price had risen to thirty cents a pound and better. Agricultural and commercial bodies all over the South are taking steps to maintain the high price of cotton. It is proposed to do this by reducing the acreage, thereby getting as much for a small crop as for a big crop. Such action on the part of the Southern planters does not seem to fit very well into the new patriotism. The United States is being called upon to feed and clothe the world, and it is considered the moral duty of the nation to do so. Farmers are doing everything in their power to increase the yield of wheat and corn so that all may have bread. Live stock raisers are striving to increase the supply of cattle and hogs so that all may have meat. But here come the planters of cotton with a deliberate plan to decrease the supply of cotton, not caring; whether the world goes naked or not, concerned only with getting their price. They are right in wanting to get the highest price possible for their product; but are they justified in taking the means which they propose to carry out, especially at this time? Suppose the farmers of the country should decide that they would plant less wheat so that they could get higher prices; or the stock raisers should decide that they would kill off a certain number of cattle so they could get higher prices for what they did sell; would the sentiment of the country stand for such action? It would not. But cotton is almost as necessary as bread and meat. Will the sentiment of the country stand for such a high-handed hold-up as the Southern planters contemplate? The exemption of cotton from any regulation through the war is only one of the phases of the "sectional government" with which the country has been blessed for the past five or six years. When things reach normal again and the nation can sit down and calmly think of the past few years it will see one big fact standing out, it will see that during those years the South ran the whole country just as it is accustomed to run the South. If the Southern planters carry out what they have proposed, they will not only be trading on the misery of the world but they will be entering into a deliberate plan to corner the cotton supply, into what will be nothing less than a conspiracy to extort higher prices; in such a case their action would seem to call for the attention of some department of the Government. If the wheat growers of the West took such a step, it is certain that the Department of Justice would show an interest in what they were doing. WEST INDIANS WANT TO HELP SAVE AFRICA To the Editor of The New York Age. In your issue of December 21, 1918 there appeared an article under the caption, "American Negroes. Asked to Save Africa." In this article the statement is made that Mr. U. N. Ruffin, a member of the London Chamber of Commerce, speaking at the Conference Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church held in Yankers, "intimated that the British Government stood ready to finance educated American Negroes who would go to Africa to help elighten and aid the blacks there who, he said, were impoverished and weak as the result of German misrule." It would seem a strange coincidence in this trend of thought, but it is nevertheless true, that the idea supermost of late years in the minds of a goodly number of educated West Indians is that of making their home in the Great Negro Fatherland. This idea, the materialization of which they could hardly hope for under previous conditions, has been brought with in the domain of the possible by the conquest of the German African colonies by the allies. By the conquest of these territories they see almost in sight the realization of their cherished hopes. The object of their return, further assured by the scheme now before the colored American people, is the First Republic in area where, as a place they could without mobile custom move along lines of racial development. Second, to be of service to those of their African kinsmen who may be in need of such service. In the present age things move swiftly and he who lags behind perishes. If at all, therefore, the proposed scheme for the uplift of the natives of the late German African colonies materializes the offer extended to educated Afro-Americans could, without injustice to them, be equally extended to the educated colored people of the West Indies and Central and South America as well. Any scheme like that proposed which does not include West Indian and Central South American colored folk would in principle be incomplete, the savior of discursive bordering on the negligible. For it is a common fact that colored people in these latter countries have an instinctive longing for their Fatherland and only await the opportunity to gratify this natural desire. If, then, the invitation so generously extended to educated Afro-Americans be also extended to West Indians, there will be a hearty response for the help called for that much abused and oppressed continent—the once-famous Africa. And for a like invitation from those responsible for the carrying out of this leisure scheme, the reason for writing this letter, B. K. J. MACPHERSON. THE MONROE DOCTRINE IN LATIN AMERICA. The Monroe Doctrine has taken a prominent place in the discussion regarding the League of Nations. A good many opponents of the league are basing their main objection upon the ground that the covenant of the league would destroy the Monroe Doctrine. Next to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, no document in the United States is better known by name than the Monroe Doctrine; and perhaps no document in the United States is less known by its contents. The original purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to serve as a protection to the United States. This republic, then young and threatened by the powers of Europe, felt that its safety could be secure only if those powers were prevented from acquiring any more territory on the American continent or setting up any monarchical forms of government thereon; so the Monroe Doctrine was proclaimed. But a long time has passed since the United States reached the point where its own security and safety did not depend upon the Monroe Doctrine. As that point was passed, the Monroe Doctrine was gradually given an interpretation directly opposite to its original purpose; it came to stand for the security and safety of the Latin American republics. The force behind the Doctrine to-day is the argument that the weaker republics to the south of us must be protected. But whatever may have been the original purpose of the Monroe Doctrine or whatever may be the interpretation given to it at present, what it practically amounts to how is the recognized right of the United States to exercise a suzerainty over the whole American continent, except Canada and two or three minor possessions of England and France. It gives the United States the right to land troops in Haiti or Santo Domingo or Nicaragua and take over the government without consulting any European power; by it the ultimate authority of every one of the Latin American republics is lodged in the United States. It is natural to want to know how the Latin American republics look upon this document which is supposed to exist for their safety and protection. From long personal experience in Latin America, the writer knows that the people of those countries are opposed to the Monroe Doctrine and want none of it. They feel that when it ceased to be an instrument for the protection of the United States it became an instrument for the aggrandizement of the United States. They feel that they would rather take the chance of defending their independence against Europe, since that would mean their independence of the United States. A few days ago the Chicago Tribune made a canvass of the Latin American envoys in Washington regarding the incorporation of the Monroe Doctrine in the covenant of the League of Nations; most of those who gave any direct answer were very cold on the proposition, others were non-committal. The truth of the matter is, if the Latin American republics dared express themselves they would declare for the abrogation of the Monroe Doctrine and all that it carries with it. It is not difficult to understand why the people of Latin America object to the Monroe Doctrine, for while it protects them against interference on the part of European powers, it takes away from them all defense against the same sort of interference on the part of the United States. Aside from this, there is a deeper feeling still in all Latin America regarding the great republic of the north, and that feeling has its roots in the race question—but that is another story.

I have just received a letter from a colored soldier, who had been wounded overseas and arrived in the United States. He says he has suffered more from insults by white Americans than from the wounds or assaults in the trenches he received in the name of democracy fighting the Germans. On his way home, arriving at Little Rock, Ark, he says: "The Red Cross gave every soldier something to eat but one. I being the only wounded Negro in the bunch. On reaching the hospital at Camp Pike, the nurses began to laugh at the sight of me, and one asked, 'How are you feeling, nigger?' After boarding a car to leave a great many white men were standing around; one, pointing to my service strips, remarked, 'We ought to take this nigger's pho'. I guess he will be one of these oversea negroes we will have to kill." HIS LIKING GROWS TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK AGEN- Enclosed you will find my renewal for one year.

To the Editor of The New York Age: I am writing to thank you heartily for your splendid editorial artistry last week's Aca on "Let Baptists go Together." I am sure that the article in question struck a responsive chord in the hearts of Baptists everywhere. It is what the rank and file of the Baptists want. Your diagnosis of the case that it is "largely a matter of dollars and cents" comes pretty near stringing the matter up. I have been attending the conference in 2015 and have seen the development of the troubles that led to the split. I was in Chicago at the meeting when the conference split. I have said in public and in print, and I say now, the trouble largely was over "office and money I know of no service that THE Ace can render at this time that would be of more value than a wholesome discussion of this whole national Epistle issue. It would result in building up an irresistible sentiment in favor of peace and reunion that would mean much to hope that not only THE Ace, but that near papers throughout the land will take care of the matter. Why should this great body of millions of Christians be dominated by a few men and exploited for the sake of few? Again, why should the process and opportunities of the great denomination be wasted in such a criminal manner as they are? These are questions that should vitally concern the whole race. The years that are before us call for union of forces, and not division of powers. All other denominations are seen adjusting themselves to this idea. They are planning great things for the future. They are planning programs that will help in the building of races in helpings through the agencies of the Kingdom of God alone for the colored Baptists to have a program. Their leaders are spending time and stresgth in abuse, slander and vilification. Within the last twelve months two peace conferences have been held, one in Memphis and the other in Nashville. It had been hoped that these meetings would have resulted in peace and reunion. They did not. One thing we have learned from these conferences and from our efforts at reunion: The men who speak as up cannot get us together. I speak as up leaders on both sides. That leads to the question that the denomination is ever again to be made is one great organization for the sake of God, then it must be under new leadership. The Christian statemanship of the present leaders is not equal to the task. They built up a great and magnificent building, but before they would vacate they pulled down the great structure and scattered the rubbish far and wide. We believe in peace and reunion: I believe that we are doing. I believe in it because (a) division wrong, believed in it, (b) because it is prayer and the cherished hope of the millions that fill our churches and that make up the denomination. I have said this brief word, Mr. Editor, to thank you for your most timely editorial advice and for the further statement that "Titre, Vor stands ready to lend its help to further any movement toward this end."

The festivities occurred at the Khaki Club, which is the place maintained in Petersburg by the government for the entertainment of the colored soldiers. On account of the weather, which was very inclement, the affair would not be skinned of as a success. The call issued by Dr. Wm. F. Clarke and the Rev. J. E. Carter, pastor of the First Ebenezer Baptist Church, is not meeting with a very hearty response. In fact Petersburg is not inclined to favor another parade. The Petersburg Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People got up a parade, comprising a battalion of the 367th Infantry-fresh from overseas. It was a success from every point of view and was pronounced so by the daily press. On this account most people here feel that any further effort in this direction will be superfluous. Invitations to the various churches to contribute to the expense of entertaining the 367th, which the branch sent out, received favorable notice in all instances but one. This church returned the request with the information that there was to be another parade and it would support that. The principal of the colored public schools is a communicant of this church and if he did not refuse the request for the colored children to take part in the parade he did not entitle them to any children, no children paraded and any desired to be paraded by parents any they would have been allowed to have them. The chairman of the "home-coming parade" is a vestryman in the church which refused the branch assistance. This kind of action is characteristic of Petersburg and has been the means of keeping the people divided on every question which had for its object their material advancement or moral betterment.

WALTON DURING the past week the attention of Henry Chesterfield, secretary of the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., has been directed to charges preferred by the colored team of James and Parsons against Freeman Bernstein, the booking agent, which, if true, should be taken up and an object lesson made of booking agents who browbeat vaudevillians and who for years have never hesitated to take unfair advantage of colored acts. According to the story told by James and Parsons, after beating them out of half a week's salary, Bernstein, to discredit them with Mr. Chesterfield, framed up a charge that Parsons had been caught selling liquor to soldiers at Camp Upton. Three white soldiers were sent to the National Vaudeville Artists official to substantiate the booking agent's allegation. Parsons swears he does not drink and his partner says he has never seen him touch a drop of anything intoxicating. Now that Bernstein has made such a serious charge and soldiers have been brought into the case, the Federal authorities ought to conduct an investigation and find out who is guilty of misrepresenting the truth. The three men in khaki who professed to know so much about Parson's alleged unlawful activities at Camp Upton should be located and made tell all the are supposed to know about the illegal traffic of liquor and why they reported the matter to theatrical people instead of army officials. Bernstein is said to book the Liberty Theatres at Camp Upton and Camp Merritt. James and Parsons were given a week's contract to play three days of last week at Camp Upton and the other four days at Camp Merritt. On Wednesday afternoon it was found necessary to give an extra matinee owing to the presence of the 27th Division in camp. James and Parsonsassert they were not notified about the extra performance, and when told to go on by Bernstein were talked to in an insulting manner. Both colored performers took exception to Bernstein's remarks, Parsons in particular, and when the agent spoke about fighting, Parsons evinced a willingness to comply with the suggestion. However, peace was declared and the team did their turn as requested. That evening when paying the act for the first half, Bernstein is said to have apologized to James for speaking discourteously in the afternoon, giving the excuse that he was excited and meant no harm. He told James to report at Camp Merritt the next day. When James and Parsons put in appearance at the Liberty Theatre, Camp Merritt, Thursday, they were informed by the stage manager that they were not to go on. Bernstein, when appealed to, told James the act could not work at Camp Merritt even if it had a week's contract or no contract. James and Parsons next told Henry Chesterfield of Bernstein's actions, and the representative of the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., demanded that the booking agent live up to his contract and pay the team four days' pay. Bernstein is accused of going around the Putnam Building calling James and Parsons snitchers to other agents, vowing they would never get a day's work in the building and marking other threats unbecoming a booking agent of principle or good standing. The next: chapter in the controversy was the visit of the three white soldiers to 'Secretary Chesterfield's office to corroborate Bernstein's charge that Parsons had been seen selling liquor while playing at Camp Upton. In the meantime James and Parsons have not been paid for a full week as their contract calls for. Incidents of this kind are a disgrace to vaudeville, and the National Vaudeville Artists, Inc., which stands for decency and fair dealing, would do well to ferret out the facts in the case. If Parsons peddled liquor at Camp Upton the Federal people ought to know all about it. If, as James and Parsons aver, they are victims of a frame-up, Bernstein's license should be taken from him at once and the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, which supervises the entertainment of soldiers in camps, be given full particulars. GUMBO DINNER AT C.V.B.A. An enjoyable gumbo dinner was given at the C. V. B. A. headquarters 438 Lenox avenue. Friday evening, on which occasion Bob Slater, chief of gumbo chefs, acted as host.

Edmonds, Grundy and Young, N. S. Sniller, Charles Olden, Ed Frye, V. Hanley and Lewis Parton. The attention of Henry Chesterfield, of Vaudeville Artists, Inc., has been derred by the colored team of James Bernstein, the booking agent, which, in object lesson made of booking agents, who for years have never hesitated acted.

NIGHT CASINO 9th, 8:30 p. m. Doings of the Race in Montgomery, Alabama BY MHR. B. ABALIA NACHLEY WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. I am now the guest of Slater State Normal and Industrial School, Winston-Saleam, a real school with so many manned improvements since my last visit, that I could hardly believe the evidence of my new "prince-neg." As I look over the hills and valleys perhaps the most beautiful new in Winston-Saleam, there are so many good things that I wish to tell about this school and this unusual community that I can hardly wait to write here. While in Montgomery I was asked to write something for The Age about the colored people there. It had to decline the offer of a secretary because I can write faster than I can dictate, and I have been too busy to perform this pleasant duty until now. If I were to write all that my heart relates about the colored people still left in Montgomery, I would need a special edition of The Ama yet, the colored citizens of this city—the host of the Southern Confederacy, many of them more well-to-do, are quiet, contented, home-owning folks. If they desired to emigrate as some have done, they could not leave without great financial sacrifices, for their property and business interests are too valuable. It is safe to say that there are several thousand Montgomeryans in the North. There are over one thousand in the vicinity of Detroit, who have helped in the philanthropic success of Mercy Hospital, established about one year ago by Dr. David Northcross, formerly of Montgomery. Old White Friends Missed. There is quite a good feeling between the two races, excepting, possibly, some of the good elective officers is power. The good old Southern white friends are fan dying out everywhere. The new element must always be convinced, since it is not as considerate or friendly. However, the thinking class of Southern white women are beginning to interest themselves in uplift work among the colored people, believing it a privilege as well as a duty to help the colored people to help themselves. One good point about Montgomery is that the white street car conductors are very kind to colored women, and are gentlemen enough to help them as and off the cars. In all my experience as a promoter I have never found such an atmosphere of Christian love as that of the Peter Avenue Baptist Church, which was sponsor for the Folk Song Festival. All were willing to follow—because they were inexperienced and all were ready to help—to do anything that they were asked to do. The congregations of all the leading churches assisted in the effort as if they, too, were to benefit financially. I noted that in Montgomery, as in nearly all the Southern cities, that the congregations of those leading churches are very quiet and refined. All the Southern chonkers seem to have gone North! Shouting is mighty rare in the Southland and to me it is a mighty good sign. All that good emotionalism which is wanted in individual "expression" can be stored for future racial and cultural expression. It is too valuable for solitude. Conduct Business Enterprises. Everybody in Montgomery seems to be sitting on. There are five first aid stores, all doing a booming job. They would make a living selling foam drinks without the physician trade. The physicians at all stores seem always busy and even the undertakers are thriving. There are several lines of automobiles of the streets and all are doing fine business. Colored grocery stores are common and Montgomery has one of the best I have seen for colored patients exclusively. The Hale Infirmary is a model hospital I cannot praise this institution to much. The head nurse is a New York graduate and her nurses reflect beautiful training and good mammers.

On request by寄送 I have seen few nurses in training with the admirable manners of the Hialeah Infirmary nurse. During the "war" these nurses brought in $1,000 a month to this hospital. The public school system is quite good, for Montgomery is admitted a "alow" town. One could not expect the colored schools to move faster than the white schools. Modern buildings are beginning to be built for colored children. The White Normal needs much money to equip it so that it may properly represent the State. It also needs a good boarding department. Many of the students are boarding around at houses. A dormitory for girls is a promising need. I spent many pleasant days at the State Normal, which co-operated with the church, and which furnished a surplus of voices for the present Poh Song Festival. I am very proud of the gift of a tall piano lamp, made of wood, a sample of their superior workmanship in basket weaving. The Normal and Industrial School for girls, also a day school conducted by two white Northern ladies, is giving a standard of useful womanhood that is greatly appreciated by the community. The Roman Catholic Church, situated next to the Normal and Industrial School, has recently opened a free kindergarten. The buildings and property of these two institutions form a block of beauty in the colored section. The Emancipator is the fearless colored organ, with an ambitious job printing department that promises to take much trade from the Dexter avenue white printers. There are successful lawyers and real estate dealers and nearly all the business people are interested in other money making activities, and they are saving this money, too. There is a "movie" theatre under colored management which is packed at all performances, in spite of the fact that the gallery of the Grand is equally crowded, especially on Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights, or whenever there is a special offering. Progressive Country Population. Montgomery has a progressive country population which must be seen, especially on Saturdays, on Monroe street, in order to appreciate what the country trade means to white and colored in the business section. The city market has its colored stall owners, many of whom have been there for years. They are well patronized. The white proprietors have colored assistants and workman in the food shops and shoe repairing shops. Colored teamsters with good looking teams are an "institution." They have a stand at the corner of the colored theatre and they represent valuable tax-paying properties. Montgomery could have a colored bank, easily. All it needs is a leader, and he will come along soon. Along musical lines also the colored people only need an experienced leader. They are too talented to wait for the stimulus of Montgomery's white musical advancement. It looks to me as if the colored people could make the white people sit up and take notice along choral lines if they had a good organizer, for all seem willing to co-operate and are faithful and prompt at rehearsals. There are too many fine voices in Montgomery for the public schools to be without a music supervisor. Women Buy Best Clothes. The society women seem very happy in their comfortable homes, while caring for their families. Like all Southern colored women, they buy the best clothes to be found in the really good shops. There are a number of social clubs and most of the representative women are church workers. There was only one thing I did not like in Montgomery during all that rainy period and that was the deep, assertive red mud out on South Jack- join street. My subpoena still darry a acquaintance. that is shouting! With South Jackson street paved up to the State Memorial, Montgomery would be, as a school boy said, "Some town!" As I back upon my recent visit, my heart goes out to these music hungry young feths and my gratitude to these loyal music-lovers who stood so stamnely for a united musical effort. To this, I add my admiration for these progressive Montgomeryians of whom the world bears too little, but who are patiently and successfully working out the so-called problem. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS BANQUET Thursday, March 27, was the date selected by Grand Chancellor Richard E. Charles and the committee of for the fifth annual banquet of the order of the Knights of Pythias of the E. and W. H. for the juridification of New York.

Negro evangelist coming to this city has achieved the success spiritually and preached to as many mixed congregations as the Rev. J. D. Rolinson, of Chattanooga, Teimi, who is conducting services at the Bethel A. M. E. Church. It is the first time in Scranton's history that white people are attending an evangelistic campaign under the auspices of the colored Methodists in such large numbers and taking an active part. Many souls are being reclaimed. Mrs. Jane Scanks of Binghamton, N. Y., came home to celebrate the third birthday of her son, John Madison. Those present were Harold and Roberta Perry, Pauline Hurt, Emma and George Nelson. Mrs. Ella Woods is convalescing after a severe illness of the grippie. Charles Belle Woods of Mooresville, N.

The Clef Club of New York is a bonanza for investors. In 1918 $72,000 was paid out by us for services rendered. Prof. Jesse O. Thomas has been appointed state supervisor of Negro economics in the United States Department of Labor. While Supervisor Thomas' duties will take him over the entire state he will have headquarters at 2375 Seventh avenue. He has resigned as principal of Voorhees Institute, Denmark, S. C., to accept the new position. Prof. Thomas recently resigned as principal of Voorhees-Institute, located at Denmark, South Carolina. While principal at Voorhees he instituted some needed and far-reaching reforms. He went before the state board of education at the invitation of Superintendent Swearinger and described the work done at Voorhees and presented a proposed charge in the curriculum of course of study that resulted in the board of education granting the Voorhees graduates the L. I. degree upon graduation, which confers upon the graduates permission to teach anywhere in the state with taking the state's examination. Through his effort the Rockefeller Foundation offered its first financial aid to the school in the form of a conditional gift to supplement a corresponding amount raised by the school to construct an industrial building in connection with the model school. He conducted the first publicly campaign with the school's quartet on the east coast of Florida, as well as the winter resorts in Georgia and South Carolina. He added another building to the school's campus by getting his friends to contribute funds sufficient to construct the principal's cottage. He secured initial Clef Singers funds of $10,000 for the installation of a heating plant. Through his influence a larger number of poof and worthy students received aid in the form of scholarships than was true of any corresponding period in the history of the school. He also secured three hundred seventy-one contributions from his personal friends throughout the East ranging in amounts from $1 to $10,000. Two of his most influential northern white friends became interested in the work as a result of his connection with it and served two years on the board of trustees. As chairman of the second congressional district, under the auspices of the National Food Administration, and as one of the vice-presidents of the National Association of Colored Teachers, as well as through the campaigns through the North and East, Voorhees was brought before a larger number of people than was ever known in the school's history. Commenting upon his resignation, Principal Thomas said a few days ago, when asked by an Acz representative why he had severed his official connection: "Voorhees did not want a principal except in name and any man who would not consent to be a puppet could not stay at Voorhees long under the present regime in peace and maintain his self-respect. The mortality rate of principals at Voorhees since the death of the founder has been very high." Commenting further, he said: "No one has better described the situation at Voorhees than one of the oldest truntees of the school in a letter to Mrs. Voorhees, dated July 24, 1918, in which CLEF CLUB OF THE CITY OF NY INCORPORATED 1910 he said in part: 'My own feeling in the matter is that any man going to Denmark is likely to have trouble with Mr. Mennafae. Mr. Mennafae has rendered splendid services, for the school, for which he deserves the highest praise, but he has developed a feeling of proprietorship and as long as he is at the school any man coming as principal is likely to have trouble with him.' Mr. Thomas is the third principal that the school has had since the death of Mr. Wright. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Saintormna, Mass.—At the indoor picnic held in the home of Mra. M. E.

"Buffaloos" Band to Play at Reunion (Continued from Second Page) Institute of Musical Art, adds the following tribute to Lieutenant Thompson's work while a student at the Institute of Musical Art: "The undersigned takes pleasure in stating that Lieutenant Erbert Emmanuel Thompson, bandmaster of the 367th Infantry, U. S. A., is known to me as an excellent musician and thoroughly competent bandmaster. Lieutenant Thompson was a student of the Institute of Musical Art for three years, from 1908 to 1911, during which period he proved himself to be musically intelligent, conscientious, and faithful student. I do not hesitate to recommend him among the most competent bandmasters in this country. (Signed) "Frank Damrosch, Director." Club Players "NEWS OF GREATER NEW YORK MASHATYAN AND BROMK ee. eo).
