To date the district has reached the $350,000 mark. One of the largest subscribers during the week was the Southern Beneficial League, which, through its president, Thomas W. Grigsby, bought $5,000 worth of bonds. Wednesday evening of this week a big parade was held through the streets of Harlem in which wounded soldiers, mounted police, the 15th Regiment of the State Guard, regimental band, Wadroen's Police Reserves, Motor Corps, Boy Scouts and other organizations took part. After the parade a rousing meeting was held at the Y. M. C. A. hut, 120 W. 138th street, at which Sergt. Henry Johnson of the old 15th, Major Arthur Little of the old 15th and Col. William Jay Schieffelin were among the speakers. John E. Nail presided.

The pupils of the school rendered an interesting program. Miss Eva D. Bowles of the Young Women's Christian Association was chief speaker. Captain Leavelle of the Motor Corps brought thirty wounded soldiers to the meeting, who were given an enthusiastic reception. ROBERT OGDEN HONORED. HAMPTON, Va.—Robert Ogden was honored at the dedication of Ogden Hall held here last week. The hall is a $200,000 auditorium seating 2,500 persons. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton, presided. Among those to praise the fine work of Robert Ogden were George Foster Peabody, William Howard Taft, Isaac Fisher and Dr. James H. Kirkland, chancellor of Vanderbilt University.

Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, declared that General Armstrong hoped that "through Hampton's work there would come a better understanding between the North and South and a more sympathetic and helpful relation between the two races." "While we do not overlook the need and value of other systems of education it is evident that the Hampton type of education has more than proven its worth and justified its place in the scheme of National progress. We have found that the trained man is a contributing factor in developing the vast resources of the country. The South is therefore, not longer willing to tolerate ignorance, awkwardness, or fawning stupidity in either black or white, which retards human progress, and Hampton National prosperity. The world to care no less about what you know, but it insists on what you can do and how well you can do it. "Hamilton has never asked. Nor do not now ask. I am not asking for my race, any pity or even sympathy, as such no special privileges or opportunities are granted to other Americans. I do correctly ask, however, that my race shall have every privilege along every line of every other American citizen under our laws—just a chance, with other Americans, to work and to be trained to live amid decent surroundings; to have first class treatment in public convenances when required to nay first class fare, and a chance to be of the highest service to our race and to our country. No decent self-respecting American can or should ask more. "Colored people generally," declared Dr. Motom "are more bitter against white people than I have ever known (Continued on Page Two) How a brigade of colored artillerymen was instrumental in capturing strongly fortified positions held by the Germans after two divisions had previously failed was told by General John H. Sherburne, commander of the 167th Field Artillery of the 92nd Division, at Carnegie Hall Monday evening at the meeting to discuss lynching. The speaker was heartily applauded when he related that the colored artillerymen, being unable to get horses, had moved heavy trucks for miles over slippery roads so as to get to the battle front. It usually requires six strong horses to pull a big army truck. When the order was given to move guns it usually meant to pull guns, and had it not been for the willingness of the men to personally move guns and trucks in, the absence of horses, which could not be secured anywhere in France, the 167th Field Artillery never would have seen twenty-odd days in action, declared General Sherburne. "The lightning qualities of the colored soldier are too well known to need comment," continued the speaker, "but until the European War their service had been in the infantry and cavalry arms and they had never served as artillery either in the American Army or in any other army. When I was assigned to the 109th Field Artillery Brigade the army authorities of the Expeditionary Force were trunk in saying that they considered the experiment an impossibility and I joined the brigade with a sad heart and a full certainty that the paws of the trap had at last closed upon me. Even the ever kind French friends shook their heads in doubt. "But after the first day with the brigade my barometer began to go up. The first impression was the marvelous spirit of the men, their neatness of appearance, their military courtesy and their discipline was most striking, and they were so earnest in their desire to learn and excel. The brigade never failed to do creditably any task it was called upon to do, and many appreciative and flattering things were said about it by the military authorities who observed its work. Perhaps the best testimony, however, is the fact that when the intelligence officer of the German division opposite came into our lines at the close of hostilities, he refused to believe that the artillery supporting the colored infantry was not French artillery. "But perhaps beyond and above the performance of the merely technical duties was the splendid quality of the morale of the brigade. The courage of the men under fire was without criticism. The men looked for leadership, but they did not show fear and were always ready to do what they were called upon for. In some instances sum crews and telephone linesmen showed a very notable courage and determination under fire." A Message From Carter Glass The Victory Liberty Loan campaign is two-thirds over, but subscriptions have been reported for little more than one-third of the loan. Is it conceivable that the American people, who with heart and soul waged the fight for freedom, will permit this loan of Victory and Thanksgiving to fail? Our sons gave of their health, of their strength and of their lives that freedom might not perish. Now that the war is ended, it would be as reasonable for them to dishonor the nation by deserting the flag as for the nation to dishonor itself by deserting them. Is it a large thing that we are now asked to lend our money to pay the cost of Victory? Is American money less willing than American manhood? Let every one of the millions who have bought Liberty bonds buy Victory notes and success is sure. CARTER GLASS, Secretary of the Treasury. ENTERS NEW WORK AS VOCATIONAL COUNCILOR On May 1, Mrs. Gertrude E. McDougald resigned from the position of examiner assigned to field work for the U. S. Employment Bureau at 139th MRS. GERTRUDE E. McDOUGALD street and Seventh avenue, to accept the position of vocational councilor and guide with her office at Public School No. 119, of which Mrs. Tupper is principal. The War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. has made this work possible by an appropriation and the Henry Street Settlement, which has worked out on a scientific basis the methods of giving advice in choosing trades and studying professions, will make this a part of its work. Through the energy of a group of women headed by Mrs. Albert Erdman, Miss Virginia Potter, Mrs. Elizabeth Walton and Mrs. Knauth, these advantages are now given to the colored children. Mr. McDougald comes to this vital work with the varied and specialized experience of seven years' teaching in the elementary schools of New York City, three years as vocational counselor at Manhattan Trade School, industrial work with the New York Urban League and the Employment Service. Last summer Mrs. McDougald made the investigation of colored women in industry recently published under the title, "A New Day for the Colored Woman Worker." At the tenth annual conference of Charities and Correction, to be held May 13 at 8 p.m. at the United Charities Building, Mrs. McDougald has been accorded the honor of opening the discussion of the paper by Miss Juliet Points on "Labor and Education." The needs of the colored population are being considered and plans are being devised for their inclusion in the general movement to help better the conditions of the people generally. The program is to be one service to the entire community, regardless of race or creed. HAMPTON INST. BOARD (Special to THE NEW YORK ACADEM) Hawnton, Va.; Homer L.

URBAN LEAGUE ENDS HEALTH WEEK SUNDAY The efforts put forth by the Urban League and nearly every other uplift organization in Greater New York to make Negro Health Week a big success this year ended auspiciously Sunday, closing day, when Prof. John R. Hawkins, spoke at three meetings on "Health and Happiness." In the morning, at Union Baptist Church, Dr. Albert S. Reed presided. Mr. Hubert, executive secretary of the New York Urban League, spoke on the splendid co-operation which the welfare organizations had given the league in conducting the campaign. Fred R. Moore introduced Dr. Hawkins. Dr. John Hope, president Morehouse College, presided at the afternoon meeting held at the Y. M. C. A. hut. Remarks were made by Miss Elizabeth Walton, chairman New York Urban League, and a vocal solo was rendered by Mme. Lula Robinson-Jones. Mr. Hawkins spoke before a large crowd. He was introduced by E. K. Jones, executive secretary. The evening session was held at Carlton Y. M. C. A. in Brooklyn, with Miss Jessie Hixon, superintendent Brooklyn Association for Improving Conditions Among the Poor, presiding. Dr. Laura M. Rieselman, borough chief, Brooklyn Health Department, spoke along lines of health, and Robert J. Elzy, executive secretary of the Brooklyn Urban League, spoke of the work of the Brooklyn branch and the co-operation from other welfare agencies in conducting the campaign. As in the other two meetings of the day, Dr. Hawkins held the interest of his audience. Other members of the party were Dr. V. Morton Jones, Robert T. Givens, N. B. Doolson and Mervin Tredwell. In the evening at Abyssinian Baptist Church Dr. E. P. Roberts and Miss Eva Bowles were the speakers at a Health Forum. Dr. Hawkins in speaking on "Health and Happiness," said in part: "The very subject itself presents the idea to be treated from a scientific standpoint, but whether or not we accept of the statement, it is very evident this morning that health and happiness are intimately related and so entwined that you cannot separate them. One comes by reason of association of material conditions, and other by what man lives on as related to his body. "What is the man? Is this the man, this pile of bones and structure of matter? That is only the animal part of man. The animal moves, feels, makes his contribution to the development of the world!" "This place in which we live, this city of the development of the master mind, (Special to The New York Age) ATLANTA, Ga. -- The City Democratic Executive Committee unanimously voted Saturday to grant to white women the right to cast ballots in primary elections. Suffrage leaders declared this afternoon that the committee's action forecast "unrestricted rights for women." STAMFORD MAYOR ON VICIOUS FILM PLAY (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.) Stamford, Comm., a short time ago the play, "The Birth of a Nation," was shown in Stamford. Henry Allen, a prominent eboried citizen, addressed a letter to the Mayor of the City, Hon. John J. Treat, and received the following reply: "In reply to your communication of recent date in reference to preventing the 'Birth of a Nation' being shown in Stamford again, I will state that if I am aware of it in ample time I will do what I can to prevent this or any other picture that may discredit our people from being shown. However, there is no state statute or city ordinance that I know of at the present time, prohibiting such a picture from being shown in Stamford. I will refer your letter to our Common Council that they may take whatever action they do necessary." Charles Evans Hughes and Ex-Gov. Emmet O'Neal Condemn Mob Violence Charles Evans Hughes and Ex-Gov. Emmet O'Neal Condemn Mob Violence Resolutions adopted by the City Bar Association calling for a Congressional investigation of lynching and a Federal law against it, a movement, headed by Mme. C. J. Walker and Scott Bond to raise a big fund among the Negroes of the country to combat lynching, and strong speeches against mob violence by Charles E. Hughes and former Gov. Emmet O'Neal of Alabama, were some of the interesting subjects of the National Conference on Lynching held in New York City Monday and Tuesday. The largest meeting of the two days' session was staged at Carnegie Hall. Monday evening, which was attended by more than 2500 persons of both races. Seated on the platform were representative white and colored Americans, many of whom were from out of town. During Monday's meeting it was announced from the stage that Mme. J. C. Walker had contributed $5,000 to further the propaganda against lynching, and Scott Bond of Madison, Ark., who was seated in the audience, stated that he would give $1,000 to the fund. Tuesday at the School of Ethical Culture a plan was proposed to tax each Negro in the United States $1 for a big propaganda fund and more than $4,000 was subscribed. ment assuring the justice in which they have professed to our birth and right for victory. "I am not one disposed to fear the legitimate freedom of speech and the press. I do not think we can ever accomplish much for democracy by stifling the essential organs of democracy. Where there is an opportunity on every hand for education and an avidity for information; where our schools are established in every hamlet, we must needs despair of humanity itself if we think we cannot govern ourselves without destroying the essential liberties of speech and of the press. "I look with confidence into the future, no matter what absurd and foolish preachments from those who are nothing but visionaries and impractical. I bottom my confidences upon the sober sense of an intelligent electorate. There is, however, no hope for the future of any community, however it may phrase Charles Evans Hughes made a stirring talk against lynching Monday evening and was cheered repeatedly. He brought those in the audience to their feet when he declared that the principles involved in the proposed covenant of the League of Nations to give justice to weaker peoples should begin at home. Representative of New South Applauded. Former Governor O'Neal of Alabama representing the new South, said that the intelligent people of the South and the majority of newspapers frowned on lynching. He declared lynching could be ended by visting in Governors the power to remove shelters who permit the criminal to escape from the grasp of the law to the clutches of the mob. The speaker expressed the opinion that the record of race riots and mob violence in the North in the last decade showed that neither the North nor the South could point at the other finger of seorn. "Lynching," he said, "is a wrong for which the whole country must bear responsibility." Ex-Governor O'Neal spoke in favor of the South giving the Negro a square deal, and his remarks evoked applause. Other speakers at Monday evening's meeting were Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Brig. Gen. John H. Sherburne and James W. Johnson. At the beginning of his address Charles Evans Hughes declared the United States can never properly appear as the exemplar of the justice to the world as long as the Negro, because he is a Negro, is denied justice in certain sections of the country. "Justice in America is not to be bought," said Mr. Hughes. It is not necessary that any one should give his blood, either directly or vocally, to obtain justice in this country. "But to the black man, who in this crisis has proved his bravery, his honor and his loyalty to our institutions, we certainly owe the performance of this duty, and we should let it be known from this time on in recognition of that supreme service, that the black man shall have the rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States." Must Have Justice Within Our Own Borders. Coprimine Mr. Hinds said, "We are hearing in these days of the drawing together of the nations in co-operation to establish international justice. There has been a suggestion made with respect to the manner in which there may be exercised guardship by the strong and civilized nations over those less, favored which have been called backward peoples." It has been said in the most formal manner in the Government of the League of Nations that the well-being and development of the peoples is the most sacred trust of civilization. I say that duty begins at home. "Little can be done in the cause of international justice unless nations establish strongly and securely the foundations of justice within their own borders.

I bottom my confidences upon the sober sense of an intelligent electorate. There is, however, no hope for the future of any community, however it may phrase its formal language in constitution or in statements of Governmental principle, if there is abroad a disposition to overturn the processes of justice and to enthrone mob violence and the rule of force. That is the path to sure destruction. You cannot expect a lawless sentiment to be combined to any section of the country. If lawlessness succeeds in one place it will break out in another. "Today, in New York, our security is simply in the sentiment of law and order and nothing else. And you cannot detrive justice in the South and let banning go unpunished there and expect to be secure in the metropolis of New York. "We have not destroyed the menace of force because we have licked the Kaiser; the menace of force resides in every community. The menace of force is the Hun-like spirit which resides in every man who wants to take his little authority or place of advantage, whether he is an employer or employee, and by virtue of force, without inquiry into the justice of the demand, without any solution of the grave and difficult problem that may be involved; simply impose his will because he has the power to do so. That is the very essence of the Hun spirit. Lynching is the most deplorable and despicable sign of that revolt against justice as such." At Tuesday afternoon's session, in the rooms of the Society for Ethical Culture, a discussion on constructive measures to prevent Lynching brought out the views of well known Negroes, including Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, D. C.; Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville; Miss Fether Mortor Smith of Philadelphia; Dr. L. Garland Penn, secretary of the Freemasons' Air Society; Harry H. Pace of Atlanta and Scott Bond of Madison, Ark. Among the speakers at Tuesday evening's meeting, held in the room of the So iets for Ethical Culture, speeches were made by Dean William Pickon of Morgan College, Baltimore, Moorfield Stores and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. Among the prominent out-of-town visitors in attendance at the National Conference on Lunching, held Monday and Tuesday, were Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute; Bishop W. L.

Charles Moravia, minister from Haiti to the United States, who, in discussing conditions in the black republic in the New York Sun, expresses the following views: The Haitian University has produced lawyers and physicians, whose science and ability are recognized with praise in France; historians, writers and poets whose works are appreciated in Paris and wherever French is spoken. These achievements, however, do not make up for the Haitian's struggle about an equal development of commerce, and the United States cannot but take advantage of it, being the nearest great country. The example of Cuba is conclusive. Upon the problem of education, making serious efforts to create more and more schools, and at the same time serve as examples to the natives, who would shake off their tropical indulence and become money makers themselves. The development of the natural resources of the country will certainly bring about an equal development of commerce, and the United States cannot but take advantage of it, being the nearest great country. The example of Cuba is conclusive. To sum up, Haiti for more than a century struggling without help from The development of Haiti has been paralyzed by a succession of ruinous revolutions of political character, due to the ambitions of individuals or groups to acquire financial benefits accruing to or controlled by the office of the President rather than to any uprising of the people as a whole. For in spite of all contrary appearances the people are very peaceable and have always been rather passive in the hands of the professional politicians. As the general conditions were growing worse and worse, the Government of the United States intervened and in September, 1915, a treaty was signed between the two countries establishing a United States financial and police protectorate for a period of ten years, with provision for a renewal for an additional ten years. This treaty, being a guarantee of internal peace and sound administration of the public funds, marks the opening of a new era for Haiti. Haiti declared war upon Germany in June, 1918, after a severance of diplomatic relations, in May, 1917, but before his move from their Government hundreds of Haitians went voluntarily to France and fought for her. Many gave their lives, many were decorated for their bravery, and such was their valor on the battlefields that the Haitian flag, before Haiti entered the war as a nation, had a place in a memorial of the heroic defence of Verdun. Besides the numerous revolutions which created a sense of instability, here was another barrier to the material development of the country, article 6 of the constitution preventing a foreigner from owing Haitian land. This obstacle was removed last year when a new constitution was voted wherein that article has been amended in such a way that the foreigner may acquire Haitian and provided he lives or has an establishment in Haiti. The climate of the country is essentially tropical; epidemics are rare. The health of the United States Marines, some of whom have been in Haiti for more than three years, is reported as unusually good. As to the soil, it is one of the most fertile in the world. The principal products exported are coffee, cotton, cocoa, logwood, lignum vitre, fustic, maltogany, castor beans, corn, cottonseed oil, honey, beeswax, goatskins, hides, silk, sponges, turtle shell and fertilizers. The principal articles imported are building materials, bricks and tiles, cement, lumber, light carriages, chemicals and dyes, spray goods, furniture, hardware, newly made machinery, notions, fabrication, processed foods, salt fish peck, soap, cotton and wearing apparel. Various claims have been made as to the mineral resources of Haiti. Lumber has been found in three different points of the report in the north and in the south. There are copper mines near limonies, and also has been found. Before the war most of the exports went to France, England, Germany, Holland and Italy, a vast part of the imports came from these countries also, because those markets were for more advantageous than the American market. The war cost a change and Haiti had to buy, buy and sell to the United States. It is presumable that after the reservation of normal conditions the Haitian products, due to better prices obtained in Europe, will preferably go there, but the United States may retain a part of the trade. This assertion must not discourage the Americans, for it is certain that when Haiti is developed it will become as profitable a field for American commerce as Cuba is now. Haiti to be a prosperous country needs American money and American enterprise. The Haitian soil, which is wonderfully fertile, can produce abundantly cannas, oranges, femons and papples if the best quality if modern methods of culture are employed. Agricultural thousands and thousands of Haitian enterprises would provide employment for $25 COURSE FOR $5.00 C Many Haitians in War. --- and at the same time serve as examples to the natives, who would shake off their tropical indolence and become money makers themselves. The development of the natural resources of the country will certainly bring about an equal development of commerce, and the United States cannot but take advantage of it, being the nearest great country. The example of Cuba is conclusive. To sum up, Haji for more than a century struggling without help from any country, amid the hostility or the indifference of the world, realized remarkable progress by herself, particularly in the intellectual sphere. Now that the United States has extended its hand and offered to help the young republic, the hope may be entertained that the progress will be rapid, that the Haitian masses will be educated, their standard of life bettered, and that when the country becomes prosperous the American people will be doubly paid in money by an increase of their commerce, and in glory for having made one more Cuba. DR. BUTTRICK REFERS TO RACIAL UNREST (Special to The New York Am) HAMPTON, VA.-Dr. Wallace Buttrick of New York, president of the General Education Board and life-long friend of the late Dr. Hollis B. Frisell, spoke in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, at the Sunday evening service on "The Upward Calling." Dr. Buttrick, referring to Principal James E. Gregg, said: "I hear from every source that of which my own mind and heart have been perceived; namely, the number of the two men who have gone before has fallen upon this man divinely chosen for this honorable succession." Dr. Buttrick referred to his overseas experiences and outlined the meaning which the British have read into the words "Carry on." "I went into the hospitals where brave men were recovering," he said. "Eighty-eight percent of the wounded recovered and went back to the front. They said, 'We will soon be carrying on.'" "I was going up to the front at Ypres one day and a new army was going in— a whole army threading its long way from Boulogne. On the other side of the road were ambulances coming out, and every wounded fellow leaned out and said, "Carry on; we will soon be with you. Carry on." Dra Buttrick announced that he had given up immediate charge of the great medical work in China which he had organized in order that he might give all his time to work in America, particularly in the South. "The more thoughtful white people of the South agree with me," said Dr. Butrick, "that that certain unrest among thoughtful colored people is a perfectly natural thing. If you who are leaders—and you are all leaders—are wise about it, enduring with patience, carrying on all the time, in the sense of always moving forward, it is going to mean better things for you and better things for our country. You and we are going to bring order where now there is disorder. You and we are going to bring to you those malenable rights which should be and must be ours; it is only possible with a high method and high manhood and say: We will carry on Our work shall not be disturbed. It shall not lag. We shall do higher and better things day by day and look forward to the better things—the righteous things—that shall be ours. Unrest is found in every station and in every group of people in the world, and I am among those who believe that one of the great conserving forces will be these Negro people of America."

Two important facts were established by Dr. Moton's visit to France as set forth in a recent account of the reasons for his trip, printed in THE AGE of April 19. Certain rumors working to the detriment of the Negro as a soldier had come to this country, and his mission was to investigate these rumors and get the facts of the case. He was able by persistent inquiry and examination of the official records to demonstrate that the rumors as to criminal offences committed by the soldiers of the race were greatly exaggerated; when the records were consulted the number of cases charged were very few. The wholesale slander was effectively disproved and members of the American contingent abroad were brought to admit it. The other important service rendered to the race was disproof of that subtle and persistent rumor, that the Negro officers "had been practically a failure." This slander was traced to the slight basis existing for it, and the conclusion reached was that "the facts in no sense justified the common report." The facts as Dr. Moton found them were brought to the attention of leading Americans abroad, with the result that assurances were given him that they would be used to offset the slanderous rumors. Dr. Moton further brought these facts to the attention of white officers, speaking to as many as two hundred of them at one place, and raised the question, "if they did not think it was a good and a fair thing to stop this rumor of the whispering gallery." Other good things were accomplished by Dr. Moton while abroad, such as relieving the needless embarrassments of the colored soldiers and improving the conditions in the service of supplies. He also took up the matter of the exclusion of colored women from the workers in France, with the result that arrangements were made to send more of this class of workers to join the few already there. All in all, it must be admitted that the results of Dr. Moton's trip abroad amply justified his going and were fruitful in practical benefits both to the men abroad and the race at home. "SOCIAL UNREST." "Social unrest" has fastened upon all the nations and races of the world. The underlying causes for this widespread feeling is the realization by the masses of inequalities and injustices long prevailing in the social organization. The sentiment of resistance to the continuance of these conditions and the movement of the masses to better their conditions is not only natural but a legitimate outcome of the situation: Under wise and prudent direction this "social unrest" should attain the sought for improvement of the conditions of the masses, through the regular workings of reform in administration under popular auspices. Where the workings of the popular will are thwarted or frustrated by the suppression of legitimate reforms by force or fraud, a direct bid is made for revolutionary outbreaks. That these forces of "social unrest" are working among the Negroes as among other races, is manifest to those who read the signs of the times. So far the efforts to wipe out the many oppressive conditions from which the race has suffered in the past have proceeded along the lines of organized protest and proceedings to secure legal redress, as well as to arouse and stimulate popular sentiment for a square deal. The race has not been alone in the campaign for the inauguration of a true democracy that will stand for the reign of right and justice to all citizens irrespective of color. The danger inherent in the injustice practiced toward the Negro in America has appealed to many big-hearted and broad-minded white men and women, who have given of their support to the movements against lynch and mob law. Many leaders of the white race have recognized the signs of "social unrest" among Negroes and admitted the justification for it. Their disposition to keep it within safe and legitimate channels by helping to remove the causes for it does credit both to their hearts and heads. The whole country should be made to understand the reasons why the Negro is in a state of "social unrest" and what is needed to allay it. REORGANIZE THE ARMY. That there exists a crying need for the reorganization of the regular army on a more democratic basis is evidenced by the numerous criticisms and complaints coming from widely different sources. Some of these criticisms have already been brought to the attention of Congress, through investigation by the Committee on Military Affairs, but others quite as important should be brought before the coming session of Congress. Among these matters is the enforcement of a fair deal for the Negro, both as an enlisted man and as an officer. In the face of the conspiracy to deprive the race of the rightful position it has earned as a fighting factor, no effort should be spared to secure for its members a full measure of the recognition that its services merit. One of the forms this demand for recognition takes among the men in the army is the cry of "A Colored Division for the Regular Army." The history of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry is quoted as proof of the worth of our men as fighters. And if further evidence is needed, the splendid achievements of the Ninety-second and Ninety-third Divisions in France are cited. Even the artillery, that the doubting Thomas banked on failing, made the highest averages of any brigade at Camp Lacoutine, according to one correspondent. It is confidently expected that a Republican Congress and a patriotic people can ill afford to ignore such a record of efficiency, loyalty and devoted service in the reorganization of the new army. At the same time the vicious conspiracy engineered by a military clique to destroy the prestige gained by the Negro in the capacity of an officer should be exposed and its false conclusions refuted. Dr. Robert R. Moton, in a recent account of his trip to France, referred to these false rumors intended to rush the reputation, as well as the morale of the Negro, both as an officer and as a soldier. His investigation of the story of the failure of Negro officers, brought out these facts: We finally found, that, so far as the 92nd Division was concerned, only a very small portion of a single battalion or a single regiment had failed. Later, in talking with the highest American military official in France, regarding his story of the failure of Negro officers, he said that the possibilities were that any officer, white or black, under the same adverse circumstances that these men faced. VIEWS and REVIEWS The Conference on Lynching which met in New York this week marks an epoch in the fight against what may be called the national crime. The personnel constituted a body which was the most distinguished, influential and representative that has yet come together for the special purpose of discussing means for abolishing lynching. The conference discussed many methods for dealing with the problem of mob violence, but it is probable that the greatest result from this first national gathering will be the effect it will have upon the awakening and molding of public opinion. And, after all, that is the first and, perhaps, the most important work to be done; for no matter what methods are suggested and adopted, the way in which they will work out will depend largely on the sort of public opinion they will have to encounter. In any serious consideration of the question, it should first of all be realized that public opinion in the United States is not against lynching; if it was, lynching as it is carried on in this country could not exist. Of course, there are vast numbers of Americans who are shocked at the mere thought of lynching, but the great majority are not. There are millions of law-abiding people in the United States, men and women, who would not knowingly violate a municipal regulation; yet, while it is true that these people may not endorse the lynching of Negroes, it is equally true that they do not condemn it. For a reason that may not be clear to themselves they feel when a Negro is lynched that perhaps, after all, it was about the only thing that could be done under the circumstances. This condoning attitude of American public opinion is one of the gravest conditions to be reckoned with in any efforts to abolish lynching. There is a reason for this condoning attitude. A reason which sprang from distortion and misrepresentation, and which has been fostered by well-directed propaganda. The impression has been grafted on the mind of the public at large in this country that the lynching of Negroes and the crime of rape go together. In the mind of the American public at large the idea has been more or less firmly imbedded that rape and the lynching of Negroes in the South bear the relation of cause and effect. It is easy to trace how this condition came about. With the rising of the wave of lynching which has not yet subsided, the newspapers began to herald every lynching in which there was a charge of rape in black headlines that often swept across the entire page. These headlines, no matter what were, the physical aspects of the accused, usually ran, "Burly Black Brute," etc. In the accounts, all of the details and the alleged details of both crimes were given in full; especially if the victim of the mob was burned alive. Lynchings of Negroes charged with other offenses were never given so much space or prominence. This distorted estimate of "news values" had the effect of stamping upon the public mind the idea that each Negro who was lynched was a rapists and, to some extent, of placing the brand upon the entire race. And propaganda still fosters the idea. The headline feature of accounts of lynchings' may not, at present, be so greatly emphasized as it was a decade or more ago, but many newspapers, in moralizing editorially on lynching, still advance the crime of rape by way of apology and justification for the acts of the mob. When colored people themselves protest against lynching, they are met, not only in Southern newspapers, but in some Northern newspapers, by the demand that they deprecate the commission by members of the race of the crime which leads to lynching—the crime of rape. This idea, born out of distortion and misrepresentation, and nurtured by propaganda, has for its purpose the excusing, the shielding and the justification of the section most guilty of lynching. But a more serious result is that the spread of this idea accounts largely for the fact that public opinion in the United States is not against lynching, and is so difficult to arouse against lynching. The millions of gentle, law-abiding people referred to above have the idea consciously or subconsciously in their minds that Negroes are lynched in the South for rape; and to these gentle, law-abiding people the crime of rape is so abhorrent—and the more gentle and law-abiding they are, the more abhorrent is the crime—that the mere thought of its commission makes them approve the severest punishment that might be meted out to the perpetrator or, at least, indifferent to his fate. It is this sentiment, which is so widespread over the entire country, that makes it so difficult to arouse interest and sympathy in the fight against the lynching of Negroes; and it is the destruction of this sentiment which must be one of the first steps in any plan of action. It is one of the phenomena of human nature that once an opinion gets a popular start and becomes rooted in the mind of the public at large it is next to impossible to uproot it or kill it off. It may be proved over and over again that the opinion is not entirely true, or even that it is entirely false; and the public at large will listen to the proof and go right on believing in the opinion as before. It is due to this phenomenon that the public at large still clings to so many would have failed, as the very few did. About a dozen officers of the battalion were sent before a board for trial for having shown cowardice. They were not, however, all found guilty, and to offset this some of the other colored officers of this regiment, for conspicuous bravery in the same engagement, were promoted and decorated with the Distinguished Service Cross. He added while on this subject of efficiency: record of a few colored officers who failed." In view of these statements, backed up by the highest-military authority abroad, it is impossible to credit the good faith of the board of officers at Camp Meade, Md., which declared: "Negroes are deficient in moral fire and force of character, renders In talking with the commanding general at Le Mans, I referred to the fact that something like fifteen Negro officers had been sent back as "inefficient." He said to me: "If it is any comfort to you, I will tell you this: We sent back through Blois to America in six months an average of one thousand white officers a month who failed in one way or another in this awful struggle. I hope, Dr. Motton," he added, "that you won't lose your faith in my race because of that, and certainly I am not going to lose my faith in your race because of the record of a few colored officers who failed." In view of these statements, backed up by the highest military authority abroad, it is impossible to credit the good faith of the board of officers at Camp Meade, Md., which declared: "Negroes are deficient in moral force and force of character, rendering them unfit as officers and leaders of men." Let a Congressional inquiry be held so as to emphasize the falseness of this libel, as well as the unworthy motives that prompted the authors of it. In fact, the whole matter of undemocratic discrimination in the army should be investigated and the military establishment reorganized on the basis of a fair deal. worn-out and exploded scientific theories which have long since been proved to be mathematically incorrect. There is mathematical proof that rape is not the cause of lynching in the South. Anybody who is interested can see the figures; they are published every year. These figures show that in less than twenty per cent. of the cases of lynching is there even a charge of rape, and from that must be made a deduction for the charges that are false. Besides, the figures show that in the past thirty years fifty colored women have been lynched; how can the claim that rape is the cause of lynching be sustained in those cases? Court statistics and reports of crime investigation show that the Negro is less addicted to the crime of rape than either the foreign or native-born white people of New York City. This proof that the Negro is not by mature a rapist and that lynching is not caused by rape should be put before the eyes of the whole country. It should be one of the first steps taken in fighting lynching. ARMY QUALIFICATIONS A board of United States army officers recently appointed to pass-on the qualifications of a colored man who had served in the army over seas as an officer and had made application for retention in the regular army, made the following recommendation upon his applications: "The Board, therefore, recommends that he be not examined for appointment in the Regular Army. "Recaspus—Unqualified by reason of qualities inherent in the Negro race. An opinion of the Board based on the testimony of five white officers serving with the 368th Infantry, Negroes are deficient in moral fibre and force of character rendering them unfit as officers and leaders of men." This serves to show how far the propaganda for discrediting the colored officer reaches. There are white men who were in the army and served over seas who are making it their business, nor, more than that, their religion to spread the report that the colored officer was a failure. Now here comes an official board and makes the statement that not only this particular Negro, but no Negro is fit to be an officer in the United States army. The whole treatment of the Negro both as a private soldier and an officer in this great war for democracy will come to light some day, perhaps through a Congressional investigation. It is going to take nothing less than political pressure to straighten out the matter. A NEW WRINKLE IN CIVIL SERVICE DISCRIMINATION Our attention has been called to a new method of appointment of civil service employees in Hampton, Va., that warrants the attention of the heads of that branch of the government and definite action. The clipping referred to reads: WANTED—TWO WHITE MAIL CLERKS in Hampton Post Office. Send in written application. F. W. Shield, Postmaster. Strange and devious are the ways in which new symptoms of prejudice and undeniability are cropping out in this land of the free. According to the Civil Service regulations and laws, whenever vacancies occur in the higher branches of the service, those in lower positions who have given efficient and faithful service are promoted and their places are filled by others who are able to pass examinations and qualify otherwise for the vacancies. These examinations are open to all persons and appointments are supposed to be made from the list of the successful ones in the order which they rank in competitive tests. Yet here is an example of a postmaster deliberately advertising for white mail clerks and doing so with impunity and in open violation of the civil service law. The deliberate discrimination of officials of the Civil Service Commission shown towards colored applicants has long been known, but this is the first time to our knowledge that one has dared to come out openly in the manner of the postmaster at Hampton. Hitherto it has been done in a sub rosa fashion. One case in point which comes to mind is that of a young woman living in a western city who successfully passed an examination and was ordered to report on a certain day in Washington to begin work. This young woman was the sole support of a widowed mother. They sold their home and all of their possessions at a great sacrifice, went to Washington, and on reporting for duty, the young woman was told that there had been a mistake; and that the position had already been filled. The case of this young woman is not an isolated one, but many more can be cited. Following a number of such cases, some genius in the department thought of a shrewd plan of having all applicants send photographs of themselves with their applications. Even this plan, however, was not entirely successful because, due to certain obvious reasons, the colored race in America has so many shades and complexions that it is frequently difficult to differentiate between the two races. If the United States government, through the Civil Service Commission, is thus going to practice or at least assent to such intentional violation of civil service law, then colored and white people alike will have another reason to wonder if Fiume and Czecho-Slovakia are to be the only recipients of that illusive quantity known as democracy. MISTAKES IN PUBLICITY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK AGE: I am inclosing you herewith clipping from the editorial page of the Commercial Appeal of April 4 on "Negro Migration," which I commend for your careful and thoughtful consideration. I am sending this to you for the reason that I have always found your editors along constructive lines, not of the incendiary or radical kind as some of our other colored papers north of the Ohio. It occurs to me that wherever we find such strong papers as the Commercial Appeal taking the liberal view as it has taken in this editorial, that we should give as much publicity for that, as that said and done against us. We should be big enough to appreciate the kindly interest and helpfulness of our friends as well as criticizing those who are really against us, and, to my mind, all things considered, we will get a long way towards the end we all desire by pursuing, the course of keeping the friends we have and wherever we can make new ones. To simply be against a man because he is white, or vice versa, is the wrong position for anybody. We have got to start out on a broad, constructive line in working our situation out, and, at all times, our position should be one that our friends can commend as well as one which we can defend, and we need have no fear of the final outcome, he it long or short, if such a course is pursued. It strikes me that we are making some mistakes in publicity that the average white press is making, in that whenever a worthy thing is done by a Negro, he is given just a small minor space, but when an atrocious crime is committed, he is given, a big headline on the front page. In the same manner certain of our own race journals feature lynching clear across the front page, and what some of our white friends say or do for us hardly has any space in their papers at all. If such papers as yours, and if you could get some of them around you be set in closer touch with those who control the policies of the great dailies of the south, each understanding better the other's viewpoint, better and more satisf- tory results would follow. CHAS. BANKS. WASHINGTON TEACHERS AND THE MOENS CASE To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK ACE A few days ago I wrote you a letter in which I enclosed a copy of a communication from the United State Attorney for this District relative to the Moens case. My reason for writing to you was two-fold; first I considered The Ace a clean newspaper and an honorable man desirous of the second, because your paper in public the scandalous and lying statements, made by irresponsible people had measure given credence to those statements, and because the United States Attorney after reading that had thought it wise to subpoena along with the editor of the Afro-American and some other newspapers him that you might disclose from where you got such misinformation, we week instead of publishing my letter carry in your Washington letter, written by someone whose pen is evidently loose as his character, a statement claiming that the legal department had gotten the National Association in bad I want to reiterate what I stated to you in my other letter that there are no teachers, connected with this Moors can other than the teacher who has resided from the schools. The Board of Education has made an investigation and published its findings in the Washington Star; this publication states that no teacher other than the teacher who has resigned is either directly or indirectly in any wise connected with this case. The Department of Justice which made an investigation of this matter and the United States Attorney's office which prosecuted this matter have made similar statements, which statements have been published in daily newspapers of the city. You would think the colored papers of the country would be swift to carry this news forward for the reason that it places its own people in the very proper light before the community, but strange to say not a single one has carried these publications, not withstanding that these irresponsible individuals who have made wholesome charges against the teachers of the District of Columbia have not furnished one bit of evidence against a senior teacher or called a single name. It is true that there were some good people at the beginning who thought that there were people of moment in the District of Columbia connected with the Moens case, but the majority of the people who are holding these public meetings and making these whole charges is simply doing so to gain notoriety or money or both, and a hard part of them have characters no better than that of Moens. The individual who wrote that article for your paper knew full well that the legal department meaning me, was the cause of this man being prosecuted, for the reason that furnished the first responsible information to the United States Attorney's office with respect to Moens and did everything before, and at the trial to assist the United States Attorney's office in bringing the defendant to justice. Not a single one of these individuals who are now promoting and holding these meetings had a single thing to with bringing the defendant to justice. As a former resident of Washington and as a gentleman and editor of a local newspaper, I request that you give me information as full a notoriety as you gave the scandalous information furnished by some irresponsible nonfiction.

Deferred because of the war, the first year, jubilee of Hampton Institute in midway between commemorating the opening of that famos school in 1850 and its foundation in 1870 upon so broad as to command the support of men of every race and creed. Hampton Institute had the benefit of a founder with an idea. Named Armstrong, as the son of Hawaiian missionaries, had experience of the need of an undeveloped race. As a command of Negro troops during the Civil War and later an agent of the Free State Bureau, he had intimate knowledge of the specific needs of colored America; and his insistence on the value of industrial training in calculable effect upon the race. Measured against the muster our greater colleges, Hampton even yet a large school. It is in the fact that each graduate potential leader of a people satisfying wise guidance. One Hamptonuate, the late Booker Washington, passed even Gen. Armstrong in person, fame, which became almost world-weir the school he founded. Tuskegee tried in usefulness its parent and model. The American Negro needs for protection education of the ordinary kind. He needs also to be taught plough deep and pay off the mortgage industrial success is the best answer the charge that the Negro needs master and was 'happier as a slave Squatched Him.

Eugene Corby Mr. Growler.....G. A. Woods Mrs. Cavendish.....Roselle B. McClendon HOSE privileged to attend the private rehearsal of dramatic students Wednesday and Thursday evening of last week at Carnegie Lyceum left after each performance with a growing conviction that the future is pregnant with golden possibilities for the Negro in the field of dramatic art; also, that art knows no color line. For the past two seasons Franklin H. Sargent, head of the famous American Academy of Dramatic Arts, assisted by members of his faculty, has been instructing a small class made up of young colored men and women who show especial aptitude for legitimate acting. Two evenings each week Mr. Sargent and his associates have devoted time and attention to these embryonic thespians, and all services have been rendered cheerfully and gratuitously. On the two evenings in question relatives and friends of the students were given an opportunity to learn what progress had been made by the class, and the initial appearance of the amateur actors before the footlights was gratifying to even the most critical. In delivery, gesture and make-up the students gave undisputed evidence of training and intelligent direction. There was no ranting—no hideous make-up. Neither were there incongruous costumes. It was a pleasure to observe these amateurs were well aware of the fact that there was such a word in the English language as "enunciation" and that "inflection of voice" was not a foreign phrase to them. The program on each evening consisted of three one-act plays and a monolog. All were pleasingly presented and the work of each student was worthy of commendation. It was difficult for some in the audience - white and colored to believe that the performers were other than professionals. Appearing as the discount in "The Butterfly," and later as Kami in "A Flower of Yeddo," F. H. Wilson gave proof of his versatility and also ability to memorize. Jesse A. Shipp, for many years stage director of the old William's and Walker Company, waxed enthusiastic over the way the students mastered their lines, declaring that they "had memories like elephants." Miss Marion Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Moore, was another member of the class to make a distinctly favorable impression. On Wednesday evening she appeared in the monolog, styled a Japanese one-act play, entitled "Cherry Blossoms," which was generally regarded the gem of the program. Although Miss Moore has been studying dramatic art only since last fall, there was nothing in her Japanese characterization to stamp her as a mere amateur. Not yet eighteen, she disported herself like a regular actress. Franklin H. Sargent, Lemenuel B. C. Joseph, George Currie, Mrs. Anne Wolter and Mjss Helena Chalmers were in smiles after Wednesday and Thursday evenings performances, and they had good reason to be. For two years they have labored to prove their conten- "Lesson in Whist." tion that lying dormant in the Negro is an inborn dramatic instinct, which, if properly developed, will help bring him into his own and likewise prove a valuable contribution to the American drama. The two performances given last week at Carnegie Lyceum have firmly convinced them that their broad and generous views are correct, and undoubtedly will serve as an incentive to keep up the good work. No one knows better than they that the colored actor seldom gets above the level of mediocrity because he ceases to study just at the time when diligent application to the technique of dramatic art is necessary. Although Mr., Sargent modestly referred to the performance on the program at Carnegie Lyceum as a "private rehearsal," it is no hyperbole to say that the occasion was more than an incident. It was an event. THEATRICAL LOTTINGS By Bob Slater. Miller & Lyles are at Proctor's Palace, Newark. Tommy Carter is at Poli's Theatre, Scranton, Pa. Valyada is at the Palace Theatre, St. Paul, Minn.

MARTIN RECITAL FRIDAY EVENING The twelfth annual recital by the pupils of David I. Martin and the Symphony Orchestra from the Martin-Smith Music School will take place Friday evening. From present indications it looks as if the recital this season will eclipse all former concerts both in attendance and quality of program. No effort has been spared to provide for the comfort of the guests. --- PUPILS OF FRANKLIN H. SARGENT 1 Adelaide Ja. kson Photo by Edw. Elcha THE Lilla Hawkins Photo by Edw. Elcha X Hellen McAlester Photo by Edw. Eicha ANDREW BISHOP'S "It Happened Here in Harlem," the novelly surprise play by Andrew Bishop, will be the offering at the Lafayette Theatre all next week. Many things happen in the course of a day in Harlem and Mr. Bishop conceived the idea of weaving a series of these happenings into a play. Characters you all know, streets you have trod many times, scenes in which you have had a part, greet the eye as this colorful play with musical settings unfolds before the audience next week. "The Burglar and the Lady," a comedy drama by Langdon McCormick and for several seasons the starring vehicle of James J. Corbett, playing long runs in New York, Chicago, Boston, and other large cities, is the offering of the Lafayette Players this week. Judging by the crowds at the opening play, the attraction is destined to become one of the season's most notable offerings. Walker Thompson as Raffles, the cracksman, is very good. Evelyn Ellis as Norma Gray, is more charming than ever. Barrington Carter, as Sherlock Holmes, was never seen in a better role. J. L. Criner, as Bobby Butlock, alias Crippe, the butler, does very well, and Charles Olden is again scoring a big hit as the Rev. John Banfield. Mattie Wilkes as Annie is very good, providing many laughs. Inez Clough as Mrs. Moreland and Bentwrige Wade as Lucy Harman are admirable. Charles Moore as Banker Harman, Walter Robinson, Samuel Jackson, Harold Lesesne and other members of the company art good. A gala program of vaudeville and picture features will be given at the Lafayette Theatre Sunday. The program is continuous from 2 p. m. until 11 p. m., with two complete shows being given in the evening. A Ardelle.Mitchell Photo by Edw. Elcha A Alma V. McLung Photo by Edw.

C. -The second annual music festival, directed by the music faculty of the Dumbar High School, on May 1, 2 and 3, drew capacity audiences each evening at the Dumbar Auditorium and was in all respects a success. The details were worked out by Henry Lee Grant, of the Washington Conservatory of Music. The selections for each concert embraced the highest forms of music and the promoters are entitled to unstinted credit for taking the financial risks that brought together such a fine aggregation of the race's most brilliant artists. The soloists included Harry T. Burleigh, Clarence Cameron White, Melville Charlton, Theodore Taylor, Carl Diton, Eugene Mars Martin; Madame Florence Cole Talbert, Estelle Etelka Punckney, Cleota Collins, Lydia Mason, Ethel Richardson. All appeared to happy advantage and were well received. "The Garden" by Liza Lehmann on Friday Garden" by Liza Lehmann on Friday evening merits special mention. It was made of Estelle Etelka Pickney, soprano; Charlotte Wallace Murray, contaltto; Dr. C. Sumner-Wormley, baritone, and Harry R. Nugent, tenor. The Afro-American Folk Song singing won new laurels Saturday night; while Melville Charlton, and Phaon Martin added to their large army of admirers. Mune Talbert has established herself as a prime favorite here. WILSON LAMB PLEASES. Wilson Lamb, the colored haritone, favorably impressed at his recital Thursday evening. May 1, at Acolian Hall. The critics spoke in praise of his work. Said the New York Sun: "Wilson Lamb, a Negro, barytone, gave a song recital last evening at Acolian Hall. He offered a well selected programme, including art songs, an air from Verdi's Ernani, Handel's Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves. Negro spirituals by Burleigh, and numbers by A Marion Moore Photo by Fdw Elcha M. G. A. Woods Photo by Edw. Elcha ```markdown ``` F. H. Wilson Coleridge Tachar, Braitham, and Beach "His recital showed that he is a singer of intelligence, taste and massively feeling. His voice is one best described as a basso cantante. When he sings songs within his range his use of it is generally good. Sibilbert's by the Sea, for instance, was well sung and so was Feonte's I'm Weating Awa. In Borodin's Dissonance, and certain modern French songs, he was less successful, owing chiefly to a lack of style, proper variation in tone color and poor diction. In songs of larger type his work had much virility and interest. BUFFALO BAND GIVES FINE CONCERT One of the most delightful band concerts, of the season was given by Lentt E. E. Thompson and his Buffalo Band for the benefit of the 135th Street branch of the Y. M. C. A. at Carnegie Hall Saturday evening, May 3. The program consisted of modern numbers for band and standard things as well. The assisting solos were Charles Waters, tenor, and Blegentine Herrera, flutist. Mr. Waters is well known and well liked among music-loving people. He sang with excellent style. Mr. Herrera is comparatively unknown among musical New Yorkers. His playing of the flute showed knowledge and artistry and was enjoyed greatly as was evidenced by the enthusiastic applause. Lieutenant Thompson's conducting is so well known that it seems unnecessary to comment upon it except to say that he was master of the situation at all times.

GRAND CENTRAL RED CAPS IN BRIDGEPORT The Grand Central, Red Caps, under the leadership of Chief Williams and Captain C. B. Barle, opened the season in Bridgeport, Conn., Sunday by playing the Bridgeport Club, champions of the Eastern League. The game was nothing to nothing up to the seventh inning, when the Bridgeport team got away to a one-run lead with the help of the umpires. The feature of the game was the pitching of Wade and the batting of Cooper. Wade, struck out ten of the league sluggers. The Grand General Red Caps compose one of the strongest colored teams in the East. The score: G CEN'L RED CAPS!

As long as the Indian was satisfied to sit by the musical streams of New England, the section was not developed, but as soon as the song of the pioneers who came to Pilgrim shores, and landed on Plymouth Rock went fast and developed the waterfalls to water power; when they started the waters of New England to singing in the busy mills of industry, and after that great development went wastard, our country became to be acknowledged as one of the greatest industrial centers in the world. "Those who with the garden of suering on their souls, went far into the forests, tearing down the trees, upturning the sod and sowing the seed from which others reaped the golden harvest, those men who have laid the structure of the mills, who laid the foundation of the factories, who laid the structure of the palatial homes of the South, those men laid the foundation of a 'structure that had a great deal to do with the lasting foundation of American glory. They helped to make it possible to change the conditions of a roaming people. Today men are moving, thinking, in the spirit of a higher conception of life. This is what development means. As man grows into that higher conception of life, so in proportion comes into that greatest sphere of activity. And man's worth to the man family is measured by the amount service that he puts into it in making a better and fit place in which life. The man who has not yet grown and developed to the point that stands beside him his neighbor, there must be a part of his own contributed to the service of his life, has not yet gotten out of the animal nature to the spiritual world, so when a nation can boost of an organization to lift man up the higher conception of their duty, fellowship of 'man, it can certainly be. And so we congratulate the Man League on its development. Man does not attain to happiness because he is furnished with a living body. The best part of life is which we can class as morally.

A man without ideals is no man at all. The man who is satisfied to spend the night in a fathily, dirty condition does it because he gets the consent of his mind and his nature; the man who does not get the consent of his mind will break away from it. There could never be brought to pass an institution of enslavement of this country again. You take the duties men and women who, were brought out of slavery; you could not put those same people back into slavery again. Why? Because the love for liberty has been created into their lives and they will die before others enslave them again; their sense of liberty has been brought into a higher plane than slavery. The man who spends his life gambling does it because his mind is not educated above it. The woman who is satisfied to accept of a man's winks and compromise and sacrifice that virtue, which God has given her, does it not because she has to do it, but because her mind has not been educated above it. And the work of the doctors, the ministers, and the press is to charge it upon the hearts of the young men and the young women of this country to direct their souls into a higher conception and to create into their lives higher ideals. "Ideals do not drop from heaven. They are not born in a night. They come from a long process of education and development and training and association. Why is it that one flower in the garden has no aroma and the other is full of sweetness and perfumery? Why is it that the rose that is plucked and sold at a great value is considered a premium? It is because that rose; as it spends, its night in the yard, keeps its little cup open for the dew of heaven. When the sun comes over the Eastern hills and sends its rays into that rose cup and the process of distillation comes and that little drop of dew will scent up the whole garden, and you come out and get the aroma of the rose. "There are plenty of roses in the garden of nature. There are roses in this church this morning; and some are my roses. Why? Some do not open their petals through the night. Some do not keep the higher life for the best companion. When the morning comes, their lives are shut up and they are themselves dead men and there is no sweetness in their lives. Some are always hunting for ugly things. Let us look for the beautiful, and let the sunlight of God's brightness come into our lives and find the good that is in every soul and help make the world better.

I.—Easter was an unprecedented day in the annals of the history of the Congdon Street Baptist Church. About the middle of November, 1918, the Rev. W. J. Moses came to the church to find only a few loyal members. This seemed to fire the pastor to greater efforts. A revival of three weeks was conducted, at the close of which a congregation met in the church equal to any of its previous days. The congregation of the church was called to consider the entire renovation of the church interior. The pastor was chairman of the committee on plans and on Easter the church was opened, after two months worship in the lecture rooms. They looked upon a beautifully decorated interior with flowers throwing out their fragrance. The pastor took for his text Matti, xxviii; 6, using as a subject "Our Risen Christ." At 3 p. m. baptism was administered to five candidates. At 7:30 p. m. a cantata was rendered by the choir at which time Madam Sissettera Jones, better known as "Black Patti," rendered a solo. The church was packed to its utmost.
