The invitation, which is made through W. W.

Jimmy Moss "Buffaloes" and C. Hayward's "Hell Fighters" are not enough to associate with the men were going to organize 4,000,000 veterans of all ranks into one big organization that would run the country. They were good enough to stand off of death and mutilation and thirst, cold and gas in line; but only good enough to be segregated when it comes to forming a big organization.

William Hayward while speaking Thursday even April 15, against lynching at the monthly meeting of the Republican County Committee. Col. Hayward, who was aroused reading in the papers that a colored man had been lynched in Durant, sent an insulting letter to a woman, continued: "I thought occurred to me that in the sacrifices the Negro soldier this war to make the world democracy it might not be able to make the United States safe democracy." Col. Hayward had not intended to Negro question, he said, but ordered it one of the most serious country.

WHITE BOY ASSAULTS GIRL; TRY TO KEEP CRIME SECRET (Special to The New York Act) LACKENS, S.

Coggins, a nineteen-year-old white boy. "Dwight F. Coggins, who says he is only nineteen years of age, is at the County Jail accused of a capital offense against a thirteen-year-old girl of Clinton.

Many colored veterans are on our national staff and are treated as real comrades, not as vote getters. "Colored veterans, there is the evidence. What outfit will you join? The one that talks of segregating you or freezing you out altogether, or the one that gives you the right hand of comradeship and proposes to stand by you as it does with its white members?

Coggins, a nineteen-year-old white boy. "Dwight E. Coggins, who says he is only nineteen years of age, is at the County Jail accused of a capital offense against a thirteen-year-old girl of Clinton. The alleged assault was committed Monday morning while the members of the girl's family were at work at the mill. "At first Coggins is said to have pretended that he did not understand why he was being arrested, but when told pointedly by the officer he had nothing more to say on the subject. Wednesday morning, the lad was brought to Laurens and he will probably remain in jail until the June term of court." The article did not carry "scare" headlines and there was nothing in it to inflame the public as would have been the case had the culprit been a Negro. The white people of Clinton, S.C. did everything to keep the crime a secret. NEW YORK, N.

TO HONOR WORKER Magistrate Norman J. Marsh suspended business in the Women's Court Monday to cioigize Mrs. Adelphia Holmes, a social worker who died Sunday at the Lincoln Hospital after a short illness. Addresses were made by Magistrates Marsh' and W. Bruce Cobb, and expressions of sympathy from Magistrates Peter T. Barlow and John E. McGeehan. Others to pay tribute to Mrs. Holmes were Fred R. Moore, J. Frank Wheaton, James H. Hubert, J H. Anderson, Miss Eva D. Bowles, Mrs. Lavina Pease and Mrs. John Glenn. Mrs. Holmes, who lived at 137 West 141st street, was a worker for the Church Mission of Help, and she had made many friends in the Women's Night Court, where she appeared in the interest of young women of her race. Funeral services were held Tuesday. She is survived by a husband Lieutenant Holmes. In his address, Judge Marsh said, "Before we take up the business of the court it is the duty of the court to announce the death of Mrs. Adelphia Holmes. For a long time she had been faithful in her attendance on the sessions of the Night Court for Women, as a representative of the Church Mission of Help. You all knew her. She had endearled herself to the Magistrates who sit in this court, to all the officers and friends of the court, and to the policemen whose duties bring them here. She had done this by her gentleness, by her never-failing kindness and courtesy, and by her willingness to do anything which she was asked to do. "There was no place too remote for her to visit. There was no tenement house stairway too steep and long for her to climb, if at the end of the journey there lay a chance to speak a kind word or to do a useful or charitable act for some one less fortunate than herself. "We shall all miss her, that, goes without saying. She was one of that race group of people who constitute the salt of the earth, people who love work for its own sake. She was never idle. She was anxious to be useful. She desired to do good. She had a proper love of her own race. She took pride in the achievements of the wisest and best people of her own race. Above and beyond all that, she was a fine American woman. She wanted to be known as an American. She thought as an American; and the STAGE CELEBRATION AT MEMPHIS Memphis, Tenn.—What is perhaps one of the most far-reaching civic movements ever started by any community of colored people in his country began, May 19, when the great Centenary Celebration pened to welcome the thousands of colored people who have been invited here to take part in the festivities. This celebration is a part of a program which begins a new era of civic development and is being conducted by leading colored men and women composing the Central Civic League, an organization working for civic justice and the general welfare of colored people. The League has just conducted a campaign to raise $50,000 for welfare work among colored people and has fully established itself as a general clearing house for colored activities. It has the endorsement of the International Ministerial Union, the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and The Memphis Chamber of Commerce.

CIRCLE DAY OBSERVED IN LOCAL CHURCHES Representatives of the Circle for Negro War Relief, Inc., told about the work at the organization Sunday, May 18, in the churches of Greater New York and Jersey City, reaching the car of hundreds of people who were heretofore ignorant of the existence of the Circle. Only the splendid and generous cooperation of the ministers made this possible. It was fitting that a Circle Day should be held in the churches for the work of this organization is closely allied to a very important phase of church work. In recent years the church has felt that in addition to its spiritual obligation to the community it has a very strong and compelling social responsibility. It is feeling, because this is the teaching of Jesus Christ, that practical, tangible, effective service is the proof of Christianity and it is giving this service in its institutional churches, in its social settlement houses, in its educational work. In this service the Circle is going hand in hand with the church and with (Concord on Second Page) BARRED FROM TRACK MEET BY ANNAPOLIS PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Although colored Americans help maintain Annapolis, this Government school and its students continue to draw the color line, which was made evident recently at the track meet between the University of Pennsylvania and Annapolis. The navy athletes refused to appear if William N. Cunningham, a track runner, took part. Not until time arrived for the meet to start did the navy make known its intentions to discriminate, then the coach stated that Annapolis was made up chiefly of Southerners and would not compete against Pennsylvania unless Cunningham was eliminated. The meet was delayed thirty minutes while the coaches discussed the subject. The majority of members on the Pennsylvania team favored calling the meet off, but there were some weak knee athletes who were willing to cater to the prejudices of Southerners. Coach Robertson Lawson, who is well known about New York, is being somely scored for not standing up for principle. Cammings is captain of the Pennsylvania cross-country team, a "I" map and has represented the university in all the leading college meets in the country. PREDICT SUCCESS IN 1920. Dr. Sumner H. Furniss, the colored member of the Indianapolis City Council, and the Hon. William Copeland, at one time a member of the Ohio Legislature, were recent visitors at The Age and both predicted a big victory for the Republicans in 1920, provided the Republican leaders played practical politics. Dr. Sumner has nothing but praise for the present Mayor of Indianapolis, who is said to be giving the Negro a square deal.

Monroe, La.—Citizens of Monroe are greatly aroused over a series of crimes and sensational events in this section within fourteen months, culminating recently in a night raid on St. Francis Sanitarium by a masked mob bent on lynching a Negro patient, the frustration of the mob's plans by two nurses in the hospital, and the subsequent holding up of a passenger train and the lynching of the Negro by an armed crowd. As a result of the disclosures, reports and rumors, the people of this city are making stern and emphatic demands for law enforcement. This demand is being made in a way that is notice to the public officials that they must perform their duty and a warning to lawbreakers that a repetition of the crimes and events that have stained the record of Onachita Parish will not be tolerated. Many of the best citizens of the parish have made it clear, by their words and actions, that if the peace officers of this city and parish fail in their duty hereafter, ways and means will be found to throw them out of office and men who will enforce the law will be put in their places. The affair that aroused public indignation to the boiling point was on the night of April 28, when a masked mob entered the colored ward of St. Francis' Sanitarium, the only hospital in Monroe, in the heart of the city, and demanded George Bolden, a Negro patient, who was accused of writing an insulting note to a white woman. diet, "death at the hands of unknown partners." Nurse issue Statement. Then came the aftermath. The invasion of the hospital by the mob and the failure of the police and peace officers to give proper protection aroused great indignation among the people of Monroe. The nurses at St. Francis Sanitarium gave out the following signed statement: "Monroe, La. May 1. "It was with great surprise and indignation that we read the account given in yesterday's News-Star of the raid on a mob composed of masked men on a ward in St. Francis' Sanitarium, where a number of critically ill patients were confined at the time. The mob entered the colored ward Monday night at 5 o'clock and demanded George Bolden of two nurses, who were in the ware unprotected, and as they could not recognize their victim they attacked the Bolden had been shot by a mob and left for dead. His relatives and friends found that he had been wounded and carried him to the hospital, where one of his legs was amputated; When the mob entered the colored ward two nurses were on duty. The ward was filled with colored patients at the time, some of whom were critically ill, one having just undergone an operation. The mob demanded that the nurses turn Bolden over to them, and when the nurses refused they went among the patients searching for him. They seized another colored patient who had just undergone an operation, but discovered their mistake and left him. He died from shock the following night. The two nurses made a brave stand and called the police, which action had the effect of frightening the mob. The police responded a half hour late, giving the mob time to escape. One of the policemen left a pistol with a nurse and the nurses were told by the police if the mob returned to surrender Bolden to them. Within an hour the mob returned to the santarium and again demanded Bolden. This time the crowd met a reception it was not looking for. The two nurses had been reinforced by other nurses from the white wards and the women served notice on the mob that they could not enter the colored ward. Members of the mob attempted to force their way into the hospital, where one of the nurses fired a shot into the air, while another nurse served one of the leaders of the party, torse the mask from his face and recognized him. The nurses held the man, while the other members of the mob beat a hasty retreat. Mob Member "Escapes." The police again were called, and when they arrived the man who was seized by the nurses was turned over to them. The police carried him into the street, where he was permitted to "escape." No charge had been preferred against Bolden, and he was not under arrest. After the nurses had refused to surrender Bolden and had beaten off the mash for the second time. Bolden was removed to the jail for safe keeping. The next afternoon he was turned over to his wife, who was advised to take him to a hospital in Shreveport for treatment. Mrs. Bolden had her husband placed on a stretcher and he was put in the baggage car of the westbound Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific train which left Montroe at 2:15 p.m. The mob boarded the train also, and as the train neared Chemiere, a station about eight miles west of Montroe, one of their number pulled the bell cord, giving the engineer a signal to stop. As the train slowed down the mob rushed into the baggage car and threw the Negro off. Other members of the mob had been in waiting and joined the crowd that got off the train. Bolden's body literally was riddled with bullets. Later that afternoon the coroner held an inquest and returned the usual ver- Some Critically Ill. ynchings CE ISSUE Accused Over Wlessness--Mob Hospital by Nurses Monroe are greatly aroused over real events in this section within four- ment in a night raid on St. Francis ment on lynching a Negro patient, the ly two nurses in the hospital, and the passenger train and the lynching of the acts re dict, "death at the hands of unknown or parties."

The invasion of the hospital by the mob and the failure of the police and peace officers to give proper protection aroused great indignation among the people on Monroe.

"It was with great surprise and indignation that we read the account given in yesterday's News-Star of the raid on a mob composed of masked men on a ward in St. Francis' Sanitarium, where a number of critically ill patients were confined at the time. The mob entered the colored ward Monday night at 9 o'clock and demanded George Bolden of two nurses, who were in the warde unprotected, and as they could not recognize their victim they attacked the wrong man, who had been operated on, and who died from shock the following night. "The police were called and only staved a few minutes, leaving a pistol with the nurse. In an hour the attack was repeated and were held off by several nurses, the nurse with the pistol daring them to enter. The mob register for a few minutes, then ran. One shot was fired in the air by the nurse. On man was caught, who was recognized and was thought to be a friend of the hospital. He was turned over to the police, who said he 'escaped' when he got to the corner." "The police were called while the mob was at the sanitarium and responded one-half hour late. They then remained at the hospital until 12 o'clock, when the Negro was removed to the jail. The sheriff and deputy sheriff came at 12 o'clock. "The hospital was continuous watched by strange men, who helped to form the mob, until 12 o'clock after. "The sanitarium was not trying to uphold the Negro, because if the crime they said he did was true, he needed to be punished. While a patient is in the hospital he must be protected and also the reputation of the hospital. "We think it a disgrace to Monro for a mob to come to the sanitarium to carry out their vengeance, and to scar the nurses and patients, when the easily could have waited until the patient was carried home. "The nurses were fold by the police if the mob came again not to offer an resistance. They also wanted to take the Negro to the jail while the mob was still around the sanitarium, but the nurses refused to let him go. "It certainly seems strange that the man who was caught could be held by ladies, but made his escape from the officers. "The NURSES." Speaking editorially on "The Monroe Lynching" the New Orleans Times Phragmose said in part: "Mobs have been guilty of many our rages and attrocities in the heat of their search for blood, but never that we can remember have they invaded hospitals to drag out wounded patients to lynch them. It is one of the worst charges made against the Germans that, in the heat of war, they refused to recognize the sinacity of hospitals and attacker and bombed them, and nothing did more to arouse the sentiment of the civilized world against German terrorism that this cruelty and barbarism. The assault on the sanitarium at Monroe must not go unpunished. Mob rule in Louisiana must end now. Policemen and sheriff who fail to protect hospitals and prisoners should be treated as members of the mob." NURSES TO MEET IN BOSTON.

How many of such overseas complaints did he bring to my atten “tion as he easily could have done as a ‘correspondent’ and as Ralph W. Tyler, accredited war correspondent; actaally did? “3. What did he himself do to help the situation overseas and to have the ‘wrongs corrected? Is it not a fact that when the opportunity was offered for him to counsel with colored officers in group that he re- fused to do so, preferring to be ina position to criticise later rather than to be ‘a present help in time of-trou- die?’ If he did not wish to report the grievances of colored soldiers to. me personally as being beneath his dignity, did he not have access to every regimental and divisional headquarters in France the same as other ‘correspondents ?” “4. Did he make any effort while in-France to have the injustices complained of ameliorated, or did he await his return to America, 3,000 miles away from France, to pro- test? “I cHillenge him to cite specifically shat overseas complaints among Negro roops he ever brought directly to my ttention or to the attention of my offce, here, according to his own testimony, uch “complaints should have been rought and pressed for correction. “I CALL FOR HIS ‘BILL OF PAR- ICULARS! | eagerly await his reply."

A. secretary on this side bearing the following sentiment written by William Allen White, under the title of "The Democracy of Courage": "That Courage—that thing which the Germans thought was their special gift from heaven, bred of military discipline, rising out of German Kultur—we know now is the commonest heritage of men. It is the divine fire burning in the soul of us that proves the case for democracy. For at base and underneath, we are all equals. In crises, the rich man, the poor man, the thief, the harlot, the preacher, the teacher, the laborer, the ignorant, the wise, all go to death for something immortal in the human spirit. Those truck drivers, those mule whackers, those common soldiers, that doctor, these college men on the ambulance are brothers to-might in the democracy of courage. Upon that democracy is the hope of the race, for it be-speaks a wider and deeper kinship of men." This sentiment by the famous Kansas philosopher impressed both the private and the "Y" man as fine, and the latter sent it to THE AGE that it might be given wide circulation. We, therefore, reprint it here, as it unobtutely applies to the many soldiers of the Negro race over there, who demonstrated their title to the common heritage of courage. It certainly should entitle them to a full and equal participation in the benefits of a real democracy. A SOUTHERN DEMAND. According to a headline in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, "Ouachita Parish sternly demands law enforcement." The article which calls for this heading is a letter from Monroe, La., in which it is stated that the citizens of that place are greatly aroused over a series of crimes and sensational events taking place in that section during the past fourteen months. The culmination of these events was a night raid on a hospital by a masked mob bent on lynching a Negro patient, the foiling of the mob by two nurses, and the subsequent holding up of a railroad train and the lynching of the Negro by the mob. The victim of the lynchers had been accused of writing an insulting note to a white woman, and had been shoved from being taken to the hospital. The death of another patient was also caused by his tough handling by the mob. The police were called for a failure to do their duty in the matter, they reaching the hospital a half hour late and then allowed the member of the mob held by the nurses to escape. The nurses issued a statement giving the facts, and statements condemning the mob were also made by the rector of the Episcopal Church and the rabbi of the Jewish synagogue. The only daily paper published in Monroe called for a special session of the Grand Jury to investigate and return true bills against the guilty parties, closing with the demand: "Turn on the searchlight and let's make an honest effort to refute the declaration that 'Monroe is the lynching center of Louisiana.'" A Federal inquiry is also expected on the ground that the mob violated two Federal laws in holding up the train. Incidentally, it is stated that there is much doubt in the midst of the best citizens of Monroe as to the guilt of the man lynched, such doubt being based on the fact that he could not write. The letter winds up this effort to whitewash the citizens of Monroe with the statement: "An overwhelming majority of the people here are opposed to mob rule and lawlessness of any kind. The city is enjoying unprecedented prosperity, as a result of the development work that is going on in the gas field, and the people want it known that life and property will be protected to the utmost." It is remarkable that such an effort as the foregoing should be made by any town in the South to clear itself from the stain of mob violence. It is significant of a change proceeding from within that can formulate such a demand for the suppression of lynching, showing not only that there is an element in the South that believes in law and order, but that this element is finding its voice. While self-interest appears to be the strongest motive for this demand, it must be remembered that this sentiment is at the bottom of most human actions. Material prosperity has come to Monroe as the result of development. Development is dependent on capital. Capital is shy of investment where life and property are not secure. Hence, the citizens of Monroe wisely insist upon protection to life and property, or at least demand such protection. The genuineness of this demand will be attested by the result of the measures taken in this matter of lynching. Evidently the war has not introduced the spirit of true democracy among the students of the Annapolis Naval Academy. At the athletic meet between the Academy team and the University of Pennsylvania, the navy coach announced that his team would not run against the Pennsylvania team if a colored member of the latter team ran. Most of the Penn. runners were in favor of not running, but the team as a whole showed a lack of real sportsmanship, especially the coach, Lawson Robertson, who submitted to the absurd discrimination of the Annapolis students. When it is remembered that these cadets are being educated at the expense of black and white taxpayers alike, the impertinence of their demand was only equaled by the weakness of the submission to it. During the prevalence of the influenza epidemic several correspondents of THE AGE, from various sections, noted the fact that the colored people suffered less from the ravages of this disease than the whites. Especially was this noted in localities in the South. This statement was recently confirmed by life insurance experts at the thirteenth annual meeting of the Actuarial Society held recently in New York City. A report of the meeting stated that: James D. Craig, of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., and Dr. Louis L. Dublin submitted a paper on the effects of the influenza epidemic. They presented statistics showing that the disease caused a greater increase of mortality rate among holders of industrial policies than among any other type, and that Negroes suffered far less than white people It would be interesting to know the reason for this comparative immunity of the Negro to this disease. Can it be due to a greater degree of vitality inherent in the race, or has the progress of hygiene and sanitation contributed to this result? At any rate, it should make the insurance people revise their figures as to the comparative mortality and susceptibility to disease of the two races. The Pennsylvania Legislature defeated the Civil Rights bill introduced by Representative Geary by a vote of 81 to 45. And yet the Keystone State was once the bulwark of Republicanism. Those Republican Legislators who repudiated the principles of the party should be remembered by the voters at the next election. VIEWS and REVIEWS JOHN W. JOHNSON, CONSTITUTIVE MEMBER has played a skillful game of diplomacy, she has watched her chances and made her abble over purely European affairs so which concerned solely the continental right out by the Big Four. She is a man she chose to leave strictly European powers. In this, Japan evidently hesitatic questions a matter which they do her. He probable, too, that Japan may not have right for the inclusion of the racial equations covenant. She made as hard as that when she made her demand for European powers, hardly daring to oppose agree to let her have it. At any rate, after all, that for the present Japan ofocracy in the East of greater importance, one of the League of Nations declaring doubt, feels confident that she can commit she has the power to do so, and unique in the Orient is a sure step toward an intelligent enough to know that a new League of Nations would not seek of treatment unless she had the power those words. The case of the Negro what a parallel. The Negro is guilty in the Constitution, but he has learned his will not be accorded him until her power necessary to compel the enforced rest in the Constitution. Nothing applies except power. Every which Japan has gained does violence" so far as China is concerned it is better for China to be dominated by some European government. Since "democracy" and "self-determination" founding slogans of this war have dwelt the settlement of the war bids fair to grab as much as possible, we want it possibly can. We should like to see the Orient as the United States is intended like to see an Asiatic Monro interpreter and administrator. Far as we can see, is perhaps the great of the world. She herself may not had people of other races, nevertheless benefit them all. One great world power will have tremendous influence on other colored races. An evidently already realizes, that it will willing to treat her as an equal and treatment, she can quicker gain the easy gathering to herself the support of world. She must see that so long as to Chinese and to East Indians and is not secure. She may not deem in these other peoples just now, but the will do so. Japan has played a skillful game of diplomacy at the peace conference. She has watched her chances and made the most of them. From the squabble over purely European affairs she remained aloof. The matters which concerned solely the continent of Europe she left to be fought out by the Big Four. She is a member of the Big Five, but she chose to leave strictly European questions to the strictly European powers. In this, Japan evidently had the design of making Asiatic questions a matter which the European powers would leave to her. It is quite probable, too, that Japan may not have fully expected to win her fight for the inclusion of the racial equality clause in the League of Nations covenant. She made as hard a fight for it as she did in order that when she made her demand for supremacy in the Orient the European powers, hardly daring to oppose her on both points, would agree to let her have it. At any rate, this has been the result. It is likely, after all, that for the present Japan deems her unquestioned supremacy in the East of greater importance than a paragraph in the covenant of the League of Nations declaring for racial equality. She, no doubt, feels confident that she can command racial equality whenever she has the power to do so, and unquestioned supremacy for her in the Orient is a sure step toward her securing that power. Japan is intelligent enough to know that a few words in the covenant of the League of Nations would not secure for her absolutely equality of treatment unless she had the power to enforce the fulfillment of those words. The case of the Negro in the United States is somewhat a parallel. The Negro is guaranteed equality of citizenship in the Constitution, but he has learned that that equality of citizenship will not be accorded him until he has in some way secured the power necessary to compel the enforcement of the words that are written in the Constitution. Nothing appeals to modern white civilization except power. The victory which Japan has gained does violate the principle of "self-determination" so far as China is concerned, but we feel that on the whole it is better for China to be dominated by Japan than to be dominated by some European government. In fact, since "democracy" and "self-determination" and all the other high-sounding slogans of this war have dwindled to nothing but words, and the settlement of the war bids fair to degenerate into the old game of grab as much as possible, we want to see Japan grab as much as she possibly can. We should like to see Japan relatively as powerful in the Orient as the United States is in the western continent. We should like to see an Asiatic Monroe Doctrine with Japan as its interpreter and administrator. Japan, so far as we can see, is perhaps the greatest hope for the colored races of the world. She herself may not be directly interested in colored people of other races, nevertheless, her ascendancy will directly benefit them all. One great world power made up of a colored race will have tremendous influence on the treatment accorded to all other colored races. And Japan evidently already realizes, that since the white nations are not willing to treat her as an equal and that she must contend for that treatment, she can quicker gain the power necessary to compel it by gathering to herself the support of all the colored peoples of the world. She must see that so long as equality of treatment is denied to Chinese and to East Indians and to Africans, that her own position is not secure. She may not deem it wise to espouse the cause of these other peoples just now, but the time is sure to come when she will do so. All success to little Japan.

Among colored veterans of the great war two well defined movements have been started for the formation of national organizations. These two organizations are, "The Grand Army of Americans" with headquarters at Washington, and the "League for Democracy" with headquarters at New York. The purpose of both of these bodies is to look out for the best interests of the men who were in the war and, in a general way, to work for the best interests of the entire race. William T. Ferguson, Organizer of the Grand Army of Americans, in a letter to us, says: We are organized under the laws of the District of Columbia for the purpose of looking after the welfare of the soldiers and sailors who have fought for Uncle Sam in any war. Welfare means, everything possible for the uplift of these men and, incidentally, ourselves. We are going to organize Departments in every state where practicable. We are going to organize Camps in every state to cooperate with the Departments. We are not going to join with any white organization to be tailenders. We have already had an invitation from the United Veterans of Dayton, Ohio, to become a "colored section." Of course, if any organization of whites proposes anything that is for the benefit of all we will join in and help them. Our is a SOLDIER and SAILOR organization, and we bar no one on account of color, religion or otherwise. The League for Democracy, in a circular issued from its headquarters, says that the objects and purposes of the League will be to: Keep alive the military spirit of the race; fight for colored officers in all the branches of the armed forces of the country; endeavor, to have the achievements of colored men given a fair record in the histories; fight to remove the dead line which prevents the advancement of colored It is announced that out of the funds to be raised by the Salvation Army drive some two hundred thousand dollars are to be devoted to the erection of a building in South Philadelphia, "Exclusively for colored people."

Membership in the League is limited to colored soldiers and naval men, the families of colored soldiers and naval men and those colored persons who have engaged in essential war work or work in some auxiliary or relief organization during the great war. It is a good sign to see that our men who have taken part in the war intend to use the training in organization they have, received in fighting for better conditions for themselves and the race. The lessons they have learned as soldiers will stand them in good stead in the civil struggle which confronts the race. In this struggle the race has every reason to expect leaders from among the ranks of its young men who have learned these lessons. However, at the outset, it is regrettable that the lessons of organization and the military knowledge of the necessity of co-ordination of action did not dictate the formation of one organization rather than two. We cannot see that there is room or need for two organizations formed out of the same groups of men, and having as the reason for their existence the same purposes. We hope some plan for consolidating these two bodies will be worked out. Also, if our suggestion is worth anything, we should say that the program of the League for Democracy is too comprehensive, it takes in too much. It will be a pretty big job to fight for equal military and political opportunity and to take an effective stand against all forms of race prejudice and injustice. In addition to that, to undertake the establishment of business concerns all over the country would constitute a task beyond the powers of any one organization. We should prefer to see the League for Democracy concentrate all its strength and energy upon those particular objects which by the nature of its being it is best fitted to accomplish. It does seem like a parody on the ends which were proclaimed as the purposes of this war, that colored men who fought on the same battlefields and under the same flag as white American soldiers, should nevertheless be compelled to set up separate organizations of veterans; yet, this is true. The convention which was called at St. Louis for the purpose of organizing the American Legion met last week. Louisiana sent five hundred men to the convention. These Louisiana delegates were given a rousing send off by the City of New Orleans. The principal speaker of the occasion, John M. Parker, is reported to have said as follows: One reason I am so anxious to speak to you is because of the tremendous power for good you hold. And I feel that power for good must be exercised by the white men of the South and not by anybody else. I don't believe any law could make a white man of the South recognize a Negro as his equal. Concluding, Mr. Parker urged the veterans to choose their delegates to the national caucus with the greatest care and to instruct them not to go "as suppliants but as men of the South, representing a pure blood strain and demanding recognition on that plea." He said every praise is due the Negro for his honorable record in the war, but that the two races could not mix as equals in the South. The significance of the instructions given to these delegates to the convention from Louisiana is increased by the fact that when Theodore Roosevelt refused to take the chairmanship, it was given to Major Henry Lindsley Dickinson of Dallas, Texas. This is an indication of the strength and influence which the spirit of the South is going to have in the organization. The Southern veterans will, of course, go into this American Legion with one express purpose, and that is to keep the Negro out; the Northern veterans will not have any such determination to get the Negro in. And that is an illustration of the way in which things have been running for the past forty years. But it is very likely that, after all, the colored men may gain a great many things by being forced to organize for themselves than they could gain by being an inconsequential part of the American Legion, with no voice or influence in its direction. As we said above, we hope that some way will be found to consolidate these two colored organizations; if there is not, we hope that they will work in harmony, and that each will devote itself with sincerity, earnestness and honesty to the fight which is bigger and more important than any in which they took part in France. NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE REV. RICHARD CARROLL Congress, S. C. I. was delighted to have the Editor of Tim New York Acad at all my home, and on a trip through South carolina, during the months of January and February. I was at Voorhees Industrial School in Denmark, N.C. I a few days ago, the county in which I was born, and I was converted in sight of this institution. I was brought up on a branch about two miles from the school. My mother was a slave in that community. The school is a daughter of Tuskegee Institute, is very much like Tuskegee, and while at Voorhees you will be reminded of being there. Martin A. Menafice is secretary and treasurer of this institution. He is a kaiser, a Hindenburg, and a General Foch. I have long known that he was overseer, bishop and general manager. He doesn't talk much, but he thinks more than he speaks. He is very unassuming, but you can soon discover that he is the boss, and any man that comes here to be principal, must work under him. He is a good kaiser, and what else could he be, and remain at the head of this institution in such a community as it is. He has the good will of all the people in the community, both white and black, and when you get the good will of the white people in a community like Denmark in Bamberg County or in Barnwell County, you have accomplished great things. The editor of THE NEW YORK ACE visited Voorhees when he was in South Carolina, and I am glad he had the opportunity of seeing things done down there in that low ground of sorrow. Dr. E. R. Roberts of Florence, S. C. has been elected principal of this school for next year. I told him that when he goes to that Empire, remember that Martin A. Menafee was the kiser and the czar. One thing about Dr. Roberts, he won't fight, he will obey. He is highly educated and a Christian gentle- man. He is a man who serves and wants to serve. He is going to a good place where he will have an opportunity to serve his fellow men under Czar Menaice. I and that Fred R. Moore is Czar of THE NEW YORK AGE, and, in fact, he told me so. The family works on the stock type, and it is run by the Fred R. Moore family. I have been the Czar of a certain domain in South Carolina which I gave up a month ago. I resigned as president of the race conference, because I am getting old and want some one else to take my place, and "fun things." The editor of THE NEW YORK AGE has a standing invitation to come to South Carolina and the people are looking for him to come again next fall. His speeches in South Carolina were highly appreciated. I have never met a man whose company I enjoyed more than his. He is as popular where he has gone along as the late Dr. Booker T. Washington was.

Other aspirants in the journalistic field, locally denominated "our papers," have also much to commend. But recently one, an ignoble exception, has betrayed a certain sign of degeneracy, the cultivation of sensationalism at the expense of accuracy. Implied accusations are indefensible, veiled iniminations are cowardly and contemptible; when scurrilous, they become despicable and infamous. Usually ignoring such seems sensible and self-respecting, but, after having heard scandal mongering scathingly denounced by the fearless president of the Brooklyn Forum, at its last meeting, I am constrained to endorse his many course of "grasping a nettle to show its brittleness," and add my personal word of caution to his clarion admonition. Persons and news sheets are advised, if their aim is to be considered trustworthy and decent, to hold themselves above reproach by carefully censoring all matter they deem incumbent upon them to publish. The criticised paragraph seemed to aim at the discrimination of calumny and that with ghoulish glee. If the parent are unable to escape calumny, it is equally true that an injury inflicted with malice prepense, often coils to the hurt of the perpetrator. The insinuating, misleading, compromising statements, inferring that some of the so-called "best people" in Brooklyn are undesirable residents for restricted districts, are wholly unsupported by proof. Mud slinging among men is repreensible, inuendoes besmirching womanhood arouse indignation and disgust. Vice, like virtue, may generate its own reward; pandering to prudent tastes may involve the unscrupulous if ever they emerge from under cover, in both annoyance and mortification. A story in yesterday's Sun made public a peculiar coineidence. It told that a man employed to serve distress warrants, found his own family being evicted upon his arrival home one day last week. Should the author of the insidious news item ever find himself unable to secure a desirable home location in Brooklyn, he may lay the difficulty, in part if not entirely, to his own unsupported allegation, from which only one possible inference could be drawn—some of our so-called "best pigs" are by no means desirable neighbors. In the premises; he will have only himself to thank, for gratious injustice, like chickens, are more than likely to return home to roost. M. R. Lyons. Assistant Principal (retired). P. S. No. 83, Brooklyn. A BROOKLYN WOMAN CALLS FOR URGE TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK AGE I am a Brooklyn woman who has been an interested reader of your paper for many years, because one of its salient features has been an ever-ready willingness to uplift the race. I think we need some help over here just now. Let me explain. For three months Brooklyn has been rocked from center to circumference by the biggest scandal in which it has ever been her privilege to indulge. A story was started that a certain house on either Bainbridge street, Herkimer street or Carlton avenue (all have been named) was raided a Saturday evening in February and professional men with young ladies, married and single, belonging to the "400" of Brooklyn, were arrested and taken to the station house. The most affecting stories were told at the arrival of the patrol wagon and in leaving, of the length of time that some of the people waited to be bailed out after their arrival, and the story insisted by telling of one man having his knife strained while attempting to escape. Feminine Brooklyn took its telephone receivers off their hooks (we always gossip on the phone in Brooklyn-suffer) and got to work. Friends called up friends concerning other people daughters, and repeated the story, the magic word "400" giving a large score to draw from. Young women of mublemished character who had never done anything in life but mind their own affairs and earn their living, were "mentioned." Some one knew a man who knew a man, who had two names on a police blotter. Some one else knew a girl who was out on parole. Some else knew a man who waited around the corner and saw it all and to the climax a colored paper in a highly colored article exploded the doors of a "hevy of young girls from the best families," etc. etc. --- Some harassed and indictment masters got to work. They hired an attorney and a lawyer, and searched the records in the vicinity of all the mentioned and found—nothing went to the Children's Court and District Attorney's office and found there had never been a raid, and never been any arrests made, never girls put on parole, and now combing. Brooklyn with the aid of detective and lawyers to find who started and are keeping a nasty story. During all this time Mr. Edith has not been a voice raised in nor a hand in defence. No one to remember that a "good name" is rulers" and once taken away, can be returned. No one seems to real that to bandy decent young girls in clubs, cafes and barber shops with a real reason, is an unpardonable And so, I have taken my feeble in hand to protest against the world mongering, gossiping spirit which is pividing our fair city of Brooklyn, and to ask your help in that direction. Surely if fifty women of spirit and backbone had set their faces and their influence against the spreading of these malicious statements the story would long ago have died an easy death. If instead of whispering to her neighbor about her neighbor, we had said, "I don't believe it" or "I shan't listen" many a mean mishmation, or untrue statement would never have been made. Women are trying to enter into a new era, and if they want to stand for themselves they must learn to stand on for each other, and insist that "envy, hatred and malice, and all uncharitableness" must be frowned down on.

CHILDREN ranging from three years old to the teen age scored a big success as entertainers at the second reunion of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Thursday evening, May 15, at Manhattan Casino, and the pleasing manner in which these juveniles performed opened the eyes of many churchgoers to the fact that there is a wealth of suppressed dramatic talent within the church that ought to be developed. As a general rule the young people connected with our churches only have a chance to display their artistic ability at some concert where conditions are more or less circumscribed. The religious cantata usually is the most ambitious effort put forth, but in the majority of cases the program rendered at a church concert consists of the inevitable recitation solo and duet. GIVE TESTIMONIAL TO MADAME SELIKA. Mme. Marie Selika was given an enthusiastic ovation Tuesday evening at St. Mark's Hall, 130th street, between Lenox and Fifth avenues on which occasion the citizens of New York gave a grand testimonial in her honor. Madame Selika was in good voice and proved to her hearers that she still is Thanks to Mrs. Albert S. Reed, the young folks of the church appeared Thursday evening in a more difficult and critical role. The most significant and gratifying feature about it was that the audience, made up principally of church-goers, gave their unqualified endorsement to this new form of entertainment. "The Little Orphans," described on the program as a playlet in one act, was the vehicle which gave the children an opportunity to speak lines and sing. "Butterfly" a pretty picture number, elicited most applause and was the most spectacular piece of theatricals some in the audience had ever seen. The boys wore evening clothes while the girls, though modestly costumed, emulated the dress and grace of the Broadway chorus. Little Ruby Alston, not six years old, won the hearts of all present in her song, "I Want a Doll." She was as cool as the proverbial cucumber. The fact that hundreds of eyes were on her did not matter one bit. Three-year-old E. Madison Jones, the principal comedian of the evening, worked with Ruby and helped to enliven matters. All musical numbers were costumed with taste, and Mrs. Reed is to be commended for departing from the old and well-beaten path. The time has arrived for the churches of all denominations to discard some of their prejudicial notions heretofore entertained on the subject of wholesome amusements for children. This is a utilitarian age; the children can be made a most modern and helpful children, if it will braiden out and assist in developing the God-given talents of the young people. The program, all of which was enjoyed by the large audience, was as follows: 1. "All Hail the Power of Jesus" Name—Miles Lahir Mount Lahir, Chair and Clof Club leading. 2. Invocation Rev. R. W. M.

THE WOMAN HE MARRIED AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE Never before in the history of Harlem theatricals has a better play been presented than "The Woman He Married" Herbie Bashford's big dramatic success, which is the attraction being presented by the Lafayette Players to crowded houses at the Lafayette Theatre. The attraction is a big success. "The Woman He Married" tells an interesting story. It is a play of the present day. In telling his story, the author has not "beaten around the bush" but in a straight forward manner has lifted the veil which covers the lives of many in this world. It is a play with a great moral lesson. Evelyn Ellis, in the role originated and played for several seasons by Virginia Harned, is scoring her biggest hit She is giving a fine exhibition. Walter Thompson, as Jack Harding, was never better. J. L. Criner, as Cecil Armaby, the Englishman, is good and Charles Olden, as Jules Marston, the artist, makes that character stand out. Inez Clough as Mrs. Whitson Bambridge, and Barrington Carter, as Col. John Harding, do excellently. Walter Robinson, as Nogouchi, though a small part, plays it well. "The Havoc," a play which was for many seasons the starring success of Henry Miller, will be the offering of the Players at the Lafayette Theatre next week. NEGRO SOLDIERS IN MOTION PIC The Frederick Douglass Film Company, 354 Pacific avenue, Jersey City, N.J. recently released *New picture N. J. Heroic Soldiers of the World War* and which is being shown to enthusiastic audiences in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Delaware and the District of Columbia. There is no doubt about this being the best and most attractive motion picture made of the Negro soldier in the world war. Dr. Geo. E. Cannon, the manager, is pleased with the run the picture is making and feels confident that it will exceed in bookings any picture yet produced on the Negro. The company is owned and controlled by Negroes, whose aim is to present the better side of Negro life, and to use the screen as a means of bringing about better feelings between the races. In most pictures the Negro only appears in menial positions or in a degrading role, but the Frederick Douglass Film Company shows the race at its best. Dr. W. S. Smith, the director, has given much time and study to photographing the Negro, and has become an expert in making the features clear and distinct under all conditions. This picture measures up to the standard of mobile picture requirements, and is a credit to the Buffalo and the Detroit. The picture shows the "Black Devils," the "Hell Fighters," the "Buffaloes" and the "Red Devils" in action under fire. Leading race men say this picture should be shown to all the Allied nations. Scope of Picture. This picture portrays the Negro soldier leaving home, being trained in camp, going overseas, fighting in France and his triumphant return home. Never before in the history of America has the Negro race played such an important part in a worldwide program. Race men from every walk of life fought and died in France "to make the world safe for democracy." The government used our pictures in its conduct of camp amusements, and this fact is evidence of the high standing of our company's work—Adv.

Elay, executive secretary, the Brooklyn branch, though formed less than two years ago, has developed its efforts untiringly during this period to the common problem which so visitably affects the social and industrial welfare of its colored constituency. These problems are of concern to all races. The league is constantly called on by the city's public and private agencies. The following have called upon the office for co-operation: Federal, State and Municipal Employment Bureaus, Bureau of Charities, Juvenile Probation Society, Children's Court Health Department, Board of Education, Society for the Improvement of the Conditions of the Poor, Lincoln Settlement, Lincoln Mission, War Camp Community Services, Young Men's and Women's Christian Association, Children's Society and Colored Orphan Asylum at Riverdale. The league has given a great deal of time to case work, and in order to do this work it should be done, it has recently placed on its staff a trained woman, who in addition to her other duties will make initial visits on all cases, and then move them to the poor organization. The housing problem in certain societies is very urgent. The league recently made two housing surveys. First made because the members of the board had brought to their attention the miserable conditions in some of the colored people were to live. In order to have contacts to present, to the tenement department, a special investigation was made. It is the hope of the league to some one interested in building homes for the colored renters. It is also have the city see the city of preventing occupancy of practically unfit houses. The second was made during the month of October for the housing committee of the construction commission of the State New York. The number of the place, Prescott place, Atlantic and Herkimer street.
