work since the last meeting were
on the board: William Evans,
of the Lisk University, with sev-
ence experience as teacher and

He has decided to enter Alumni.
This order was issued by Lieutenant Colonel Sayder after a board of officers, committing of Captain J. F. R. Squire, Captain James H. Shekton and Captain George De Sas, all of the 10th Cavalry, had heard the testimony in the case preferred against Lieutenant Mimich, and found him guilty of trying to draw the color line against soldiers of the regiment and their families.
The finding of the board was: "The board finds that the amusement officer, First Lieutenant P. H. Mimich, 10th Cavalry, on his own initiative, arranged a new plan of seating for the amusement hall, without any previous notice, and that he endowed to enforce this plan in a most tactless and inconsiderate manner. The board finds that Lieutenant Mimich endeavored to discriminate between the colored and the white, and in so doing, seems to have lost his head."
The recommendations made by the board were that the seating arrangements in the amusement hall at Fort Hunchuca be the same as in the past; that there be no discrimination on account of color and that, with the exception of the officers, all choose seats to suit their own preference.
The recommendation that a new amusement officer be appointed, as the amusement and entertainment and usefulness of Lieutenant Mimich.
The testimony offered was that on the evening of June,9 when colored soldiers and their wives went to the amusement hall they were told that the first three rows were reserved for white people. The witnesses were First Lieutenant E. H. Minnack, Sergeant Major E. P. Person, Sergeant Major George Smith, First Sergeant Thomas Jordan, Sergeant D. Dowd, Sergeant M. A. Harris and Sergeant J. Clark. Minnack denied that he had drawn the color line. The witnesses testified that the lieutenant introduced the "Jim Crow" policy.
RAISE LARGE SUMS FOR NEGRO EDUCATION
(Special to THE NEW York Age)
RALLEIGH, N. C.-Prof. Chas. H.
Moore, state agent Rosenwald School
House Building Fund, in making his
report at the annual meeting of the State
Teachers' Association, held at Shaw
University from June 10 to 12, stated
that during past fifteen months he
visited thirty-nine counties; that in
the counties the colored people have
raised toward helping to build new
school houses for their children $32,
45,375; that the public school officials in
the same counties have appropriated
$43,000 to aid them. The total raised
from both sources was $75,453,75.
Prof. Moore said that the sum is a
conservative estimate, because since he
made his first visit to some of these
counties over a year ago many of the
colored patrons have increased their
contributions and several of the counties
have made appropriations for
school house building, which did not at
first.
When one takes into consideration the
increase on the part of the colored people
and the public school officials, suppl
mented by Mr. Rosenwald's donations,
amounting to about $26,000, it is no exaggeration to assert that at least
$125,000 have been raised and given for
building better school houses for colored
children in the rural districts of North
Carolina during the above mentioned
period.
Col. William Hayward, commander of the old 15th, and Mrs. May Caldwell Manwaring Plant of 1051 Fifth avenue, were quietly married last Saturday at the Plaza Hotel, the ceremony being performed by Capt. John V. Axton, Jr., chaplain in the army and a friend of the bridegroom. The marriage was a big surprise to the friends of the couple. Mrs. James M. McTierman was matron of honor and Colonel Hayward's son. Leland, was his best man. Colonel Hayward gave his age as 42. The bride is in the widow of the late Commodore Plant, who died recently having millions of dollars. Commodore Plant made his bride a present of $8,000,000 when they were married in 1914.

SeventeenQuit But Employer Stands by Colored Ex-Soldier
New Britain, Conn.—Seventeen men, mid to be mostly of German and Austrian nationality, quit work on milling machines at the New Britain Machine Company last week because a returned colored soldier named Brown, who saw active service overseas and was cited for bravery on two different occasions, besides being awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and the French War Cross, was hired to work on a machine with them.
The record of Brown ranks with the best in the city, he having shown himself a soldier in the fullest sense of the word. On his return to this city he sought employment at the machine company and was hired as a miller. He was put to work, and immediately the men in his department objected and left their machines. Superintendent Buol was called to the room and could not prevail upon the men to return to their jobs.
Then Superintendent Hayer went to the room and found the men standing about, idle. He told them that Brown was going to continue at work regardless of their wishes, and if they did not work they could, and if they did not they could get out. Seventeen of them put on their coats and walked out, and a few minutes later their pay was figured up, they were paid and checked off, and are not on the factory payroll any more.

A minister who was present at the trial, said: "I have attended many courts in my time, but never before in my life have I seen such an exhibition of high temper as Mr. Coon displayed." This is the same Prof. Coon who slapped a colored female teacher of the Wilson Graded Schools last year, so arousing the colored citizens that they boycotted the public schools, and are maintaining a large private school here.

WHITE MAN LYNCHED AS
DR. MOTON PREDICTED
AUTAGAVILLE, Ala.—Last Sunday Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, addressed a large audience, composed of white and colored people, and denounced mob violence.

C.-From one room rented at $2 a month to a two-story building covering a half block in the heart of the business section of the city; from one clerk to forty-clerks, and from one county to ten states, with over a half million invested in staple assets, is a part of the record shown at the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company held here Friday and Saturday.

Sergt. Major John Green Is Shot and Killed by Street Car Conductor at Birmingham
BIRMINGHAM, ALA.—The Colored Soldiers' Organization, Lieut. Molton H. Gray, chairman, has offered a reward of $250 for the arrest of the white street car conductor who, without provocation, shot and instantly killed Sept. Major John Green, recently discharged from the army. The dead man was all known here.
The killing of Sergeant Major Green was one of the most outrageous ever committed here, and feeling is high among the Negro citizens regarding it. The dead man was in the employ of a firm which puts out pictures showing the colored soldier in France.
Sergeant Major Green was murdered June 15 by a conductor on an outbound Pratt Ensley car. He was in company with another soldier of the same name and they were on their way to Dozier Park.
When Sergeant Major Green gave the conductor a quarter for their fare the latter passed on without returning the charge. He called the conductor's attention to the fact that some change was forthcoming, but there was no response.
The next time the conductor passed him Green told the conductor he was getting off at the next station and had not received his change. The conductor drew a gun and fired three times into the victim's body, one bullet entering the upper lip, another in the chin and the third in the neck. The young man who accompanied the sergeant major was shot and is in a critical condition.
Sergeant Major Green was killed instantly. The conductor stopped the car and dragged the body of the dead man along the side of the track and then fired.
The car on which Green was killed was a trailer and had only colored passengers. It is said that when the shooting took place most of the passengers jumped off the car and took flight, leaving the two young men at the mercy of the conductor and his revolver.
HOWARD APPROPRIATION HELD UP IN CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Although some temporary embarrassment has been occasioned by the action of Congressman Ragsdale, of South Carolina, in holding up the appropriations for the support of Howard University for the next fiscal year, the authorities do not consider that the final grant of the customary allowance is seriously endangered. Chairman Good, of the Committee on Appropriations, recalls the fact that the appropriation for Howard University had been frequently stricken out in the House, and restored in the Senate, the conferences of both branches of Congress finally restoring it. He indicates that the same course will be followed in this instance, and the friends of the Institution here desire it to be given out to the country that there need not be any mute alarm felt because of the existing situation, which bids fair to be remedied in the near future.
Last Friday, when the sundry Civil Bill came up for consideration in the House of Representatives, Mr. Ragsdale raised a point of order on the items for the maintenance of Howard University, which aggregated $80,360, contending that there is no legislation authorizing such appropriation. Chairman Good admitted that there is no legislation authorizing the appropriation, but urged Mr. Ragsdale to let it stand, as the appropriation had been carried in the bill for many years and the money was necessary for the proper support of an institution that was doing great good in providing education for the most promising element of Negro people of the nation. Mr. Ragsdale insisted upon his point of order and the items were stricken out.
Steps have been taken by the Senate Committee, on Appropriations of which Senator Warren, of Wyoming, is chairman. The feeling among the leaders of the Senate is that not only should the $80,360 be allowed, but that the amount should be increased three-fold, to permit the establishment of Howard Hill of a great "National Negro University," that will stand permanently as a center for the higher and professional training of the colored American.

STAMFORD, CONN.—A court action which developed the fact that Miss Charlotte Wardlow, of Stamford, who inherited the $500,000 estate of her brother-in-law, Dr. Arnold C. Hawes, had willed everything she possessed to a colored servant, William Thomas Harris, was begun Monday in the Probate Court here.
The town of Darien petitioned the court to appoint an administrator of the estate, but at the same time set forth the fact that the estate seems to have disappeared, with the exception of a mortgage for $5,500 Miss Wardlow assigned to Harris in 1918.
Miss Wardlow was a sister of Mrs. Hawes, and came into the Hawes estate upon the death of Mrs. Hawes. Harris had been a servant to Dr. Hawes and remained in the employ of Miss Wardlow. Before long Miss Wardlow became a recluse at her Darien home, with Harris as her only companion. On July 6, 1918, she executed a will naming Harris as her sole beneficiary, and on the same day an assignment of the mortgage to him.
In August of that year Miss Wardlow was taken to the Stamford Hospital, and a few months later she was removed to the State Hospital for the Insane, where she died in December. During the time she was in the hospitals she called continuously for Harris, and pleaded to be sent back to him, saying he would take care of her.
The Home Bank and Trust Company of Darien was appointed conservator of her property, and started suit against Harris to have the assignment of mortgage set aside. This action is now pending.

At P. S. 119 a prevocational department with classes in home-making, dressmaking, millinery and applied design has been opened this year, and will be in full working order in the fall. Every effort is being made to make this school of real service to the neighborhood, by preparing children to grasp the utilities at hand. The eight graduates wore dresses of their own handiwork and there was an exhibition of millinery, cooking and Red Cross work.
CHEYNEY TRAINING
CHEYNEY, Pa.—The commencement exercises of the Cheyney Training School for Teachers were held on June 18. A large throng of visitors from Philadelphia, Cheyney, West Chester and more distant places gathered to pay honor to the class of 1919. The exhibition of the students' work was unusually interesting. In the domestic science department there was an appetizing display of plain and fancy baking, canning, drying and preserving. Foods were assembled and labeled to emphasize their nutritive and economic values. "In the domestic art department the vast array of dainty embroidery, dresses, underwear and linen attracted many visitors. The department of design exhibited very beautiful pieces of, stenilcing, leather, clay and metal work. The exhibit of normal art drawing illustrated an excellent graded course in drawing for the elementary school. The well-kept dormitories and class rooms were an exemplification of the practical work in living that Cheyney is giving its students.
The commencement exercises were full of inspiration and representative of the spirit of community usefulness which marks the work of the school. Miss Charlotte Ross of the class of 1916, who is teaching in the Laing School, Mount Pleasant, S. C., gave an interesting account of the manner in which she is reaching the older people of the community through the evening classes in sewing, cooking, reading and writing. Miss Addie Bowser, a former student of the school and president of the Cheyney Ardmore Club, presented $100 to the school to help the work of providing teachers for the Negro race. Mrs. Townsend, president of the Cheyney Community League, spoke of the attraction of the school to the community life. The class presented $200 for current expenses. Erna Nelson of the graduating class told of the needs of her home in Laurel, Miss, and of her vision of the new life which education will bring her people. Elie Garlic, a graduate of the domestic art course, talked of the ideals of dress that Cheyney graduates would carry to their communities.
The school sang with simplicity and understanding a group of Negro melodies. Miss Vida Millholland, the daughter of John R. Millholland of New York, and Alfred Johnson of the Cheyney Training School Faculty, contributed to the enjoyment of the audience by their fine singing.
Dean Elizabeth Powell, Bond, formerly of Swarthmore College, talked with rare insight on the meaning of life. Oswald Garrison Villard gave a very inspiring address on the restoration of peace to the world through living a Christ-like life. Wars would cease, he said, only when the spirit of Christian humanity marks the acts of individuals and nations. The problem of the Negro in America is not to be solved by force, but by following in the steps of the Master.
Diplomas in domestic science were awarded to Adelaide Creditt, Erna Nelson, Rosalie Jefferson, Odessa Hewlett, Rosa Makley, Kathine Whiteside. Diplomas in domestic art were awarded to Elsie Garlick, Retha Mandley and Mary Mitchell, Eloise Walker and
Allene Pitae received certificates. Gledje

TUSKEGEN, Ala.—Nine hundred and thirty-nine teachers from four states enroll in the Institute for summer school of the tenth annual summer school. This enrollment is unprecedented and shows how the teachers in the rural community in the South are striving to strengthen themselves for the work and the heavier responsibilities which have come to them by reason of reconstruction and the readjustment of conditions which grew out of the war. The enrollment to date is over 600.
At 11 o'clock Monday morning, the opening day of the season, Dr. Robert R. Mosson, principal, addressed words of welcome to the teachers. Among other things, he said:
"Teachers as a rule make great sacrifices. You do it because you appreciate the importance of the service you are rendering to the race and to the nation. It is both inspiring and fascinating to take a child and watch his growth during the months and years of his school life as he develops into young manhood. There is nothing that equals it in interest and mutual helpfulness. It is an amount of money that can compensate for a severer development the development of character—the effect of your life upon the boys and girls whom you are teaching. Therefore, I do not yield—even to the preachers, for whom I have the highest respect—in comparing their sacrifices with those of the average school teacher."
Other speakers for the week were: Dr. Geo. D. Goddard, rural school agent for the State of Georgia; C. J. Galloway, director of the extension department, Tuskegee Institute, which directs the work of the Rosenwald Rural School Building; W. B. Riley, superintendent of education, Macon County, Ala.; Dr. H. O. Sargent of the Federal Board of Vocational Education.

"INDUSTRY COMING TO
HARLEM, SAYS GIVENS "Register!" That's the word that comes from "Bert" Givens, industrial secretary of the New York Urban League. It is addressed to men and women, boys and girls. An exhaustive survey of factories has convinced him that before long Harlem will be one of the industrial centers of the big city, and he is destined of having complete data covering the available supply of labor to properly man the coming factories.
Mr. Givens' advice is register at the Urban League office, 2003 Seventh avenue, and say just what you are doing, what sort of factory work you are doing, what you would like to do or what you feel you are capable of doing. Needle work, he says, is plentiful; tower machine operating offers many women lucrative employment; crochet heading, embroidery and spangle work affords steady employment.
Many openings are listed for boys over 16. Men who are mechanics or who are skilled in any trade are instructed to register.

Their services were so invaluable that it seemed that our men simply could not have gotten on without the Y. M. C. A. and as one who has had experience, I want to add my testimony for the fine service that the 'Y rendered the 370th.'

ADVENT IN FRANCE
Mrs. Fred R. Moore is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Thomas H. Kane, his sister-in-law, who resides in Paris, which is, in part, as follows:
Two nights ago, in the middle of the night, the bell of ringing like mad, Digger was a harbling, so I got out of bed and found at my gate a man saying he was Mr. Clark, from Washington. Thinking it was one of my husband's friends, I hit him in. He was very humour, so I gave him a meal and afterwards prepared him a bed. He then told me he was not Mr. Clark, but Mr. Clark had allowed him to use his money, that he had come over to see President Wilson and Clementine, etc., to protest against the way colored people are treated in America.
"I loubled at the man and began to be frightened. He was absolutely like a trumpeter, rage, cry, heart without opinion, he told me painful stories, did not stop a woke that night. The man told me he had come to claim justice and had no time to lose. I asked him what time he wanted breakfast so he could go to town early. "Well, madam, he said, "I will eat at eight."

SOAP BOX ORATORY
One of the commonest symptoms of the existence of social unrest is the prevalence of what is called "soap box oratory." This is the practice of railing against existing institutions by any individual possessed of a voice of carrying capacity, a vocabulary of opprobrious epithets to scourge the capitalists and the conservatives, and a soap box to serve as a platform. Ideas, logic or reason are not required in the equipment of this kind of speaker. Abuse and denunciation are sufficient to attract an audience.
In common with other classes of the community the Negro is not immune to the affliction of the "soap box" orator. Stung by the busy bee of notoriety, and craving for the excitement of the open air forum, the loud lunged orators with more voice than brains have been doing their worst to inflame the inhabitants of the populous sections of the city with a sense of the wrongs committed against them through the heartless machinations of capitalism. Exactly what these wrongs are, they are seldom inclined to specify, but with parrot-like facility they repeat the stereotyped phrases characteristic of the "soap box" forum.
It does not occur to these misguided and vainglorious spouters of words without ideas that the Negro as a race has but little to complain of against capitalists as a class; that toward capitalists as individuals the race owes much in the way of financial help and encouragement of the cause of education; that industrial lines much of the progress already made has been due to the initiative of capital through its leaders and controllers.
Let those who are inclined to denounce capital and also those who listen to them take a sober review of the facts in the case before denouncing all possessors of money or property as the oppressors of the people and enemies of the nation. Labor and capital both have their parts to play in the development of the country. The Negro should be insistent upon a square deal from both sides, but it is hardly wise to believe that all the equity lies on one side of the question. If the "soap box" orator cannot be made to see this and persists in his efforts to stir up strife and incite to violence, he should be abated like any other nuisance.
There is also a mercenary side to this practice of soap box oratory where the speakers are paid to spread the propaganda of certain parties intimical to existing institutions. Devoid of seruples or conscience, these paid propagandists endeavor to poison the popular mind by the dissemination of seeds of unrest, regardless of the taint of treason or bolshevism they may contain. Another lot, after working up their hearers to a sense of the wrongs under which they are suffering, offer as a panacea, some kind of literature at a price, which all goes to the profit of the propagandist.
Despite all their talk about altruistic public service most of these windjammers will be found to derive a direct profit from their labors. They work for both pleasure and profit. The unwary should not be misled by their utterances.
SOUTHERN STATESMAN When Southern statesmen are not running for office, it not infrequently happens that they are capable of fathering sentiments of a broad and liberal tendency. Some of them actually seem to lose sight of the necessity of "keeping the Negro down" and to regard him as a human being with some rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Witness the following letter written by Representative W. D. Upshaw, of the Fifth District of Georgia, under date of June 9, 1919, and addressed to the Rev. C. Ewbank Tucker, of Bedford, Va.:
I have your letter of June 6 relative to the erection of a monument in honor of the colored troops who fought in the war.
I am a friend of every patriotic, one hundred per cent American, whether white or black, and will be glad to co-operate with the friends of your race in bestowing an appropriate honor.
This is in striking contrast, to the former governor of Texas, whose strongest point against woman suffrage was the argument that it "is a Northern idea, fostered by those who believe a Negro is as good as a white man."
It should also serve as a rebuke to the inconsistent editor of the Journal and Carolina Sporism, published at Spartanburg, S. C., who recently sought to detract from the laurels awarded the Negro troops by General Peeshing and the French commanders under whom many of these regiments served. This hypocritical detractor from her merited praise said among other things:
We would not withhold from them the least meed of praise to which they are entitled, but would say that as a fighting unit they were not recognized in any of the armies of the Allies or of their American associates: It is true that General Pershing bestowed upon certain of the Negro troops under his command most extravagant and unmerited recognition, recognition which his own subsequent reports of the casualties sustained by them completely discredited. It is not to be wondered at that they should not have been equal to the tremendous demands made upon them in the fighting in France, that they should have failed in the Argonne as combat troops and were withdrawn from the section they were ordered to hold.
So he went on to the extent of a column, first admitting, then denying the value of the Negro as a fighting factor, until it was hard to tell exactly what he intended to say. It was a case of falsehood struggling to overcome fact, but the Spartanburg editor seemed to be unable to entirely suppress the truth, despite his strong inclination to do so. Let him take heart from the letter of the Congressman above quoted and learn to be generous as well as just "in bestowing an appropriate honor."
MONBY OR REFINEMENT
The Charlotte (N. C.) Observer wants the Woman's Club of that city to tackle the servant problem, as it says the difficulty of getting competent help in the kitchens and dining rooms is becoming insurmountable. The cause of this scarcity of domestic help is laid to war conditions and the opening of other avenues of legitimate employment, where, as the Observer admits, "Conditions are better. restrictions are not so severe and reactions are not so rigid." But, the argument advanced is somewhat peculiar:
"It is not only a hardship on the householders themselves, but it is very unfortunate for the colored women that they should become extranged from the homes of the white people. Even though they might have to work in them for a little less than they can command elsewhere, the conditions in the average run of these homes where they work make for a better degree of living among the colored people. They saturate a lot of the refinement that exists in the homes of the white people. The comradeship there is substantially beneficial to them, to their moral betterment. They can afford to work for less money in order to get the better influences if they are right-minded enough to appreciate a proper sense of values."
How far the alleged "Moral betterment" and "Better influences" can compensate for the admitted drawbacks of domestic service is a matter for the interested parties to decide.
VIEWS and REVIEWS
is no doubt that the colored people, especially Appi, will read the following despatch with France. June 20.—President Wilson, it was learnt appoint a commission to investigate reporter will consist of seven members, headed by I. Ambassador to Turkey. Prints have been brought to the attention that Paris to show that the Poles, although self-determination in the name of democracies, have been persecuting the Jews with Poland. Premier Paderewski went to and denied these charges. He even requested someone to make a thorough investigation. A patch indicates that the President has short pogroms that he will send a companion for the purpose of aiding the Jews or the Polish nation of the charges.
President has determined to make this justice and humanity for the Jews of Polish suppose, if he is consistent, that on his best in American pogroms and appoints the lynching and burning alive of Amhobs within American borders?
President Wilson is not always consist
There is no doubt that the colored people, especially of Georgia and Mississippi, will read the following despatch with a great deal of interest:
Paris, France, June 20.—President Wilson, it was learned to-day, has decided to appoint a commission to investigate reported pogroms in Poland. It will consist of seven members, headed by Henry Morgenthan, former ambassador to Turkey.
Statements have been brought to the attention of the Peace Conference at Paris to show that the Poles, although claiming for themselves self-determination in the name of democracy, liberty, humanity, etc., have been persecuting the Jews within the borders of the New Poland. Premier Paderewski went to Paris a short while ago and denied these charges. He even requested President Wilson to send someone to make a thorough investigation.
This despatch indicates that the President has been so moved by these reportd pogroms that he will send a commission to investigate, either for the purpose of aiding the Jews or for the purpose of clearing the Polish nation of the charges.
Since the President has determined to make this laudable effort in behalf of justice and humanity for the Jews of Poland, is it not reasonable to suppose, if he is consistent, that on his return he will take an interest in American pogroms and appoint a commission to investigate the lynching and burning alive of American citizens by American mobs within American borders?
But then, President Wilson is not always consistent.
HEALTH OF COLORED-TROOPS
From editorial comment in the Local Association (Chicago, Mass.) institutionally a "better physician." This conclusion has been read army made by Lieutenant-G. These two officers undertook admissions to sick report in colored troops; so the number valid deductions.
After pointing out where resistance to disease than the white Medical Association goes on to the Literary Digest of June 14:
Love and Davenport point the skin not only on the surface, infolded to form the lining of the resistant to microorganisms in skin seems to be relatively a definite, the nervous systems of the 'instability' than those of white thema, there are few instances half as much alcoholism in color orders. are also less common Davenport describe the uninfected nerves, has better gyes, and meta the uninfected colored troops she better physiological machines than
Shortly after the figures for published in this column some standard for admission to the colored men than among white shower of letters of dissent from country. This was natural; thus all the long held beliefs about the General Crowder's second firm the figures of the first drawn by a wide enough margin to estsally, the percentage for accept colored than for white men. Given in his second report, and confess Now comes the expert analysis be light on the subject.
As we said a year and a half much for the colored man, if no official records of the country a man of the long accepted beliefs about of the American Negro.
Memorial comment in The Journal of the Army (Chicago, May 17) we learn that the "better physiological machine" than the mon has been reached from expert examiner Lieutenant-Colonel Love and Majors undertook an analysis of more than sick report in the army, including more so the numbers were sufficiently large.
Setting out where the colored troops show less than the white troops, The Journal of the Association goes on to say: we quote from an article of June 14:
Davenport point out, on the other hand, that on the surface of the body, but also on the lining of the mouth and nasopharynx, it croorganisms in Negroes than in white men are relatively a degenerate skin in this respect systems of the infested Negroes show than those of white men. Thus there is far fewer instances of psychopathic states, and colohism in colored as in white troops. Nor are also less common among the Negroes. We describe the uninfected Negro, the seems to have the eyes, and metabolizes better. Thus, in my colored troops show themselves to be chemical machines than the white men."
Over the figures for the first draft were columns some statistics showing that admission to the army was generally high among white. These statistics bring out of dissent from experts and laymen was natural; the statistics were so condensed beliefs about the health of colored Negro's second report issued a few months of the first draft, not by such high per cent margin to establish the general truth of stage for acceptance in the army was white men. General Crowder states the report, and confesses that he cannot explain expert analysis by Love and Davenport direct.
Year and a half ago, the war has accompanied man, if no more: it has put into the country a mass of statistics which tested beliefs about the health and physical Negro.
From editorial comment in The Journal of the American Medical Association (Chicago, May 17) we learn that the Negro is constitutionally a "better physiological machine" than the white man. This conclusion has been reached from expert examinations in the army made by Lieutenant-Colonel Love and Major Davenport. These two officers undertook an analysis of more than a half million admissions to sick report in the army, including more than 15,000 colored troops; so the numbers were sufficiently large to warrant valid deductions.
After pointing out where the colored troops showed less resistance to disease than the white troops, The Journal of the American Medical Association goes on to say: we quote from an extract in the Literary Digest of June 14:
Love and Davenport point out, on the other hand, that in general the skin not only on the surface of the body, but also that which is infolded to form the lining of the mouth and nasopharynx, is much more resistant to microorganisms in Negroes than in white men. The white skin seems to be relatively a degenerate skin in this respect. Furthermore, the nervous systems of the uninfected Negroes show fewer cases of 'instability' than those of white men. Thus there is far less neuras-thema, there are fewer instances of psychopathic states, and there is only half as much alcoholism in colored as in white troops. Nutritional disorders are also less common among the Negroes. As Love and Davenport describe the uninfected Negro, he seems to have more stable nerves, has better eyes, and metabolizes better. Thus, in many respects the uninfected colored troops show themselves to be constitutionally better physiological machines than the white men."
Shortly after the figures for the first draft were completed we published in this column some statistics showing that the physical standard for admission to the army was generally higher among colored men than among white. These statistics brought us a shower of letters of dissent from experts and laymen all over the country. This was natural; the statistics were so contradictory to all the long held beliefs about the health of colored people
General Crowder's second report issued a few months ago confirms the figures of the first draft, not by such high percentages, but by a wide enough margin to establish the general truth that, physically, the percentage for acceptance in the army was higher for colored than for white men. General Crowder states this as a fact in his second report, and confesses that he cannot explain the reason. Now comes the expert analysis by Love and Davenport with further light on the subject.
As we said a year and a half ago, the war has accomplished this much for the colored man, if no more: it has put into the permanent, official records of the country a mass of statistics which refute most of the long accepted beliefs about the health and physical condition of the American Negro.
The resignation of Emmett J. Scott as special assistant to the Secretary of War marks the completion of a delicate task, performed with rare tact and fidelity. This is attested by the words of Secretary Baker in accepting the resignation, to take effect June 30. The difficulties of the position were enormous, and it was only through the sympathetic and helpful attitude of the Secretary that Mr. Scott was enabled to render the efficient service to both the nation and the race that he did. As Secretary Baker said in his letter, "The service rendered by colored soldiers and civilians has been conspicuous, and I trust that permanent value will accrue to the race, as well as to the country generally, from this great experience."
Those soldiers who have allowed their war risk insurance to lapse for one cause or another will be interested in the ruling made by the Treasury Department that such insurance may be renewed after leaving the service, if application is made within nine months from date

In The Journal of the American Medical Day 17) we learn that the Negro is one biological machine" than the white man reached from expert examinations in Colonel Love and Major Davenport, an analysis of more than a half mill of the army, including more than 15,000 men were sufficiently large to warrant the colored troops showed less resistance to the troops, The Journal of the American so say: we quote from an extract in the report, on the other hand, that in general case of the body, but also that which is the mouth and nasopharynx, is much more Negro than in white men. The white generate skin in this respect. Furthermore, the uninfected Negroes show fewer white men. Thus there is far less neuritis of psychopathic states, and there is only red as in white troops. Nutritional disunion among the Negroes. As Love and Negro, he seems to have more stable, oblizes better. Thus, in many respects, how themselves to be constitutionally in the white men."
For the first draft were completed with the statistics showing that the physical army was generally higher among white. These statistics brought us from experts and laymen all over the statistics were so contradictory to the health of colored people. The report issued a few months ago concludes, not by such high percentages, but establish the general truth that, physical distance in the army was higher for general Crowder states this as a fact that he cannot explain the reason by Love and Davenport with further ago, the war has accomplished this more: it has put into the permanent mass of statistics which refute most but the health and physical condition
of the first lapse in payment. If the policyholder is unable to keep up the full amount of the original policy, he may have part of it reinstated from $1,000 up. Discharged service men who are interested in this matter should write to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C.
In setting aside June 22 as National Thrift Sunday, the United States Government made a special appeal to the pastors of all Negro denominations to disseminate among their people the gospel of true thrift—saving first and steadily, spending wisely and investing safely in War-Savings and Thrift stamps. The Savings Division of the Treasury Department, which is promoting thrift and avoidance of waste in every nook and corner of the country, urged that pastors preach special sermons on the subject of "Thrift," on that day. The pastors of the race may safely be viled upon to do their full duty in the premises."
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEGRO
Several months ago a forecast was made that the tide of emigration of alien laborers from the United States would set in and keep up after the close of the war. Immediately after the signing of the armistice large numbers of aliens began to sail from New York and other ports for their native lands in Europe; but it could not be said definitely whether this was a sudden and temporary spurt or the beginning of a steady movement.
It now seems that all doubt in the matter is set aside by a thorough investigation which has just been completed by Mr. Ethelbert Stewart, an expert connected with the Labor Department. He gives out as a conservative estimate that one million three hundred thousand aliens are planning to leave this country for their homelands and that they will take with them four billion dollars.
An official statement from the Department of Labor says that up to June 1, the investigation covered Chicago, the Indiana steel mill district (South Chicago, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, South Bend, Gary, etc.), Detroit, Pittsburgh, and the surrounding steel district, Johnstown, Pa., Youngstown, O., and Wilkesbarre, Pa., and the surrounding coal mining area. The statement further says that of the Poles covered by the investigation 15.04 per cent. will return home; of the Austro-Hungarians 28.02 per cent.; of the Russians 35.70 per cent.; Croatians 21.75 per cent.; Lithuanians 9.72 per cent.; Rumanians 64.29 per cent.; Italians and Greeks 11 per cent.; Serbs 36.90 per cent.; Slovaks 34.50 per cent.
All indications show that one of the bars that has so long kept the Negro out of his rightful place in American industries is going to be very largely removed. This removal began with the outbreak of the war, when so many aliens responded to the call to the colors in their native lands. And together with this first homeward movement of alien workers in this country came the first chance the American Negro had in the big industrial fields of his own country. Now these aliens themselves are voluntarily going to keep up the homeward movement. On top of this, the American Federation of Labor is urging upon Congress the enactment of laws that would prohibit immigration for two years and restrict it thereafter; so there is a probability that the aliens who are leaving, even if they change their minds soon after and wish to return, will not be allowed to enter the country again during a limited period, and will find it more or less difficult to do so after that period.
It is difficult to estimate the influence and effect which these facts may have on the economic status of the colored people in the United States. Conditions following the outbreak of the war gave a half million or so of our people the chance to get away from the South. The whites of that section have been hoping and expecting that post-war conditions would force the majority of these people to come back to the South; but present tendencies ought not only enable that half million or so to stay out of the South but ought to open opportunities for another half million or more to leave.
It is hardly necessary to point out that a million or a million and a half Negro workers in the big industries of the North and recognized as an integral part of northern labor would prove a most powerful lever for raising the status of the whole race. There would be not only the advancement economically, but the great educational and political advantages that would follow. And besides this, there would be the irresistible pressure brought to bear to force better conditions in the South.
The question arises: Is the Negro prepared to take full advantage of the opportunities that this revolution in the industrial world of the country offers him? If he is, a long step toward the solution of his problem is about to be taken.
COLLEGE Y. M. C. A. PLANS
FOR AFTER WAR WORK
King's Mountain, N. C.-Under the shadow of venerable old Crowder's Mountain at Lincoln Academy, there convened on Friday, June 6, the seventh annual Negro Student Y. M. C. A. Conference. Following a great world war, to which the Negro colleges gave of their best, both in enlisted and commissioned personnel, this conference has for its aim the preparation of the college Y. M. C. A. to meet the needs of this new day. The hundreds of fine fellows who went out to serve their country, and who for months have either been killing or training to kill, must be received back into the colleges by an organization that has seen a vision of the problems created by the conditions of war and is ready to work them out in the light of Christian ideals.
For the purpose of furnishing leader ship in this work 110 delegates representing 43 schools, 14 states, and about fifteen thousand men students, are in attendance upon the conference and are following a strenuous daily program of serious work, including Bible study, Association Methods, and S-Social Service. The administration and organization of the school is under such men as C. H. Tobias, W. C. Craver, Dr. E. Albert of Howard University, the Rev. Chas. D. Hubert of Morehouse College, and Prof. J. W. Barego of Union University. Lectures and talks are delivered on objects embracing Association history. The Power of Clean Living. The Fundamental Principles of Christianity, and messages concerning the choice of a life work. For this purpose a conference leaders have secured Dr. Richard C. Morse, International Y. M. C. A. New York City; C. L. Harris, State Y. M. C. A. Secretary, Kentucky; the Rev. Frank K. Sanders, Board of Missionary Preparation, New York City; Emmet J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, and Dr. J. E. Moorland, Senior Secretary.
Looking forward to the new after war program of athletics in our colleges by which the idea of mass' play the value of which was taught the country by its training camp experience, is to be introduced into our college life, the recreational period in the afternoon is one of the most important periods of the day. Games of all kinds are organized and hiking parties are taken regularly up the nearby peaks. The students of the conference voted to present a loving cup to Dr. Richard C. Morse in recognition of his fifty years of service to the Young Men Christian Association and of his guineame friendship for the Colored Men's Department.
WAGE EARNERS LOYAL
TO THEIR EMPLOYERS
S. W. Brandel, superintendent of employment, Gurney Ball Bearing Company, Jamestown, N. Y., tells Jesse O. Thomas, State supervisor of Negro economics, that Negro employees are more loyal than white employees. A few days ago a general strike was called in Jamestown and the employers were very anxious to baww what percentage of their employees would join the strike. The following letter addressed to A. G. Davis of the company put at rest any anxiety in so far as the Negro wage earners were concerned: "We, the colored employees of the Gurney Ball Bearing Company wish to indorse—very highly—your great talk of last evening, and wish to say further that we must contradict your statement when, you say you are no speaker. We know of no greater speaker than he who makes himself clearly understood in presenting facts, as you have.
"We the undersigned, voice the sentiment of the colored employees of this company we say, that during the two years we have been here, the company stood by us. Now and through the times come, so long as our services are needed and wanted, we shall stand by the company." This was signed by W. L. Jones, I. Q. Elias, W. L. Washington, John L. Lattimore, Edwin B. Lattimore.
BRAINS AND HEART
BRIAR OF THE NEW YORK ACE!
Enclosed please find two dollars in payment for your valuable paper for another year. My subscription ran out while I was from home, but my paper came just the same. Many thanks.
The ACE is the prize of all the Negro journals, and it has no comparison among the white journals, because they are espousing a different use or under different environment. No visitor is more welcome or more gladly received in my home than THE ACE. I wish a copy could visit every reading Negro home weekly and the good sense advice given be practiced by the readers. There would be a solid phalanx for the Democracy our President said the war was making the world safe for. But there are so many would be leaders lead up through envy, jealousy or selfish gain. it is hard for one to distinguish which is the right to follow. We have many with brains, but few with brains and heart. The ACE has both brain and heart, and its reason is reasonable. It is the Golden Rule applied. May God bless THE ACE long with a pearl heart and sound brain to continue to advocate the Negro's cause until the victory it won! Long live THE ACE!
NEW GUILLANE, La. In an address delivered before a meeting of the Cottonseed, Crushers and Lumber Manufacturers, held at Grassweed Hotel June 18, Charles Banks of Mound Baye, Miss, spoke on "Racial Adjustment in America." The meeting was called by Jack C. Wilson, secretary of the Mississippi Welfare League, while H. H. A. Stone, a member of the Mississippi Legislature, presided. Mr. Banks' address was in part as follows.
In my opinion, one of the most paths towards satisfactory and correct adjustment lies along a thorough understanding and appreciation of the young viewpoint. Evils cannot be eradicated. Erroreous ideas, unfounded suspensions and unnecessary fears lie at the bottom of many of our difficulties, and an only be reached and adjusted when we understand the viewpoint of the others. And when an opportunity such as this and many others now going on throughout the South is offered where we can reason together, the results are bound to be beneficial and helpful.
"It is a common saying among Southern white men that they know the Negro. In my opinion, such a statement is subject to much limitation, however honestly and advisely made, And without going into details, having had to deal and come in contact with whites, North and South, from an ordinary laborer to captains of industry, prelates and persons in the highest public positions in the land, I have had an opportunity to form some opinion of their ideas as to the Negro, and knowing my own people as I do, I am firmly convinced that each, the Negro and the white man, in a large degree, have some ungrounded fears that a proper understanding and appreciation of each other's viewpoint will go a long way in adjustment.
There is less fertility for growth and development of Bollevivism, I. W. W. or industrial disturbance among us, and, at the same time, as well, if not better, field for trug Americam than any foreign laboring element that can be gotten, and it stands Americam, particularly the South, well inland to take the highest and best advantage of the situation. The Negroes are, can and will be the mainstay of your industrial fabric. The experience through which this country has just passed has enlarged its sense of what is possible, and at the same time, quickened its sense of what is just and right.
"That this idea is world wide is shown by a statement by Sir Douglas Hake, England's great field marshal at St. Andrew's University recently: The solution of this problem, meaning the Asiatic and, particularly, that of India is part of the mission of the British Empire in the world. In a word, the tremendous problem is only capable of solution by giving to all races, however insignificant, what we proudly regard as British freedom and justice, thereby in the course of many years levelling them up to our own standards of life.
"Reconstruction must give shape and satisfaction to the strong feeling in directions among all peoples, widely differing in opinions and outlooks, that national life may be built on an enduring foundation and in conformity with the faith inscribed on our banner. Of course, we have the radicals; we have them in both races, and they more less serve a purpose. They talk loudly and oftener and, consequently, are more beard, but I doubt whether each race knows to what extent there is extant silent, constructive, fair-minded force anxious, and each in his own way, working and praying for a sane, rightful and just adjustment of America's racial problem.
The debasing acts of the mob are dealt with too leniently and indifferently by one element, and heralded and accented in a manner of no constructive good by another. Whatever may be the provision of statute, be it State or Federal, I am of the opinion that healthy public sentiment must be built up for the maintenance of law and order, and it is largely upon such men as you, the leaders of the white race in this section, the makers and executors of the law as well as the makers and developers of public opinion and sentiment, that burden rests for the upholding and maintenance of the law, and the Nerds subjugate to the very nature things, he has a right to ask the way, hands, or, in other words, he has responsibility with you, in the request, we ask to indulge in loyality in infractions of the law on part, and with judge, jury and sheriff your hands, there should be no excuse for fear of a miscarriage of justice.
"Referring again to the matter building up the right kind of public sentiment and sheer understanding of viewpoints, it has occurred to me that a strong secular publication, edited by a person of sufficient breadth, vision and ability of my race, reaching the home of the whites in a larger degree than any now read by you, is possible great help towards the ends indicate
"As stated in the outset of the dress, the time allotted permits little more than outlines of what is in mind, but I trust what I will be taken in the spirit and serve to help in arriving on mon basis in adjusting one of most intricate problems, and who have so earnestly set about proper solution is not only well us, but yourselves, your country and your God, and you come within the scope of the Master's beneficence we He said: "As much as you have done unto the least of these, you have done unto Me."

THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS
DISTINGUISHED VIOLINIST GIVES RECITAL
BY HARRY T. BURLEIGH.
When an artist of international reputation, of superior musical power, of masterful technical ability, condescends, from purely magnanimous motives, and at the cost of time, convenience and other professional work, to give a concert for the benefit of the Music School Settlement, it is not only an encouraging privilege for all music lovers but also an epoch-marking event.
Maud Powell who, with the distinguished pianist, Axel Skjerne, appeared at Metropolitan Baptist Church Thursday evening, June 19, is the greatest woman violinist in the world, and the people of Harlem should feel deeply grateful for so generous and educational a demonstration of her superb art.
The following program was rendered:
1. DeBeriot.....Allegro from Concerto
2. Lekeu...Two movements from Sonata in G major
(Madame Powell and Mr. Skjerne)
Coloridge-Taylor.....(a) Deep River Chopin-Macmillan
(b) Maiden's Wish
3. Poldini-Hartmann.....(c) Waltzing Doll Palmgren-Powell.....(d) Maynight Thomas-Sarasate
(e) Gavotte (from "Mignon")
PIANO SOLO
Cyril Scott...(a) Pickaninny Dance
4. Mason...(b) Crystal Spring
Grieg...(c) Waltres
J. Rosamond Johnson (new)
(a) Nobody Knows the Trouble I See
5. Bazini...(b) Dance of Impa
Powell...(c) American Folk Songs
ENCORDS

Dworak...Humoresque
A Strathspey (new)
Violinists, pianists, singers, poets,
actors, students of music, painting,

of literary inclination and artistic

the conscientious and efficient
executants of all the odd jobs that
fall to the lot of our various workers,
to all these Maud Powell had
something to say—something worth
while and inspirational.
The Music School Settlement is to be congratulated for having secured so great a musical treat for the people, and should feel encouraged to hope that other eminent artists may follow the example so beneficently set by Maud Powell, and thus give the colored people the inspiration of hearing and seeing them on special occasions.

ACTOR PASSES AWAY
The funeral of Tom Brown, for the past three years a member of the Lafayette Players and one of the best known and talented colored performers in the theatrical profession, who died Friday, June 20 of cancer of the stomach, on Wednesday of Granville Island, the undertaking parlor of Granville Q. Paris, 116 West 131st street. The remains were interred in Cypress Hilla Cemetery.
The services held at the undertaking establishment were attended by members of the theatrical profession and friends. The Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, officiated. Tom Brown never reached the heights of stardom in the theatrical world, but he was one of the race's most representative actors. He possessed a technical knowledge of the theatricals surpassed by no other Negro, was versatile and essentially a legitimate actor. The deceased was born in Indianapolis June 14, 1859, and when 20 years old he attracted attention in the show "Harry's First Service" as an end man with McCabe and Young, strelts, and Ben Hun, in speaking of the young minstrel man to Jesse A. Shipp, declared that "Brown is doing everything in the show that anybody else can.
About the time of the Chicago World's Fair Tom Brown was a member of Richard and Pringle's Minstrels, then the largest colored minstrel troup on the road. He was one of the big features, and one of his specialties was that of doing a Chinaman under cork. When Jesse A. Shipp first saw him in Chicago in the Chinese turn he bought him to complete Chinese costume, the first Tom Brown costume. About 1895, Tom Brown went into vaudeville and did a single turn in the Keith houses, appearing in his Chinese act.
In 1897, he was one of the organizers of the company which appeared in "A Trip to Coontown," with Bob Cole, Billy Johnson, Jesse A. Shipp, the Freeman Sisters and others well known in the theatrical profession. After severing his connection with the company Tom Brown returned to vaudeville. He decided to form a team with Siren Nevro, but had difficulty convincing vaudeville managers that the public would stand for a Negro woman doing a Chinese part. For several months Miss Nevro was carried around in the act and all her expenses borne by her partner, who finally won over the managers to his way of thinking and salaries were then forthcoming for two. Brown and Nevro were given the best booking in vaudeville and made several trips to Europe, appearing with much success in London, Paris and at the Winter Garden in Berlin. On one trip they remained away two years.
In 1906, the team returned to the United States and joined "The Shoofy Regiment," put out by Cole and Johnson. They did not remain any length of time with the show and during the middle of 1906-7 joined Ernest Hogan's Rufus Rastus Company. The last big musical show in which Brown and Nevarro were seen was "Mr. Lode of Koal," in which Bert Williams was the star.
Returning to vaudeville, Brown and Nevarro met with success until Tom Brown had a disagreement at Hamerstein's Victoria Theatre over going on first. After this controversy he experienced much difficulty in getting booking over the big time and the team were with him.
While in Europe Tom Brown and J. Rosamond Johnson formed a vaudeville act, and in the early part of 1914 came to the United States. The act made only a few appearances on this side of the water and disbanded. Tom Brown going to Chicago, where he was associated with the late. Billy Johnson.
Shortly after the Lafayette Players were organized Tom Brown came to New York and was made one of the organisation's most valuable members. He played a prominent part in many of the dramatic successes registered at this popular playhouse, and his versatility never was shown to better advantage.
Several weeks ago the deceased went to Chicago in ill health. He had been ailing for more than a year, but his condition became more serious. Last Friday he passed away at 3417 Prairie avenue, and to his attending physicians and those at his bedside his demise was not a surprise.
The deceased was a Mason and a charter member of The Frogs. He is survived by three sisters—Miss Clara Brown of New York, a sister who resided in Detroit and another in Omaha.
ENTERTAINMENT BY MRS. NORMANTS-PUPILS
An enjoyable musicette was given by the pupils of Mrs. Jeannette Latimer Norman last Friday evening at Jefferson Hall, Flushing, L. I. The program consisted of piano solos, duets and songs by both senior and junior pupils. Of the songs, "The Owl and the Pussy Cat," rendered by the older girls, and "Bedtime's Drowny Boat," given by six little tots nightwagings and carrying candles in their hands, were especially well received. The playing of the children was excellent, both in technic and expression.
Prizes were awarded at the closing of the program: The senior prize was won by Miss Blanche Smith and the junior prize by Marie Guttilla, while a special prize was given to Dorothy Hudnell for completing one year's work in six months.
The pupils taking part were: Marie Guttilla, Helen Guttilla, Dorothy Hudnell, Gertrude Montagner, Lilian Poole.
