In commenting on the new work undertaken by the Young Women's Christian Association, Miss Eva G Bowles, executive of the colored world of the National Board, made the following statement to a representative of Tutt Motz:
"For many years the National Board has felt that the biggest problem among colored girls was in rural communities, but because of its vastness the Association has not been able to make the proper approach. Miss Richmond has already conducted demonstrations in Burlington County, N. J., and Miss Beulah Simpson of South Carolina, who knows the colored girl of the rural district, has been installed as rural worker.
"Many clubs have been organized, a center established in Burlington and an automobile purhased by the War Work Council for workers to go from town to town. A camp has been provided for girls residing in the country and during the summer each will be permitted to spend several days at a time in recreation."
Miss Bowles says there is a big opening for young women who know the country to train for this kind of work.
SOUTHERN BISHOP
AGAINST LYNCHING
(Special to THE NEW YORK ANN)
Courteney, O.-At the meeting of Executive Committee of the Federal Council of Churches Bishop John M. Moore of the Southern Methodist Church spoke forcibly in favor of government control of mob violence. Other Southern members strongly supported him and the following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That the Federal Council memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact a federal law for the suppression of lynching, and in every way use its authority to remove from American society this disgraceful civil."
WESTERN EDUCATOR DEAD.
(Special to the New York Times)
Columbus, Ohio.—The first college graduate of Oberlin, Benedictine College, Prof. John H. Jackson who died recently aged 65 years. He was born in Lexington and for several years was a principal in the public schools of that city. In 1880 he was elected delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention and was the first member of his race elected from Kentucky. He was one of the famous "2006" who voted for General Grant at Chicago. Later he was principal of the Lincoln High school in Kansas City, Mo., and filled several municipal offices. He served successfully as President of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, for 11 years, and President of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., which he headed for three years.

OUR OWN SUBJECT RACE.
From New York World.
One of the most brutal forms of oppression is the punishment of a whole race for the crimes of individuals. For many years this has been and still is the practice in American States that do not recognize the citizenship of the Negro. To accuse a black man is to condemn him to torture and death, and resentment on the part of kindred is held to justify massacres that are complacently dignified as race wars.
What we see now in Washington is more properly to be thus classified from any other disturbance that we have had, and there is a reason for it worthy of serious consideration. Negroes are taking part in the hostilities. If they are assaulted or shot, they are assaulting and shooting in return.
Deplorable, as all this lawlessness is, the response of the black man to the white man was bound to come some time. The Negro has long been free. He has acquired some education and property. He has made a place for himself in industry. The laws under which he lives guarantee him quality. He escapes no responsibility that rests upon the white man. Yet two sections of the Union, when rioting is allowed, is stripped of every and driver other into hiding or violence.
Is there anybody at the South or elsewhere who machines that the compulsory service of 360,000 Negroes in the United States Army, in many cases so creditably as to win high commendation has had no influence on them or the mass of their people at home? Who is foolish enough assume that with 239,000 colored men in uniform from the Southern States, as against 570,000 white men, the blacks whose manhood and patriotism are thus recognized and tested are forever to be flagged, lynched, burned the stake or chased into concealment whenever Caucasian desperadoes are moved to engage in these infamous pastimes?
We grieve over the hardships of many subject people a long way off and on occasion manifest something resembling indignation, but in all the world there is hardly a population so God-forsaken and law-forsaken as our own blacks. Whether it is agreeable or not, therefore, the Washington outbreak is a warning to all Americans that their race wars hereafter are going to be race wars. The Negro citizen is going to have his day in court. It ought not to be necessary for him to fight for it.
Leaves Estate to His Colored Housekeeper in 7-Word Will
A seven-word will made by the late Alexander W. Waters, which reads: "All I have have belongs to Zulma," promises to be the basis of international legal contest with the relatives of the deceased on one side and Miss Zulma Powell, colored, 35 years old, and employed for purposes Waters' housekeeper, on the other. Alexander W. Waters was a white man of the city. He died suddenly in his man, 50 years old, who resided his office, 61 Broadway, Manhattan, July 14. Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, near 5, and his will was filed for probate in his avenue, in one of the best see- the Surrogate's Court, Brooklyn, last week. The estate is valued at more
AGE EDITOR ASKS FOR CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY
The following telegram, calling for a professional investigation into the attack of innocent colored men, women and children in the Capital of the United States, has been sent to Senators Calder and Frelinghuysen by Fred R. Moore, editor of THE AGE:
A Congressional investigation should be started at once into the rioting of soldiers, sailors and marines. If soldiers, sailors and marines, sworn to uphold the law, are permitted to assault innocent citizens in the Nation's Capital without one word of communication on the part of the United States Government, similar outbreaks will most likely follow in other sections. Negress feel that if they cannot secure the proper protection under the law their only recourse is by protecting themselves, which became necessary in Washington. The failure of Congress to put down mob violence is largely responsible for the utter contempt shown for law and order by those in uniform.

of the city. He died suddenly in his home, 61 Broadway, Manhattan, July 14, and his will was filed for probate in the Surrogate's Court, Brooklyn, last week. The estate is valued at more than $11,000.
When Waters signed the will it was 9:26 in the morning in his office. He was sitting at his desk and had spoken of feeling ill. He took a large sheet of paper, on the back of which he wrote the seven-word instrument bequeathing his estate to his colored housekeeper. Then two men in the office were called to witness it. A few minutes later Waters died with the will lying on the desk before him.
Miss Powell, who is in possession of the Waters home, has made it perfectly clear that she will see to it that the provisions of the will are carried out. "Mr. Waters was sick for several years; I stayed up night and day, nursed him and he told me that when he died I could have all his things, an I intend to keep them," she told reporters the day the will was filed for probate.
Does Not Intend to be Intimidated
"He made a will some time ago, but they tore it up," she continued. "He told me a couple of days before he died that he wanted me to have all his belongings, and that everything in the house was mine. I don't want any of his father's estate. I know I won't get it, because Mr. Waters told me that his father left his estate to his wife and their children, and if any of them died that share was to be divided among the others. So I don't expect anything from that estate. But I do expect to keep what I worked damned hard for. I'll fight 'em if they try to take what Mr. Waters said was mine."
According to Edward J. Reilly, Miss Powell's attorney, the latter has acted as Waters' housekeeper and nurse since she was nineteen years old, and that when Waters moved from Prospect Place to Lincoln Place she went with him.
Mrs. Elona de Angelis Waiters, 285 Empire Boulevard, Brooklyn, has taken out letters of administration for her son's estate, and says that to her it seemed that Waters was under the influence of his housekeeper and could not shake it off. Her contention is that the will is invalid.
Miss Powell is described as comely, well educated and dresses well.
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Mob Innocent Colored Men and Women who are Forced to Retaliate.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—For the past six weeks the colored citizens of the District of Columbia have been terrorized by the "cracker" class which has invaded the city throughout the present administration, and this reign of terror reached boiling point last Saturday evening after Major Raymond, W: Pullman, Chief of the Police Department, because of an alleged assault upon a white woman; had advised his officers to question all colored men seen on the streets after dark; that unless they could give a satisfactory account of themselves they should be locked up.
This order was taken advantage of by lawless soldiers and sailors stationed in and about the city, and they went through the Southwest section shooting and beating innocent colored people on the streets and attacking them in their homes.
Several hundred soldiers and marines joined in a search for a colored man suspected of attacking Mrs. Elsie Steepnick, wife of an employee of the Naval Aviation Bureau. Unable to find him they made their way to the center of the city where they vented their anger on any Negro they happened to meet.
It was not until the emergency ambulance had carried off several of their victims that the police interfered.
ington Monday decided to take the law in their own hands and protect themselves. This they did.
Girl Kills Detective.
Harry Wilson, a detective, was shot and killed at Ball's Alley, between Second and Third streets, by Carry Minor Johnson, a seventeen-year-old colored girl, who was guarding her home. Resenting the intrusion of Wilson into her home, the girl shot the detective in the stomach.
The most sanguinary fight Monday occurred on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the White House and Treasury, where a marine was shot and fatally stabbed.
"INTOLERABLE" - BAKER
"It is intolerable that soldiers should engage in race riots or other disturbances. It so happens that there are only a few soldiers in the vicinity of Washington. There is a considerable number of discharged men, many of them still in uniform, but, of course, the War Department has no jurisdiction or control over them." — SECRETARY BAKER.
TO PUNISH, SAILORS.
"Sailors and marines have no business taking the law into their own hands. When sailors or marines are requested by the civil
These assaults on Negroes were repeated Sunday night when Negroes were dragged from street cars and other vehicles between the Capitol and the Treasury Building. One group chased a Negro near the White House.
The rioters operated in the heart of the business district and running down every colored person they could find.
Five Negroes were attacked and beaten by marines and soldiers by 12.20 o'clock Sunday night. One was in front of the Raleigh Hotel. An ambulance was close by and rushed him to the hospital. A few moments later another Negro was found in front of the Washington Post Building and knocked down. It was necessary to take him also to the hospital.
At the same time two marines leaped on a street car and began beating the one colored man they found. Another group of soldiers ran a Negro down by the Hotel Washington and felled him with a blow. A policeman is said to have seen the action without attempting to make an arrest.
A colored man was forced to get off a street car in front of the White House soon thereafter.
About 12.25 a. m. a soldier routed a Negro in front of the Treasury building. The colored man was felled by a blow from a stone held in a handkerchief by the soldier and was carried to the hospital.
Two or More Sailors Attack One Negro.
In each and every instance one colored man was attacked by two or more sailors or soldiers.
The Knights of Columbus Hut on Pennsylvania avenue, which is being used as a reading room and rest room for soldiers and sailors, was used as the headquarters for the mob after going on program for the evening. They visited different sections of the city with guns and sticks, pulling men off the street cars and beating and shooting them, and leaving them on the street, many of them in an unconscious condition.
The policemen on the streets admitted that they were helpless to quell the rioters.
After midnight Sunday the mob moved up town reaching 7th and Florida avenue about 2 a.m., where they met their Waterloo. The young men in and around that section were just as courageous as they were a few weeks ago when they handled roughly a policeman who insisted upon insulting colored man around that corner.

Girl Kills Detective.
Harry Wilson, a detective, was shot and killed at Ball's Alley, between Second and Third streets, by Carry Minor Johnson, a seventeen-year-old colored girl, who was guarding her home. Resenting the intrusion of Wilson into her home, the girl shot the detective in the stomach.
The most sanguinary fight Monday occurred on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the White House and Treasury, where a marine was shot and fatally stabbed.
Orders issued by the War Department Monday restored to duty the prompt guard, which was removed from the streets June 15 as a part of the demobilization process of the army.
Reports to the police during the day were that Negroes were buying firearms in large numbers from pawnbrokers and other dealers in the city. Police officials requested dealers to refuse to sell firearms to any one during the next few days. They say the dealers are conforming with the request. There is no law in the district to prevent the sale of firearms to any one.
Petition to Commissioners.
Every effort is being made by colored citizens to put down mob violence. Among the many committees calling on the commissioners were representatives of the United Civic Alliance League, consisting of Dr. J. J. Porter, president; Henry E. Baker, secretary; J. E. Wiseman, W. W. Choran, W. H. Lewis, F. L. A. Bennett, H. D. Woods and Z. F. Ransom, who presented the following letter:
We, the undersigned, represent the officers and members of the United Civic Alliance of the District of Columbia, an organization of the various Citizens' Associations of Washington respectfully represent to your honorable body that the exhibitions of mob sport occurring on the public streets of our city during Saturday night and Sunday night, the 19th and 20th institutes, and directed wholly against the members of the colored race create a condition in our community that openly defies the law, thus managing the power and security of our lives and property. We, therefore, petition your honorable body to take every possible precaution within the law to prevent the repletion of this outrageous outbreak, and to protect the lives and property of those citizens who have been made the unfortunate victims of this unlawful condition.
We are not unmindful of the fact that the Superintendent of Police is said to have acted quickly and to some extent effectively to quell the disturbances in the Southwest section on Saturday night and that the guardians of the law generally were on alert to repress disorder and maintain peace, but the fact that the same kind of disturbance was repeated within less than twenty-four hours and directed by the same class of citizens against non-offending colored citizens proves the existence of a sentiment which, if not repressed might easily breed trouble of a still more serious character; and who of us can foresee the end of such a dilemma?

There is a considerable number of discharged men, many of them still in uniform, but, of course, the War Department has no jurisdiction or control over them." — SECRETARY DANIELS.
TO PUNISH, SAILORS.
"Sailors and marines have no business taking the law into their own hands. When sailors or marines are requested by the civil authorities to assist in the maintenance of order they have the authority to do so and not before. Any men who participated in the disturbances will be punished." — SECRETARY DANIELS.
RUFFIANS CONDEMNED.
"The actions of the men who attacked innocent Negroes cannot be too strongly condemned, and it is the duty of every citizen to express his support of law and order and by refraining from any inciting conversation or the repetition of inciting rumors and tales." — LOUIS BROWNLOW. Commander of the District of Columbia.
EXTRA! DAILY PRESS INCITES RIOTS, SAYS PULLMAN
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Major Pullman, head of the police here, stated to a delegation of Negroes, of which James W. Johnson of THE AGE: was a member, that only four cases of assault had come to his notice, that the first woman assaulted was a colored school teacher. Three of these cases are charged to one man. Major Pullman stated that sensational accounts in the Washington dailies incited the riots and that the soldiers and sailors were first aggressors.
CAPTAIN BOUTTE BACK
Capt. Virgil M. Boutte, formerly of the 365th Infantry, and until a few weeks ago assigned to the Intelligence Section of the A. E. F. with headquarters at Paris, is back in the United States and expects to be mustered out of service by August 1. Captain Boutte is in excellent health and has nothing but praise for the French people. He and his wife, Mrs. Etrah-Rochon Boutte, of the Circle (or Negro Relief, plan to spend several weeks during August out of the city.
Aged Colored Man Tried to Protect Race Girls; Is Lynched
The lynching of a colored man, Berry Washington, 72 years old, for trying to protect two respectable girls of his race from being criminally assaulted by two white men of Milan, Ga., is told in a communication recently received here, which was written by a minister residing in Milan where the lynching occurred. The communication follows:
"I wish to inform you of an outrageous lynching which occurred at Milan, Ga. May 24, 1919, Telfair County. John Williams, sheriff. On May 24, at 1 o'clock at night, John Dandy and Lewis Evans, white, down into the colored people's section of the town and went to the home of a widow, by the name of Emma McCillars, who had two daughters. They knocked, but the occupants refused to open the door, and Dandy shot through the door. The ball went through the organ and the sewing machine. That frightened the girls and they ran out to another old lady's house. Her name was Emma Tisher, and is a widow with two little children. The white men went after these colored girls; the girls ran under the porch and hid. These white men broke down the door and tore up the floor. The old widow got frightened, ran and jumped in the well, and the children screamed for help.
"Berry Washington, colored, seventy-two years old, ran out with his shotgun in his hand. When he got near the hall he met both of the white men. John Dandy, twenty-five years old, with a wife and two children, asked the old man what he came out for. He said: 'To see what was the matter with the women and children', then John Dandy fired at him and said: 'I will kill you old man.' The old man fired and killed him (John Dandy) first. He fell with his pistol in his right hand and a cigarette in the other, and a flask of liquor fell out of his pocket. The other white man ran (Lewis Evans).
Another colored man came out and advised Washington to go uptown and wake the chief of police and give himself up. The policeman's name is Stuckey. He sent Washington to McCrae jail at 2 o'clock on the night of the 24th. He stayed in jail until Saturday night the 25th at 12 o'clock. A mob of seventy-five or one hundred brought him back to Milan. They carried him to the same spot where he shot Dandy and lynched him. He was hanged to a post, his body shot into piece and left hanging there until 2 o'clock Sunday morning. May 26.
"He was lynched because he protected his own women, in his part of the town. White boys came down there late hours of the night and disturbed the peace and happiness of the colored and white people. They ordered every colored person to leave town Saturday night. Poor old men, women, and children left their homes before dark. Not a colored person spent the night in his home Saturday or Sunday night. Up to May 27, this had not been published in any of the Georgia papers, it was so disgraceful. Please publish that a white Baptist minister directed the mob. "Yours for justice and the race."

SPRINGFIELD, MASS
SIRINGFIELD, MASS.-St. John's Church and its institutional activities made another stride last week, when the church closed a real estate deal by purchasing four lots adjoining on the Quincy street side. Each lot has at present a tenement house and each is occupied. The entire group gives 127 feet more of frontage and cost twenty thousand dollars. The Rev. Dr. William N. Dellery and his advisory Committee contemplate remodeling these tenements and one is to be used for an enlarged boys' work, while the others will be rented to colored tenants.
Dr. LeBerry on Sunday morning at St. John's Church diverged a bit from the usual scriptural discourse and took for his subject, "Pastoral Doccouragements." In his half hour discourse, Mr. DeBerry did not spare any, having begun with himself as falling short of the work in many things. He then paid a worthy tribute to the ever ruthful ones of his church. Among the discouragements were the habitual late comers to service.

(Continued from first page.)
mentioned is that the leaders on both occasions were men wearing the naval and military uniform of our Government; men who are under sath to protect the lives and property of the citizens of our country. In it be conceived that the presence of our community is not safe and cannot be made safe in the hands of these men?
We deploy as deeply as any one can, the alleged crimes which appear to be taken as the immediate cause of the lawless outbreaks above mentioned, and we stand ready to do all in our power to abreast and bring to justice the perpetrators of such crimes, but the great body of the members of our race in this community are law-abiding, possessible, unoffending (except through the accident of color), and it is for these people that we protect against the doings of a shop that seeks to wreak an exorcism to exorcimate an enrage against every form of color who happens to be within the field of its action. It is not necessary for us to say that a situation like this might very easily be converted into a two-edged sword. And then what?
We all of us should be quick to do all in our power to prevent such a catastrophe. There should be no occasion in this "Land of the free and home of the brave" to continue, the cry that "this is a white man's country," as was sung yesterday, when Sunday nights for it can easily be shown that neither all the free nor all the brave are white.
The committee of the United Civic Alliance League, was very cordially received by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and assured that everything in their power would be done to prevent a recurrence; that he had been in conference with representatives of both the Army and the Navy, with a view to having the whole matter quieted at once. The Commissioners also said that as a result of Sunday night's disturbance on the part of the soldiers and civilians, that more than seventy-five of the employees of the War and Navy Departments reported for work heavily armed; that the men were disarmed before they were allowed to go to work, and even at that there was trouble. Up to going to press a dozen or more white and colored persons had been killed and hundreds wounded.

A Bible Verse that isn't Clear is a verse lost
All of us understand the easy verses of the Bible, but most everyone has longed for a handy Bible that would explain a difficult verse simply—and right on the same page.
With this Self-Explaining Bible, just consult the lower part of the same page when a verse puzzles you. You'll find difficult verses explained clearly, spiritually, carefully—not a mere shallow word, two, but an Explanation that can be understood.
ATS SELF EXPLAINING BIBLE
Four years of the life of the master of Bible study, Rev. Justin Edwards, D.D., were devoted to this work. He it was who wrote these Explanations for all of the New Testament and for the Old Testament as for the Book of Job. Professor E.P. Barrows then carried on the task. Complete, a mighty work of 1500 pages, it costs you but $3.55 in Cloth.
There are over 10,000 Notes and Explanations of obscure passages. It is meat—yes, it is really spiritual food to many average Bible readers to have these Bible stores unlocked and laid open. It quickly changes the average Bible reader into a practical authority.
Do Ministers, too, use this Bible? Indeed, yes. J. Wilbur Chapman, the noted preacher, held it to be a "marvel of scholarly condensation."
Send $3.75 or send up a postal asking for descriptive folder of showing an actual sample page. Learn what the Self-Explaining Bible will mean to you: a blessed help to the full sweetness of the Bible.

YORK AGE.
A civil war in the Capital of the United States, and within the shadow of the Capitol, is the logical result of undemocratic and intolerable conditions which have become unbearable to colored Americans. Since the Wilson regime, Washington has been filled with white job-hunters from the South who are lynchers at heart and who believe that the colored man has no rights which a white man is bound to respect. Hounded, beaten and killed by soldiers and sailors sworn to protect the law, and with the police in most instances indifferent to their appeals for protection, the colored people of Washington found unnecessary to sort to the law because they themselves.
Washington is unwilling to intervene in the appeals of the Jews and Irish outside of the United State, but so far it has been able to deter the pleadings of its own citizens to put down lynchings and other acts of violence to which the Negro is subjected. The failure of the authorities to enforce the law has created a feeling of distrust and resentment of the port of the American Negroes, which should not be a source of surprise to those who reason from cause to effect. This state of mind is not confined to Washington.
THE SOUTH'S POSITION
THE SOUTH'S POSITION.
The New Orleans Times-Prairie, one of the great daily newspapers of the South, recently underlines to define the position of the dominating element of that section on the race question. It declares to state what the South is prepared to do for the Negro and also that it will not do under any circumstance.
With the authority of the editor of this New Orleans paper to speak for his dictum may be open to question, it may be construed as an index to the more enlightened public opinion of the South and deserving of careful consideration on that account. Let us then see what the better element of the South is willing to concede as the measure of justice due to the Negroes.
The Times-Latvynu admits that the Negroes are entitled to the protection that they ask under the law, by the maintenance of law and order for all. The petition for, higher wages, when the wages of other laborers' go up, for better schools, for better houses and for better accommodations on the railroads are all pronounced deserving of consideration and fulfillment, as improvements to which to the Negroes of the South are entitled.
But first and just as this exponent of South Africa where opinion has endeavoured to be the effect of imminent the New Testament testament on the South, there is a need to make in the context of the will of the people is willing to advocate. It is frankly that the South has not changed its views on the question of race, question and implies that the freedom is not one of the rights that it is willing to console. The old decree of the government is reasserted in the following paragraph:
We believe that the white race must continue in control to maintain civilization and government, but this can and should be with the maintenance and betterment that can be granted the South and will absolve fairness and justice to him.
This doctrine of "white domination" parallels because it is white is all poppycorn. The whites of the South may continue to dominate for a while through the continued practice of force and fraud, but no abiding rule can be based on so false a basis. Control may also be exercised through the more legitimate methods of greater education and more extensive training in the methods of democratic government. But inevitably the Negro will secure his proper participation in all the rights and privileges of citizenship.
We believe if the prevailing sentiment of the South could be crystallized in support of the reforms conceded by the conservative editor of the Times-Picayenne, the other rights inherent, to citizenship denied the Negro would have
to follow. As Abraham Lincoln once said, this country cannot continue to exist half free and half slave. So the south cannot continue to exist as a civilized section, as long as it denies any of the rights and privileges of citizenship to the great majority of its Negro population.
MOR LAW AT CAPITAL
According to the news dispatches in the papers of this week mob law and the lynching spirit have broken loos at the Nation's Capital in their most cowardly and aggrivated form. While these manifestations took the form of brutal assaults upon single Negroes giding on cars or walking the streets, by groups of two or more whites, the spirit of murder and lynching was behind these attacks.
The worst feature of this outbreak of lawlessness was that the leaders and prime movers in the brutal and cowardly work were soldiers, sailors and marines. Men in the service of the United States Government and wearing the government uniform, led attacks upon inoffensive travelers and pedestrians, whose only provocation to attack was the color of their skins. Even Bolshevik Russia could not do worse than this. And the police were charged with witnessing such outrages with out attempting to make an arrest.
Some of the papers offered as the excuse for the outbreak of lawlessness the report of an unusual number of crimes against white women in the outskirts of Washington, in which the perpetrators were alleged to be Negroes. All these women should be pruned and a public punishment will be imposed where they are or shall be
The progress of the authorities at Washington with the respect it has since on the part of the Nation and with the retaliation in kind emphasize the national responsibility for the prowess at this spirit of morality and contention for law and order. It is striking that this demonstration should occur at the capital of the nation, as it shows how far the civil has spread under national toleration, it not encouragement. It will need the most exercise of the national power to prevail over the spirit of amatry and hardness that is threatening the overthrow of the truly national traction of the law.
The warning is so plain that it cannot be overlooked. Will the Nation need it?
READING AND LYNCHING.
READING AND LYNCHING. If there is any one thing that the South needs to perpetuate its lawlessness it is a Society Opposed to Exposing Southern Ignorance. Otherwise it will be difficult to prevent outsiders from seeing its shortsightedness in education as well as its shortenedness in executing the law. Some one is always unwittingly and without malice aforethought, revealing the South's lack of appreciation of the fundamental and essential processes which make for permanent and enduring progress.
Now and then some Southern news paper accuses the editorialists of the United States of championing the rights of the Negro but no such charge can be brought against the Tribune's Advertising department. However this very efficient department recently published a full page advertisement in a trade journal which indirectly throws considerable damaging light upon certain conditions in the South. The clever advertisement referred to is based upon a map of the United States, showing the country divided into thirteen "jobbing zones" as they call it, and then presenting figures describing relative newspaper reading strength in each zone.
Particularly striking are some of the comparisons because they reveal the fundamental weakness of the South's ignorance which is the companion of fawlessness and mob violence. Zone No. 1 includes the New England States and the average shows one newspaper for every three and a half rural families; in Zone 2, which is New York State, the average is one newspaper for every one and a third rural families. Zone 4 includes North and South Carolina and Georgia, and the average is one newspaper for every eleven and a half families in the rural districts and in Zone 6, including Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, the average is a paper for every eleven families. The Tribune counts five persons to the family, so it can be clearly seen that where, only one person in fifty reads a newspaper, there is little opportunity for real progress. The average newspaper-reading rate in

VIEWS and REVIEW'S
MASS. W. S. MASS. COUNTY, NEW YORK
GEORG BRANDES ON THE FUTURE OF EUROPE
Perhaps there is not a man in the world whose forecast of what the future of Europe is to be is worth more than that of Georg Brandes. His judgment is valuable because he is neither a statesman, a diplomat, nor a politician. He is a scholar and a critic who has spent the greater part of his seventy-seven years as an observer of the civilization of Europe. And it is in this character of observer that he has the advantage over the statesmen, diplomats and politicians; for the men who are actively engaged in shaping the course of civilization are too close to it to know exactly what direction it is taking. But Brandes has been in a position to stand off and look at it, in other words, he has been able to see civilization in the perspective.
This great man recently gave out an interview in which he stated his opinions as to what the future of Europe is to be. This interview opened with the following striking utterance: "Europe is entering a period of twilight."
Brandes feels that the war settled nothing. He feels, indeed, that it only set the stage for a greater war of a different kind. When his interviewer asked the question, "What will be the main currents in the new Europe after peace?" he replied,—we quote from the interview:
The chief problem before the new Europe will be the settling of boundaries—not between nations but between classes. The thing that interests basically, vitally, the people of Europe now and will interest them more in the future is not what nation they are going to belong to. Germany or France or Poland, but what class they are going to belong to—the rich or the poor, those who know no want or those who know want only.
Peace, peace, I do not see it. Of course, the power at Versailles will sign some sort of a peace, but peace in the home of the peasants and laboring men of Europe is a thing of the distant, distant future. It is not an era of peace that Europe is entering now, but an era of warfare, social warfare. This social war will surely run through the next fifty years. It may last a century.
And it is because of her experience that I believe people that for us to overcome an era of twilight. He know that when we work we are one unit they will put into execution all that they have been demanding with such special insistence during the period of the war. There will be new stage of labor and new standards of wages. Wages will be pushed higher and higher—wage earners will become participants in profits—and working hours will be made shorter and shorter—there is no doubt that the six-hour working day will be attained.
On the other hand, Brandes sees China with her 500/20/000. He says of China, "She is learning to use our machinery. She is learning our mode of industry. One of these days, the Chairman will begin to use this machinery. But with the white man's machinery the Chairman will continue to combine his ten hours of work daily. He will not ask as white as the white man does. He has no need for such high wages. He has not developed the vital need of pleasure and enjoyment which the white man has developed. When that day comes the civilization of Europe will be in the balance."
Brandeis does not speak as a foe to the working classes nor as a defender of capitalism. He is speaking as a critical observer of facts and tendencies in fact, he seems inclined to think that the rule of Europe under the workers will result in a greater sum of human happiness than resulted under the ancient rule of the aristocracy and the Church or is attained under the present capitalistic system. However, he cannot avoid the conclusion that when the average standard of labor and wages and living has been raised to a certain point Europe will not be able to compete with China and Japan and, perhaps, India in the production of the necessities of life. Then will come a collapse which will issue in his predicted "era of twilight".
Brandeis' opinions are summed up in the statement that the new Socialist Europe may be faced by a war greater and more crucial than any the world has yet seen—"a war for the white man's right to leadership in civilization, a war with the colored races of the world."
THE SHANTUNG GRANT.
A great stir is being made in the grant of Shantung to Japan. It is to the treaty has seized upon an effect of that document.

And likewise we had the he had been convinced that she must be perish, but going in to "make the war Now from China's, point of view
A great stir is being made in the Senate and in the newspapers over the grant of Shantung to Japan. It seems, at least, that the Senate opposition to the treaty has seized upon an effective weapon for fighting the ratification of that document.
Merely fighting the treaty because it is involved in the League of Nations has not struck a popular chord. Somehow, although they may not fully understand it, although they do not know how it will affect the United States on many points, the American people are not opposed to a League of Nations.
But when the opposition senators got hold of the Shantung award to Japan, they got hold of an issue which they can use to great advantage. They can use it to advantage because it is a "moral" issue; and the people of Anglo-Saxon training are never so strong as when they have a "moral" issue to fall back on.
This is because of the natural hypocrisy of the Anglo-Saxon race. It does not and cannot do things because they are logical, wise and right; it must do things because they are "moral." So in the late war we had England entering the fight not because she had to protect her colonies, her wealth and her trade, but going in because of the outrages committed on Belgium. And likewise we had the United States going in not because she had been convinced that she must help England and France or they would perish, but going in to "make the world safe for democracy."
lower than in any other zone described these two zones is from two to ten times in the Trilane's chart.
In defense of the South some of their newspapers and publications would probably claim that the high average of literacy is due to the large number of ignorant Negroes in the rural district to which we would reply "more's the pity," and the blame that such scant attention is given to public education as to present this amazing condition. And besides, most of the lynchings—all of which are conducted by white men—occur in Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana, which leads us to say that "where ignorance is bliss". It is folly to try to sell newspapers.
more dangerous than the crime wave itself, for in it the writer took the ground that "the more schools we have the more dangerous many become as amenaces to society" and "that education does not seem to civilize certain classes or colored people."
Hanging was pronounced "too honorable" for the criminals, and an appeal made for the appointment of "a few competent colored men on the police force." Compulsory work and registration were suggested for all male citizens, together with the use of identification cards.
As Washington has colored police officers and detectives for over half a century, we do not understand the rea-
A CASE OF HYSTERIA

Hanging was pronounced "too honorable" for the criminal, and an appeal made for the appointment of "a few competent colored men on the police force." Compulsory work and registration were suggested for all male citizens, together with the use of identification cards.
As Washington has had colored police officers and detectives for over half a century, we do not understand the reason for this suggestion, while the system of passes advocated smacks too strongly of slavery times. Altogether the panic of the Bee seems to have deranged its mental machinery to an alarming extent and made it an accessory to lynching by suggestion.
against the award of Shantung to Japan, but where any of the Allied powers have a right to protest against it we cannot see.
There was no great "moral" outburst when Germany held this same territory. And, even there is no "moral" outburst against the fact that England holds a Hong Kong and a Shanghai; that France holds a Tonquin, and that Portugal holds a Macao.
We are against this whole business of domination and exploitation; for it is at the root of all the trouble that this old world has recently passed through. And more than that, we do not believe that any nation has any right to dominate the soil and the government of any other people.
But if other nations are going to be allowed to hold and dominate parts of China, we are in favor of seeing Japan do the same thing. Perhaps the sight of Japan engaging in the same game as the other great powers of the world will wake them up to the wickedness of the whole business.
IN THE SHADOW OF THE DOME OF THE CAPITOL.
At last it has come! Colored citizens, innocent and unoffending passersby beaten in the streets of the national capital, in the shadow of the dome of the capitol, at the front gates of the White House.
And then have followed the results: mobs, violence, and death. But who, except somebody asleep, could have expected less? For so long the mad spirit of the mob has gone unchecked by law and authority, that now it defies the law and authority at the very head of the Government.
The press of the United States has been playing with fire for many years. For the sake of what it considers "news" it has not hesitated to inflame the public mind against the Nero. This is exactly what was repeated in Washington. The robbing of several white women on the public streets of the city are charged against colored men; in an alleged case of criminal assault on a white woman a colored man is suspected. The Washington papers flare all of these rumors about, and the expected happens. A mob, headed by men in the uniform of the United States army and navy and Marine Corps, go out to take the law in their hands. Innocent colored citizens are beaten in the streets and hauled off street cars and beaten.
Here we have it tight under the eyes and the nose of the man who has been moved to investiture the mistreatment of the Jews in Poland. Will not that same man now be moved to investigate mob rule, and mob murder here in the United States here at the very seat of government?
The newspapers of the country and the administrators of the government cannot realize where we are drifting; not drifting, but speeding headlong. If the mob is not promptly put down with a firm hand we are going to have with us and bloodhed all over the land. So long as the mob is all worked out in connection with hauling Nearness with urgency, it will continue to work. But the Nearness is not longer so to simply work with the Nearness is not likely to be the same.

A LAND of hope and promise and opportunity to carry laws and people whose lives are colored.
A LAND where radicals and propagandists sit in plain order order socially and opulently just and shameful for the overthrow of this government, as well as other governmental acts are protected and shielded and benefited, while colored men, women and children, loyal, true and law-abiding, are perceived, despised and reviled and denied and largely left without the protection of the law simply because God made them colored as he made one of the flowers of the field.
A LAND where other races may come and light for the freedom of the lands in which they were born and set forth their own inconsistency and myopias and lack of self-restraint by themselves denying to colored Americans that same freedom for which they agitate and by doing their part to grind down the colored man on account of the mere accident of color.
A LAND where freedom is much talked, about and written about, even a new freedom, and where hearts yearn to liberate the millions abroad while for 20 millions at home there is no liberty, little opportunity but segregation, discrimination and "holding down tight under the heel."
A LAND that seeks to redress the wrongs and injustices of other lands while its own citizens, men, women and children are burned at the stake, and lynched and tortured with hot irons, while the sizzling *human flesh* and the deep groans of pain and anguish and bitter suffering that light and excite the frenish thousands who witness such delicuaching spectacles, while those who read and hear of such are silent and passive, even the church of God.
A LAND where it is a person's face is colored character; does not count, reputation does not count, education does not count, morality does not count, but where if a person's face is white, even with a total absence of character, reputation, education and morality that person counts for far more than the other. Is Mighty God as he beholds such conditions of gross injustice, unfairness and hypocrisy, pleased? Does God care? He does! Does America care? It will if it cares for God and Right. America will care if it does not want to be the very symbol of hypocrisy, and shame and gris inconsistency to 12 millions of its loyal colored citizens. Cambridge, Mass.

subscription, for your most valuable
paper. Too much praise cannot be given
you for the general make up of the
edition. Permit me to say that I would
be ungrateful should I not say something
in behalf of the editor who so
boldly and firmly upholds the finer
quality of the Negro race. I believe
that through the medium of THE ACE
and its wonderful editorial, that the
white man's education is going to be
entirely revolutionized.
A MILLION IN MOTORS

The tide is ebbing—the rocks are bare. The darkness of the night fast fades. Look comrades, from the windows of the great castle across the stream, the "White me sign" shines forth. It is the American Federation of Labor that bids us welcome. The rocks of economic ravage which have so often overturned our effort in the industrial sea, have become stepping stones on which we may cross over to the other side. They promise us industrial equality over there, and we hope tolerance and justice, too. We are coming over; Mr. Gompers.—Cleveland (O.) Adocate.

MONDELL WAS SPEAKING, SOLDIERS AND SAILORS OF THE UNITED STATES IN UNIFORM WERE ASSAULTING AND PURSUING UNOFFENDING NEGROES IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CITY BECAUSE A MEMBER OF THEIR RACE HAD COMMITTED A CRIME THE DAY BEFORE. THIS VIOLENCE TOOK PLACE IN THE VERY HEART OF WASHINGTON, ONE RIOTOUS SCENE HAVING BEEN STAGED IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE
By all means, let us insist that the Mexicans preserve order. If we cannot convince them of the advantages of our superior civilization by any other method, let us provide them with moving pictures showing our own highly cultivated mobs in action for twenty-four hours at a time, defying military and civil authority in the very presence of what has been called the most powerful Government on earth. Of course "we don't propose to have disorder, chaos and anarchy" in Mexico. Are we not a shining example to a benighted world of everything that a peaceable and law-abiding Nation should be?
Some peoples more remote appreciate us at our true worth, but there are grounds for the fear that when we are not so humilious the sufferers of I. America at most in rebellion.
THE WASHINGTON RICTS
The initial response is when the men are attacking white women, for far few particulars of these are known, the reports are to be accepted without serve as at least exaggerated. But though there are Negro criminals, there are no reason for a general attack on the innocent. The break is to be attributed to blindness, produce to the feeling entertained many temporarily in Washington the Negroes need to be taught their place that in Washington they are not sufficiently object in their manner.

THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS
Billy King and Company Register Hit at Lafayette Theatre
(BY LESTER A. WALTON)
MONDAY afternoon, Billy King and a company of thirty-odd comedians, singers and dancers, opened at the Lafayette Theatre in a musical comedy entitled "Over the Top," and the assertion can be made without fear of gontradiction that not since the days of J. Leubrle Hill's Darktown Follies has a colored musical attraction aroused such widespread interest in Harlem. Standing room Monday evening.
"Over the Top," which might be aptly referred to as a "warm weather" show, has some semblance of a plot which deals with the return of Captain Austin from overseas and his subsequent mission to the Peace Conference held in Paris, where he is denied admittance and is compelled to return to the United States without accomplishing his purpose.
In the last act several speeches are injected dealing with the treatment or, rather, mistreatment, of the colored American. Despite their length, they contain many truths and strike a responsive chord. To go into the Lafayette when Clarence Stevens is indulging in this verbal onslaught one would imagine that a protest meeting, held under the auspices of the National League for the Advancement of Negroes, was going on.
Billy King and Bill Higgins provide much of the comedy, and while most of their situations and dialog are past the teen age, they usually get over big. Although out of the army only a few weeks, Higgins, who could have more to do, is as funny as ever.
The one best bet of the show is Gertrude Saunders, who registers a big hit toward the fag-end of the evening in "Daddy," an old number, 'tis true, but never rendered with such dramatic effect in Harlem. Clever young woman is this Miss Saunders, and I wager that she will be a big favorite in the vicinity of 131st street and Seventh avenue during the entire run of the company.
Ernest R. Whitman also makes a favorable impression as a vocalist
There are several old favorites with Billy King's aggregation, including Mme. Rosa Lee Tyler, Ida Forsyne, Theresa Brooks, Ollie Burgoyne, Berlina Banks, Ruth Cherry, Sadie McCarver and "Jim" Reed, who is still singing bass as he did when a member of Williams and Walker.
Others with the production are Clarence Stevens, Maio Gerwood, M. J. Slater, Mazie King, Erne Ford, Rebecca Thomas; Zuleaka Daniels, Lena Turner, Belle West, Ella Gadson, Mary Bradford; Ethel Jackson, Ethel Bolton, Mammie Morales, Edna Hicks, Dolly Smith, Geneve Stearn, Laura B. Hall, J. W. Coleman, H. Crawford, Leonard Burton and R. Fraction.
"Over the Top" is no "Red Moon" or "Bandanna Land," but if you want to see one of the best burlesque shows on the road, a production with plenty of bright costumes and scenery, and a bunch of good workers go and see "Over the Top," which Billy King and company certainly are putting over the top. The company has been booked to appear at the Lafayette for six weeks, and will present a new musical production every two weeks.

With an entirely new program of songs and syncopations, the annual 39th Regiment "Hell-Fighters" Jazz Band, fifty strong, will usher in the new musical season at Carnegie Hall, with special concerts Saturday and Sunday evenings, July 26 and 27, each beginning promptly at 8:15 o'clock. Under its new and popular conductor, "Liene" Mikell, the band has been in rehearsal for the past two weeks, preparing a booming big bill of jazz, which rivals that offered throughout France last year and on tour here in the Spring. The Honorary Committee of Welcome for these auspicious concerts includes Col. "Bill" Hayward, Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, Governor Smith, Mayor Hylan, Major Lorillard Spencer, Walter Damroch, Rodman Wanamaker, John J. McGraw, Fred R. Moore, Charles W. Anderson, George W. Harris Edward A. Warren, R. S. Abbott and Lester A. Walton.
Many new features make up the program which has been arranged, including Frank De Bronte, cornet soloist; a saxophone quartet; the 20th Century Four, already well-known to Harlem music-lovers; Les Bandilleros; an interesting group of spiritualists; Stork and Luther in comic songs; Howard and Rollison; Ward Andrews, star trombonist; Rijos, Hernandez, and the Clarinet Otte. Some of the band ensemble selections," the Blossoms," "Little Daddy," "Chong," "Healstreet Blues," "Indianaola," "Ole Miss Rag," "Have A Smile," "Dixie Is Dixie Once More," "Rip-Van Winkle," and "Camp Meetin' Day."
A percentage of the band's receipts from these and future concerts will be used as the nucleus for a Jim Europe Memorial Fund, as a tribute to the late leader of the band. It is the intention of W. W. Chikum, 176 West 135th street, and Joseph W. Grey, 49 West 134th street, who originated the idea, to devote this fund to establishing a school of music in Harlem, at which free tuition under the very best directors will be afforded Negro students.

The official and authentic history of the true part played by the Negro in the great World War, written by a man whose valuable experience, intimate connection with every phase of the direction of the great struggle, makes it possible to publish the true facts.
A great historical volume that should be in every Negro home. Gives inside facts and accurate and official data and pictures which will appear in no other book. Every chapter is full of the very information which you have been anxiously waiting to know.
This Great Book tells all about the Negro Everywhere in the World War.—How Hus Did Hia Duty, in every capacity; from right up in the front line trenches and on the battlefields—clear back to the work of keeping the bome fires burning; on the farm; in the mills and munition plants; on the railroads and steamships; in ship yards and factories. Men and women with the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the War Camp Community Service; the Liberty Loan Drives, etc.
Scott's Official History was written for the Negro by the Negro that the wonderful record of daring deeds, gallant bravery and undying heroism of our black troops might never pelt. A great tribute to the patriotism of the Negro Mass.

STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR
Not with hot irons. But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all the hair with a little combing hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor anything else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their works like magic, and because three of them are prepared in the world like it, I offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink no-more will not straighten.
Kink-nomore is a vegetable compound. It is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But it will stop it from burning itself, positively remove dandruff; promotes a lactic acid growth of healthy hair; and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-nomore is sold under a guarantee to do all that claimed for it or money refunded. I will not to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a cup size box of Kink-nomore, enough to straighten a hair. When ordering send registered letter, postal money order or express money order. Lateral inducements offered to agents. Write today for special terms. Enclose 1 cent stamp for reply. Agents warned everywhere. Address Prof. F. Shelton, 107 Prospect Ave, Ashbury Park, N. J.
