Cordele, Ga.—A remarkable proceeding on the part of the white citizens of this place took place a short while ago, when a mass meeting was held to consider the restoring of the Negro church buildings, which were destroyed by the mob several weeks ago. A committee was appointed to investigate the damage done and to report the amount needed to be raised to make good this destruction. This committee reported as follows: "Pursuant to and in connection with a mass meeting held at the Court House some weeks ago concerning the burning of Negro churches in the county, a number of white and colored citizens met at the site of one of these churches Thursday and made an investigation of the number of churches destroyed and the cost of rebuilding them. It developed at this meeting that there were three churches destroyed. A careful estimate of the amount neces- tary for material only was placed at both $2,500 for the three.

This week marked the removal of the Washington office of the Colored Men's Department of the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association from the Capital to New York City. Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary, announced that the office here is to be located in the General headquarters at the spacious building, 25 Madison avenue. Dr. Moorland gave an illuminating survey of the work that has been carried on under his supervision, and the reasons which have made a change of base necessary at this time. He said, in part: "The growth of the Y. M. C. A. work among colored men in the past few years has been marvelous. The experimental period has been passed, with results that are both gratifying and inspiring. Now, we must throw aside our swaddling clothes and put on the whole garment of preparedness for the expansion that is come. The shifting of this office to New York is the logical outcome of the increasing importance of this work among colored youth, and the recognition thus accorded our people by the international authorities is a long step forward—blazing the way toward unlimited possibilities for the future. Washington has admirably served its purpose, and now that the foundation (Continued on Haitch Page) FORMER COLORED IS LYNCHED FOR A WHITE S Leading Citizens are Silent One of the White Men Sh to be Intimate with C FORMER COLORED SOLDIER IS LYNCHED FOR HAVING A WHITE SWEETHEART Leading Citizens are Silent on Disgraceful Affair- One of the White Men Showing Bitterness Said to be Intimate with Colored Woman.

CLARKSDALE, MISS.—Although L. B.

The ex-colored soldier was taken Frank Williams and Messrs. Moor- the Moor Hotel and string head and Birdsong. The ex-colored souther was taken from the Mosby Hotel and string up from the bridge across the Sunflower River. The body was found in the water three days later and buried the following day. Reed was put to death for showing marked attention to a white woman who stopped at the Mosby Hotel, but who took her meals at the Clarksdale Cafe where the dead man was employed as a waiter.

Those present, both white and colored, agreed that this would be a just and agreeable division of the burden. "To the end of raising this fund it was arranged to put on a one-day campaign both in the communities of these churches and in the city of Cordele. This campaign to be waged on Thursday, September 25. To this end committees were appointed to work, both in the county and city, and it is confidently thought that these committees will meet with the same degree of success that has always characterized our splendid citizenship. "There is no more worthy or meritorious cause that we could engage in than assisting to restore the colored church buildings so wantonly destroyed. In no section of our country is the colored race more peaceable, law-abiding and industrious than in Crisp County and we should recognize in this attitude some degree of consideration for their welfare. "Another thing which we should recognize and appreciate is the fact that notwithstanding the great labor unrest over the country and the agitation to excite labor, our colored race in this county has remained free from these influences—at the same time the colored race constitutes practically all our labor. It is felt that no trouble will be had in raising the money on next Thursday to serve every purpose in rebuilding the burned churches. So far no one has been found guilty of burning these churches, although a large reward was and is still offered." DR. ALEXANDER FOR ASSEMBLY. (Special to Tax New York) NEWARK, N.

NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1919. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR SQUARE DEAL The voters of Kings County, which includes the Borough of Brooklyn, will have an opportunity this Fall to express their approval of a public official who has discharged his duties without fear or favor and who is a staunch advocate of a square deal for all citizens. This is the Lion, Harry E. Lewis, who has been remonstrated for the office of District Attorney. Luke Lewis states: "It is my desire to prosecute vigorously and fearlessly all those charged with the violation of the penal law without regard to race, creed, color or religion, or through position in the community. The sole (WATERBURY, CONN.—Hon. Charles W. Anderson, ex-Collector of Internal Revenue, and present Supervisor of the Department of Farms and Markets for the State of New York, delivered a ringing speech off. Theodore Roosevelt and the Negro in politics, before a large and enthusiastic audience of both colored and white voters at the Republican Club in this city Friday night, Sept. 26. His advice to the colored men was both logical and instructive and his description of the high qualities and great principles of the former. President was couched in glowing language and expressed with deep feeling. At the close of his address he was nearly swept off his feet by the crowd that surged around him to shake his hand and congratulate him. He was then whirled away in an automobile to the Cheshire Country Club, where a dinner and smoker was tendered him by the members of the club. About sixty-five of the leading colored men of the State of Connecticut were present to greet him and extend to him the hospitality of the club. Mr. Anderson expressed his delight at the splendid club-house surroundings, and complimented the men whose energy and effort were responsible for such a place. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Kefferd had supper with Dr. P. F. Anderson and Mrs. Anderson of this city. After the meeting he was taken to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Haile, where he spent the few hours before his train time. The Committee included: J. E. Kefferd, chairman; J. L. Haile, J. E. Jones, J. E. Hatcher, Emperet Evans, Dr. P. F. Anderson, Otis Triel, F. B. McKinney, Dr. R. B. Costua. Many interesting speeches were made at the table. Thomas L. Anderson of Sheffield, President of the Church Country Club, used as Teen Minister. desire of the office has been to deal fairly with all peoples and to run an office that at all times was fair and just." Mr. Lewis was born in New York City in 1880. He was admitted to the Bar in 1901, and was associated with District Attorney Backus for many years. He practiced law until 1915 when appointed County Judge. He was appointed district attorney in 1916, and at the November election in 1916 was elected district attorney by almost 29,000 majority. During his term as district attorney he has been very active in important cases and has done much toward reducing crime in Kings County. TARIFF FOR SERVICE At a meeting of the Manhattan Medical Association held on Wednesday night, Sept. 24, the question of medical service was discussed and after due consideration the following tariff was decided upon: Office calls, $2; outside calls, $3; night calls (after 11 p. m.), $5. The present economic exigencies have not failed to react on the physicians and surgeons, and it is this fact, it is claimed, which is wholly responsible for this enforced action on the part of the association. This society claims that during times of stress, notably the recent epidemic of influenza, none of its members attempted to enter the profiteering list, in contradistinction to certain other elements which evoked the wrath of the Commissioner of Health. Charity organizations are not unmindful of the assistance given them at all times by the association. Therefore the members feel justified in expecting the continuous co-operation of the public whom they serve, and once again assure it of their sworn loyalty and devotion to the relief of suffering humanity. (Special to The New York Acad) Englewood, N. J.-Dr. W. F. Willoughby won the nomination on the Republican ticket as candidate for the City Council board, over his opponent, the present Councilman who has served for six years. Dr. Willoughby received 172 votes to his opponent's 16 in the first district of the Fourth Ward. With the support of the Englewood Republican Club, and the solid objection it is believed that the Willoughby will not any winner at the November election. Newspaper Propaganda Charged with Inciting the Outbreak JAIL BURNED; NEGRO LYNCHED Mayor Nearly Hanged as He Appealed to Mob for Restoration of Law and Order. The latest example of mob violence culminating in lynching and the destruction of life and property was furnished last Sunday night in the city of Omaha, Nebraska. Not only was the court house set on fire and the sheriff trapped in the flames until he was forced to surrender, but the mayor was nearly hanged when he exhorted the mob to observe the law. During the outbreak a large number of Negroes were badly beaten on the streets and the chief of police narrowly escaped personal injury. According to the news dispatches, Omaha has been on the verge of race riots for several weeks. The causes assigned for this were the newspaper report of numerous cases of allegation by Negroes on white women. But much of the violence was as carecrow propaganda" by the Omaha Mayor, who drew attention to the interests of Colored Americans. In recent years it predicted the dangerous results of this newspaper propaganda in the following word: "In Omaha, for example, it has come almost a daily event for the sink sheet of the Omaha Daily News and the Omaha Bee, until quite recently above this reprehensible custom, to carry screaming, scarecrow head lines of an alleged crime by some Negro. Most of this scarecrow propaganda business in Omaha is 'pure, dirty politics,' to use an Irish bull. Nevertheless it damages, offends and wounds self-respecting and law-abiding citizens, and if persisted in will inevitably lead to regrettable results. "Were these reports of crime true it would be bad enough, but when the large proportion of them is absolutely false and the papers fail to feature or even publish the denial, the injustice of this must be plain to all." Hanged to an Electric Light Pole. The following details of the riot were given in the news dispatches. OMAHA, N.H. As a climax to a day of rioting here in the heart of the city, during which one man was slain, a score wounded, hundreds of shots fired and the County Court House burned, William Brown, a Negro prisoner held for an attack on a white girl, was lynched as he was trying to escape from the burning structure shortly before midnight. The mob, which numbered thousands, both men and women, hanged the Negro to an electric pole, and as his body was lighted by the flames from the burning building, riddled it with bullets. While the greater part of the mob was surrounding the Court House Mayor E. P. Smith monn., a box and appealed to the rioters to disperse. He was seized, badly beaten and his neck actually was put in a noose before he could be rescued. Removed to a hospital, he remained unconscious at midnight from his injuries. Two thousand troops, held in readiness earlier in the night at Forts Omaha and Cook, started for the city on special cars to restore order, permission having been given for this movement by Secretary of War Baker in Washington. Police and City Officials Beaten. The court house, a new $1,500,000 structure, houses also the county jail on its top floor, beneath which is the Sheriff's office. During the afternoon the mob started to form, beating policemen, Negroes and the city officials who counseled calm. It broke into sporting goods stores and looted them of revolvers, shotguns and ammunition. When streams of water were turned on the mob, fusilades began from a dozen different points in the four crowded blocks surrounding the court house. Traffic was stopped, windows smashed by the hundred, and soon fires were started in the court house, which had previously been harricaded against the mob. It was while the rioters were forcing their way into the building that the first fatality came, one of the men being shot dead and others seriously wounded. Two Negro policemen sent to maintain order were beaten almost to death, women being in the throes that man-hoodled them.

The troops and the sober minded citizens of the city, who are thoroughly alarmed by the ferocity of the outbreak, are exerting every effort to prevent a recurrence or a spread of the disorder. Certain wild spirits among the rioters who stormed the court house were said to be endeavoring to precipitate a race war similar to that which disgraced Chicago and Washington, and special vigilance was exercised at the north end of the city where there is a large Negro population. Before the troops arrived, mobs were beating Negroes wherever they found them. Many of the victims were pulled off street cars and left unconscious in the streets. In some instances raids were made on houses in which Negroes live. Forty Negroes who were considered (Continued on Second Page) NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO REMOVE SUPT. BRUCE WASHINGTON, D. C.—The five months' campaign of the Parents' League for the removal from office of Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools, on grounds of inefficiency, apparently has been in vain. Realizing this, after months of waiting for action on its demands by the board of education, the organization now plans to carry its grievances to Congress. The case now is in the hands of a committee appointed by the school board several months ago, but its findings have not been reported. Until then a dozen members of the league will picket the Franklin School, headquarters of the school board, carrying banners denouncing the board and demanding Bruce's removal. Indications last week were that the investigating committee's report will be made public this week, but authorities on school affairs intimated that the charges against Bruce would be dismissed and his services retained despite the threats of the organization to have him removed or withdraw 20,000 colored children from the public schools and place them in private institutions.

That you will find a crowd of young men ranging in age from 18 to 45 all general and pleasant fellows—and all have either been in service and are now discharged, or are still in the service waiting for their discharge. They go there daily to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and hospitality that this Club affords. There they meet their friends and on certain days and evenings they have an opportunity to meet nice young ladies and have an occasional dance and chat. They can have writing material and write to the folks at home, so from 6 in the morning and until midnight, an endless chain of the boys and men is coming in or going out of the Club. The feature of the week's activities was a "smoker," which was attended by over 150 young men. Major Ramsey, director in charge of the work at this centre, presided over the gathering. Judge Robert H.

M. C. A. The tablet is the work of M. Mars-Vallet, one of the foremost sculptors of France, who had a studio at Les Charmettes, near Chambrey, where a great body of American Negro soldiers was quartered. The building and furnishings of Rousseau still stand in Les Charmettes and because of the great French writer's views on democracy and liberty the soldiers adopted the place as a shrine and, led by W. L. Anderson, who served as a Y. M. C. A. secretary among the troops in France, they paid many visits to the hallowed place. M. Mars-Vallet was much impressed by the devotion of the American Negroes to the memory of Rousseau, which inspired him to begin this design. He selected Zack Bradley of Pine Bluff, Ark., as his model for the Negro warrior. The tablet is two by three feet and numerous attempts have been made by art lovers to purchase it since it reached the United States.

SHAM OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY EXPOSED (Special to The New York Am) New Bedford, Mass.—At a public meeting of the New Bedford Branch of the Colored Civic League of Massachusetts, Edwin B. Jourdain made a strong address in which he defined the unadulterated Americanism, for which the League stands. The address which was printed in the New Bedford Mercury, read in part as follows: Why all this unrest, turmoil and violence in democratic America, vaunted "land of the free and home of the brave"? Why this open and contemptuous defiance of the laws of the land? Because we are not sinners. Because American democracy is not real. Because we are satisfied with pretensions; with appearing to be what we are not; with proclaiming lofty platitudes, and great principles, rather than practicing them. Because our vainglorious boasting has degenerated into rank hypocrisy, and our national honor be mismirched. DR. P. A. WALLACE MENTIONED FOR A. M. E. ZION MEMORIAL The Rev. W. H. Davenport of Wilmot, Arkansas, was in the city a few days ago and preached at the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Brooklyn, of which Dr. P. A. Wallace is the pastor. Questioned as to the approaching general conference which meets at Our country has wonderful visions, she is dreaming of shedding the glorious light of democracy through all the world. But the salvation of American ideals and institutions, the security of her very form of government, even of her existence, demands that she cease blowing iridescent bubbles, and turn the searchlight of truthful investigation within. That she x-rays her own political and social system and locate and eradicate the cancerous growth before it destroy her. The nation must needs recognize the vital fact, that the so-called "Negro question" is the most fateful question before the nation to-day. It concerns both races; it embraces humanity. It is not a question of race or color, it is solely and entirely a question of supremacy of the American Constitution and the laws of the land over the forces of mobocracy and lawlessness. Upon the correct solution of the "Negro question" depends the future success or failure of American democracy, with all that implies in world influence and welfare. It is an axiom that — "Nothing is settled until settled right." The "Negro question" has been sidetracked, pigeonholed, kicked out of national councils, compromised by national government, but it still persists, and every evasion and compromise has brought shame and disaster to the nation. It is the only controversy which ever developed treason in an entire section of the nation, disrupted the federation of States, drenched the land in the blood of its choicest youth. And it times the unrepentant South solidly up in rebellion against right, its country's laws, and humanity. When I say "South" I mean that section which has unconstitutionally legislated against the manhood and the citizenship of every colored American within its borders. All of which is diametrically opposed to principle of true Americanism and of democracy. There is no color line in Americanism, none in the Constitution, the charter of American rights and liberties. And no man of reason has the right to limit or define Americanism by either race, creed or color. The leading exponents of Bolshevism, the most important elements of democracy in the United States to-day, are not the leaders of the party, but Americans of the Bolshevist movement of the United States. We speak of their contests for the constitution of their country, and discuss their actions it from the restroom, the auditor, and even the floors of the national laboratory of Government itself, to which position in the lavender stress, fraud, violence, and criminal and civilization of their rebellion has elevated itself. America does that any part of our country would call to the case mantle of the heart of Berlin. The colossal American is still pro- gressing despite all the obstacles heilith hate can impose. His face is set to toward the sunlight and the morning and either to the sun, my native land, or under allies it needs to must be, he is going to work out his salvation and achieve his destiny. It American brutality forces him to expatriate himself, then America will surrender all right to her bounding preclamation of Liberty and democracy and the day of her destiny will be over. That must not, cannot be, and this black race which has fought for and died for this land is going to live and strive to put its principles and laws into practice, to redeem it from the forces of reaction and lawlessness.

WALLACE MENTIONED FOR A. M. E. ZION MEMORIAL in the Rec. W. H. Dawson of Wilmington, Arkansas, was in the city a few days ago and preached at the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Brook- lyn, of which Dr. P. A. Wallace is the pastor. Questioned as to the approaching general conference which meets at PETER DR. P. A. WALLACE Knoxville, Tenn., next May, and the measures which will likely engage the attention of that body, he declared that the men everywhere are thinking for themselves, and will be found supporting all progressive measures for the betterment of the Church. On the question of the bishopric, he said: "The consentus of opinion seems to be that we should elect at least two, and the men have about settled in their minds what men they want to fill these positions; Dr. P. A. Wallace will, in all possibility, be one of them. I have travelled over the church a great deal only, and have spoken to scores of the church, and they all spoke very favourable of the big pastor of Fleet Street Church. His election is conceded." The Rev. Davenport was the head of the Publishing Committee of the A. M. K. Zion Council at Patterson, N. J., and is being strongly pushed for the edifice of the Star of Zion, the official organ of his denomination. He is one of the most popular writers in his church.

A large number of its graduates are teaching in rural schools. Many are in the graded schools of this and other states. Many have been trained along business lines, and we employ in our own office eight or nine of the graduates from the Commercial Department, and without a single ex- ception, each one is making good and living up to the highest standards of life. Churches in the state are being filled by young men who are trained in this school. Many have gone out trained in Domestic Science and Art, while others are filling various duties in life. "This school has had, quite a struggle for existence. It is entirely dependent upon the gifts of the people, white and black, in order to keep going. The school is needed in the community, because it is doing fine work in maintaining a good feeling between the races. If the white people of the community were to know more about the institution and visit it and see the fine work eager and willing to help. I earnestly eager an dwelling to help.

"The President informs me that they cannot accommodate the large numbers of people who are seeking admission and they will be crowded beyond their immortal limits, but they must have money with which to enlarge their buildings and meet the ordinary current expenses. "I know the worth of the institution. I know it is being carefully managed, and I also know, that gifts given to the institution will be faithfully applied and will do great good. I, therefore, as a citizen of Durham and as one who is interested in everything that is going to make for the good of both races, appeal to my white and colored friends in the city, state and in the nation to make a donation to the National Training School, and to visit the institution and see for yourself the work that is being done there, and to do all you can to encourage its President Dr. James E.

Washington, D. C. Among the first things to strike the reader in glancing at the much heralded and eagerly awaited "Scott's Official History of the American Negro in the World War" are the tributes paid by Secretary of War Eubank and General Pershing to the loyalty of the race and the qualities of the soldier. General Pershing is quoted in part as shows: "The enemy is not given more troops is that they are not given more unfortunate work to do. I cannot command too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit one capacity for quick training and cagerness for the most dangerous work." As a result of his nearly two years of service in the capacity of confidential advisor to the Secretary of War, Dr. Scott has written the story of the Negro soldier, with characteristic facility of expression and clearness of narrative. In the volume presented there are six hundred and more pages profusely illustrated, with nearly two hundred pictures, including many taken on the French front and crammed with interesting stories, important historical facts, non never before made public, facts and pictures are impressed in the picture they give of the extent of Negro participation in the War, and fascinating in their recital of the patriotism, courage and cheerfulness of the men and woman of that race under handicaps and difficulties that might well have discouraged them. Dr. Scott tells how he was asked by the Secretary of War to go to Spartanburg and use his influence to quell what threatened to be a race war between Negro soldiers and the white people of that South Carolina town, who resented the quartering of Negroes among them; he tells, too, the sequel to this and other protests from the South against the presence of Negro soldiers—the practically unanimous verdict of the Southern press that the conduct of the Negro soldiers in camp and cantonment had been exemplary and praiseworthy and a widespread new recognition of the better quality of life among the white majority of the South. There are special chapters on Negro Women in War Work and on the work of the social welfare agencies that operated among the colored people. "Did the Negro Soldier Get a Square Deal?" is the title of one of the book's concluding chapters; the reader cannot fail to be impressed with Dr. Scott's breadth of view and sanity of judgment as he reads his analysis of the conditions under which the Negro soldier took part in the war. He has refused to apologize for any of the injustices visited upon colored officers and soldiers, and has unparallels brought to light many of the injustices faced by Negro soldiers during the war. At the same time he has directed attention to both sides of the shield and has sought to indicate not only those particulars in which the Negro failed to get a square deal in camp and cantonment in America and overseas, but has also awarded proper need of praise to those who sought to accord to Negro officers soldiers their full due. Under the heading, "What the Negro Got Owed to the War," he has, among other things, this to say: "The war has brought the American Negro a keener and sharply defined consciousness, not cities and privileges as a citizen of the United States. The colored people of America performed to the utmost of their ability the duties which the war involved upon all citizens, black and white alike. If having fulfilled thus the obligations of citizenship, they are to be denied the right to exercise the privileges of citizenship, then, indeed, they feel, will the war have been fought in." The book is published by the L.W. Walter Co. 633 Plymouth Court, Chicago, Ill. NO RACE DISTINCTION IN ATLANTA RED CROSS (Special to The New York Amc) Mason, G. According to a correspondent of the Macon Telegraph, one of the distinct branches of the American American Red Cross, located in the Walton building in Atlanta, is making no distinction, in its executive staff between the white and the Negro race, and as a result the Federal Employment Bureau in Atlanta has declined to send that office any further white girl photographers or help of any class. No complaints made to him by young who have been assigned to the field one of the organization, Director H. M. Stanley, for investigation of the conditions combined of, and thus found it is entirely that young white ladies employed, through the Federal Employment Bureau have been required to take dictation from Neuros, and for that reason quit the jobs as fast as they were sent to the Red Cross offices by the em- ployment bureau A few days ago complaint came to Director Stanley from the young lady in charge of the Atlanta office of the Georgia branch of the employment service that she was unable to keep enough stenographers to fill the calls from that division of the Red Cross quartered in the Walton building; that she had made inquiry and ascertained from one of the young ladies sent there, who had quit the day before, that the reason for the inability to keep the positions as typists and stenographers filled is because the girls refuse to take dictation from the Negroes who have their deks located in and among the white people in clerical and official positions in the same set of offices. Mr. Stanley was disposed to believe the story a visionary one, or founded on some disgruntled feeling, and immediately directed that an investigation be made by a selected member of his staff. The report was made of the result of that investigation, and the charges made by these young ladies who have refused to retain the positions, given them was that the charge, is entirely true. Based on this report an order has been issued to the employment bureau to decline to provide any further help for the Red Cross. BLACK MAN AND AFRICA B. E. G. Douglas This is the first of a series of articles, in which the writer proposes to deal exclusively with the story of the Black Man and Africa, in ancient and modern times. This story tells us of the great explorers who have made Africa really known, to the world, also how the different nations went into Africa and stayed and what happened in consequence. Why do men call Africa the Dark Continent? It is not because the sun does not shine there. Nowhere does the sun shine with more heat and brightness than in Africa. The reason why we call Africa dark, is because that for hundreds of years, thousands upon thousands of miles of the lands of Africa were not known to men, because the great Continent was very difficult and dangerous to explore. Wild beasts were there to hinder any steps that might have been taken to survey this Continent. Humans of years before Jesus was born small ships tried to learn what was beyond the mighty shores of Africa. But they did not dare to go right into the country. They lived up in the north of Africa; they knew the land round about them, what it was like, but no more. The River Nile is a mighty stream running into the Mediterranean Sea. By the sides of the river, in the valley through which it am, the most learned men of the Old World lived. That was long before Greece and Rome had become powerful and learned nations. These learned men were none other than the Egyptians, who made slaves of the Children of Israel. It was into this land, the land of Egypt, that Jesus was taken when a child so that Herod should not kill him. The Egyptians built wonderful cities and temples and monuments, such as have never been built since. They had good laws. When the power of the Egyptians died away, there came the civilization of the Phoenicians. Next the brave and skillful Greeks ruled Egypt. Later still the Romans, who ruled all the world that was then known to man. But still no more of Africa was known to them than had been known by the Egyptians. They gave the name of Africa to a small place in the north of the Continent, by the south shore of the Mediterranean, and they spoke of the rest of the continent, which they had not explored, as the land stretching away toward, the setting sun. They did not know where or how it ended. So the cleverest people in the world lived for thousands of years in a land of which they knew nothing. It was as strange as it would have been if the English, French and Dutch had been content to settle down along the banks of the James and St. Lawrence, the Hudson and other rivers that flow through this continent and never dared to explore the woods and forests. The reason for this fear of the people was that the real Africa lay at the other side of the Sahara Desert, which no man could cross, because there was no water nor food for himself or the beasts. For 200 years many people had gradually made their way inland from the north. The Arabs, and vast tribes of wandering men from Asia, had begun to immigrate into Africa. But still no white men had ever gone there. Men from Britain and all over Europe began to settle down on the coast of Africa. But nothing important was done until early in the 17th century. Later, I will tell more about Africa with historical views of Abyssina and the custom and ways of the Arabs. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4 The New York World. In their recent race riots East St. Louis, Knoxville, Washington and Chicago contented themselves with beatings and killings by persons who quickly ran to cover. Omaha scores more than 100 killings in the police force, murderously assaulting the Mayor and burning the Court House. For the newest infamy we have the same old excuses. Crime on the part of Negroes was increasing. The courts had dealt leniently with offenders. The black population had increased rapidly of late as a result of migration from the South, and to race friction industrial rivalry was added. Probably there is not a thug in all Omaha who will not find in these conditions some defense for his savagery. But Omaha is not ordinarily given over to thugery. It is an enlightened American city, self-governing and depending for its security as much upon the good-will of its inhabitants, as upon law and its ministers. With such foundations for public order, the sudden development of a mob destructive alike of fire and property can be accounted for on the theory of ill-illustrated elsewhere, that the municipal authorities were weak and negligent. Except the Mayor, who met the rioters face to face and received what may be fatal injuries, it does not appear that assassination, arson, pillage and terror encountered adequate opposition anywhere. Omaha only corroborates the testimony of East St. Louis, Knoxville, Washington and Chicago that in all of our cities there are forces of evil which cannot be ignored, cannot be parleyed with, cannot be tolerated. When they gain the ascendancy everything while is at stake. Their pretended assistance and indulgence their alleged devotion to rudimentary justice is a mockery. Law which does not assert itself when mobs are forming becomes shamefully impotent when their vengeance wrought, they disperse exultingly to await another opportunity. The Evening Sun. Perhaps the most shocking phenomenon, however, is the speech of Senator L. B. Sharp Williams defending the lawmen. When a Senator of the United States rises in his seat and defends riot, bloodshed and the substitution of rage and violence for law and justice, there is something seriously wrong. Needless may, nobody has any sympathy with human Browne, if he was guilty; still he would any one palliate his alleged crime or minimize the punishment of him. But the legal and orderly infliction of punishment is one thing and lynchism is another; the one is the safeguard organized civil life, the other is its destruction. Even if Browne was real, the guilty man the fact is no excuse for his violence; indeed, it is the strongest argument against superseding the law, which had him in his clutches and was sure to deal with him as he deserved. Had he been tried and sentenced and legally punished, his suffering would have been a warning and a deterrent to other miscreants. As it is his fate furnishes all of his race with a grim fate of aullen provocation to hatred and vengeance which, at least in some cases, will work out in more riot and bloodshed. The New York Tribune. A wearying sense of human backwardness, of ignoble national failure, to face with our nearest and most urgent problem is the first reaction from the terrible news out of Nebraska. If they are redeeming features, they have yet to appear. In another test of American humanity and self-control, in an trial of American institutions, the fate has been utter and appalling. When effrontery for us to pretend to be a whole world aright when we can do better with the chief difficulty within our gates? The one hope which emerges from the sombre day will be the possibility that last some national treatment of the Negro problem may replace the second one of the past. Was there ever southern lynching as appalling as fendish outrage in one of the great acts of the West? It did not take even in a border state. There no large population of Negroes. It seems no vestige of room left for cold attitude of superiority which so many critics in the North assumed used the South. Therein lies the chance for the future of the country can forget its past distresses, its racial reactions, based on socialism—of fear and prejudice on the side, of pious ignorance on the other—it is not possible that a healing and progressive future may be mapped out? Abuse and recrimination never solved any problem. They can, least of all, solve a racial problem, the most dangerous and the most gigantic that faces any civilized nation. It is an integral part of our national destiny. No policy of separation or self-determination can settle it. We shall carry it with us to whatever grave awaits our national greatness in the ages to come. And it is as utterly unsolved, we feel bound to say, as when in the far Constitutional Convention of 1787 its settlement was first compromised. In a sense we never have faced the Negro problem. Have we the courage and wisdom and humanity now to face it? Only, surely, if we can approach it with a united front, in humanity, and with a generosity that knows no sectional bias and seeks only the nation's welfare. The New York, Sun. In Omaha, where a mob of race riots fired the court house, assaulted the Mayor and lynched a Negro, the authorities blundered as authorities in other communities frequently blunder when the spirit of violence seizes considerable numbers of the people within their jurisdiction. If one-man, or half a dozen men, set out to commit arson and murder the laxies and, least efficient policeman or a matter-of-course to put an end to trouble. "The incendiary and assassin will be captured if it is possible. If it is necessary to about him to prevent the commission of crime he will be shot. But when a great number of violent men plan to commit arson and murder the authorities too frequently wait until the attempt is actually under way before they adopt measures to perform their duty. They let the mob form, they allow it to approach the spot where its victim is, and only when the final act of its lawless design is imminent do they report to those measures to maintain the people they are understood and protect, mobs. Because of this neglect of preliminary precautions diagnoseal crimes as those committed in Omaha occur, and their dirace is made blacker by the fact that the authorities might prevent them by exercising reasonable foresight. The race, riots which have brought shame to Washington, to Chicago, to Omaha and to other cities may be the result of revolutionary agitation, as some persons assert this is the fact the police, by admin. the law is made stronger. Should such a conspiracy exist it would be the duty of the authorities to use extra vigilance in maintaining order. The Evening Mail. Every American who holds dear the good name of his country and respects its laws will take his hat off to Mayor E. P. Smith of Omaha. We care not what Mayor Smith's political opinions are; we care not what his administrative record is. We only know that in a moment of civil disorder, when a mob was raging through the streets of the principal city of Nebraska, bent upon wreaking its意志, migrated to summer being, the chief dignitary of the city face the wrath of the rioters, lived up to his oath of office and his traditions as an American, and sought to recall them to orderly conduct. The danger which Mayor Smith incurred by his firm stand against disorder is revealed by the attempt which the mob made to lynch him. Twice, as the Associated Press report of the incident records it, the mob drew taut the rope which it had passed around Mayor Smith's neck; twice, by the same authority, his feet were kicked off the ground before the final act of swinging him up. Only by the indomitable courage of two policemen was the fair fame of Omaha spared an indefible blot. Keeping Her Secret. "A woman can't keep a secret," declared a mere man. "Oh, I don't know," retorted the lady, "I've kept my age a secret since I was twenty-four." "Yes, but one of these days you will give it away. In time you will simply have to tell it." "Well, I think that when a woman has kept a secret for eighteen years she comes pretty near knowing how to keep it."-Hoston Transcript.

Has New Secretary in Chicago (Special to The New York Am) Chicago, Ill.—The entering of Mrs. Martha McAdoo, well-known in Boston, Cleveland and other cities, on her new duties as secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association for work among colored women in Chicago has given impetus to the movement just inaugurated to carry out a constructive program here—one that should mean much to both races. Mrs. McAdoo is one of the representative women of the race and already has made many friends among both white and colored people. The colored women of Chicago became affiliated with the National Board a year ago under the leadership of Miss Edna Cook, who has done splendid work and has resigned to take up teaching. Her successor, Mrs. McAdoo, has the hearty co-operation of the National Board, which is doing everything to make the W. Y. C. A. a powerful agency for good in Chicago. Plans also are underway to arouse general interest in girls' work under the direction of Miss Crystal Bird in conjunction with a local worker. Among the Features already introduced by Mrs. McAdoo are the establishment of a room registry bureau to help the housing of girls and a demonstration of a boarding home rostransient girls. An industrial department soon will be established which will exercise a helpful influence over the hundreds of colored girls working in the stockyards. The home of the Y. W. C. A. is at 3541 Indiana Avenue, and the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association has equipped a large garage as a recreation room, as club and recreation work will play a very important part. Mrs. McAdoo, who has expressed herself as saying: "From now on I intend to give my life to my people," is receiving the hearty co-operation of the women of Chicago, among them being Mrs. Juanita K. Robinson, Mrs. Silla Williams, Mrs. Berthf Cook, Mrs. Eva Jenifer, Mrs. Margaret Jamison, Mrs. Nora Hall, Dr. White, Dr. Emanuel, Mesdames Webster, Preston Martin, Spurlock, Tivis, Hudson and Holloway.

Oct 6-42 Elementary Geography United States History Elementary Physiology THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS "The Confessions of a War Bride" Full of Heart Interest By LESTER A. WALTON George Carson, Leont. U. S. Army— Arthur Simmons Low Boone, Second Leont. U. S. Army— Cha John Carson— Clarence E. Muse Jimmie Payton— Arthur T. Ray Mr. Lane— James H. Gray Bryce— Private Jones— Wm. Jackson Private Williams— Frank Jones Chaplain McVane— Henry Pleasant Blossom "Butterfly" Lane, Evelyn Ellis Carson— Carolina Inez Clough Mrs. Carson Rose Lee Tyler Aunt Sally— THOSE expecting to see in "The Confessions of a War The Confessions of a War Bride" a superlatively risque offering, will be somewhat disappointed upon their visit to the Lafayette Theatre this week; but if in the midst of their mental ruminations they have pictured a delightful play dealing with one of the big social problems growing out of the world's war—a play cleverly written and well acted—then their imagination will be appeased. What is more, they will see in Miss Evelyn Ellis the most promising young colored actress we have on the stage to-day. Within two years, Miss Ellis has become one of the shining lights of the Lafayette Players, and with youth, ability and personal charm to her credit, coupled with an ambition to be a star of the first magnitude in the theatrical firmament, great things are expected of her. As Blossom Butterfly Lane in "The Confessions of a War Bride," Miss Ellis instantly wins the sympathy of the audience as the bucolic miss who falls in love with a soldier boy. Arthur Simmons, as Lieutemant George Carson, makes an acceptable lover and plays his part as generally expected, of a heroic young army officer. Mr. Simmons, too, is looming up as a member of the Lafayette Players deserving of serious consideration. As for Clarence E. Muse, aside from being a talented actor, he is a close student of the drama, as his remarkable make-up as John Carson will attest. The fine work of Miss Carlotta Freeman and Inez Clough also stamp them as artists, and the big strides Charles Olden and Arthur T. Ray have made in the ream of drama in recent years is an agreeable surprise to those who knew them in musical comedy only. One of the hits of "The Confessions of a War Bride" is made by Mine. Rosa Lee Tyler as Aunt Sally. In the past she has been associated with musical shows and vaudeville, and despite the fact that this is her first effort in the legitimate field she is the chief laugh provoker of the cast. Judging from her present success, she will confine her activities to the drama in the future. Robert Slater, as Perrin, is seen to advantage, as are Frank Jones and William Jones. The first act of the play is a trifle slow, but interest quickens in the three succeeding acts, causing those in the audience to cry and laugh as the situations develop. However, everything ends happily ever afterwards, the audience goes home in a most cheerful frame of mind. Although we have been surfeited with plays dealing with the boys in khaki, "The Confessions of a War Bride" is so different from the rest and so pregnant with heart interest that it should be seen by all who have in the past encouraged the Lafayette Players in their uphill climb to gain a foothold in the world of make believe. ATTRACTION AT- LAFAYETTE Another instance of the Quality Amusement Corporation trying to give the people just what they want is evident in the announcement that at the Lafayette Theatre next week "Madame X" will be presented. So insistent has been the demand for this play that the Quality people decided to bring back a show that made one of the most remarkable runs in Harlem. Miss Albie Mitchell will again head the cast which will be made up of nearly all the members who first appeared in the production. The greatest of all human emotions, mother love, the animating of "Madame X" and this is why this poignant drama has so swept the playgoing world. Not only has Alexander Bisson dealt with atopic inefably dear to every man, woman and child, but he has given his theme a treatment that is Cast of Characters "MADAME X" WILL BE NEXT that is breathlessly interesting in its every moment. All things that are worthy and fine are in this masterpiece from the French: Pathos, charm, humor that sparkles like champagne—even grim tragedy; all pointed with so masterly a hand that one sees a kaleidoscopic picture of the human soul absolutely without equal elsewhere on the modern stage. In the cast supporting Miss Mitchell will appear Lawrence Chenault, Barrington Carter, J. Francis Mores, Wm. "Babe" Townsend, A. B. DeComathiere, Will A. Cooke, J. Edward Brown, Chas. H. Moore, Thomas Moseley, Henry Plater, Alice Gorgas, Susie Sutton and Mattie Wilkes. LAFAYETTE PLAYERS TO BE SEEN AT PUTNAM This week a deal was consummated between the Quality Amusement Corporation and the Putnam Theatre of the Putnam Theatre in Brooklyn where by the former will furnish the Putnam with the Lafayette Players for a specified time in the nature of an experiment, the first attraction to be presented the week commencing October 13. Manager Lark concluded to bring the Lafayette Players to Brooklyn owing to the insistent demand made by many colored residents of that borough who travel to Harlem in search of high class hotels and restaurants. The future policy of the Putnam will depend on the interest manifested by the public in the Lafayette Players during the week of October 13. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Bill Robinson is at Keith's, Toledo.

By BOB SLATER THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4. BROWN TURNS DOWN OFFER FOR DUNBAR PHILADELPHIA, PA.-E. C. Brown, head of the big colored circuit now in stage of development, has refused an offer of $50,000 over the actual cost of construction of the Dunbairn Theatre, which is to be opened here shortly. Several days ago Mr. Brown was waited on by a party of white theatrical men and real estate dealers and asked to consider turning over the house to them. They were told that the Dunbairn was not for sale under any circumstances; that the colored theatre-goer was discriminated against in many of the white houses making it imperative to open a first class house for the race. The fact that the Dunbairn is to be one of the principal theatres in the colored circuit was another reason Mr. Brown turned down the offer.

AMATEUR BILLIARDS SEASON OPENING Wednesday evening, September 24, at their club rooms, 440-42 Lenox avenue, the executive board of the Colored Amateur Billiard Players held the first meeting of the season of 1919-1920. The officers are: C. E. Scott, president; Earl Thomas, vice-president; S. C. Allen, treasurer; W. R. Davis, secretary and manager, and W. H. Willis, general manager. Much business of the coming season was transacted. Robert L. Perdo was admitted to become a member of the executive board. The main subject discussed was the Inter-state open billiard tournament, which will be open to all colored Class "A" billiard players. The president is calling a special meeting for the purpose of completing this arrangement. This game is expected to eclipse the Honey and Bum game of 1917. The club's activities were somewhat curtailed last year owing to the war conditions, even the club's "round robin" lacked interest as so many of the members were at attention "over there." Mr. Willis, the general manager, while on a tour through the Northwest this summer, did much advance work, with the interstate game in mind, and it is almost assured he will bring to New York for exhibition the best colored billardists in the United States. He found the C. A. B. P. was well known from its activities in all the principal visited. It was entertained by Mr. Willis, entertained by Mr. Sims. All billardists with an average of 4 or more are requested to write W. R. Davis, secretary, 440 Lenox avenue, New York. FLORENCE S C FLORENCE, S.

Taylor, the lady of the Baptist parsonage, who had been to John Hopkin Hospital at Baltimore, has returned much improved. HARRY & LAURA PRAMPIN SCHOOL OF MUSIC PHONES ORGANLEY NW 418 W. 26th St. N. Y. City The Drama and the Church. In a recent issue of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, Charles W. Wood foretells a possible development of the community drama through the medium of the Church. As the denomination of which this possibility is predicted is one that has firmly opposed such amusements as the "theatre," it is quite interesting to learn the grounds for this opinion. These are given under the heading, "Something New in American-drama; also in the Methodist Church." The article recalls the stereotyped church social of some years ago and then tells of the pageant presented at the Methodist Centenary celebration at Columbus, Ohio. The writer continued: Right here let me say that I do not "amusements," especially the "theatre," pretend to be a dramatic critic. If I speak of this pageant now as the most important event I know of in the history of American drama, it is with full realization that it may have had many technical defects. But it was so simple thing here which the American stage has never known before—something which left the critics for the most part inspiring them, filling their lives with hopes which they have never dared to "It was simply an attempt" one of the Exposition leaders explained, "to furnish an adequate background for the most sublime music in existence." Faith that remove mountains! That Broadway in wildest dreams, never hoped to finish! That the most sublime music in existence never occurred to this naive Methodist. Dr. Crowther had handled "Messiah" as his inspiration, but William J. Kraft, who arranged the music, drew liberals from other sacred masterpieces. Had Dr. Crowther been a dramatist, he would have seen at once that such sublime outportings of the human soul could not be dramatized; but being a Methodist minister, the task was easy. Only two themes could possibly be adequate for the occasion; one the world unheaval of today, war and its aftermath, the destruction of institutions and the eventual triumph of Faith over despair; the other the death and resurrection of Divinity itself, the separation of man from God and the eventual all-glorious reunion. Obviously, any attempt on the part of Broadway to develop either theme would result in sublime farce; but to every Methodist minister both themes are one. The recognition of that fact was the very keynote of their Centenary Celebration. So Part I of "The Wayfarer" represented the desolation of war and world despair, Part II the simple but sublime episodes of the New Testament. The Methodists have a mission in every country on earth, and for color and costuming they had drawn upon them all. But the two thousand or more participants in the pageant were not performers; they were celebrants every one, and each took his part with the spirit of devout worshipper. It was not fantasy to them; that was evident. Had not each one heard the Voice which spoke peace to his soul, and had not each life been made new through the quickening of the Spirit? And when agn of the grand finale, the men, women and children of all nations marched down the street every strut to hide with their multi-coloured flags the triumphant Cross, it seemed neither like a triumphant nor a formal, religious masque, but a spontaneous celebration of some great event for which the whole world had been waiting through ages of agony and doubt. And that, precisely, is what it was. In every human heart in the Coliseum, it seemed the dry dogma of world redemption had given way to a living faith. And that, to me, is the only possible explanation of this most important event in the history of American drama. Seven thousand spectators packed this Coliseum every night. But they were more than spectators. They were celebrities, too. They, too, believed; and whether or not their faith had hitherto articulate, it at last had found an adequate expression. Again and again in every thousand were hushed to silence so that each spoken word could be heard distinctly throughout the hall. Again and again, the seven thousand were tussled to fervor and joined exultantly in hymns of triumph. Agreed that there is something wrong with any people who do not sing. Agreed that there is something wrong with any community which does not express itself in play. It doesn't follow, however, that we can incubate either art, or that we can cure the evil by going through the motions of a song and dance. The foundation head of all art is religious faith. When faith dies, the forms continue but the forming stops, and nothing but the formula remains. And we see thousands of highbrow whining because we have not spontaneous community drama in America. I have never known one of them to suggest, the tapping of the mainsprings of American religious faith. Be it recorded, then, that the first consequent achievement of the sort of our country was the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a church which is important in "amusements," especially the "theatre." There is a Methodist Church in nearly every American community. There was a Methodist Church in nearly every community in the old days when Blaine and Logan ran, but that is a different matter. Those were the days of church socials. These are days in which the Christian religion is gripping the American people, inspiring them, filling their lives with hopes which they have never dared to entertain before. "A million dollars for missions!" cried Chaplain McCabe less than two decades ago, and those who listened gasped at his outrageous optimism. But this year, American Methodists have just succeeded in raising $105,000,000 for this purpose; and that at a time when the country had been combed clean, scened, by Liberty Bond campaigns, Red Cross drives and a dozen other movements for war savings and war charities. Only one explanation is possible, and that is the actual fact of religious revival. This money did not come from the rich, and it was not raised by church officials in the prescribed methods of tradition. It came mostly from the common people, and it was raised by a committee of the rank and title, inspired by the leadership of a Methodist layman, S. Earl Taylor, who believed implicitly in the promises of Jesus and saw a vision of a world redeemed. Needless to say, Dr. Taylor had no interest in art for art's sake, and never intended to recreate drama in America. But Dr. Crowther gives him credit for the "first and last word of encouragement" in the production of "The Wayfarer"—possibly because a Methodist minister needed a good deal of encouragement to express his faith through drama instead of in homily and exegesis, but opposition was strangely lacking when a complaint finally put on. If some Methodists thought it consistent they refrained from saying, "It didn't feel irreligious, anyway, and most Methodists set a good deal of store in feeling." What next? To me, at least, it is inconceivable that all Americans shall not be affected in some measure by these happenings in Columbus. In nearly every American community there is a Methodist Church. Is it possible that the communicants will be longer contented with mere church socials? My guess is that they will not. My guess is that the lid has been kicked off America's religion and that our young people will insist on expressing their aspirations in positive ways, rather than through mere negative morality. And how about Methodist opposition to the theatre? I don't know that I can give the orthodox answer, but I will give my own. It is my idea that commercial drama in America never suffered to any appreciable extent, from the church socials. It is my idea that it may lose a good many patrons if the young folks of our country once learn the joy of expressing their holiest aspirations in mask and play. I wouldn't be surprised if it would even lose the whole tribe of Jeff Higginbothams. BRIDGEPORT CONN BRIDGERT, CONN. William Monroe Trottier, of Boston, spoke at Walters Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church under auspices of the local Equal Rights League Wednesday evening, Sept. 17, to a record breaking crowd. He told in vivid language how he succeeded in reaching Paris. A banquet was served in his honor at the banquet rooms of Mrs. Edward Waters. Covers were laid for 100 and a very pleasant evening enjoyed. A very pretty welding was witnessed at the Shepherd's Haven, Sept. 24, when Miss Grace E. Lergatt, of Buffalo, became the bride of Charles E. Price, of this city. The Rev. C. VanHuren tied the nuptial knot. The ceremony was witnessed by John R. Smith and Mrs. Ida Stephens. Bishop W. L. Lee, of Brooklyn, will preach at Zion Church Sunday, Oct. 5 at morning and evening services and the Rev. Walter Gay, the newly installed pastor, the Messiah Baptist Church, at the afternoon. The occasion is the closing Sunday of the $1,000 drive. The Y. W. C. A. work has at last started in this city for our people. Mrs. Bullard who died several months ago, made provision in her will that $5,000 should go to the Y. W. C. A. work among the colored people of this city, and that the work be carried within five years. Miss May E. Phillips, from headquarters in New York City, is now here and the work is taking definite shape. Brutal Husband The beamsman had just had their first quarrel and the ride sobbed softly to herself as the male brute whistled the air of a popular tune. "Don't you think" asked the fair young thing plantively, "that a husband should occasionally tell his wife, that she's beautiful?" "No!" replied the soulless beast, "It's wholly superfluous! If she is beautiful she knows she is, and if she isn't beautiful she thinks she in"—Pittsburgh LAFAYETTE THEATRE 7th Ave.-132nd St. ELITE AMUSEMENT CORP., Lessees LESTER A.

In commenting upon this matter Prof. Charles Chase wrote in a article in the Raleigh Independent, anil; "I read this morning The Independent, in which, upon reading its editorials, I find that the writer in commenting upon the action of the Greenboro Negroes, anent the Daily Record's interview (alleged) with 'Negro Leaders of the city, etc.' unintentionally puts the leaders in an embarrassing, and I must say very undesirable position in the estimation of the sensible public. We were out of town here in the episode of a terrorist attack. Upon my return home learin of the 'tempest in the tea pot,' I began to make a search for the cause. "Thus far I have found but one colored person to justify the caption of your editorial, entitled, 'Inconsistency of Greensboro citizens,' and I am glad to say that he is talking for and represents no one else but himself in The Record's supposed interview with 'influential Negroes,' here etc." "Speaking for myself and I believe also for every sensible and thoughtful Negro who lives in Greensboro, I wish to say that I do not condemn the efforts of every Northern Negro who is making a contention for the rights guaranteed them and their Southern brethren by the constitution of the United States. "I do not of course approve of physical force to effect such a result, even were it possible. For we are told in Holy writ that 'they who make use of the sword perish by the sword.' That there are many striking proofs of the truthfulness of the scriptural assertion, we have only to recall the recent downfall and destruction of the tremendous power of the German Empire, which undertook to increase and perpetuate its power and influence by the swain. "The bugaboo of so-called 'Social equality,' which is very手忙手乱 flaunted in the face of ignorant or uninformed whites, by demigorgs or by newspapers of the 'yellow sheet' variety, is nothing but a subterfuge or camouflage displayed to prevent giving the Negro a square deal. "We approve of the action of every Negro in this country whether he lives in the North, South, East or West, who is making a fight for the constitutional rights of the race, by every fair and legal method of which he can make use. And any Negro who does not endorse the latter program is not worthy of any rights which he has in the leges which he now enjoys. Even the white man, who is now striving to deprive us of our rights, would inwardly say "amen" to the last assertion." INTERNATIONAL Y. M. C. A. MOVES TO NEW YORK (Continued from First Page) has been laid in, firm and dope, the case is ready to take on worldwide proportions. The remarkable enlargement of the work, it is found, requires frequent consultation between heads of departments, and this necessity for a closer point of contact with all the forces that must enter into the system, has led to the concentration of our labors at the work of the World. In thus weaving into its main fabric the whilom Negro annex there is no question in my mind that the Y. M. C. A. has taken an advance step as a great Christian organization." It is understood that the change described refers only to the Washington office, and will not affect the status of the Atlanta office, which will be maintained intact under the direction of Secretaries John B. Watson and R. T. Weatherby. Dr. Moorland will have associated with him in the New York office International Secretaries C. H. Tohlas, R. P. Hamlin, H. K. Craft and Robert B. DeFranzt (the latter in war work), together with an adequate staff atographers, clerks and assistants, the cost may be added, the circumstances may require. In the western and southwestern field, with location of office yet undetermined, will be Secretary William C. Craver, and others to be named later. Dr. Moorland took occasion to commend in unstinted terms the unwavening loyalty of the many secretaries recruited through his office, and cheerfully acknowledged his indebentness to their constant and united support for the success achieved by his department in the war crisis. He proudly called attention to the fact that not one of them failed, under the severest tests, and has placed in F. C. Carter, Chief Secretary, A. E. F. Division, C. A., officially thanking Dr. Moorland and the splendid men and women the Deputy men and Colored Troops recruited and sent France, and saying at the close of a too highly of the distinguished service which they rendered." A significant innovation, emphasizing the liberal attitude of the Y. M. C. A., is the recent appointment of two leading colored men on the International Committee at large—the first time the race has been honored with membership in this "inner council" of the organization. The men designated for this important service are Dr. Robert R. Morton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La. The selections are regarded as eminently satisfactory. WITH THE SOLDIER BOYS IN WASHINGTON (Continued from First Page) advantage of these opportunities. John W. Lewis, President of the Industrial Savings Bank, pointed out the importance of our young men entering into the business and commercial world. He showed them wherein the economical success of the race depended upon them and that they must make every effort to advance themselves to a higher plane. Mr. Wissman, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, advised the boys of their religious obligations; to keep themselves clean and morally fit at all times; to attend church services whenever possible and to make a name for themselves, thereby giving valuable assistance in the uplift of the community. Mr. Low, in charge of boys activities; gave a short talk concerning the work being done and the things he expected to do. Mr. Wells, also of the War Camp Community Service, gave a brief outline of the many things being accomplished in the work. Claude Ames led a chorus in folk-song, which was greatly applauded. G. R. F. Key sang a solo, after which Mr. Laney, an ex-soldier, gave an exhibition of yodling that brought forth much applause. Mr. Laney also did some fancy stunts in clog dancing. The evening's program closed with a wrestling match by two good men. Washington and Spicer, which was won by the former. There was plenty to smoke, the cigars and cigarettes being donated by the Women's Organization. Mrs. Dent, Chairman of the Women's Organization, served hot coffee and sandwiches, donated by friends interested in this work. On Friday evening Mrs. Layton chaperoned about 25 of Washington's leading young ladies down to the Washington barracks, where they entertained and danced with the soldier boys stationed there. And the very next night the Community House was the scene of a big dance for the military men. GETS $2.00 WORTH WEEKLY.
