But it is Most Cherished Literary Distinction To Be Won in France—Deals With African Life Paris France—The most distinguished literary award of the year, the "Prix Goncourt," goes to a young Negro writer, Rene Marin, author of the novel, "Batouala," which deals with native life in Central Africa, the race problem and aspirations of the Negro, and is a bitter satire on Western civilization. Although the value is only 5,000 francs, this is one of the most cherished and desired literary awards in France. It was founded by the Academy Concourt to commemorate the name and work of the Concourt brothers.

His book, "Batignale," about which there is certain to be a hard discussion in a study of an African chant, Batignale, to whose regards Europeans have come with their images their wonderful inventories and their evil ways. The book is not peculiar all, and the author has been careful as he portrays in his preface, to suppress reflections which could be attested to him and would not hit his characters for the Negroes of Central Africa as it has given to reflection. His own reflections, the author expresses in the preface, and denounces unpleasant facts committed by French and other European administrations in Africa. The novel, however, tells a similarly different story. Instead of dealing with the evil part the whites show without pretensions the negro crimes and almost horrific acts of the native in which the white race moves. In that respect it is not a cheap book but it is both intriguing and written in a very attractive and comical style which will command the French readers. Martin has written this book over verse also.

AID IS ASKED FOR OLD GOLD STAR MOTHER (Special to The New York Age) (Special to The New York Age) White Plains, N. Y. An appeal is being made by Mrs R. Emmett Digney, national president of the American War Mothers, in behalf of White Plains' oldest gold star mother, a colored woman nearly one-hundred years old, whose sole support is the government cheque for $20 which has been coming to her since her son, Private James Drumgold, was killed in the front line trenches while serving with the 15th New York Infantry under Captain Cobb. Drumgold was his mother's only support, but he married just before going overseas and had become the father of a child when he died. The insurance that he had went to his wife who returned to her southern home where she afterwards died. In the meantime the mother made an effort to secure a home, and with $225 she had managed to save she purchased a lot in Manhattan Park, for $300, giving a mortgage for the difference of $75. She secured some old lumber and intended erecting a house so she could have her own home, but rhinotamia developed and she had not been able to get out to work. Her only income, in addition to the $30 monthly received from the government, which pays her rent, is a few amount, which pays her rent, is a few dollars received for washing. This she has been deprived of recently through rheumatic disability. Now the mortgage of $75 on her lot is about to be foreclosed and she is without funds with which to pay it.

RHODES WOUNDED BY 2 THUGS Patrolman Jasper Rhodes, attached to the West 135th street precinct, was shot and badly wounded Monday night by two unidentified men who were lurking in a hallway at 35 West 135th street. The officer is in Harlem Hospital with wounds in his shoulder and abdomen. Seeing the two open standing in the dark hallway, Policeman Rhodes ordered them to come out on the sidewalk. Instead of complying, one of the men drew a revolver and fired. As Rhodes fell to the pavement the two men fled through the hallway and are believed to have escaped either, through the backyard or by way of the roof.

The result is that they CASH IN on the influence they are supposed to have upon the "FARMERS", rather than upon their following among the CAVE DWELLERS of Chicago. It is also claimed by those who are informed that this holdup game has about reached its limb and that the country voters are quietly DRAWING A RING AROUND COOK COUNTY and are working out a state plan of organization with Colonel Duncan as the leader that will make their future political exploitation impossible.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE It is a happy aftermath of the Great War that the peoples of the earth are trying to arrive at a better understanding of each other and that nations of the earth are striving for greater cooperation in all things that make for human welfare. It is not surprising, therefore, that a similar consciousness should be found among the four hundred million Negroes in the world. There is a natural desire, stimulated by the events of recent years, that Negroes in North America, in South America, in Africa and in the Islands should all want to know more of what is happening to each group—all the strivings and aspirations to be found within the several groups and to find some means of common action looking toward their improvement and advancement in every line of These four hundred million souls constitute a tremendous force in the events that are now transpiring upon the earth, a force whose influence is destined to be felt more and more as the means of communication between various parts of the world are improved and the facilities for production, manufacture and distribution are enlarged and simplified. Then, too, they promise to affect more vitally the currents of world thought and procedure as their own consciousness of their power, and resources develops and they become alive to their opportunities and possibilities of world order. There is need, at this time, of wise, strong and intelligent leadership in all these various groups of Negroes, who shall, with understanding, skill and unselfishness, direct the footsteps of their brethren who are groping their way out of darkness toward a light that grows brighter and brighter with each succeeding year. They must be taught to be skillful, efficient and reliable—those who work, for others and those who direct their own affairs and play an independent part in the activities of industry and commerce that surge around about them. The Negro has not yet been entirely dispossessed of his natural claim to a share in the world's doings. In spite of the despoiling hand of adventurers and exploiters in all parts of the world, there is still left to the race in all parts of the world some foothold upon the soil, whose resources await skillful development by their rightful owners to whom they will yield wealth and happiness for multitudes of human souls. At the same time, these four hundred million Negroes, whose future lies ahead of them, bright with possibilities and promise, will fail to their ultimate and highest good if somehow they do not discover the way to a vital, effective and honorable cooperation with other races of men with whom they come into ever enlarging contact. The time is not yet, if ever it will be that any group of mankind can have a long-continued and successful development without affecting cordial and reciprocal cooperation with other races of then. The world has just witnessed the explosion of two ideas with which men have in the past been strongly obsessed; for one, that any single nation or group of people can long dominate the rest of the human family; the other, that nations and races of the earth can single-handed overcome the difficulties which nature oppose to their advancement, or the weaknesses and perversities of human nature thrust forward to, hinder their progress. This much the dominant race of the world have been forced to consider at a terrible cost of blood and money toward which the darker races have been made to pay their share. It were incredible folly if the less favored people of the earth should deliberately and blindly rush into a similar catastrophe, having trailed to profit by the mistakes of others. Mankind is challenged anew to a belief in the efficacy of that gospel of peace and good-will which this season has been bringing for nearly two thousand and years. Certainly there is need for such a faith. The homes and lives of myriads of suffering human families cry out for a leadership that believes not only in justice, in freedom and brotherhood, but in good will, in faith, in righteousness as the means to achieve that goal. If ever human events can prove the futility of hatred, of enmity, of bitterness, of strife, the history of the world for the past decade has given us that proof. That man, that nation, that race is wise that benefits by this dreadful example. And of all the people of the earth, these four hundred million Negroes, scattered in every country and time, have most to benefit and least to lose in heeding that lesson. RAHWAY'S OLDEST WOMAN DEAD AT 106 Rahway, N. J.—Miss A. M. Voorhies, the oldest resident of the city, died on last Tuesday evening at the residence of Miss Rebecca Voorhies, of 224 East Grand street.

Mother Zion Church The sermon of the 11 o'clock service Sunday, December 18th, was preached by Bishop J. S. Caldwell. The weather was most favorable indeed for church attendance and the church was full to overflowing. This day marked the close of the great financial effort in which the members have been engaged to secure funds to be used in the erection of the proposed new church. Bishop Caldwell used as his subject, "The Building of a finished Builder." In the delivery of the sermon the speaker elaborated extensively on the necessity of exercising faith in the ability of the builder. The character of the sermon was appropriate to the occasion. The bishop greatly encouraged the members by relating some of the great successes that have been achieved through the exercise of faith combined with work. The sermon was delivered with animation and was very inspiring. At the conclusion there were a number of accessions to the church. The Sunday-school convened at the usual hour. The attendance was indeed good for this season of the year. Those who give the best service in the work of the church receive their training in the Sunday-school.

ACID IN STOMACH CAUST INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourname and Pain How To Treat Medical authorities state that nearly nineteenth of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, blasting nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any drugstret a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. Gov. Morrison of North Carolina Makes Address To Colored Citizens (Special to The New York Age.) Tarboro, N. C.-Governor Morrison was invited here to address the delegates and ministers of the A. M. E. Zion Church conference and the teachers of Edgeworth county.

He then presented Mr. Hart, who was asked to introduce the Rev. T. W. Thurston, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. Zion Church. In his preliminary remarks, Mr. Hart declared that he was glad to stand before this assembly of colored people, most of whom he knew personally. He was glad his lot had been cast among the colored people of Edgecombe, and made an appeal to the preachers and teachers to live exemplary lives before the people. Introducing Rev. Tourston, the speaker said that he had watched the minister for a long time and believed him to be an educated and Christian gentleman. Sunday, December 18th, was a great day at the Union A. M. E.

MINTOL will also be used for the mustard plasters with which they think the plasters are appropriate to allow the vascular system from the MINTOL to be secured.

Despite the fact that in many lines of employment wages have been reduced, and the high cost of living has suffered a slight decline, the complaint is still common that rents are higher in proportion than they should be. This is not altogether, or in every case, the fault of the property owner or the landlord. In many cases where the houses or apartments have been leased to a tenant at a reasonable rental, the tenant has rented apartments or single rooms at an advance on the rate he is paying, which makes the operation a veritable cost of living. For instance, we are told, that apartments that apparently rented for $80 and $20 are now made to bring in $175, those that formally rented for $45 are now bringing in $100. The tenants in turn rent rooms at ten dollars and fifteen dollars a week. Thus the pyramiding of profits proceeds, with the unfortunate who is obliged to shed shelter of some sort for his or her head, putting the latter part of his income in the single item of housing. Of course it is the strictity of housing accommodation that makes such prohibiting possible, coupled with the long established restrictions that have limited the Negro in his choice of localities in New York. Then again, there is the indisposition on the part of many to seek accommodations outside of a certain restricted territory, which helps to make it limited choice a permanent condition in the zone where the greatest number of the race are located. The only remedy for this condition seems to be to be in the attition of a alive and let her policy by both owners and tenants unless resource is taken to the cause, which is not always expedient or effective. The owner is entitled to a final make return on his investment, to net him at least from eight to twelve per cent after paying taxes and overall expenses and necessary repairs. There should be a reasonable adjustment between tenant and landlord on an equitable basis, which would give the latter a living income from his property and at the same time not squeeze the last dollar from the rent payer. As to their tenants who gauge their sub-tenants to such an approving degree, the same policy should be made to apply. If they are not willing to moderate their demands to a figure consistent with the rate they are paying themselves, a method should be devised to bring them to reason. The rent project is trading in a total necessity of the people and has practice of extortion should be abolished. MAKING CHRISTMAS GIFTS. The making of Christmas petters is a practice followed by custom, which is so prideful or those as well as proper and appropriate observance. Many people make their petters from a sense of duty, while others indulge in the custom only when circumstances favor and the spirit moves them to such a demonstration. For the children such an observance is always in order, and it is a sad community which forgets the children's stocking on the eve of this holiday. A notable feature of the day in Harlem will be the Christmas dinner to be furnished to one thousand poor children by the members of the "Shuffle Along" company, the all-colored musical combination which has been playing with so much acceptance in this city for several months. This exhibition of the true Christmas spirit in looking after those whose Christmas might otherwise fail to be filled with holiday cheer, is greatly to be commended. The fact that this dinner is to be given at the West 135th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association suggests the thought that the Central Board of this organization have it in their power to make a welcome Christmas gift to the colored people of Harlem. They could restore to the local organization its proper moral and requisite standard of moral conduct by making it possible for the institution to be given a proper head. A new executive secretary is required to assume the place now held by an official who has lost his usefulness and whose continuance in office can only work for the further decrement of the branch. A suitable Christmas present for the 3. M. C. A. would be a man of character and capacity to fill the post of secre- rary. Perhaps our good friend, Dr. J. E. Manning, might please come. COST OF CONVENTIONS One of the phases of the extreme output of energy and expense, with the minimum of practical results to compensate therefor, is the ceaseless round of conventions called and held in the name of the Negro race. The chief beneficiaries of this convention craze are the railroads who rake in the fares and the hotel and boarding house keepers who derive some return from the feeding and lodging of the delegates. Sometimes a hall owner may profit by furnishing the forum for debate, but in most cases the hospitality of some religious organization is readily accepted. The goal of most of these needless and fruitless conventions has been for a long time at the National Capital. To meet in Washington, in sight of the White House, to orate and ululate, to resolve in a series of fourteen or more points, perhaps to gain a hearing before the occupant of the Presidential chair, and the professional convention boomer has fulfilled his mission. A favored few may expand the convention trip into a lecture tour, with personal profit to themselves at the expense of the members of the organization. Nothing more has been accomplished than what could have been done through a meeting in the communities represented by the delegates and a direct appeal through their representatives in Congress. In fact the latter method would be more likely effective in producing results, as being in the nature of an appeal from the constituents to whom the representative is answerable. It would cut out the needless expense of railroad fares and delegates' expenses, and prevent a few individuals from posing as anointed leaders in their wanderings around the country. One trouble is that there are too many organizations claiming as their own and object to the salvation of the Negro besides the National Equal Rights leagues, African Blood brotherhoods, Remedial Legislative committees and what nots, there is Garvey's Universal Improvement society with its visionary scheme for African redemption and severely practical plan for selling stock at ten dollars per. The real work of proper and practical race propaganda could be better accomplished through some one organization like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has the best existing machinery for fighting injustice and discrimination and contending for the full measure of civil and political rights. The National Negro Business League has another need for intensive endeavor in the furtherance of business enterprise among the rate. The special mission of the National Urban League is the proper adjustment of the Negro to city life, with reference to economic, hygienic and educational conditions. If the energy and money that are wasted in miscell and unprofitable convention movements, could be concentrated in supporting the three organizations named above, more practical results could be expected. The Advancement society should be backed up in establishing our civil and political right, the business League in the stimulation of commercial enterprises and the Urban League in the improvement of economic and social conditions. Out out the unproductive convention erase and support the practical working organizations. Such a course might put a few graffters out of business but the race as a whole would benefit. NO CASES FOR DR. LORENZ. It was announced last week in one of the daily papers, that not a single Negro child had been presented to the Health Department examiners for admission to Dr. Lorenz's clinic. Dr Adolf Lorenz is a famous surgeon who came here from Vienna in order to practice his methods of bloodless surgery in the curing of the crippled and detained. Oyster twenty years ago he came on a special errand to be form an operation of that sort on the young daughter of a Chicago millionaire, for which he received a handsome fee. His present trip was of a different nature, his purpose being to relieve as much suffering as possible through his specialty, as an expression of gratitude for the American relief extended to the starving children of Austria. Much of this work has been performed recently under the auspices of the New York Health Department, in the way of consultation, as Dr. Lorenz's right to practice was questioned, without a license from the State Department of Education. Before this technical point was raised, however, he had operated upon a number of patients, with marvellous results. Referring to the absence of any Negro cases among those applying for examination, Dr. Jacob Sobel, assistant director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene, was quoted as follows: "I think this is due to the fact that infantile paralysis is relatively infrequent among Negroes. They have, however, an enormous amount of tickets or soft bones, resulting in all kinds of deformities, chiefly knuckles and bow legs. These diseases lend themselves to treatment and cure." It was reported that an effort would be made to select a case among Negroes, that would be capable of being cured through the adoption of Dr. Lorenz's methods. As the applications for examination must be made through the Department of Health, those interested should lose no time in taking the necessary steps in the matter. Dr. Lorenz's skill has been exercised in behalf of all patients, both still and gone, without the need for further treatment. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1921. IRELAND AND INDIA. as ago we referred to the efforts and in India and drew a coade by the colored people in proposed the question as to when in Ireland by the Inn Finnor in India under the direction of Gandhi. It now appears that the Irish but in a very large-measure; despite a settlement of their questionable. At the time of this writing, whether they will accept it, not yet come to India and so on that the Irish methods are likely adjusted; and, moreover, that the Irish have been of force for more than seven centuries in the least been affected by it is not in the least being swertal resistance.

Angers the streets were almost close the sentiment of the people of America that could not be doubted. Impeded violence by throwing stones still have remained doubtful the sentiment of the whole community. A whole population of the city came to the Prince of Wales or smoke in unmistakable tones. Part of the whole population was passing to the British authorities and have been. With leaders, but how was it possible to be merely refrained to take part in the Prince of Wales, and thus India. For article on this topic we said people of the United States, Gandhi movement in India and if a deep lesson in it for us, esp. We called attention particularly for many reasons, needless to which cannot be used by us. But? It seems that in many ways Negro's case in the United States colored man was arrested and his of lynching him, what would people in that community, town or at extent possible, the Gandhi, chose the men refrained from the railroad yards and wherever and that the women refused to cook a meal for any white boner and a fair trial was enacted action on the part of the candidate results, but on the part of the prospect of having to do better terror to the hearts of the Negroes were threatening with yet remains to be proved when position which Gandhi and his for overcome the material forces and has demonstrated what hisoke of the oppressor can be thrust to be interesting to watch and as to be equally effective. An new era for all of the socialled: those who cannot command local force, repeating rifles, machine guns, sub-marines and aeroplane of escape for those who are a local force and unprepared for attacks a weapon against which phys Some weeks ago we referred to the efforts for freedom being made in Ireland and in India and drew a comparison with the efforts being made by the colored people in the United States. At the time we proposed the question as to whether the methods of force being used in Ireland by the Finn Finn or the pacific methods being used in India under the direction of Gandhi would be the first to succeed. It now appears that the Irish have succeeded, not completely, but in a very large-measure; at least, they have within their grasp a settlement of their question that is far front being dishonorable. At the time of this writing, however, it yet remains to be seen whether they will accept it or not. Success has not yet come to India and so some may jump to the conclusion that the Irish methods are the more effective. It is yet too early to draw such a conclusion. The Irish situation is not yet definitely adjusted; and, moreover, it must be taken into consideration that the Irish have been intermittently using their methods of force for more than seven centuries. Gandhi has not in the least been affected by the developments in Ireland. He is not in the least being swerved from his principles of peaceful resistance. The visit of the Prince of Wales to India has brought this out sharply. During the first days of that visit there were some small outbreaks of violence. Upon these outbreaks Gandhi pronounced the strongest disapproval. He announced to his followers that he would fast until the attempts at violence ceased. These attempts quickly subsided. The British authorities themselves easily handled these attempts by immediately arresting all persons concerned with them. The real strength of the Gandhi movement was best shown on the visit of the Prince of Wales to the city of Allahabad. On that occasion the natives of the city carried out Gandhi's scheme of non-cooperation in a most impressive manner. This visit called for the outpouring of thousands of people to give the Prince a loyal welcome and if not to give a loyal welcome, to arouse at least sufficient curiosity to cause the people to line the streets to look at the heir to the throne of the great British Empire. On the contrary the streets were almost absolutely deserted. The people stayed in their home and in their shops. Except for British officials and strangers the streets were almost completely deserted. By this action the sentiment of the people of Allahabad were expressed in a manner that could not be doubted. A very few people might have attempted violence by throwing stones or discharging shots, but it would still have remained doubtful as to whether they expressed the sentiment of the whole community or not. But the action of the whole population of the city in refraining from giving any welcome to the Prince of Wales or even contributing their presence spoke in unmistakable tones. Furthermore, this action on the part of the whole population was more humiliating and more embarrassing to the British authorities than any attempt at violence could have been. With leaders of violence they could have dealt, but how was it possible to deal with a whole population which merely refrained to take part in the demonstration planned for the Prince of Wales, and thus struck a blow at British rule in India. In our former article on this topic we said that it would be well for the colored people of the United States to carefully study and watch the Gandhi movement in India and if it proved effective there would be a deep lesson in it for us, especially in the old states of the South. We called attention particularly to the Gandhi movement because for many reasons, needless to discuss the main method of the Irish cannot be used by us. But what about the methods of Gandhi? It seems that in many ways they might be adapted to the Negro's case in the United States. Suppose, for example, that a colored man was arrested and placed in jail, and there were threats of lynching him, what would be the effect if all of the colored people in that community, town or city, put into practice, to the fullest extent possible, the Gandhi principles of non-cooperation? Suppose the men refrained from their work in shops, on buildings, in the railroad yards and wherever their labor touched the whites, and that the women refused to wash a garment or clean a house or cook a meal for any white person until the safety of the prisoner and a fair trial was assured—what would be the effect? Such action on the part of the colored men might not produce immediate results, but on the part of the colored women it would; for the prospect of having to do their own work would strike greater terror to the hearts of the white ladies of the South than if the Negroes were threatening with guns. Of course it yet remains to be proved whether the more or less spiritual opposition which Gandhi and his followers are using can cope with and overcome the material forces by which Britain holds India. Ireland has demonstrated what has all along been known—that the yoke of the oppressor can be thrown off by physical force. It will be interesting to watch and see if Gandhi can prove his methods to be equally effective. And if he does, he will open up a new era for all of the socalled weaker peoples around the globe: those who cannot command the modern impliments of physical force, repeating rifles, machine guns, heavy artillery, battle ships, sub-marines and aeroplanes; it will mean that there is a way of escape for those who are at present defenceless against physical force and unprepared for aggression; it will place in their hands a weapon against which physical force will be powerless.

Kawakami, special correspondent to the Arms Conference of the "Jiji-Shimpo," one of the great newspapers of Japan, has made a very clear statement regarding the relations between Japan and China. He criticises the Chinese for their "Nagging attitude" toward Japan. He acknowledges, that in some instances Japan has been overbearing toward China and at times unjust, but the other hand that as against the European nations the interests of China and Japan are inter-dependent. He points out that they are of the same race and culture, and that if either one is to be secure they must both stand together. In our opinion Mr. Kawakami is right. China's attitude toward Japan is "nagging." Japan has sheen overbearing toward China and attimes unjust, but on the other hand it is evident that China has never sought in any way to cooperate with Japan and to have a mutual understanding with her. She has always taken the position of petitioner to the nations of Europe. I remember a conversation which I had with a Japanese during the War. He was working ostensibly as a cook in an American family, but he showed me the actual work he was doing. He was making a Japanese translation of certain American literary works for use in one of the Universities in Japan. It was about the time the Chinese delegation, following the European delegation, was visiting the United States. Among questions I asked my Japanese acquaintance "What in the purpose of the visit of the Chinese delegation to the United States?" He answered, "The Chinese are like some of your own national people in the United States." must plan to work together, but every time we do they run and tell the white folks." This remark not only gave me a side light on the Japanese-Chinese situation, but it was an amazing revelation of the insight of the Japanese as observers. POLITICAL PRISONERS. One of the most generally accepted articles in the American Credo is that in the United States citizens have greater political rights and freedom than citizens in any other country in the world. It seems that the great war should have shattered this belief, but it did not do so to any great extent. During the war there was less freedom of speech permitted in this country than in England or in France or, even in Germany, for that matter. The system of espionage in the United States was stricter and more relentlessly carried out than in any country engaged in the war. We doubt that it was surpassed even by the Rusian Police system of monarchial Russia. One of the most generally Credo is that in the United States rights and freedom than citizens. It seems that the great war she it did not do so to any great less freedom of speech permitted or in France or, even in German espionage in the United States, carried out than in any country that it was surpassed even by archial Russia. Men were arrested and con opinion that they were against who criticised conscription and doubt that the Germans were propaganda were handled likewise.

The President under consideration. Last week adverse report on the cases of less, it is entirely within the peclemency. While he is consider prisoners he should reconsider soldiers. Men were arrested and convicted because they expressed the opinion that they were against the war and against all wars. Men who criticised conscription and profiteers, or who expressed a doubt that the Germans were as bad as they were painted by propaganda were handled likewise. After from three to four years, many of these men are still in prison, Eugene Debbs being the most conspicuous of them all. As yet none of the efforts made for their release have succeeded. Great pressure is being brought to bear upon the President and the Department of Justice to have these prisoners liberated by Christmas time. There is no reason why this should not be done. Contrast the act of England with that of the United States. During the war and since, England has been arresting and holding in prison Irishmen who not only opposed the war, but who engaged in actual warfare against England. On the signing of the Irish agreement, England immediately liberated several thousand of these prisoners. That may be put down as a political stroke, but it is a good one, and such a stroke would be equally as good for the United States. And while the President is considering the liberation of these political prisoners he should consider the former members of the 24th Infantry, imprisoned at Leavenworth, charged with the rioting in Houston, Texas, in 1917. The facts regarding the cases of these men are too well known for reiteration. Whatever acts that they may have committed were acts to which they were goaded by treatment which was humanely unendurable. A short while ago a delegation of colored citizens presented to the President a petition with fifty thousand signatures, asking for executive clemency for those men. The President promised to take the matter under consideration. Last week the Secretary of War made an adverse report on the cases of the men of the 24th, but nevertheless, it is entirely within the power of the President to exercise clemency. While he is considering the release of the political prisoners he should reconsider the cases of those colored ex-soldiers. METHODISTS AND DANCING. Frequent reference has been made in these columns to the rigid church discipline maintained by Negro Methodists and Baptists in the matter of amusements. Dancing and attending the theatre have been among the prohibited diversions, with the result that the younger generation are either barred from membership or else ignore the prohibition. Efforts to relax the discipline have so far been unsuccessful, although a more liberal sentiment in favor of such a course finds expression among both clergy and laity. The latest clerical advocate of a less strict interpretation of the Methodist Church rules against dancing is Dr. Harry Knight Muller, pastor of the Hamon Place Methodist Episcopal Church, Brooklyn. Dr. Muller wrote a letter to the chairman of a dancing teachers conclave, in which he declared his belief that actors or dancing instructors, if Christian and gentlemen, should be admitted to the membership of any church in which bigotry and prejudice do not hold away. He referred to the amusement paragraph in the rules of the Methodist Church as objectionate and said that its author, the late Dr. A. E. Ballard, had intercepted it as a protest only against unclean and indecent forms of amusement. He wrote further: "The amusement paragraph has been retained as successive General Conferences, because of the solid note of Negro delegates from our mission churches in the South. Enlightened and progressive Methodists refuse to have their conscience dictated to and the male of their social recreation prescribed by the Negro members of our church." This constitutes a rather severe indictment of those Negro members of the Methodist Church, who have preserved such a stern front against the relaxation of the rules against dancing and the theatre. According to Dr. Miller, they are neither enlightened nor progressive in their views. We would like to hear from Dr. Wm. H Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, New York, and the editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, as to this phase of the question. The Goncourt prize for the best French novel of the year was formerly valued at 10,000 francs in money, but its literary value is much greater. Last year it was awarded to Ernest Perachon, the author of "Nene," which was published in Munsey's Magazine under the title of "Madeleine." This year the winner of the award is Rene Marin, a member of the Negro race from Martinique, employed in the French Colonial service in Central Africa. His book which won the prize, is "Batonaala," a study of an African chief. Who will translate it into English? An Atlanta special to the New York Times said that the Ku Klux Klan is practically bankrupt, according to an affidavit made by Z. R. Upcich, one of the leaders of the Atlanta Klan, who is fighting to depose Edward Young Clarke, Imperial Klings, and his prosecution in business, Mrs. Linda Beth Tyler. The affidavit says that the Klan may have been involved in the bankrupt any accepted articles in the American States citizens have greater political rights in any other country in the world should have shattered this belief, but not extent. During the war there was acted in this country than in England many, for that matter. The system of law was stricter and more relentlessly engaged in the war. We doubt the Rusian Police system of more convicted because they expressed the war and against all wars. Men and profiteers, or who expressed the war as bad as they were painted by wise, years, many of these men are still the most conspicuous of them all, ade for their release have succeeded right to bear upon the President and have these prisoners liberated by reason why this should not be done with that of the United States.

This may all be so, or it may merely be a smoke screen to disarm an attack. In such an emergency, Col. Simmons, the so-called "Imperial Wizard," pleads illness and takes to the woods. Discussing the Inter-Racial Conference held recently in Louisville, the Danville Torchlight pronounced it a great success, saying: There were over two hundred men and women of the races from all parts of the state present, and noted publicity from other states. The subjects discussed were of vital importance, and were treated in a most practical and helpful manner. The report of the findings committee dealt with the things essential to the amicable relations between the races. The salient points emphasized were that there should be proper understandings between the races; justice should be equally meted out to all without regard to race or conditions; that every community should seek its own development. The fact that these conferences lead to a better knowledge of each race on the part of the other is a hopeful feature of this movement. In enforcing the Christmas injunction, "Remember those about you," the Charleston New Era said: The New Era takes pleasure in presenting to those of our friends and readers who are desirous of "brightening somebody's corner," the colored division of the Salvation Army who under the efficient supervision of Capt. Armstrong, has done much to alleviate suffering among our group. The results obtained in the past warrant whatever support our friends will give. We assure those who are disposed to contribute that the needy and worthy people are reached by this division. Give! Let's make every person in Charleston feel the spirit of Christmas. "He that gives to the poor, lendeth to the Lord." This shows the widespread work of the Salvation Army, which teaches that while a man may be down, he is never The Kansas City Call directs attention to a racial attitude of "standing in our own light," in the following pointed manner: The road of Kansas City Negroes, more than all else, is a feeling of responsibility for community betrayment. Three events in the past few weeks have emphasized that and have paralyzed our friends and left us helpless and ashamed at our own failure. First came the failure of the colored voters to recognize their day of opportunity when a Negro run upon an elective ticket. Next was the failure of the same voters to be enough interested in their own welfare to vote for a better hospital to save their own lives. Last was the failure to rally to charity. No sophistry will save us. No apologies can lift one bit of the blame that is unfairly cursed that we leave to other men the doing what is particularly our own duty. Three features such as the above should enhance the capacity for special handling. A large pane should be opened and a higher gauge provided. years, with 20,000 members in Texas according to the San Antonio Star it says: The striking success of the drive here and elsewhere, in which least five thousand new inmates be added to the order show that less methods pay and that more colored people are demanding something more than fuss and fears. This is a good indication as fewer feathers are not a substantial foundation for success of any kind. A Washington district in the Postmaster General. Have recently a check for $500.

A notice of official recognition in court and graft on the part of an attorney in the government. Such recognition has been too rare in the past. What is termed a great innovation by the Des Moines Browns is the fact that the entire proceeds of an entreatment given by the Daughters of La are used for charity. It adds: The time has come when Judge and other organizations are awakening to the fact that their duty extends beyond their membership. The poor also may be lifted up. In many many cases children of poor parents are prevented from going to school because their parents cannot possibly provide proper clothing for them. The provision, of suitable clothing, such cases, so that these children may not lose the benefits of schooling we seem to be a worthy charity. The tension of organization work in such directions is a sign of progress. The Mobile Weekly Press indulged the following outspoken expression concerning Congressional inactivity. While the Peace Conference is working out its plans in Washington, we several foreign representatives present Negroes are being lynched by mob in several Southern towns.

The Booster is the name of a mindful publication which is styled the official magazine of the Boosters Club Buffalo, N. N. In the issue of December 9, we find this statement: There are 7,000 Negroes in Buffalo fully half of whom are in dire straits because of lack of work. Henry L. Lewis told officers of the Commonwealth club at a dinner in the Iraqis' night. Those Negroes, he said, ask in employment rather than charity. Miss Clara L. Payne, visitor in a daily welfare department of the public welfare bureau, concurred with Lew saying that the public does not realise the need among the Negroes because few of them apply for charity. This is a large percentage of unemployment to be reported in such a centre as Buffalo. It is encouraging to find members of the race taking active measures to counteract it by seeking employment for those put out of work. According to the Philadelphia Times, colored business men and women in the city are subjected to a system of black mail, "carried on by a gang of intelligent men and women, who use them to extort money and other valuables or siderations from those conducting legitimate business enterprises." Their operations are explained as follows: To carry out their purpose, they take into their confidence a number of individuals of more or less intelligence, we for years have been known to "character about town," with no visit means of support. With the assistance of these men, the blackmailers make investigations and pry deep into the private and public affairs of their private victims, who in turn, are supposed to "come across handsomely" to check "defarious conspiracy" formed against them and paraded before their eyes in a threatened public exposure or on offense against routine business rule or the morale of the community. This is a serious accusation, and warranted by the facts, it demands no treatment. Only a determined star and resistance by the victims of the blackmail can end it. The longer the blackmail is permitted to go unpulsible, greater its exactions become. It is a better to fight it at the start.

The one instrumental number of the evening was that given by Hall Johnson, violinist. This young man has a distinguished intellectual heritage, being a son of the late Rev. Dr. W. D. Johnson, who served for a number of years at Allen University, Columbia, S. C., and who lived at Athens, Ga. Mr. Johnson, one of the young school of musicians, is doing melitorious and deserving work, not only as a player but as a composer. Several of his songs have charm and attractiveness and he has composed a suite for string quartet that has attracted much attention. He played two compositions, Raffa's "Marcia" and Makez's "Gypay Dance." There was a flexibility of bowing and a precision in tone quality that made his playing a delight. Interpretation is one of this young violinist's outstanding characteristics and in this particular his playing of the Gypay Dance was a revelation. Broadness of tone in the slow introduction was followed with an eerie lightness of touch in the dance proper bordering on diablerie. Mr. Charlton accompanied Mr. Johnson and Mme. Jones. In the intermision between the first and second parts, W. Clinton Holloway, general manager for Mr. Wooward in the promotion of this affair, came on the stage and spoke eloquently of the work accomplished during the past thirty-one years by this singer and teacher, and then introduced him to the audience. Mr. Woodward spoke feelingly in appreciation of the tribute paid him, telling briefly of his aim and desire. Then in response to the urgent and insistent request of friends, he sang with all his old art and considerable youthful fire. "La donna e mobile" from Verdi's Rigoletto. Mr. Charlton was at the piano. The one criticism of the program is that it was too long. It might have been materially shortened without detracting either from its quality or its enjoyment.

White New Yorkers Join In Tribute To Music Master of the Race It was really a remarkable tribute which his admirera paid to the genius and reputation of Sidney Woodward, one of the greatest tenors the race has ever produced, who celebrated the thirty-first year of a distinguished musical career by presenting a group picture in a music festival at Carnegie Hall on Monday night, December 19th. The mammoth auditorium was not packed, it is bruited it was well filled when; at 8:45, the old master stepped to the conductor's desk and swung his baton over a chorus of more than fifty whose voices lifted up the strains of "Peter, go one dem bells." Mr. Woodward deserves all the honor paid him, for he was one of the first male singers of the race to strive for the higher reaches of artistic development. With an organ of rare beauty he was not satisfied until it had been trained and developed to a high degree, and then he immediately took rank as one of the best concert artists of the country. It was in the early years of his career, wellnigh thirty years ago, in fact, that I first heard Mr. Woodward sing. He came South on a concert tour and it was my good fortune to be associated with the promotion of his appearances in my home towii. MUSIC NOTES At the musical affairs given by our people in those days it was no uncommon matter to have in the audience numbers of the music loving white citizens. And at Mr. Woodward's recitals the same condition obtained. The singing of this young Negro just was a revelation to these people of the other race and the result was that they approached me with a proposition to have Woodward sing one afternoon to an exclusively white audience. These folks took the initiative and secured for the occasion the concert room in the building occupied by Thomas & Barton, one of the largest piano and music stores in the South. ROSAMOND JOHNSON MADE IROQUOIS INDIAN SUB-CHIEF Belated advises are to the effect that J. Rosamond Johnson, pianist, composer, director, at present on vaudiele tour with a company of ten performers, has been made a sub-chief of the Iroquois tribe of Indians of Caughtnawaga, Province of Quebec, the initiatory ceremonies having been performed by Chief Clear Sky on February 14th, 1920, Mr. Johnson. Indian name being "Red Star." The following is a copy of the certificate of adoption given Mr. Johnson. As a matter of record, it must be stated here that Mr. Woodward is the only colored artist who has ever appeared in that concert room. That afternoon the place was packed with the musical elite of that city and it was as clear an evidence of art piping out the color line as one is apt to discover in a lifetime. At the conclusion of his program, the people, all Southern whites, men and women, crowded around "Mr." Woodward, if you please, and were absolutely unstinted in their meed of praise. One white haired lady of dignified mien and distinguished lineage, declared in words that here all the impress of sincerity, that her only unpainted desire was to have an opportunity of hearing "Mr. Woodward in grand opera."

Monday night's program at Carnegie Hall was distinguished in several ways. It was an unusual aggregation of artists, including several of the foremost exponents of musical expression now before the public. From far Detroit came, Mme. Florence Cole Talbert, whose native ability has been enhanced by technical development until it is always sheer delight to hear her sing. Then from Boston came William H. Richardson, a baritone who is an artist always, and who on this occasion sang with a warmth and tonal color which has not been in evidence on other occasions when I have heard him. Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare of Boston played his accompaniments as she has been doing for some time past, and her work is sympathetic and satisfactory. Returns From Tour. Mrs. Lulu Robinson Jones, soprano of 124 West 100th street, solosist in Mother A. M. E. Zion Church choir has returned from six week's concert tour which covered the Middle West and South. Reports from various cities in which she sang indicates that she has added immeasurable to the popularity which has long been here where she is heard often and satisfactorily. Opening her tour at Carli, Pa. she sang in succession at Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Jackson Tenn, Montgomery and Opelika, Ala. Lazorange, Atlanta and Augusta, Ga. Orangeburg and Rock Hill, S. C. Salisbury, Greenshore and Henderson, N. C. She was given a cordial and sincere welcome when she returned to her choir duties on Sunday. Then there was another Boston singer on the program, a temperate newcomer, Mme. Ella Frances Jones, soprano. This little lady has sung in New York once or twice before, and heard her once at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. She made great impression on that first occasion and this was deepened and intensified by the beauty of her singing Monday night in Carnegie. She was a stranger to most of the audience but they were united in claiming their delight. Musically well equipped, being a virtuoso also, and intellectually of high capacity, Mme. Jones will go on and take a high place as an exponent of her chosen Dyer Returns to Mt Olivet Lorene F. Dyer returns to his former post of duty as chormaster-organist at Mr. Olivier Baptist Church. West 53d street, the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor, on January 1st. Mr. Dyer went with an aggregation tour some months ago with an aggregation went on the rocks and he had New York delayed to an extent that caused Mr. Olivet officials to employ another organist, nowwithstanding that Mr. Dyer's leave of absence was supposed to have been extended to cover the additional time. On his return to New York, Mr. Dyer accepted temporarily the sweet music work at Bethany Baptist Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. Kimball L. Warren pastor, in the meantime, Dr. Hayes and his officials proceeded to iron out the knives and so arranged that Mr. Dyer is to return to his work at Mr. Olivet, where he had been for a number of years and where he had given perfect satisfaction. Miss Maran Anderson, the youthful and extraordinary contrariate from Philadelphia, was the other visiting artist. It is hard to characterize this young woman's singing. The tendency is to try to superlative in their meanings, and yet the most glittering strings of adjectives would not fill the bill. Her's is a glittering voice and she simply has to stand up and let the wind blow pour forth, enveloping her hearers in a shroud of color. But not yet has she attained her full development, yet has there come into her song the intensity of past heartbreaking cry of emotion. When she gains this quality, Anderson will be a veritable Rachel, crying for her lost love a Delilah, charming Sanison into disclosing the secret of her strength. Washington L. King of Philadelphia was at the piano for Mrs. Talia and Miss Anderson, and his work proved him deserving of the praise which has been accorded his work in the past. among the local artists Mr. Woodward culled wisely A young woman, Nettie B. Olden, one of Mr. Wood- ward, enhanced the impression she made a year ago. Then she acted as a discovery and this year she showed both in her concert in the choruses and in the aria from "Ernani." "He willimi" that she has established her right to be con- ducted in the race's most promising artists. Another young H. C.

Since the days of Phyllis Wheatley and the elder Dumas British and French literature has received many contributions from men and women of African ancestry and, despite the longer persistence of slavery in America, our own intellectual life has known a goodly company of Negroes. Banncker added to astronomical knowledge and assisted in the laying out of the national capital; Aldridge attained an honored place on the European stage when the stage of his own country was barred against him; Frederick Douglas, Blanche K. Bruce and Booker T. Washington served their day and generation well in public and in private life. Many other names will readily occur in addition to those of equal worth borne by men now living. "Perhaps the most interesting feature of M. Marin's achievement is, however, the fact that it is, as already intimated, largely a study of Negro psychology in its most primitive and savage forms. Many Negro writers have produced—as did Dumas—works bearing no special relation to their own race, unless either historian or pleas for justice. Thus the late George W. Williams wrote probably the best of all histories of the Negro race in America. "Dut the Concourt prize winner at Lake Tchad, in his African novel "Batouala," gives a realistic disclosure of the intimate life of the uncivilized tribes of the Soudan; doing for the primitive Negro what the founder of the prize which he now receives did for the highly sophisticated Parisians. "That in his preface he excoriates white administrators in Afrika for their crimes against the blacks, and in the romance itself pillories the blacks for their savageries betokens an impartial and philosophical mind such as more than one white writer on race problems might well imitate." Blue Circle Notes. A most interesting meeting was held by Blue Circle-Lect. No. 20, Sunday afternoon, December 8th, at St. Phillips Church, Staten Island, of which Rev. Bapton is pastor. Rev. H. H. Proctor was the principal speaker, Unit No. 20 had prepared an enjoyable program. Those who took part were Mrs. Anne Henry, Miss Lucile Brown, Mrs. Claudia Smith and Miss Ilenen DeHart. Other speakers were Mrs. H. A. Hunt, who spoke beautifully of the service rendered in the Fort Valley, Ga., community and school by the Blue Circle public health nurse, and Miss Belle Daisy, who told briefly of the work of The Circle. After the installation of officers a good collection was taken by Rev. Bapton, and given Unit No. 20. The following officers were elected for 1921: Mrs. Ellen Daisy, Chairman; Miss Gladys Turner, secretary; Miss Mabel Butterfield, treasurer. Mrs. Hunt and Miss Davis were invited to remain over to dinner by Mr. and Mrs. McCoy and to speak at Shiloh A. M. E. Zoon Church in the evening. Rev. VanPelt and his members are planning a meeting for Miss Davis in the early New Year. A Christmas bag has been sent Miss Dessie Hawes, Blue Circle nurse at Palatka, Florida. The health center there is now completed and is being furnished by friends interested in the health movement of the Circle. Those who contributed were Unit No. 2 Williambridge, sheets and pillow cases; Mrs. F. P. Roberts, pillow cases; Dr. E. P. Roberts, silver knives and fork; butter knife and sugar spoon; Mrs. J. E.

"Jesus is the supreme genius in the realm of intellect, the noblest soul in the realm of character, and the most potent figure in the realm of action"—this will be the theme of the Christmas sermon by Dr. Henry Hack Presley as he brings to a climax the series of sermons he has been giving for the last two months on "Men of yesterday, Tuesday and Tomorrow." The Atlanta University pageant, The Open Door, will be given under the auspices of the Men of Nazareth at the Academy of Music, Friday evening, February 10, 1922, and a record breaking attendance is anticipated. Miss Ruth Jones, 194 Brooklyn avenue, united with the church at the morning hour. Collections for the day were $176.00. Special preparations are being made for Christmas Day Services, which will be as follows. 11 a. m—Christmas sermon by the pastor "Jesus Only" 0:45 p. m—Annual Christmas concert by the Sunday School. 8 p. m—Christmas song service by the Nazareth choir. The choir will be assisted at the morning hour by Mrs. Bertha Bailey of Oklahoma, and Ernest Morgan, who will give a cornet selection. The annual Christmas tree of the School will be given Monday evening. The pupils of the Lincoln Mission will be guests of the School. Much regret is expressed that the Lincoln Mission, of which Mrs. Blackman has been superintendent for over twenty years, is to be closed. Mrs. Blackman, who has been a real mother to the community, goes South, and her work will be taken up by workers from the Nazarene Church. Rev.

HOWARD PLAYERS GIVE "SIMON," THE CYRENIAN" (Special to The New York Times) Washington, D. C. - An audience composed largely of distinguished visitors here attending the Armament Conference witnessed the presentation by Howard Players of "Simon," the Cyranian in university chapel on December 11th. There were present representatives of all the nations taking part in the conference, and there were also present prominent authors, artists, musicians and others from all parts of the world. The British delegation included Sir John Jordan of the Indian Empire, Loring C. Christie of Canada Senator G. F. Pearce of Australia, Rt. Hon. Shinavasa Sastry of India, and Sir Hubert Llewellyn Smith. Japan was represented by Constr. Lieut. Com. Y. Tato of the Imperial Navy, Mrs. Yushiwi Taji, Paymaster Lieut. Com. D.

The Ridgley Tortrance play was given a strong presentation by the following cast: Helen Webb as Procila; Otte Graham as Acte; Horace Scott as Drusus; Henry Osney as Pattier; Frazier Miller as Barrackus; Hareld Bledoe as the Cenurion; Julian Evans as Longinus; John Broadax, Alston Burleigh and August Tortrance as the Markers; Eltona Mellette, Roberta Dabney, Portia Whitted, Olivia Tauley, Alberta Epps, Drethy Gilman, Ethel Jones and Manne Neal as Attendants; William Greene and J Hoffman as Legionnaires. Dett's "Igha" was danced by Otte Graham, the composer at the parade, and the University chorus under R. W Tubb, sang Negro Spirals. The play was staged by L. J. Henkins, the costume, by the young ladies under direction of byron Lighner and Alma Thoune, which Aaron Fayne was stage manager and Margaret Smith was in charge of publicity. Montgomery Gregory and Mrs Marie Moore Forest, assisted by Alain Loche directed the players. eyes and ordered it changed. Of course if the Senator had not been "looted at the General, he would not have known that the General was lambing the Senator." "Southern blood," as Senator Watson boists it, is still arrogant, as at the days of pre-Civil War and Reconnaissance missions. But the arrogantism is not the same as the arrogance in the blood." Frederick Doughnell could tell you. It is the master and slave idea. Only men who lord it over men can be so spoiled. Iresponsible power, over one's fellows would rule the souls of archangels. The slave-owner ways to grown men and women "Come!" and they must come. "God and only must go and so intolerance and arrogance are incubated in his very blood." The son of a slaveholder may be just as arrogant, especially when he can stunt and unhinder among the half-free descendants of those slaves. In Washington, D. C., we saw with our own eyes a middle-aged colored lawyer and a well-known Negro colleague professor were sitting on an electric car, which had long side seats, so that the passengers on each side were facing each other. Two young white men came in, with just a bit of whisky in them, and took seats opposite the two colored men. After staring at the coated men as if they were out of place, one of the white men jumped up and gestured toward his hip pocket, threatening to shoot the professor for "looking at me—like that," and added, by way of explanation, "We are from Virginia." Some of the inhabitants of fool's paradise would question our honesty if we told them that the colored people of the South are just beginning to acquire the right to look into the face of the more pevish part of its white population, and that many a Negro has been launched for mere "looking." They describe it in the press despatches as "impudence." Impudence is an undefined and indeterminate thing: to whether one seems "impudent" to you depends much upon your own state of mind at the time. You cannot have good manners so long as you have people around you whom you can impose on with impunity. You must, in a measure, find it necessary to have consideration, regard and respect for others. If a child were being brought up among people who seemed always to be afraid of it, the youngster would grow into a little hard-backed monster, worse than Nero or Henry VIII, for they did have to subordinate themselves in their earlier touch to their tyrant predecessors. Alast. the mole "Southern blood cannot escape from the power of this Negro. Even the passive black men tools in manners and make it do rash things. In the days of anti-slavery debates, this spooled Southern autocracy, strutted through the halls of Congress, and swore that it would have its own way law or no law. And in the days of Summer and Stevens it took hickory, sticks, and heat the heads of those whom it could not heat in debates. The necessity for respecting others is one of the best aids to character is to come the best aids to character building; but the highest attainment of character is to come to respect others without necessity. It is the sacred duty of the Southern Negro to begin to render the necessary trust aid in reforming the character of his Southern white people. New York N. Y.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS "Dally News" and "American" Take up Case of Colored Boxers "Dally News" and "American" Take up Case of Colored Boxers The New York "Daily News," a paper less than five years of age, has had such rapid growth that it has aroused the envy of William Randolph Hearst's "American," and the Hearst papers are making a determined effort to kill off the circulation of the Daily News." The "American" has added a pictorial section and endeavoring to go the "News one better on everything it undertakes to do. When the "News" began to write about the possibility of a Dempsey-Wills fight, we expected to see the "American" take up the case of the Negro boxer, not because it has any particular-regard for the Negro fighter or the Negro race, but simply to outdo its competitor. So Damon Runyon, the sport editor of the "American," rises in defense of the colored fighter in a strong editorial, and for once tells the truth about colored boxers. He says in the "American" on Tuesday, December 20th— THE BLACK MAN'S PRIDE OF RACE. One of our contemporaries, discussing the possibilities of a match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight, makes this astonishing statement: "A Title Means Little To a Negro. Dollars Mean Much More." It seems to us that this statement is at once outrageous and cruel. It seems to us that this statement is at least contemptuous and cruel.

Chicago, Ill—Harry Newman has raised a pugilistic question that never may be answered satisfactorily. Mr. Newman is a boxing authority of long standing. The only thing that would keep him from a boxing contest would be death or a broken leg or two. Newman wants to know this: Should Jack Dempsey (white) meet Harry Wills (colored for the heavyweight championship of the world?) Mr. Newman contends that Dempsey is not in reality the world's champion because he has not met and defeated Wills, who appears to be the high potentate among the Negro boxers. Mr. Newman concedes that Jack is the white heavyweight champion. He maintains that Wills is Negro heavyweight champion. Were the question of matching the two men put directly up to the fans there would be a flood of answers, and the chances are there would be about a 50-50 break on the feasibility of such a contest. During the last ten years there has been a tendency to avoid mixed matches. We would not be far off if we stated that it was due to the personal actions of Jack Johnson. We are not taking one whit of glory from that man as a fighter, for he could fight when he wanted to fight. The money and the prestige that went with the championship unfortunately turned the big fellow's head. The consequences was that by his actions he hurt the progress of the pugilistic game and injured the standing of his race. But why visit the site of one man on all his fellows? Because Jack Johnson was a bad actor, is that any reason Willis would follow in his footsteps? We have had some mighty poor specimens of white fighters, but all white fighters are not bad.

LAFAYETTE THEATRE Those who enjoy jingle, jazz and joy, in addition to some of the funniest situations and humorous complications ever offered in musical comedy, will have their innings at the Lafayette Theatre, starting Christmas matinee, Monday, December 20th, where Conolly's Colorful Comedians will present the famous musical comedy success "Mutt and Jeff." It will be the first time that this popular musical success will be interpreted by an all-colored company. It is said that Conolly's Colorful Comedians offer a performance of pure excellence which is replete with original songs, peppy dance-sunning costumes and haunting melodies that will be whistled and hummed by the audience on their way home to the theatre. Marguerite Lee, Florence McClain, Lillian A. Russell, Tausha A. Hammad (George Braxton), Frank Montgomery, Letty Brown (String-beats), Joe Russell, Dumpee Braxton, Daisy Pazare and Bee Freeman are among the cast of players "The Jackey Jamboree." "The Foose Telling Man" "The Shimmy Wedding." "The Tale of the Maid," and twenty other jingly musical numbers have been furnished by Joseph Conolly, Richard F. Carroll, Frank Montgomery and George Braxton. The book, which is especially written for this, reduction is by Richard F. Carroll and Joseph Conolly. The story is said to give "Mutt and Jeff" ample scope to exploit their well known funnaking capabilities. Among the wealth of features offered in this sterling performance is a peppy chorus of high-steppers who possess the happy faculty of singing and dancing in infinite charm and skill. Frank Montgomery, the well known stage director, staged the many tuneful musical numbers with which the play abounds. The management wishes to announce that popular prices will prevail, during the engagement. There will be daily matinees. ATROOSEVELT THEATRE A greater sensation than the capture of a much wanted male factor was experienced by this community in the dramatic sequence of unexpected events which began with the apprehension of the clever robber who has been making life miserable for Edward Mierriott. What would be feeling of a son, who comes face to face with a man who has wronged his mother? What would be the thoughts of a man who meets one who has stolen his most cherished possessions? What embarrassments to officers of the law to be denied punching a lawbreaker? Snowy, Baker in the role of the "Shadow" in "The Shadow of Lightning Ridge" must have a charmed life to enable him to attempt the daring feats, such as jumping from a cliff onto a house and crashing to the roof to the dumb-founded astonishment of its occupants; or, leaping froor his galloping horse onto a train, and many other breathless exploits in his extraordinary utilization of pincushion life, which will be shown at the Ridgway Theatre on Christmas Eve. December 26th. There will be special Christmas music throughout Christmas Eve.

The success of the affair will probably cause it to become an annual event, and we are sure that this will stimulate more colored athletes to take part in track activities. The meet was followed by dancing, with music furnished by the 15th and 13th regimental bands. BOUTS AT 15TH ARMORY Willie Walker of the 15th Regiment was awarded the National Guard middle-weight belt at the weekly boxing show at the 15th Armory on Friday night. December 10th, when he knocked out Matty Jacob of the Naval Militia, the former holder of the belt, in the first round of a scheduled fifteen round bout. The bout was over before it was fairly started, as Jacob failed to make any showing at all against his opponent. The ten round semi-final contest between Young Kid Norfolk and Jimmie Carlson also resulted in a knockout, as Norfolk disposed of his opponent after one minute and twenty-seconds fighting in the second round. Both fighters weighed 135 pounds. Hampton, Va.—The Hampton Institute basketball quintet opened its basketball season on Friday night, December 16th, by defeating Shaw University Five by a score of 11-7. Hampton has a comparatively new team this season, and as Shaw had never defeated Hampton in basketball, she was particularly anxious to win this game. She put up a hard fight, but was unable to defeat the "Seasiders." Much interest is being shown at Hampton over the two inter-sectional games on Hampton's schedule this season. The first will be Wilberforce University at Hampton on January 7th, and the other with Morehouse at Hampton on February 18th. Special to the New York Age. Washington, D. C.-Playing at the Dunbar High School on Thursday evening, December 15th, the Holy Name Guild quintet defeated the Settler's A. C. by a score of 35 to 7. The Guild boys got away with a flying start and pitched, up a score of 20 to 4 in the first half. The Settlers came back strong in the second half, but were unable to overcome the big lead of their opponents. The brilliant work of Frazier for the Guild was the feature of the game.

"Happiness," I just know you will have a nice time Christmas, even though you are far away from us. "Buster," have you grown any smaller. I am dying to see you. I hope "Bright Eyes" is alright. When I read her letter, I thought she was hunched back from carrying baskets on Thanksgiving. "Snookums," "Billy Boy," "Bubbles," and "Moonbeams," what have you to say for yourselves? "Lotus Blossom," "Gay" has been telling me some wonderful thing about you, and as for "Chatterbox," she has completely hypnotized "Gay," "Hello," "Laughter" and "Smiles."

DEAR GIRLS: My but Santa was very kind in sending Mrs. Wog that letter concerning her young ones. I just had to write to Santa and tell him about "Chatterbox's" Xmas wishes. I heard her talking about the other night. One of her wishes might be a secret, but I must tell you, "Snookums." She wants Santa to leave something nice for a certain party, living on E. 150th street (you know). "Smiles" come to life and give me a smile I need you, dear "Smiles," for Xmas courage. You know how mischievous I have been Ha! Ha! "Snookums," do you think the boys you saw in the tube station on Dec. 3 are all the boys of Newark? I should say not. Dear "Kindness" I am waiting for the snap you promised me. "Brownie" please, forgive me. My absent slip will be disagreeable for the last of the Year, but it has been impossible for me to attend the last meetings.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY for HOMESBEKERS & INVESTORS SPECIALISTS IN HARLEM COLORED PROPERTY six years. First I will say hello to all the dear members of our column "Lotus Blossom," "Chatterbox" and, yes, that sister "Smiles" of mine, is writing this week and you know that I couldn't be left behind, even if I am the youngest "Kid Palmer" we were very glad to have you at the meeting Saturday, but next time come a little earlier. Well I suppose all the girls are preparing for the Christmas holiday as I am, "Smiles," you know, only gets industrious around this time of the year. Say "Lotus Blossoms" how are you and "Rabbit" going along? I haven't heard much about him of late since the other guy came along "Happiness." I will try to write to him in the near future. As I have nothing more to say I will close with a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all. Well, here I am back again after taking a long and much needed rest. I know you all are surprised to see a letter in the column from me. "Happiness" did you get my letter? Well, I suppose all of you girls are looking for "Santa" to bring everything. If "Santa" knows you have been good girls he might surprise all the girls you know he loves to surprise his children. I do wish all surprise his children. I do wish all the girls could see and meet all the Wonder Girls, they are just like their name only more wonderful. "Billy Boy" is as quiet as a Maltese kitten, and "Snookum" is just the opposite; just full of life. Their president, who is Miss "Gaz", is as sweet as she can be. Pit-a-pat, where are you? What's the trouble? I am going to write more often now and girls, let us all come back in full swing in the coming year and make the column more interesting. Good-hye dears. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Lovingly. "SMILES." O. I forgot, we have enough postesses. Santa, please bring all our postesses sketch books and all the necessary articles for their use. Bring "Happiness" a set of furs, box of paper and a present for each of us on her Christmas ee. For "Kid Palmer" lots of handmade yokes and a new costume for her dances. For "Scornera Paguita" some views of some of our Southern cities and a string of pearls. Bring "Little Girl" a doll and story book. "Curly" and "Orange Sport," to each of them a cameo ring and powder puff. Don't forget to bring "Atalanta" a gun. For "Willettmina" and "Kindness" boxes of linen handkerchiefs and linen paper, and, Santa be sure and bring all of our lost sisters back to us. Those whose names I did not mention, bring a box of fresh linen handkerchiefs and two pound boxes of candy. To dear "Brownie" bring everything she wants; and don't forget little "Jackie". To The Age, dear Santa, see that it is in every town or city where it has not been. I wish you all a very Merry, Merry Yuleide. Don't forget to have all stumbling blocks out of St. Nicholas' way. Just think, Christmas is almost here. I have been told that Santa watches down the chimney all of this month and sees how little boys and girls act and then he rewards them accordingly so I ain't acting my best. I also go to the store and don't frown because if I do, Santa won't bring me any toy. Dear Santa, your letter in last week paper warned me of my actions and behavior of last year and I know I will act different, this year provided "Mother" puts "Red" in another room, you know I haven't seen "Red" in a few months and I believe I would talk myself deaf, dumb and blind in my efforts to tell her all that has happened Santa, "Lotus Blossom" tried to commit suicide over to my house Sunday with my finger-nail file. She says she wants a cat with nine tails. I feel sorry for her when Mother begins so swing that cat around. "Laughter" are you going on New Year's night to the basketball game? Probably you will have another dance like the one on Nov. 24. "Lotus Blossom" what was the rush to get home Sunday night? To avoid suspicion you had better give me a definite answer. Oh! girls I know I must bring my letter to a close and so I hope that Santa will just pile your homes brim full of all the gifts, toys and sweets imaginable. Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I remain. CHATTERBCK, Newark, N. J. ST. PAUL GIVES LETTER TO NINETEEN ATHLETES Lawrenceville, Va., Jarrett D.
