Value of Award is Only 5,000 Francs. 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. Winning it means for the author that his book will be among the best sellers of the year and that he will always command a good public.

More books were submitted this year for the competition than ever before and the voting was close between a halt during authors. In the end, there was a tie between Notre Martin's "Batoualal" and Ligue hardonne's "L'Epitalalane," each receiving five votes. The rule of the Academy, is shown on a tie the award shall go to the book for which the President has voted. In this case, President Gustave Coffin had voted for Martin's book.
Native of Martinique.
Rose March was born on the island of Marmugo and is now employed in the French Colonial Service, stationed a Lake Tahoe Central Africa. 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.
Mrs. Digney is asking the women of White Plains to contribute to the relief of this aged gold star mother. She is no crippled, as to be helpless and must fall more alone in need. She is sensitive and her gown is withdrawn because of the

PATTROLMAN J. 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.
Officer William Bryden of the 135th street station heard the shooting but he reached the point the man had

Hundreds of people from the immediate neighborhood were attracted by the doctors but the policeman, a student, appeared before anybody could get a glimpse of them. Other Rhodes has been on the terrace for a number of years, being the third colored man appointed.
Information on Wednesday morning to the effect that Patrolman Rhodes has a good chance to recover. Information disclosed the fact that the officer was probably saved from instant death in the fact that the bullet which wounded him in the ambulance first struck the little order book, which he was carrying in his pocket. Patrolman Rhodes was on regular duty, patrolling his boat at time he was shot. He has made a splendid record and enjoys the confidence and esteem of his superior officers and brother patrolmen in equal measure.
Assistant United States District Attorney James C. Thomas, Jr., who was married on Monday, December 19th, to Miss Laura M. Harmon has been directing his activities against big hotel and market men alleged to be guilty of food law violations. Specimen charges are made against the Bilham, Pennsylvania, Waldorf and Brewer hotels, and the Century Fish Company and (other dealers in Fulton Market, following raids by agents of the Department of Agriculture, that they were in possession of sea food that had been adulterated. Snailops were seized which had been placed in fresh water and thus swollen to an abnormal

Mr. Thomas filed four are proceedings of a civil nature, charging that placing the scallops in fresh spring water causing them to assume a large size and delicate appearance, constitutes adulteration under the food and drug act. The only jurisdiction the Federal Government has over scallops treated in this manner is when they have been shipped across state lines. In this case forciture proceedings are instituted.
The penalty for selling adulterated scallops, and Mr. Thomas, the sale being classed as a misdemeanor, is for the first offense a fine of $200, and for subsequent offenses, fines of $300 can be imposed in addition to an optional sentence of a year in prison.
FOR NORTH CAROLINA.
The legislature of North Carolina has appropriated $100,000 for a tuberculous sanitarium for Negroes, to be built on the 1,400-acre tract purchased by the state for anti-tuberculous work, the sanitarium for whites already occupies a part of this tract. The new hospital will be manned by colored physicians, assisted by colored nurses. Meanwhile the State Board of Health points its preventive educational campaign among the Negroes with encouraging regs.

Washington, D.C.—In some political quarters in this city keen interest has been aroused by the news that the "Five KING MAKERS," Oscar, Ed., Louis, the Bishop and Bob, of the second ward in Chicago have already served notice on the people that the next member of Congress from the Madden, or the First District of Illinois, will be a "LILY BLACK" of the Thompson variety. If perchance there is any doubt concerning the authenticity of this movement, at least among a certain group of politicians, one needs but to spend an evening at the beautiful Appomattox Club to be fully convinced that the movement has at least some elements of strength behind it.

But there is also a noticeable cross-current in this sea of Illinois politics. There are those who think that it would be a criminal mistake to even attempt to molest Congressman Madlen who has worked his way up to national disruption through the chairman-upon-the-great House committee on Appropriations. It has been suggested by some of the conservatives that an effort should be made, providing the state not been reapportioned in the meanwhile, to elect as CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE.

The painting by S. J. Woolf, one of America's leading portrait painters, shows the Old 15th with Col. William Hayward in command, accompanied by Regimental Adjutant Ferguson and Lieut. Tessier, the French liaison officer. Many of the figures of the men are actually portraits.
The reproduction rights belong exclusively to THE AGE. It is printed on heavy calendared paper, 8 by 12 inches, by four-color process in the original colors and is a faithful replica of the mammoth oil original, which now hangs in the home of Col. Hayward.

It is believed that he could serve in a national sense, and that because of his military experience, he would be of great help in congress to the thousands of colored veterans who survived the great World War.
But this recognition of Duncan does not seem to appeal to the Chicago ward hires and present hustlers who are now and have always been more or less unwilling to see horses of any kind distributed outside on Cook County, regardless of the fact that they, themselves are so hopelessly split into factions that they are POWERLESS in any state primary to deliver the goods without a combination is made with the 45,000 colated voters in the other 101 counties in the state. It is claimed that during a state primary or election period every Cook County machine worker who can make a connection with the bank roll of his favorite white candidate immediately catches a train for the COUNTY DISTRICTS, which to them is everything outside of Chicago. 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.
The entire illimited situation thus becomes very interesting to our people throughout the country, and it is hoped that the leaders will get together on a constructive political program that can be put over without calling for too great a sacrifice, or without the political assassination of a friend.

Hopelessly Split.
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

The assertion is made by parties at interest that the salary paid Ethel Waters, singing star of the "Black Swan Trombadours," and exclusive artist of the Black Swan Record Co. is the highest paid any colored photograph star in the lot try. The contract is said to be unique in that Miss Waters has entered into an ironclad agreement not to marry within, at least a year. The young artist is now on tour with the Trombadours and it is said that the volume of mail coming to her each day makes almost imperative the engagement of a private social secretary if answers are sent to the letters received. Many offers of marriage are included among these epistles and these are not inspired altogether by personal knowledge of her charm and the quality of her voice. Many of them are due to admiration engendered through seeing her photograph reproduced in various newspapers in connection with the advertising matter of the Black Swan records.
Reports recently came into the New York office that at Wheeling W. Va., a prominent young physician painted such attractive pictures of the delights to be found in conubial Bliss, he and Miss Waters being the prospective partners, that the Troubadours' tour was well nigh ended then and there. When Harcel H. Pace, head of the organization, reduced the danger of such a consumption he immediately sent a letter to Miss Waters asking her to sign a

Mathews of Boston, for sometime past assistant general attorney for the Universal Negro Improvement Association of New York, the Marcus Garvey organization, has resigned from that position and will devote all his time to the practice of law.
It is reported here that Mr. Matthews was admitted to the New York bar a few days ago and that he is also to be admitted to practice in the District of Columbia.
new contract and giving his reasons therefore.
This new contract, it is said, contained a "no marriage" clause, and provided for the payment of such a sum for each night's engagement and for each new record made by the singer as many workers do not earn from a month's labor. Upon receipt of these documents, Miss Waters is reported to have smiled and prominently attached her signature to the contract, which was returned to New York without delay.
Information is to the effect that there is no diminution in the number of prospective swains, however, and that each city visited adds its quota to the list of victims.
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. It is highly important than that the Sunday-school should engage the time and attention of all the members and friends of the church. Its membership should be enlarged, its teachers inspired to do all in their power to cause their pupils to strive to fit themselves to live life alright. The three o'clock service was held under the auspices of the class leaders, who, with their members, filled the pews with their respective banners displayed. The sermon was preached by Dr. Oliver, pastor of Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church. The choir of said church furnished the music. At 4 o'clock under the auspices of the Lyceum. Fubie Blake, leader of "Shuffle Along" orchestra, rendered a sacred concert which was highly enjoyed. The Vickar C. E. Society held their usual weekly services at 6:30 p. m. It was an interesting and profitable session.
At 8 p.m. m. service the leaders made
their final reports. Total amount raised
$9,749.59. The pastor will endeavor to
make it $10,000 next Sunday.

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. More than a thousand of the colored citizens of Edgeworth and adjoining counties packed into the court-house for that occasion.
When Gov. Morrison entered, accompanied by W. A. Hart, member of the State Highway Commission and a big cotton buyer, the assembly greeted him with waving of flags and singing of the Negro national anthem. The meeting was formerly opened by Presiding Elder Love, who stated that this was the first time in the history of Edgeworth county that a Governor had come to speak directly to the Negro citizens. 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. Church, 109 West 131st, Rev. James G. Ryder pastor. At 11 o'clock, Rev. J. F. Johnson preached. The junior choir under the direction of Mrs. Genevieve Scott, rendered a program which was appreciated by the congregation. At 1:30 o'clock Sunday School held a very interesting session. The communion service was held at 3 o'clock. Rev. C. H. Sands of Newark, N. J., delivered the sermon, after which, the Holy Communion was administered by the pastor, assisted by Rev. Accope and Rev. Sands. This was a service long to be remembered, because of the great spiritual blessing received.
The Y. P. S., Miss E. Bradham, president held their session at 6:30 o'clock. A splendid program was rendered. These meetings are well attended. Great interest is manifested by officers and members.
The pastor preached at the evening service to a large and appreciative audience. Four were taken into full membership. The senior choir rendered inspiring selections.
Special services have been arranged for Christmas Sunday, December 25th. At 11 o'clock, Christmas sermon by the pastor; special selections by the junior choir. 1:30 o'clock, Christmas, cancata by Sunday School. 3 o'clock Home Missionary Society meeting, Mrs. C. V. Miller, president. 6 o'clock, special program by the "P.S. Among the features will be a tableau, "Swing ajar, ye gates at night," probed by Miss Ira Wilson, Miss Muriel Johnson, soloist. At 8 o'clock, the senior choir will render a musical program. The public is invited to attend all of these services.
Abyssinian Baptist Church.
The church was crowded at both services Sunday and the messages delivered by the pastor in the morning and assistant pastor in the evening were informing and well received.
Three persons united with the church and the offering amounted to $429,225 $50 of this amount was donated to the Missionary Society which is planning to send out 200 Christmas baskets to needy families. The choir is arranging special Christmas music for next Sunday and the sermons will be in keeping with the day.
The Woman's Auxiliary of the Episcopal diocese of North Carolina has appointed a committee to confer with leading colored women of the state to learn the needs of their women and children as they see them, and to form plans for cooperation. The wife of the colored suffragan bishop of the diocese has been included in this committee.

The Rev. Mr. Thurston then introduced Gov. Morrison. The minister declared this to be the happiest moment of his life and he emphasized the belief that whatever Gov. Morrison did for the good of North Carolina would be supported heartily by the sons of Ham. 'Gov. Morrison thanked the audience for the cordial reception and asserted that he was the governor of all the people in, North Carolina, whether black or white. Congratulating the race upon their work in helping to make the State what it is, the Governor expressed great pride in the war record made by the colored soldiers. He said that brotherly feeling between the two races was never better than at this time.
"The first and most important thing," said he, "is to fix your religion." Great stress was laid upon obedience to the laws of the country and he declared unequivocally for impartial enforcement and justice to all in the administration of these laws. Reference was made to the necessity of the education of all the people in the public schools of the state and to the work of the State's health program. Comment was made on the fine work being done by Dr. E. C. Brooks, state superintendent, N. C. Newbold, chief of the Bureau of Negro Education, Dr. W. S. Rankin, head of the State Board of Health, and Dr. L. B. McBraver, chief of the Bureau of Tuberculosis, under the State Board of Health.
Governor Morrison urged his hearers to use their best endeavor in cooperating with and carving out the instructions given by the colored workers of

Mr. K. K. Kawakami, special correspondent to the Arms Con-
ference of the “Jiji-Shimpo.” one of the great newspapers of Japan,
has made a very clear statement regarding the relations between
Japin 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. Ks-
wakami is right. China's attitude toward Japan is “nagging.”
Japan ha sbeen 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 te the
naftons of Europe. . ¢ 3 we
I.remember a conversation. which I had with a Japanese dur-
ing the War, He was working ostensibly as a cook ia an American
family, but he shawed 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, fotlawitg the European -delegetiors, was

This remark not only gave me 2 side light on the Japanese-
‘Chipese situation. but it was an amazing revelation of the insight
ol the Japanese: as observers.
POLITICAL PRIBONERS.
One of ‘the most generaliy accepted articles in the Americar
Credo is that in the United States citizen® have greater political
rights and freedom than’ citizens in any other country in the world
It seems that the great war should haye ‘shattered this belief, bu
it did not do so to any great‘extent. During the war there wat
less freedom of speech permitted in this country than in England
or in France or, even in Germany, for that matter. The syslem o
espionage in the United States was stricter and more relentlessly
carried ont than in any country engaged in the war. We doubt
that it was surpassed even by the Rusisan Police system of mon-
archial Russia. _
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 thice to four years, many of these men are still
in prisom.Eugene Debbs being the most conspicuous of then 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 iave 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. Dur-
ing the war'and since, Ragland has been arresting and holding
in prison Irishmen who nat qnty opposed. the war. but who ene
gaged in actual warfare agenet Yogland. On the signing of the
Irish agreement. Englaz immec:atsty liberated several thousand
af these prisoners. That may be put down as a political stroke,
but it is 2 good one, aud such a stroke would be equally as good
jor 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 riot-
Ingtin Houston, Texas. in 1917. The facts regarding the cases of
these men are ton well known for reiteration. Whatever acts that
they amay have committed were acts tu which they were goaded
by treatment which was humanely unendurable. A short while
ago a delegation of colored citizens presented ty the President a
petition with fifty thousand signatures, asking fer executive clem-
ency for those men, The President promised to take the matter
under cOMaideration. Last week th€‘Scecretary of War made an
adverse report on the cases of the men of the 24th, but neverthe-
less, it is entirely within the power ‘of the President to exercise
lemency, While he ix considering the release of the political
prisoners he should reconsider the cases of those colored ex-
oldiers. .
METHODISTS AND DANCING.
Frequent reference bas been made ir
these columns to the rigid church dis
‘cipline maintained hy Nero Methodist:
and Baptists in the matter of amuse
ments. Dancing and attending — the
theatre have been among the prohibitec
diversions, with the result that the
younger generation are cither barred
from membership or cle ignore the
prohibition Efforts to reinx the dix
cipline 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

VIEWS and REVIEWS

: TRELAND AND INDIA. mae
: 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 Ly 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 Sinn Finr 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,
nat completely, but in a very large-measure; at ‘least, they have
within their grasp a settlement of their question ‘that is far froni:
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 tp 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 intermitently using
their methads of forc& for more than seven centuries. E
Gandhi hax not in the least been affected by,the developments
in Ireland, He is not in the Jeast being swerved from his prin-
ciples of peaceful resistance. The visit of the Prince of Wales to
India has brought thik 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 an-
Jnounced to his followers that he would fast until the attempts
at violence ceased. ‘These attempts quickly subsided. The British
authorities themselves casily handled these attempts: hy immedi-
ately 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 tcheme
of non-cooperation in a most impressive maner. This visit
called for the outpouring of thousands. of peuple 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 xt 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 sentfment of the people of Allahabad were ex-
pressed in a manner that could not be coubted. A very few people
might have attempted violence by throwing stones of 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 liave dealt, but how was it. possible to deal with a whole]!
population which merely refrained to take part in the: demonstra-|‘
tion planned for the Prince of Wales, and thus struck a blow at]’
British rule in India. i ‘
In our former article on this topic we said that it would be.
well for the colored people of the United States to carciully study })
and watch the Gandhi movement in India and if it proved effective] |!
there would he 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] ;
methad of the Irish cannot be used by us. But what about the],
methods of Gandhi? It seems that jn many ways they might be
adapted tu 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 he the effect if all};
of the colored people in that community. town or city, put into prac- |,
uce. to the fullest extent possible, the Gandhi, principles of non-|
cooperation? Suppose the men refrained from their work in shopa,|t
on bnildings, in the railroad yards and wherever their labor touch.|>
ed the whites. and that the women refused to wash a garment]?
ur clean a house or cook a meal for any ‘white person until the!
sifety of the prisoner and a fair trial was acsured—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 wo-|¢
men 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. :
Ui course it yet remains to he proved whether the more or
léss spititual apposition which Gandhi and his followers are using
can cope with aml avercome the material forces by. which Bytain
lok’s India. Ircland has demonstrated what has all along been
known—that the yoke of the oppressor can be thrown off by phyii-
cal force. It will be interesting to watch and see if Gandhi can
rive his methods to be equally effective. And if he dues, he
will open up a new era for all of the socalled weaker peoples
around the globe: those who cannot command the modern im-
pliments. of jhysical force, repeating rifles, machine guns, heavy |4
artillery, battle ships, sub-marines and aeroplanes; it will mean]
that there is a way of escape for those who are at present defence-| *

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1821. For the choruses, and Mr. Dyer also accompanied Miss Olden and Mr. Ramsey.
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.

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."

But enough for the reminiscences. 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.

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."

WON BY NEGRO
(Continued from First Page.)
members of the Negro race to win literary and scientific distinction. 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. Moorland, silver spoons, fresh knives and face towels; Miss Theresa Cooper, cell cloth for the kitchen tables; Mrs. E. F. Horne, chairman, American Red Cross Auxiliary, Ashland place branch, Y. C. C. A. 150 rolls gauze handages, three pneumonia jackets and eye bandages. The Circle is most appreciative of all these gifts.
Many hearts will be made glad in this little southern rural town because of this interest shown by their more fortunate northern brothers and sisters. Is your name connected with The Circle?

Nazarene Congregational, Brooklyn.
"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. Calvin Lane, who recently united with the Nazarene Church, is supplying the Weasleyan Mission on Willoughby street.
A number of new members will unite with the church on the last Sunday of the year.

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. Tabei, Kiyoshi Kannai, Itaro Ishi, while the Chinese present were Victor Hoo, Minister to Cuban Assistant Secretary Gen. Y. S. Tao, K. Wang, Mired Sen. John Heus
M. Jacques represented the French Ambassador accompanied by M. and Mine. Rene Battagne, and M. De Sanctry. From the Netherlands there was Johkheer W. H de Beynouf, Minister, and Costa Rica Legation was represented by the minister from that country.
Others present included H. G. Wells of England, H. W. Novison of Manchester, Pierre Lanax of France, Dr. Bedrich Stepanek, Minister from Czechoslovakia, Charles Lee Cook of the State Department, George W. Wilson of Harvard, Henry Eich Brown, Harry T. Burleigh, Nathan Dett, Mrs. J. L. Davis, Harald Aller, Miss Carleton Hunt, Rev George F. Dulles, Carl B. Norton Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, J. W. Wallace, W. J. B. Williams of Tolkien, D. D. Davis, ed. by Kieron R. Kernan, Franklin Cooke, L. Strozdard Layner, James A. Cobb, Andrew F. Hulley.
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.

"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.
It implies that colored men are lacking in sentiment and feeling as well as in pride of race.
Nodine could be further from the truth.
The history of the price ring shows that colored men have horned tails as proudly and have defended them as honestly and courageously as any white men that ever crawled through the tones.
The history of the price ring shows that as proudly and have defended them as honest men that ever crawled through the tops. There have been occasions when some of money by losing than they did by winning, mediated the very thought, and fought and won.

Gann took a mere pittance in dollars comp his title, Jack Johnson, had, he valued money would have gathered a fortune by losing to Joe Foube that a plot was afoot at one time to have by Johnson.

Gann took a mere pituitance in dollars compared to Nelson and but he kept his title. Jack Johnson, had he valued money above the heavyswag crown would have gathered a fortune by loving to Jeffries at Reno, and there is little doubt that a plot was afoot at one time to have Johnson so lose, a plot rejected by Johnson.
No more honest fighter than George Dixon ever drew the breath of life and his pride in his title kept "Little Chocolate" champion for years. If Joe Wollett cared nothing for his title it never showed in the manner in which he hammered down all opposition year in and year out.
To say that dollars more than in a colored fighter than a title, in view of the record of the race, is insulting. It is a reflection upon the great colored giants, living and dead, and it will be resented by white sportmen who have seen them tight, and win, against almost impossible odds and conditions.

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.
You've raised a great question for discussion, Mr. Newman.

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.

TO OPEN ON DECEMBER 31
The largest and most beautiful national picture theatre in the world, ten colored patrons will be opened in Harlem on New Year's Eve, December 5th, 1921. This theatre, the New Douglas, is located at 1451 street and Lenox avenue, and has just been completed. It has a seating capacity of 2,500 seats and is modern in every way. One of the features is the colossal pipe organ which, unaccompanied by Miss Peters, a California organ. There will also be a large concert orchestra under the leadership of Harry W. Stout of the Toupons 15th Regiment Band.
The house will be under the personal direction of Louis Scribner, who built and was until a few months ago the manager of the Rococo Theatre. It not only intends to give the patron the best production by the white companies, but will also run worthwhile pictures by colored producers. Among the pictures to be shown during the opening week, two are colored productions—one, For His Mother's Sake, Starring Jack Johnson, and the other a comedy "Easy Money," with a cast of colored comedians.

A regular baseball tournament will be
held at Madison Casino on New

Four thousand people saw the largest galaxy of stars ever assembled at an indoor meet perform in the annual games of the Carlton N. M. C. A. held on Friday night, December 16th, at the 12th Regiment Armory, Brooklyn. In the invitational 60-70 and 300-yard races, three colored stars—Joseph Carter, New England Dyear champion; E. O. Gourdin, holder of the world's broad jump record; and Roy Morse, former 220-yard champion, and three white stars—Bennie D. Wefers, New York Athletic Club; George Petryman, Knights of St. Anthony; and W. Downey, of Fordham University were entered.

The meet was a success in every way, and the large number of colored people present from all parts of the city were wild with enthusiasm at the performances of the leading colored athletes, Gourdin, Johnson, Parker and Carter, who carried off the lion's share of honors in the events they were entered in. 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. Teams desiring games with the Holy Name Guild should communicate with the manager of the team, 127th 15th street, N. W., Washington, D. C.

From the Gospel according to St. Luke 1:76-79: "And thou, child, shalt he called the Prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways:
"To give knowledge of salvation unto His people by the remission of their sins.
"To give light, to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet in the way of peace."

"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. Well, the Sandman is coming and if I don't be careful, I will be chattering over my limit. I hope Santa will behind enough to full your with, "Gay," and bring "Ethel" home for Xmas. Welcome to new members of the column.
Merry Xmas and A Happy New Year to all. Lovingly, "LOTUS BLOSSOM." M. Newark, N. J.

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.

RANDOLPH EPSIS DEC. 12, 1920
A precious one from me
A voice I loved is still
A place is vacant in my home
Which never can be filled
In a near and lonely grave
When the trees, their brains we
Lies my beloved father
In a cold and silent grave
Friends may think I have
hung
And my wounded heart is healed
Little do they know I sore
That is in my heart concealed.
His daughter
