THE COLORED WOMEN REJOICE Are to Be Given the Long-Desired Privilege of Engaging in Ministry of Mercy to Soldiers in Hospitals and Camps. Special to the Monitor: WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1. Already there are numerous evidences that the recent conference of Colored editors and leaders held in this city in June, which was called by Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, at the suggestion of the war department and the committee on public information, to consider the relations of the 12,000,000 Negroes in this country with the general government itself, and to discuss ways and means how each might co-operate most effectively in the work of winning the present world-wide war, is bearing fruit. Three results of the most significant character have been worked out within the past fortnight that fully justify the holding of the conference and other issues not less far-reaching are well on their way toward a satisfactory conclusion. President Wilson's Clean-Cut Pro- bouncement Against Lynching. The first in importance and human interest of the helpful results that may be said to have grown directly out of the recent conference of editors, and co-operation of Negro leaders and friends of the Negro people, is the frank, positive and unequivocal declaration of the president of the United States against the mob spiirt, which has been sent to the four corners of the earth by cable and through the newspapers of this country. President Wilson's firm stand for law and order ranks with the finest of the great state papers that have emanated from the White House, and it has electrified the entire country as it has seldom been thrilled before. It will be remembered by those familiar with the proceedings of the conference at the new interior department building that the full force of the leaders who spoke were marshaled in opposition to the lynchings, burning and inhuman mob violence practiced mainly against Colored people in various sections of the country, and that this lack of respect for the common rights of citizens was given as the most potent cause for the unrest among Negroes. This was the underlying reason for bringing the conference together from far-distant points. The proceedings of the conference reached the president the committee on public information of which Mr. George Creel, is chairman. The president's message is a wholesome rebuke to ruthless violators of the law, who almost invariably think they will be immune from punishment by the courts or by an outraged public opinion. The Colored people are jubilant over the timely and straightforward pronouncement of the president of the United States and that such an utterance from the highest authority in the land will cause a wave of patriotic enthusiasm among them and inspire a keener impulse to assist in the many constructive war activities throughout the republic cannot be doubted. Colored Women Rejoice in Opportunity to Be War nurses. The second outstanding achievement growing out of the conference is the opening made for the employment of the large number of Colored trained nurses who have patriotically registered their names with the American Red Cross society for work among the Colored troops on the field and in the base hospitals. The conference strongly urged that these skilled TO OUR ADVERTISERS We appreciate your patronage and are pleased to know that The Monitor is bringing you good results. It could hardly be otherwise, since our circulation reaches the best class of buyers in the world. THE MONITOR nurses be used at the earliest possible opportunity. According to an announcement made through the office of the special assistant to the secretary of war last week, plans have been laid by the surgeon general of the army to have Colored nurses assigned to six of the base hospitals in this country where approximately 38,000 Colored troops are stationed; namely, Camps Funston, Dodge, Grant, Taylor, Sherman and Dix, and with a practical certainty that these skilled agents of mercy will have a further opportunity for service among the Colored soldiers overseas. With the constant increment of Colored men in the army the number of women to be utilized must be correspondingly enlarged from time to time, with a constantly expanding area of usefulness and spiritual influence. This signal triumph has heartened beyond measure the women of our land, who are called upon in time of war to make the heaviest sacrifices—and yet are the most willing to sacrifice and to serve when called upon to do so. This is the second big achievement that may be justly credited to the recent conference and it will prove to be a vital factor in alleviating the unrest that has been breaking down the morale of Negro Americans. Cólonel Young May Soon Be Called to Active Duty. The early recall to active duty of Colonel Charles Young, the idol of the young Colored men of red blood and sturdy public spirit, also urged by the conference, is before the war department. It has become known that the secretary of war from the very beginning has sympathetically considered the whole matter of utilizing the valuable military experience and services of Colonel Young, who, until his retirement some months ago, was actively identified with the regular army. The two concrete results here referred to, and the third one now "on the lap of the gods," would seem amply to justify the recent conference of Colored leaders and editors, who sacrificed time and business interests to crystallize requests into tangible realities and demonstrate the value of intensive co-operation with the national government. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE THANKS THE PRESIDENT Boston, Mass., July 27.—At a meeting of the Boston branch of the National Equal Rights League the following telegram was sent to President Wilson: Boston, Mass., July 26, 1918. To the President: We thank you for your very able address on lynching, given to the country today confirming the position our league has always taken. We trust you will make your words effective by suitable action, authority for which you have under your war power, making lynching a federal crime, and to insist on its suppression at once, as a war measure, if necessary by force of arms. EMERY T. MORRIS, Pres. CRISPUS ATTUCKS The Crispus Attacks' chapter of the Red Cross has been meeting weekly for one year and the women's willing and busy hands have accomplished much in the preparation of needed supplies. Only a few women at first realized the importance of this work, but the membership is steadily growing. During the year the following articles have been made: Five dozen bed socks, seven and a half dozen hot water bottle covers, twenty double bed socks, twenty operating socks.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—President Wilson in a personal statement addressed to his fellow countrymen denouncing mob spirit and mob action, called upon the nation to show the world that while it fights for democracy on foreign fields, it is not destroying democracy at home. The president denounced most emphatically mob action of all sorts, especially lynchings, and while he did not refer specifically to lynchings of Negroes in the south, it is known that he included them in his characterization of mob spirit as "a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice." The president's statement in full follows: missing you upon a subject which the nation and the very character that I trust you will think me about it.

On June 22 Mr. Harrold was again refused. He brought suit for damages and a jury awarded a verdict in his favor. Attorney W. Hatteroth represented Mr. Harrold and in his argument to the jury stated that the civil rights bill had been clearly violated and this was not a matter that concerned the plaintiff alone, nor merely the race to which he belongs, but all the people of Nebraska, who as a matter of right and justice are interested in seeing that every individual is protected in the enjoyment of his civil rights guaranteed by national and state enactments. --- --- "My fellow countrymen; twelve sweaters, twenty operating caps, twenty pairs of booties, twelve braziers, eleven and a half dozen towels.

MEN HAVE GLORIOUS RECORD British and Canadian Recruiting Mission Predicts That the Colored Britisher's Response to Country's Call Will Astound the World. NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—The British and Canadian recruiting mission has just issued a highly complimentary article on the valor and loyalty of Colored British troops, concerning whose glorious achievements in the great world war on England's far-flung battle far too little has been written. Only the official records will reveal what wonders have been wrought by the sentiment of loyalty and deeds of valor of the Colored race. Here is the statement in full: Unheralded, yet glorious, is the part which has been played by the Colored race in this great world war. Far too little has been written of their part and only when the official records of the allied nations have been perused sometime in the future will it be known and realized how completely the sentiment of loyalty of the colored race in a good cause has swept away time-honored distinctions, erased deep-seated prejudices, spurned geographical distances and even over-ridden all selfish interests at this crucial time. Countless numbers of dark skinned patriots have taken their places upon the battle fields of Mesopotamia, the Balkans, Africa and the other fighting fronts, displaying the same skill, the same valor, and the same tenacity as their white brethren. Many, too, have made the supreme sacrifice for the great ideal which has led the peace loving nations of the world to do battle with the bestial Huns. Will Furnish Interesting Page of History. Some day a history of their part in the greatest of all wars shall be written and it must prove one of the brightest chapters in the brilliant story of the allies' achievements for liberty and righteousness. It is unfortunate that so little has been heard of the exploits of our Colored soldiers for they have proven themselves to be equal of all others in actual combat. The great predominance of white soldiers and the fact that the Colored troops have done most of their fighting on the far off fronts of Mesopotamia and Africa has probably been the cause. Upon their battle record is inscribed the expulsion of everything German from the great continent of Africa; in the reclamation of the Holy Land they have played their part, and on the battle fronts in Flanders and France they have helped to stem the German onslaught. Indeed it would be impossible to even touch upon their many achievements. They would fill many large volumes. A Striking Example. A striking example of the glorious achievements of the Colored race is the British West Indies regiment. At the outbreak of the war such an organization as this regiment was little known. The cause of the empire was the cause of our Colored subjects in these tropical islands and they clamored for recognition that they might do their share. Though miles and miles of ocean lay between them and the battle field the Colored population in the islands, as one man, flocked to the cause and from every island, from every far off British colony they came eager to do their share for the cause. The British West Indies regiment, with its numerous battalions has given to the armed forces of the British empire, one of the most remarkable examples of successful military amalgamation in the annals of the war. They have won a place in the forefront of Britain's fighting forces. Summons Subjects From States Great Britain realizes what her Colored subjects have accomplished, but until a short time ago, owing to the great numbers of Colored subjects who flocked to the colors in the West Indies and other colonies, the recruitment of her Colored subjects in the United States was of necessity somewhat limited. It has been decided, however, to sound the call to those in this country and orders have recently been received by the British and Canadian Recruiting Mission to increase their efforts in this direction. Already large numbers have proffered their services and many Colored Britishers from this country are now on their way to take their place beside their compatriots on the battle front. It is predicted that before the British and Canadian Recruiting Mission has completed its work in this country the answer to their appeal for Colored Britishers to enlist will astound the world. Conditions of Enlistment. Conditions governing the ejulstion of Colored British subjects are practically the same as for their white compatriots. To enlist they must be British subjects, physically fit, and must not be prevented by religious persuasion from eating ordinary British army rations.

They mark the approach of Colored Americans to their federal government in behalf of justice and liberty for their racial group. These eight days with a Sunday in between, witnessed the gathering together in the nation's capital of delegates from all sections of the country in the midst of a world's war to formulate and present to the federal congress a statement of the grievous wrongs visited upon their race and a demand for redress. Two days were spent in mapping out the plans and a ranging for the sessions of this National Colored Liberty Congress, which lasted six days and five nights. At its height one hundred and fifteen delegates had qualified from about thirty states. They had come from as far north as Massachusetts, as far south as Florida and as far west as Arkansas. The lynching states were well represented save Texas. The states of Tillman, Williams and Vardaman were represented, and Tillman was stricken with his final paralytic shock before this Liberty Congress closed. Meeting under purposeful questionings of loyalty there was no wavering among these delegates. They came for a share for their race of the world democracy which their country's president proclaimed as the flower of their race was sent into battle in another hemisphere, and they never faltered. Day after day the delegates met in two executive sessions without a dissent from the announced purpose of the call. Firm in the conviction that they were true to the real patriotism in seeking to wipe out the inconsistency of their country at home and were race loyal in seizing this world opportunity to seek for their race relief from senseless and undemocratic proscription, they notified the chief executive by sending a written request to him to convene both houses of congress to hear them and sending a delegation to get his answer. Then they notified the heads of both houses of congress by sending delegations to the speaker of one and the president of the other to ask for a joint session. And in Speaker Clark they found a responsive hearer though the extraordinary opportunity could not be secured. They further sought the advisement of the government by inviting two congressmen to address this Liberty Congress. These crusaders in war time for liberty and redress of race wrongs notified the white public of the District of Columbia by these moves of their patriotic purpose. The daily press chronicled somewhat of them. Colored Washington was not left in the dark. On the first Monday night there came into the spacious John Wesley Zion A. M. E. church, Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor, a great, intelligent audience. They heard frank utterances and positive demands for liberation from Maurice Spencer, local chairman; Dr. S. H. Harrison of Oklahoma; H. H. Harrison of New York, the brainy chairman of the congress; Wm. Monroe Trotter, executive secretary and the eloquent J. W. Bell of Kentucky. At first that audience sat around the big flags still and in suspense. Then as speakers boldly demanded the democracy for their race which was proclaimed for the world they relaxed and then waxed enthusiastic. Five Great Mass Meetings—Two Congressmen Approve. Then the "ice was broken." Tuesday night, despite the rain, another great audience listened to manly and able addresses by Rev. M. F. Sydes, R. I; Atty. W. A. Hawkins, Md.; C. S. Morris, N. Y.; and applauded. Wednesday night a mammoth audience, overflowing the church heard Rep. Martin B. Madden of Illinois, as he approved the holding of the congress as patriotic; Prof. A. W. Whaley of Boston; Rev. M. A. N. Shaw of Boston, whose ovation as he closed at midnight was greater than that to Cong. Madden and again, H. H. Harrison, who was applauded till 12:45 a. m. Thursday night an another mammoth audience heard W. H. Twine of Oklahoma; Rev. C. H. Stepteau of Baltimore and the greatest of all congressmen, L. C. Dyer of Missouri, author of the anti-lynching bill, who declared all true Americans at home should be bringing about democracy in the U. S. A. while the soldiers are fighting in Europe for world democracy. Friday night another large audience heard Rev. H. D. Martin of Georgia, brother of Granville Martin; Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and Dr. P. A. Stephens of Chattanooga, Tenn. Approves Race's Petition. Then W. Munroe Trotter read the petition which had been unanimously approved by the delegates and put into the hands of Sen. Penrose for presentation to congress. It was so satisfactory that the Boston editor THE MONITOR was given a rising vote of thanks, as had Rev. Shaw and Rev. Madden been given and after an eulogy by Prof. Bell was by rising vote declared the radical race leader. After midnight on Thursday night Red Cross units gave the delegates a reception lasting till 2 a. m., a delightful affair in the lecture hall and dining room where meals were served daily. A delightful feature of the night sessions was the remarkable singing of Miss Virginia Williams prima donna soprano. Invocations were pronounced by the Rev. C. W. Brown, Bishop I. N. Ross, Rev. C. M. Tanner, Rev. W. C. Weston, Ala; Rev. M. J. Adams, Ala. Prof. Braxton rendeerd organ solos Tuesday night and Prof. Percival Parkham of Boston on Thursday night. The collections laid on the table averaged $35.00 per night and the Liberty Congress captured Colored Washington. This incomplete report but half describes this earnest gathering. Saturday at 1 o'clock it closed. All debts were paid. Votes of thanks were passed to Harrison, Bell, Trotter Rev. Brown, local committee, the church and to the delegates. Adjournment till another Liberty Congress next year, this annual meeting being the only sense in which there is to be any permanent organization, was hastened to go to the capitol where the petition of the Colored race for democracy's rights was presented by Rep. F. H. Gillette of Massachusetts. On Monday, Robt. N. Owens applied for audience at war department and was put off till Tuesday, when he and Editor Trotter saw the Judge Advocate General, Col. Mayes, and told the war department would insist on same transportation for white and Colored soldiers and had turned case of Dr. Jones of St. Louis over to the department of justice. They also saw the Adjutant General. Gen. Kane, who said the Ballou order was not approved and that he would correct any injustice within his jurisdiction. Sen. Penrose plans to read the petition to the U. S. Senate at the best opportunity. So the congress of the United States now knows well the stand of Colored America for a share in world democracy. Send for Congressional Record. The petition is published in full in the Congressional Record of June 29. Write and ask your representative or senator to send you a copy. COMMON CROW (Corvus brachyrhynchos) R.A.9. Range: Breeds throughout the United States and most of Canada; winters generally in the United States. winter generally in the United States. Habits and economic status: The general habits of the crow are universally known. Its ability to commit such misdeeds as pulling corn and stealing eggs and fruit and to get away unscathed is little short of marvelous. Much of the crow's success in life is due to co-operation, and the social instinct of the species has its highest expression in the winter roosts, which are sometimes frequented by hundreds of thousands of crows. From these roosts daily flights of many miles are made in search of food. Injury to sprouting corn is the most frequent complaint against this species, but by coating the seed grain with coal tar most of this damage may be prevented. Losses of poultry and eggs may be averted by proper housing and the judicious use of wire netting. The insect food of the crow includes wireworms, cutworms, white grubs, and grasshoppers, and during outbreaks of these insects the crow renders good service. The bird is also an efficient scavenger. But chiefly because of its destruction of beneficial wild birds and their eggs the crow must be classed as a criminal, and a reduction in its numbers in localities where it is seriously destructive is justifiable.

The question is whether the white man can ever be elevated to that plane of justice, humanity and Christian civilization which will permit Negroes, Indians and Chinamen, and other darker colored races to enjoy an equal chance in the race of life. It is not so much whether these races can be made Christians as whether white people can be made Christians. The Negro is few, the white man is many. The Negro is weak, the white man is strong. In the problem of the Negro's future, the white man is therefore the chief factor. He is the potter; the Negro the clay. It is for him to say whether the Negro shall become a well rounded, symmetrical man, or be cramped, deformed and dwarfed. A plant deprived of warmth, moisture and sunlight cannot live, and grow. And a people deprived of the means of an honest livelihood must wither and die. All I ask for the Negro is fair play. Give him this, and I have no fear for his future. The great mass of the Colored people in this country are now, and must continue to be in the south; and there, if anywhere, they must survive or perish. It is idle to suppose these people can make any larger degree of progress in morals, religion and material conditions, while their persons are unprotected, their rights unsecured, their labor defrauded, and they are kept only a little beyond the starving point.—Frederick Douglass. "Any prejudice whatever will be in- surmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill.

PRESIDENT: Please accept the grateful thanks of the thousands of Colored Americans of Nebraska for whom The Monitor has authority, primarily, to speak, and of its readers elsewhere throughout the country whose gratitude we take the liberty of voicing, for your long-awaited, eagerly desired, trumpet-voiced call to our fair land, America, to exorcise the evil spirit of mobocracy by which she has been so long possessed. How anxious, sir, we have been for you to speak! How your silence and apparent indifference to the horrible, indescribable and almost unbelievable atrocities of which we, a loyal and law-abiding people have been so largely and almost exclusively, the victime, has perplexed, pained and grieved us! Our amazement at your silence has been indeed great, but greater than our amazement has been our dismay at the growing, undisguised and dangerous discontent among our people, as lawless acts with increasing fiendishness and frequency against us multiplied and you, our rarely gifted president, who with vehement righteous indignation anathematized barbaric ruthlessness across the seas, concerning these remained so strangely mute. Seemed we impatient for some word of protest from you, sir? If so, it was because we knew the hearts and sentiments of our people. We knew the heavy burden placed upon you and we wanted a united and contented people to help you bear that burden. This it was impossible to do while they construed your silence—even though wrongfully—as condonement if not approval of the ills they keenly suffered. It was not to embarrass you that we importuned you to speak, nor from any sentiment of disloyalty, as you yourself must know full well, but because we wanted to knit the hearts of our people to you as the ruler of our nation in these times of peril and anxiety. You have spoken the words which we desire, and by that utterance have lifted a burden from our hearts and we sincerely thank you, and reaffirm our allegiance to you, our President, to our Country and to our Flag. 4 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ON LYNCHING WE are not ashamed to confess that we have shed grateful tears of joy over President Wilson's most impressive message appealing for the suppression of the lynching mania which has made our beloved country a stench in the nostrils of the nations of the world. For nearly thirty years we have longed and hoped and prayed for some chief executive of the nation to speak in courageous denunciation of this malignant evil. Always loathing it and marvelling at the moral cowardice or most lamentable indifference which seemed to seal the lips of broad-minded, merciful, kind-hearted, justice-loving, Christian white men, with a few notable exceptions, we were filled with dismay and solicitude, after our entry into the war at the mounting tide of lynchings, upwards of 300, including the East St. Louis horror, which by their frequency and indescribable brutality, threatened to alienate the affection and loyalty of our people to this the land of our nativity. We knew, both as pastor and editor, the effect these atrocities were having upon our people. There was a growing bitterness, not merely because of these brutalities which it was generally believed were carried on by the baser element of the several communities, but because of the acquiescent silence of those in authority from the president down, which seemed to condone, if not approve. The people believed and rightly so, that if our great president would only declare his disapprobation of these barbarities at home as vigorously as he denounced ruthless deeds abroad, this rising tide of lawlessness would be stemmed at home. He remained silent. The lawless element of the land seemed to interpret his silence as approval of their deeds; as their multiplication testified. Our own group from whom the victims were so largely drawn reasoned, too, SILENCE GIVES CONSENT, and bitterness and resentment were at work. We deplored this growing bitterness, and implored the president to make it clear that he did not approve these deeds of blood, that he was not indifferent to our sufferings. This is what the united press of our people, our leaders and white friends besought the president to do. And at last, thank God, the president has spoken the needed word. And what a magnificent message it is. It leaves nothing to be said. It is a clarion call to the people of these United States to show ourselves to be a humane, justice loving, law-abiding people. It is an appeal that will be beheaded. Coming from a man of southern birth, breeding and sympathy, it means infinitely more than if such a message came from a man imbued with northern tradition. It The Children of the Sun By George Wells Parker will have a tremendous influence in suppressing that evil, which has been a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice, and imperils the very life and perpetuity of the republic. It will have an imponderable effect in enheartening our race in this country and steeling the arms of our soldiers who fare forth to fight for democracy since they will feel that their loved ones will be reasonably safe at home. We hail this message with joy, first because it is the message so long and sadly needed; and secondly because it places our president right where he as the leader in a great moral cause belongs as the outspoken champion of justice, righteousness and law throughout the world. NO TIME FOR OVERCONFIDENCE We have never for a single moment doubted the outcome of this war. We are going to win. That is certain. We are inclined to believe that the Berlin-ward drive of our gallant troops on the western front is really the beginning of the major offensive which will ultimately result in unfurling the standards of the allies above the imperial palace of Berlin. At the same time we must realize that no overconfidence in the prowess of our armies should make us insensible to the gigantic task which still lies before us. There must be no slacking in war preparations or in the loyal backing up and support of our troops. The nation's every demand upon us must be willingly, gladly and cheerfully met. Temporary reverses and heavy losses must still be ours before vic- We have been a long way together, you and I. We started out on our travels with ten thousand years ago, and have come down to the age when the old world closed and the new began. Our quest has been for one thing, the vindication of our blood and I believe that it has been vindicated. I believe now that we look back upon the long range of centuries gone by and watch them glow against the horizon of time, our hearts will beat a little faster and a little warmer when they recollect that the past, the whole great past, belongs to us, The Children of the Sun. They were our people who stood upon the threshold of time and looked first upon the stretch on eternity. They were our people who first learned the mysteries of agriculture, the wonders of the crafts and the blessings of society. They were our people who wondered at the enigmas of being, traced stories among the stars, sang hymns to the sun and THE MONITOR tory is achieved. Overconfidence may invite disaster. AGITATION AND AGITATION Agitation for the mere sake of agitation is always out of place and never more so than in times like these. But needed agitation for the correction of grave wrongs and for the enthronement of justice is always right and timely. In this category belongs all of the just demands the race press and religious and other leaders and numerous friends among the white race have been making for the fullest participation of our people as American citizens in all lines of activity, and for the practice of genuine democracy here. As more and more the thoughtful race man or woman ponders upon the stealthy movement of events, the more and more is he or she mindful of a deep change that is permeating the whole of this nation. It is a something strange, a something which we have never known before; the gradual march of justice. Shall we call it the awakening conscience of the American people or shall we call it the impress of real democracy being forced upon us under the administration of democrats whose sense of responsibility to the nation is something more than the regulation of dollars and the dealings of patronage? For twenty years under the republican regime our race has begged and plead and prayer for some voice of authority to declare our wrongs in the south unjust. For twenty years the republicans filled us with empty promises and whenever a case came before the supreme court, it sank into oblivion upon some technicality. Six years ago the democrats swept into power and we trembled—and waited. We searched the pages of congress for the awful bills we thought about to be passed against us, and miracle of miracles to such bills came forth. Somehow the tongues of the old southern firebrands who used to march back and forth through the north under the old republican regime, were stilled. In time the question of disfranchisement came up before the supreme court again and this time a democratic supreme court. We felt we already knew what it would say and we were thunderstruck when the chief justice read the opinion and said: "Disfranchisement is unconstitutional." A few weeks ago some Colored soldiers raped a white girl near Des Moines and were hanged. They should have been hanged, and none of us felt any remorse. But when the press told us that a white soldier in Texas raped a Colored girl and that one morning the rising sun saw him hanging by the neck by court martial order, we gasped! For once in the history of America we are beginning to realize that there is not a law for the white and a law for the black, but law for Americans. And so I say that we are beginning to see a light above the mist. We hardly comprehend it in the swiftly moving events, but we are becoming more and more aware that it is there and that it is something that we have never known before. Fear is giving away to content and content must eventually give way to enthusiasm. It is becoming plainer and plainer every day that the Colored man's duty is the American's duty and that the American's duty is to stand by the administration to the last. talked about God. They were our people who first builted beautiful cities, cut statues from stones, spanned rivers, harnessed floods, planted gardens, reared palaces, dedicated temples and tried to make earth the retrospect of paradise. They were our people who first conceived the ideas of the moral code, wrote laws, established seats of justice, and punished wrong. They were our people who first wrote books and music and carved pictures. They were our people who first discovered what civilization was and passed it on to men and nations struggling in the dark. Ancient history is our history, ancient glory is our glory, ancient honor is our honor. Let us then begin to write for ourselves a new name, a name that shall make men pause and wonder and think! A few years ago a great scholar wrote an article for the New York Sun, the gem of journals. In this article he maintained that no mixed BUY ANOTHER WAR SAVINGS STAMP THE DAWN! race ever became a great race and that all great races were pure races. I asked permission of the editor to answer and the permission was granted. I opposed him diametrically and claimed that every great race was a mixed race and that no pure race ever did become or ever can become a great race. I shook the facts from history as one shakes coal in a bag. I left no stone unturned; no race unforgotten. I treated every race known to ancient history and races that belonged to ancient history, but are unknown save to the scholar and scientist. I built an argument that was to stay, and when I closed I invited my opponent to answer. That was two years ago and he has never answered yet. He never will now, because death has claimed him. But I mention this to prove you to how easy it is for prejudiced men to build theories and try to have men inhabit them when there is no one to knock their tenements to ruins. In our rambles down the halls of time I have given you a few facts with which you may claim the majesty of our blood, the greatness of our race, the potentialities of our people. Use them, study them and make them a part of your daily thought. "As a man thinketh, so he is," and our race is the only race that can think of itself in centuries and centuries of greatness, of thought and of accomplishment. This boon may have been granted to the white races, but upon the fields of Europe they are wrecking their chances forever. And so I am done for now. You may safely use all that I have written, because it is all true. These articles have spread over the range of a few months, but the search to find them has ranged over continents and years. There were times when I was in despair and did not believe that I should ever find great authorities to back up the truth of my people's greatness, but I carried on the quest and in the end came the reward. I have come to believe that whoever dreams a dream and hides it away in his heart to think upon for days and months and years, will some day find that dream a reality. Before the beginning you and I and the continents and seas and stars and worlds were all dreams in the mind of one and because God dreamed, we are. I wish to thank the many friends both far and near who have written me, unknown to them though I may be, for their kind words of appreciation for these efforts.

The circus grounds look as dusty as the parade grounds Camp Funston. Every evening for the last steen days the boys have been practicing every stunt from hiking over the French mountains to learning how to capture a nest of German machine gunners with their teeth. So effective has been their training that everybody in the neighborhood wakes up in the middle of the night yelling "Left Face! " "Oblique, March!" "Squad Halt!" One husband remarks that his wife hauled off one night last week and hit him so hard in the neck that it was three hours before he could find his voice and ask her what she hit him with. Her reply was that she didn't remember hitting him, but that if she did she must have been practicing military science with the boys. And when they get ready to march away there won't be any slouches. They will walk down the street like men who have seen service. That's the way the Colored boys in this draft are putting things across. They are going to fight. They may not whip the whole German army, but it is corsets to catfish there's going to be a piece of the German army that will scatter around for souvenirs. And boys, send a souvenir back.

A very enthusiastic and yet patriotic program was rendered giving the boys much encouragement. The program opened by the singing of "America." A solo by Mrs. Isetta Malone; an address by Mr. Ray man. A reading, "When the Colored Poole; a solo by Mrs. Pearl Chris-Soldiers Enlisted," was delivered in a pleasing manner by Mrs. Smith. An address of "Encouragement" was given by Mrs. Lulu Colley, who has a son somewhere in France. Rev. I. B. Smith gave an interesting talk telling the boys that they would undergo an experience that would be long remembered. To remember to conquer by the sign of the cross. Rev. Mr. Smith in turn introduced to the audience, one of his old acquaintances, the Hon. Chas. H. Sloan, who made some very complimentary remarks in favor of the boys, saying in part: There will be a world of equality when this war is over. There will be less of class in America than ever known before. The span that now separates the rich from the poor, the dark race from the light race, will be merely a vision hardly perceptible. This mighty war will be a leavening process that will be filled with merit, rather than manifestation of the soul. After the conclusion of the pro gram the audience retired to the base.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION One of the largest republican conventions held in a number of years was held Tuesday in the auditorium. The convention was attended by Mr. J. E. Jeltz, Mr. J. H. Gibson and Mrs. Sarah Walker. The convention was called to order by State Chairman Beach about 12:45, the G. A. R. quartette rendering "The Star Spangled Banner," the audience joining in the chorus. Rev. J. H. Clemmons, pastor of Grace Methodist church, Lincoln, delivered the invocation. He prayed that the leaders in the state and nation, the officers and men of the army and navy, might be given courage, faith and endurance in the war. The convention dispensed with the reading of the call and accepted as members of the convention verbatim, all accredited delegates whose credentials were in the hands of the state committee. Mr. Devore of Lincoln was temporary chairman. A SPECIAL ARTICLE We expect soon to publish a special article on Lincoln, with illustrations of some of our homes and citizens. You will hear about it later. A very inspiring recital was given last Wednesday evening by two of our noted women, Madame Jean Hodges of New Zealand and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, formerly of Wilberforce college, at Walsh's hall. Though the attendance was small, the recital was one of marked eloquence. Madame Hodges is a woman of high ideals and unusual personality, exceptional musical ability and perseverance. Miss Brown is a woman of unusual talent, having gained her eminence as an elocutionist, not only through the possession of natural talents that unquestionably are hers, but because she has an unbounded capacity for thorough work and the intelligence necessary to make that work effective and appreciative. Madame Hodges and Miss Brown left on the following morning for Omaha, where another excellent recital was promised. A lawn social was given by the members of the choir on the A. M. church grounds Friday evening. A very pleasant evening was reported. Mrs. Hattie Burch entertained Friday evening in honor of Ms. Cora Price and son of Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. Jackson of Kansas City, Kas. A delightful evening was enjoyed. Mrs. Mabel Williams and children returned home Sunday from Sheridan, Wyo., where she had spent several months visiting at the home of her parents and other relatives. Mrs. J. W. Cooley entertained Wednesday afternoon at dinner in honor of Mr. Leonard Forbes, one of the drafted boys. Madame Jean Hodges and Miss Hallie Q.

Telephone Webster 673 --- THE MONITOR Appreciative Audience Greets Miss Ovington First Member Tells of the Organization and Achievements of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. OMAHA BRANCH IS ORGANIZED Starts Out Vigorously With a Membership of Fifty-two, Which It Is. Hoped Will Be Increased to Five Hundred Within a Year. LAST Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock Miss Mary White Ovipington of New York, vice president and in reality the founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, delivered an instructive address on "The Aims and Achievements of the Association," to a comparatively small, but highly appreciative and responsive audience, in Grove Methodist Episcopal church. As a result a local branch was organized with fifty-two members. The Rev. John Albert Williams was elected president; Mrs. James G. Jewell, secretary, and Mr. Alphonso Wilson, treasurer. The election of other officers was deferred until some subsequent meeting. The next meeting will be held Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in Grove M. E. church, to which the public is most cordially invited. Miss Ovington told how she became interested in improving conditions among the Colored people in New York City, for it was out of this local work that the national association really grew. It was while she was working in a white social settlement in New York that she had brought to her attention the fact that the poor housing conditions and other problems confronting the white people of New York were more acute among the Colored people. She had forced upon her attention gross injustices and discriminations against the Colored people which she had no idea existed in New York. She then turned to the study of and the working out of this northern "race problem" by social settlement work among the Colored people. In 1908 came the Springfield riots, and several newspaper articles dealing with the shocking scenes there enacted in the home of Abraham Lincoln. Among these articles was one by William English Walling in the Independent, entitled "Race War in the North," in which after describing the atrocities committed against the Colored people, M.L. Walling declared: "Either the spirit of the abolitionists, Lincoln and Lovejoy, must be revived and we must come to treat the Negro on a plane of absolute political and social equality or Vardaman and Tillman will soon have transferred the race war to the north. Yet who realizes the seriousness of the situation, and what large and powerful body of citizens is ready to come to their aid?" Miss Ovington's four years' study of conditions not only in the north, but also in the south, convinced her that the spirit of the abolitionists must be revived. She wrote Mr. Walling that she was one willing to join with him in trying to revive this spirit. The outcome of this correspondence was a call signed by the foremost men and women of the nation for a conference, which resulted in the organization on Lincoln's birthday, 1999, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which has achieved much for improving conditions. Continuing Miss Ovington said in part: This association made up of Colored and white members, has its headquarters at 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Its president is the eminent Boston lawyer, Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar association, the chairman of the board of directors, Major J. E. Spingarn, attached to the general staff of the United States army at Washington. Its present secretary is Mr. John R. Shillady. Its former secretary is Captain Roy Nash, some where in France leading the only artillery manned by Colored men in the world. It has a paid up membership of 38,000. The object of the Association is to secure to the Negro in the United States his full civil and political rights. It believes that in a democracy there is no place for a subject people; and it has striven during the nine years of its existence to secure for Colored people their full status as citizens. In this work it has the full support of the law since all racial discrimination in the United States is by its constitution, illegal. It has two statutes written into the law of the land that it can turn to and as it were present to you as its greatest contribution-during its nine years of life: The two decisions of the supreme court, one declaring the Grandfather Clause unconstitutional, the other denying the right to a municipality to segregate Negroes. Our president, Mr. Moorfield Storey, filed briefs in both of these cases and won them for you and for me; for an in- justice to the Negro is a sin to the white man, and each is helped when it is removed. Another thing we have done was the securing of the officers training camp at Des Moines. Major Spingarn, our chairman, went to Plattsburg to our first training camp. There he endeavored to secure the admittance of Negroes, but without success. He became convinced that a separate camp was necessary and by his exertions, backed by our Association, the administration accepted the Negro as an officer. Now we have over a thousand holding commissions. So little do the people of the country appreciate the splendid caliber of young Negro manhood that it was necessary to make a fight to secure their recognition for positions, not only in the ranks, but in commands. We are battling against lynching and mob violence, and if there is an editor of importance in this country who does not know about the shocking crimes that are committed weekly against the black man, it is his fault, not ours. We have sent out hundreds of thousands of copies of our investigations into the Tennessee lynchings, the Texas lynchings, the Louisiana lynchings, the East St. Louis riots and many others. We believe that the people of this country will not tolerate this mob violence, but will demand punishment of the offenders if they are only familiar with the facts. We favor legislation making lynching a federal offense. Colored and white soldiers today across the seas are fighting for liberty in Europe. We have helped to put them there, in such places as they can well fill, not laborers but soldiers. And while they are fighting for liberty abroad we are fighting for liberty at home, liberty for them and their people. We mean to have a good record for them when they return. This is a time of thanksgiving. A month ago we wrote to all our branches urging them to write in turn to the president of the United States respectfully urging him to say some word against lynching in his Fourth of July address. When that address was made we looked in vain for a rebuke to the lawless element in the land. We were disappointed, but in that we were foolish. It was not that the president did not intend to speak on the matter, it was that he desired to make it a separate piece of business, to address a message on this subject of mob violence to his fellow citizens. Of course, you have all read that message. We have a master in the art of noble, forceful speech at the White House, but never have we had a more magnificent utterance than that appearing in the press on July 26, asking the governors and officers of every community to make an end of the disgraceful evil of lynching, and upon the people of the country to stand out actively against it. From today on, every lyncher in the president's tremendous words, "adopts the standards of the enemies of the countries whom he affects to despise." There were twelve prayers, were there not, and only one thanksgiving. Let it not be the case in this event, but let us every one today personally send our message of gratitude to the man whom the country has chosen to guide it through this difficult time, expressing to him our appreciation of his denunciation of the spirit of mob law. Having brought to you the simple story of what this organization has done and is striving to do to improve conditions in this country for all of us, for tolerated injustice to any class of our citizens works injury to us all, and as this is a work in which Colored people and white people who believe in the triumph of right and are willing to strive for its accomplishment must sympathetically join, I hope that you will see your way clear to organize and join in this work. DOUGLAS REPUBLICAN LEAGUE RE-ELECTS OFFICERS Sends Resolution of Thanks to President Wilson for His Anti-Lynching Message. The Douglas Republican League met Tuesday night in St. Philip's Guild rooms, with M. F. Singleton presiding, re-elected officers and transacted other important business. The only changes made in the officers were the election of W. E. Alexander, as second vice president in the place of Dr. J. H. Hutten, resigned; and J. D. Crum as third vice president in the place of the Rev. W. T. Osborne, who has removed from the city. Vacancies were also filled on the several stargazing committees. Several new members joined the organization. A resolution of thanks was sent by the league to President Wilson for his anti-lynching message. It was decided to hold meetings weekly until further notice, the next meeting to be in the same place next Tuesday night, at which time a permanent place of meeting will be decided upon.

Money taken in $224.12. Last Sunday, the church opened a subscription list, with a view of raising money to be applied on its new edifice and had pledges to the amount of $1,335. Never was such a spirit of interest manifested. The people are ready to work as never before. Let us keep the good spirit burning. The last Sunday in November we are expecting to raise $1,500. Watch us go over the top. Next Sunday will be covenant in the morning, fellowship of new members and communion. At night a special sermon by request will be preached. We were well entertained by a splendid message delivered by Rev. P. C. Parker of Beulah Baptist church, Council Bluffs, Ia., Sunday night. A crowded audience sad the burning of the mortgage and the second anniversary of the Rev. M. H. Wilkinson and wife. About 40 or 50 people were turned away that could ont get into the church. The committee spared no pains in making this one of the greatest affairs ever witnessed in Mount Moriah. A delightful three-course lunch was served. The speakers of the evening were: Mr. G. W.

Left Shreveport in a hurry scurry manner. Missed the train at the depot, but through the kindness of my friend, Dr. Kane, and his efficiency as a chauffeur, dashed in his speedy automobile down through the railroad yards to where the T. & P. crosses the V. S. & P., causing the later train to halt long enough at this point for me to scramble aboard (some exciting chase, eh), but it was a fitting starter for the second act of this tableau that was to be staged in the safest spot in Monroe, La. I arrived there in the midst of a drenching rain and thunderstorm, and alighting from the train was accosted by a big policeman, who said that I could find all of the Negroes down the track, pointing at the same time in the direction in which he wished me to go, but when I informed him that I "could not see his point," there was a regular Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde in his attitude, and he grasped me firmly, yet gently by the arm and assisted me by the arm to the Majestic drug store, where I was warmly welcomed by Drs. Hudson and McClanahan, to whom, of course, I had to introduce myself, having no former acquaintance. The officer standing by hearing my name and the mentioning of my business, stepped forward and said you and your paper both are welcome in Monroe. "We need men like you and papers like the one you represent, so call and see the mayor and the editor of the daily and they will indorse what I have said." Two days in Monroe was sufficient to demonstrate to me that it had changed its code and attitude towards our people to a great extent. The representative men of our race were being invited to confer with the heads of the city, and invited to suggest the best measures to be inaugurated to bring about a better understanding between the races. Tuesday night I boarded the north bound Iron Mountain for Pine Bluff, Ark. They call this the Iron Mountain railroad, but I would call it the "cinder path," for about 5 o'clock in the morning when I arrived at my destination the floor of the coach was an inch deep in cinders. Pine Bluffs was gay with bunting decorations, flags and filled with visitors for the state grand lodge of the K. of P.'s was in session here. I mined with the delegates each tisimal sermon. Visitors and friends welcome. Sunday night, "Fellowship," and administration of the Lord's supper. The Mission Circle met Thursday afternoon with Sister Lula Whidby, 5019 South 29th street. Mrs. Franklin of 30th and R streets, who died Saturday, was buried Monday afternoon from Bethel Baptist church the Rev. Mr. Taggart officiating. Jones and Chiles had charge of the remains. Visitors and friends who attend morning service and wish to remain to the baptizing will find hot chicken dinner and plenty of refreshments at Mrs. Velma Hill Scott's, 5008 South 27th street.—Advertisement. ST. JOHN'S CHURCH Miss Corinne Thomas, Editress. The Sunday morning services were very beautiful. The Rev. W. C. Williams preached one of his masterpieces to a very large and appreciative audience. The choir also added much grace and grandeur to the services, being accompanied throughout with a cornetist, Mr. Clifford Roberson, who will continue to play with the choir. There were five persons added to the church. The collection for the day was $140.31. Mr. Chas. Garrett is ill at his residence on 27th and Harney streets. The usher board gave a very enjoyable lawn fete Friday evening on the beautiful lawn of Mrs. E. King, 2810 North 28th street. A very pleasant time was spent by all attending. The big "Carnival of All Nations," under the auspices of Zion Baptist and St. John's will start Monday, August 12, and last until August 19. The two queen candidates are Misses Aline Bentley of Zion and Corrine Thomas of St. John's. This is promoised to be a very brilliant affair, and we sincerely hope that everyone will take a hold and do their "bit." day at their sessions, which was held in the large auditorium of the Colored school, Grand Chancellor Avant of Helena, Ark., presiding. I met many acquaintances and admirers of The Monitor, as well as a few personal friends among them was Richard B. Harrison, the Shakespearean reader, residing at this point, being the financial secretary of the Haygood Industrial school.

The regulations regarding the reduction of the use of gas and electricity have caused considerable feeling in London among households using these supplies for lighting and cooking purposes. The effect of the order has been to place the careful person who has kept down her bills in a more difficult position than her neighbor who has been wasteful. Many families in view of the coal rationing scheme have installed gas or electricity for heating and warming purposes, and they now find that under the conditions of the order these appliances will be insufficient for their needs. The object of the order was stated as being the saving of coal, but the effect, especially in the middle-class homes, will be to rely more on the coal fire for cooking and heating purposes than the other means, and as a result more coal will be burned. The London traffic problem was never in even a fair way of solution until the American experts came over and took the matter in hand some years ago. But they succeeded in doing more than solving the problem of rapid transit—they taught the people to use their systems, and the passenger traffic of London has grown enormously in consequence. Today experts are needed more than ever as the situation of London traffic under the present condition goes from bad to worse. The commanding by the military authorities has reduced the supply of motor omnibuses to a mere dribble, while the saving of coal and electricity has caused the withdrawal of many of the surface cars and the subway trains. In consequence every vehicle is crowded, and to attempt to board either train or car or bus during the rush hours is only a possibility for the athlete. A soldier at Camp Beauregard wrote the editor of a paper at Pine Bluff, Ark., saying he would like to correspond with a Pine Bluff girl with a view to matrimony. The editor published the letter. The following day the soldier received ten proposals from as many girls. Proposals are still pouring in.
