ATTENTION COLORED WAR VETERANS
Latest Informa Concerning Government Life and Compensation for Ser. By Lieut. J. William. Offd.
(Representative Colored S and Sailors War Risk Bure. Washington, D. C., May 2.
Washington, D. C., May 20, gardless of how long your government life insurance has lapsed or been canceled and regardless of how long you have been discharged from the service, a special ruling permits your reinstatement at any time before July 1, 1920, provided a signed statement is made to the effect that you are in good health. This is an opportunity that no service man can afford to spurn or neglect. Government policies are cheaper and contain more liberal provisions than the average life insurance policy offered by private firms.
It is important to colored veterans to know that in reality this insurance is offered to all former service men as a measure of compensation for service rendered during the recent war.
Many colored former service men are unaware that a new law provides that the insured may request that at the time of his death his beneficiary be paid the amount of his United States government converted insurance in one lump sum. Also, many are entitled to enjoy the benefits of government life insurance who do not know that there is a provision in every policy which permits the payment of regular monthly payments to the insured former service men in the event that they become totally and permanently disabled by any cause and at any time during their lives provided they have not allowed their policies to lapse.
Compensation.
It is indeed unfortunate that many disabled colored former service men are not taking the proper steps to secure government compensation which congress has provided. There are thousands who are ignorant of the fact that not only the service man who became disabled while in the service but those who may become disabled any time within one year as a result of injury incurred in the service may claim government compensation, and if their claims are allowed they will receive monthly financial compensation in accordance with the per cent of their disability. Compensation is given without charge to a service man, regardless of whether war risk insurance is carried by him or not, and is payable for all degrees of disability rated over a 10 per cent reduction in earning capacity.
All colored service men who have a just reason to suppose that their health has been impaired because of their military service and who wish to file a claim for government compensation which has been provided for them should write to this office at once requesting the necessary application blanks for government compensation; prompt and sympathetic attention will be given all such requests.
TEXAS GOVERNOR
URGED TO VINDICATE
HONOR OF STATE
National Association Requests Apprehension and Punishment of Lynchers of Charles Arline for Alleged Threats.
New York, May 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has made public a telegram sent to Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas in which the association urges the apprehension and punishment of the lynchers of Charles Arline, a Negro, who, arrested for "threatening to kill" a white man was taken from officers at Woodville, Tyler county, Texas, on May -8, by forty masked men and flogged to death. The association calls the attention of the governor to the recent conviction and placing under suspended sentence of three men in Van Zandt county, Texas, for the lynching of a Negro in 1919 and says that if these convictions could be followed up by energetic action in the Tyler county case, particularly if in this case sentence should be carried out instead of suspended, it would be an act to vindicate Texas from the charge that white men who lynch Negroes may do so with impunity.

(By Associated Negro Press.)
Chicago, Ill., May 20.—The strike of waiters and cooks in the big hotels in this city has again raised the question of the availability of colored men to fill these positions.

Colored Scientist First in America to Receive Grant From Research Council
Colored Scientist First in America to Receive Grant From Research Council
Dr Ernest E. Just, Professor of Biology at Howard University and Winner of the First Spingarn Medal, Wins This Distinguished Honor.—Has Written Extensively on Fertilization and Kindred Topics and Is a Member of Leading Scientific Bodies.
PROFESSOR JUST'S CAREER INDICATES A NEW FIELD FOR AMBITIOUS YOUTHS OF RACE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, officially announces that the National Academy of Sciences, operating under congressional charter, the highest scientific body in America, has notified the authorities of Howard university, an institution for the training of Negro youth, that beginning with the school year of 1920-21, it will provide a grant at the university for Dr. Ernest E. Just, that the latter may be free for teaching and for research work wholly in the field of the physiology of development.
Dr. Scott made the above official announcement in an address on "The Progress of the American Negro in Science, Art and Literature," at the meeting of the Southern Sociological congress, held here in Washington this week. He said: "This is the National Research council's first grant in the field of biology, in fact, the only grant so far made by the National Research council in any of the fields of scientific research. It is a very great distinction to come to any member of any race. To the Negro people of America it is an honor and a distinction greatly prized for it serves once more to remind us that the competitions of intellect know no color line."
Dr. Just's Career.
Dr. Just was born in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1883. He was graduated from Kimball Union Academy.
MISSOURI REPUBLICANS

DELEGATE-AT-LARGE
Colored Citizens of the State Practically Unanimous For Him. Nominated by Acclamation. Roll Call Gives Him Vote of Every Delegate.

AFRICAN METHODISTS
ELECT FOUR BISHOPS
(By Associated Negro Press.)
St. Louis, Mo., May 20.—The general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church have elected the following persons as bishops of that denomination and they were consecrated before a congregation of 10,000 people in the Coliseum here last Sunday: Dr. W. D. W. D. Johnson, of Georgia; Dr. A. J. Carey, of Chicago; Dr. W. S. Brooks, of Baltimore; Dr W. T. Vernon, of Memphis; Dr. W. A. Fountain, of Atlanta.
The election was spirited and a large number of candidates were presented to the delegates.
The following were elected as general officers:
Editor Christian Recorder, Dr. R. R
Meriden, New Hampshire, in 1903, and from Dartmouth College, Hanover, in 1907, being the only Magna Cum Laude man in his class. He received his degree, doctor of philosophy, from the University of Chicago, in zoology and physiology, in 1916. For ten years he has been a student at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Hole, Massachusetts. He has been a worker under such scientists as Dr. Frank R. Lillie, professor of zoology; Dr. A. P. Mathews, professor of biochemistry, and Dr. A. J. Carlson, professor of physiology—all scholars of the front rank serving on the faculty of the University of Chicago. Dr. Just is the author of various papers on fertilization, artificial parthenogenesis and kindred topics. Dr. Lillie, in his book on "Problems of Fertilization," refers fifteen times by citation to the researches and scientific conclusions of Dr. Just, who is a members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, of the American Society of Zoologists, of the American Museum, and the society of the Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa.
Governor Charles S. Whitman presented him on February 12, 1915, the first Spingarn medal, "offered annually to the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor."

Jones and Attorney W. C. Hueston. Bishop Parks presided and a fund of $1,500.00 was raised to assist in carrying Dr. Bundy's case to the Supreme Court.
HARVARD AND YALE
PROFESSORS ON HOWARD
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Washington, D. C., Ma y20.—Two distinguished educators of more than national reputation, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, Eaton professor of the science of government in Harvard university, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean of the School of Theology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, have been elected to membership upon the board of trustees of Howard University. Thus two of the oldest and most famous of American educational institutions become linked in interest and sympathy with the "GREATER HOWARD" reconstruction movement. Dr. Hart was present at the inauguration of Dr. Durkee as president of Howard University and delivered one of the notable addresses upon that occasion. Dean Brown attended the annual convocation recently held at Howard and spoke twice to interested groups of educators gathered from all parts of the country, and to the officers, teachers and students of the university.
These splendid additions to the board of trustees together with the recent nomination of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt of Oyster Bay, New York, indicate that Howard is indeed adding to her already strong board of trustees a group of dynamic forces to help her establish her claim to recognition as a university truly national.

WANTS HISTORY
BARRED FROM SCHOOLS
(By Associated Negro Press.)
Atlanta, Ga., May 20—General N. B. Forrest, a son of "Fort Pillow" General Forrest, is making a vigorous effort to have barred from the public schools of this city "The History of the American People," published by Beard and Bagley, because it is "highly socialistic in nature, treats unfairly the Negro question, is repugnant to the people of the south, is not in accord with historical facts and magnifies heroes of the northern armies." General Forrest has declared that although he has made Atlanta his permanent home, he will keep his children out of school before he will allow them to be taught from the Baird and Bagley history.
AMERICAN TROOPS
CLEAN OUT OUTLAWS
Port Au Prince, Haiti, May 20. American troops have succeeded in clearing the Carribeian islands of a large band of outlaws who have been preying on the islanders near Haiti for a number of years.

MODERN HOSPITAL AT OHIO CAPITAL
Colored Physicians Build and Equip First Institution of Its Kind in Buckeye State—Drs. Method and Tribett Founders.
MEDICAL EXPERTS TO
COMPRISE STAFF
(By Associated Negro Press.)
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 20.—There was formally opened in this city, one of the prettiest and most thoroughly modern hospitals, built and owned and conducted by colored professional men in the country. Being the first hospital of its kind to be built and conducted by colored men in Ohio, the very appropriate name of Alpha hospital has been given the institution. The hospital was conceived, built and equipped by Dr. M. A. Method, surgeon and physician and graduate of the medical department of the Ohio State university, and Dr. R. M. Tribbett, surgeon dentists, graduate of Howard university. Both of these men, although enjoying a wonderful practice in their particular lines, felt the need of a hospital wherein colored physicians might operate—might have an opportunity to realize the dream of every medical man—become a specialist. Alpha hospital contains rooms for eighteen beds, in addition to operating room, x-ray outfit, all necessary rooms requisite for a modern hospital. Its staff will comprise a number of the best known colored and white medical experts in the city.
WEALTHY WHITE MAN
RAPES COLORED CHILD
Lustful Degenerate Is Killed by Girl's Father, Who Is Acquitted by Jury Which Returns Verdict of Justifiable Homicide. -
CIVIL AUTHORITIES
HAD FAILED TO ACT
LANCASTER, Wis., May 20.—Jack Green, an aged colored man of this city, was acquitted by a verdict of "justifiable homicide" by a jury in the criminal court for the killing of William Duncan, a wealthy white auto dealer of this city. The cause of the killing was the raping of Green's 14-year-old daughter by Duncan. Evidence produced at the trial proved that Duncan had outraged the girl and then threatened her with death if she divulged the crime. The attorneys who defended the father of the girl declared that their client was justified in the killing because the civil authorities had failed to apprehend Duncan upon the charges made by Green of Duncan's continued advances toward his child. Green, they declared had appealed to the police and to the civil powers without avail and then crazed by the shame he had killed the despoiler. The jury took the view of the defendant's lawyer and acquitted Green.

FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS
COMMANDMENTS.
AC is seething with discon-
content. Not only America, but
the world. Many reasons are as-
signed for it. Some are pertinent,
some far-fetched. Attempt to disguise
it or ignore it as we may, the sad and
deplorable fact remains that despite
our talk of brotherhood and democ-
racy, each man’s hand is at the
throat of his brother. It ought not to
be so, but it is. The strained relations
between capital and labor, more ser-
ious than surface conditions indicate is
a case in point. So also is the thinly
veiled antagonistic temper of various
racial groups, composing the nations
displayed from time to time against
‘one another. The country seethes
with discontent which genders hatred
and ill-will. Many trace this unhappy
condition to the world war. Nor are
they far wrong. War is evoked by a
spirit of hate and reprisal, and this
spirit once conjured is not easily exor-
cised or allayed. “This kind goeth
not forth but by prayer and fasting.”
‘The only panacea for the spirit of
discontent which seriously threatens
the peace and perpetuity of the world
is the invocation of the Spirit of
Christ, Who by precept and example
teaches that all men are brethren.
And the manifestation of this spirit
is an individual matter. Each indivi-
dual must go back to the first prin-
ciples of reverence for God, the
Father of all mankind, and obedience
to His commandments. The individual
must fear God and keep His com-
mandments; for individual righteous-
ness, right thinking, right living, must
precede civic, communal, national and
international righteousness. No mat-
ter what others may be doing it is
up to the individual who believes in
Christian principles to actively con-
tribute his share to the prosperity
and peace of the nation by a consis-
tent and courageous life, Impending
disaster can only be averted by indiv-
idual acknowledgment of the necessity
for each one of us to “fear God and
‘keep His commandments; for this is
the whole duty of man.”
A NEW EXCHANGE FROM WHICH
WE QUOTE.
TS Michigan State News is the
name of a neatly printed, well-
edited new exchange which has just
come to our desk from Grand Rapids,
Michigan. Its editor is Geoge M.
Smith, who many years ago was in
our Sunday school class in St. Mat-
thew’s church, Detroit. This fact nat-
urally adds a note of personal inter-
est to this publication, which we wish
abundant success and prosperity. The
following editorial from last week’s
issue of The News is so timely and s0
applicable to almost every communi-
ty that we gladly quote it in full
here as expressing our own senti-
ments:
“In nearly all of the smaller cities
of the state as well as in the larger
ones the necessity of a definite and
practical method of providing suit-
able homes is claiming the attention
of all forward-looking citizens.
In most of our cities and towns
committees and organizations are
now working on this grave situation.
‘Where there is no such committee or
organized effort there should be one.
No phase of our progress is more
vital than the securing of proper
dwellings for our citizens.
Good homes owned and occupied
by us are not only concrete and
tangible evidence of our ambitions
and well-being, but they are also ab-
solutely to our fuller and finer de-
velopment.
* Good wages and better working
conditions and better churches can-
not take the place of suitable and
adequate homes. In fact it is in the
home that the desire for and the de-
‘velopment to appreciate better civic
conditions is formed.
‘Today homes are scarce and good
homes are greatly in demand. For
this very reason it is the all-impor-
tant duty of every community to see
that our people do not suffer unduly
or unjustly in the matter of secur-
ing decent and desirable homes.
Our education, our progress and
our standing demands this. Our
self-respect, the respect we expect
from our neighbors and our determi-
nation to keep abreast with all other
Americans cannot possibly grow as it
should in surroundings less desirable
than those occupied by others.
We have harder times securing
good homes, therefore we must ex-
ert more effort and give this serious
condition the attention that it merits.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
The next president of the United
States is to be elected in November.
The nominations for the office are
to be made in June. Politics satur-
ates the air at this time from one
end of the country to the other. The
office of “chief executive” is the
greatest in the gift of the nation, and
has international aspects of the most
far reaching kind.
The people of our group, from one
end of the country to the other are
much concerned about the personality
of the individual who is to be elected
by convention for the office. The
republican party having enjoyed the
advantage of our support for so
many years is naturally being care-
fully watched, and the leaders and
candidates are being scrutinized as
never before. It is no far fetched
statement to declare that at this
time, as important as may be party
loyalty, political principle means
more than anything else. It is highly
essential that all political maneuver-
ing and strategy, leading to the “con-
summation devoutly to be wished”
must bear this fact in mind.
The action of “lily white” democrats
posing as “dyed in the wool” repub-
licans in the south in states where
contests have been brought about,
has stirred the thoughtful people
everywhere. The sentiment of the en-
tire race is expressed by Robert R.
Church when he declares that the
republican party is put to the acid
test, and will rise or fall by its Chi-
cago decisions and declarations.
The new thought and the new atti-
tude of the new Negro must be recog-
nized. It is neither a theory nor a
dream, but a practical reality. The
new Negro everywhere is resolved to
live or die now and forever on the
principles of eternal justice. He is
not unreasonable in his demands, does
not expect miracles to be performed,
but he does expect a “showdown” and
though he “walks through the valley
of the shadow of death,” fears no
evil. He figures, and rightly, that
“decision day” has come.
For example, these are notable in-
cidents in the trend of events: Vir-
ginia, Texas, North and South Caro-
line, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Louisana, and a few other
states are playing the “lily white”
game with pernicious activity. Gov-
ernor Lowden of Illinois defiantly op-
posed in the state convention the pro-
posed platform of Mayor William
Hale Thompson of Chicago, which in-
cluded the cutting down of represen-
tation in congress and the electoral
college where franchise is denied;
only two men mentioned for president
have openly declared in favor of the
‘kind of justice the Negro demands,
namely, Nicholas Murray Butler of
‘New York, and General Leonard
Wood. New parties are being proposed
by those tired of both democratie and
republican inefficiency .and indiffer-
ence, These facts are notable,
PERISCOPE.
THE HOPE OF FRANCE,
The French Blacks,
By William Pickens, New York, N. Y.
Africa has been the refuge for good
men and good principles ever since
the angel told the father and the
THE MONITOR
mother to take the child and “flee
into Egypt.” 0 men of France! the
sole security of your future is in a
close and closer alliance with your
blacks in Africa. It is your best hope
for military prestige, and perhaps for
economic existence, and possibly for~
lifeblood itself.
It is more than an accident of his-
tory that black men saved you in
the dangerous day from Teutonic ar-
rogance and barbarism. It was a
dispensation of the Providence who
shapes our ends. The white world
is going to desert you, to be sure,
you are shade of, its color and flesh
of its flesh, but’ you are not of its
genius and spirit. You are the last
liberal spirit left in the white world
today. More than English, German
or American, You still feel that you
are men among men in the world,
‘The dominant feeling among most
other whites is that they are men
among brutes and half brutes.
Your liberalism is your providential
strong point and it is more than an
accident that a great black people
have been closely allied with your re-
cent interests and your destiny.
You alone among white nations
seem to be near to the realization
that God made the world for all men
of all colors, or that he would not
have made all colors of men for the
world. It is true that the colored
race originated civilization; that is,
that they happened to be the first
people civilized. But that does not
sive them any better title to civiliza-
tion than it gives you and the Ger-
man—although your ancestors and tne
ancestors of Kaiser Wilhelm were ex-
traordinarily late in adopting civiliza-
tion, Civilization is the joint product
of all the races of Africa, Asia and
Europe, who contributed to it. When
the German was a wild thing, civiliz-
ation was being nursed in Africa,
A close alliance with your African
blacks, mighty in their fecundity and
endurance, is your one best bet for
future life and power.

ties in the last few years for carry-
ing on investigation in its laborator-
ies. Also because of the important
bearing which these investigations
have in the field of agriculture, the
department sent him to Northern
Maine Experimental laboratory,
where better facilities were offered
for carrying on his investigations in
connection with the sterility of the
white potato. Professor Turner will
give attention while at Cornell next
year, also to “Education,” particular-
ly “Agricultural Education.” —Pro-
fessor George W. Hines, assistant
professor in the School of Commerce
and Finance, will attend the Unt
versity of Washington at Seattle. His
major work will be in corporation
finance, while he will also take cer-
tain studies in accounting and busi-
ness organization.
‘The university trustees have gen-
erously voted a substantial portion
of the yearly salaries received by
these professors along with the
year’s absence.

COLORED COMMUNITY
SERVICE FUND
A fund is being raised for con-
tinuing the excellent work of the
Lake street branch of community
service; which is confined to work
among our own people. Mr. Bullock
and Miss Lucille LaCour, who are
in charge of the activities are well
qualified for the positions which they
so acceptably fill and during their
brief terms of service here have en-
deared themselves to the community.
‘This work will have to be supported
mainly by subscriptions of our own
people. Generous contributions are
needed and there ought not be any
difficulty in raising the sum desired.
Generous white friends of this om-
portant work will doubtless contribute
toward it, but the bulk of the money
ought to come from our own group.
We have the ability to support any
institution needed and it is high time
we did so.

FIRST BUSINESS MANAGER OF
MONITOR IN THE CITY
Joseph LaCour wo has been absent from Omaha for the past two years studying at Howard and Columbia universities, and working for the last few months at Richmond, Va., returned home Tuesday morning much to the delight of his parents and friends. Mr. LaCour, it will be recalled, was the first business manager of The Monitor. He was then a student in the Omaha High school. Upon his graduation he entered the Nebraska State university at Lincoln, and at the outbreak of the war was enrolled as a member of student officers' training camp. The officer in charge took the position that a colored student could not train there, although a regularly enrolled student of the university. The chancellor of the university went on record as stating that this was in direct conflict with the policy of the university which admitted all qualified students to its halls and cadet corps, of which privileges colored students had availed themselves without the slightest friction or embarrassment. Mr. LaCour was then sent to Howard university. His case was taken up with the War department, which ruled that students could and should be trained at he institutions where they were enrolled. Mr. LaCour could have returned to his state university, but inasmuch as his case had already caused him much loss of time, and returning to Nebraska would result in further delay, he decided to remain at Howard.
COMMERCIAL CLUB BULLETIN.
When you see the nifty button monogrammed CCC on a man's lapel, it tells you that he is a wide-awaks and progressive member of the Colored Commercial Club.
Mr. Business Man, expect a visit soon from the Club's "Trade Excursionists."
The Executive Committee held an interesting meeting last Thursday night with President Pryor presiding. Important business was transacted.
Dan Desdunes, chairman of the municipal affairs committee, desires to call the school children's attention to the fact that they can win a prize by cleaning up the tin cans in their alley. Particulars later.
