BLACK RACE URGED TO REMAIN LOYAL BLACK SOLDIER URGES YOUNG MEN AND OTHER MEMBERS OF RACE TO CONTINUE LOYAL VOL. I. NO. 26 BLACK BLACK SOLDIER UR MEN AND OTHER RACE TO (Editor's Note: The following article was written by a member of our race—a soldier who is now on the firing line. We think it a remarkable document, coming as it does from a man who himself needs encouragement.) Following is the article: To the young men of the colored population of the United States, I wish to call your attention to the ceaseless thoughts of the young men of the present age; but I must first say that I am proud of those who are now and have been for over fifty years striving to reach a heaven. You are living in an age of progress, an age of realities, where we can develop our forces to the measure of our power to compete with any race or nation, however great it may be. We are blessed with many privileges of mental, moral and physical development. It is true that the progress of the colored race was made through oppression and hard struggle, but ever remember that "the darker the night the brighter the star." Taking this under consideration, we must be men that stand for liberty and the best of patriotism. We look through the vale of time past and discover many unconstitutional facts. We look again at the great prejudice that continues to exist against us by the people of the opoite race, but you must realize that out of our oppression and hard struggle we are gaining strength. Therefore, I will say unto you, be not discouraged. Continue to advance. Bend to the ear, though the tide be against you. It is true that the whole world seems to knock you, but think not of yourselves as an unfit character, neither a man without a country. It is not the black man's fault of being an American-birthed citizen, and neither NEGRO MUST LOOK AHEAD SAYS DR. R. R. MOTON President of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School Urges All Negroes to Plan Ahead and Support Worthy Enterprises Among the Race. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—Speaking here at the nineteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute and chairman of the executive committee, issued a clear-cut, logical call to his race in a constructive after-the-war economic program. Dr. Moton said in part: "The economic struggle which is to follow the conclusion of peace will be second only to the great war which is now in progress in Europe. With the end of bloodshed and strategy on the battlefield we may expect to see the world engulfed in a new grapple for economic ascendency. Strategy on the battlefield will give place to strategy in the market place. It is well for us to ask the question now: After the war—what? Already steps are being taken to re-educate partially disabled soldiers so that they may engage in technical work. This is going to mean a multiplying of the exigencies of the situation, and we may expect to see factories of all sorts turning out products at prices greatly reduced over the present scale. "America is already looking ahead and planning to meet this great new crisis, and the best brains of America are even now being mobilized in a gigantic effort to protect the interests of the American people. Germany and her allies and the other European countries are likewise looking ahead to see a mighty economic deadlock throughout the world for many years after the war." "Just how the negro of America will be placed in the great readjustment we do not know, but it is idle (Continued on Page 4) is it his fault of being a mixed race of people. He was some centuries ago sold to people of the white race as slaves, and was under bondage for two hundred years or more before he received his freedom. This is a great thing to think of, knowing that the Almighty created all men equal and gave to all a portion of the globe. The black man was brought from his own country and was forced to hew down the forests of America and heap up measures for his master, who held over him a cruel hand of prejudice that still and forever will exist for him. But out of all unfriendly treatment the black man has been loyal to the Stars and Stripes. He fought for his master's liberty in the great struggle; the black man was the first to spill his blood to secure liberty for the white man. Though his race remained in slavery. In 1898, when threats were made by a foreign foe, the black man at once offered himself as a sacrifice for his country. He is now en route to defend the country against Germany. So I will plead to you: Continue to be a loyal and generous race. Think not of the past, and work out in yourself a high standard of life. The entire nation can see your loyal and generous efforts for your country. You have never deceived nor betrayed it. So I will say unto your, Be men! and do your bit, and in the meantime you will be a race of races. Then you can look backward over the progress of the race and say to the old men of the colored race: I honor you for what you have done. To the middle-aged men, I honor you for what you are doing, and to the young men, I honor you for what you are going to do. CLEO P. SHERRILL, Corp. Co. B, 312 Bbr. Bon., N. A. & A. E. F. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The executive committee of the National Race Congress has prepared a petition asking Director General McAdoo for the suspension of the "Jim Crow" laws as a war measure, and will take up the matter officially with him soon. Arrangements are being made for a great meeting of the Race Congress in this city October 1 by the Rev. H. J. Callis, chairman of the executive committee. This will be the antilynching session of the Congress, and steps will be taken in keeping with the spirit of the recent message of the President in denunciation of mob violence. Churches, societies, labor organizations and other groups in the race are expected to send delegates. GEORGIA DRAFTED MEN BENEFITED BY TRAINING WASHINGTON, D. C.—Col. Henry Lincoln Johnston of Atlanta is visiting his family, who reside here. Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson, his wife, has issued a volume of soulful verse and is considered a literary woman. In commenting upon the fact that Georgia will furnish some 5,000 colored draftees to the army, Col. Johnson said: "If you could see the colored draftees transformed from a slouching, indifferent, hat-in-hand fellow from the swamp region into a smart-looking, khaki dressed, upstanding soldier of Uncle Sam, who would not take his hat off even to the Governor, you would say, just as I do to General Crowder, "Take as many as you want, General." ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1918 OVER 3000,000 COLORED MEN DRAFTED SINCE WAR BEGAN Emmett J. Scott of the War Department Gives Out Some Interesting Figures at Session of National Negro Business League—Forty Chaplains in the Army. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—In his patriotic address on "Winning the War," Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, aroused great enthusiasm at the session of the National Negro Business League, held here last week, when he gave statistics showing that more than 300,000 American Negroes have been drafted to help make the world safe for democracy. Mr. Scott in his report called attention to the fact that in the first registration 737,626 Negroes were registered out of a total of 9,586,508; that is to say, 7.69 per cent of the total registration of June 5, 1917, was composed of Negro registrants. The total number of colored men called by the Provost Marshal General's office up to and including July 15, 1918, was 227,541, while the total number called to August 8, 1918, was 311,308. He spoke in detail of what the colored people of the country are doing to help win the war, mentioning among other things that some forty colored chaplains are now serving in the National Army along with one thousand colored officers who have been commissioned as captains, first and second lieutenants in the United States army and in the Medical Reserve Corps. Two divisions of Negro troops are now in France with eight combat regiments to be trained in various cantonments in the country. Mr. Scott referred to the authorization by the War Department of the colored Red Cross nurses and spoke of the opportunities that are being provided for the technical training of colored men in many institutions of learning. UNITED STATES ARMY WANTS WAR CHAPLAINS FOR COLORED TROOPS WASHINGTON, L. C.—There is great need in the army for chaplains for colored troops, and a statement authorized by the war department is to the effect that a chaplain is needed for every 1,200 officers and men. The army wants a special kind of chaplain—sturdy, upstanding, brotherly men between the ages of 21 and 45 years, who care a great deal more about the welfare of soldiers than about distinctions and creeds. So far it has been the most difficult to secure a proper number of colored chaplains for colored troops. At the army chaplain school at Zachary Taylor a number of men are now receiving training, which is practical and intensive. To get into this school the candidate, if a Protestant, must have the approval of a committee of the Federal Council of Church of Christ in America, 1112 Woodward building, Washington, D. C. Then he must pass a physical test of the local draft board. While at school he receives free subsistence. When he has completed the course successfully, he is allowed mileage home at the rate of 3.1-2 cents a mile; and when he is appointed he takes the rank and pay of a first lieutenant of the national army, $2,000 a year, and $2,200 abroad. A new class began August 23. It would not be amiss for some of the churches to release ministers for the period of the war. The tragic thing so far with reference to colored chaplains is that it has been impossible out of the hundreds of applications to get enough men to meet the educational and other requirements of the service. Any minister desiring additional information as to the Training School for Chaplains or wishing an appointment as chaplain should communicate directly with the adjutant general of CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF WISCONSIN TRIES TO BAR NEGRO BALLUT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF WISCONSIN TRIES TO BAR NEGRO BALLUT Governor of Wisconsin Believes That Ignorant Blacks Should Be Denied Right to Vote, But Says Nothing About Ignorant Whites. (Wisconsin State Journal) In his Decoration Day address at Baraboo, Governor Philipp declared that the ignorant negro should not be permitted to vote, that he favored a literacy test on all negroes who desire to exercise the citizens' right of franchise. The governor, declaring that the negro does not know how to use the abbot intelligently, said: "When the negro advances in education (if he ever shall) to the point where he possesses those qualifications that every American voter should possess, he will be in a position to demand his rights and get them." Observe the modifying parenthetical remark, "if he ever shall." Apparently the governor doubts it. Let his doubt stand without comment, but let us ask the governor why he limits the literacy test to the negro. To do so is race discrimination; it is the repudiation of the labor of Abraham Lincoln. And yet Governor Philipp asks the voters of Wisconsin to recognize him as a Republican. There is wisdom in the demand for a literacy test' for those who seek to vote. We agree with the governor that it is a physical impossibility for the ignorant to vote intelligently. We believe in a literacy test. But we do not believe in a literacy test against any single class, no matter how you class them, by race, by color, by creed or property claim. If he is to apply the literacy test either here or in Mississippi, let him apply it to everybody who would seek to exercise the rights of American citizenship, be he black or white or some sunburnt shade in between—let him give the ballot to every American who can pass the literacy test, whether that American be man or woman. It is the votes of the intelligent Americans we want, but not the vote of one race or of one sex. PHILADELHIA RIOT GIVEN ANOTHER. AIRING PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—As an aftermath of the race riots which resulted in the death of four men three weeks ago in the vicinity of Twenty-sixth and federal streets, Robert Ramsey, a white policeman, was held without bail, pending the action of the coroner, when arraigned before Magistrate Pennock at City Hall. He was held following the mysterious shooting of Riley Bullock, who was slain on the steps of Twentieth and Federal streets police station on July 29. The hearing of Mrs. Adelia White Bond on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill has been indefinitely postponed by counsel for both sides, who appeared before the magistrate and agreed to the continuance. Mrs. Band, who is attached to the probation court, was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Joseph Kelly (white), who was shot during the recent race riot in the southern part of the city. Sailors and marines who participate in race riots will hereafter be the limits of the navy yard at League Island. The ruling to this effect was given out in a statement made Monday at the office of the was said agents of the department of justice. After an investigation by them it was said they had discovered that a crowd of men in uniform started the riots that resulted in the injury of a score of people, including whites and blacks, at Strawberry Mansion last week. District Attorney Kane said he would co-operate in every way with the city police in an effort to stamp out the conditions that exist in the southern section of the city, where the earlier riots occurred. the army. Protestant ministers may also find it desirable to get in touch with the federal Council of Churches, 1112 Woodward building, Washington, D. C. TRIBUNE COLORED WOMEN ARE BARRED FROM CAR CLEANERS UNION "LYNCHING WORSE THAN PRUSSIANIM AND AIDS THE CAUSE OF GERMANY" (Oakland, Calif., Sunshine.) Women car cleaners employed by the railroad administration in the Southern Pacific coach yards in Oakland have organized a union which will be known as the Oakland Women's Branch of the Brotherhood of Railroad Carmen. A meeting was held a week ago for preliminary organization, and the branch has been placed on a permanent basis. There are now about 90 women working in the yard, and the new organization boasts the largest number of these in its membership. The women's scale up to August 1 was 29.3-4 cents an hour, the same as the men's scale. The women expect a share in the raise to WILSON EXTENDS LENIENCY TO CON- DEMNED SOLDIERS WASHINGTON, D.C.—Death sentences to ten negro soldiers who participated in the riot at Houston, Texas, August 23, 1917, have been commuted to life imprisonment by President Wilson. In six other cases the president affirmed the death sentences because the condemned men had been found guilty of having deliberately and with great cruelty murdered civilians. Thirteen Aleardy Hanged This action, announced today by the war department, concludes the cases of twenty-nine negroes given the death penalty for their part in the riot, Thirteen were executed and the president was called on to review the findings in sixteen cases. The president found that the ten whose sentences he commuted had not been convicted of personally and directly causing deaths. The soldiers involved were not named in the war department's statement. "I commute the remaining sentences," the president said in a statement attached to the record, "because I believe the lesson of this lawless riot will have been adequately pointed out by the action already taken and that now directed, and also because I desire the clemency here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service to the country of which they are citizens and for the liberties of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle." Wilson Reviews Cases The president reviewed the record at length, emphasizing the gravity of the riots' crime and the care taken by the military authorities to give them justice. "On the 23d of August, 1917, the so-called Houston riot took place," his statement said. "A mutinous and riotous group of soldiers participated in the affair, causing in all the death of fifteen persons and the wounding of twelve others, many of whom were innocent bystanders and all of whom were peaceably disposed civilians of the city of Houston. "Searching and thorough investigations were made into the riot, its causes, and the action of the persons who participated, with the result that ips of soldiers well by court martial, the cases being known, respectively, as the Nesbit, the Washington and the Tillman cases. The records of these trials have been carefully examined by the judge advocate general and the secretary of war, and they disclose that in each instance the court was properly constituted, was composed of officers of experience and sobriety of judgment, and the rights of the defendants were surrounded at every point by those safeguards which a humane administration of the law accords to those charged with grave offenses." SAYS SOUTHERN ATTORNEY Southern White Man Says Every Time Lynching Occurs in U. S. It Is More Important to Allen Than Lose of MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The following letter, written by Frank Wynne, a prominent white attorney of Merigold, Miss., recently appeared in the Commercial Appeal, in which he took a strong stand against the barbarous practice of lynching. Merigold is only about three miles south of Mound Bayou, the pioneer negro city. The letter follows: I have just finished reading your editorial, "Lynchings Most Helpful to the Prussians." You are right. Your statement, "we have got to stop this lynching business in the United States" is entirely correct. Again you say, "Every lynching in the United States is more hurtful to the allied cause than the loss of a brigade of soldiers." There can be no doubt but to some extent this is true, and we here, in counties of the size and population of Bolivar can especially appreciate the danger lurking in the lynching evil. You speak of the Osceola meeting and what the negroes did there—I can say that here in and around Merigold we have organized twelve war savings societies among the negroes—and you will have to admit that if Mississippi, and especially the delta, is going to raise its quota of the war savings money asked by the government, that it is absolutely necessary to enlist the negro to the last man of them. These societies have not only organized, but I can substantiate the fact that every member is an active worker and buyer of the stamps. Our town here is one of the smallest in the county, the last census giving us 242 people, yet the postoffice reports show Merigold to be leading the country by a good margin in the sale of war savings stamps. I can assign as a cause for this magnificent showing nothing else than the great interest which the negro has taken in the forwarding of every interest in this county. Again, on last Saturday, we had a mass meeting here for the negroes. At this meeting I. T. Montgomery of Mound Bayou made an excellent address to the members of his race. He was followed by a distinguished lawyer of this county, and nowhere in the talk of this lawyer was there a single reference to the loyalty of the negro. As a result of this mass meeting over 300 negroes that evening donated—not liberally, but practically—all that they had or could raise, and promised more. Immediately after the speaking, the negroes, on one of the largest and finest plantations in the south, through their white manager, asked that they be furnished HOT SPRINGS ARK. IS IDEAL PLACE SAYS REPORTER HOT SPRINGS ARK. IS IDEAL PLACE SAYS REPORTER "He sendeth the spring into the valleys, which run among the hills." So sang the Psalmist, enumerating the blessings of the Lord, bestowed upon man, and throughout all time, of which we have record, men have found strength and healing in the waters welling from the earth. Each spring in the earlier world had its own presiding god or goddess to whom was built an altar or temple. DeSoto sailed from Spain in 1538 for America, to take up the quest of Ponce DeLeon, who 26 years before had made a fruitless search for the Fountain of Youth, landing on the west coast of Florida. He, with his band of gallant men, proceeded in a northwesterly direction and in 1541 crossed the Mississippi river, the discovery of which is credited to him. LOYAL THAN PRUSSIANIM USE OF GERMANY" with speakers for a meeting which was to be held at one of their churches in the neighborhood, and the manager made this statement at the time: "Every negro has promised to give to the Red Cróss, and I want to say that in case there be any who hasn't the ready mony that I will advance the money and charge it to him." It has been my experience in this community that all on earth that the negro is asking us to do is to educate him up to just what the government expects of him as a citizen. As to the loyalty of the negro, it is not surpassed by any other people in the whole country. He will enlist, he doesn't hesitate when called in the draft, he donates his money, he buys bonds when able and almost to a man in this community is a buyer of the war savings stamps. And the only thing he asks is: "What do you want us to do?" Now, isn't it hard for the white man in this county and throughout the south, who are engaged in educating the negro as to the war and the things that go with it, if they are to be met every day by statements in the newspapers that in Georgia, in Tennessee and in other sections of the country they have been pulling off barbarous lynchings? Can a man consciously speak of the law in this country, the democratic principles of this government, the gigantic fight to preserve liberty, when on the very pages that describe the heroic fighting in Europe that this law of justice may be a lasting one, there appears a description of the lynching of some negro? Just as sure as the south is to do her part in this war, the negro has to be educated up to a point where he will thoroughly understand what the war is about, why he is being called upon to take up arms under the draft law, why it is necessary that he buy war savings stamps in order that the war may be financed, and why it is absolutely necessary that he donate his money to the Red Cross in order that humanity may be served. Can you build up in the negro a sense of security and lawfulness with the newspapers full of news about lynchings? We go out among them and tell them of the many acts of barbarism of the Prusians, yet our papers show that we also violate the law. "Lynching is savagery and lynching is anarchy,' 'and goes hand in hand with the Hun." Let's stop all this law violation; let's avoid doing the things that we accuse the Prussians of doing, and then when we go out among the negroes of our community we will go with clean hands, and not be held up to the ridiculous position of preaching one thing and doing another. He finally came to a spring of running warm water, held sacred by the Indians, having wonderful health giving powers. He found in reality Ponce de Leon's vision, the Hot Springs of Arkansas. In modern times the history of the famous warm mineral springs is well known; every country has them and all down the ages comes testimony that the waters gushing from the bosom of mother earth have an efficacy in relieving the ills. But in all the world's history of beneficent waters there is nothing to compare with the records of the Hot Springs of Arkansas. Nature has surrounded them with manifestations of her majesty and loveliness. Here are grandeur sublimity and peace. Mighty mountains, splendidly wooded, tower on either side of a sinuous valley and the climate is salubrious in all seasons. From the bases of the mountains gush the waters that give the place its name, and in this valley has grown up a beautiful city that now nestles against gigantic hills and then overflows upon a pleasant, broad plain. The mountain breezes come coolingly down into the valley in summer. The scene is one of mighty hills that lifts the heart. most entrancin (Contin PAGE TWO Arizona’s Greatest Weekly Phoenix, Arizona « Published Every Saturday by the Tribune Publishing Company Address all Communications to the PHOENIX TRIBUNE P.

AMBITION Have you ever asked yourself the meaning of all these great masses of people, who are struggling and striving for wealth, for place and power; what is back of all this buying and selling, all the manufacturing and producing, all this toil and effort, this strenuous human exertion? What is this overmastering impulse which pushes human beings on, each to his individual goal? What is all this struggling and striving for? Why is it necessary for human beings to spend their life in hard work? We know that God could have made bread all ready for use on trees; that He could have given us a climate which would render much of any housing unnecessary; He could have given us soil which would have pro- duced abundantly with very little help from human toil, but the Givine plan for us was something much higher than making a living, and that was, mak- ing a life, and so developing ourselves to our highest power. Activity is the law of growth; effort the only means of improvement. History shows that wherever men have obeyed their lower nature and ceased to struggle to better their condition, they have deteriorated physi- cally, mentally and morally; while just in proportion as they have striven honestly and insistently to improve their situation they have developed a larger and nobler human type. If we could explain just what ambition is, we could explain the mystery of the universe. We do not know that it is something more than idle dreaming; it is the substance of things expected. There is a divinity, @ reality, a prophecy in our desires and longings. ‘At this time, when our boys and girls are matriculating in the various schools and colleges throughout the land, it is fitting that we urge and encourage them to greater effort, We would to, God that each of them might see and feel the necessity for remaining loyal to ambiton to climb bigher and higher. Since there is no limit to human growth there is no satisfying human sinbition. No matter how high we may climb in our achievement, there is something which seems to call down from 4 still higher eminence, “Excelsior! Excelsior! Come up higher.” THE “BOCHES” IN GEORGIA direct personal pleading of Pre at they would everywhere upt and stop the damnable savage of human beings; there still re ~ of white men, under disguise @ In spite of the direct personal pleading of President Wilson to the white Americans, that they would everywhere uphold and respect the majesty of the law, and stop the damnable savage pastime of the white South—the lynching of human beings; there still remains, everywhere in Dixie a cowardly gang of white men, under disguise of loyal and patriotic citizens, who continue to mob helpless members of the Race. This week, gang of these savage white cattle, down in old hell-ridden Georgia, at Macon, the hot-bed for “red-necks,” “hill billies” “red shirts” and “crackers”, a member of the Race, ALLEGED to have committed a serious crime in the community, was lynched by a mob of white men. President Wison said such persons who would so mock the prineiples for which America is fighting, as to join a mob to lynch a human being, was unworthy of the citizenship of America. But old polluted Georgia, the native state of the President's first wife, laughs to scorn the president's request, rises up on their hind legs, shakes their clenched fist in the presi: dent's face, and like unChristianized and barbarous Texas and Mississippi, both which hive engaged in this chief sport of the white south since the president's utterance, swings up a defenseless member of the Rac. ‘The news of these brutish crimes, committed by white Americans against Diack Americans, over here in the “Land of the free and home of the brave,” and to be informed, that these black-hearted, bloody white-skin pusil Janimous scoundrels are rated as full-fledged American citizens, old Kaise: Bill smiles a golden smile of satisfaction, because of the agents’ work— every lyncher is an agent for the kaiser, Black Americans are fighting and dying “over there” that France, England and Belgium might be freed from this sort of savagery at the hands of the brutes of Germany, while the white brutes of America, over here, are keeping up the German wrutality. Js this the way the white citizens of Georgia prove they are 100 pet cent Americans? Is lynching a helpless Black American their interpretation of standing squarely behind the president? There can be no to “opinions” on this matter—the lynchers must be crushed, they are of the same ilk as the bomb thrower, I. W. W., and German spy—these white American lyncher: represent the pro-German, pacifists and open enemies to our “win the war’ program. The time is ripe for every true red-blooded white American to come to taw, und “clear their conscience” by uniting against this barbarous past time of the “red neck” element of the white race. > America now faces a test of loyalty. We are deeper into the war; all American people over here, must be united, that we might be strong—white and black. Americans over here, must create a oneness of purpose. This cannot come until the “Boches” among us are crushed by the force of fait play, and equal justice for black Americans.—Exchange. The Negro is all American and willing to do what all true Americans do. When the country entered the war he wanted to enter too—not as a Nogro, but as an American, ‘This he wanted just because he felt that he had rights that should be respected, and to have them respected demanded loyalt on his part. "Tis true that he had not received the treatment that was due him as an American, and for that very reason the tricky Hun thought that he could move him to hinder the government in its war preparation, But the Hun knows by now that the Negro is as much American as any other, if not a little more. Nothing moves him, not even the lynch law of his own land. The American people are one or as one great family. ‘The strong may oppress the weak and the weak may curse the strong and wish that they were dead, but when an outsider comes in to interfere? both White and black sun togetiver and just give the outsider—, as the black devils and the e giving the Huns “over there.” When the American Eagle in, the American Negro will be there, good, trie and r the American flag goes, the American Negro will go. merican flag or no flag at all.

Mrs. Nelson is the widow of the late Paul Laurenice Dunbar, the poet, whose productions are familiar to every household in the land, and who first sprang into fame through his verses under the caption of “Lyrics of Lowly ‘Life.” Mrs. Nelson is an au- thor of note, having wri tten a volume of very creditable poems and some short stories of Louisiana Ife and complied a collection o f best erations by negro leaders.

Arrangements have ‘been made for the use of the splendid parish house of the Church of Our Merciful Saviour at Louisville, Ky., a8 a @lub for the colored soldier’, several thousand of whom are stationed at Campp Zach- ary Taylor nearby. The house has two large reception rooms, a good- sized assembly hall, large kitchen, reading and writing rooms, bowling alley, pool room, six dormitory’ rooms, suitable for 24 cots. In addition to this place there is a prospect for a building to be equipped as a dormi- tory that will accommodate two to three hundred cots for the colored soldiers in this vicinity, with small ex- pense, if any, to the men. A group of representative business men have agreed to furnish and equip the build- ing with light and heat, | The colored man is@ willing factor in the war. This has been so con. vineingly demonstrated upon so many oceasions that additional evidence is scarcely necessary. A striking case in point, however, may be noted in the journeying at his own expense from Birmingham, Ala, to Washington of Archig Neely, a stalwart young col- ored American, to enlist in the army. He had been refused by the local boards at home, but was so deter. mined to battle for Uncle Sam that he scraped together the necessary funds and came to Washington to see the officials of the war department in person and tender his services. His Personality was so inviting and his plea so eloquent that Neely was ac- cepted. ‘There wasn't a happier youngster in the land than Neely when he left the war department with a paper authorizing him to proceed at once to Camp Meade. Shelby county, Tennessee, believes negro education worth providing for. Last winter the county board of eduea- ‘tien appropriated $60,000 Tor twenty- five new schools for colored children, all of which are to be opened this fall.

Washington, D, C.—A condition of industrial peonage in the United States is bared by the decision of the National War Labor Board in its de- cision for labor and against tie Sloss Sheffield Steel and. Iron: company sith minés and furnaces in Russelville, Al abatiin. Members of the board were horrified jat the conditions discovered in. that American town. “Indsutrial slavery equal to the ag- ricultural peonage of old time Russia,” ‘said one officer of the board, ‘The company was ¢harging its em- ployes 20 per cent discount for cash- ing {ts own pay checks, charging each employe $1 a month for physician's care, 50 cents a month school fee, $1.25 a month insurance, and forcing ‘its employes to buy all provisions and supplies at the company store. As a resull it was not uncommon for an employe to receive less than $1 in his semi-monthly pay envelope. Pay ran from $1.85 to $4.25 a day with the bulk of the employes receiving about $2 oF a little over a day. The company Was also in agreement with other iron and mining companies by which no einploye who left one company would be hired by another without showing a permit from the former company. In this way an em- ploye in debt to one company could never shift his employment to another, no matter how advantageous it might be to him. ‘The War Labor Board has abolished all these conditions by applying its basic principles as outling! by the President for its guidance, It haa ordered a flat increase of $2 a day to all employes, the abolishment of the permit system; the eight-hour day with time and a half for over- time (the present day is ten hours); that the insurance fee be made op- tional; that orders for money due on wages be cashed at their face value. This ayard Wil make it possible for the workers to get enough money to ‘trade at other than company stores and secure’ cheaper prices on neces- sities. The lowest wage allowed under the award is $3.99 Tor a ten-hour day. ‘The award is made applicable'to the Sheffield Iron Corporation ‘and the Sewanee Iron company also, embrac- ing the entire district.

HEATH © STUDIO PAGE FOUR NEGRO MUST LOOK (Continued from page 1) to suppose that we can pass through this turmoil of trade without bearing some portion of the burden, and without wearing some of the scars of battle. The signs of the times were never more propitious with meaning, and there has never been more urgent need for the forethought and planning ahead. Stand Behind Negro Press "First. We must make up our minds pretty clearly that we have got to stand behind our newspapers. These publications have fought our battles for right and justice and they have rarely omitted an act, or overlooked an opportunity to help, both as to co-operation in business and among business men. They have urged our people to support negro business enterprises and have pointed out that the only certain road to progress is the opening up of business avenues for the young men and women of the race. No group among our people has been more persistent, more self-sacrificing than have the publishers of our newspapers. They have worked against great odds, with greatest handicaps, and sometimes, I fear, with least appreciation. We must stand behind them and strengthen them with subscriptions, with advertisements, and with wholehearted support. I would like to see a movement started among these newspapers in a great effort to secure advertising of the more important kind." HOT SPRINGS ARK. (Continued from Page.1) natural national sanitarium. ( having forty-six hot springs with one thousand acres of mountain woodland around them. It is called the first National Forest Reservation. In 1832 the place was dedicated; its mountains and waters belong to the people forever. The government has expended millions of dollars in hewing out boulevards, roadways, walks that wind among the mountains and present to the traveler thereon an endless changing panorama of landscape. At every curve there is some new natural picture. The vistas are magnificent. The play of light and shade presents ever new combinations of colors. The skies are shifting symphonies of hues and the clouds pile themselves in innumerable similitudes of shapes and structure that cast a spell upon the imagination. On the forested heights one looks down on a new city after a fire which a few years ago destroyed a large part of the buildings in the business section of the community. The fashionable throng find plenty to do. The sun shines mellowly down from the mountains some breezes almost intoxicating with ozone. The scene of the woods is everywhere. The People in Hot Springs We find in Hot Springs a thrifty class of people among the negro race. While a great number are employed as attendants in the many bath houses, business, too, is largely carried on by our people. We had the pleasure of visiting several business places while there. Among some of them were the Pythian Bath House, owned by the Knights of Pythias, of which Mr. J. F. Warren is foreman. The Shelton hotel, which is owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Shelton; Mr. J. F. Warren's undertaking parlors; the office of The Echo, the leading weekly paper of Hot Springs. When I reflect upon the distribution of good and evil here in the land, I find that much has been given man to enjoy. Though we should examine the whole world, we shall find but few that are so happy as to have nothing left to wish for; but in this brilliant, vivid, vital, energetic town of Hot Springs, we believe there is nothing left for the Hills to wish for. They are happily domiciled on Walnut street in a beautiful bungalow. Both are pictures of real health. Dr. Hill is the pastor of the Roanoke Baptist church, the largest and best church in the state of Arkansas. It is located at Whittington and Gark and is noted for its grandeur and beauty. The cost of the structure is estimated at about $30,000. In connection with the church proper is a large balcony with five large electric fans, which make each service pleasant to attend, even during the hottest season. There is also a ladies' parlor, which is nicely furnished, a large lecture room, ladies' and gents' choir room, a large and nicely equipped office. The Roanoke Baptist church has become the leading church in the South under the pastorate of Dr Joseph T. Hill, having a membership of over six hundred. All services are well attended, with equally as many of the white as of the black race. It was a striking feature to me to know that at each service every hymnal was in use. The choir, a band of beautiful singers, simply leads the singing and the entire congregation sings. Dr. Hill is no doubt one of the highest salaried colored ministers in the country, receiving a salary of two hundred dollars a month. The church also LIMITS SUGAR USE FOR CANNING FRUIT MINIMUM SWEETNESS IS URGED BY EXPERT WITH FOOD ADMINISTRATION. COUNSEL FOR HOUSEWIVES STERILIZATION IMPORTANT TO SUCCESS OF IMPROVED METHODS GIVEN. Greater economy in the use of sugar for canning fruits is urged by the federal food administration for Arizona. The following suggestions are given by Mrs. Mary Pritner Lockwood, home economics director: Will Sugar Make Required 50 pounds apples...20 qts. 5.62 lbs. 50 pounds peaches...18 qts. 4.5 lbs. 50 pounds pears...30 qts. 5. lbs. 55 pounds plums...30 qts. 9.38 lbs. To each quart of products use six to eight level tablespoonsful of sugar; sour fruit, such as plums, 10 spoons. Thirty-two level tablespoonful of sugar equal one pound; two cups of sugar equal one pound. In making jams use about one-half pound of sugar to one pound of product. For jellies from one-half to three-quarters of a cup of sugar will be required to one cup of juice. The same proportion obtains for marma-lades and preserves. Our present shortage of sugar need not interfere with the fruit saving campaign. Many Arizona housewives are following the directions of the Department of Agriculture in canning fruits without sugar. Have jars, jar covers and rubbers tested and sterilized. If the cold pack method is followed proceed as when sugar is used. When the fruit is packed in the jar fill the jar with boiling hot water. Continue the processing as when sugar is used. If the open kettle method is followed place the fruit in a preserving kettle with enough water to prevent scorching. Simmer gently until the fruit is tender. Fill jars and seal. Fruit canned without sugar is excellent for pie fillings, puddings, ices, sauces, salads and fruit punches. In canning fruit juices without sugar the following method should be employed: *Any approved fruit jar or empty bottles will serve as containers. Be sure they are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before filling. Proceed as in the cold pack method for preserving fruits. Or the juice may be heated to the boiling point in open kettle and the containers filled and sealed immediately. RED CROSS BENEFITS AS HOARDERS FINED Many Enforcement Cases are Disposed of By Food Administration. Several cases have been disposed of by the enforcement division of the federal food administrator for Arizona during the last month. F. W. Ritter, proprietor of a large drug concern at Lowell, Ariz., was allowed to contribute $100 to the Red Cross in lieu of formal action through the United States courts and he will be cut off from further supplies of sugar for the period of the war. The charge was that of hoarding sugar. H. B. McDaniels, a Greenlee county merchant, was fined $25 to be paid to the Red Cross for selling whole wheat flour without substitutes. Tom Colakas, Bisbee confectioner, was fined $10 for using sugar which had been requisitioned by the government. A raise in rates by Jerome eating establishments has been met by an order to reduce the price of board to the same figures which obtained previous to the recent raise in pay to the miners. Hundreds of pounds of hoarded supplies of sugar and flour were confiscated and four Mexicans face the penalties of the food control act as the result of a raid conducted by government officers at Sonora, in the Ray couper mining district. Charles Quam, proprietor of the American Kitchen at Mesa, contributed $100 to the Red Cross and his place of business was closed for three days as a result of violations of the restaurant regulations and his failure to heed repeated warnings. He was closed for one day in addition, with a sign in his door giving the reason as attempting to use influence with the food administration. FOOD ADMINISTRATION NOTES. Despite the increased wheat production no changes have been made in the food administration regulations limiting the use of wheat products to six pounds per person per month. All dealers in meat have been requested not to handle beef which dress over 475 pounds. All the heavy beef is needed for war export, it is explained. furnishes him with a stenographer, who gives her entire time and receives a good salary. The general treasury of the church has one thousand dollars. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING YMCA Educational classes at the Army Y. M. C. A. huts are proving popular with the soldiers. Thousands of young men who left school to go into the service are continuing their studies and classes while in the army. Many educational institutions are arranging to give credit for the work done in this way, so that students may not lose anything while serving their country, and can resume their studies on their return, with credit toward degrees and graduation for the class-room work in the army. The picture shows a group of college men continuing their study of trigonometry at one of the Y. M. C. A. schools. It will make them better artillerymen. In addition to advanced classes, the Y. M. C. A. conducts classes for illiterates and foreigners, teaching them to read, write and speak the English language. The War Department is giving the Army Y. M. C. A. hearty co-operation in this work. The "trig" class shown in the picture is one of the many educational classes conducted by the Y. M. C. A. at Camp McArthur, Texas. YMCA He is one of the busiest men in the world—the "Y" man at the counter. He is as much a part of the military scheme of things as "chow" and taps. At least the soldier thinks so. The counter is crowded all the time, and the man at the counter proves his versatility by answering a thousand varieties of questions, selling stamps, giving advice, distributing stationery, helping the boys send money home, passing out good cheer, handing out literature, and doing all the other things that a "Y" man is expected to do. This is a typical counter scene in a Y. M. C. A. hut. The picture was taken at Camp Pike, near Little Rock, Ark., one of the large cantonments of the country. LYNCHING BEE (By Walt Mason) Our good, wise president beseaches that we shan't hang to elms or beeches such gents as may offend; to show the world we're law-abiding, all forms of frightfulness deriding, should be our aim and end. We chide the Hun for being brutal, but protestations seem quite futil, and we're thrown out of court, if we take ropes, some victim cinching, and show him that the lawless lynching is still our outdoor sport. We're standing up for all things moral; we've taken part in Europe's quarrel to set this planet straight; we need clean hands, and these we're lacking if to the elm tree we go packing the hemp for some poor skate. The time spent at a lynching function, where many men, in vain conjunction, throw golden hours away, might balk the Kaisers Bill and Charley, if it were spent in reaping barley, or baling clover hay. It is a waste of men to hang them; far better round them up and gang them, and send them scrap with weapons staple, but dead guys swinging from a maple can do no useful stunt. This game, to which we've been addicted, should be abolished, or restricted until the war is done; till this is done the world will sass us, and view with scorn, and doubtless class us with Visigoth and Hun.—K. C. Journal. THE FIGHTING LINE When Jimmy went to fight the Hun Across the briny sea, It seemed like setting of the sun To Jimmy's ma and me, And I opine we would repine, But we've no time, you see. For now that Jimmy's gone to fight To finish off the Hun. We've got to hustle day and night A-backing up of son. We don't get up at reveille Or go to bed at "taps." Or go to bed at taps, But when the morning whistle blows There's no more time for naps— We've got to hustle shot and shell And guns for all those chaps. Jim's ma is raising garden truck, One sister's making "sass," Another's in munitions. I'm working fifteen hours a day And yet I'm feeling fine, And when I do get tired, I say, That I'm a soldier in my way And on the fighting line. —Ellis Meredith. COLORED WOMEN (Continued from page 1) from 40 to 45 cents an hour, dating from August 1. We are publishing herewith a statement under the caption of "Labor Notes," which sets forth the organizing of a union of car cleaners, composed of white women in the Southern Pacific yards. Our attention was called to this at a meeting held on last Thursday night at the home of Mrs. Lewis Steele, 1657 Seventh street, by the colored women who clean cars in the same yards. These race women were much agitated over the forming of this union by the women who work side by side with them to their exclusion. They are much concerned because they are pure, 100 per cent. Americans, while nearly all of the women who have formed the union and seem to have themselves recognized by the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen are foreign born and many of them are alien enemies—Austrians, Poles, and what-nots. They propose to protest vigorously against such flagrant discriminations while the government is conducting the railroad business in this country. Some of these colored car cleaners have relatives near and dear to them who are fighting in the trenches of France to kill forever race discrimination and to make men and women free everywhere. Their sons and brothers are fighting "over there," these very people that are allowed to come over here and take work with Americans to the manner born, and then organize a union to keep them from work. We wonder will Mr. McAdoo stand for such a thing. Our women propose to resist this unAmerican step in these foreign-born women, and will call on Uncle Sam to help them. They can count on the support of The Sunshine to help fight it to the bitter end. If these foreigners don't want to work alongside of the colored women, we suggest to them to hike it back to their own country and fight with their kaiser over there. They are not fighting against him over here. We hope those in authority will see it as we do. For we will not be so ready to give up our boys to go to France to die for freedom and democracy if we are to be forever humiliated and rushed by a foreign foe in America and learn-that those in authority allow it to continue, when a word from them can crush this hydra-headed monster—discrimination in labor.

A TYPICAL SOLDIER GATHERING YMCA The Army Y. M. C. A. is the gathering place of the soldiers in every camp. It is his substitute for home, and he soon learns to go there when he is threatened with homesickness. He is seldom disappointed, for the "Y" slogan is "something doing all the time." This crowd was too big to get inside the building, so they had the program outside. The soldiers are listening to a lecture on mental and physical cleanliness by Dr. Clark, a noted sex lecturer. The picture was taken at Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas, where thousands of soldiers from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and other states receive their training for the big adventure. 1. Academic 2.
