COLORED MEN ATTEND PEACE CONCLAVE Big Newspaper Pleads for Better Treatment of Black Americans WAR IMMINENT BETWEEN CHILI=PERU PHOENIX Editor of the Omaha Daily News Declares Negroes Americans Now; Always Were and Always Willl Be VOLUME I. NUMBER 39 COLOR Big New WAR Editor of the Om Declares Negroes Always Were an (Omaha Daily News) "There are two words in common use in our language that should pass out of use forever with this war. They are "nigger" and "wop." The first has been used to describe Americans citizens of African descent. The second has come to this country from foreign lands, where the language spoken is not the English language. Both words have been used as expressive of derision and contempt. There never was good reason or excuse for those words. There is now every reason why they should never again be heard from American lips. The "nigger" and the "wop" have splendidly, heroically attested their place in the ranks of American citizenship. In Omaha, of all places in the United States, where democracy and equal rights for all are so well understood, that old unworthy slur and distinction should be buried deep and forever. We should recall and consider and never by any chance forget what the negro, the colored American citizen of African descent, has done in this war on the European battlefield, where his record as a fighting man is a blaze of glory. We should recall—and how can we ever forget 1?t—the patriotism of the Czechs and of the Polish race in America, first to the front in every patriotic movement, regardless of creed, race or politics; first to the fighting front under the 'Stars and Stripes to die for America, for a free Bohemia and for free Poland. We must remember the Germans, Greeks, Italians, Jews, from foreign lands, Syrians, Swiss, Bulgarians, Slovaks, Slavs—men of a score of nationalities—who pressed forward on the first enlistment and first registration days that they might be counted among those who Uncle Sam might use in his hour of need and of greatness. We must remember how superbly they answered the call. So let those who had the good fortune to be born in this country be just and fair to those who had the liberty-longing and enterprise to come here. Wipe out those two words, "nigger" and "wop," and their kindred words of scorn and derision, now and forever. Americans all and Americans always! We have been pretty sore at the News for something it has published in the past, but if it lives up to this sentiment, we forgive and forget. Few Colored People Die of the Influenza Health Reports Show Stamford, Conn., Dec. 19.—Local undertakers have been mystified at the scarcity of deaths among colored people as a result of influenza. City Health Officer Costanza says the Negro race is not immune from the disease so far as he knows, but cannot explain the fact that few, if any cases among them have been fatal. :The Negro's Share (East Tennessee News, Knoxville) "Where does the negro race come in?" This question has arisen in the minds of thousands of race people. This question has been foremost in the minds of more than 300,000 race soldiers who have fought so gallantly to make the world safe for democracy. Now that the world is safe for democ FIFTY PER CENT OF CHILDREN OF U. S. ARE PHYSICALLY DEFICIENT (Special to The Tribune) Chicago, Dec. 19.—Fifty per cent of the 25,000,000 boys and girls of school age have physical defects that impede normal development, Willard S. Small school hygiene specialist of the federal bureau of education, said in an address today before the American Public Health association. After declaring that the nation's need of "physical education" is imperative, the speaker pointed out that 2,500,000 men in the first draft were disqualified for active military service because of physical defects and added: "Being unfit for military service they were therefore unfit to render full service in any capacity. They were unable to get full returns from life in work and happiness." The physical education needed must assume physical activity as the basic thing the speaker added. There must be wholesome physical environment, individual physical examination and record, and medical supervision of schools. "It should provide for all persons between 6 and 18 years of age. It should extend its benefits to youth above the compulsory school age. It should provide federal aid to permit states to carry on effective systems of physical education. This federal aid should be limited to preparation of teachers for skilled service and payment for skilled service. "The program proposed will raise the positive co-efficient of the physical life of the nation. It will build morality upon the solid foundation of physical soundness and vitality. It will be a powerful influence in Ameri- canization." MAN 72 YEARS OLD FATHER OF TWINS MAN 72 YEARS OLD FATHER OF TWINS BENTON, Ill., Dec. 19.—Rev. David Sneed has become the father of another set of twins, making the third set coming to his home. Rev. David Sneed, who is 72, is now living with his second wife. Eight children have been born to this union and fourteen to the first, making twenty-two in all, most of whom are living. racy, let us ask our white friends of the United States is it safe for the colored man. When the call to arms was sounded no man proved a truer friend to his country than did the colored man. A race pushed to the wall to make room for strangers, hearing the call of war, stepped out, willing and ready to die for the flag, and yet they are the only victims of the tyranny that lives under its Stars and Stripes. Now that the war is over let our white friends remember that none carried themselves more like soldiers or died more like men than did the American black soldiers. In wartime the white men calls the race man "fellow citizen." Now that the bloody business is over, will he treat the black man as a "fellow citizen," allowing him to go anywhere his money (Continued on page 3) ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1918 Minister's Wife Held On Bootlegging Charge (Special to The Tribune) EVANSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 19.—Wear- ing a hot water bottle as a bustle, the wife of the Rev. Elijah Torrants, a negro preacher, was arrested here charged with bringing whisky into dry territory from Kentucky. WINNER IN DIAMOND CON- TEST THE WINNER REV. MAJOR JONES OF AJO The great subscription campaign inaugurated by the management of the Tribune in which a big diamond was the grand prize, closed on the 7th instant with Rev. Major Jones of Ajo leading all contestants. This goes to prove that the size of the town has little to do with the amount of business that may be done. It's the size of the individual that counts. Rev. Jones and all Ajo are rejoicing over his success in pulling down the grand prize. He deserves much praise for the noble work he did and the management of the Tribune extends congratulations with a wish for a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Arizonaans! Florence is on the map. Mrs. C. T. Smith of Salt Lake City, Utah, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Lucas Leos, who is convalescing from a severe attack of the "flu" and pneumonia. Mrs. Smith is one of the leading society matrons of Salt Lake City and has a coterie of friends. She is also very well known in Phoenix, having visited that city on a former occasion. Mr. L. Leos, leading cafe owner of this city, is shaking hands with himself and thanking God that his wife, daughter and son were spared from the ravages of the dreaded "flu," while he was attending to his extensive business. The Scolding Father (Contributed) A very intelligent youth once said to me: "If there is anything that comes between God and me, it will be papa. He is so unreasonable, so harsh and cruel. He keeps the whole family unhappy. He often bulldozes and threatens where he afterward finds himself entirely at fault." This father is a noble Christian man. But there is no doubt that he needs to take away this little fox that spoils his vines, this fly that spoils his ointment. Will he? Oh, that we might be childlike and learn! "I am meek and lowly of heart," said the Savior. Sometimes sternness is necessary to maintain discipline; but it is still true that "the soft tongue breaketh the bones." "A soft answer turneth away wrath." We all know that it does. Theb oast has got many a person into trouble. The hard word has been remembered and brought a hard time and turned away favors. Novel System Used To Prevent Worry (Special to the Tribune) Dayton, O., Dec. 19.—This city has been entertaining a man who never worried about "a single, solitary thing." He is Ray D. Lillibridge, of New York. Lillibridge says he never worries because he lives every day by a "card index system." His walking, sleeping, eating and everything else he does is governed by the card index, and he is probably the most systematic man in the world. YUMA-SOMERTON (By Mrs. E. E. Rainwater) (By Mrs. E.

A big social affair is planned for her on Thursday night by Mr. and Mrs. Rainwater and friends. We shall be delighted to have such an honored guest during the holidays. Mrs. Altonio of Tucson is also expected to be one of Mrs. Rainwater's guests during the holidays. Mr. I. C. Cheaves, formerly a resident of Phoenix, has just returned from a long journey. We understand that he will leave shortly. We are glad to see him and wish him a Merry Xmas. A delightful dinner party is planned for Xmas day by Mesdames Caton and Rainwater. A large number will be present, including friends and visitors. It will be a swell affair as the young Mrs. W. T. Rainwater of Rochester, N. Y., will be present. Her husband, who came here several weeks ago for the benefit of his health, is improving so rapidly they call this state "wonderful." At least three big cars will be chartered for the occasion. Mr. Caton's car will also be in action. The whole party anticipates the greatest Xmas ever. A big dance will be given by the boys of the 25th Infantry on Thursday night. Everyone anticipates a grand time. Mrs. Rainwater and Mr. McCrory put a "Boston" on Mr. Rainwater and his nephew. The winners challenge Yuma Whist club. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Wilson have decided to change homes. Felix Booster and Bill went hunting Tuesday. They bagged a hare, several quail and doves. Booster woke up lots of game.

Colored Delegates at Peace Conference Ask for German African Colonies; Would Form Democracy And Prove Our Capacity for Self-Government WAR BETWEEN PERU AND CHILI UNLESS POWERS INTERVENE Armies Being Mobilized by Both the Countries Washington, Dec. 18.—War on the South American west coast is inevitable unless the United States or concerted powers intervene in the Peru-Chile dispute, according to Latin-American diplomats here today. Latest advices from Lima and Santiago verified reports of moibilization at both capitals. Both the Chilean embassy and the Peruvian legation admitted that undoubtedly a crisis was at hand. The most serious aspect in the opinion of diplomats was the evidence that attempts are being made to form alliances that in the event that hostilities might throw the entire continent into war. Dispatches announcing the recall of the Brazilian minister to Peru were held to be without logical foundation. Rumors mentioned a line up of Brazil Bolivia and Peru against Chile, Argentina and Mexico. It was also suggested by Latin-American diplomats that Bolivia and Argentina might stand by Peru against Chile, owing to Chile's admitted military and naval superiority. The Peruvians contend that "President Wilson's statements in the matter of self-determination of peoples gives her a feeling of perfect confidence in the early realization of justice," and that "the United States will not demand justice in middle Europe and the Balkans and at the same time permit oppression among the Americans." THE NIGHT BEFORE PEACE "Twas the night before peace in No Man's Land, the Americans gained the upper hand of the beastly Hun, with saber and guns; 'twas the work of America's Brave Black Sons. The Germans were tucked all snug in their trench, but they were discovered by the brave little French. The Germans had stopped in a long wooded spot, and we had mounted our guns for a long range shot. Then we were in ambush so lively and quick, it made the old kaiser deathly sick. He was so sure of conquering the world, but when he looked up our flag was unfurled. Let's give thanks to God that Germany lost, and donate our money to the Faithful Red Cross. Composed by ROBT. FAMBROUGH. P. U. H. S., Phoenix, Ariz. The Greatest Mother in the World Join the Red Cross All You Need is a Heart and a Dollar PECULIAR JIM CROW COACH CASE AND A NOVEL COURT DECISION Baltimore, Md., Dec. 19.—The question of the carrier's duty with respect to the furnishing of separate compartments in dining cars for the two races seems to have arisen for the first time in the Tennessee case of Shelton v. Chicago R. I. & P. R. Co., 201 S. W. 521. The court holds that railroads should provide usual but separate and sufficient accommodations for white and Negro passengers by furnishing two or more coaches, or even one coach divided by a wooden partition, did not require the dividing of dining cars into separate compartments by partitions of wood, or the furnishing of separate dining cars, and that a regulation of the carrier, by which white passengers were served first in the diner, and a reasonable time after they had finished the Negro passengers were served, was reasonable, wise and fair PEOPLE WARNED THAT INFLUENZA IS NOT YET UNDER CONTROL (Special to The Tribune) Washington, Dec. 19.—Warning to the country that the influenza epidemic is by no means ended and that all possible precautions against the disease should be taken, was issued tonight by Surgeon General Blue of the public health service. Reports received by the service show a recrudescence of the disease practically from one end of the country to the other and in his statement Dr. Blue advised the closing of the public schools on the first sign of the reappearance of the epidemic. He said the disease apparently now tended to occur more frequently among school children. "Our main reliance," Dr. Blue said, "must still be the observance of precautions by the individual person. He should cover up his coughs and sneezes and insist that others do the same." A Word About the "Flu" An exchange says: There are two ways by which spread of the "flu" may be avoided: Vaccination and wearing of gauze masks. It makes no difference what some fogy of a doctor may tell you, get vaccinated as quickly as possible, and your chances of not taking "flu" will be about ten to one. When your doctor begins to tell you that vaccination is of doubtful value and that he does not recommend it, get another doctor. That is the safest plan and the best for the community as well as for yourself. For a woman to keep two devoted men on the string at the same time is a sign of artistry; for a man to keep two devoted women on the string at the same time is a sign of lunacy. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year CLAVE mericans PERU ence Ask for Form Democracy Self-Government DELEGATION REACHES PARIS FROM AMERICA Dr. R. R. Moton, Successor to Booker T. Washington, and W. L. B. Du Bois Would Give Black Man a Chance. (By Louis Selbold) (Copyright, 1918, by the Press Publishing Co.) (The New York World) Brest, France, Dec. 17.—Pleading the privilege of self-government and self-determination, leading negroes of the United States will ask the peace conference to turn back to native conference to turn back to native control the German colonies in frica for national organization by those now there and by other negroes who may wish to live under a government by and of their race in the old African land. The transport Orizaba, bringing an advance guard to the Paris peace conference, arrived here on Monday, after an uneventful voyage of eight days. In addition to fifty representatives of the American newspapers, the ship had as passengers a delegation of negroes, commissioned to urge the claims of the race or the conference. The delegation includes W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, and Dr. R. R. Moton, head of the Tuskegee Institute. House Has the Memorial A memorial has already been submitted to Col. House. It urges the peace conference to extend the principle of democracy to the negro race by recognizing the right of the race to self-government under the "self-determination" clause of President Wilson's peace terms. The memorial points out that the transfer of the German colonies in Africa to the control of other nations would retard the progress of the negro race, whereas the application of the self determination principle would result in the advancement of the race. There is a general plan which contemplates an agreement among the belligerents to set aside not only the African colonies under previous German rule, but also those now governed by the French and Portuguese, and also the independent African states, and to make of these lands an African union, for the reorganization of a government by native negroes and by the negroes who may elect to emigrate and attach themselves to the proposed democracy. One point the memorial emphasizes is that if German Africa were taken from one imperial master, even though a bad one, in order to pass it over to another, though a better one, that act would inevitably rouse suspicion of selfish aims on the part of the allies, and would leave open grave questions concerning the future of colonial possessions and government. The conference will be urged to commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the negro in America, in August, 1919, by encouraging the present movement to hand Africa over to the Africans. Alms of the British labor party for the extension of the right of self-government and for protection under organized conditions are indorsed in the memorial. Not a Colonization Scheme Mr. Du Bois declares that the plan is not a colonization scheme, but it is basically a movement to give 12,000,000 negroes in the German colonies and in other African states oppor- (Continued on page 4) THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE Published Every Saturday by the Tribune Publishing Company Entered as Second-Class Matter June 22, 1918, at the Postoffice at Phoenix Arizona, under Act of March 3, 1879 One Year .....

Especially has he reaped a harvest of prosperity in the South during the past year and a half. It is earnestly and fervently hoped that while money has apparently come in showers upon the race that its men and women will not be dazzled by its suddenness and swept off their feet by the appetite for pleasure and the desire for display. Now more than any time during its history the thoughtful, sturdy and forward-looking race men and women should get in the lead and by precept and example teach the masses the virtue and necessity of economy and thrift. The easy money which is falling into the lap of every worker and into the lap of some who do not work but merely pretend, will not continue indefinitely. We are not alarmists and do not wish to discourage or frighten but it is our solemn duty to warn our people that periods of great prosperity are inevitably and invariably followed by periods of great business depression, during which thousands of fortunes are swept away and hundreds of thousands are reduced to want and beggary. Our duty is therefore to seize the day which is ours and lay by a store for the future to provide against the day of adversity and want. And while the tide of prosperity is running high and money is being spent by thousands with a lavish hand, let the thoughtful men of the race in the lynching zones, in those communities where at times and for some reasons, also sometime without adequate reason, the color of a man's skin is the sign of hsi death warrants, take proper measures under the law for the defense of their own lives and that of their wives and children. President Wilson has stated in France that his chief reason for being there is to put an end to the possibility of another great war. In that he is right, and has the support of every patriotic American. We are not hearing just now the voices out of Germany telling of plans for the "next war." The "next war" is for the time being carefully shelved in Berlin. What a "next war" would be, we now have a fairly clear idea. The submarine, developed and perfected, would range and rage in every sea. The aircraft of today is nothing in comparison with what aerial monsters would be in a war twenty-five years from now. The air monster of the future would carry hundreds of tons of higher explosives than can be carried by the ton today. The gun that drops shells seventy-five miles away is in its infancy, and whereas Paris might suffer little damage from one such gun, one hundred such guns would lay it, or any other city subjected to bombardment, in ruins. A more powerful gas would be present in a "next war." The liquid flames this time might be launched from the air, instead of from near distance on land. The "next war" would be a terrible, scientific massaere and devastation. But there is only one sure way to prevent a "next war," and that is for the great democracies of the world—democracies in fact as well as in form—to unite in a league against war. This would involve limitation of armies to national police forces, with prohibition of draft service by any country in time of peace.—Exchange.

This expression originally came from the allowance which a husband gave his wife to purchase pins. A one time pins were dreadfully expensive, the Book of Wonders explains so that only wealthy people could afford them and they were saved so carefully that in those days you could not have looked along the pavement and found a pin which you happened to be in need of as you can and often do today. By a curious law the manufacturers of pins were only allowed to sell them on Jan. 1 and 2 of each year and so when those days came around the women whose husbands could afford it secured pin money from them and went out and got their pins. Pins were known and used as long ago as 1347 A. D. They were introduced into England in 1640. In 1824 an American named Might invented a machine for making pins which enabled them to be manufactured cheaply. About 1,500 tons of iron and brass are made into pins every year in the United States. Which reminds us of the old, often asked but never satisfactorily answered question: "Where do all the pins go?"

Why they're bargains in pain, Bargains in bodies and bargains in brain; Bargains in manhood and womanhood, too, Bargains in childhood here offered to you; Bargains in hate and oppression and greed, Bargains in hearts that must suffer and bleed, Bargains from sweatshops and pestilent holes, Bargains in labor and bargains in souls, Here on the counter together they lie, Bargain sale! Bargain sale! Come on and buy! DICTATES OF FASHION Vells are many and varied in design and manner of being worn. Soft pompons are a novel means of fastening a dress at the side. Long jet fringe has a graceful effect on gowns of draped net. Long, straight tunics are worn with rather narrow straight skirts. Long, straight, transparent sleeves have close sleeves inside them. One-piece robes are made which have a distinct effect of being wrapped. Some capes are cut to drape over one shoulder like a Roman toga. Junior Model Midnight blue velvet is the covering of a large picturesque model hat which will be much affected by the young girl this winter. It rolls up in the back and is garnished with a large wired bow of midnight blue satin. The bow may also be made of navy blue lace, well wired, of course, which gives a more dressy finish to the hat.

SNELL, Prop. 27 S. 2nd St. By Major Jones The editorials in the Tribune have few equals and no superiors. The people of Ajo can hardly finish reading the front headlines are they turn to read the interesting, inspiring and educational editorials which always appear in the Tribune. There is nothing strange about Ajo winning in the Diamond contest; Ajo always goes over the top in everything she undertakes. I wish that I might impress upon our people the necessity for their support of a race paper like the Tribune. If we do not support our own enterprises, whom do we expect to support them? The soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry have been released from quarantine and all seem to be happy. Rev. Vaughn is still on the job with his radiant smile, scattering happiness and sunshine wherever he goes. The "flu" ban has not been lifted, but we hope it will be by the 22nd inst., because Ajo must go over the top with a Christmas program. We take the liberty of inviting you to come out and help us make this the greatest Christmas ever witnessed in KIMB PHONOG KIMBALL PHONOGRAPHS KIMBALL PHONOGRAPHS What a Splendid Christmas Gift!

In Memorium The news of the death of Mrs. Carrie B. McAllister of Douglas cast a dark shadow over our lives and caused much sorrow. /However, we believe that Mrs. McAllister leaves a host of friends who regret her loss and we know the world was made better because of her having lived in it. To a man a "fling" at twenty means a golden, glorious, riot; at thirty it means a love affair; at forty it means a mild relaxation and a bottle of vintage wine, and at sixty it means a headache. The fate of Lot's wife Was all her own fault; She first turned to "ruin" And then turned to salt. BALL GRAPHS Smalley Company e-Price Music House n St. Phone 3086 LF'S using Sale! LETIS R.

"In the western hemisphere", he said, "25,000,000 negroes have indicated intense interest in the plan. They will give every financial, moral, religious, social and educational encouragement to it. Whether negroes from other countries would emigrate is a problem less important than is the recognition of the right of negroes already in Africa to determine how and by whom they shall be governed. "The movement is backed by the leading 'American churches, by 750,000 African Methodists and 2,000,000 Baptists. Domestic problems, while of dominant local interest, are actually subordinate to the fundamental justice of the right of the elements of the African race to govern themselves under the democratic conditions enunciated by President Wilson and by one or two of the allied governments. Treatment of the negroes by the peace conference will test the sincerity of th various declarations on this point." The initial public step in the promotion of the movement will be taken in a pan-African convention which will sit during the deliberations of the peace conference. Alcohol is denatured by the addition hereto of an element which renders unfit to drink and which may not o removed from the spirit by any process short of destruction.
