PHOENIX VOUME II. NO. 20 CHICAGO GRAND JURY GOES ON A STRIKE FOR EQUAL JUSTICE CHICAGO GRAND JURY GOES ON A STRIKE FOR EQUAL JUSTICE (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 11.—One of the peculiar and interesting developments in the aftermath of the Chicago race riot happened when the Special Grand Jury, composed of leading business men went on a strike, giving as their reason that out of the forty cases considered up to that time, all of them had been colored people. One of the jurymen exclaimed, "bring on some white people, we are certain the Colored people were not fighting among themselves." The States Attorney declared that the strike of the Grand Jury had politics behind it and that it was the purpose to prosecute and deal with all alike, regardless of race. The incident, however, serves to demonstrate the high caliber of the Grand Jurors and their determination to see that there shall be even handed justice meted out. The matters were eventually adjusted and several white people have been indicted. Fast Boxing Contest Won by Ira O'Neal What was probably the classiest boxing exhibition of the season was staged last Friday evening at Arcadia Hall when Ira O'Neal and Johnny Pasco faced each other in the squared arena. Pasco was heralded as a mighty man of valor and every one seemed to think that our Ira would have to go, some to lick him. One of the local papers carried a story about how this man Pasco had "tapped" a mule on the coke and caused him to give up the ghost. We will have to hand it to Pasco, for he knows how to select a press agent. Well, the fight, which was scheduled to go six rounds, was ended in the second by one of Ira's terrific upper cuts which made Pasco think that raule had come to life and was administering a retaliatory kick. Pasco is a clever boxer, no doubt about it, but he was simply outclassed. Ira didn't get a chance to extend himself—let loose, as it were. "It was a shame to take the money," said Ira to a Tribune reporter. Hockbone of Tucson, Ariz., is next in line for a good beating, as the invincible Ira will take him on in the next bout. Hockbone has whipped everything that looked like a prizefighter in that part of the state and is now coming here to clean up for the capital city. All we have to say to Mr. Hockbone is, "Don't imagine that you are going up against a dub and neglect your training, for you will be the worst surprised person in the world if you do." We shall see what we shall see. FILL PROVIDES DEATH PENALTY FOR BOMB THROWERS (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11. The bill introduced by Senator King to punishment shipment of bombs and infernal machines in interstate commerce is one that is of special significance, and it is hoped that our people everywhere will do all they can to encourage the passing of the bill, which is now in the hands of the Committee on the Judiciary. The bill follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That any person who shall deposit or cause to be deposited with any common carrier or express company any explosive bomb, infernal machine, poisonous substance, or other thing, for the purpose of transportation in interstate commemore, with the design, intent or purpose to cause the death of the person to whom such article or the thing is consigned or of any person, shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall suffer death. Any person violating the provisions of this Act may be tried and punished either in the district within which such article or thing was deposited or through which such article was carried, or in which such article was delivered or received to be delivered to the person to whom it was consigned. ___ o Hellish Huns and Barbarous Bourbons—all the same—synonyms.

(By Associated Negro Press) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 11.—A local union of the Federal Union, which is a national organization for Negroes, formed under the supervision of the American Federation of Labor, has been established in Chattanooga and has in the weeks which it has been fostered by the union men grown until it has a membership of more than 500. The Negro union, which includes those of various trades and day laborers, holds two meetings a week, one on Sunday afternoon and the other Thursday night. One meeting is held each week in East Chattanooga. Union organizers have tried for many years to substantially organize Negro labor. Heretofore all efforts along that line have been fruitless, but the concerted efforts of union men in the city have practically accomplished their purpose and a local branch of the Federal Union is a positive and, so the leaders assert, a most live fact. TIRED OF NEGRO DETECTIVES (By Associated Negro Press) MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 11. Since the Negro detective force of the city lately suffered such a disastrous wreck, Police Commissioner Quinn said yesterday that no effort would be made to revive it. He said one Negro officer or another had been on the police force for years, under various administrations, and many of them rendered good service. A request was made to the political headquarters last year which won the election to put a Negro on the force. The request was acceded to, and the result had not been satisfactory. One of the Negro officers, Will Williams, is under arrest for shooting a white man, Charles Shields. Another, George Isles, is in the hospital, and still another, Thornton, is under suspension. Mr. Quinn says the Negro detective force is a thing of the past. $3,000,000 TO BE SPENT IN BUILDING HOMES FOR CHICAGO BLACKS (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 11.—A movement is on foot headed by leading white business men and corporations, to provide accommodations for the congested south side district, known as the "Black Belt." In that vicinity there are hundreds of ramshackle houses as well as considerable vacant property. It is the purpose to provide a fund of $3,000,000 with which to build modern homes and apartments for both laboring men and women and those who are in a position to live in luxury. This matter has been discussed for some time, and while the recent riot has brought some light on the subject of housing. It is being endorsed by the best people of both races. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY DETROIT FACING SERIOUS PROBLEM OF HOUSING BLACKS (By Associated Negro Press) DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 11.—The housing of Negroes in Detroit has become a serious problem, according to John C. Dancy, Jr., director of the Detroit Urban League. Several hundred Negroes now in the city are without homes and it is necessary for them to sleep in the parks, in barns, stores, or any place where room may be found for them. The Colored housing problem, says Mr. Dancy, is far more compilated than that confronting the white residents of the city, because the latter have the opportunity of expanding in any direction they may choose. The Negro, on the other hand, is confined to certain districts already overcrowded. Rents in these districts have reached an abnormal height. Biennial Session Supreme Lodge K. of P. Convenes Aug. 25, Kansas City, Mo (By Associated Negro Press) KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 11.—The biennial session of the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias and the Supreme Court of Calanthe, Eastern and Western, Hemispheres, will be held here the week beginning August 25. Extensive preparations are being made by local Pythians for the entertainment of the delegates and visitors. Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter of Brooklyn, N. Y., head of the uniform department, will preach the biennial sermon at Allen A. M. E. church on the evening of August 24. Ashbie Hawkins of Baltimore is the supreme chancellor, and Mrs. Jennie Ross of the same city is supreme councillor. Raleigh Boasts Oldest Colored Citizen in N. C.; Has 48 Grandchildren (By Associated Negro Press) RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 11.—St. Matthews township, Wake县, claims the oldest Colored man in Wake county, if not the oldest man in North Carolina, and citizens of that township who know Leonard Smith, 105 years old, point with pride to his life in the community. Mr. Smith is the father of eight children, forty-two grand-children, sixty-seven great- grandchildren, and one great-great- grand child. Texans Grant Bail to Negro Accused of Attack on White Woman (By Associated Negro Press) DALLAS, Tev., Aug. 11.—Frank Dawson, Negro, charged with assault to murder on a young white woman last Saturday night in East Dallas, was allowed bond of $1,500 Wednesday afternoon in Justice Barnett's court. The grand jury is investigating the case. TRIBUNE PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AUGUST 16, 1919 N. E. F. OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS CLOSES SESSION (By Associated Negro Press) PROVIDENCE, R. I., Aug. 11.—More than 300 delegates attended the twenty-third annual convention of the Northeastern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, representing 6000 members from Maine to the District of Columbia: The sessions will be held from July 30 to August 2 in the Olney Street Baptist church. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford now a Y. W. C. A. worker in Washington, is president. PACKING COMPANIES HAVE BEEN FAIR TO COLORED LABORERS (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 11.—The people of the United States, through an insideous propaganda of publicity, and otherwise, have been taught to regard the great packing industries, centered in Chicago, with distrust, suspicion and antagonism. They have been pictured as colossal, soulless bodies, always the enemies of the people. The people have, through necessity, bought their products and cursed, but they have seldom stopped to think. That's where a tremendous mistake has been made and one filled with rank injustice to the packing industry. In view of the wide notoriety now centering about the packing industry, the Associated Negro Press regards it as a public duty to call attention to certain things. These things directly affect us as a group, and it is very necessary that they be considered from our point of view. There are five great packing concerns, of which Armour and Company is the largest. All of them for years have employed men and women of our race. They have been considerate and fair in employing them, and besides paying excellent wages, have offered splendid opportunities for advancement. In no other industry in America has there been a better opening for what is known as "skilled workmen," than in the packing industries. The packers have not been freer from labor difficulties than other concerns, but they have taken the wise position of letting the workmen use their own judgment, either joining or remaining out of unions. Throughout it all, however, they have regarded the individual, regardless of class distinctions, on his real merits as a work man. During the recent Chicago disturbance when sinister influences were at work urging the packing industries to refuse to re-employ the 12,000 Colored people, who had been unable to reach their places of employment on account of great danger, the packers again took the fair and just protection and opened the "door of opportunity." On this position they STAND PAT. Every packing concern employing our people has a welfare department through which personal attention is given to individual development and progress outside of working hours. In this respect fine headway has been made to the benefit and advantage of the people of our group. These efforts of uplift have been wholly unselfish, except in the realization that better citizens make better workmen. There may be trying days ahead of us—day more trying than those through which we have recently passed. Through them all, it is our duty to think, be careful, patient and grateful; we must ever be found supporting, in deed and principle, those who have been just to us, and we must exercise good American common sens. It is earnestly hoped, and believed, that we will not be found doing anything different. Some day every inhabitant on this hemisphere will have learned that peace like everything else begins at home, and the only permanent basis is justice and fair play for every human. PLURIBUS UNUM SUPPOSE WE HAD SUCH LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES SUPPOSE WE HAD SUCH LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES (By Associated Negro Press) PARIS, France, August 8.—The government was interpolated in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon on the rough treatment French Negro soldiers were alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The questions were asked by Mr. Boisneuf and Mr. Lagrosilliere, Negro Deputies, respectively from Guadeloupe and Martinique. The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: "The Chamber, faithful to the immortal principles of the rights of man, condemning all prejudices of religion, estate or race, solemnly affirms the absolute equality of all men without di tion of race or color and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The Chamber counts upon the government to apply these laws and see that the necessary penalties for their infringement are inflicted." Jules Pams, Minister of the Interior, replying to the Negro Deputies, said that the government had applied penalties and asked them not to instigate upon a discussion of "the very regrettable incidents as France does not forget the services rendered by her Negro sons." The Minister of the Interior added that the American government had not hesitated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. Mr. Pams asked Deputy Boisneur for reasons of "high diplomacy" to drop the subject. The Deputy said he would not speak of questions that involved diplomacy, but he protested against the complicity of the French military authorities in these incidents. He then read a confidential circular to French officers attached to the American army, setting forth how American opinion did not tolerate "familiarity between whites and blacks." "And it is America that wants a society of nations," interjected Charles Bernard, a Deputy from the Seine. "The circular wasn't signed by Wilson," shouted Deputy Mayerasn, in reply to Mr. Bernard. Colored Newspapers Spring, Up Like Mushrooms in Dear Old Chicago (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Chicago has still another newspaper, the Chicago Evening World, and it is a daily at that. It is newsy in appearance and its progress is being watched with the keenest of interest. It is published at 3904 Indiana avenue and has the following staff: Theodore Burks, editor; M. M. Jones, managing editor; T. A. Donaldson, city editor; William White, circulation manager; R. L. Toran, city representative; J. A. Davis, corresponding editor; W. H. Colbert, sporting editor. The World sells for two cents. Race Riot Threatens to Break Out in the Great State of N. Y. (By Associated Negro Press) SYRACUSE, N. Y., Aug. 11.—Race riots on a scale somewhat smaller than in Washington and Chicago, struck Syracuse Wednesday afternoon, when Colored men employed as strikebreakers at the Globe Malleable Iron Works in Greenway avenue, were attacked by striking iron molders. Clubs and stones were hurled freely; in one instance firearms were drawn by the strikers, but police interfering prevented their use. THE MOTE AND BEAM (By Associated Negro Press) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Aug. 11.—The deep-seated causes of these incidents must be sought out and removed. A humiliating feature of the affair is that men in uniforms of United States soldiers and sailors are most active in the pursuit of the hunted Negroes. We have sent 2,000,000 men abroad to establish democracy and restore law and the principles for which they have fought should be preserved here at home. TENNESSEE BIDS HER LOST SLAVES COME BACK HOME (By Associated Negro Press) NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 11.—"Come back home," is the word Tennessee sends to friendless Negroes fleeing from Chicago because of race riots. Governor A. H. Roberts and Mayor William Gupton of Nashville, said Wednesday, the Negroes will be welcomed back by Nashville and Tennessee. "The perfect understanding and efforts to maintain friendly relationship for the past century stand in good stead in the present period of unrest," the governor said. "Nobody rejoices at the misfortunes of Chicago," said Mayor Gupton; "but it should prove an object lesson to the people of that city. Negroes attracted to the north by high wages and alleged social conditions that do not prevail are awakening to the truth that the South is the best place for them. "I want the leaders of both races to work together to maintain the present harmony," said Governor Roberts. "We need the Negro here and I do not fear that Tennessee will ever be the scene of such troubles as are now exciting Chicago." NEGROES WHO OUGHT TO BE DEAD There are many Negroes living in luxury who ought to be dead. Were the voice of the press not restricted to decency, our loud and effective call for justice for the weak would hasten thousands of Colored men whose cunning surpasses that of the little fellow, to have their bodies X-rayed to see if their blood coursed systematically. The fear of being apprehended has driven many a lodge vulture to northern climes. The lodge abuse shows symptoms of decay but death should be instantaneous—not prolonged. Some of the practices are too shameful to relate. One lodge of Louisiana had imposed upon it a "Grand Lecturer," whose duty it was to give a lecture semi-annually to the thirty different chapters, with a membership of four hundred throughout the state. The lecturer, who was a woman, gave one lecture in person during her two-year term of office. The other three times she wrote her lecture and mailed it to the different lodges to be read. For these non-delivered lectures the lodges assessed each member fifty cents. For sitting at home, then, the lecturer earned $600. In another case there was a doctor duly appointed by the lodge on a fixed salary to look after the interests of the lodge. He signed fifteen bogus certificates of sickness for one family in one year. The head of the family reports that only one of his children was ever confined to bed. In another case a member who had cooked for one family since 1875 had invested most of her money in lodges. In case of death the expenses of her funeral were to be paid and $1,500 was to be given to her invalid daughter. The daughter actually got $30. The officers charge that the deceased owed assessments amounting to the difference of $1,470. We could multiply such injustices to three figures. But why prolong the agony? We have given you sufficient examples to enable you to get a glimpse of what is sapping the vitality of our own by our own. Persons of our race who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow are being cheated, robbed and brow-beaten by crooks of our race who are waxing rich by such methods. It should not be that there are havens in other sections of the country for men who are hanging by a thread between the status of a criminal and the criminally liable. We repeat: There are some Negroes who ought to be dead.—Half Century Magazine. Chicago Thugs Accord "Royal Welcome" to Returned Colored Soldier (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 11.—Frederick Smith, 23 years old, Colored, who had spent 3 years in the Canadian army overseas, came back to Chicago yesterday to visit his relatives. He was aware that a race riot was raging in Chicago, but he thought the white riot 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year ALL IS QUIET ON THE POTOMAC ALSO IN THE WINDY CITY (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 11.—Chicago is getting back to normal conditions following a week of riot which brought disaster and turmoil to the world's greatest city of opportunity. Soldiers and policemen are on guard in the riot territory but have little or nothing to do. Citizens of both races go without molestation into the territory which a week ago had real dead line. Thursday, nine thousand Colored workmen returned to their labors at the various stock yards on the South Side, where they were unmolested by the whites. The yards and territory surrounding it were strongly guarded by soldiers and policemen. Union laborers protested against the armed guards being stationed in their midst and several thousand white workmen of the stock yards staged a "strike." They claim there is no "color" proposition in what they did, but protested against armed guards. Union men claim that they have no objections to Colored people working in the yards. It is believed that the whole matter will be adjusted within a very short time. Immediately following the serious days of the riot, it became apparent that many people were suffering from lack of food. This brought an idea to Virgil L. Williams, proprietor of the Royal Gardens, and he took the matter up with Aldermen Anderson and Jackson. Relief stations were opened in several parts of the riot-torn district and in the effort to provide for the hundreds, the Urban League, the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross co-operated in the fullest way. Several thousand have been provided with food. COLORED WOMEN'S MOTOR CORPS DOING EXCELLENT WORK (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The only Colored Women's Motor Corps in the world is that of the Hayward Unit, a branch of the National League for Women's Service in New York city. If you can imagine the feeling of a man in the desert, coming unexpectedly upon an oasis, you will appreciate the surprise and joy, of Colored soldiers lying wounded in New York hospitals at sight of women of their own race to comfort and cheer them as they had so often seen their white comrades visited by other members of the League. While the work of the Hayward Unit may not be as extensive or as far-reaching as that of other departments, in point of personal service and results accomplished it is excelled by none. ers would respect his Canadian uniform and his wound stripes. As he was passing Harrison street on South State street he was attacked by a gang of white youths, for whom he was an easy victim, for he had been both gassed and wounded and he offered little resistance. Before he could be rescued by non-commissioned officers of a nearby recruiting station, he had been the victim of several blows and lay in the street. He was taken to the Clark street station, where his injuries were dressed. "I don't see why they wanted to bother me, a fellow like me," he said. "I did all I could to help make this old country safe for just such men as these. I call this a pretty poor welcome home." TRUXTUM, Va.—Fred D. McCracken, who for some time was in the department of Negro economics under Dr George E. Haynes, has been appointed town manager of Truxtum. Mr. McCracken has the distinction of being the first and only member of the race to hold such an office. The town of Truxum was built by the United States government to relieve the housing conditions in this section of Virginia. Mr. McCracken is a native of Iowa and for fifteen years was private secretary to Governor Stephens of St. Paul, Minn. THE PHOEN Arizona's Gre Phoenix.

Shillady, of New York, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who has been studying the Chicago race riots, issues a statement in which he declares the N. A. A. C. P. will make a determined effort to get behind the superficial aspects of the issues involved in the Chicago outbreak. Mr. Shillady says: There has been formed in Chicago upon my initiative a Joint Emergency Committee to deal with the situation as regards the needs of the Colored community, in so far as all elements will work through this committee. This committee is of an executive character on matters of policy and action, but leaving constituent organizations free to do such part of the work as they may be willing and able to do. The committee consists of one each from Cook County Bar Association (colored lawyers' organization), Urban League, Y. M. C. A., N. A. A. C. P. and Ministers-Social Workers Citizens' Conference, the latter a group which has been meeting daily at Olivet Baptist church. Further, one will always be available to meet as often as is required. The president is Prof. Robert E. Park, president Urban League; the secretary, Dr. Charles E. Bentley, N. A. A. C. P. The lawyers furnish free one of their number to be at each police station and court every morning to take charge of the legal defense of any colored person needing such service. Headquarters have been arranged for at Olivet church, where two salaried lawyers, at least one stenographer, and necessary investigators, paid and volunteer, will be stationed to receive relatives and friends of men in jail and under arrest. Proper inquiry is to be made into the cases of all under arrest. "Apportionment of the tasks to be assumed by the co-operating organizations will be made by the joint committee arrangements for financing the work, etc. It is planned to appeal to the churches and people of Chicago for support. "The first duty of city and state authorities is to put down rioters, no matter who they may be nor how much force is required for the task. After order has been restored, a commission appointed by the governor should begin work at once. Its findings will be eagerly looked for by the good citizens of Chicago who so unexpectedly found themselves in the midst of violence and bloodshed, but they will be no less eagerly welcomed by other cities of the country whose colored populations, at least, are apprehensive of similar attacks upon their peace and safety." "Such an outbreak as that through which it is hoped Chicago has safely passed did not arise out of a single incident. What the citizens of Chicago should concern themselves with, is the more far-reaching causes which made white mobs join in mass attacks upon the Negroes of the city. It is deeply significant that the so-called riot zone has been confined, since the first day's rioting to what has been familiar called the 'Black Belt.' "This restriction of the riot area is conclusive proof that the Negroes were not the aggressors in the conflict. No mass attacks have been made upon the white citizens of the so-called 'white' sections. The public should bear these facts in mind and not be misled into the assumption that because the police are concentrating in the 'Black Belt' that the colored people are the dangerous element. "The colored people are Americans. This year marks the three hundredth anniversary of their coming to America. As a race, few Americans can trace an ancestry farther back than they. Their progress during the past fifty years has been one of the marvels of modern times. Their standards of living are nearer to that of native-born white citizens than are the standards of the unskilled foreign laborers whom they have been supplanting in the labor market since the cessation of European migration cut off the labor supply from southeastern Europe. The thousands who have come from the South to man the war industries have not come to work a few months and hoard their savings in the hope of returning from whence they came, but have brought their families with them to settle down where they could have an American chance for a living, education for their children and fair treatment. They ask for no favors but they do demand justice. "One mistake should not be made in the haste for a ready-made solution of race friction, that of assuming that the Negro can be set off by himself in a separate part of the city with a completely segregated life. Such ideas are too fantastic for serious consideration. Attempts to segregate the Negro cannot be made with any hope of success. All such efforts can have but one result—failure and renewed friction. If the white people will give the Negro a fair deal and no favors, all will be well." Sense and Nonsense (By Mrs. Marlon Noble) I dropped in at a meeting last Tuesday evening of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., which I enjoyed very much. Many points of interest were brought out. Mr. J. A. Green advised them to be sure they were right and then go ahead. I was impressed with the dignified and manly way Mr. Ford put his remarks. In fact, every man in the house gave us some thought to take home. Mr. Aubrey Carter rose to a point of order, threw a handful of "Parliamentary" that made all of us sit up and take notice.

P. look handsome when he wanted to resign and they wouldn't let him? He batted his eyes, stuck out his mouth like a little boy (but he is married). Mr. Robert Stearns lost no time in making the president hear him, if everybody was standing at once. The editor of this paper is the smilingest man I ever saw. He can smile from 65 cents to $2 out of your pocket before you know it for the paper. Smile on Mr. Editor. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Leaville directing, Lt. Mae Kemp, Sergeants Murray and Anna Reid head the organization. Three ambulances, two busses and a dozen cars owned by members are used in the transportation service. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, a member of the National League, donted three motors for the use of the Hayward Unit. Every day the trim kahi colored ambulances may be seen standing in front of hospital entrances, ready for a load of convalescents to be taken to the races at Sheephead c Jamaica, to a baseball game at the Polo grounds, or on a "seeing New York tour." Chinatown, the Ghetto, Wall street, Riverside Drive and Coney Island are interesting sights for the boy who has never before crossed the Mason Dixon Line. There is no form of recreation that the colored boy enjoys more than to see the largest city in the world, and to have its wonders pointed out to him. Debarkation Hospital No. 5, Polyclinic and the Messiah Home for Shell Shocked men, contribute hundreds of soldiers weekly to these trips. Officials of the hospitals are pleased with the arrangements as an aid to speedy convalescence; they declare that with new thoughts to occupy the minds of the patients, their work is greatly facilitated. Also they are secure in the knowledge that their charges will have excellent care while enjoying the outing, that they will be brought back on time, and that there is no danger of mishaps. The Hayward Unit maintains headquarters at Nq. 200 West. 139 St. Comfortable rest rooms for reading, writing and relaxation are provided, and a fine piano, player-piano and Victrola are placed at the disposal of visiting soldiers. Sunday picnics in the country are popular features of the work of the Unit, as are minstrel shows, parades and carnivals. But the greatest boon of all is an opportunity for self expression in music, the colored race night as well be deprived of food as of its little gatherings for singing and playing musical instruments. Among those who have been entertained at the club house are members of the 369th Colored Regiment, commanded by Col. "Bill" Hayward, which won such lasting place in the hearts of Americans by its gallant deeds in France, and no little fame as the originators of "jazz" music. A Missourian, en route for a ball game, said recently: "Down South, we thought New Yorkers were cold, indifferent folks, and that we'd just have to wait in misery for our discharges and a chance to get back home. I'll say the women of the Hayward Unit have been pretty nice to us, and when I get down home I'm going to tell them all about the good times we've had. The follows didn't expect anything like this, and they're having the time of their lives. Why, New York folks are just like home folks, after all." The activities of the motor corps are not confined to military operations, however. Civilian hospitals, orphanages and Old Folks' homes come in for their just share of relief work. Old men and women, friendless and dispirited, are gladdened by a motor ride to and from church on Sundays. The Lincoln Home for Old Folks (colored) sends many to church through the efforts of the league. Four thousand orphans were recently entertained at an amusement park near the city; the day including the free distribution of ice cream, candy and cakes. The upkeep of motors and ambulances, the distribution of delicacies and numerous small expenses are met by special contribution. Even the smallest amount of money can be stretched to bring happy hours to sufferers, and the motor corps will be grateful for any sum, however modest. Imagine your own plight were you a helpless invalid, confined to the sick room during all the glorious days of the summer. How wonderful it would be to be able, through the courtesy of generous donors and the efforts of the Hayward Unit to drive through the country, weekly, enjoying the sight, sound and fragrance of nature's beauty. The motor corps, has proven its worth. Captain Leaville is rewarded by the ability to look backward on the work done thus far and face the future saying: "The Hayward Unit in brightening the path of the sick and unfortunate is attaining the utmost in personal service." 100,000 Men in Uniform Entertained by Only Colored Motor Corps in World (Special to the Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The only elcored women's motor corps in the world is that of the Hayward Unit, a branch of the National League for Women's Service in New York City. If you can imagine the feeling of a man in the desert, coming unexpectedly upon an oasis, you will appreciate the surprise and joy of colored soldiers, lying wounded in New York hospitals, at sight of women of their own race to comfort and cheer them as they had so often seen their white brothers visited by other members of the League. While the work of the Hayward the Hayward Unit, the majority are natives of Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee. Forty members of the motor corps devote a large part of their time to the soldiers. With Captain Sadie Those who breed hate, sow to the wind and the whirlwind is their harvest. FISH HOUSE 27 So.

"Lonesome Louisiana", lying on a cot in the big ward at Debarkation Hospital No. 3, brightens visibly at the approach of Sergeant Pearl Murrey, and when she mentions that "some of the boys are going up to see a ball game this afternoon," and asks him to join the party, his exclamation of pleasure sounds as though he had forgotten all about being sick. There is no reason why a colored key should feel lonely or neglected in New York. And judging by the number who have been entertained by the motor corps, there exists only satisfaction and happy memories for the colored convalescent when he leaves for his home town.

"I can't explain it, except on the theory that the Negro has a readier ear for sound than the white man," said Captain Fridge. "It was astounding how quickly many of the Negroes in our labor battalions picked up a working acquaintance with the French language. They never obtained its fundamentals, of course, but it didn't take them long to pick up enough French to make themselves understood among the natives." FLAGSTAFF (By Reginald Jackson) Mrs. W.
