No. 39. --- REAL DEMOCRACY FOR COLORED SOLDIERS Knightsof Columbus Draw no Line. Great Catholic Organization Doesn't Humiliate Men Because They Happen to be Black Americans. BY JOSEPH J. CANAVAN Unofficial reports filtering back from the fighting front in France have added the final touch of amplification to the phrase contained in a German official statement when the big drive by American troops was at its heights a few weeks ago, and which noted that black Americans had hammered their way gloriously through the Hun lines. It was not, though, until the battle was over, according to the unofficial version of the same fighting, that the brigado commander summoned the colonel of a negro regiment before him and demanded to know in three military fashion, why that colonel had not maintained better control had not maintained better control everything else, he had not stopped his men and kept them from passing beyond their appointed objectives, and, in fact, hacking their way into ahead of their own protective barrage. Stop them, queried the colonel. Stop them Hell, man, how do you expect me to stop them, when the whole German army could not do it. The brigade commanders reply is not of record, either officially or unofficially, but the story, is only one of a thousand that is being told of the admirable dash and courage of the Americans who compose the negro units of the expeditionary forces and which every day are out there in the thick of the fighting and holding their place in the line wherever they may be called upon to do their military bit. In just the same manner, the men who compose those regiments are partaking of the carefully built up welfare work that is being accomplished on both sides of the water by the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities. In fact, they are receiving special attention, both in camp on this country and K. of C. huts in France, and the work among the negro troops is being broadened as rapidly as the numbers of the negro arroos grow, under the operation of the selective service laws and by voluntary enlistment, the latter apparently being a particularly inviting method for Negroes getting into the army. Under the system as it now has been working out, the Nego soldier needs no other countersign than his khaki uniform to gain for him every advantage offered by the Knights service. True there are places both in this country and abroad, where the Knights of Columbus have erected special huts for the use of the negro soldiers. But where that has been done, it has been at the express request of the Negro soldiers themselves, who in numerous instances have expressed a preference for a building of their own, where they may enjoy their own pleasure in their own way, and be assured of meealing their own friends when and where and under what circumstances they desire. Such an arrangement has been granted by the K. of G. upon requests of the men themselves at Camp Moude, at Admiral, Md., where one of the three K. of C. huts, which are looked after by eleven secretaries, has been set aside for megro troops. The same action at Camp Dodge, at Des Moines, Ia., where one of the three K. of C. buildings has been set aside for their exclusive use. At Camp Dodge, however, there are thirteen secretaries, the service of everone of them being always at the call of any trooper who requests them. The same rule applies at Camp Funston, at Fort Riley, Kas., where one of the three buildings of the K. of C. has been given to the Negroes, and there is a building for the negro troops also at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky where the Knights have four tents. As the work expands and as the number of negro troops has been enlarged, the facilities for catering to their wants have been correspondingly increased in keeping with the recently adopted slogan of the organization. Everybody Welcome, Everything Free. The baseballs, tennis equipments shower baths, books canny cigarettes and all other things which the Knights have been distributing to the soldiers in this country as well as brand the transports and in the crops rest billets and front line trenches in France have gone in equal proportion to the Negro troops under the organizations rule that the war service of the Knights shall be conducted without regard to race, color or religion or any other factor except that the recipient of it be a member of the military or naval forces of the United States. has been accented in the spirit of co-operation that has been built up between the big Catholic relief organization and the Jewish Welfare Board, which is directing the work among the Jewish soldiers, of whom, like the negroes, there are many thousands, both in the army and navy. At Port Hamilton, in Brooklyn, and Camp Merrita, the army embarkation camp at Tenafly, N. J. for instance, the Jewish Welfare Board attaches are using the K. of C. buildings and equipment regularly, with the consent and approval willingly given, of the Knights supreme organization. Similarly, the other day, when there were six negro soldiers entraining at Port Jervis, N. Y., on their way to Goshen, N. Y., from where they were to start upon their journey to a training camp, it was a group of Knights of Columbus secretaries who met them and supplied them with cigarettes and tobacco. It happened, however, the the six negro draft men did not take a train from Port Jervis. Instead, the Knights loaded them in automobiles and drove them across the pretty hilly country to their point of departure for the camps. There were only six men in that draft consignment, but the Knights service would have been as hearty and as general if they had numbered 600. And they have been innumerable instances where that larger number of men have been cared for and had their wants provided by the Knights, as the men themselves have testified. KANSAS ANNUAL CONFERENCE African Methodist Hold Good Meeting at Omaha. The A. M. E. annual conference was held at Omaha, Nebr., ast week, Bishop H. B. Parks, presiding. Much credit is due Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church and his officers, both ladies and gentlemen who did so much to entertain the conference. There was a different committee to serve meals each day, Rev. Broadnax and members of South Omaha also had one day. Both churches are to be complimented for the manner in which they fed and entertained the members of the conference Rev. Broadnax is a refined minister and loved and respected by his church and the people of South Omaha. Rev. Williams is to be praised for the success he has had since he has been in charge of St. John church for not only has over two hundred members been added but he has raised several thousand dollars and is now preparing to move his church to another spot.. This church is out of debt and the property is becoming very valuable but is not located in a district where most of the colored people reside and so is not convenient of the people. Rev. Williams thinks he will build a garage where the parsonage now stands which will bring the church a nice income. This sounds good to us, the fact that a church is out of debt and can put some of its lots bringing in a revenue. There were several distinguished visitors present at the conference among whom was Rev. James Washington of San Francisco, who had been to Lexington, Mo., to visit his old home. He speaks highly of the success of the A. M. E. church is making in California. Reports showed that the A. M. E. churches of Kansas and Nebraska were in a prosperous condition. There were a few ministers ordained and four superanuated. Rev. Terril was changed as presiding elder from Wichita to Omaha district. Rev. King was taken from his district as presiding elder and assigned as pastor of St. John A. M. E. church, Topeka, Rev. J, T. Smith, presiding elder of Kansas City district was returned. Rev. J, D. Smith, brother of J. T. Smith, was made presiding elder of the Wichita district. Rev. J, R. Ransom was returned as pastor of St. Paul A. M. I church, Wichita. At this writing we have no complete list of the appointments but will publish them later. Conference will meet at Kansas City, Kansas, next year Bishop Parks did not give any reason for changing presiding elder King and appointing him pastor of St. John church but we glean from what he said that he still has a sore spot because of the election of Rev Jesse Peck as president of Western University Rev. King supported Rev Peck as the understanding was that the people wanted a Kansas man as president of Western University and Rev King being appointed by the governor complied with the wishes of the state in favoring Rev Peck which action angered the bishop as he desired the appointment of some one else. In handing Rev King his assignment, he said to him, Mother King go to TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING SEPT. 27, 1918 St. John and build that church. You are a Kansas man, speak Kansas language and know what Kansas people want, therefore you are requested to take this appointment and I wish you well. This was quite a dissappointment for presiding elder King who knew of no reason why this change should be made at this time we presume the bishop is trying to get even. We are sorry to see Bishop Parks who is considered a high class christian gentleman resort to such methods. Knowing as he did that St. John was struggling to build her church he could have consulted with her trustees before making the appointment, but instead of hurting us, he has helped us. great world war will have been fought in vain for America if it does not bring Black America and White America a closer together rather than send them further apart. We ask the Commander and Chief of the Army and Navy to abolish every force and color line among the forces of our common Uncle Sam. We ask the Director of the Railroads of the nation to abolish the hideous Jim crow cars of the south as a matter of economy and of winning the war. We ask the An american people to kill the monster of segregation gnawing at the altars of the nation We are fighting today for and as one American people, one and inseparable, now and forever! Tuesday Omaha ling the Mr. J day after mules, teeth to Mr. Wich news in Billy in the night the night the Mrs. Perkers of the day more We are in receipt of an nouncement from Mrs. A. E. Waddleton of the marriage of her daughter Rachel Colquitt to Mr. Samuel L. C. Weater field, L. L. B. on Wednesday, August 29th at 1517 Church Street N. W. Washington, D. C., and they are now at home to friends at 4005 Champlin Avenue, Chicago. SELF-SEGREGATION NOT PATRIOTIC There have been many colored men during this world war who have done an unpatriotic thing, an un-American thing. They have asked that their race be segregated, that their race be denied a place in the melting pot of all other races beneath the Stars and Stripes. While the hyphen has been buried with the oblivion of a divided alliance; while the patriotic statesmen of this Republic have been thundering from Washington to the Golden Gates of California, from Maine to Oregon, for a fusing of all the people of the land into one American race, we find may pigs black men seeking to have their race set apart in all the efforts for the common good. Self-self for the most part they have sought for segregated camps, for segregated Y, M, C, A, huts, for segregated canteens and new for segregated Knights of Columbus huts. Either for themselves or some of their friends, like the black nun-bird leaders who ask for separate public schools in the Northern States, they have been looking for jobs. The caste influence of segregation upon their race in the sight of all the foreign races being welcomed into the white American body politics has made no appeal to them. The sure degradation of separate accommodations into inferior accommodations with the lasep of time either not occurred to them or concerned them so long as they could get the jobs now. The unpatriotic thing which they do in striving to pre-petulate race and cast lines in this Republic when with liberty loving people the world over are fighting for Democracy and against caste and race barriers, has not penetrated the thick skulls of many of these blatant ignoramuses and demagogues. Unlike the other peoples of the world they have sough through hypocrisy and currish fawning at the feet of those in power, through base treachery to the cause of their own race advancement to postpone for their own people the thing for which they have been fighting and dicing for others. But not all of the black men who have been seeking segregation for their race have been of the bread and butter brigade. Through their admiration for these leaders, a host of unthinking others have been mutilated. The efforts of both have been equally ruinous if not fatal to a square deal of democracy for their people when the deal is made at the peace table and the years thereafter. Both have gone up and down the country asking for (a Negro this) and (a Negro that) until statesman are beginning to feel that the race feels itself inferior and unworthy, that the race prefers to be jumrow even in the crisis and even in the free state of this Republic. Many Caucasians bigots have added their dirty work to the slavish seeking of these black worthies. Together they have manufactured a self-segregation propaganda among colored people which is as dangerous to democracy in the final analysis as the hyphen of the Hun. There can no more be a Negro nation within the nation in this Republic if it is to endure then there can be a situation within the nation. There can be colored Americans, there can be white Americans. But they must all be Americans and nothing else. These are indeed the days of small men. What separate camps, what separate Christian Associations, what separate Catholic canteens would Fred Douglass, John Mercer Langston, Blanche K Bruce and James C Price be asking for in this world crisis if they were alive today? What chains of slavery would the race not wear had they not in those days of chaos and confusion stood for the truth, the further freedom and equality of their people. On every hand we hear from leading white war workers that the colored men going forth for Democracy prefer to be jumrow. How puridil is their patriotism, how hypocritical is their Christianity in promulgating such treachery. The truth is the race does not wish any more than it deserves distinct and different treatment in this nation lad. We say to every patriot in this country: Segregation is wrong; it is dangerous. It hurts both race today and for all time to come. grent world war will have been fought in vain for America if it does not bring Black America and White America closer together rather than send them further apart. We ask the Commander and Chief of the Army and Navy to abolish every caste and color line among the forces of our common Uncle Sam. We ask the Director of the Railroads of the nation to abolish the hideous Jim crow cars of the south as a matter of economy and of winning the war. We ask the American people to kill the monster of segregation gnawing at the skins of the nation. We are fighting today for and as one American people, one and inseparable, now and forever! WE WELCOME REV. H. W. KING WE WELCOME REV. H. W. KING St. John Church Will Receive the New Pastor With Open Arms. Rev. W. H. King who has been assigned as pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church is a high class Christian gentleman, honest and upright and the members will rally to his support and continue building the church. There is just as much credit due for building up and encouraging good citizenship and Christian organization as there is for attaining great financial success and if we will back of Rev King we can feel assured that the church will succeed. Let us show the bishop that instead of hutting us he has helped us by giving us Rev King as pastor Rev King is a pioneer of the Methodist church of Kan as and has done great work whatever he has been both as active pastor and as proud older. We are sure that his administration will be a success in Topek and that the church and citizen will have nothing to regret but will be made to feel proud of the appointment. COLORED SOLDIERS ANXIOUS TO CLASH WITH THE GERMANS The colored soothers of the American Army are not only anxious for real fighting, but many of them have ideals o f their duty. We are here, said Sergeant Greenleaf Johnson, from the colored Y. M. C. A. in Washington, D. C., not because we think the Negroes of the United States ought to be represented, but because we are American citizens and it is our duty to help our country in the war. We believe it, taking part even if it is small, in the great contest to make the world better morally, sooally and economically. We realize that any thing which helps our country helps the world and makes life better for all humanity. Sergeant Johnson also described the bravery of Captain Sylvester Epps, many years chief messenger for successive War Secretaries in Washington. He was in charge of the men who repelled a mud the Germans made on the lines in the Vauquois forest. Captain Arthur Davis, clerk in the Washington post office, also took part in the same fight, in which the enemy lost 100 in killed or wounded and fifa prisoners. Private Frank F Moore of Pittsburg, and Williams Curtis Washington of Meriden, Conn., were jarred by the same grenade which was stamped into the ground by another colored soldier and won for him the distinguished service cross. Corporal Robert S. Ellington, Chicago, has returned to his unit after receiving a stray bullet in his leg while directing rifle practice on a field within a range of enemy snipers. Private Andrew Mills of Richmond, Va., is convinced that colored men are just as visible at night as their white fellow soldiers. He shows a dent in his steel helmet made by the bullet of a German sniper when he peeled over the parapet of the French on a bright moonlight night. TUSKEGEE INSTITUE, ALA. September, 21st. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuckekee Institute, announced today the receipt of $1,200.00 from Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, Executive Head of the Poro College of Hair culture, Saint Louis, Missouri, Mr. and Mrs A. E.

SPECIAL TRAINING FOR COLORED YOUNG, SOLDIERS Mr Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, announces: The War Department has worked out a high) comprehensive system of mental and manual training for the young colored men who have been called into the United States Army, or who are likely to be called through the new selective draft law. The educational systems have been adopted to increase the efficiency of the man power of the military service. The first is the Training Detachment, or Vocational Section, which has already proven its value as an agency for the betterment of the embryo soldiers through the nearly 3,000 that have been turned out of skilled workers in many technical branches, all of which tend to improve their chance for usefulness and advancement in the army and qualify them for livelihood after the war. Some of the subjects embraced in the courses offered at the schools get apart for this vocational training are: radio, or wireless telegraphy, electricity, auto-mechanics and chauffeur truck-driving, blacksmith wheeledighting, carpentry, bench wood working, cobbling, concrete working, horse shoeing, pipe fitting, etc. TRAINING DETACHMENTS AND VOCATIONAL SECTIONS The schools so far selected to give this special locational training to the young colored men of draft age, who shall for this purpose be induced into the active military service, are: Tuskegee Institute, Tennessee Institute, Ala.; Hampton Institute, Hamilton, Va.; Howard University, Washington, D. C.; Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga.; Georgia State A and M College, Savannah, Ga.; North Carolina A and T College, Greensboro N. C. South Carolina A and M College, Orangeburg, S. C.; Prairie View Normal and Industrial College, Prairie View, Texas; Lincoln University, Chester County, Pa.; West Virginia Collegiate Institute, Institute, W. Va.; Witherforce University, Witherforce, Ohio; Alabama A and M College, Normal, Alabama; Tennessee A. and M. College, Nashville, Tenn.; and Louisiana A and M College, Natron Rouge, La., fourteen in all COLLEGIATE SECTIONS COLLEGEATE SECTIONS OF STUDENT ARMY TRAINING CORP. In a number of the leading colored colleges of the land provision has been made for the establishment of units of the Student Army Training Corps. Students of these schools enter in the usual way, subject to the regulations of the individual institutions as to the educational and other qualifications. If above eighteen years of age and registered with his local board, the matriculant may apply for voluntary induction into the military service of the nation, privilege being on or about October 1st. They will receive $30.00 per month subsistence, housing uniform and equipment, and their tuition will be paid by the Government. Graded by proficiency, the student may later be assigned to duty either by transfer to and officers training camp, or to continue his technical or scientific studies in the school where he is enrolled, or to a non-commissioned officers training school, or to a vocational training school, or will be transferred to a cantonment for duty as a private. Under this far reaching system young men will be given opportunity to continue their education while receiving military training and will have the advantages of a skillful preparation before entering upon their duties in the field. The schools selected in the College Section, and where units of the Student Army Training Corps have been already authorized under the new law are, Howard University, Washington, D.C.; Lincoln University, Chester Counts, Pa.; Pask University, Muharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn.; Atlanta University and Morhouse College, combined, Atlanta, Ga.; Wiley University and Bishop College combined, Marshall, Texas, Talladega College, Alabama; Virginia; Union Universit Price $1.50 Per Year Richmond, Va.; Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio. In the Vocational Section of the Students Army Training Corps the schools so far selected, in which military training is given in connection with the regular courses in technical and mechanical subjects, are Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial Institute, Hampton, Virginia. Other applications are now receiving favorable consideration. The wisdom of taking advantages of these golden opportunities by young colored men will be seen at a glance and it is expected that this opportunity to continue their education, coupled with thorough military training, will be accepted most readily by them. It will mean that the enrollment at the representative schools named herein will be largely augmented during the coming terms, resulting in a richer field for their life activities, an improved morale for the colored American people as a whole, and above all an opportunity for service in this great national emergency.
