Richmond, Va., April 2. 1918.—No American Citizen wants to be segregated because the Constitution of this Government guarantees each citizen equal rights. But in spite of this we are Jim-Crowed and segregated in other ways by the States and private parties. If we would stop to think we would recognize that we are helping to segregate ourselves. Whereen we purchase goods at a store that forbids us from being served at the soda fountain or in the cafeteria are we not encouraging them to Jim Crow us? We are also encouraging the same thing when we patronize the Theatres and Movies run by them. We could name other instances where we are helping to segregate our selves. It is not necessary to patronize these places and be Jim-Crowed for if the stores of our Race cannot furnish our wants the stores that do not segregate us can. But we have to ride on street cars and have our rights entrapped upon so let us resolve to be segregated where we cannot help ourselves only and then we can fight that segrega pen better for the enemy will not have any defense. In other words let us Boy-Cott places that bar us from all of its services. If this is done the bars will be moved. W. A. JACKSON MINISTERS' CONFERENCE OF FREDERICKSBURG WANTS SOLDIERS SAVED. --- 1. That we petition the President of the United States to exercise clemency on behalf of the five soldiers of the 24th Infantry who now stand on the denalty of death for the part they are alleged to have taken in the riot Houston, Texas August 1917. 2. That the execution of thirteen (13) members of this regiment and the life imprisonment of others are in our judgement sufficient penalty for the lawlessness in which they were allied to have participated. 3. That the past record of this regiment stands out prominently as a mountain on the plain, for peace, or der and loyalty, which ought to com mend itself to your money in view of the extenuating circumstances. 4. That in spite of injustices of all descriptions heaped upon us as a race, we are yet willing to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of our country to help make this world safe for se moracy a place of safety for all men to live, regardless of creed or race; To this end we pray, that you exercise the fullest mercy to these five soldiers now under penalty of death.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1918 JEWS IN SYMPATHY WITH NEGRO CAUSE "THAT PARADE IN NEW YORK CITY AN ECHO FROM THE BLACK MAN." (From Jewish Gazette, July, 1917) "Without music without wordage without force, and without resolutions, on Saturday they marched through Fifth Ave. The procession was a quiet protest from the Negro against the unrighteousness that is practiced against them. A protest against Jim-Crow cars, against segregation, lynching and whole sale murder of their people, such as occurred in Waco, Memphis and East St. Louis. The procession made a great impression because it was a quiet protest. It touched all intelligent people at the heart, even more than all speeches and resolutions could have done. That was a protest of the whole race against unrighteousness and persecutions, which the race has endured without a murmur and without sin committed against any one. Every white man who saw the procession turned red in the face and let his countenance fall because he lives in such times not such persecutions. And every Jewish heart jumped more than others, as his eyes flashed upon the banners passing by him, for he was thinking of the unrighteousness that is done this race. For who other than a Jew knows more the taste of persecution; who other than Jews know more court trials with no justice. JEWISH SYMPATHY The Jewish people that have lived in the old world who saw that procession under banners could sympathize with those in the procession. They know well enough of the injustices that that procession protested against. Every one of us felt the unrighteousness that was written on those banners was the strain of America. Our America that is loving and dear to all of us. More than 50 years ago the Negroes were set free. And they should enjoy such freedom as that in English colonies where black and white live together under the English flag in peace and harmony. There the Negro does not rape the white woman and the white man does molest the Negro man. And there the Negro also has full fledged suffrage and equal rights and the law is no dead letter. But in most of the United States the law is a dead letter in its application to black men. For what sin has the Negro been persecuted and lynched? The only kind God gave him a black skin and different appearance from others and this is the only way to account for this persecution. Mr. Zanwell's definition for antisemitism is dislike for those that are unlike. When the sin of harped for those different from ourselves obtains all other sins may be expected to folow. One of those banners said "We are persecuted and called lazy when we do not work and slaughtered when we do work." EERE AGAINST THEIR WILL. The race is not at fault for the great Negro question, in this country we did not create it. Negroes were cap tured and brought here against their will and used as slaves in tilling the land, while such work was thought by many whites to be against their dignity. But the broad minded people of America protested this slave system. So after four years of bloody war the black slaves were set free. This freedom did not come from the good will of those who profited by the system, but from the Federal government and was taken by many white people of the south as an insult and injustice them. And many have done their best to make emancipation a dead letter. And not being able to make the Negro work against his will they use many other ways to imbitter his life. Negro children do not have fair play in education and so often Negroes do not get justice in the courts and they are often lynched for ordinary larceny. The whole life of the Negro in this land has become unsafe. And for the last three years the Blacks have gone North and have found some of these evils and bitterness here that they left in the south. The East St. Louis Massacre was the answer to this immigration. So ten thousand Negroes have marched in that sad procession and twenty thousand Negroes lined the streets through which the procession passed. The Negro race has silently protested against the East St. Louis slaughter. And that march should awaken sympathy among the deep thinking people of America. COL. ROOSEVELT'S PROTEST. And it is sad that this East St. Louis violence did not call forth a general protest from the public press not from the labor organizations of the country, but they have striven to smoothhe over and make excuses for it. The only great white American, a great big-hearted man to publicly protest against this affair was ExPresident, T. Roosevelt, who brought his test in Carnegie hall, explaining the shame of America at the time that she was giving wealth and her best blood to democracy in Europe to be silent at the outrage of East St. Louis. This protest enraged the President of the American Federation of Labor. And even the New York Times protest against Roosevelt for raising the question at such a time and place." After all it was nothing but Negro blood and why make such fuss about it? We Jews can only feel the Negro's pain, for we ourselves for generations have long endured what the Negro is now enduring. The Negro's trouble makes us thing about our own condition. It shows us that liberty on paper has no worth if it is n ot from a full heart. The Jew's liberty in England and America is such a thing that a man has suspicion of what has been brought out by practical life. The liberty of the Jews in Romania has remained on paper because the peo people have never consented. The Jews in Russia have never enjoyed full liberty. Time only will answer this question.

Danville, Va., April 3.—Upon making inquiry today as to the cause of dissatisfaction among the Danville po Leemen, Mayor Wooding was told that nine of the men would resign at the beginning of May. One of the officers led the Mayor in court that there was much dissatisfaction and that they were tired of being abused. The men, he continued resented being fined for using clubs when Negroes who attack them are dealt with leniently. The Mayor instructed the chief of police to secure the names of the dissatisfied men. The situation arose a few hours after Patrolman S. W. Bowles had been fined $20 for clubbing a Negro. Mayor Wooding on hearing of the trouble, said that he had no apologies to make and that if the men felt that way they should resign. A telegram from the chief of police at Newport News announced that there were six vacancies waiting to be filled in that city. The salary is $125 per month and in Danville $75.

LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER The Grim Reaper, Death, is gathering a great harvest in the Magic City this Spring. Among the many called to that Great Unknown, in the last week wore, Mr. Earley Craig, of Second Church, S. Mrs. R. B. of North Church, N. Mrs. R. B. of North Church, N. Mr. Samuel Goodson of London Ave. N. W. Mr. Goodson tilted in Charleston W. Va., where he was erecting a large brick plant. His remains were brought to Roanoke Sunday night. Funeral Wednesday at two o'clock at the High Street Baptist Church, of Roanoke. Funeral Tuesday at two o'clock from his late home with his parents and the funeral of Mrs. Harth was from St. Paul M. E. Church, Tuesday afternoon. The sermon by Rev. S. M. Beane, the pastor, was one of the most eloquent remarks as well as the feeling remarks by Rev. Ricks, of the First Baptist Church. Mrs. Harth was, one of Roanoke's oldest citizens, a woman of refinement and culture. She was president of Ladies Ald; secretary of Past Chofs' Council, St. Lukes; Past Rothe Governor, Household of Rothe Christian lady who loved the oppressed and her Church, and in health was ever found doing all in her power to further the cause of righteousness. Surely a great, good woman is gone. Peace to her ashes, rest for her soul. Sir L. H. Board, Special Deputy is very ill at his home on Fourth avenue. N. W. His little friends are much excited over his serious condition. Captain H. L. Shelton, of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, is also very ill with double Pneumonia. Easter Sunday, a most beautiful day for the fair sex to show now bonnets, slippers, laces and ribbons, but it was the good fortune of a few gentlemen to be the guest of Mr. David Callaway, (known among the Hogs as Peg-leg Callaway) at an Easter Stag, Sunday afternoon. Pogleg Dave had invited the bunch, and the lady of the house, Miss Rosa when it comes to a class by herself had things in tip-top shape when the guest arrived and after a few moments spent in exchanging greetings our old pal was introduced by Youra Truly, accompanied by ginger-ale. Then down to the beautiful dining room, where the lady had really put it on. The table and row were decorated with Easter Lilies, Pans or Ross. The menu: Olive, baked eggs, boiled eggs, potato salad, lettuce with mayonnaise, rye bread, plumbe sandwiches, 'Green River?' Yes, sir-roe, fresh strawberry cream, lady fingers, black coffee, cigars and cigarettes. Some menu—some bunch. They did leave the lady her dishes, but that's all, and there was plenty more to eat. W. B. F. Crowell was tostmaster and those present and responding to toasts were as follows: W. H. (Sugar Foot) Callaway, the oldest brother of this noted family; Ding-It Hughes, C. W. (Old Lick) Thompson, another brother, Lucky Gus Watkins, the other brother, J. Thomas Callaway, the brother-in-law, H. M. Barksdale, the capt, Capt. R. Lee Lane, of Norfolk, Va. and Dr. H. J. (Strangler) Monkey Some very fine speeches were made Proper Tate, Captain Lane and Strangler Moseley shining, while poor little me sat by to keep the Green River from over-flowing and was hap to say none got away, at least, but no notice. When all was over the cobble stone away Strangler Moseley led in singing, 'How Firm A Foundation' then a few remarks from Peg-leg Dave and the Tostmaster called up and led in singing, 'God Be With You', and called Ding-It to dismiss us. Every one voted this the greatest yet, but what can you expect when its a Callaway doing the thing. They always go the limit. It is one of Roanoke's oldest families and nothings will please them. All of us thanked to Miss English who prepared the feast and you, too. Peg-leg Dave, and all Little Willie wants is to get THE RICHMOND PLANET SHIPS BEGINNING TO INCREASE. in that beautiful name of J. Thomas and then he will sing, Thomas at Last Yours, LITTLE WILLIE. AT THE NATION'S METROPOLIS The Negro American Alliance aims to Bring Negroes of America and the World Together—Will present the Cause of the Negro in Great Publications—Louis W. George pre presents Florence Cole Tahler noted Singer of Chicago in Recital At Acadian Hall—Starts Book Campaign for Negro Soldiers—National Association holding Series of Meetings. Allen's National News Bureau. 2 West 131 Street, New York, N. Y. April 1, 1918.—The Negro American Alliance a movement which has been started by James A. Lightfoot, a young Negro lawyer and Floyd D. Joshi, a young Negro writer both of Atlantic City has worked out a program that will bring together the Negroes of America and the world into an organization that will do much more than just write this country, as well as to secure the fundamental rights which are due them in this country. The scope of the movement is one that will make a fine appeal to the thoughtful members of the race in America and seems the clearest program that has even been mapped out, having for its object the solidifying the colored people of America into a great body. It is a great achievement that will make its appeal to the new Negro, the New 20th century, the Negro with which this country will have to deal from now on. The aims and purposes of the organization are set forth in a little booklet which has just reached me and which ought to be in the hands of every man and woman of the race. One of the things that it aims to do is to establish branches throughout the country for the purpose of calling at every man and woman of this kind a mission of once, and that nothing can really be accomplished without team work and a definite program. The organization has no political ambitions, but is one that is dedicated wholly to civil economic and industrial rights of the Negro and feels that if these are secured the other things will follow in a natural course. Its aim is to form a mighty gigantic movement that will establish a defense fund that will make it possible to have redress in the courts. The Negro American Alliance will seek to advertise the progress and achievements of the Negro through a series of paid advertisements in great publications like The Saturday Afternoon Post, a medium that reaches ten people. The Negro will not be pressured as much as did the progressive, thrifty American citizen, who has earned his place in American life by the great progress that he has made. Through this medium of advertisement the real case of the Negro will be presented as it should be and as it will have to be in the last analysis. This counteracts the rising and erroneous statements that are offered in the daily news papers of the country -relative to the Negro. One of the most forward movements that is included in the program of the Alliance is to send abroad bright young Negro graduates of the large American universities who will be sent to the various cities abroad like Paris, Petroglad, Tokyo, Rio Janeiro and other great centers for the purpose of educating the world relative to the real progress of the Negro and to head off that sentiment that is off en made by Southerners who go abroad spreading their program of race hate record. In order that the Negro child must come some ideas of its own great men and the Negro American Alliance will publish series of Child's histories of great Negro Americans like Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglas and John M. Langston and others of such note. This will give the Negro child incentive to inspire to become something in life and to be of service to the race and his country. The movement will inaugurate a National Negro Newspaper day when an effort will be made to get members of the race to subscribe for at least two of the leading race journals of the race and to bring about a greater approach to the issue of race. It will fight the inflamed Jim-Crow law, as well as lynching, and other unjust discrimination of which the Negro suffers in America. In short the Negro American Alliance aims to bring before the Negro the correct attitude he should as same towards these great world problems to get a new grit up among self in the greatest ages of the world's history. The opening paragraph of the foreword of the booklet reads: "With head erect with footsteps firm, with faith sublime, the American Negro be gains a new epoch in his career. His is now about to enamble himself so that can develop those qualities which will enable him to reach the race and which will enable it to in spire to those things which are achieved only as the result of complete spiritual and physical freedom. The head quarters of the alliance is at 23-25 Atlantic Insurance Building, Atlantic City, N. J., and every loyal Negro should send at once for this booklet setting forth the aims and purposes of the Negro Americans. The book can be be by enclosing twenty cents. LOUIS W.

STARTS BOOK CAMPAIGN FOR A book campaign for the thousand of Negro soldiers throughout the country has been launched in this city and headquarters opened at 2303 Seventh Avenue. The aim of the movement is to call attention to the necessity of an urgent need of the thousands of colored soldiers be supplied with books on Negro subjects written by Negro authors on subjects that would be of interest of the men. The committee which is made up of Henry F. Downing and Louis W. George and be glad to hear from organizations throughout the country who would donate books of various subjects written by colored authors that could be sent to the various cantonments who re Negro soldiers are stationed. It is felt that these books would do much to inspire the men and call attention to some of the achievements that have been brought about by the colored soldiers who have fought in all of the wars of the world. An effort is being made to reach the churches through out the country and to have the mat of their people before the attention of the matter before a flow of getting the matter before the factibly as possible. The matter is a vital one and should be of particular interest to every man and woman of the race at this time. The movement was launched as the result of an article written by Henry F. Downing the well known author calling attention to the needs of the colored soldiers at the present time relative to the matter of having stimu lating books to read on the Negro by authors of his own race.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION HOLDING MEETINGS In order to arouse the race in this great city to their duty relative to the supporting of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the local branch of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is holding a series of meetings throughout the city at the various churches. The association is making a drive to reach every man and woman of the race in this city and to make the New York branch the largest and most potential organization of its kind. The local branch has been reorganized under the leadership of The Rev. F. A. Cullen and under his leadership the organization is doing its greatest work. A mass meeting under the auspices of the association was held at the Salem m. E. Church last Thursday evening and a large audience was present and heard what the organization is doing in the direction of calling attention to the necessity of their being such a movement supported here. Another meeting will be held at the Mother Zion Baptist Church next Wednesday evening. The association is working up to the large mass meeting that will be held at the Manhattan Casino on Friday evening April 11 which will bring to a close the first drive that the association has been making on new members of the or organization. The association plans to establish a branch office in this city where it will best meet the problems arising touching the civic conditions of the Nero. CLEVELAND G. ALLEN Trehernovillo News.

DON'T SEGREGATE YOURSELVES AND THEN KICK Richmond, Va., April 2. 1918—American Citizen wants to be segregated because the Constitution of this Government guarantees each citizen equal rights. But in spite of this we are Jim-Crowed and segregated in other ways by the States and private parties. If we would stop to think we would recuse that we are helping to segregate ourselves. We gooda gooda at a store that forbids us from being served at the goda fountain or in the catacfera are we not encouraging them to Jim Crow us? We are also encouraging the same thing when we patronize the Theatres and Movies run by them. We could name other instances where we are helping to segregate our selves. It is not necessary to patronize those places and be Jim-Crowed. If Race cannot furnish our wants the stores that do not segregate us can. But we have to ride on street cars and have our rights enthroned upon so let us resolve to be segregated where we cannot help ourselves only and then we can fight that segregation better for the enemy will not have any defenses. In other words let us Boy-Cott place that bar from all of its services. If this is done the bars will be moved. MINISTERS' CONFEDERENCE OF FREEDOM ANTIS SOLDIERS SAVED 1. That we petition the President of the United States to exercise clemency on behalf of the five soldiers of the 24th Infantry who now stand un der penalty of death for the part they are alleged to have taken in riot at Haiti on January 14, 2016. 2. That the execution of thirteen (13) members of this regiment and the life imprisonment of others are in our judgement sufficient penalty for the lawlessness in which they were alledged to have participated. 3. That the past record of this regi mation stands out prominently as a mountain of injustice, cruelty, der and loyalty, which ought to commend itself to your money in view of the extinguishing circumstances. 4. That in spite of injustices of all descriptions heaped upon us as a race, we are yet willing to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of our country to help make this world safe for demeanance—a place of safety for all men to live, regardless of creed or race: To this end we pray, that you exercise the fullest mercy to these five soldiers now under penalty of death.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1918 JEWS IN SYMPATHY WITH NEGRO CAUSE "THAT PARADE IN NEW YORK CITY AN ECHO FROM THE BLACK MAN." (From Jewish Gazette, July, 1917) ! Without music without words without force, and without resolutions on Saturday they marched through White Plains. The procession was a quiet protest from the Negro against the unrighteousness that is practiced against them. A protest against Jim-Crow cars, against segregation, lynching and whole sale murdering of their people, such as occurred in Waco, Memphis and East St. Louis. The procession made a great impression because it was a quiet people touched all intelligent people at the heart, even more than all speeches and resolutions could have done. That was a protest of the whole race against unrighteousness and persecutions, which the race has endured without a murmur and without his committed against any one. Every white man who saw the procession in the face and let his countenance fall before him such times and such persecutions. And every Jewish heart jumped more than others, as his eyes flashed upon the banners passing by him, for he was thinking of the unrighteousness that is done this race. For who other than a Jew knows more the taste of Jesus than he other than Jews know more out court trials with no justice. JEWISH SYMPATHY. The Jewish people that have lived in the old world who saw that procession under banners could sympathize with those in the procession. They know well enough of the injustices that that procession protested against Every one of us felt the unrighteous ness that was written on those banners was the strain of America. Our America that is loving and dear to all of us. More than 50 years ago the Negroes were set free. And they should enjoy such freedom as that in English colonies where black and white live (together under the English flag in peace and harmony). There the Negro does not rape the white woman and the white man does molest the Negro man. And there the Negro also has full fledged suffrage and equal rights and the law is no dead letter. But in most of the United States the law is a dead letter in its application to black men. For what sin that the Negro be persecuted and punished? And him a black skin and different appearance from others and this is the only way to account for this persecution. Mr. Zanweil's definition for anti-semitism is dislike for those that are unlike. When the sin of hatred for those different from ourselves obtains all other sins may be expected to follow. One of those banners said "We are persecuted and called lazy when we do not work and slaughtered wren we do work." EERE AGAINST THEIR WILL. The race is not at fault for the great Negro question, in this country he did not create it. Negroes were cap tureq and brought here against their will and used as slaves in tilling the land. But the black people by many whites to be against their dignity. But the broad minded people of America protested this slave system. So after four years of bloody war the black slaves were set free. This freedom did not come from the good will of those who profited by the system, but from the Federal government and was taken by many white people of the south as an insult and injustice. Them. And many have done their best to make emancipation a dead letter. And not being able to make the Negro work against his will they use many other ways to imbitter his life. Negro children do not have fair play in education and so often Negroes do not get justice in the courts and they are often lynched for ordinary larceny. The whole life of the Negro in this land has become unsafe. And for the last three years the Blacks have gone North and have found some of their evils and injustices here that they left the South. The East St. Louis Masque was the answer to this immigration. So ten thousand Negroes have marched in that sad procession and twenty thousand Negroes lined the streets through which the procession passed. The Negro race has silently protested against the East St. Louis slaughter. And that march should awaken people to deep thinking people of America. COL. ROOSEVELT'S PROTEST. And it is said that this East St. Louis violence did not call forth a general protest from the public press nor from the labor organizations of this country, but they have striven to smooth over and make excuse for it. The only great white American, a great hearted man to publicly protest against this affair was Ex-President, T. Roosevelt, who brought his test in Carnegie hall, explaining the shame of America at the time that she was giving wealth and her best blood to buy democracy in Europe to be silent at the outrage of East St. Louis. This protest entged the Presst dents of the American Federation of Labor. And even the New York Times protest against Roosevelt, or raising the question at such time and place." After all it was nothing but Negro blood and why make such fuss about it? We Jews can only feel the Negro's pain, for we ourselves for generations have long endured what the Negro is now enduring. The Negro's trouble makes us thing about our own condition. It shows us that liberty on paper has no worth if it is n ot from a full heart. The Jew's liberty in England and America is such a thing that a man has suspicion of what has been brought out by practical life. The liberty of the Jews in Romania has remained on paper because the people have never consented. The Jews in Russia have never enjoyed full liberty. Time only will answer this question.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES. ONE YEAR ..... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ..... .80 THREE MONTHS ..... .40 FOREIGN SUBSCRIPTIONS ..... $2.00 Governor Westmoreland Davis seems to have a mind of his own. He is a married gentleman too. We believe in sending the loafers to the front first and the workers to the same place afterwards. Col. Theodore Roosevelt is again on the firing line, looking at the people from a speaking platform. You should not eat much these days It is well to get used to the hunger that is yet to come. The rule of reason, and common sense is being now invoked in this Commonwetland and seems to be put into action. The stuff now being sold in this State under the name of whiskey is a disgrace to civilization and tends to increase the attendance in the in sano asylum. "Bottled in bond" formerly meant something. Now it is intended to deceive. A person who drinks it is liable "to fight his own grand-mother." If the Allies cannot succeed under a centralized leadership, we are all preordained to failure. In this demand, President Woodrow Witson was right. The war has done much towards the elimination of the color line both North and South. Khaki uniform on a black man looks about the same as khaki uniform on a white one. Persons who do right and live right have no need to worry about Heaven. They will be sure to get there. Of course they look out for a resting place in a good cemetry for the Bible makes no promises about that. --- Children, who roam the streets at night are losing their reputations although they may be guilty of no wrong-doing. Home is the best place for children after dark. This is no time to talk peace. It is the time to prepare for war. It is estimated that we have one hundred thousand troops in France, when we should have one million men there. If the American troops are to be brigaded with French troops, then the colored troops will receive all of the honors to which they are entitled and some of them may reach the rank of brigadier generals. --- Colored preachers are steadily increasing. Most of the people want to find the way to heaven although some of them seem to think that the straight and narrow path leads at times through a movie picture theatre. Colored folks who are disposed to go North can well afford to stay South after reading the happening in Dauville, Va., recently. We will ulti- mately get all of the rights and priv ileges South that are alleged to be ad corded us in the North. Some colored folks are noted for big feet. Some white folks are noted for the same thing. They are sending the same sizes of shoes to the white North that they are sending to the black South. When the white Baptists offered the black Baptists a fifty thousand dollar "plum" for educational purpose the dove of peace not only fluttered in the room of the Commission, but actually was able to alight upon the fore heads of all parties to the contention. Money does a great deal of harm sometimes, and at other times, it does a great deal of good. Some people should sleep more and some other people should sleep less. It is well to remember that alight is the proper time to sleep. Eating late at night and roaming the streets before and after midnight and trying to work during the day are all right--for the physicians and the undertakers. ```markdown ``` Some people read and pay for a colored Journal. They do so as a matter of race pride. Some others borrow the paper and avoid paying for it. They do it as a matter of false economy, which enables them to profit at some body else's expense. They sacrifice their own self respect however and that of their friends and are poorer in the end as a result of practice. WHITE CONGREGATION BACKS SEXTON. A peculiar condition exists in the Southland and at times it manifests itself in a way that gives encouragement to every colored man, woman and child in the country. It seems that a police officer unjustifiably clubbed and beat up a respected sexton of a white church. When the case was called in the Mayor's Court, these white folks male and female came forward and testified to the sterling qualities of the colored man. The result was that the Police Officer was heavily fined, while the colored man was fined $2.50. The other policemen paid their broth or officer a fine and then threatened to resign. The Mayor who is one of the finest type of the southern gentleman and unlike those of the compromising kind has "kept the saddle" and declined to compromise in any manner a decision that he believes to be in accordance with his sworn obligation and the principles of eternal justice. With a church, made and female backing him, with the law on his side and with the better class of colored people unanimously supporting him, it looks to us that the outlook for Mayor Wooding and his associates is especially encouraging. --- BAPTISTS TO GET TOGETHER. The warring factions of the National Baptist Convention have at last agreed to come together, subject though to the ratification by the two respective organizations that they represent. The white Southern Baptist Convention seems to have been the active and potential means for accomplishing this result. President E. C. Morris seems to have met the warring elements more than halfway and the sturdy Secretary R. H. Boyd was forward in accepting the olive branch extended. The suit, in situated at Nashville by the National Baptist Convention in order to obtain the restoration of the publishing house to the incorporated body is to be dismissed. This wholesale expenditure of money, which hardly subserved but one purpose, that of feeling the lawyers, and the courts without getting very far in either direction is to be stopped. Rev. Dr. R. C. Judkins of New Jersey is jubilant over the result. Rev. Dr. W. H. Moses of Philadelphia is as far in the lead now in promoting peace as he has been in advocating war as the most direct route to securing peace. We hope that both sides will continue in their present attitude and that the union of the two contending bodies will be consummated at the earliest possible moment. Unbridled passions always lead to the sacrifice of vital interests and carry the possessors in the opposite direction from the haven of peace. "THE WORLD WAR." It is difficult to determine the political trend of the country now from the election returns as being announced. It is regarded as an act of disloyalty not to support the present administration and politics play but little part in the equation.

The government of the United States is deterred to see this war through to a successful conclusion. It looked at one time that a dead-lock had been reached and that neither side would emerge the victor. Now all is changed. Germany and her allies realize that the decision must be one way or the other and that France and England must be absolutely defeated before the United States can become an effective force or Berlin may hear the booming of hostile guns and the Baltic Sea may become the grave yard of the Kaiser's fleet. For this reason, that "marvel of military strategy" Commander-in-Chief Von Hindenburg and his chief of Staff, General Ludendorff have decided to stake all upon the invasion of France and the threatened invasion of England while Gen. Mackenzie tries conclusions in Italy and Sweden. If the men marshaled for the fray, can hold out long enough serious results will follow. The decision to brigade the American forces with the armies of France and England will eliminate General Pershing as a commanding figure in the great battle that is to follow. It is an admission of the inability to send an army worthy of the name to participate in this fateful contest. Two or three months will settle the question one way or the other. If settled, it means that Germany will be the dominating power in the affairs of the world. If not settled, it means that a slow stage of throttling will eliminate the German menace, with the resources of the United States of America pitted against those of the Germanic Allies. The world is weary of war, but proud as are the Anglo-Saxons, they will die a living death along with a determination to suffer extermination rather than submit to the surrender of those great principles which have been enunciated by the Chief Executive of this nation and which have come the basic platform of all of the other nations with whom we are in alliance in this record-breaking contest.

THE GERMANS BEGIN THE SECOND GREAT OFFENSIVE Allies Fight Stubbornly-Two Towns Captured by Teutons--The British, French and Americans Fighting Together--Exact Heavy Toll From Invaders. German troops numbering well over 100,000 delivered a terrific attack yet yesterday against the French along a front of nearly nine miles from Grivecates to north of the AmiensRoye road. They were met with a storm of fire from the French guns, and although the assaults were repeated time after time, they succeeded in gaining only a small section of ground. The French retained Grivesnes, but the Germans occupied the villages of Maillly, Raineval and Morisel. The announcement by the War Office in Paris last night of this new offence also says that by a powerful counterattack the French made progress at this point. BITTER FIGHTING RESUMED ON WESTERN EDGE OF SALIENT After several days of comparative inactivity along the battle front in Picardy, bitter fighting has been resumed along the western sector of the salient in the lines of the entente allies. Attacks by the Germans against the British and French are admitted to have yielded some gains to the in vaders in the critical sectors just to the east of the city of Amiens. The fighting according to latest reports has been heaviest in the neighborhood of Hamel, where the British were forced back slightly, and in the triangle formed by the Rivers Lace and Avre farther to the south where the French were forced to give ground. GORMANS BRING UP GUNS AND RE-ENFORCEMENTS. Nothing is known as to the details of the battles in these sectors but the fact that the Germans have been in a degree successful would seem to indicate that they have succeeded in bringing up some of their heavy cannon and new divisions with which to continue their attempts to capture Amiens. The British since retaking Ayette, south of Arras, have not resumed their offensive operations so far as reported by London, but the German official statement says that four attacks by the entente forces against the heights southwest of Morueil were related with heavy losses. There are no reports of fighting except outpost encounters, along the French lines on the Oso River. --- AMERICANS OCCUPY SECTOR ON MEUSE HEIGHTS American forces now are occupying a sector on the Meuse heights south of Verdun. This announcement was released for publication last night simultaneously with a statement that the enemy raided one of the American listening posts in this sector after o heavy bombardment. The enemy first vigorously bombarded the American first line and communication trenches, zigzagging up the hillside and then sent over a raiding party which swarmed about the listening post. STRONG FIRE HALTS PROGRESS OF ENEMY Further progress of the enemy was halted by a strong fire from the American first and second lines and as a consequence the enemy can hardly claim success. Because of the topography of the Mouse heights region, there has been little severe fighting there for many months, and the opposing forces took advantage of the inactivity to construct fine dugouts many of them being lighted by electricity. Each side enjoys the advantage of excellent observation posts, and shells echo among the surrounding hills, which are covered with spring flowers. The other American sectors were reported quiet yesterday. The Germans sent in a few shells in the sector northwest of Toul, but the enemy airplanes were fairly active in patrolling. HEAVY BOMBARDMENT OF BRITISH POSITIONS. There have been heavy artillery bombardments of British positions on the Menin road and at Passchendale east and northeast of Ypres according to London. As yet however there is nothing to foreshadow an effort by the Germans to attack there. Confronting them are two well fortified lines and high ground held by the British and it is improbable that a serious attempt to break through will be made in that sector. On the French front before Rheims and Verdun raiding operations have been carried out by the French which have been successful. The French report very heavy artillery engagements north of Montdidieu, a sector which has witnessed savage fighting, and where the Germans have been foiled in their efforts to advance toward the Paris-Amiens railroad. Nothing has been reported from the Italian front, and it is not likely that an attack has been launched there by the Austrians who have gath ered an enormous army for a possible drive southward into the plains of Northern Italy. ARMENIANS RECAPTURE ERZERUM FROM TURKS. Driven to take measures for their defense the Armenians have organize ed an army and have recaptured Erzee rum from the Turks, as well as other points in the neighborhood of that city. The landing of German troops in Finland is apparently going forward reports stating that 40,000 men have arrived at Hango a fortified port on the extreme western tip of the Finnish peninsula. There has so far been no official reply to the "peace kite" sent up by Count Czernin the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister Newspaper comment, which may be considered as showing the trend of opinion in entente allied chancelleries is unanimous in rejecting the idea of peace under the conditions, and it is probable that they forecast the replies which will be enunciated by government spokesmen in allied countries. DRIVE FOR LIBERTY. National Organizer Whaley Issues Appeal to Colored America in Be half of Great Colored Liberty Congress to be Held Soon at Nation's Capital. To Colored Americans of the U. S. A.,—Last June the 13th the Colored National Liberty Conference of Boston was formed and among the officers elected I was chosen Grand National Organizer. This organization is the outcome of deliberate and profound consideration of educated, farseeing practical and unselfish race patriots. Delegates from every section of the country composed this conference of one day's session that closed with a memorable public meeting in Faneuil hall, Cradle of Liberty Boston, Mass. The unique object of this conference is to launch a mighty movement to get and secure for Afro-Americans their share of the World Democracy. Brother Americans our country has gone into this world war with Democracy and Liberty for all mankind as her slogan, while fifteen million Afro-Americans are brutally and horribly oppressed. "Shall we the native and "to the manor born" Americans stand for this? In the name of the "Declaration of Independence" I appeal to you all to join with our Nat. Conference in their great movement to hold a great Liberty Congress in Washington, D. C., the last week in May 1918 to procure and secure for ourselves and our descendants that Liberty promised by the American Declaration of Independence guaran teed by the U. S. Constitution and ordained by the God of Nature. This is a now unique spontaneous and necessary movement to accom plish a vital and immoral purpose, our Liberty and Equality of Rights. NO CONFLICT WITH ANY ORGANIZATION. We are not forming any new organization but are asking all lovers of justice to combine for one final stroke for all our rights that will echo and reverberate throughout the world. For Liberty and Justice for all, ALLEN W. WHALEY MAN FATALLY HURT AT THE LOCOMOTIVE WORKS. Body Will Be Shipped to His Home for Interment. April 4, 1918.—John Heubi of 700 Virginia Avenue, Barton Heights, died in Grace Hospital at 6:15 o'clock last night as a result of injuries sustained in the morning at the American Locomotive Works. Mr. Heubi was foreman of the painting department and was crushed between a prop which was being used in a hoisting operation and a locomotive tender which was being hoisted.

THE RICHMOND MINISTERS' AND THEIR WEEKLY CONFERENCE Richmond Ministers' Conference needs to feel proud of its members, who are working in the rural districts. In many cases you don't know that you are not in the city when you go to some of these pastorates. As reporter for the Conference I was almost shocked out of my wits on last Wednesday night when a great big auto rolled up at my door and one called out to me, 'Are you ready? Come.' And behold it was a car, not a machine, which the good people of The Good Hope Well Baptist Church had given their pastor, Rev. J. E. Fountain, B. Th. This Church is located on one of Richmond's finest driveways, not more than twenty m'nutes drive in a car from the heart of our city. When you approach the Church and note its surroundings it will make you think that you are approaching some Roman structure, with a beautiful iron fence around it and concrete walkways leading to each door and with lawns in artistic style, an oil lamp to light you in and out, by night. This building itself is now with modern improvement. It is just wonderful to note the progress this Church has made under this excellent gospel preacher and pastor. The people are proud of him and they are showing their love by helping him in his storeroom, by clothing him and paying him, and giving him an automobile. May God continue His blessings on the rural Churches and their pastors. Four brethren were ordained to the diaconate. This Church is alive to the interest of Foregn Missions and Education. The Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Convention will hear from his th's year. I am told that Rev. Ed, Jeffries, pastor of First Union Baptist Church, Chesterfield County, hold a rousing good meeting for the Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Convention, which will convene at Rocky Mount, N. C. Dr. William H. Stokes, Editor of the Lott Carey Herald, was with him and lectured to a crowded house. Rev. J. J. Woodson, pastor of the Providence Baptist Church conducted a baby show contest and as a result collected more than sixty dollars for Church Missions and Educational work. The meeting at the First Baptist Church last Sunday celled all others for Missions in the history of this Church. The final report showed that between eight and nine hundred dollars were raised for Missions alone. It is now evident that this Church will lead the Churches in Richmond and the State in their contribution for, not only Missions but Education as well. Hallelujah for Dr. W. T. Johnson.

A BROKEN BRAKE SENDS CAR HEADLONG DOWN STREET. Two Women are Injured. Miss Naomi Dresser and Mrs. William W. Weber, While Crossing Track, Struck and Are Hurled Fifty Fees, Fourteenth Street, Sustaining Injuries That May Be Fatal—Miss Ethel Stroud Faints. Traveling at a high rate of speed and beyond the control of the motorman, an eastbound car of the Oak wood and Broad line struck and possibly fatally injured two women at Fourteenth and Main Streets at 6:40 A. M. today. Another woman fatalled from fright and the lives of numerous pedestrians were imperiled. They were taken to Grace hospital. It was thought) oth had suffered a fracture of the skull and internal in juries. Their condition was pronounced serious. Miss Ethel Stroud, 3404 Hull St., who was crossing Main street in the company of Miss Dressler and Mrs. Wolfer fainted when she wrested the accident to her companions. She was revived and taken to her home in a private automobile. BRAKE ROD BROKE. The car, well filled with passengers on their way to work, was in charge of Motorman M. O. Ageo and Conductor C. D. McRae. At Twelfth, and Main streets the brake rod broke and the car immediately got beyond the motorman's control. There is a sharp decline in Main street at this point and the car gathered momentum rapidly as it continued down the hill. The fact that a mishap to the brake had occurred became apparent almost immediately among the passengers, and there was considerable excitement. Any of them who might have yielded to an impulse to leap from the runaway car were prevent ed from doing so by the crew, who did their best to reassure the passengers, telling them the car would stop before it had gone far. No one jumped and none of the passengers suffered any injury. Realizing that he was helpless to control his car for the time being, Motorman Agee did the next best thing, according to witnesses. He kept up a continuous changing of the boat and caned out of the vestibule window shouting to pedestrians and drivers to keep out of the path of the car. 'Miss Dressler and Mrs. Weber, to together with Miss Stroud and Miss Tillie Lahmon, 2014 Hull street, had just alighted from a Hull street car with the intention of transferring to a west-bound car on the Main street line. They were crossing Main street from the southeast corner to the north side when the car struck the two first named. Miss Lahmon got clear of the runaway car and was not hurt. HURLED FIFTY FEET. According to Policeman G. W. Shi nault, who was on the northeast corn mer of Fourteenth and main streets, both of the injured women were hurled more than fifty feet when struck. They were unconscious when picked up and did not regain conscious ness after being removed to the hospital in an ambulance. The injured women the police said, were employed at the British-American tobacco factory. The motorman of a Hull street car, which had started to round the curve into Main street, saw the approaching runaway car in the nick of time, it was said. Quickly reversing his car he backed it out of the path of the ornishing Oakwood and Broad car. His missed being caught in the path of the runaway by a matter of inches it was said. The runaway car, one of the two motor type, brought itself to a stand still, after running a short distance beyond Fourteenth and Main streets. The accident attracted a large crowd.

Try a one cent Christmas Savings Club card. It will enable you to have $12.75 Christmas. Put this amount in Bank and get a bank-book. The next year try a two cent card and you will have $25.50. This makes $38.25 the next year, without including the interest. Put this amount on the bank-book and you will find that the child or even a grown person for that matter will have saved as much as $100.00' in a short time. With one hundred dollars, the child or grown person will be in a position to do business. With this amount a house and lot of frame construction can be purchased up to $1,000, leaving a balance of $900, which can be carried with long time notes and the rental with the savings kept up will in ten years time make you the sole owner of the property. The great point will have been gained. The child or the grown person will have acquired the saving habit and this habit is essential to financial success. President, Mechanics Savings Bank.
