THE RICHMOND PLANET. Virginia State Library. VOLUME XXXV. NO. 33 REWED FULL USE OF GOVERNMENT PASS TO JEWY DOWT Mr. Shillady referred to the case of First Lieutenant Trabbit, who on Match 2, while traveling under similar circumstances upon Fullman transportation furnished by the government was taken from a Fullman coach at Chickasha, Oklahoma, arrested, and fined five dollars and posts, approximately twenty-five dollars in all, without redress. "The Association at that time," said Mr. Shillady, "addressed an inquiry to the War Department which was acknowledged during Secretary Baker's absence in France, with the explanation that the matter had been referred to the Judge Advocate General of the Army. No further action so far as the Association knows, has been taken in the matter by the War Department." Following is the Association's letter concerning the case of Private Jones: Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, Wa. bington, D.C. Sir, the St. Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People advises us at on Wednesday, June 19, S. P. Jones of St. Louis, colored, who voluntarily enlisted as a private in the United States Army, white travel on train and Pullman transportation furnished by the government, and on government order to proceed to Camp Cody, Dennis, New Mexico, was ordered out of a Pullman car by the train conductor at Texarkana. The train conductor having declined to honor the United States government Pullman transportation, Private Jones left the train at Marshall, Texas. This incident seems to be a pariment for decision whether the Department will insist that enlisted men traveling under government orders shall be accorded the kind of service authorized by the government and provided for by the transportation furnished, to wit, service without discrimination in Pullman cars when Pullman service is authorized and provided by the Department. The uniform of the United States at such a time as this should protect any citizen from indictment. Can the government of the United States consent to invidious distinctions between her soldiers, all alike, whether white or black, offering themselves in the service of their country. In the name of the 117 active branches of this Association with a present membership of 25,000, and in that of the many more thousands of loyal colored Americans, we ask your sympathetic consideration of the problem presented by the case of Private Jones which is typical of the treatment either accorded or likely to be accorded to hundred, if not thousands, of his fellow American soldiers. --- Jr. Epworth League Commencement The commencement exercises of the Junior Epworth League of the Leigh Street Memorial M.

Washington. June 22. — Secretary of War Baker will tolerate no discrimination between white and colored men in the administration of the selective draft. When reports were brought to his attention to-day to the effect that such discrimination had occurred, he said: "I have heard that draft boards in admitting counties take a different view of practically identical men with regard to white men, but I never board of the question being brought up with regard to colored men; but the answer in all of these cases is that a review is provided directly by the President, and all that is necessary for anybody to do what thirteen there is a relevance is to point it out to the War Department and it will be investigated. If the draft boards not unfairly we will correct their action. "The War Department will break so discrimination, and any cases of alleged or suspected discrimination brought to our petition will be investigated, and any wrong done will be righted."

THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXV, NO. 33 DENIED FULL USE OF GOVERNMENT PASS TO ARMY POST New York, June 22.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Secretary John R. Shilladay, of New York, makes public a letter addressed to the Secretary of War in which the Association asks for a ruling on the attitude of the War Department in the case of a colored private, S. P. Jones, of St. Louis who while on his way to Camp Cody, Deining, New York, provided in the transportation furnished by the government, was ordered cut of a Pullman car by the train conductor at Texarkana, on the border between Texas and Arkansas. The Association's letter says in part, "This incident seems to put squarely up to the War Department for decision whether the Department will insist that enlisted men traveling under government orders shall be acceded the kind of service authorized by the government and by the war department, to which service without discrimination in Pullman cars when Pullman service is authorized and provided by the department." In a statement concerning this case Mr. Shillady said that the case itself involved the question of whether the government was going to allow its soldiers, because they were colored to be denied Pullman accommodations even hours before the war, paid for such accommodations, merely because prejudiced elements in the case were disinclined to allow colored people to sit in the same coaches with them. Mr. Shillady referred to the case of First Lieutenant Tribbet, who on March 2, while traveling under similar circumstances upon Pullman transportation furnished by the government was taken from a Pullman costume, Oklahoma, arrested, and fined five dollars and costs, approximately twenty-five dollars in all, without redress. "The Association at that time," said Mr. Shillady, "addressed an inquiry to the War Department which was acknowledged during Secretary Baker's absence in France, with the explanation that the matter had been referred to the Judge Advocate General of the Army. No further action so far as the Association knows, has been taken in the matter by the War Department." Following is the Association's letter concerning the case of Private Jones: June 21 1918. Hon, Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, Washington D.C. Sir.—The St. Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People advises us that on Wednesday, June 19, S. P. Jones of St. Louis, colored, who voluntarily enlisted as a private in the United States Army, while traveling to Texas, was furnished by the government, and on government order to proceed to Camp Cody, Dening, New Mexico, was ordered out of a Pullman car by the train conductor at Texarkana. The train conductor having declined to honor the United States government Pullman transportation, was ordered to return to Texas. This incident seems to us generally up to the War Department for decision whether the Department will insist that enlisted men traveling under government orders shall be accorded the kind of service authorized by the government and provided for by the transportation department out discrimination in Pullman cars when Pullman service is authorized and provided by the Department. The uniform of the United States at such a time as this should protect any citizen from indignity.

Washington, June 22.—Secretary of War Baker will tolerate no discrimination between white and colored men in the administration of the selective draft. When reports were brought to his attention to-day to the effect that such discrimination hindered his job, he heard that draft boards in adjoining counties take a different view of practically identical facts with regard to white men, but I never heard of the question being brought up with regard to colored men; but the answer in all of these cases is present, is provided directly by the President, and all that is necessary for anybody to do what there is a grievance is to point it out to the War Department and it will be investigated. If the draft boards act unfunfully we will correct their action. "The War Department will abuse discrimination, and any cases of allegation or suspected discrimination brought to our attention will be investigated, and any wrong done will be righted."

Many Policemen Violated Prohibition Laws and are Indicted. Heading the list of offenders are the names of Chief of Police C. A. Sherry, Captain George E. Pollock, purchasing agent for the Police Department; Detective Sergent L. C. Berauel and Bicycle Policeman C. A. Strain waoom, the grand jury recommended be dismissed from the police force. Described as being the leader of the denizens of the underworld in that he had gathered around him a desperate coterie of offenders and coached young men to "take a short cut to a fortune or the penitentiary H. L. Price alias Lewis Rogers, alias H. McGuire has seven indictments returned against him. One of these indictments charge him with a felony while the remaining six are true bills for misdemeanors. Members of the Police Department and private citizens who are indicted for violations of the prohibition law are: Former Policeman F. S. Walter Policeman I. G. Cousins; Policeman Joseph H. Ridgeway; M. S. Angle, special detective for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway; Policeman J. W. King; Former Policeman F. I. Hankey, Policeman F. S. Bosquett; Policeman P. A. Belton; Former Police C. H. Deskins and W. H. Bunton. LENAHAN BLAMED FOR MUTILATION OF EVIDENCE In reporting upon the mutilation of the Lenahan evidence which was intrusted to the care of Walter Christian, clerk of the Hustings Court, the Grand Jury arrived at the conclusion that this evidence to which only Walter Christian and William Breeden had lawful access had been out of their custody for several hours and that the handwriting on the multitied evidence "was that of P. J. Lena han." Furthermore the grand jury recommended that since Ben Jacobs who all during the investigation has been a faithful and invaluable aid and since he had promised to reform that Governor Davis be requested to remove the jail sentence which he is now facing as a result of having been convicted for a violation of the prohibition law. In returning its report the members of the grand jury did not show any leniency to the present Chief of Police. Chief Sherry was appointed Chief of police directly upon removal of form e chief of Police J. R. B. Sowell who was removed from office by Mayor Alsieh on May 23 for "grave indiscretion and infirmity of judgment face to one occupying the high office to Chief of Police." One of the outstanding recommendations of the grand jury was that the frequent postponements of trials in the courts of this city should be stopped. The jurors did not hesitate to say that these postponements militated against the efficiency of the Police Department and the probability of securing convictions of violators of the law. Moreover the report urged the imposition of jail sentences lest the gravity of their offense may be taken as trifling by violators of the law. MORALITY OF CITY IS AT LOW ERB. Asserting that from the testimony before the jury the morality of the city is at a low cib the jury directly accused the present chief of having been in part at least the cause of this state of affairs. According to the members "the record of C. A. Sherry as captain of that district and his as sociations did not justify nor warrant his promotion to the office of chief. A large majority of the illegal houses known to exist are located in the First District. It is the opinion of the grand jury that had he displayed white captain the proper energy in the performance of his duties present conditions would not exist. "It is in evidence that, Sherry while captain of the First District sent an officer to advise the proprietors of a certain place that they had been reported as having luor and that the place would be searched. His order was obeyed the search was made lat or but no liquor was found." The jury further recommended that since the removal of J. J. R. B. Sowell was absolutely unwarranted and with out foundation he be reinstated to his former position of captain. The report urged placing drivers of fittings and "for hire" cars under heavy bonds in order to insure honesty and compliance with the law and morals of the community. An assistant for the Commonwealth's Attorney was an urgent reminder by the jury. In reading the report Foreman Arthur B. Clarke emphasized that this reception was made without the knowledge of Commonwealth's Attorney Wise. WOULD INTERN ALL DISSEASED WOMEN If the operation of policy and other gambling cannot be prevented under the present laws new laws should be passed by the General Assembly was the emphatic reminder of the Jury. The inquisitors furthermore recommended that the United States government be appealed to to intern all venually diseased women as "dangerous alien enemies." Finally the Jury reminded Mayor Ainslie that he need not confine him self to the narrow confines of the police force in the selection of a fit person as head of the Police Department. The Jury emphasized the need of an educated and forceful and capable man for this position. When Foreman Clarke concluded the reading of the report Judge D. O. Richardson directed Clerk Walter Christian to issue capuses for all the men indicted. In addition he directed Clerk Christian to communicate with Mayor Ainslie and inform him of the indictments and recommendations made by the grand jury in order that the men indicted and recommended so be dismissed might be suspended by Mayor Ainslie. Finally, in behalf of the court and the Commonwealth of Va., Judge Richardson thanked the members of the jury for their arduous labor for these many weeks. With his personal thanks, he dismissed the jury. MAYOR AINSLIE DECLINES TO COMMENT ON THE REPORT. When questioned last night as to what action he would take in light of the report of the special grand jury Mayor Alnistie declined to make any statement on the ground that he had not read the report closely or given the recommendations mature consid eration. When pressed for his decision as to the status of the members of the Police Department indicted by the grand jury and those recommended for dismissal he said: "Of course the men indicted will be suspended. As for the men reom mended for dismissal I have not yet arrived at any conclusion. I do not know whether the recommendations mean the institution of usor proceedings or not. I have nothing to say until I confer with Judge Richard son in the morning." Commissioner of Prohibition J. Shipney Peters said last night that he did not think it necessary not expedient for him to make a statement. Said Dr. Peters: "I have no comment to make, however, I do think that the grand jury has done insufficient work and is entitled to 19-20 articles of all the citizens." CHIEF SHERRY WILL FIGHT "UNTIL" H—L FREIZES OVER Chief of Police Sherry in a tense and red-hot denial made clear his position. Chief Sherry was reached over the telephone at his home and said: "Every charge against me is false. I am not guilty of a thing, and will fight it out to a finish—until h—freezes over to skating ice." Commonwealth's Attorney Wise made it plain that he did not intend to shirk his duty in the slightest how ever disagreeable it might prove. "I will proceed if necessary and incident al to my office in all matters to a finish. I will do my full duty," he said. Captain George E. Pollock secretary and purchasing agent for the Police Department although reticent at first consented to make a statement making his position clear. "I have no criticism to make of the action of the grand jury. For sixteen years I have occupied my present re sponsible position and during that time more than $3,000,000 has passed through my hands. I have always en deavoured to do my duty efficiently and promptly and am ready to face any charge at any time by any man before any tribunal." SOWELL'S FRIENDS REGARD REPOKT AS HIS VINDICATION Foreign Chief of Police J. R. B. Sowell reiterated his former statements and emphasized the position taken by him as Chief of Police. "I look at matters as I did formerly. I have nothing to say." However it is known that his numerous friends are jubilant over what they claim to be a complete vindication. At present there is much discussion as to the status of the men re commended by the grand jury for his missal. There is a dispute as to whether or the report of the grand jury in these cases was meant to be the beginning of suits of ouster proceedings or merely as advice for the guidance of the Mayor. In the event that these re commendations take the form of ouster proceedings well informed people assert that it is logical that these men will be suspended until they either prove their innocence or are found guilty in court. If these recommendations are merely intended as advice to the Mayor for his conduct of the Police Department of which he is the official head it remains to be seen to what extent he will be guided by the grand jury's advice. As yet Mayor Ainslie has given no indication of his probable action. ALREADY TALKING OF SELECTION OF NEW CHIEF. Assuming that a new Chief of Police will be appointed speculation is rife as to the possible appointee. Among the names mentioned is that of F. C. Bailey (formerly detective sergeant), and now connected with the United States Department of Justice. Several prominent men have indorsed Bailey as the logical man for this position, and will lay his name before the May or for consideration. When asked in regard to this matter last night, Mr.- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Balloy declined to make any statement. He was on the police force for more than twenty six years. Among the other men who have been suggested for promotion are Sergueants J. W. Whitlock and R. B. Jordan. In regard to the men recommended by the grand jury for dismissal from the force it is known that they in tend to contest any attempt at re move. Definite steps have already been taken to line up their defense. Several have stated that they are ready to face all charges and have no fear of the outcome. As to the men indicted it could not be learned last night what action had been taken. Judge Richardson immediately after the reading of the report directed that a capitas be issued for all the men indicted and the majority have already been arrested. Dances for their trials will be set by the Hustings Court shortly. A well grounded report has it that the civic conditions committee of the Ministerial Union now that the grand jury has made its report is planning some action against Mayor Atuslie. However nothing positive could be learned as the committee met in executive session and is working under a well fixed policy of reticence. Be cause of the very care which they are taking in preventing any leak of their conferences much constant has been excited in official circles as to the probable steps to be taken by this committee. GRAND JURY'S REPORT IS IN SCATTLING TERMS. In connection with its signed report the grand jury yesterday afternoon rendered its decision in regard to the mutilation of the Lenahan evidence and directly accused P. J. Lenahan of having insected the handwriting in the evidence which had been out of the custody of the clerk of the court for some time. The statement was that after investigating the matter thoroughly the members were of the opinion that the "new writing" in the calendar book was in the hand writing of P. J. Lenahan. In another appendix to the report the grand jury recommended that the Governor be petitioned to remit the fall sentence which had been imposed a Ben Jacobs who was recently convicted in the Hustings Court for a violation of the prohibition law. The members said that Jacobs had been of invaluable service to them and in view of his promise to reform they thought that he should be given this chance. The full text of the grand jury's report follows: Hon. D. C. Richardson, Judge of the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond: Sir.—The special grand jury summoned by you to take under consideration matters concerning the efficientcy of the police force of this city, and certain other matters, begs to make report as follows: The grand jury met on Monday June 3, at 11 A. M. and after being sworn and charged took up at once the matters referred to them. They have met since almost daily and on some days have had morning and afternoon sesions till this the fourth week of their investigations. We now to say that in all matters herein or referred to we have acted in a purely impersonal manner, Mary—indeed, most—of the principals had witnesses were previously unknown to the members of the jury either by sight or name. Scores of witnesses have been examined. Some of them repeated mere rumors, others presented testimony which did not stand confirmation; from many we secured substantial evidence supported by sub sequent witnesses. FINDINGS ARE BASED ON SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE Our findings are based only on the last mentioned class of testimony. Numerous anonymous letters and phon messages were received. One usually throws such letters into a waste bin and turns a deaf car to such in formers. In this investigation however we have given due consideration to all such, but considered none as testimony. Anonymous letter writers, good citizens who wink at law violations and thin jurors are aiding and aborting these lawbreakers. There is no greater fallacy than to suppose or suspect that every police man is an evildoer. There are over 200 men on the force most of whom we believe are men good and true. The finger of accusation has been pointed at but few. Most of these cases have grown out of violations of laws regarding the transportation or selling of liquor, gambling and intoxication. REVIEWS HISTORY OF LIQUOR LEGISLATION The State of Virginia has from its earliest history, legislated on these subjects. The first General Assembly of Virginia( the first on this continent) convened at Jamestown in 1619 enacted laws and penalties on these matters. Such laws modified to suit the changing times have been in effect ever since. Under State authority the courts have always had the authority and power to grant or not to grant a license to sell liquor and to punish those who violate its mandates. The evils of the traffic in liquor were apparent more than 100 years ago and a movement was started to in fluence public opinion on the question. The war of 1861-5 caused a half in those endeavors but long since the subject was again taken up and public opinion asserted itself. In a series of years nearly every county of the State voted against the liquor license within its boundaries. At length the General Assembly of Virginia enacted a bill submitting the matter to the electorate of the State. The people themselves in their sovereign right voted in 1914 by a majority of over 30,000 to abolish the sale from the State to take effect November 1, 1916. The State in its sovereign capacity has spoken through the General Assembly and through the electorate. Its word is there shall be no more granting of license for the sale of liquor.

Spurred on by cheerful talk of their officers, these men created history by their defense of their mother land. The picture shows a regiment of these fighters returning to billots after a long stretch at the front. The image shows a group of people working in a field, possibly engaged in agricultural activities. They are surrounded by tall grasses and plants, indicating a rural setting. The building in the background has a sloped roof and large windows, suggesting it might be a farmhouse or a barn. The overall scene is peaceful and suggests a day of work or community activity. The big German drive has again driven families from their ruined homes on the battlefront. With the indomitable spirit that exemplifies the French people, these homeless refugees refused to leave their village until all hope of remaining there had vanished. What few belongings they had saved are piled into an old style wagon and with the help of the Pollis they are going to places of safety. MAN AND SHARK IN DEADLY COMBAT.

Honlyn, June 21.—Maul Aue a fisherman of Waihee who had been wading about in shallow water on the beach looking for opihi and the edible seaweed called imu, took it into his head to have a swim in the breakers. His waist was girded with the usual mato in which he according to old habit, had suck a short dirklike knife. When he was well beyond the reench and was about to turn and swim back to the beach the fin of a shark suddenly appeared some little distance away. The man cater steered straight for him and he knew it would be useless to try and swim away from the n.on star. He began to beat the water with his hands at the same time shouting at the top of his voice and making as much of a racket as he could in an endeavor to frighten the tiger of the deep away, but without effect. When only a few yards from its intended victim the shark threw itself on its back and its belly stone ghastly white through the waves. As the same instant the man dove deep down and the shark passed over him. He rose to the surface drew his knife and looked around. The shark was a little distance of bearing down upon him again. Once more the man made a dive for the bottom as the tassel shark turned belly up. As the man rose he slashed the back of the sea man so vividly with gae razorlike blade. When he again rose to the surface the water was crimson with blood. He saw no sign of the shark and began to congratulate himself upon his marrow escape when suddenly the monster appeared again and hunted itself through the water in a furious rage. Apo was almost exhausted from swimming and diving. Again the shark went through the same manoeuvre in a ferocious attack and again the man dove. Suddenly he felt a pain as if a coarse sandpaper was being drawn violently along his naked back taking the skin off. It was the body of the shark gliding over him. With a last violent effort he turned and drew his knife along the shark's back, ripping the flesh into ribbons. Rising to the surface once more he made a desperate dash for shore, swimming as he never swam before. He looked back over his shoulder every other second dreading to see the fin of the shark as it ploughed through the waves in hot pursuit. But only the white spray of the billows met his eyes. But not until he felt the bottom under his feet and sagging like a drunken man wad adhere to fall limp and faint on the beach did he feel himself safe from the cruel teeth of the shark.

The rate on newspaper postage has been raised and dead-head subscribers will be lowered to the "cut-off" list. The best thing to do is to speak up for the Government and do everything the Government tells you to do. Buy War Savings Stamps, Liberty Bonds and live on half rations. Editor W. Calvin Chase is not a banker, but he looks like one when he is dressed in that white suit. Father Time is carrying the son forward too fast and the father forward too slowly. The two could easily pass for brothers. One reading the food treatises as to what can be used for food and what cannot be, would be under the impression that food products are now being furnished everybody free of charge and the use of money for obtaining needed supplies had been discontinued. The same is true of coal. But then we are now in a real war. "Wonders will never cease." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as represented by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and the Booker T. Washington ideas as presented by Dr. R. R. Moton and Hon. Lenneth J. Scott, supplemented with the association of Hon. Harry C. Smith, "a free lance," so to speak and as unbridled in his thought and ideas as a Texas mustang, all meeting together and reaching a harmonious conclusion relative to affairs affecting the race and agreeing upon a joint statement, is one of the anomalies and surprises of present day happenings. The President of the United States is asking that prayers be offered for success of the Allies in this great war. When the nation gets in this frame of mind, then the colored folks can get their rights and privileges at the hands of the American people. When it comes to praying, there is no race of people on earth, who can beat this race of people. Colored folks believe in praying, big funerals, plenty to cat and a big time generally. Some of them though, are becoming wiser. The white folks, or rather the better class of them, have taught them some sense. THE AUSTRIAN REVERSE The Austrian reverse in Italy has been welcome news to the thousands of people in this country, who have been watching for a ray of hope in this dark cloud of German offensive. Many had begun to doubt that the tide would ever turn in favor of the Allies, but the swollen Piave River has done more than the legions of the great powers could accomplish in that particular section. It is now stated that the swollen stream has served as a protection to the retreating Austrians and has saved them from a disastrous defeat. They will come again. The situation in the mountainous portion of Italy where the Austrians and Germans are gathered in force is not understood here. It is known that the Teutonic Allies hope to turn the Italian flank by coming through from the North and sweeping South-ward in a rapid drive. Italy is being helped by France and Great Britain and soon Americans will be in the field. The out look on the Western front is somewhat puzzling. The German armies are near enough to Paris to cause uneasiness and it is expected that ere many weeks, the siege of Paris --- will have begun. The French have taken energetic measures to defend this remarkable city. The civilian population has practically been removed. A later announcement places it in the military zone of operations. The munition plants there have been either removed or duplicated in other parts of the Republic. Can Germany win this war? This is the all absorbing topic. With the U. S. A. eliminated, she has already won it. The doubtful thing in the equation is this country. Can we measure up to expectations? Can we furnish the men in sufficient numbers and can we supply the equipment for the men we send across the Atlantic? A few months will answer this question. If we can do it, the question can be answered in the affirmative. If we cannot do it, then the Prussian eagle will rule the world. German goods will come and go elsewhere and the wealth of the nations of the earth will go to enrich the great schemers and organizers of Berlin and other cities of the German Empire. We have been slow to awake to a full realization of the great task before us. We have been led gradually into the task of accomplishing great things and we are accomplishing them. Colored people are doing much to aid in this work and with the proper encouragement will do much more THE PARDONING POWER. President Woodrow Wilson has seen fit to accord to two white soldiers found asleep at their posts in France, an unconditional pardon, although they had been condemned to death by a court-martial. In a military sense, there is but one crime greater and that is the crime of communicating information to the enemy. Men conveying this information are called spies. We have been waiting and watching for a report as to what is to be done in the cases of the five colored troopers, under sentence of death for participation in the so-called Houston riots. About forty colored men have been punished and not a single white man. This seems to us to be a one-sided justice, which might be denominated one-sided injustice. Thirteen colored men have been executed, one of whom was not even at the scene of the alleged riot, President Woodrow Wilson would do even-handed justice in pardonings these men, just as he has done in the other cases. We shall trust him to this extent and we believe that one faith in him will not be in vain. All of this talk about the storied folks being angry because it was exported that they were being exposed to danger in France is nonsense. Colored folks have been angry because they thought too many of their number were being assigned to service battalions and not enough to units that were to see active service. They saw, or thought they saw, a plan to keep colored soldiers in the background and fancied they heard the slogan, "Pick-axe and shovel for the black soldier and rifle for the machine gun for the white one." Since there has been seen a disposition on the part of the War Department to deal out equal and exact justice, the colored folks are getting satisfied again. We have as much right to die as the white folks and we pause to remark that we have as much right to live as this same class of people. A PECULIAR POSITION. Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, is having a hard time of it in Washington. He is engaged in a thankless task, but he has the satisfaction of knowing that he shall reach Heaven when he dies. All complaints coming from colored folks are referred to him and he is supposed to investigate conditions and try and provide a remedy. Figuratively speaking, he has about ten thousand miles to go in these matters and he cheerfully announces that he is moving by inches. The War Department of every country is notorious for its "red tape" system. When direct action is wanted, it is necessary to apply in some other neighborhood. The only thing that we have been able to observe as being speedy is the court-martial department. There a man may be chargeable with an offense one day and be dead before the sun rises the next day. But Mr. Scott has a sunny disposition and is an optimist of the "first water." That benignant smile which he carries has been changed somewhat under the rigid exactions of necessity. Even his critics admit that he has done well in "keeping the saddle so long." Most of them would have "cussed out and quit" long ago, but he is constantly trying out new plans in order to be of some service to his country first and his people afterwards. "The Tuskegee Combine" has the confidence of the white folks of this country and the unselfishness of the aims and purposes of all concerned in this great institution is now recognized and appreciated from one end of the country to the other. $1.00 PANTS MADE TO MEASURE Not $1.00, not even 50c, not one cent more than 50c, not one cent more than 50c, not one cent more than 50c, no extra charge for family, avel styles, no extra charge for extra big, extreme pop-tops, peart buttons, tunnel or fancy belt loops, no extra charge for any thing, all FREE. Before you take another order, before you buy a suit or dress AN OFFICE-HOLDER AT LAST Few people know that Col. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Virginia, is an office-holder at last. Through the influence of prominent white Virginians, he occupies the position of Chief of the Negro Division of the Employment Bureau in the Department of Labor, at Washington. His familiar figure is soldom seen now on the streets of Richmond and the horse and buggy, sometimes facetiously called the "Giles Jackson charlot" is not seen about here any more. That horse knew and understood his master better than anybody else and no doubt is bemoaning the fact that he has been deserted by his friend of a life-time. Col. Jackson is receiving a satisfactory salary and his surroundings would be congenial to a younger man, but what are they worth to a man of Col. Jackson's tastes and habits? It reminds one of the doggerel. "Give me again my hollow tree. A crust of bread and liberty." Not that Col. Jackson is not a free man, but he is not as free as he would like to be. He is tied up in the red tape of officialdom. Just how long he can stand it is a question. It reminds one of the state of feeling of an old Southern family servant suddenly transplanted from a Virginia plantation to the narrow confines of New York or Boston. "I get all I want. Everything is pleasant here, but——I don't like it." Enough said. It may be that we have misrepresented Col. Jackson. We did not intend so to do and if we have, we apologize in advance. Selah. MT, O.

Oldest Methodist University Honors Colored Man for First Time With Conferred Degree. By Cleveland G., Allen New York N. Y. June 18 1918. The outstanding feature of the commencement exercises of Wesleyan University the oldest and most renowned Methodist institution in the country last week was the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon Dr. R. E. Jones the editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate and one of the foremost Negroes in the Methodist Church and the country. He is the first Negro to be honored by this university and the occasion easily took first place among the commencement festivities. The University confers degrees only upon instances where special achievements have been cited and the honor that has come to Dr. Jones is taken to mean a recognition of the high service that he has rendered in the Methodist Church and of the attitude of the general church towards his labors and efforts in this direction. President Shanklin in presenting the degree said that the university had presumed no degree where it was more merited and praised the service he had rendered to the church and to the race and said that the occasion would mark a new epoch in the history of the institution. Dr. Jones has long been regarded as one of the most eminent men of the connection and is well known throughout the country. As the editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate he has done much to give the attitude of the Negro communicants of the M. E. Church and his position has met with the general approval of the entire church. His editors on matters of church and state are uncompromising and in this direction he wields a powerful influence which makes him a force in the life of the race. He has been outspoken on many of the wrongs that has been heaped upon the Negro in this country and one of the strong measures that, he advocated was the forming of a Vigilance Committee that would look after the interest of the Negro at the Nation's Capitol. He is well known throughout the country as an mentor and lecturer and is a man of forceful and pleasing personality. His rise in the M. E. church has made him a conspicuous figure and he has long been regarded as one of the foremost of the general officers of the church. He has held many offices in the church and in each of them he has made fine records. He was born in North Carolina and is a graduate of the Bennet College at Greenboro, N. C. Degrees have been conferred upon him by Gammon Theo logical Seminary and Howard University. The new honor that has come to Dr. Jones is a new one for the race in which all may share with pride.

THE SPACE WAR SAVINGS DAY WILL BE SUCCESS June 28 Fixed As Date When All Virginiaans Who Stay At Home Will Have Definite Act Of Patriotism To Perform. The National War Savings Committee of Virginia is carrying on, through its county and city committees, its portion of the great nation-wide campaign to get all people on or before June 28 to pledge themselves to save to the utmost of their ability and to buy War Savings Stamps. The following statement has been issued by the National War Savings Committee at Washington: "Those of us who remain at home while others do the fighting have an over-increasing number of opportunities to do definite and highly important work for our country. We wish to do this work as an expression of the gratitude we feel in being privileged to continue at our usual tasks, to enjoy the loving companionship of our families, to meet freely with our friends and neighbors, to enjoy all the security of life and most of the pleasures and the economic privileges of peace times while other men, who have had to put aside all these things, are fighting our battles for us on the sacred soil of France and on the high seas. "Our new opportunity to serve comes as a result of designating June 28 as National War Savings Day, a day on which all men and women and all children of sufficient years to appreciate the day's significance are called upon to pledge themselves to save to the utmost of their ability and to conserve all possible labor and materials for the Government, and to buy War Savings Stamps with their savings. Our part is to do everything possible to make this day stand out among the great days of this period of the war. Duty le Clear. "Could any one of us be asked to do less than this? Could any one of us refuse to do so little a thing to win the war for the world's freedom, could anyone of us put aside this plea for saving while all Europe is crying out in its agony to be released from the clutches of the monster that is beofouling all its touches? Could we refuse so simple a thing and at the same time ask other men to give their lives that our own precious lives be spared and our firesides be kept safe from the terrors of the Hun?" "Our duty is clear, our privilege is great, our sacrifice is little, our work is important." "National War Savings Day is to be the great rallying day on which everyone in our country is expected to pledge himself or herself to save and economize. This saving and economizing will first of all leave in the markets a greater supply of labor and materials for the use of the Government with which to fight the war. And then the money savings of the individuals are to be invested in War Savings Stamps. "What the Government asks us to do is to pledge ourselves to buy at definite periods with our saving a specific amount of War Savings Stamps. The thing to be accomplished is to get subscriptions which will take care for the balance of the present year of the unsold portion of the $2,000,000,000 of War Savings Stamps authorized by the Congress to be sold during 1918. "When one stops to think of the matter, it is really a small thing to raise $2,000,000,000. In a country of more than 100,000,000 people. If everyone would do his share, it would be necessary for each person to subscribe to only $20 worth of stamps. "The duty of us at home is to see to it that the entire amount is subscribed. We must work to that end. We must add to our already great army of war savors. We must make more sacrifices ourselves and urge sacrifices upon others. National War Savings Day must be made the great success all of us hope for." Give up your luxuries that the Kaiser may be made to give up his ambitions. ——W. S. S.—— National War Savings Day is only one day; our men in the Army and Navy have their day every day. ——W. S. S.—— You may not be able to fight, but you can save and buy War Savings Stamps. W. S. 8. KOBERT E. CLAY ADDRESSES A LARGE AUDIENCE IN N. C. Honorable Robert E. Clay President of the Negro Business League of Bristol Tenn.; delivered one of his greatest est addresses on Industrial Education for Negroes to a large audience of both colored and white people in Western North Carolina last week. Mr. Clay was invited there to deliver an address to the 1918 graduating class of Crumpler Institute a school located in Ashe County near Crumpler N.C. which is destined to become an Institute for the teaching of industrial subjects to the Negro youths of that part of the State. To say the least the speech of Mr. Clay in this part of the country has made an impression which will be most lasting not only among the colored people but among the whites as well. It did much to cement the interests of both races in the battle for a higher education of the right kind and to create a friendly feeling between them. Mr. Clay's wife and Mrs. Clara Banks members of the Gleo Club of the League represented by Mr. Clay accompanied him and remained over for the entire commencement exercises which were rendered from the 25th to 28th inclusive. These ladies rendered some of the most excellent music ever witnessed by the people of this section of the country throughout the commencement week and on one occasion Mrs. Clay favored the commencement moment with favorite and most choice recitals from Dunbar. These ladies then went to Bowie N. C. where they spent a day or so with the family of Prof. E. G. Harris the Principal of the school but Mr. Clay was called back to Bristol on the day folowing his speech to attend urgent business. WHAT DID SHE DO?

No license exists in the State; the penalties are on the statute books. On these matters personal liberties do not exist and never did. It is the duty of all good citizens to uphold the law; it is the duty of all State officers to enforce an observation on all who resist. Believing the foundation of enforcement lies in an efficient and uncorrupted police force we have conducted our investigation more particularly along that line. That there are bad spots and lawless people in our city none will disguise; but the city should not be judged by them. Our city justly claims to exel in many things and we protest against the unenviable claim of exelling in wickedness and lawlessness Since the gathering of thousands of soldiers in a nearby county began a year ago, new problems in vice have appeared which require new methods of treatment. The jury has not felt incumbent on them to take up this matter in addition to the matters already before them. To purge the police force is the first step in the direction of better enforcement of law. RICE POINTED OUT AS CHIEF OF BOOTLEGGERS In defiance of law and order in a bad community a fow, wilful men we set themselves in array against British Envoy to France. The appointment of the Earl of Derby, former British Minister of War, as Ambassador on a special mission to France, is announced.

Chief amongst these we point to a man passing by the name of H. I., Price who owns or occupies a farm on the Nine mile Road a few miles northeast of the city. This man is said to be the same as Lewis Rogers alias H. Mectaire who was several years ago charged with the theft of many valuable trunks from railroad stations. He was tracked from place to place at length captured here tried in the Hustings Court convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to serve five and one half years in the pentiary. He served two years and six months and was paroled January 1909. This man whose criminal record is apparently known to all who know him at all has apparently gathered around him a circle of men mostly young men whom he is coaching to be criminals by teaching them how to go to other cities buy liquor and get by the police here. In his traffic he has even corrupted certain policemen who hilberto have borne good reputations. His example and successes have induced others to try his short cut to fortune or to the pentiary. This man we have indicted for felony, charged with biting off a part of the ear of another with whom he had a dispute over the division of liquor. We now indict him for transportation of liquor also. INDICTMENTS FOR MEMBERS OF THE POLICE FORCE We also indict F. S. Waller an of ficeer for aliding said Price In and transporting liquor. In his operations he used one of the automobiles owned BANKING The masses of the people do not understand banking, but many of the people are beginning to appreciate its benefits and its advantages. Those who are receiving their Vacation Club checks are praising "the bridge that carried them over safely." They are not waiting for Christmas, for in one sense, their Christmas is here now. This Vacation Club feature is not so popular as the Christmas Savings Club, but it is just as convenient. It stimulates the habit to save and for grown people is a God-sent blessing. Many of us are making "good" money now. Let us save some of it. To attempt to save all of it or too much of it will end in disgust and failure. Try and see just what you can do without and then proceed to do without it. The banks are overflowing with money. War stimulates all activities and this stimulation will last many years after the war. Then comes the dearth of money and hard times again. Begin saving today. JOHN MITCHELL, JR., President, Mechanics Savings Bank. --- THE RIGHMOND PLANET, RIGHMOND, VIRGINIA by the city. We are advised that he has disappeared from these parts. If not already done we recommend that he be dismissed from the force immediately. From evidence before the grand jury we recommend the dismissal from the force of Officers I. G. Cousins Joseph II. Ridgway and E. C. Kidd. They are also indicted for transporting liquor. HOUSE PAINTER and DECORATOR. ROOF PAINTING and ROOF REPAIRING A SPECIALTY. For transportation of liquor and aid ing in such we indict F. I. Hankie, until recently a member of the police force. First Class Service at Reasonable Rates. For repeated intoxication we recommend the dismissal from the force of Officer P. A. Belton. He is also indicated for offering for sale and selling liquor. We have an indictment against M. S. Angle commonly known as Monte Angle for aiding and abetting the transportation of liquor. POLICEMEN WHO ARE NOT FIT TO BE ON FORCE We recommend the dismissal from the police force of Officer C. A. Strain for conduct decriminal to the service and unbecoming an officer. In his sworn affidavit of the 29th of May, 1918 if true he convicts himself of accepting $100 for assisting in transporting liquor. His affidavit is not supported by the slightest testimony. If his affidavit is false he is not a fit man to be on the force and is liable to indictment for perjury. A For frequenting gambling houses and participating in gambling we recommend the removal of Officer L. C. Bertucci. We call the attention of the Police Benevolent Association to the evidence that Bertucci received a check for $100 last April for the return of a lost ring; one half of the amount under the rules should go to the association. If this amount has not been paid Bertucci should be required to do so. For accepting liquor as a reward for letting liquor pass we recommend the dismissal of Officers F. H. Bosquett and J. W. King. For habits of intemperance and conduct unbecoming an officer as revealed by the testimony we recommend the removal from office and the force of Captain George E. Pollock. The grand jury from the testimony before it is of the opinion that the morality of the city is at a low ebb. This condition is to a great degree due to the lack of efficiency in the first District. The record of C. A. put laggup then up until so late his associations did not justify nor warrant his promotion to the office of chief. A large majority of the illegal houses known to exist are located in the First District. It is the opinion of the grand jury that had he displayed while captain the proper energy in the performance of his duties present conditions would not exist.

LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER. Just to get everybody straight and stop the tears? (1) that some of the out of town girls might be shedding, I just want to say, that the report that "Little Willie" had joined the Navy is not true, neither has he been drafted—too young—and I'm so sorry, but being my mother's baby, she will not give her consent for me to go. A boy of such tender years, should have a mother's care at all times, but "Little Willie" is over flowing with patriotism and anxious for the fray and believes if the blues boys have a chance, they will play Old Glory on the gate-post to Berlin. Mr. L. B. Burge was greeted with a great surprise when he arrived home from Charleston, W. Va. last Tuesday night and found his home filled with many friends and his good wife in smiles to greet him and for a time he didn't know what it was all about, until his wife informed him it was his birthday. It was 11:30 P. M. when Mr. Burge arrived and at once everybody went down to the dining room and, Oh, Boy! such a table, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, pickles potato salad, deviled eggs, edam cheese, ham sandwiches, gold top, cigars and cigarettes Some menu, chu? Well, I should say so, and some jolly good bunch, too. Everybody enjoyed themselves as shown by the looks of Mrs. Burge's table when the boys got up. "Little Willie" was tastmaster and those present and responding were as follows: Z. B. Burge, brother of the host, here on a visit, Ding-it Hughes, W, D. Calloway, W. H. (Bass) Brooks Campbell Hale, W. O. Hickman, W. H. Hilton, R. B. Young, Dr. H. J. Moseley, Pete Johnson, Cy Pierce, Samuel Weston, Johnnie Powell, Deacon Weeks, L. Hurt, W. A. Pinkard and Little Willie. Mr. Burge made the closing remarks and said it wasn't anybody's business how old he was. You are all full now and that's all you wanted anyway, so I'll not tell you, but I hope some of you fellows will have a birthday sometime and pull off one of these stunts and ask me. Everybody said, Amen. Now let's see who's going to do it. After the supper the tug of war, in a big whist game started. Five tables were at it fast, but Strangler Mosely and Auto Hilton could not be stopped, they really beat everybody and as the early whistles began to blow old "Strangler" walked out in King street bragging about being the King Pin. Anyway we all had a great time, and for once, we stayed all night. Can't say what Ding-It told his wife, or the other married men told theirs but Mr. Burge would call his every hour that she might know he was there, and report, All's well. May you have 'many more such days, friend Burge and invite us again. Mrs. Burge was voted the Queen of Chefs by the guest present, as everything was A-1," Little Willie" hopes she will have a birthday soon, and ask him to that—some cats! "Little Willio" is still single, but he can't help it. Who will pray for me? Yours. LITTLE WILLIE Administrator's Notice. Having been appointed administrator of the estate of Jesse Scruggs no notice is hereby given to all persons who have claims against his estate to present the same mo at my office G13-A N. Second Street and anybody who may owe anything to the estate will likewise make payment to me. J. THOMAS HEWIN. Administrator THE RICHMOND PLANET (Continued from Seventh Page.) he is under the malign influence of promoters and proprietors of illegal gaming. It is in evidence that Sherry while captain of First District sent an officer to advise the proprietors of a certain place that they had been reported as having liquor; and that the place would be searched. His order was obeyed the search was made later but no liquor was found. RECOMMEND REMOVAL OF SHERRY FROM FORCE We recommend the removal of C. A. Sherry from the Police Department for the good of the service. George Amslie the Mayor of the city is the head of the city's affairs and under him are all the departments of the city government but more especially the Police Department of which he is the official head. In the conduct of his office his duties are serious and arduous. One of his duties being the appointment of the chief of police the physician and purchasing agent of the department and general supervision over the Police Department But the details and minute of that department can receive but little of his personal attention. The appointment of a chief is a matter of vital importance to the people of the city and carries with it a great responsibility. A few months ago the Mayor appointed Captain R. B. Sowell to the high office of chief. Sowell had a record of twenty eight years of service sufficiently good to warrant promotion coming up from a patrolman to a sergeant then to a capaney. The removal of Sowell for a comparatively slight indisposition is in the opinion of the grand jury drastic and unwarranted; an admonition would have been more appropriate. The Mayor again in the opinion of the grand jury grievously erred in the appointment of Sherry as Chief. MAYOR LACKS QUALITIES FOR PROPER HEAD OF POLICE In the opinion of the grand jury Mayor Ainslie has not shown discreet judgment in the management of the Police Department nor in the appointment of the present chief, Mayor Ainslie lacks those qualities which are requisite for the proper management of that department. This is a goodly city and is entitled to have a Chief of Police of quality and education a man above reproach and who can command the respect of the men in his department as well as all good citizens and at the same time be held in fear by violators of law. While highly desirable it is not objection that the chief shall be select ed from the force. The Police Department is at present divided into factions and is in a spir it of unrest and disrustfulness which greatly militates against its efficiency. A steady hand is needed at its head. In spite of these conditions much excellent work has been done by the force in apprehending violators of the law. CRITICIZES FREQUENT POSTPONEMENTS OF TRIALS In addition to the foregoing the grand jury recommends that the frequent postponement of trials shall cease. Such postponements militate against the efficiency of the police and lessen the probability of convictions of the violators of law. We recommend that jail sentences be not curtailed to the extent of making such sentences a trifling matter. We recommend that policemen under charges be not allowed to resign. We recommend that owners of jitneys and for hire cars be requested to give a substantial bond to operate their cars in lawful pursuits. In our protracted labors in the City Hall we have had daily opportunity of seeing the crowded condition of business in the Hustings Court and the heavy labors of the Commonwealth's Attorney. We recommend that an assistant be employed who may appear in the Police Court when desirable and to assist the Commonwealth's Attorney as he may direct. FAVOR RESTORATION OF SOWELL TO CAPTAINCY Having a long and good record on the police force we recommend that R. B. Sowell now on furough be retained on the force and restored to the position of captain. From the testimony of police officers either the law or the construing of the same fault as against policy and crap games. It is said that to secure conviction against policy it is necessary to find the policy writer actually writing and in crap games the game must be seen and both the money and dice captured. We recommend a broader construing of the laws and if necessary an appeal to the General Assembly to enact more effectual laws. We recommend that the General Assembly be petitioned to enact a provision of law so that Commonwealth's attorneys may attend sessions of grand jury investigations when so requested by the grand jury. The ordering of common women to vacate a house does not relieve the community of menace. We recom mend if within the law that they be driven from the State or halted. WOULD INTERN WOMEN FOR DURATION OF WAR Attention of officers of the law is directed to section 3912 of the code of Virginia requiring persons of not good fame to give security for their good behavior. Upon this law emphasis is is laid in the April number of the Bulletin of the Virginia State Board of Health. We recommend that the United States government be urged to intern for the duration of the war all ve- ncerally diseased women engaged in prostitution as enemies of the country. We must have clean men for right coussiness sake and sound men for lib city's sake. Having now performed the tasks asigned us to the best of our ability we beg that we be excused from futher service. NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST CONVENTION HOLDS GREAT SESSION GREAT GATHERING OF BAPSTESTS IN ASBURY PARK, X. J. The 45'h Annual Session, of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention passes into history. Dr. J. C. Jackson D. D. elected President over $1000.00 Raised, Dr. C. A. Ward of Boston who became Interem at the death of Dr. W. Bishop Johnson call taut great body to order a. 2 oclock Thursday June 13th 1918. The New England Convention has for 45 years mould d the continent and shaped the character of Negro Baptist in the North and has kept pene with all forward movements which concerned the Negroes. The Convention's stand on Nation al questions has become proverbial. As in the political world used to be, as goes New York so goes the United States. Just so is the New England Convention today. As goes the New England Convention so goes the country. Speaking from the Negro's view point. The late Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., L. L. D., the honored president of the New England Convention was one of the richest scholars of the race. He was a preacher, teacher, orator and author. It was largely through his efforts that the Convention was able to achieve the great things which it has done. As empires westward tend their way. Just so does all human life tend toward the grave. Hence Dr. John son lay down to rest and an Angel kissed him to accept. The news was flashed over the wires and the whole bottom was sorry and wept the brotherhood had lost a friend a brother; a companion and an executor of no mean ability. When conditions became normal and everyone was again at his post the question would naturally arise: Who will be elected to fill the vacantcy caused by the death of Dr. W. B. Johnson? In answer to this question First a man must be a man of caliber, acumen stamina and influence; the equal to or the superior of Dr. Johnson must be elected. To this question it is but fair to say that there are a great numb of men in this section who can comply to these requirements. Second a man must be elected who has been in this section long enough to know the Convention's wants. needs. A good number of men who have been members of the convention and would meet it annually but lived in the South or West until very recently could by no means be considered as presidential timber. Time rolled on with somewhat of an unrest until the convention met in Asbury Park, N. J., June 13, 1918. There was naturally a lull. A convention was assembling which was a sovereign body within itself composed of delegates who knew well the meaning of a body being its own sovereign to do a piece of work that would be the major act of it's existence (the electing of a president.) Never in all the world was there so much dependent upon the men who lead as is today. The convention proper had no fees to furnish or friends to reward. Hence the vote will be one to determine who is the most popular the most efficient and safest man to trust with the leadership of the Negro Baptist in the North. These are perilous times and men want no foolishness. The committee on nomination did not want Dr. J. C. Jackson as president and they resorted to some of the old conventional tricks. But the convention proper showed the committee that this was no time for packing committees; stamping or camouflage. After the Committee dealt at length trying to suppress, hold insensuse and reject the name of Dr. Jackson his name finally got before the convention from the floor. And like a Greek marathon his name swept the convention off its feet. There was ovation after ovation, a popular cord had been struck. The name which was held back by the committee, rejected cast aside like the stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner. Dr. Jackson was elected overwhelmingly. Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. The Philadelphia ministers conference and the Second Baptist church which he pastors all should be proud of this great man. The election only bespeaks his honor. When you remember that Dr. Jackson son was this laurel over the heads of such men as Dr. C. A. Ward of Boston; Dr. W. F. Graham of Philadelphia; Dr. A. C. Powell of New York Dr. W. W. Brown of New York. In such defeats there may not be any disgrace, but in such victories their certainly is some honor. Everyone may rest assure that un der J. C. Jackson the convention will continue the work so well begun and build wisely upon the foundation so well laid by the predecessors. To the casual observer it has been evident for sometime that Dr. J. C. Jackson is the most popular churchman in the North. He pastors the Great, Second Baptist Church, Nicecourt Philadelphia; is Vice President of the National Convention; he is Chairman of Negro Work of the Philadelphia Baptist Union (white) and wish he is a man whom the socalled small proach er can touch. He preaches this year the Annual sermon of the North Philadelphia Association (white) Truly the New England Convention made no mistake in its election. J. E. PHILPOT, 8538 North Smelley St. Phil Florence S. C. Notes (E. B. Webster.) FLORENCE, S. C., June 27,—Prof E. A. Chisholm, former principal of the Hungerford Industrial School, Eatenville, Fla. passed through the city recently enroute to Tarboro, N. C. to visit relatives. He founded the agricultural department of Paine College, Augusta, Ga. and is now Director of the same. He is a graduate of Hampton Institute, class of 1907 and 1910. Rev. H. P. Pressley, of Kingstree, S. C. attended the Women's Convention at Darlington recently. Mrs. Margrette Washington, of Clarendon county passed here enroute for New York to visit her mother, Mrs. R. Greene. Messrs. N. W. Kershaw, C. Render and J. L. Carter of the U. S. S. Madow oske are visiting Charleston, S. C. Mr. Will Johnson, of the 322m! Company at Camp Hill, Newport News, Va. has been honorably discharged on account of Rheumatism. He has returned to his home at Thomasville, Ga. The general services of Brother Willie Wilson took place at Trinity Baptist Church on Sunday at 5:30 P. M. He was a member of Joint Stock Lodge, No. 111 and that order turned out in full uniform to pay the last respect to the deceased. After devotional services of the order, Rev L. M. Kitt, of Columbia, S. C, read the 23rd Psalm and lined hymn No. 648. The pastor, Dr. C, T. Taylor said that for 25 or 30 years Brother Willie Wilson had been a member of the church, having been connected with the church during the pastorate of Rev E. R. Roberts, Rev Taylor used as a text, H Corinthians 6:14. The attention of the congregation was called to the fact that all of us are passing out one by one. The church was packed and they heard a great sermon. The pastor said he asked Brother Wilson a few days before his death how stands the case if he should be called to go. He said, "I am ready and just waiting." Miss Daisy D. Washington, teacher in the graded school at Chester, S. C. and Corresponding Secretary of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of South Carolina passed here enroute to Morrisstown, N. J. She said that at the recent session of the Convention at Darlington, $1,360.05 was raised. Mrs. T. E. Foster, Mrs. Alice Ellison, Mrs. M. M. Patterson, Ms. Georgia Murry and Mrs. C. E. Cook were delegates to the Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention at Darlington. They passed here enroute to their, home at Charleston and report a successful meeting at the Macedonia Baptist Church, Key, J. E. Kirkland, pastor. GENERAL PERSHING NAILS LIFE ABOUT COLORED SOLDIERS. Denies Propaganda Story That They Are Put At Most Dangerous Work. HAS FOUR BLACK REGIMENTS Three Have Had but Five Casualties and 22 Deaths From Disease. Washington, June 21.—Formal denial of reports circulated in this country, presumably by German agents, that Negro soldiers with the Amercan Expeditionary Forces get more dangerous work than the white troops was cabled to the War Department to day by General Porshing. The General's cablegram which was in reply to one of inquiry sent by Secretary Baker said: "The stories probably invented by German agents that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers that when wounded they are left on the ground to die without medical attention and etc; are absolutely false. "The following are the losses as reported up to June 18 in the four colred combat regiments now in France 369th Infantry—Died of wounds 3; died of disease 8; severely wounded 2 370th Infantry—Died of wounds none died of disease 3; severely wounded none. 371st Infantry—Died of wounds none; died of disease 3 severely wounded none. 3721th Infantry—Died of wounds none; died of disease 3 severely wounded none. EXCELLENT "These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops and that their physical condition is ex cellent. "A tour of inspection just complet ed among American Negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters show the compar atively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Their training is identical with that of oth er American troops serving with the French army the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. MONTH WITHOUT LOSSES. "Colored troops in trenches have been patiently fortunate as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of heretofore on the western front. "The exploits of two colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol killing and wounding several Germans and winning the Croix de Guerre by their gallantry has aroused a fine spirit of emulation throughout. The colored troops all of whom are looking for ward to more active service. "The only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused at the most dangerous positions and all are desirous of having more active service than has been permitted them thus far. I can not commend them highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." Jonesboro Lot Owners.
