RAGE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXV. NO. 44 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY SUPTEMBER 14, 1918 SECTORS HELD BY THE COLORED SOLDIERS IN FRANCE (Special to The Planet.) With the 372nd Infantry, S. P. 179, A. E. F. France, August 17. American newspapers are publishing daily of the great success of the Allied Armies in this present drive, and I am confident that the colored citizens of the U. S. A. are anxious to know what part of this great task their boys are doing and where they are situated. It is against the law of the A. E. F. for me, or any one else connected with said organization to tell the names of the different sectors held by any soldiers in France, as it would afford much valuable information to the enemy, but nevertheless I will endeavor to describe the important trenches and sectors held by Colored American Soldiers during this great drive. COLLORED SOLDIERS CAPTURE A NUMBER OF PRISONERS. The Colored Soldiers, including the Fifteenth New York Infantry, Eighth Illinois or 370th Infantry and the 372nd Resident Infantry, are holding some of the most important sectors in France, in which they have succeeded in capturing a number of prisoners and officers, including one Major. The 372nd President is now holding one of the greatest sectors in France, in which thousands of German soldiers have given their lives in a vain effort to capture. Our boys marched to this sector under a teer rifle shell fire, leaving some men but never wavering in their speed. Several times the enemy has attempted to wrest this sector from us, but have been unsuccessful in each attempt. GERMANS SMOTHERED BY FIRE AND KNIVES OF OUR BOYS Each time they attacked they received such a fusillade of machine gun fire, grounded, bobo knives, trench mortars and shell fire, that they will have to contend themselves with the knowledge that the sector is as impregnable as in the year of 1916. During this great drive in which the German hordes have suffered such a crushing defeat, it is very important to keep a constant watch on every inch of the front which they occupy. They remind me of what my teacher used to call (mischievous students) "eye servants." They must be watched at all times unceasingly and then if you are not extremely careful they will put one over on you. GERMANS SURPRISED AT VALOR OF ALL AMERICAN TROOPS. They seem to be mad at heart and sick in spirit at the success of the Allies, during the months of July and August, especially the battles which the American Forces have been so closely identified, first because they were so surprised at the presence of such hordes of Americans in France, second because of their presence in the front line trenches; and greater still of their valor and dash which they deemed impossible due to information regarding their untrained and incompetent rookies. I suppose they are thoroughly acquainted with Uncle Sam's fighting valor by now, because the Yanks have had them in constant retreat ever since they made their debut in Belleau Woods, in which one American regiment completely destroyed thousands of old German vets, especially the much vaunted Prussian Guards, in this woody fighting, where they had machine guns placed in most every other tree. THOUSANDS OF GERMANS ARE MADE PRISONERS BY ALLIES. Considering the American soldiers in regards to numbers with that of their Allies and the short time they have had for training, their mark of efficiency and accomplishments can be recorded along with their older and more experienced comrades. The prisoners captured by the Allies during the months of July and August are as follows: July—British, 4,500; Fronch, 33,400; Americans, 4,300. August—British, 28,000; French, 8,426; Americans, 4,008. The Gormans have been Urvian back 21 miles during July and August, and they are still advancing towards Berlin instead of Paris Vory truly yours, HARRY W. REID, Pharmacist, 372d Inf., U. S. S.

Sir: The principles for which The Planet stands are to be commanded. First, last and all the time it has held fast to the program it first mapped out. Early in its history did it declare for racial justice, based on the Divine Law of equality of man, and valiantly and unaccentuating has it fought for its set-up stand ard. Times and conditions have changed but steadfastly and tenuously has The Planet clung to what it believed to be right. Nor did it at any time lose a nerve and flee the scene of action. It is easy enough to stand afar off and hurt stones into a crowd that is fighting among themselves, but the institution worth while is the one that in the face of abuse and even danger courageously things its banner to the breeze, declaring it self ready and willing to share with its people some of the difficulties and sacrifices that are necessary and incident to a successful prosecution of its Cause. The Planet has at all times shown discretion as well as race pride. It has proven itself diplomatic without sacrificing any of the qualities of straightforwardness and manhood. THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE The recent dilemma in which Dr. W. E. B. DuBois found himself is perhaps partly due to the fact that he deserted. It is possibly partly due to the fact that he has held himself aloof from his people and seduced it as no the unquestionable curation of twelve million blacks. "No one who writes to teach the multitude," (if this is Dr. DuBois editorial) is in itself an exponent of the train of thought that has led Dr. DuBois into his present embarrassing situation. "Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them," may now easily be supplemented with "—and some thrust greatness upon themselves." OUR HOPES HERE The majority of the Nerropos of this country have been in the Southland. His hopes and aspirations, as Dr. R. C. Woods says, are in the South. His fortune and misfortune and his problems have all been centered in the South. He is physically and mentally adapted to the South land. Here in the South is he understood and appreciated, even the at times unjustly persecuted and flaved by discriminating legislation. Thus all of this what progress he has made, has been made in the South. In the South he is a factor an economic factor—and an establishment. If this is true, then, how can his problems be threshed out and settled with any degree of satisfaction anywhere but in the South? Dr. Dullois deserted when he left the multitude he essayed to teach and attempted, from what he believed to be an exalted place, to do the teaching, leaving the ignorant multitude in the meantime to the mercy of its ignorance and the Thing from which he thinks he is trying to save it. MUST FIGHT WITH IT The Planet and other noble institutions have remained on the actual scene of the struggle and have neither given nor asked any quarter. They have been as radical in their demands for racial recognition and economic freedom as the dictates of good journalism and breeding would permit. Can you light for the uplift of a people without fighting with it? Could The Planet and its contemporaries have done the good they have accomplished had they deserted the scene and gone afar off for the sake of personal safety and comfort? God moves in a mysterious way, and it may be that the Provident Hand of our Father laid heavy on the shoulders of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People when that board upset the arrangements for the appointment of Dr. DuBois.

The College course has been especially adjusted to new world conditions, so as to give the student the proper insight and fitness to meet the new problems of science, economics, morals and religion, that will naturally evolve out of this world war. Special emphasis is placed upon physic and social sciences as branches that will be fundamental in the work of reconstruction after the war. These in addition to a list of electives, in the College department, afford a splendid opportunity to the ambitious, industrious student, seeking a thorough training for his life work. THEOLOGICAL COURSE The institution is very popular and is frequently hostile because of the very theinch and useful men who receive their training for the ministry in it. In this department, too, the fact is recognized that preaching must have a new social impact; a more human interpretation; and at the same time always observe the all important purpose of the Gospel, the spiritist. FRONT VIEW OF BUILDINGS AND aspect. In shaping the course this has been kept in mind. This department is standard and modern. Excellent advantages are offered to the young men taking this course.

Theological Seminary & College BADLY WOUNDED COMING BACK Men Will Have Best of Medical Care During Recuperation Period. Paris, September 8.—It is announced here from the office of the chief surgeon of the American Expeditionary Force that all lingering cases of illness, that is to say any man in the American Army who is ill more than four months or who, having been wounded need surgical attention for more than that period will be sent back to the United States. The reason for this is the greater hospital facilities in the United States for lingering cases. Men who have been in a hospital for more than 4 months will not, except in rare cases, be used in France but will be employed in work at home so as to release other men of sound physique for service at the front. It has been decided also that no man hereafter will be discharged from the army until every possibility has been exhausted in the effort to put him back in the heat physical condition. Even after the war men whom it will be necessary to retain in hospital for some months will not be discharged until medical authorities supervising their cases have done everything possible for them.

Thirty-five persons, principally members of the fireroom crew of the Mount Vernon, formerly (he German liner Kronprinzessin Cecille, wero killed when the ship was struck by a torpedo last Thursday 200 milos off the French coast, it was an- nounced yesterday by the Navy De partment, | ‘The official announcement states that Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, was one of the passengers and is among those reported safely Janded, Senator Lewis was return- ing from a trip made abroad on a special mission. | ‘The Mount Vernon is one of the great Gorman ships taken over by the United States and has been used as a transport. She was on her return to the United States when struck. The estimate of her carrying enpacity as 4 troop ship places it as near that ‘of the old Vatorland. News OF FATALITINS SURPRISE | ‘The newg that so many of the ship's complement had been killed Was a great surprise to the navy offi- chads as the first reports indicated that there were no casualtios. The belief that there were no fatalities, however, was based principally on the fact that the Mount Vernon was able to put back into port under her own steam and at a 14-knot clip, which was an indication that she had not been hit in a vital part so far as hor motive power was concerned. ‘The official dispatch, howover states: “Phe torpedo struck the ship on tho starboard side, flooding No. 4 fireroom, but the extent of the dam- axe is not stated.” Naval experts say that even grant mg that she was hit hard at tho place stated, being a great vessel, she had’ sufficient flotation left and engines forward that could secount for her evident Gash away from the submarine. | WILL BE QUICKLY REPAIRED. ‘hore x nothing, Yowever, trom official sources to shoW whether she was pursued and shelled or whether convoy came to the rescue and drove off the enemy, It is believed notwithstaniding the fact that the Navy Department does not give the extent of the damago that the Mount Vernon wounds are not so serious as to prevent her from again taking her placo at an early date with the transport flect. ‘There is only. theory to explain how the submarine could havo. ap- proached the Mount Vernon. ctoso cnough to have Inunched the torpedo Somo oftctals bolieve that sho trust- ed to hor great speed and to her very The Star Hair Growe,r Dao eas 5 > i.

Sho, therefore, according to this assumption, distanced the con- yoy and ran into the submarine rather than that tho submarine fol- lowed her. ‘That she went ahead of the conyoy is not, however, believed by consorvative officers, U-BOATS LYING IN WAIT, ‘Their opinion is that the officers of the transport knew that the Ger- mans were making every offort to get this ship and in general any of the big liners that were seized by the United States. ‘Tho ofticers there fore would be careful tb avail them- selves of the protcetion of the con voy, Fortifying this belief is the fact that the news Aad got abroad that the submarines whieh had beon operating on this side of\the AUantic had disappeared mysteriously and were probably lying in wait for in- coming steamers, ‘The facts given out by the Navy Department are, however, so meager that there is only a choice between theorles, ‘The important considera- tion is that the ship not only was not sunk, but that all the evidence is that she may undergo quick re: pairing in a foreign port.

Confident ‘Chey Will Beat the Ger mans, But Realize That It Will Take Time. (By Edwin L. James in N. Y. Times) With the American Army in France September .—vhe American Army is deeply solicitous of public opinion aC home. Every man in it knows we can give the fullest aid to the allied cause only if every man, woman and child in the United States gives our military effort the ultimate. intelli EOnt support. Reeause our fighting men realize this, they are most ans fous that the people at home shout have at all times a proper conception of the situation in order to compro hend just what task still confronts the nation. Not that there is any one in our army bit believes (hat the United States is fully and whole-heartedly hohind the army now, but the lonig heads in the American’ Expeditionary Foree hope the United States will not over-rate the brightness of the present military situation, and thus threaten the fuifitiment of thelr deep est effort through underestimation of the gigantic task yet before our country. Germany is not beaten. Germany is far from beaten. ‘That is what the American Army wants America to bear in mind and continue to bear in mind until the Western front is many, many miles further baek than it is today. It is many miles from the Somme tothe German boundary, and thoso miles will be weary ones. “Phis year’s fighting probably will end with the line about where it was when the Spring fighting started. race “pesrrucrive pErpse.! Of course, it is true that the Allies have the initiative now, but the American Army wants America to deal in results and not promises, Brilliant victories have been won re- cently and are being won, But take the map of the whole Western front.

One may say it was the hardest to win what recently has been won, Perhaps that is (ne, perhaps not, That is only a speculation, ‘Evidence ts not lacking to show that the German command has adopted the policy now to fight a destructive-defensive warfare right back to its own borders, if neces: sary. ‘The German command counts on making this defensive warfare, on its part, so costly for the ANies that they will make terms. Recent events have shown that if Germany ean earry out this plan sho ean make it costly for the Allied troops. ‘That Foch may havo plans to spoil the German plan may be true, but EoeGat oN ps x ee tea : i ., ¢ et 5) NGS ee Ps oo ( f oa? \ ao Haa> Ca. ‘i oe Gs.iie KAN BO =a al Ry , ag oo = a ee that is something else.- Knowing he Jeanot win the war by offensives, the Kaiser is now going to try to win by defensive wartire, and that is what the Allied soldiers have to face, since the Allies are committed to the Hpolicy of bringing Germany to. her knees. And so the Ameriean Army wants the people back home to realize just how big the task remaining to. be done ig, and not ho overated at the beginning of success, whieh must be long drawn out to achieve its final fulfitiments. {A high American officer the other day pointed to sn editorial Ina eopy jor The New York ‘Times recently, reaching the front, which said Foch had won a round’ of the fight, but jealling the attoution of its readers ‘to the fact that other rounds remain to be fought. | 1 wish,” ‘suid this officer, “that all’ Americans looked at it just that way.” | WANT NO FALSE HOPES.

This trial by court-martial in the Regular Army is gruesome business, if we are to judge by the “star chamber" proceedings in the trial of the colored troopers alleged to have been guilty of riotous conduct some lime ago at Houston, Texas, Whereas the newspaper reports were to the effect that’ five colored men were under sentence of death, as a matter of fact sixteen had been condemned todangle at a noose’s end, But we are more interested in the rather remarkable statement of President Woodrow Wilson in ana- lyzing the facts in the ease and in xiving his reasons for permitting the law to tke ils course in the eases of six of the culprits. * We take this occasion (o say that something has been gained in the way of recognition on the part of the colored people, when this great Skitesman, i (he midst of manifold and momentons duties, stops to assign reasons for his action and to. say a word In commendation of the brave colored men who are fighting and dying for (his country on the other side of the Atlantic, We must admit that we are deeply disappointed with his findings and almost heart-broken over his decision not to stop this useless shughter of colored men for an offense for whieh, to our minds, already — suflicient: atonement has been made. But President Wilson is the “Conrt of final resort” in this matter and from his decision there should be no appeal, Much ean be said in favor of his position as against that taken by former President Roosevelt, He took the position that both the suilty and the innocent should be punished, if he could not find the guilty, President Wilson has taken the position that only the guilty should be punished and that only those conclusively proven to be ac- Uve participants in the riotous conduet should receive the highest punishment known to the law. We are free to say though that we cannot see the difference in the degree of pnnishment between hang- ing six persons and condemning to life imprisonment ten others, Both sentences and punishments are on a par, “Petitions were sent from all over the country asking that the further shedding of colored men's blood cease, and that the life sen- tence be substituted for further ex- ecutions of these men in time of war. It is evident that the War Depart- ment would not consent to this request and right through here the War Department is supreme. In asking for commutation, there was no reflection upon the court: martial officials, it was pleading for merey in the fico of inexorable Sus: tice. Wifty leading colored journal- ists and editors emphasized this appeal, The result has been, no doubt, an official memorandum on file which will do much to place our case in a proper light before future Benerations and the world at large! The men, who have been executed, nineteen of them, Joined the United States Army to fight and die, They have had their desires gratified, even though death came in a manner not sought by them. The white men really responsible for the Houston riot have not been punished, ‘They were police officers and as much subject to discipline as are tho men who have gone to their death and the many others, who are now life-time prisoners in the Federal prison, When three colored troopers were executed at Camp Dodge, Des Moines lowe, Friday, July Sth, 1918, after being convicted of the heinous crime of criminal assault upon a white girl, no word of protest came from tho more than ten million colored people in this country, All of us regarded it as a good riddance and would have been forward in pulling the rope thatgsent them to their death. ome way and somehow wo do not plice these nineteen colored mon in the samo category of culprits al though they have beed meted a similar fate for their erin We pray God that somo way nds how a brighter day for © v1 Public sentiment and tee prejudice will not be so 4 as to nullify Che pleas of a rac aged to service and for whom thy vvesi- dent of the United States expresses by inference, at least, a high regard, President.

Colored men, let us die for our country, Let no words of criticism escape us on account of his decree, If they want any more of us executed for this same riot, let them throw open the prison doors and (ake as many of us ax will satisty the insane prejudice of the Negro- hating hordes in far away ‘Texas, Some way and somehow, we shell come unto our own and we shall be able to prove (hat despite the pro- vocation on the part of our enemies fo make us do wrong and to upset the precedents of this generation, we are still able to obey orders, mount seaffolds at the presidential decree and with our comrades, having sought forgiveness at the hands of a forgiving Saviour, dio and “go shouting home to glory.” MONEY VOR LIBERIA, Hon, Rrnest Lyon, Minister Res!- dent and Consul General of Liberia has scored a notable vietory with the aid of Hon. Einmett Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, Dr. RR. Moton and tho con. ference of colored editors and leaders who met in the New Interior Building at Washington recently. ‘The following telegraphic notice explains itself: “Washington, September 10—A credit of $5,000,000 was established today by the ‘Treasury for the Repub lic of Liberia, which has. deelared war against Germany. ‘This added a ninth nation to the list of Allies borrowings from the United States, “The money wil be used to rela bilitate the ite nation's public finances which have been almost ruined by cessation of trade, and ¢o develop production of rico and other foodstufts for the Allies, ‘The credit is established in recognition of Liberia's faithtuiness to the cause of the Allies, and partly in response toa recent appoal of Dr. R. R, Moton principal of ‘Tuskeyee Institute avi other prominent American Nexroes for financial aid to the Republic.” Colored folks aro coming slowly, but due recognition is coming just the same, ‘The world was not built in a day and the full recognition of the black man's rights and privileges exmot come to us overnight or the night thereafter. Let us trust God, the better class of white people in the Southland in particular and the United States in goneral and all will be well with us. WITH FOLKS KRIENDLY. We have been much pleased to notice tho attitude of the white peo- ple as shown by the expressions of tho daily press and that of the Polico Department in this city with refer- ence to tho brutal murder of the lato James ©, Bowman, who was murdered at tho branch store of the Aulantic and Pacific ‘Tea Company ‘on the corner of Harrison and Leigh streets. Colored people have energetically co-operated with the authorities in atlempting to bring the murderer to Justice, We hope that every man, woman and child will exert them- selves to bring due punishment to the burglar. Such a man is a men- ace to society, It is a white man today. It may be a colored man tomorrow. Hunt him down with the samo de- termination as that oxereised in exterminating a reptile, When this spirit prevails, then a better condi- lion of affairs will be brought about for both races, Enquiries in the neighborhood, where the murder oceurred, which ‘neighborhood is distinctively colored, brings (o light tho fact that the mur- dered man was “nature's gentleman,” kindly in disposition and lovable in all those qualities which go to make up the model man, Why this man should have sought out a person of his type can only be accounted for from tho fact that ho was. innately ‘a coward and sought only the harm: Jess for the purpose of destruction. Punish the guilty man, but be suro the man punished is guilty. We sympathize with tho family of the deceased and hope that in some way and somehow, some atonoment may bo made for this erushing wrong inflicted upon innocent ones, As for tho deceased, he is in a bettor land, where “sickness, sorrow, pain and death are folt and feared no more." Peace to his ashos; rost to his soul.

President's Review of Houston Tlot Case Determines Fate of 55 Members of 24th Infantry—Total of Those Executed Will Then be 18. Washington, September 4—President Wilson's review of the Houston riot: case was made public today. Six more of the members of the famous 24th Infantry will be executed and the remaining forty nine sent to prisons for varying terms. This brings the total of colored soldiers executed to 18 and the total imprisoned to 90. Fifteen whites were killed and twelve in jured by the soldiers in August 1917. "I file this memorandum with the Adjutant General of the army," said the President's statement, "in order that the basis of my action may be a matter of record." "On the 23rd of August, 1917 the so-called Houston riot took place. A mutinous and riotous group of soldiers participated in the affairs causing in all the deaths of fifteen persons and the serious wounding of twelve others, many of whom were innocent bystanders and all of whom were peaceably disposed civilians of the City of Houston. "Very searching and thorough investigations were made into the riot, its cause and the actions of the persons who participated with the result that three groups of soldiers were tried by court martial; the cases but long known respectively as the Nesbitt the Washington and the Tillman cases. The records of these trials have been carefully examined by the Judge Advocate General and the Secretary of War and they disclose that in each instance the court was properly situated, was composed of officers of experience and sobriety of judgment and that the rights of defendants were surrounded at every point by these safeguards which a humane administration of the law accords to those charged with grave offences. No legal errors prejudicing the rights of the accused have been found indeed the seriousness of the cases appears to have alleged the attention of the military authorities from the outset and extraordinary precautions were taken to insure the fairness of the trials. "The Nesbit case was first tried. It resulted in the acquittal of five defen dants and the conviction of the remainder; with four sentenced to brief terms of imprisonment forty-one sentenced to life imprisonment and their teen to death. These death sentences were reviewed by the Commanding General of the Southern Department and executed. "Later the Washington and Tillman cases proceeded to trail involving altogether fifty-five persons and, result ing in death sentences imposed upon sixteen and imprisonment upon the remainder for various terms of years, except as to three in the Tillman case two of whom were acquitted and as to one of whom the charges were dis missed. "The review which I have been called upon to make therefore involves death penalties imposed upon sixteen persons. Of these I have affirmed six because the persons involved were found guilty by plain evidence of having deliberately under circumstances of shocking brutality, murdered designated and peaceably disposed civilians. The remaining ten death sentences I have commuted to life imprisonment for the reason that while deeply engaged in this riotous mutiny, the men involved are not shown by the record personally and directly to have caused the death of designated individuals." "The offense of which these soldiers were guilty one of the greatest gravity; the Government relies upon its soldiers for he defense of the liberities of the people and when soldiers forgetting their obligations break over the restraints of discipline and become a riotous and mutinous mob the very foundations of order are snaken. When peaceably disposed and innocent civilians are the victims of of this sort of riot a stern redress of their wrongs is the surest protection of society against their recurrence. "I, therefore, find that the action taken by the Commanding General of the Southern Department was legal and justified by the record and direct execution of the sentences in the six cases above referred to. I commute the remaining sentences in the I believe the lesson of this lawless riot will have been adequately pointed by the action already taken and that now directed and also because I deire the elementy here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service to the country of which they are citizens and for the liberties of which so many of them are now bravely hearing arms at the very front of great fields of battle.

To Every Patriot who can either produce or aid in the production of Cross Ties: The Government of the United States needs for its thousands of miles of railroads cross ties, more cross ties and then still more cross ties. We desire to bring to the attention of every producer in the country, both large and small, that it is a patriotic duty to produce the greatest number of cross ties possible for use on Government Railroads. We desire to bring to the attention of every Farmer, large and small, who owns timber, whether on river or railroad, if he has not produced cross ties in the past, it will be a matter of patriotism on his part to begin at once and produce the greatest possible number of cross ties. To the Tie Chopper: We desire to say to those who have been cutting cross ties for others and who have been working only three or four days in the week, that as soldiers in the army of cross tie choppers, you will be doing a patriotic duty to your country to work full six days in the week, and to put forth during the period of the war your greatest effort. To the Section Foremen of the Railroads: We desire to say you are probably in a better position to stimulate the production of cross ties than any other men by reason of your short section of line and your personal acquaintance throughout the territory. We ask you to see every farmer and timber owner along your section, and as far back from your road as you can, and explain to them the great need for cross ties. You can by application to the undersigned or to the Inspector, provide yourselves with United States Railroad Administration specifications and prices so that you can give the information to those you see. After getting in touch with men on your section, please advise me as to the information you gather and give me the names and addresses of all who will cut cross ties. To the Tie Inspector: We believe you have a chance to do better work for your country and the Government roads than you have ever had, by the searching of the country far and near to find timber and labor to stimulate the production of cross ties. Always give prompt, fair and liberal inspection, and immediate payment for cross ties by a negotiable tie check. Promptness means success. Delay means dissatisfaction. To the Station Agent: You have a splendid opportunity to do missionary work in inducing the production of cross ties by bringing the subject up with your patrons at every opportunity, and impressing upon them the need for cross ties. Please see that specifications and prices are always posted in a conspicuous place in your waiting rooms. To the Train Conductor: You know everyone that travels and can cut cross ties. Like the Agent, you have a rare opportunity to be of service to your country. Please use the opportunity. To All Superintendents, Roadmasters, Supervisors and All Other Officers and Employees: We ask your hearty cooperation in the stim- ulation of the production of cross ties to the greatest extent possible The United States Railroad Administration has put out standard specifications for cross ties that are fair and liberal. Anyone can copies of these specifications posted on the railroad station together with prices that are paid for cross ties. Anyone can secure a copy of these specifications' and prices by writing to the undersigned or to the Tie Inspector of the railroad on which he would cut cross ties. The United States Railroad Administration have fixed the highest standard price ever paid for cross ties in your region, and the same price is paid to everyone for the same grade and class of cross ties regardless of the number they furnish. By order of the Regional Director of the Southern Region all cross ties taken up will be paid for by a cash cross tie check after September 1st, 1918. The Tio Inspector will give the tie check in payment immediately after the ties are inspected and counted. If the owner or his agent is not at the inspection the check will be mailed to his address the same day or next day after the inspection is made. Cross ties must be produced in abundance to safely carry to and from the camps for training and to the ports of embarkation, your sons and brothers who are to fight the Kaiser "To make the world safe for democracy." Cross ties are needed to safely carry to and fro your mothers, your daughters, your sisters and your wives who go as Red Cross Nurses, Young Women's Christian As Association Workers or for other duties in their many missions of mercy, to cheer the well and care for the sick and wounded. Cross ties are needed to make sure the safe and prompt movement over the thousands of miles of track the grains and other products your sons and brothers and all our Allies in Europe require for their use and sustenance during the conduct of this war. Cross ties are needed to make safe and sure transportation of the country's coal, iron ore, steel manufactures and other products and materials without which our troops can not be supplied to fight the Kaiser. Cross ties are needed for the maintenance of our civil population who are working for the troops that fight the Kaiser. You can rest assured that some of the troops and supplies of our country will ride over every cross tie you cut. We rely upon all patriotic Americans wherever they may be to produce and stimulate the production of cross ties for the period of the war to the greatest extent possible. Paris, September 8.—The American transport Mount Vernon, formerly the German steamship Kronprinzessin Cecelle, which, though torpedoed by a German submarine last THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Thursday off the coast of France, was able to make port, was carrying wounded and sick soldiers back to the United States. Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago, Illinois, who was among the passengers, all of whom were saved, is suffering from a chill resulting from exposure while carrying wound ed men from their bunks. Thirty-five engineerroom hands lost their lives when the torpedo struck the vessel. Congressman Thomas D. Schall and John Cross, of Providence, R. I., were among those on board. Mrs. Schall, the wife of the blind representative from Minnesota, led her husband up on deck and across the ship to their lifeboat. Both were calm and acted as though there was no peril. The officers and crew of the Mount Vernon showed perfect discipline and efficiency. Most of the seamen were young and for many it was their first trip, but they acted like old hands. In a short space of time they had all the bulkheads closed and the steamcocks shut off. Sometimes they were compelled to swim through rising water in order to get at the valves. GEORGIA MOB LYNCHES MAN CHARGED WITH MANY CRIMES. Rome, Ga., September 4.—John Gilham, colored, who had been hiding in the swamps near here for ten days, and who was found yesterday by two colored men and turned over to the police, was lynched last night near the scene of a series of crimes he is alleged to have committed in Jones County, according to information from there today. Gilham escaped from a chain gang near Haddock, Ga., on August 15, and since that time is alleged to have attempted assault on two white women. According to the reports received today, he confessed to the crimes and also to a murder in Ware County six years ago. Sheriff Middlebrook and a deputy of Jones County left here with Gilham late last night, and upon arriving at Gray, the county seat of Jones County, were met by a crowd of twenty or more men, who are said to have covered them with guns and took Gilham to the scene of the crimes last month, where he was put to death. A coroner's jury reported that Gilham came to his death at the hands of persons unknown. Can You Comb It? Now guaranteed Liquid that will Straighton Kinky Hair. Simple and Harmless.

In the annals of the city, J. Crawford Bowman 1020 Fourth Avenue. High land Park, sixty-two years old, was shot down in cold blood by a Negro because he refused to turn over the bank he had stolen from the cash drawer of the store of the clan and Pacific Tea Company at Harrison and Leigh Streets. The erlo occurred at about 8 o'clock this morning. Mr. Bowman was manager of the store; had just opened it and was proceeding to wait upon a small Negro man who had entered when a Negro man stepped from behind one of the boxes and ordered him to throw up his hands according to the act. The Negro then turned to her and said, "You had better get out." She did so. Just what happened afterwards may never be learned but a shot was heard by persons outside of the store and a Negro was seen to run out of the store and down Harrison street with a revolver in one hand and another projecting from his pocket. When persons who heard the shot went into the store they found Bow man n a large pool of his own blood. The ambulance was hastily summoned and the injured man, who was still alive, was rushed to the Virginia hos pital where he died a few moments later. It was found that he was wounded in the hip and that he had practically bled to death an artery probably having been severed. Two cartridges and one empty shell the latter believed to have been the are used by the Negro murderer, were found on Chamberlayne avenue by Detective Sergeant Waymack this afternoon. This indicates that the po are close up to the fugitive who is bellowed to be heading to ward Acea. Railroad station agents and track workers have been notified to be on the lookout for him. It is believed that his capture is only a matter of a few hours. Examination of the interior of the store showed that there had evidently been a brief struggle; that Mr. Bowman refused to give up the money and that he was shot because of his refusal. There were two large pools of blood on the floor. The first was behind the counter where Mr. Bowman was standing when he was held up his hands. Mr. Bowman was in the right leg at the hip. It is not known whether or not more than one of his accounts varying, several being of the opinion that they heard two shots and others are certain that there was only one shot fired. Within five minutes after the alarm was sounded every available man in the police department was put on the case and the territory toward which he negro was heading was subject to a scouring search. Police automobiles motorcycles and the Henrico authorities are conducting search which is designed to uncover into the country in an effort to obtain the murderer. It is regarded an evidence that a large reward will be offered for an appropionion. Meantime feeling in the neighborhood of the murder is at a fever heat. Through the police signal system all points in the pathway of the fleeing Negro have been notified to keep a sharp lookout. The Negro is described as about five feet nine inches in height, about 150 pounds; having small features, bearing a pin stripe pattern of trousers and a black hat with a blue or black handkerchief tied about his neck and appearing to be about twenty-seven or twenty eight years old. Mr. Bowman is survived by his wife and three children, two daughters, Mrs. Alice M. Dibble, Mrs. Melton and one son, J. Clayton Melton. It is said that the Negro did not notice in getting more than a few dollars. Many reports of the shooting are affall. One of these is to the effect that the Negro who shot Mr. Bowman was a former employee of the store and that he had demanded his wages and night when he announced he was going to work. Failing to get them appeared morning; again demanded them and then refused of Mr. Bowman to give him shot him. Colored people in the vicinity, however who were questioned by the police discount this theory, saying that the Negro was a strange one and unknown to anyone in the noir hoodborh. It is possible that blood hounds will be placed on the trail of the murderer. It was said by Major Sharp in police that the hunt for the Negro would go forward with out intermission but he was caught or until it was demonstrated that he was beyond the reach of Richmond authorities. Another theory advanced was that the Negro was a customer and asked Mr. Bowman to let him have five pounds of sugar. He refused, telling Negro that he could have only one cup of sugar, up his cup, it is said the Negro shot him. (Richmond Virginia. Evening Journal, Sept. 7, 1918.) MASONS AID POLICE IN SEARCH FOR MURDERED Five-Dollar Bill Marked "Hollar" May Lodge This Appro- portion Rowards Aggregating $500 Will Be Paid for Information Loading to the Arrest and Conviction of Man Who Slow J. C. Bowman. White the Negro who murdered on Saturday morning J. J. Bowman manager of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company store at Harrison Street has not been arrested a thoroug search is being made by the bo THE RICHMOND PLANET Ice. It is thought likely that, the murderer is close to the city having been unable to go far before the police were summoned and began scouring the trail which he had taken. Captain Alex. B. Wright, under whose direction the search for the guilty Nero is being made is of the epiphant that he spent Saturday night either in the small decline back of Wendenberg pond in Barson Heights which is known as the "Wendenberg Bottoms" or in a deserted brickyard nearby. In automobiles the police made a tour of the two places on Saturday afternoon, but absolutely no information could be obtained. "Wen denberg Bottom is inhabited by Negren." The tracks of the murd-er, which he made as he went up Harrison St., holding a pistol in his hand, were through deep mud. Following the tracks, the police observed that they disappeared sharply at the beginning of "Wendenberg's Bottom." There end all trace of the Negre's course. BILL MARKED "HELLER" AMONG STOLEN MONEY A $5 bill, which is known to have been in the possession of the murdered man on Saturday morning, is the chief object around which the police are building their hopes of tracing down the murderer. It appears that Mr. Bowman who was traasurer of one of the Richmond lodges of the Masonic order, was endorsed by the bill on Friday that Mr. Bowman wrote the Masonic Helter. Evidently fearing lest he fused the bill with other money which he had in possession at the time Mr. Bowman wrote the name "Helter" on the end. It is generally thought that the Negro has not tried to pass the bill as yet because he has presumably been so closely tracked that it has been impossible for him to get out into the open. In addition to the rewards offered by the Masonic lodges of the city as surances were yesterday received by the fraternity from many members of the fraternity to offer that each Mason in Richmond would keep a sharp lookout for suspicus as characters and aid in the search for the murderer as much as possible. MAYOR AINSLIE OFFERS REWARD OF $250. The sum of $250 was yesterday offered by the Police Department following a conference between Chief of Police Sherry and Mayor Alain Silio Notices of the offered reward, which have been posted in conspicuous places around the city, read as follows: "Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars Reward! For Information leading to the arrest and conviction of the Negro who shot and murdered one J. C. Bowman in the store of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company Harrison and Leigh Streets this city; on the morning of September 7, 1918." "The murderer is described as follows: colored, aged about twenty-four; height 5 feet 7 inches; weight about 140 pounds; 4.1in face; brown skin; long blue coat; pin stripes pants; light cheek cap; very dirty; with a nail in nail; down over eyes. This man is supposed to have a 54 bill with the name, Holler mark on the end of game." "Mr. Bowman was a member of Maastrie orders, Blue Lodge Masons, Roy at Arch Chap.ier; Commandery and Shriner. "All Masons are requested to give their personal efforts in the apprehension of this murderer. All information will be treated confidentially. (Signed) C. A. SHIERRY. Chief of Police. The sum of the rewards already of forced for the apprehension of the criminal is approximately $500. Governor Davis is expected to add a large amount. POLICE WILL KEEP UP USMOST ACTIVITY Speaking of the police activities in connection with rounding up the Negro, Captain Wright declared yesterday morning that nothing would be left undone. "It has been a tough chase," he said, but the police have been working to the utmost since yes day morning and without a moment's letup. We are doubling up to day and will push the m atter until the murderer is found. That the Negro was unusually self possessed is demonstrated by the fact that he did not run after he had com mitted the murder. Those persons who gave invaluable aid to the police Shanghai so mater-of-fact was the Negro's frer. the scene of the hideous tragedy that they did not know that anything out of the usual had occurred. When they were later told of the murder they all professed great surprise that the Negro whom they saw could have been the slayer. It stands within the grounds of possibility and even probability to quote Captain Wright that the Negro murderer did not intend to kill Mr. Bowman and was not sure that he had shot the shooting. Did murder be an intention states Captain Wright, the Negro would have aimed and fired at Bowman's heart or head. It is con sideder that pure accident directed the bullet to a vital spot. It severed one of the large arteries in the groin which supplies blood to the legs. Mr. Bowman died from excessiv loss of blood. (Richmond Virginia Times Dispatch September 9, 1918.) "OUR SPECIAL GRIEVANCES." The loading editorial in the July Crisis, called "Closo Ranks," has been the subject of much comment. To a few it has seemed to indicate some change of position on the part of the National Association for the Assessment of Colored People and the Crisis in needless to say that it indicates nothing. This Association and this magazine stand today exactly where they have stood during the eight years of their work; viz., for the full manhood rights of the American Negro. The July editorial is not in the slightest degree inconsistent with the principles. It was submitted to prominent members and officers of the board before printing and found no objection. The editorial seeks to say that the first duty of an American is to win WHAT DID SHE DO? MARY JOHNSON'S HAIR Was Short and Kinky Now its Long and Fluffy She Used NOAH'S HAIR DRESSING Price So.

It declares that whatever personal and group grievances interfere with this mighty duty must walt. It does not say that these grievances are not grievances, or that the time may setting aside of wrongs makes him right. But it does say, and The Crisis said, the word that any man or race that seeks his country's tragic predicament to his own personal gain is finally cheating himself. What The Crisis said is precisely what in practice the Negroes of America have already done during the war and have been advised to do by every responsible editor and learner. The editorial was in exact accord and almost in the very words of a resolution written by the same hand and passed unanimously by the thirty-one editors of all the leading Negro publications in America. Did Norgres refuse to serve in the draft until they got the right to vote? No, they stormed the gates of the army for the right to fight. Did their refuge commissions because their school was segregated? No, they school was to enter and diligent to learn. How did men for one moment hesitated to do our full duty in this war because we thought the country was not doing its full duty to us? Is there a single Negro leader who advised by word, written or spoken, rebellion and disloyalty? Certainly not, a monobody or forgot his special grievance and forgot his country, and to him and for him The Crisis speaks. The Crisis says, first your Country, then your Rights!
