TIME IS FLEETING—KEEP POSTED VOLUME XXXVI NUMBER 3 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30, 1918 PRICE: FIVE CENTS PLAN URGED TO VOTE THE COLORED MAN IN THE SOUTH Republicans Threaten A Cut In Congress Members. Washington, Nov. 19. — The practice long in vogue in the South of parceling out Congress districts on the basis of population and then permitting only white men to vote is to be attacked by the Republicans the minute they assume control of the next Congress. A measure will be introduced apportioning the number of representatives in each State on the basis of the vote cast and not by population. That the bill can be put through there is no doubt, but whether it will ever become law depends on the attitude the President takes. The fact that the Negroes of the South were called upon without question to do their part in the war in the draft army and otherwise will be pressed by the Republicans as evidence of the feeling that they should receive the rights of citizens if they are to be called upon to perform the duties of citizens. It is certain that Southern members of Congress will make a bitter fight against the innovation. It would mean that instead of the big delegation now in Congress from the Carolinas, Georgia, Texas, Alabama Louisiana, Florida, Virginia and冈nesse there would be probably one-quarter as many. If the President listens to the pleas of the Southern representatives he will vote the measure when it gets to him. It is doubtful if the House even with its big Republican majority next year could pass the bill over the veto. It is certain that the Senate could not do it. WANT PRESIDENT TO APPOINT A COMMISSION ON COLOR QUESTION IN AMERICA. --- Petition Wilson for Laws Against Lynching and Military Discrimination. Boston Herald, Nov. 15. An assembly of colored citizens in Tremont Temple yesterday, which had gathered to hold a service commemorative of the life of the late Mrs. Geraldine Louise Trotter, passed a resolution in her name, appealing to President Wilton to ask Congress for an anti-lynching law, and for measures to end discrimination against their race in the army, navy and in civil life. "When the world," the resolution said, "is acclaiming the magnificent victory for democracy in which this nation, under your wise leadership, shares so gloriously, 12,000,000 of our colored American citizens are saddened because of rights still denied them. By the side of the press report announcing peace there appeared an account of the lynching of a colored citizen. "Colored men and women responded to your call to the colors with such patriotic fervor as to win your commendation of "the splendid loyalty of the race; yet these men, after all they have sacrificed, are proscribed in the army and denied enlistment except as servants—in the navy. Disfranchisement and segregation continue while American women, many wives, mothers and sisters of these soldiers, suffer humiliating indignities on account of color." COMMISSION IS CALLED FOR A commission, with adequate powers, and composed in part of Colored men, is asked in the resolution to investigate and report, and the President is urged to make the matter the subject of a special message to Congress. In urging favorable consideration the petitioners quote the President's words, "for the right is more precious than peace." The resolution was signed by the Rev, Matthew A. N. Shaw, president, and William Reed, secretary of the committee in charge of the Geraldine Louise Trotter Memorial Fund, subscriptions to which were received at the meeting. The gathering was arranged as a tribute to the work of Mrs. Trotter in behalf of equality of rights for her race. The Rev, Walter D. McClane presided, introduced by the Rev, M. A. Shaw. HER WORK RECALLED State Treasurer Charles L. Burwell recalled Mrs. Trotter's trip to Camp Devens to present a stand of colors to the colored battalion of the 519th Engineers. He spoke hopefully of the new spirit that since the war softening creed and class differences and declared that Mr. Trotter's soul like John Brown's "is marching on." Moorefield Storey, handicapped by a bad threat, nevertheless said that he could not let the occasion pass without raising his voice in memory of Mrs. Trotter, who had passed away in a struggle not only for her race, but for her country. John W. Schenck spoke of Mrs. Trotter's work for the Boston Literary and Historical Association; Emery T. Morris, of her work for equal rights organizations; Dr. Horace Bumstead former president of Atlanta University of her work for prisoners dwelling particularly upon her long struggle to procure the pardon of William F. Hill, of Stoughton. GUARDIAN ANGEL OF COLORED SOLDIERS Mrs. Lillian Lewis Fuertado, who was secretary of the Godmothers' Association which Mrs. Trutter formed, spoke of her work for the soldiers, particularly the 54th Engineers, calling her "the guardian angel of the colored soldiers." Maurice W. Spencer, of Washington, an officer of the National Equal Rights League, delivered an eulogy upon the memory of Mrs. Trutter, and brought with him a contribution of $9a, which the Washington local branch of the league made to the memorial fund. "The invocation was uttered by the Rev. B. W. Swain; the benediction by the Rev Dr. Shaw, Music was furnished by J. Shelton Pollen, organist; Mrs Mary Wigglesworth and William Richardson, soloists, and by the audience. Approximately $4,000 has been paid in toward the memorial fund of $2,000. WILL AID IN THE RED CROSS NURSING SURVEY --- Miss Elizabeth Gaiters R. N., super- incident of Richmond Hospital has been appointed a member of the Red Cross: Nursing survey committee of which Miss Rosa Van Vert is chair man it was announced today. The pur- pose of this committee is to obtain the name, address and qualifications of every woman who has had training or part training in nursing. The government does not wish to force women to work neither is it aiming to round up shackers ubt the surgeon general wishes to know the nursing power of the country. Every colored woman in this city and in the counties of Henrico, Hanover or Chesterfield who is a graduate nurse an undergraduate; a paid nurse in a hospital; a practical nurse or midwife should send her name and address to Miss Van Vert at Stuart Circle Hospital. These two men will then receive questionnaires from the committee which, when filled out, will supply full informa- tion regarding their training and experience. Posters have been placed throughout the city bearing the woe to "I have — have you?" These are intended to call the attention of nurses to the fact that they should send in their names at once, for a work must be complete on the hands of Red Cross headquarters in Washington by January 1. Members of the committee urge all women having nurses in their families on their blocks; in their churches; or of their acquaintance to send in the nurses and addresses. Of course there will be much overlapping, but the cards will be checked carefully. It is said that physicians can help in this matter by giving in the names of all nurses known to their practice. A similar survey was taken early in the war for the purpose of finding out the nursing strength of the country for military service the present survey is to bring about efficient work during reconstruction.

ACCUSE PRISIDENT WILSON OF BAD HABITAT TABLE SEITURE Acted Under War Law in Peace Time Say Semen Abdul and Mohammed Washington, November 21.—The seizure of the cable lines when fighting had ceased, but under war time authority granted to the President, was the occasion for an inflammatory outburst of protest in the Senate today. Denunciation of the alleged deception of Congress in regard to the need for the enactment of legislation to permit such a seizure as a war measure and the non-exercise of such powers was over peace in sight was promoted by Republican Sonators while the Democrats sat by and listened with interest to the clamor without vouchsafing a reply. The ulterior motive of perversion of the news of the peace conference and suppression in Europe of American public, press or legislative opinion not wholly in consonance with the views of the President was charged by Republicans as the basic purpose of the cable seizure. The taking over of the express companies was coupled with the seizure of the cables, and both nets of the Administration were alleged by the critics as exemplifications of the tendency toward State Socialism in place of the communist under which the United States has proceeded for nearly a century and a half. Senators Watson (Indiana) and Sherman (Illinois) addressed the Senate with regard to the alleged tendency toward autocratic interference by the Executive with the opposition both in internal affairs and in American communication with the outside world. WOULD EXTEND FEDERAL CONTROL A resolution introduced today by Senator Lewis (Illinois) in which he sought to commit the Senate to a ratification of the theory of ultimate Government ownership of all monopolies, including the national resources in fuels, oils and gas, furnished a text for both Senators, although they by no means possess government control idea. Senator Lewis's resolution reads as follows: "Be it resolved by the United States Senate, assembled, that it is the expression of the United States Senate that the policy of the United States Government for the Federal Government be that of Government ownership of interstate railroads, telegraphs, telephones and also national lines of communication necessary to complete postal and telegraphic service to the citizens of the nation. -401) ouj ouj [ləʊmə] paʊəsəm], ornament should possess and own all natural agencies for the production of goods, the land and fuel produced from natural agencies. It shall construct and own ships and agencies of water transportation necessary for merchant marine, all to be maintained and continued in behalf of the United States and for the advancement of its commerce, so as to facilitate the dealings of the citizens of the United States in matters of trade and shipment with all citizens of other countries. "Resolved, further, that the matter of the operation of these agencies hereofore mentioned is a subject to be regulated and adjusted in each instance according to the demands and circumstances surrounding the operation of that particular agency hereofore mentioned for the use of that agency, be it railroad, steamship, telephone, telegraph, coal or oil. USING WAR POWERS DURING PEACE TIME. Senator Watson opened the attack on the assumption of war powers in peace time by saying: "Last week the press informed us that the President of the United States announced that under governmental control and operation the express companies of the nation. "The President did not assign any reason for that action and therefore we are left to the broad field of concern to why it was taken. It is quite clear that we are assuming that the action was taken under the act of Congress passed in 1916, by which the President was empowered to take over all the transportation systems of the country, and it is safe to assume that in the future the express companies of the nation are empowered to transport the transportation system of the country. "With that conclusion I have no quarrel, but it is passing strange that during all the time of storm and stress, during the period of unparalleled congestion, during the time when we were transporting millions of soldiers, it was not thought essential by the President to take over the express companies to relieve that congestion. Now, the Tun has signed the armistice, when Germany lies prostrate at our feet, when the Sun of Peace fills all our skies he has taken over the express companies of the country for operation by the Federal Government. "I believe that that is a breach of good faith on the part of the President of the United States. Congress has extended extraordinary power for war purpose only. We yielded up our authority, and power in the President's right hand and authority in his left hand for the sole purpose of winning this war. "And now after finding it unnecessary to take over the express companies during the war, now when peace is at hand the President, as I believe, violates the spirit, in fact we coerced this power upon him we taking over the express companies UNWILLING TO GIVE UP POWER. "Why was this step taken? It was taken in my belief simply because the President is loath to give us any of the powers with which we have clothed him and that those subordinates about him, including those in the cabinet, do not intend to rollinquish that power unless compelled to do so by legislative action. To province of a minority party or of any individual member of it to offer criticisms of an Administration merely for the sake of criticising. To use the ordinary street expression I do not believe in throwing a monkey wrench into machinery in order to have the pleasure of witnessing the destruction of the works. This is especially true of the Republican party, because having always been a supporter of the construction it ill-conforms with its character to take upon itself a cannage of more criticism for the purpose of obstruction. "But while this is true generally, it is also true that to gloss over errors and to conceal mistakes may be in the long run just as destructive, because if mistakes and if errors of the President may become fostering sores that will require more drastic measures to eradicate. "We are also informed that by proclamation the President has taken over the cables. If what I have said with reference to the express compartment with how much great or force do these same words apply to the cables." The Indiana Senator reminded the Senate at this point that during debates on the proposal to take over the telegraph, telephone and cable lines last summer both the House and the Senate repeatedly asked by Administration spokesman that the President had absolutely no intention of taking over the cables. LINKS ACTION WITH WILSON'S TRIP, ABROAD. "Now after these declarations and now after every hour of emergency has passed and peace has come upon us," he continued, "we have the President of the United States violating, as I believe, again the letter and the spirit of that law by taking over the cables for Governmental operation. It is exceedingly significant that the President of the United States comes just at the time when the President of the United States is about to visit a foreign country. "I am not going to quarrel with the decision of the President about going abroad. I do not believe it is an unconstitutional act. It is new and it is novel and in some respects it wears aspects that are quite startling. I do not believe there is any necessity for his going a broad provider of services as much as I believe he might have at this time confided to many of his qualified fellow citizens. "But it is singularly significant that just at the time the President is about to go abroad he takes over the cables after having declined to take them over during all the years of war and all the time of storm and peril and when every necessity for his having taken them over has caused him the necessity for such action has ever existed. "Therefore, we are again left to the wide field of conjecture as to why the President sees fit to take this particular action at this particular time. Certainly no one would claim that he is taking them over as a necessity of war. Certainly no one will claim that this is in any who related to the war proposition, because there is no war, and because all the time hostilities were in progress he declined to take them over. Because the agreement was doing all that needed to do himself with the express companies and with the cables. How can it be said that private management will fail now that the war is over and the days of peace have come upon us? SINISTER REASON SEEN IN THE CABLE SEIZURE. "The President might have taken his fellow citizens into his confidence and given his reasons for taking over the cables. He has not seen fit to do so. No man has arisen to give a reason except the hidden and sinister nature of the government's policy of government ownership and that it is the opening door to the existence of a social state. "It is quite significant that the President is taking with him as one of his companions on his trip George Creek, master of public instruction, and that he is the President leaves those shores he does not intend that any man at the peace table shall know what is being said in the House of Representatives and on the floor of this body. I take it for granted that we are not to know on this side what they are doing over and that they are not to know on that side what we are saying over here. "I can conceive no other reason for this action at this particular time. Why does George Creeal go along? Clearly in order to send what he wants, he required. With George Creeal at that point, trolling all the messages and information and with Albert Burleson at this end controlling all the sources of information the country may be well warned that it may take at least with a grain of salt whatever is published so what happens on the other side. "It occurs to me that in all fairness the American people ought to know every transaction that goes on at that peace table. Certainly the Senate should be apprised of those transactions. Sonator Watson summed up his arrangement of the cable seizure by saying: "The Senate under the Constitution of the United States shares the treaty making power and it is ours to ratify whatever may be done, and yet we are to be deprived not only of fair contact, because no member of the Senate will be appointed to go, but we are to be deprived by cable as to what transactions occur about that peace table. I think it is the most remarkable transaction in the history of our entire diplomacy THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA that such a thing could happen at walt time in the history of the world. SEES STATE SOCIALIST MENACE The Lewis resolution committing the Senate to advocacy of a permanent policy of government ownership of public utilities, transportation lines and mineral resources next to the Senate's Johnson's attention and he concluded: "My honorored friend from Illinois is accentuating the very idea I have been trying to impress on Senators, and that is that various members of the Presidency are abbot and the Senate of the country socially inclined who surround him are socking to force upon this country a programme of state socialism. Therefore we may as well recognize that policy and prepare to confront it as one of the most stupendous problems the complex the republic at this vital hour. "The thing that stirs me to the very depths is the fact that under these circumstances these gentlemen propose not only to hold but to take over additional facilities and utilities for the express purpose of fastening upon the country the political power of government, and establishing a system of state socialism, which if followed to its logical conclusion will pull down the pillars of the Republic and bury us all in its melancholy ruins. "I should be glad if the Senate in this hour of rehabilitation and reconstruction would reassert itself the recent power of the President of the United States. WHITE HOUSE GOES TO PARIS Senator Sherman followed Senator Watson. The President's proposed trip to Europe attracted his first attention. "After the first Monday in December, 1918," he said, "the White House has transferred officially to Paris and 3,000 miles of salt water will send its heavying tide between the sole remaining powers of Government in the United States and the Executive. There will be left the Supreme Court of the United States when it shall convene; there will remain the Senate and the House. Representatives; there will be Executive White House will be transferred to Europe, where it will remain, according to press reports, a considerable time. The President will be attended by the usual retinue. He will have his press body guard, the redoubtable Creel, who will "Creel" every message in approved and official form before it shall be transmitted by cable to Mr. Creel's denial that his services abroad would be those of a news censor was then read by Senator Sherman with the comment that it reminded him of the Spanish proverb "Never lose the earl." He continued "Can Creel with the entire telegraph system, with seventeen cable lines, all resting in the palm of his imperial hand, resist? Did he not testify before a Sonate committee not many months ago that in his early days he was given access; that sometimes language was too lurid; that he spoke sometimes in terms of red headlines from force of habit? "A horse that balks once will balk again. Mr. Creel is still Creel. the chairman of the Committee on public information in Paris with whom he reformed the journalists, earlier he was in Denver and is in Washington today. "Why is his presence required? Is he possessed of diplomatic knowledge? Is his presence deemed necessary mayhap for the safety of the Chief Magistrate? He has no record as a personal bodyguard or as a valorous nun. He has a cack Cade had it: "My dagger is in my teeth and he who would fight with me must stand the onslaughts of my tongue." WILSON'S ADMIRERS CRITICISED Tendency in certain publications toward giving President Wilson whole credit for the victory over Germany was criticised by Senator Sherman. The claim is renegotiated to the sentiments of every Senator and of every citizen of our country," Senator Sherman said. "The victory belongs to the American people." The Senator read a copy of a resolution adopted by the Democratic Central Committee of Muskegan county, Ohio, commending the President in the most humiliating language the resolution referred to the President as "His Majesty Woodrow Wilson." "So be it—This Majesty Woodrow Wilson," continued Senator Sherman. "I thought I would give this reminder so that if there is any question when he goes abroad about court etiquette I will refer them to the Democratic Central Committee of Muskogun county, Ohio. It is an honour, and the Committee he chooses to be in humble submission if engrossed copies of the resolution were forwarded to him in Paris. I trust the press reports, if they are not pinched off at this end of the cable, will reach him so that any noct question on diplomatic addresses may be settled in due form." As the representative of the radicalism Senator Sherman has repeatedly assailed George Creel. Today he renewed the assault on the whole army of radical thinkers, whom he ought to be in the ascendance, say he. "There is in this country the radical element. There is the Bolshevist abroad in the land. The red flag is carried at the head of a procession in New York city. It has not been carried in Chicago, but no one knows the day when its cobblestones will be paved with blood as the result of a bombing in a room in the air of America for more than one flag. I have no use for the crow that put a red flag to the skies of this republic. RADICALISM A GROWING DANGER "The tendency of the age and the tendency of the times is to destroy the sovereignty of the States," Senator Sherman went on. "The radical does not bellow in a State line anywhere. He believes in an autocracy. His ideal government is in Russia today. Every great metronol than city in this country is a brooding ground to spawn radicals upon the lawabiding citizens of the country. "All of the radicals that are not in all are in office under this Administrator. They are not proud of the company. Do not speak to do the talking for you. It does not hurt me any and it might hurt you. But you belolove it just the same. You have no more use for them than I have. What the President is going to do not know. "This Administration is responsible for its kitchen cabinet and that cabinet, headed by Col. House, is a collection of radicals imbued with vagaries of Karl Marx and of Lenino and Trotzky. You had better purge your own household. There will be some radicals some rival the chlaming and the differences that we had in our unhappy family. "The issue that is forcing itself to the front, that is aggrivated by such suzures as that of the cable lines is that of the enterprise, that is the enterprises and embracing all of the instruments of production and distribution to lapso into the language of the platform of the radical. So that will project itself into 1920." PEACE LEAGUE DENOUNCED BY SENATOR REED. Democrat Says U. 8. Must Keep Free of "Eatangling Alliances." Washington, November 21.—Bittor hostility to President Wilson's suggestion that the peace treaties with which the war shall formally be terminated should include some form of agreement for the preservation of the rights of nations and of nations was voiced in the Senate today. Senator Reed (Missouri) Democrat, denounced the suggestion that the United States shall become a party to any form of international peace agreement in which the nation shall become obligated to participate in the adjustment of the brols of other nations. Senator Reed first read an extract from Washington's farewell address in which was conveyed the warning against entangling foreign alliance. In the sharpest phrases Senator Reed proclaimed his belief that to obligate the American nation to a policy which would national and interracial strife would be the act of a traitor to every principle of the free Government. LISTS AMERICAN GREATNESS. "So spoke the creator of this republic," said Senator Reed. "Who will be its destroyer? Under the policy just enunciated we have lived 132 years. Our borders have been extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Our population has grown from 43,000 to 104,000,000. We have gathered in our lap more wealth than there is in all the rest of the world. We have glorified our land with wondrous and magical cities. We have covered the prairies with the farms and habitations of free men and free women. From countless chimneys goes up the smoke of many fires, husbands wife and children how to the God of freedom and bless the memory of Washington. "We have become the foremost nation in the world, not only in wealth but in man power, education, intelligence. So great have we become that when Europe engaged in a life and death struggle, when the Teutonic army put forth a promise of fifty years, undertook to overwhelm Europe and apparently had succeeded we were able to come to the rescue. "Standing in our position of splendid isolation and independence, without a great standing army or a great navy, but with the strength of a just cause and with the indomitability with fearless heart of the brave people to instain us, we stepped into the conflict. "France had been driven back over bloody fields. The English forces were reeling and staggering to their fate until Haig exclaimed in the agony of his heart, "Our backs are at the war at that moment how voices were heard coming from the rear. It was the mingled Yankee cheer and robel yell of the American soldier. They swept through Chateau Thierry and turned back the ornushig Huns, and from that moment until the armistice was declared not only the American flag but the Flag of Allies moved forward to victory and to glory. "This is the story told in a word, and most imperfectly, of what has been accomplished by following the teachings of Washington. At a time like this, when peace is about to be declared, that is the crowning thing in all the history of this world, a peace that was made possible by the valor and power of this country, it is proposed that we shall abandon our ancient and traditional policy and become entangled in every broil of Europe. "This is the most monstrous doctrine that over was proposed in this republic. The sanction of no great name can render it holy and the opinion of no great man can make it safe." OPPOSES THE INTERNATIONAL MILITIA IDEA. Senator Reed, with the foregoing for his promise, developed his argument in opposition to either an international court for the adjudication of international disputes or a league to enforce peace, on the ground that the decisions would require the maintenance of an international army and navy. He compared the international court to other courts, wherein, he said, were it not for the constabulary to enforce the decrees of court the decisions would be meaningless and of small avail. Who was true, said he, of the international court would be true of the league of nations. He demanded to know who would command the army of international police and with what measure of security the United States should surrender its rights of self-determination and of self defense to a league in which there might arise a conflict that might become the dominating power militarily. In conclusion he said: "I say today that the man who will willingly help create an army great enough and strong enough to conquer the United States is a greater traitor to his country than was Bonodict Arnold."—New York Sun The Agricultural and Technical College SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WHO DESIRE TO DO SUMMER WORK.

NATION BONE DRY ON JULY FIRST PRESIDENT WILSON SIGNS THE FOOD BILL. Washington, November 21.—The food stimulation bill, with the Jones nation-wide bone dry rider, which makes the entire nation arid from June 30, 1919, until demobilization has been accomplished, was signed by the President this afternoon, just in time to prevent a veto by default. It was but a few minutes before adjournment when the President attached his signature to this bill, making it law. Had he waited five minutes the measure would have failed as it could not be signed after the adjournment die. In many quarters the President's action occasioned surprise. Supporters of the measure were fearful and its opponents hopeful of a Presidential veto, as the bill in all its features is a war time emergency measure, and by many was regarded as no longer necessary. The distillation of whiskey has been stopped for more than a year, and the brewing of beer is to stop in a comparatively few days under executive order, for the period of the war. The Jones rider goes beyond this, however. It will be effective after the proclamation of peace, if the army is not demobilized. It provides production and sale of alcoholic stimulants shall be stopped "until the conclusion of the present war, and thereafter until the termination of demobilization, the date of which shall be determined and proclaimed by the President of the Unit ed. States." Many Senators and others gravely doubt the constitutionality of the rider and it probably will be attacked from this ground, if it be comes effective. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

High office is mighty gratifying, but when combined with home expenses, it is a luxury that few people can afford to enjoy. President Wilson is going to Europe and Ex-Attorney General George W. Wickersham declared this President Marshall, under the Constitution should discharge the duties of that office. The trouble about this is that the opinion of the present Attorney General only has a binding effect upon the president and he rules that Hon. Woodrow Wilson can be President of the United States in France and discharge the duties of the office Attorney Wickersham's argument is well-nigh convincing, but the Constitution of the United States has been in the attic so long and so little regarded that it will occasion no surprise if no attention is paid to it in this instance. It's an amusing situation though when a Democratic President cannot trust a Democratic Vice-President to discharge the duties of his great office during his brief stay in a foreign land. NO PEACE WITHOUT REUNION. Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D. of Philadelphia, Pa., wrote one of the most logical and convincing communications upon the present. Baptist denomination situation as it affects the two wings of the National Baptist Convention that it has been our pleas ure to read. The position taken squares with the desire of every loyal colored Baptist in the United States of America and presents truths that none can gainstay or deny. Still, it would be well to consider this great question from an utterly impartial stand-point and to accord to both sides the credit to which either is justly due. If Dr. R. H. Boyd of Nashville --- Tenn., is correctly quoted he is utterly opposed to a union of the two wings of the national body, out he is in favor of a friendly relationship between the two. He wants two National Baptist Conventions with two sets of officers and two publishing houses. Before even this can take place he wants the National Baptist Convention incorporated to withdraw its application for an injunction as filed in the court of Cook, Illinois and he also wants the barriers in the several states against the members of the unincorporated body removed. To this proposition, Rev. Dr. Moses replies that there can be no peace without reunion. It stands to reason that there can be peace with reunion. The Peace Commission, so called will convene in Nashville, Tenn., December 12th, 1918. As we understand it, the purpose of this meeting is to secure peace with reunion. If the meeting is for any other purpose, the members of the bodies, that sent them there might as well remain at home. What we would like to know is, if the representatives from the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated will go to Nashville under instructions The representatives of the National Baptist Convention are going to attend the meeting uninstructed. The situation seems to be this: President E. C. Morris one of the ablest pulp divines in the country has named a committee to represent the National Baptist Convention of which he is the official head, to the end that there may be a union of the two opposing bodies and that discord and ill feeling may cease. Were the members of the Commission named by President E. P. Jones and Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd designated to act only for these two individuals and to limit their ideas and opinions within the boundaries set by these two distinguished churchmen? Were the members of the Commission named by President E. C. Morris restricted in their thoughts and field of action? Are they free to pursue such a course and to make such recommendations as they regard essential and for the betterment of the denomination at large? These are the questions to be answered. For President Morris, we feel free to say that no restrictions were imposed upon members of the Peace Commission re presenting the National Baptist Convention. If what Dr. Boyd is quoted as saying is true, then the members of the Peace Commission from the National Baptist Convention were given explicit instructions. "Thus far shalt go and no further." Then what is the use of going to Nashville, Tennessee? An answer can be given to this ultimatum, without going several hundred miles to deliver it. President Morris has declared that he is ready and willing to make any honorable sacrifice to unite the two contending bodies. He has stated that he will retire from the presidency of the National organization, if this retirement will bring about peace and harmony. He is ready to have annulled the objectionable legislation which resulted in the incorporation of the national body in a questionable manner, but he wants peace and harmony as a result of such a movement. Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd, is admitted by one of the ablest citizens of color in this country and he is making a personal fight to save for himself the accumulations of a lifetime. He regards the whole fight as being directed at him and being a powerful and influential character he has drawn to himself enthusiastic supporters who are ready to fight with him "to the last ditch," so to speak. Is "the game worth the candle?" It is but fair to state that President E. C. Morris has little at stake, save the balance due him on salary, while Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd claims to have the financial interests that he has succeeded in nurturing during all of these years and on which he depends during the declining years of old age. Viewed from this stand-point, there may be a vital reason for the difference in the attitude of the two men. Would Dr. E. C. Morris occupy the same high ground that upon which he now stands, if his financial interests were tied up so to speak in the decision of the body that will meet shortly in Nashville, Tenn.? He no doubt believes that he would. On the other hand the Peace Commission can afford to be generous in its dealings with Tev. Dr. R. H. Boyd and Rev. Dr. Boyd should be generous in his dealing with the Peace Commission. We should not forget that all members of the Peace Commission whether they be from the Southern Baptist Convention (white), the National Baptist Convention or the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) should realize that their constituencies' interests are first and foremost and that the question of men should be secondary to the one of the denomination's welfare. We hope to see such an adjustment brought about so will enable us to retain the services of the very able THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd, but when he lays down such a platform and enun clates such doctines as that quoted by the brilliant young divine, Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., who quotes from Dr. Boyd's personal organ at Nashville, we are forced to conclude that we must have peace and union with out Dr. Boyd if we cannot have peace and union with Dr. Boyd. Selah. SECRETARY W. G. McADOO'S RETREMENT. The resignation of Hon. William G. MacAdoo as Secretary of the Treasury and Director General of the Railroads came as a bolt from a clear sky and although the letter was dated November 14, 1918, it was given to the public under date of November 23, 1918. Whether or not an effort had been made to have Secretary MacAdoo reconsider his resignation is not stated. Still there is a difference of seven days in the dates of the letter of Mr. Mac Adoo and the one of President Woodrow Wilson accepting the resignation. For the onerous service and manifold duties, he received only one salary that of the Secretary of the Treasury, which paid twelve thousand dollars per year. Labor leaders gleefully referred to the fact that high salaried railroad officials had been put out of business. Some of them received as much as twenty-five thousand dollars per year and upwards. But Secretary Mae Adoo was destined to be the victim of his own new policy. He had reduced the salaries of others and he could not consistently increase his own salary although his duty to his own family demanded that he should do so. President Wilson evidently did not see his way clear to aid his own dis tinguished son-in-law and the end came suddenly. There are some references in Secretary Mac Adoo's letter that demand attention, indicating as they do that he has been given much work with inadequate pay. He says: "For almost six years I have worked incessantly under the pressure of great responsibility. Their exactions have drawn heavily on my strength. The inadequate compensation allowed by law to Cabinet officers (as you know I received no compensation as Director-General of Railroads) and the very burdensome cost of living in Washington have so depleted my personal resources that I am obliged to reckon with the facts of the situation. "I do not wish to convey the impression that there is any actual impairment of my health, because such is not the fact. As a result of long overwork I need a reasonable period of genuine rest to replenish my energy. But more than this, I must, for the sake of my family, get back to private life to retrieve my personal fortune." This means that the distinguished official has nearly come "to the end of his tether," so to speak in that he has seriously impaired his private fortune and the presumption is that a longer discharge of duties at the same compensation will make him a bank rupt. If Congress end the President wishes his services, both must agree to pay him a sufficient amount to enable him to continue the duties of the office. It also shows that Secretary Mac Adoo is a man or high ideals, that he has been scrupulously honest and that no scandal is to attach itself either to him or his office in an effort on his part to "make both ends meet." Secretary Mae Adoo should have known what is apparent to every one. When you marry a President's daughter, you must have the "rocks" with which to support her, especially when you occupy a relationship that calls for social affairs, where a billionaire's revenue alone can stand the strain of the expenditures without notice. The distinguished New Yorker, who was born in Georgia goes into retirement with high honors and we regret that this disclosure is made while the world is just recognizing the value of his services. ASK PRESIDENT WILSON TO END LYNCHING. Plead for a Fair Deal in Army, Navy and Civil Life. Boston, Mass., November 18.—President Wilson has been appealed to by Boston Negroes to ask Congress for an anti-lynching law and for measures to end discrimination against the colored race in the army, navy and in civil life. A resolution adopted at a meeting last night in Tremont Temple was today sent to Washington. The meeting was a service commemorative of the life of the late Mrs. Geraldine Louise Trotter. The resolution calls for a commission with adequate powers and composed in part of colored men to invigile and report. The President is asked to make the matter the subject of a special message to Congress. The resolution was signed by the Rev. Matthew A. N. Shaw president and William Reed secretary of the committee in charge of the Geraldine Service Trotter memorial fund, subscriptions to which were received at a meeting. ZEK Gen. H. K. A.

THE PLANET SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1918 ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE NEWS The Rev. Granderson, the Evangelist preached Sunday morning at eleven o'clock to an attentive audience. The Reverend delivered one of the most instructive sermons it has been my privilege to hear at any time in my remembrance. He is the best interpreter of the Bible I have ever heard. He has been with us turning into the second week and at each service he has delivered the Gospel message to all who would come. The reading services have excelled any I ever attended. The fundamental truths brought out and made clear cannot be soon forgotten for indeed he makes the message clear and plain that Christ receiveth sinful men. Rev. Dr. Granderson preached at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church from the text found in the eighth chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes and the eleventh verse. He proved the long suffering and patient endurance of God to the world of sinners, lost and ruined by the fall, when he showed his audience that Christ was our substitute between Justice and God, presenting a thorn pierced brow, the bleeding hands, His pierced feet, the soldier's spear in His side, bearing all for his restoration back to God and the favor of Heaven. On Monday night the Rev. Granderson spoke to the people from Amos 4:11-12. It was a great sor mon. Mrs. Lizzie Armstead, of 908 Peach Street, who has been quite ill with Spanish Influenza is out again after three weeks. She and her little son left for Norfolk, November 24 to visit her sister. Mr. James Duckwilder, of Salem, Roanoke County, Va. died Saturday, November 23 at twelve o'clock. Mr. Daniel Hill, of 117 High St., N. W. died Thursday, November 21. The remains were shipped to Boon's Mill, Va. Mr. Isaac Stanfield, 66 McDowall Avenue leaves Thursday morning, November 28, in company with M. Stanfield for Pulaski and other points West. Madam White, at the Elite Cafe, will satisfy you with something to eat clean and neat, day or night____at the Elite. Mrs. E. I. Becker, the leading Hair Dresser of Roanoke has moved into her new quarters in the Cosmopolitan Building, 27 Fourth Avenue, N. W. and Gainshoro Avenue. Call at this spacious parlor and get your work satisfactorily done. She's the best in town. Call around and be convicted. Our old friend, Robert Coles, is on the corner of Gainshoro and Sixth Avenue and fixed to satisfy your longing appetite for something to eat or drink of the season. Pies —the best of pies. Get your clothes made at T. W. Hale's. He repairs as well as makes 'em in the Cosmopolitan Building, on the corner of Gainshoro and Gilmer Avenues, N. W. J. M. Bannister and our friend, Pough on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Gainshoro Road will satisfy you with your repair work for your soles. They have installed a nice, large machine. They nail or sow them on. All kinds of shoe work repaired here. Mrs. Ella Lockhayer has just returned from a three weeks' visit to Richmond and other cities. All were glad to see her home again, on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Park Street, N. W. Mrs. Addie Stanfield and two daughters, Lillian and Emily, 406 Townsend Street, Wilmington, Delaware, are expected home Thanksgiving. They have been absent from the city nearly two years. Their many friends will be glad to welcome them home again. Mrs. Nancy Wright, of North Jefferson Street died November 21 at the very ripe age of 93 years and 6 months. She leaves three brothers and a host of relatives to mourn their loss. She was conscious of the approaching end. She was the sister of Deacon James Wright, of the First Baptist, Messrs. Norman and Charles Wright, Kingstown, Va. Her remains were solemnly laid to rest Saturday, November 23, in the First Baptist Cemetery. Rev. W. W. Hicks, of Mt. Zion Baptist Church rendered a very beating ecology. The polite and obliging funeral director, Mr. C. C. Williams had the funeral in charge. Mrs. Helen Barlow left the city Monday evening for Columbus, Ohio to spend Thanksgiving with her brother, Mr. Joseph Stanfield, of Champion Avenue, in the old Buckeye State. A young man by the name of Clarence Simms, of the Navy, was in the city last week and was supposed to have left for his ship. His body was found today near Troutsville, in the woods, with a pistol gripped in his hand and a bullet hole through his head. The old reliable M. Stanfield and the boy, Master Harry Alexander will place The Planet where they are to go in under or about your door. It is reported that the Influenza is again on the increase in the city. It is very necessary that all men, everywhere look well to the surroundings and find refuge in the Cross of Calvary, which is sure. W. R. Bannister and a bunch left this morning about ten o'clock and returned to the city from Bedford County with twenty rabbits—some huntsmen around Roanoke.

LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER Who are to make up the Negro Race of tomorrow? Who are the men and women to be? Why, of course, they are the boys and girls of today. Then the big question comes. What will the race be? Unless there is a great change, I wonder what will become of this race when the present boys and girls become men and women? God only knows and I hope and pray that He will lay His mighty hand on them, guildo and direct them that they may not forget that there is a God. It seems that a greater number of our young people, even to the very small boy and girl, are more impressed with the things that will keep them from being somebody and from doing something that will be a credit to themselves and the race, than they are with the things that will help bring about great results. The streets are full of children at night, boys and girls—and alone—as late as eleven o'clock, where they hear and see all kinds of things that they should not know at eighteen and twenty years of age. What do we expect the race to be? How can they be anything that any people would be proud to live among? Who is to blame? Don't ask that question. Who kept you at home and in your place, when you, who are now mothers and fathers, were children? Who made you stay in school—those of you who had a chance at school? Who saw to it that you attended Sunday School and Church? Who saw to it that you got to bed by nine o'clock every night and know that you were at home and not roaming the street? Well then, that's whose fault it is now, that the children are not what they should be. Start them right and they will get used to doing right and when they are older they will keep it up and in your old days, they will make you proud. Mrs. Mickey Attkins, of Fourth Avenue, N. W. has returned from a few days visit to her friend, Mrs. Fannie Joplin, at Willeco, W. Vn, and reports a great time in the coal fields. Mrs. Attkins is expecting Mrs. Joplin for the week-end in Roanoke. Mr. and Mrs. Joplin are old Roanokers, but Mr. Joplin has been in West Virginia for several months, where he is holding a position with one of the large companies and making good. All who missed hearing Dr. C. N. Granderson, last Sunday morning at Mt. Zion Church missed the treat of their lives. All those in love should have heard this great sermon from the text, "God so loved the world." Dr. Granderson claims that most of us know nothing about love and I say__Amen! Last Sunday was Men's Day at Hill Street Baptist Church, and in the afternoon, Mr. Wicks, in charge of the program, had for the people, Lawyer A.J. Oliver, Dr. E. R. Dudley and Major W. B. F. Crowell, all on same program—some combination—and it was hard to tell who should have the dog. The sexton had to turn the lights on the last speaker (and they spoke in order named above) so that's a hint to all in the future, to either have just one of these gentlemen at a time, or have an all day affair or a three days' run and invite them, or will be continuous, no stops or waits. And they all stopped by saying they were not wound up, but just stopped to give the other follow a chance. But it was a fine meeting and a neat sum was lifted to be turned in the general church fund. Miss Nellie Myers, of Fourth Avenue, N. W., an invalid, but the jollest girl in town, plays fine string music, guitar, mandolin and does fancy needle work. She can hardly be equalled. She is Jolly Nellie every time you meet her—spreading sunshine all the white. Look out, here comes the Hogs. Tell you all about it next week. Yours. LITTLE WILLIE.

To Mr. Miller, I said, "Do you consider yourself the equal of the Rev. C. in Scriptural facts?"

Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir,—I am afraid that it is beyond the average mind to even imagine the greatness of the times in which we are living, nor can the most enlightened properly distinguish the mysteries from the common and for that reason am must do of unbelief that the mystery of the age be revealed to the faithful. Then, I say, do not lose courtesy, those who have faith! It is the weak heart that causes the truth to unfold so slowly to the world. But suffer it to say that I am still using the tools which were given me many years ago. And look yonder at the effect! So where now is Mr. J. E. Bruce, of New York City?—who in his constant half protesting and half lamentations, decided that "the white (or Anglo-Saxon) race had prepared a heavenly exclusively for themselves and none other were permitted to enter, ever how virtuous!" I told him then that the keys were yet in the hands of the descendants of Ethiopia and the authority to enter was with them. The Anglo-Saxons had barred the doors where the rightful keys could not prevail. There was one among them who had the authority to break open the doors and remove their bars. So, now, listen! The doctrine of Monroe, which was one of the universal pro-slavery dreams of all the inner circle of the Virginians of a certain order, has gone! We also realize the position which the editor of The Planet holds, relative to these things, but as he is also in the gloom of Virginia's tradition and semi-Scotch superstitions about their superiority as a race, I in the name of God, take pleasure in telling you of a God, who is greater than the one who has respect for race superiority! And this God, whom I have been trying to tell you about, has proclaimed against the Lily-Whites!—inasmuch as He promised to dethrone kings for that One which He has anointed and which is of confusive descendance. Here I have lifted the veil and wonder if you have detected the beauty of the sculpture, therefore I say, after what I heard said, to give comfort to those who lamentated, "Walt children! Walt children! Walt children!" Now I have spoken plain. Behold I tell you again, that we are upon the threshold of a millennium, and as the Monroe doctrine was first cast aside by those who created and propagated it most, without them even taking notice of their deed, so shall it be in many other things. Those women of the South, who have excited the world to lynch, kill and terrorize the darker races, shall become strongest advocates for social equality between the two extreme races, in the United States! And they will not realize how it came about until they shall be reminded what is being transpired. But with the gravity of the questions involved all will be thrown aside for my idea of absolute social equality to all men, under similar conditions. Be cause without this bedrock of brotherhood, your nation can not stand, but crumble into infinite factions! "United we stand and divided we fall!" Perhaps this will preserve us a nation. Segregation must go or the flag shall not continue in its place. England turned mad too, just a few years ago, and called an international conference to inquire of men how the Anglo-Saxon race should treat all the rest of the world. And now she is getting the answer from a God, whom she had overlooked in her pride. And He is going to keep on answering her until the "bars and stripes" are replaced by another flag in London and a strange language shall be heard in the courts of that city. Then a poet will proclaim, "Let us treat others as we wish ourselves to be treated, as token of our devotion to God!" And this poet will be possessed with the spirit of one John MacDonald, who was called crazy once and lived in Liverpool, England. My God is not dead nor is He a coward. He is able with the soft wind or the bright light of the sun, to defeat every foe and silence every gun on the whole line of battle in Europe. Then what should we expect should He choose a more fierce means of destroying His enemies? Then remember that I am still doing for you all I can, because to do more would to terrorize the very children of the promise. Nogroes must be reconsidered as unqualified American citizens and given all the merited considerations of such. Nor should they ever again listen to any trattor who tries to separate them from all or any of the duties and rewards of such, whether in the time of peace or war. The colored child should have all of the best possible chance and education afforded an American citizen, and the race must be duly represented in every governmental department, whether electoral or appointive. Ignorant parents and undermining cowards should no more have the liberty of setting the limits for the education and affiliations of a generation who are to be called upon to take their lives in their hands and perform such duties as the coward hearts of their adversaries could not perceive of. Children of the soil should be permitted to mutually enjoy all the good which it produces. So let Negroisms and Lily-Whitism too be cast to the four winds and come together and stand together as pure Americans. For in the near future you will have need for all the education and Americanism possible. Some of the leading men of the country have already begun to think that the country is being tried for its worth, but I say, just wait a while longer. When the great European War is over then shall the American trouble begin and then will that Lily-Whiteism and Anglo-Saxon domination be crushed into a phantom, likewise the Monroe Doctrine. For私有社会 equality to all under similar conditions, I am, Very respectfully yours, I. S. MOORE MAY CRITICISE TRUCE TERMS. Says Admission of Germany's Weakness Was Grave Mistake. HAD A PLAN FOR PARLEY. Was Told There Was No Time To Wait Owing To Situation at Front. Copenhagen, Nov. 17.—The former Imperial German Chancellor Prince Maximilian of Baden, has issued a pamphlet in which he writes: "My peace policy was entirely up set by the proposal for an armistice, which was handed to me in complete form upon my arrival in Berlin. I fought against it for practical and political reasons. It seemed to me a grave mistake to allow the first step toward peace to be accompanied by such an amazing admission of Germany's weakness. "Neither the enemy powers nor our own people regarded our military situation such as to make desperate measures necessary. I propose that the Government as a first measure should state exactly its programme of war aims and demonstrate to the world our agreement with President Wilson's principles and our readiness to undergo heavy national sacrifices to fulfill these principles. I was told in reply that there was not time to wait for the effect of such a statement and that the situation at the front demanded that a proposal for an armistice should be made within twenty-four hours, to be supported by publication of the names of a new and unimpeachable government. A week later the military authorities informed me that they had been mistaken in the judgment they had formed concerning the situation at the front on October 1. Prince Max says he informed the Emperor it would have an important effect if the Emperor decided to abdicate of his own free will, as by so doing he would probably be able to save the country from serious disturbances, but other important circles tried to convince the Emperor that his abdication would be the signal for the breaking up of the German front.

Washington, D. C.—Senate Republicans, gathered in the largest conference that has been known in many months, demanded that the Congress assume at once its full legislative duties and bring to a speedy end the direction of the Government from the other end of Pennsylvania avenue. Party leaders insisted that the Executive rule of the country halt. This idea was expressed pointedly in a resolution which said: "Resolved that the Congress shall assert and exercise its normal and constitutional functions, including legislation necessary for reconstruction." After a long discussion the conference adopted in slightly modified form the substance for the Weeks plan, calling for the creation of six non-partisan committees to deal with reconstruction problems. TO BE JOINT COMMITTEES As created the committee will have equal representation of the two houses of Congress and equal representation of the two political parties. Following are the bodies advocated: Demobilization of the army and navy. Foreign trade and commerce. Interstate transportation. Domestic business. Employers' and employees' relations. Natural resources of the nation. In the discussion the Republicans made it plain that the principal object of their meeting was not party reorganization in the Senate. The subject of forthcoming committee assignments when the Senate reverts to control of the Republicans was not discussed. Those matters will be left for later deliberations. The discussion leading to the caucus decision went in detail into the present evident tendencies of the Administration of President Wilson to citing to all special war powers powers given to the legislative branch of the Government to the executive branch by reason of the exigency of the war. WANT IMMEDIATE ACTION. It was determined that this tendency should be combatted in Congress not only after the Republicans assume control, but immediately, in view of existing conditions as most recently manifested in the seizure of the cable lines by Postmaster General Burleson. One detail of the internal policy of the Senate considered was the questionable retention on the rolls of the Senate of the name of Senator Martin (Kentucky). Senator Curtis (Kansas) the Republican whip, stated after the conference that he had been authorized to ask unanimous consent in the Senate Thursday for referring to the Committee on Privileges and Elections the question of Mr. Martin's right to retain his seat subsequent to an election at which it would have been possible for his successor to have been elected. Plans for selecting the committee chairman and for organizing the House were made, calling for fair distribution of both honors and responsibilities. Leaving the Speakership aside, it is planned to name the Committee on Committees at a large conference of Republican members representing every faction of the party and every shade of thought. MERIT TEST FOR CHAIRMEN. The Committee on Committees will then apply the merit system to committee appointments. Seniority on committees will not be the only test for chairmanship, it was promised today, if another member of the committee on the Republican side is better fitted for the task than the oldest member. The Republicanians realize, though, that they will have to be extremely careful to avoid centering control of committees in one section of the country. This is one of the strongest criticisms of the present Democratic organization, which, following the practice of elevating the ranking member of a committee when the chair is vacant, has given North Carolina and Tennessee the control of eight of the powerful House Committees. It is not only in relation to the House alone that the Committee on Committees must be extremely careful, it was pointed out. HOUSE AGREES WITH POLICY. If Senator Penrose (Pennsylvania) finally is made chairman of the Finance Committee the aspirations of Representative J. Hampton Moore (Pennsylvania) for chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee would necessarily be non-productive because the Republicans would be only repeating the Democratic mis take of placing Senator Simmons, (North Carolina) at the heads of the respective Senate and House committees which control revenue legislation. The plan of the Senate Republicans to disregard the unwritten seniority rule is acceptable to the House leaders, it was learned today. This it felt would eliminate the chief protest against the seniority rule. $300.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

AT THE NATION'S METROPOLIS Negro Company to Produce Film Entitled "Our Fighters" Will Show Negro Troops in Action—Henry F. Downing Heads Firm—Colored Artists Entertain Mrs. Andrew J. Peters, wife of the Mayor of Boston—Mme. C. J. Walker Recently visits Boston—Noted Race Woman takes active part in movement making for the betterment of the Race. --- 2 West 131 Street New York N. Y. November 22, 1918. In order that the colored people throughout country might have an opportunity to see the colored troops who fought so nobly in France in action. The Committee of Public Information has entered into contract with the Downing Film Company, made up of representative colored business men to show a film entitled "Our Colored Fighters" and which gives an accurate and life-size description of the troops in action. The film portrays the colored soldiers en route to the cantonments his training in camps; his embarkation; and his actual landing in France; and then in the scene of action. The company which is headed by Hon. Henry F. Downing has opened an office at the Astor Theatre Building and hopes to organize companies throughout the country where the film will be shown. The company is anxious to organize the churches, the fraternal organizations as well as colored schools throughout the country, so that young people of the race may have an opportunity to see the valor of the colored men. The picture will be shown for the first time in this city on Friday evening December the 6, and the people of this city are looking forward to it with much delight. The picture can be had by writing either to the Astor Theatre building or to the branch office at 2305 Seventh avenue. Cities throughout the South will do well to write for terms and the picture would be an ideal thing to show in connection with the History class in some of the Southern colleges. The pictures will be welcomed throughout the country; and in this time following the great period of reconstruction it will do much to instill into the hearts of the growing members of the race a feeling of high or patriotism for the race. When your correspondent saw Mr. Downing last week he said that he hoped that the picture would be seen by every tree man and woman through out the country. COLORED ARTISTS ENTERTAIN WIFE OF MAYOR OF BOSTON Information has reached this bureau that Mrs. Andrew J. Peters, the wife of the Mayor of Boston, was splendidly entertained recently by a company of well trained colored artists in Boston and that the guests in included some of the most prominent people of the city of Boston. The pro program was made of songs, dances, dramatic readings and other selections and was pronounced by Mrs. Peters as one of the finest entertainmeats that she has listened to. It was headed by Mrs. Mary Ross-Dorsey the well known elocutionist of Boston. Mrs. Dorssey who is said to be one of the most gifted readers of the race provided a program that won for her new laurels and gave her a new place in the literary life of Boston. She was supported by the Misses Dorothy Ladum, at the piano Mildred Diton, soloist; Imogene Roundtree dancer; Mildred Sutton, violinist; and George Ruffin tenor. Mrs. Dorssey is now visiting in New York and will make her first appearance in recital in this city on Friday evening December 6, when she appears at the Manhattan Casino under the auspices of the Committee of Publie Information. She will doubless be greeted by a large gathering on that date. Mme, C. J. WALKER TAKES KEEN INTEREST IN TACE MATTERS Mine. C. J. Walker the noted race woman and whose rise to fame has produced one of the most interesting stories of the times, is now resting at her New York home, and is taking a keen interest in all matters as they relate to the development of the race. Mine. Walker is especially interested in the problems confronting the women of the race and where ever she can say a word to spur them up to action and to remind them of their duty towards themselves and race she always does it. During the last campaign she took a keen interest in the political situation, and urged the women of this city to exercise their franchise and to vote for those measures that will bring about a better economic and industrial condition for the race and assist in fight ing down some of the things that con front us as a people especially the infamous Jim-Crow cars and other unjust discrimination that confronts them. Mine, Walker has now become a Socialist and believes that in that party the colored people throughout the country can attain their just rights. She admires its broad plat form and during the last campaign here she outhusiasm urged the race to stand by this party and make it one of the strongest of the great parties of the country. She feels very keenly all of the problems that confront the race and believes that just in proportion as the race develops in dustrially will it be in a better position to demand its rights. Mine, Walker has done much to inspire the young women of the race to a higher place in life and shows what it is possible for any young what it is possible for any young er grit and determination. Her New York home which is located in West 136 street is one of the show places in this city and members of the race who visit here should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing both her town house and beautiful summer villa on the Hudson. She may be well called the First Lady of the Race. HAMPTON DEFEATS HOWARD. (By W. Everett Clark.) Hampton, Va.,—The S. A. T. C., of Howard University went down in defeat before the S. A. T. C. of Hampton Institute in Washington on November 16. A large crowd of "fans witnessed the football clash. The game started promptly at two thirty. In the early part of the playing it seemed as though the old strategy of the Washingtonians would win out. A safety in the first quarter gave them three points. The tenacity of the Hampton line, however prevented any more scoring in the first half of the game. HAMPTON'S TOUCHDOWN. The second half was Hampton's half. The determination with which the "Sensiders" started towards the Howard goal was very reassuring to the supporters of Hampton. Nelson, when he reached the center of the field, succeeded in making a forward pass to Badby for a twenty-five yard gain. Before the third quarter was over "Bull-dog" Williams had carried the ball across for the only touchdown. The goal was not kicked. As the end of the game drew near the Howardites grew more and more desperate. Long forward passes were repeatedly tried—only to be broken up. In the last quarter the Hampton line proved its ability to hold. The superb work of Nelson's toe was of great value then. HOWARD PLAYS WELL Although the Howard team lost, they lost fighting. The unusually good work of Green and Love in the Howard backfield was very noticeable. The whole Hampton team has im proved since the Lineback game owing to the persistent work of the coach as Lieut. John A. Love and John H. Harvey. The work ' Bradby; ' O'Brien and Scott on the Hampton line and Net son and ' Bull-dog' Williams in the backfield was very good. WANTS THE WORD "NEGRO" ELIMINATED. Cartersville, Va., Nov. 18, 1918. Dear Editor,—Please allow me space to say through your columns, I have just been reading some remarks made by Judge McCants Steward, of Liberia with reference to the word "Negro" and it being spelled with a small "n." I do so much agree with what he says for I have always disliked the word spelled with a capital "N." Not that it had reference to color (for I am certainly glad I am brown-skin) but because it is so close akin to the word "nigger" and this is defined as being any low principled fellow, black or white. If this name could go, it will mean some humiliation out of the road of our coming generation. Putting it out seems an easy task—just don't use it ourselves. Leave it out of our class rooms and our homes and it will go. I also saw through your columns sometime ago that some of the Afro-Americans have begun to pray in the White House. Because the Germans have been whipped and there are signs of peace this great beginning had better not be stopped, but become nationwide as far as we are concerned. The God of Creation has lifted His hand a little but it is still over us and supreme trust in Him is our only way out. To us, the colored race, the clouds have a beautiful golden edge, but it is going to take prayers and supplications to bring forth the noonday. Let us not appeal to any man with just a soul in his body, but let us still agonize to that Spirit whose fullness fills the earth and the heavens and to those who know Him. He may be heard in the rustling of the wind, the mutterings of the thunder and seen in the fiery lightning and the very heavens declare His glory. Yours for humanity, MARTHA J. MINOR.

Declares America Proud of Her Brave Colored Troopers and That They Hold Nation's History In Their Hands—War Warmly Greeted and Gains Much First-Hand Information. SOME HUMAN INTEREST STORIES OF NEGRO BATTLEDS ON THE FIRING LINE. (By Ralph W. Tyler) Accredited Representative of the Committee on Public Information. Somewhere in France—With a gasoline can as a rostrum, Secretary of War Baker, in the course of his inspection tour over here addressed an audience of more than 2000 colored steward troops during their lunch hour. The speech as well as the entire stage seating was highly informal. Part of the Secretary's audience lay sprawled upon the roof of a half-finished warehouse overlooking the local gasoline can and nearly all of them went on launch- BE EFFICIENT A MRS. W. H.

The Secretary told the men how proud the people — all the people home were of them, and especially how proud their own race was of them. He told them a couple of short comical stories that quickly surrounded him with an amphitheatre of white teeth all set in a broad smile. When he wound up by telling them that when he got back to America he was going to tell their people how well they had been doing and the big shove they were giving to the army supplies which made it possible for the men as the front to win battles; he got such a a "hand" as only strong and honestly-calloused palus can give a speaker. Both before and after his talk to them, Secretary Baker mingled among the men asking their questions right and left, and thus getting much first-hand information from these colored stevedores. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Secretary's trip among the colored men over here was at Bloss. Here there is a battalion of Class B and C men all of whom had been wounded in action and many of whom proudly wore the Croix de Guerre or the D. S. C. They were lined up for inspection together with their splendid band, also composed of B. and C. men. The Secretary would not consent to their being introduced to him but as he put it: "It is an honor to be introduced to you." From the middle of the boxing ring and bandstand combined which is the pride of the Blois camp, Mr. Baker told them how much their efforts had been appreciated by the nation; how greatly the nation was indebted to them; and how they all of them—would be marked men in their comunities throughout their entire lives for the service they had rendered their country in time of urgent need. "In after years," he said men will come home to their families and tell with pride and with a glow upon their faces, how they had met and fought with valiant fighting colored men at Belleau Wood, at Chateau Thierry; at Soissons on the Vesle and at Champagne." Concluding Secretary Baker said to these colored troopers: "The history of America is in your hands for you have enlarged it and helped to make it what it is today—a thing to fill every American with pride." COLORED PEOPLE IN THE WAR WORK CAMPAIGN. It will be several weeks before a final statements can be made as to the part Negroes of Virginia played in The United War Work Campaign for $170,500,000. It can be said however that wherever leadership with sufficient breadth of vision was found, the Negroes as usual, took cheerfully their part of the responsibility, as shown in the following preliminary report. Each of the one hundred counties of Virginia was reached by organizers and through: correspondence, and definite organizations set up in sixty-five of the counties and thirteen of the cities and towns. These organizations were headed by intelligent and dependable men and women of the race as chairmen. Included in this number were ministers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, demonstration agents, farmers and many other useful citizens, each too busy and too broad to stop long enough to cavil over questions of denomination, creed or color. Splendid evidences of this fact are shown in the excellent examples set by such counties, cities, churches, schools and individuals as have already reported. Students and teachers of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg have subscribed $1,036.50. Students and teachers at. Union University have already gone over the $4,000 mark and are working hard to reach a higher one. At St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, over $200 have been subscribed and efforts there are being continued to increase this amount. The young men at Bishop Payne Divinity School gave $38. One of the finest evidences of sacrificial giving was shown at Peake's Industrial Home for Colored Girls, of which Mrs. Harris Barrett is President. A certified check for $35 was sent in as their offering to this worthy cause BE AN AGENT FOR THE EXCELSIOR HAIR PREPARATIONS SPECIAL OFFER!

So far as known the colored people of Charlotte County and the city of Fredericksburg were the first to raise their quotas and will perhaps double it before their final reports are submitted. Colored citizens of Richmond have already subscribed almost $29,000 and additional reports are being received daily. Among the churches and individuals taking a definite part in the campaign as such are: First Baptist Church, $45; Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, $10.57; Second Baptist Church, 100; Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, $1,000; Dr. D. A. Ferguson, $100. Other schools, cities churches, counties and individuals of Virginia belong in the classes mentioned above and when final reports are made they will be found in the ranks. As State Director of the Colored Division of the United War Work Campaign, I wish to congratulate each one who has helped in any way to make the campaign a success, the benefits of which will far outlive our span of years.
