Your many years of experience as a successful journalist and business manager as sure me that you do not need approval or commendation on anything you may say or do, yet I lift "myself thanking you for the editorship of February 9, 1919, on the "Negroes and the, Sunday Meetings." Sir, I wanted to see if some of the brothers, who age more in the lime light in this city, state and country would have sent a word of congratulation. Failing to see this, I venture to do so. I feel that when at editor champions our cause and says something worthy of consideration, he ought to be, encouraged. Will you permit me to say, I ap prove most heartily your editorial and endorse every word therein an accountant you for the same? We the colored people, accept something very, very reluctant at the hands of our white friends (2). We are told that no Negro is good enough to drive an ash cart or sweep the streets. Segregated on cars, statues and places of amusement. Fine equipped schools for white and a plenty of them. Very poorly equipped schools for the colored, and a very few of them. I say we see in those conditions very very reluctant, but when it comes to Jim Crow Religion, we back. Please pursue and execute us. The Pastors of Richmond have made no effort to force their presence in the Row Sunday meeting. The very fact that no provision we made for us, told us we were not invited and we have not sought the Sunday Committee. Just why some see will not sit in serving to I do not know. He does us an interview. This is no fight or do no evil full feeling on our part just for peace. To go where we are not want to we'd be so worried and our one we would embarrass the one who do we want to. However we have pleased our lives without any concern on what we do our part. We can not be concern for this situation. May God bless the Billy Sunday Moments and may much good be as complished in the name of J. Jesus. Yours for righteousness. T. J. J. MOSTY.

IF COLORED PEOPLE DON'T HEAR SUNDAY, THEIR PASTORS ARE TO BLAME, COMMITTEE'S STATEMENT. Chairman of Local Arrangements Writes News Leader of Offer That Were Made, All of Which Were Declined. (Richmond News Leader, Feb. 18.) As chairman of the Evangelist Sunday campaign committee, Dr. Ruseff Coil today made a statement to The News Leader relating to discussions as to the participation of the colored people in the Sunday meetings, the concluding sentence of which reads: "If the colored people fail to enjoy the privileges of Mr. Sunday's preaching, the responsibility for that failure must rest upon the masters of the colored churches." The statement details trustless efforts of the committee to reach an agreement with the colored pastors. Editor News Leaders "Touching the attitude of the Sunday meetings to the colored people of our city, I feel that a plain statement of the facts should be made for the information of the public. In the very beginning of the movement, some four or five years ago, to invite Mr. Sunday to hold meetings in Richmond, it was designed to offer the colored population of the city the privileges of attending his services. "At every meeting of the committee of invitation, the person of which has been changed from time to time, this matter has been discussed and various measures have been proposed as to the best way to meet the difficulties in the way of providing accommodations for both white and colored people in such a variety of meetings. At every visit to Mr. Sunday meeting to his couring the question was discussed by him and, always aware of himself as currently deciding to touch to the colored people white to our city. "On account of the war, the purpose to entertain a telephone for Mr. Sunday to be received, and when he agreed to come if we could accommodate the situation, we were confronted with the embarrassment of limited accommodation, but the committee moved for a separate contact by any thought of occasion the colored people and have power to take any action to that offer." After the Sunday party presided Riemann, Mr. Sunday himself was sailed about the matter, and a competition, consisting of H. H. Pritz of the Sunday party; of K. McKee- d and Russell Cock, met with the Muni- sterial Alliances of the colored people Monday, December 27, and offer d them a section in the auditorium and the room, special meetings at night, in which the colored people might have use of the entire building. At this meeting of the committee with the colored alliances, all denominations in the city were represented except the coed Baptist churches "The colored ministers present received the committee very courteously, but said in substance that they "It they had been discriminated against in not being invited at the beginning to write with the Minister's Union in the invitation to Mr. Sunday and in not being asked to here the expense of the meetings, and that after the meetings began "of the colored ministers had been refused admission to the auditorium, and they therefore, courteously but very positively declined to accept the privileges offered to them by the committee. "They were assured that no action had been taken by the committee excluding them from the service, and that no order had been given by the committee that colored people should not be admitted, and that the committee was in no sense responsible for the incident that had occurred. "This committee reported back to the general committee in charge of the Sunday campaign, and after full consideration of the matter at a meeting February 3, the committee passed the following resolution which was introduced by Dr. George W. McDaniel, pastor of the First Baptist Church; "Resolution." Entertaining, the most fraternal reward for our colored location in Christ, and desiring that they shall enjoy the blessings of the Sunday meetings, we instruct that two tickets be issued to each of the colored pastors (if they desire them) submitting them to seats in the northeast section of the main floor, and furthermore, we express our sincere respect that the seating capacity of the auditorium is inadequate to seat more of our colored people, and we express the home and purpose to arrange for special services in the auditorium where large numbers may hear Mr. Sunday." "The following committee was appointed to present this resolution to the colored pastors, who were invited to meet with them in the Y. M. C. A. building at Grace and Seventh Streets; George W. McDaniel, Jacob Umlauf, Wado C. Smith, Russell Cecil and H. H. Pittzer. This TIME IS FLEETING-KEEP POSTED PRICE, FIVE CENTS Joint meeting was held February 6, and fourteen of the colored ministers were present. "Dr. McBrienel and Mr. Pitzer were not able to be present, but the other members of the committee met with the coed pastor and presented the resolution of invitation. A full and free discussion of the whole matter was entered into, and the colored ministers given full liberty to express themselves. "More than two hours were occupied in the discussion. They presented the same objections that had been presented by the colored Ministerial Alliance, and declined to accept the invitation. The committee told them that it would be necessary for us to publish the resolution for the information of the public. They asked that an opportunity be given them to make an explanation of their position to which the committee cheerfully acceded. "They took a copy of the resolution and appointed a committee of their own number to explain their position, but at least ten days have now cleared and we have heard nothing from them. I feel, therefore, that this resolution should be published, with a statement of the facts. "The invitation to the colored people still remains open, and if they desire a meeting, I am sure that Mr. Sunday will be glad to preach to them." "I wish to say again most earnestly that no thought, suggestion, word or resolution has ever been before the committee looking to or proceeding the excluding of the colored people from the Sunday meetings but it has been and is now the most earnest desire of all of us that they shall have the privileges of these services. "The course of the committee has been consistent throughout, and I do not see how it could be different if we work, to go over the whole matter really. We have certainly been conciousness and kind in our desire to meet the embarrassment of the situation. If the colored people fail to enjoy the privileges of Mr. Sun's preaching, the rejoiceable for that failure must rest upon the tattors of the colored churches. RUSSELL C. H. Bidhamard, Va. Feb. 18, 1939." Richmond, Va. 11 February 19, 1919 Col. William M. Moore Director of Department of Public Safety. Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir, I see by the afternoon daily papers of yesterday that Rev. Dr. Russell Creek, chairman of the Richmond Sunday Committee makes the statement that "the committee notice for a single moment had any thought of excluding the co-ord- people and have never taken any action to that effect." I am much as police officers were stationed at the City Auditorium and colored people, who attempted to en- tor the building were ordered away by them. I shall be oblited to you to inform me by whose authority or order was taken at the request of any member of the committee or by any official with authority so to do. A prompt reply will be appreciated. With sincere regard, I am. Very truly yours. JOHN MITCHELL, JR REV. HECTOR BACK IN WAR WORK Rev. A. A. Hector, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, corner Monroe and Catherine Streets has again been called to the Army Y M C A A service and will be located at Camp Upton, N. Y. Dr. Hector had returned from Camp Upton during the Xmas season and resumed his duties in the congregation.

Little Sergeant of "Black Watch" Mr. Whistler was all wrong when he said in his "Ten o'clock" lectures that the most beautiful "tone" in a world of love liness was to be found on a river front at twilight, "with lights reflected in the water." Mr. Whistler would have changed his mind had he been at West Fifty-fifth street and the North River shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday foronow when a shade colored ship striped with yellow and officially known as the Swedish American Inner Stockholm—topheavy with granning and beribboned back troops—warped in to her pier through a sifting flurry of white snowflakes that softened the whole mass of green and red Croix de Guerre trimmings and the red and white Distinguished Service Cross rib bons into a neutral blue-gray tone that Mr. Whistler loved. Appropriately the troops docked and stepped on a pier at the south western slope of that upstanding part of the midriff of western Manhattan known as San Juan Hill—appropriately because the troopers were boarded the Stockholm were made up chiefly of the refinement at two fisted Black Sailors known originally to Manhattan as the Fifteenth Regiment (colored), N.

White officers and black privates finally had shim mited themselves into a shimmering khafi gray mass, so coagulated that it was next to impossible to note in individual celebrities where the atoms of the masses were all celebrities. To begin with, the whole darned black and white regiment which is at most completely black had been decorated with the Croix de Guerre Also decorations clinked on every deck of individual crosses and other metallic decorations clinked on every deck of the Stockholm so steadily that the whole skin made one think of the back room of a branch Corn Exchange Bank when the boys are counting up in the late afternoon, after the shades have been drawn. Even the boss of the regiment, ex Public Service Commissioner Bill Haywood was so thoroughly swamped to the cars in a flood of French war crosses, wound stripes, crutches, far flung bouquets, service stripes, happy tears and medals and everything that nothing could be learned on the pier about him, further than the fact that he was the founder and Colonel of the mighty regiment. SALVATION LASSIE TO RESCUE Movie men were clicking Bill. His modest protests were drowning out the click of the cameras. Red Cross girls were stifling him with chewing gum.

Sir, I waited to see if some of the brothel who are more in the lime light in this city, state and country would have sent a word of congratulation. Failing to see this I venture to do so, I feel that when an editor champions our cause and saves something worthy of consideration, he ought to $b_0$ encouraged. Will you permit me to say, I approve most heartily your editorial and endorse every word therein and compiment you for the same?

Segregated on cars, stations and places of amusement. Fine equipped schools for white and a plenty of them. Very poorly equipped schools for the colored, and a very few of them. I say we accept these conditions very very reluctantly, but when it comes to Jim Crow Religion, we balk. Please pardon and excuse us. The Pastors of Richmond have made no effort to force their presence in the Rev. Sunday meetings. The very fact that no provision was made for us, to tell us we were not wanted and we have not sought the Sunday Committee. Just why some one will persist in saying so I do not know. He does us an injustice. There is no fight or desire or even ill feeling on our part against any one. To go where we are not war would embarrass us and our presence would embarrass those who do not want us. Hence we have absentee ourselves without any agitation what ever on our part. We can not account for this agitation. May God bless the Billy Sunday Meetings and may much good be accomplished in the name of Jesus.

Dr. Russell Cecil today made a statement to The News Leader relating to discussions as to the participation of the colored people in the Sunday meetings, the concluding sentence of which reads: "If the colored people tail to enjoy the privileges of Mr. Sunday's preaching, the responsibility for that failure must rest upon the pastors of the colored churches." The statement details fruitless efforts of the committee to reach an agreement with the colored pastors. "Editor News Leader: Touching the attitude of the Sunday meetings to the colored people of our city, I feel that a plain statement of the facts should be made for the information of the public, in the very beginning of the movement, some four or five years ago, to invite Mr. Sunday to hold meetings in Richmond, it was designed to offer the colored population of the city the privileges of attending his services. "At every meeting of the committee of invitation, the personnel of which has been changed from time to time, this matter has been discussed and various measures have been suggested as to the best way to meet the difficulties in the way of providing accommodations for both white and colored people in such a series of meetings. At every visit made to Mr. Sunday previous to his coming the question was discussed with him and he always expressed himself as earnestly desiring to preach to the colored people white in our city. "On account of the war, the purpose to erect a tabernacle for Mr. Holmes had to be re-qualified, and when he agreed to come if we could use and improve the seating capacity of the city auditorium, we were confronted with the enbarkment of limited accommodations, but the committee never for a single moment had any thought of excluding the colored people and have never taken any action to that effect." "After the Sunday party reached Richmond, Mr. Sunday himself was consulted about the matter, and a committee, consisting of H. H. Pittzer, of the Sunday party; S. K McKeen and Russell Cecil, met with the Ministerial Alliance of the colored people Monday, January 27, and offered them a section in the auditorium and also some special meetings at night, in which the colored people might have use of the entire building. At this meeting of the committee with the colored alliance, all denominations in the city were represented except the colored Routtist churches. "The colored ministers present received the committee very courteously, but said in substance that they felt they had been discriminated against in not being invited at the beginning to unite with the Minister's Union in the invitation to Mr. Sunday and in not being asked to share the expense of the meetings, and that after the meetings began one of the colored ministers had been refused admission to the auditorium, and they therefore, courteously but very positively declined to accept the privileges offered to them by the committee. "They were assured that no action had been taken by the committee excluding them from the service, and that no order had been given by the committee that colored people should not be admitted, and that the committee was in no sense responsible for the incident that had occurred. "This committee reported back to the general committee in charge of the Sunday campaign, and after full consideration of the matter at a meeting held February 3, the committee passed the following resolution which was introduced by Dr. George W. McDaniel, pastor of the First Baptist Church: "Resolution — 'Entertaining the most fraternal regard for our colored brothen in Christ, and desiring that they shall enjoy the blessings of the Sunday meetings we instruct that two tickets be issued to each of the colored pastors (if they desire them) admitting them to seats in the northeast section of the main floor, and, furthermore, we express our sincere regret that the seating capacity of the auditorium is inadequate to seat more of our colored people, and we express the hope and purpose to arrange for special services in the auditorium where large numbers may hear Mr. Sunday." "The following committee was appointed to present this resolution to the colored pastors, who were invited to meet with them in the Y. M. C. A. building at Grace and Seventh Streets: George W. McDaniel, Jacob Umlaut, Wade C. Smith, Russell Cecil and H. H. Pitzer. This PRICE, FIVE CENTS joint meeting was held February 6, and fourteen of the colored ministers were present. "Dr. McDaniel and Mr. Pitzer were not able to be present, but the ether members of the committee met with the colored pastors and presented the resolution of invitation. A full and free discussion of the whole matter was entered into, and the colored ministers given full liberty to express themselves. "More than two hours were occupied in the discussion. They presented the same objections that had been presented by the colored Ministerial Alliance, and declined to accept the invitation. The committee told them that it would be necessary for us to publish the resolution for the information of the public. They asked that an opportunity be given them to make an explanation of their position to which the committee cheerfully acceded. "They took a copy of the resolution and appointed a committee of their own number to explain; their position, but at least ten days have now clapped and we have heard nothing from them. I feel, therefore, that this resolution should be published, with a statement of the facts. "The invitation to the colored people still remains open, and if they desire a meeting, I am sure that Mr. Sunday will be glad to preach to them. "I wish to say again most earnestly that no thought, suggestion, word or resolution has ever been before the committee looking to or proposing the excluding of the colored people from the Sunday meetings but it has been and is now the most earnest desire of all of us that they shall have the privileges of these services. "The course of the committee has been consistent throughout, and I do not see how it could be different if we were to go over the whole matter again. We have certainly been conscientious and kind in our desire to meet the embarrassment of the situation. If the colored people fail to enjoy the privileges of Mr Sunday's preaching, the responsibility for that failure must rest upon the pastors of the colored churches. RUSSELL CECIL, Richmond, Va., Feb. 18, 1919. Richmond, Va., February 19, 1919 Col. William M. Myers Director of Department of Public Safety. Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir,—I see by the afternoon daily papers of yesterday that Rev. Dr. Russell Cecil, chairman of the Richmond Sunday Campaign makes the statement that "the committee never for a single moment had any thought of excluding the co-owned people and have never taken any action to that effect." Inasmuch as police officers were stationed at the City Auditorium and colored people, who attempted to enter the building were ordered away by them, I shall be obliged to you to inform me by whose authority or order was this done and if this action was taken at the request of any member of the committee or by any official with authority so to do. A prompt reply will be appreciated. With sincere regard, I am, Very truly yours JOHN MITCHELL, JR. REV. HECTOR BACK IN WAR WORK Rev. A. A.

Barco of Virginia Union University. REV. DR. HARVEY JOHNSON SENDS CONGRATULATIONS. 1923 Druid Hill Ave., Baltimore. Md., Feb 11th 1919 My dear Friend and Brother...Lot me congratulate and thank you for that complete analysis of the Trotter, DuBois, etc., matter; for it is the most complete, that I have ever read. And indeed, you have unravelled, un tangled, explained and explored the matter In a manner that in all my reading, I have not crossed. What would we do without our John Mitt shell Jr., to defend us and our cause, against all comers? May He who guides us and in whom we trust, so keep you In the service and bless you, and may you still refuse to take or dors from Boston, New York, or Baltimore, either. Yours sincerely, HARVEY JOHNSON TWO CRACK REGIMENT OF (Continued from First Page) America." Turning to page 1236 of the fat little red volume she first told the world fair that the Colonel guy snothered in decorations and wound stripes was "the son of Judge Monroe Leland and Jane (Pelton) Hayward, his father, M. L. Hayward, having served gallantly in the Fifth New York Cavaliar in the civil war, then wont to Nebraska, where for many years Col. Hayward's father was a circuit judge and finally was elected to the United States Senate from Nebraska." "If you reporters want to know all the details about the Colonel of this Neuro regiment," screamed the Salvation Army lassie above the uproar, "listen while I read slowly from 'Who's Who.' It's your only chance boys, in excitement like this to get the real done on him. Listen: "Hayward, Bill"—I mean William Lawyer, Born Nebraska City—where ever that is—April 29, 1877; grad.

(hysterical cheering) in"— CALL FOR HENRY JOHNSON "Oh, shut up and listen!" ered Blumle of the Salvation. "It says further that Col. Hayward is a member of the Union League—" "Henry Johnson! Where in hell is Sergt. Henry Johnson?" holtered Col. Hayward sticking his chin above his decorations and the noise of bands and cheer and looking over the faces of his devoted black followers. "Lasen, reporters. I'm just a dub. Colonels don't get a chance to do anything. But we have one black boy in this regiment named Henry Johnson, who is the whole war, HENRY JOHNSON—C'MERE!" Henry Johnson came here. Henry was an undersized lad, about the height of Napoleon merely, and black where he wasn't white eyed and swathed with humpy and wrinkled shakl. He parried a rifle with a wicked looking foresight. The mud of France was on his generous boots. Also the rest of Henry was covered with the ribbons of the Croix de Guerre with palm—which meant, in Henry's case, that everything he had done had been read before every French division—the Distinguished Service Cross and some other decoration which in the excitement of the moment couldn't hear its name spoken on. Why Bill Hayward should make so much fuss over Henry Johnson was not evident at first blush, in as much as Henry white has bashfully coming forward had to press through a crowd—to take them at random—which included Major Arthur Little, commander of the First Battalion of Col Bill Hayward's regiment, Major Little wearing a Croix de Guerre, with the army citation (palm), the corps citation (sold star) and the division citation (sl'ver star)—in other words the first, second and third (highest) citations of the fight that go with the War Cross of France. MANY HEROES IN THRONG And while pressing forward Sergeant Henry Johnson also clinked against Major Lordlord Spencer of Bill Hayward's regiment, who was invalided home almost three months ago, but still had to hobble to the West Fifth fifth street pier on crutches yesterday, the Distinguished Service Cross dangling from Major Spencer's tunic. And there were Capt. Seth B. MacClinton of Bill Hayward's regiment—the Captain also wearing the Croix de Guerre and rosy checked Lieut. Eugene Klinnard who had distinguished himself extraordinarily, and, by actual count, one dusky skid wearing the decoration of the Loonon of Honor of France, two decorated with the Distinguished Service Cross and twelve officers and privates with the green and red of the Croix de Guerre on their breasts—all of these being in the grum through which Sergeant Henry had to press. Sergeant Henry Johnson came forward Himping slightly, saluted Col. Bill Hayward and just stood around. "Go ahead, Sergeant," said Bill Hayward, proudly. "Tell 'em." The undersigned Sergeant, Henry Johnson didn't voice the words, but it was evident from his looks that subjectively he was filled with the unsnooked question, "Tell 'em what?" There was an awkward pause, even the racket of the brass bands and the general cheering for the moment having died down. Sergeant Henry Johnson just stood around awkwardly. "Tell us about yourself, Sargo," said an interviewer kindly. "Yes, go ahead, Henry." Col. Hayward added encouragingly. MODESTY HALTS STORY. "Well," said Sergeant Henry John- son, who is the fightingest son of a gun France or any other part of the world over saw, "my name is Henry Johnson and I live at 101 Orange Street, Albany. Me and my wife, Edna live at 101 Orange Street, Albany, when I'm not away at a war. That's who I am and that's all they is. I'm a coal merchant." "Doubtless important but wholly uninteresting," sighed Col. Hayward, "Just take a full, deep breath, Henry, and bust loose about the night of May 5, nineteen eight—and Col. Hayward, not deligning to add the teen," just clicked Henry Johnson's crosses and medals with a goved foregone until Henry clanged like the Swiss bell ringers. But Henry still remained dumb. Everybody from a white Colonel and Lleutonant Colonel down to the humblest black private sted waiting. "Were you wounded in the war, Sergoant?" ventured a very young reporter. "Man, man, man!—was I shot and knifed!" cried Sorgt. Henry Johnson, suddenly coming to life. "Yes, sir. I sure was shot and knifed. Five times I was shot in the evening and twice I got me a couple of bayonet stabs the same night. But I sure did get even with them Dutchmons boys good." "And you're going good now Henry," said Col. Hayward. "Proceed." GREAT DEEDS IN ARGONNE. The interruption caused Henry Johnson to lapse into a disturbed silence again. Another potential Interviewer asked him, just to break the chill, whether or not he ever had killed a German. The entire assemblage of fighting folk, white and black laughed when the question was put. And then upon Sergent Henry Johnson, evidently realizing that he must tell his tale some time, unfolded his epic hurriedly. "Gentlemen," he said, "they aren't much to be told about these here decorations except this; I am out in the Bois de Henry, in the Orgonne, on the night of May 5 last. I'm out on petit post, as they call it in French Me and Needham Roberts—you heard about Needham?—is on this petit post. It's midnight and they send out a relief. "I see right away (me and Needham) that these two relief is very raw. Me and Needham is supposed to go back, but we couldn't see it. We stayed right there, these two reliefs being so raw. Roberts went down in the dugout to take a little sleep, and me, being awake, I hear a rustling. There's more and more rustlines, and I whisper down to Roberts, 'Man, man! Every German Dutchman in the world is going to rush us, Needham!' "Nerves! You got nerves!" Needham Roberts says back up at me. 'They ain't nothing going to rush nobody.' Needham Roberts says, haf a sleep. 'All right, man,' I says back whispering, 'but I sure do hear a lot of German Dutchmen rustling nearer.' "So I get me a pile of hand grenades. I collect thirty one hand groundes in all and I pile them up around me. And I assemble me thirty-one clips of cartridges, French kind, with three in each clip. All the time I hear these Dutchmen rustling closer and closer. 'Man,' I say to Needham Roberts, 'you better wake up pretty soon or you never wake up.' So Needham Roberts wake up and joins me. FOE CREEPS ONWARD "This here rustling and rustling it gets nearer and hearer. About 2 o'clock in the morning I tell the two raw boys sent out to relieve us to go to bed in the mud. They weren't no good, being raw. And then me and Needham we pick up the hand grendes and we begin to throw them. I guess right there I began to fill the little old game bag. "Me and Needham we thrown our hand grendes some time, and then me and Needham says we'll go over the top. This rustling and rustling was getting closer and closer and we could not stand it. So we go over the top in the darkness and we squat. While we squat we throw some more hand grendes. Then we go on a few yards and we squat. We listen a while and we go on and we squat. That's the way we did—we just squat and squat and squat. "And while I'm squatting in a shell hole—Needham, he's squatting somehowers also—I hear one of these Dutchmen say in good English, 'There's the black son of a so and so,' calling me a name, 'Kill him,' this Dutchman says, 'Man,' I says right back, 'if killing is, it ain't me killed.' And I give him everything I had. "I give him all my French clips. Then I tries my American clips, but the American cartridges ain't built for the French gun. So I jammed the works and my rifle is no good. And just when it ain't no good every German Dutchman in the world plied on ton of me. And me without ammunition." ATTACKS WITH HIS BOLO "So you did what, Henry?" 'You ask me what did I do? Man, I pull my good old French bolo knife, that's what I do. 'You come on, you Kaiser and Crown Prince,' I say. And I don't squat, but just run ahead in the dark. And I come down on a fot one and I stick him with my good old French bolo and he grunt and died. Once they got me down and give me the wound in the hand, but I know Co! Hayward's regiment is the best regiment in the war and I know I'm in it and can tick 'em. So I kill what I can and I wound the rest. 'That's all.' By official verification Sergent Henry Johnson, Albany "coal merchant," killed single handed certainly four Germans—perhaps more—and wounded twenty-four gray clad warriors. The number of Germans wounded by little Henry Johnson is put at twenty-four in his lonely night light because twenty-four is the number actually accounted for officially. But officers and men aboard the Stockholm yesterday, who were close by at he time of the mighty private war waged by Henry Johnson, say that they are morally certain that single handed he killed at least six of the enemy and wounded thirty-two. "And were you wounded, John- son?" the reporter who had asked the question in the first place asked again JUST WOUNDED. THAT'S ALL. "Some," said Henry. "I got me a bullet in that fight through the right foot and I got me a bullet through the left foot the same minute. And when I come out of that fight I find I got me a bullet in the right arm and I got in the right thigh and one in the head. And I got me this scar on my lip and two bayonet wounds in my side. I got a silver plate in my foot now and some kind of metals in my arm and a plate on my left ankle. But I'm all right now. I'm better now than when I sailed for France with Col. Hayward." As the crowd melted away from Henry Johnson to seek other celebrities the reporters came upon a slight young man who wore on his overcaps the silver bar of a First Lieutenant and about his arm a wide black band of crepe. He alone of all the men aboard did not seem overwhelmed with the joy of the homecoming. On his tunic he wore the ribbons which showed he had won the Croix de Guerre with Palm and the Distinguished Service Cross. Some one asked him if he were a Manhattanite, "I suppose so," he said uncertainly I don't think it occurred to me during the last few months that I have or haven't a home now—not until we came up the river and I saw the skyscrapers." He was Lleut. Harold M. Landon, it was learned, and he had been in the real estate business when Ameri- ca entered 'the war. Then he had promptly closed his desk and joined Col. Hayward's regiment. At that time his mother, Mrs. Edward M. London a niece of the late Levi P. Morton, former Governor of New New York and Vice President of the United States, and her two daughters were doing Red Cross work in France. MOTHER KILLED IN CHURCH Lient, Landon sailed for France with the old Fifteenth. Shortly after he arrived in France he was sent to a French training camp. On the day before last Easter he saw a French newspaper in which were listed the names of the men, women and children killed by the long range German gun while worshiping in a Paris church on the previous day, Good Friday. Well up on the list of killed were the names of Lient, Landon's mother and two sisters. Lient, Landon went to Paris and saw mother and sisters. Then he went to the front with Col. Hayward's regiment to do real fighting. How well he fought may be judged from the decorations he won. From September 26 to October 1, continuously he worked twenty-four hours a day as a runner, establishing a Haison line in the Champagne under a frightful fire. "Oh. I don't know where my address is now," he said with a sad little smile. "We used to live before the war at 40 East Fifty-first Street, but my sisters and my mother are gone now. Isn't it strange that I should go through all the fighting and come out uninjured and my mother and sisters should be killed? I suppose I shall live at the Yale Club. I don't know. REGIMENT GOES TO UPTON. The Lieutenant and his Colonel, the scarred and decorated blacks they commanded, all of them ate Red Cross rolls and drank Red Cross coffe on the pier for a while. Then they went by tugboat and train to Camp Upton, where they joined the first battalion of the regiment, which arrived here a few days ago. It is probable that Col. Hayward's regiment will be mustered out of the service shortly, but whea the great day arrives when the city turns out to welcome her own and see them march in grand review Col. Hayward and his heroic Negro boys will be on hand for the big shindig. And the statement goes undisputed that the dusky heroes of the "Old Fifteenth" that g.orious day will march down Fifth Avenue through solid walls of noise.—New York Sun.

Danville, Vt. - Defying arrest, and whirling a three and a half foot cavalry sword, Philip Thornton was shot and killed by one of three policemen striving to take him into custody this afternoon. Thornton was suffering from religious contemnia and W. a sword in a scabbed hand, tackled around his waist; he had an ear of the gooar a plant of a local tobacco factory, where he was preaching to the colored men employed there. Word was sent to the courthouse to send off coes to remove him. Sooting the policemen Thorn on became furious and drew his sword, and advanced towards them. W. B. Foster and T. F. Bliev were driven into a corner, where they were dodging the whirling blade. The policemen fired simultaneously, when it seemed as though one of them would be killed. Probably six shots were fired, one penetrating the brain and another the leg. The officers were exonerated by a coroner's jury. The A. M. E.

FEBRUARY 22. 1919 The Allies may be goading Germany on to another war, but from the outlook of things, all wars have gone to the "scrap-pile" for at least twenty years to come. Our colored troops are coming home covered with glory. A nation that looked upon them at one time with disdain is now regarding them with smiling approbation. Colored folks, study the rules of etiquette and the principles of true politeness. This rising generation does not seem to appreciate the importance of this, but those of us who are experienced know that *t* will make life's pathways easy and the road to Heaven a much more pleasant journey to take. President Woodrow Wilson is coming home. He has had trouble in Europe. He will have more trouble in the United States of America at the hands, not only of the politicians but at the hands of those, who honestly disagree with him. When it comes to changing the Constitution of the United States, he is confronted with a proposition that witt consume a decade in its ultimate triumph. --- The Richmond, Va., News-Leader, in its issue of the 15th inst., says: The following interesting statement from Rows, W. T. Johnson and Z. D. Lewis, pastors, respectively of the First and Second African Baptist churches of Richmond was received some days ago, but was overlooked until attent on was directed to it by an article in the Richmond Planet. We regret that we were not able to give it earlier publicity.—Editor. This will be gratifying information not only to our readers, but also to the divines, whose communication will do much to convey to the white people of Richmond, the fundamental reasons why the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity and the Ministerial Alliance declined to accept the special invitation to attend a meeting conducted by the very able Mr. Billy Sunday and his associates. THE CLOUD UPON THE HORIZON The reports from the Peace Conference would seem to indicate that there are evidence of unrest among the allied delegates. The following report will be of interest: The draft of the society of nations plan was then unanimously adopted as a whole. The final draft consists of twenty six articles. President Wilson will personally read the draft to a plenary meeting of the peace conference tomorrow. The conference will not be asked to finally adopt it at this time. The Japanese delegation presented an amendment providing that racial discrimination should not be tolerated in immigration laws. Several delegates urged that this would open such a large question that great delay might ensue, and the matter was dropped without a vote. Just what all of this means can only be surmised. It is plainly evident though that racial discriminations will come before the body again and that it is one of many of the unsettled questions now before the Peace Conference. As a matter of courtesy, the subject was dropped for the time being. Possibly there may be a secret understanding about a matter that calls for the greatest publicity. Those of us who are well informed of the Japanese character and characteristics feel certain that the end is not yet. When this question is raised again and a test vote reached, who doubts, but what Japan will win her point, and be made secure in her contention? The doctrine of caste has received its death-blow in Russia, Germany, Austro-Hungary, Portugal and Ireland. It is possible that its passing away will be heralded in many of the countries in the New World, even in the United States of America, where it has been most firmly entrenched. We are watching with interest the final result of the Peace Conference. Certain it is that Germany made no mistake when it finally got its enemies together around the council chamber table. The unity of action that characterized its deliberations in the past will hardly live through the many, weeks of discussion that are just ahead. Kaiserism is dead in Germany and the death rattle is now observable in the throat of the colossus of race prejudice. "God reigns and the Government at Washington still lives." THE TROUBLE IN PARIS The following Associated Press dis patch from Paris, France will prove interesting reading to all who have watched the situation on. Paris, February 15.—A Pan-African congress is to assemble in Paris February 19 for a three day gess on, with the declared purpose of securing the protection of the natives of Africa and the people of African descent in other countries. Fifty delegates will attend representing the United States, the West, Indies, South and Central America, Africa, Great Britain, Portugal, France, Liberia and Abyssinia, with Negro populations aggregating 157,000,000. Nearly all of the organizations interested in the welfare of the American races, as well as all the colony holding nations, will be represented. It is reported the congress has been called by a committee consisting of Blase Diagne, French deputy from the Sengal; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bo. an American author to on the Negro question, and I. F. Fredericks, of New Guinea. Among the delegates who are coming are the Secretary of State of Liberia and Tortullian Guiband, of Havana. The call for the congress states that the time had come for the interests and welfare of the Negro to be come articulate instead of his relying upon philonthropic effort, and that there can be no stable league of nations unless the Negro's interests are safe guarded. It is peculiar that the announcement of this conference is co-incident with the departure of the distinguished President of the United States, Hon. Woodrow Wilson. Before he left Paris, the Department of State had officially announced that the meeting would not be regarded as opportune at this time. This was equivalent to saying that it would not be held. It was to have met February 12th, 1919, but it did not convene. It has been called by a committee composed of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Blaise Digne and I. F. Fredericks. Dr. Du Bois has already announced that his interests apply primarily to the rights and privileges of the black people in the German colonies. But this call affects colored people in the United States as well as elsewhere. Dr. Du Bois and Col. Roscoe Conklin Simmons went over there as journalists and not as delegat s. The former represents the New York Crisis and the latter, the Chicago Defender. By what scheme of reasoning, the delegates, who were elected by representative Afro-American organization are forced to remain in this country, while those not elected are there representing their interests is a mystery to us. At the last moment Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernigan was permitted to go. It is barely possible that he will arrive in Paris in time for the scheduled meeting. So far as we have been able to ob serve, he is the only representative colored o'tizen, who succeeded in geting across the ocean. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is certainly qualified in every way to represent us and he can lay facts before the Pan-African League that will make the peace dele gates over there "sit up and take notice." but will he $d_0$ this in the face of an Administration that has been so kind to him and endeavored to create for him the office of captain, a position that his "good friends" made it impossible for him to accept? We are wondering too just what part Japan had in causing the French Government to reconsder its determination not to regard with favor the holding of the Pan-African Conference. Premier Clemenceau first permitted the meeting, then he evidently did not permit it and now co-indent with the departure of President Wilson and his "army" of attendants and associates proceeds to permit the meeting to be held. Why are the delegates in this country denied the privilege of attending the sessions and why was Dr. W. H. Jernigan THE RICHMOND FLAMING, BIRMINGHAM, VIRGINIA permitted to take "a flying leap" across the ocean According to what we know of the brilliant Dr. Du Bo S. he is in no position to stand upright in this Pan African Conference and to speak out against the denial of rights and privileges in this country. He can condemn lynchings for the distinguished occupant of the White House and Dr. R. R. Moton and nearly every Governor in this country have done the same thing. Dr. Du Bo S express ed himself as an advocate of the policy not to return the German Afri can colonies to Germany, but to get them up as independent republics. If he proposes to back up Dr. W. H. Jernigan, Editor William Monros Trotter, Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore, Hon. Harry C. Smith, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett and a host of others in their extreme but just views upon this all important question, it would be well for him to make that fact known to the wait ing throng in this country. Certainly under the terms of the call as published, he has the opportunity of a Lifetime to voice our troubles and to demand a hearing at the forum of the world's represents tives. For our part, the situation looks peculiar. If our representatives are to represent the people of Africa, who are quick-witted and venture some, surely, we may be able to appeal to the representatives from Japan to represent the colored peo- ple of the United States of America is there any self-determination for the colored folks of this country? If there is then the people that represents the colored folks of this country should have been permitted to attend the Peace Conference and Pan-African Conference in order that they might voice their desires in their own language and in a way acceptable to themselves. It may be that we made a great mistake, when we failed to select and elect Dr. R. R. Moton, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois and Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, for then we would have had able representatives, duly accredited to represent the colored people of the United States of America. As the matter now stands, Rev. Dr. W.H. Jernigan, the only duly accredited delegate will hardly have time to open his baggage before the Chairman of the Pan-African Conference will have announced meeting adjourned until the assembling of the next Peace Conference some one hun dred years from now. We hope that Dr. Jernigan will be provided with ample funds to present his side of the case and to make a respectable showing before this influential tribunal. When he returns to this country, it will be interesting to know just how he secured that passport from the Department of State and whether or not, he too went us the alleged representative of some colored publication. We do not like the look of affairs. It bears the ear-marks of intrigue and double dealing on the part of somebody. The people's interests may be safe, we mean the colored people's interests, but it seems to us that the fine Italian hand of some master mind is in evidence in every move upon the political checker-board of this new diplomacy. DR. CECILS DEFENSE. We have read with interest the open letter of Rev. Dr. Russell Cecil chairman of the Richmond Sunday Campaign Committee. In it he and his committee disclaims all responsibility for $ \mathrm{th}_{0} $ exclusion of the colored people from all parts of the City Auditorium during the conduct of the campaign for the saving of the souls of all men. We are puzzled to know just who was responsible for the action of the police-officers in insulting and humiliating one of the most loyal classes of people in this republic. Rev. Dr. Cecil makes a statement that is worthy of some commendation but he spoils it all when he attempts to blame the colored ministers, irrespective of denomination for the inability of the colored people to hear the distinguished layman who is doing so much to reform the world. The colored people of Virginia in particular and the South-land in general or rather the better classes of them are high-strung and critical like the better classes of white people. In fact many of them were nurtured and raised in some of the best white families in the South-land. Naturally what a white southerner would re present a colored southerner would re present. The person or persons who are responsible for our failure to hear Mr. Billy Sunday are those who placed armed police-officers at the City Auditorium to insult and to drive away respectable colored people, who went there to hear this world-renowned evangelist. The crap-shooters, gamblers, jailbirds and penitentiary convicts did not go there, but the respectable, self respecting elements went to hear the Word of God prescheduled in its practical simplicity. The excuse given was they did not have enough room for white people. Let us see: When Sacred Heart Cathedral in the aristocratic white district was dedicated Night Rev, Charles Hannigan secured special accommodations on the main floor of that sacred edifice for some of our leading colored citizens, irrespective of denomination. They were practically right under the distinguished Roman Catholic prelate, who delivered an eloquent sermon. Colored citizens wore accorded places in line and all of this took place when ten thousand or more white people were clamoring for admission. Certainly if the influential Roman Catholic Church could do this, the protestant elements with which the colored people of this community are actively affiliated could afford to do the same thing. But enough for that. What we want to know is who authorized the police officers to bar colored people from the City Auditorium? If Chairman Cecil and his committee who have charge of the affair are not responsible, who is responsible? By every rule of either reason or logic, Rev. Dr. Cecil and his committee are responsible. Certainly, the colored ministers of this city are receiving commendation not only from a united constituency of colored people, but from thousands of white people as well. Florence S. C.

Richmond, Virginia --- THE PUFFER SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 22. 1919 DIMPSBY SIGNS TO BOX JESS WILLARD. Declares the Champion Has Little Except Bulk to Worry Him. (George B. Underwood in N. Y. Sun) When Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson, after the preliminary discussions here at the Hotel Albany in 1909, got ready to sign the contract with pro motor Tex Rickard they were informed by Police Commissioner William F. Baker, who now is president of the Philadelphia Nation's, that under section 1710 of the Penal Code such an act would be illegal. Rickard, Jeffries and Johnson had to cross over to Jersey to sign the papers. Jack Dempsey, who arrived here yesterday morning to sign to fight Jess Willard, had to follow the same procedure, for clause 1710 of the Penal Code was restored to full effect when the Frawley law was repealed. After a preliminary discussion at the Hotel Carriage Dempsey, Jack Kearns his manager and promoter Tox Rickard terried over to New Jersey and there in the waiting room of the West Shore Railroad Dempsey signed the contract to meet Willard in a championship battle on July 4. There was little of the fanfare and excitement that marked the sign up of Jeffries and Johnson in 1903. Rikard, Dempsey and Kearns leaned up against a radiator, spread the contracts out on a window sill and scrwled their John Hancocks to the papers. Iko Dorgan, Rickard's major domo and jack Skloy, the old time pugilist were the witnesses. Two score of reporters, sporting meon and hangers on watched the proceedings. The majority of the persons in the room wore not aware anything out of the ordinary was taking place. JEEF SIGNED IN SECRET When Jeffries and Johnson signed up over on the Jersey side in 1909—the contract was signed on December 3, 1909, seven months previous to the fight, July 4, 1910—it was at a Hoboken hotel amid the popping of wine corks and a great hullabaloo. The actual signing of the contract was done in secret and was not witnessed by the newspaper men. Jeffries and his manager, Sam Berger; Johnson and his manager, George Little; Rickard, Jack Gleason and stakeholder Bob Murphy locked themselves in a room and did not show themselves to the newspaper men until after the contracts were signed. Joe Gans, the colored puglist, and H. H. Frazey, now president of the Bouton Red Sox, were the local witnesses. The contract Dempsey signed with Rickard yesterday is identical with the one signed by Willard except as to the division of the purse and the forfeits. Rickard agrees to pay Dempsey ¢27,500 and one-third of the picture privileges. Kearns is required to post a forfeit of $5,000 instead of the $10,000 Rickard required as forfeit from Willard. Rickard will post $10,000 at once as a guaranty of good faith, $10,000 more sixty days previous to the contest and the remainder of the $27,500 forty-eight hours before the fight. Rickard agrees to inform Dempsey where the contest is to take place sixty days previous to the fight, but retains the privilege of changing the battle ground upon ten days notice previous to the bout. Rickard agrees to pay Dempsey's expenses if the contest takes place outside of North America. TWO MONTHS TRAINING. Dempsey left here last night for Allentown, Pa., where he opens a six weeks theatrical tour. Jack intimated yesterday he would engage in further theatrical work before sitting down to the grind of training. "I have been in steady training for many months," said Dempsey, "and am on edge. Of course my brother's death and my mother's sickness have worried me, but physically I am in the best of condition. I will not take more than two months hard training for Willard. That is really more than I need anyway. My theatrical contract requires me to box and do considerable exercise. That will keep me pretty fit and I will not shut active training for the big bout until about May 1." "Mocked at first was averse to permitting Dempsey to box while on the stage as his theatrical contract calls Care but reluctantly consented after Dempsey promised to take no chances of suffering himself. When Rickard was asked if Dempsey's Kearns showed him the contract upon them and whether any one agreed Kearns had any managerial interest in the fighter Tex de勒尔. "I did not ask them to show my peers. Both assured me, however that Kearns is the sole manager. I did not care, however. I have Dempsey's signature to the contract, and that is all I want. It would no difference to me in what the money is split after I pay it directly. There my obligations are to Dempsey's presence Kearns reiterated his statement that Jack Cairns had nothing to do with the handling of Dempsey's affairs, the money too, denied any connection with Cairley. KEARNS SOLE MANAGER "Doc here—you know there are so many 'jack' around that I call Kearne 'Doc—is the only one that has anything to do with my professional affairs,'" said Dempshey, "I bring a year contract with Kearne."

If 'Doc' continues to work for me so capably as he has in the past he can sign me up for another five years when this contract expires. Jack Curley or no one else except Kearns has anything at all to do with the direction of my business affairs." Dempsey seemed optimistic of his chances against Wilard and said he would stop the big fellow inside of ten rounds. When asked if he ever had seen Willard fight Jack snapped: "No. I haven't seen him fight. You know I haven't been anywhere in the vicinity of the few bouts he has fought. I have seen him box, however, and know pretty well how much he has got. He has little else except bulk, and you know what Joe Waleott said about bulk: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Regarding the story that Harry Wills, the co-ord pugilist, had been engaged as a sparring partner, Dempsey said he had heard nothing about it until one of the scribes had informed him Neumans had secured Wills' "Paddy Mullens, who manages Wills," lauched Dempsy, "is inclined to bulk, Jack tells me. Paddy says he wants Wills to fight me instead. If Harry doesn't want the job as sparring partner he doesn't have to take it. Neumans only made the offer to give him the opportunity of picking of some comparative easy money." WHAT DID SHE DO?

February 13 1919 39th Co.,,0th Tr. Bn. 1589 De pot Brigade. Mr John Mitchell Dear Sir: Two o'clock found the two battalions now in camp in the big Y. M. C.

Frank Arnold, Rev. P. H. H. H. pastor of the First Baptist Church, Chili othe Ohio who was the principal speaker of the evening. He spoke of the dragon of anarchy which is sweeping this count with the Negro as its prey, and told the executives in a very diplomatic manner that as true Americans they should use their offices to strike down this tyranny. He also told of the fact that our people had not only gone "over the top" on the battle fields of France but had gone over in its contributions to the theft stamps liberty bonds and loyalty. And that God is ever mindful of the atrocities inflicted upon our people. Dr. Amanda V. Gray who will now be forged ten by the soldiers who have visited the Hostess House for her faithful work in making the camp more agreeable for them, gave personal reminiscences of Fredrick Douglass. She contrasted the conditions when Douglass lived to these of today, and further admonished our men of the big responsibility it resting upon them during this reconstruction period and her re marks were greatly applauded. In conclusion let us hope that our neighbors will be inspired by the noble work wrought by our people during the crisis and out of this genera tion will come another Lincoln or Douglass. Yours Truly.

The first intimation has reached official Washington that the Paris peace conference may break up in a row unless common sense prevails over wounded vanity and agitated spirits. It has caused emplacement bordering on consummat on. The state meant is cableled that President Wilson and the American delegation may propose that the conference be moved out of France because of the appeal of Premier Clemente to the American people over the heads of the American delegates and because of an intense nationalistic French campaign supporting the "Uber premier." The reports at first blush appear so astounding that administration officials and diplomats are unable to credit them despite all ginward signs of an intensity. DISSENSION ONLY HOPE OF GERMANY. It appears utterly incredible to then that any delegation should save then a move which might bring in mediate international bankruptcy to diplomatic efforts and at the same time realize the fondest remaining hope of Germany—to ye win the war through dissension among her one miles. It is only fair to say that officials in the confidence of the President do no expect to see this reported threat carried out. But the mere possibility that some of the delegates are losing their heads and their just sense of proportion is sufficiently alarming in itself. The fact is established that President Wilson and Premier Clementeau of France radically disagrees over certain matters of polite IDEAL AND PRACTICAL CLASH It is evident that Clemenceau not only has the support of the best French diplomatic brains in Paris but also has the French Press virtually as a unit behind him. He is the champion of the practical school, the creed of pittness and frank publicity. In the words of one diplomat here, "Clemenceau always calls a spade a chowel. President Wilson has undoubtedly become the leader of a faction once led to many of Clemenceau's practical policies. It is the school of idealism seeking to reach results secret conceive and to avoid publicity until the ideals have been worked out. Dulemats admit that the rivalry between the two factions has become more and more intense. Clemenceau's policy in identically's almost identical with the policy of the Republicans here. CLEMENCEAU TELLS STERN FACTS Realizing this, the "tiger" premier on Sunday lost, gave an interview on the Associated Press for American readers in which he very frequently gave his views on the progress of the peace deliberations. He criticised the over confidence of those who are foreseeing that the war is not yet over nor the German monace safety removed: he made it clear that a league of nations without power would be an absurdity and he otherwise separated false homes and meanness phraseology from eterna cold facts.

The newly married singer and wife make purchases in the Red Cross Shop in New York for the benefit of wounded soldiers. This is the latest photo of Mr. and Mrs. Caruso. Virtually every point made by Clem enceau has been made in some form by men like Senator Lodge or Senator Knox, or other American leaders. OPPOSSES PARLEY WITH REDS The interview, therefore, amounted to an appeal to Americans opinion over the heads of the American dolgeats in Paris, and has apparently caused deep resentment by these dolgeats. It is also noted here that Clemen cean opposes the policy of parleying with the holsevskii and is assumed to have persuaded some of the Russian factions to hold aloof from the prospective conference at Princes Island. Clemenceau likewise opposed delaying the practical features of imposing peace on the enemy through taking up the league of nations discussion, and he is against curtailing Masahi Poch's power of lifting the blockade or trusting Germany. In all these matters it's program conflicts with the program championed by President Wilson. PITTISH SUPPORT PRESIDENT But differences of this sort were expected. The President's viewpoint has support from his friends here and has apparently found much support abroad especially among the British. It has been anticipated here that the result would be a compromise here and there between Clemenceau and the Wilson programs with argument and persuasion being the means used. No one has been prepared for the starting intention of threat to break up the Paris conference because of differences of opinion. A real attempt to remove the conference from Paris could not this and nothing else. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Agent For Planet.

They are the elder sons of G. S. Edmondson, of Tenth Avenue, N. E. The splendid services held last Monday night in Ebenezer A. M. E. Church on Norfolk Avenue and Tenth Street was the scene of real reunion and heartfelt service. The occasion was that of burning of the mortgage of that splendid piece of church property obtained through the foresight of exposter, Rev. J. W. Sanders and his wonderful successor, Rev. George C. Taylor, D. D., who like Richard Allen, the father and founder of the A. M. E. Church would not and could not be satisfied to leave this section of the State without leaving this legacy to the memory of his five years stay to the people of the city together with their toils and efforts from following advice of this Christian leader. Rev. Dr. Taylor read I Kings. 8, beginning at the 14th verse. Prayer was offered by father, Rev. George Lee, superannuate of the Virginia Conference, Brother St. Clair and wife were present. In whose home the Church was organized and who since that time has lost his sight. He rejoiced to be present and to have a past and 'of yet in the burning of the mortgage. Brother Jones and many others, treacher with the far Landed Dr. J. H. Pickard of 1018 Salem Avenue gave a short sketch of the entire progress of Ebenezer Mission, representatives of the various sister churches were called on by Dr. Taylor to say just a word of encouragement on the occasion who responded in short but timely remarks. J. H. Hale represented Cave Springs circuit; M. Zion, the mother Church was represented by Madison Stanfield. Sister Saint Clair gave a most touching talk on her real gratitude to Almighty God for His care and blessings to allow her to see the results accomplished which were begun under Dr. J. W. Sanders and completed under Rev. George C. Taylor. Brother Anderson spoke also and became so enthused he had to quit abruptly. It was an evening of real religious enjoyment to Christian men and women. A number of good brother and sisters were present and had helped to bring the desired results, for which ex-pastor Rev. J. W. Sanders thanked everybody who had helped to support the House of God. Mr. Robert Macklin, of 302 Ninth Avenue, N. W. left Saturday night for Burksville Va. to visit his daughter, Miss C. A. Mackin, who is teaching school out in Nottoway County and is getting along nicely. Rev J. W. Sanders of Berkley filled the mubit of M. Zion A. M. E. Church with very great credit to the occasion which was a source of much pleasure to all who listened to that powerful discourse from the learned prelate and Christian brother. He presected at night to an attentive audience. All present were highly paid for their attendance. Dr. Sanders is one man who seriously warns sinful men as regards the danger of a lost soul, by neglect to accept the Gospel of Christ. Mrs. Mehalia Banks, of 618 Fairfax Avenue, N. W. is somewhat improved. Mr Anthony Shaw, of 107 Third Avenue, N. W. is still indisposed. His many friends hope he may soon be about the streets. M. Stanfield.

Powell and Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Foster.

Miss Elizabeth Jones, Miss Elise Foster, Miss Ruth Johnson, Miss Mamie Wooten, Mrs. Lucy Dillard. Mrs. Mary B. Penn is president; Mrs. Hattie B. Dugger, secretary; Mrs. Rosa E. Tole, treasurer. Rev. J. R. Louderback of the Christian Church filled an engagement for Dr. George Taylor, D. D. who was called to Tampa, Fl. to attend the Bishops' Council. Rev. Louderback took special care of the situation. His choir was prose and rendered some very fine music. A collection of $10.02 was raised. Mr. Jacob L. Reid spent the week end in Washington, D. C. with his better half and returned Monday afternoon. Mr. Ernest Anderson, of Harrison Avenue, N. W., who has been confined to his home the past three weeks on account of illness, is much better at this writing. Mrs. Anna and Miss Helen Harris of South Boston, Va. are the guest of her nephew, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D. Dunger and sister, Mrs. Mary E. Stanfield for ten days.

This, the second month of the year, has given us George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Bishops Richard Alcott and H. M. Turner and the thirteenth of February was the birthday of our own W. F. Hughes (Ding-It), the well known and popular undertaker. Yes, sir, Ding-It Hughes was fifty-three years young, last Thursday the thirteenth and being the father of the "Hogs" they pulled off a real banquet in honor of Ding-It. It was a full dress affair with auto service for the members of the "Hogs" and their guest. The "Hogs" have pulled of some swell affairs, but never anything as elaborate as this one in honor of Dine-It Hughes, daddy of the Hogs. Some banquet, I should say. Plenty of everything yes, plently and plentily of everything left over, cent Lambere—none of that left over at all but had plenty of that too. You know it was some spread from the committee that was in charge of arragements, (E. G.) Proper Tote (Austin) Skinnie Marshal and (???) Little Willie and they really put it on. The Hogs all came in full dress and in autos. The Pen' was decorated with pumpkins, corn and American figs. 35 plates were laid and at eleven o'clock the hour for refreshments they sat down to the owing menu: Olives, celery pickle, cold ox tongue Virginia curd ham potato chips, rye bread, potato salad, lettuce, edam cheese butter thins, black coffee bevo, lambone, cigars, cigarettes. Some bill chl$ All right then and with all the lights' burning, red, white and blue, the Hogs in full dress you would have to sit up and take notice. Major W. B. F. Crowell was toastmaster and the following Hogs responded to toast, Corp. A. Kinsey, of the 25th Infantry Attorney J. L. Reid, Prof Tossey, W. A. Reid, F. G. Tate Theo Payne and Dr. E. R. Dudley then the toastmaster knocked a l the sneech out of Ding-It, when he introduced him he presented him with a beautiful emblematic charm as coming from fifteen of the oldest Hogs. The charm is a solid gold trowel, with square and compass on one side and three links on other. It is very old and one of the most beautiful seen here for sometime. It came as a surprise to Ding-It and when the toastmaster presented the token, Ding-It was overcome and all he said was "Brother swine. I'm too full. I can't say a word, but I thank you." Then some Hog said, "Too full is right." Don't know what he meant but I'm just telling you what he said. After $5,000 had been donated to the Home for Wayward Girls, the Hors stood and sang "God Be WI'll You Till We Meet Again" and W A Reid made the closing prayer. The autos began their trips taking the Hors home for a few hours not before starting another days work. Many matters of impotence came up for consideration. The Music City Building and Loan Association was discussed by Dr. Dudley: Insurance by Mr. H. C. Johnson, and arrangements to vote 15,000 colored men the next election, who are not now registered, was made plain by Attorney Reid. The visitors of the citing were Attorney J. L. Reid, Prof. Tonsey, W A Reid and Corp. Kinsey of the 25th Infantry. Those of the Hors present and enjoying the big feed were H. H. (Mike) Terry, Theo Pogue, Charles Lawson, Homer Poen, Eugene (Nail Driver) Brown, Thomas Gregory, Thomas G. Hackley, Dr. J. B. Clay. THE MICROSOUND PLANET tor, C. W. Polindextor, Dr. J. H. Roberts, James E. L (Impy) Wray, Austin (Skinnie) Marshall, Dr. E. Dudley H. C. Johnson, E. G (Proper) Tato, Major W. B. F. Crowe b and W. F. (Ding-It) Hughes. Excuse me please, I didn't mean to do it, but I wanted to tell you that Proper Tate was on the water wagon and you never saw such wished eyes in all your life as his when Little Willie passed the mountain soda. So Little Willie with a heart full of sympathy volunteered to take Proper Tate's place and as free y as a horo gives up his life to save the girl of his dreams, from a burning building, this brave little fellow, stopped up every time and took Proper Tate's share and added his own as well. Just goes to show that one hog will gladly carry another's load when its mountain soda or lambone but now Little Willie has joined his friend, Proper Tate and they are both perched high on the water wagon but oh, what a fall when it comes. Four visitors and as many applications for membership to the "Royal Order of Hors." Dr. E. D. Downing, who has been in the army for sometime has received, his commission as First Lleutenant and is now at the University of Pennsylvania, taking a special course and will be home to his many friends about March 1. The new officers for 1919, of the Nogro Business League for Ronokoe are H. C. Johnson, President; J. L. Reld, Vice President; John L. Stockton, Secretary; Dr. E. R. Dudley, Treasurer. With this set of men as officers things look bright for a successful year in the Business League. Let everybody help. James T. Hughes, the man from Franklin has just returned from an extended trip to Boston, New Haven New York and Washington. He reports a great time and said he really had his foot on the brass rail. Wish I had been there, too. Yours, LITTLE WILLIE. --- LIBERIAN OFFICIAL IN AMERICA Baltimore Items of Interest (Franklin Johnson) Baltimore, February 13—Hon John Lewis Morris Secretary of the treasury for Liboria, who is in this country on an important mission for his government, will deliver lectures all over the country detailing Libarian conditions and aims.

Woman's Baptist State Educationa Convention. Leechburg Va., Feb 15, 1919. To the members and friends of the Woman's Baptist State Educational Convention of Virginia: We cannot resist the impulse to remind you again of the near approach of our next session, which is to meet in Roanoke, Va. In June with the Circle of the First Baptist Church, Purhani some of you have already heard that Rev. Dr E. Ricks the exorcist is now stationed at the Pathney Baptist Church, of Newark, N. J. and perhaps you are wondering what effect his leaving will have on our meeting. To this I am glad to answer that in a letter received from our President, Mrs. Fox she states that they are expecting and preparing for the Convention. She also states that she is much better and hopes she is on the road to recovery. This, I know will be glad tidings to the members and friends. We also received a letter from our faithful missionary, Mrs. Carrie Jordan. She writes us that Dr. Jordan is very feeble and unable to attend his ministerial duties. As the Spring time comes on we trust his strength will be restored. His relation to the great cause of the Baptist may be described by the one word, "Loyalty." Is a letter from Mrs. M. Louise Pannell, of St. Brandon, Va., and the honored Vice President of our Convention, she informs us that her son, Louis, Wilbert E. Pannell will speak on the trenches, at Pittsburgh. This month and that his plan is to speak in Loveland, February 19 at White Rock Baptist Church, also in Davenport, February 20 and 21 for Doctor Salvin and Moses. Now, sisters, do not forget that each member is requested to give less than two dollars to the work each year. This you may do through your Circle or in a special donation whichever suits you best. All members, not connected with any Circle should give not less than one dollar. Any person not connected with a Circle may receive a copy of the minutes of the last session by drawing the Corresponding Secretary card. Circles falling to receive their minutes write Mrs. Carrie C. Moses Box 528, Danville, Va. The death of Mrs. Lleut, John Wickman Simma daughter of the late Prof. G. W. Hayes, January 21 their mother's residence on Seminary Hill was a great shock to the people of this city and no doubt to every one who heard of it, out of the city. She had been a life member of the Convention from her childhood. (Mrs.) M. WALLER RICHARDSON responding Secretary. 2017 Roig, Shipman ARMY TRAINING AT A. & T. The Government has authorized the establishment of an Officers' Training Corps at the A and T College. This is an excellent opportunity for our young men. There are no restrictions necessary in entering this school. The drill is good for physical condition and conducive to good health. It is understood the Government will furnish suits and after attaining certain proficiency the students will receive monthly a small allowance from the Government to assist in meeting their school expenses. While we are anxious to get one hundred young men to join this unit, no student will be required to take this military training. Our Spring Term begins March 1. We are anxious to greet the return of a large number of students. James B. Dudley is President. A SAFE INVESTMENT. The Colonization Coal, Coke and Power Company, Rooms 602.603 House Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. offers an opportunity to the colored people to invest a small sum with absolute safety of getting good returns within a short time. These men have formed this Company with an incorporated capital of $200,000, divided into 20,000 shares at $10.00 a share per value, for the purpose of developing the minerals from the 10,000 acres of land they own near Oak and, Maryland. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Garrett County. This land is rolling and a portion of it is adapted to agriculture and fruit. The mineral products consist of three veins of coal, limestone, glass sand, fire clay and kaolin, also sufficient timber for mining. The Youghiougheny River divides this land; all of this assures good facilities for colonization and mining purposes. The corporation offers to the public an acre of land and one share of stock for $125.00 on easy payments each month until paid for, however, reserving the right to mine the minerals at a royalty of 10 cents per ton to be paid monthly to each acre holder and a dividend on the share of stock every six months from the net profits. An absolute clear and perfect warranted deed is guaranteed on each acre sold. Anywhere we can secure from 100 to 200 members, we will secure a railroad siding for a cow yard to furnish each and every member count at rates about half the price obtained from other people as they will be stockholders in the Company. This rate to stockholders only. We will also establish an office in such cities, which will employ people of our race to promote it. When we there we are hundred members we will ask the people to appoint a representative for the people, who will be on the Board of Directors and will look after the welfare of the members.
