VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 16 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1919 COLORED VETERANS PARADE KERE CROWDS CHEER FIGHTING MEN FROM OVERSEAS. One of the most remarkable parades ever seen in this city took place here Saturday, February 22nd, upon the arrival of the colored veteran who recently returned from the front in France. All of them were the new service headpieces of metal that protected them from the rots of shrapnel. They were bronzeed by exposure and marched with a regularity that be tokened that they had seen hard service. Many wore medals awarded them for signal deeds of valor. The train was scheduled to arrive at the Byrd Street Station and then this was later changed to 11:40 A. M. at the new Broad St. Station and then this was later changed to 14:00 at the same place. MR. NORRELL IN CHARGE Mr. M. Alphonso Norrie of the War Camp Community Service had charge of the arrangement Editor Joan M.chell, Jr., was chosen as the Chief Marshal. Both were on hung, ogre or with members of the committee and a detachment from the Spanish community. A downpour of rain tended to mar the exercise, but all matched with little regard for the baptism from above. The route was down Broad St to Third S., then to baptism from above. The route was down Broad St to Third St., then to Clay S. and from that point to the headquarters of the War Camp Community Service where the bodies had prepared funerals for all. It was in the so-called shelter for the men here and they stood in the yard while hunched was served to them. A SOLID MASS One solid name of humanity thinned Grace upon the earth. At K. P.

DR MILLER SPEAKS PLAINLY Mr. dear Mr. Mitchell: This comes to compliment you on your very able editorial on, "The Neuro and the Sunday Meetings" found in The Planet of the eighth foot. I am sure every manly, race loving Neuro is proud of the clearness, yet complete analysis of the editorial of which you spoke in the Richmond, Va. News Leader, and you may be fearless defense of not only the colored leaders and citizens of Richmond, but the entire race as well. A GRATIFYING SETTATION It is indeed gratifying to see the above countries and The Pariet standing together for the weal and the good of our people. As to the part you are playing, we are it for all have watched your course for more than a onerl of a course and can truthfully say that whether in the range of politics, race, culture, concession by other races, denominational peace and progress, you have been the fourless, uncompromising defender. THOSE EDITORIAL UTTERANCES Many are the times your pointed savings and able editorials, Inspired and blazing with truth, have disbanded a dark cloud or lifted a drooping head from a reverie of despondency If we do not get justice in this country; if we are lynched, serre- gated, jim crowed; if we are not thrifty, intelligent and progressive; if, as a great Baptist family, $w_0$ are not in union, marching triumphantly to take the world for God and His Christ, it is not your fault, for you have certainly done your whole duty along, all these lines. Aside from being a veteran knight of the quill, ripe and gifted, we love and respect you for your courage, spirit of humanity, patience and persistence. THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE We are in the dawn of a new age, fraught with new responsibilities and emotions, and he who would lead and serve the age successfully, must be tested in the fiery furnace of criticism and be baptized in the flames of persecution and opposition. Your past record is a monument, splendid and inviting; your present bodecked with glory—and since we know of but one way of measuring the future, and that is by the past and present, we know you will "lay on McDuff" on the firing line" as a race defender and leader and the champion of Negro rights and Negro manhood. THAT MIGHTY PEN From the mountains to the plains from the Great Lakes to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific we have felt the beneficent stroke of your mighty pen. Long may you live to be a "tower of strength" for us, and, as you journey, care worn and burdened, on towards the elorious sunset of life, pluck a bour quet from memory's garden and the field of ach eventment that it may lighten your cares, cheer your heart and gladden your soul. Truth shods its eternal light into your being. God is with you and the people for you. Yours, C E MILLER, D D East Raftord, Virginia. THE N. A. A. C. P. REPLIES. "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York February 24, 1919. "Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Editor. "The Piedmont Planet. "314 North Fourth Street. "Ridgemond, Va. "My dear Mr. Mitchell: In recent issue of the Planet several editorials have appeared, written without doubt in good faith, concerning the meridion by Dr. W. E. B. Dutts. Editor of the Crisis and Director of Publications and Research of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Pan-African Congress which was held in Paris last week. "In these editorials The Planet has stated that Dr. Dutts does not represent the American Neotrox that he has raised to France "upon a mission without being clothed with specific authority" and it has been intimated that he has some as a representative of the United States Government. In order that these impressions may be corrected, I would like to make the following statement. THAT THREE-FOLD CAPACITY. Dr. DuBois was not sent to France by the United States Government but by the National Association in a three-fold capacity; as the special correspondent of the Crisis at the Peace Conference; to collect first hand material for a history of the Negro in the Great War; and as a representative of the National Association for the purpose of bringing all pressure possible to bear on the delegates at the peace table in the interest of the colored people of the United States and of the world. One of the means of effecting the latter purpose was the calling of a Pan-African Congress, such as has just been held in Paris. Both Dr. DuBois and the other executive officers of the National Association realized some time since that no American Negro would be granted a seat at the peace table. The Congress was intended to bring to the attention of the delegates and the world the problem of the Negro, both in America and out of it. REPRESENTS MANY BRANCHES. As for Dr. DuBois being without sufficient authority, I wish to state that since he was sent by the National Association as its duty accredited I representative, he is in France today to the representative of the one hundred and seventy two members of the Association with a membership of forty five thousand. By reason of that foot I believe that I am safe in saving that Dr. DuBois is as truly permanent as of the Newo as any man in France. Under separate cover I am sending you a copy of the speech delivered at the meeting held at Carnegie Hall in New York City on January 6th on "Africa In the World Democracy," which explains in greater detail than I can in a letter Dr. DuBois's position as well as that of the National Association on this subject. Very sincerely yours. WALTER F. WHITE, Assistant Secretary.

Lafayette King PRESIDENT PAYNE REASONS He Tells the Whole Story—The Responsibility Fired—A peculiar Welcome Richmond, Va. February, 1919. Editor: An article published in two of our daily papers, Tuesday the 18th. The caption of which is "If Colored People don't hear Sunday, their Pastors are to Blame" We desire to say something with regard to the said article as to our refusal to accept the invitation offered us by the Rilly Sunday Campaign Committee. The Committee promised us that when they were ready to publish their side of the matter that they would be known so our side might be published along with theirs, therefore a committee was appointed by us to be in touch with the committee of the Sunday Campaign. Our committee was waiting for the Campaign committee to notify them when they were ready to publish their statement, which would have carried ours also. However, since we were not notified as we or posted we will be the public have our reason why we refused to accept of tickets or any place in the Auditorium. WANTED TO HEAR MR. SUNDAY When there, we apparently some dissatisfaction among the white bearers as to whether Mr. Sunday should be, invited to come to Richmond or not, we earnestly desired that they might succeed in putting him to accept the invitation when he did not receive it. I have as much delight. We were solutions about their next trouble in overseeing to get the boy comment to allow you to erect a Table couple for Mr. Sunday's Campaign, and when they could do so that we were invited; however when you succeeded in reiterating arrangements to fix the Antitrust so that the rest he could be held there, we shared in your lay. We could read to each mate with the Campaign Committee to the money toward preparing the battling and to help defray other expenses of the Campaign, and also willed anxiously to be invited in what ever way we could render help in making the campaign a success for the good of all people, regardless of race or color. NO INVITATION ENTENDED Since no invitation was extended to us we felt that we were not wanted and that the promoters of the Company were laboring under the false imposition that to avoid disturbance of any kind, it was best to keep the faces as far apart as possible. We retook in the newspapers here and these expressions which confirmed our view, Rev O. D. Jenkins, D. D. went to the Auditorium and was turned away by a cold man. He wrote an article as to this treatment and took it to a newspaper and he informed us that the paper did not publish it as he wrote and furnished facts to it. Another man went there so we are informed and was refused to be allowed to return in the Auditorium during the services, or even to go into the gallery. & EV. DR. MORRIS' PREDICAMENT Rev. C. S. Morris informed us in one of our meetings that he went there and was haked and chased, but he managed to skip on through the crowd and make his escape from the policemen and got into the buildings and remained. He went the second time and was called in question and some of the white people had to plead for him so that he might be allowed to remain. We asked to the Sunday Camping Committee that we would not accept the invitation fearing less we might embarrass the good white people who washed to do the right thing by us and dislike seeing us illtreated. We also reminded the committee that we are not wards on the Government nor in Religious work, but Ascens. We like Devil will not offer sacrifices us to God that costs us nothing, there fore we felt willing to have helped bear the financial burden of the camp, especially a cost of the $8,000 allotted to the Baptists. In the government we bought Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps, and gave our sons to be sold in the world wide war. Thus we shared, shared and shared alike. HAD MADE OTHER ARRANGE MENTS We did not accuse it because we had made arrangements for our meetings in our respective churches, to have such Evangelists as Rev. A M Kent, D D Rev W H Sk with, D D Our meetings are on and are afforded with great success. At the 4th Repist Church there were in attendance all day Sunday not less than 3500 people Monday afternoon and night, Tuesday night it was estimated that TIME IS MEETING—KEEP POSTED PRICE, FIVE CENTS at least 6000 people were in attend Many have bowed at the mourners' bench and converts can be heard all around. We preach recitance and that you must be born again to see the kingdom of God. Mr. Sandy is an earnest consecrated worker for the Master's Kingdom and Messages bearing the stump which we do, would be getting very unwise to quarrel with him. ALL GOING HEAVENWARD While the white people are going to Heaven out from the Billy Sunday Meeting which is being held in the City Auditorium, we are going up from Churchhill, Fulton, College and Broad, Second Rustor Church, Jackson Ward, Elmoreover West Church, and from the West End. The Angel that John saw white on the Isle of Patmos flying in in the midst of Heaven, having the Everlasting God pet to preach to every nat on, people and tongue will not pass us by. Now if we are to be blamed for this position taken by us, we are willing to bear the blame forever. Further more it seems that the Sunday Campaign Committee which said to us that a big mistake was made in not asking the colored people to assist and to attend the meetings and that having made the mistake they were endeavoring to correct it, while others did not seem to think a mistake had been made, rehearing C' colored people and the Sunday meetings. JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND Now they come out with a pub hished statement saying, "They had all ways intended that the colored people take part and enjoy the blessing of the Pitie Sunday goodness." We can not understand this definition of tongue, while religion have been stationed at the door, with inerse tions not to allow any colored noses to enter, and some of these things referred to abuse have been given in the newspaper, yet no corrections, have been made by the Committee, but they are in the Committee room and try to put us to account of this, being the only one in the people who is so angry in no way against the Sunday Meeting. The Pitie Sunday Committee wants to put the blame on the colored People, then on our inter- ference the circumstances we will find and closely present the blame and re- portily for our serious stated abuse.

Wo desiro to say somo thing with rogard to tho sald article as to our refusal to accept the Invite tion offored us by the Billy Sunday Campaign Committos. ‘The Comittes promised us that whon they wore rondy to publish thelr sido of tho mat ter that they would let tts know so our sido might bo published along with thors, therefory a committoo was ap pointed by us (o keop in toneh with tho commitoo of tho Sunday Cam palgn, Our comitteo was waiting for tho Gampalgn committos to notity thom when they were ready to pnb lish thotr statement, which would havo carried ours also, Howover, sineo wo Were not notified as wo ox fected Wo Wil Io! the public have our roason why wo rofusod to aecopt of Uckots or any placo In tho Auditort um.

NO INVITATION EX'TENDED Since no invitation was extended to us we felt Mat we were not wanted and that the promoters of the Cam: Paign were laboring under tho false assumption that to avo'd disturbance of any Kind, it was best to keep the Tacos as far apart ag possibe, We no ticed in the nowspapers here and there expressions which confirmed our viow, Rev 0. D. Jenkins, D. D., went (0 the And'tor um and was turn ed away by a policeman. He wrote an article ns to this treatment and took It to a nowspaper and he informed us that the paper did not publish it aa he wrote and furnished facts to it, Another man went there so we aro informed and was refused to be allowed to remain in tho Auditorium during tho services, or oven to go into tho gallery, lay. DR. MORRIS’ PREDICAMENT Rey. C. S. Morris Informed us in ono of our meotings that he wont thore and was halted and chased, but ho managed to si.p on through the erowd and make lus escape from the policeman and got into the building nd remained. He went the second time and was called in question anu some of the white people hid to plead for him so that ho might bo allowed to remain, We said to the Sunday Campaign Committe that we would not aecopt the invitation fearing less wo might embarrass the good white people who wished to do the right th.ng by us and dist ke seeing us iltrested. Wo also reminded the committee that we are not wards on the Government nor in Religious work, but Asseis. Wo Uke David will not offer sacriilces un to God that costs us nothing, there fore we felt wiling to have helped hear that financial burden of the cam baign, especially a part of the $18.0°0 allotted to the Baptists. In the goy- ernment we bought Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stunps, and gave our sons to he soldiers in the world-wide war, Thus wo shared, share and share alike, HAD MADE OTHER ARRANGE MENTS We did not nccept it hecanse we had made arrangements for our meet ings in our resrective churehes, to have such Fvange''sts as Rev.

HOLLYWOOD COLORED SOLDIERS STORMED METZ GATE BEFORE THE ARMISTICE. District of Columbia Troops Fought from Tree to Tree Like Indians. Two hundred and fifty District colored soldiers of the 351st field artillery who, with a like number of the 368th Field Infantry, made up the two units furnished to the famous division of the national army—the Ninety-second—have arrived in the States, Officers and men of those two units, brought back with them the first stories of the part which the District's colored troops of the Ninety-second division played in the great and successful Metz offensive. To this division of 27,500 colored troops, the District units of which trained at Camp Meade, was given the honor of storming one of the most important and strongly fortified positions of the German army—the gateway to Metz. The last quarter of an hour before the armistice was signed found the gun room of the 351st artillery smashing the outer defenses of that fortress with a hail of 6-inch shells from their black-muzzled howitzers. IN INFANTRY AND ARTILLERY The 500 District troops—both artillery and infantry—in this national army division set high marks for soldier courage, white, white, white, prone to discipline astonishment, those who had read of their remarkable record in the war between the States. Many of these colored fighters wear decorations, with at least one—First Lieutenant, Edward James, 363th infantry of Washington, D. C.—has been awarded the distinguished service cross for heroism at Binarville, France on September 27. After training for about seven months at Camp Meade, the 363rd infantry and the 351st artillery were mobilized with the other units of the 92nd Division at Camp Merritt and sent from New York on June 7. The division first went to Bourbonne les Bains, where they remained in training unil August 12 a period of five weeks. On August 12 the troops of this division moved to a number of towns in the Vosges Mountains not far from the River Meuse. At the end of a week during which intensive training for the front was continued, they took over the St. Die sector, a mountainous sector of hostile front 20 miles in width. On August 20, they left this sector and were rushed westward to participate in the battle of the Argonne forest, which began on the 26th September. From there the division moved west taking station on October 10 then south of Metz on the Moselle IN SIXTH ARMY CORPS The Ninety-second division formed here the extreme right of the American Second army corps. About the 20th of October, its commander, Major General C. C. Ballon also a resident of Washington, was assigned to temporary command of the Sixth army corps, but retained command of the division of colored troops. The division immediately entered into aggressive action. The Germans were pretty well established in possession of No Man's Land and patrolled it entirely too freely. Before the end of October this had been entirely changed and the American colored troops had the boches acting whoily on the defensive. They killed large numbers of Germans and took many prisoners, but the Germans had become wary and were rather difficult to catch. The colored troops were directly in the gateway to Metz, one of the most important and strongly held position of the entire German line. Aggressive action against them was made extremely difficult. From this time on until the last battle of the war, which began on November 10, the District men were continually under fire. In this last battle the local troops fought Indian style, from tree to tree, the Germans contesting bitterly every foot of the terrain. Everywhere among the trees were mazes of barbed wire entanglements, swept by machine gun and artillery fire, yet both of the objectives assigned to the division were captured and held. CALL TO FEDERATE COLOREI ORGANIZATIONS IN MARCH. Will Maintain Representatives at Washington to Watch and Work for Reconstruction. Hundreds of thousands of our boys went across for our country—now let us ask our country to come across for them. Let us federate for mutual understanding, mutual interest and mutual gain every colored club and all organizations of every kind throughout the United States—so our twelve million people may bespeak their united de mands—so we may be in position to "Fight for the things we have held nearest our hearts—Democracy"—for the right of those who submit to authority to have voice in their own government. Nations are federating—labor is federating—and racial units all over the world are corollating and centralizing their power and influence for protection—why not we? In this movement to federate, no organization is called upon to lose its identity, to sacrifice a sing o one of its principles or to cease its labors. Governments, societies, church denominations and fraternities, all get their power by centralizing and pushing forward their aims and policies—the in the spirit of, "All for one and one for all," let us establish unity within tho race; and the social, industrial, and political obstacles which we have suffered in the past will crumble before a determined, enlightened, united advance—what say you? Will you help in the reconstruction at home? Will you meet in a non-partisan conference on March 20 and 21 in New York City and help determine the proper course? Notice of meeting place will be given later. Let every club, every society, every organization, fraternal or other wise, send representation. Let the Churches and the press join in with representation, and let us start from here to really get somewhere. The representatives to be sent and kept in Washington will serve each pair ticipating organization so that your matter may receive immediate, first hand consideration. On to Washington for the untramplied right of the ballot—for our human, industrial and political justice. First, let us protest against the hypocrisy of American Democracy as demonstrated in (a) Denying the Negro the absolute rights and privileges as citizens; (b) Making him the victim of the undemocratic system of segregation, the twentieth century slavery; (c) The State and Federal operation of the nofarious Jim Crow car system; (d- Depriving him of the opportunity of education in the Southern States; (e) Exploiting his labor and holding him in practical peonage in the Southern States; (f) Depriving him of the right of gainful occupation in Northern States; (g) Depriving him of the right of trial by a jury of his peers; (h) Excluding him from a voice in the government, though exacting from him the full performance of his duty as a citizen and a soldier to the supreme sacrifice in defense of his government; (i). To protest against denying him his full share, according to numerical strength in the reorganization of the United States Army; (j) Making him the victim of relentless persecutions, lynchings and burnings at the stake. Second. To demand the right of the ballot in every State of the Union and the enforcement of the Federal Constitution, especially the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments thereto.

Farmville, Va., February 24.—The representatives elected to France by the Equal Rights League have been denied passports upon the ground that the French Government does not think it wise to have Negroes from America attend a Pan-African Congress in Paris at this time. This is the import of the statement coming from one high up in Federal affairs and certainly it must be the truth and nothing but the truth, so help him God. Now, if France has taken such a stand against the Negroes of America when there is a ray of hope for peace, it is very strange she did not discover these objectable features in the American Negroes while her worst trouble was on hand, while blood was flowing she was threatened with destruction and needed a wall of impregnable defense between herself and Germany. Peace has not been declared yet and before it is declared both France and our own great Government will want to give each Negro two passports to get him back to France to return the German tide of shell and gas destined to erase the French Government from the map. Though we have been denied passports we will never refuse doing the bidding of our Government, let it be to fight for France or any other nation. While on the other hand we are not satisfied with this awkward subterfuge of an excuse for not wanting our representatives in France at this time. Our delegates are not going to any Pan-African Congress that I know of. We are sending them to get a hearing in some way before the great powers of the world and let them know we are not given the rights as American citizens and yet the world knows there are none more loyal to the Stars and Stripes than we are. The powers that are gathered around the peace table have seen or learned of the valor of the Negro on the battlefield and now we want these same powers to see just what we are subjected to at home and then ask if we are not worthy of better treatment than disfranchisement, Jim Crowism, lynching and the decoction of Southern prejudice, born in hell and matured in America and now decollating us of every right belonging to American citizens. We we you powers to tell ds your interpretation of Democracy. J. H. WILEY, D. D. SUNDAY WITH THE CHURCHES FIRST BAPTIST. Sunday morning was indeed a high day with us. The Sunday School was well attended and lesson interesting. The Spirit seemed to hover near and prayers and songs seemed to be filled with fervor. The pastor, Rev. Wiley apparently caught the inspiration and preached to us a sermon that was out of the ordinary. The theme of his text was, "The Highest Degree of Trouble for Jesus." THE RICHMOND PLANE: AICHMOND, VIRGINIA The B. Y. P. U. at 3 P. M. had a very interesting meeting. A Bible class was organized under the supervision of Roy, Willey with Dr. Miles (white) as senior teacher. This class will meet each Sunday afternoon from 4 to 5. The night service was well attended. The pastor gave us another helpful discourse. A. M. E. CHURCH. Service at 11:30 A. M. were of a hitch order. It was our Conference Raily Day. Pastor discoursed from the fourth chapter of Daniel, verses 30 and 31. Theme, "The Proud and Haughty Shall Be Brought Low." The sermon was enjoyed by all and we left feeling glad that we had come to the House of the Lord. At 8 P. M. once more, we assembled and heard again the Word of God from St. John 3:17. Quite a goodly sum was collected Sunday for Conference purposes. Again we thank our God, friends and members for the success of this day. The entire community was sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Ellen Taylor, of Grace Street, who departed this life Tuesday, February 18, after a long illness. During her active life she was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church. The funeral services were held Thursday at the Church, Rev. Wiley officiating. She is survived by a husband, Mr. Simon Taylor, four sons and five daughters, who have our deepest sympathy. Mr. R. L. Paige and children of Roanoke spent Sunday in the city with parents. Mr. Joe Madden spent several days here last week with his family. Mr. Thomas Anderson spent quite a few days from Petersburg last week with his family.

Hairston is back from a most pleasant trip to Richmond. The members of the Ideal Society were entertained in high style on last Friday evening in the home of Miss Marion Hankins, 702 Redford Street. During the early evening social activities were the main feature of gajety. Music was furnished by Misses Hankins and Hairston and Mr. Lemuel Blind. Miss Hanking several arranged tables for amusing games detracted nothing from the liveliness of the occasion. Following this a course of refreshments was served by the hostess. At 10:30 those present began, the usual routine of business (transactions).

SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....60 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....MARCH 1, 1919 DR. DUBOIS AND THE PEACE CONFERENCE. Mr. Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been kind enough to send us a communication relative to the rather remarkable attitude of that distinguished American scholar, Dr W. E. B. DuBois, who is now in Paris. It tends to clear up the situation so to speak, and it also enables us to speak with authority as to his aims and attitude. We desire to discuss the points in Mr. White's letter and to show wherein we differ, relative to the position that he and the great influential organization with which he is connected occupy. Mr. White states that we stated that Dr. DuBois does not represent the American Negro. We are of the opinion that in his letter, he confirms this when he states that he was sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. That great organization which is doing so much for our people in this country is composed of white and colored people. It is not a Negro organization in any sense of the word. A delegate sent by it cannot, upon the basis of self-determination be a representative of the co-ored people of the United States of America, clothed with specific authority to represent any of them unless an organization specifically negro (colored) from bottom to top clothed him with the authority and authorized the issuance to him of credentials for such a purpose. To argue otherwise would be to stand upon the platform laid down by our enemies, who essay to speak for us without consulting us. We beg leave to emphasize and assert that President Wilson and his associate representatives at the Peace Conference can better set up the claim to represent the colored people of the United States than can Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and others like him, who are now in Paris. The reason for this is that the United States peace delegates represent the people of the United States, irrespective of race, color or previous condition of servitude and for this reason they can claim a title and assert an authority that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois does not claim to possess. $ \mathrm{H}_{0} $ could not possess it unless he had received this authority direct from the colored people themselves. This is why we asserted that Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernigan, of Washington is the only person now in Paris, so far as we know, who has even the color of right to represent the colored people of the United States of America. There are others here who have a similar color of right, but thanks to the Department of State they are now at home waiting for passports that will never come to them. But Mr. White enlightens us as to why Dr. Dullo's went to Paris, France. He went there to gather first hand material for a history of the Negro in the Great War, and as a correspondent of the New York Crisis. As he is a historian, this seems proper. As a writer, he has no superior in this country and as a historian, he ranks with the best in the land. But neither of these positions relieve him of the charge of acting in a private capacity and not as the accredited representative of more than ten millions of colored people in the United States of America. Mr. White says that as representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People he was sent for the purpose of bringing a'l pressure possible to bear on the delegates at the peace table in the interest of the co'ored people of the United States and of the world. Is Mr. Walter F. White correct in defining the purpose for which Dr. DuBois was sent to France by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People? If he is correct, why did he send us a copy of a pamphlet containing the speeches delivered by Messrs. Horace Meyer Kallen and James Weldon Johnson, the latter being Field Secretary of the great organization under discussion? Mr. Kallen, among other things, says: "In the League of Nations is the hope and security of the black man in Africa no less than of the white man in Europe." We do not know where in any of his statements that he makes a specific reference to the down-trodden, persecuted black man in this country. He is looking after the interests of the black man over yonder with no reference to the black man right here. This is why William Monroe Trotter, Ida B. Wells Barnett, E. W. Moore, John R. Hawkins, W. H. Jernigan, A. C. Powell, J. Milton Waldron, Harry C. Smith and a host of others wanted delegates with specific authority and powers in Paris to speak for them. But to emphasize our position and to show that either Mr. Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary, is mistaken or that Mr. James Weldon Johnson is "out of tune" with the organization that he essays to represent as Fie'd Secretary, we quote from this same pamphlet that Mr. Walter F. White sent to us. On page fourteen, Mr. James Weldon Johnson is quoted as follows: "We ought to know more about Africa, and if we did we would not be ashamed of it but proud of it. A knowledge of its history would give the background which would enable the Negro to hold up his head among the peoples of the world. And it is only just that in the settlement to follow the war provisions should be made to secure the soil of Africa and the resources thereof for the benefit primarily of the natives; and for the establishment of governments that may insure them self-determination as rapidly as possible." Mr. Johnson puts himself on record as not being in favor of self-determination at once for the Africans, although they have had an organized form of government among themselves for many centuries. They are devoid of many of the vices of civilized nations. The most noticeable virtue is that they tell the truth. He says further: "But the main interest of the Advancement Association, notwithstanding its broad sympathies for all oppressed peoples, is not in Africa and Africans, but in America and colored Americans. And the Advancement Association knows enough to realize that the problem of the Negro in the United States is not going to be retied around the peace table at Versailles. It knows that the Powers of Europe are not going to do very much, even if they could, to change the laws and the disregard of laws in Georgia and Alabama and Mississippi." If Mr. White is correct in his statement, then Mr. Johnson is incorrect in his declaration. But Mr. Johnson goes further than this when he says: "And so, although the Advancement Association is willing to accomplish as much as is possible by bringing Africa, which is an international question, before this international bev, it realizes that the fight for the democratic rights of the American Negro must be fought at close quarters right here at home. Mr. Johnson asserts that the Advancement Association is battling for the rights of the black people in Africa and that it will confine itself to contending on this side of the Atlantic for the rights and privileges of the colored people in this country. All we are after presenting to our readers is, "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." We weary of this deception, this making people believe one thing when it is another. Mr. James Weldon Johnson is not a diplomat. He is "brutally frank" but he "speaks out in the meeting," so to speak and talks in language that the common people can understand. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in Paris, France looking after the Africans and not the colored people of the United States of America. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People over here is looking after the interests of the Negroes of the United States of America. Mr. Johnson defines this and says plainly that he agrees with President Wilson, Dr. R. R. Moton and others that the race question in the United States has no place and should not be discussed at the Peace Conference in France. Here is his language: "In fact, the fight for democracy for native Africans and the fight for democracy for people of African descent in the United States are not on the same plane. The truth of the matter is, the question of the democratic rights of the American Negro has no recognized place at the peace table. The Negro in the United States is not a subject race and does not accept the status of a subject race. He is a citizen of the United States, with all the rights of American citizenship guaranteed him by the Constitution. "Subject races all over the world are today struggling to have certain ```markdown ``` rights of citizenship written for them in the laws of the nations to which they bear allegiance; therefore they cause naturally go for consideration before the international tribunal which is now assembling. But the American Negro is contending for the fulfillment of rights already guaranteed him by the Constitution and for the impartial interpretation and application of existing laws." We do not propose to analyze Mr James Weldon Johnson's logic at this time. We shall leave our readers to do this. We deem it wise to remark that there is another "school of thought" on this question. That school believes that representative colored men from the United States should be in Paris to sound out the delegates to the Peace Conference to the end that public sentiment might be created among the nations of the world and that public sentiment might react upon the Government of the United States and that the Government might be forced to accord to its own citizens of color all of the rights and privileges that it was demanding that other countries should accord to people under the control of the respective governments. There has never been a time when other nations were more active into probing into the internal affairs of their neighbors than now. It would be absurd and hypocritical for the American delegation to be demanding fair treatment for the Jews in Russia, the Armenians in Turkey, the Irish in Ireland and the Poles in Germany, while oblivious to the just complaints of the Negroes in the United States of America. We accept the statement of Mr. Walter F. White that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has not gone to Paris as a representative of the United States Government. He has no need so to do. His position is in accord with the Department of State, the Department of (in) Justice and last but not least that world chieftain, His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States. He represents the position of the United States Government, if not the Government itself. Dr. DuBois, according to Mr. James Weldon Johnson believes that the wrongs of the colored people of the United States of America have no place at the Peace Conference. Certainly this is illuminating information and we are frank enough to say that we appreciate the kindness of our esteemed representative of that great New York organization in giving us first hand information which will enable us to make no mistake in our statements in the future. Summed up, it means that Dr. W. E. B. Dullois is in Paris in the interest of the Negroes of Africa, while Dr. W. H. Jernigan, as we understand it, is in Paris, in the interest of the Negroes of the United States of America. Certainly, this is a distinction with a difference, Selah. FULTON NOTES. Last Sunday morning at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, Rev. Cobbs preached on "Hell." He outlined the dreadful condition of the take of fire or hell. Rev. Wilson of the River View Baptist Church was present on the rostrum, also Rev. Mutt Fuller. Two watch care, one restoration, one candidate for baptism and one to be prayed for answered the pastor's invitation. At 3:30 a grand sacred concert was given by the members of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Sunday School. We sincerely thank our friends of the Sixth Mount Zion for the great help they are rendering us, especially Mrs. Sallie Brown. At 7:30 the B. Y. P. U. held its regular services. We call upon each and every Christian to unite with us and make these services what they ought to be in the name of the Lord. We had a delightful time in the name of the Lord at the Union Revival Services, which were held at the Union Level Baptist Church last week. We had about 20 or 40 confessions. Rev. John Kemp is conducting the services. Rev. William Tuck, of the Union Level Baptist Church unreached last third Sunday at Providence Force. The Mt. Sterling Baptist Church, Rev. Tuck is a young divinie. Let us pray for his success. Rev. R. V. Peyton will administer the Lord's Supper at Mt. Calvary on next Sunday evening. The funeral services of Sister Julia Carter were held at Rising Mount Zion Baptist Church, February 19. She was a faithful member of that church. She leaves five children, three brothers and a sister. Rev. N. B. Brown officiated. We cannot speak too highly of Sister Carter as a real Christian in every respect, not as the world seeth but as God seeth. Rev. Throckmorton (white) offered a fervent prayer in behalf of the bereaved family. Rev. Cobbs preached on The Prodigial Son last Sunday night at Mt. Cermel. Rev. Smith was present on the rostrum. We closed and went in a body to the Rising Mt. Zion, where the Union Revival Services are held this week. Next week they will be held at Mt. Calvary. Let us all work and pray for a success. We have some sick in Fulton including the following: Miss Elizabeth Hill, Chanie Walker, Herbert James, Harvey Howette, Bettie Richardson and Nancy Wallace. $11.50 was given by Fulton to help to defray the expenses of the soldiers last Saturday. Many thanks to Fulton. After learning the sad news of the burning down of the home of Bro. Samuel Harris, one of our good and fateful members the members of the Superior Lodge, No. 45, National Ideal Benefit Society donated to him $13.56. The contribution was individual. We plead to all of the members to do the same. A. D. Daniel, P. M.; C. B. Jefferson, recording secretary. CLOSING OF A GREAT REVIVAL Moore Street Baptist Church, Rev. R. O. Johnson, D. D., Pastor—in this country and one of the greatest preachers and evangelists of his day has been with us three weeks, preaching and singing with great power. It is almost needless for me to say anything about the success of the meetings, for the crowds of people who have been oye witnesses to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit can readily testify for themselves. On Sunday last, every available space in our Church was taken, and at night, long before eight-thirty, people had to be turned away. Two hundred souls have been happily converted and our brother leaves us for the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which Rev. Ell Tartte is pastor, Petersburg, Va. We have been helped both spiritually and financially. Yes, Rev. Skipwith is a preacher, singer evangelist and prayer. He is ours. CARD OF THANKS We take this method in thankking our many friends and various organizations for each and every kindness and courtesy shown during the short illness of our dear one who now sleeps, Mrs. Mary L. Jones, and for the many beautiful floral tributes, testimonials and condolences sent on the occasion of her funeral. —Her husband, SEDLEY D.

Yards, has succeeded in getting damages to the amount of $2,000 from the company. Mr. Thomas is also the guardian of the three children of the deceased and his energy in prosecuting the matter to such a conclusion is commendable.

W. Cor. 3rd and Clay St., Richmond, Virginia --- THE PUNCH LAVING CONDITIONS OF NEGROES Negro citizens of Richmond recently appeared before the directors of city departments and requested that the city improve living conditions in old Jackson Ward and other sections where the colored people live, expressly urging that they be given a better light and water supply and that their employment be given members of their race. The hearing at which these matrons were discussed manifested the good feeling which exists between the races in Richmond. The directors and the applicants went into the whole situation thoroughly, and the former showed a sympathetic interest in the aspirations of the latter. Every good white citizen of Richmond wants an improvement in the condition of the Negroes of this city. At times the white citizens, engrossed in their own affairs, may appear unmindful of their interests, but there is no deliberate design to be neglectful of them, but on the contrary, an earnest wish to be helpful. And no body of people is more desirous of their progress than the descendants of the men of Old South, who so thoroughly understood them. It must be admitted that the water and gas supply in the Negro disrict is limited, but this is due, not to any discrimination as to the color of the population, but rather to the fact that the sections in which the colored people live have not recently been improved, and th same is true of the sections where the poorer class of the white people of the city reside. Wealthier white people have been able to get these sections where water and gas mains are plentiful. The Negro has been restricted in his location not so much by the operation of law as by custom, and as a consequence has had to put up with many inconveniences upon a white man could avoid by moving. Streets in Negro districts are in an undeniably sad condition, but this is true of all of Richmond with the exception of the business thorough forces and the streets in the wealthier white residence districts. Indeed, not a cent was spent in Richmond that year for new street work, and very little for repairs on any highway. During the past year street cleaning and garbage service were limited by lack of labor, but the white people were sufferers as well as the colored. But one may look for better conditions in Richmond this year and in the years to come, and the "door of hope" is not to be closed to any man. Careful thought should and will be given to the conditions surrounding the Negroes here, and efforts must be made to make them happy and contented. With road building and paying work a matter of the near future, and there should be employment for and there should be gradual improvement in all conditions concerning which complaint has been made.

Feb. 4th—Fairfax is one of the first Virginia counties to take advantage of the offer of the International Health Board and the State Board of Health to secure the services of a fulltime health officer of a minimum cost for a period of one year. Dr. E. L. Flanagan, who received a commission as captain in the Army Medical Corps, was designated by Dr. Ennion G. Williams, State Health Commissioner to take charge of the work in Fairfax. Captain Flanagan was one of the first of the Health Department's staff to return to civil life following the signing of the armistice, and having previously served the State as a field director for was chosen for the special work in Fairfax.

GREATEST OF ALL STUNTS—CHANGING FROM AEROPLANE TO AEROPLANE WHILE 500 FEET ABOVE THE EARTH. Here is illustrated the greatest stunt ever pulled by a human darodovil. Stevo Brodie proved his nerve, earned a fortune and lasting reputation when he jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge: Daredevil Shroyer sends the creeps up and down thousands of backs when he makes his "dive of death" on a bicycle from the rafters of tall buildings and abandoning his bike in midair, lands in a small tank; the first loop-the-loops caused a sensation, and parachute performers are still earning good money by their daring. But even the ladies and gentlemen who put their heads into lions' mouths have to take a back seat when it comes to this aeroplane stunt—changing from one aeroplane while racing along 500 feet above the ground. This wonderful fount was performed by Loutonant O. Locklear at Barron Field, Fort Worth, Texas, recently and these photographs and the accompanying diagram show just how the affair was done. Lockear suspended himself by the knees like a trapezo performer from the rod connecting the landing wheels of the plane until another aeroplane Hanging with his head down, Locklear had to judge the speed of the two machines and decide the proper fraction of a second to let go and pinge through space. When he figured the time had arrived, the Lieutenant straightened out his legs and slipped from the connecting rod. He calculated his time perfectly and landed on the wing of the lower piano in safety. A miscalculation meant a plunge of 500 feet to death. The photographs were taken from a third plane flying ahead of Locklear's machines. Some stunt CHICAGO NOTES (The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Feb. 20.—The most glamatic and wonderful public demonstration over held in the city of Chicago, took place Monday when the 370th Infantry the old Eighth Illinois was welcomed by the populace. It is not the word of an enthused individual patriot (but the published expression of every daily newspaper in Chicago, and all leading authorities, that never has Chicago seen anything to equal the Monday demonstration. It was more than an event, it marks an epoch, and it is in this light that the story of this occasion is treated. Never have Chicago daily newspapers persisted so much space in news, it has disappeared and long editorials to anything in which the Negro was conneced. Great full page wide headlines, full page illustrations and column editorials announced and welcomed the dusky heroes who won undying fame on the world battle fields of France. Let it be theron, hily understood that it was not a Race event, it was a truly Chicago event in all that the word imple, and is a effect will be felt through out the nation. Mor than 500,000 peo ple viewed the parade in which the conquering heroes marched through the principal throughfares of Chicago's famous loop business district. Business was suspended everywhere, and the en thusam of all the people showed with out a doubt that Chicago, with its great cosmopolitan population, is the climax American city of true democ racy and justice. There was speechmaking by Mayor Thompson, Cols. T. Roberta, O.Duncan and others and the one fact impressest on all was this: The day has come when the door of opportunity in the United States is opened for the Negro, and it must be kept open at all hazards. The men were attired in full military equipment, with steel helmets, rifles, cartridge belts and the paparaphernalia which they chased the Germans back across the Hindenburg line. They are the first soldiers out of Chicago who actually participated in the fighting to return as a unit. Looking to the future, after the men have been demobilized, the fighting men have returned home with the same grim determination to enter in to civile life that they used in chasing the Huns back into their own country Capt. Lewis Johnson, an attorney civil life, and the man who built the first great Negro Y. M. C. A. in this country at Washington, expressed the sentiment of the men when he said: "We intend to get into political and civic affairs and we are determined to be heard. We sacrificed that democracy might be made safe, and we are going to have some say in seeing how the game is carried on at home." Lieut Col. Duncan, the man of whom it was said: "He did not have sense enough to know when to stop floating" stated that the men are all glad to get home, and are very serious in their desire to enter into civil life, now that the fighting is over, and the days of peace are at hand. Col. Duncan also said that he will do all he personally can to keep in touch with the men of his regiment and encourage them. There is active effort being carried out in Chicago. In an organized way, to give employment to everyone of the Negro soldiers returning home. The New York, Suspended Orchestra, under the direction of Will Marion Cook, took Chicago off its foot in delight at the new Orchestra Hall last week. The signs of just recognition is evidenced more and more by the daily press, and this occasion was no exception to the rule in Chicago. Every musical cottle gave a very serious story in comment of the event, and the general admission was that the Nico people of America are the only real resources of native music, and are the only ones who now know how to bring out all that is most effective in tone and harmony. 1.
