THE RICHMOND PLANET RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 17 REV. DR. J. H. EASON IS MYSTIFIED Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Ri Emmond, Va. Dear Brother, I have been watching the development of the National Baptist Convention, andcovery I have read carefully what good habits I have had to say. I (tell) I have discovered a thing that vitaly ase to the situation in our Decomnational work. I explore this confusion in among our brothers. I have not been able to see the right and wrong in the right clear enough to take a stand with either the boy. I have canned myself in trying to maintain the faces and the truth in the premises more than I have about the sides of the controversy. In reading Dr. R. T. Pollard's last article that appeared in the Rolling Stone I spent 1st month. I took my pen and wrote thus: DR. POLLADES STATEMENT We explored reading the article of Row, Per. for trial on the December commission and the National Project control may be taken by an Abkhazian man who is convicted as more than a clever thinker. He said that the Morris fiction app arrived to do everything the James fiction app had to do and the James fiction would not unite. The question that arises in my mind did the Morris fiction app to do or did they do what the James fiction app did? and for how did the James fiction app refuse to punish because the Morris fiction app agreed to do what they acted of them because the Morris fiction failed to do what they asked? QUESTIONS ASKED Pollock and others their talk about the "Cen or and are three" in this National First Convention conover over a certain art and its terminus scientifically or theologically in sense of common perforance. It is usually held that to create me no more than one how of no more, in this sense is the blood of creation of the National Convention to the Convention in that sense a Creator? Again who is meant by "Cencted" in the controversy? It is not possible for a Creator to make a enclosure to control itself? If the Creator should enclosure or not make enclosure self-determining and self-directing, should the Creator damn the enclosure because in or he will not consent for him the Creator to direct or control him. In someone every father is a Creator of his son does this give the father a right to absolutely control the son the offspring of his joins? A FIGHT OF "TERMINOLOGY" Is the National Convention, in any truer sense, the creator of the Publishing Board than the father is, the son. It seems our beirthen's right is largely a fight of "terminology" they are taking words and putting an idea or meaning into them instead of having them convey the idea they contain or stand for by established usage. A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE ANALYZING CONDITIONS Let us see now about the "Control The Jones" faction may mean by "Denominational Control" that when the churches or Baptist folks who are say porting the Publishing house say go on they go, if the churches hold from them support or the r patronage they will have to find out what is the matter with them, the churches, and get back their support by doing what the churches demand of them to have their patronage. Or they, the Jones' faction may mean the having of every NOT AN ACT OF THE CHURCH. WANTS INTERNAL OPINION Give the point of collection of provisions upon the claim that that I provided the Convention and the Council Bill of Attendance. If I did not and the of the Council Bill did not I am known. OLORED SOLDIERS MET THE AN NEXT POST NEWS coontaints. Are Received From Camp Alexander and Camp Stuart. The following letters were received from two soldiers, one stationed at Camp Alexander and the other at Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va. The content is self explanatory: Camp Alexander, Newport News, Va. Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. Dear Sir, in regards of the treatment of the colored soldiers now held in Newport News, we are forced to ask you and other prominent members of the race to take steps to communicate with Irish war officials, who know nothing about the treatment of these humble race men or to make public this statement, as we are not permitted to do such. With the exception of food conditions, which are poor, I am not allowed to mention other treatments. We are asking you to exercise your offices as far as possible. Editor of The Planet Sir—Just to let you know of the disgrateful conditions that exist in Camp Stuart and Newport News, Va. Colored soldiers are forced to work for contractors along with civilians. The officers get graft money from the contractors. Every day a certain contractor calls on a certain army officer commanding a labor battalion for men. His request is always granted. The men are being forced to disditches for this contractor while Lieutenant pets the pay. Why, Neuro soldiers are making Southern army officers rich. These Southern army officers form labor battalions to keep Neuro soldiers at Camp Stuart in service. The reason for this is that they are getting thousands of dollars graft money working Neuro soldiers for contractors. Conditions in Newport News are so恶劣. White soldiers are permitted to go into colored restricted districts and have openly insulted women. The M. P. Palow the white soldiers to do whatever they wish to colored citizens while Neuro soldiers are brutally handled and locked up in the guard house. They are found in the so called "forbidden" districts. Wow, Mr. Editor, you would be surprised at the real conditions that exist here. The decent class of colored citizens seem powerless to remedy these conditions. I ask that you be kind enough to publish this letter, but the colored people know what the "cultured" and "pious" Anglo-Saxon's interpretation of real democracy is—OPPRESSION. PRIVATE J.

Dear Sir, I declare the afternoon paper of yesterday that Key, Dr. Rushell Good, Chairman of the R.C.

Dear Sir, I beg to acknowledge to opt of your communication of February 10 relative to the excavation of colored people from the Billy Sammy meetings at the City Auditorium, and in reply write to advise as follows: When arrangements for the opening of the Auditorium for these meetings were completed a conference was held at the Auditorium between the Chief of Police Chief of the University of Building Injection Mr. Walker of the Sunday Party and others. The Chief of Police asked what provision had been made for the excavation of the colored people and was advised that no arrangements had been made for their accommodation. The police officers stationed at the Auditorium have nothing to do with the arrangements for the excavation nor the designation of seals except to order in carrying out the plans pre-murdered by those of the colored party in authority and to enforce the laws and ordinances. I am colored people have been demeaned admired so the Auditorium it was done by season of the fact that the provision had been made by the Sunday Party for their accommodation. I am advised that during the entire time the meetings have been in progress not more than ten or twelve of our colored citizens have presented themselves at the Auditorium and asked for admission.

I am, Sir. Your obedient servant. For the Acting Secretary of State: WILLIAM PHILLIPS. Assistant Secretary SATURDAY ```markdown ``` SENATORS LAMBAST BRITISH-WILSON PEACE LEAGUE Washington, February 27.—The revelations of today exhibited in high lights the disappointment, the chagrin and even the sympathetic em barrassment suffered by the members of the Foreign Relations Committee who attended the dinner at the White House on Wednesday night. At midnight last night and early this morning Senators and Representatives who had labored to penetrate Mr. Wilson's mind and to understand his policies were themselves so weary and mind muddled that they were unable to discuss coherently what had taken place. This afternoon when they had had opportunity to get together to compare notes and to check up one another's recollection they were able to present a clear account of the conversation. The result of this symposium is indeed amazing. Senator Brandege (Conn.) expresses it in a phrase: "I feel as if I had been wandering with Alice in Wonderland and had tea with the Mad Hatter. When I awakened this morning I expected the White Rabbit waiting to go to breakfast with me." Senators and Representatives who went to the dinner and heard Mr. Wilson deliver a prose poem enologizing the British-Wilson League of Nations plan, and who tried by persistent questioning to get detailed information about the plan, declare they marvelled at Mr. Wilson's apparent ignorance about parts of the league's constitution. "This astonished and embarrassed most of the men, who pressing question after question upon the President, finally became aware of his lack of precise knowledge concerning all of the twenty six articles. BLUSHING EMBARRASSMENT One Senator said to The Sun correspondent: "Believe me, I felt the same blushing embarrassment that used to come over me as a small boy when some boy friend with a balty memory forgot the piece he was hidden to recite and broke down in the middle of it." Touching on this matter the impressions of several Senators may be found interesting. Senator Knox (Pa.) remarked to a group of friends: "The President displayed amazing lack of fan'rarity with the proposed league constitution." Senator Lodge (Mass.), putting the thought another way, said: "The President seemed actually befuddled about many most important points." Senator William Alden Smith (Mich.) confided: "The President's ignorance of the terms of the covenant was amazing." Senator Brandegee (Conn.) sald: "With the wide open eyes of an ingenee the President met every legal, constitutional or common sense question with glittering generalities." Even more interesting were totally unexpected admissions the President was induced to make. It is the opinion of a number of Senators that unwittingly perhaps he has slain the infant of his dreams by these confessions. SCRAPS OF INFORMATION Pressed by men eager for scraps of information, prominent among whom were Senator Brandogee and Representative Henry W. Temple (Pa.) and of Willard Ragsad (S. C.) the President stated with finality that— 1. The League of Nations will not prevent war. 2. The United States must surrender vital points of sovereignty. 3. Ireland is to be left to the merces of England. 4. Chinese and Japanese exclusion go out of American control into the hands of the League Council. 5. The Monroe Doctrine will be extended to the whole world. 6. The present constitution is British made, the French, American and Italian drafts having been rejected. 7. American troops could be compelled at need to participate in purely European wars. 8. The United States could withdraw from the league at any time. Every Senator — Knox, Lodge, Brandegee, McCumber, Hitchcock, to name a few who discussed the dinner today — agreed that the President actually made these statements or admissions. The Republicans naturally were clated. The Democrats were correspondingly downcast. Senator Lewis (III) paced the Senate corridors, this afternoon muttering: "He made a great mistake; oh, dear, I fear he has made a fearful error." Senators that know their constituents predicted today—that just as soon as the force and significance of Mr. Wilson's admission that the league will not stop war sinks into the comprehension of the plain people there will be a revulsion of feeling even among the most sentimental of Mr. Wilson's followers. Senator New (Ind.), who is rated as one of the most level headed men in the United States Senate, keeping always in closest touch with the feeling in his home State, said to The Sun correspondent this evening: "Out in Indiana and throughout the West and middle West there are hundreds of thousands of people who have not had the time or could not take the trouble to analyze this League of Nations project, but in their hearts they knew they would be for anything that would wipe out war. For that reason many of them have leaned to the President's ideas. Now he comes along and says bluntly that the league won't stop war. This alone is enough to kill the crazy project." Mr. Wilson's dinner guests scarcely believed that $h_0$ would admit the necessity for surrendering vital points of American nationality, yet he admitted it instantly and lightly, as if, Senators said, it was of no particular consequence. This only extenuation was that "to gain something, something had to be given up," and to this conclusion he attached a theory which the constitutional lawyers present declared amazing; that wherever the Constitution of the United States conflicted with the superstate then the Constitution of the United States would override the supercovenant. It was about here that Senator Brandegee admits that he started to walk with Alice. IRISH LEADERS WHITE WITH ANGER. But no one of his admissions has produced sharper anger than his statement in reply to a question by Repre sentative Rapssdale (S. C.) that Ireland and the Irish question was to be left by the league solely to the wisdom and Judgment of England. Hearing that the President had made this statement a committee of Irish Americans, all eager advocates of the Irish republic and of Irish independence, hurried to Washington to get the exact facts. This committee was headed by Daniel F. Cohalan, a Justice of the Supreme Court of New York. Justice Cohalan promptly satisfied himself that the President had abandoned Ireland, or rather that the British Wilson league had abandoned her. This discovery made the Irish white with anger. The description is exact and literal. As Justice Cohalan discussed the matter he was at times hardly able to speak coherently. One of his companions said: "Wilson is not now for Ireland, and he has never been for Ireland. He has been hypocritical all along the line, but we have caught him in the act. His championship of small nations is a sickening farce. Wait till the Irish in America get the news of this." Making all allowances it may not be difficult to understand the mood these men are in. The fact that Frank P. Walsh, recently chairman of the War Labor Board and an ardent Wilsonian, has talked to Cohn lan and is now said to be against the League of Nations plan has its own meaning. THE PACIFIC COAST IS MUCH CONCERNED. Western Senators declare that Mr. Wilson's admission that the League of Nations will take out of the hands of the United States the right to say whether there shall be restricted Chinese and Japanese immigration is enough to dama the project on the Pacific Coast. It is said that several Senators could hardly believe their ears when the President voiced this statement. It was hard to get him in a corner as regards the Monroe Doctrine. He met all questions relative to the probability that the league would abrogate this distinctly American policy and safeguard by replies which stated that there would be no abrogation, but that the Monroe Doctrine actually would be extended to the whole world. When Senator Brandegee sought to argue the point by offering theoretical problems the, President waved them aside with general statements in which the words and phrases, "good of humanity," "America's duty to mankind," "idealism," "service" and "disinterested service" filled the ears of his hearers. The President admitted, it was said, that the proposed constitution of the league is British made, saying there had been four drafts offered at the conference and that after all of them had been examined the British proposal seemed best to cover the ground. The point as to whether American soldiers could be compelled to fight in European quarrels or Asiatic quarrels if the United States joined the league was settled by him squarely in the affirmative. The Senators and Representatives pressed this question home until Mr. Wilson could no longer indulge in generalities. Finally he said membership in the league need not necessarily be permanent; that the United States could withdraw at any time it saw fit. DISCUSSION IN THE EAST ROOM This whole discussion took place in the East Room of the White House and covered nearly two hours. It would have lasted longer except that some of the guests say they felt embarrassment because of the President's apparent unfamiliarity with the language and meaning of a number of articles of the covenant. The discussion began with a short address by the President in which he renewed the appeals and the threats that were contained in his Boston speech—the sentimental duty of the United States the worthlessness of a peace treaty without a League of Nations, the fear of European Governments that there may be a crash all around if the league fails. Then he asked his guests if they had questions to ask him. The response was immediate and pointed. Questions were asked by Senator Knox, Brandegee, Hitchcock, McCumber, Lodge, Pittman and others of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and by Representatives Ragdale, Temple and others of the House THE RICHMOND PLANET Foreign Relations Committee. Gradually Sonator Brandegee, an exceptionally able cross-examiner, took charge of the inquisition, other Senators finding their own queries expressed in Brandegee's phrases. He asked the President how many drafts of a proposed constitution for the league had been mad₀ and by whom. The President replied there had been four, one by Great Britain one₀ by France, one by the United States ad one by Italy. "Which was accepted?" inquired Senator Brandegee. "The British," replied the President. "What was done with the rejected drafts?" Brandegee asked. "They were put aside," Mr. Wilson explained. "Well, Mr. President," said Senator Brandegee slowly, "we would like to be able to examine those other drafts—to compare them with the accepted drafts so as to familiarize ourselves with the differences. "I see no objection to that," said the President. "Then," pursued the Senator from Connecticut. "will it not be possible to have those rejected drafts printed for our information?" "I should think," agreed the President, "that that would be possible." Representative Ragsdale then asked Mr. Wilson if in his opinion the League of Nations would not destroy the Monroe Doctrine. "Not at all," said the President. "The league would extend the Monroe Doctrine to the entire world." "With your permission, Mr. President," said Senator Brandegee, "let us examine that proposition. Suppose this case; Suppose that Brazil should at some time in the future desire to resume her former relations with Portugal; suppose that she agreed to accept a junior Prince of Portugal. If Portugal happens to be a monarchy, as her ruler; would the United States as a member of the League of Nations still retain her right to interfere with this arrangement? Apply that argument to any other Latin American country which in times past was under Spanish domination and which might through a peculiar turn of circumstances be led to resume the ancient arrangement. Would the United States still have, the authority to prevent an extension of European authority in this hemisphere?" "That is inconceivable," said the President. "It might happen," persisted Bran degree. "Well, then, it would be very disressing," declared the President. "Most distressing," said Brandegee dryly. CAN WITHDRAW FROM LEAGUE. The conversation shifted and twisted in accordance with the questions that occurred to various Senators. It was Brandegee again who requested the President to make clear whether the United States was privileged to withdraw from the league if it should see fit. The President said that was his interpretation. "You will recall," said the Senator "that a similar proposition arose in this country some years ago after the States had entered a league without specifying 'the right of any to withdraw and that it took four years of bitter warfare to settle the point that no State could withdraw." The President replied that the cases were not the same at all; that this arrangement was who's voluntary; that it was based upon mutual understanding and good will; that it was in the interests of humanity; that in all probability it would hold together indefinitely. He would not deny however, that the possibility of the United States desiring to withdraw might arise. In $n$ that case he was sure the United States could exercises that right. "But," said Brandegee, "we would go into this league as the sponsors guarantors and protectors of Poland, Armenia and perhaps other small, helpless nations. Could we then withdraw and leave them helpless and undefended, deserted by the very nation $n$ that had promised to guard them?" Mr. Wilson's reply was so generally couched that not all of the Senators who sought to recall it this evening could agree on its phrasology. He repeated, though, that such an event would be very distressing and again Brandege agreed that it would be most interesting. LEAGUE IGNORES IRISH ISSUE Representative Rassadale (S. C.) fired the Irish shot. "Mr. President," he inquired, "what does the League of Nations purpose to do as regards Ireland?" "It was decided," said the President, "to leave the case of Ireland to Great Britain as a domestic matter outside the province of the League of Nations." The topic was not pressed. Representative Temple (Penn.) returned to the topic of how and why the British draft for a constitution of a League of Nations was adopted. Here as reported by various Senators the President became elusive, though very suave. All they extracted from him in the renewal of the topic was that the draft British made was virtually the idea put forward by Gen. Jan Smuts of South Africa. Senator Knox pressed home the question of probable surrender of American sovereignty. The President agreed that the surrender on some points (he did not specify them) was to be expected, assert ng that no gain could be had un'ess something was given up. Mr. Knox, one of the great constitutional lawyer of America, wanted to know what would happen if the Constitution of the United States conflicted at some vital point with the constitution of the League of Nat'ons. It was then that the President made the positive startling rejoinder that the American Constitution would override the league constitution. Even some of the Democrats who had remained silent glanced at each other doubtfully or perhaps; amazed. Here was the President saying with one voice that the constitution of $th_0$ superstate must be final and in the next breath asserting that whenever a pinch came an article which conflicted with the Constitution of the United States could be disregarded. Senator Brandeger was reminded of that say of Macaulay's about John Stuart Mill, that often he essayed to prove a thing was true because the facts were against it. The foregoing embodies the principal facts of the celebrated dinner. They are offered from the fresh recollection of half a dozen most enlighten Senators, all of whom agree on the essentials. It may be guesses, therefore, what a turnover of opinion Washington is now in. Florence S. C. Notes (E. B. Webster.) Florcee, S.

Attention is called by some of our influential race journals to the fact that our ministers frequently make church officers of the most illiterate of their congregation so that they, the ministers, can have their own way in dealing w'la the church business. But how about the care of the poor and the needed legislation on the part of the Church for the development of our young people? All is in a manner neglected.

EASON IS MYSTIFIED Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va. Dear Brother,—I have been watching the development of the National Baptist Convention controversy—I have read carefully what both factions have had to say. I feel I have discovered a thing that vally aids to the situation in our Denominational work. I deplore this confusion among our brethren. I have not been able to see the right and wrong in the fight clear enough to take a stand with either facion. I have concerned my self in trying to ascertain the facts in truth in the premises more than I have about the details of the controversy. In reading Dr. R. T. Pollard's last article that appeared in the Richmond Plane: last month, I took my pen and wrote thus: DR. POLLARD'S STATEMENT We enjoyed reading the article of Rev. Dr. Pollard on the December commission and the National Baptist controversy because he is an Alabama man—who is regarded as more than a clever thinker: He said that the Morris faction agreed to do everything the Jones' faction asked to be done and the Jones faction would not unite. The question that lies in my mind did Morris faction agree to do or did they do what the Jones' faction asked? and for her did the Jones faction refuse to reunite because the Morris faction failed to agree to do what they asked of them or because the Morris faction failed to do what they asked? QUESTIONS ASKED: Second, Pollard and others that talk about the "Crea or and creature" in this National Baptist Convention controversy are either not using terms scientifically or theologically, in sense of common parlance. If is highly held that to create means to make a creature out of nothing. In this sense is the Born in the Form of the National Convention? Is the Convention in that sense a Creator? Again what is meant by "Control" in the controversy? Is it possible for a Creator to make a creature to control itself? If the Creator or should create or make creature self-determining and self-directing, should the Creator damn the creature because it or he will not consent for him, the Creator or direct or control him. In some cases, the Creator is a Creator of his son, does this give the father right to absolutely control the son the offspring of his loins? A FIGHT OF "TERMINOLOGY" Is the National Convention 'n any truer sense the creator of the Publishing Board than the father is the son. It seems our brethren's fight is largely a fight of "terminology" they are taking words and putting an idea into words. It is the idea that they convey the idea they contain or stand for by established usage. A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE ANALYZING CONDITIONS. Let us see now about the "Control The Jones" faction may mean by "Demonominal Con roi" that when the churches or Baptist folks who are sup porting the Publishing House say go on they go, if the churches hold from them support or the rer patronage they will have to find out what is the mat rion of the church and get back their support by doing the churches demand of them to have their patronage. Or they, the Jones' faction may mean the having of every church that supports the library house to take a measure in its orce. church business meeting, that affects the Board or Publ shing house and vote on its letting the decision of the majority of all the churches voting thus be the command of the "De- nomination" that they will obey. The Morris faction seems to mean by "Dem- national Control," 'Convention Control, that is the Convention to that usus to put the Publ shing House about—having of messengers instructed or uninspected by the churches in the Convention to say what the Board that operates the work of the Publishing house must do. Mark you I say "messengers" not delegates on Baptist principle thy churches cannot delegate their power. NOT AN ACT OF THE CHURCH What a representative of a church does in the National Convention or any other Convention or Association is not necessary the act of the church that sent him. It is what he thinks best to do but it may not be the will of the church that sent him. This kind of Demonstrational or Convention Control would not be in a real sense control by the churches but the control by individuals and such a control that the churches could not reverse the decision of the individuals that control. If the Convention control the Board who will control the Convention? Do you answer the churches? Then that would leave the churches to $t_0$ control the Convention. How are they supposed to control the convention do or not do what they see? is it by refusing to answer it, that is the Convention? Can't they the churches, can not a Board in his way easier than they can a Convention? It may be they can, and it may be they cannot. We need to thrash these questions out in debate, until we get together in use of terms. WANTS EDITORIAL OPINION Give me my opinion of my size up of the si stion that is troubling the Convention, and the Colored Bapt 1st of America. If th's is not the size of it, tell me what is it? I am anx ous to know. Yours truly, —J. H. EASON COLORIED SOLDIERS MISTREAT IN NEWPORT NEWS. Compaints Are Received From Camp Alexander and Camp Stuart. The following letters were received from two soldiers, one stationed at Camp Alexander and the other at Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va. The contents are self-explanatory: Camp Alexander, Newport News, Va. Hon, John Mitchell, Jr. Dear Sir,—In regards of the treatment of the colored soldiers now held in Newport News, we are forced to ask you and other prominent members of the race to take steps to communicate with high war officials, who know nothing about the treatment of these humble race men or their treatment, as we are not permitted to do such. With the exception of food conditions, which are poor, I am not allowed to mention other treatments. We are asking you to exercise your offices as far as possible. Editor of The Planet. Sir..Just to let you know of the disgraceful conditions that exist in Camp Stuart and Newport News, Va. Colored soldiers are forced to work for contractors along with civilians. The officers get graft money from the contractors. Every day a certain contractor calls on a certain army officer commanding a labor battalion for men. His request is always granted. The men are being forced to dig ditches for this contractor while Lieutenant gets the pay. Why, Negro soldiers are making Southern army officers rich. These Southern army officers form labor battalions to keep Negro soldiers at Camp Stuart in service. The reason for th is that they are getting thousands of dollars graft money working Negro soldiers for contractors. Conditions in Newport News are seandalous. White soldiers are permitted to go into colored restricted districts and have openly insulted colored women. The M. P. al o the white soldiers to do whatever they wish to colored citizens while Negro soldiers are brutally handled and locked up in the guard house they are found in the so-called "forbidden" districts. Why, Mr. Editor, you would be surprised at the real conditions that exist here. The deconct class of colored citizens seem powerless to remedy the $_{6}$ conditions. I ask that you be kind enough to publish this letter and let the colored people know what the "cultured" and "pious" Anglo Saxon's interpretation of real democracy is—OPPRESSION. PRIVATE J.

A prompt reply will be appreciated. With sincere regard, I am. Very truly yours, JOHN MITCHELL, JR. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Mechanics Savings Bank, Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir,—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of February 19th relative to the excision of colored people from the Billy Sunny meetings at the City Auditorium, and in reply wist to advise as follows: When arrangements for the opening of the Auditorium for these meetings were being completed a conference was held at the Auditorium between the Chief of Police, Chief of the Bureau of Building, Inspection, Mr. Walker of the Sunday Party and others. The Chief of Police asked what provision had been made for the accommodation of the colored people and was advised that no arrangements had been made for their accommodation. The Police Officers stationed at the Auditorium have nothing ever to do with the arrangements for the meetings nor the designation of seats except to assist in carrying out the rules promulgated by those of the Sunday Party in authority and to enforce the laws and ordinances. If any colored people have been denied admitance to the Auditorium, it was done by reason of the fact that no provision had been made by the Sunday Party for their accommodation. I am advised that during the entire time the meetings have been in progress not more than ten or twelve of our colored citizens have presented themselves at the Auditorium and asked for admission. Very respectfully, W. M. MYERS, Director. THE PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS. The following correspondence explains itself: Richmond, Va., Feb. 17, 1919. Hon. Alvey A. Adee. Second Assistant Secretary, Department of State, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir, I see from the Associated Press Dispatch from Paris, under date of February 15, 1919 that African Congress will assemble in that city. February 19, 1919 Kindly advise if you have any further information upon this subject and whether or not the French Government has changed its attitude relative to the holding of such a Conference. A prompt reply will be appreciated. Very truly yours, JOHN MITCHELL, JR. Mr. John Mitchell, Junior. Pres. Michael Banks, Bank, Rishmand, Virgilia. Sir.-The Department has received your letter of February 17, 1919, in which with reference to an Associated Press despatch from Paris dated February 15 to the effect that the Pan-African Congress would assemble there on 1 February 19 you ask whether this Department possess any further information upon the subject particularly as to whether the French Government has altered its attitude toward the holding of such a Conference. In reply you are advised that, although such a Conference was held it was not held with the approval of the French Government*. It was there fore of a wholly private and unofficial character. I am, Sir. Your obedient servant. For the Acting Secretary of State: WILLIAM PHILLIPS. Assistant Secretary --- LIBERTY The following is an editorial comment from the New York Tribune of recent date: Why any one should become excited over the return of Negro soldiers from France is as perplexing as patriotic Americans as it is discouraging to the Negroes themselves, who have supported with remarkable and ready energy over movement necessary for national success in the war. In the South both races have worked together in food conservation, war savings, Liberty bonds and other campaign and in these patriotic cooperative efforts have found a new relationship of friendly feeling and sympathy which, if retained, would help to bridge the critical stream of reconstruction and reabsorption of Negro soldiers into civil life. Resolutions adopted at the recent annual conference at Tuskegee Institute said: "During the war period whites and Negroes cooperated in subscribing to Liberty bonds, in purchasing war savings stamps, in food production and in food conservation, and in other war work activities. From various communities the white and black soldiers were sent away with the same hearty god speed and in many instances under the auspices of the same committee. As a result of working together in these war work activities whites and Negroes through out this Southland were brought into a more helpful relationship. Each learned to expect more of the other. It is the earnest desire of this conference, in these times of peace, that this spirit of cooperation will con time, and grow stronger and more hepful, and thus contribute in a larger way to the growth and development of the South." Surely, no better spirit could be asked. Yet reports from Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee say something akin to the Ku Klux Klan is being revived It is almost unbelievable. The feeling of the Negroes as reflected in their newspapers is on $_{0}$ of bitterness, discouragement and pathetic despair. Happily, sentiment appears divided The Mayor of Knoxville, on receipt of a letter from an organizer of the secret society in his state, called together a group of leading Negroes of Knoxville and said he'd not feel a branch of the organization was necessary in his city. The name of Governor Roberts of Tennessee having appeared on the list of members, he repudiated the organization and gave out an interview saying the use of his name was a forgery. An ill day will arrive if there is a revival of racial animosity in the South. THE HELL FIGHTERS The Jewish Daily News made the following comment on the homecoming of the famous Fifteenth New York Regiment from the fields of France: Yesterday, New York citizens acclaimed the home-coming of the 369th Infantry, the former Fifteenth National Guard Regiment, composed exclusively of colored men. The story of their bravery—"Hell Fighters"—they were called, will live forever in the annals of America. And when the story of the Great War will be told, the achievements of the 369th Infantry will stand forth as one of the greatest acts of bravery of the boys who formed the American Expeditionary Force. The regiment originally was 2000 strong. Of the original unit only 1200 remain. Men of the Regiment have gained the Croix de Guerre, the Distinguished Service Cross, and very many of them have been cited for Uses of valor. When the heart is white the color of the skin is of no consequence. This the war has established for all time. For the time being the colorful soldiers are receiving the plaudits of the populace. These Negroes have helped to win the war. Let us hope that their unflinching courage in the face of death will be remembered and that there will be fewer lynching parties in this country. Projudice is not easily eradicated. There is always the sentiment expressed in the old doggerel, "I do not like thee Dr Fell; The reason why I cannot tell. But this I know and know full well, I do not like thee Dr Fell." To the majority of people that is sufficient. Predjudice is unreasoning. You hear people say, "We don't like the niggers." They don't why. They just say it. If they would only stop to think. But far too many people either lack the brains or are too lazy to think. It is much easier to be swayed by one's preconceived notions. Yesterday as Col. Hayward's "Hell Fighters" marched up Fifth Avenue on their way to Harlem the air rang with the hurrahs of the thousands who lived the streets. It was a mighty fine welcome. When the men of the 369th Regiment apply for a job, we hope that the welcome will be just as hearty, and that the fact that the color of their skins is not white will not mitigate against them being given employment. Brave Negro Soldiers, with hearts white through and through! Into the jaws of death they dashed and holding the Stars and Stripes aloft they carried Old Glory to victory. Lot us remember that, for at some future time there may come a Dr. Simons and blame the upper section of Harlem, where the colored people live, for any sin any Negro may commit anywhere on God's earth. Prejudice dies hard. All honor to the returning heroes! Color, after all, is of no consequence. We have known some white men to be arrant cowards. JOSEPH C. MANNING Mr. Mauning is a Southerner who knows both the South and the North, both white and black. Some of us may not agree with all of his ideas, but we must generally agree with his ideals of a democracy without Race or color prejudice. The Negro is not as shrewd as the white man in such matters. When the whites find a Negro whose ideals "along the color line," are aggressive to them, they push that Negro. When a white man comes talking "too straight" on the race problems, the colored people get suspicious. It all seems too good to colored people to be true. They say: "that white man is after something." That is natural, the blacks have been "done" so many times. Especially is the Negro suspicious when the white man presents to him a pro-Negro cause that "needs money." It ought to be pro-supposed that anybody or any organization that espouses a cause so unpopular, will be in need of money for most of nonpurpose juvenile out, out for the Advancement of Colored Peo le is in constant need of money, more money, and all of the organizations, educational societies and philanthropies that do work for American Negroes are and will be for some years to come "in need of money." The cause is not so popular that the Phi risee will rush forward and dump all of his cash into its coffers. Manning is not endowed, and if he fights for a democracy that we include the black people in the United States, he is going to be in need of plain money for most of the time. Many have gone to the wall in that fight, and others will go. But the fight will go on, because there are brave hearts in the bosoms of men, of many men. Manning, with his aptitude and vigor of expression, could be a very healthy white man by fighting, abusing and shattering the American Negro. So far as academic and oratorial fitness is concerned, he could have beat Vardaman and Tillman in that business. If he wanted money and on by money, he might turn even now and go and get more and more of it, than he will ever get by talking about plain justice to the Negro. When a white man offers fair play along with other peoples in America to the Negro, he should not be turned aside auspiciously. Give him a fair chance and take him for what he proves himself to be. I knew Manning when he was a successful politician in Alabama, and he was just as true to the cause of doocracy and fair play then as he is in New York. That is largely the rea son why he is now in New York rath er than in Alabama. — (Editorial Correspondence in The Boston Chronicle.) YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO NOTES.

Our Secretary could not very well open his mouth for he was surprised. He said that the greatest thing that was upon his heart was the other man and not himself, thus he was completely surprised.

The whole world seems to be upside down. The people in it have been that way for some time. Easy street is a good place to live, but as a rule it is the principal high way to the poor-house. We have a new system of government and a new system of taxation goes woth a new system of government. We should continue to practice positeness among ourselves and in our dealings with our white neighbors. The white folks are trying hard to forget race prejudice, but God knows they are having a hard time doing it. Every one wants to go to Heaven, but few people are willing to make the necessary sacrifices in order to get there. Mr. Billy Sunday has gone. Colored folks did not hear him and the local committee of arrangements was responsible. --- Death seems to be the only relief that some people can get from their troubles and most of us do not desire that kind of relief. Some people work as little as possible and loaf all that they can. They are sapping the vital energy in their own systems and will ultimately pay the price in the long run. This is a world of deception, the professing one thing and doing another. A remedy is proposed to cure an ailment. The result is that it kills the patient. They sentenced colored folks to heavy punishment for trivial offenses. Now the reports from France show that they got in the habit and that they proceeded to treat white men in the same way. Colored folks have been fighting for their country over in Euorpe, but they met race prejudice there as an enemy as much so as they did the German troops with whom they had to contend. The Richmond City School Board is now conending that under the new arrangements of taxation,' the appropriation for schools will be reduced about three hundred thousand dollars, when as a matter of fact they wanted it increased that amount. The Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church is asking the dance halls of the city to close during the time of their revival. The experiences in the past have been that a good old fashioned revival would automatically close the dance halls. Mourners would have no use for those places when they were seeking religion. The action of certain United States Senators informally notifying the country that they will vote against the League of Nations constitution as championed by President Woodrow Wilson will place him in a most embarrassing position at the Peace Conference in Paris. --- The colored people were unkitted in their attitude towards the Billy Sun day meetings and they resented an insult in the best manner that an insult of that kind can be resented. They prayed for their enemies and trainees and used no unkind words towards those white folks, who had despitefully used them. After reading the very able analysis of the League of Nations constitution by Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania in the United States Senate one is forced to the conclusion that the greatest statesmen in the world are not now assembled around the peace table in France. It is a most embarrassing fact that in the upheavals incident to the recognition of the rights and privileges of the common people, demagogues and men with little minds are occupying the leading positions upon the rostrum of the world. Senator Knox logs made a valuable contribution to current literature and practically all of his logic is unanswerable. --- DR. KELLY MILLER'S PAMPHLET We have received "The Negro in the New Reconstruction" by Kelly Miller, A. M., D. D. This is to our minds, the greatest of all of his contributions to the public. He gives expression to great principles and in a language that the humblest can understand. His diction is admirable, his references to present day happenings pointed and his figures of speech grand. In emphasizing the axiomatic fact that "revolutions never go back ward," he uses the following language: Revolutions never go backward. When a nation puts its hands to the plow of liberty, although it might wastily reverse its vision, yet the furrow which marks the forward path can never be effaced. Revolutions always lessen the domain of oppression and increase the area of liberty. By the inexorable logic of events, the poor and oppressed receive the chief benefits of these great movements of history. The world convuls precipitate the showers of liberty whose droppings fall upon the needy and neglected of the children of men. The despised Jow of Europe the oppressed millions of Asia, the Negro in Africa and America and the under-man throughout the world will be the beneficaries of the blessings which flow from the greatest epoch in the history of social revolution. We will no risk the chance of quoting further from this admirable phillipic, else we might be tempted to reproduce it in its entirety and we feel sure that he does not want us to $ \mathbf{d}_{0} $ that. It may be obtained for ten cents by addressing Prof. Kelly Miller Howard University, Washington AN ECHO FROM THE BILLY SUNDAY MEETINGS. We do not believe that there will be any difficulty in placing the responsibility for the treatment of the colored people at the Billy Sunday meetings held recently in the City Auditorium under the management of Rev. Dr. Russell Cecil, Chairman of the Richmond Sunday Campaign in view of the plain statement made by Col. William M. Myers, Director of Public Safety. The Chief of Police asked what provision had been made for the accommodation of the colored people and he was advised that no arrangements had been made for their accommodation. If Rev. Dr. Cecil made no arrangements for the colored people and the committee of which he was chairman made no arrangements for them, what else were the police-officers to do but to turn away those who applied at the City Auditorium for admission. The impression has gone for h that the Chief of Police and the Director of Public Safety or vice-versa, on their own motion ordered respectable colored people from the Billy Sunday meetings. According to Col. Myers statement and upon the authority of the Chief of Police, they did not do anything of the kind. Col. Myers is emphatic in his state ment when he says: "The police officers stationed at the Auditorium have nothing whatever to do with the arrangements for the meet ngs nor the designation of seats except to assist in carrying out the rules promulgated by those of the Sunday party in authority and to enforce the laws and ordinances. "If any cooled people have been denied admittance, it was done by reason of the fact that no provision had been made by the Sunday party for their accommodation." From this information it will be seen that Mr. Walker of the Sunday Party seems to have forgotten us or deliberately ignored us and Rev. Dr. Russell Cecil, when he found out that hundreds of our best white people, including Mr. Billy Sunday Kim self were wrought up over the discrimination proceeded to make desperate efforts to remedy the snub or THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA oversight. Who can blame the Baptist Ministers' Conference under the leadership of President Evans Payne and the Ministerial Alliance under the leadership of President M. E. Davis for the position taken by he? They assumed a self-respecting attitude that was overwhelmingly endorsed by the colored people of Richmond. They did not use bitter inventives in condemnation of this treatment, but simply conducted revival services in their own churches and refused to accept eleventh hour concerts at the Billy Sunday meetings. This experience has been of great value, showing that intelligent conservative leadership is still at a premium and that in religious matters at least the colored people of this community will harken to the call and listen to the advice of those men, whom God has chosen to lead them. The daily papers report that only about twenty-one colored people occupied the gallery at the City Auditorium when the call was made over the protest of the colored ministers. The colored population of Ridumont is over sixty thousand. This echo from the great religious gathering will benefit colored people and white people and white people too in other cities. Outsiders or "insiders," who believe that there is a great gulf beween the better class of white people and the better class of colored are mistaken. They can live on the opposite sides of the streets without wounding the feelings of each other and they can mutually help in the great work of making this the greatest metropolis in the United States of America.

TURNER MAKES DISCOVERY Philadelphia Physician Presents to the U. S. Government and Medical Profession a Now that Simple Remedy for the Relief of Dropsy. Dr. John P. Turner of Philadelphia, for the most eighteen months, has been quietly perforating a treatment that gives 100 percent success in the relief of dropsical swellings of the foot, ankles, legs and thighs, many doctors throughout the United States are now using the remedy. Everybody stands in dread of dropsy. It is a symptom that causes intense suffering in distress, when advenued. It is usually the result of heart or kidney disease. We can all picture the poor fortune *o* who has been bedfast for several weeks suffering with Bright's disease. His feet and legs are now swollen and he is so short of breath he can't lie down. He presents a picture of absolute despair. It was at the beds de of just such a case, Dr. Turner resolved *t*₀ find something that would bring relief to such sufferers. The king first of all to do was to talk away the swelling, (remove the water from the tissues.) As a physician, he knew about the theory of Osmosis as taught in chemistry. Working in this, he used a hot concentrated solut on of M nesium Sulphate locally on the swollen parts with the seum ing and soaking process used, taking an hour for a treatment the swelling had entirely disappeared in twenty four hours. During this period there were three treatments. Scores of obstinate cases have been treated and the swolling completely relieved by Dr. Turner. Many physicians throughout the country are enthusiastic about the treatment. Dr. Turner has presented his discovery to the United States Government for the treatment of ro turning soldiers from overseas. It is a fact as result of exposure in the treachery many of our men our suffer eyes of Brights disease with the accompanying swelling. Dr. Turner was born at Raleigh, N. C. He has practiced medicine in Philadelphia the past thirteen years. The doctor is the first colored physician to be appointed Medical Inspector of Public Schools of Philadelphia a position he has held since 1912. He is Vice President of the National Medical Association, (composed of the Colored Physicians, dentist and druggists of the U. S.) This contribution of Dr. Turner to Medical Science will be a boon to suffering humanity. SAVR YOUR MONEY. To help every individual develop habits of wise saving which will lend to his own prosperity and necessarily to the prosperity of the nation, there has been established a newly-organized Savings Division in the United States Treasury. The immediate object of the work of the Savings Divis on will be to preserve the nation's war-taught habits of economy and to encourage each individual to accumulate a funds which may be profitably loaned to the government. Through the small securities offered by the government such as Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps, the privilege is not being restricted to a wealthy few, but to practically every man, woman and child in the country, can have a share in helping the government meet its many war obligations and carry out the plans of peace. If War Savings Stamps cannot be bought outright, extra pennies can be put into twenty five cent Thrift Stamps. When sixen five of these are collected they can be exchanged for a War Savings Stamp. Both Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps are obtainable in any post office, or bank and at many faciocies and stores, etc. The ultimate object of the Treasury's intensive hrft campaign will be to bring home to every American the great personal value of intelligent saving. Stress will be laid on wise buying and investment in absolutely safe securities, such as the government offers, and an avoidance of all wasto. It is hoped to make these principles permanent habits of everyday life and thus assuhe steady prosperity to the nation and to the individual. It is pointed out that saving does not mean hearding. Saving means a balancing of present needs against future needs, and putting the money which would be allowed to slip away on unnecessaries into interest-bearing investment. Saving means care of present needs and increasing other wise carelessly spent money, for future needs and even luxuries. It is the road to Easy Street. In order to reach every place and every person in the country with their message the Savings Division of the Treasury has divided up the work according to Federal Reserve Districts. Each Federal Reserve Governor is in charge of the campaign for his district. He appoints a Savings Director for the District, and the District Savings Director, in turn appoints a State Savings Director for each state in the district, who looks out for the organizing of County and Community Savings Committees. At headquarters in Washington the Savings Division is composed of a group Take no chances; get the best. This hair grower has no equal.

TRIED TO STOP COLORED MOVIE. Prencher Claims Production is Actual Reproduction of His Affairs. Chienwo, 11h., February 24.—Excitation ran high here Thursday, February 20 when the Board of Moving Picture Censors, acting upon an injunction gotten out by three ministers of this city, ordered Oscar Michaux's mammoth photoplay, "The Homsteader" stopped because one of the ministers stated that the play was an actual retroduction of his personal affairs with the writer and that the drama acted entirely by colored people, consisting of eight reels, tended to expose his private life. The picture when stopped by agent representing the Board of Censors, was playing to a crowded house at the Fighth Regiment Armory, 35th and Forest Avenue. A wave of in disgination swept the entire audience, which bad witnessed two reels of the film when it was announced that the Censor Board would have to review the play the following day at the Censor Board room, County Building A committee of prominent Chico goons including Bishop Fallows, white, Col. John R. Marshall, formerly commanding Eighth Regiment; George W. Fills, Corporation Counsel City of Chicago; Mrs. Ida Nelson, dental surgeon; Oscar DePriest, ex-derman; Major General Moris Lewis, Uniform Ranks, Odd Fellows; Mrs. George Cleveland Hall; Mrs. Adah M. Waters, Amanda Smith Home for Girls: Robert S. Abbott, Editor Chicago Defender and Attorney George H. Jackson, witnessed the reshoving of the film and following a request of the Censor Board, all agreed that there was nothing in the picture that would reflect upon the character of the minister or that of his family. Acting upon this information, the Board issued a permit, granting "The Homesteader" the right to be exhibited. Oscar Micheaux, colored writer and producer of "The Homesteader" and author of "Th Forged Note" is said to have based his plot of the play around his own private life. His unhappy marriage to a minister's daughter and the hypocritical role the minister played in causing strife in the family, are potent factors in the drama, which was produced at a cost of $12,000.

Events of the times are constantly demonstrating the many and varied ways in which music may be utilized. One of the most recent and astonishing title of news along these lines was brought to light by the statement of a builer in government employ who, upon arriving at Seattle, said that he had used phonograph music to attract seals to the surface of the water where the ycould be shot.

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. --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Agent For Planet.
