THE RICHMOND PLANET. NICE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE 072ND INFANTRY INWIDE GREAT RECORD IN FRANCE Regiment Was Composed of Scattered Odored National Guard Units and Special Men—Prised Highly By French Commanders—Corporal Is Murdered by White Lieutenant in France—German Propaganda. Camp Sherman, O., March 5, 1919 Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Dear Mr. This week has brought to the camp many soldiers, of the 372nd Infantry Regiment for on-charge. The regiment, which was identified with the "Red Hand Division" of French, was given a rousing welcome in Cleveland, Olipo, and was reviewed Sunday February 23 by Governor Campbell and the Adjutant General of the State of Ohio. The regiment was made up at Newport News, Va., January 1, 1919. It consisted of the First Separate Battalion from the D, C, N, G, the Ninth Battalion Ohio N, G, one company from the Tennessee N, G, on company from the old Massachusetts SERGEANT ROBERT L. GREER Interpreter with the 372nd Regiment, in door of his dugout on Hill No. 309, on the Verdun front. August 10, 1918. N. G., one company from the Nationa Guard of Connecticut. All are enlisted men except a detachment of 250 men from Camp Custer, Mich. The regiment embarked at Newport News, Va. March 30, 1918 and arrived at St. Nazaire, France April 14, 1918. Among the many records kept by the men of what transpired from the time of their embarkation until they arrived at Hoboken, N. J. is the diary kept by the interpreter, Sergeant Robert L. Greer, of Cleveland, Ohio. Colonel Toupes from Ohio assumed command July 18, 1918 and according to the report of the men, have suffered many humiliations at the hand of the r. Ohio commander. Early in the month of August while on the Verdun front, this Colonel brought many of the colored officers before an efficiency board and immediately began a process of elimination. This move separated the men from their best friends who had developed them into the wonderful fighting machine, which had brought the 97 (Croux De Guerres) French Logions of Honor, United States' Distinguished Service Crosses and the decoration, with Croix Do Guerre of their regimental colors. The white officers received as replacements were men who had not been on European soldier more than one month and could not begin to measure up to our own, who had been sent back home or to some noncombatant unit in the rear. The Colonel was also criticised because of his attitude in the case of the murder of Corporal William Jones of Company L. 372nd Recipient by First Lieutenant Crogan now stationed at Camp Merritt, N. J. The Allies occurred at Ban the Lionshane, France and the only information obtained is from Sergeant Robert E. Skeleton, who wrote the findings. "Consequent Skeleton said the only account given was 'Death was due to his own misconstrued' and the question is a ked. Who knows that this man was not a victim of some of the soldier carried to France from 'the land of the free and home of the brave'? This disastrous incident seems to have been the result of an order issued by the Colonel to shoot any man on the spot showing sources of violence or insubordination. It is stated that some of these white officers during attacks were killed from disguits and shell holes by junior members of their organization. This statement is quite different to that told of our boys who when found dead or wounded, were facing the fire. Sergeant Robert L. Groer, interpreter for the regiment has in his possession, many French documents with the seal and copies of German. A recent Groer and some comrades received their first mail at Verdun, August 1, 1918. This picture was taken by a French artillery sergeant, who owned a camera. Groer, scattered over their rear at night by German aircraft, I am sending you an exact copy of the same. An sending some photographs of Steven L. Diameters from Verdigre Serpent Greer is seen standing in the floor of a dursuit on Hill No. 399, so meters from the well known Dead Man's Hill. This hill figured completely in 1916, when the German Crown Prince failed in his assault against the French at Verdun, Dead Man's Hill during the Crown Prince's 48 hour attack was reduced from a height of eighty to fifty feet by the use of the French 75'a and the German "Little Bertha's." We have numerous proof of the making of history by the black soldiers upon the battlefields of France. I am asking in behalf of our race and the mothers of sons now sleeping "Somewhere in France." Will we continually be denied our rights and share of this true democracy? October S, 1918. From: Colonel Quillin; Commanding 157ta D. L. To: Colonel Tupes, Commanding 372nd Infantry. The Colonel Commanding the D. L. has recommended your regiment for a citation in the orders of the French Army, words as follows: SERGT, SOLOMON P. WHITE Band Leader, 372nd Regiment. The only band that saw service at the front. Its members were used as "hitter bearers." agreement of the finest qualities of bravery and daring which are the virtues of assaulting troops. "Under the orders of Colonel Toures dushes with superb gallantry and admirable scorn of danger to the assault of a position continuously defended by the enemy, taking it hostage under an exceptionally violent machine gun fire. Continued the progression in spite of the artillery fire and very severe losses they made numerous prisoners, captured cannon-machine guns, and important war material.

My dear Brethren: The Baptists of Virginia and neighboring States are hereby cordially invited to meet with the Virginia Baptist State Convention in its Fifty-third Annual Session to be held with the First Baptist Church, Harrison Street, Petersburg, Virginia, Dr. S. Eldridge Pastor, Wednesday morning, May 14, 1919, at 9:30. In this hour of reconstruction, organizations are being increased in scope, efficiency and consistency. Old landmarks lost under the debris and destruction of battle are not being unearthed, but the nations of earth are seeking to establish new and more popular and safe landmarks for coming generations. Traditions and customs held so dear are being torn from the hands of old established ruers and governments by that now and bitherto unknown crowd, who have suffered long and impatiently at the hands of oppressors, and they are saying to every ruler and leader, Govern aright or give up the scopre. Is this not our day to rise and do as never before? Did not the trying conditions of this great war show us that our only hope rested in the principles espoused by the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg—the principles of self-help, self-assertion, self-reliance.

Sunday morning services at the Wilcoe Baptist Church was largely attended. The Sabbath school is progressing. Mr. J. E. Whittle superintendent the services of the B. Y. P. U., in the afternoon Sunday. A delightful and interesting programme was delivered but it was curious to see that although B. Y. P. U. means Baptist Young People's Union only a few young people were present, and those who participated in the rendering of the programme were elder people. Where are our young people, and why are they not doing their work? We must find them. Mrs. Sadie E. Jones and sister Mrs. Alice Caldwell were called to their home Farmville Va., to attend their mothers funeral last Tuesday. Mr. W. T. Whittico, editor of the Me Dowell Times was in town on business Monday. The people are relieved of much uneasiness since the new bridge spanning Tug river is completed as the children are out of danger of falling into the river going to and from school. Mrs. Jessie Brown and Mrs. Womack are during good work in teaching the Graded School here as shown in the orderly conduct of the scholars in coming from school. Mr. Walter S. Prunty agent for "The Planet" is much respected by the white Y. M. C. A., for his services as Chef cook there. The Wilcoe people are waking up. They are planning a Literary Society and trying to raise a choir for the Wilcoe Baptist Church. May God bless them in their good work. May none aspire to do this as sof elevation but for the benefit of all. Mrs. Mary Benson is quite ill with dropsy. Rev. Wheeler of the M. E. church was run over by one of the U. S. Coker Coal Co's. trucks a few weeks ago, however the injury is not as serious as at first thought to be. He can get around a little on crutches. The "Flu" is giving us a little rest at las', let us all be careful lest it return. "Dude" Dickerson is trying to grow a mustache we wish him success in his endeavors. Officers Jim Crowed on Transport Chicago, III, March.—Preparations are being made for the entertainment of the 36th Infantry of the A. E. F., who have arrived in the United States and who will come through here on their way to Camp Grant for demobilization. The regiment is made up largely of Chicago draftees and was in much real fightin' in France. However, they have reached our glorious shores with a good measure of soreness and disgust. In the first place it is claimed that their regimental flag which was presented to the boys before they left Chicago, in a great public demonstration at the Coliseum by Editor Robert S. Abbot of the Chicago Defender had been ordered placed in the "junk heap." This to many seems almost unbelieveable but the fact is declared on affidavit by the Y. M. C. A. Secretary and Chaplain of the regiment. Added to this situation is the fact that for the first time in cross-ocean transportation the Commissioned Officers of the 365th regiment were "jim crowed" by the commanding officer of the vessels soldiers, Brig. Gen. Gearhard. The men were made to eat in separate dining rooms, and were in every way made to feel the very opposite of the democracy for which they had but recently been fighting. Protests have been sent to the Senators and Representatives at Washington and it is expected that some action will be taken. "Make America Safe for Democracy." Chicago, IL. March—Two years from the Fourth of March, the next President of the United States will be inaugurated, who will he be? That's the question everyone is beginning to ask. Senator Cummings, of Iowa, Senator Haring, of Ohio; Senator Watson of Indiana; Governor Lowden of Illinois; and former Governor Whitman, of New York are among the Republicans who have been mentioned. One of the great slogans of the coming campaign is to be "Make America Safe For Democracy" and the 12,000,000 Negroes of the country are keenly on the alert to see that real business and not sidestepping will be the order of the day, if the activities of organizations and returned soldiers may be taken as a criterion. Refused to Save John Snowden. Baltimore, Md., March—The city and the whole state are aroused over the refusal of Governor Harrington to commute the sentence of John Snowden to life imprisonment. Snowden was convicted of the murder of Lottie Brandon, white a year ago. The case was appealed and the decision of the lower Court sustained. Final appeal was made to the United States Supreme Court this week, on the ground that Snowden was not tried by a "jury of his peers" that is that there were $n_0$ colored men on the Grand Jury or the trial jury. It is also alleged in the appeal to the highest court of the land, that excitement and race prejudice were so rampant at the trial that the prop form of indictment and passing of sentence were not gone thru by the Court. Should this case be passed favorably by the Supreme Court, colored people will no longer be barred from service on coroners and petit juries in the state. Late Monday the Governor was visited by representatives from the jury, which passed sentence on Snow den and presented a petition signed by eleven of them praying commutation of the sentence to life imprisonment. Petition was also presented by 60 white business men of Annapolis where the crime was committed. Four hundred persons mostly white, filled every available space in the Governor's private office and urged that Snowden's life be spared. No such demonstration in behalf of a colored man convicted of crime has been witnessed before in the history of the state. The Governor remained obdurate in his refusal 1 to commute the sentence, and it is said that he is influenced in his decision by his southern wife. White and colored people so far have raised more than $3,000 in fighting his case thru to the Su preme Court. The conviction is guaranteed to the woman's husband committed the crime. Good Effect Seen in Our Boys' Return New York, March. The one big subject, of discussion here, by Newpros and whites alike, is the wond erful effect of the returning of our soldiers is having upon the minds and thoughts of the American people. Every great daily in the east and west has taken up the cause of cheer ing good will, and this beginning has been taken up by the organizations and people generally. The big effort is to see that something of a lasting nature comes out of all the era of good will that is now being manifested. A measure has been introduced in the legislature of New York to defi nently make all of the Fifteenth Regiment of New York national guard Negroes, and to make all those who fought in France eligible for comm' sions. To this is added an appropriation for a permanent armory and club house. Colored Voters and Congressmen Chicago, March.—The caucus decision to make Congressmen Gillett, of Massachusetts the next Speaker of the House, instead of Congressman Mann of Illinois, is being discussed generally by the Negro citizens of Chicago. While Congressman Mann has some admirers among members of the Race, it is pointed out that he has never been responsible for a Negro appointment during his entire career, and in subjects affecting the welfare of the Negro he has only been lukewarm in his support. That Congressman Madden who is actually kept in Congress by Negro voters is getting more than his share of praise is attested by several prominent Negroes in Chicago. No Jim Crow in Kansas. Topeka, Kans., March.—Preceded with an address by W. C. Heueston, a Colored lawyer, the Colored People of Topeka held a mass meeting and extended thanks to Governor Allen, the Republican party and the newspapers for the interest manifested in behalf of the record attempt to establish "Jim crow" legislation in Kansas. El Paso Times Against Lynching. Houston, Tex., March.—The better element of the people in Texas are beginning to take note of the infant attached to this state by the lynching records of recent years. The El Paso Times in a lengthy editorial deplores the condition of things, and says the "legislature submit to the people a proposition so to amend the constitution that lyncher shall be debarred from holding any public office of honor, trust or profit." This state with others is very much alarmed at the new migration that is starting this spring from the south. Color Line in the League of Nations Washington, D. C. March—Harper Leech, a special correspondent of The Memphis (Tenn) Press in an extensive article in the paper declares that the matter of the "Color Line" may imperial the League of Nations. He declares that Australia, Pacific Coast, South Africa and the Southern United States are vitally affected by the proposed eradication of racial distinctions. That this subject is one of vital significance is not doubted by any student of world conditions. Japan to the fore in the big five may be said to be 'he spokesman of the "Colored Peoples of the world." Opposes Importation of Chinese Labor New York, March.—A migaty howl came from Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor when Hudson Maxim the great inventor, declared at a dinner of the Council on Foreign Relations at Hotel Astor that; "There should be brought, to this country a million Chinese to do household work and farm labor." Morrison declared: "Trade unions in this country will fight, the proposition to the last utter; serious enogha problems have resulted from the im portation of Negroes in this country." Notwithstanding this gratitious assertion, Mr. Maxam held his ground and declared this should be consider merely a white man's country but under the new democracy, a country for all. The statement of Morrison indicates, it is said the hypocritical sincerity of the labor unions to be on the square with all mankind, and each group is put more to the alert in seeking out its salvation. Fear Returned Negro Soldiers. Birmingham, Ala., March—Every section of the south is becoming deeply concerned about the attitude of the returned Negro soldiers from France. The Birmingham News, white in an editorial column, under the caption: "Returned Negro soldiers; some Words of Sober Counsel," proceeds to declare: "It is to be feared that a new cause of friction is Hateful to arise in the south between the two races. There is an opinion prevalent among many white people to a greater or less degree that these Colored soldiers have come back with their heads turned, that they believe themselves to be worthy of the greatest consideration in all respects and that they are inclined to insist upon such a consideration and upon recognition in ways they did not urge before their service in the army." It is argued by Negro leaders in this section that if the white people have that impression that at last they have the correct idea of something connected with the Negro. However, The News proceeds to point out that this is an erroneous impression, and that it is probably true that these black boys who went to France are willing to $ \mathrm{o}_{10} $ plong along in the old ways. However, it is all too true that Negroes of the Southland are not prepared to accept the former positions in life those of cowardice, cringing and servitude. There is a growing de termination to have a clean cut show down of fags and figures, in an effort to get "equal and exact justice." There is a newer and bolder element of whites who are joining with the intelligent Negroes of the South in the plan to make right the law of the land. Churches Demand Justice for Negroes Atlanta, Ga., March.-That the white South is awakening to the needs and demands of the hour is attested by the Momentous Conference of white churches which has been in session in this city. Dr. C. B. Wilmer, in an address demanding justice for the Negro declared that it should be given without "camouflaging behind a lot of glittering generalities. Among the things that these white people will throw their influence behind to encourage are: Justice in courts, better living conditions, educational opportunities extended and courteous, clean traveling accommodations. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Trenton, N.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....60 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....MARCH 15, 1919 SENATOR CHAMBERLAYNE'S PROTEST. The outrageous treatment of colored troops by the military authorities as exemplified in the Brownsville and Houson riots is being rechored in the treatment of white troops under similar conditions. It emphasizes the fact that you cannot wrong colored people without ultimately wronging white people as well. It means that the divine declaration that the same measure ye mete, the same shall be measured to you again is as true to day as it was when first written. These thoughts come to us as the result of the following interesting information: New York, March 10.—Describing certain courts-martial sentences in the American army as "things that make Bohemians of our young men," United States Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate Committee on military Affairs, sharply criticized courts-martial procedure in an address before the United Waist League of medicine today. "The sentences are imposed absolutely without any system in the administration of the criminal laws of the land," he said "and they are really imposed at the order of the commanding officer, because if the court makes a ruling which is unpopular to the commanding officer he will order the court reconvened and in some cases issue instructions to it. Referring to long sentences which had been imposed for slight infractions of the rules, Senator Chamberlain "These boys know an injustice has been done these and it will not in crease their respect for the government. "I have found boys of seventeen and eighteen not yet mature," he continued, "sent away for long terms in prison, some of them because they were absent without leave—homeick youths who left to say goodbye to their mothers, or perhaps a last word with their sweetheartc. Five days away led one of them to be sentenced for forty years." United States Senator Chamberlain is speaking of white boys, not colored ones. When colored soldiers were treated with no show of right and were summarily executed, the horror of the situation did not seem to appeal to him, but when the flower of the white American army met a similar fate at the hands of his own people, he voices a protest that is now being heard around the world. Let us pray for Senator Chamberlain and those who have so grievously treated the American soldiers of both races in an exhibition of power and authority which should never have been accorded to them. The Scriptures say by praying for them, we shall be heaping coals of fire upon their heads. Then let us pray for them not only until those coals of fire become red hot, but until they reach a white heat. MR. DERS' OONVICTION. The Supreme Court of the United States has confirmed the sentence of Hon. Eugone V. Debs to ten years in the penitentiary. He is a political prisoner and the action of President Woodrow Wilson in pardoning him would remove him from the arena of martyrs where his devoted followers have placed him. We do not share in in the opinions of this type of Ameri can citizens, but unless care is exercised we may yet find ourselves in the midst of a French Revolution in the country and the colored people of the nation will be found the most loyal element in the support of the State and National Governments. Congressman Victor Berger will find no ray at Washington for him in the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. The twenty year sentence of Judge Landis will assuredly be affirmed. We hope that some way will be found to notify these extreme measures and to check the upheaval that is now under way in this country. President Wilson will yet find that conditions exist in Europe is in full swing in this country and that his services are vitally needed at home. There are dangerous storm signals upon the horizon. God save the Government at Washington. THE PAN AFRICAN CONGRESS. The report of the meeting of the Pan-African Congress hod in France does not seem to have been cabled to this side of Alau'e, although Dr. W. E. G. Du Bois, the leading character in the affair is still in Paris. It may be that he is sending his report by mail, in which case, we may expect to read much interesting information affecting the darker nations in Africa and the adjacent countries. We are publishing the correspondence had with the Department of State and it seems that although the meeting was held, it was without the approval of the French Government. It was a private affair, says the representative of the Government at Washington. Just what this means, we are not prepared to state, for at no time was it expected to be official recognized by the French Government. It is evident that Premier Clemenceau would not revoke the permit once given and contented himself with explaining that he and the French Government and no further interest in the meeting. If Dr. Du Bols and his associates contented themselves with discussing only the condition of the darker races in Africa and made a plea for the partial self determination of these same classes of people, it would seem to us that the meeting was harmless, so far as the plans of the distinguished President of the United States are concerned. Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernigan should have been furnished with an abundance of money in order to cable to us the situation over there. Whether or not the use of the cables have been denied to him remains to be explained. As the matter now stands, the colored people of the United States are wondering just what will happen. Our rights in the North are being steadily curtailed and endangered while our privileges in the South are being extended. The troops coming back from overseas are beginning to talk and the information given will form a thrilling story to be told to this and future generations. Now York Post Lauds Harlem Folks. New York.—In a recent issue of the New York Post, white, a full page is devoted to a description with illustrations, of the Nogroes of Harlem, where and how they live and what they are doing. One of the important features brought out is the fact that scores of firms that do a national business have opened up branches in the Harlem district managed by Negroes, and are appealing particularly to the Race for trade. This fact is further emphasized by the increased advertising space many of those national firms are taking in Negro newspapers. Dr. A. M. Curtis Visits Chicago. Chicago, Ill., March—Dr. A. M.

Dr. Moton Speaks in Booston, Boston, Mass., March. — A great audience gathered last night in Symphony Hall to pay tribute to the patriotism and valor shown by Negro Soldiers in the war, cheered repeatedly. Dr Robert R. Moton, recently returned from a special mission to France, asked justice for the Negroes. "They fought one fight to get into the war," said the principal of Tuskegee Institute. "They fought another in the war itself. They won the first fight and they won the second and now I believe they are going to win the third. We are asking no special privileges and no special opportunities. All we are asking for the Ngores in this country is an absolute byequal chance with every one he met when he lived in the name of God after what he did. What else colored men have done over there fighting for democracy and after what they have suffered to make the world safe for democracy, I don't see how any group of nations or any group of men can ever withhold from them right and justice and my equal chance with other human beings." Fifty members of company L of the old 6th Massachusetts regiment were on huntsuitably applauded as they marched through the crowded gathering to their places on the plank form. Seated there were about 100 members of the choral classes from the Robert Gould Shaw House who gave selections at intervals through out the evening under leadership Troy P. Gorum. The Rev. Dr. Alexander Mann rector of Trinity Church, pre-sided. Emmett J. Scott special assistant to the secretary of war, told of the Negroes' part in winning the war. "It is highly significant," he said, that although eight per cent of the total registration, 15 percent of the total number of men who were called to color, the first draft were members of the Negroes' racial group. These facts and figures must also show the Negroes' eurgeism, to serve as a soldier, but dissipate the ancient yarn about the black race being a deteriorating or decadent people for the draft law called for men who were physically fit. "During the recent war, the American Negro was represented in practically every branch of the army. Whether brigaded with French troops or fighting as an American division (the 92nd and 93rd for instance) our men met the tests of bravery, fortitude, loyalty, intelligence—and endured hardships and privations with good nature and even good humor." Dr. Moton began his address by declaring that in the shadow of the monuments to Crispus Attucks and Robert Gould Shaw there was no need of proving the valor and courage of the Negro soldier. "This situation," he proceeded, "has never seen a finer demonstration of loyalty and patriotism than was manifested by the Negroes who during the great gave freely of their money, of their energy and effects to the end that their might be wag to a more successful conclusion. I doubt if there is a parallel in history of similar efforts put forth by people in a similar situation in the past that they might have the privileges of placing their lives at the service of their country." The meeting was brought to a conclusion with the singing of "The Battle Hymn." The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Robbera Just Missed $20,000.00. Chicago, March.—The timely withdrawal of $20,000 by lock Island rail road officials from the Merchant's bank, 4694 South State St., prevented three Negro pay roll robbers from meking a big haul on the bank shortly before noon. The three Negroes entered the bank, revolvers in hand and forced Miss Grace Phillips, the cashier and William Nichols a salesman living at the Windsor-Cutton hotel, into the private office of President J. P. Carsoy of the bank, and escaped with between $4,000 and $5,000. A deposit of $25,000 had been made at the bank to meet the Rock Island pay roll today but $20,000 had been withdrawn an hour before the robbery. Miss Phillips was in the cashier's cage when the three robbora drove up to the bank in big green automobile without a license number. While one of the robbers forced Nichols into the private office the other two pointed their revolvers at Miss Phillips and ordered her to open the safe. She replied that there was no money left in the vault and that she did not know the combination. As the robbers turned away Miss Phillips attempted to reach under the counter and revive her, but her action was seen by the third woman who snatched the gun from her hand before she could use it. She then was locked in the office with Nichols. The robbers put all the money in sight in to a sack run to the automobile and disappeared north on State street to 46th street and thence to Federal street where trace of them was lost. The Merchants bank is a private in situation owned by a real estate dealer. It was robbed about two years ago of about $1500. The police have identified the automobile as the machine used by three Negroes who late last night entered the office of the Standard Oil Company 3302 Prairie Avenue and robbed Henry Frecke the agent, of $100. The same car was seen by Detectives Hogan and Kennedy at 3600 South La Salle street at 9:30 A. M. today before the bank robbery. In telling of the holdup, Nicholas praised Miss Phillips for her copness and attempt to frustrate the robbers in the face of danger. The automobile used by the three Negro bandits who robbed the Merchants bank today was recovered by the police shortly after noon at 88th street and Cottage Grove avenue, where it had been abandoned. The on automobile was stolen last night at 6 o'clock from Robert. Read 2807 Prairie avenue and the House, regarded the car had a bullet hole thru which it was embedded as the result of a revolver battle between the Negroes and policemen, following a holdup at 3302 Prairie avenue last night. PRESIDENT KING CALLS STATE BAPTISTS TO ANNUAL CONVENTION. (Continued from First Page.) racial ideals and racial development? In this great war, while all men physically fit were called to the colors the illiterate man had to go with a pick, and only men of schooling were counted fit for the soldiery, and only college men fit for officers. Virginia contributed through the draft, fifty-eight thousand men. Census of 1800 gives the white population of Virginia as 1,200,510. This white population contributed through the draft thirty thousand men, or about two per cent. The same census gives the colored population of Virginia as 671,096. Out of this number, the colored people contributed twenty-eight thousand drafted men, or about four per cent. Virginia supports 552 high schools 547 for the education of whites and 5 for the education of colored. This shows how large our contribution to our State and country and how poor and inadequate its provision is for us. There are several colleges in the State run for whites, on State money and not a college anywhere supported by the State of Virginia in which a colored man may enroll as a student and to inspire to a professorship is ridiculous. Out of five high schools run for colored, only one purports to give a full high school course, and only one is presided over by a colored principal, the others by white men, whose possession rob the colored student of the spirit of inspiration. His culture is not assimilated by the student, because of the volume of cold air between them, for he does not enter into the moral and social life of those he instructs and cannot therefore be an elevating force among them. With these cold facts and hard problems confronting us, is it not up to us to give our boys and girls a chance by building and operating at least one institution in Virginia with high school and college grades, every door of which stands open to that poor, oppressed and segregated colored American, standing with tears in his eyes begging for a chance, and every office and professorship may be occupied by black men of worth and efficiency, who can pronounce the shibboleth of such worthy principles? While the oppressed races of earth are being emancipated by those weary of oppression, may we not strike a blow in our own behalf, not to the injury of anyone else, but for our own selflessness? Is it not possible that when Americans are keeping us out of colleges which we cannot control, and another more sympathetic class holds open the northern and western universities to us and build and support a chain of schools for us in that territory where colleges are closed to us, our benefactors may grow weary waiting for us to learn to walk and shoulder our own responsibilities. The colored American has demonstrated in this great world war that he is a character of great resourcefulness, all things in common, he is hard to excel. In this supreme hour of reconstruction, may we not enlist this great strength in building institutions of learning for the uplift of mankind and play our part in great world movements? We should not give our school at Lynchburg a cost less than $25,600.00 a year directly from the churches, through the convention. This is a church school and depends upon the churches for its bread and butter. This fact should be carefully borne in mind by every church in sympathy with a movement by colored Baptists for colored Baptists. Colored folks of the South where the masses live are dependent solely upon the churches for higher training. Shall we do our best to give it to them, or shall we sleep on in blindness and ignorance? Despite the migratory movements the great body of colored people shall remain in the southland indefinitely and the churches and leaders everywhere, are doing most for the race when they help to build racial institutions in that territory where the great body of people reside, where the largest percent of密度 is, where the school system for colored is so inadequate, and where the colleges are shut in our faces. Men! Ye vallant men of God called to a great work, let us tell Heaven a great work, let us tell Heaven about our deplore's state, the thousands of injustice we wear as chains about our necks, the myriads of restrictions the latter, and the laws of adverse settlement molded to the needs of our people, as a helping hand. Implore the throne above for strength and cooperation and go after our task like, men. Let us lift the blinding caps of prejudice from our eyes and see each other as fellow-sufferers and victims of an unjust aggression and discrimination. Let us forget any and every unpleasant thought of past misunderstandings growing out of difference of view-points, let us realize that if we would get upon the mountain top of the great and the noble, where the sky is clear and the horizon extended. We must climb in our strength and in the strength of a supremely lust God, by the great of our own brows and lift our long neglected, yea oppressed people as we climb. Look to the heights men, Climb in our might, God will help us, Be our purpose right. If we adopt God's programme We are sure to get His help. Nor will we be ask our color, Brew He makes His presence felt To the heights men, to the heights, With burning torches in our hands, And with steel claws in our shoe soles Let us climb at God's command. A mighty race is following in our trail. By the light from our burning torches. They are now passing thru the vale..... To the mountain tops, are they balk. Meet us in Petersburg, May 14, T J.

Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps point the way, SATURDAY.....MARCH 15, 191 SOLDIERS RESENT PRINCIPAL MOTON'S ADVICE. Now York, March 9.—As the Colored soldiers return from France, landing at the port here, it is noted that, without exception, they resent Principal Moton's advice to them to return "modestly and unassumingly." They regard that advice as a gratuitous insult. Had these Colored soldiers of our conducted themselves riotously over in France it would not have been consurable for Principal Moton of Tuskegee to have accepted that "special mission" to France to counsel that our soldiers who fought so bravely and endured so much, to complacently accept on their return, Jim Crow cars, denial of rights and privileges as a roward for their dyeing the battlefields of France with their blood that foreign countries might have democracy. It may be that Principal Moton was ubiquoted in Paris and American newspapers but the fact that more than three years have elapsed since the newspapers reported the veiled criticism of his wife for presuming to take passage on a sleeping car in the South, without denying the news paper statement, the concensus of opinion among Colored people is that he did make the statement accredited to him. When returning from battlefields, upon which they fought so bravely and valiantly, our boys conducted themselves "modestly and unassumingly," as every true soldier does. When returning with prisoners, after a daylight raid into German trenches, they returned "modestly and unassumingly." They were never boastful, never offensive, but, as they have a right to be, they are proud of their record in France—they are brave and courageous. Stripped of all verbage, to the returning Colored soldiers, Principal Moton's advice appears as advice that they should return servile, that they should forget their crosses of honor and their losses of brave comrades who fell on crimsoned battlefields and accept Southern autocracy in the United States in place of the democracy they enjoyed in France. Getting down to the core of the thing I find that not only the Colored soldiers and their relatives regard Principal Moton's fortunate advice as a gratuitous insult, but they are suspicious that Principal Moton is attempting to Wilsonize the race—commit it to an administration whose policy for six years has been to segregate the race—turn back the hands on our dial of progress. A lamented Colored Bishop, moth-like, once flew about the Wilson candle and regretfully, was singed. Principal Moton ought to profit by the experience of others. One thing sure, he, if he would, cannot committ our brave returning Colored soldiers nor their ten millions of kinsmen, to the democracy of the present national administration—a democracy that denies to our brave, valued-barred, battle-scarred returning Colored heroes rights and privileges specifically bestowed by the Constitution. The returning Colored soldiers, those 200,000 overseas fighters, present I find, Principal Moton's implied advice, to accept without complaint, and as a matter of course, Jim Crow cars, segregation and damnable discrimination. Republican United States Senators served notice upon President Wilson that they would not adopt his draft of a Constitution for a League of Nations. Colored heroes from France, and their kingsmen, just as effectively, are serving notice on President Wilson's Colored "special" emissary, Principal Moton, that they want the rights and privileges their services and blood purchased on the battlefields of France, and not a Southernized democracy. Personally, Principal Moton is a delightful gentleman. He has merely made an unfortunate error which Colored soldiers can forgive but forget. THIS Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

March—The primary election in Chicago, resulting in the nomination of Mayor William Hale Thompson, on the Republican ticket, and Robert M. Swetzer on the Democrat ticket, promises Chicagoans, and the nation, the most interesting poli cal contest ever held in an American municipality. It is a well known fact that the Republicans of Chicago are placed in a rather embarrassing position, particulaly that group who have fought the present mayor and his administration Although the campaign It was publicly stated that the National Republican committee through chairman Will Hays of Indiana desired to have Judge Olson nominated as the harmony cand da e, particularly be cause it was stated, that Mayor Thompson son had been taken warm in his domestication of patriotism during the war. All the great daily newspapers opposed Thompson, and particularly, The Tribune and the Daily News, which are Chicago's chief dailies. Notwithstanding Thompson won out by more than 59 000 votes. Even now there is no general disposition to "bury the hatchet" and support him and there is expected to be "big doings" politically, within the next week. In it all the Negro voters of Chicago are "regardless of how distasteful it may seem to some," quoting the Tribune,—the "ace in the hole," speaking in one figure; and the "stet car attraction admits that the national by famous Second Ward, in Chicago controls absolutely city elections. There is more politics to the square inch played in that ward, than in any other section of the city. Every can didae gives most respectful consideration to the voters therein, and the next mayor, will have to thank the voters of that ward for his election. But there is going to be something doing in Negro politics in Chicago, henceforward. The nomination of Aldermen Louis B. Anderson, present official for a second term, defacing former Alderman Oscar De Priest, who was ousted from council on bribery charges, afterward cleared in one trial, but still under pending indictments has only served to stir up interest among the younger generation of voters, returned soldiers and women. The returned soldiers, who seem to have selected as the spokesman Captain 'n Lewis E. Johnson a hero of the French battlefields declare that the time has come for the men who "Bared their breasts to the enemy fire should have some say in political matters, and that those who have been living at the public trough for years and years and enriching themselves, must step down and out." The boys have all been demobilized and they have had several conferences regarding their plans for the future and it is certain that their decisions will have wonderful effect on results.

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.

Zion last Sunday night was the scene of a wonderful and most logical discourse delivered by the widely famed and well versed Biblical student and able instructor of the present age, who spoke to the congregation on the subject, "Nebuchadnezer's Great Dream." Dr. C. N. Grandison portrayed one of the most profound pictures. He caused his audience to review the various stages and epochs of man's existence in Eden down to the present, showing how unfaithful man has been in obeying his Creator and Maker who laid the best and only set of rules for true happiness. Dr. Grandison will fill the pulpit at M. Zion A. M. E. Church next Sunday morning. Every one should avail themselves of the one more opportunity of hearing this master mind, for indeed it is a rare treat to listen to him out of God's Word. He explains the past, present and future events as the Book of Books records and reveals to that wonderful Bible teacher. Hundreds of people are idle in this city on account of the great lay-off of men at the N. and W. Yards and the shops. The A. C. L. railroad is hiring all of them that will work for it.

The books of the New Testament may be divided into three classes, historical, doctrinal and prophetical. Of the first description are the four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. Of the second, the Apostolic Epistles and of the third, the Book of Revelation. All these books however, are of a mixed nature and contain history, prophecy and doctrine. Matthew, whose Hebrew name was Levi, the writer of this Gospel was one of the twelve Apostles of our Lord. He was a Galilean by birth, a Jew by religion and a Publican, or collector of taxes by profession. His ordinary abode was at Capernaum and his office probably on the main road near the Sea of Tiberius. here while engaged in his business he was called by Jesus to follow Him and he obeyed. Of his life after the ascension we know nothing. His Gospel is recognizable as the oldest of the four, but the time of its preparation is uncertain. The most probable supposition is that it was written between A. D 50 and 60. The exact year cannot be told. There is not much doubt, however, that it was written in Palestine. This Gospel was written by the Apostle, according to the testimony of all antiquity. But there has been much discussion as to the language in which it was originally composed. It must, however, be observed that every writer who maintains that St. Matthew wrote a Gospel at all, says that he wrote in Hebrew. Moreover SATURDAY Awarded Damages for Injuries. A jury in the Law and Equity Court has awarded damages of $100 to little Miss Alaise Charity, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Charity, 914 St. John Street. The verdict was against I. L. Bornstein, a storekeeper at St. John and Baker Streets. On July 8, 1918 the little girl was severely injured by the falling of a window from Bornstein's store and the suit grew out of the accident. Mr. Charity was represented by Attorney L. F. Cary. Mr. and Mrs. C, E. Locklayer, of Roanoke, Va. and their son, John Locklayer, who has been mustered out at Camp Lee, Va., are here visiting Mrs. Lillie Fields, of 903 North Fifth Street. Miss Bessie L.

The principal divisions of the Gospel are, first, the introduction to the ministry of Christ, and secondly, by the laying down of the new law for the Church in the Sermon on the Mount; third, events in historical order, showing Him as the worker of miracles and fourth, the appointment of Apostles to preach the Kingdom. Fifth, the doubts and opposition excited by his activity in divers minds in John's disciples in sundry cities, in the Pharisees; sixth, a series of parables on the nature of the Kingdom; seventh, the effects of His ministry on His countryman, on Period, on the people of Jesseus, Scribes and Pharisees and on attitudes whom He feeds; eighth, revelation to His disciples of His sufferings and His instructions to them thereupon; ninth, events of a journey to Jerusalem, and tenth, entrance into Jerusalem and resistance to Him there and denunciation of the Pharisees; eleventh, his last discourses, Jesus as Lord of Jerusalem and also of the world; twelfth, His passion and resurrection.

Army Corps to receive and welcome the 157th Division after its successes in Champagne. During the few weeks that the Division belonged to the Army Corps its Regiments of French and Americans have by their conduct and biting activity, produced the best impression. It had prepared in its sectors the way penetrating in Alsace and it should have the honor of entering it. But military necessity brings today the higher command to consider its use in another part of the front and too, gives to the Americans the front facing Belgium, Luxemburg and a corner of Lorraine. The General Commanding the 10th Army Corps sees with the gallant Division and her chief General Goybet moves away from. He cannot defend himself from the painful Quartermaster Sergeants of the 157th French Division, behind the lines during the Champagne offensive These Sergeants kept their comrades in supplies during the offensive. thought that General Goybet will not have consolation of treading with his Division that conquered land which keeps the remains of one of his sons To all he wishes good luck and expresses the hope of meeting again one day.

You must be proud of the courage of your officers and men and I consider it an honor to have them under my command. The bravery and dash of your Regiment won the admiration of the Morrocan Division, who are themselves versed in warfare. Thanks to you, during those hard days, the Division was at all times in the advance of all other Divisions of the Army Corps. I am sending you all my thanks and beg you to transmit them to your subordinates. I called on your wounded. Their morale is higher than any praisoe. GENERAL GOYBET.

The General commanding the Ninth Army Corps addresses to them his most sincere thanks and his warmest congratulations for the glorious successes achieved by their admirable ardor and their indomitable tenacity. He galutes the brave American Regiments who have rivalled in intrepidity their French comrades. He cannot here restrace the feats which have been performed for every one of the days of that victorious journey.

A true copy of something dropped from a German aeroplane entitled "How to Stop the War:" Do your part to put an end to the war. Put an end to your part of it. Stop fighting! That's the simplest way. You can do it, you soldiers, just stop fighting and the war will end of its own accord. You are not fighting for anything anyway. What does it matter to you who owns Motz or Strasburg. You never saw those towns or know the people in them, so what do you care about them? But there is a little town in the United States that you would like to see and if you keep on fighting here in the hopes in getting a look at those old German fortresses you may never see home again. The only way to stop the war is to stop fighting. That's easy. Just quit and slip across No Man's Land and join the bunch that's taking it easy there waiting to be exchanged and taken home. There is no disgrace in that. That bunch of the American prisoners will be welcome just as warm as you who stuck it out in those infernal trenches. Get wise and get over the top. There is nothing in the glory of keeping up the war. But think of the increasing taxes you will have to pay. The longer the war lasts the longer those taxes at home will be. Get wise and get over. All the fine words about glory are tommy rot. You haven't got any business fighting for France. You would be better fighting the money trust at home instead of fighting your fellow soldiers over here where it really doesn't matter to sticks to you how the war goes. Your country needs you, your family needs you and you need your life for something better than being gassed, shot at, deafened by cannon shot and rendered unit physically by the miserable life you must live here.
