THE RICHMOND PLANET REV. J. MILTON WALDRON ON THE WASHINGTON SCHOOL SCANDAL To The Editor, The Richmond Planet. I, along with thousands of other Washintonans am ennured in the highly necessary work of ridding our public schools of certain immoral teachers who have brought reproach upon the Capitol of the Nation and greatly impaired the usefulness of our Common Schools, and corrupted society. In my public utterances in condemnation of those wicked persons at a Mace Meeting held in this city on Tuesday night, April 15, I am reported as condemning the official corrupted teaching corps of Washington. This report is not true and I have refuted it in public and I have sent a signed article denying the truthfulness of said report to the Race papers of this city. If you have published or shall publish in your journal an account of Washington school affairs in which I am represented, an condemnation of our public school teachers, as a body I would regard it as an act of justice both to our teaching corps here and to myself if as well if you will kindly state that, I made no kindly statement. What I did say is given in the enclosed article of Mishl I have just sent under register I letter to the editor of The Washington Bee with the request that he publish a piece over my name in the post issue of his paper. If you can publish a tax article to The Bee or any part of it you can at liberty to do so, but in so doing you will pay a worthy price and help to set before your thousands of readers the to the honor of Workington in the proper light.

To The Editor. 1, along with thousands of other Washingtonians am engaged in the highly necessary work of ridding our public schools of certain immoral teachers who have brought reproach upon the Capitol of the Nation and greatly impaired the usefulness of our Common Schools and corrupted society. In my public utterances in condemnation of these wicked persons at a Mass Meeting held in this city on Tuesday night April 15.

This report is not true and I have refuted it in public and I have sent a signed article denying the truthfulness of said report to the Race papers of this city. If you have published or shall publish in your journal an account of Washington school affairs in which I am represented as condemning our public school teachers, as a body I would regard it as an act of justice both to our teaching corps here and to myself if as well if you will kindly state that. I made no such statement. What I did say is given in the enclosed article which I have just sent under registered letter to the editor of The Washington Bee with the request that he publish same over my name in the next issue of his paper. If you care to publish my article to The Bee, or any part of it, you are at liberty to do so, and in so doing you will aid a worthy cause and help to set before your thousands of readers the teaching corps of Washington in the proper light. I am Yours for Justice and Fair-play, —J. MILTON WALDRON. Saturday, April 19, 1919, Washington D. C. Rev. Waldron Writes th. Bec. Editor. The Washington Bee. In your issue of April 19th, 1919 under your report of the Mass Meeting held at The Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on Tuesday night last, you say: "Rev. Dr. Waldron said, among other things, that the school teachers of Washington had a wore name than any other class of people in the United States; that their con duct out of the city during the vaca tion period was the cause." I made no such statement on last Tuesday night nor at any other time. What I did say was this: "Washington has the worse reputation among our people of any other large city in the country, and one reason why this is so, is because of the conduct of certain public school teachers here and in places where they spend their vacation. We ought to get rid of these immoral teachers in order to protect our children and parents and the good teachers and to redeem our city from the odium that rests upon it." I expected that my address would be criticized or misunderstood and for that very reason, I took special pains in preparing it and committed it to writing and delivered it as I had written it. Further on in the report of the meeting The Ree says: "Mr. Chase stated that he wanted to correct the statement made by one of the speakers—Dr. Walden—that the Washing ton teachers have a worse name of any in the country." As I made no such statement and as Mr. Chase did not call my name at the time he claimed to be answering my statement and I had no idea he was referring to me. I made no rejoinder as I would surely have done had I understood that Mr. Chase was directing his remarks to me. In closing permit me to say, I have had at no time any hung derogation to say about our public school teachers as a body. During my twelve years pastorate in Washington I have taken special pains to show myself a true friend to the teaching corps in our public schools; I have espoused their cause in public and private whenever any matter for their welfare arose, and in the mass meeting held in my own church on Monday, April 7th, and in the first mass meeting held in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church I stated that; "The large majority of the public school teachers of Washington are worthy, competent and of the highest character and that the few unworthy and immoral ones among them should be condemned and dismissed for the protection of the decent teachers and the safety of our children," and I could not and did not condemn our public school teachers as a body on last Tuesday night. ---J. MILTON WALDRON. Saturday April 19, 1919 Washington D. C. Rev. F. L. Morris of Emporia was in the city last week. In the home of her paren s, Mr. and Mrs. Mkes Debreiss 110 W.

Smith, Jr.) On Monday afternoon, April 14, 1919, the Lord saw fit in His wise providence to call from our midst one of our aged mothers, who was much loved by all who knew her, for her patience and strong Christian character. She was born in Henry County, Va. in the days of slavery, although she was free born. She entered into matrimony twice, her first husband being Raymond Burnette. To them two children were born. After his death she married Henry Manns, She was a faithful wife to him for 34 years. To them were born ten children. After his death she remained a chaste widow until her death. She died triumphant in the faith. We feel safe in saying our loss is Heaven's gain. She leaves to mourn their loss, eleven children, twenty-five grandchildren, twenty-three great grandchildren and a host of friends. She was ninety-eight years old, a member of the New River Baptist Church for fifty years. Sister Manns was the mother shepherd of the Church for twenty-five years. The funeral services took place Wednesday evening at the White Methodist Church near the old homestead. It was conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. II, Mitchell. She spent the remainder of her days with her daughter, Mrs. Roa Burnette and husband, Mr. Sparrel Burnette, who did everything in their power for her comfort until the last.

THAT WRIT OF ERROR The writ of error granted in the Walker case does not mean that a new trial has been granted or that the verdict of the jury has been set aside, but it does mean that there is probable cause for a new trial and that the Supreme Court will hear argument on the legal points raised and then decide whether the findings of the lower court shall be set aside. It may sustain the lower court or it may reverse it.—Ed. Rev. R. O. Johnson Remembered. Rev, R. O. Johnson, D.

Colored troops won renown upon the battle-fields of France. They obeyed orders without complaining and were Honized by the French people on account of their soldierly qualities and bravery. Just what would have happened had they been sent to Russia and had been guilty of mutiny is not to be surmised. They would have been sentenced to death and every colored enlisted man in the service would have been made to feel the full measure of the disgrace. But the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch and other daily papers in this country have discussed the situation. The Times-Dispatch said: There is decidedly unwholesome ring to the frank announcement through the war department of the fact that a company of American soldiers in Russia refused to obey orders to move against the Russian Reds, and that the officers who commanded the men were able to bring them into action only on a basis of compromise. This is the first time since the war began that any body of American troopa has mutinied. There have been conscientious objectors aplenty in the army. They have stood against active military service but they did it on moral grounds and as individuals. But here is a case of 250 men com posing a military unit that they flatly warned their officers that they would not go into battle against the Russians that they were not disposed to make war upon the Bolshevist forces and did not and so far as known have not even now taken their place in the line. They proceeded to a point behind the line and went no farther. It continued: This contrary action on the part of the soldiers did not result in their imprisonment for disobedience to orders. It has not resulted in their court-martial or even in their arrest. Instead of taking drastic measures against them the officers in command fell back upon saison in an effort to induce them to do their duty. Is it possible that those officers realized that the mutiny might spread if other Americans were ordered to arrest their comrades? Is it possible that the feeling of dissatisfaction on the part of the little American army in Northern Russia is too strong for their officers to act against it? These are interesting questions. They require answers. Who will give them? But the Times-Dispatch proceeded to guess. It said: The answer to these questions can only be guessed. Only the bare facts of the uprising have been made publie and they were kept from the country for nearly two weeks. It would appear from what information now is available that the American troops who have been thrust into their pres ent situation in Russia are tired of the whole business. They are told that their country is not at war with Russia or even at war with the Bol shevist regime in that country and yet they are being ordered to kill Russians and to expose themsolves to fire of the army before them. It is no wonder that there is discontent in that body of soldiery. Their govern ment owes it to them to withdraw the whole force or else to declare war upon the people against whom they are fighting. Surrounding conditions are taken into consideration in this case. This is just the opposite of the position taken when the Houston, Texas riots were heralded over the civilized world to the discredit of the colored soldier. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. There is no doubt whatever as to the utter disregard of law and precodent of having the American forces engaged in fighting a people with whom this country was not at war. $T_0$ order them into Russia was a blunder and to direct them to kill the inhabitants after they got there was a crime. This is the logical result of a policy that is demoralizing, not only this country, but is ruining the civilized world. The seeds of revolution and anarchy are being sown and the indications are that they have taken deep root in this country. The incarceration of Eugene V. Dobs at Moundsville penitentiary, to our way of thinking is the beginning of the end. Colored people, who have not engaged in this kind of propaganda have been brutally treated and scandalously misrepresented. They were needed in this world war. They will be needed again in a world revolution and they will be found standing with the forces of law and order. The situation at the Peace Conference in Paris is puzzling to the average person, who seeks information from the newspapers. The Body has been in session since last January en deavoring to "make peace among them selves," that is to reach a basis of unanimous agreement so that when the German plenipotentiaries are present, they will be able to be in a position to present plans and demands as a whole that will represent the united opinion of the Allies. Up to this time, they have not been able to $d_0$ this and although an agreement as to the date upon which they are to meet the Germans, has been agreed upon, it is evident that the Allies will be split among themselves when these diplomats arrive at Versailles or Paris. In order to unders and the situation, it will be well to refer to past events. In order to bring the fearful slaughter of men to a close, President Wilson submitted to the Teutonic Allies a celebrated document, containing fourteen points or specifications, which the Germans were required to accept. Some people were of the opinion that this basis for a peace agreement originated, wholly and solely with President Woodrow Wilson, but it has since developed that they were approved in England and then finally assented to by all of the Allies, with the distinguished American Chief Executive as spokesman. One of the requirements was that a stable government, minus the Kaiser should be organized to treat for peace as the Allies refused to deal with the military dictatorship that Kaiser Wilhelm represented. After much parlaying, all of the Teutonic Allies accepted these Fourteen Points and Germany proceeded to have the Kaiser abdicate. This was followed by the organization of a popular Government with a Socialist occupying the highest position in this German Republic. With the acceptance of these terms, the trouble began for the Allies. Germany had been trying for many months to get the Allies together at the Peace table, being well informed as to the disagreements and jealousies existing between them. But the Allies had skillfully avoided all such attempts and only came together for the negotiation of peace when the financial resources had been almost exhausted and when the government of the United States had become in a great measure wearied over a struggle that was costing millions of dollars and thousands of lives of the best men of this Republic. But Germany was exhausted too. An armistice was signed that awakened bitter resentment in Germany on account of the rigorous nature of its terms, but the diplomats over there took another chance. They hoped to reap results from the dissension among the allies themselves at the Peace Conference. The Allies understood this and they decided to anticipate trouble by having a peace conference among themselves before they had the one with the Germans and their allies. After four months' conference, they are still far from reaching a unanimous agreement. What is the cause of this? In order to hold their allies together, it was necessary to make secret agreements, with them. China had entered into secret agreements with Japan. Great Britain in order to get Italy to forsake Germany entered in to secret agreements with that country, pledging its support morally financially and by force of arms. Other countries had been promised similar favors in order to have them stand together. When the several representatives met, they proceeded to bring up these secret agreements that were in conflict with the Fourteen Points and that were antagonistic to the interests of the many independent republics that were being fashioned and formed by the Allies in their rectification of frontiers and the recognition of the many republics. Italy had been promised more than any other country by Great Britain, but much of the area of land promised to her was included in the new republic of the Czechs and the JugoSlavs. Moreover, the agreement entered into with Germany and the principles enunciated by President Wilson as the spokesman for the Allies recognized the principle of no acquiring of territory and no indemnities. The principle of self-determination would prevail, that is the people themselves would determine to which country they would accord their allegiance. A provision was made for reparation by Germany to Belgium and also to the inhabitants of devastated countries, but there would be no payments of money to governments for THE BIRMINGHAM CLASS, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA loss of soldiers, expense of armies and the like. If a citizen of France had his house destroyed, the German Government would be required to pay this citizen for the loss of his house or other property, but there would be no payments paid to the State for any loss by the State. This caused an open rupture with France. Premier Clemenceau did not want to live up to this agreement in view of the sufferings of the French Republic. Finally, some sort of agreement was reached with him. Then Italy and Japan demanded settlement. Japan wished to hold the German concessions in China and Italy wanted to cross the Adriatic Sea and hold Flume. Great Britain and the United States declared this to be in violation of the armistice agreement with Germany and so the situation has become so acute that the meeting has threatened to break up several times in disorder. The delay in inviting the Germans to come to the meeting has seriously impaired the morale of the allied armies. The troops want to go home. Nearly all of them have enough of the glory of war. They have won their honors and for the time being, they are content. It is doubtful now if on either side the call to arms again would meet a hearty response. The people of all countries are sick, and tired of war. This applies of course to the thoroughly civilized countries of Europe. The semi civilized ones regard war as a part of their daily activities and the revel in blood-shed. With the settlement of the French contentions came the Japanese question. Japan is about the only nation out of the twenty-three that is alleged to have made money out of this war and as a result has recouped its financial resources. Japan through the influence of its ally, Great Britain secured recognition as one of the five great nations. But its citizens have not been accorded all of the rights and privileges of the other great powers. They have been limited as to their movement and action in other countries, noticeably so in the United States of America and in Australia and Canada. Japanese diplomats insisted upon the engrafting in the Constitution of the League of Nations a clause placing the citizens of all of these countries upon a basis of racial equality prohibiting any discrimination on account of race. This was opposed by Great Britain and by the United States. This has caused bitter feeling in Tokio, the capital of Japan and the indications are that trouble is still ahead for the Allies. In the meantime, Germany's representatives are scheduled to arrive at the Peace Conference April 28, 1919. It is be loved that they will sign the agreements and stipulations submitted by the Allies. Should they fail to sign, however there is much speculation as to what course the Allies would pursue in the premises. In the light of present developments, concerted action on the part of an armed force would be impossible. It may be well to remark that the uprising of the common people is being heralded all over Europe. Governments are being made and unmade and that the feeling of unrest has permeated Egypt and India, while Ireland is one soothing mass of insurrection. Irish delegates are demanding a hearing at the Peace Conference and Premier Lloyd George has been compelled to listen to an American appeal in their behalf. The disruption of the German Empire and the overthrow of Czarism in Russia and the Emperor in Austria have led to similar disturbances in the British Empire. How can this country face another war in front with insurrection in its rear? This is the situation as the culmination of the World War. Colored people in this country have been dissatisfied. They have loyally supported a Government that now in the moment of its triumph seems to be drifting back to its old moorings of racial discrimination and racial injustice. God alone can penetrate with His all-wise vision the future. Certainly those of us who trust in Him believe and realize that He holds the destinies of nations in His hands. A QUESTION OF LAW. The summary execution and punishment of colored soldiers for offenses have led to the summary execution and punishment of white soldiers under almost similar conditions and right here "hanga a tale." As a result of this, Lideoutant Colonel Samuel T. Ansell is braving the anger and resentment of the War Deartment and saying some plain things to the public in general and committee from the American Bar Association in particular. As that great legal organization enjoys a degree of exclusiveness itself, it is possible that the disclosures may result in a revulsion of feeling and a change of rules in the great legal organization itself. The Associated Press dispatch says: Washington April 22.—Lieutenant Colonel Samuel T. Anselm who in a lengthy preliminary statement yester day accused the committee of having placed itself under the domination of the War Department continued his testimony (today before the committee of the American Bar Association which is conducting an investigation of the administration of justice in the army. Colonel Anselm reiterated his assertion that the existing system was derived from days when "common sol diers" were the vassals of the king, and that it failed to recognize the sol diers as citizens of the state and declared it was the natural result of such a system that an officer caste should be built up. Declaring it a fact that the enlisted man did not receive the same consideration of his rights under the system that officers enjoyed. It is this caste, system that has barred the colored youth from the great national training school at West Point. The report continues: Colonel Anselm argued that the only remedy lay in: writing into law the guarantees of the rights of the soldier. While this is left to regulations to be prescribed by the President he said, it cannot be effective. "The attitude of the army" he added, "has been intolerant toward those methods necessary to justice. They do not take kindly to legal restraints." While a commander of troops must necessarily have arbitrary powers of command the officer asserted, it should not go to the extent of permitting them to hang men. "Congress cannot command the army." Colonel Ansell declared, "but Congress should prescribe the rules for its discipline. If you are going to have any law worthy of the name, you will not get it by committing it to departmental regulation. If it is to be left there all this agitation will have been in vain." Lieutenant Ansell is right and yet these same military officers at sunrise without even notifying the President of the United States who is Comander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy hanged thirteen colored soldiers and their action was reported after the men were dead and beyond the hope of a reprieve. What they did then did not attract much attention and arouse much resentment except among colored people. But since that time white men have gone the same route and now a revulsion of feeling is setting in. "The same measure ye mete, the same shall be measured to you again." It takes a brave, heroic man to take this position, while wearing the insignia of the regular army. The report says further: The officer, who was frequently interrupted by members of the committee to discuss involved legal questions as they arose in his argument asserted that there had been "a strong effort by the War Department to have the people and perhaps this committee believe that there was a substantial revision" of the articles of war in 1916. His attention was drawn to recent statements by General Crowder, judge advocate general showing that he agreed that the military code needed amendment. These statements, Colonel Ansell characterized as evidence of "a change of heart" on General Crowder's part, he declared that such statement's by that officer or Secretary Baker were "not made in a way to assure me as would a favorable report by this committee." This is virtually charging that the War Department is endeavoring to have the public and the Congress believe that the errors in the military procedures have been corrected while as a matter of fact the injustice practiced is as glaring as over.

OUR RACE'S PROGRESS It is the nemesis of unsound economies in government administration that one false step involves others equally false. Without looking to the consequences Washington started to fix prices of commodities. On the advent of peace it was found that so far from having established a reasonable maximum an extortionate minimum continued. But if this were all, it would have been tolerable. Step by step, this interference with the law of supply and demand led to other consequences which might have been foreseen. The next step was $t_0$ fix wages; and as the unions, and especially the railway unions, had the Administration and Congress by the throat it was necessary to advance wages when ever a new demand was male. The demand was even anticipated in some of those public utilities which the Post Office Department felt called up on to mismanage. But the baneful effect upon all industry of this Gov ernment regulation has not been suf ficiently appreciated. Government shipyards, for instance bid preposterous prices for the labor of rivets and others, some of whom were receiving upwards of $100 a week. The consequence of this was the establishment of an entirely false standard which the private shipbuilders were compelled to accept. Intelligence and firmness at Washington might have saved this, but it seems to have been impossible to show the politician that high wages are the cause of the high cost of living and that the latter is merely the pretext for wages out of all true relation to the value of the wealth created. Another step is being taken in an attempt to fix rents in New York regardless of supply and demand. If this were merely the securing of some fixity of tenure to protect the tenant holding on a monthly agreement against the capacity of speculators in tenement house property, much might be said for it. But the obvious idea is by a quack remedy to offset the initial evil of an artificial scale of wages accompanied by reduced production—one of the inevitable results for which the economic ignorance of Washington is directly responsible. Many hundred years ago a Roman emperor tried the same thing with the prices of over six hundred com modities. He, or rather the Roman Empire experienced the same consequences. There arose the insoluble problem of fixing rent; wages and everything else and the consequence was universal bankruptcy. Nothing could compel people to manufacture if the price was too low; and where the price was to high it nevertheless establish a minimum. The result was chaos. Are we to have similar results here?

SATURDAY ```markdown ``` ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., April 22.—The funeral of one of the oldest deacons of the First Baptist Church took place Monday evening, April 7. Quite a number of the older people were out to do honor to the memory of this great man as a strict attendant on all the services of his Church, from the Sunday School down. He was that noble example of Christianity and Church loyalty, a great and wise counsellor and a hero for the Master's cause. Rev. J. W. Lee, of the High Street Baptist Church eulogized the life in most befitting terms to the help of all who were present. Thanksgiving services of the I. O. of St. Luke were held Sunday evening, April 20, at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church at 3:30 o'clock, at which time one of the largest assemblages of secret orders ever seen in the city at any previous occasion. The Church was filled from pit to dome, gallery and standing room were at a premium. The program was fine and well rendered. Chief G. W. Coleman, at the head, acted as master of ceremonies with $ \mathrm{th} $ subordinates following in their order. The reports of the year showed great advancement and great good done in uplifting the principles of the Order. The program was very elaborate and spicy The collection was pleasing. A neat sum of $54.25 was given as a silver offering, which was quite pleasing. They really went over the top last Sunday. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Roberson, of Jerusalem Baptist Church, West End, who most accurately outlined the principles of the Order, pointing out every duty and obligation received in their hall of mysties and he further related he knew the Odd Fellows, knew the Masons, knew the Knights of Pythias, but exclaimed in the language of his text, "Who are these all arrayed in white." After much questioning he gave his audience to understand that he knew who they were as well as he knew the previous orders mentioned, or better. The wonderful prelate was more than equal to the task of the occasion and I am sure he caused many to return to their homes with new ideas of the fundamental principles of the Order of St. Luke.

There was a social welcome tendered the soldiers and sailors who had returned from overseas and from the various camps, given in honor of their safe arrival back home, after serious conflicts, privations and perils of life. They told some of the trying experiences of their sojourn in faraway France and the service in no man's land for world democracy for all lands from the river to the ends of the earth. Quite a large number of useful young men were present and related much of the experience each had undergone in hunger, labor and toil for the cause of the United States of America and the world for peace and prosperity of the nations of earth. Rev, W. W, Hicks delivered a most eloquent address of welcome to the returning heroes from the conflict in which he assured them of the cordiality with which all the citizens, parents and friends welcomed them back home once more after the most savage warfare engaged in since the world began. This was fully demonstrated in the painstaking way in which they gave to make the menu tasty and most pleasing to the young men who had seen war and had life in France, on sea and in camp. Many a time they were too busily engaged to even cat or drink. The spread was up-to-date in every particular and the ladies of the Church and city spared no pains in making the affair one of grandeur and high enjoyment. Mrs. George E. Moore rendered a solo, "The Wedding Bells." Dr. George E. Moore, M. D. gave a splen did talk on the duty of a soldier from a national point of view, from the remotest age of the world down to this modern age of soldiery, speaking of the soldiers' who crucified our Lord and Saviour, nailed His form to the cruel cross. It was a soldier who pierced Him with a spear, soldiers who pressed the crown of thorns on His tender brow. These things were very atrocious and wicked. He urged that the soldiers of today be more faithful to honorable and sacred trust to our obligations to our God and our nation, for the good of our land, for which our heroes have fought, bled and died on the battlefields of France and on sea and in camps to maintain the honor of the American flag that floats to the breeze of sweet freedom liberty, justice and truth.

He came to his grave as a shock of corn. As he beautifully pictured the ripening corn or grain, each one in attendance could easily discover the beauty of life in old age as they listened to the instruction and warning given.
