WATKINS SENT TO ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY University of Illinois. Urbana Champaign, April 24, 1918 The Editor. The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Virginia. My Dear Mr. Mitchell Taken together with the sketch I sent you a few days ago, I think the following letter excerpts will explain to you as to why I am writing you from the University of Illinois instead of from the Illinois College of Photography, in Erringham. Excerpt of letter from the District Board, Chicago Federal Board for Vocational Education, to President L. H. Bissell, president of the Illinois College of Photography, Erringham Illinois. "With regard to Mr. Watkins, this Board is animated at the attitude of the student body, in that it appeared to be evident that it would not tolerate a colored punishment at the institution. It would seem to be blind prejudice which made the students come to such conclusions regarding his presence at your college. Only pity can be expressed for those who are lettered with such selfish, ignorant and un Christian traditions. We are sure that at the University of Illinois we will encounter no such prejudice and will have the opportunity to follow his chosen vocation unmoved by a student body of very dim vision." EXCERT FROM MR. HISSELLS ANSWER TO THE ABOVE "We have especially the articulate of the four Southern students shown in the few minutes Mr. G. C. Greener and Mr. L. D. Perry were before the student body. We agree with you that it is blind prejudice. "Mr. Watkins has conducted himself like a gentleman in every respect, since he has been with us and we could not ask for better conduct. "The Northern students who by far are in the majority are quite indignant at the conduct of the four southern students. They respect that their side of the case could not be heard in the extremely limited time the two representatives had at the college. "We will be pleased to read your letter to the students in assembly to morrow morning." I shall hold that the Board has transferred use to the University of Illinois to continue my course in photography. Yours very sincerely, —UCIAN B. WAVKINS Madam Walker Improving. New York, May 6, 1919. The illness of Mine C. J. Walker which caused such widespread anxiety among her large circle of friends and business associates throughout the country a week ago, has diminished to the point at which her physician, Major Ward, contemplates allowing his patient to see a few of her friends by the end of this week. Mine Walker is now at her new residence, Villa Loweye Irvington on the Hudson where under the direction of Dr. Ward burettes as to her condition are issued daily from her New York home, 105 West 136 street. Miss Violet Davis, Chief Bookkeeper of the Mine C. J. Walker's Company, is here from the Indiana office, installing a new system for the Eastern Branch of the business. Miss Davis has been with the company for more than four years. Her work represents a hundred percent efficiency. The cheeks and mouth of the various lines of Mine, Walker's business are all doing their best work during illness, which shows that they have a strong perceived interest in the success of their employer.

The American Negro's Duty to the American Flag and the Flag's Duty to the Negro. Uzziah Minor Speaks Again. To the Editor of the Richmond Planet, I have at last returned from the historic hat fields of Europe where I saw active service at the "front" as an artillery specialist, in Battery "F" 349th Field Artillery, 163th Field Artillery Brigade, 92nd division. While at Brest, France, our Battery decided to publish an official organ under the title "Modern Artillery poem." The duties of Editor-in-Chief tell upon my shoulders. I am sending a copy under separate cover from which you will find some interesting matter, concerning the 339th Field Artillery Regiment in particular and the other colored artillery regiments in general. THE LETTER THAT BARRED THE PLANET Editor Mitchell, you no doubt recalled that in my letter to you August 14, 1967, I plainly stated that if I was battled in o the army, I would not suffer the stigma of doing the lend in molesting or tarnishing the splendid military record that has been maintained by colored Americans, ever since the immoral Crisis. But at knives bravely and willingly sacrificed his life and future career on Boston Commons, that American Independence might be achieved and that an American Democracy might be born. I have kept my word, I wish to say the at that time I felt justified in refuting to volunteer to fight for a democracy hero; theses until I was first assured and thoroughly convinced that President Wilson and his co-workers would leave no one unarmed in seeing to it that a true unarmed, animatable democracy would be established and upheld in the land of my motivity. REMAINED STEADFAST As no resistance came, I remained on alert and unmovable in my determination to refuse to go to war in a volunteer. I could clearly see also the war meant practically nothing to American Norwegians but lost health, terrible wounds, broken bones, death and worst of all, the contested doubt of a square deal and a fair choice in the social, political educational and economic life of our country which is being held up to the world as no only the champion of, but the very personification of a true democracy. THE TIME TO SPEAK It appeared to me that the time had come for twelve million colored Americans to say to the "powers that be" that it is our God given right to "reason why" just as much so as it is our duty to "do and die." I personally, I did not wish to be a party to a "faked" mission. I did not wish to ro, aloud "filihiri" the world, pretending, as it were that I was flight tight wordily and gladly to secure democracy for white people, three thousand miles over sea, and had no notted my hand for a democracy for my own people in my home land. SEEKS A JOKE. It seemed to me to be a joke something together inconsistent, sometimes it would invite the ridicule of not only Germany but of our Allies themselves. While in France I saw battles that had been dropped from the enemy's aeroplanes, in which they urged colored soldiers to desert the American Army, claiming that in Germany. Negroes are treated as men and promised us that we would be accorded the same good treatment, but notwithstanding our racial grievances to which the German program did called attention and not standstill the fact that a majority of the colored soldiers sincerely believed that Germany was acting in good faith. They remained loyal to their country and their country's flag. REMAINED LONAL These colored soldiers felt that their special obligation to their loved ones in home as well as their part in their duty to their flag was to continue defending it, courageously and unruthenically, hoping and praying, of course that their one hundred per cent, motivation would influence the first in turn to rise and guarantee one hundred per cent protection to the lamb肋 partiote Nero under it folly. It it the Nero's horrible duty to be ever ready and willing to protect the flag, surely it is the lamb肋 partiote duty to be ever on the alert in protecting the Nero. A flag that will not protect its protectors Colonel R. G. Invercrow is a duty ring that can intimidate the air in which it waves. Washington, D. C., April 26, 1919.

The deceased had been the beloved pastor of this congregation from May 1, 1872 to January 21, 1949, nearly forty seven years, and "none knew him but to love him, or named him but to praise." Exercises were held throughout the day, beginning with the Sunday School and ending with the night services. Memorable speeches were made by Deacones C. H. Muntford, John Baker, J. H. Cunningham, St. John A. Turner and a recitation by Miss Marie Washington. Dr. L. C. Garland delivered the memorial address, "On behalf of the Ministry and Sister Churches."

Historians tell us that all things pass in time. Mr. Historian, will the time ever come when mob rule and trace prejudice shall, like the origin of the Savastian, be los in antiquity? America and her Allies put an end to the Gettmann attack the November 11, 1918. America, why not put an end to the disturbing crimes that are been committed throughout the United States? France celebrated Armistice Day by hanging out the American Flag and anothering it with kisses. This was the Alphof of the New Democracy. Sheffield, Alabama coe-railed Armistice Day by hanging an American Negro and rubbing him with bullets. Let us hope that his was theomega of the old Democracy. THE BOILING POINT REACHED The blood pulsating in the body of every true American reached holdin' point when the Indian was sunk. Just so, for I know of no manlier set than that of protecting women. *Statistic* shows us that 38 men and 2 women were lynched, during 1918. In the pos. thirty three years 2 75 Lynchings have occurred in the United States. Thanks to the impartial Statistician, ninety per cent. of these nine gangs were committed in the slaughter the land that Thomas Davenport his count upible work "The Leop and the Sun" cells romantic, eloquent, homeric, chivalrous, justful, proud knot, one hopeful boy." THE CAUSE OF MIGRATION Do you wonder why the Nerroes are migrating North? Trace history back to the year 1863 and you will find that the immortal Lincoln tilted the yoke of slavery from the shoulders of more than four millions of Negroes. The majority of whom immediately shook from their heels the dust of the scard, cunning south." They were turned loose as animals to roam the woods; pumiless and homeless, without one foot of land to call their own or a shelter to shield them from the bitter cold. This was the dawn of a new day; offering bright prospects. Many of them were deserts of staying in the land that they had made bloom and blossom, irritated with the blood of their human bodies. To South Carolina, Georgia and Texas they thickened in search of commensal companions. Others migrated North, some West. Those who went North were received by humanitarianists who immediately offered them unlimited educational advantages. Those who remained in the South were given employment with small salaries. Some of the wo men were forced to be combinés for their masters. They were debauched by them and gave birth to their legitimate children. THE BEST PLACE FOR THE NEGRO STARTLED THE WORLD In the past four years the Germans have committed crimes that have started the world. In the past thirty three years the American Huns have committed crimes that have shocked the earth from center to circumference. Germany has been brought to justice and must atone for the past. Have the American Huns been punished, who wantonly supervised the burning and lynching of innocent Negro men and women? THE CITY MEETING-KEEP POSTED PRICE, FIVE CENTS In denouncing the hellish crimes committed by the low class of Southern white men, I do not wish to include the better class of Southern white men. Throughout the South there are white men unexcelled in character and religion; white men who strive to uphold the integrity of the law; white men who live up to the lotty ideals of American Democracy. Too much cannot be said in praising them. In many cities of the South the white and colored people dwelt together in perfect peace and harmony. WANT LAWS ENGAGED Now, in justice to the Negro race that followed the American flag from Washington over the gory fields of France, through the bloody forest of the Artoine and helped to plant it by their patriotic efforts at home, on the East bank of the River Rhine; in justice to the Negro soldiers who laid their lives upon the Altar of Democracy. For greater love hath no man than he who dies for his country.' In justice to the generations yet unborn who shall cherish the memories of the noble and patriotic deeds of their foreparents. May America enact a law that will wipe out lynching and race prejudice. The damnable curse of the South will then be lost in oblivion. MERCENT S. HARTH. 1st. Stor. C., "C" 220th Labor Rattailion, Q.

A NOTES The meeting of last Friday night was an opener to many good things for the future. The class for the explanation on the Sunday School Lesson was well attended last Saturday and a very helpful hour was spent. Last Sunday was a great day with the boys and men for service. 9:30 A.M., the workers met and they had a good time in getting the right start. The women of the penitentiary were a happy bunch 10 A.M. and took an active part in the meeting. 10 A.M., the committee visited the city jail and a great time was had for the benefit of the prisoners. The committee for the city home was made welcome 10 A. M., and the inmates were very thankful. 3:30 P. M., at the 5th St., Baptist Church a large crowd was out to hear Dr. George W. Mc Daniel pastor of the First Baptist Church (white) who delivered a sermon right from his soul. Dr. T. J. King pastor of the church made the Doctor welcome, thus the people were happy to hear. The music by the choir will not be forgotten very soon. We hear the songs, Prof. Joseph Matthews knows how to give that which goes right to the heart. A good collection was given. Everybody left this meeting happy. President John S. Powel presided. Bring a friend to the explanation on the Sunday School Lesson today 5 P. M., at the Y. M. C. A.

W., died April 30 at the Burrell Memorial Hospital, after undergoing an operation four week previous. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. W. Hicks, of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. He spoke to the audience in a most instructive manner on the all important subject of making the necessary preparation of meeting friends and loved ones who had gone before. Surviving Mr. Clark are, a loving wife, two children, mother, father, seven brothers, four sisters and a host of relatives and friends. The floral designs were profuse and very beautiful, especially the design given by the N. and W. brakemen, with whom he had labored for many years. The pall bearers were brakemen and these brakemen marched in a body from the home to the N. and W. station, where the remains were shipped to Vickers Switch, where interment took place, Friday evening, May 2, 1919. Mrs. Sarah C. Shorts, of Richmond Va, was present with the mourners. She remained over until Sunday and attended the services at the First Baptist Church Sunday morning and left for home Sunday night. Mrs. A. O. Clark wishes to thank the many friends who furnished their automobiles for service in the hours of her sorrow and saddest bereavements. She also wishes to extend her many thanks to the brakemen for the very beautiful design and the voluntary assistance rendered.

E. left for home Sunday evening on the west bound train, expressing herself as having royally enjoyed her trip. The services at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, Sunday, May 5, at eleven o'clock were another occasion of deep consideration and examination of one's self, it being Holy Communion. After a very logical discourse by the pastor, Rev. James S. Hatcher, the Communion was administered. The pastor's theme was, "By Way of the Cross." The message was very plain and simple. At night the pastor preached a short but very helpful sermon on the subject, "The Law of Returns for Good or Ill." Little Willie, who has been confined to his room for a week is up and out on the job again for the N. C. Mutual. Sunday was a high day at Jerusalem Baptist Church. Rev. Robertson preached morning and night. At 3 o'clock the Reverend and his people worshipped at Reed Street Baptist Church, Vinton, Va., assisting Rev. W. M. Moore. Rev. Moore is back from Gary, W. Va., where a grand revival was carried on for a week and many souls converted and saved, together with a very successful financial ingathering as well, for which the pastor was greatly encouraged to realize the help of the Master. Mr. Thomas Ward, of Pittsburgh was called to the bedside of his very ill wife, Mrs. Sarah M. Ward, 224 Madison Avenue, N. W.

WATKINS SENT TO ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY University of Illinois, Ubrana College, April 24, 1919 The Editor, The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Virginia. My Dear Mr. Mitchell—Taken together with the sketch I sent you a few days ago, I think the following letter-exceptels will explain to you as to why I am writing you from the University of Illinois instead of from the Illinois College of Photography, in Effingham. Excerpt of letter from the District Board, Chicago Federal Board for Vocational Education, to President L. H. Hass, president of the Illinois College of Photography, Effingham Illinois. "With regard to Mr. Watkins, this Board is amazed at the attitude of the student body, in that it appeared to be evident that it would not tolerate a colored gentleman at the institution. It would seem to be blind prejudice which made the students come to such conclusions regarding his presence at your college. Only pity can be expressed for those who propped with such selfish ignorance and un-Christian traditions. We are sure that at the University of Illinois he will encounter no such pro justice and will have the opportunity to follow his chosen vocation unanoyed by a student body of very dim vision." EXCERPT FROM MR. DISSELL'S ANSWER TO THE ABOVE: "We regrese exceedingly the attitude of the four Southern students shown in the few minutes Mr. G. C. Greener and Mr. L. D. Perry were before the student body. We agree with you that it is blind prejudice. "Mr. Watkins has conducted him self like a gentleman in every respect, since he has been with us and we could not ask for better conduct. "The Northern students who by far are in the majority are quite indignant at the conduct, of the four southern students. They regret that their side of the case could not be heard in the extremely limited time the two representatives had at the college. "I will be pleased to read your letter to the students at assembly to morrow morning." I shall add that the Board has transferred me to the University of Illinois to continue my course in photography. You're very sincerely, —LUCIAN B. WATKINS. Madam Walker Improving. New York, M. 6, 1919.-The Blessness of Mme. C. J. Walker which caused such idlespread anxiety among her large circle of friends and business associates throughout the country a week ago, has diminished to the point at which her physician, Major Ward, contemptulates allowing his patient to see a few of her friends by the end of this week. Mme. Walker is now at her new residence, Villa Lewarro Irvington-on-the-Hudson-where under the direction of Dr. Ward bulletins as to her condition are issued daily from her New York home, 108 West 136 street. Miss Violet Davis, Chief Bookkeeper of the Mme. C. J. Walker's Company, is here from the Indianapolis office, installing a new system for the Eastern Branch of the business. Miss Davis has been with the company for more than four years. Her work represents a hundred per cent efficiency. The clerks and managers of the various lines of Mme. Walker's business are all doing their best work during her illness, which shows that they have a strong personal interest in the success of their employer. Pres.

The American Negro's Duty to the American Flag and the Flag's Duty to the Negro. Uzziah Minor Speaks Again. To the Editor of the Richmond Planet—I have at last returned from the historic battlefields of Europe where I saw active service at the "Front" as an artillery specialist, in Battery "F" "349th Field Artillery, 167th Field Artillery Brigade, 92nd Division. While at Brest, France, our Battery decided to publish an official organ under the title "Modern Artillery-men." The duties of Editor-in-Chief fell upon my shoulders. I am sending a copy of the separate cover, which you will find some interesting matter, concerning the 349th Field Artillery Regiment in particular and the other colored artillery regiments in general. THE LETTER THAT BARRED THE PLANET. Editor Mitchell, you no doubt recall that in my letter to you August 14, 1917, I plainly stated that if I was trapped into the army, I would not suffer the stigma of doing the least in molesting or tarnishing the splendid military record that has been maintained by colored Americans, over since the immortal Cola. I have been bravely and future career on Boston Commons, that American Independence might be achieved and that an American Democracy might be born. I have kept my word. I wish to say that at that time I felt justified in refusing to volunteer to fight for a democracy across the seas until I was first assured and thoroughly convinced that President Wilson and his government had learnt and returned in seeing to it that a true, unspotted, unimpeachable democracy would be established and uphold in the land of my nativity. REMAINED STEADFAST As no assurance came, I remained steadfast and unmovable in my determination to refuse to go to war as a volunteer. I could clearly see that the war meant practically nothing to American Negroes but lost health, terrible wounds, broken bones or death and worst of all, the continued denial of a square deal and a threat to the political educational and economic force of our country which is being held up to the world as not only the champion of, but the very personification of a true democracy. THE TIME TO SPEAK. It appeared to me that the time had come for twelve million colored Americans to say to the "powers that be," it is our God-given right to "reason why" just as much as so it is our duty to "do and die." Personally, I did not wish to be a party to a "failed" mission. I did not wish to g₀ abroad "faking" the world, pretending, as it were that I was wittingly wilfully and gladly to secure democracy for white people three miles over sea and had not lifted my hand over my own or my own people in my home land. SEEMS A JOKE. It seemed to me to be a joke, something altogether inconsistent, something that would invite the ridicule of not only Germany but of our Allies themselves. While in France I saw leaflets that had been dropped from the enemy's aeroplanes, in which they urged colored soldiers to desert the American Army, claiming that in Germany, Negroes are treated as men, and promising us that we would be accorded the same good treatment. But notwithstanding our racial grevies to which the German propaganda called attention and not itchstanding the fact that a majority of the colored soldiers sincerely believed that Germany was acting in good faith. They remained loyal to their country and their country's flag. REMAINED LOYAL. These colored soldiers felt that their sacred obligation to their loved ones at home, as well as their patriotic duty to their flag was to continue defending it, courageously and unflinchingly, hoping and praying, of course that their one hundred percent, patrioticism would influence the flag, in turn to give and guarantee one hundred per cent protection to the humblest patriotic Negro under it holds. If it is the Negro's patriotic duty to ever ready and willing to protect the flag, surely it is the flag's patriotic duty to be ever on the alert in protecting the Negro. A flag that will not protect its protectors says Colonel R. G. Ingersoll, is a dirty rag that contaminates the air in which it waves.

Mr. Historian, will the time ever come when mob—rule and race—prejudice shall, like the origin of the Swastika, be lost in antiquity? America and her Allies put an end to the German atrocities November 11, 1918. America, why not put an end to the dastardly crimes that are being committed throughout the United States France be celebrated Armistice Day by hanging them American Flag and smothering it with kisses. This was the Alpha of the New Democracy, Sheffield, Alabama celebrated Armistice Day by hanging an American Negro and riddling him with bullets. Let us hope that this was the Omega of the old Democracy. THE BOILING POINT REACHED. The blood pulsating in the body of every true American reached boiling point when the Laustania was sunk. Just so, for 1 know of no manlier act than that of protecting women. Statistics show us that 88 men and 5 women were lynched during 1918. In the past thirty-three years 3, 785 lynchings have occurred in the United States. Thanks to the impartial Indian theater thirty per cent, of these lynchings were permitted by the South; the land that Thomas Dixon, in his contemptible work "The Leapons's Spots" calls romantic, eloquent, bombastic, chivalrous, lustful, proud kind and hospitable." THE CAUSE OF MIGRATION Do you wonder why the Negroes are migrating North? Trace history back to the year 1863 and you will find that the immortal Lincoln lifted the yoke of slavery from the shoulders of more than four millions of Negroes. The majority of whom immediately shook from their heels the dust of the "cruel, cunning south," They were turned loose as animals to roam the woods; peniless and homeless, without one foot of land to call their own or a shelter to shield them from the bitter cold. This was the dawn of a new day; offering bright prospects. Many of them were desirous of staying in the land that they had made bloom and blossom, irrigated with the blood of their human bodies. To South Carolina, Georgia and Texas they flocked in search of congenial companions. Others migrated North, some West, Those who went North were received by humanitarians who immediately unfilmed educational advantages they remained in the South were given with small salaries. Some of the men were forced to be conubiae for their masters. They were debauched by them and gave birth to their illegitimate children. THE BEST PLACE FOR THE NEGRO Race leaders have been asked to urge the Negro to stay in the South. Many of them, were told that the South was the best place for the Negro as they were best liked by Southern white men; the Southern white man understands the Negro and that the Negro understands the Southern white man. To par. of this I agree as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth of God. What do I believe $t_0$ be true? is it true that I believe the white man understands the traits and character of the Negro? The answer is no. Is it true that the Negro understands the traits and character of the South white man? The answer is yes (spelled with a capital Y.) For more than two hundred years the Negro has been studying the Southern white man. For centuries the Negro was made to serve and worship the South white man. For centuries the Negro was a student in that great institution called Slavery. His teacher was a Southern white man. With God he enriched the soil. Day after day he lived right he feervely prayed for that freedom promised by his creator. The Negro has had a splendid opportunity to learn the ways of the Southern white man. STARTLED THE WORLD In the past four years the Germans have committed crimes that have started the world. In the past thirty three years the American Huns have committed crimes that have shook the earth from center to circumference. Germany has been brought to justice and must stone for the past. Have the American Huns been punished, who wantonly supervised the burning and lynching of innocent Negro men and women? PRICE, FIVE CENTS by pause in replying; in thumbling the holy crimes committed by the two classes of Southern white men, I do not wish to in include the better class of Southern white men. Throughout the South there are white men unexcelled in character and religion; white men who strive to uphold the integrity of the law; white men who live up to the lofty ideals of American Democracy. Too much cannot be said in praising the white and cailed people dwelling together in perfect peace and harmony. WANT LAWS ENGAGED Now, in justice $t_0$ the Negro race that followed the American flag from Washington over the gory fields of France, through the bloody forest of the Argonne and helped to plant it by their patriotic efforts at home, on the East bank of the River Rhine; in justice to the Negro soldiers who laid their lives upon the Altar of Democracy. 'For greater love hath no man than he who dies for his country.' In justice $t_0$ the generations yet unborn who shall cherish the memories of the noble and patriotic deeds of their foreparents: May America enact a law that will wipe out lynching and race prejudice. The damnable curse of the South will then be lost in history. HENBERT S. HARTH, 1st Sergei, Co. "U" 320th Labor Battalion, Q. M. C American Forces, France Forces, France Congrèsed I. I. I. I. W.

To The City Editor—Will you kindly offer for the United Civic League (Inc.) of New York City through the columns of your great paper, this un tarnished truth, as a fundamental and safe basis for a permanent peace, three points to cure the world's unrest? The people of the world as well as the United States are primarily inter ested more in permanent peace than they are a League of Nations with outangling alliances and entried obligations; and if one is dependent upon the other (which we $ \mathrm{d}_{0} $ not believe) then all of the extraordinary, unsym pathetic and stragetic jockeying for advantage and control over the weak er nations and the less forward units or groups of peoples in the world should cease. We believe the League of Nations, as now proposed, to be a positive menace to world democracy and an enemy to freedom; we believe it to be a colossal, arbitrary effort on the part of $ \mathrm{w_{0}} $ or three great countries with kindred tongues and customs to deny the smaller nations and weaker peoples of the world self determination, industrial freedom and political autonomy; and if these be the aims of the League they are to say the least clandestine. And no permanent peace can or will prevail built upon the structure of injustice or the arrogance of one class of people over the other. Any successful peace agreement looking forward 'o permanency must breathe into its vitals Burns' magni ficent regard for humanity. "A man's a man for a that," or else the proposed league should include in its program preparations for a more drastic war than the one from which we have just emerged. When art Author of our Hope and Faith said, "Let there be light," the golden rays of this command shone upon every tribe as well as in every nook and corner of the earth; so like unto it, when the commissioners on the "League of Nations" sign a treaty of Peace the beneficent influence should rest with equal grace upon the heads of the high, the low, the weak and the strong. Equality of opportunity in every direction, equality of human rights absolute and equal political justice will cure all ill to which the world is heir—and may God forbid our country, the United States, partici pating in any other kind.

The early years after the restoration of our Union saw the centralization of American soldiers descended from African ancestors into four popular units, namely; The Ninth and the Tenth Cavalry Regiments and the Twenty-fourth and the Twenty-fifth Regiments of Infantry. If we add to these outfits several companies of supply, headquarters and machine guns and the large number of recruits (unassigned) that were drawing the pay of soldiers prior to June 10, 1916 enlisted men of the extraction men above exceeded the one-tenth (1-10) ratio generally allotted to them in mutual federal affairs. This excess percentage, however or any fluctuation that might have attended it during the weary years of these units' military service did not hinder their making a splendid record. It is noted with regret that this record has been marred at intervals by certain intolerable exhibitions. While these soldiers have been con spicuous for their acts of bravery and faithful service, permanently commissed officers of the same race have very few. This fact we charge primarily to two conditions: (1) that they were without congressional representation; (2) that the embarrassments heaped upon the cadets who at tempted to study the Federal Military Academy, West Point, New York discouraged the most of such aspirants. The entrance of our country into "The World War" awakened in the friends of the Negro a strong desire to see him represented in the great struggle by officers as well as by soldiers. Many thanks to all who stood by this idea until it matured its fruit. And now amid the joys of "Westward bound" comes the report that our government will maintain in the future an army of half million men. By the old ratio tradition fifty thous and colored men will form a part of it. The events touching the lives of the U. S. colored troops during our association with the allied powers against the common enemy have clearly demonstrated to the men who will constitute our quota of the new army the multitudinous advantages of having their own officers. It will only be a matter of fairness and exaltation of the principles of American independence if colored officers are appointed to command colored troops How shall these officers be obtained? Realizing that segregation, the pre vailing attitude toward the Negro in America is not ideal and that it will sooner or later bring forth; within a nation we will commend the future to "The God of All Grace" and go ahead, crossing the bridges as we come to them. Our military Academy commonly known as "West Point," was founded a hundred and seventeen years ago for the tactical training of American youths. But Negro youths are not welcome there. The method demonstrated by the organization and training of the "Seventeenth Provisional Training Regiment," Fort Des Moines, Iowa, greatly advanced the cause of the Negro. The six hundred men who won their commissions at that school made the way possible for many more hundreds of their comrades who were to attend the camp schools during the next twelve months. It may well be called a common sense method for handling a delicate situation. In consideration of the facts here in expressed it seems highly fitting and proper that a federal military academy with the same status as the academy now in existence at West Point, New York, be organized and equipped for the training of Negro cadets. I present this idea to the friends of the colored race and to the Congress of the United States that is about to reassemble. Faithfully subscribed, —JULIAN L. BROWN, Chaplain U. S.

WALKER'S SUPPLY STATION Get Your Goods at Wholesale Prices and Save Expense. MARY E. COLEMAN, AGENT, 107 W. Clay St., Richmond, Va. TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD. There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Sebby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Scoby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Scoby's Quinade and Scoby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

Signed: her AMY x LEWELLYN, mark Beneficiary. Witnesses: PAUL MARTIN, JR. J. J. EASLEY J. H. MARTIN D. D. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. The early years after the restoration of our Union saw the centralization of American soldiers descended from African ancestors into four popular units, namely: The Ninth and the Tenth Cavalry Regiments and the Twenty-fourth and the Twenty-fifth Regiments of Infantry. If we add to these outfits several companies of supply, headquarters and machine guns and the large number of recruits (unassigned) that were drawing the pay of soldiers prior to June 10, 1916 enlisted men of the extraction men above exceeded the one-tenth (1-10) ratio generally allotted to them in mutual federal affairs. This excess percentage, however or any fluctuation that might have attended it during the weary years of these units' military service did not hinder their making a splendid record. It is noted with regret that this record has been marred at intervals by certain intolerable exhibitions. While these soldiers have been spacious for their acts of bravery and faithful service, permanently commissed officers of the same race have very few. This fact we charge primarily to two conditions: (1) that they were without congressional representation; (2) that the embarrassments heaped upon the cadets who at tempted to study the Federal Military Academy, West Point, New York discouraged the most of such aspirants. The entrance of our country into "The World War" awakened in the friends of the Negro a strong desire to see him represented in the great struggle by officers as well as by soliders. Many thanks to all who stood by this idea until it matured its fruit. And now amid the joys of "Westward bound" comes the report that our government will maintain in the future an army of half million men. By the old ratio tradition fifty thous and colored men will form a part of it. The events touching the lives of the U. S. colored troops during our association with the allied powers against the common enemy have clearly demonstrated to the men who will constitute our quota of the new army the multitudinous advantages of having their own officers. It will only be a matter of fairness and exaltation of the principles of American independence if colored officers are appointed to command colored troops How shall these officers be obtained? Realizing that segregation, the prevailing attitude toward the Negro in America is not ideal and that it will sooner or later bring forth; within a nation we will commend the future to "The God of All Grace" and so ahead by crossing the bridges as we within a nation we will commend the future to "The God of All Grace" and go ahead, crossing the bridges as we come to them. Our military Academy commonly known as "West Point," was founded a hundred and seventeen years ago for the tactical training of American youths. But Negro youths are not welcome there. The method demonstrated by the organization and training of the "Seventeenth Provisional Training Regiment," Fort Des Moines, Iowa, greatly advanced the cause of the Negro. The six hun dred men who won their commissions at that school made the way possible for many more hundreds of their comrades who were to attend the camp schools during the twelve months. It may well be called a common sense method for handling a delicate situation. In consideration of the facts here in expressed it secures highly fitting and proper that a federal military academy with the same status as the academy now in existence at West Point, New York, be organized and equipped for the training of Negro cadets. I present this idea to the friends of the colored race and to the Congress of the United States that is about to reassemble. Faithfully subscribed, —JULIAN L. BROWN, Chaplain U. S.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....60 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....MAY 10, 1919 DR. DU BOIS ATTACKS EMMETT J. SCOTT. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is back again in the United States of America and if we are to judge from some of the things that he has published in the May number of the Crisis, the truce between him and that distinguished southerner, Emmett J. Scott is at an end. He makes an attack upon him that tends to show that the divisional lines that were so marked before the outbreak of the war have again been made to appear in a more intensified form although it seemed that they had been obliterated. He charges Mr. Scott with having destroyed the prospect of a complete Negro history from the pen of that masterly historian, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois with a compilation of facts obtained by both of them. What else can his comment mean? Here it is: Most American Negroes do not realize that the imperative duty of the moment is to fix in history the status of our Negro troops. Already subtle influences are preparing a fatal attack. It is repeated openly among influential persons: "The black laborers did well—the black privates can fight—but the Negro officer is a failure." This is not true and the facts exist to disprove it, but they must be marshalled with historical vision and scientific accuracy. He continues: Sensing this some months ago, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People commissioned Dr. Du Bois to prepare a history and appropriated $2,000 toward the expense. Dr. Du Bois immediately sought $o associate with him—not as subordinates, but on terms of full equality—a board of three or four editors and a large consulting board of colored men. It immediately developed that co-operation was impossible. A white man, Mr. F. P. Stockbridge, of New York, had already planned and was preparing a popular history and had secured the co-operation of Mr. Emmett Scott ar' others. Neither he nor Mr. Scott wished to change their plans and neither would accept co-operation, except upon terms which we deemed impossible. Mr. C. G. Woodson, Editor of The Journal of Negro History, refused to co-operate except as Editor-in-Chief. It is needless to ask if the above is true. Dr. Du Bois is an authority. But he states that Hon. Emmett J. Scott did not wish to change his plans. This assertion would seem to mean that with such an astute and accurate compiler of facts at his elbow so to speak, Mr. Scott turned away from him. If this is true and it is true for the reason that Dr. Du Bois says that it is true, what was the cause of such action? Why was it that Dr. Du Bois declined to co-operate with Mr. Scott and Mr. Scott declined to co-operate with Dr. Du Bois? Will the colored people in this country never co-operate with each other? Will they forever show to the world that they are unable to act as a unit? It would seem so. Dr. Du Bois is disgusted. His language shows that for he says: Unity being thus plainly impossible, Dr. Du Bois disposed to drop the project as far as he was personally concerned and leave the work to others. The Executive Officers of the N. A. A. C. P., however, thought it best for Dr. Du Bois to proceed to France and look over the field especially with regard to a Pan-African Congress and the facts obtainable there concerning Negro troops. And again: The result of this trip is that we are convinced: 1. That the truth concerning Negroes in this war must be told impartially and entirely. No conscientious person will deny this. But he says further: 2. That no person in official position dare tell the whole truth. This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But it applies with sledge-hammer effect to the aspirations of the distinguished man of letters. He wanted a captaincy in the regular army and he gave as his reason for wanting it that he --- could find out certain things that would otherwise not be available to him. Of what use would it have been to either him or to the race if what he says is true? We emphasize it: "No person in an official position dared tell the whole truth." How could he have told it, had he been subject to the orders of the War Department? Mr. Scott holds no rank in the regular army and is not subject to the rules and regulations of the great war machine that has built up the caste system in this country. When he tenders his resignation as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, he is as free as the average citizen and he can open his own mouth as wide as he pleases. This is not true of a trooper in the regular army, who may have his pension allowance affected by his adverse action. Dr. Du Bois then virtually states that he will proceed with the work for he remarks: 3. That notwithstanding the unfortunate duplication of effort and multiplying of histories, it is the plain duty of the N. A. A. C. P. and The Crisis to compile and publish a complete history of "The Negro in the Revolution of the Twentieth Century." Such a history is, therefore, projected in three volumes, preceded by a brief forecast. The forecast will be issued as a supplement to the June Crisis. It will be a short but complete history of the Negro in the war. It will be followed this year by Volume I of the full history; Volumes II and III will appear in 1920 and 1921. Every reader of The Crisis is asked to help in the compilation of this history. Please write us immediately and let us know what co-operation we may expect. The war has ended on the other side of the Atlantic, but it seems to have "broken out" on this side, provided Hon. Emmett J. Scott sees fit to meet the issue in the arena of comment or in the forum of debate. Dr. Du Bois continues his attack upon Mr. Scott when he says in an open letter: The Negro world and you will bear us witness that The Crisis and its Editor have given you loyal and unselfish co-operation, even at the cost of suspicion and criticism. We have done this, First, because the war demanded and had a right to demand, unswerving loyalty and unity on the part of the nation and its constituent groups; and, Secondly, because we believed that you were doing all that was possible under very difficult circumstances. A visit to Europe has however, revealed to the Editor a state of affairs in regard $t_0$ Negro troops which is simply astounding! Some of these facts we are publishing this month and others we shall reveal later. Meantime, we are with holding judgment in your case and simply asking you publicly three questions: 1. Did you know the treatment which black troops were receiving in France? 2. If you did Not know, why did you not find out? 3. If you Did know, what did you do about it? Hon. Emmett J. Scott can, but will he answer these questions? Dr. Du Bois has on his "fighting clothes." A blind man can almost see that. What is the meaning of these attacks? What is to be gained by this "war in Africa?" Has Hon. Emmett J. Scott been recruit to his trust? Dr. Du Bois intimates as much. If he has the evidence, let him produce it. If he is not sure of his ground, let him say so. We are free to admit that we have been puzzled relative to the silence that has pervaded the headquarters or the apartments of the Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. We wondered, if he had "been lost in the shuffle." Did he do all that he could to remedy these conditions? If he did not, he is justly subject to adverse criticism. If he did he should be the object of unstinted praise. His salary, we understand was one dollar per year and the continuance of his allowance as Secretary of Tuskegee Institute. It is a cheap man, who would have accepted the job at ten thousand dollars per year. He proved a most convenient buffer to save white men from personal annoyance and in his archives complaints evidently slept in "inocuous desuetude," O, the pity of it! A GREAT AWAKENING The Washington, D. C., Post which has heretofore been an ardent supporter of the administration is saying some plain things these days. In its issue of the 4th inst., it discusses the Peace Conference and the diplomatic victory of the Japanese and the diplomatic failure of the Italians in the following language: The process by which Japan has been induced to become a member of the league of nations in spite of the refusal to recognize her as an equal is strikingly disclosed by the statement of the Chinese delegates to the Paris peace conference. Japan is granted a strangle hold upon territory and commercial privileges that belong to her neighbor and the Chinese people in their weakness are left the privilege of voicing a vain protest. Japan bided her time and then proceeded to reap a harvest. This great nation had assigned to it the task of "policing the Far East." She did so and in addition to the huntsman's THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA programme has proceeded to keep the game in her own basket. The Post continues: Another secret treaty comes to light also, which bargained away China's territory and sovereign rights without her knowledge or consent. This secret treaty was made in Febuary and March, 1917, and all knowledge of it was withheld from China which entered the war as a faithful ally in August 1917 not knowing that Great Britain and France had already agreed to support the transfer to Japan of Germany's holdings in Shantung. It does not appear that Italy was a party to the treaty. The treaty requires Great Britain and France to stand by Japan in the peace conference and they have done so. It is being ascertained now that practically all of those European nations were "tarred with the same stick" and that when it was presumed that all virtue was on one side and that all the deviltry was on the other side, a fundamental blunder was made by the United States of America. The German Government has always been anxious to get the Allies around the peace table. The reason is now apparent. President Witson's Fourteen Points, to which all of the Allies subcribed is now beginning to look like a joke and the reading of its specific provisions is evidently evoking a smile of derision from those who had reluctantly agreed to those drastic provisions. The Post continues: Where is the "new order in Europe" and the "inflexible and impartial application of the fourteen points?" The Chinese statement is a withering indictment of the Paris conference as a body devoted to the creation of open covenants openly arrived at. First against Italy, and now against China, the American delegates have adopted a position that is incompatible with the spirit of America and repugnant to all idents of the "square deal." In one case the American delegation has taken the lead proposing to deprive a friendly nation of its territory, largely on the ground that the nation in question was involved in a secret and therefore illegitimate treaty. In the other case, the American delegation has not taken the lead but it has acquiesced in putting into effect a secret treaty which deprives another friendly nation of its territory. In both cases the representatives of the United States have gonar attard, entering into the auaries of another hemisphere and in one case at least actually presuming to apportion out territory to European nations according to a map made by the Americans. This is openly charging President Wilson and his associates with not giving China a "square deal." Has the American Government given the colored soldiers and their families and their friends in this country "a square deal?" You cannot treat one class of people wrong without ultimately treating another class of people the same way. Germany declared repeatedly that a secret agreement or treaty existed between Great Britain and Belgium. Does this account for the protests now being sent to the Peace Conference from that country with demands that the representatives from that patriotic country refuse to sign the peace treaty? The Post propounds a most interesting question when it asks: What authority was ever given by the people or Congress of the United States for these acts? What connection have these territorial quarrels with the plain duty of the United States to make peace with Germany following victory gained by the sheding of American blood for an American cause? This is a plea for an independent treaty of peace with Germany, regard less of the attitude of the Allies. It is even more emphatic when it says: It is impossible for patriotic Americans to view the proceedings at Paris with their daily disclosure of embarrassments, complications and growing resentments, without heartily wishing that the policy of steering clear of foreign entanglements had been rigidly followed by the executive in the conduct of the war and the peace adjustments. Nothing but resentment has been gained for Americans by the Flume controversy, and nothing but resentment and deep distrust can be expected to flow from the Chinese controversy. The confidence in and friendship for America, which had been built up in China by many years of fair dealing and sympathetic diplomacy, now bid fair to disappear in a single day. The Chinese people now discover that they need not expect America to befriend them. The secret bargains of great powers are stronger, apparently, than any principles which declare for a league of nations which will respect the territorial integrity of nations great and small. Great nations, apparently, are safe; but small or weak nations, those which cannot make war or break up leagues must not expect to have their territory respected. George Washington is dead, but his utterances of more than one hundred years ago read like prophecy, when he advised that this Government avoid entangling alliances and avoid being embroiled in the affairs of Europe. We have read for several years now the high purposes of this struggle. President Wilson went in the contest with collegiate theories uppermost and with an "army" of college professors and theorists at his elbow. He and they have been undecided. Writing plana is shown to be one thing and the putting of these plans, even after they have been accepted quite another. He and his associates will evidently come home disappointed and disgusted men. The Post sings "the song of the dying swan" when it says: Thus fade the bright and unsubstantial dreams of the equality of nations and mutual respect for the rights of all nations! The battle still goes to the strong and the race to the swift. The lion gets the lion's share and the jackal thrives when he carries favor with the mighty. In the very name of liberty for the very sake of preserving the world, a league is formed which has at its heart the seeds of death, because it denies truth, rewards the strong, robs the weak and blasphemes the spirit which it pretends to invoke How can any nation subscribe to a league which "guarantees" the territorial integrity of nations, in the face of what the Paris conference has just done to China and purposes to do to Italy? In dealing with the colored people of this country, what policy has been observed; Is it not one "which has at its heart the seeds of death, because it denies the truth, rewards the strong, robs the weak and blasphemes the spirit that it pretends to invoke?" We see or think we see in the Post's ringing condemnation of what is tram spiring on the other side, an awakening of the American conscience to the point of recognizing and practicing great principles and sending to the rear those "little men" who have been stalking in the places of great men, who have sought solitude until the storm of the wicked had overblown and the sunlight of righteousness and the championing of right principles are seen and heard again in this land. REV, DR, A, A, GALVIN SPEAKS PLAINLY. The Plea for Unification—Wants No Turning Around—Will Accept Other Churches. Danville, Va., May 4, 1919. To all the brethren of the Virginia Baptist State Convention—Greeting: Truly these are strange and perilous times! The peoples and governments of earth are left by the world's greatest war in a perturbed dissatisfied condition. This is largely true in state and smaller evidences of it can be easily seen in church. Amid these conditions we note some unprecedented, unexpected and undesirable twists and turns in deeds and doctrines. But, brothren, "don't let nobody turn you around" but keep on to Petersburg. Some of our brothren are offering "strange fire." It seems that they would have the water to flow up hill, but do not $b_0$ uneasy, it will not do so. They seem to want the clouds to sail backward, but fear not, this will not succeed. With God to help, we are going on, going on to Petersburg and that in the same old way. We realize that Petersburg is a historic city as well as a municipality of pastors and churches that are going to receive us through open doors that swing wide upon the golden hinges of Christian welcome. DR. GRAHAM'S POSITION And now, brethren, this is no time to think of "swapping horses in the middle of the stream." A few weeks ago my sentiment was expressed in toto by the Dr. W. F. Graham in The Planet. Be it remembered that our fathers in the Lord, fought, bled and some of them died in this progressive Baptist arena, for things which are truly worth while and in this struggle they proved themselves beyond the peradventure of a doubt, victors. Thus they set up for the denomination a standard and vouchsafed unto us a heritage which we are honor bound to keep untouched and untarnished until we meet those fallen heroes, with those who yet survive, upon the plains of eternal day. The men of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, wherever found are men of ideas and ideals, which are nowise foreign to those that have characterized manly men in all history. We will not swerve nor recede afiota from the principles of self determination, help help and racial development for which we fought in the battle of Lexington. And now if the brethren of the General Association or any other association desire our company as a convention, they are intelligent and know how to do it. THE CONSTITUTION THE GUIDE. Our constitution provides that any church that believes what we believe and will declare its belief may become a part of our convention. Now what more is necessary? But brethren, let us realize that we are responsible to God for the educational plant that we have planted on Seminary Hill and we must maintain it at any reasonable cost. We are not to try to force our burden upon the shoulders of others. Let us stand up and bear our burdens like men and all men of kindred elements will take sides with us and with things equal, they will join us. But let us go on to Petersburg. We have not the time to stop here to argue the case. Let us go to Potorsburg like we did years ago, in the good old days of Brethron Hayes, Bowling, Fox, Shorts, John Smith and others who now look upon us from the skies. This Potorsburg meeting must eclipse any convention meeting that we have had save that of the jubilee itself and if it rivals that, who cares? WANT A GREAT MEETING Let us go to Petersburg praying for a great meeting, having Jesus as the invisible guest at every session, to note the speaking, preaching, singing and all the offerings.

Cooper, a graduate of the School of Theology, Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va., class '16. Since his arrival he has been to us a Moses, Surely he has led us as it were out of Egyptian darkness, across the Red Sea of doubt and now we view the Promise Land of hope. Rev. Cooper adopted as his motto, "Work." He has lived up to this motto, doing whatever his hands find to do. His appeals to labor have placed us in a new cille. He has the Spirit of the Master, who was ever found working. He said, "I must work." He calls only workers. These words, a petted phrase of our pastor, "This is God's house. Its doors are hung on the hinges of welcome—welcome to all who desire to help the cause of righteousness or to be helped," has won for us many friends. IMPROVEMENTS. When we look at our building we can say, "Old things have passed away and all things made new." The walls have been renovated, now windows of a very choice design added, house painted outside and inside, water and additional lights installed, a baptistry added and individual com munion service has displaced the "everybody's cup." MEMBERSHIP AND ATTENDANCE. We are happy to say that within the last two years there has been more members added to our church, than in many years in the past. More than 33 per cent has been received.

The secret of his success lay in the fact that he urged sinners to accept Christ by the Gospel standard, "Repent, believe, and be baptized.

So simple and plain but forceful was his message that you could even hear the sinners say, "I never heard it this way. May our pastor live long, to point men to the Lamb of God. Our prayers are being answered, Our church was never in a better mood, the spirit of love and service is prevailing.

I believe I voice the sentiment of the public at large when I say no man has won his way into the heart of the people earlier than he. He touches every movement in the city for good. Recently a man was wanted at the wheel to pilot the Soldier Social Movement. Rev. Cooper was chosen as the man. He is unassuming in his manner but solid in his convictions. He is a lover of his race. Other than pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church and Director-General of the Soldier Social Center he holds the following offices: Secretary, Danville Branch N. A. A. C.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....6.00 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.00 SATURDAY.....MAY 10, 1919 DR. DU BOIS ATTACKS EMMETT J. SCOTT. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is back again in the United States of America and if we are to judge from some of the things that he has published in the May number of the Crisis, the truce between him and that distinguished southernner, Emmett J. Scott is at an end. He makes an attack upon him that tends to show that the divisional lines that were so marked before the outbreak of the war have again been made to appear in a more intensified form although it seemed that they had been obliterated. He charges Mr. Scott with having destroyed the prospect of a complete Negro history from the pen of that masterly historian, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois with a compilation of facts obtained by both of them. What else can his comment mean? Here it is: Most American Negroes do not realize that the imperative duty of the moment is to fix in history the status of our Negro troops. Already subtle influences are preparing a fatal attack. It is repeated openly among influential persons: "The black laborers did well—the black privates can fight—but the Negro officer is a failure." This is not true and the facts exist to disprove it, but they must be marshalled with historical vision and scientific accuracy. He continues: Sensing this some months ago, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People commissioned Dr. Du Bois to prepare a history and appropriated $2,000 toward the expense. Dr. Du Bois immediately sought $t_0 associate with him—not as subordinates, but on terms of full equality—a board of three or four editors and a large consulting board of colored men. It immediately developed that co-operation was impossible. A white man, Mr. F. P. Stockbridge, of New York, had already planned and was preparing a popular history and had secured the co-operation of Mr. Emmett Scott an. others. Neither he nor Mr. Scott wished to change their plans and neither would accept co-operation, except upon terms which we deemed impossible. Mr. C. G. Woodson, Editor of The Journ al of Negro History, refused to cooperate except as Editor-in-Chief. It is needless to ask if the above is true. Dr. Du Bois is an authority. But he states that Hon. Emmett J. Scott did not wish to change his plans. This assertion would seem to mean that with such an astute and accurate compiler of facts at his elbow so to speak, Mr. Scott turned away from him. If this is true and it is true for the reason that Dr. Du Bois says that it is true, what was the cause of such action? Why was it that Dr. Du Bois declined to co-operate with Mr. Scott and Mr. Scott declined to co-operate with Dr. Du Bois? Will the colored people in this country try never co-operate with each other? Will they forever show to the world that they are unable to act as a unit? It would seem so. Dr. Du Bois is disgusted. His language shows that for he says: Unity being thus plainly impossible, Dr. Du Bois disposed to drop the project as far as he was personally concerned and leave the work to others. The Executive Officers of the N. A. A. C. P., however, thought it best for Dr. Du Bois to proceed to France and look over the field especially with regard to a Pan-African Congress and the facts obtainable there concerning Negro troops. And again: The result of this trip is that we are convinced: 1. That the truth concerning Negroes in this war must be told impartially and entirely. No conscientious person will deny this. But he says further: 2. That no person in official position dare tell the whole truth. This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But it applies with sledge-hammer effect to the aspirations of the distinguished man of letters. He wanted a captaincy in the regular army and he gave as his reason for wanting it that he could find out certain things that would otherwise not be available to him. Of what use would it have been to either him or to the race if what he says is true? We emphasize it: "No person in an official position dared tell the whole truth." How could he have told it, had he been subject to the orders of the War Department? Mr. Scott holds no rank in the regular army and is not subject to the rules and regulations of the great war machine that has built up the caste system in this country. When he tenders his resignation as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, he is as free as the average citizen and he can open his own mouth as wide as he pleases. This is not true of a trooper in the regular army, who may have his pension allowance affected by his adverse action. Dr. Du Bois then virtually states that he will proceed with the work for he remarks: 3. That notwithstanding the unfortunate duplication of effort and multiplying of histories, it is the plain duty of the N. A. A. C. P. and The Crisis to compile and publish a complete history of "The Negro in the Revolution of the Twentieth Century." Such a history is, therefore, projected in three volumes, preceded by a brief forecast. The forecast will be issued as a supplement to the June Crisis. It will be a short but complete history of the Negro in the war. It will be followed this year by Volume I of the full history; Volumes II and III will appear in 1920 and 1921. Every reader of The Crisis is asked to help in the compilation of this history. Please write us immediately and let us know what co-operation we may expect. The war has ended on the other side of the Atlantic, but it seems to have "broken out" on this side, provided Hon. Emmett J. Scott sees fit to meet the issue in the arena of comment or in the forum of debate. Dr. Du Bois continues his attack upon Mr. Scott when he says in an open letter: The Negro world and you will bear us witness that The Crisis and its Editor have given you loyal and unselfish co-operation, even at the cost of suspicion and criticism. We have done this. First, because the war demanded and had a right to demand, unswerving loyalty and unity on the part of the nation and its constituent groups; and, Secondly, because we believed that you were doing all that was possible under very difficult circumstances. A visit to Europe has however, revealed to the Editor a state of affairs in regard to Negro troops which is simply astounding! Some of these facts we are publishing this month and others we shall reveal later. Meantime, we are with holding judgment in your case and simply asking you publicly three questions: 1. Did you know the treatment which black troops were receiving in France? 2. If you did Not know, why did you not find out? 3. If you Did know, what did you do about it? Hon. Emmett J. Scott can, but will he answer these questions? Dr. Du Bois has on his "fighting clothes." A blind man can almost see that. What is the meaning of these attacks? What is to be gained by this "war in Africa?" Has Hon. Emmett J. Scott been recruit to his trust? Dr. Du Bois intimates as much. If he has the evidence, let him produce it. If he is not sure of his ground, let him say so. We are free to admit that we have been puzzled relative to the silence that has pervaded the headquarters or the apartments of the Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. We wondered, if he had "been lost in the shuffle." Did he do all that he could to remedy these conditions? If he did not, he is justly subject to adverse criticism. If he did he should be the object of unstinted praise. His salary, we understand was one dollar per year and the continuance of his allowance as Secretary of Tuskegee Institute. It is a cheap man, who would have accepted the job at ten thousand dollars per year. He proved a most convenient buffer to save white men from personal annoyance and in his archives complaints evidently slept in "innocuous desuetude," O, the pity of it! A GREAT AWAKENING The Washington, D. C., Post which has heretofore been an ardent supporter of the administration is saying some plain things these days. In its issue of the 4th inst., it discusses the Peace Conference and the diplomatic victory of the Japanese and the diplomatic failure of the Italians in the following language: The process by which Japan has been induced to become a member of the league of nations in spite of the refusal to recognize her as an equal is strikingly disclosed by the statement of the Chinese delegates to the Paris peace conference. Japan is granted a strangle hold upon territory and commercial privileges that belong to her neighbor and the Chinese people in their weakness are left the privilege of voicing a vain protest. Japan bided her time and then proceeded to reap a harvest. This great nation had assigned to it the task of "policing the Far East." She did so and in addition to the hunsman's THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA programme has proceeded to keep the game in her own basket. The Post continues: Another secret treaty comes to light also, which bargained away China's territory and sovereign rights without her knowledge or consent. Th's secret treaty was made in Febuary and March, 1917, and all knowledge of it was withheld from China which entered the war as a faithful ally in August 1917 not knowing that Great Britain and France had already agreed to support the transfer to Japan of Germany's holdings in Shantung. It does not appear that Italy was a party to the treaty. The treaty requires Great Britain and France to stand by Japan in the peace conference and they have done so. It is being ascertained now that practically all of those European nations were "tarred with the same stick" and that when it was presumed that all virtue was on one side and that all the devilry was on the other side, a fundamental blunder was made by the United States of America. The German Government has always been anxious to get the Allies around the peace table. The reason is now apparent. President Witson's Fourteen Points, to which all of the Allies sub-scribed is now beginning to look like a joke and the reading of its specific provisions is evidently evoking a smile of derision from those who had reluctantly agreed to those drastic provisions. The Post continues: Where is the "new order in Europe" and the "inflexible and impartial application of the fourteen points?" The Chinese statement is a withering indictment of the Paris conference as a body devoted to the creation of open covenants openly arrived at. First against Italy, and now against China, the American delegates have adopted a position that is incompatible with the spirit of America and repugnant to all ideas of the "square deal." In one case the American delegation has taken the lead proposing to deprive a friendly nation of its territory, largely on the ground that the nation in question was involved in a secret and therefore illegitimate treaty. In the other case, the American delegation has not taken the lead but it has acquiesced in putting into effect a secret treaty which deprives another friendly nation of its territory. In both cases the representatives of the United States have gone far ahead, entering into the aunts of another hemisphere and in one case at least actually presuming to apportion out territory to European nations according to a map made by the Americans. This is openly charging President Wilson and his associates with not giving China a "square deal." Has the American Government given the colored soldiers and their families and their friends in this country "a square deal?" You cannot treat one class of people wrong without ultimately treating another class of people the same way. Germany declared repeatedly that a secret agreement or treaty existed between Great Britain and Belgium. Does this account for the protests now being sent to the Peace Conference from that country with demands that the representatives from that patriotic country refuse to sign the peace treaty? The Post propounds a most interesting question when it asks: What authority was ever given by the people or Congress of the United States for these acts? What connection have these territorial quarrels with the plain duty of the United States to make peace with Germany following victory gained by the shedding of American blood for an American cause? This is a plea for an independent treaty of peace with Germany, regard less of the attitude of the Allies. It is even more emphatic when it says: It is impossible for patriotic Americans to view the proceedings at Paris with their daily disclosure of embarrassments, complications and growing resentments without heartily wishing that the policy of steering clear of foreign entanglements had been rigidly followed by the executive in the conduct of the war and the peace adjustments. Nothing but resentment has been gained for Americans by the Flume controversy, and nothing but resentment and deep distrust can be expected to flow from the Chinese controversy. The confidence in and friendship for America, which had been built up in China by many years of fair dealing and sympathetic diplomacy, now bid fair to disappear in a single day. The Chinese people now discover that they need not expect America to befriend them. The secret bargains of great powers are stronger, apparently, than any principles which declare for a league of nations which will respect the territorial integrity of nations great and small. Great nations, apparently, are safe; but small or weak nations, those which cannot make war or break up leagues must not expect to have their territory respected. George Washington is dead, but his utterances of more than one hundred years ago read like prophecy, when he advised that this Government avoid entangling alliances and avoid being embroiled in the affairs of Europe. We have read for several years now the high purposes of this struggle. President Wilson wont in the contest with collegiate theories uppermost and with an "army" of college professors and theorists at his elbow. He and they have been undecided. Writing plana is shown to be one thing and the putting of these plans, even after they have been accepted quite another. He and his associates will evidently come home disappointed and disgusted men. The Post sings "the song of the dying swan" when it says: Thus fade the height and unsubstantial dregs of the equality of nations and mutual respect for the rights of all nations! The battle still goes to the strong and the race to the swift. The Lion gets the Lion's share and the jackal thrives when he curries favor with the mighty. In the very name of liberty for the very sake of preserving the world, a league is formed which has at its heart the seeds of death, because it denies truth, rewards the strong, robs the weak and blasphemes the spirit which it pretends to invoke. How can any nation subscribe to a league which "guarantees" the territorial integrity of nations, in the face of what the Paris conference has just done to China and purposes to do to Italy? In dealing with the colored people of this country, what policy has been observed; Is it not one "which has at its heart the seeds of death, because it denies the truth, rewards the strong, robs the weak and blasphemes the spirit that it pretends to invoke?" We see or think we see in the Post's ringing condemnation of what is tram spiring on the other side, an awakening of the American conscience to the point of recognizing and practicing great principles and sending to the rear those "little men" who have been stalking in the places of great men, who have sought solitude until the storm of the wicked had overblown and the sunlight of righteousness and the championing of right principles are seen and heard again in this land.

Concessions Forced From China by Tokyo," Under Demand of Secrecy, Later Agreed to by Wntente, May Not Be Sanctioned by America. (By Justin MeGrath.) Washington, April 22.— It now ap- poars Mat the secret treaty between Great Britain and iuly “by whieh Italy was guaranteed possession of the Dalmatian coast was not the only secret arrangement entered into by the allies incontravention of Presi- dent Wilson's fourteen points. ‘There was also a secret understand ing between Great Britain and Mrance and Japan by which (he British and French govermnonts were committed to recognition of the legitimacy — of Japan's eltim (o possession of — (he German Pacific Islands north of the equator and also the concessions whieh Japan demanded of China in’ return for Japan's evacuation of the Shant- ume Penninsula taken over by Japan early in the war, CAME AS SURPRISE ‘TO AMERICANS. Reports from Paris state that the revelation of the secret arrangement hetween Great Britain and Franco and Japan relative to Japan's claim to the Pacific Islands and valuable righis in Shanlung eame as a come plete surprise to President Wilson and the American high commission, I placo credit in these reports be cause T recall thal when owas in Paris tho attitude of the Amertean high commission was that China was Justitfied in resisting Japan's de- mands to rights and concessions in Shantung which, it was held, would give Japan practical control of that rich province. ‘The Chinese contention was that the treaty under whieh the rights Frere conceded and the concessions made to Japan was signed by China under compulsion. ‘The Chinese assert ed that they wero given the alternative either of signing the treaty dffered or having Japan declare fis Dosession of Shantung permanent. WAS NOT 'TO TRL OF COMPULSION Moreover, it was declared by tho Chinese that one of tho conditions imposed on China by Japan was. that China was not to convey any infor: mation to Huropean allies of the cooreion used by Japan (0 compel acceptance of its demands. ‘The American representatives, 1 know, put faith in these represent: Gions ‘of the Chinese. ‘The attitude in January was one of resistance — to Japan's claims, ‘They were. strongly Inclined to the view that the treaty Hetween Uke two Oriental — nations dealing with the German Pacific Is: lands and rights and concessions in Shantung should not be permitted to hecome operative. So, as the reports from Parks say, ii must have been a great surprise to them {o Tearn that Japan in February 1917 had brought her claims to the attention of both the British — and Freneh governments and had had them indorsed, It will be interesting and import- ant to wateh the future attitude of the American commission toward these claims of Japan to the German Holding in the Par Mast. If they ae cede to them Ameriea will lose some of the great prestige it now has in China, And if they refuse to sub- serthe to them Japan of course, will consider that she has a new griev- ance, NOT IN ACCORD WITH PLATFORM The treaty of London recognizing aly's right to elaim the eastern coast of the Adriatic was not reconeil able with number one of President Wilson's fourteen points, which — de- clared in favor of open covenants of peace, “without private international understandings.” And the secret. agreement which it is now made known has existed for two years between Great Britain and Franco and Japan is in clear viola- tion of numbers five and fourteen of the President's fourteen points, num ber five declaring that there must. be an impartial adjustment of all_colon- ial claims based upon tho principlo that the peoples concerned have equal weight with the interest of the gov- ernment and number fourteen declar- ing in favor of the preservation of the territorial integrity of large and small states alike. Tam informed on very excellent au thority that President Wilson was not without knowledge of the treaty of London at. the tima he delivered his message containing the famous fourteen points. But no difficulty was expected over the London treaty, be cause the collapse of Austria render ed it unligely that there would — he troublesome opposition to Ttaly's ae- quisition of the eastern Adriatic const. At that time tho issue be- tween Tlaly and the Jugo-Slavs over Finme had not been raised. Plants may be obtained from C. Maward pps, 225 Plainfiold venta Plainfield, N.
