THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library SEND $50,000,00 TO MONROE TROTTER, WHO IS NOW IN FRANCE. (By Ida B. Well-Barnett.) Editor Richard Fletcher I have just read your editorial on William Monroe Trotter and write to say that your appreciation is not strong enough. Trotter is over there doing work for the race. As you truly say he should have $50,000 where he probably has no 50,000 cents and I write to urge you and other newspapers to keep after the people in order that they may give the money to support him while he is there fighting their battle. Ms. James T. Neal 99th St. N. W., Washington, D. C. secretary of the National Equal Rights League will gladly receive and acknowledge gifts sent to him for that purpose. TROTTER HAS SUCCEEDED. Now that Trotter has succeeded in reaching Paris in spite of obstacles placed in his pathway and has also succeeded in getting the Associated Press to send out his appeal to President Wilson the entire vice of this country ought to hold up his hands and see to it that he gets money enough to stay there and tight the race's battles. Every newspaper editor in the country ought to once make a unified demand and appeal. Every minister of the people who raises thousands of dollars for polls in churches ought to urge his people to raise money and send it to Mr. Neil in order that he may put it in Trotter's hands. CHARGES COLORED FOOLS ARE DIVIDED. Herefore we have been saying that it is the opposition of the white people that has kept us from being heard. It will be our own fault now if Trottier is not supplied with sufficient money to enable aim to stay in Paris and fight our battle. Let us for once in our lives make a united showing and let this $50,000 be raised. The Jews in this country raised thousands of dollars and sent delegation abroad. The Irish did the same and the women's organizations. The national Equal Rights League elected a delegation to go and immediately newspapers and the Negro ministers began to fight the proposition saying they did not think it would do any good all of which helped to make it impossible for us to secure passports. Negroes themselves were divided on the subject and fighting the proposition and this gave the State Department splendid reason for refusing passports. PRAISING TROTTER But thanks be to God who give us the victory, William Monroe Troter the one absolutely unselfish race leader we have before us today succeed in reaching Paris and getting the ear of the world. I most earnestly appeal in the name of the Race which is suffering today that we hold up his hands and enable him to fight our battles. It is not enough to say he ought to have $50,000. Get after our people with the kash and point out to them how important it is for their own benefit that they should send Trotter money and show them that the fault will be theirs if Trotter's mission fails or fall short. "The God's help those who help themselves" and they don't help any body else. —I. B. W. BARNETT. MARRIAGE RECEPTION Mr. James H.

He gave sound advice to the students and urged them to practice thrift and enrage in business. He gave as his reason the financial progress of the colored people of the country and the necessity for the handling of the produce of the farming classes. He showed that the colored people operated 42,279,510 acres of farm land valued at ($1,141,792,56) one billion, one hundred and forty one million, seven hundred and ninety-two thousand, five hundred and twenty-six dollars.

In referring to the distinguished retiring school official, he said: "It is with regret that I, in conjunction with my associates and friends have heard of the retirement of that great and good man, that superb instructor and scholar, Dr. J. A. C. Chandler. He came to us under peculiar conditions, but he won the hearts of those who doubted his ability to overcome the difficulties with which he had to contend. He is a gentleman of transcendent ability and he has given a practical demonstration that true merit will find its reward. His loss to the public school system of this city is a calamity that is lifted from the category of a disaster by the election of that veteran educator. Assistant (Continued on fifth page) When Mr. B. L. Jackson, of 733 North Fourth Street returned home on Tuesday night he was much surprised to find his home, a scene of much joy, for titty or more guest were there to celebrate his birthday.

WON'T SIGN, IS FINAL MESSAGE Departing German Envoy Tells "The Sue" Nation Will Accept Allied Occupation." Paris, June 16. "We will not sit in. We cannot sign our death warrant. We are quite ready for occupation." One of the most important of the German plenipotentiaries, just before his departure from Versailles, made this statement to the Sun. He said he was interpreting exactly the feeling of the other members of the delegation and of the Government in its present state of mind. This attitude presents the state of mind of every German on the eve of his return to Weimar. Bavon von Lorenz received the allied corrections in the treaty a few minutes before dinner and although he had no time to examine the document the nature of its contents was well understood and the dinner table buzzed with commentaries. The general impression was that the clauses which condemn Germany to a half century of servitude had not been done away with in the treaty and that the treaty had undergone little if any change. Its spirit remains the same with only a few of the sharp edges broken off. Everybody leaving Versailles, be heaves the assembly at Weimar will reflect the treaty. There will be some, Germans left at Versailles tomorrow. Baron van Berner with his staff of secretaries and a few journalists remain. All the delegates and the most important members of the party left this evening and are expected to arrive in Wexhair Tuesday evening. On Wednesday there will be a meeting of the great council, at which Count van Trockelrad-Rantzen will explain the views of the delegates. None of the latter expect to return to Versailles.

THE VIRGINIA WAR HISTORY COMMISSION RECEIVING MUCH DATA. The Virginia War History Commission despite the hot weather which is making it difficult to get large attendance at its meetings, is still assembling regularly each week and is making considerable headway in the gathering of material for the volumes that will give the story of the State's participation in the great war. The latest and perhaps the most notable paper to be added to the collection is the story of the 80th Division, the Blue Ridge men from the mountains of Va. and W. Va., and W. Pennsylvania. This has just been contributed by Lt.-Col. Jennings C. Wise the historian of the division and a valued member of the commission. Col. Wise in his paper shows the historic fitness of this grouping. He says: "The forefathers of these men of Virginia and Pennsylvania fought side by side in the Continental Army of the Revolution and later together had borne the brunt of the war of 1812." He traces their traditional associations and says: "Indeed the traditions of Fort Duquesne, Yorktown, the Shemandoah and Petersburg were a common heritage to the men of the division, no less than the traditions of the early period of American colonization when the hills and valleys of the Blue Ridge section were seized from the savage by the sturdy pioneers of Virginia and Pennsylvania." It is not along the story of the units that is coming to the commission. Returning soldiers are taking great interest in the individual questionnaires which have been prepared by the commission and sent to camps and counties. While it is hard to be anticipated that all individual records must be obtained, it is reasonable to assume from the progress up to date that Virginia's roster of combatants in the great war will contain in addition to complete list of all those who volunteered or were drafted, items of personal interest and records of personal service from a goodly percentage of them. Efforts are now making to create a greater interest in the cities and counties for in the final analysis it will be in the hands of the local commissioners to provide such of the history as is not contained in the papers of the historians of the fighting units. With this thought in view a publicity committee has been created and it will meet some day next week to decide upon a comprehensive plan of publicity through news letters directly issued by the commissary through newspapers and by lecturers.

THE VIRGINIA WAR HISTORY COMMISSION RECEIVING MUCH DATA, The Virginia War History Commis- sion despite the hot weather which is hiaking it difficult to get large atten- dance at its meetings, is still assembl ing regularly cach week and is mak ing considerable headway in the gath ering of material for the volumes that will give the story of the State's ‘Participation in the great war. | The latest and perhaps the most ‘otable paper to be added to tho col lection is the story of the 80th Divis- fon, the Blue Ridge men from the mountains of Va. and W. Va, and W. Pennsylvanian. This has Just been con tributed by Lt.-Col. Jennings C. Wise tho historian of the division and a valued member of the commission. Col. Wise in his paper shows tho his toric fitness of this grouping. He says: “The forefathers of these men of Vir ginia and Pennsylvania fought side by side In the Continental Army of the Revolution and later together had borne the brant of the war of 1812.” He traces their traditional asnociat- tions and says: “Indeed the tradit- fons of Fort Duquesne, Yorktown, the Shenandoah and Petersburg were a common heritage to the men of the division, no less than the traditions of the carly period of American col- onization when the hills and valloys of the Blue Ridge section were seized from the savage by the aturdy pioneers of Virginia and Pennsyl- vania.” It is not along the story of the units that is coming to tho com- mission. Returning soldiers aro tak ing great interest in tho individual questionnaires which have been pre Pared by the commission and sent to camps and counties. While it is hard ly to be anticipated that all individ nal records rule be obtained, it is reas onable to assume from the progress up to date that Virginia's roster of combatants in the great war will con {ain in addition to complete list of all those who volunteered or were Aratied, itoms of personal interest and records of Personal service from a goodly percentage of them. Kfforls are now making to create a greater interest in the cities and countios for in the final analysis It will be in the hands of the local com missioners to provide such of the his lory as is not contained in the pap ers of the historians of the fighting units, With this thought In view a publicity committes has been eroated and it, will mect some day noxt week to decide upon a comprehensive plan of publicity through news Tetters dl- rectly issued by the commission through newspapers and by lecturas, ¢.

Greensboro, N. C., May 30, 1919.—With the award of diplomas to the six graduates for degrees and the issuance of proficiency certificates to three other members of the graduating class the Commencement Exercises of the Agricultural and Technical College were brought to a close here yesterday thus ending one of the most peculiar, pleasant and profitable years in the eventful history of the institution. The address of the day was made by Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court of Washington, D. C. one of the most conspirious exponents of the new era in the life of the American Negro. The exercises opened at 2 o'clock and the line marched in singing "Ourward Christian Soldiers." After prayer by Rev. W. H. Carter the religious part of the opening ceremonies was continued by Scripture reading and prayer by Rev. J. Sarrlett of Providence Baptist Church, city and the singing of a favored Negro spiritual "Ain' Goin' to Study War No More." This selection was most feelingly rendered by the student-body and much enjoyed by the audience. Following came the demonstrations by Jerry Green of the Mechanical Department and J. H. Tucker of Agricultural Department—the first making an electrical lamp and the latter dealing with incubation. The Academic Department was represented by J. L. Bolden who in very chaste English discussed "The Value of Time." Efficiency and Modern Times." He concluded "demand full and careful utilization of every moment of our time." The real feature of the evening, the address of Judge Torrell came next. Niveting the attention of his auditors to his theme for the evening by telling a peculiarly fitting anecdote, the Judge proceeded to discuss "Our Prob leon." In a manner characteristically his own, the Judge related the history of the Negroes' being brought to this country against his will, told the story of the Negroes' more than 250 years of involuntary servitude under the system of slavery, spoke at length of the Negroes accomplishments in making the step from the auction block to the school house—from slavery to education and proved that the Negroes are today responding eagerly to every one of their educational opportunities. In conclusion the Judge urged the members of the graduating class to get as close to the white peo ple as possible' Said he "No country in the history of the world has done as much for the under man as the white people have done for the Negro." "Do not rush to the crowded cities of the North, be wise and re main in the Negro's home—the South." In representing the speaker the speaker of the occasion, the President as was his custom during the exercises of the week, took occasion to give a resume of the college activities during the year and to comment upon the spirit of helpfulness and loyalty of the teachers and students during the most trying periods of the school's history through which he has led it during the war for world democracy. More than 200 students and teachers served in the war and four made the supreme sacrifice. GRADUATES Bachelor of Science in Agricultural. Willie Earl Butler, Elizabeth City, N.

Clyde Turner, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Greensboro. Taking as a text "where for, O King Agrippa, I have not been disobedient to the Heavenly Vision" and treating the same under three dll visions. (a) The importance of having a vision; (b.) The importance of having a right vision; (c) The importance of being obedient to the vision, Dr. Turner delivered a most excellent and eloquent sermon. Monday night May 26 was the occasion for the annual exercises of the Agricultural and Mechanical Literary Societies, Mr. C. Spaulding Vice President of the North Carolina Mutual and Life Insurance Company, was the speaker for the evening and he delivered a very practical, helpful and excellent address upon the subject "The World Calling For Men." Mr. Spaulding is a living example of the possibilities of the principles to which he called attention of the young men stepping out into life and the general knowledge of this fact made his well-chosen words take firm hold upon his hearers. Class Day Exercises were held in the College Auditorium. Tuesday after noon, May 27, at 3 P. M. A very good program was rendered. At 8:30 o'clock the Quarta-Contenital Exercises were held in the auditorium. The opening address was delivered by S. D. McRae. President of the Alumni Association. The principal speaker of the evening was Prof. G. A. Edwards class of 1901. President of Kittrell College, J.柱石; 14 of the 20 classes that have graduated from the college responded, this being also the occasion lon for the alumni reunion. On Wednesday evening, May 28. The Industrial Drama, written and staged by the Mrs. James B' Dudley was rendered in the chapel to the satisfaction of a large audience. That the South is "The Land of Opportunity" was impressively brought out. THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION WILL BUILD THE SEMINARY. THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION WILL BUILD THE SEMINARY. Editor National Baptist Voice: Dear Brother Crenshaw—I shall have many occasions to address the brethren and sisters of the Nat. Baptist Convention. And as The Voice is the official organ, I should be glad if the editors of all the other papers would allow me to write to you, and they tranfer such communications to their own columns. This is in no sense to be construed as ignoring or under valuing their service" But for the present an effort to save time and labor at this end of the line. Later we can doubtless do better. THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. After delaying as long as we had any encouragement to hope that we as a commission might be of any ser vice to all of the brethren in promoting harmony and reunion among the colored Baptists of the United States, the Southern Baptist Convention has directed the Commission On The Theological Seminary to proceed with the enterprise as at first contemplated. And they have chosen me for the important and delightful task of seeing that the seminary shall be built. I am planning to devote all my time and energy with whatever of talent I may have, and whatever help I may be able to enlist to this noble task. Have notified our church, and am to be released July first for this great undertaking. We are to work in harmony and cooperation with the National Baptist Convention' I have so notified Dr. E. C. Morris, the president and he has furnished me with the names of the commission from your body. THE LOCATION. In the Memphis Peace Agreement, it was agreed by all parties that the question of location should be reopened. This will be done when the two commissions shall meet, which will be as soon as satisfactory arrangements can be perfected. And due notice will be published. Brethren having any communication to present on the subject might send to me at 1808 Hickory Street, Dallas, Texas. I am regarded as the secretary of the joint commission. And after full conference the meeting will be called. FRATERNAL RELATIONS. While we have found ourselves un able to co-operate with the National Baptist Convention (Unincorporated) we are not to. In any way, antagonize them in their own work. We recognize their inanable right, as Baptists, (to pursue such plans as they prefer. They must be allowed all the freedom we ask, under the New Testament, for ourselves. But the Southern Baptist Convention finds it self unable to co-operate with them along the lines they have adopted. We are unalterably committed to the deocrine of "Denominational Control" of all institutions and measures which the denomination establishes and sup ports. Our people are unwilling to place the Lord's money in the hands of irresponsible men who might do with it what it was not given for. But that must never be interpreted as unfriendly in the people who may not adopt our ideas. Baptists of all people have stood for the utmost freedom of the individual. We will not violate that now. But at the same time we shall not allow that such freedom entitles any one to trespass upon our rights. It is as much our duty to protect the rights of our own people as it is to defend the rights of others. We must always be brotherly. So while we are yet unable to get to gether, we will not forget to pray for each other. Ask all the people to pray for the success of this undertaking. Further announcements will be made as we get further along. O. L. HAILEY. OUR RETURNED NEGRO SOLDIERS Richmond welcomes her returned Negro soldiers today because they have fulfilled the confident expectations of the city. Prior to the war, when foolish German agents were seeking to arouse discontent among the Negroes, all thoughtful men laughed at the propaganda. We remembered how the fathers and grandfathers of these same Negroes behaved during the war between the states. We remembered that General Lee was willing to accept them as soldiers in his army. We knew they would keep the faith. And when a little later, the call to arms came there was never the slightest question as to the loyalty of the Negroes. Nothing in the war was more remarkable than the manner in which Negroes were expect'd speedily to be called to the colors would come in the late afternoons to be drilled by volunteer officers on the campus of Richmond College. Equally impressive was the support by the Negroes of the war work behind the lines; where their inunds failed, their hands were still willing. In the Red Cross and in all like activities, the Negroes did their duty. The Virginia heroes are the aristocrats of their race. They have been longest in America. They are the most intelligent. They are the most lawabiding. They have of course their hard element as the whites have and they combat that element, but they surely are not to be judged by it. Understanding and understood, they deserve as they sought to win their respect of all right thinking men. Of White as splendid, it would be if we might make the return of our Negro soldiers the occasion for a THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA movement that would give them better living conditions—a sure foundation for health and industrial progress. —Richmond, Va.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months......60 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....JUNE 21, 1919 This is an age of little men with little minds. Those people, who want to die can do so by worrying themselves. Some colored folks live easy and they die the same way. This is the hoy-day for demagogues and gay deceivers. Justice is having a hard time in this country at the present time, even in the courts of law. You cannot get into Heaven by the back gate, although some of these people here&bouts seem to think so. To understand this world, get married; to ponder over past experiences and wish for a future Eden, get a divorce. We went to war and expended forty thousand million dollars. What the people want to know is what have we to show for it? President Woodrow Wilson is coming home to appeal to the American people and the American people are waiting for him to come. Most of them want him to stay here. The Allies propose to invade Germany or rather that portion of it adjacent to the devastated countries There will be no mob, but there will be much rioting and the question up permiss is, who will pay the bill? The United States Senate insists that it should have the right to know about the treaty now being negotiated in Paris, even if this knowledge shall come in a secret session of that body. Mr. Wilson, who was an open advocate of open consideration of all diplomatic agreements is emphatically refusing to grant the request and "there ye are." The American Federation of Labor adopted a resolution in favor of higher pay for teachers; post-office and navy yard employees. The trouble about the whole business is that the American Federation. of Labor does not employ any of these classes of people. If it did it probably would not be so vociferous about demanding the payment of more money to these classes of people. Still there is little doubt, but what these people should receive more money and "there are others." We have received a copy of the "history of the American Negro in the great World War" by that master of oratory and diction W. Allison Sweeney. It is profusely illustrated and not only tells of the trial and tribulations of the colored men who saw service but it portrays what our people have done and accomplished in other conflicts. The book is handsomely bound and will make a most interesting and valuable addition to any person's library. We congratulate the publishers as well as the author upon this valuable addition to current literature and we bespeak for both a most laudable success. It may be obtained by addressing the author at 3328 South Park avenue Chicago, Ill. This work is the most powerful plea for the betterment of the condition of our people in this country and fair play for the American citizen of color that we have yet read. Historian Sweeney has done the race a signal service by the giving of this contribution to the public. The Library edition should be in every thoughtful man's home. Get other histories if you will but get the Sweeney history also. MME, BARNETT'S DECLARATION Madame Ida Wells Barnett means well, but in some instances she injures the very cause that she espouses by her over-zealousness, unattended with sound judgment. When a journal urges that William Monroe Trotter be backed with fifty thousand dollars and declares that the colored people in this country should raise the amount she declares that this is not strong enough. Still, she comes forward with the same proposition, not realizing that her backing placed in the same scale "is not strong enough" either. What is the need of discussing what colored folks have done against the National Equal Rights League? This weakens the League. The thing to do is to tell what the colored folks have done for it. Colored folks have been opposing in a greater or lesser degree every movement for their fundamental benefit and those who do the most of this opposing are of the Ida B. Wells standing in the community and we could well include ourselves also. Mrs. Barnett declares that he Negro ministers began to fight the movement instead of saying that some of the Negro ministers fought it, for as a matter of fact, some of the most powerful and influential supporter of the National Equal Rights League are "gentlemen of the cloth." It is becoming popular these days to attack the colored clergy and some of them are largely responsible for this attitude. Still some of the greatest leaders we have had have come from the ministers of the gospel. God has removed many of them who have opposed racial interests and He will remove many more. William Monroe Trotter is in the well in Paris and we are expected to pull him out over here by sending him financial assistance. Money is needed and "should be sent to him. He has made a most remarkable fight. He is plucky and true to the core. He is not a "trimmer." He has not accepted compromising appointments and he has not sought official honors. Scolding and criticizing are not in order now, this is no time to anger either friends or enemies. Help is needed and William Monroe Trotter needs this help. Racial organizations and religious bodies should send money to William Monroe Trotter and they should see that William Monroe Trotter himself gets this help. We are proud of this Bostonian. He may have made his mistakes, but he is not making any mistakes now. He is succeeding in doing just what we believe should have been done by an organized colored commission in Paris. With the lights before us and speaking off hand, it seems to us that William Monroe Trotter has outstripped in service to the race every leader, who has succeeded in going abroad. Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett means well, but for God's sake find a more practical way of showing it. Make friends with our opposers and our advocates and with a united front let us join in raising money to send to William Monroe Trotter in Paris, before his location is ascertained and our natural enemies find a way to deport him. Our hat is off to William Monroe Trotter in Paris. A REMARKABLE INVITATION. The action of the American Federation of Labor in deciding to admit colored men to all trade unions is an exhibition of farsightedness that tends to show that master-minds are in control of this great organization, that they see and understand that "it is a condition and not a theory that confronts us." The greatest menace to organized labor as opposed to organized capital is the black multitude that entered the industrial plants of the country and demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that they could execute and master the tasks assigned to the respective members thereof. These people came from the South land, where they had shown their fidelity to the best elements in that sunny land. But it was organized capital and not organized labor that gave to black labor the position that it now occupies. Will the colored men accept the invitation and join the white labor unions or will they stand out as independent units under their own leaders and from their respective platforms deal directly with the money interests of the country? On this decision will depend the fate of the white laboring interests of America, as represented by the American Federation of Labor. It is also an interesting question as to whether the American Federation of Labor can hold in leash its own membership should the invitation be generally accepted by the col THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ored men of this country. We see or think we see a changed condition of affairs, which must necessarily benefit the colored laboring elements of America. We should not cautiously and wisely realizing that at last has come to pass a practical demonstration of the biblical declaration. "Lo, the stone that the builders rejected is about to become the head of the corner." WILL GERMANY SIGN2 The world is sighing for peace, but those gathered around the Peace Table at Paris are risking war. It will not be a conflict such as has just been ended but it is liable to be a revolutionary war, where blind fury and irresponsible mobs will succeed the organized military autocracy of the past that has marshalled armies and decided the fate of men. The terms slightly changed and amended and sent to Germany are said to be impossible of acceptance by that nation upon the basis of President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, that the Allies' representatives are dealing with the present German Government which has overthrown the old German military autocracy just as though that autocracy still held the reins of government and were dictating peace with the Allies It looks very much as though there is much truth in this declaration. President Wilson is in a most embarrassing situation. He has declared officially that the war is at an end and Germany and her allies have been equally as emphatic in declaring that they will not and cannot fight any more, while the army that the United States of America sent across the seas is clamoring to come home and they are coming. Can Germany he forced to sign the peace terms at the point of the bayonet so to speak and if she signs under coercion, will she live up to terms forced from her at the point of a revolver? These questions are troubling the statesmen of Europe and those in this country. It is evident that the United States Senate will demand immediate peace with the German nation and the settlement of minor affairs afterwards. The League of Nations is now turning out to be only a league of some nations and not a league of all nations. Shall we have peace now or shall we again begin the outward movement sending millions of our sons again to the bloodstained fields of France to engage in the subjugation of the Teutonic nation? It should not be forgotten that the Allies are bank rupt. Only America can furnish the money necessary to continue a long campaign of occupation. At the present time no great states man has appeared to lead the nations of the world out of this bog of financial distress. There are twenty-three nations represented in Paris and it is openly asserted that only four nations are now dictating and framing the peace document, that will not only bind Germany, but which must be accepted by all of the world. In this connection the following cable from abroad may be read with interest: Loadon, June 16.—The peace terms presented to Germany today are the final reply of the Allies. Andrew Bonar Law, Government spokesman in the House of Commons, declared in opening the Victory Loan campaign at the Guildhall today. The speaker said he hoped earnestly the Germans would sign the terms. "It is for them to choose within five days." Mr. Bonar Law added. "They must sign or the armistice is at an end. There must be a just peace but a just peace must be a stern peace." The speaker said that the chief of the British staff had declared twenty three different wars were now going on and added: "It is not all over. It is quite possible by want of wisdom, by absence of restraint, by disunion among the Allies and by want of unity at home to lose, not the victory but the full force of the victory which has been bought, so dearly." It is contended that the full force of the victory has been already lost. Just how much more will be sacrificed when the smaller nations realize that they are not being compensated for their frightful losses either in land or money, but must take up the burden of government anew, with added duties and responsibilities is an interesting question. The gaunt wolf of famine may lead to a bloody internal revolution, the like of which has not been seen since the foundation of the world. THE GAZETTE AND FREE PUBLIC LICATION. The Cleveland, O., Gazette in its issue of the 14th inst., says: Our papers are publishing gratis entirely too much "paid matter" and ought to stop it, especially in view of the greatly increased cost of every thing that enters into the printing and publishing business. This week The Gazette received a long statement with numerous signers in be half of Assist. Supt. Roscoe C. Bruce of Washington, D. C., which we have Mme Rose's Hy-Quality HAIR GROWER A matchless Scalp Filler Produces Positive Results FOR 50¢ FURNISHED AT HAMPTON'S LAWRENCE NEW YORK CITY INCUBUS Mme Rose's HY-QUALITY TOILET PREPAPATIONS 2298 7th AVE. NEW YORK Mme Rose's HY-QUALITY FACE POWDER Mme Rose's HY-QUALITY FACE POWDER THE MASSIVE CROSSING OF THE AMERICAN flag, held by a large crowd, was a significant event in the history of the United States. The crowd was gathered in a wide street, with many people holding the flag and others carrying banners. The event was likely a celebration of a national holiday or a significant event in the city. THE MASSIVE CIVIL REVOLUTION Courtesy News-Leader refused to publish unless it is paid for. Prof. Bruce is abundantly able to do so, too. Certainly he is far more able to pay for its publication than our papers are to stand the cost of the same. This is equally true of much of the "copy" to the race press by See Shillady of the N. A. A. C. P., the official publication of which the Crisis does not even "exchange" with most of our papers. And much of that publication's contents each month, is a "rechash" called from race papers. "Put on the brakes" confreres, and "jam them down hard." You, too "need the money" a la Duiliois (and that captaincy in the Intelligence Bureau of the War Department.) Who can say that Editor H. C. Smith is not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Especially in the case of Assistant Roscoe C. Bruce is this true. We plead guilty to having permitted the use of our columns in a matter that concerns primarily and almost exclusively the District of Columbia, but we shall be more particular in the future. Colored men, standing high in their respective communities are usually the ones to take advantage of the poor newspaper men, be believing that their influence will more than compensate for the service rendered. This is all a mistake. Most of our public men have been made, so to speak by the boosting that they have received in the columns of race journals. The Shilladay communications may lay claim to being of public interest in that the subject matter is intended to benefit the colored people of the country. As a matter of fact its primary purpose seems to keep in the front the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the New York Crisis as Editor Smith says, the latter does not exchange with many colored journals unless the subscription COLORED TROOPS PASSING FIRST AND BROAD STREETS price or a part thereof is paid for in cash. Be that as it may, both the Crisis and the Association in question are doing a great work for the colored people of the country and we cannot find it in our heart to class either in the category of the class of people and organizations that are "dead-bearing their way" in public favor. For one, we shall be more careful in the future for Editor Smith has sounded a warning that the necessities of the present day justify. THOUSANDS GREET RETURNING SOLDIERS. Continued from first page) decorated with flags the sight was in spiring. FLAGS PLYING. Flags had been strung across the streets too and all of the arrangements were complete by Saturday morning. Then came bad news. The contingent of troops, numbering about 800 and composed of the Third Veterinary Hospital Unit, Nos. 3, 5, 19, and 20 on board the Pocabon's that had left Newport News, Va., be between the hours of three and four o'clock that morning had got stuck on a sand-bar in the neighborhood of City Point and instead of arriving here at 11 o'clock as scheduled, they did not reach the Old Dominion wharf until after 2 P. M. In the meantime the street's were lined with a waiting throng of colored folks, who received the news with evident satisfaction. AT THE UNIVERSITY GROUNDS The soldiers boarded the street cars in waiting and were carried to the Virginia Union University grounds, where the committee of ladies had provided box luncheons for the soldiers. They lined up and eat as only soldiers can eat. It was after 5 o'clock when Chief Marshal W. H. Anderson accompanied by a contingent of the Spanish American War Veterans marched down Leigh street followed by the colored troops. The residences along the route had been decorated and the crowd was enthusiastic all along the line of march. RETURNING TO THE WHARF. In addition to the colored section, the parade also passed down the white section of the city. Then the troops returned to the wharf and boarded the Pocahontas again. It swung out in the James River for City Point from which place the men went to Camp Lee, from which place they will be mustered out. The feeling among the colored people here was one of intense interest and that they appreciated the efforts of the white people here to accord them proper recognition is evident from the remarks heard from every part of the colored district. MORE TO COME SOON More colored troops are expected to arrive and with them will no doubt come the fighting units that won disction on the battlefields of Europe. The Committee of arrangements handled this affair without a hitch of any kind and marked improvement was shown over the welcome accorded this body of troops and those that visited the city before. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

STATE HEALTH BOARD ISSUES WARNING. Warning is issued by the State Health Department to all summer vaccinationists. Commissioner Williams as serts that this is not a year for taking chances. While there is no reason to believe that typhoid or other germs are to be more dreaded now than formerly, it is certain that the mild weather has left a legacy of many flies to carry germs, and it is the conviction of all health authorities that resistance to disease will not be as strong as usual this year by reas on of the weakening effects that follow grip. Some of the Virginia resorts are virtually as safe as the cities of the State. Others have not paid due attention to precautionary measures; and as a consequence their sanitation is not up to the standard nor are their water sources adequately protected. The health department is not inclined to issue any approach to ad vice which might be construed as a warning against summer trips, but it emphatically declares that people should be very particular this year in selecting the spots for vacations. This advice is especially to be stress ed where there are young children in the family. Before taking infants on summer trips parents are being urged to make sure that the sanitation of the place selected is up to standard, that the drinking water is pure and that the house is screened if there are flies in the neighborhood. 1 No exact census of safe places is kept by the department. In fact it could only recommend such resorts as have been officially examined by its inspectors and rated up to standard. These inspections make it comparatively easy to give advice regarding hotels, but the countless homes which in the summer months take boarders are only subject to the advice which would be general for the district. The health department can, in such cases, give the figures of the locality for communicable diseases, water sources and sanitary improvements but even that cager information may determine for or against. S. W. Robinson S. W. Robinson GROCERIES 623 NORTH THIRD STREET Richmond, Virginia Phone, Madison 3038 AERIAL DAREDEVIL BIRDMAN PLANS NON-STOP FLIGHT TO PACIFIC—TO GET GAS FROM OTHER CRAFT. The world's most daring aerial acrobat, Lieutenant Ormer L. Locklear, plans a non-stop flight from New York to San Francisco. He will attempt it as soon as he is released from the United States Army. The big feature of his flight will be to take on gasoline through a dangling tube from other "ships" high in the air at various points along the route. The number of times it will be necessary to refill his tank will depend on the capacity of his tanks and the speed of the machine. When the man making the flight approaches, a machine will take the air and take up a position over and near the transcontinental flyer. A long rubber tube or pipe with an automatic cutoff will be lowered, the end of the tube inserted in the lower machine and the gas turned on. All this time the two machines will be flying along at the same rate of speed. The big point of the scheme is its pricability as demonstrated by experiences in flying machines in parallel courses within a few feet of each other and by his stunt of dropping from one "ship" to another a year ago. Lieutenant Locklear, who is in the Aviation Section of the Army is an aerial acrobat. Photographs have been made of him jumping from one aerialplane to another. He walks on the fuselage, hangs on a strut, calmly leans on the rudder, or gets a closer view of the land by hanging from the bottom of the machine. He is absolutely fearless and believes that there must be pioneers in his business as well as in any other. Photo shows Lieutenant Locklear walking from rear of machine to observer's seat of plane, while machine is traveling at 60 miles an hour. Insert shows most remarkable photograph ever made in the air. It shows Lieutenant Locklear hanging from the wheel skids of his aerialplane while flying miles above the ground.

Senators Ridicute Them as the Very Opposite of the Results Accomplished at Versailles.
