Sent Much Information to the States. Defended Colored Soldiers. VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 36. Charges That I PUBLISHED BELAT LE Hon. Ralph Tyler Sent Much Int to the St Defended Colore Columbus, O., July 7.—Ralph W. Tyler, who served as war correspondent in France, has sent Dr. Du Bois the following letter, dated July 1, 1919: Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Editor, The Ciris, New York, N. Y. Sir: It is customary, with reputable, well-meaning publications, when they carry a baid-face misstatement, to give a correction of it the same prominence, in a succeeding issue, given to the misstatement. I am not anticipating you will conform to the rules of broad-minded editors. Recent statements made by you, in The Crisis, suggest the contrary. DRAGGED IN THE CONTROVERSY In the July number of The Crisis, according to advance sheets I have seen, in your answer to Dr. Emmett Scott's reply to your criticism of him you drag me into the controversy by stating, referring to my service in France as a war correspondent: "He had no special facilities, and he sent nothing. But that was not all. Despite the fact that Mr. Tyler ha dth_e same opportunities as the editor of The Crisis to learn the truth he has since his return published practically nothing and revealed no essential fact. Why" AN ESSENTIAL FACT On your return from France, where you went after the war was over, you published, in the May number of The Crisis, a story about Monsieur Blaise Diagne, Deputy Commissionaire General of France, in charge of colonial effects, and his connection with a certain order issued suggesting discrimination against American colored soldiers. You considered this, doubtless, an "essential fact," or you would not have published it. I secured this information in November, more than a month before you arrived in France sent it immediately, and without it being censored to colored newspapers in the United States and they published it before my return from France, and five months before your return. COL GREER'S LETTER The letter of Colonel Allen T. Greer, Chief of Staff for the 92nd Division, which you considered sufficiently "essential" to publish in the May number of The Crisis, I secured two days after it had been written, and it was on its way to the United States—sent by me—before you arrived in France. To be brief, all the "essential" facts you exploited in the May number of The Crisis as news, I had secured and sent to the States for use by the colored weeklies before your arrival in France—five months before you published them in The Crisis. You state, in the July number of The Crisis, according to the same advance sheet I have seen, which under your editorial management, apparently, is degenerating into a medium through which to give, vent to your personal spleen and dissatisfaction with every one, save yourself, that while in France, I "gent nothing;" that since my return I have published practically nothing." DOES NOT READ COLORED WEEKLIES These statements of yours almost leads me to conclude that you do not, as reported, read our splendid colored weeklies, many of which carried my criticism of the injustice heaped upon colored officers and soldiers while in France, and many of which carried matter I sent to the States before, and after the signing of the armistice. You doubtless did not read my eight-page story, in The Cleveland Advocate, of the part our soldiers played in the world war—their valor, endurance and the brutal treatment they received. Since my return I have spoken in many cities throughout the country, and at each place I told a plain, unvarnished story of the injustices, discriminations, brutal treatment our boys had to endure in France at the hands of some American army officers. I never minced my words. While in France I not only sent much matter back, and that, too, without censorship, but I personally interceded with army officers to give our Colored soldiers, among whom were three sons of mine, a fifty-fifty break—give them Justice. SERVING HIS PEOPLE I went to France for service to my people, so refused to ask for salary. I never, in order to secure appointment, wrote for publication, prior to my going, any editorial or article advising my people to "Bury our differences" as you did as a prelude to securing a commission as captain in the Bureau of Military Intelligence at Washington. I never attempted disservice by striving to secure a commissioned officer's salary of $2400 a year while endeavoring and desiring to hold on to a salary of $4000 per annum as editor of a race publication assumed to stand for justice for the race under any and all circumstances, and which you might have succeeded in doing but for the activity and prosec of that patriot, Archibald H. Grimke, winner of the Spingarn medal. A CAUSTIC REMARK It is possible, from your lofty perch, you can see nothing "essential" in the matter I secured, sent to the States, and which was published in our Colored weeklies before you arrived in France. However, months later—five of them, the same matter was considered sufficiently "essential" for you to publish, in your personal organ, as supposed real, live news. During my stay in France I sent confidential reports, through diplomatic channels. I reported against General Ballon the second day after reaching the 92nd Division. I reported against Colonel Greer, against Major Deams, of the 325th Signal Battalion; against the rank discrimination practiced by Y. M. C. A, white secretaries and against others who discriminated against our splendid Colored soldiers and I have the knowledge that my reports were taken up by Mr. Scott immediately on their receipt. A POINTED QUESTION If what I revealed while still in France, and since my return, both through the Colored weeklies, which you, perhaps, do not condescend to read or exchange with, and on the platform in many cities, did not constitute what you term an "essential fact," then why in the name of high heaven did you give so much space to the same facts, in The Crisis, many months after I had received them? If you want to know how I served my race in France—how I contended for justice for them even under shell fire, ask the Colored officers and soldiers who came in contact with me and my work in France, but don't depend upon your warped views for the truth about any one, save W. E. B. Dutlois. "FINIS" WRITTEN Perhaps it is true that "much learning makes one mad" and that may account for your failing to discover any good in any one save W. E. B. DuBois. As the problem facing my, and your race is far too urgent, serious and vital to waste more time with non essentials, I write "Finis" to this controversy with you and commend you to the Biblical injunction: "First take the mote out of thine own eye." Respectfully, RALPH W. TYLER RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1919. At the Mercy of the Deluge SOUTHERN-OPPOSITION. TO THE CITY JIR-CHENISH. LYNINGING. FOR SCHOOLS. INTIMIDATION. CELEBRATE HOME COMING OF RICHMOND SOLDIERS One of the most impressive services ever witnessed in this city was held on the campus of the Virginia Union University on Sunday, July 6 the occasion being the demobilization of service flags by several organizations cooperating with the Home Coming Committee in the Home Coming Celebration. Notwithstanding the extremely hot weather, a large crowd assembled within the court surrounded by the stately buildings of Richmond's famous institution of learning. The grounds had been beautifully decorated under the supervision of Prot. C. T. Russell and Mr. J. M. Dabney and the environments were in keeping with the auspicious event about to transpire. Promptly at 5:30 o'clock, Mr. J. M. Habley called the meeting to order an dthe community chorus under the direction of Mr. Joseph Matthews sang America. Dr. M. E. Davis conducted the decorations and the chorus was called upon again to render several home coming songs. Sergeant Frank A. Cephas recently returned from France delivered an inspiring address and moved the large audience with his narrative of conditions in France and closed with an eloquent appeal in behalf of the colored enlisted men. The people sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," after which Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom was presented by Mr. M. Alphonso Norrell. The address of Dr. Ransom was one of the greatest efforts ever delivered from a Riemond platform. Miss R. L. Wright conducted the demobilization ceremonies. The names of the Richmond men who gave their lives in the great war were read and the audience stood for fifteen seconds with heads bowed in memory of the men sleeping in France. The flags were then demobilized with appropriate ceremony. Many of the men represented by the stars in the flags were present at the services and stood when their names were called. Mr. Mabrey called upon Dr. J. M. Gandy, President of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, of Petersburg, Va., who spoke in a very complimentary way of the work being done in Richmond under War Camp Community Service. Sergeant Benjamin Dean sang, "Dear Old Pal of Mine" as only Ben Dean can, "Home Sweet Home" ended the program and the event passed into the history of this eventful era. Monday, July 7, the Home Coming Committee staged a picnic for the returned soldiers on the University Campus. Every person agreed that the event was unparalleled in the history of the city. Nearly five thousand people attended the function and the grounds were filled from four o'clock until midnight. The electric display was planned by Prof. C. T. Russell and was the most elaborate ever witnessed in this city. The Elks Minstrel entertained the crowd with a very creditible entertainment and the Sharon Band and the Curtis Jordans' Orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. The National Encapture of the Spanish American War was in session on Monday and after the morning meeting joined with discharged soldiers and various civic organizations and paraded to the picnic ground under Mr. Nathaniel Roy and Mr. W. H. Anderson. Refreshments were served to all wearing the tickets issued by the committee. The event was entirely successful in every way and the people were enthusiastic in their communication of the management. Richmond has led every other city in the Union in the welcomes and receptions tendered the returning Negro troops. The Committee plans to use two days later in the Fall to honor the unts from this city still in France. REV. DR. DANIEL L. REED. First Lieutenant and Chapain, U. S.

The ladies were delighted with the initiation and were highly complimented for their quiet dignified bearing. Forty were made and in a few weeks more than ten will be added to the club, as they are anxious to go "over the top" in having the largest Court in that section of the State. After the initiation services a fine banquet was served in the school house. The members of Rising Hop, Lodge ably assisted in furnishing the delicacies of the season $_{\text{n}}$ for the occasion. Mrs. Georgie Burd came over from Strasburg in the morning for Mr. Thomas Byrd, who has the honor of getting this fine body of ladies into the Order, as he could not get off from his work.

PRICE. FIVE CENTS OLORED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF U. S. INSURANCE. Discharged Negro soldiers and sailors, who served Uncle Sam in the World War, have begun to realize the value of their government insurance, according to Lieutenant J. Williams Clifford, a former officer of the famous Buffalo regiment, which made history in France, and now the representative of the colored fighting, man in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. In speaking of the colored service, man's insurance, Lieutenant Clifford said: “Discharged soldiers and sailors of my race, are taking advantage of the new and liberal reinstatement provision for lapsed war risk policies. Under this provision, the soldiers and sailors can reclaim their insurance even after having made no monthly payments of premiums for nine months from the date of discharge.” “I am glad that the Negro soldiers and sailors are appreciating the true value of Uncle Sam's insurance he came it is the lowest cost and safest insurance obtainable. Efforts to educate them to advantages of this insurance have been highly gratifying, thanks to the aid of organizations of all kinds interested in welfare work among colored soldiers and soldiers.” Forty-third Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Thornton Leeson celebrated their forty-third marriage anniversary, Tuesday eve, July 19, 1949, at the residence of her sister; Mrs. Pauline Archer and son-in-law; Mr. Ben Allen, Westhampton, Va.

CONGRESS TO PROTECT OUR MERCHANT FLEET. Mail Subvention to be Provided in Sufficient Amount to Cover Difference in Labor Cost. [ Washington, uly]—Congress will shortly enact a law which will amply protect the merchant marine of the United States against the competition of foreign labor and foreign production so that it may start on an even keel with other nations in what is regarded here as certain to be the greatest struggle for commerce yet known in history. It is thought likely by Senators and Representatives as well as by trade experts in the government, that the next two years will witness a period of readjustment but that thereafter will come the tremendous revival of industry. For this Republicans now in control of Congress intend to prepare. England is already doing so, with an immense preponderance of ships at her disposal. Japan with ships greatly augmented during the war and without losses, is already fully prepared France, too, is seek ing to recuperate in this way. The United States it is hold, cannot compete unless the protective principle is applied not only to the tariff but to the merchant marine. To this end and as the first preliminary the Ways and Means Committee will prepare a general tariff bill to cover the vast difference between the cost of production at home and abroad and especially to give America labor a breathing spell ingget ready for the world-wide competition soon to come. Chairman Fordney takes the view that allies in the fight against Germany are not allies of the dollar which has no patriotism and that America's best friend is herself and that she alone should be depended upon to protect herself. The protective tariff thus made will be high enough to keep out an inundation of foreign goods on both coasts. The second step will be the reporting of a bill from the Senate Commerce Committee and from the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries to not only encourage but give full support to cover the difference in labor cost will be established on certain regular routes to the Orient, South America and Europe; that is the United States will by this legislation maintain mail routes to sufficient government expense to cover the higher labor cost which the ship owner has to pay in this country over what he has to pay under cheaper living conditions in England and Japan. Both communities have been making a study of the problem and have, come to the conclusion that this is the sole solution of it. NO LIBERTY FOR KOREA - Washington, July.—Senator Spencer, of Missouri, has taken up the cause of the people of Korea and is pleading in the Senate for self-determination for them, he being of the opinion that the President's oft-repeated policy should be applied in all cases including the dependencies of Great Britain and Japan and not merely the former colonies of Great Britain and Japan and not merely the former colonies of the German Empire now a thing of the past. As there is a republic of Ireland in existence with its provisional president taking up his headquarters at the Walleloft in New York so there is a president of the Korean republic in the person of Dr. Syngman Rhee, who has cabled President, Clemensean of the Versailles Conference as follows: "On behalf of the people and legitimate government of Chosen, now the Republic of Korea. I here by notify you and through you all commissioners or delegates to the Peace Conference that the people and government of Korea will not be bound by signature or any act, of the Japanese Government or the Japanese ministers or their delegates at feeling the territorial integrity governmental policy or independence of Korea or Chosen." Meanwhile Japan holds Korea and is given control of China by the President. SING TO BE BELD IN YARD OF ARMY AND NAVY CLUB ON SUNDAYS.

"Like mana from heaven to the penniless soldier," is the description given by former Governor William Spry, of Utah, to the Mondell soldiers' settlement bill at a hearing before the House Committee on Public Lands. H_c appeared as a member of the special commission appointed by Governor Bamburger, of Utah, to represent that State in cooperating with the Federal Government to carry out the purposes of the bill. "This is not a sectional measure," said Spry, "for every State of the Union can receive benefits under it. If any State does not benefit it will be the fault of that State and not of the bill. To my certain knowledge there are large tracts of cutover timber lands and wet lands in the South even that can be reclaimed and utilized under its provisions. Thousands of acres of cutover lands in the Northwest can be made available for settlement. "Arid lands of the West can be reclaimed and abandoned farms and waste lands of the North and East can be brought back into productivity. Every soldier of the great war will receive benefits from this proposed legislation, either direct or indirect. The American Legion in national and State meetings has supported it. It is unanimously favored by the soldiers. FUl/TON NOTES. The ordination of Rev. C. A. Cobbs will be held July 22, 8:30 P. M.

The delegates were instructed to ask that Bishop Black well be sent back to the Michigan conference for another four years. BUREAU OF NEGRO ECONOMICS. Information comes to us that the Bureau of Negro Economies under the Department of Labor, with Dr. George E. Haynes as Director has been for the time being if not permanently, crippled, in that the entire field staff of this bureau has been discontinued, pending some effort on the part of parties interested to permanently reform the work and personnel of this most important Dylvis ion of the Government. Word is given out that an effort will be made to keep intact the Negro Workers' Advisory Committees that have been built up throughout this and other states by having the Chairmen and members connect up directly with the head of the Bureau at Washington, whose office and a small staff of assistants is the only one that has been retained. This skeleton is held with a view to making arrangements for a permanent organization. It is to be hoped that this Bureau, the only one of its kind ever conceded the Negro by the Government, will not have to go out of existence as simply a war measure. In the light of modern government it can readily be seen what a world of good an office of the Government such as this can be accomplish. Then too, it furnishes the Negro a means by which to obtain a consideration of his contentions that could not be otherwise gotten. It is a great lover, and in the hands of the right man., a terrific load of race discrimination, race-hatred and ignorance of the Negro's true worth as an economic factor in the life of America and the world, can be moved. Under Dr. Haynes a compact hard-work formation of Negro Workers' Advisory Committees has been set up and be gun to function in a quiet painstaking way. It is a great blow to every person who understood the objective of these committees to know that the work has been crippled. Nevertheless, hope is held out thatC congress will see fit to put this Division on a permanent basis. When we realize that a Democratic Congress saw fit to put this little arm of the Government at the Negro's' disposal, we shudder to entertain a notion that a Republican Congress could take it away. ANNUAL CONVENTION. Of the Virginia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. At the end of an age, at the beginning of a new era - the signing of the terms of peace, by a vanquished Joe - the colored women of Virginia assemble at Charlottesville for a three day conference of helpfulness. The session was opened in a timely and befitting manner, with devotional songs and prayers, the spirit of thanksgiving and jubilee pervading the entire proceedings. After opening routine, seating of delegates, appointing of ommittees, etc., the morning session adjourned until the afternoon at which time His Honor Mayor E. G. Haden, and Rev. G. M. Long delivered welcome addresses in behalf of the city and churches respectively. A child welfare exhibit for promoting social reconstruction works presented by The National Child Welfare Association, was prepared. The following subjects included in the child welfare exhibit were discussed during the conferences: Parental Care For Saving Mothers' and Babies' The public most cordially invited and welcomed. WEDNESDAY NIGHT SESSION In spite of the continuous down pour of rain a fairly large audience was present at the night session of the Federation. Aside from interesting reports from various sections of the State the real feature of the evening was the annual address of the beloved organizer and president Mrs. Jane Porter Barrett. In her address she took sufficient time in telling why the "Home" for women and girls at Peake and such schools we necessary. If the child is not sure guarded at its home it must be caught up at the Home for Wordward Girls Better wages, she claimed is also necessary for the parents, so that they may the better educate and care for their children. Mrs. Barrett, the president of "The Home at Peake" stated in her report, that she was also teaching citizenship by having the girls to contribute of their means to Liberty Loans, Red Cross, War Savings etc. A marriage ceremony was also performed at the home for the purpose of giving the girls an encouragement and an example of honorable married life. Upon the suggestion and recommendation of Mrs. Margaret R. Johnson of Richmond the Federation put on a Fifteen Hundred Dollar drive for the following year. With such organization and support, Madam Barrett the beloved and judicious President will be enabled to meet certain necessities for the Girls' Home at Peake. At the closing, after many hours of thanks to the people of Charlotteville for their old Virginia hospitality the convention adjourned to meet at Petersburg in its next annual session. Mrs. Jane Porter Barrett, Peake, President; Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, vice president at large, Richmond; Mrs. Kate T. Boland, Recording Sec- retary, 515 2nd St., N. E. Roanoke; Mrs. Margaret R.

Speaks of the Work of The Planet, and the N. A. A. C. P. Danville, Va., July 8th.—When I was a little younger than I am now, I read a poem entitled "The New Church Organ" one line of which was as follows: "We've got a new church organ, Sue." And when I read a few days ago of the organization in New Orleans of "The Lincoln League" this long forgotten together classic was brought to my mind. Yes, sir, the Neroes have gotten to gether and formed a "brand new organ" for "Race Uplift" or down pull, I know not which; but I am misaken en in one statement: I said that the Negroes have gotten together; there i sno such "a animal." What I meant was that few peripatetic wind lom THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA mers and self appointed raco leaders, who hold commissions from no body and represent one no one but themselves and scarcely that, having done every thing else, except work to get a living have invented another means by which to gull the guilible and throw sand into the eyes of those who are all ready blind. For more than fifty years the Negro has been organizing "leagues" and "councils" and congresses, and associations for the good of the race and all of them together have not done one per cent of the good that one paper like "The Planet" or such organizations as The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The one first took and stuck to the text "Lynch Law must go" and the other organized that cry and made it a National question. It has collected and expended organizations collected an expended funds to spread its propaganda; held up to scorn and contempt and other public officials who were derelict in the discharge of their duty; raised money to suppress the National crime and wiped segregation laws from the books, all this time the Planet was shelling the forts and giving aid and comfort to every move while our black "colonels" and honourables and greatest orators of the race were put ting down a barrage of talk from sea to sea and organizing "Linecoln Leagues" of which they were the chief cooks and bottle washers, and around whose necks hung the keys to the slop bucket, but as soon as a little bit of a public office heaved into sight they each began to sing "I got mine." It seems to me that if the Negroes of this country like the Jews and Irish and Germans, or any other race except the Negro should get together and take care of just what they need. one society or league or association or whatever one chooses to call it instead of spending so much valuable time in organizing "leagues" which last no longer than Jona's gourd vine, and some not so long. O, boy, just one society that should speak for all our people and some of our Field Marshal, and LL, D's, and D, D's, and LL, B's, and Esquires and other gentlemen of leisure and birds of passage who like the christian have no continuing city, should connect them/Aves to the big end of a job, and the small end of so-called "Rice Organizations" and lend their aid and assistance to the men and organizations who are all ready doing effectual work—work that counts for the race they and the race would be better off when reckoning times comes. We have too many captains and too few buck privates; too many companies like the one in the Liberian army of which the late C. H. J. Taylor used to speak that had twenty eight men of which twenty seven were officers. Once when the court had appointed two indifferent lawyers to defend a man charged with a crime the prisoner after sizing up his attorneys said judge may I swap off both these dun lawyers for one good witness? Oh, that we could exchange about seven thousand of our "leaders" for just seven good followers, what showers of blessings that would be. DEMORHIZATION RIFE IN THE POSTAL SERVICE. Congressmen Flooded With Letters Demanding Resignation of Burleson. Washington, July-Complete demoralization of the postal service under the direction of Postmaster General Burleson is becoming so ap parent to members of Congress that it is not unlikely that after the return of the president pressure will be brought to bear upon him even by Democrats to remove this member of his Cabinet from Office. Congressional malli s Tiled with an tagonism, Complaints, protests, confections and even imprecations are made. All classes of patrons or the postoffice are heard from. The humblest individual as well as the largest business enterprise has been disastrously affected. Postmasters at small offices are driven to their wits' end in making apologies for the service and the administration they are ashamed of and Representatives and Senators have been apprised of this. In some cases the poor service and its causes are so apparent and im possible of justification that post masters have resigned in disgust tired of handling out explanations which fail to explain or satisfy. Complaints have often come from patrons at offices where the department only pretend to furnish a sufficient number of employees to serve the public and long lines of people are at the window they desire to use. The clerk is often at another window doing something else he has been told to. The cause is said to be that the addition o the Parcel Post with its burdensome labor, the multiplicity of conflicting orders from the central department the frequent modifications of rules that follow changes of system and the numerous reports made to headquarters, will tend to keep the office force jumping from one thing to another while awaiting public wonders at the penuriousness of Uncle Sam and the reason for it all. All this in the Congressional mail. In the big cities where the mail is delivered from house to house by carriers, the dweller is given by the department to understand that more efficient service can be rendered by few or carriers. Two or three deliveries a day will require less shoe leather than four. Perhaps the busy man should not be annoyed with so much mail service. The same kind of logic is said by numerous correspondents to apply to the farmer, the newspaper and the periodical. Rural free delivery routes have been reorganized, reconstructed, relocated, redistributed and revamped in a style to stifle of frequent service. The conclusion has become general that the department is run for the department and not for the public. Hence the louder volume of Congressional protest. WANTED — A good all around Printer.

They talk peace in Europe and they prepare for war in the same country... All of us may not get to Heaven, but all of us should be striving to get there. Saving money is a habit just like spending money is a natural acquirement. Ten dollar suits are now selling for forty dollars. Now is the time to spend money. Some folks eat too much and earn too little. People, who will not work should not eat. Some of the biggest humbugs in this country wear religion as a cloak to conceal their iniquities. People, who eat heartily and who claim to be all the time sick are usually about ninety per cent lazy. We have had a hard time in this world, but there are some other folks who have had a harder time. People change just as the world changes. Only fundamental principles remain the same. Great men have gone into retirement and small insignificant men are having the time of their lives at the capital at Washington. When some folks want to economize, the things most necessary to their welfare are the ones they first lop off. The German National Assembly has ratified the Peace Treaty that practically all of Germany regards as "a scrap of paper." --- Colored folks buy land. Own your own home. You may be a long time paying for it but have your name on the tax books and pay your taxes. --- The blockade against Germany was raised July 12, 1919 and the indications are that within one month or more trading with the Central Allies will be a practical certainty. --- Many of our subscribers are sending us their subscription money with words of commendation upon our work. It helps us to pay our bills and be happy. If you want to see money literally take wings and fly purchase an automobile. Either a new car or a second hand one will accomplish the same result. --- Read colored journals. It will pay you to do it. You need a mouth-piece and only through this channel can you be properly heard. The pulpit and the press are on a par. When you advocate the one, support the other. --- Some people cannot tell the truth "from the nose to the chin." The fear of punishment in the other world is never present and they go on misrepresenting facts and exalting error. Sonator Borah says that President Wilson's address answered itself and there was therefore no need for any one to answer it. The League of Some Nations is not a remedy for war. --- Colored folks are buying automobiles. No matter what kind they are be they old or new, low priced or high priced, colored folks are buying auto mobiles. ```markdown ``` Colored folks are being persecuted and misrepresented, but they are marching steadily forward. Those of them who are being lynched and executed only inspire those who live to achieve greater things. Dr. R. R. Moton is paying the penalty for being in the limelight. He is beginning to feel that it is a case of "being damned if you do and damned if you don't." He should have been in politics years ago and he would have gotten "used to it." Blessed is the man and the woman who will mortgage their home to purchase a luxury, for both will land in the poor house, where everything is furnished free even to a grave in Potter's Field. Colored folks should engage in business. A race of trade earners will help, but a race of merchants will do more than help. Be a merchant. Learn to buy and sell at a reasonable profit and your success is secure. ```markdown ``` Some people make the object of their life pleasure, instead of making it a means of material accomplishment. When the sun of life sets for them, they die disappointed. People do not wish to die, for the reason that they know what is here and they must guess as to what is over yonder. Some claim that faith makes them know but it is guessing just the same. Pleasure is a health producer if taken in moderate quantities. It becomes a disease if it is made primary and is absorbed in excessive quantities. --- Some people can stand matrimony from one month to five years. Some others can stand it a lifetime. Those in the latter class who do so willingly constitute about five per cent and this is guess work. This new generation does not seem to regard matrimony as a divine institution. --- Be polite and obliging colored folks. It does not matter if some of the white folks do abuse and misrepresent you. All of them are not that way in clined. Be polite and obliging to all regardless of race or color. --- Dr. George B. Haynes has been retained in charge of the Bureau of Economics under Secretary Wilson. His present force of employees has been reduced however. The Congress did not continue the appropriation to maintain the service. Twelve men charged with lynching Frank Foukal in the Baldwin county jail June 22, 1919 have been placed in jail at Montgomery, Alabama on a charge of murder. If they can be convicted, a new day will dawn in Alabama. --- Many married men are sending their wives to the country to spend the hot Summer months with some of their relatives. These married men say they want peace and theirwives say that they do not want so much worry. --- President Woodrow Wilson has returned to Washington from Paris and is about to face a hostile Congress. He is about to make the fight of his life. It may land him in the niche of fame or in a grave-yard, but he seems determined to take a chance in the arena of public debate and to confound his enemies. They are calling Hon. John Skelton Williams the "wild-cat of the Treasury Department." It must be admitted that from the appearance of the faces of some of his enemies he has done some clawing. --- Colored folks are friendly with the white folks hereabouts, but that Ku Klux Klan business has caused them to doubt some of their best friends. In the meantime, the white THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA folks hercabouts are not saying anything, while the colored folks are doing a powerful lot of thinking and talking too. The beer-drinkers are having a hard time of it now. The whiskey men say that if they cannot have their whiskey, then the temperance people shall not have light wines and beer. If the country is to be dry, it must be dry indeed. In the meantime, the corn liquor homesteads are doing a rushing business. All that is needed is something to smother the scent. A revenue officer or a prohibition official can scent whiskey a mile off and both will run to it, not away from it just like all of the other folks who like their toddies. It is announced that Senator Hitch cock has retired from the position of administration leader in the United States Senate and that Senator Claude A. Swanson of Virginia will represent the distinguished occupant of the White House when the battle opens. The indications are that the League of Some Nations will have "rougii shedding" in the United States Senate and that reservations will be in incorporated in the document is a certainty. In the meantime, the Republicans are determined to do all that they can to defeat the ratification of the treaty with the League of Nations included. President Wilson is reported to have made an effort to save what he can in the original document and to incorporate such changes as will take from the Republicans the Democratic support that they would otherwise receive. This is politics, not statesmanship. WHITE SOLDIERS MALTREATED TOO. Colored troop from over-seas have been complaining bitterly on account of race prejudice and racial discriminations. They have alleged that they have been brutally treated. It now seems that the same treatment visited upon colored men was inflicted upon white ones, but not from the same angle. In all that has appeared in Dr. W. E. B. DuBois' disclosures in the New York Crisis nothing exceeds in downright brutality, the following telegraphic dispatch from the National Capital: Washington, July 12.—"A species of despotism worse than that t for which we are going to punish the kaiser," was charged against the officials of the provost marshal's office of the American army in Paris, by Representative Ballinger, of Mas sacsouetts in the house today. He said American boys "who went across the sea imbued with patriotism—the best blood of our land—are de clared to have been beaten, clubbed, starved—all in the name of democ racy." Continuing he said it is charged that men caught in the web of the American military police system of Paris were placed in vile prison pens. "That our soldiers some of them wearing wound stripes some returning to duty after weeks and months of suffering in hospitals were thrown into prison without trial and without charges ever being preferred against them for such offenses as failure to have proper military travel orders in their possession. "Evidence is produced showing that men were hit and clubbed until they bled and fainted and that one man even preferred death to the treatment to which he was subjected and took his own life." Mr. Dallinger quoted from a letter he had received from James W. Beck man of New York city a former sergeant major of the American expeditionary forces. He said he had met by Mr. Beckman and had read copies of affidavits substantiating these charges. I have talked with men who served in the army in France," Mr. Dallinger continued and they state that the conditions described were matters of common knowledge to the American soldier in France and I have become convinced that there is truth in these reports. Three paragraphs from Mr. Beckman's letter were read to the house: "A most horrible incident was the case of a soldier who could not speak English very well, much less understand it thoroughly. He was struck and beaten for not snapping to a minor comarrad. He cried, "This is terrible." We'll show you how terrible it is, replied those who were hearing him and he was taken before personnel officer and two sergeants. A lieutenant beat him again and put him in a cell on bread and water. Evidently they considered this too good for him so he was placed in a 'pup' tent for solitary confinement. "During the afternoon his quietness was noticed and when they went over and tore his tent down he was lying on his back with his throat cut. It was about an hour before the ambulance arrived and the silent form borne off to the hospital. And those sands of miles across the sea and land perhaps there awaited a gray-haired mother with a service star in the window of her humble home, who received word from the war depart ment that General Porshing had re ported her son among those who died from other causes." Mr. Dallington resumed: "We can not sit idle while stories of torture such as these are made. I have turned over the information in my possession to the select committee of the house appointed to investigate expenditures of the war department. I shall watch the investigation of these charges by that committee and I know that every other member of this house will do the same. There will be a unanimous demand Time Rose's HY-QUALITY HAIR GROWER A matchless Scalp Food Produces Positive Results FOR MORE INFORMATION NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK Mine Rose's HY-QUALITY TOILET PREPAPATIONS 2288 7TH AVE, NEW YORK Mine Rose's HY-QUALITY TOILET PREPAPATIONS Mine Rose's HY-QUALITY FACE POWDERS that the facts be ferreted out. I am confident that this committee will call witnesses and ask for the records of the war department and conduct an impartial and thorough investigation of the truth of these charges. This is a practical demonstrations of the certainty of the biblical prophecy. "The same measure, ye mete, the same shall be measured to you again." Dr. DuBois has made some startling disclosures relative to colored soldiers. Place them side by side with these open declarations and it would seem that a colored soldier in the colored barracks had little to choose in the methods of brutality from that visited upon white soldiers in the white barracks. Little men with little minds were at the head of the war machine and little officers with little minds were in charge at the foot of the war machine. O, the pity of it! head— department of the interior, bureau of education. FOREIGN STUDENTS WELCOME TO AMERICA. Will the United States help build up the civilization of the future by opening wide the doors of her colleges and universities to students from all over the world? Can German reestablish her educational prestige and draw students to her, first from the Near East, and later from other countries against whom she fought in the war? Is America to assume the educational leadership to which her new responsibilities call her? These are questions asked by the Bureau of Education, Department of Interior in a special article in School Life, an official publication of the Bureau.. In a letter to college and university officers in this country the Com missioner of Education writes: "The higher educational institutions of Western Europe have been prostrated by the war. Large numbers of the leading scientists and of the younger men whose scientific careers were just beginning have been killed. Because the intellectual resources of the United States have not been similarly drained, the western nations are looking to the United States to assume the responsibilities of leadership in education and in science. That the colleges an univer sities of the United States appreciate these responsibilities and are endeavoring to meet them is evidenced by the various movements that have been undertaken to promote closer educational relations between this country and the western allies. "Apparently Germany expects to regain the influence which she form early exerted over foreign nations by means of her universities, technical schools, and scientific institutes. This office is informed that efforts have already been made by German educational institutions to recover their clientele of foreign students, especially from the countries in the near East adjacent to or contiguous to Germany. There is, of course, no immediate prospect that she could make a successful appeal to the students of Great Britain, France or Italy. Students and young scientists in Czechoslovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Russia Romans an. western Asia are much more likely to be drawn to German universities and to technical schools. Germany is near and they know about it. The cost of living is lower than in some of the remoter countries, especially the United States. Nevertheless it is believed that students from these countries would gladly come to the United States if they were familiar with its educational opportunities and particularly if they could be as sured of sufficient means to complete their education. Evidently it is desirable that the tide of students from these countries should be turned this way rather than to Germany. More over the countries themselves need assistance. To render this is part of the responsibility involved in our new position of leadership. "The State Department suggests and this office cordially indores its suggestion, that the college officers of the county give this problem their attention. If they are generally disposed to encourage the coming of students from these countries by means of scholarships or special provisions for selfhelp, their offerings can be reported to the Bureau of Education, transmitted to the State Department and through the agents of that Department brought to the attention of educational authorities in the lands mentioned." In this connection the Bureau of Education is revising the bulletin on "Opportunities for foreign Students at Colleges and Universities in the United States" and is planning the preparation of a very much briefer Pay your City Gas and Water Bills Here. 1909 statement that can be translated in to the languages of certain of these countries and distributed through the agents of the State Department.

Washington, July.—Extravagance and waste of the War Department in the purchase of supplies for the army during the prosecution of the war have been pointed out by Major General George W. Goethals builder of the Paname Canal, in testimony be fore the House Committee on Expenditures in the War Department. He said that in 1917 he had discussed with Secretary Baker the advisability of appointing a Minister of Muni tions but the President cave out openly against it and nothing more was heard of it. In 1918 he called attention to the fact that the various bur cues of the War Department having to do with the purchase of war sup plies were competing against each other, which forced prices for all of them much higher than they would otherwise have been. The Navy was also competing with the Army for the purchase of clothing and the Post office Department with the War De partment in the purchase of cotton goods. He urged that all purchasing be done under a single head. When the armistice was signed the old sys tem was still in vogue however, de spite the fact that the President under the Overman act, had full authorl to consolidate any bureaus. Goethals declared that when he became Quartermaster General in December 1917, he found the entire War Department badly shot up. He found a fearful shortage of clothing and blankets, a serious congestion of othr supplies at the seabord as the re suit of lack of organization, having accumulated more rapidly than shipping facilities were made available and the Ordnance and Signal Corps com peting against each other in the pruse of trucks. He criticized the system of 10 per cent profit plus cost on contracts as filling the pockets of the contractors and militating against economy. He said that at the beginning of the war he had urged upon the department "government force ac count" used in the building of the Panama Canal. Under this system the government employed the labor and let the contracts only for the materials. Such a system with com petent engineers in charge of each can tonment would have proven more economical and satisfactory. On the Shipping Board he said he had per mitted no such contracts to be made. "If we had been prepared for war we should undoubtedly have saved a great deal of money," he said as he went on to explain that when he took over the Quartermaster's Department supplies were being purchased on a basis of an army of 1,300,000. He immediately directed on his own responsibility that the basis be 3,000 000 and then 4,000,000. PETERSBURG IS SCENE OF A DOUBLE TRAG5DY. Police Detective Young and Lloyd H. Long Each Kill Other.

July 11.—Nearly 200 members of the Texas National Guard from Dallas and Nacogdoches ordered here today by Governor W. P. Hobby to prevent further clashes between whites and Negroes were ariving tonight by train and auto bite. The situation remains quiet after a clash early today in which four white men were wounded when a small party of whites were fired up on by Negroes, estimated to have numbered about seventy-five.

Jones a Negro School teacher aeused of causing the publication of statements derogatory to a young woman of this city in a Negro news paper published in Chicago. The white men returned the fire of the Negroes who were hidden. They withdrew when their ammunition was exhausted. They soon returned with reinforcements but the Negroes had disappeared. Five of the principal Negro residence were then burned. The excitement soon passed how ever and the situation has been quiet since. Search for two alleged Negro leaders continued tonight. MORE TROOPS FOR RUSSIA Washington, July.—While peace has been signed with great joy and gladness around the world and the league of nations is supposed to have wound up all conflicts forever, the War Department under the direction of the President is sending more troops to Siberia where they are subjected to every privation and are too few to accomplish results. On June 28 the Department issued this order. "Because of the urgent and immediate need for replacement troops in Siberia commanding officers of recruit depots and recruit depot posts are being instructed to make organiz efforts to procure from men enlisting voluntary applications for service in Siberia. Officers will be designated to inform recruits of the op portunity for Siberian service. Recruits voluntarily expressing the desire for service in Siberia will be transferred at once to the Siberian Replacement Detachment, Presidio, San Francisco." It is declared by members of the Senate that this is what the country should continually expect if the league is ratified and the United States is committed to a policy of maintaining peace everywhere on the globe and to sending its boys to fight for it.

Senator Borah, after he heard that the President had done nothing, declared that the attitude of the peace conference toward Ireland plainly showed that the principle of self-determination enunciated by Mr. Wilson had been plainly sacrificed to the imperialistic ambitions of the European nations. He said that both the President and the conference had failed to meet the acid test in refusing to apply the self-determination principle to subject peoples dominated by the Allies. "But Ireland," he said 'is just one instance. The cases of Korea, Egypt and the Shantung peninsula are other flagrant violations of the principle. I say it with the utmost sincerity that the treaty of peace is a guarantor of war." Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, said the denial of Ireland's right proved the insincerity of the conference. p150.00 Endowment Paid.

C., June 26.—"The Interstate Association of Negro Train men of America, looking to the per- fecting of a union of all unorganized colored employees of the railway lines of America, for their full protection in working conditions and wages has been incorporated in the District of Columbia following the completion of preliminary plans inaugurated about a year ago. Attorney E. T. Barbour of El Reno Oklahoma is named as General Counsel and organizer. Richard A. Buford, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is general secretary under a bond of $7900 with the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Company. Both are substantial and reliable men of affairs of Oklahoma and are vouched for by the strongest financial forces of that State. L. Melendez King, of Washington, D. C., and William T. Francis of St. Paul Minn., leaders of the bar in their respective communities are associated with the General Counsel's staff assuring a strong legal combination. J. H. Maxwell supervisor of the Pennsylvania Railway Dormitories at Washington, recognized as a capable business man by the Pennsylvania Company, which employs over eight hundred Negroes, is one of the incorporators of the Association and will have an important part in the direction of its affairs. Wallace Barksdale, of this city also a railway attacke is a charter member and an active worker in the organization. The objects of the Interstate Association of Negro Trainedmen are: To maintain and insure standard working conditions and a uniform. wage scale; to destroy caste and color prejudice that militate against justice as to these essentials; and to establish reciprocity between each other bodies of organized labor as shall be necesary for the promotion of the welfare of the Negro employees of the nation's railway lines. It has the exclusive right, under its terms of incorporation to form a National Union of Negro railway employees, subordinate associations as auxiliaries to the parent stem. The Association at this time has upwards of 2,000 members, and its branches extend into the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Florida, Mississippi Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Misouri, Kansas, New Mexico, Texas and the District of Columbia. The present plans contemplate the formation of 5 brotherhoods to include all classes of labor now being performed by members of the race upon the railway systems of the land. The promoters declare that the Interstate Association is destined to become one of the greatest labor unions in the United States not less effective from a racial standpoint than the American Federation of Labor, in conserving the common rights of our Train men. Recently, the General Counsellor E. T. Barbour, was invited into conference at Atlantic City by Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, for a complete survey of the wishes and policies of the Association in the maintenance of union reciprocity between the A. F. of L. and the Negro Trainmen's Association. Subsequent to this interview, he has decided that on further negotiations will be entered into until the matter can be thoroughly considered at the forthcoming special meeting of the Trainmen, as it is felt that the formation of any kind of an alliance just now might not be to the best interests of the Negro employees in question. The primary aim of the organizers is to place the Association upon a firm, business basis, and its success in attracting to its ranks a group of our most intelligent, influential and public-spirited men is regarded as a tribute to its worth as a factor for racial uplift. The phenomenal progress made during the past few months is persuading its sponsors to believe that the Association is to fill a large place in American history far surpassing any previous effort to mobilize the thousands of Negro Trainmen who have needed only progressive leadership to obtain the rights and immunities due them. $150.00 EENDOWMENT PAID.
