TRADE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE RICHMOND PANET Virginia State Library TIME TO GETTING NEAR POSTED VOLUME XXXVI. NUMBER 45 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1890 BEAUREGARD MOSELEY A TRAITOR TO HIS RACE IN CHICAGO Colored Lawyer Placates Race in a Statement to White Press—An Aftermath of the Riots. To The Editor of The Planet. Chicago, IL. Sept. 3. Here in Chicago there is a "race teacher" by the name of Beauregard Moseby. He would have us "remember that this is a white man's country," thus denying the just claims of black men of other races who, with blood and brain and brawn, helped to make this country a home and a nation for all of its citizens. It is depoorbable, but not at all strange that the addie-brained twaddle of such unnually heckspitites is given prominence in some of the leading white publications of America. We cannot get rid of these Race Arnolds, but we can let the world know that their intitious mouthings express the thought of nobody save that of their own serpentine selves. The man who defends his home is a hero and not a hoodlum, whatever his race. We cannot believe that he is a roiter, whatever else he may be Of such were the back boys who, in Chicago as in Washington went out and met the enemy in the trouser tiring line. The result is history. Some call it riot but it was war; and it was of the well known brand that Sherman named. The fact is, we have lost confidence in the white lawmakers of this country who persecute us with their pre justice and lynch us with their laws; who legislate against our justice and justify themselves with their lies; who mock our miseries and burlesque our highest aspirations. Foes and friends, listen: If we must die, we intend to die defending our homes and loved ones. This is not a boast; it is the statement of a plain fact. We are confirmed in the faith that we are right in this. We are sure that some living conditions are worse than death. In the event of that worse, we choose death but elect to take with us plenty of first hand "evil gence" when we appear before the bar of St. Peter to account for our premature arrival there. The writer has long maintained that the mob violence against us in America is due chiefly to the attitude of the "good" white Pilates who as they would have the world be have wash their hands off of mob guilt while legislating against us, this shearing us of political economic and civil strength and leaving us to the ravages of their mobs. These mobs do only what they know they can do with little or no liability as to judicial punishment for themselves. They but carry out the unjust sentinel of their representatives higher up. White the white police of Chicago and their white soldier assistants, were busy discerning the colored people. Chief of Police John J. Garrity advised the white people to arm them adversely. This significant news. He appeared in the "Chicago Tribune" and then the报纸 were at their height. For the United States of America the condition of the self instituted No problem is seen in the excellent example set by France No more nor less. France records full civil rights and liberties, to all of her citizens at all times and in all places throughout her republic. France has no color problem because she has no color prejudice. The one cannot exist without the other. France does not stigmatize any of her citizens by any discriminating law. Long live France! As colored American citizens our remedy for lynching, pending the advent of the millennium is ultimately an economic one. To this end there must be the background of spiritual moral, mental, and physical power and zeal. We must organize and pool our resources. There must be team work among us. The recently organized "Chicago Peace and Protective Association" is a step in te right direction. Come, let us make man male and female according to our faith in God. Let us remake ourselves, with the help of Heaven, until we are the efficient peers of earth's elects in the professions, business and industries. Whenever one of us is murdered or mained by a mob, or a residence of ours is bombed by a friend let us sue the city, county or state to the utmost limit. The conscience of America is mainly that of Mammon. The winning of enough really big suits of this kind—by which we shall realize with the world our ability to do things in a big way—will do more in the way of securing for us proper Government protection than three hundred years of scrap paper greet ments between the so-called better white and colored people. CIVILIZATION Man's civil robe, though beauteous, and more. Conceals his savage self that workshops war; His riot spirit, drunk with battle gore, Is but the beast of what he was before. LUCIAN B.

SHEPHERDS CONVENE AT PAMPLIN Ten o'clock sharp Tuesday morning September 2nd, 1919 found the Grand Presiding Sheperd J Thomas Hewin, calling the Grand Fold Improved Order Sheperds and Daughters of Bethlehem to order in the Zion Baptist Church in Famplin Va. Devotional exercises were conducted by the Grand Chapin, Rev. Alexander Coleman. After the Grand Fold had been declared open and ready for business by the Grand Presiding Sheperd th roll of Grand Officers were called and the vacancies filled. At the roll call of Folds a larger num ber answered to their names by delegate than ever before in the existence of the Order. The Grand Shepard, Mr. J. Thomas Hewin then read his annual report, which reviewed the trials of the past year and counted and refounded the blessing that had come to the institution since our last meeting, and stressed the point of greater advancement in the coming year. The Grand Secretary then rendered his yearly report which showed that the Order had made greater strides forward in the past twelve months than ever be fore. Among the many indications of advancement shown in his report were the practically doubling of the number of new members brought in this year over that of last year and the running of the receipts several dollars over that of last year. What was true of the receipts was also true with the net savings for the year. It was almost dumfounding to listen to the Deputies and hear what they had accomplished in the past year of difficulties and hardships. Miss Mary J. Jenkins and Mrs. M. W. Garland and Mrs. Bettie Pryor, broke all records in putting in new members in the Order. The entire deputorial force rallied in a way the first lap of the campaign that caused every body to look upon them with admiration and appreciation. All of the sessions were characterized by over flow meetings. Wednesday found more people who were not able to gain admission to the church; then were actually on the inside. The scene reminded one of a great denomination national body in session. On Tuesday night the words welcome on behalf of the town were delivered for his Honor the Mayer by Rev. Mr. Bunton who is pastor of the Presbyterian Church (white). They were warm and cozy. The annual sermon was neoclassical on Wednesday night by Rev. A. L. Jones the pastor of the church.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS TRUE REFORMERS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING The 39th annual session of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers was held in Richmond, Va., September 9-11, 1919. A large and enthusiastic delegation was in attendance, and Grand Master Woodson presided. The night sessions were opened to the public and prominent among those who appeared on the program were Mrs. Rosa D. Hewser of Richmond who delivered the welcome address; Bishop P. A. Boulden of Philadelphia, Pa., who responded; Lawyer J. Thomas Hewson who delivered the eulogy on the death of the late Mr. Irvin East, member of the Board of Directors; Mr. John W. Lewis of Washington, D. C., who delivered a strong address on Race up lift and Miss Irene Stewart of Richmond who electrified her audience with her solo work. The report of the years work by the Grand Worthy Master, Secretary and Treasurer was very gratifying and received the unanimous hearty approval of the delegation. As a special token of appreciation for the services of the Grand Worthy Secretary Mrs. L. L. Stanard was voted two weeks vacation with pay and was also given a collection by the delegation. It was reported by the Grand Secretary that the Order had collected for the fiscal year beginning September 1st, 1918 and ending August 31st 1919 $26,560.24 and had added 1,162 new members. The Grand Master in his report made it clear that it was highly important that the delegation adopt some plan to wipe out the old outstanding death claims against the Order at the earliest possible date. On Wednesday night an Emergency Rally was held for this purpose under the direction of Mrs. Marie L. Jones of Wlmington, Del., and $526.60 were laid on the table. Richmond division won the first prize of $25.00 by raising $154.00 the largest amount reported by any division of the Broth erhood over $100.00 Washington Division won the second prize of $15.00 by raising $82.00 the largest amount reported by any division of the Broth erhood over $75.00 Hagar Fountain of Washington Division won the first Fountain prize of $10.00 by raising $54.00 the largest amount reported by an individual Fountain and King Solomon Fountain of Richmond won the second prize of $5.00 by raising $0.00 the second largest amount reported by any individual Fountain. A DRIVE FOR 5,000 NEW MEM BERS AND $25,000 FOR THE EMERGENCY FUND It was decided that the Fountains of the Brotherhood would make a drive for 5,000 new members and $25,000 for the Order's Emergency Fund within the next 12 months. The plan is that every member of the Brotherhood will be required to raise at least $5,00 for the Emergency Fund and to add not less than five members to his or her Fountain within the next 12 months. The plan will be worked on the every member canvass system. The Emergency Fund is used for the liquilia of the Orders old and past due death claims and if successfully operated the Order will be able to wipe out all of said indebtedness within the next three years. It is really pleasing to note the willingness of the members of support any plan adopted to pay off this debt. The members of the Board of Directors have subscribed $20,000 each to this fund to be paid at the rate of $10,00 a year, and one member of the Board subscribed $100,000. The total amount collected by the Order since 1910 through August 31 1919 is $508,342.10. The total amount paid on death claims during this same period is $364,344.55. The amount paid on death claims for the fiscal (Continued on Eighth Page.) --- RICHMOND DIVISION ENDORSES TRUE REFORMER DRIVES At a large and enthusiastic meeting of Richmond Division of the Grand Fountain U.

We welcome you from the waters soaked trenches. We welcome the boys who, Spartan-like in courage, faced death and privation in "No Man's Land." We welcome the boys who sleep upon the frozen, bullet-plouched fields of France. You who went forth to win—to make this world safe for democracy. To you who have returned bringing a white dove of peace upon thy stainless banne. You waxed valiant in the fight. They placed you on the Marne but you did not finch. They placed you en the Alsine but you did not tremble. They placed you before Metz but you did not weaken. You were jim-crowed but did not lose your fighting spirit, but marched like interpid warriors upon the greatest battlefield of the centuries and wherever you fought wrote your names in the conquered earth. We welcome you home, hay aside the bayonet, the grenade, the gas mask. You were brave soldiers in war, he brave citizens in peace. Fix your gaze on Jesus. Catch the vision. Its a vision of empire,—not terrestrial—put thy sword. This world must be made a neighborhood where one common brotherhood is recognized. True spirit of brotherhood alone will bring about a single race—a single empire, a single tongue, a lynchless land, a warless world.

Newtown, Va.—The revival services, which have just closed in this section were a blessing to everyone. Quite a large number accepted Christ many backsliders returned and the faithful Christians' strength renewed. Revival services at First Mount Olive were conducted by Rev. W. J. Moss, pastor of Congdon Street Baptist Church, Providence, R. I. As a result of the purity and simplicity of the gospel delivered by Rev. Moss forty-seven were received for baptism and several restored. The best wishes of this community go out in praise and thanks to God for the blessings which came through his servant, Rev. Moss. It pains us to say that Mrs. Emily Holmes, Deacon Charles Taylor and Mr. Warner Monroe are still on the sick list. Mr. Morton Ruffin, of Cauthornville left a few days ago for Trenton, N. J., where he will spend a few weeks. The farmers are now busy saving their crops of corn and tobacco, the latter far below the average. The slogan among those who are preparing for fall crop is, "We need rain." The women of this section have not forgotten the story of the ant and grasshopper, hence they are canning everything from a black-eye pea to a watermelon rine. Their slogan is, "We need sugar." A CALL FOR ANNUAL MEETING Rev. Byron Gunner Issues Call for National Equal Rights League. Kilborn, N. T. By the consent and authority of the President and of the Executive Committee, I hereby issue this call for the twelfth Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League, to convene in the city of Washington, D. C., Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 23, 24 and 25, 1919. 'All branches of the National Equal Rights League are entitled to representation by as many delegates as they may desire to send. All former members of the League, or former members of any branch thereof, and all other organizations or race bodies, religious, fraternal or civic adopting the principles of the league may become voting members of the convention by offering proof to the credentials committee, by means of credentials or otherwise, establishing this fact and by payment of the registration fee of one dollar for each delegate. It is vitally important that Colored Americans get together as speedily as possible. It is equally important that said getting together should be under the direct auspices of the great National Equal Rights League, the on-roa race organization that was foremost in getting the cause of the oppressed Colored American clearly presented to the World Peace Conference. Let all organizations come affiliated as above provided. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER. The only unharmed Colored American who went to France in the interest of our oppressed people was that matchless hero, William Monroe Trotter, of Boston. The account of Mr. Trotter's "under-sea passage" to France and his marvelous achievements while there in behalf of his oppressed people, is the most interesting and remarkable story of earlier times. Those who may have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to hear that wonderful story will be richly rewarded for their efforts. The race has only one William Monroe Trotter and he is in the forefront of the race's great organization. The recent World War, the Colored American's part in that war, together with some recent race conflicts in this country since the war, have combined and, as it were have "shot" the race question to the very front in the thought and life of our great country. And now, as never before, is the most opportune time for Colored Americans to come together under their own appointed leaders and by united effort, keep our cause to the front until we shall have made America a safe place for us to live in. Meet us in Washington, September 23, 24 and 25. Yours in behalf of the N. E. R. L., BYRON GUNNER, Chairman Executive Committee I have asplendidly located office over Colored Drug Store in Suffolk, Va., to rent preferably to a colored dentist. Is in the best colored residence section of Suffolk. Suffolk has a colored population of about 7,500 including environments and only one colored dentist. WALTER J. MOSIER, Suffolk, Va.

Mr. John Mitchell, Jr.. Richmond Planet. Dear Sir: Of all the white governments of the world, France is the most democratic nation, relative to the black races. Nowhere does any white government give the Negro such liberty, equality and fraternity, as does the mother and leader of real democracy—France. Not simply professing true democracy and denying it to twelve million of her most patriotic black citizens as is done in the United States of America, over which President Wilson presides, the great leader of true democracy for the white race of America—a great government like the United State silent, powerless, when a black man is lynched, or a black woman is lynched and yet sent three millions of men, three thousand miles to teach Europe the true elements of democracy and with the overseas soldiers there were 106,000 young Negroes, the very flower of the Negro race. Were they fighting for jim-crowism lynch-law, segregation, disfranchise- ment? No, for they are the elements of autocracy, against which they fought and died on the battlefields of France. Such treatment as received by the Negro, in the United States constitutes despotism and autocracy and cannot be found in France, not even under the code Napoleon. Respectfully, WILLIAM A. HEWLETT.

We welcome the boys who, Spartan-like in courage, faced death and privation in "No Man's Land." We welcome the boys who slept upon the frozen, bullet-ploughed fields of France. You who went forth to win—to make this wo'd safe for democracy. To you who have returned bringing a white dove of peace upon thy stainless ban nee. You waxed valiant in the fight. They placed you on the Marne but you did not flinch. They placed you en the Alsue but you did not tremble. They placed you before Metz but you did not weaken. You were jim-crowed but did not tog your fighting spirit, but marched like interpid warriors upon the greatest battlefield of the centuries and wherever you fought wrote your names in the conquered earth. We welcome you home, lay aside the bayonet, the grenade, the gas mask. You were brave soldiers in war, be brave citizens in peace. Fix your gaze on Jesus. Catch the vision. Its a vision of empire,—not territorial—put thy sword. This world must be made a neighborhood where one common brotherhood is recognized. True spirit of brotherhood alone will bring about a single race—a single empire, a single tenure, a lynchless land, a warless world. WEST POINT NEWS. (By Mrs. Rosa Davis) West Point, Va., September 16.—Rev. O. B. Sims is spending his vacation in Washington, Pittsburgh and New York. Mrs. O. B.

Ethel Allen has accepted a position in Washington, D. C. Mrs. Mary S. Walker and gon. Wilbur are visiting in Washington, D. C. Mr. Richard Epps and Miss Inez Lee were married last Sunday in Richmond.

Newtown, Va.—The revival services, which have just closed in this section were a blessing to everyone. Quite a large number accepted Christ many backsliders returned and the faithful Christians' strength renewed. Revival services at First Mount Olive were conducted by Rev. W. J. Moss, pastor of Congdon Street Baptist Church, Providence, R. I. As a result of the purity and simplicity of the gospel delivered by Rev. Moss forty-seven were received for baptism and several restored. The best wishes of this community go out in praise and thanks to God for the blessings which came through his servant, Rev. Moss. It pains us to say that Mrs. Emily Holmes, Deacon Charles Taylor and Mr. Warner Monroe are still on the sick list. Mr. Morton Ruffin, of Cauthornville left a few days ago for Trenton, N. J., where he will spend a few weeks. The farmers are now busy saving their crops of corn and tobacco, the latter far below the average. The slogan among those who are preparing for fall crop is, "We need rain." The women of this section have not forgotten the story of the nut and grasshopper, hence they are canning everything from a black-eye pea to a watermelon rine. Their slogan is, "We need sugar." A CALL FOR ANNUAL MEETING Rev. Byron Gunner Issues Call for National Equal Rights League. Kinnern, N. N.—By the consent and authority of the President and of the Executive Committee, I hereby issue this call for the twelfth Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League, to convene in the city of Washington, D. C., Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 23, 24 and 25, 1919. 'All branches of the National Equal Rights League are entitled to representation by as many delegates as they may desire to send. All former members of the League, or former members of any branch thereof, and all other organizations or race bodies, religious, fraternal or civic adopting the principles of the league may become voting members of the convention by offering proof to the credentials committee, by means of credentials or otherwise, establishing this fact and by payment of the registration fee of one dollar for each delegate. It is vitally important that Colored Americans get together as specially as possible. It is equally important that said getting together should be under the direct auspices of the great National Equal Rights League, the ong race organization that was foremost in getting the cause of the oppressed Colored American clearly presented to the World Peace Conference. Let all organizations come affiliated as above provided. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER The only unhampered Colored American who went to France in the interest of our oppressed people was that matchless hero, William Monroe Trotter, of Boston. The account of Mr. Trotter's "under-sea passage" to France and his marvelous achievements while there in behalf of his oppressed people, is the most interesting and remarkable story of era times. Those who may have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to hear that wonderful story will be richly rewarded for their efforts. The race has only one William Monroe Trotter and he is in the forefront of the race's great organization. The recent World War, the Colored American's part in that war, together with some recent race conflicts in this country since the war, have combined and, as it were have "shot" the race question to the very front in the thought and life of our great country. And now, as never before, is the most opportune time for Colored Americans to come together under their own appointed leaders and by united effort, keep our cause to the front until we shall have made America a safe place for us to live in. Meet us in Washington, September 23, 24 and 25. Yours in behalf of the N. E. R. L., BYRON GUNNER, Chairman Executive Committee I have asplendidly located office over Colored Drug Store in Suffolk, Va., to rent preferably to a colored dentist. Is in the best colored residence section of Suffolk. Suffolk has a colored population of about 7,500 including environments and only one colored dentist. WALTER J. NOSIER, Suffolk, Va.

Havre, France, August 25, 1919, Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond Planet. Dear Sir: Of all the white governments of the world, France is the most democratic nation, relative to the black races. Nowhere does any white government give the Negro such liberty, equality and fraternity, as does the mother and leader of real democracy—France. Not simply professing true democracy and denying it to twelve million of her most patriotic black citizens as is done in the United States of America, over which President Wilson presides, the great leader of true democracy for the white race of America—a great government like the United State silent, powerless, when a black man is lynched, or a black woman is lynched and yet sent three millions of men, three thousand miles to teach Europe the true elements of democracy and with the overseas soldiers there were 400,000 young Negroes, the very flower of the Negro race. Were they fighting for jim-crowism lynch-law, segregation, disfranchisement? No, for they are the elements of autocracy, against which they fought and died on the battlefields of France. Such treatment as received by the Negro in the United States constitutes despotism and autocracy and cannot be found in France, not even under the code Napoleon. Respectfully, WILLIAM A. HEWLETT.

TRUE REFORMERS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING The Sth annual session of — the Gkand Fountain of the United Order of ‘True Reformers was held in Rich mond, Va, September 911, 1919. A large and) enthusastic ‘delegation was in attendance, and Grand Mas- ter Woodson presided.

Stanard was voted two weeks vacation with pay and was also given a collection by tho delegation. te It was reported by the Grand See- retary that the Order had” collected for the fiscal year beginning Septem ber Ist, 1918 and onding August 3ist 1919 $26,500.24 and had added 1, 162 new members. The Grand Master in his report made It clear that it was highly im portant that the delegation adopt some plan to wipe out the old out: standing death claims against the Order at the earliest possible date. On Wednesday night an Emergency Rally was held for this purposo und er the direction of Mrs, Marie ¥, Jones of Wimington, Del., and $626.60 were laid on the table. Richmond di vision won the first prize of $25.00 by raising $154.00 the largest amount reported by any division of the Broth erhood over $100.00 Washington Di- vision won the second prize of $15.00 by raising $82.00 the largest. amount reported by any division of the Broth erhood over $75.00 Hagar Fountain of Washington Division won the first Fountain prize of $10.00 by raising $54.00 the largest “amount. reported by an individual Fountain and King Solomon Mountain of Richmond won the secod prize of $5.00 by raising $40.00 the second largest amount re rorted by any individual Pountan, A DRIVE FOR 6,000 NEW MEM BERS AND $25,000 For Tne EMERGENCY FUND.

TWO THE EVERY SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1915 OUR QUEER PRIVATE WAR IN HAYTI AND SAN DOMINGO Hand grenades and machine guns are to be used in subduging the Dominican and the Haytan. Within the very near future 2,500 additional United States marines are to be sent to San Domingo. They will be armed with grenades and the latest machine guns. They will co-operate with the 3,000 marines now in that "re public" in the hope that before the citizens of the United States really learn what is going on the trouble can be brought to an end. There have been marines in San Domingo for three years. There have been, too marines in Haytan for as long. How long they will remain there is a problem that no one can answer now. We'll be here for a hundred years at the rate things are progressing now, remarked a high military official to the writer a short time back. Few in the United States know that we really have "wars" with the Dominicans and the Haytians. The strictest of censorships is maintained, newspaper accounts of happenings on the island—both "republicies" are on the same island—cannot be sent through the mails, officers who have served down there dare not talk of what they have seen or what they experienced. Privates who have served in these sub-tropical places know little of what is going on on the in side and when they do "kick out" and return home their stories are not always wholly coherent or credible. Some day the history of the United States occupation of Hayti and San Domingo will be written. The names of the American boys who have fallen victims to the bullets or knives or machetes of natives will be made known. The almost unbelievable hardships suffered by our troops will be described and then we will ask one another, "What was it all about anyhow?" The Dominicans have not been conquered; nor have the Haytians. Both peoples make an outward show of friendliness; also they spit at a Unit ei States uniform after first assuring themselves that the wearer of that uniform is ignorant of the saliva expelling process. HA'RED FOR AMERICANS Domincan hate the Americans: so do the Haytians. Nothing pleases the citizen of either country more than to take a shot at the wearer of Uncle Sam's livery, provided of course, the shooter is behind an adobe wall or a tree or in the window of a house. Pew snippers though take advantage of this "house" business; the risk is too great. Neither the Domincan nor the Haytian is a good shot. They shoot from the hip and take a chance. It's good for the United States marines that such is the case, else there would have been—would be in the future—more of them killed or wounded. There are high offices in the marine service now stationed in these "Spig goty" countries who would give nearly all they possess to be permitted to tell their stories. They would tell the results of their personal observations during the time they have been there. These men would tell of "leather-necks" who have gone insane while out in the brush searching for the will of the wisp bandits who infest the country. They would describe the restraints that have been heaped up on the sea soldiers, these being forced to "treat the natives with forbearance and kindness, no matter what happens" as ordered by Admiral Knapp, until recently Military Govor of San Domingo. They would tell too, of the utter uselessness of the marines being in San Domoingo a country that under existing conditions is to Americans an infer no of heat and loneliness and madness And the worst of it all is that few of the "leathernecks"—this meaning of officers as well as buck privates—know what it is about. They do not know why they are in San Domingo. They—that is, some of them—have a vague idea that they are in this land to enforce the payment of a debt said to be owing to their country, the United States. They recall snatches of talk they have heard of some $20,000,000 due to Uncle Sam from the Dominicans; and they know too, that the United States government is in charge of the customs on the island. Still, if the military establishment in San Domingo was merely for the purpose of collecting a bad debt, why it is asked is there such a rigid corsiship maintained? In their balmiest days the censors who flaunted the people of the States in regard to the happenings of the great war in Europe had nothing on the gentlemen who are in charge at San Domingo—in Havi. Hundreds of letters written by enlisted men to their folks back in the States never get further than theensor's wastebasket. They are keenly or wholly macerated before going that far. Readors of the Herald will recel the interview given out by the late Theodore Roosevelt along in November of last year, which had to do, according to the former President with "President Wilson's private wars in San Domingo and Hayti." Every fort I understand was made to keep this statement away from the islands. And these efforts almost succeeded—almost but not quite. A copy of a Washington daily newspaper used in packing merchandise reached Puerto Plata just before Christmas, the man getting it advertising the fact that "Teddy had gone after the President. This article was widely read and commented upon. Most of the officers who were in San Domingo when I was on the Is land were of the old stock of marines—fighting men every man of them. They couldn't understand why, when there were real doings over on "the other side" they were shunted down into the midst of a flock of "spigoties" with nothing but bush fighting and bush whacking to relieve the monotony. At one time it had been possible for the fighters to "go out on a jam and then shoot up a section of what ever town they happened to be stationed in. But this sort of pleasure is boree" to amass a skinful of bad rum denied them now; less than a year ago a "no booze" order was promulgated from Washington. Rum is the chief aim of the Domineans. A license to dispose the fiery stuff costs something like $50 a year. Before one can sell cigars one must first pay the $400 license fee demanded. They grow what many consider the best to bacoe in the world in San Domingo, too. One buck private one who had been reduced from a top sergeancy for a reason that I will tell later on told me:— "Why, there used to be lots of fun here. We had all night liberty and as *soon* as a fellow got away from the fort he could go down town, get properly jingled and then start shooting up the town. We never shot, to hit any of the 'Spigs' but we did like to chase them inside of their houses. Then we would shoot up the electric lights which are lighted only when the moon is not shining. Sometimes one of the natives would take a shot at us; and then we would sure have a gorious time!" SOME AMAZING TALES The marine came from a town with in twelve miles of Pittsburgh. When I met him he was serving his third "hitch." He was a rather talkative person and possessed a deadly haired for Dominicans and things Dominican. And the same applied to Hayti and Haytians. He was with Butter and Waller when Hayti was first in would certainly stir up the good folks vaded; and the tales he told of what happened in that Negro republic of the States were they made public. Here is one story told to me by a marine and which is offered here for what it is worth: "I had a buddy," said my friend, 'of whom I thought the world. We went through all the rough stuff in Hayti—and let me tell you it was some rough after we started to clean up. We worked together all the time we slept to gether and we fought for each other. I tell you, I thought more of that buddy than I did of any other living thing. During the raid we made through Hayti when lots of our fellows were humped off we made an agreement that if the Haytians got one of us the other would not rest until he had taken his revenge—had venged his pat's death. And what made me go crazy after my friend was picked off in Puerto Prince by a skulking assassin was the fact that we had gone through hell and had come through alive. But an 'amigo' hiding behind the walls of an adobe shack got Tommie and then,—well I didn't care what became of me! "That night I picked up a few tumblers of rum and after thinking the matter over decided I was going to start a little war of my own. You know how they do down in these countries; how they plaster on the taleum powder an inch thick and then start on their parades around the town square or plaza. Sometimes there is a band concert, and some times there isn't. But concert or no the natives keep milling and milling and milling, getting up a sweat the stench of which turns the stomach of any honest to goodness American who happens near them. "The moon wasn't shinning the night I selected for action," continued Jack the Avenger so I was in luck. I had determined to get as many blacks as it was possible to get before they got me. I firmly expected to go along with them; but I didn't care. "At first I considered the idea of picking them off with a rifle. This would be too slow I decided; a ma chine gun would be better. And a chine gun it was." "I got eighty-nine of them before a marine officer laid me out with a bump on the head, using his revolver to hand out the bump. There was excitement to peddle and for a time it looked as though there was going to be hell in general. You know we really were at war with those Haitians; they were killing us and we were killing them. I guess I was a bit hasty; but—well it was all in the game. I was court martialled of course. But the action against me wasn't very spirited. Our fellows knew that the Haytians were taking advantage of every opportunity to bump off mariners and that the greatest treachery was in evidence on their part at all times. That's why I guess I was let off with a mere reduction to the ranks." HE KILLED FIVE This same marine it was who killed five Dominicans in the streets of Santiago some time after his being transferred to that city. These victims were prisoners and were being used on street work near the fort which houses the American forces there. Our friend was in charge of a bunch of six prisoners and was given a job of filling in a cut near the road THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA leading up to the fort. Of the six 'Spilgs' five were political prisoners—men who had been found bearing arms or having arms in their homes. They had been acting ugly for some time and their guard was ordered to be on the quivile. The break camp after the felons started to work. They went with a rush down Son Luis street. It must not be understood that the Dominicans and marines are at It, all the time. Such is not the case. A month, two months may pass and there won't be a happening to disturb the serenity of the situation. Again, it may be that there will be a spell during which the "handtits" as they are terend, will evince all kinds of activity keeping the American fighters as well as their supporters the Guardia Nacional on the jump continuously. For somehow or other, the Dominicans cannot reconcile themselves to the idea that they are getting a "square deal." They resent the presence in their midst of an armed force representing an alien nation. They are intensely patriotic and belive they should be permitted to work out their own salvation. "What mattres it" they argue. "If we do have our revolutions and kill one another off? Others spring up to take the places of the ones killed in battle. We have been happy in our ignorance for years; we have been patriotic; our sons and daughters have been brought up and educated. Why, then, should we be forced to suffer the presence of these armed men from the United States a country with which we are not at war?" Peculiarly enough one cannot find any person in authority in the States who will admit that the government of Uncle Sam is "at war" with the Dominican government. Here's the way the matter was explained to me by a high official down in the island: "At war? certainly not. The marines go everywhere and when they land, such a procedure does not mean that the United States has declared war upon the country invested. Of course, if the army landed men in a foreign country that would be different. But the marines—oh, my not! We're not at war with San Domingo! According to the statement of a high Dominican official to the writer, the United States to use the vernacular, "pulled a boner" when the occupation of San Domingo was effected. Here's the story as I heard it. REASON FOR THE "WAR." The President of the island was helped to glory by some of his over zealous fellow countrymen and a successor was needed. At that time San Domingo had a "House and a /Senate." The Senator representing Puerto Plata was well liked throughout the island and was the especial pet of his hometown people. Immediately he was selected to take the place of the murdered Prest dent. There were four years of the latter's term remaining. The Puerto Plata man was not selected for these four years; rather he was placed in office on trial. He was given to understand that his tenure of office would depend upon him self. One year was the limit if he failed to "make good." If, at the end of that year his administration of fairs had been satisfactory he would he reappointed for the remaining 3 years. However, Dominicans are all ambitions. Give them a taste of power and they are willing to fight for a mouthful of the same. And so it was with the President by accident. After being in office for something like ten months he issued a manifesto announcing that he intended hanging onto the job and that he defied the powers of light and darkness—this meaning all of San Domingo—to oust him. "That defiance was the spark that ignited the train leading to the magazine. Immediately the Dominicans were up in arms. "Can it be said," they asked, "that this bad man whom we were gracious enough to permit to serve us shall now appoint himself our master. We the free people of San Domingo? Let it not be so. Down with the tyrant! Viva Libertad!" First of all the usurper gathered about him a few hundred of his backers and proceeded to arm them. There was in the government arsenal a few pieces of antiquated artillery, among the lot two or three six pounders. The Puerto Platans, patriots and fighters, willing to brawl at the drop of a cigarette butt, were not slow in picking up the gauge of battle. They, too bad arms—and what Dominican didn't? And so the war was on. Some word of the threatening cut break had reached Washington and orders had been despatched to the marine commander at Guantanamo, Cuba, to proceed forthwith to the Dominican coast and to stand by, ready for eventualities. Two separate contigents of "leathernecks" were sent—one to Puerto Plata and another to Monte Christi the latter city being the closest to the States and immediate to the Hayton coast. The army of the President was on camped on a hill back of Puerto Plata when the United States forces drew into the harbor at that place. The usurper had issued an ultimatum giving the citizens of the city until two o'clock of that afternoon to surrender. A refusal on their part meant according to the President that the city would be shelled from the guns then in hand. The American commander was apprised of these conditions. He depatched a courier to the President stating that the first gun fired would result in the landing of marines and the general cleaning out of the belli gerents. A HARD BLOW This was a body blow. The Dominini cans had heard of the work of the marines in Haiti, their neighboring republic and they didn't hanker vex. keenly after any of the same. But these island people are not given to showing the white feather. They are brave to foolishness; life to them means little as long as their honor remains unsullied and they are fighting for what they believe to be just and right. And so it was with the man who wanted to remain as President. While he knew that he wouldn't stand as much chance as a wax cut in a cairn warm climate, he nevertheless hesitated over agreeing to the terms offered by the representative of Uncle Sam—the being unconditional surender. Just there fate took a hand. The guns which were mounted to cover the city of Puerto Plata had not been fired for some time. The soldiers were aching to start something and they could not understand why the President did not order the war to begin. One man after imbibing more than an ordinary man's share of rum he gan to哭. With tears coursing down his jetty cheeks he begged to know why this and that was so and why there had been no opportunity for kinsoft and his mates to show their bravery, their skill with the big guns. This thought became an obsession with the lachrymose one. "By Cristofer Colon!" he ejaculated, "must L. whose forebears landed in this paradise of a land with the great discoverer stand by and listen to the orders of the Yankee dogs from another land? Let it not be so!" A few minutes later this man had "begun the war." Under cover of dark ness he sidled up to one of the larg est guns loaded the same with an ex explosive shell and bing! a house or two in the city had been unroofed and confusion cane. Hardly had the echo of this shot died away when the war ship in the harbor hopped into action. A slave of six pounders was sent back into the hills and then to quote one of thir marines who took part in the crates, "there was hell to pay." Strangely enough —or was it strange?— the partiots who had been opposing the usurper's advance, turned in against the Yankees immediately the latter showed their teeth. Com manding the harbor at Puerto Plata is an old fort, a relic of Spanish days —a fort that is probably two hundred years old. It still is strong and for mildable if well manned; and thither rushed the Dominicans to oppose the landing of the Americans. LANDING THE MARINES Unfortunately the harbor is wide open, and prior to a year ago it was necessary to anchor at least a half mile out because of the shallow water. And this is what the marines were up against. As their boats left the war ship they were shining marks for the natives of the fort, and the fact that only a few of the Yanks were hit was due more to the poor aim of their enemies than to lack of opportunity to pleck them off. One thing that worried the Ameri can commander was the sight of a great gun mounted on a small hillock at the sea side of the fort. This looked as big as a six inch piece and as minute succeeded minute and there was no great shell sent hurling in their direction the Americans wond ered why. Orders were given the gunners aboard the war ship to "get that big gun," and although a score or more efforts were made the big gun is still there. Afterward this gun was found to be of ancient vintage and out of commission. At first the American commander was anxious to wound as few of the Dominicans as possible. Orders were to "shoot high" and the marines obeyed. But the going became hotter and hotter until finally the gunners were instructed to place a few shells in side the fort. This they did with neatness and despatch and soon the fracas was terminated. When the Yankee forces invested the city they at once took possession of the fort. Thier presence sent the Dominicans into a wild rage. Still the natives were helpless opposed to a superior force and a force that was armed with modern guns, with field pieces and with machine guns to pedle. What could they do? In the meantime the force that had landed at Monte Christi was indulging in a forced march through the hills and over almost impassable roads to the direction of Santiago. They marched night and day resting only when the men were too tired to keep going. They reached their objective two or three days after Puerto Plata had been taken, and there was little or no trouble experienced in including the officials of the city to surrender. This Santiago place is one of the show places of the island. In the business section of the city there is hardly a building that doesn't show the scars of battle. The old cathedral said to have been erected more than one hundred years ago flanks the public park on the south, while on the north is the barracks of the Guardian Nacional, a body composed of native and performing functions some thing like those which fall to the lot of the New York or Pennsylvania State Constabulary. On the west of the park is the Governor's Palace and the City Hall. On the east is another church. Most of these buildings are bautiful of wood and adobe, or concrete. The outer layer is of this plaster stuff and there is hardly a square foot of eith er the cathedral the barracks or the church that doesn't show signs of bullets and heavier shot. The cathedral in particular is riddled. So, after taking the island San Domingo City, in the South, the capital of the republic having fallen with out trouble the Americans had a proposition on the rhands. Communication was had with Washington at once. The exact situation was made clear to the officials and instructions were asked for. In the last time some of the better class of Dominicans began to take heart. They were satisfied that their big brother of the North would see justice was meted out to them and that they would be permitted to select their President and to administer their own affairs. The insurging President would surely get what was coming to him. In fact, a demand was formally made that he who by this time was under the protection of the Stars and Stripes be turned over to his fellow countrymen that he might be properly punished. Imagine then the disgust, the rage the manical fury of the islanders when came from Washington instructions to the American commander to see to it that the pretender to the Presidency be placed back in power and held there by force of arms if necessary. For that is exactly what happened the man who failed of the trust reposed in him; the man who treacherously betrayed his friends, his fellow countrymen and his country was thrust down the throats of a protesting people and held fast there by superior force. The excuse has since been made so I was informed, that this "President" person had promised to see that the $20,000,000 of debt claimed by the United States would be paid. However, something must have hap pened for there is now no President in San Domingo, no Senators and not representatives. The United Stat es military force is the "whole works, (N. Y.

WRITE TODAY to THE EXCELSIOR MANUFACTURING CO., 265 South Bland Street, Bluefield, West Virginia TWO THE LAST SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1919 OUR QUEER PRIVATE WAR IN HAYTI AND SAN DOMINGO Hand grenades and machine guns are to be used in subjugating the Dominican and the Haytian. Within the very near future 2,500 additional United States marines are to be sent to San Domingo. They will be armed with grenades and the latest machine guns. They will co-operate with the 3,000 marines now in that "we public" in the hope that before the citizens of the United States really learn what is going on the trouble can be brought to an end. There have been marines in San Domingo for three years. There have been, too marines in Haytii for as long. How long they will remain there is a problem that no one can answer now. We'll be here for a hundred years at the rate things are progressing now, remarked a high military official to the writer a short time back. Few in the United States know that we really have "wars" with the Dominicans and the Haytians. The strictest of censorships is maintained, newspaper accounts of happenings on the island—both "republics" are on the same island—cannot be sent through the mails, officers who have served down there dare not talk of what they have seen or what they experienced. Privates who have served in these subtropical places know little of what is going on on the in side and when they do "kick out" and return home their stories are not always wholly coherent or credible. Some day the history of the United States occupation of Hayti and San Domingo will be written. The names of the American boys who have fallen victims to the bullets or knives or machetes of natives will be made known. The almost unbelievable hardships suffered by our troops will be described and then we will ask one another, "What was it all about anyhow?" The Dominicans have not been conquered; nor have the Haytians. Both peoples make an outward show of friendliness; also they spit at a United States uniform after first assuring themselves that the wearer of that uniform is ignorant of the saliva expelling process. HARED FOR AMERICANS Domincan hate the Americans: so do the Hayhians. Nothing pleases the citizen of either country more than to take a shot at the wearer of Uncle Sam's livery, provided of course, the shooter is behind an adobe wall or a tree or in the window of a house. Few riflers though take advantage of this "house" business; the risk is too great. Neither the Dominican nor the Haytian is a good shot. They shoot from the hip and take a chance. It's good for the United States marines that such is the case, else there would have been—would be in the future—more of them killed or wounded. There are high offices in the marine service now stationed in these "Spigig goty" countries who would give nearly all they possesses to be permitted to tell their stories. They would tell the results of their personal observations during the time they have been there. These men would tell of "leather necks" who have gone insane while out in the brush searching for the will of the wisp bandits who infest the country. They would describe the restraints that have been heaped up on the sea soldiers, those being forced to "treat the natives with forbance and kindness, no matter what happens" as ordered by Admiral Knapp, until recently Military Governor of San Domingo. They would tell too, of the utter uselessness of the marines being in San Domingo a country that under existing conditions is to Americans an infer no of heat and loneliness and madness And the worst of it all is that few of the "leathernecks"—this meaning offières as well as buck privates—know what it is about. They do not know why they are in San Domingo. They—that is, some of them—have a vague idea that they are in this land to enforce the payment of a debt said to be owing to their country, the United States. They recall snatches of talk they have heard of some $20,000,000 due to Uncle Sam from the Dominicans; and they know too, that the United States government is in charge of the customs on the island. Still, if the military establishment in San Domingo was merely for the purpose of collecting a bad debt, why it is asked is there such a rigid corsorship maintained? In their balm-lest days the censors who flaunted the happenings of the States in regard to the happenings of the great war in Eur ope had nothing on the gentlemen who are in charge at San Domingo—in Haiti. Hundreds of letters written by on listed men to their folks back in the States never get further than the censor's wastebasket. They are keenly or wholly macerated before going that far. Rendors of the Herald will recall the interview given out by the late Theodore Roosevelt along in November of last year, which had to do, according to the former President with "President Wilson's private wars in San Domingo and Hayti." Every effort I understand was made to keep this statement away from the islands. And these efforts almost succeeded—almost but not quite. A copy of a Washington daily newspaper used in packing merchandise reached Puerto Plata just before Christmas, the man getting it advertising the fact that "Teddy had gone after the President." This article was widely read and commented upon. Most of the officers who were in San Domingo when I was on the Is land were of the old stock of marines—fighting men every man of them. They couldn't understand why, when there were real doings over on "the other side" they were shunted down into the midst of a flock of "spigoties" with nothing but bush fighting and bush whacking to relieve the monotony. At one time it had been possible for the fighters to "go out on a jam and then shoot up a section of what ever town they happened to be stat ioned in. But this sort of pleasure is boree" to amass a skinful of bad rum denied them now; less than a year ago a "no booze" order was promulgated from Washington. Rum is the chief aim of the Dominicans. A license to dispose the fiery stuff costs something like $50 a year. Before one can sell cigars one must first pay the $400 license fee demanded.

During the raid we made through Hayti when lots of our fellows were bumped off we made an agreement that if the Haytians got one of us the other would not rest until he had taken his revenge—had venged his pat's death. And what made me go crazy after my friend was picked off in Puerto Prince by a skulking assassin was the fact that we had gone through hell and had come through alive. But an 'amigo' hiding behind the walls of an adobe shack got 'Tommie' and then,—well I didn't care what because of me! "That night I picked up a few tumblers of rum and after thinking the matter over decided I was going to start a little war of my own. You know how they do down in these countries; how they plaster on the talum powder an inch thick and then start on their parades around the town square or plaza. Sometimes there is a band concert, and some times there isn't. But concert or no the natives keep milling and milling and milling, getting up a sweat the stench of which turns the stomach of any honest to goodness American who happens near them. "The moon wasn't shinning the night I selected for action," continued Jack the Avenger so I was in luck. I had determined to get as many blacks as it was possible to get before they got me. I firmly expected to go along with them; but I didn't care. "At first I considered the idea of picking them off with a rifle. This would be too slow I decided; a ma chine gun would be better. And a chine gun it was ." "I got eighty-nine of them before a marine officer laid me out with a bump on the head, using his revolver to hand out the bump. There was excitement to paddle and for a time it looked as though there was going to be hell in general. You know we really were at war with those fhayt ans; they were killing us and we were killing them. I guess I was a bit hasty; but—well it was all in the game. I was court martialled of course.

The marine said never awd. Swing ing his automatic pistol from its hot ster at his side he began picking off the fugitives. Five shots were fired—five that's all. Five Dominicans were buried the next day. It must not be understood that the Dominicans and marines are at it. all the time. Such is not the case. A month, two months may pass and there won't be a happening to disturb the serenity of the situation. Again, it may be that there will be a spell during which the "bandits" as they are terend, will evince all kinds of activity keeping the American fighters as well as their supporters the Guardia Nacional on the jump continuously. For somehow or other, the Dominicans cannot reconcile themselves to the idea that they are getting a "square deal." They resent the presence in their midst of an armed force representing an alien nation. They are intensely patriotic and belive they should be permitted to work out their own salvation. "What mattres it" they argue. "if we do have our revolutions and kill one another off? Others spring up to take the places of the ones killed in battle.

According to the statement of a high Dominican official to the writer, the United States to use the vernacular, "pulled a boner" when the occupation of San Domingo was effected. Here's the story as I heard it. REASON FOR THE "WAR." The President of the island was helped to glory by some of his over zealous fellow countrymen and a successor was needed. At that time San Domingo had a "House and a "/Senate." The Senator representing Puerto Plata was well liked throughout the island and was the especial pet of his hometown people. Immediately he was selected to take the place of the murdered President. There were four years of the latter's term remaining. The Puerto Plata man was not selected for these four years; rather he was placed in office on trial. He was given to understand that his tenure of office would depend upon him self. One year was the limit if he failed to "make good." If, at the end of that year his administration of affairs had been satisfactory, he would fairs had been satisfactory he would be reappointed for the remaining 3 years. However, Dominicans are all ambitions. Give them a taste of power and they are willing to fight for a mouthful of the same. And so it was with the President by accident. After being in office for something like ten months he issued a manifesto announcing that he intended hanging onto the job and that he defied the powers of light and darkness—this meaning all of San Diego—to oust him. "That defiance was the spark that ignited the train leading to the mag azine. Immediately the Dominicans were up in arms. "Can it be said," they asked, "that this bad man whom we were gracious enough to permit to serve us shall now appoint himself our master. We the free people of San Donnitos? Let it not be so. Down with the tyrant! Viva Libertad!" First of all the usurper gathered about him a few hundred of his backers and proceeded to arm them. There was in the government arsenal a few pieces of antiquated artillery, among the lot two or three six pounds. The Puerto Platans, patriots and fighters, willing to brave at the drop of a cigarette butt, were not slow in picking up the gauge of battle. They, too had arms—and what Dominican didn't? And so the war was on. Some word of the threatening cut break had reached Washington and orders had been despatched to the marine commander at Guantanamo, Cuba, to proceed forthwith to the Dominican coast and to stand by, ready for eventualities. Two separate contigents of "leathernecks" were sent—one to Puerto Plata and another to Monte Christi the latter city being the closest to the States and immediate to the Uaytican coast. The army of the President was en camped on a hill back of Puerto Plata when the United States forces drew into the harbor at that place. The usurper had issued an ultimatum giving the citizens of the city until two o'clock of that afternoon to surrender. A refusal on their part meant according to the President that the city would be shelled from the guns then in hand. The American commander was apprised of these conditions. He despatched a courier to the President stating that the first gun fired would result in the landing of marines and the general cleaning out of the belli gerents. A HARD BLOW This was a body blow. The Dominic cans had heard of the work of the marines in Huvit, their neighboring republic and they didn't hanker yoy keenly after any of the same. But these island people are not given to showing the white feather. They are brave to foolishness; life to them means little as long as their honor remains unsullied and they are fighting for what they believe to be just and right. And so it was with the man who wanted to remain as President. While he knew that he wouldn't stand as much chance as a wax cut in a cerain warm climate, he nevertheless hesitated over agreeing to the terms offered by the representative of Uncle Sam—the being unconditional sur render. Just there fate took a hand. The guns which were mounted to cover the city of Puerto Plata had not been fired for some time. The soldiers were aching to start something and they could not understand why the President did not order the war to begin. One man after imbbling more than an ordinary man's share of rum he gan to哭. With tears coursing down his jetty checks he hegged to know why this and that was so and why there had been no opportunity for binsoff and his mates to show their bravery, their skill with the big guns. This thought became an obsession with the lachrymose one. "By Cristofer Colon!" he ejaculated, "must L. whose forebears landed in this paradise of a land with the great discoverer stand by and listen to the orders of the Yankee dogs from another land? Let it not be so!" A few minutes later this man had "begun the war." Under cover of darkness he sided up to one of the larg est guns headed the game with an explosive shell and bing! a house or two in the city had been unroofed and conflagration came. Hardly had the echo of this shot died away when the war ship in the harbor hopped into action. A slave of six pointers was sent back into the hills and then to quote one of th- marines who took part in the fractas, "there was hell to pay." Strangely enough —or was it strange?— the partiots who had been opposing the usurper's advance, turned in against the Yankees immediately the latter showed their teeth. Comanding the harbor at Puerto Plata is an old fort, a relic of Spanish days—a fort that is probably two hundred years old. It still is trong and for midable if well manned; and thither rushed the Dominicans to oppose the landing of the Americans. LANDING THE MARINES Unfortunately the harbor is wide open, and prior to a year ago it was necessary to anchor at least a half mile out because of the shallow water. And this is what the marines were up against. As their boats left the war ship they were shining marks for the natives of the fort, and the fact that only a few of the Yanks were hit was due more to the poor aim of their enemies than to lack of opportunity to pick them off. One thing that worried the Ameri can commander was the sight of a great gun mounted on a small hillock at the sea side of the fort. This looked as big as a six inch piece and as minute succeeded minute and there was no great shell sent hurling in their direction the Americans wont ered why. Orders were given the gunners aboard the war saip to "get that big gun," and although a score or more efforts were made the big gun is still there. Afterward this gun was found to be of ancient vintage and out of commission. At first the American commander was anxious to wound as few of the Dominicans as possible. Orders were to "shoot high" and the marines obeyed. But the going became hotter and hotter until finally the gunners were instructed to place a few shells in side the fort. This they did with neatness and despatch and soon the fracas was terminated. When the Yankee forces invested the city they at once took possession of the fort. Thier presence sent the dominicans into a wild rage. Still the natives were helpless opposed to a superior force and a force that was armed with modern guns, with field pieces and with machine guns to pedle. What could they do? In the meantime the force that had landed at Monte Christi was indulging in a forced march through the hills and over almost impassable roads to the direction of Santiago. They marched night and day resting only when the men were too tired to keep going. They reached their objective two or three days after Puerto Plata had been taken, and there was little or no trouble experienced in including the officials of the city to surrender. This Santiago place is one of the show places of the island. In the business section of the city there is hardly a building that doesn't show the scars of battle. The old cathedral said to have been erected more than one hundred years ago flanks the pub lie park on the south, while on the north is the barracks of the Guardian Nacional, a body composed of natives and performing functions something like those which fall to the lot of the New York or Pennsylvania State Constabulary. On the west of the park is the Governor's Palace and the City Hall. On the east is another church. Most of these buildings are built of wood and adobe, or concrete. The outer layer is of this plaster stuff and there is hardly a square foot of eith or the cathedral the barracks or the church that doesn't show signs of but fels and heavier shot. The cathedral in particular is riddled. So, after taking the island San Domingo City, in the South, the capital of the republic having fallen with out trouble the Americans had a proposition on the rihands. Communication was had with Washington at once. The exact situation was made clear to the officials and instructions were asked for. In the last time some of the better class of Dominicans began to take heart. They were satisfied that their big brother of the North would see justice was meted out to them and that they would be permitted to select their President and to administer their own affairs. The usurping President would surely get what was coming to him. In fact, a demand was formally made that he who by this time was under the protection of the Stars and Stripes be turned over to his fellow countrymen that he might be properly punished. Imagine the disgust, the rage the manical fury of the islanders when came from Washington instructions to the American commander to see to it that the pretender to the Presidency be placed back in power and held there by force of arms if necessary. For that is exactly what happened the man who failed of the trust reposed in him; the man who treacherously betrayed his friends, his fellow countrymen and his country was thrust down the throats of a protesting people and held fast there by superior force. The excuse has since been made so I was informed, that this "President" person had promised to see that the $20,000,000 of debt claimed by the United States would be paid. However, something must have happened for there is now no President in San Domingo, no Senators and not representatives. The United Stat es military force is the "whole works, (N. Y.

The primary election in New York City on September 2nd nominated two colored men for New York State Legislature and two colored men for the Board of Aldermen. Notwithstanding that only one of the candidates named by the United Civic League was successful in nomination three other colored candidates were nominated, making in all, four. The result was a great victory for the principles for which the League stands and has fought for six straight years, and which required an iron will as well as, an abundance of course Though the United Civic League has been opposed at every turn by the regular old line organization, denied patronage or favor, that little band of determined men and women each year pressed the claims and justice of the colored voters' cause until the two assembly districts and the two aldermanic districts appexing in colored Harlem are now controlled by the colored Republican voters. It is a clear exposition of what organized effort among colored people can accomplish. The United Civic League has been fought by Republican machine, the Republican newspapers, the Republican captains and other interests but in spite of it all this organization, organized by John M. Royall in 1913 and who is now its leader, has never faltered. It sent Honorable Edward A. Johnson the first colored Assemblyman to the New York State Legislature in 1917. It sent Honorable John Clifford Hawkins to the N. Y. State Legislature, the 2nd colored Assemblyman in 1918 and it is the work of that Organization which forced the Republican machine to consider four colored men this year. The United Civic League's slogan now is "on to Congress," we need voice in national matters and it feels that one should be sent from New York and one from Chicago in 1920. S. W.

Hunter, Colored Freed After Being in Jail 6 Months. Denouncing in unmeasured terms the action of the police department in holding an innocent man in jail for six months, without presenting his case to the grand jury, Associate Justice Gould presiding in criminal division 1 of the District Supreme Court yesterday ordered the discharge from further custody of Thomas W. Hunter colored accused of robbery. Hunter was arrested February 28 last charged with robbing Abraham Kalker of $18 on January 11. He was held to await the action of the grand jury but when his case was reached for presentation to that body the police admitted a mistake had been made in arresting him. Immediate steps were thereupon taken by the United States district attorney's office to have Hunter released. Assistant District Attorney Mason suggested that he be allowed to go on his own recognition. "He shall do nothing of the sort" declared |Associate Justice Gould. "His case is dismissed and the police owe him an opology for arresting him without any evidence against him. Such action on their part makes the administration of justice a reproach." Thereupon Hunter left the court room a free man. It remains to be seen whether he has any legal redress. (Washington, D. C. Post Sept. 11, 1919.

There ar₀ so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an export chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinad, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seoby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuzzy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seoby's Quinad and Seoby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstrict or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mall them to you.

This is an old world, but there is always something that you can learn about it. If some of us could make money as fast as we lose it, we would be well to do in a short while.

Some people work so little that they do not get up enough blood circulation to keep themselves warm. You may do wrong today, but punishment will come tomorrow or the next day or the day thereafter. The Boston police did not seem to know that they could legally resign but they could not lawfully strike. Some people who are not satisfied when they are doing poorly are not satisfied when they are doing well. Most people like deception. They prefer to have the wrong thing told them rather than the right thing. Efficient police officers should be paid good salaries and the in-efficient ones should not be employed at all. Some people will not do right for pay and they will do wrong without pay,—or with pay, so long as they know they are doing wrong. Some people are so contrary that their feet will not move the same way. They even walk slew-footed or bow legged. The young folks of today may be like the young folks of yesterday, but they do appear to be much different to the average observer. Hen Cimmett J. Scott is mighty quiet since he went on that Howard University job. Even Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has let him alone these days. When a colored American citizen is not permitted to go aboard an American war-ship, there is some thing rotten in Denmark." People, who enslave themselves for others are least appreciated by those people for whom they suffer until they are dead and in somebody's cemetery. Senator Hiram Johnson of California is "holy terror" on the stump and no one knows it better than the distinguished occupant of the White House. Remember that when you came into this world, you brought nothing with you and some of us have had nothing since, but what some other folks gave This government is said to be running out of money. This means that more demands will be made upon the people who have green backs or other kinds of money. Many people are of the opinion that President Wilson's tour of the country at this time is preliminary to his announcement of his candidacy for re-election in 1920. It is no use to worry about our "ups and downs" these days. We shall all be in heaven after a while, where we shall rest from our labors and from our troubles. Women are now demanding all of the rights and privileges of men and some of them are demanding too all of the wrongs and the forbidden fruit of this same class of people. People are not bothered now about whether the sun moves or whether it stands still. They know that it has gone out forever to the millions, who lost their lives across the seas. Discussing a subject with the aver age female is like moving around in a circle. It will not be long before you will be back at the starting point again. Some men are the same way. Rev. A. A. Galvin, D. D., of Dan ville Va. has been called to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church of Newport News, Va. That church will be lucky if it can secure his services. We all talk about heaven as a glorious place, but most of us prefer the other fellow going over there to enjoy the milk and honey and the paved streets of gold and the glorious times that they say folks have who go there. The kings emperors and presidents of black empires and republics would do well not to come to this country for the proper official recognition. They embarrass a Democratic President who has a black and a colored hating constituency behind him. Even the Japanese come in for a share of their contempt. Congressman Andrew Jackson Mongue is representing this Third Congressional District to the infinite satifaction of both the white and the colored people. If President Wilson wants an astute Attorney General or Secretary of State, he will find the right kind of ability in the accomplished product of Old Virginia. Gen. Joseph L. Jones of Ohio, the most popular presiding officer the Grand Court Order of Calanthe ever had is not feeling good these days. From the way he is telling it, he has just cause for complaint, but he is shrewdly keeping his feelings and his passions under control. If he is able to control Ohio as well as he seems to be controlling himself, there may be trouble in the future for somebody. When you find that, you can not get along with some people, the best thing to do is to let them go there way and you go your way. This will apply to members of one's own family. There is no need of any particular ill-feeling about the matter. The Allied Nations are awaiting the ratification of the Peace Treaty that President Wilson promised he would have ratified after he had had the time of his life in securing its approval at Versailles. Over there, President Wilson had more than one hundred million dollars at his disposal, but over here it is doubtful THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA if he has one hundred thousand dollars for use and service. President Wilson no doubt feels about the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations, after the United States Senators have gotten through with it, very much like a husband feels after an angry wife gets through with giving her opinion of him and his actions. Either the Senate or the President of the United States has made a mess of it. A person who has nothing must be happy these days, for they are free from annuance by the city tax collector, the state assessor and the United States Government Bureau official. They can sit out in the sun shine and cooingly sing, "Every day will be Sunday bye and bye." Colored folks are as thick as black berries in the Southland and as pleniful as apples on the trees in some portions of the Northland. Judging by their troubles, they occupy most of the best seats in Heaven for punishment is not for them there. They got theirs in double quantity while residing upon the earth with its troubles, trials and tribulations at the hands of the Nero haters. White folks down here are opposing woman suffrage because colored women will have the right to vote. The argue that the preponderance of colored women in some counties will show itself at the polls. We used to think so too, but a bitter experience has taught us otherwise. Even white men cannot vote in some sections of this happy land unless they vote in accordance with the wishes of the dominant party and when they do succeed in voting, they express an opinion one way and when the count is had it is found to be another. The talk about majority rule is a joke and the colored folks of the Southland know it. "Quit your kidding." A United States destroyer came to this city and cast anchor. During its stay last week, visitors were permitted to go aboard, but these visitors were confined strictly to white people. When the officer in charge was approached and asked about the matter he informed the questioner that this was done on orders from Washington. It will be extremely interesting to know the facts in this case. The colored citizen who was denied admission to the vessel had been particularly active in promoting the sale of government bonds to pay the salaries and expenses of the very men who denied him and his people admission to this war vessel. A National Ruce Congress has been called to meet Tuesday, October 7th, 1919 in Washington, D.C. It will be a great meeting if the arrangements of the promoters are carried out. An effort is being made to lift a defense fund to the amount of a quarter of a million dollars. Editor William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Mass., will no doubt be a central figure in this aggregation of race lenders. Certain it is that this is an opportune time to voice protests and to call for an amelioration of present day conditions. Despite the aggravations and persecutions if a spirit of conservatism pervades the meeting to the extent that our white friends, not our white enemies shall have little cause for criticism or complaint, all will be well and much good will be done. THE PEACE TREATY AND THE COVENANT. The Treaty of Peace with Germany and the League of Some Nations are having "rough shedding" in the United States Senate. President Wilson is making the effort of his life in trying to save both from defeat. The present plan of the Committee on Foreign Relations is to amend this treaty and then to ratify it with the amendments included. It takes only a majority vote to amend the documents, but it will take a two thirds vote to ratify it. This will place the administration's forces in a most embarrassing position. They have claimed that Senator Lodge and his supporters have been and are now determined not to vote for the ratification of the treaty and League covenant, but they will proceed to support both after the amendments and reservations recommended by the aforesaid committee have been included in the revised document. In the meantime, this will cause the supporters of President Wilson to either decline to vote for their own measures or to withhold their votes. In a last desperate effort to save the work of the Versailles Peace Conference, President Woodrow Wilson has been conducting a campaign for its ratification in many States. He hoped to arouse public sentiment in favor of the measures to such an extent as to cause some of the Senators to reverse their positions and to change their attitude. While he has addressed immense sympathetic crowds in the western country, he has steadily lost ground in the United States Senate, where the voting is to take place. It is now announced that nine Democratic Senators will combine with forty-nine Republican Senators to secure the adoption of the amendments and reservations as proposed by the Committee on Foreign Relations. While some modifications will be made the amendments and reservations will be added to the instruments in practically the same shape as they left the Committee. Then the question will be presented as to which of the warring elements will vote to ratify the treaty. According to President Wilson's announced position, his friends must necessarily vote against the ratification of the treaty, while the Republicans and Democrats will vote for its ratification. NEW YORK'S GOVERNOR MAKE A STATEMENT. Governor Smith of New York in response to a letter of enquiry announces that he will do all in his power to see to it that citizens of New York State are duly protected in the discharge of any lawful vocation in any other State of this Union. This was in reply to a letter asking for information concerning the Mr. John R. Shillady outrage in Austin, Texas and the sympathy expressed by the Governor of Texas, not for the injured man but for those who inflicted the injury. What can Governor Smith do about it? Should Mr. Shillady elect to go back to Austin, Texas what steps can he take to protect him during his sojourn on Texan soil? This presents a most interesting situation Can Mr. Shillady secure a warrant in a United States Court against the man who assaulted him, he being a non resident of the State or must he rely upon the protection of the judiciary of Texas, one of the judges of which State was guilty of assaulting him? President Wilson is being asked to protect the Armenians in Turkey and the Jews in Russia, what can he do towards protecting the citizens of New York State in Texas? The oppression of the colored people has led to the oppression of the white peo pele. Colored folks in Texas are now in conference with the white folks of the same State, for there seems to have been a mutual understanding that Texas is far Texans, be they black or white and that when a man beats his own wife and whips his own children, outsiders had better keep well in the street and mind their own business, while the "mutual mis understanding" is going on. This is an amusing situation of affairs in this free country. QUALITY HAIR POMADE: QUALITY HAIR POMADE is the best on earth for anyone's hair.

OPEN NIGHT AND DAY, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1919 GOANDKE NEWS GOANDKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., September 16.—The annual session of the Allen C. E. League Convention opened Monday night with the usual devotionals. The annual sermon was delivered by Rev. George R. Jones, from Luke 15:4. He made a wonderful picture in twenty minutes of what Endearancer should be to the world of sinners lost and how our hearts should go out for our boys and girls. The address of welcome on behalf of the district was by P. E., Rev. Isaac Ewer, which was very touching, Rev. J. S. Hatcher made welcome remarks on the part of the ministers of Roanoke and apologized for the absence of many, especially the Rev. L. L. Downing, of the Presbyterian Church of Fifth Avenue, their Presbytery being in session. A packed house greets the meeting each night. Rev. W. R. Howerton delivered a very instructive sermon Tuesday night, September 16, at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church to a very large audience on the all-important subject of "Hope of Deliverance." Rev. Howerton is one of Mt. Zion's sons and we are proud of him. The sermon was quite persuasive and helpful to all. Dr. S. S. Morris, of St. John's A. M. E. Church, Norfolk, Va., spoke of the high hope he entertained for the League in the future, having watched the progress for seventeen years since its organization in the state. Great good has been accomplished. The meeting here promises grand results. Mrs. N. B. Taylor, the wife of Rev. George C. Taylor is in attendance. Mrs. M. F. Tynes, Mrs. C. R. Sanders and Mrs. Berry, one of the girls of Harmony, the home of the founders of the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church here were also in attendance. The Rev. J. S. Hatcher seemed to have been at his best last Sabbath morning and night. At night his subject was, "The Ghost, Real and Unreal." It was a wonderful lesson and one to be carefully reviewed. Mr. L. C. Walker, a brakeman of the Norfolk division was killed September 5, at one o'clock. While engaged in shifting he was cur in twain. He leaves a loving wife, three children, mother and three brothers and a host of friends to mourn their loss. His brother, Joseph S. Walker, 33 Eleventh Street, S. W. Mr. E. A. Stainfield and wife were called from the city to Lowmoor, Va. Friday morning on account of the death of their cousin, Mr. John Henry Stokes, of Pittsburgh, Pa. Miss Lucy Nowell, of Tenth Avenue, N. W., who has been quite indisposed for several days is much improved at this writing, under the care of Dr. Muse. Mr. Lee Jackson, of Kingtown, died Monday, September 15. He was buried there September 16. Many left the city to attend the funeral. Mr. Jackson at one time was a market man to the city. Miss Hessie Fields, of Richmond, Va, spent four weeks with Mrs. Ella Locklayer and daughter, of 432 Seventh Avenue, N. W. She left September 9, in time to assume her work in the public schools. Miss Blanche Smith, daughter of Mrs. Kate Smith, 359 Seventh Avenue, N. W. returned home from Alexandria, Va. sick and has been taken to Burrell's Memorial Hospital for treatment. It is hoped she may be out again soon. Mr. C. E. Locklayer, 432 Seventh Avenue, N. W. is spending his vacation in Norfolk, Richmond, Old Point and Farmville, Va. Mr. Thomas C. Curtis, of 218 Seventh Avenue, N. E., who spent two or three weeks vacation in Atlantic City, N. J. returned home last Sunday evening much refreshed and helped from his trip. Mrs. Josie McGimpsey, of Seventh Avenue, N. W., who has been very sick, is much improved at this writing. Mr. McGimpsey, who has been in the Navy returned home Sunday morning, after a long absence from his family and found Mrs. McGimpsey much indisposed. Mrs. M. E. Smith of Nutley, N. J. and Miss Elizabeth Withers of Asbury Park, N. J., who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Howard, 302 Seventh Avenue, N. W. left for Philadelphia, Tuesday, the 9th, after spending a very pleasant time. While visiting in the city they were the guests also of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Banister. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Elam and little daughter, Violet and Mrs. Nathaniel Moore, of 309 Ninth Avenue N. W. and little daughter, Lena Beat rice Moore, spent two weeks on Danville and Ringgold, V. visiting relatives and friends. They report a fine trip.

W. Miss Esther Daye was invited to sing for Mr. Fishburne, president of the Nat. Erchange Bank on Monday September 7th also on the 18th. Miss Marissa Bolden was her pianist.

She will be special guest of anoth er friend of Suffolk Va. and will also be soloist at her marriage and will then take up her school at Franklin on October 1. LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER Yes, gir-ree, another one is married and all we know is that our little friend Tiff got an invitation just like the rest of us. So my advice to all the girls who really want to marry is to let it be known that you are in correspondence with Tiffney, or that you are one of his many girls and some good, kind, loving fellow will get sorry for you and the next thing you know you will be signing your name "Mrs." But stop kidding, girl you don't know what you are missing. I know tiff is a fine fellow, with every quality that could be expected of a fellow of his age and that is where the rub comes. How old he is, I can't tell. Some say he was here when they said, "Let's make Roanoke," but that hasn't been so long. Anyway he was young enough to get in the first draft, even if it did take half of Roanoke's lawyers to keep him from going. Anyhow, you won't find a better fellow in the State and one who would provide a better home. So I hope some of the good lookers will settle on our friend. This is not a paid boost for him, either, but he is my pal and I'm tired of one Dr. J. Sterling and the rest of the bunch kidding Tiff all the time. Keep it up and he will show some of you "hard guys" where "The Four Leaf Clovers Grow." B. E. G. Tate, the popular tailor, had a fail last week, but we are glad to say that Proper Tate (as he is called by the Hogs) is able to be up and around. He and Ding-It Hughes were driving on the Mountain Soda Wagon and Proper Tate fell off and Ding-It almost got a bump. Get back, old top, it's fine if you can stick on. The Jazz Court is to be called for the 29th as there are several cases of importance to come up. Judge Ding-It Hughes will preside. State's Attorney W. B. F. Crowell is about ready with the cases for trial. William Sug Calloway, Willie Patterson, Dr. J. Sterling and Jessie Dillard are the defendants in four of the most important cases before the Jazzers for this term of court. The Hogs are getting ready for a big blow-out about October 1. Committee on Mountain Soda has been appointed, when they report the rest will be easy. Lam-bean is almost a thing of the past. WHAT NEXT We note that a white man confessed to a brutal murder of an aged woman (white) in Indiana, in order to start a race riot, hoping, of course, that some Negro would be charged with the crime, and down in derel North Carolina—so says the Norfolk Journal and Guide—a Negro president of an old Negro college of high standing announced that he was opposed to Mr. Trottier and all his movements and plans, and denounced the Crisis, saying he didn't allow it to be read in his school, if he knew it. Now here is a white hoodlum trying to start up trouble between the races, by doing crime, hoping to fasten it on a Negro and a Negro educator, for the sake of a few meanley dollars denouncing race men who are trying to get for the race, what the constitution promises, and their blood-hought rights. As to the white hoodlum we expect nothing more, for it is only the criminal class of whites that start and keep up the trouble between the races, he is jealous of the Negro, who only a few years ago was without educators, wealth or standing, and he is just where the Negro left him. The Negro has gone up the hill and looking back from schools, fine homes and farms and banks, insurance companies and many other business ventures with high rating and standing and the hoodium is as mad as h— well, he is mad and that class will do anything to stir up strife and cause trouble. But what can be said for the Negro educator, who is or ought to be a leader, at least of his student body, who denounces the very things we are striving for,—to become a real people? It is said. It is said this man had appealed to the white people of his city to aid him in putting in a heating plant in his school and the whites had started to help, when they saw a copy of The Crisis, with some things Mr. Trotter had said and some that Dr. DuBois said, and then they called a halt on their collection for the colored college, until they could find out where the President good on the things Trotter and DuBois were talking about. If this Negro educator fa- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA vored them, he got no help from his white friends (?) If he was opposed to them they would help him get $2500 for his heating plant and Mr. Negro Educator was opposed. Great guns! What next? Why man, in North Carolina, he could have passed the hat among Negroes and raised his $2500 while he was denouncing men who are doing things. We, personally, don't agree with Mr. Trotter in everything. We think him a little drastic in some things for the betterment of the race but for God's sake give him credit for this last stunt he has pulled so successfully. Neither do we think Dr. DuBois correct in everything, but he is doing a great work for the race and while we may not see it just now, it will come, it must come, for "God moves in a mysterious way." We don't believe in too drastic means to bring about what we want. While we must fight, but not with sticks, rocks or guns—unless its for protection of home and property—then its defense. But fight the opposition with good citizenship, continued loyalty, perfection in your own line, whatever that be, devotion to your race and your womanhood, your family and self, then we will become a real people. We don't believe in the hgt-in-hand leadership or the head-scratching leader any more than we do in the leader who goes around with a chip on his shoulder, looking for something to kick about. We believe in real Christian manhood, leaders who will wangle up like men and point to their race as the most loyal thig country knows, who are 100 per cent even though they are oppressed on every hand. Men who will work for our rights on high grounds and plead with the powers of this nation for his race, standing on a principle at all times. But a man who will deny or sell his manhood and that of his people for a few measley dollars ought to be, where he won't need his overcoat at any time of the year, there with the boys who were kicked out of Heaven whom we are told about in "Paradise Lost." That's the place for him. I don't know what others think, but I think a man like that is a helluva leader, don't you? The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. B. Robinson Saturday night and he left a fine daughter, Mother and daughter are doing nicely while Mr. Robinson, who is superintendent of the local branch of the Southern Aid is strutting around town bragging. Rev, and Mrs. A. A. Cosey, of Mound Bayou, Miss., stopped over in Roanoke enroute home from the National Baptist Convention at Newark N. J., to visit the mother and sister of Mrs. Cosey, Mrs. M. B. Carter and Mrs. Mattie L. Alman respectively. Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Alman will accompany the Rev, and Mrs. Casey to their home where Mrs. Carter, the mother will spend the winter. Rev, Hatcher, of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church preached on Ghosts, Sunday night and the church was packed with people anxious to hear what this really great preacher had to say about ghosts and those who cam₄ were well paid. They didn't get, perhaps what they expected, but were pleased with what they got. Rev, Hatcher has a great way to reach the people. Many who had other kinds of spooks in their minds before the sermon found that their sins were the real ghosts that would haunt them and make them unhappy until they were driven away by the forgiveness of those sins through Christ. It was a great sermon, a lesson to all who heard him and let me say right here, if you haven't heard Rev. Hatcher don't miss another Sunday. It's worth your time. It's alright if you belong elsewhere. Hear him once anyway. Ain't I gittin' good? That's good advice just the same. LITTLE WILLIE. YOUNGSTOWN NEWS.
