Thus will a worthwhile standard be established and our people, as well as other people, will begin to buy and read Negro magazines just Sir. I have read with interest the for the sake of one poem by a Negro better by Mr. Claude McKay in the author they like. Generally speaking, poets, as other artists, are deplorably exploited by capitalists. A real poet has something to say. When he has said it he must have an audience, whether or not that audience pays him for the conceptions of his soul. Poetry is the highest form of literary expression. Believe it or not, a true artist of any kind is driven by an irresistible urge that keeps him awake nights, and wears him down even to death if he fails to express himself. To abort a dream is more tractic to one's health than any physical abortion can ever be. The poet is thoroughly in love with his work. This is true of artists of all kinds. This is why they are exploited. The psychology of the matter is this: If a bird is going to sting anyway and we shall have the bene ft of its song, why compensate it for its service? This is what cheapens an artistic expression to the caschardoned public that has been used to obtain these services gratia from the many voluntary singers and expres stionists of all kinds. But the servant is always worthy of his hire, and whoever fails to pay a man for a service rendered to the person who obtains it, the benefi cary is forever indebted to his bene factor. Under the present system of world capitalism an individual must live to a great extent by means of cash Artists of all kinds must have MY GOD IS BLACK. My God is Black. He made me so— His Image, breathing as I go. He is my soul's lone Vision, through The best of all I dare and do; The hope I have; my faith's glad glow; The spirit-urge I feel; each blow That keeps me facing toward my foe: These are His signs, unfailing, true— My God is Black!

The fact that a true artist c. wrote me after reading would rather do his chosen work grat my poems in manuscripts: is to the world than do any other poems will outlive anything work for gold is why the system of ever did." The press has followed rath very unjust to him and undorpays him led in my case. The editors often beyond his endurance. But this is a new age and we are the New Negro. Men become new only through a new attitude of mind. Love is the greatest word in any language and it means Cooperation. A recognition of this basic fact has made the New Negro of today. When we fully realize this lesson we shall not expect nor accept without price, the services of our poets and other master artists. Cordially and sincerely yours, —LUCIAN B. WATKINS. THE DEFENSE IN THE CONFERENCE OF OUR WORTHY MINISTRY It is but natural for a church to want the activities of a young and strong minister. The time demands it as well as work which is more complex and strenuous. Yet the writer is very sorry that the church at Dover N. could not find a better way to love their pastor. Rev. W. W. Newer who has worn himself out in their service of more than thirty years. He is honored and be loved by all of the brethren of this city and vicinity with all that may be said of him as a builder of churches and pastor. For he has built many in our vicinity. We understand that from next Sun day to the end of his life which may be very short he is to live by the one of his fellow ministers, who have been asked to take offerings for him. This is a reflection on Dover Mine Baptist church and this newly elected pastor. 424 Sixth Avenue, New York City, February 9, 1920. Editor Negro World. Sir, I have read with interest the letter by Mr. Claude McKay in the Negro World of February 7th. Mr. McKay is a genuine poet whose poems can always read to read and reread as Mr. McKay well says, there has been in the past, and to a large extent on the part of Negro editors, a lack of the critical discrimination that reveals an appreciation of what really worthwhile among the Negro poets. However, in my particular case, I am glad to admit that editors John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Plant, Charles Alexander of the Alexander's Magazine one of Boston, Mass., and Dr. W. E. K., Dulbois of the Crisis Magazine all Negroes, were the first to publish my verses. About twelve years ago Mr. Mitchell contributed two columns of editorial to the reproduction of some of my poems and commented on the poetic merit that he recognized therein. Later he wrote me as follows: "I am instructing my employees to give your poems double column space always. They are masterpieces and some day the world will recognize them as such." Both Drs. Du Bols and Alexander have written me letters of congratulations as to my poetic accomplishments. The Crisis Magazine has published more and rejected fewer of my poems than any other magazine in which I have submitted them. Colonel Charles Young (who, by the way has written the introduction to my forthcoming book of poems,) who construct years has been for me a constructive critic, wrote me after reading some of my poems in manuscripts: "Your poems will outlive anything unbar ever did." "The white press has followed rath or than led in my case. The editors of the Fort D. A. Russell (Wyo.) News, The Manhattan Messenger (Kans.) Manila American (P. I.) Baltimore-American, Pearson's Mugga and others have all recognized me editorially. Pearson's for March, 1915, published one of my poems a photograph of the author and an object of an open letter of mine. Recently I was awarded a prize in a poetry Contest conducted by the American Ambition Association, Philadelphia, Pa. But all the while for about twenty five years, I have endeavored to make myself worthy of the good things said about me. In addition to serious reading and study, I completed a special course in Poetics and Versification. Let me say that one word of ap preciation from a competent Negro is valued by me beyond anything that can be said by a member of the white race. The very fine letter I received recently from the newly appointed Associate editor of the Negro World gave me one of the great and delightful thrills of my life. Now, to another side of the poetic art as applied to Negro writers. What I am going to say is not complimentary to my editors, but it is a fact and facts must be taken into consideration. Aside from a wholesome apology and liberal "pats on the back" I have received practically no financial returns for my poems. So far as I know, there is not a single Negro publication in America that pays for a poem written by a Negro, thus, more than anything else, keeps the literary standard low. When our editors begin to pay out cash to their distributing Negro poets they will A. D. DALY. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1920 PERSONALS AND BRIEFS —Attorney J.

John Mitchell, Jr. Dear Sir, A former resident of Richmond and an employee of your office wishes the privilege of using a little of the space in the "Planet" to apprise the residents of this city and the public generally of the recent actions of the Superintendent of Schools, E. C. Glass (white) and the self educated Principal of Payne School. Miss Anna LeGrand (white) a repetition of former such actions. Miss Norma Clayton, a very esteemable young lady, a graduate of the would be Colored High School of Lynchburg, Va. Howard University Academy and the Teachers' College of Howard University was elected by the Board of Education to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Alice Vasser and assumed her duties at the beginning of the term in September 1919 and taught said grade until she was forced on account of the need of a surgical operation to give up the position to enter the local hospital for treatment. Her grade work had been completed and her pupils were being reviewed at the time she was compelled to leave for the hospital, so it was necessary that a substitute be appointed to take up the work for the remainder of the term which was nearly completed so Mrs. Mrs. Ora Roberts, a graduate of the Denville High School similar to the would be High School at Lynchburg and also a graduate of Hartshoe College was appointed and served. Upon Miss Clayton's return to her former duties, she learned that the principal who has arbi-trically caused the graduates of reputable schools who showed efficiency to either be removed or resign unless they would yield or bend to the personal whim or the principal or knive as in ante bellum days to the tyrannical methods of the Superintendent whose greatest fame as an educator lay in the fact that he was with the local school system from the beginning as he, too, is one of the self-taught ones. The back stairs politics of the Principal who stated Miss Clayton's work was efficient recommending to the biased Superintendent a non comparable change, the frequent visits of the substitute to the Superintendent caused Miss Clayton to resign rather than return and humble herself before the self educated principal who is glorified, surrounded by her hand picked teachers who must knuckle or bow as before stated to the whims of the all powerful officials. Colored citizens know their relation ship to the educational system and seek as all taxpayers naturally would to question the acts of any of its public servants white or black. Miss Clayton was tendered a double school of failed pupils, but considering that no charge of inefficiency had been brought against her work defined to accept any other grade than that originally assigned to her. At this point I am furnishing the names of a few of the college graduates who tried the methods of the system and gave up the work; Miss Virgile Vassar Howard College Miss Rosa Vassar, Cornell, Miss Davis, Howard University; Miss Clayton, Howard University. In this letter I am attempting to lay bare the facts relative to the tactics employed o replace capably trained teachers for those whose chief ability lay in pleasing the personal vanity of the aforementioned officials. I shall in my next letter give more fully the details of this travesty on an educational system for the colored residents of this city. This is an ora in which the value of an education thoroughly understood and one can not be the recipient of an education if the persons are not manly and wo many in their vocation as teachers. Puppets can properly serve. In conclusion I am asking the question "Why does Lynnburg lose her colored college graduates as teachers and advance those who are less trained?" Either the system is wrong or there is the necessity of converting the self taught members of the system. Thanking you for your valuable space. Signed: P. V. BACCHUS MR. BUSINESS MAN.

Chicago, Ill., Feb. 12.—Major General Leonard Wood, the most prominent American today demonstrates his presidential caliber before the Lincoln League assembled. He stated his platform in fifty words by saying: "I stand for the Rooseveltian Square Deal; a strict application to the principles of Americanism in the functioning of our government, as exemplified by Abraham Lincoln; an honest adherence to the constitution; and the rigid enforcement of law and Order. In other words, America must be made safe for Ameri cans." Like Lincoln of old Leaonard Wood stands for a government of all the people, by all the people, and for all the people. He has pledged himself time and time again thrust his long career of unprecedented and loyal Public Service to help all people who are in trouble. Today he stands not as any State's "favorite son" but the people of the nation's "favorite son." His popular ty like Lincoln's has grown from the ground up and not from the tree-top's down. It is the men and women who are not politicians, just the ordinary people of the land, the multinational people of the plain work-a-day people of Leaonard Wood as president of the United States. Just as that delegate at the Lineonard League an old veteran of the Spanish American war and a soldier in the 10th Calvary in the battle of San Juan Hill, as General Wood said "There are no braver men than those colored boys I commanded in Cuba." "rose and eried out," General I was there and a finer leader I never knew. So I say the people of the U.S. are arising and crying out. "We want Leaonard Wood as the next great Republican leader." PRICE, FIVE CENTS GREAT EXTENSION DRIVE OF VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION Bretton, listen, get in a hurry! The train is on the main line, bound for Staunton and will soon blow for your station. If you have not already raised the largest amount of money you have ever carried to the Virginia Baptist State Convention, get busy as a convention, we must break all records in our next annual gather log, and to do this, each individual church must bring up more money than ever before. We have organized the state into districts, appointed a superintendent over each district and given them the following apportionments: Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and vicinities. Dr. C. P. Madison, Superintendent $5500; Newport News, Hampton and vicinities. Dr. C. E. Jones $2000; Richmond and vicinity. Dr. L. C. Carland $2500; Petersburg and vicinity. Dr. S. A. Brown $1500; Blackstone and vicinity. L. R. W. Ashburn $800; Charlotteville and vicinity. R. E. W. Murphy $1000; Clinton Forge and vicinity. Rev. W. C. Brown $1000; Harrisburg and vicinity Rev. R. A. Arthurs $500; Lynchbury and vicinity. Rev. C. C. Cabbell $1000; Roonoke and vicinity Rev. W. E. Lay $200; Danville and vicinity Rev. M. C. Allen $1500; Stamton and vicinity Rev. M. L. Gordon $1000; Farmville and vicinity Dr. J. H. Ruev $500. And there comes the venerable Dr. W. P. Graham and the other grand men of Philadelphia with $2500. The distinguished Dr. J. C. Austin will marshal our forces in Pittsburgh and bring us $1500. Dr. G. H. Sims of New York with Dr. Timm Paterson, Matthews, Smith, W. H. Brown and others will bring us $1000 Our Secretary, The Rev. W. H. Ruev will bring down from Northern Virginia and Washington, D. C. $1600 And on, on, on through Maryland, West Virginia and New Jersey they are coming. Some may think these figures a little large; but brethren, we are rallying to build our great administration hall which will cost almost a hundred thousand dollars. This is a big thing; but we must rise in our might, kiss the high water mark with lips of sacred devotion, and in the strength of the Lord do what may seem to some to be the impossible. If we come up to Stanton with the sweat of hard labor on our brows, the blood of strenuous effort in our hands, and the prayer of faith in our hearts, our God will cover his servants with the glory of the most blessed achievement; heaven will be pleased. God noted, men startled and hell intimidated. Let every sucerintendens who has not already done so, call the forges together in his district, make a church to church campaign program and help each the other raise his convention money. Those very remembrance churches you may not be able to reach personally, write them and stir up their pure minds respecting this great Kingdom Extension Drive and if any church fails to be reached by any one of these superintendents, rally anyhow and meet us in Stanton with sheaves of golden grain. Let all of the pastors in every district rally around your superintendent. You may be the superintendent of your district next year and will need your men to rally around you. Yours for the extension of our Master's Kingdom. T. J. KING. President of the Va. Baptist State Convention. THE MINISTERS' CONFERENCE The Ministers Conference met at the Second Baptist Church as usual. Dr. E, Payno, president, presiding. The devotionals were very inspiring. The white Y. M. C. A. Secretary of the C. and O. B. R., division elected to the conference, showing his interest in the colored men who are at work in their shops, soliciting the aid of the ministers in their spiritual uplift. The Conference expressed a strong feeling of regret that there seemed to be no way made by which it might show due deference and not or to so distinguished a character and so well known by them, as Dr. S. A. Moses, all we know is that he will be brought to this city and buried, directly from the train. The matter effecting Rev. W. W. Young and his relation to his church was also brought to the attention of the conference. Mention was made of the Hereties who are coming among us supposed to be preaching the gospel. The members of the conference who are on the sick list are infuriating. Many visitors were in to see Dr. M. B. Hurches of N. Y. was among the visitors who spoke. Several rows are in progress and souls are coming to Christ. Members of the conference are asked to be on time for Monday. SIX THE PULVER SATURDAY..FEBRUARY 21, 1920 MANY SCHOOL CHILDREN REMAIN UNVACCINATED One Health Officer Says Not One in Ten in His District Has Taken Precaution. Richmond, Va., Feb. 11.—What seems to be well-grounded complaint comes from some sections of the State that, notwithstanding the well known and generally admitted office ency of vaccination as a preventive of smallpox a very large percentage of population remains unvaccinated even with at least this disease, with all its attendance in the expense, continuing to appear each year in from 40 to 50 per cent of the counties of the State. Even the plain word of the law as to the vaccination of school children is unheeded. One county health officer declares that, with smallpox in his county and a not infrequent visitor thereto according to Health Department records, not one school child in ten has been vaccinated and that the proportion is about the same in the adult population. The State law as to vaccination in the schools provides that, within thirty days after entering a public free school every teacher and pupil shall furnish acertificate from reputable physician certifying that such teacher or pupil has been successfully or properly vaccinated, or is entitled to exemption by reason of peculiar physical condition, provided nothing in the section quoted shall preclude a school board from requiring immediate vaccination in case of an epidemic of smallpox, or the annual revocation of those who have not turned certificates of proper vaccination; provided further that the operation of this requirement may be suspended in whole or in part by the school board of any city or county. Provision is made for the vaccination at the public expense of those who are unable to meet the expense out of their own means. In the absence of any action on the part of local school authorities to suspend the operation of the law to requiring general vaccination of school children and teachers all such persons attending the schools without having been vaccinated or without a legal exemption therefrom, are doing so in violation of the State law. The same physician who makes the complaint noted declares that the U. S. Government has vaccinated 5,000 people in the Philippines lands without a fatal result and that as a sequel to such an achievement, smallpox has almost been driven from the islands. Were such a general vaccination secured in Virginia the disease would practically be exterminated in Virginia because State Health Department Officials declare. Have you been noticing the worth while work being done by our County Nurses and the teachers since medical inspections were provided for in Virginia by law? These nurses are telling interesting tales of the serious conditions they find and the way they are being remedied. 'Over in a corner of a rural schoolroom,' says one nurse, I find a little boy whom the teacher says is stupid—he never gets out of one grade. His mouth hangs open; he 'wreaks through' his eyes, he does look stuck. But bring him to the window, and look down his throat. Just as I thought, Tonsilis enlarged, adenoids—his throat is almost closed. No wonder he seems stupid. On the back seat of the room is "A very bad little girl" she will not be attentive, and fidgets restlessly whenever problems are on the black board. But I take my Snellings eye card and have this little girl stand on the floor, first line, and the second line; but the third one?—no! Of course she is restless, for she can't see what is written on the blackboard. "I go back to that school six months later. The mother of the "stu pid little boy" has been induced to take him to a doctor and have his tonsils and adenoids removed. Now his mouth is closed he breathes through his nose. He no longer looks stupid; he isn't stupid and will make his grade this year. He has regained his selfrespect where is the little girl who couldn't see? Where she is and she is no longer restless! Her mother was poor so the nurse had her taken to the Dispensary; her eyes were ex amined without charge; her glasses were supplied at cost; and she is now able to see and to study happily and well." These and many similar experiences have shown how valuable it is to save all Virginia's school children carefully examined. But the numerals physically defective children have also shown the need for enabling the teachers to give instruction in whole some physical training to all their pupils, and a Bill is now before the General Assembly with Senator West and Delegate Deana as patrons, make more adequate provisions for finding a way to bring with our children's health and performing the difficulty. Prominent educators and health authorities throughout the State are suggesting that all parents and others interested in this movement for physical welfare write their legislators, urging their support of this important measure. head—letters of resident and nur lau Washington, Feb. 13.—The following correspondence between President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing was made public at the State Department tonight. The White House. Washington, 7, Feb. 1920. My Dear Mr. Secretary; Is it true, as I have been told, that during my illness you have frequent by called the heads of the Executive departments of the Government into conference? If it so I feel it my duty to call your attention to considerations which I do not care to dwell upon until I learn from you yourself that this is the fact. Under our constitutional law and practice as developed hitherto no one but the President has the right to the heads of the Executive department and no one but the Congress and the President has the right to ask their views or the views of any one of them on public question. I take this matter up with you be cause in the development of every constitutional system, custom, and precedent are of the most serious con sequence, and I think we all agree in desiring in not leading in any wrong direction. I have therefore tak en the liberty of writing you to ask you this question, and I am sure you will be glad to answer. I am happy to learn from your re cont note to Mrs. Wilson that your strength is returning. Cordially and sincerely yours. WOODKOW WILSON. Hon. Robert Lansing, Secretary of State: The Secretary of State, Washington, Feb. 9, 1920. My Dear Mr. President: It is true that frequently during your illness I requested the heads of the executive departments of the Government to meet for informal conference. Shortly after you were taken ill in October certain members of the cabinet of which I was one, felt that in view of the fact that we were dented communication with you it was wise for us to 'confer informally' to gather on inter-departmental matters and matters as to which action could be published and until such advisers permitted you to pass on them. Accordingly I, as the ranking member, requested the members of the Cabinet to assemble for such informal conference, and in view of the mutual benefit derived the practice was continued. I can assure you that it never for a moment entered my mind that I was acting unconstitutionally or contrary to your wishes, and there was no intention of my part to assume powers or to control which under the 'Constitution are exclusively confided to the President. During these troubles times when many difficult and vexious questions have arisen and when in the circumstances I have been deprived of your guidance and direction it has been my constant endeavor to carry out your policies as I understood them and to act in all matters as I believed you would wish me to act. If, however, you think that I have failed in my loyalty to you and if you no longer have confidence in me and prefer to have another conduct our foreign affairs I am of course ready, Mr. President to relieve you of any embarrassment by placing my resignation in your hands. I am, as always, faithful to yours. ROBERT LANSING. I am very much disappointed by your letter of February 9, in reply to mine asking about the so-called Cabinet meetings. You kindly explain the motives of these meetings and I find nothing in your letter which justifies your assumption of Presidential authority in such a matter. You say you felt that, in view of the fact that you were denied communication with me, it was wise to confer informally together on inter-departmental and matters as to which action could be postponed until my medical adviser promised to be seen and consulted, but I have to mind you, Mr. Secretary that no action could be taken without me by the Cabinet, and therefore there could have been no disadvantage in awaiting action with regard to matters concerning which action could not have been taken without me. This affair, Mr. Secretary, only deepens a feeling that was growing upon me. While we were still in Paris I felt, and have felt increasingly since, that you accepted my guidance and direction on questions with regard to which I had to instruct you only with increasing reluctance, and since my return to Washington I have no doubt by the number of matters in which I am not apprently tried to forestall my two appurtencing formulation action, and merely asking my approval when it was impossible for me to form an independent judgment because I had not had an opportunity to examine the circumstances with any degree of independence. I therefore feel that I must frankly take advantage of your kind suggestion that if I should prefer to have another to conduct our foreign affairs you are ready to relieve me of my embarrassment by placing your resignation in my hands, for I must say that it would relieve me of em barrassment, Mr. Secretary, the em barrassment of feeling your reluctance and divergence of judgment, if you would give your present office up and afford me an opportunity to select one whose mind would more willingly go along with mine, and then you with what no reluctance I take a chance of suggestion or that I deal with the kindiest feeling. In matters of trans condent importance like these the only wise course is a course of perfect cander where personal feeling is as much as possible left out of the rock oning. Very sincerely yours. WOODROW WILSON. Hon. Robert Lansing, Secretary of State: The Secretary of State. Washington... Feb. 12. 1930 THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA My Dear Mr. President: I wish to thank you sincerely for your candid letter 'of the 11th, in which you state that my resignation would be acceptable to you, since it relieves me of the responsibility for action which I have been contemplating and which I can now take with out hesitation as it meets your wishes. I have the honor, therefore, to tender you my resignation as Secretary of State, the same to take effect at your convenience. In thus severing our official association I feel, Mr. President, that I should make the following statement which I had imposed security, and which will show you that I have not been unmindful that the continuance of our relatious was impossible and that I realized that it was clearly my duty to bring them to an end at the earliest moment compatible with the public interest: Ever since January, 1919, I am concious of the fact that you no longer were disposed to welcome my advice in matters pertaining to the negotiations in Paris, to our foreign service or to international affairs in general. Holding these views I would, if I had consulted my personal inclinations alone, have resigned as Secretary of State and as a commissioner to negotiate peace. I felt, however, that such a step might have been plainer and that it was my duty to cause you no embarrassment in carrying forward the great task in which you were then engaged. Possibly I erred in this, but if I did it it was with the best of motives. When I returned to Washington in the latter part of July, 1819 my personal wish to resign had not changed but again I felt that loyalty to you and my duty to the Administration compelled me to defer action, as my resignation might have been misused into hostility to the ratification of the treaty of peace or at least into disapproval of your views as to the form of ratification. I therefore remained silent, avoiding any comment on the reports that we were not in full accord. Subsequently your serious illness, during which I have never seen you imposed upon me the duty—at least I construed it to be my duty—to remain in charge of the Department of State until your health permitted you to return again full direction of foreign affairs. Believing that that time had arrived I had prepared my resignation and my only doubt as to the propriety of placing it in your hands was removed by your letter indicating that it would be entirely acceptable to you. I think, Mr. President, after the frankness that has marked this correspondence and for which I am grateful to you, that I cannot permit to pass unchallenged the imputation that in calling into informal conference the heads of the executive de partments I sought to usurp your Presidential authority, I had no such intention, no such thought. I believed then and I believe now that the conferences which were held were for the best interests of your administration and of the republic, and that be lief was shared by others whom I consulted. I further believe that the conferences were proper and necessary in the circumstances and that I would have been derelict in my duel if I had failed to act as I did. I also feel, Mr. President, that can dorsor compels me to say that I cannot agree with your statement that I have tried to forestall your judgment in certain cases by formulating action and merely asking your approval when it was impossible for you to form an independent judgment because you had not had an opportunity to examine the circumstances with any degree of independence, I have, it is true, when I thought a case demanded immediate action, advised you what in my opinion, that action should be, stating at the same time the reasons on which my opinion was based. This I conceived to be a function of the State of State and I have followed the practice for the past four years and a half. I confeed that I have been surprised and disappointed at the frequent disapproval of my suggestions, but I have never failed to follow your decisions however difficult it made the conduct of our foreign affairs. I need hardly add that I leave the office of Secretary of State with only good will toward you, Mr. President, and with a sense of profound relief. Forgetting our differences and re-membering only your many kindness in the past, have the honor to be, Mr. President, our course, BORNIST LANSING The President, the White House, The White House, My Dear Brother. Allow me to acknowledge with appreciation your letter of February twelfth. It now being evident, Mr. Secretary that we have both of us felt the embarrassment of our recent relations, with each other, I feel it my duty to accept your resignation, to take effect at once; at the same time adding that I hope that the future holds for you many successes of the most gratifying sort. My best wishes will always follow you and I will be a matter of gratification to you always to remember our do-fulgent personal relations. Sincerely yours.

MORRIS WINS FIRST PRIZE IN ANNUAL ESSAY CONTEST Chicago, Ill., January 28.—Charles Sutchell Morris, Jr., famous young orator of Norfolk, Va., triumphed over eleven contestants, last Sunday in the 10th annual essay contest, Chicago, as the representative of the polished Grace, Lyceum winning the first prize a diamond ring.

This is the fifth prize young Morris has won four of these being in oratorical contests. Whon he had triumphed over white contestants, 3 years since in New York State, he was called 'A native born Cuban' by the white press. He is the oldest son of Dr. and Mrs. Charles S.

Owing to the fact that a typowriter to be of any use at all in writing the Japanese language must have more than three thousand characters it is obvious that only the most general principles of the ordinary American machine could be applied.

The third is the Kanji or Chinese characters—ideographs—of which one must know three thousand or more in order to write the language at all well. These characters convey the same idea to both a Chinese and a Japanese, although the pronunciation is rather different. In this Kanji resembles numerals, which mean the same to a number of different nouns, although they are pronounced altogether differently in the various languages. This fact has an advantage in the case of typwriter making as the same machines may be used by the Japanese and the Chinese, the byly difference being that in the machines made for the Chinese no Hirakana or Katakana characters are probided as the Chinese do not use them. When K. Sugimoto set about building his typewriter it was obvious from the first that the foreign mod would not be followed. A machine having more than 3,000 key arms would be as cumbersome as a grand piano. He did the difficulty by 'providing a movable arm which picks up the type from its arm in the type tray, strikes it against the paper and then deposits it back in its proper place. This arm is operated by means of a key resembling that on a telegraph instrument. The main type tray of the Japanese machine measures 17 by 9 inches. In writing, the machine is placed so that this tray is directly in front of the operator. It contains 2,315 sections a few of which however, are left vacant to receive less frequently used from two additional trays, placed on either side of the main tray. Each tray has 429 characters, which when they are unused are picked up by means of a pair of tweezers and transferred to the vacut sections of the main tray. The standard machine contains two sets of Katakana characters one heavy and one light and one set of Hirakana characters. Japanese numerals are also provided while the possibilities offered by the side trays allow the ad character of Roman numerals, English characters or any other characters especially relevant. The average speed of experienced writers is from sixty to seventy words a minute and one speed marvel has set a record of seventy-nine. (From the Tokyo Trans-Pacific.

My Dear Mr. President: Tt ta true that frequently during your Illness I requested tho heads of the executive departments of the Government to meet for informal con ference. Shortly after you were taken ill in October certaii members of the cabinet of which I was one, felt that in view of the fact that wo were dent ed communiention with you it was wise for us to'confer informally to gether on inter-departmental matters and matters as to which action could not be pdéstponed until your medical advisers permitted you to pass on them, Accordingly I, as the ranking, member, requested the members of the Cabinet to assemble for stich inform al conferonce, and in view of the mu tual henetit derived the practice wes continued. T can assure you that tt never for a moment entered my mind that T was acting unconstitutionally or contrary to your wishes, and there certainly was no intention on my part to assume powers and exercise fune lions which under the Constitution are exclusively confided to the Prest dent.

At least six Germans, who have been dead for some time are said to be included in the list of alleged war criminals demand ed by the allies for trial. Three of these are: 1. General Fritz von Buclow, one of Hindenburg's best generals in the Mussarina Lakes battles and who lay or commanded the German center in the 1916 battle of the Somme. 2. Major Elder von der Planitz who was the ex-crown prince's adjutant in 1914 and who was killed in action on the west front in 1915. 3. Her von Sandt former civil governor of Belgium. Inclusion of these dead men in the list is eloiting much sarcastic comment from leading Berlin newspapers. The entire German press rages against the extradition demand, and is en courageed in its fury by the government itself, whose outward attitude is one of defiance, though under the surface there are many symptoms of grave fear that the Bauer government will be wrecked against the rock of allied determination to secure the surrender of the culprits at all costs. SAYS NO ROOM FOR COMPROMISE. One member of the government, Minister of Justice Schieffer, flatly declared late today: "There is no room for compromise. Not a single German will be delivered to the allies." He added the allied demand was based not on justice, but on revenge, and continued: We shall demand that the allies furnish us the indictments and complete testimony. Then we shall try everyone against whom charges have been preferred, but sending the accused out of Germany for trial by our former enemies is out of the question. So far we have not yet recycled a single full complaint. The Cabinet is absolutely united on this issue it has no intention of resigning, but will fight this thing through to the end." The government's plan of procedure will be decided upon tomorrow when Chancellor Bauer is to have a conference with the party leaders. It will then be decided whether the issue is to be put to a vote in the National Assembly. DEMAND CONTRARY TO JUSTICE The attitude of the independent Socialists was expressed in the Prus $5 per share cash with subscription $10 per share on or about May 15,1920 $10 per share on or about Dec.1,1920 slan assembly today by one of its leaders, Adolph Hoffman who said: The extradition demand is contrary to justice. The treaty was signed by us however, and the government must carry out its terms. But I expect it to strive to the uttermost for a revition and we rely upon the Socialists in the allied countries to support it to that end." An atmosphere of despair, punctured now and then by flashes of defiance, envelops Wilhelmstrasse. The government was literally stunned by the extradition list, which may turn out to be a knockout blow to the Cabinet, with consequences no man dares to speculate upon. The government's worst fears have been realized. The list shows that the optimism expressed in certain quarers to the last was made of thin tins INSIST ON POUND OF FLESH France and England insist upon their pound of flesh promise extorted from us, said one of the highest members of the government tonight. The stability of the present government will be tested to the utmost in the next few days. The supreme test may indeed come within the next forty eight hours. Tonight the specter of revolt can again be sensed in the tense atmosphere. Wilhelmstrasse is known to have visions of disorder and even chaos, throughout the country which may or may not come true. So great is the government's anxiety that the list was withheld from publication for more than forty eight hours. Foreign correspondents and others who Wednesday night had gleamed glimpses of the list, were pledged not to inform the German newspapers or to speak of the list to any one here. WOULD FACE QUICK MUTINY. es on the list, however, made its way on invisible wings through the government offices and parliamentary circles. This was followed by a rumble of threatened mutiny, should the government endeavor to carry out the allied command. German front in Flanders. In point of importance, however, the list is headed by Hindenburg, who even to day is the nation's idol, and second in importance, by Ludendorff who, though far less beloved still commands a strong following in the old army circles. These two names proved both the greatest surprise and the severest shock to the government. At the same time, the national feeling to- THE RICHMOND PLANET FREE MEDICAL CARE FOR ALL DISCHARGED SOLDIERS. A Discharged Soldier can receive treatment at the hands of the public health service to which he is entitled as a beneficiary of the bureau of War Risk Insurance, through one of a number of Channels. 1. He can apply directly to the examiner of the Public Health Service in his locality presenting evidence in the form of an honorable discharge of his right to such treatment. He will at once be examined, treated and provision made for hospital care should such be necessary. The examiner will also instruct and aid him in making out the necessary forms to be forwarded the War Risk Insurance Bureau, and also the necessary application to be made in order to become a claimant of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. 2. The discharged soldier can apply to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance by letter requesting examination and treatment as its beneficiary. The War Risk Insurance Bureau then notifies the District Supervisor of this request who in turn notifies the patient to report to an examiner, giving the examiner's name and address and issuing him transportation if travel is necessary to carry out the request. Upon presenting himself to the examiner, he is cared for in the above manner. 3. The discharged soldier can apply to the American Red Cross, American Legion, to his country or State Board of Health or to other organizations interested in his welfare, who through the publicity of the War Risk Insurance Bureau and the Public Health Service, will either direct him to the nearest examiner of the Public Health Service or will take up his case with the Public Health Service of the district in which he resides who proceeds at once to notify the patient *o* report for examination as indicated under (2.) The examiner is authorized to obtain the advice and services of consultants for a patient, should such be necessary and if hospital care is deemed advisable, to place him in the hospital upon the direction of the District Supervisor either locally if his case can be cared for locally or in a hospital unit where the services of special consultants can be obtained. Upon the discharge of a patient from the hospital, a report of physical examination is submitted to the District Medical Officer of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, and the patient is notified of his rights as a claimant of that Board for training and he ceases to be a patient of the Public Health Service, his case is turned over to the Federal Board for further disposition.

"This, I know— My God is Black! 424 Sixth Avenue, New York City, February 9, 1920. Editor Negro World. Sir.—I have read with interest the letter by Mr. Claudio McKay in the Negro World of February 7th. Mr. McKay is a genuine poet whose poems can always glad to read and reread, so in Mr. McKay well says, there has been in the past, and to a large extent in the part of Negro editors, a lack of the critical discrimination that reveals an appreciation of what is really worthwhile among the Negro poets. However, in my particular case, I am glad to admit that editors John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Plum et, Charles Alexander of the Alexander's magazine one of Boston, Mass., and Dr. W. B., B. Dulois of the magazine all Negroes, were the first to publish his my twelve years ago. Mr. Mitchell contributed two columns of editorial to the reproduction of some of my poems and commented on the poetic merit that he recognized therein. Later he wrote me as follows: "I am instructing my employees to give your poems double column space always. They are masterpieces and some day the them as such. Both Dr. Dulois have written me letters of congratulations as to my poetic accomplishments. The Crisis Magazine has published more and rejected fewer of my poems than any other magazine which I have submitted them. Colonel Charles Young (who, by the way has written the introduction to my forthcoming book of poems,) who for years has been for me a constructive critic, wrote me after reading some of my poems in manuscripts: 'Your poems will quiltive anything unbar ever did.' The white press has followed rath or than led in my case. The editors of the book are Dr. Russell Wyo. News. The Manhattan Messenger (Kans.) Manila American (P. I.) Baltimore-American, Pearson's Magazine and others have all recognized no editorially. Pearson's for March, 1918, published one of my poems a photograph of the author and an act of an open letter of mine. Reently I was awarded a prize in a Poetry Contest conducted by the American Ambition Association, Philadelphia, Pa. But all the while for about twenty five years have endeared to make myself worthy the good things said about me. In addition to serious reading and study, I com-posed a special course in Poetics and Versification. Let me say that one word of apreciation from a competent Negro is valued by me beyond anything that can be said by a member of the white race. The very fine letter I received recently from the newly-pointed Associate editor of the Negro World gave me one of the great and delightful thrills of my life. Now, to another side of the poetic art as applied to Negro writers, What I am going to say is not complimented and facts must be taken into account. Aside from a wholesome anime and liberal "pats on the back" I have received practically no financial returns for my poems. So far as I know, there is not a single Negro publication in America that pays for a poem written by a Negro. This, more than anything else, keeps the literary standard low. When our editors begin to pay out cash to their beneficiaries, Negro posts will become critical as to what they accept. Thus will a worthwhile standard be established and our people, as well as other people, will begin to recognize Negro magazines just for the sake of the poem by a Negro author they like. Generally speaking, poets, as other artists, are deplorably exploited by capitalists. A real poet has something to say. When he has said it he must have an audience, whether or not that audience pays him for the conceptions of his soul. Poetry is the highest form of literary expression. Believe it or not, a true artist of any artist that keeps him alive an irresistible urge that keeps him alive wears him down even to death if it fails to express himself. To short a dream is more tragical to one's health than any physical abortion can ever be. The poet is thoroughly in love with his work. This is true of artists of all kinds. This is why they are exploited. The psychology of the matter is this: 'If a bird is going to sim anyway and we shall have the bene of song, why, compensate it for its service, is what cheapens an artistic expression. The public that has been used to obtain these services grants from the many voluntary singers and expressionists of all kinds. But the servant is always worthy of his hire, and whoever fails to pay a man for a service rendered to the person who obtains it, the benefit clairy is forever indebted to his benevolent master.

Vision, through and do; Beth's glad glow; ch blow award my foe: unfailing, true— u hadst fallen low World of woe, more for you,— award Heaven's bright blue,— This, I know— cash that they may live and do better work. The fact that a true artist would rather do his chosen work grant is to the world than do any other work for gold is why the system of capitalism and commercialism is very unjust to him and underpays him often beyond his endurance. But this is a new age and we are the New Negro. Men become new only though a new attitude of mind. Love, the greatest word in any language and this means Cooperation. A recognition of this basic fact has made the New Negro a day when we fully realize this lesson, we shall not expect nor accept without price, the services of our posts and other master artists. Cordially and sincerely yours, -LUCIAN B. WATKINS. THE DEFENSE IN THE CONFERENCE ENCE WITH OTHERS MINISTRY It is not natural for a church to want the activities of a young and strong minister. The time demands it as well as work which is more complex and strenuous. Yet the writer is very sorry that the church at Dover Mines could not find a better way to honor their pastor, Rev. W. W. Young who has worn himself out in their service of more than thirty years. He is honored and be loved by all of the brethren of this city and vicinity with all that may be said of him as a builder of church as pastor. For he has built many in our vicinity. We wonder that from next Sunday to day of his life which may be very short he is to live the life of his fellow ministers, who have been taken to take offerings for him. This is a reflection on Dover Mine Baptist church and this newly elected pastor. A. D. DALY RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1920 PERSONALS AND BRIEFSA —Attorney J.

John Mitchell, Jr. Dear Sir.—A former resident of Richmond and an ex-employee of of your office wishes the privilege of using a little of the space in The "Planet" to apprise the residents of this city and the public generally of the recent actions of the Superintendent of Schools, E. C. Glass (white) and the self educated Principal of Payno School Miss Anna LeGrand (white) a repetition of former such actions. Miss Norma Clayton, a very estimable young lady, a graduate of the would be Colored High School of Lynchburg Va., Howard University Academy and the Teachers' College of Howard University was elected by the Board of Education to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Vasser and assumed her duties at the beginning of the term in September 1919 and taught said grade until she was forced on account of the need of a surgical operation to give up the position to enter the hospital for treatment. Her grade work and been completed and her pupils were removed at the time she was compelled to leave for the hospital, so it was necessary that a substitute be appointed to take up the work for the remainder of the term which was nearly completed so Mrs. Mrs. Ora Roberts, a graduate of the Danville High School similar to the would be High School at Lynchburg and also a graduate of Hartshorn College was appointed and served. Upon Miss Clayton's return to her former duties, she learned that the principal who has arbitrarily caused the graduates of reputable schools who showed efficiency to her be removed or resign unless they would be removed or to the承纳 whim of the principal in an in ante bellum days to the trynical methods of the Superintendent whose greatest fame as an educator lay in the fact that he was with the local school system from the beginning as he, too, is one of the self taught ones. The back stairs politics of the Prinipal who stated Miss Clayton's work was efficient recommending to the blased Superintendent a non compareable change, the frequent visits of staff to the Superintendent caused Miss Clayton's reputation rather than return and humble herself before the self educated principal who is glorified, surrounded by her hand picked teachers who must knuckle or bow as before stated to the whims of the all powerful officials. Colored citizens know their relation shack to the educational system, and seek as a result to question the acts of any of its public servants white or black. Miss Clayton was tendered a double school of failed pupils, but considering that no charge of inefficiency had been brought against her work declined to accept any other grade than that originally assigned to her. At this point I am furnishing the piece of a fable of the college graduates to lay down the methods of system and gave up the work; Miss Virgile Vassar, Howard College, Miss Rosa Vassar, Cornell, Miss Davis, Howard University; Miss Clayton, Howard University. In this letter I am attempting to lay bare the facts relative to the tactics employed o replace capably trained teachers for those whose chief ability lay in pleasing the personal vanity of the aforementioned officials. I shall in my next letter give more fully the details of this travesty on an educational system for the colored rea of this city. This is an ora in which the city is thoroughly understood and one can not be the recipient of an education if the persons are not manly and wo manly in their vocation as teachers. Puppets can properly serve. In conclusion I am asking the question "Why does Lynchburg lose her colored college graduates as teachers and advance those who are less trained?" Either the system is wrong or there is the necessity of converting the self taught members of the system. Thanking you for your valuable space. MR. BUSINESS MAN.

Chicago, Ill., Feb. 12.—Major General Leonard Wood, the most prominent American today demonstrates his presidential caliber before the Lincoln League assembled. He stated his platform in fifty words by saying: "I stand for the Rooseveltian Square. Deaf and strict application to the principles of Americanism in the functioning of our government, as exemplified by Abraham Lincoln; an honest adherence to the constitution; and the rigid enforcement of Law and Order. In other words, America must be made safe for Ameri cans." Like Lincoln of old Leonard Wood stands for a government of all the people, by all the people, and for all the people. He has pledged himself time and time again thrust his long career of unprecedented and loyal Public Service to help all people who are in trouble. Today he stands not as any State's "favorite son" but the people of the nation's "favorite son." His popularity like Lincoln has grown from the ground up and not from the people down. It is the men and women who are not politicians just the ordinary people who land the multitudinous thousands on the play work-a-day people who want Leonard Wood as president of the United States. Just as that delegate at the Lincoln League an old veteran of the Spanish-American war and a soldier in the 10th Calvary in the battle of San Juan Hill, as General Wood said "There are no braver men than those colored boys I commanded in Cuba, roso and cried out." General I was the first person I never knew. So I say the president, "U.S., are arising and crying out. We want Leonard Wood as the next great Re publican leader." PRICE, FIVE CENTS. GREAT EXTENSION DRIVE OF VIRGINIA BRASTIST STATE CONVENTION. Bretten, listen, get in a hurry! The train is on the main line, bound for Staunton and will soon blow for your station. If you have not already raised the largest amount of money you have ever carried to the Virginia Baptist State Convention, get help for as a convention we must break all records in our next annual gathering, and to do this, each individual church must bring up more money than ever before. We have organized the state into districts, appointed a superintendent over each district and given them the following apportionments: Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and vintiles. Dr. C. P. Madison, Superintendent $3500; Newport News, Hampton and vicinties, Dr. C. E. Jones $2000; Richmond and vicinty, Dr. L. C. Carhard $2500; Petersburg and vicinty Dr. S. A.

H. R. Layell will bring us $1500. Virginia and Washington D. C. $150 And on, on, on through Maryland West Virginia and New Jersey (they are coming. Some may think these figures are a little large; but brethren, we are raling to build our great administration hall which will cost almost a hundred thousand dollars. This is a big thing; but we must rise in our might, kiss the high water mark with lips of sacred devotion, and in the strength of the Lord do what may seem to some to be the impossible. If we come unto Staucnion with the hard hand on our brows, the blood of strife fathom in our bells and the prayer of strife beckons, our God will cover his servant, the glory of the most blessed achievement; heaven will be pleased, God will ored, men startled and hell intimidated. Let every sacerintendent who has not already done so, call the forces together in his district, make a church to church campaign program and help each the other raise his church money. Those very reminding rural churches to reach personally, write them and stir up their pure minds respecting this great Kingdom Extension Drive, and if any church fails to be reached by any one of these superintendent rally anyhow and meet us in Stimulation with sheaves of golden grain. Let all of the pastors in every district rally around your superintendent. You may be the superintendent of your district next year and will need your men to rally around you. Yours for the extension of our Master's Kingdom, T. J. KING, President of the Va. Baptist State Convention. THE MINISTERS' CONFERENCE.

The Conference expresses a strong feeling of regret that three months no way made by which it might show the deference and love or to so distinguished them, so well known by them, as Dr. S. A. Moses. All we know is that he will be brought to this city and buried, directly from the train. The matter effecting Rev. W. W. Young and his relation to his church was also brought to the attention of the conference. Mention was made of the Hereteles who are coming among us supposed to be preaching the gospel. The members of the conference are the sick list are infringing. Many visitors were in to see Dr. M. B. Huesel of N. Y. Several visitors are in progress and souls are coming to Christ.

Nearly All Prominent Enemy Figures in World War Summoned for Trial. Paris, Feb. 3.—Paul Dutasta, secretary of the peace conference this evening handed to Baron von Lersner head of the German delegation the list of German persons whose extradition is demanded from Germany. The list is headed by former Crown Prince Frederick William and several other sons of the former German Emperor. The list will be handed to Baron Kurt von Lersner, the German representative here, this afternoon. Included in the list are Dr. Theo bald von Bethmann-Hollweg, former German Imperial Chancellor; Field Marshal von Hindenburg, General Erich Ladendorff, former first quartermaster general; Field Marshal von Mackenson, Crown Prince, Rupprecht, of Bavaria; the Duke of Wurtemberg and a number of other princes and titled officers. 800 ARE ON LIST. The total number of names on the list is about $80 and it is divided into eight sections. The first section is a common list of all the accused. They follow seven other lists, giving the names, rank and accusations of persons whose names were supplied by Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Romania Juge-Slavia and Poland. The draft note to be sent to Germany with the list of persons whose extradition is to be demanded by the allies, was approved by the council of ambassadors today. It was decided by the council that neither the note nor the list should be made public here. DISCUSS REPLY TO HOLLAND The council also discussed the reply to Holland regarding the surrender of former Emperor William to the allies which Holland refused in her recent answer to the allied demand. The terms of the proposed allied response were considered at length, and will be further taken up at the next meeting of the council on Friday. It is not expected however, that a decision will be reached on that day as the different governments interested must be consulted. The request of Poland for arms and supplies was under consideration for some time by the council. It was not decided however whether help of this kind would be supplied to the Polish government; FACTS ABOUT MEMPHIS, TENN Memphis must have a fine hotel where persons of the race may stop, while passing through the city. A proposed $50,000 hotel is now being built through the columns of the pa papers in this city. The racemen want enterprises of every kind. A coffin manufacturing plant is also being erected (in the columns of the press) by leading citizens of the race. This people must be up and doing and try to make it for the coming generations. With the closing of everything here especially the churches, business along all lines is hampered. Seemingly, since the closing of everything, "the flu" is spreading worse. For two Sun days, the churches except the Catholics, have been closed in this city. Dean L. B. Moore of Washington, D. C., was in the city a few days ago. He is a well known educator of the race. The race papers of this section of the country aren't leaving anything, or stones inturned; they are welding the journalistic pen against lawlessness, lynchers and unfair trials for persons of the race. This irrebellious set of people, the racemen must have justice from some where; France is now calling for racemen of the Unit ed States, to come to the unprojudiced land of the east, and let their buckets down into the enrolling streams of the orient and get out of life the good there is in it. The School for ex-service men in this city seems to be a dream; that is, a certain number of men must be had before the school will begin for the colored ex-service men. It seems that the racemen must be last in everything, but they get there just the same. The thrilling story of Devastated France and no man's land by Corporal A wm. H. W. Cochrell is now in the hands of the printers. Readers watch the papers for the announcement through the columns of this paper. Every student of history should read this little book that was written by a real soldier. We have in this city a young man that wants to connect himself with some good paper that pay for service rendered. He has travelled practically over a goodly number of the Provinces of France and he can give histori cal data, which will be of great value to the race's literature, and valuable information for the race in general. Any race spirited leader may write this young man, address 174 South Third street National News Agency. (Wm. H. W. Cochrell, veteran of World War.) 1917-19. Mr. William P. Fuller the brother of Dr. T. O. Fuller passed away Monday, February 2, at Jane Terrell Baptist Hospital of this city. He was buried in this city, at his own request. The students of Howe Institute are very anxious for the school to begin very anxious for the school to have ceased to operate, there seems to be a gloom hovering over the city. The school boys and girls aren't seen on the streets, the churches all closed, make life look just a little dull. Much improvement has been made on the school this term, rooms beautifully lighted and painted, but the suspension of intellectual arms, make things look very dull, indeed. Howe is a good old school and the young men and women want the doors to open again. SPECIAL RULING ON REINSTATE MENT OF THE WAR RISK INSURANCE Under a new and very liberal ruling of far-reaching importance to millions of former service men, issued by Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance with the approval of Secretary of Treasury Carter Glass, War Risk (term) Insurance regardless of how long it may have been lapsed or can be ceased, and regardless of how long the former service man may have been discharged, may be reinstated any time before July 1, 1920. The only conditions are: 1. Two monthly premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated must accompany the application. 2. The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of discharge or at the expiration of the grace period whichever is the later date, and so state in the application. The new ruling is the most import ant liberalization of War Jisk. Insurance since the passage of the Sweet bill and is designed for the benefit of service men who failed to reinstate their insurance prior to the law, and who have been discharged more than 18 months. Ex-service men may still reinstate their lapsed term insurance at any time within 18 months following the month of discharge by complying with the same conditions. Within 3 months following the month of discharge reinstatement may be made by simply remitting 2 months premiums without a formal application or statement as to health. Reinstatement may also be made after 18 months following discharge as follows: If the insurance has not been lapsed longer than three months by complying with the conditions outlined in I, and 2, above. From the fourth to the eleventh month, include, after lapse by complying with the same conditions and in addition submitting a formal report of examination made by a reputable physician substantiating the statement of health to the satisfaction of the Director of the Bureau. In announcing the new ruling, DI rector Cholmchey-Jones desires to emphasize the fact that War Risk (term) Insurance or U. S. Government (converted) Life Insurance may now be made payable to any of the following new and enlarged group of beneficiaries: Parent, grandparent, step/parent, wife (or husband) child, step-child, adopted child; grandchild, brother, sister, half brother, through adoption sister through adoption step/brother, step/sister, parent through adoption, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother in-law sister in law, persons who have stood in the relation of a parent to the insured for aperiod of one year or more prior to his enlistment or induction, or the child or children of such persons; parent, grandparent step parent, or parent through adoption of the insured's wife (or husband.) War Risk (term) Insurance may be converted into United States Government Life Insurance, now or at any time within five years after the form of termination of the war by proclamation of the President. United States Government (converted) Life Insurance including Ordinary Life, Twenty Payment Life, Thirty Payment Life, Twenty Year Endowment, Thirty Year Endowment and Endowment at Age 62, may now be paid in a lump sum at death if such method of payment is designated by the insured. PHILADELPHIA IS TO HAVE A MODERN BALL PARK.

Feb. 10.—The record for the first month of the New Year at the National Training School in this city, shows a splendid mark of efficiency among the students in their studies. This is indeed encouraging to president James E. Shepard, the faculty and the board of trustees who are giving their best thought, and keenest interest to 'the improvement of the school. The National Training School put itself on record for patriotism and in industry during the World War in the conservation of supplies and provisions and by purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of Liberty Bonds, War Saving Stamps and the cultivation of an abundance of food stuff of the thirty four acre school farm. This institution has actually grown from its struggles from a small beginning to its present status of strength and influence. It has, so impressed itself upon the people of Durham and the State as to merit the approval of men in high position. Mayor M. E. Menson of this city in a recent letter to Judge Jeter C. Pritchard at Ashville, N. C., said: "I have noticed for some time your interest in the National Training School of this city and I wish to thank you in behalf of this community for your many efforts in connection with the upbuilding of this institution. HALIFAX COUNTY OPENS WAR FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. Launches 12 Months Campaign on Co-operative Basis—Fairfax is Pleased With Results. Richmond, Va., Feb. 11.—With Dr. W. A. Newman in charge as field director for the State Department of Health, Halifax County this week is launching a twelve month cooperative Sanitation Unit. Headquarters of the unit have been opened at South Boston and the county will witness a year long battle against the germs of diseases fought by experts in health work. Fairfax County which is just closing a year of intensive health work also on the cooperative plan, by which a county puts up one-half of the cost and the State Department of health and the International Health Board the other half, is so well pleased with the results achieved under Field Director Dr. E. L. Planagan, that it has determined to continue the work entirely at its own expense and has engaged Dr. Planagan to continue in charge. Albemarle County is preparing for a similar health crusade on the twelve month plan while Augusta is nearing the close of a like campaign conducted under the direction of Dr. H. M. Wallace. Other counties in which health campaigns are being waged on this basis are Alexandria, Fauquier Prince William, and Pittsburg.

Nearly All Prominent Enemy Figures in World War Summoned for Trial. Paris, Feb. 3.—Paul Dutasta, secretary of the peace conference this evening handed to Baron von Lersner head of the German delegation the list of German persons whose extradition is demanded from Germany. The list is headed by former Crown Prince Frederick William and several other sons of the former German Emperor. The list will be handed to Baron Kurt von Lersner, the German representative here, this afternoon. Included in the list are Dr. Thee bald von Bethmann-Hollweg, former German Imperial Chancellor; Field Marshal von Hindenburg, General Erich Ladendorff, former first quartermaster general; Field Marshal von Mackensen, Crown Prince, Rupprecht, of Bavaria; the Duke of Wurtemberg and a number of other princes and titled officers. S00 ARE ON LIST. The total number of names on the list is about $00 and it is divided into eight sections. The first section is a common list of all the accused. They follow seven other lists, giving the names, rank and accusations of persons whose names were supplied by Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Romania, Juice Shiav and Poland. The draft note to be sent to Germany with the list of persons whose extradition is to be demanded by the allies, was approved by the council of ambassadors today. It was decided by the council that neither the note nor the list should be made public here. DISCUSS REPLY TO HOLLAND The council also discussed the reply to Holland regarding the surrender of former Emperor William to the allies which Holland refused in her recent answer to the allied demand. The terms of the proposed allied response were considered at length, and will be further taken up at the next meeting of the council on Friday. It is not expected however, that a decision will be reached on that day as the different governments interested must be consulted. The request of Poland for arms and supplies was under consideration for some time by the council. It was not decided however whether help of this kind would be supplied to the Polish government; --- FACTS ABOUT MEMPHIS, TENN Memphis must have a fine hotel where persons of the race may stop while passing through the city. A proposed $50,000 hotel is now being built through the columns of the papers in this city. The racemen want enterprises of every kind. A coffin manufacturing plant is also being erected (in the columns of the press) by leading citizens of the race. This people must be up and doing and try to make it for the coming generations. With the closing of everything here especially the churches, business along all lines is hampered. Seemingly, since the closing of everything, "the fin" is spreading worse. For two Sundays, the churches except the Catholics, have been closed in this city. Dean L. B. Moore of Washington, D. C., was in the city a few days ago. He is a well known educator of the race. The race papers of this section of the country aren't leaving anything, or stones unturned; they are welding the journalistic pen against lawlessness, lynchers and unfair trials for persons of the race. This irrebellious set of people, the racemen must have justice from some where; France is now calling for racemen of the Unit ed States, to come to the unprejudiced land of the east, and let their buckets down into the enrolling streams of the orient and get out of life the good there is in it. The School for ex-service men in this city seems to be a dream; that is, a certain number of men must be had before the school will begin for the colored ex-service men. It seems that the racemen must be last in everything, but they get there just the same. The thrilling story of Devastated France and no man's land by Corporal A wm. H. W. Cochrell is now in the hands of the printers. Readers watch the papers for the announcement through the columns of this paper. Every student of history should read this little book that was written by a real soldier. We have in this city a young man that wants to connect himself with some good paper that pay for service rendered. He has travelled practically over a good number of the Provinces of France and he can give historical data, which will be of great value to the race's literature, and valuable information for the race in general. Any race spirited leader may write this young man, address 174 South Third street National News Agency (Wm. H. W. Cochrell, veteran of World War.) 1917-19. Mr. William P. Fuller the brother of Dr. T. O. Fuller passed away Monday, February 2, at Jane Terrell Baptist Hospital of this city. He was buried in this city, at his own request. The students of Howe Institute are very anxious for the school to begin very anxious for the school to have ceased to operate, there seems to be a gloom hovering over the city. The school boys and girls aren't seen on the streets, the churches all closed, make life look just a little dull. Much improvement has been made on the school this term, rooms beautifully lighted and painted, but the suspension of intellectual arms, makes things look very dull, indeed. Howe is a good old school and the young men and women want the doors to open again. SPECIAL RULING ON REINSTATE MENT OF THE WAR RISK INSURANCE Under a new and very liberal ruling of far-reaching importance to millions of former service men, issued by Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance with the approval of Secretary of Treasury Carter Glass, War Risk (term) Insurance regardless of how long it may have been lapsed or can ceased, and regardless of how long the former service man may have been discharged, may be reinstated any time before July 1, 1820. The only conditions are: 1. Two monthly premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated must accompany the application. 2. The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of discharge or at the expiration of the grace peril whichever is the later date, and so state in the application. The new ruling is the most import ant liberalization of War blisk Insurance since the passage of the Sweet bill and is designed for the benefit of service men who failed to reinstate their insurance prior to the law, and who have been discharged more than 18 months. Ex-service men may still reinstate their lapsed term insurance at any time within 18 months following the month of discharge by complying with the same conditions. Within 3 months following the month of discharge reinstatement may be made by simply remitting 2 months premiums without a formal application or statement as to health. Reinstatement may also be made after 18 months following discharge as follows. If the insurance has not been lapsed longer than three months by complying with the conditions outlined in 1. and 2. above. From the fourth to the eleventh month, include, after lapse by complying with the same conditions and in addition submitting a formal report of examation made by a reputable physician substantiating the statement of health to the satisfaction of the Director of the Bureau. In announcing the new ruling, DI rector Cholemley-Jones desires to emphasize the fact that War Risk (term) Insurance or U. S. Government (converted) Life Insurance may now be made payable to any of the following new and enlarged group of beneficiaries: Parent, grandparent, step/parent, wife (or husband) child, step/child, accepted child; grandchild, brother, sister, half brother, through adoption sister through adoption step/brother, step/sister, parent through adoption, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother in-law sister in law, persons who have stood in the relation of a parent to the insured for aperiod of one year or more prior to his enlistment or induction, or the child or children of such persons; parent, grandparent step parent, or parent through adoption of the insured's wife (or husband.) War Risk (term) Insurance may be converted into United States Government Life Insurance, now or at any time within five years after the form of termination of the war by proclamation of the President. United States Government (converted) Life Insurance including Ordinary Life, Twenty Payment Life, Thirty Payment Life, Twenty Year Endowment, Thirty Year Endowment and Endowment at Age 62, may now be paid in a lump sum at death if such method of payment is designated by the insured.

Feb. 10.—The record for the first month of the New Year at the National Training School in this city, shows a plethidid mark of efficiency among the students in their studies. This is indeed encouraging to president James E. Shepard, the faculty and the board of trustees who are giving their best thought and keenest interest to the improvement of the school. The National Training School put itself on record for patriotism and in industry during the World War in the conservation of supplies and provisions and by purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of Liberty Bonds, War Saving Stamps and the cultivation of an abundance of food stuff of the thirty four acre school farm. This institution has actually grown from its struggles from a small beginning to its present status of strength and influence. It has, so impressed itself upon the people of Durham and the State as to merit the approval of men in high position, Mayor M. E. Menson of this city in a recent letter to Judge Jeter C. Pritchard at Ashville, N. C., said: "I have noticed for some time your interest in the National Training School of this city and I wish to thank you in behalf of this community for your many efforts in connection with the unbuilding of this institution. HALFAX COUNTY OPENS WAR FOR HEALTH IMPROVEMENT Launches 12 Months Campaign on Co-operative Basis—Fairfax is Pleased With Results Richmond, Va., Feb. 11,—With Dr. W. A. Newman in charge as field director for the State Department of Health, Halifax County this week is launching a twelve month cooperative Sanitation Unit. Headquarters of the unit have been opened at South Boston and the county will witness a year long battle against the germs of diseases fought by experts in health work. Fairfax County which is just closing a year of intensive health work also on the cooperative plan, by which a county puts up one half of the cost and the State Department of health and the International Health Board the other half, is so well pleased with the results achieved under Field Director Dr. E. L. Flanagan, that it has determined to continue the work entirely at its own expense and has engaged Dr. Flanagan to continue in charge. Albemarle County is preparing for a similar health crusade on the twelve month plan while Augusta is nearing the close of a like campaign conducted under the direction of Dr. H. M. Wallace. Other counties in which health campaigns are being waged on this basis are Alexandria, Fauquier Prince William, and Pittsburgh.

Senate Post-Office Committee Told Farmers to Cut Production or Abauddon Farms. Washington, 7.1.—Decreased farm production next year and a cone sequent increase in the cost of living due to dissatisfaction of farmers was predicted before the Senate Post Office Committee today by James I. Blaksele, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. More than 40,000 answers to 200,000 questionaires sent to farmers he said, indicate a condition "disquiet ing and tortuous of disastrous cone- quences." A report summarizing the contents of the farmers' anwars prepared by George L. Wood superintendent of the Division of Rural Malls, was read to the committee by Mr. Blaklee. Declaring that the farmers of the country were tired of receiving low re-turns for long, hard periods of toll while city dwellers lived in ease and comfort, with high wages and short hours, the report said that many of the replies received, indicated that hundreds of farmers have resolved to either quit the farm entirely or greatly decrease-production next year. Complaint was made in a majority of the replies. The report said of the high prices paid by consumers as compared with the low return to the farmer, indicating an entirely disproportionate profit for the middleman. Many farmers, the report said, draw comparisons between "the hours of labor required of the farmer and his compensation with those of the urbanite, of which the farmer bitterly compains, setting forth the soft and luxurious living of the latter as compared with the hard and bare living of the farmer who is no longer willing to toil and produce for the striker the profiteer and the short hours, high wage man." A comment by a member of the committee that the replies seemed to be "mostly from a bunch of Bolsheviks." Mr. Blakssle replied that such a state of mind undoubtedly was indicated and that in his opinion the situation was extremely serious. Inability to obtain farm labor was indicated in the Wood report to be one of the chief complaints of the farmers. Declarating that the short age of farm labor was "causing great antagonism on the part of the producer toward the city dweller," the report said that the "great demand in the cities for labor, with high pulses and short hours is driving the farm hired help and the farmers, boys and girls to the city." HIGH COSTS ANGER FARMERS. The high cost of wearing apparel of staples not produced on the farm of farm implements and fertilizers all of which seem to have filled the farmers' mind with discouragement and resentment is certain to result in the curtailment of food production," the Declaring that the letters received from 40,000 farmers, with hundreds of others arriving daily, contained "alarming information that the country ought to know," the report said that the replies 'disclose such a state of mind and feeling on the part of many producers and such a spirit of antagonism toward their fellows who dwell in the cities as to give cause for grave apprehension." The time is very near, wrote a farmer at East Chatam, N. Y., when we farmers will have to curtail production and raise only what we need for our own use, and let the other fellows look out for themselves. Labor unions are more to blame for the high prices than any one else. People are trying to get pay for what they don't earn." HEARS FROM MISSOURI Writing from Palmyra Mo., another farmer said: "I almost fear a famine. Farm help everywhere us flocking to the city, urged by short hours high wages and the promise of a good time. Some one, I fear, is going to suffer if this condition is not remedied shortly." His return for last year averaged $1 a day for himself, a Whitewater, Mo., man said adding: I hope soon to see the farmer and consumer going hand in hand. If not then I am quitting, for one. Work fourteen hours a day for $1 and let the middleman get the biggest part of it? Not me." I have just finished figuring up what the eggs, poultry and cream that I sold last year brought me," another farmer said; and I will not be in the business next year. HON, CHARLES W.

In almost every community in the United States there is a discharged soldier, sailor, marine or war horse suffering from some injury or almight which dates back to service with the fighting forces. Often this injury or allment has made it hard or impossible for them to fit in where they did formerly. They are handicapped and need help not charity, but mental and physical reconstruction. In many cases such people unfortunately keep their trous les to themselves. They are reluctant to seek aid or advice for fear their friends might consider them weak. Possibly you know such a person. If you do, encourage him to take his troubles to the Government. The War Risk Insurance Bureau and the United States Public Health Service are especially anxious to get in touch with such individuals. The Public Health Service has set up a chain of reconstruction bases throughout the country for beneficiaries of the War Risk Bureau. These are not Army hospitals, nor is there Army discipline in connection with them, but rather a system of hospitals similar to the general hospital in large cities except that the treatment is free and goes much further than in the ordinary hospital. Recreation, vocational training and wholesome entertainment are combined with treatment. While men are being bodily rebuilt they have the opportunity of learning some useful occupation, or pursuing academic studies. They are taught not only to find themselves, but to better their condition. The environment is as homelike as it is possible to make it. Agreat many men who went into the Army have developed tuberculosis and other diseases requiring special treatment. The Public Health Service has separate hospitals and sanatoriums for these patients, where they may get the best treatment known to medical science. A large number of soldiers are not yet aware that the Government offers them free treatment. Please tell them. Subscribe to the Richmond Planet.

Senate Post-Office Committee Told Farmers to Cut Production or Abandon Farm. Washington, 7.1.—Decreased farm production next year and a con- sequent increase in the cost of living due to dissatisfaction of farmers was predicted before the Senate Post- Office Committee today by James L. Blakksle, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. More than 40,000 answers to 200,000 questionaires sent to farmers he said, indicate a condition "disquiet- ing and tortuous of disastrous con- sequences." A report summarizing the contents of the farmers' answers prepared by George L. Wood superintendent of the Division of Rural Malls, was road to the committee by Mr. Blakside. Declaring that the farmers of the country were tired of receiving low res returns for long, hard periods of toll while city dwellers lived in ease and comfort, with high wages and short hours, the report said that many of the replies received, indicated that hundreds of farmers have received to either quit the farm entirely or greatly decrease production next year. MAJORITY MAKE COMPLIANT. Complaint was made in a majority of the replies the report said of the high prices paid by consumers as compared with the low return to the farmer, indicating an entirely disproportionate profit for the middleman. Many farmers, the report said draw comparisons between "the hours of labor required of the farmer and his compensation with those of the urban life, of which the farmer bitterly complains, setting forth the soft and luxurious living of the latter as compared with the hard and bare living of the farmer who is no longer willing to toil and produce for the striker the profiteer and the short hours, high wage man."

We all expect to meet in heaven or in the other place. From the way people are acting, most of us will meet in 'the other place.' Temperance people opposed whiskey as a beverage and were in favor of it as a medicine. Prohibitionists opposed it both as a beverage and as a medicine and cooly say, if liquor, then let him die. The Black Star Steamship Yarmouth, under British registry was saved much annoyance by flying the British flag. It was a steamship owned and manned by colored men, carrying a white man's cargo of liquor that both white and black men wanted. It begins to look as though Prohibition Commissioner will get two years more of life and one hundred thousand dollars to boot. It was thought at one time that his department was radical, but in comparison with the service rendered by the United States Prohibition. Department Mr. Peters is superior by about a mile. Hon. Harry C. Smith is happy over the fact that he succeeded when a member of the Ohio legislature in having enacted an anti-lynching law that has stood the test of the courts and under which provisions, the family or relatives of a man lynched may obtain damages. From reading the extracts in the Cleveland, Ohio Gazette, the drawing up of this statute was the work of a mastor. We would like to know if the very able, Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, President of the National Baptist Convention believes away down in his heart of hearts that Robert L. Hill, under arrest in Kansas can get justice in the courts of Arkansas? We would also like to know if he believes that those colored men now in the Arkansas penitentiary, under sentence of death and the others undergoing long terms of imprisonment got justice? We must admit that we have high respect for the Chief Executive of that State and we believe that if the matter was absolutely in his hands, fair-play and merited punishment would go hand in hand. It seems to us that Hill will walk into the electric chair with his eyes wide open should he return to that State and be he guilty or innocent neither white men nor colored men will go that route if there is any way to get by in another direction. We have never understood the merits and merits of this unfortunate affair. We do know that white men can com mil crimes and go scot free, but when colored men commit crimes, they must face the music and die without a tremor. Again, we ask the question can Hill and his associates got a fair trial in Arkansas? SECRECY THE WATCH WORD The meeting of the League of Nations convened in London, February 11, 1920 and one of its first acts was to nullify one of the specific guarantees in President Wilson's Fourteen Points. It would seem that this celebrated document, which Germany accepted to its sorrow may now be classed with the much talked about scrap of paper. The bringing of the nations of the world back to the foundations of truth, fair-dealing and justice is evidently a slow task. Men in this age are disposed to regard lightly the spoken word and even more lightly the written one. The masses have tried the experiment of inducting new, inexperienced men into office and they have discarded the teaching of centuries. The nations of the earth must necessarily pay the price in the long run and much trouble and suffering must not necessarily result. Some how, it seems that conditions are much similar to those portrayed in the Scriptures, when it was admitted that men would not stand sound doctrine. The expounder of truth is rather lonesome in this age and some of the leading orators say one thing to the public and do another before the last man has passed out of the front entrance. POET WATKINS' OBSERVATIONS Mr. Lucian B. Watkins writes of his experiences as a poet. He should remember that it is indeed a rocky road that marks the way to eminence in this direction. We regard him as a genius in this particular line. We would to God that he could be valued at his true worth. Sometimes, however he will reap what he has sown and will garner that which has been the result of the years of his labor. Even Paul Laurence Dunbar secured or had secured for him a government job in order to enable himself to oke out an existence. Mr. Watkins is more fortunate. The people are slow to appreciate rare ability, but when it comes forth in its pristine splendor, money enough will accompany it to enable the author to keep out of the poor-house. We hope during our day though to see Mr. Watkins the recipient of a com fortable income from his productions and we hope that our people may be the leaders in the movement to make him financially independent. EDITOR SMITH'S REJOINDER Editor Harry C. Smith wields a vitriolic pen at times and says some things that "cut to the quick." He takes issue with Editor Chandler Owens of New York in what he says concerning colored editors and then at the same time says nothing to defend Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, the object of the specific attack by this merciless New York Editor. In one brief communication, he denies his support of Simmons and thus reflects upon him. He bitterly assails Editor Chandler Owens and he "wipes up the floor," so to speak with Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who was not a party to the controversy. When it comes to lambasting his enemies and condemning those leaders, whom he believes to be untrue to the fundamental rights of the colored people, Editor Harry C. Smith is in a class al to himself. Conscientious, uncompromising, faithful to his friends and merciless to his enemies for more than a quarter of a century, he has been a unique and forceful character in Afro-American journalism SECRETARY ROBERT LANSING'S RESIGNATION. According to reliable reports, President Woodrow Wilson dismissed Hona Robert Lansing from his cabinet, but he did not disturb his Secretary of State for he was his own Secretary of State. In charging that Mr. Lansing had usurped the prerogatives of the President himself, he became both accuser and trial judge vesting in himself the powers of both the sheriff and jailer for he carried out the sentence of the "court" and put up the bars that could confine the distinguished diplomat to the confines on the outside It seems to us that the letter accepting the resignation not only removed Mr. Lansing from office, but constituted a rebuke to those members of his cabinet, who had approved of the conferences to which the distinguished occupant of the White House objected. History is being rapidly made at Washington and it seems to us that this episode will constitute one of its most important chapters. THE QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP We note with absolutely no surprise that the Court of Civil Appellals of the State of Tennessee has decided that the National Baptist Board of the National Baptist Convention is a self-perpetuating body under the State charter. In commenting up on this situation of affairs, the Nashville, Tenn., National Baptist Voice says: For some years the difficult conditions and delicate situations arising out of an unwarranted controversy brought on by a daring piece of saints maneuvering to subordinate the National Baptist Convention of the people—the denomination—to a humiliating surrender of the rights of the people—the denomination—to own and control enterprises and properly to the domination of a board that says and shall not be shown enough ability to prove that denomination and if given the right kind of money and an awkward predic tion enough of it, they can build up a great law and a terrif publishing house owned and operat-ility of exposure by the National Baptist Conven- de of that board's tion incorporated. Solah. EDITOR HOLLOWAY'S TRIBUTE. Now it appears that Editor Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Planet was arrested for publishing literature in violation of the Prohibition laws, and was asked to give a three thousand dollars bond. Those who know or know of Mr. Mitchell all this is horrors. Thick of one of the most influential papers of the race. Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the State of Virginia, and otherwise one of the leading citizens of the country, the only Negro member of the American Bankers Association being arrested for printing literature in violation of the prohibition laws of the country. The price of the job is given as only eighteen dollars. What could have been his motive No motive could be given; the whole thing shows up as nothing more or less than an effort to give one of the best members of the Negro race trouble, and to publish to the outside world that all Negroes are criminals. But thanks to a kind prov idece all of the plot was over ruled and the charge dismissed, and Mr. Mitchell highly commended by the courts. It is true that there are white men in this country who want to see the Negroes treated fairly. But it must always happen that the Negro gets a great deal of the unjust punishment before those men can get to his rescue. There is not a more loy al citizen to the government in this country than Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., no matter what his race or color is. (Holena, Ark, Inter-State Reporter.)

The denomination has practically won the fight, matters not how the last court may decide the issue in litigation, for the reason that the board that the denomination, thru its Convention, had authorized and created had loudly proclaimed the ownership and control of the denomination while at the sametime that board was many pulating in deception and hedging it self in by restrictive state law, if such turns out to be the case, precluding and excluding the denomination exercising its rights of ownership and control of this specific board-claimed exterprise and property. And again: But, all this was a sort of blessing in disguise, as the people—the denomination—might have gone on for many more years without pricking this ulcer of hypocrisy, believing in their ownership and control of the enterprise and property. If that board succeeds by the law of Tennesse see of becoming a private concern on powered to take the plant authorized fostered and made possible by the support and liberality of the denomination, then the denomination is prepared; thru the concentrated and concentrating wisdom and deeply acquired experience of our forward-looking leaders, to meet the situation squarely and adequately. There will never again be an operating committee (dominated by one man and his family), which is only a part and a very small part of the General Sunday School Publishing Board, that will succeed in deceiving and judging the Convention and the denomination out of their rights of ownership and control of their enterprise and property. While the National Baptist Voice uses caustic language in its denunciation of Rev. Dr R. H. Boyd and his associates, the conclusions reached are absolutely correct. Dr. Boyd had built better than the National Baptist Convention and its officials knew. They had entrenched themselves in the State of Tennessee and we were of the opinion that it was useless to assail their bulwarks. It was only a waste of time and money. We advised that this money be utilized in purchasing another printing plant and in making a final appeal to the Baptist brotherhood that would be the final arbiters in the matter. We held that until the National Convention could prove that money had been expended by that body, not influence and patronage had been expended on this plant and that this money came out of the treasury of the National Baptist Convention, it was "a far cry" towards attaining final success in a legal controversy. On the other hand we warned Dr. Boyd that he and his associates could not afford to take advantage of the protection given them by the legal barriers that they had erected. It would be better for them to admit the legal ownership by the National Baptist Convention of this printing plant and to present a bill for actual services and the money expended in the founding of this great printing establishment. We also warned President E. C. Morris and his associates that they would lose in the fight if they won it and they necessarily lose if they lost it for the Boyds would never turn over in its entirety a printing plant that would be of any material service for they could easily "junk" the plant before its delivery to the prospective victors. We hope now that the fight will be "called off." Let Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd have the printing plant and the condemnation of thousands of Baptists in the country that he came into possession of it by 'sharp practices." Public sentiment will do more in winning the fight in the long run than years of useless litigation. Moreover, the incorporated National Baptist Convention has no legal claim upon the plant of the National Baptist Pubishing Board for its possession or legal possession antedates the incorporation of the National Baptist Convention. Only the unincorporated body had a lagal right to set up a claim to the plant and an unincorporated body has no legal standing in law. It cannot sue or be sued and it cannot hold property in its name, in the manner that an incorporated body can hold it. As the National Baptist Voice well says, the claim that either National Baptist Convention owns the plant of the National Baptist Publishing Board has been exploded. As the new National Baptist Convention had no existence when the plant was founded and is now the "feeder" for the publishing house and not having given previously either its money or its patronage to the enterprise, we pre assume that anything that suits Rev. Dr. Boyd will suit that body. Our advice to the very able President E. C. Morris and his associates is to turn the stream of money from the law into the coffers of the recent, y established publishing house now successfully operated by the incorporated National Baptist Convention at Nashville, Tennessee. True, there are no such able managers in charge like the Boyds, but it seems to us that the present management has THE PARMOLINE COMPANY, ox 1074, Richmond, Va Yours as ever, REV. R. V.
