The AUDITORIUM SEAT SALEBEGINSTODAY POST CONCERT ENTERTAINMENT AT CATHOLIC HALL Morehouse Glee Club and Orchestra and Local Chorus to be Attraction Kemper Harreld and the twenty-five college men comprising the Morehouse College Glee Club and Orchestra will come to the new Municipal Agditorium, Monday night, January seventh under auspices of the Urban League. The sale of box seats and orchestra seats begin at the Savannah Tribune office this morning. There is a possible one hundred and sixty box seats, but half of these have been set aside for the officials and members of the various social clubs and fraternal organizations which are expected to be out with decorated boxes on the evening of the concert. There are six solo artists numbered among the members of the famous orchestra, viz: a pianist, baritone, cornetist, a basso, a cellist and a violinist, Mr. Harreld himself appearing in this latter role. Only this week, the Atlanta Journal in an article on the recent concert in Atlanta, (directed by Mr. Harreld), remarked, "It doesn't make much difference whether we have grand opera next spring or not. Give us a few concerts by the choir that sang at the Tubernacle Thursday night and we'll get along without the Metropolitan for another year at least. "No such plantation melodies has ever been sung to an Atlanta audience before, but it will be sung again, and many times again, for you can depend upon the thousands entertained Thursday night to demand more of it. "Victor and Edison and Columbia are looking for something to please the public. Let them send a record-making machine to Atlanta * * * and watch these records sell like hot cakes. "Ten thousand heard 'em sing * * * they raved so strong they Interrupted in the middle of the songs. There were millionaires and well-to-business men and men whose salaries are right around the top. As many opera goers were in the audience as were plain people. Go and hear 'em the first chance you get. "Shut your eyes and listen to them while they sing. Shut your eyes and listen close and harken to the feelings they stir within you." The Morhouse Glee Club and orchestra, which formed the nucleus of Mr. Harreld's magnificent Chorus which electrified ten thousand Atlanta people just a week ago, will be here and under the direction of Mr. Harreld. The local chorus, directed by Prof. R. W. Gadsden, which sang so well at the Theatre recital as to cause one Savannah foremost citizen to suggest inviting the Victor and Edison people to send their representative here for record-making, is in regular training for their part of the local program, which as usual will confine itself to Negro music. URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS PUBLIC MEETING The local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes held its annual public meeting last Sunday afternoon at St. Philip A. M. E. church. The meeting was very largely attended and the principal address was delivered by Miss Lucy Laney of Augusta, who stressed, the necessity of more social settlement work among Negroes. She also took a fling at selfish leadership among our people, minded leadership that the racetyriss stating that it was only through broader hope to rise to its proper place among the peoples of the world. Her talk was most heartily received. The other speakers on the program were Rev. S. T. Redd, of Butler Presbyterian church, who told of the work of the league at the Chatham County Industrial farm; Mr. Frank Callen, Probation officer who spoke of the necessity of proper training of the child, and Miss Cornelia McDowell who told of the league's work at the Yamacraw Centre, which she started several years ago. Music for the occasion was rendered by the Urban league chorus. Director J. G. Lemon was master of ceremonies. He took occasion to speak of the league's Christmas and Charity fund which is being raised. Several subscriptions to the fund were received. VOLUME XXXIII MOREHOUSE COLLEGE (ATLANT SCORELESS GAME AT WILBERFORCE ```markdown ``` MOREHOUSE COLLEGE (ATLANT A) GLEE CLUB WHICH WILL APPEAR AT AUDITORIUM JANUARY 7 Wilberforce, O.—An informal football game took place at Wilberforce University on Thanksgiving day, between the ex-students of the university in Camp Sherman, and the informal university team. The air was somewhat chilled but just right for the game. Just previous to the starting of the game the university band played, while the athletic field was being lined with visitors and the student body. The game was a hard and bitter light from start to finish, no penalties being inflicted throughout the whole game. The Wilberforce warriors put up a good exhibition of clean football, much surprising the Camp Sherman "Sammies." They displayed an open attack, resorting frequently to the forward pass but the Camp Sherman "Sammies" were well coached on the aerial game and they broke up practically every attempt to gain by this route. Capt. Galmes of the Camp Sherman Sammies, was instrumental in braking up many of the passes. Lieut Gamblee played a wonderful game at half-back. With the speed of a deer and his terrific line plunging, he displayed much skill in making long end runs. Duplexes, our star player of last year, played very good interference. Our manager and also star player of previous years, Fred Jones, was unable to display his usual football ability, owing to his recent recovery from a sprained ankle. Capt. Isaac Lane, better known as "Sap" of the university team, played a clever game stopping the great end runs of Lleut. Gamblee which would have brought disaster upon the home team. Both teams were evenly matched and the spectators witnessed a clean, thrilling game of football from start to finish. At the last moment, the forth down on the twenty yard line, nine yards to go the quarter-back of the "Sammies" made a forward pass to the left end Points, who fumbled and failed to make a score. ST.

Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY DEC. 15, 1917 Emancipation Day To Be Observed PROF. L. B. THOMPSON OF STATE COLLEGE TO BE SPEAKER The Emancipation celebration on New Year's day will be fittingly observed here. Elaborate preparations are being made and the outlook is that it will be the largest demonstration of its kind held since the days when the Negro militia was in evidence. The arrangements for the celebration of the day is being staged by the Social Clubs Union and everything is being done to make it a successful event. Practically every social club in the city is active in the movement and much interest is being manifested. It is understood that there will be but one parade this year, for the various labor unions have joined in for the occasion. Aside from the social clubs and the unions the uniform rank of the K. of P. and the Knights of Damen will be in line. At a meeting held on last week the Butchers Association and also the Plasters' Union were represented. At this meeting the selection of a speaker and other officials of the day were considered. Prof. L. B. Thompson of the State College will deliver the emancipation address and Attorney J. G. Lemon will read the Proclamation. The conducting of the program will be in the hands of Mr. Edward H. Burke, who will act as master of ceremonies. A very interesting program is being prepared by the committee in charge. It is not yet determined where the celebration will be held. From the fact that many are expected the committee is endeavoring to secure a place capable of accommodating the large crowd. Efforts are being made to have the event held at the new Municipal Auditorium. In keeping with its usual custom, the Eureka Aid and Athletic Club will hold appropriate exercises in the afternoon at its club room, Masonic Temple. Rev. W. G. Alexander will be the speaker. MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY NEW YEAR AMERICAN RED CROSS Buy Red Cross seals for your Christ mas packages. Buy Red Cross seals and help fight Tuberculosis. Every one can help in fighting tuberculosis in the trenches in Europe by buying one Red Cross seal for one cent. A SURPRISE A surprise was tendered Mr. and Mrs. P. Edward Perry on last Tuesday night by several of their friends. The affair was a most delightful one, the evening being spent in card playing and dancing. No meeting at the "Y" tomorrow. Big receiving next Sunday. Look for pro- gram. S. A. Grant, Presi. Atlanta, Dec. 10—The graduates and friends of Atlanta University will celebrate Friday, December 21, as the birth of the founder, Edmon Assa Ware. They consider the time appropriate, especially because so much is being said about real democracy and real freedom, and because Edmon A. Ware gave his life as a demonstrator of the true democracy by living it among the black boys and girls whom he taught to love humanity and to be real men. The speakers for the occasion will be Dr. Crogman of Atlanta, Mrs. Rosa Lawson Stoney and Miss Lucy Laney of Augusta. There will be good music besides. The vesper service last Sunday was largely attended by the friends from the city, and members of the faculty from Agnes Scott College. On last Monday a delegation of teachers of the Technology High school of Atlanta visited Atlanta University and expressed themselves as pleased with what they saw. Mr. E. A. Harleston of Charleston, S. C., a graduate of Atlanta University, who spent many years in studying at the finest art school in the United States, the Museum of Fine Arts School of Boston, is in the city painting portraits. He has painted three portraits of unusual excellence. It is hoped that some time Mr. Harleston will give a public hanging of his paintings. It would be a rare privilege to the colored citizens of Atlanta to have an exhibition of paintings, as well as an inspiration to any who may have aspiration of a like kind. Mr. Harleston will make a visit to Atlanta to paint a potrait of an eminent personage who has already engaged his services. MISS MONROE APPEARS ON RECITAL PROGRAM Miss Amabel I. Monroe who is in Chicago, Ill., was among the students of Karl Reckzeh of the Chicago Musical College to appear in a recital of that college on last Saturday night. Miss Monroe was the only colored pupil to appear on the program and the first of that school to take part in the recitals this year. She will appear again next Saturday in the recital of the school, which will be held at Ziegfield's theatre. Miss Monroe finishes her course in June. REHEARSAL FOR CHRISTMAS CAROLS SUNDAY Children from all the Sunday schools in the city, and members of all the choirs with their directors, are expected to meet at St. Phillips Church, West Broad street, Sunday, Dec. 15, at 3:45 p.m., for rehearsing the music to be sung at the Community Christmas Tree celebration to be held at Dixon Park, December 27, under auspices of the Urban League.

Mr. Benj' F. Robinson returned home on Sunday after a very pleasant stay of seven months at Boston, Mass., with his sister Mine. Claudia C. Allen. Urban League Held Annual Meeting Urban League Held Annual Meeting 26 CITIES WORKING UNDER DIRECTION OF LEAGUE Assisted Negro Migrants to North to Adjust Themselves New York, Dec. 8.—The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, composed of representative white and colored citizens, held its sixth annual meeting on Wednesday afternoon, December 6th, at the offices of its national headquarters, 2303 Seventh Avenue, New York City. dent of the organization presided. A summary of the report for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1917, was made by the executive secretary, Eugene K. Jones, which showed that the work had grown by leaps and bounds, and that there are now twenty-six cities working either directly under League supervision or as a result of the inspiration furnished by the success of the league in other centers; that during the past year the cost of conducting the league's work through its headquarters in New York City has amounted to $30,884.47; that the total amount handled through the various affiliated groups of the league has amounted to $61,000.00. Broadly speaking, the report shows: That the past year of the league's work, from a national standpoint, has consisted mainly of efforts to arouse local communities to the demand for social work among the Negro residents with a view to adjusting them to the requirements of city life. Among the national features is mentioned that the league furnished material from the files of six of the northern organizations for special United States Government report on Negro Migration. That because of the numerous social problems growing out of the migration of more than 800,000 Negroes to cities of the North during the year preceding January 1917, the league held a national conference on Negro Migration in New York City, January 26, 1917, at which both white and colored representatives from national and local organizations from the principal cities of twenty states. North and South were present. Especial emphasis is placed on the adjustment of the Negro migrants to local city conditions. A national Negro Health Week was observed in the effort to reduce the high rate of mortality among colored people. In Atlanta, Ga., some 40,000 people were touched directly, and the Atlanta organization won the first prize awarded by the National Negro Business League for the best organized and most productive Health Week conducted in any locality during that campaign. The largest centers in which complete organization with employed staffs have been perfected are New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburg, Nashville, Tenn, Savannah, Ga., Atlanta, Ga. and Newark, N. J., although special mention should be made of White Plains, N. Y., Englewood, N. J., Trenton, N. J., St. Louis, Mo. and Memphis, Tenn., where good, substantial groups of white and colored citizens are banded together to work for better communities under the league's emblem—"Not Alms but Opportunity." Travelers' Aid Work has been conducted at Norfolk, Va., where 5,199 persons were met, and 623 assisted. Special work either in the form of summer Bible schools, boys' camps, outings for children, mothers and babies, and playground work has been conducted in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Louisville, Nashville, Augusta, Atlanta and Savannah. In each of the cities the work has been divided up under a number of different heads, such as industrial, housing, recreation, prevention of crime, co-operation, investigation, etc., and under each of these heads practical work is being done to adjust conditions between the races, and to help the Negro to a better understanding of his status in the community. The following persons were re-elected as members and officers of the executive board: L. Hollingsworth Wood, president; R. R. Moton, vice president; Kelly Miller, vice president; John T. Emlen, vice president; William H. Baldwin, 3rd Secretary; A. S. Friesell, treasurer; Victor H. McGutcheon, Asst. Treas.; Roger N. Baldwin, William H.

MISS MARGARET WOODROW WILSON'S FIRST DINNER IN SAVANNAH Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the president, enjoyed her first dinner in Savannah last Sunday, prepared by Miss Isadora Murray, cook of Mrs. C. G. Beck. Miss Margaret says the dinner was not only delicious, but was also in keeping with the laws of the food administration on economy. Miss Margaret commented on the way the dinner was prepared very much, and said if every cook in Savannah would be as economical in cooking as Miss Isadora, every one would have enough and more food would be saved also. Miss Isadora thanked Miss Wilson for her compliments and told her she felt highly honored in having the privilege of preparing her first dinner in Savannah.

PAGE TWO FASHION AUTHORIZES MARTIAL STYLES Hats and Boots to Follow Suit New York, Dec. 12—Last spring there was a perfect epidemic of military styles, capes, collars, brass muttons, and so forth, and then the mode changed, as modes will, and the summer fashions were the softest, frillest frills possible to organdles and mulls and that prime favorite, glingham. Now we are having more military costumes, sancer they are too, and seemingly more subtle in their resemblance to the uniform and other togery of the men. Never have brown, army drab, khaki color and navy blue been so much used. Gilt braid, too, abounds on the frocks for afternoon, the most severely plain of all the coat dresses having a touch of militarism that makes the fashion world akin to the real world. High © MOCALL Of Military Simplicity Boots in the lovely mahogany-brown lighter tan have wide military heels; and there are whispers that woolen stockings, oh, fine, soft, lovely wollen stockings, are replacing the cobwebby alk ones. As to hats, they too, are quite martial. One may wear the wide-brimmed peaked, drawned service hat without any feminizing detail to disguise it. One may have a cocky little hat or ('cap, as you will) borrowed from the boys, with wings. One may wear the drooping cock feathers of the Italian officer or a velvet hat shaped like the cap of the French lieutenant. In fact, one may wear what one pleases, so long as the chosen headpiece is becoming. Trim they are, too, and very fetching, worn at the right angle, with the proper amount of coquetry, but woe to the unwitting damsel with the high pompadour who perches a Tipperary hat on the tip-top of her hair! The result is ridiculous. There are reports of other sources for styles than Paris. The Orient, with its bewildering array of things J.

One famous house here in New York has sent its buyers to China, Japan and India instead of Paris and we can look for some very interesting developments along fashion lines. Of course, now we have the mandarin coat, and other Chinese and Japanese garments occidentalized for our benefit. There soams to be a wave of color worship going broadcast over the land, and everywhere one hears the remark: "I don't care how simple it is, or how little triumbling you put on it, if you will just make it beautiful of lime and color."

Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who is the society's honorary president, spoke these words at the closing session of the fifth annual meeting of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. For the first time the society and the Negro State Teachers' Association of Virginia met at the same place and time, "because so many of the same individuals," to quote D. G. Jacox, "are interested in both organizations and each organization is in part trying to better the schools and conditions for the Negroes." Officers of the Negro Organization Society, elected for the coming year, include Robert H. Moton, honorary president; Allen W. Washington, president; John M. Gandy, executive secretary; W. T. B. Williams, treasurer; E. A. Long, recording secretary; George W. Blunt, corresponding secretary; T. C. Erwin and T. O. Walker, field agents, and the following vice presidents: L. L. Downing; Mrs. Ora B. Stokes, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, W. E. Robinson, Mrs. Ida N. Pney; R. E. Clay; R. C. Yancy; A. T. Shirley; G. E. Read; W. H. Salley; M. E. Davls, J. M. Jeffress; and W. M. Reld. The program included hopeful reports from school leagues, clubs for boys and girls, men and women; addresses by white friends; timely talks on "Negro Muscle" by Mrs. W. T. B Williams, "Education and Farming" by John B. Pierce, "World War and the Negro" by W. T. B. Williams, "Aims and Spirit of the Negro Organization Society" by Messrs J. M. Gandy, T. C. Erwin, and A. A. Graham, and "Getting to Be Fit" by Dr. James H. Dillard. The Committee on Resolutions recommended that the Society continue its efforts to unify the race along the lines of education, health, home-building, and agriculture; that special emphasis be placed on making farm life more attractive; that all the colored people of Virginia participate in the buying of Government bonds and stamps; that high schools be provided for colored youth; that the rigors of segregation and Jim-crow laws be reduced. JUVENILE COURT NEWS By Frank Callen, Probation Officer There is an open invitation to every citizen to visit the court. Your call does not have to be on business. You may call purely for observation, I am on hand to extend you, always, a cordial welcome. Why? Because if you go to a strange city or, if you entertain strangers at home, it is a mark of high intelligence to know thoroughly and relate the progressive civic movements affecting your own people in your own community. In an address last Sunday, I made the following statement: Of these of fences stealing, loitering, fighting gambling and running away from home; there is nothing traceable to the Negro race as its absolute possession by "divine right."

Because I want you to remember that since there is scarcely a biological difference, the "other conditions" mentioned above which will affect other people's children will also affect our own. If we would have our children possess the high aspirations of other children, we must endeavor to surround our children with these "other conditions" which will produce them. Finally, since the first seven years are the most impressive of a child's life, it brings to conspicuous attention the service rendered by our two free kindergarten's and the need for several more free ones supported by the commonwealth. Buy Red Cross Christmas Seals For Your Letters and Packages Few people realize the great danger they are in from constant exposure of tuberculosis or consumption as it is commonly called. In the United States one person dies every three minutes from it, and in Savannah one person in less than every two days. One death in every seven in the United States is caused by it. During five years there were 805 deaths in Savannah from this disease; 607 of these were colored, 198 white. There were many other deaths of people who were easily contracted and cucumbed to other diseases because of their weakened tubercular condition. The only organized work to treat or fight this disease is that done by the Margaret Bottome Circle of Kling's Daughters. The trained nurse, Miss Welsh, who is employed by them, visits both white and colored people, taking care of the sick providing them with proper nourishment, and instructing the sick and the well in right living and the way to prevent the spread of the disease. She can be reached at any time by telephoning 2477-J and leaving the message. About three-fourths of the disease in Savannah is among the colored people and they should arouse themselves to check the spread of the disease. Fresh air and plenty of it night and day, and good food are the chief things in its treatment. Those who have it should get instructions in how to prevent giving it to others. The expenses of the work are very heavy and the society is working hard to make the money. The money made from the sale of Red Cross Seals is used for this work. D. They are on sale at the Tribune Office, at the Post Office and at Mme Florence E. Williams, 540 Anderson street, east and at many stores in town and it is hoped that every body will buy at least one and use it on a Christmas package or letter. They cost only one cent and every one who buys one is helping to fight the disease in our own city. FOR RENT—1609-1615 Vine street, 4 room house, large yards, cheap rent. Apply C. A.

Ie immediately attached himself to the little group of colored people who lived in and about Boston, but who were utterly detached from the Hfe of thelr community. in matters of public concern these people receiv- .ed little or no recognition and for the most part were left to thelr own de vices. Such employment as no one cise cared for was opened to them at the scantlest wages. No provision was pmaie for thelr education, and not even missionary interest was taken. in their “welfare. The pittable neglect of ‘the spiritual welfare of the free col- ored people made so profound an ex- ‘pression upon Prince Hall, who was only about 17 years old, that he de termined to prepare himself to become a religious teacher and leader among his people. Applying himself to char- acteristic rssiduity, he soon ~acquired ‘an astounding grasp of the English ‘Bible. 8 five years he was ordained as a Methodist mintster. To be a Freemason in the latter part of the 18th century was accounted a rare distinction. The order was unl- versally patronized byfmen of high degree, 4 | The most powerful princes in Europe ‘considered tt no derogation to their dignity to “level themselves with the fraternity.” It was not surprising, ‘therefore, than any effort to obtain for the free blacks of Boston adinisston | ‘to an order of such standing should have seemed to the white craftsmen of Massachusetts to be the veriest pre sumption. One. can almost imagloe the popularity of the phrase “a white man’s order” as epltomizing the attl- tude of the outraged Colonial Macons towards the petition of Prince Hall and his brethren of color. Yet this little champion from the West Indles steadfastly refused to read Into sublime principles of Masonry any Implication of race proscription. With characteristic persistence he took his case to the broad minded British who admintstered the affairs of the Mfothor Grand Lodge. These same British, whose villlanies Jefferson immortalize in the “Declaration of Independence” showed themselves to bo freer from pettiness and race contempt than the Yberty loving colonists. - | After unsuccessful efforts to obtain recognition from any of the Americar Masonic bodies then existing in and about Boston, Prince Hall and his fourteen black brothers who had beeu duly madé in a British Army Lodge (stationed near Bunker Hill, and given 42 dispensation after the manner of "the day, petitioned the Mother Lodge ‘of England for a warrant. The petition was granted and, the warrunt issued September 20th, 1784. A few years following the reception of this warrant were enough to show this / African lodge as a subordinate body would sooner or later find itself In a precarious situation, and that the very (door of Masonry might be closed tu Lear Americans. The general move- ment to independent Masonic govern- ment for America was fast gaining ground, and always the colored Ma- ‘sons were ignored In any plans pro- J ected. Therefore, to perpetuite the high privileges which had come to his people with the Constitution of African Lodge No. 459, Prince Hall taking the {néedful steps, duly erected the Mother | Lodge in a grand lodge body, having the ‘sanetion and recognition of En- gland in so dolng. The Prince Hall [Grand Lodge of Boston was therefore four first Grand Lodge in America, and Pennsylvania has the honor of having ithe second, which was instituted ‘in ‘September 1815. Prince Hall was born in Bridgetown, |Burbadoes, W. I., In 1748, and he died in the year 1807, every jurisdiction of sour Masons in “the United States should send at least a wreath or some- ‘thing each year, when Massachusetts ‘honors our first Grand Master. His grave is marked by a monu- ‘ment as shown in the accompanying picture.

Saturday, December 15th, 1917 In line with the purpose of the Urban League to bring before the people of this section the principal musiclana, composers and musical compositions of the race, and to develop an appreciation for Negro Music and Negro musical artists, the following comment on "Community Singing" is very timely. "A brief but able editorial in the Philadelphia Public Ledger shows the real value of community singing. * * What is true of Philadelphia has been true of the work of the great community chorus, under the direction Hary Barnhart, in New York City. While the musical "high brows" may deride such efforts, anger at them, impugn their musical value," state, that even if they have a social value they really mean nothing, those, who go deeper into the great movement which characterize humanity realize that it is just in such a direction that not only is an appreciation to us enhanced, but a seed is sown that will bear wondrous fruit in the not far distant future. And if, as many believe, music has a great purpose in eliminating differences of creed, of nationality, and so can aid in doing away with the old race hatreds that have been the bane of human life for centuries, those community "sings" will accomplish a work far beyond the dream even of those who are today interested in promoting them. DEMOCRACY AT HOME A splendid example of, "democracy" as it is practiced here at home, came in the opening concert of the new Municipal Auditorium. The artist was the daughter of the president of the nation, the head of the army and navy of the United States, the pilot of one hundred millions of people engaged in a world war. How thrilling and how patriotic the occasion! what an opportunity to weld and unify the great masses of the people, white and black, into one spirit of patriotism and purpose! The place was the new Municipal Auditorium, "open" for the first time—a public property, belonging to the people, all the people, because purchased by them. The purpose of the concert was to arouse enthusiasm for the war and to raise funds for war-relief—a business we all are intensely interested in, or should be. It catered to the public for patronage and yet at first Negroes were refused tickets of admission and then the day of the concert ti was published ed that they would be consigned to the two last rows in the gallery and resisted to that—the poorest seats procurable in the house. All Negroes of all classes and conditions who desired to hear the daughter of the head of the nation must go there, accept these conditions—or stay out. Many who desired to hear her and who are giving many evidences that they are interested in war relief, stayed away—because their sense of self-respect and self reverence would not yield to another of the commoner manifestations of democracy, as we interpret it, at home. WAITING AN ART The decision of one of the most prominent of the city hotels to use white waitresses, instead of Negro waiters, during the coming season in that hotelry, does not indicate at all any passing of Negroes out of the em- A MOREHOUSE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA WHICH WILL APPEAR AT THE AUDITORIUM JANUARY 7TH ployment of table waiting or any lack of efficiency in that line of work. The local change bears no relation whatever to the general tendency in some northern centers to replace Negroes with whites in certain leading hotels. Far from being any plan to increase the efficiency of the service the use of white waitresses has never proved anything beyond economical, and often no more than an experiment. For high-class, finished, efficient hotel service, the Negro waiter is in a class by himself, in skill, in temperament and in artistic execution He has no peer in, this line. Experience, gained by those who for various reasons tried the change has shown that, in this generation at least, waiting is distinctively among the arts in which the Negro excels. There is nothing surprising about Negro excellence in this line; he has served in this capacity for many generations, whereas it is a new thing with whites of any class. White waitresses have been found to do fairly well in the smaller cafes and lunch counters. Serving the class of people who frequent the fashionable hotels and resorts is quite another thing. Girls have never succeeded in meeting the requirements and demands of the modern up-to-date hotel for its critical and exacting clientile—and will not. THE VERDIOT AT HOUSTON Ten millions of American citizens are dazed at the outcome of the Texas courtmartial. It came at so critical an hour, and was so tragic. Even admitting that the testimony in the principal cases was overwhelming as to the guilt of the accused, and conscious also that positive and rigorous punishment must be meted out to the offenders in order that the discipline in the army might be preserved, further that because we are in a state of war it is imperative that very harsh punishment must be imposed as a deterrent,—still, all things considered, thinking Negroes are appalled at the spectacle in Texas. An even larger number of Negro citizens are almost terrorized, in view of the extensive call to arms, the rumors of discrimination in the army and the consciousness of the extreme hardships and risks of army service which make up the mental attitude for viewing this new affair. We all know well that men may not murder and mutiny under cover of the military and government uniform and we know that the same penalties for crimes extend to attaches of the national service as to civilian offenders, and we recall the bloody riot at Houston, with all its harrowing details of disgrace and death. Complete details of the investigation by the courtmartial, the facts adduced and the findings resulting from that inquiry, will not bring anything new to the thinking Negroes—we know all that in advance of the publication. We do not seek to justify isolated and disconnected murder on the basis of extreme provocation at the outset. We know the law and the right. The law of be land is alright. if only the administration of it shall be pure and undefiled and impartial. The kaleidoscope of Waco, Caterville, Atlanta and East St. Louis flits through the mind to abstacle unbiased judgment and to complicate consideration of the divers problems that baffle us. We wish our people to remain loyal; we wish them to exhibit a warm enthusiasm; we wish them to conserve and to fight. But who can gain say that that fighting should be for some worthy purpose?—for some positive and definite end? Were not the soldier rioters at Houston fighting for a freedom (from insult and persecution) and for the institution of democracy (the kind which looses the bonds from men's bodies and souls) at home? Were they not driven senseless—to THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE the point of violating their oaths, overriding the law and even to disgracing themselves by continued abuse and insult and imposition, and assault and murder and tyranny and burning at the stake,—crimes which daily blacken and besmear the pages of American civilization and which the law, unsupported by public opinion, has shown itself powerless to check and avenge? Has not Texas seen the stage on which most of the bloody dramas of human carnage been enacted? Did not the very air smell of burning flesh from Waco's city square? Has the Negro race not suffered enough to cause him at times to forget honor and duty and even to prefer and covet death itself? As unsoldierly and as sordid as may have been their crime of mutiny and riot, it must be observed and remarked how very soldierly, how bravely and gamely the thirteen victims met their death. Their bearing and behavior in the hour of death can have but one interpretation; they had been goaded and misused to the point of unreason and abandon. The law has been avenged; the discipline of the army of the United States has been upheld; the great sacrifice has shown how tragic may be the consequences of the meanness and prejudice of Negro-hating, Ignorant white men, for with these the trouble began. Surely, "man's inhumanity to man, makes countless thousands mourn." It is refreshing to note that our stand on this affair is substantiated by an editorial from The New York World of Thursday, under the caption of "Thirteen Negro Soldiers Hanged," which states: The hanging of thirteen Negro soldiers who-participated in the Houston riot last August was the most drastic military punishment in the history of the United States. Forty-one others were sentenced to imprisonment for life and three to serve shorter terms. "It was a terrible crime that these men committed. It has been terribly punished, and justly and properly punished. No excuse could be made, no lenency shown to the men in the United States uniform who set out deliberately to commit indiscriminate murder. They were soldiers who had been trained to military discipline, and in defiance of officers they organized a mob under their own leaders for a general massacre of any and all persons who crossed their path, "At the same time, the Houston riot and the events growing out of it should be a warning to Southern officials. At the start the Houston police were to blame. By their attitude toward Negro soldiers they created a feeling of bitter resentment that was finally responsible for the bloody outbreak that followed. The Negro soldiers who planned to do wholesale murder at Houston have been hanged or sent to prison for life, as justice requires, but nothing in the sentences imposed upon them can excuse the mistreatment of United States soldiers because their skins are black." THE TEACHERS' PAY There ought always be the most liberal appropriations for the education of the children of the state, not only in equipment and facilities for teaching, but there should be provided the most competent teachers available with good pay. Teachers' salaries have not kept apace with living conditions. Few teachers, especially women teachers get more than a living wage, and, if the majority of cases they are conspicuously underpaid. The compensation figures given out in the discussion and petition before the Board of Education last Monday show that the white teachers are too poorly paid for these times, and Negro teachers have always gotten relatively less than the whites, though there is no good reason why this should be the case. Colored teachers work rather harder than white and usually under much less favorable conditions, by way of less comfortable buildings and inferior equipment and over-crowding, and these added and unnecessary burden in the colored teacher's routine should be taken seriously into consideration. We believe the Board of Education will look after the interest of the colored teachers in this agitation for better pay, because they recognize the conditions surrounding their service in the schools. Dr. Wilson of the Board who is espousing the movement for increased pay, has not failed to look carefully into the needs of the teachers in the system and we believe he will deal justly and equally in his recommendations for all the teachers, white and colored. A great many of the teachers, under influence of their principals and the superintendent, are going away each summer to teachers' training schools, to better fit themselves for modern progressive teaching, in accordance with latest ideas and methods in education. It cannot be expected that they will be able often to afford to get away to summer school work on the meager salaries they get—hence there will not be maintained the high state of efficiency that there should be. We feel that consideration should be given to those who have been going already and that provision may be made whereby a greater number may attend. It is gratifying that there is an awakening on the part of school boards and systems to take better care of their teachers and to keep their custems always up to the highest grade of efficiency. The results to be had from better paid teachers and improved equipment and facilities, are inexplicable in intelligent and progressive citizenship. HOUSTON AND FAST ST. LOUIS The Investigation at East St. Louis has disclosed that soldiers and police officers, participated in the stabbing and burning of Norroes. There has been specific testimony describing particular individuals as having committed particular acts of crime—the testimony coming from white men. These cynicits, too, were the uniform of the army of the United States or the city government (in the case of police officers). What will be their fate? Will they be whitewashed or will there be meted out to them the fate of the mutineers at Houston? Their cases are so similar as to be almost identical. We shall here see whether we have a double standard of justice. FEMAIR HELP WANTED—Steady work. We teach you to make men's shirts, liberal salaries paid while learning.

NAT. RACE CONGRESS ISSUES ADDRESS Officers Elected for the Enouing Year Dr. Jernagin Heads Movement Washington, D. C—Under the lead- ership of Dr. Jernagin, the new head of the National Race Congress, there’ has been an amulgamation of forces. As is state bere by both meetings there was » veritable consolidation so it was expected that the two organizations would touch more people and render greater service. In the election of the otficers to serve for the ensuing year ix noted the following: President. Rev. W. H. Jernayln, Washington, D. ©: vice president, Bishop I. N. Ross, of A. ML 1. church Washington, . C.: recording secre tary, Rey. Wm. Alesander, Baltimore, Ma.; corresponding aud financial sec- _retary, Rev. A A. Gribam Hampton, Va.; treasurer, Rey. W. A. Taylor, Washington D. C.; nations) chap,lain, Rer. E. A. P. Greek, Newark, N. J. national orgunizer. Lawyer Qobt. L Vann, Pittsburg, Pa.; eergeant-at-arms, Tey, 3. J. Nickerson, Hinton, W. Va.; uational lecturer, Rev. I. G. Jordan, Philadelphia, Pa. Ono of the last but perhaps regarded as the most imperative work of the recent meeting was the issuance of their address to the country a follows: “At, this, the second annual session of our Congress, we, your committee, beg leave to submit the following re- port on the present state of the coun: try: 1, Together with the whole nation, our group Is sharing its quota of the borfen of the greatest war known to fhe world, and -in proportion to the contribution we make to secure to the worlll the much sought peace, we shall share tho benefits of the “New De ‘mocracy” recently declared to be the ultimate object of the war, 2. Ont of the world war have grown economic conditions and problems that affect vs directly and Indirectly. At 5 THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY DEC. 15, 1917 ing forced by the necessity of circum-| stance to transplant, in unusually large numbers, our accustomed place of abode in the southland to new and un-| tried localities in the northland. We are migrating in numbers heretofore unknown. 8. Our migration has ziven rise to labor problems, political problems and social problems calcuated to affect every phase of our national Mfe. In ‘the North, we are face to face with opposition in the labor world, and no Uttle criticism Is being expressed in An apparent effort to distur the -No- ‘ero in his new field of labor. We are ‘the victims of one of three agencies. ‘Either the labor unions of the North ‘are oppored to Negro labor in the va- ‘rlous Industries of the North; or therq ds at work a secret agency from the South, seeking to so disturb labor con- ditlons by labor riots as to frighten the Negro back to the southern soil-and southern employment; or the Negro ij encountering extremo difficulty in ad- justine himself to new employment and the attendant hich wage. | 4. We note the general necessity for 5 constant course of instruction to our People svho have been affected by this new change of habitation and occupa- tion. We recommend that the press, the pulpit and the platform be dedicat- jed, ait least in part, to a continued course of instruction to the thousands jwho have come North to live under entirely new conditions and new laws that obedience of the law be taught Jat every opportunity, efficiency and re- ‘lability be held before them as cx- sential; that thrift and cconomy be urged generally. 5. We call attention to the pecullar situation arising out of the draft of our men for the National Army, There is danger of unwise comment upon the ‘method of procedure adopted by the administration relative to the encamp- ment, training and wltimate emplos- ment of Negro soldiers, We urge the exercise of caution in our remarks, and the cultivation of loyalty to the country forever, and especially at this time when it fs evident that deceptive agencies are at work secking to arouse us to disloyalty and general disruption. (. Nor must the abnormal condi- tion of the markets of the world be overlooked. Money Is plentiful, but prices are nbnormal, ‘and there is dan ger of a period of extravagance, due 8 the unusual flow of money, and a corresponding danger of a disturbance ‘of éredit due to a lack of appreciation lof the extremely bigh cost of living. 7. Our ednentional institutions gen- erally, and the public Schools enjfecial- ly in the south, aré suffering because of the unpreceedented demand of the word war. We exhort the nation to a xirilant practice of economy and good ‘judgment In order, that our educational eystem may notihe rendered less efi clent. Especial’ do we urge a strict watcheare over those sections of the South where oppropriations for pub- lic school education are made without @ne and equal consideration of the Ne gto children. 3 . 8. ‘Toe extraprdinary burden of our national taxis! a cubject for serious consideration. To meet the increasing demands of our government for money With which to proscente a successfa |conclusion the world war, and ut th samt time be able to operate our us fal amounts of ednncation, the xpreac of Christianity and the maintenance o: Jour homes in keeping with the Ameri jean standard, will tax us for all wi ‘Lnare of economy, fortitude and ric ‘Hoyalty. o ‘| 9.

We regret to Agep before you the rat that our republic is still cursed with the presence of a spirit of Iyneh law und rioting’ of a virulent type. We recommend a renewed effort toward a successtal abolition of this curse, and we urge that the subject be kept before our National Congress for leg: islation calculated to put down for- ever the lynchers and mob leaders now operating with apparent sanction in the various sections of our republic. 11. The ghetto is another menace secure to our group a fair, strict and impartial necommodation for travel in the southern states be provided at once; and that the Supreme Conrt be Hinvohed by proper appeals and pro ceedings to enforrg the laws of the sev. eral states ns well as the amendments to the Federal constitution guarantee ing to the Negro bis rights as an Amer- fcan citizen, We are being unfairly ‘dealt with by the raflroads end trans- portation compantes of the South, and we urge immediate action looking to fa reliet of conditions. _ 11. The ghetto is another menance to our rights to property, Iberty and the pursuit of happiness, Steps must be taken to prevent summary seggre- gation and the imposing upon us of unlawful avd unconstitutional laws and ordinances tn the various citios of the south. 12. The question of better housing conditions, the country over, demands immediate attention. We recommend jthat the various civic bodies of the Jsoveral eltics be approached, and their co-operation socured in making lving Conditions sanitary and tolerable as much for the Negro as for any other vitizen. | For the ultimate accomplishment of all of which, we commend our people of whatever creed or“bellef, the world over, to a stricter and more faithful servico of Him who alone can give to the world the New Democracy so de- youtly desired, and tho fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, the sole prerequisite to Democracy and peace. { Respectfully submitted, |} ° Com. on Address to Country: G.

Tuskegee, Ala., Dec. 8.—The bakery at the Tuskegee Institute has been successfully experimenting with sweet-potatoes as a partial substitute in making bread. This bread is composed of approximately two parts white flour and one part bolled, mashed sweet potatoes. The result of the use of this combination has been a saving of about 200 pounds of flour each day and there is no very apparent difference between this bread and the bread which is made wholly of wheat floor. The potato bread will be used exclusively at the Institute as a part of Tuskegee's program of war economy. A booklet describing somewhat in detail this experiment with sweet potatoes has been prepared by the Institute JUBILEE SONGS FOR SOLDIERS Army with Plantation Melodies Columbus, O.—Patriotism reached its zenith here in a meeting held at the Second Baptist church when the women of the Benevolent Mission Society, an organization belonging to the church decided that the Negro boys in the U. S. Army should have placed at their disposal a copy of the National Jubilee Melodies. "We want the boys to sing the songs of our foreparents, which is the only real American music. We want, while they are fighting a righteous cause in foreign lands, that they shall sing Jubilee melodies, thinking of their God in their own country," declared the president of this organization after a patriotic speech delivered by Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, through whose great effort Jubilee melodies were set to music and put at the disposal of the American public. Dr. Boyd had just declared in an address that the Negro should make the same enviable record in this war for Democracy that he has made in every war of the world's history. The Benevolent Society of this church placed the first order for a large number of these books to be bound in khaki with the United States flag printed upon the back of each one. "Our church will back up this movement," declared Rev. Elbert W. Moore, D. D., the pastor of the church. They have sent their order forward to the Publishing Board at Nashville, and the books will be made up at once and placed in the hands of the soldiers. CHRISTMASS TREE AT INDUSTRIAL FARM At the meeting of the Sunshine and Willing Workers of the Urban League Monday evening plans were made for the Christmas tree to be given the boys by the committee.

The committee is working hard to make the 26th a memorable day for the boys, and ask their friends to assist them. We are asking for story books suitable for boys, stockings, gloves, handkerchiefs combs, fruit and candy. Kindly send all packages to Mrs. Lulu Allen 612 West Bolton street. The next meeting will be held at the chairman's home, Monday December 17th at 6 p.m. Mrs. Rachel Moore, president; Mrs. Lulu Allen, chairman.
