The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII Gen. Ballou Has Manager Convicted Gen. Ballou Has Manager Convicted FOR DISCRIMINATING AGAINST NEGRO SOLDIER General Says Bulletin Was One of Advice—Not for Segregation Camp Funston, Kans, May 15—It transpires that while Major-General C. O. Ballou, of the 92nd Division, was addressing the men under him through Bulletin No. 35, he was at the same time pressing the prosecution of the theatre manager who had discriminated against a sergeant of the Division. The prosecution of the manager of the Warcham Theatre for discrimination on account of color, instigated at Gen. Billou's request, was, after being twice continued, tried in Police Court at Manhattan, Kans, a few days ago, and resulted in the conviction of the defendant and the imposition of a fine of $10.00 and cost. It is generally assumed that the conviction of the theatrical manager will serve to prevent a repetition of the offense, and will deter other theater owners and managers from making discrimination on account of color. General Ballou followed the same course here as he did at the Officers' Training School at DesMoines, Ia., last summer, namely; while admonishing his men to refrain from precipitating racial disturbance, to prosecute those who should discriminate against his men. Gen. Ballou Writes Scott The following letter, addressed to Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, although dated April 22, 1918, has just been made public, since the prosecution and conviction of the offending theatre manager. A letter, similar in character has also been written to the editor of The Crisis, New York. The letter to Mr. Scott follows: Mr. Emmett J. Scott, War Department, Washington, D. C. "Dear Mr. Scott: "I have your request that I make a brief statement relative to the Bulletin No. 35, these heardquarters. There seems to be no good reason why I should not do so. "Here are the preliminary facts: 'A soldier of this division got into trouble with a theatre manager at Manhattan and reported it to me. I at once ordered an investigation, placed the facts before the Division Judge Advocate and was informed that the theatre manager had violated the law. I then put the case in the hands of the United States Attorney and requested the prosecution of the theatre manager. The case was set for April 22d. I then issued bulletin No. 35, which, in brief, is counsel to my soldiers to avoid race troubles. This bulletin was given out to the colored press of the country, accompanied by an entirely misleading letter that not only suppressed all mention of any prosecution of the theatre manager, but directly and falsely conveyed the impression to editors and readers that I had not done so. The most prejudiced person will. I think, at once see that this was a malicious attempt to stir up race feeling by misrepresentation. The character of Bulletin No. 35 was of advice, as already stated. This advice was ordered-published to the Division. It had nothing to do with any policy of segregation, or with any policy outside of the military establishments. Its purpose was to prevent race friction, with the attendant prejudice to good order and military discipline. Good order and military discipline are the foundation stones of the military service. They are indispensable. Nothing connected with the colored troops has ever been so threatening to good order and discipline as race troubles have been, and it is well-known that our enemies have sought to profit by these facts ever since there was a prospect of war. No stone has been left unturned. There have always been foes of our country ready to aggravate the grievances of the colored people on the one hand and to stir up the whites on the other. It was no mere coincident that the East St. Louis atrocities occurred in a city filled largely with German sympathisers. "There is little doubt that the same influence urged both whites and blacks at Houston. Most troubles have small beginnings. At Houston they grew (Continued on page Eight) 300 COLORED MEN RECEIVE TECHNICAL TRAINING Representatives Inducted into Service With Impressive Ceremonies Washington, D. C., May 20—Amid impressive ceremonies 300 representative young registrants were inducted last Wednesday into the national army as students of technical branches at Howard University. They embraced the quota of the District of Columbia and among them were a number of lawyers, doctors and teachers. Prior to the induction ceremonies a procession passed through the main thorofares, in which were the 300 student-soldiers, members of the District and local draft boards, acting Adjutant-General D. J. Donavan, the Red Cross Auxillaries of the colored high schools, of Howard University and a large contingent of citizens on foot and in automobiles. The parade was reviewed by Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder, who pronounced the aggregation a highly creditable one. By permission of the Board of Education the children of the public schools were dismissed from their classes and allowed to witness the spectacle. Many of the young people were in costumes characteristic of the war and most all of them, and their elders as well, carried flags—the stars and stripes and the banners of the allies intermingling beautifully. The procession was headed by the Elks Band the full corps of the High School Cadets and a detachment of guards from the War Department acted as escorts. The drafteres wore citizen's clothing with a band of white on the left arm. They will be uniformed within about two weeks. There was much enthusiasm all along the line of march. The immense crowd, arrived at Howard University about noon, having started at the Dunbair High school at First and O streets. The principal address at Howard University was delivered by Dr. S. M. Newman, president of that institution. The speaker called attention to the fact that the 300 men now entering upon a new work represented the best element of young manhood. Not one of the number, he declared, could have been included in the list unless he possessed at least the qualifications of having graduated from a grammar school, while many of the men had also graduated from high schools and colleges. In addition, he said, they must have passed the rigid physical examination necessary for admission to the service; so that each of the noble 300 possessed the double qualification of a trained mind in a perfect body. There is an honor in being chosen as one of such a number and the entire race should appreciate the distinction at its full valuation. Other addresses were delivered by Acting Adjutant General Donovan and Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, of the Board of Education, and the military authorities took charge of the men. Prof. George W. Cook acted as master of ceremonies. Francis Wells, of the Commissioner's Office, headed by the committee on arrangements. The men will remain on the campus and will not be permitted to leave except by special order. Their food and lodging will be provided for on the grounds and they will receive the pay of privates in the national army. All of the 300 volunteered and the remainder were drafted through their questionaires previously submitted and by registration cards. The course will cover the summer months and will include radio engineering or wireless telegraphy, wood working, electricity, constructing, repairing and operating automobiles, engineering in general and technical branches. When the course of training is completed they are to be assigned to special duty, either with colored units in this country or with the American forces in France. This training school at Howard University is one of a number of similar schools to be opened in various sections of the country for the better equipment of colored men in the technical branches. Provision for their establishment was made through the recommendation of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War. About 4,000 will be enrolled in the next few months. If present plans are carried out. Mr. and Mrs. Riley Cloudin announce the engagement of their grand daughter, Selika Ida James to Mr. Wright Feleans of Augusta, the marriage to take place next month. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MAY 25TH, 1918 Professor Kelly Miller Of Howard University Lectures at F.A.B. Church Wednesday Night THE BROOKLYN PRESS LYNCHING A NEGRO WOMAN FOR "UNWISE" REMARKS Editor Chronicle: A new capital offense in Georgia and one so heinous that it cannot wait on the regular and orderly process of law, but must be punished by those notable protectors of society—lynchers! The designation of this crime, calling for such swift punishment, is "Unwise Remarks." This important evolution of our criminal code and its righteous treatment are thus spoken of in the following Associated Press Dispatch: Negro Woman Hanged and body Riddled with Bullets Because She Made "Unwise" Remarks About Lynching of Husband. Valdosta, Ga., May 19—Mary Turner, wife of Hayes Turner, was hanged this afternoon at Folsome's bridge, over Little river, about sixteen miles north of Valdosta...Hayes Turner was hanged at Okapilco river, in Brooks county, last night...His wife, it is claimed, made unwise remarks today about the execution of her husband, and the people, in their indignant mood, took exceptions to her remarks, as well as her attitude, and without waiting for nightfall, took her to the river, where she was hanged and her body riddled with bullets. Of all the horrible occurrences that have disgraced the state of Georgia this is the most horrible: Look at this picture: A poor, object Negro woman is informed of the lynching of her husband—let it be granted, himself a murderer. She cannot keep silence She cannot express her agony in terms of Christian forgiveness. She cannot even use the high-sounding phrases of the fine. old pagan philosophers. She blurts out an "unwise remark"...Awav with her to the nearest limb! Break her neck and manifest the calm, righteous, and judicial judgment of her executioners by "riddling her body with bullets." Were these human beings or fiends hot from hell? Was she a human being? If not, let us stop calling on her race for men to fight, as we are sure they will well do, for our country and for us...Where are the grand iuries? Where are the petit juries?...Where are the sheriffs? Where is public opinion? Is it dead? Or is it crowded out by a handful of the most detestable murderers and cowards?...God in heaven have mercy on us! Let the governor—if he will do no more—proclaim a day of deenest humiliation and most earnest praver, in which we may plead humbly and agonizingly with the All-Father, who, dreadful thought has said: "Vengeance is mine," not to visit his righteous venence on us in the slaughter on the sea and across the sea of our dear boys, who, with Negro comrades in arms, have gone to fight for the betterment of the world. The coming to Savannah of Prof. Kelly Miller, A. M., LL.

NUMBER 38 Two Negroes In Heroic Fight HOLDING OFF RAIDING GERMANS AFTER RECEIVING WOUNDS General Pershing's Communique Recounts Their Bravery Washington, D. C., May 20th—Gen. Pershing's communique today brought its best story, so far, of the valor and sacrifice of American blood on the battlefields in France. It also gave elequent testimony of the spirit of democracy which knows no race or color. It told, also, of the heroe fight of two American Negro soldiers, both wounded, who withstood a raiding party of twenty Germans and saved their comrades from surprise and capture. The communique follows: "Section B—Reports in hand show a notable instance of bravery and devotion shown by two Negro soldiers of an American colored regiment operating in a French sector. Before daylight, May 15th, Private Henry Johnson and Private Roberts, while on scent duty at some distance from one another, were attacked by German raiding parties, estimated at twenty men, who advanced in two groups, attacking at once from flank and rear. "Both men fought bravely in hand-to-hand encounters, one resorting to the holo knife after his rifle jammed and further fighting with bayonet and butt became impossible. There is evidence that at least one, and probably a second German, was severely cut. A third is known to have been shot. "Attention is drawn to the fact that the two colored sentries were first attacked and continued fighting after receiving wounds, and despite the use of grenades by a superior force. They should be given credit for preventing by their bravery, the capture of any of our men. Three of our men were wounded, two by grenades. All are recovering and the wounds in two cases are slight."

Newport News—What is perhaps the only case of its kind on record in the history of Newport News is the arrival of a large steamship here, in command of a colored captain—Custodia Rocha, by name, of Portuguese ancestry. The ship which is now plying between this port and England in carrying munitions and food to the Allies, is named "Damao." Captain Rocha has many friends among the colored residents of the city, and, was made acquainted with Col. Matt. N. Lewis, who is customs inspector at this port, while in the city Sunday. Capt. Rocha has an entire white crew under his command, from the wireless operator down—The Star. - PAGE TWO = Sg neem SPRING COLORS .

A "worthy Mason" only deserves the title when he acts on the square outside the lodge as well as inside it. It is quite apparent that the tendency of the age to combine and shirk personal responsibility has taken a strong hold on Masonry in the United States. This tendency is taking a very strong hold in more ways than one. The dispensation of charity is one of the most prominent of these combinations, and probably the least reprehensible on account of its effectiveness. Another, and undoubtedly one of the most pernicious, is the is the employment by lodges of teachers of the lectures to candidates for advancement, thereby relieving members of their duty to impart Masonic information to inquiring brothers, and commercializing Masonic work in a manner, in our opinion, that will result in a permanent injury to Masonry. The arguments against this practice are too many and too apparent to a close student of Masonry to need repetition here. It is also hoped that this question will receive the careful consideration at the hands of the well-wishers of our order that its importance demands—N. O. Square and Compasses. England has 2,908 active lodges; Ireland, 370, and Scotland, 750. The combined membership is stated to be over 220,000. * * * Masonry Progressive Of all the institutions in the world, Masonry contains perhaps fewest elements of retrogression. Its fundamental principles are based upon right actions between men, rendering to every man his just due. It judges with candor, reprehends with justice, and commends all proper and just actions with freedom. It admonishes all to be controlled by its just and righteous dogmas. Masonry contains nothing of an autocratic spirit, but deals with all men with equal regard and with respect for honest opinions, even if they are not in accordance with the teachings of fraternity. There is nothing in Masonry that is not in accord with "pure and undefiled religion." Its doctrines are pure and upright, and admit of no deviation from a proper course of life. Masonry teaches quality, and a proper respect for the opinions of other men, but it is jealous of its own conception of right and wrong action. It is well known as opposed to all hypocrisy and all false doctrines of right, and teaches all its votaries to be honest in all things, just to all men, and to practice pure morality in all the walks of life. As every Mason who has given consideration to its teachings knows full well, every true Mason is a good man, and of necessity must be upright in all his actions—Selected. ★ ★ ★ The cornerstone of Bethel Baptist church was laid May 19, by Grand Master Butler. About twelve neighboring lodges assisted in the ceremonies. --- The thanksgiving program as carried out by Mystic Beauty Chapter was interesting, and enjoyed by the large number of persons who attended.

CANNING SNAP BEANS IN GLASS Miss Juanita Conyers, Home Demonstration Agent Sterilizing Jars—Wash the jaws and place them, side down, in a vessel and cover with cold water, bringing this water to a slow boiling point and allow to boil for 15 minutes to sterilize jars. Sorting and grading—While the jars are being sterilized sort and grade the beans according to size and maturity. Following this the beans should be washed thoroughly. Blanching—Blanching consists of pruning the beans in boiling water for a short time. Use a wire basket or cheese cloth square for this. The beans should be blanched from 3 to 8 minutes or until the pool will bend without breaking, and plunge into cold water for an instant. Drain well, pack quickly into sterilized jars, cover, with boiling water adding one teaspoon, of salt to each quart; place in canner or boiler and exhaust with tops screwed loosely one clamp up for 15 minutes. After this boiling seal the jars completely and process. When the beans are young and tender process 2 hours continuously at a boiling temperature. ENLISTED IN NAVY The Savannah Tribune: Dear Sir.

KEEPING ABREAST OF THE TIMES Fort Valley School Closes a Most Successful Year Fort Valley, Ga.—The applause at the close of the splendid commencement address by Rev. L. H. King, D. D., had scarcely died away before Principal Hunt announced the coming of the Home-Makers Club Agents from all sections of the state for a few days of conference and instruction. This group of earnest women, working under the direction of the Smith-Lever Fund, will devote the summer months to the work of improving the home life of our people throughout the state. As soon as these workers have gone, the Summer school teachers will begin to put in their appearance for four weeks of intensive training under a corps of unusually well equipped and experienced instructors. The Fort Valley High and Industrial school is the pioneer in summer school work for our people in Georgia and the authorities are planning, if possible, to crowd more into this phase of the work this year than ever before. Among the outstanding features of the closing exercises were the concert by the Training School, the soul stirring commencement sermon by Dr. Wm. F. Shade, chaplain of Atlanta University, an unusually high class operetta by the students of the High School and Normal Departments, the graduating exercises and the brilliant annual address by Rev. L. H. King, D. D., pastor Central Avenue M. E. church, Atlanta, Ga. Significant of the spirit of the institution was the gift to the school of an iron flag pole and a nine hunting flag by the senior class, the action of the junior class in giving a wartime reception to the senior class and presenting that class with $15.00 worth of War Savings Stamps which the senior class in turn gave to the school as a part of its endowment fund. The Alumni Association gave $15.00 for placing an electric light between the girls' dormitory and the new laundry building and presented the school with $40.00 wroth of War Savings Stamps for the endowment fund also. It is needless to say that the authorities of the institution are deeply grateful to both students and Alumni for this very practical expression of their interest in the school's welfare. IS THERE ANY GAIN? Can the question be properly answered until the end of our journey is reached? At the end of each year we can see whether we have taken a step forward or backward. It was last Sunday at the little Sundayschool on Joachim street in Yamacraw that the teachers and children felt they had at least taken a step forward in the last seven months when James Lolle and Henry Cohen were each present with a Bible for regular attendance. These boys have been faithful since the first of October and were interested in their lessons. Not only did it seem a pleasure to the recipients but to the others that were present which numbered twenty-six. The day is coming and has about come when the children will be the most important beings. For the children of today are the men and women of tomorrow. Let us train them spiritually, intellectually and morally for the good of mankind and the salvation of their souls. It is a question to be answered whether our faithful probation officer, Mr. Frank Callen, will be returned to the neglected boys and girls of Sayannah or must they return to the place they were before he started his good work with them. For without a doubt much good was accomplished by him in his short time. If he isn't to come back until "it is over over there" then let some other lover of children take up the much needed work.

The pastime of man-hunting is on— the crowds of hideous, shriekinz, skulk- ing vultures in-hnman-form scour the woods and fastnesees for other human prey, crazed ani fleeing in fear. The crime of sufferance and toler- ance, which may he laid at the door of these white men of the South, .who, seeiag and knowing do not lift thetr hands and voices nor bring to bear the force necessary to Mot ont this incu- bus of Ameriean civilization, is craser than the black sins af Isnchers and mobs, because, whereas those wretch. es whd make moh: are morally and mentally outside the pale of heman Kith and Kind, those ether ““oigh Possessed with all the powers of earth te defeat the horible tragedies, con- sent and condone hy their audience aml their inaction. Then. fuel is fed to the flames hy a species of newspaper publicity which quibbles on the matter of provocation and rambles in forecasts, antictpations and expectations which to the mob spirit amounts to sugeestion, direction and approbation. The man-hunting continues. The wtid-eyed, frenzied rustics from the back-woods, come together like sum- mer clouds to the county-seat, the point of assembly and base of operation; they send to the chaingang posts for the dogs; telephone lines lend them- selves to rapid circulation of wild, incendiary rumors; telegraph wires are commandeered; automobiles sputter and rattle in headlong flight over the country roads; senfrfes are stationed at bridges, at the head af groups, in the ‘gateways of principal roads and at the transportation exits,their bodies fred with Uquor, Grete souls burning with hate, thelr hands already st, crimped to grasp tha hapless black victim, to tear, to sunder, to mutilate, te bern.

It calls to mind the bray- ery and valor of Bunker Hill, San Juan and Carrizal and makes the blood of black Americans, and white, tingle with a thrill of enthusiasm and pa- triotism. We have felt all along hai the bis- tory of Negro soldlery, the consistent courage and bravery of black men, would repeat itself as soon as occas- ion offered, and we are not surpriscd, if it does stir our admiration, our pa- triotism and our pride. These men; fighting under leaders of broad calture and training and sense of fairness, and facing the com- mon dangers of shell fire and death along with their white brethren, will Bo doubt be cited for their bravery and decorated -with the honors that come uusought to the good soldier. ‘There will be many another instance of valorous deeds registered to the ‘credit and honor of the Negro soldier as the lighting grows fiercer.and as greater numbers of Americans of all classes shall be engaged. . Therdistinct and peculiar psychology of the Negro soldier, which has marked thim as one of the world's most fear- less warriors, and under stress of dis- astrous and deadly fire, a fighter of rarest judgment, of most calculating performance and of almost uncanny ‘morale, is still his bulwark and asset. | Fire will not affright; disease and Boa and death will not deter him. All these quicken and fire his splrit. Afore’s the pity that these brave men of the front must have in thelr minds the memories of conditions in America, ‘and must hear the disheartening and [depressing news of tragedies and crimes perpetrated against the race at home, by those they fight to save. , Negroes abroad and at home will not quit We are going to stay In the fight. We are going to merit and win our ‘just recompense and recognition be- fore the world and leave the decision to the fatr judges of the days of peace that are to come. , There are no quitters; there are no seditfonists; there are no obstruction- ists. We have the same matchless loy- alty of Chrispus Attucks, Nathan Hale, Patrick Henry, Sergeant Carney, Abra- ham Lincoln and those other Ameri- can immortals, to whom life, was a trifle when sfaked against honor and principle and love of country and fel- Jowman. Death has but little sting and we are all ready to suffer it in de- fense of home and liberty and opper- tuntty.

NegroWomanLynched for "Remarks" WAS ONE OF SIX NEGROES KILL ED FOR MURDER O FEAR MER AND WIFE --- 'snosred XIS—GI AUK 'nd 'soung all Negroes b. beeen hanged by mobs in this section as a result of the assassination of Hampton Smith, a prominent Brooks county farmer, and the wounding and alleged maltreating of Mrs. Smith Thursday night. The latest victim of the mob's rage was Mrs. Mary Turner, wife of Hays Turner, 20 years old, who was hanged this afternoon near here. Hays Turner was arrested yesterday and was held in the Quitman jail for connection with the killing of Smith. Sheriff Wade of Brooks county was informed that a mob was forming to lynch Turner. The sheriff, while endeavoring to get Turner to the Moultrie jail, was stopped by a body of men and Turner was taken from him. Turner was lynched. While talking of the lynching of her husband today Mrs. Mary Turner is said to have enraged the community and a mob took possession of her, hanged her to a tree and riddled her body with bullets. Will Head, one of the men lynched Friday night, is said to have made a confession in witch it is alleged he claimed that the assassination of Smith was planned last Monday night at the home of Hays Turner. Upon this information Turner was taken into custody and jailed at Quiltman. Meanwhile great bodies of citizens have been scouring the country for Sidney Johnson, alleged leader in the plot to murder and rob Hampton Smith. Those who have been lynched up to this time are Will Head, Will Thompson, a man named Julian, Hays Turner and Mrs. Mary Turner. Thursday night two of the Negroes employed by Hampton Smith as farm hands slipped into Smith's home and stole his Wincoster rifle while Smith was at supper. When Smith and his wife went into their room for the night a shot through the window killed him. Mrs. Smith rushed out and tried to escape, but was shot. The Negroes then rifled the house. When they came out Mrs. Smith had fled. Later she reached a Negro cabin in the community and told her story. While she is seriously wounded she will probably recover. The last victim of the mob was Sidney Johnson who was apprehended in Valdosta Wednesday and shot to death in a fight with the chief of police and his deputies.

Tierney made the address of presentation on behalf of the Board of Managers of the Friends' Freedmen's Association of Philadelphia; the address of acceptance was made on behalf of the Hospital Board by R. I. Roop. Principal E. A. Long's statement follows: "The hospital building and equipment are the result of the initiative of the local white people who contributed about one-third of its cost, which is $8,000. When they raised their part of the fund, three of the four white churches in town suspended services on one Sunday morning and a union service was held at the other in the interest of the project. The remainder of the money was given by a Quaker lady of Philadelphia whose name is withheld on request. "The maintenance of the hospital will be by local support, furnished largely by white people of the community. The hospital is under the direction of a board elected by the contributors. On this board are nine nine white and one-colored. The principal of the Christiansburg Institute is a member of the board. "It is proposed that there shall be a white nurse who will take charge of the hospital and who will make her headquarters there. She will give one part of her time to visiting in the country and a part to superintendence. The resident nurse will be a colored woman who will direct the training of the girls and will be assisted by local physicians." Baltimore, Md., May 17—A gang of Negro riveters at Sparrow Point, Md., in the Bethlehem Steel Corporation broke the world's record for driving rivets. One of the gang, Charles Knight, drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in a nine hour day. The previous highest record was 4,442 made by a workman in a Scottish shipyard. This is the way the Negro is demonstrating his patriotism at home while his brothers in black in the army are showing it in France. Mr. Knight is a highly respectable and industrious citizen of Baltimore, a native of Virginia. Telegrams announcing the new record were sent to Mr. Chas, M. Schwab, director-general for the Fleet Corporation and other officials connected with shipbuilding. If a bridge of ships will enable our soldiers to go over, to be fed and our allies to have supplies, the Negro will have a large share in building those ships. Mr. Knight is our one of a thousands of Negro shipworkers. At Newport News Yards alone there are about 8,000 employed. Commenting on this performance of work the Washington Times of May 18 said: Not many months ago German propagandists were spreading the story that the colored people of the South, even as far north as this city, were preparing to revolt against the government and do what they could to linder the work of the war Day before yesterday there was a revolution, but it was not the kind the Germans planned. Charles Knight, colored, and seven colored helpers turned upside down every record that had ever been made for driving rivets into the hulls of ships. That is the kind of revolution the colored men of this country are carrying on. That is the kind of revolution they may be depended on to carry on to the end of the war. Forcman Knight set an excellent example of efficiency to every citizen of the country, whether he be black or white. Not. and cold, and shower deaths. Also in Seals New York Herald.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday was an ideal day and the church going people took advantage of the same by attending in large numbers. At 11 o'clock pastor Wrenn selected the 13th verse of Isaiah for a text: "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you and ye shall be comforted." It was a splendid sermon. At the close of the services the pastor made a strong appeal to the members urging them to support the one hundred women from now until July 1st in a financial effort known as the home run. There was a remarkable improvement in the mid-week services. On Thursday night Mr. Jno. Adams, Jr., preached a trinil sermon with a view of obtaining license to preach the gospel. He is the son of the church and a graduate of Morehouse College and acquitted himself in a manner that is a credit to him- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE self and the church.

BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTER No 14 Tuskegee Inst. Ala-The Virginia State Negro Business League of which Mr. W. II. Crocker is the president, has made a very forward looking and important step in the publication of a Quarterly Bulletin. Sometime ago Mr. Geo. W. Blunt of Portsmouth, who is a member of the Publication Committee, wrote me concerning the Bulletin and indicated the following as some of the purposes of the League in establishing this form of publicity: 1. The aim of the Bulletin is to stimulate the growth of the League and to phopogate the principles of Negro business development. 2. A magazine pertaining to Negro enterprises and published especially for Negro business men 3. It gives an excellent opportunity through its pages for Negro business men to exchange helpful or useful ideas. 4. We constantly keep before our people the fact that, race patronage increases faith in, and respect for ourselves, and causes us to believe in the work we are doing. Information comes that Mr. C. C. Spaulding of Durham, Mr. Geo. F. King of Wilmington and other representative men are making an effort to begin a similar publication in North Carolina.

GEN. BALLOW HAS THE MANAGER ARRESTED UNDERTA POLLAR Former R A real fistieuf was pulled off yesterday afternoon between Undertaker E. Seabrook and Undertaker L. M. Pollard. The whole affair which attracted a large crowd in front of Undertaker Seabrook's office, occurred over a dead body which he had at his establishment and which he refused to surrender to Undertaker Pollard. Words ensued between the two and it is stated that Undertaker Pollard and his assistant, D: J. Scott, took a few punches at Undertaker Seabrook. About this time, one of Undertaker Seabrook's helpers showed up and entered the scrap which lasted about five minutes. In the get-away, it is stated that Mrs. Seabrook took a throw at her husband's adversaries as they were passing the office. It is reported that Undertaker Pollard wheeled suddenly and slapped her face. The affair will be aired in the police court this morning. The grand oratorical and musical contest under auspices of Y.

Great wrongs were eventually committed on both sides, culminating in the killing of a score or more of white people and the hanging of thirteen Negroes. In the midst of all the feeling and excitement caused by the East St. Louis and Houston troubles, the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines won golden approbation all over the United States, made thousands of friends for the colored race and achieved a glorious success. It did all of this by following precisely the advice that was repeated to the 92d Division in Bulletin No. 35. "Our enemies do not wish the United States to have its military power increased by colored soldiers, and they stand ready to add fuel to every race discord in order to embarrass our country as much as possible in this war. Is it a wonder then, in view of what the enemy has accomplished in the past and is seeking to accomplish again, that the commander of the colored Division seeks to nlp troubles in the bud, and while prosecuting white men for their offenses against his soldiers, urges the soldiers to do their part to keep the peace and promote harmony? "I have shown that my position and action were deliberately and maliciously misrepresented to the colored people by the suppression of the news of my prompt prosecution of the theatre manager, and by falsely conveying the impression that I had taken no such action. The entire letter that accompanied Bulletin No. 35 to the press of the colored people was a misrepresentation of my attitude and of the facts in the case, and no fair-minded person, when the facts are known, as stated above, can fall to see the work of an enemy—an enemy of our country and an even greater enemy to the colored race. Is the colored race going to "fall" to such schemes? I think not. I think they will contrast the work of the troublemaker, with the solid achievements of the colored officers' training camp at Fort DesMoines and of the 92nd Division, and consider thoughtfully the words—"By their fruit ye shall know them." "C. C. Ballon, Major-General Commanding 92d Division "ON THE SALTS" Our new cafe with an up-to-date service will open Sunday and will be openday and night.

His plea was for fair treatment of the Negro, to awaken industrial pride in his and to bind him to his occupation by the hope of industrial opportunity and achievement. In answering the criticism that the Negro works each week until he ears enough to keep him for the rest of the week, Mr. James said, "Increase the Negro's wants and raise his standards of living by giving him a chance to rent or purchase a decent home and to enjoy the community privileges of other citizens and he will work more regularly, be more dependable, and become more efficient. There are men in this hall who have tried the method I suggest with their colored workmen and they will testify to the fact that they have no men of any other racial origin working more loyal, trustworthy and productive. Give them a chance to become foremen and to engage in all kinds of skilled and delicate work. This will inspire them and place new life in them "Remember" he said, in closing, "that the Negro citizens are Americans who have contributed their part in making this country the democracy it is, and that they will fight to the limit of their resources to keep it so." At the conclusion of the session Mr. Jones received at least forty invitations to visit various large industries to advise the managers on the proper handling of their Negro employees and was requested by six managers to find for them competent Negro labor advisers and welfare workers to handle the social problems among their colored employees. In the afternoon, by special request, Mr. Jones met in a romp-table discussion with those managers who were especially interested in Negro labor problems and who desired further light on the prover methods to pursue in holding and advancing their colored workingmen. Several of the managers of the largest plants in America which have never in the past employed Negroes except in the unskilled positions, stated that they will immediately begin to open up the higher paid and more highly skilled positions to Negroes. Others said that they would immediately begin on a housing program that would furnish to the colored workingmen with families first class, well constructed-houses of from 4 to 6 rooms with modern improvements front and back yards with flower and vegetable gardens. SATURDAY MAY 25TH, 1918 Announcement Made Through Office of Emmett J. Scott War. Department, Washington, D.C.—Through the office of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, it is announced that the War Department and the Speaking Division of the Committee on Public Information, recognizing the importance of enlightening Negro public opinion as to the war aims of the Government, have decided to appoint a special committee of speakers, to be composed of leading colored Americans who shall, as opportunity offers, seek to create and mobilize public opinion which shall back up the government in the prosecution of the war. As has been stated, the issue of this struggle depends to a large extent on the way public opinion in the United States is stimulated and directed. It is indeed only through the United efforts of enlightened and enthusiastic Americans that the full strength of the nation can be exerted, that victory can come to our righteous cause, and that America can accomplish those things for which she entered this conflict. Upon the leaders of our public opinion, therefore, rests a responsibility heavier than perhaps ever rested upon any group of people in our entire history. It is a task which can be performed only by men and women who themselves are well informed and who cooperate with all patriotic organizations, governmental and private, which are unifying public opinion in support of the national purpose. The following gentlemen from Georgia who are representative of Negro thought and opinion, have been requested by the War Department and the Committee on Public Information to render the services above indicated. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, vice president, Gammon Theological Seminary. Atlanta, Ga. Mr. L. M. Horshaw, trustee. Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Benjamin J. Davis, District Grand Secretary of the Colored Odd Fellows of the State of Georgia editor and publisher of the Atlantic Independent. Atlanta, Ga. Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor First Congregational Church, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. H. A. Rucker, former collector of Internal Revenue, Atlanta, Ga. Rev. C. T. Walker, pastor Tabernacle Baptist church, Augusta, Ga. Dr. John Hope, president, Morehouse Campaign to be Undertaken This patriotic campaign will be undertaken at an early date and zones of activity will be worked out whereby the gentlemen above named may have full opportunity to serve the United States Government in this hour of national emergency andanced. There is also being worked out a program whereby representative women of the race may later be called into service to conduct a similar campaign of patriotic activity. In addition to this $ \alpha $ special campaign will be conducted in all of the camps and cantonments where Negro soldiers are stationed, and in the cities surrounding such camps and cantonments, by colored physicians, surgeons, etc., who will seek to promote the best possible health conditions among the soldiers of the various camps. This work will take the form of lectures, clinics, stereopticon talks, etc., dealing with those subjects which directly concern the moral and physical welfare of the colored soldiers. A selected group of prominent physicians and surgeons will have charge of this campaign. ALUMNI TO MEET The regular meeting of the Ga.
