One of Many Discriminations Taking Heart Out of Drafted Boys Now Doing Labor Service. TRY TO GET ME OUT OF THIS PRISON SAYS BROKEN-HEARTED BOY Several letters have been received, in L. Lennon, from the boys in France, telling of discriminations attributed to Americans. One particularly unforgiving case is the attitude of the Y. H. A. Orsera Force. In a letter that received from a member of the National Department, the writer says, "We are very sorry that we have regretted the Colored soldiers at the U. S. Army Camp in Morsele, France. In only a part of the strife, hate, suspicion, envy and embarrassment some of our boys experienced over time. On my arrival last November, at this camp, the Y. M. C. A Canteen was opened in a small tent with a counter separating the Colored soldiers from the white. If any of the Colored boys tried to purchase any articles on the magazine side, he would be requested if any articles at the Colored counter went to purchase both youth and prose. If any of the boys only one third. This caused a opposition. After a building was constructed they refused to sell to any colored soldier. A "Colored Y. M. C. A" was then established. When I tried to purchase a block of chocolate candy, at the "White Canteen" I was told you know we do not sell to you colored boys at this Canteen. I was told it was the Camp Commandery that would introduce the secretary said. Well, I will serve you this time. During the sixth fifteen days, a memorandum was sent to all organization commanders instructing them to encourage the Colored under their command, not to maintain the "White Canteen." Some of them were wearing a service and wound strip, who had given a good account of themselves in the fight of battle. They had fought in the battle shell! We expect to see a soldier. We shall expect, on our return to the States to note the growth of Democracy, a Democracy that will be broad enough to overlap the bounds of color. A pitiful plea comes from a young boy belonging to the 809th Pioneer Regiment still in France. The Pioneers are labor regiments to which most of the Colored drafted boys were sent. The writer well remember that the young man. His question was so enclosed to Washington to hurry him along. He finally was drafted in the August. Twenty-one-year-old man. Now he writes the following to his mother: "Before the armistice was signed the white people over here were real dead to the Colored boys, but now they are as mean to us as possible. Some of the boys from my company were sent to Washington to build some lattices. They were built by the boys, yet they were not allowed to use them. One of the boys is in the hospital now in a dying condition because he used one of the lattices. His skull was fractured by one of the white soldiers. The next day one of the boys was shot at because he refused to "double time" (10x). The man who did the shootout was a major. We were a mild sample of the treatment we are forced to put up with over here. Yet, we are still loyal to America, otherwise, still slaving for Suec Sam. Please try to get me out of this prison country. I have heard that the white soldiers in a little German town turned a machine gun on some of the boys from my regiment. while they were up there argying for some chance in the chance to fight the men, but they are now fighting for existence. I can not get to town. I am issued a four-hour pass, it takes two hours to walk to town and two to return to town. I am issued a four-hour pass, I am well but sick at heart." "Can't Use Bath Tuhs." Another well educated young man, who has been attached to the 804th Missouri Infantry, writes: "We are leagged in a little town between Verdum and Mets, on the Orne River. The following order was issued on February 4. Headquarters 3rd Brn. 804 P. I. February 6, 1913. Memo—Men of the 3rd Battalion will use the showers only. Tub baths and white soldiers stationed here. All men will be notified of this arrangement. By order of Major Garrett. The young man writes that, "al- though there was a light snow on the ground, I went to the river and took a bath."

Charging that Coloried people are excluded from grand jury panels because of their race and color, John Epperson and Ethel Whitman, both Colored, today entered pleas of abatement in the Harrison county court. The man was indicted for violation of the prohibition law and the woman for shooting another woman. They ask that the indictments be quashed, citing a recent supreme court decision in McLennan county in which it was held that indictments against Colored people are invalid. W didiminate to color was shown in drawing the jury. DR. MAYNES AND GOOD OTHERS MAY LOSE THEIR JOBS WASHINGTON, D. C. March 21.

Y., March 18—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Secretary, John R. Shilliday of New York, states that the Association has received from an anonymous correspondent a clipping from the Jackson (Miss.) Daily News of March 9. The clipping, after referring to the fact of inquiry from the Association had been received the previous day requesting information concerning the fate of Eugene Greene, a Negro, alleged to have been lynched at Belzon, Miss., on Sunday, March 2, and as to what steps had been taken by the Mississippi authorities to deal with the situation, goes on to remark as follows: "The Governor is not in the city and the telegram has not been answered. However, the Association has advanced the Advancement of Colored People need not remain in the dark concerning the fate of Greene. He was 'advanced' all right from the end of a rope and in order to save burial expenses his body was thrown into the Yazoo River." The Association's anonymous correspondent encloses a pencilled memo, in excellent handwriting, as follows: "If this information does not surface, the fate of the rope and exact location of where this coon was hung."

WITH STANDARD GONE PARADES CHICAGO Beautiful Flag Presented to Boys Before They Left for France Is Consigned to "Junk Heap." Protests Sent to Senators and Representatives at Capital, Some Action Expected. CHICAGO, III. March 20. On Monday, March 16, the hearts of the people of this city were made to rejoice, when they extended welcome to 800 valiant warriors of the 366th Infantry who arrived at 9 a. m. in command of Major A. Ross (white) 1. Ardees Without Standard 2. Following the welcome greet at the Coliseum, and after mingling with the home folks, at 2 p. m. the unit formed to parade the loop on the way to the union depot, where they entrained for Camp Crowd, central demobilization point. Crowds interspersed with many nationalities lined, cheered heartily as the boys passed in review of General Wood and committee on the Art Institute steps. All were general in assembling the troops all the way, but—and where was their battle standard in whose defense they had written the word "Frame" in blood? Major Ross, when questioned about the matter, said, "I was not present at the time when the flags were, disposed of. I do know, however, that it was ordered salvaged by Brigadier Gen. Charles G. Gehart, but for what purpose I am unable to say. The reason for such circumstances is unusual and know of no precedent of like nature." The beautiful regimental flag was presented to the boys before they left Chicago for France, in a great public demonstration at the Coliseum, by Editor R. B. Abbott of The Chicago Defender. That the flag had been ordered placed in the tank heap, "the fact is declared in alldavis, by the Y. M. C. A secretary and chaplain of the regiment. Speaks Of Segregation The officers of the regiment were outspoken in their criticisms of the treatment received on board the ship in routes to America, and had no hesitation in saying that even while on the field of battle they were compelled to fight the Germans at the front and the propaganda but in force and effect by the white officers of the American army in the rear. This is said to have been so pronounced that had not these troops typified the real spirit of democracy their morale would have been destroyed. One of the officers said, however, that little change in the situation was expected in view of the fact that certain Southern officers spent more time in attempting to spread race prejudice than they did in trying to win the war. Protests have been sent to the generators and representatives at the Capitol, and it is expected that some action will be taken. Treated RICHMOND, Va., March 21 — The first overseas soldiers to parade the streets of this city were about 600 troops of the 15th New York and 8th Illinois, on Saturday. These men were treated shamefully by the white people. The reception tendered the headdress. Even the beaten seem to weep; for it rained throughout the day. The boys were not even allowed to use the Armory and were compelled to eat in the rain and mud, in the backyard of the Army and Navy Club. The mayor who was supposed to welcome them, could not be found, neither was the governor seen as the troops marched by the capitol in the square. It was a thrilling sight to see those boys march past with brave, serious faces, topped by the sombre steel helmets, parks on this island. This is the worst story we have heard of. Even in South Carolina, the returning Colored troops are honored. Richmond must hide its face in shame at the treatment accorded those veterans.

OLIVE BAPSTIST CHURCH: 1429 N. 12th St. Rey, D. W. Morris, Pastor. We feel in duty bound to pay tribute to the masterly sermon delivered to us on last Sunday morning by Father Treadway. Our hearts were abased as our wickedness were held forth that caused God to repent of having made man in the earth. Gen. 6:6. May this good father have many long years to ring the welkins with God's pure gospel delivered with convincing simplicity as of a little child. Pastor Morris orated the ten virgins at night. Matt. 25:6. Behold the Bridegroom cometh. Many good points were shown and many dainty tidbits to be called over and slowly observed. A truly good sermon of great help to all. On Thursday night, March 27 the Tennessee Eagles will vie in wit and talent at the concert given by Mrs. Eva Webb and Mrs. Motima Johnson. A rousing time is expected. Ice cream served free. Come early to get a good seat. Admission, 10 cents. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH The Lord's Supper at Central on next Sunday will immediately follow the morning service. Pastor's morning subject: "The World's Greatest Magnet." At night, "Kahab." The morning Sunday School is a success; attendance large. The new front of the church is rising above the ground. Pastor Stevens is suffering quite a handicap from the loss of his machine. METROPOLITAN NOTES. Last Sunday the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church enjoyed a glorious day, and, was favored at 11 o'clock with the presence of the Rev. Dr. Benjamin Young (white), pastor of Union Methodist Church, Delmar and Grand avenues. Union Methodist Church is regarded as one of the great historic churches of the city. The very name of the church would subject that the pastor must be a man of unusual ability, and that is true in the Rev. Dr. Benjamin Young. He delivered one of the most powerful sermons that was ever delivered from the platform or any other. The people looked upon Dr. Young as a great Gospel preacher. His message went home to the hearts of the people, and they are still rejoicing. Sunday is to be another red letter day. The pastor, Dr. Shaw, will deliver two special sermons, morning and evening. Dr. Shaw is now engaged in delivering a series of sermons. These sermons have been the talk of the city. He is expected to be at his heat Sunday morning. The entire church and Sunday School are working like bees to keep up the standards of this great church. All are invited to take a part. FIRST FREE BAPTIST CHURCH. N. E.

JAMES CHURCH Doctor Peck chose his text Sunday morning from St. Luke #4,10, "Christ our help in the hours of our helpliness." The lesson was drawn from three stages of man's physical and spiritual life. The morning filled with the exhilaration of youth; the noonday when he reaches his zenith of his strength and power, and the evening when his sun begins to set and the shadows are gathering. It was a wonderful message, full of inspiration and power. Dr. Leroy Lundy made an earnest and pathetic plea for the prayers of the church for strength to sustain him through the ordeal of the present week. The members and friends laid $106 on the table in response to Dr. Peck's appeal for funds to assist the unfortunate doctor. The evening service was well attended. The pastor spoke briefly from Romans 9th chapter, 28 verse. Three accessions during the day. The Second quarterly report eclipsed all previous ones. The different auxiliaries have over $700,000 in their treasuries. The stewards have $260 in the bank with all bills paid. St. James is in the midst of a big rally, responding to the call of the pastor March. 6, for a partial report of subscriptions received, the combined report of the various captains was $4,371. Hear Dr. J. W. Martin, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who will preach at St. James next Sunday morning. Strangers always welcome. ST. PAUL NOTES Rev. A. C. Williams was detained because of the recent washout on the railroad. He did not arrive in time to preach Sunday, but Rev. Stenley, who is always ready to serve when called on readily responded and without any previous preparations delivered the sermon of his life. He preached from Exodus 15:3. "The Lord is a man of war and the Lord is his name. The young minister proved himself equal to the emergency. The way he outlined his text and the manner in which he traced Moses, the great lawgiver and his dealings with Pharaoh and leading the children from under bondage was both penetrating and pathetic. At the evening service, Rev Williams, our beloved pastor, though tired and wormout from his long trip, fed us from Romana 1:17. "The just shall live by faith." We can truly say that we all did eat and were filled. Several united with the church. As our church services have been shortened, it is necessary that you come early Sunday morning because every seat will be taken by eleven o'clock or soon thereafter. Rev Williams has a soul inspiring message. The soldiers and strangers in the city are welcome to all of our services. The evening service is exceedingly short and spicy. MT. AIRY BAPTIST CHURCH 1727 S. 3rd and Lafayette Sunday school last Sunday at the usual hour conducted by our assistant Superintendent, Bro. H. B. Burton; prayer service then began. The pastor took his discourse from the 14th verse of the 13th chapter of John "What is Jesus Christ to us?" B. Y. P. I at 6:30 every Sunday evening. Night services; prayer meeting led by Deacona Harris and Brown; open lesson read by Rev. Cammack, 107th Pauls. The pastor then came before us. He preached a powerful sermon, using as a text, "Let the reedem of the Lord say so." Rev. Penrose, (white) was again in our mkst. We were blessed with a noble sermon Monday night by Rev. Dr. Morris, pastor of Mt. Olive Bapt. church He spoke from the 11th St. Luke. The words read like this: "A friend of mine have come to me and I have nothing to set before him." We were all made to say as the old annotes: "Did not our hearts burn within as he talked with us by the way." The rally on the 5th Sunday in the month Come and share a part in our great meetings. Rev. P. R. Royster, pastor I. B. Burton, reporter. cqlstd CORINTHIAN ,BAPTIST ,CHURCH Service at the Corinthian Baptist Church last Sunday morning was conducted by the pastor, from the 7th chapter of Daniel. The sermon was enjoyed by all. Rev. Mason prescheduled at 8 n.m. from Rev. 3:20 subject. "Behold I stand at the door and knock if any man bears my voice and opens the door I will come into him and will sip with him and be with me." The Holy Spirit was with us. Next Sunday is communion day and all are welcome. There will be a rally the 1st Sunday in April for the pastor. Come and take part with us. Rav, E. A. Robinson, pastor: A. M. Hopkins, reporter. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY The Woman's Auxiliary meet with Bethel Baptist Church. 729 S. Fourth street. A. Hall, president; Mrs. Royer secretary. Dr. Hicks occupied the pulpit at 11 a.m. Text Gal. 6:17: "From henceforth, let no man trouble me; for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Class met at 1 p.m. in the church auditorium and enjoyed a pleasant spiritual interview Dr. Hicks has announced that on the first Sunday in April he would present the class leader having raised the largest amount of class dues du sing the month of March with a beautiful gold medal. This procedure will continue among the leaders until Dr. Hicks pastorate at Quian has expired. The one holding the medal the last month will be entitled to it as a token of gratitude and faithfulness. The tiny Sunbeam class was entitled to the banner for finance and attendance last Sunday. Only one pupil absent. Mrs. Lena Parker teacher Mr. Otto, Hicks lead the A. C. E. league at 7 p.m. He created much interest in the meeting. Next Sunday at 8 p.m. a special program will be delivered by the Endeavor. Rev. George Mackey brought a sweet message of love and endurance to the waiting congregation at 8 p.m. One young lady came forth and joined us Tuesday evening. March 25, Quinn Stewardesses will present a drama, "Those husbands of oure," for the benefit of the A. M. E. Church at Wellston. Admission 10 cents. A New Rinkte We would not let you forget the "Chain of Ten," the Quinn Social club until we went so far over the top, at Mrs. Ruth Shetlon's a few weeks ago that we were forced to change the name to "The Endless Chain." We now stand in awe to know what to call the Jolly Links, who gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Black on Pennsylvania Avenue last Friday evening. To those who did not come, we do not know what you would have done unless Mrs. Black would have suggested that while these go let others come. Mr. and Mrs. Black were voted the most popular host and hostess in Carondelet, by virtue of the fact that more new links gathered at their home since the Chain has been welded. At this home there were no "bluce" except the "Blues set to music." Next Friday evening, we go to Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Steele's home, 4596 Gardel Avenue, a former resident of Carondelet. We were sorry to lose this esteemed family from our community. KINLOCH PARK, MO Second Baptist Church The Second Baptist Church held extremely good services throughout Sunday. The evening service being covenant, was enjoyed by all. The program rendered for us Saturday by the First Free Baptist Church of St. Louis was splendid and was so well enjoyed that we wish them an early return. The committee was composed of Sisters Laurel Scott, Susie Wilson and Lottie Jackson rendered splendid service which brought success in a financial way. The Sunday School is progressing with good attendance and the willing and strenuous efforts of superintendent Bro. C. Wilson. The B. Y. P. U. is also doing well with the Bro. H. Steward as president. For instructions and inspiration follow the crowd to the Second Baptist Church. Rev. A. P. Harrold, pastor; Sister Estella Gordon, secretary. March 16, was a memorable day at First M. E. Church. The pastor, Rev. A. L. Reynolds, was at his best. At 11 o'clock he preached from Gen. 11:1: "In the beginning God." The discourse was rich and inspiring. The speaker confessed his faith in law, in matter and motion; but declared that back of all; upholding and sustaining all stands the omnipotent and omnipresent God. He declared God to have been there in the beginning; to be now on the scene, and on the scene to abide forever more. Sunday afternoon, you could see the brave knights and fair ladies gathering from every direction, forming in battle array. Finally the ladies stormed the citadel; the men were utterly routed. You could see them wandering about, suffering the agonies of shameful defeat. The men rallied at 5 p. m., recaptured the fort, put the fairer sex to flight and completed the arrangements for the men's affair, Monday night. On that night, after the gloom and shadows had cleared away, a white flag was holsted, terms of peace declared and Brave Knight and Fair Ladies met as friends. The ladies say the knights excited themselves. The pastor is indeed proud of the men of the First M. E. Church. It is hard to suffer defeat, hence the ladies say that they are going over the top March 31 with an informal recital and reception. All men are invited and demanded to attend.

The Carnatitton Embroidery Club has successfully passed another milestone, and what was real yesterday becomes past history today. In this age of loyalty one cannot afford to fail any organization that has any claim upon his loyalty without violating the spirit of the day. The Carnation Embroidery Club has survived perhaps intact, the crisis of the greatest world upheaval. With the returning of peace, this joyous truth should inspire us to put forth double efforts for a bigger and better club. For the coming year, the club intends to do its full share towards awakening a new spirit and enthusiasm in our community life. Our annual banquet was held at the residence of Mrs. F. Pittmore, 4350 N. Market. A very unique luncheon was served, consisting of chicken salad, hot rolls, ice cream and cake. All were pleased to have with us the following: Mr. and Mrs. Gamble, Mrs. DoLord, Mrs. Chatman, Messra. Porter and Dowd. Young Miss Florenceca Perkins favored us with piano selections. The next business meeting will be held March 21 at the residence of Mrs. Pittmore, 4350 N. Market, Mrs. Scarbrough, president; Mrs. Curtin, secretary; Mrs. Wooda, reporter.

CITIZENS OF THE WORLD TO DECIDE FATE OF-EX-KAISER McClure's Publishing Co. of New York City. Along with Other Publishing Syndicates Throughout the World, Institutes a Voting Protest to be Presented at the Peace Conference. McClure's Publishing Co. one of the largest publishing concerns in this country, together with the Chicago Herald-Examiner, is running an extraordinarily popular contest on the question of "What should be done with the ex-Kaisers." This contest is run in connection with a super-photoplay entitled "What Shall We Do With Him," which is shown in leading theatres throughout the world. "The answers are to be forwarded by the theatre proprietors to the McClure Publishing Co. in New York, who will summarize all the answers and indicate what the majority of local voters wish to William Hoehlenzoll, and so will be forwarded to the Peace Conference at Paris. At all enormous' expense, the main assignment of the Comet and Movie Theatres have secured this master piece from McCure's to be shown at the Comet Theatre on Sunday, March 21st and at the Movie Theatre shortly afterwards. The voting contest is held at the Comet Theatre and coupon are supplied by the house to all those who wish to vote (and all must). These coupon answers will be mailed by the proprietor to the McCure Publishing Co. And it is the duty of all the citizens to freely express their opinion. The picture is not a war picture, it is a timely interesting presentation of the biggest problem facing the world today. It demonstrates the fact that the Kaiser is one of the biggest criminals in history and compares his deeds with those of Judas traitor. It shows the magnitude of the problem involved in the question of his disposal and it is intently interesting through every moment of the six reels. Sunday, March 22nd is the day of the showing and your answer must be in the ballot box in front of the Comet Theatre before 10 p.m. Monday, March 24th. Write clearly if you think he should be placed in a cage and exhibited throughout the world? Or should be placed in solitary confinement? Or should he die the fate of Napoleon? Think over this problem, decide on your answer, write it detach the coupon and drop it in the ballot box before Monday evening 10 p.m. at the Comet Theatre. Opens Sunday. March 23rd.

Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, will deliver the commencement day address. Tracts in North Pacific as Large as This Country With Unfathomed Depths There has been discussed the need of a comprehensive exploration of the Pacific ocean. It is believed, observes a writer, that such an undertaking should be on a far greater scale than has hitherto been attempted, and that future work should be broadly areal rather than local, as on single islands, or linear, as in single voyages. The work of the magnetic survey ship Carnegie, which makes repeated trips over many interwoven sea routes, is an example of the kind of exploration that is wanted. In the opinion of men of science, it should be continuous through ten or twenty years. It has been shown how little definite information the world has about the largest of the oceans. One specialist declares that in the north Pacific there is a tract twice as large as the United States that has been crossed by only a single line of sounding at intervals of 250 miles wide, and that there are a number of tracts as large as this country that are entirely unfathomed.

Creole Preparations Creole hair grower . . . $0.60 Creole temple and bald spot CONCERNING YOUR HAIR INVENTION OF AN EXPERT CHEMIST. You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively aid litching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinife, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinfa-saap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasap soap is very freely and is a thorough construction. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinada and Quinasasap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 23c each. If your drugstist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price, and we will mail them to you direct.

LOUIS ARGUS Boosters Take Up Industrial Work For The Benefit Of Race Constructive Program Commended By Citizens of Both Races As Step in the Right Direction Movement Overshadows Any Recent Race Activity And Has Earmark Of Overwhelming Success The Boosters Organization is not only living up to its name, but is do- ing a class of constructive work for the race that is attracting world-wide attention as well as setting an ex- ample for all other organizations which claim to be existing for race uplift. In the past three weeks, the Industrial committee of the Boosters has accomplished more in a concrete way than has ever been dreamed of by the many civic and fraternal bodies which claim St. Louis as their home. Going about their work quietly and without any superfluous display of faring trumpets and clangingongs, this committee has succeeded in securing recognition for race patronage, by placing members of the race in the following positions in places of business conducted by white people: In Gerber Bros. Grocery and meat market, 2800 Market street, Miss Juanta Steele, 4596 Garfield Avenue has been employed as cashier at a good salary; in the Wiesman Packing Co. main store, 2826 Market street, Mrs. Ala North, 23 South Compton Avenue has been employed as a clerk and has received an advance in salary since starting to work two weeks ago; in another of the Wiesman Packing Co. stores, located 3148 Laclede Avenue, Mr. Booker T. Dawson, 3307 Lucas Avenue, has been employed as salesman, and at the Manchester Dry Dry Goods Co., 2840 Market street, Miss Lillian Morton, 3313 Lawton Avenue, has been employed as saleslady. This committee is working hard night and day, and in the near future, hope to place Colored clerical help in every place of business where the majority of the patronage comes from members of the race. The committee is also working hard to educate the rank and file of the race to their duty to those places which are conducted by members of the race, and if the progress attained thus far is kept up it will be only a short while before the Colored population of St. Louis will come into its own by being accorded just recognition for the millions of dollars spent annually in stores and other establishments conducted by white people, and the Colored merchant will likewise share in the fruits of this most worthy movement. The secretary of the committee was asked by a news reporter if he thought that the Colored churches and lodges would endorse and aid the movement his reply was: "I do not see how any minister, of whatever church he may be, can consist entirely refuse to endorse or aid a movement which means so much to the boys and girls whom we are educating yearly for positions other than cooks and washerwomen, and as for lodges, no lodge, in my estimation, could be so narrow as to even think of retarding or falling to approve the work which we are doing and have already done for the race." The Industrial Committee of the Doctors consist of the following gentlemen: Chas. H. Turpin, chairman; W. H. King, secretary; Ernest Patillo Jas McMinn, Jesse Raybon, Julius Weil, Henry Taylor, H. A. Smith, A. E. Foote, Atty Geo, L. Vaughn and Ben F. Barrow. Any person wishing to file their name for a position, will send name and address to Secretary W. H. King, 3435 Lawton Avenue, or to the Chairman, Chas H. Turpin, Booker Washington Theatre, 23rd and Market Sts., or give their name address to any other member of the committee. The committee will appreciate it very much if Colored people will go these places of business named above, and ask to be waited upon by the Colored clerks who have been given positions. By doing this you will be helping the Committee to open up new avenues of employment. Col. Hayward Tells Of Daring Exploits Of 369th Regt. NEW YORK, March 21.—Colonel William Hayward of the 369th Regiment, U.S. Infantry, formerly known as the "Old 15th," recently roasted to a wild pitch of enthusiasm, one of the largest crowds that was ever packed into old Carnegie Hall, when he told of the daring exploits in France of his regiment of brave Negro fighters, most of whom were recruited in New York City. Colonel Hayward was the principal speaker at a thrift meeting called to launch the War Savings Society movement in New York City and to promote the sale of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. Colonel Hayward's speech was easily the "hit" of the evening and, by continuing cheering and bursts of applause, the thousands assembled showed their appreciation of the brave work done by the Negro soldier in the great war. "In talking to Justice Hughes a few days ago I was astonished to find out that the people in this country did not know what happened in that last big German offensive on the 15th of July," said Colonel Hayward. "You see the Germans had been reinforced by released prisoners from Russia so that they had their maximum forces. They had broken thru the British and it was pretty near disaster. This was cast of Rhelms. The Germans had also form through the French at Montdorff, gone thru thirty or forty kilo." Colonel Hayward then explained that the Old Fifteenth had been turned over to General Gourand, commander of the Fourth French Army and that his men captured some Germans on the night of the 14th of July, thus learning that the expected attack would be launched upon their front. During the 1911 days that the regiment was in the trenches, he said, there were weeks when there was nothing between the German army and Paris but his resentment. Prince Hall Lodge No. 1, A. P. & A.

To the Public: I write this because I wish suffer ing humanity to be benefited. I suffered with Sclastic Rheumatism for 13 weeks. My flesh was so sore I could not stand my clothes to touch me. The pains ran from my hip to my big toe, on the left side, and felt like a thousand needles were placing my flesh. I did not rest day or night; now I can sleep like a baby from 9 at night till 4 in the morning. I was very nervous and depressed in spirit and the pains in my head were so severe I thought at times I would lose my mind I feel better now than I have since last August. I had not been able to be out of the house since October 23, when a friend advised me to try these remedies. After I had taken six doses of the New Discovery and the Blood and Liver Tablets, I could see a difference and when I had taken it steady for three weeks I was able to walk anywhere in the house. I am very grateful for these remedies. Yours very respectfully, MRS. J. E.

LOUIS ARGUS BY ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS. Rep. Associated Negro Press. BY Associated Negro Press. PORTLAND, Ore., March 13—The Colored people of Oregon, the population of which has increased in large numbers in the last two years, are much increased over the failure of the legislature to pass the "Equal Rights" bill, which was finally voted down by a vote of 31 to 24. The bill was to extend equal privileges, which even without a law should be devised in hotels, theaters, and other public places regardless of Race. The declaration is being loudly made that there will be a day of reckoning. HARTFORD, Conn.; March 13.—A large delegation of Colored people visited the legislature this week in an effort to have "Equal Right Legislation passed. George W. Crawford and J. P. Parker, of New Haven, were spokesmen. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 13. A statewide organization has been formed, with headquarters in Philadelphia, to demand of the present legislature a Civil Rights bill. It will be patterned after the New York bill. The off fort is being backed with large sums of money for expenses. "The day of reckoning and justice is at hand, said Dr. Barber, the president. CENTRAL FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE TAMPA, Fla., Mar. 13.—The Central Florida Conference, presided over by Bishop John Hurst, D. D. of Ralalitmore, Md., has just closed one of the most successful sessions ever held in the history of the of the organization and Rova, S. A. Williams, R. D. McLin M. D. Potter, A. Jackson and I. H. Dixon were elected delegates to the general conference in St. Louis, May 1920. Bishop Hurst delivered a strong address during the conference commending the race for its part in the world wide war for democracy. "We have discharged our duty," he said and now we are asking the government for no special favors. We want only that which is enjoyed by any other American citizens. We do not want the railroads to provide us with special cars, special waiting rooms and special ticket windows; but let us take our chances with the rest." Rev. S. A. Williams' the choice of Florida for the episcopal bench in addressing the conference said "Europe has recognized the fact that bravery and manhood knew no color or race, for the American white man and the American Negro came over side by side and put the Huns to flight. We won democracy for the world and we want that America shall be included in the world." Dr. J. C. Caldwell, Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League whose life is being spent for the young people, attended the conference and delivered several addresses, pleading for the young people. He declared that if the church did not provide for the young men and women socially; then the devil would. He has made many friends in the state. Dr. A. J. Carv of Chicago is also a favorite in this section. The state is one in supporting Dr Williams for episcopal honors. FINED FOR BEING IN LOVE NEGRO Press. WHEELING. W. A. March 12—A white woman, Miles Gray, was brought in Court here because it was discovered that she was in love with a Negro, George-Williams. Every effort was made by the Court to show her the "folly of her way" but she absolutely refused to disclaim her rejection for the man Williams. As a result, the woman was given the maximum sentence of six months in jail and $50 fine. The woman went to her punishment without a murmur except to state that as soon as she is out she will marry Williams regardless of protests. HOUSEHOULD HINTS By Mrs. M.

Hope, Ark, March 21—White citizens of this city were thrown into a fit when Mrs. Mignon Avington, a beautiful French girl, alighted from a train here, last week and asked to be taken to Mrs. Jennie Allen, her sister-in-law. Mrs. Avington, before coming to this country, was a resident of Saveray, France, where during the recent war and occupation of that city by American troops, she was married to an Afro-American soldier. Lieut. Walter Avington, brother of Mrs. Allen. Her maiden name was Mignon Poste. A lithe conveyed the French girl to her relatives' home, where she expressed a desire to spend the night. During the early part of the evening crowds of Arkansas "crackers" collected at the station, and sent word to the Allens that if Mrs. Avington was permitted to remain over night the house would be burned to ashes. The French girl declared that she would remain in spite of the threats, Mr. George Atkins, (white.) Chairman of the Council of Defense, advised her to spend the night at the Barlow Hotel, a fashionable resort. She left the Allen house reluctantly. Mrs. Avington came to this city upon the advice of her husband, who is in New York, and returned, there after a three days' stay here. The couple will return to France within a few weeks, where Mrs. Avington's father is a banker and a member of the Chamber of French Deputies. She spoke frequently through her interpreter, Miss France Buchan, of the glorious record Afro-American troops had made in France. She also spoke with much feeling of America's contemptible treatment of our people. FILIPINOS DEMAND FREEDOM MANILA. March 10.

The cheater and the usurper are, by the rule of the game. frowned upon, condemned, penalized and oatra- chsed ‘ 4 z In this busy American life we are in the race. Our goal is the highest standards of citizenship. We are asking no epecial road “over which to travel to reach this goal, All we asks a fait chance in the race of life, Set your standard. We are willing to be judged by every rule’ of the game. Not pity nor special sym- pathy is our plea. but an equal opportunity with all other people that make up this great Republic, @ * We are in this race. -Our training and the very nature of things will not let us besatisfied as human beings when we see oth- ers enjoying thethings that we are entitled to, without a protest, Lay down your rule, play your cards on top of the tablepnd we are willing to take our chance in the game. * The laws of the land are rigidly enforced against us, yet we '. re denied justice in the courts. We are accused of not having the necessary experience and training to fit us for the proper en- trance into the American life; yet we,are denied work in the skilled trades of the land, we are denied the right to sit in the juror box, we are denied the right of first-class travel when we pay the first- class fare; we are denied. the ballot, and we are denied the ordi- mvye-nrtesies that every other class.of citizens enjoy with im- panity.

It it to be remembered that our cause is peculiar to all other races in this country. Other groups and nationalities have suffered temporari- iy.on account of racial prejudice, but their protest helped them te overcome their obstacles. We ‘shuuld profit by the experience of others. We Should appeal to the fair-minded for co-operation, and protest the buse treatment forced upon us by the preindiced.

But you find _avery few who will kick a bull.dog, because he will have trouble, Haman Rights is a priceless gem. We should not be satisfied until our rights as human beings are respected. The stronger the pro: test. the more the consideration, We appeal to true patriotic Americans, We solemnly protest the injustices forced upon us. . 13 Month Year, New Calendar Idea Scheme Launched by American Equal Month A plan to save 850,000,000 a year in time and $15,000,000 in coin by the addition of 4 month to the present twelve month calendar +has beon launched by the American Equal Month association, acrording to an announcement made by that orcanization.

Canned Goods Will Stand Little Freezing: Without Any Appreciable Change ‘In answer to numerous inquiries as to the Injury which freezing does to canned goods, the bureau of chemistry of the United States department of agriculture states that cold, unless it goes below the freezing point, seems to have no bad effect. In regard to the danger of eating canned goods that had been frogen, the bureau of chemistry says: “Most canned goods will stand a Uttle freezing without appreciable change. Repeated freesing and thaw- ing cause the foods to become flabby and gives a fiat taste. Such a-change, however, dees not alter the whole someness or food walue of the ma- terial, but it may change the texture, appearance. and Salatability. The ac- ‘tual damage varies with the different kinds of canned foods and in general is somewhat similar to damage done by freezing the same food in the fresh condition. - 3 “AN canned goods whether frozen or not should be inspected for evi- dence of spoilage, dite to leakage or Insufficient processing. . ‘Buch .xpollage is Indicated by swelling of the cans and by an unpleasant flavor or odor of the contents.” = Birth Stones—Supposed _ Meaning of Various Gems January—Garnet, meang constancy, February—Amethyat, “rest. and cot: ‘tentment. —March—Bloodstone, wis doth and majesty.” “Apeil—Diamond. purity and majesty.
