The United States Government, through the Federal Board for Vocational Education, intends to see that every honorably discharged, soldier who served his country in the war against Germany and who was disabled, shall secure a position that will allow him to serve in the porter was assured, this week, by Messrs. Lamkin and Partch in charge of this district, that this intention means every soldier, regardless of race or color. These gentlemen state that the Colored boys are getting the same education as the given whites. They admit the same "swamped" at present, but say that eventually all will be cared for. The plan of the Government is to provide for the entire cost of the support and instruction of the disabled men while in training. It proposes to give every disabled soldier a position which he can fill with 100 per cent of the equipment, even to an elementary course for those who have not received a minor education. From the time the Board takes a man in charge he will receive $65 a month for expenses until he is qualified to fill a position trained for. The Board will secure the employment and keep in touch with him in order to work to assure his permanent comfort. St. Louis's is in District No. 3. The offices are 517-21 Chemical Building, where applications should be made. DR. DU BO1S HFRE FRIDAY.

He will tell at first hand of the conditions which he saw and the things which he learned in France concerning the deeds done by our Colored heroes and the treatment which they received at the hands of American whites. There are many things which he will tell about which he cannot write, and all St. Louis should hear him. It will be the best and perhaps the only opportunity for St. Louisans to hear, first hand, a frank report of the work of the men in France and the conditions under which they worked, through this master mind who is so well-dited and trained, and who has a comment heard about town, standing room will be at a premium and those who desire space must be in their places early. The officers of the association state that the doors will be promptly opened at 7 o'clock on the evening of the lecture, and that the lecture will begin on the stroke of 8:30. Member of every church, club, church and civic organization have received special invitations to be present at the meeting and they are responding in a manner which leaves no doubt of the audience which will meet Dr. DuBois on his appearance here. There will be no admission fee charged; every one will be admitted free; the only thing necessary to do is to get there on time to get in. Officers of the church will make the event the beginning of the drama for membership of 10,000 in this city. The national body asked for a total membership of one million and Chairman Vaughn of the Executive Committee says that St. Louis must furnish 10,000 of that number. He points out that a local organization with 10,000 members will be able to make things move in St. Louis in the interest and betterment of the Negro.

D., pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, which is one of the largest Negro churches in the world, will presach at the First Baptist Church, Cardinal James Barnes Wednesday, May 14, and Thursday, May 15.

In three years Olivet Church, under his leadership, has increased in membership from 1000 to 7000 and collected and spent in 1918, the sum of $64,978. The members have two church buildings, the Dearborn the other, the purchased less than a year, at a cost of $125,000,00; is located at 31st street and South Park avenue. Standing room is at a premium at both edifices each Lord's Day. There are 28 departments in the Olivet organization and three assistant pastors. There are also eight women, on salaries, as special assistants to the pastor. These facts speak in thunderous BALANCE OF BOYS EXPECTED HOME EARLY IN JUNE Drafts Held in Reserve Army Have Done Their Part Behind the Lines and in Reconstruction Work. Indications are that the "Pioneer" infantries still in France will soon be sent home, arriving early next month. These infantries comprise the greater per cent of Colored draftsmen who were sent abroad. They were not attached to the 92nd fighting division, but were consigned to the reserves. There are St. Louisans so engaged and include more than 600 who were rushed to France during the summer and early fall of 1918 without training. Since the armistice was signed these regiments have been doing what is commonly termed "stevedore" work, yet they have been enjoying themselves playing baseball, visiting French towns and other amusements. They are seeing more of the battlefields of the great war than the boys who gained an early convoy home. The Argus has just received an interesting letter from Elmer G. Rhine, a former correspondent, who is with the 95th Infantry. Rhine's home is in Claryville, Mo. He writes: "We are now in the Ardennes between the Argonne and the Meuse and we have been through the Argonne forest ever since the beginning of the great September offensive. We have been through these bloody battlefields and we are now in this quiet valley of the Aire in the Ardennes and we often were favored a few months ago, we were favored a motor convoy and the train of soldiers going to and tro to various sections of the front. "We have been raided by the German planes at night where the dugouts in the ground was the only place to be in order to save our people from collecting our war risk insurance from the government. We have been shellled by German long range guns whose whistle of death and destruction we will hear all the time. We have seen the fields of shell holes big enough to put a small house in, we have seen a machine gun nets in the forest of the Argonne, we have seen all kinds of trenches and dugouts in these bloody battlefields. "In fact, death was the most common thing of all. You never realized your danger until it was past. Human endurance to us seems to have no limit. The objective is all we could see in the trenches to do our part. We have acquired our military Mole, and have records in our regiment sheer to the service we have rendered. It is great to be the fighting reserves of an army that fought through the wgree hickets imaginable in this battle area." Rhiney states that the boys are saving their money and sending it to their home banks. He also writes that all of the sergeant-majors of his regiment are from one place, the Colored town Oklahoma. They are Regimental Senior Mole, Marritt, who is at present attending University; Batt, Sergeant-Majors G. W. Gerry, W. W. Riley and J. M. Tyler, all former merchants in the Oklahoma town.

This is a special invitation to the St Louis ministry to be present at the Mother Church at the above hour. No admission will be charged at any of the meetings at which Dr. Williams speak. Maxwell, pastor of First Baptist Church, will be disappointed if St. Louis cannot avail themselves of the opportunity to hear this great speaker as a treat will be missed. All are reminded to remember the dates, May 14th and 15th. CITIZENS PROTEST AGAINST COTTAGE AVENUE PORTABLES Petition Signed by 1500 Aksa School Board to Divide Simmons District and Provide Adequate Buildings. A committee of eight citizens, members of the Simmons School Patrons' Association called on the Committee on Instruction to board a School for Wednesday afternoon, in support of a petition recently submitted with the signatures of 1500 residents of the district. The petition asked that "The District be divided and an adequate building or buildings be provided conveniently near the homes of the children." The disaffection grows out of the fact that the board has, for several years maintained portable schools on Cottage avenue, which have been outgrown by the enlarged district. These portables have recently been moved onto the Summer High School grounds, the health, beauty, school site and obscuring the building which has heretofore been one of the sight-seeking places for visitors. The committee called attention to the fact that the Simmons District extends from Deimar on the south to Carter on the north, and Vandeverne on the east to the city limits. There are 2500 children in the district of whom 2000 are in school. The balance are running the streets. Simmons School is located in the Cottage portables take care 500. The majority of the children have to cross two car lines and many cross three to get to school. There are also about 150 children in the Semple avenue neighborhood who have to go two miles to school. The portable schools are considered "temporary" structures and have no toilets or drinking water and the children have to go to the basement of Summer High for these conveniences. The committee adds, in order to secure the children south of Easton avenue and ask that a school be placed there in order to secure better school facilities. The school board's committee promised to make a report on the petition at a meeting to be held next Tuesday. The Shriners' Soiree Last Monday, evening, May 5, was that of real joy and gles for the scores of society folk who had patiently anticipated the approaching of that date, when the Shriners held away at the Coliseum, the occasion being a Dansante Soiré. The affair was high class and directly in keeping, from an aristocratic viewpoint with Shriners' doings. A double brass band, under a brushed instrument of Bandmaster Simma, furnished incense for those who tripped the fantastic toes. The was to have been a competitive drill between Medinak Arab Patrol and some other drill team, which failed to appear, for a cause unknown. Summarily, the event has gone on record as a success. By Associated Negro Press. CHATTANOOGA, Tex. May 8.—Insidious propaganda is being scathed by I. W. W.'s among Negroes of South, in lumbright camps and various other places, to incite a war against the whites, according to Judson Buchanan, a well known white man, who apprised members of the Manufacturers' association, that damnable thing I ever told of," aschannes.

SOUTH AFRICAN SOLDIERS CLASH WITH AMERICANS British Subjects Would Not Stand for "Strong Arm" Methods of the White Soldiers from United States. By Associated Negro Press LONDON, Eng., May 8—In a clash at the Winchester aparthirapark camp between Americans and South Africa can black soldiers, more than a score of Americans were injured, according to a local dispatch. The camp is used by Americans who served in the British Army, and it feeling between the Americans and the British blacks have existed for some time. The American whites have sought to use some of their "strong arm" methods of "keepin the blacks in their place," and their conduct became intolerable. The Britishs pounced on Britishs. The Americans with sticks, and things were quite lively for a white, until the troop and police took a hand. It is believed however, that the uppish Americans have learned their lesson, and they will hereafter leave the native sons severely alone.

THE ACCURATE LAUNDRY STARTS BUSINESS BOOM Seven large laundries were compelled to close during the war because of inability to get essential material and experienced help. The Accurate at 2611 Pine street succeeded in pulling through, although the company admits it has not been able to give the best service. Now that the crisis has passed and these materials can be boomed which will mean the employment of a hunder or more members of the race at the same time render a service that can not be excelled in any of the laundries in this city. Mr. R. Herbert Stanton, the manager, told an Argus that the laundry, which is the only one owned by the country, is supported by only a small per cent of the country. If the citizens will rally to the support of this enterprise it will be the means of building up a race industry that will assure positions for our people and keep the money in our own coffers.

COLORED MAID IS "TRUE DEMOCRACY INJURED BY BOMB HAS NOT ARRIVED" By Associated Negro Press. ATLANTA, Ga., May 8.—The old saying that "A Negro is in every thing," had a tragic realization here who nite explosion of an internal machine, sent to the home of former Senator Hardwick, resulted in the serious injury of his wife, and their Colored mall. The package, coming through the mall, was opened by the maid, on the request of Mrs. Hardwick. It was supposed to contain pencils. When the wrappings were removed, the mall was exploded off, and Mrs. Hardwick was injured over the face and body. The senator believes it was an attempt by Bolshev to get rid of him, because of his attitude on certain questions while he was in the senate. EMMETT SCOTT WILL QUIT WAR OFFICE WASHINGTON, D. C. May 8—Up to the highest authority it is declared that Hon. Emmett J. Scott Assistant Secretary of War, will leave his position as Secretary of War on July 1, 1919. That he will go back to Tuskegee for a period at least, as Secretary is prophesied, but that he will permanently hold there is questioned. There have been many alluring offers made to Mr. Scott to enter large business corporations in the North, but these, it seems, have been uniformly turned down. The offer, however, which is still open, and which rumor presists in having his accept, is that of a different bank that has long been a templation in New York. That rumor connects the names of Bankers Brown and Stevens of Philadelphia, with enterprise. That Tuskegee can Clafford to lose its most efficient secretary and one of the most levelheaded and far-sseeing diplomas of face, at agree. But that a series ofummits in Washington and at Tuskegee have made this change possible. If not probable, those who know declare certain. Scott Asked to Remain. WASHINGTON, D. C. May 8—His sides filling the very important position of Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Dr. Emmett J. Scott Secretary of Tuskegee Institute, has prepared an authentic history of the war, including sewer hand-dred. illustration. In addition, the Negro soldiers of the "world tools in making the world safe for democracy." Dr. Scott has been asked by the Secretary of War to retain his position, for which he gets $1.00 a week. The gigantic work of reconstruction may have the benefit of Doctor Scott's rich experience. ONLY PORTER WORK FOR COLORED HEROES BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 8, 2019—Is it that a Colored soldier can only do porter work is now the problem before the progressive class of Colored citizens here. Lewis Bowen, examiner in charge of the local office of the United States Employment Service, has received applications from a number of Colored soldiers who were gassed on the French battlefield, and he is trying to place all of them in some kind of a porter job, claiming the men are not able to do hard work in the ditch. Such actions as these are proof that the South has not changed away from the pre-war times. It seems that these men were good enough to fight in th front lines trenches, but not good enough to hold down a decent, respectable job in the South. Mr. Bowen's books show openings for clerical men in government jobs, but evidently this is not for Colored.

PRICE 5 CENTS But State of Michigan Has Just Passed Civil Rights Bill Which Will Make Discriminations Expensive. By Associated Negro Press. DETROIT, Mich. May 8. —According to Rev. R. W. Bagnall, an Episcopal minister, that “true democracy” has not arrived, that has been so much preached about in recent years. The Episcopal recently in Detroit, according to Rev. Bagnall: “Get out of here and go to the gallery where you belong.” This is the kneeling which a Negro leitenetum, wearing decorations for bravery and two wound stripes, received when he started to go down stairs in one of the Detroit theatres. It is a damn poor sort of gratitude we are getting for fighting for democracy, he said with bitterness. Negro corporal, with a Croix de Guerre, with breast, and a limp, which he got when he took a chine gun unloaded in the Argonne, arrived in Detroit hungry. He went into a restaurant and a foreigner, who was in charge came up to him with a sneer and said, “We don’t serve niggers in here.” “Daily thing of this sort occur in Detroit.” It seems however, that Michigan has a better element among the things who are determined that better things should pass for the legislature has just passed the Civil Rights Bill, which will make this kind of treatment very expensive in Henry Ford’s state. MIGRATION TOTHE NORTH CONTINUES By Associated Negro Press ATLANTA, Ga. May 8—Daily newspapers in every section of the south continue to carry reports that the Colored people who migrated North during the last two years, are only too glad to return South, and all of them have returned. Through investigation of this section, causes the fact that those people not only have failed to return, but thousands are leaving every month for the North. Where they are going it is difficult to say but they have not taken kindly to many suggestions made relative to reconstruction plans. As proof that the people have not returned, there is a demand for labor here, and in other sections of the south almost equal to that during the War, and yet the places cannot be filled. Our prominent business men said today little headway along some lines, in getting better opportunities, but the South has a long way to go before it becomes the paradise some of the people would picture it." OHIOANS AROUSED OVER DEFEAT OF THE EQUAL RIGHTS BILL OHIOANS AROUSED OVER DEFEAT OF THE EQUAL RIGHTS BILL By Associated Negro Press. CLUMBURG O. May 8-Indication has by no means subsided with reference to the defeat of the . . . civil Rights bill in the legislature. The Woman's Republican Club of of which Mrs. Rosa Moorman is chairman, has changed its name to the Independent Political Club, and their members declare that they will support candidates, regardless of party who may be candidates to vote to. Dr Edward L. Gilliam, the venerable pastor of northwest Street Methodist Episcopal church, in a public address, declared: "No white man, even if he brands himself Republicans from head to foot, will get my vote until after he has declared himself on the question of equal and exact justice." The Cincinnati Enquirer, daily, is reasonable for the statement that the public service managers of the state were back to position, with a threat that if the bills were passed they would oppose all who voted for it in the next election.

JAMES CHURCH. The pastor's text was chosen from Romans 6 Chapt. 4th verse. Theme: "Death and Resurrection and their meaning in the system of everyday life." The lesson taught was that death is but the end of one epoch and the stepping stone to greater possibilities be they physical mental or spiritual. Every life has been succeeded by a greater said the pastor and we only strive to maintain the present existence because of memories of the past, cost of death and the lack of a clear vision of the future. Social and civic life are also undergoing a change. The great masters around the Peace Table are fighting hard to maintain their civilization; but it must die and out of all their turmoll will come a system of social righteousness and justice. It takes courage and faith in God, but it will come. If we as a race ever attain the heights of the Anglo-Saxon, we must wade through seas of blood. It was an inspiring message and will long be remembered. The evening service was well attended, despite the storm that raged. The pastor delivered another strong message from St. Luke 19 Chap. Subject "Christ's Value of Life." You are cordially invited to attend the A. C. E. Leagues. Junior 5 p. m., Intermediate and Senior at 6:30 p. m. Hear Dr. Peck Sunday morning.

METROPOLITAN NOTES. Last Sunday the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church was, as usual, too small to accommodate those who came to hear the Rev. B. G. Shaw; deliver his first Sabbath Communion message. The Rev. Dr. Shaw was indeed at his best, many united with the church. He is now delivering sermons which mark the closing of this conference year. The Church has enjoyed 'the greatest year's work of its history, more real work done. The organization is almost a perfect one. The Sunday school, the Christian Endeavor and the various Bible Chesses and the Teachers' Training Class are all making wonderful progress. We cordially invite the public to hear the closing sermons of the Rev. Dr. Shaw for the next 4 or 5 weeks, at the end of which he will make his annual report in Dos Moles, Ia. The Metropolitan Church regards him as one of the greatest Gospel Preachers that ever entered upon its pulpit. Come early if you would like to have a good seat. There is a remarkable progress socially and spiritually in every auxiliary at Second Baptist Church. Excellent attendance Sunday. Rev. S. J. Patterson made a few remarks. This church is at work and on the fourth Sunday in July we expect all pastors and churches to be present to witness the mortgage burning. Big basket dinner and services all day. The Free Will Baptist Church Choir will give a concert at the church, May 16th. Come early, great things are in store for you. Sunday is cradle roll day and we expect to have 35 babies to be blessed.

Smith will preach a special sermon for the occasion at 11 a. m. Mrs. Bridges, who is doing a great work with the little folks, will assist in making the occasion what it should be. The choir will also reader-music selected in keeping with the service. All are invited. A very impressive service was held on last Sunday morning at 11 a.m. m. Dr. T. H. Copeland preached a glorious sermon after which Dr. Smith baptized little Otis Hemingway, the baby of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Hemingway. A great spiritual wave swept over those present in the afternoon at the General Class. Everyone was made to reloice in the God of their Salvation. In spite of the downpour of rain, a good many anxious souls turned out to hear Dr. Copeland's parting words. Let every member get behind the Sunday School, Missionary Society and Epworth League and make them go. One strong pull, one pull together and success will come to all. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. The entertainment. May 5th, was a grand one. The church was filled and all standing room taken. The Junior Band feature was a novelty, and dollars were thrown at them. You will do well to get the Webster Boys, for they are excellent. The church is coming to life again. Our pastor's health is improving. Sunday School at 3:30 a.m. preaching at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Rev. J. W. Graham, pastor. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Mother's Day will be celebrated at Quinn Chapel, Sunday, Mrs. Etta Word has charge of the program.

Parker's members, Class No. 5, are proving their church loyalty by permitting him to wear the gold medal again during the month of May. Sunday evening Dr. and Hicks were presented a valuable silver chest of silver with initials engraved on it, from the members of Quinn Chapel. Last week, Rev. C. A. Williams of St. Paul Chapel, ex-pastor of Quinn Chapel, paid a number of pleasant calls to his warm friends. We were glad to see him. He is coming soon to complete his calls. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST CHURCH Kenneryly and Pendleton Aves. All roads lead to Providence Baptist Church, Sunday May 11th, at 3 o'clock p.m. The Baptist pastors Union youth unanimously to bring their congregations to our rescue in a grand rally to raise $1,700. We have $800 in bank on interest. We are also glad to call attention to the fact that the following pastors of other denominations have agreed to be present with their congregations: Rev. Dr. Peck of St. James A. M. E. church; Rev. Dr. Smith of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. church. Our church loc located at 4356 Kemerley Ave. we paid for, we don't own it. Denominational quarrels are over with and Christian men and women are uniting their efforts throughout the earth as never before, the man who hesitates now to help a worthy cause is a back number, a fanatic and a fool. We hope every member of Providence will be on hand Sunday all day, Rev. Dr. Cole and the members of Providence have been battling for four years almost single handed and alone and have been blessed of the Lord in placing this church on a solid basis. The people are ready to help in any good cause, if the pastor will only lead, if the churches fail it is either that the pastor does not understand his sweetness and power of so operation or they are to prejudice or a general thing the ones who criticise the building after it is finished are the very ones who have given nothing. The rally at Providence will be continued throughout the month of May, so the postors who cannot be with us Sunday will have a chance to help us before the first of June. The plans and specifications for a beautiful New Providence will be on exhibition at the church, come, see and be convinced. KINLOCH FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. S. J. Patterson, missionary Antioch Baptist Association, prescheduled to a very appreciative audience last Sunday at 11 h. m. from Fealmis 25:1. Rev.

(MRS.) H. B. BURTON, reporter. MT. OLIVE BAPIST CHURCH. 1429 N. 12th St Rev. D. W. Morris, Pastor. At eleven o'clock Sunday morning at the foot of Spruce street, haplism will be administered to the converts. Every one is cordially invited to be present; the only request being good behavior, please. The revival has been spiritual and elevating; many drifters have anchored their lifeboats at this humble station, and have resolved to roam the wild seas no more; we are proud of the successes attained by our meetings. Sunday evening the converts will be fellowshipped into full membership. At night holy communion will be observed. There are bounties of rich grace and a hearty welcome for all next Sunday. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH. A great crowd greeted the pastor and his wife on their return from Omaha. Neb., last Sunday, and while he preached to us a glorious Gospel, many wept for joy, and gladness, it seemed as we had never heard our pastor before, because he appeared to be at his best. At the close of the sermon, several came forward and joined the church, and we noticed particularly little Charlie House the son of Brother and Sister John House, this child has for a long time insisted on his parents to let him join the church and be baptized, and we believe that he is destined to be a great preacher, and a great leader, may God bless him and enable his parents to keep and dedicate his life to the Lord. Our revival begins Sunday. Rev. Dr. George W. Robinson, pastor of the Corinthian Baptist Church, Des Moines, Iowa will preach for ten nights. We are anxious to have all the members and friends to line up in this meeting for right and righteousness. REV. WILLIAM H. HARRIS, Pastor. Tailor Shop We do Cleaning, Dyeing, Repairing and Pressing.

It is a government of the people and by the people. The results of that government are determined by the character of our leaders and the majority of our people. We have no government outside of this to rely upon, or to control the ignorant; and evil elements. It is not pessimistic to say great difficulties face our government, or that there are misguided elements the turmoil and conflict of labor and in our population. When we see the avowed communion, or anarchy of some classes; when we see the immense sympathetic strikes, which in the hands of irresponsible and immoral leaders become forces of lawlessness and confiscation; when we see the labor unions called upon to oppose prohibition with the cry, "No Beer: No Work." we are perplexed concerning the future and anxious last we shall run the course which, in other nations has produced cruel Revolution and despotism of the weikyd and selfish. In the turmoil and movement, what part will the Negro play? He is not a negligible element. He forms one-tenth of our population and he may be a dangerous element, or he may be a power for good. If he is merely educated, if he merely swells the number of workers, without rightly trained character, he'o will be mutilated by false socialism, by bishopless theorism, by the nation of the I. W. W. A large number of Russian Jews have come into our country, enjoyed our privileges, been trained in our public schools and yet are opposed to our principles and have been fomenters of passion and violence. They encouraged the violence of revolutionists in Russia and in our land have antagonized the government. In the right and wise settlement of our problems and economic difficulties, every worker must have a part, but there is no reason to believe the Negro, merely educated, or industrially trained, will be either a wise leader, or eager to be wisely led. But if he is a Christian, and especially, if he is an educated Christian, the Negro can help men to right views and actions and will help. It is a remarkable characteristic of the intelligent and truly religious Negro, that he is patient, forbearing, quiet in spirit and obedient to law. This war has shown the Negro loyal, sacrificing, enduring all things for a noble aim, though he is conscious of unjust treatment and not over-confident that his loyalty and devotion to our country will be followed by a more generous treatment, or a more perfect protection against lynch law. These Negroes have exhibited an astonishing regard for law and order, a wonderful trust in an ultimate recognition of justice and right, a faith in a better future which shames the immigrants, who fleeing from injustices in their native land, soon are intoxicated with the privileges of freedom and citizenship, and use for their own selfish comfort the liberties our fathers made possible through Christian service and heroism unconquerable by death. Not so the Negro. Take him all in all, he been, and will be, an asset of calmness, patience, intelligent seeking after the right. Possibly with a secular education, a training without religion, he may become a dangerous element, an advocate of violent methods. "The carnal heart is eminently toward God." He may get rid of this patience and loyalty. But if he is a Christian, if he has been trained in the truths of God and taught the value and responsibility of a true life, he will help to save our country and the world." The man is foolish who despises or inheres the force of twelve million Negroes and refuses to give them the Christian training, which will make of them trustworthy citizens resisting false theories and opposed to every principle which is in conflict with the laws of God. May the New Era bring more interest in and generosity toward the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen. SOUTHERN WOMEN HELP NEGRO Y. W. C. A'S The Y. W. C. A. forms city organizations among Negroes only when the white "Y" pledges its full co-operation with the "branch"-the policy followed among those of other races in the North and West. On this basis there are 17 Colored organizations in Southern cities, with a number of applications pending. The work is spreading rapidly; and training courses for Colored "Y" workers are given in Louisville, as well as intensive Summer courses at New York headquarters. The Colored college women are responding to this new call to service in a most gratifying way. The white women are increasingly alive to the value of the services of these trained workers among the Colored women and girls RACE MEN ARE MUSIC PROMOTERS CHICAGO. May 1—By A. N. P—"There's music in the air," and it has been placed there by members of the Rote, their orchestra and bands, military, civilian and jazz. There are three aggressions, however, that are making history in the way of around sentiments and are eating happy feeling, thy are the old Flighters, Battalions, Chicago; the old 15th Regiment Band, New York. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUE and the New York Syncopated Orchestra. These are under the direction of George Dull, James Reese Europe and Will Marion Cook, respectively. These organizations, of more than fifty men each, have been touring the country in recent months and "setting the people wild" by their rare entertainment and music. The white people have fallen in line and "are hurrahing everywhere for rare music instrumental and vocal. Last week the New York Syncopated orchestra played a return engagement to packed house in Orchestra Hall, one of the great centers in this city. A most unusual recognition was given the orchestra. In the series of symphony concerts, where the 400 attend, the Russian Symphony Orchestra concert date was cancelled, and the management announced that the date would fill by the New York Syphocated Orchestra. The anouncement was received with remarkable applause. The 16th New York Band is filling a week's engagement at the great Auditorium in the loop district, which is recognition never before attained in the history of the country, and the mammoth place can hardly accommodate the great throngs who desire to hear Europe's players, and that marvelous voice of Lieut. Noble Sissle of Cleveland and New York. SOUTH CAROLINA BAPTISTS TO OPERATE NEWSPAPER COLUMBIA, S. C., May 1.—The executive board of the Baptist State Convention of South Carolina, <u>presenting a membership of 260,000,</u> in a recent meeting formed a <u>$10,000</u> corporation to operate a weekly newspaper in the interest of the church work. The State Baptists will also raise <u>$50,000</u> for education. DR.W.H.JERNAGIN PEACE DELEGATE RETURNS HOME Special To The Argys WASHINGTON, D. C. May 1—"The Negro' place in American civilization must be won by himself, and he must not depend on others," is the declaration made by the National Race Conference through the executive committee at a reception given to Dr. W. H. Jernagin at Mt Carmel Baptist Church, last Friday night. The occasion being Dr. Jernagin's return from France, where he represented d() Conference in the Pan-African Conference and at the Peace Conference. During this day the executive committee hold an important meeting, perfecting plans for the next annual session, and to hear the report of Dr. Larginag and a report from Prof. John R. Hawkins, on the $250,000 defense fund. Both reports were far-reaching and predict better things for the Race in the future. The Rev. Dr. H. J. Callis, chairman of the executive committee, presided, and at the opening, said some plain things to the members of the committee. "The Negro in America must no longer sleep, but must wake up and do some thing" he declared. "What was won overseas will sink into nothiness, unless we back it up by real service over here. Let us plan well today, and work it out tomorrow." Every section of the country was represented at the board meeting, and over two thousand people attended the reception at Mt Carmel church. Friday night, presided over by Dr. Callas. Special music was rendered by the choir of Mt Carmel church, and then followed the report of Dr. Jernagin, who was the only man seat by an organization over to France. He said that the large crowd was to him a source of inspiration, and from the greeting, he was determined to do more than ever for his Race. He was sorry to say that in many instances the Negro, especially of the labor battalions, had not received a square deal in France, and the white officers had carried their Racism prejudice into France, and had not failed to exhibit it when the occasion presented itself. "But, I thank God that I am able to say to you, that in the face of all of this our boys discharged their duty and were heroes. Some of them died, and at the command, marched into death like they were were going into a banquet hall. The world will give them credit of being soldiers." Dr. Jernagin told of his expedition in getting over to France; his experience after he got over there; what he had seen on the battlefields in the trenches and how he was received by the men over there. His address was punctured with outbursts of applause, and concluding he made a strong appeal to every man and woman to rally to themselves, to the cell of their Race. "We must do our ourselves" he said, "and not depend on others, for if we do we will be left." Invitations will be sent to all organizations, and every Race loving fan and woman to attend the next session of the National Race Conference, which will be held next October in Washington. Short addresses were made by Rev. J. Milton Waldron, John R. Hawkins, A. C. Garner W. A. Taylor -D. C. C. Summerville, Rev. J. S. L. Hollman and Rev. W. H. Dean. A banquet was served by the local committee. COLORED Y. M. C. A. WOMEN IN FRANCE NEW YORK May 1 - By A. N. P. - Eleven of our young women have gone to France in the capacity of Y. M. C.

NEGRO GETS JUSTICE IN JACKSON COURT JACKSON, Misa, April 24—By A. N. P.—A Mississippi jury composed entirely of white men has found a Negro not guilty of the murder of a white man. The defense was sustained that the killing was done in self defense, and the defendant, a man of high moral character in the community. Speaking of the event editorially, The Montgomery, Ala., Times, white, says: "Character is the first requisite to full and adequate protection under the law, and whenever a Negro is able to get the approval and endorsement of the white people of a community, he is assured of fair treatment every instance." To this The Columbus, Ga., Enquirer Sun responds: "The Negro has no trouble getting such endorsement from the white people if he lives so that no shadow can be cast upon him."

ONE THOUSAND MORE NEGRO TEACHERS FOR LOUISIANA BATON ROUGE, La., May 1.—The Louisiana department of education is undertaking large constructive work for the school children of the entire state. The plans of Negro school betterment include more schools and longer terms, better prepared teachers, and a thousand more of them, for the coming year. The Department proposes to bear half the expense of thirty-five or forty Summer schools for Colored teachers this season, the remainder to be met by the parish boards. These schools will offer a twelve weeks' course in common school branches, with simple instruction in the art of teaching as applied to the grades, and will be free to all students qualifying for entrance. Students will be of three classes: Present teachers whose work needs grinding up; those who have failed in state examinations but who may pass with three months' coaching; and all applicants over 18 whose preparation will enable them to qualify as teachers after this intensive instruction. Many new schools are projected; and the present waste of school funds through giving one teacher more children than she can do honest work for, is to stop. Schools now having one teacher will have two or three, and the term will be lengthened. A number of parish boards and superintendents have already pledged the plan their hearty support. Negro education in North Carolina has increased the taxable wealth of white farmers of the state as well as of black ones; and Louisiana is getting in line for the same sound and permanent development of her resources. ANNIVERSARY OF THE LANDING OF THE FIRST NEGROES IN AMERICA NEWARK, N. J., May 19—By A. N.

LOUIS, MIS OUH PAGE FOUR THEATRES MASON COMPANY MAKES GOOD AT BOOKER WASHINGTON John Mason's Comedy Company in a Revue, at the Booker Washington Theater this week have a good show filled with syncopated melodies, eccentric comedy and lively dances. Mason is the comedian and a real fun maker. Roy White, who plays opposite Mason, and Miss Blanche Russell, the leading lady, are both talented performers. The supporting company is well trained. The song and dance numbers are all well presented. Among the features are "Pray for Sunshine," by White and the girls; "Mickey," by White and Keith; a song and dance by Mason, White and Miss Russell; "I'll Say She Does," by Mason and White; "After You're Gone," by White; "Alabama Jazbo Band," by Mason, White and Russell; "Mether Dixie," Miss Effie Miles and girls; "Hindustan," Miss Russell and company. The main comedy is found in a burlesque prize fight by Mason and Keith, who plays a good "simp." Clarence Robinson is the promoter. It is a big scream and ends with "Simp" being knocked out. The company consists of ten performers and the work of the entire outfit merits praise. Same Company Next Week. The Mason Company will be seen next week, at the Booker Washington, in "The Railroad Porter," which presents several complicated situations due to the infidelity of a wife. It is a musical farce comedy with several distinct features among which are two song and dance novelties, "Parson Brown" and "Who Do You Love?" by the entire company. This company is making good this week and should repeat its success in next week's presentation. House Cold On Hot Nights. With the Typhoon Cooling System in operation, this theater is always delightfully cool and comfortable. This system not only regulates the temperature but purifies the atmosphere as well. There is no chance for a hot night at the Booker Washington this summer. The "Cyclone Smith" series of ten episodes, featuring Eddie Polo, will start at the Booker Washington Theater Friday, May 16. Tim Moore has returned from a tour of New Zealand, the Hawaiian islands and the Orient. This popular favorite will be seen at the Booker Washington in the near future. The "Tennessee Ten" are at the Rialto and will play the Grand next week. The combination, consists of Leonard Scott, R. Johnson, Horace Eubanks, Thomas Morris, John Warren, Curtis Moseby, J. W. Mobley, Earl Walton, Louise Thomas and Dainty Theresa Burroughs Brooks. "Smarter Set" Coming. "The Smarter Set" Company, headed by Salem Tutt, Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, will be at the Odeon, Grand and Finney, the week of June, presenting a new musical comedy, entitled "Darkest Americans." The play deals with the life at Howard University. Its action centers about the activities and misadventures of Dean Kelly Miller, who, it is said, pursued throughout the entire two acts by a bronze beauty chorus. The play is said to be above the water melon patch, chicken coup variety and has enjoyed good business throughout the season. WORLD'S MOST-MEMORABLE PHOTOPLAY AT THE COMET SUNDAY MAY 11 Patrons of the New Comet Theatre on Sunday, May 11, will witness the biggest and most memorable drama of humanity. It is the "Great Victory," or "The Fall of the Hohenzollern." Not a war picture of aces and incidents, but a dramatic triumph. It compares the simplicity of President Wilcoon's coming to the world with the royal arrival of Humanity's Arch Criminal. It compares the American principle of justice with Hun tyranny and terrorism. It shows the German Empire after a series of triumphs and defeats bowing before Marshal Foch of France, accepting the armistice terms with our American boys presenting the Salute of Honor. Little we need say to those who have seen "To Hell with the Kaiser," because the "The Great Victory," made by the same company and talent, is bigger, grander and more appealing. The price of admission will be 15 and 5 cents, and it affords everybody the opportunity to see this wonder play. One day only—Thursday, May 11. BASEBALL The opening game of the St. Louis Giants, at their new North Broadway Park, Sunday, May 3, was an overflowing success. Every bit of seating capacity was taken and the big crowd stood rows deep along the foul lines. Messrs. Haynes, Harris and Whitler can well be encouraged by the big response, as a successful season is assured. The score: Giants 12, Mexico Grays 10, does not reveal the true light of the exciting contest. It took Mills' team half of the game to get started as the boys had not had the benefit of a single practice game. After they got together, it was all over with the Grays. The boys played a strenuous up-hill game and won on their fighting spirit. This trait will conquer many a hard contest. Scott, the hard-hitting left fielder, lived up to expectancy and came through with a home run which drove in three ahead of him. Wallace, Gatewood, Blackwell, Kennard, Bennett and MacAdoo all rounded into old-time form before the rain stopped the game in the eighth inning. MOVIE THEATRE MOVIE THEATRE The Vitagraph Film Co.

As the beneficiary has been in great need the shag of this charitable drive was "Hare and Glove," therefore, there were no decorations.

The book, by mail, is 35 cents. Rev. E. C. Branch, author. Box 48, Galveston, Texas. (5-9-3) All Louisiana is waking up to the moral and economic gain of better education for Negroes. One straw in the wind is a recent editorial in the St. Landry Clarion, commenting on the fact that the jail of that parish has not a single Negro in it. Explaining the change from the old order of things, when the jail had always "from a half dozen to a half hundred" black inmates the paper save: "St. Landry's Colored population compared with other sections of the South, is head and shoulders above them all. The law'sness once rampant has almost disappeared. The race in St. Landry has dropped out of the criminal class and gone to work to hew for itself a place in the line of industry and enlightenment. Within the past ten or fifteen years the Colored people have progressed wonderfully - in emerging from the toils of illiteracy. Their schools and churches have undoubtedly had much to do with this great change for the better." One aspect of the gain to white people from this educational betterment of the Negro the Clarion gives in a sentence: "The criminal expense of the parish will drop to infinitesimal figures compared with the herefore tremendous drain on finances to enforce the law." 10 "THE SOUL OF MAN" BY PROP. T. BAKER. In order to understand and appreciate this booklet read Romans 8: 6:7; Galatians 5: 19-23; which gives a clear explanation of the carnal or fleshy mind and also the spiritual mind.

This practice is wrong. Thinking put such injustices. We read the signs of the times incorrect, distant when true and loyal Americans rise, will be called upon to determine between the other "-ism." The outbursts of anarchists and assassins in the United States during the past week have brought forth quite a deal of comment from the press of the country. Most of the writers take an optimistic view of the situation by citing that this is America, and that we have in this country such a pure, democracy that there is no chance for anarchism or Bolshevism to make any headway in this country. We believe that the situation is grave. Anarchists, like the lynchers, are a lawless class of people; they never were, nor ever will be good citizens. Like the lynchers and mobs, they are ignorant and void of reasoning. Their practices are a school of outlawry in which they school their women and children. They call good evil and evil good. They are opposed to civilization and its teachings; they make themselves believe that by killing and lynching great reforms will take place. In fact one might take a careful survey of all of their doctrines and you will find they are parallel with that of lynchers and the common mobs of this country: 'Tis a peculiar kind of insanity. This is no time for optimism. America is the fertle soil of outlawry, superinduced by lynchings and burning of human beings at the stake. This government has tolerated lawlessness so long because only the weaker class of its citizens were victims until the very air is pregnated with all kinds of lawlessness. All that is necessary now is for it once to get a start under some appropriate name, and the anarchists and the bolshevists will give America a dose of its own medicine. Departation and Prison. Some speakers and writers have suggested deportation and prison as a sure cure, citing that most of the trouble makers are foreigners and don't think enough of our form of government to become citizens of this country. Of course, we have no cards of regrets to offer because this foreign element are disturbers, bomb throwers, anarchists, I. W. W's, Bolsheviks, plotters, and flaunters of the Red Flag. It may be said to America's shame that all those coming in the above catalogue and hundreds of others who make the many little secret clans whose doctrines are against true Americanism, are taken in the bosom of the American life, given preference in positions of cities, states and the nation over a class of the most loyal and patriotic citizens. This practice is wrong. Thinking people must rise against such injustices. Unless we read the signs of the times incorrectly, the time is not far distant when true and loyal Americans regardless of race or color, will be called upon to determine between Americanism or some other "ism."

The number for each of these nine states is Georgia to 169 for Kentucky. Other national problem has been more voluminous better understood. The diminishing average already made that gives incentive for attack and new methods. How can we urge abroad sound principles on which our social and most, while this reproach to justice and human gratifying to have a great metropolitan the Post-Dispatch point out in detail the people of this nation have treated mob violence editorial was most fittingly and timely preceding a conference on lynchings which is week at New York City under the auspices association for the Advancement of Colored mainly required courage and backbone on theutch to attack this national evil, especially at the white people of America are response. Figures have been compiled showing the operations of mob law in the last 30 years. The only part of the appalling totals to be read without horror is one revealing a decline in the annual average of mob fatalities. In this period, covering practically the arbitrary limit set to a single generation, no less than 3224 fellow residents of America, entitled to the same protection under the law accorded to us, have met their death form the blind, furious rage of mobs. This is an average of more than 107 fatalities a year for the entire period. The annual average of the last five years of the period is a little more than 60. Each year 47 have been spared whose lives might have been forfeited had mobs worked during the past five years with their average ruthlessness of 30 years, but the victims still averaged 60 a year—more than one every week under the ideals professed in a land of equal rights and equal protection. Mob violence is shown to be a fearful evil from which few sections of the Union are immune, but the figures leave no doubt as to where it is most prevalent and where the chief effort must be put forth if it is to be eradicated from our national life. Of the dismaying 3224 total that stares out from the figures, no less than 2440 lynchings took place in the nine states of Georgia, Mississippi, Texas; Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and Kentucky. The number for each of these nine states ranges from 386 for Georgia to 169 for Kentucky. No other national problem has been more voluminously discussed or is better understood. The diminishing averages indicate a progress already made that gives incentive for attacking it with new energy and new methods. How can we urge the adoption of the sound pridicciples on which our social and governing systems rest, while this reproach to justice and humanity remains at home? It is quite gratifying to have a great metropolitan daily newspaper like the Post-Dispatch point out in detail the laxity with which the people of this nation have treated mob violence and lynchings. The above editorial was most fittingly and timely, coming as it did just preceding a conference on lynchings which was held during this week at New York City under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It certainly required courage and backbone on the part of the Post-Dispatch to attack this national evil, especially when we consider that the white people of America are responsible for such conditions. Cornerstone Laying At Central Baptist The corner stone laying at Central Baptist Church last Sunday was quite a delicate affair. An unusually large crowd was present.

Bradbary, Grand Junior Warden, Monroe Ernest, Grand Secretary, Others officiating were Mr. Lovings, E. H. Rice, Chairman; Lillard Fisher and John Anderson. In the tin box which was deposited in the store were a brief history of Central Baptist Church, name of many of its members, grand lodge of Scars, copy of The St. Louis Large, daily papers, bible and hymn book.

In memory of our M. N. G. Grace E. Mulligan, the Queen of the 20th Century H. H. No. 4409, who departed this life May 2, 1918. There is a stream we all must cross, the river of death so cold: When light of earth is seen no more, And the green moss turns to mould. When a hand of ice shall push our bark. Out on the swelling tide; When friends shall leave us alon in the dark— Alone on the waters wide. Missed by officers and inmates. Maggie L. Walker, M. N. G.; Lulu J. Russell, W. R. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear friend, John Malone, who departed this life May 2, 1919. Just a week ago you left us, How we miss you, Johnnie dear! And remember all your windiness, As we drop a silent tear. Rest in peace, thy cares are ended. Rest in peace, thy work is done. You are gone, where those who loved you. Soon are coming, one by one. Sadly missed by Susie McGinty and friends. OBITUARY. Mrs. E. H. Collins, of 2922 Lucas Avenue, returned Tuesday morning after having attended the funeral of her mother, Mrs. Selena J. Howell, of Columbia, Tenn. The deceased was one of the oldest and most beloved citizens of Columbia. She possessed an amable disposition and a love for her family and friends that was steadfast and undeviating. She was as a gentle spirit of light that flitted in and out like a gleam of sunshine. Her loss was deeply mourned as was demonstrated by the sympathy and kindnesses shown by her many friends. Among the many beautiful floral designs given by friends, were those presented by each room and the faculty of the Public school of which M. S. J. Howell, the eldest son, was a teacher. We realize that we strew flowers and wet with tears only the frail casement in which she lived. Over the river she has gone only a little in advance of us. Some one must go first. Perhaps in the ways of a kind providence it is best that it should be she who jes to welcome us on the other shore. She leaves to mourn her loss seven children, eleven grandchildren, one sister and a bevy of friends and other relatives. IN MEMORIAM In memory of my dear husband, James H. Lett, who departed this life, May 1, 1918. One sad year has passed, Since that sad day; One whom I loved was called away. God took him home, It was his will, But in my heart he liveth still. Sadly missed by his wife, Angie Lett. IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dearly beloved husband and son, David B. Johnson, who departed this life May 7, 1918, one year ago. Sleep on, dear one, sleep on. Your spirit is with us. Though you are gone. We are the same at heart As we were before; And expect to meet you On the golden shore. Sadly missed by your wife and mother. Maude Johnson and Margarette Johnson. CARD OF THANKS.

May God grant thee eternal rest. Sadly missed by wife and daughter. FRANKIE MITCHELL, EVA HARRIS, Daughter.

Rev. E. Foster, pastor of St. Don- lassen United Primitive Baptist Church, which is located at 2013 Lacedee, spending the week at Childs Ili- where he is also pastor of St. Thomas, United Primitive Baptist Church, located at 2301 West Lake St. of that city. Rev. Foster has just finished paying for their church property at 2918 Laciede, which is more than three years before the time in which it was due and this has been accomplished by the untiring efforts of Rev. Foster, who has labored unsuccessfully during the past two years. When he undertook the task of buying the property where they are at present located, the church membership was very small, but the faithful few by their devotion succeeded in increasing their numbers, until they now have creditable membership. Rev. Foster, through his great work, has won a warm place in the hearts of not only the membership of his church, but the people and fellow ministers of this city. Rev. Green Thompson, pastor of St. Mark Unified Primitive Baptist Church Springhill, Tennessee, and also pastor of St. Eli United Primitive Baptist 1920 Church, of Nashville, Tenn., spent a few days in St. Louis this week, assisting Rev Foster in their three days union meeting which is an ancient custom of their church at which time foot-washing and communion are the futures of their services.
