EL PASO, Tex. June 18.—The 24th Infantry, Colored, together with cavalry and artillery, crossed into Mexico on Sunday night and pursued the Villista band about 30 miles before being ordered back on American soil. The American soldiers clashed with Villa's—seen early Monday morning and more than a score of the outlaws felt victims of shrapnel bullets! A battalion of the Twenty-fourth was the first to cross the border. They opened up with a terrific rifle fire on the trenches flanking the Juarez race track. They advanced in open order and succeeded in dislodging the Villa forces who held the strongest position. The Villistas were routed and driven into the hills. Two of the Colored soldiers were wounded. This is the second time that Colored soldiers have been sent into Mexico after Villa. The famous Tenth, Cavalry, in 1819 made a surprise attack to rescue a colony of Morrums, was trapped at Carranal and a general massacre followed. ISAAC FISHER AT THE Y.M.C.A.

Gaskins without fear, lectured here and in many of the Eastern states on the "Alarm of war," and fearlessly predicted the crumbling of the nations of Europe, and downfall of the Ottoman Empire from a prophetic point of view.

June 18—Not all the accolades of the Southern whites come from this side, and not all from the North. A news agency in Atlanta sent out a story to the papers of Georgia which made one of our women say: "If the Germans had won the war, our women would have been ladies instead of servants." Doubting that any one except the writer said the thing. The Cordelee Dispatch, white, says, the "white man who paraded that used very poor judgment." The paper says: "The news item out of Atlanta can do nothing but imbiter those who are willing to say it any attention. That is a thing no newspaper man ought to encourage. Instead of stirring race hatred, those who write for the reading public ought to have at heart a degree to help the best element of the Negroes keep down trouble. The Negro is far from the spirit intended in the words that were put in the woman's mouth. It is regrettable that such a thing was ever and much more protracted that it was published. There is a small mean element of whites in the South that makes the Negro do and say things that are not only foreign to his thought, but likewise foreign to his being, and this is a notable instance where it was too much for one of the conscientious white Southerners. COLORED WOMAN IS APPOINTED ON NEBRASKA BOARD COLORED WOMAN IS APPOINTED ON NEBRASKA BOARD by Associated Negro Press. OMAHA, Neb., June 18—Three members, a majority of the public welfare board, protecting against the appointment of a Negro woman as a member of the board to succeed Frank A. Kennedy, state labor commission upon the grounds that did not deserve possible to find a Negro woman fitted to the position, and that such an appointment would not be for the best interests of the Negro citizens, were over ruled by Mayor Smith and the appointment made. Mrs. Julia Hudlin, a widow, and former W. Y. C. A. worker in Chili, will be visiting the position upon the recommendation of the leading Negro citizens. NEW. ORLBANS, La. June 18.—The Association of Commerce of this city has appointed a committee to "persuade" the Nero laborers to work on farms, where there is a great shortage of workers. The first thing the committee did was to hold a conference with the Mayor, Commissioner and Superintendent of Police. This is one of the methods mirrored in the South when it is determined to "persuade." AMERICAN PROPAGANDA IS STILL CAUSING TROUBLE FOR AFRICAN VETERAN BY Associated Negro Press LONDON, LONDON, Jun 18—More than 2000 Colored Britishers from South Africa, veterans of the World War, resented the interference of their city rights and working conditions in Liverpool. Great mobs of whites have for some weeks have been intertering in one way and another with those brave men from the distant continent. There is small truth to the daily newspaper stories that the troubles was caused by the interference of the African Britishers with white women in this section. Everything went along, almost, until propaganda, started by Southern American whites in their spreads, attempt to strg up strife, was spread in various sections. On every occasion the South Afri can veterans have resisted this, suit, and this is probably not the cid, if not let alone. Dr. Elly Turner, the chiropody surgeon of Chicago, IL, is in the city for two weeks and white here will treat his former patient. Appointments made by phone. Call Lindell 3029 I or Lindell 1316.

A charge of race discrimination against the United States Railroad Administration is contained in a letter sent to Walker D. Hines, director general, by the National Association' for the Advancement of Colored People. The letter protests against a rule, originally put in force by the Southern railroads and continued during government ownership, prohibiting the sale of prepaid railway tickets to be sent to persons in the South desiring to come North. The letter to Mr. Hines is as follows: In reply to a communiqué which we addressed to you calling attention to the refusal of a clerk in the United States Railway ticket office at Cleveland, Ohio, to sell a prepaid order for Director General against such practice on the ground that it was encouraging Colored labor to come North. Mr. Edward C. Niles of your office forwarded us copy of a letter sent to Senator Warren C. Harding in this connection. The position which the Railway Administration is by the southern railroad on the movement of Colored labor from the South to the North. It is true that the ruling is of general application, but the effect of it is discriminatory. We protest against the ruling and ask you to rescind it at once. To continue it in effect is to make yourself and the United States Railway Administration responsible for discrimination against Colored labor. Associated Negro Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. June 13.

NO RACE RIOT AT WORK HOUSE Daily Newspaper Reports Of Trouble June I2 Are False And Misleading. White Man Throws A Bomb Into Crowd Of Negroes, Wounding Thirteen. Whites Make Break For Liberty, Are Fired On By Guard. One White Man Hit. No Negroes Shot. PRISONERS PLANNED GET-AWAY Several Dynamite Bombs Found "Planted" By Men To Use In Blowing Up Place, Making A Wholesale Escape. Plotters Sent To Jail. COLORED SOLDIERS A REMODELING ADVISED TO KEEP RALLY BY OLIVETTE THEIR INSURANCE BAPTIST CHURCH Daily newspaper reports of a "Race Riot" at the City Workhouse, Thursday, June 12, were found, upon investigation, by an Argus reporter, to be false and misleading. One morning paper had this to say of the affair, in part: "Six Negroes and a white man, all prisoners in the City Workhouse, were shot, and five other Negroes and a Mexican were gut and brushed when a race slot broke out in the Workhouse quarry, 4200 South Broadway, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Negroes were seriously injured by the explosion of nitrolycerin, which was hurled at them in bottles by the white prisoners. The prisoners, who were shot were fired on by the guards in an effort to stop the fight. One hundred and sixty-five men were engaged in the battle, seventy-five of them being white men. The riot started when one of the white men threw a bottle containing nitrolycerin near where the Negroes were working. This was followed by two other deafening explosions." "Headed by H. N. Morgan, superintendent of the Workhouse, sixteen guards, who were armed with revolvers, shotguns and rifles, fired ten revolvers in the fighting of men." "Every implement, from picks and boots to sledgehammers, were used by the two fighting parties. Those having no implements or tools gathered rocks and threw them at their adversaries." The Truth About the Troubles. An investigation, by The Argus reporter, brought out the truth about the trouble. There was no riot. The Negroes and the whites work together and get along generally very well. There had been, however, some ill feeling on the part of the whites against the Negroes and the whites performing a personal throwing, which seems to be a dangerous pastime among the prisoners. This was purely a personal matter and did not involve the mass of prisoners. On the day the trouble occurred, a WASHINGTON, B. I. J. June 18. As a result of his keen insight and ability to convince "the powers that be" in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, that there is an immediate need for intelligent and efficient cooperation of: Colored men with respect to the rotation of Union Sam's insurance by the discharged Negro soldiers and sailors entering into civil Mt. J. Clifford, formerly of the Buffalo Resident, and son of Hon W. H. and Mrs. Carrie W. has been appointed Special Assistant in the Consultation Section of that bureau. Lieut. Clifford estimated that, of the approximate 400,000 Negro soldiers recently serving the colors, 35 per cent. carried policies averaging $7,500, making about $2,500,000 worth of insurance. This represents the greatest financial asset the race ever had, and Lieut. Clifford realizes the economic power and strength of such a huge sum is to go pro soldiers and soldiers that, they will hold on to as much of their insurance as it may be possible for them to carry. The United States government is offering this insurance at lower rates than any other insurance company in the world, and it is the safest and strongest insurance obtainable because it is backed up by the Treasury department of the United States government. At any time within five years after the signing of Peace, this own insurance can be converted in to any one of six kinds of insurance usually carried by other companies. Straight life, twenty-payment life, twenty-year endowment, thirty-year endowment and maturity at the age of sixty two, compose the various kinds of policies issued by the Government. Desirable as it may seem, Liott Clifford's investigation showed that all of the Col. Wood medallion, one of all the Col. Wood medallion, allowed their premature to lapse and have failed to take advantage of the solitude opportunity to hold on to ALL SOULS CHURCH, of the First Spiritual Association of Missouri, 4412 West Belle Place.

One Negroes Shot. NNED GET-AWAY Us Found "Planted" By ing Up Place, Making A Plotters Sent To Jail. white man threw, a dynamite, bomb, of the tomato can variety, into a crowd of Negroes, wounding thirteen, none seriously. No Negroes Shot. This seemed to be to be the signal for a wholesale get-away, and about 75 white prisoners made a break to escape from the premises. The guard on the scene fired one shot into the crowd of white men attempting to escape one man was hit in the shoulder and the other was killed. Only the one shot was fired, not at the Negroes, and no Negro was injured. There was no fighting between the white and Colored. Planned Wholesale Get-Away. A thorough investigation by the workhouse officials revealed the fact that the prisoners had planned a wholesale get-away. Dynamite pombs were found "planted" in several places. The prisoners had been able to make these by hiding bits of dynamite that could explode in blasting. Some of the tomatoes of the tomato can type, but several were powerful gas pipe variety. It had evidently been planned to blow up the place and, in the confusion, all would break for liberty. Director of Public Welfare Schmoll told the reporter that the workhouse is being loaded with a class of criminals for which it was never intended. They have been charged with offenses which would have sent them to the penitentiary except that they pleaded guilty and got off with lighter sentences. They are, as a rule, hardened criminals, and are demoralizing the patrons. No one is sent there for punishment. Several were transferred to the City Jail, Tuesday, where they will serve out the remainder of their sentences. The only apparent differences between the white and Colored at the Workhouse is, that the white prisoners claim Colonel Morgan, the superintendent, is partial to the Colored men, under his charge, and grants, them more favors than the whites.

Stunning books by Rev. S. M. Erykina. Rev. Thomas selected the 14th chap of Mark. This verse for a text, which was enjoyed by everyone, Sister China Lee Harris is on the sick list. We all feel it our indispensable duty to visit the sick. Rev P. R. Royer pastor; Mrs. M. B. Burton, reporter. The pastor selected for his text from Gen. 11 Chap. 17 Sunday morning: "And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Harar out of heaven and said unto her: What ally thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God bath heard the voice of the lad where he is." Subject, "The strength of weakness." In telling the story of Hagar, the unfortunate Egyptian maid who was so cruel wronged and unjustly treated by Abraham and Sard. The pastor placed the blame where it belonged. He pictured Hagar a slave, unprotected, a victim of Abraham's last, sorely afflicted and persecuted by Sara; he flight with her desplaced infant, Ishmael in her arms; and at last in utter despair she placed her baby behind the sage bush in the desert and, abandoned her body to die. But the hour had not come God heard the voice of the lad and decreed that out from his looms should come a great nation. History is repeating itself today. As Abraham sought to get rid of his sin by banishing Hagar and her illegitimate child, America is attempting to get rid of the Negro by depriving him of his right, but God still lives. Fifteen million Blacks are behind the sage brush pleading for justice. In His own time and in His own way, God will bear and deliver us. At eight o'clock, the message was chosen from St. Matt. 13 chap. 30 v. Theme: "Christ's method in dealing with moral conditions."

Subscription Rate $1:50 One Year a WRG a THEATRES BOOKER WASHINGTON PARTONS LIKE 20TH CENTURY PLAYERS Brown and Hardstack with the 20th Century Players opened a two weeks' engagement, at the Booker Washington Theatre Monday night in a musical comedy. The company is making a hit with several of their numbers, winning popular enchors frequently. There are ten performers. The comedy circulates around the old themes of a couple of tramp imposters getting in on an entertainment before the real and expected guests arrive. Pugh and Tillman are the bogus visitors and have a royal time until Boone and Lawson, the "Golf Brothers," arrive late. There is plenty of comedy in the complications. There are a number of good specialty numbers. Boogie and Washington open with a good singing repertoire: Washington has an excellent baritone voice. "Hardback" Jackson almost stops the show with an eccentric song and dance. Song numbers, by Messrs. Pugh and Tollman, and Misses Bessie Whitman and Edmona Hudson are all good and draw applause. Others in the company are Miss Louise Jackson and Miss Bertha Pugh. There is a riot of dancing of the eccentric variety and the production, as a whole, is up to the average. Comedy Drama Next Week The 20th Century Players will present a comedy-drama, entitled "The Curse of Drink" at the Booker Washington Theatre next week. The play is really of the melo-drama order, but has enough comedy and music 21 temper, its seriousness. D. W. GRIFFITH'S PRODUCTION "A Romance of Happy Valley," at the Comet. An especially selected photoplay program has been arranged for the patrons of the Comet Theatre for the week starting Sunday. June 22. W. S.

Thursday, Nazimova in "Toys of Fate." Saturday. By the way just to remind you, the Comet is the coolest and only wide open theatre on Market street. "ELMQ THE MIGHTY" AT THE B. W. SATURDAY Elmo Lincoln, the wonderful star of "Tartan of the Apei," will be seen in his first serial "Elmo the Mighty" at the Booker Washington Theatre, beginning this Saturday, June 21. The serial, which is to be released by Universal, deals with the efforts of a forest ranger Capt.

The management wishes to announce that in booking attractions and more so visiting clubs, that the general baseball fans know as much about the clubs as they do. There are only a few Colored clubs in these United States that are reliable and can be depended upon to have what they represent. So when you see a visiting club, and they have misrepresented themselves, it is no fault of the management, as we are trying to give you the beat there is. Would you go to the Browns Park or Cardinal Field and KNOCK the home club? No, I will tell you no. Why? But you will try to kill a Negro enterprise at the least little fault, and you are the first one to holler, we have, no place, to 'go. Again why? Instead of making places you kill them. "Some Class." I want to thank the fans that have bravely stood by us; your spirit has been the cause of our success. Your spirit has been the cause of the owners trying to make an amusement place for our people to go, many thanks to you. Take that little hammer and bury it. Grab a horn and do a little blowing. It all helps. You can not tell when something will fall at your own door. Funny old world. Pal. All we ask is a fair chance. St. Louis Giants' B. B. Ass'n' Chas. A. Mills, Mgr.

EXPLANATION To my many friends who have been asking, Why it is I gave up my pastoral charge at the First Free Baptist Church. It was for this reason: On account of the church having become divided, and my leadership was not regarded any longer, as it seemed that after I had built the foundation for them, that they wanted someone else. I gave them the privilege by getting down and out of the way. I think it was for the best, so you may look for me in the near future, as I will be guided by the Holy Spirit to do whatever the Master wants me to do for this cause. MARRIAGE LICENSES Dan W.

There are three classes of criminals mentioned against which the Attorney General expects to direct his fight. And, of course, it is expected that he is going to direct his best efforts against the class of criminals that have the largest following. It has been stated, and it is generally accepted as true, that there are a few anarchists in this country, and still less number of bomb-throwers with which to deal. But the "enemies of the law" the last named class of criminals, that innumerable host of lynchers, those legions of law defenders who are breeding contempt for law and order every day, that class of criminals is the one that should receive the sincere attention of the Attorney General. Every man woman and child who has taken part in a lynching, or who in any way aided or abetted such lynching are enemies of the law and should be dealt with as such. It will be remembered that the five hundred thousand dollars asked for in a special appropriation makes in round numbers two million dollars that the Attorney General has asked for his bureau of investigations. Just think what a large sum of money is being asked for. Just think of what power the government has when in earnest about a matter. If the Attorney General has the power to go into New York and Pennsylvania to hunt down bombers, surely he has the same right and power to go into Texas and Georgia and hunt down lynchers. In further support of his request for this large, large amount of money, to be put at his disposal, the Attorney General says. "It is necessary in order that there may be ample means for protecting the public and enforcing the laws of the United States." Since the bomb scare has awakened high government officials to the fact that we need better law enforcement in the land, may we hope that the Attorney General shall have enough courage and backbone to go to the Root of the matter.

The success of the effort at the present time, cannot be determined. But, if the success of movement is to be determined by the importance of such a campaign, then there is no doubt about the outcome. The Association is well organized, thoroughly tested and in operation. The scope and nature of its work is of such that no one who believes in justice and fair play for all citizens alike, could take any exceptions to its mission. Where there is Union there is strength. Somehow numbers, especially if large, can pave the way over which the goal of any movement may be reached. Ten thousand members for the local branch is not asking too much of the people of St. Louis.

The world languishes and fades away. The haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under inhabitants there, because they have trenraged the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting command. I also wish to say that the Anglo Saxon of the South are guilty and responsible for lynching, burning and torturing their own blood and flesh. It is a fact that millions of unborn babies are marked with human murdered blood. There was a time when white stood for purity, but no more. The Negro has no one to go to now but God. Yes, God is his only superior. After all of this evil here, some Negro traitors with white men from the South, betraying their own brother to go back South to be made a slave. We are sorry God failed to send the Dove of Peace to hover over the Peace Conference table. God takes no part in the old master.

WILKINSON. Mr. Allan W. Wilkinson, one of St. Louis' best known Colored men, has just recently leased a two-story business building on Finney avenue, near Pendleton. The building contains four stores on the first floor and the second story is occupied by tenants. One of the store rooms is used by Mr. Wilkinson with an up-to-date barber shop and pool room. He has also taken over the bakery at 4256 Finney and redecorated the place, giving it an artistic finish in white enamel. An ice cream parlor has been installed with modern fixtures. Mr. Wilkinson has the distinction of being the only man, of the race, in the bakery business in St. Louis. All the baking is done on the premises and every delicacy in the bakery line is to be had. Mr. Wilkinson also says he has arranged to handle the best ice cream made in St. Louis, and promises his patrons a service that can not be excelled. Mr. Wilkinson has been more or less identified with business in St. Louis for nearly two score of years. He was the first Colored man to be appointed as a police officer and served in that capacity 11 years. He is one of the few Colored men who is a member of the Missouri Billiard Association. MRS.TILLIE GRIFFIN DT. RULER OF ELKS IS COMMENDED Mrs. Tille Griffin, of the 233 Pine St., the present Dt. Ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. deserves commendation for her very excellent work in this grand and noble order and for the energy put forth by her during the last five years. After the fall of said order in 1913, Mrs. Tille Griffin, present Dt. Ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., with five daughters, viz: Jalta Price, A. B. Adams, Anna Watson, Norclass Ashlock and Tille Griffin, with out one penny of finance reorganized this order. That today is one of the leading orders of our people in America, with a bank account of $496.55 in the Female Department and free from any indebtedness, with 201 financial members, 76 delinquent ones. The Lord has wonderfully blessed Mrs. Tille Griffin and said order. The band of the great monster, death, has only been laid on seven members of said lodge during the continuation of 5 years. Dt. Griffin is trying to unite our women from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Her chief aim is to lift as she climbs. I (O. L. Simmons) voice the sentiments of White Temple No. 19 by saying to the public that words are inadequate, language fails us to express our gratitude to our Dt. Ruler, Tillie Griffin for her ardent father and energy put forth to make White Temple No. 19 what it is today, with a juvenile of 98 children. In 1917 organized Washington Lodge No. 8 for the Elk Brothers. Reorganized Polar Wave Temple No. 1 for the ladies. Reinstated Polar Wave Lodge No. 112. I. B. P. O. E. of W. for the brothers. Mrs Tillie Griffin, the Present Daughter Ruler of White Temple No. 19. I. B. P. O. E. of W. in 1915, with the assistance of our Grand Secretary, E. V. Kelley and five other Daughters received this grand order. Since that time one has gone from labor to reward in Heaven in person of Norciss Ashlock, while the others are alive and are active members today. I wish to instil in the minds of every person reading this article that this order is the only order in Missouri and its jurisdiction, giving $5 per week slick dues to females. "This order stands for fallen Humanity, no matter how far from the light they have strayed no matter what inroad dishonor has made, no matter what element cankered the pearls, though guilty, and loathsome; they are some mothers' girls." From the reviving of sold order in 1913 to the present time, 1919. Dt. Griffin has missed only two meetings, due to her illness. With three meetings per month this is a wonderful record, long to be remembered and never forgotten. She will stand as a monument in the minds of those who shall follow after she has departed his life and gone to live with God and Angels. Dt. Ruler Tillie Griffin is now possessed with said honors, in Past Local and District Dept. Past State Dept, of I. B. P. E. O. of W. Past M. N. G. of the H. H. of Ruth. M. 3411 Rec. Sec.

U. of Pleasant Green Baptist treasurer of the Council of N. D. of C. W. U. Mrs. Griffin in her humble way is trying to raise the fallen and cheer the respondent, thought the way is seemingly obscure. If at first she does not succeed she is ever willing and ready to try, try again, until at last sand masters are set for her, and mountains in her way. If Jesus will her leader be she will overcome some day. May the God of Heaven throw around her his strong arm of protection, and keep her unify the perfect day. She takes, not credit to herself for this marvelous work, the honor does not belong to her; it belongs to God, who gave our forefathers, before many of us were-born. May peace, happiness and prosperity attend her way. Written by Dt. O. L. Simmons, member White Temple No. 19. St. Louis, Mo.

Hedgeman, Sec. Treasurer BLOCK PARTY A SUCCESS. The Block Party given Saturday night, by the Samaritan Neighborhood Club in the 4200 West Block Cote Brilliant was a success and considered a unique affair by all who attended. The Samaritan Neighborhood Club composed of Medames Bowler, Bridges, Bush. Cheyney, Dreer, Evans, Gordon: Herrlot, Hurt, Pinkett, Reynaud, Riddle and Thomas, grew out of a desire to enable destitute children to take advantage of educational opportunities by supplying clothing or anything else possible so that they need not remain out of school or Sunday School because of the lack of suitable clothing. Up to the present time the ladies have utilized old clothing, donated by kind friends, which have been made over into many useful little garments and the need they have filled has encouraged them to further endeavor. They thought, therefore, to establish a treasury with which to purchase things which could not be made by the club, and to do so, a block party was planned—which proved so successful that a repetition of it is being considered. We wish to thank the public for their generous support, also Mrs L. Slaughter Wilson, Mr. Joseph Velar, the Boosters, and the other kind friends who so kindly contributed. A financial report of the Block Party will be submitted through the papers next week. The East India Hair Grower Will Free A Fall Growth of Hair We Also Restore The Kennedy Sh.
