The following letter is self-explanatory. St. Paul, Minn., March 20, 1917. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, New York City Dear Dr. DuBois: The colored people of the United States are passing through one of the most dangerous periods of their existence. Surrounded by foes without, some of whom come as wolves in sheep's clothing, pretending to be friends, the most subtle enemy is the foe within, the creatures who are willing to compromise with the outer enemy and barter away the rights of American citizenship. There is no need to write a long statement of the many dangers which beset the colored American, as the conditions are well-known to every thinking man. In order to do in a humble way what I can to change conditions I am sending $5.00 to the nucleus of a fund which I trust the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will endeavor to raise for the purpose of fighting any jim-crow army legislation which may bob up in the congress which convenes April 2. Bills for a segregated West Point and other pernicious measures will no doubt be introduced. Such infamous legislation should be fought to a finish and the N. A. A. C. P. is the organization to do the work. The money sent is to be used as directed and for no other purpose whatever. Those who desire to aid this work should forward their contributions to the fund, direct to the National Association for the Advancement, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. —J. G. Holland. THE MOST LOYAL GROUP. The colored people of Chicago had a patriotic rally recently. There were more than 5,000 persons in attendance at the main meeting and the overflow meetings. Strong resolutions were passed, in which they referred to themselves as "the colored citizens of Chicago," and declared that notwithstanding the fact that they were not treated as other American citizens and deprived of many of their rights of citizenship, they would not hesitate to give their lives for their country. That's loyalty and patriotism, greater than evinced by any other American group, because no other class is denied the rights of citizenship. The few Chicago papers who gave meager accounts of the meeting referred to the participants as "negroos" and did not print one line of the resolutions. OPPOSES JEWISH REGIMENT. Dr. E. G. Hirsch of Chicago, is one of the most learned Hebrews in the world and he is quicker to see the dangers of segregation than some of his co-religionists. In a recent interview he said: Scenes from THE MARITIME MILITARY OF THE UNITED STATES WITH A MARITIME MILITARY OF THE UNITED STATES WITH A MARITIME MILITARY OF THE UNITED STATES "The idea of raising a Jewish regiment, which you say they plan to do in New York, seems to me utterly absurd," declared Dr. Emil G. Hirsch today, with reference to a report that Samuel Untermyer and other Jewish financiers of New York had pledged themselves to do everything within their means to recruit and outfit a Jewish regiment. "If Jews want to join the army, let them do so. But why organize a special Jewish regiment? You don't hear of any one's organizing a Catholic regiment, do you? The idea is ridiculous, and Jews who promote such things only add to the impression that the Jews are clannish." RUSSIA AHEAD OF UNITED STATES. their land has been despoiled, many of their women ravished, and many of their men reduced to practical slavery, have not been broken in spirit. Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium, in his Lenten pastoral letter, although in danger of his life, did not hesitate to pay a glowing tribute to the courage and devotion of the Belgian people in their fight for liberty. He did not, as many of the colored churchmen do, tell his people that "it is the will of the Lord that we should be oppressed and a lot of rot like that, but lauded their loyalty to their country and praised their retention of self-respect under oppression. Under the heading, "The Moral Grandeur of the Nation," Cardinal Mercier says. "Brethren of our armies of Luxor part of our enemies to nullify the effect they were expected to have and its subsequent good. Since these efforts at restriction began, they have grown and multiplied rapidly and much of it has been due to our refusal to fight the issues raised with all our resources, before they became operative. In the South disfranchising constitutions have come, separate or "jim-crow" railroad and street cars, "peanut" galleries in theaters for our men and women, separate bars in saloons, "jim-crow" city parks, swimming pools, schools, "jim-crowism" in dental offices, churches, Y.

G. Holland. The Jews of America have done many things to aid in the firm, establishment of race hatred against the colored people of this country. One of the latest instances in the decision of a Jewish judge (at least we are so informed that he is a Jew, and if not, he is certainly un-American), Judge Joseph David of the superior court of Cook county, Illinois, who rules that "The Birth of a Nation" may be shown to minors in Chicago. Judge Joseph David in the superior court so ruled today when he granted the petition of the Epoch Producing company for a writ of mandatus compelling the city to issue a permit for the exhibition of the picture to old and young. The city's defense was that the picture was immoral and would arouse race prejudice in the minds of the children. MORAL GRANDEUR Would that the cursed colored cowards who cringe and cower and grin and give up their liberties could read in Caesar's Commentaries on the Gaelic war of the brave "Belgae," and then come down to modern times and ponder over the valor and courage of the Belgian people of today, who, although in "The Trooper of Tr their land has been despoiled, many of their women ravished, and many of their men reduced to practical slavery, have not been broken in spirit. Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium, in his Lenten pastoral letter, although in danger of his life, did not hesitate to pay a glowing tribute to the courage and devotion of the Belgian people in their fight for liberty. He did not, as many of the colored churchmen do, tell his people that "it is the will of the Lord that we should be oppressed and a lot of rot like that, but lauded their loyalty to their country and praised their retention of self-respect under oppression. Under the heading, "The Moral Grandeur of the Nation," Cardinal Mercier says "Brethren of our armies of Liege, Haelen, Antwerp, the Yser and Ypres, the Kameruns and East Africa, it is you who are our foremost purveyors of energy. "Our good wishes follow in the wake who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be hearts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or of these valiant men; all form a guard of honor, proud and faithful, for our magnanimous sovereign, who from a bankbank, which now is all of his kingdom, gives to Belgium, and to the whole world a perfect example of endurance and of faith in the future. "We have listened to the mighty voices of wives and mothers; through their tears they have prayed God to sustain their courage and fidelity to the honor of their husbands and sons carried off by force to the enemy's factories. These gallant men have been heard at the hour of departure rallying their energy to instil courage into their comrades, or by a supreme effort to chant the national hymn. We have seen some of them on their return, pale, haggard, human wrecks; as our tearful eyes sought their dim eyes we bowed reverently before them, for all unconsciously they were revealing to us a new and unexpected aspect of national heroism. After this can it be necessary to preach courage to you?" Of course money is a matter of little moment to so grand a man as Cardinal Mercier, but it is pleasing to note that the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences yesterday awarded to Cardinal Mercier, private of Belgium, its grand prize of 15,000 francs ($3,000), destined to recompense "the finest and greatest acts of devotion of whatever kind" FAILURE TO FIGHT COSTLY. That strong defender of true Americanism, the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a man of whom all Americans may well be proud, printed an editorial in a recent issue which is so accurate an exposition of the costly blunder the colored people have made in failing to fight for their rights that we reproduce it. We trust that every reader will read it carefully and ponder over the truths expressed. "It has not been so very many years since the adoption of the war amendments to the Constitution and the beginning of a systematic effort on the oop K" at Pilgrim B part of our enemies to nullify the effect they were expected to have and its subsequent good. Since these efforts at restriction began, they have grown and multiplied rapidly and much of it has been due to our refusal to fight the issues raised with all our resources, before they became operative. In the South disfranchising constitutions have come, separate or "jim-crow" railroad and street cars, "peanut" galleries in theaters for our men and women, separate bars in saloons, "jim-crow" city parks, swimming pools, schools, "jim-crowism" in dental offices, churches, Y. M. C. A.'s, etc. Indeed, there is apparently a desire for a segregation of the races in Heaven, if some of them ever get there. These things have all crept upon us since emancipation and the elevation to a citizenship supposed to be equal to that of all other Americans. We have lost ground, South and North, because we have not fought, and when we have resisted, have lacked leadership, while other supposed leaders have played into the hands of our enemies. As a race, we have been burlesqued, abused and humiliated by the thoughtless (some, by those hostile to our interests, simply because there was lacking proper resentment on our part and a determination to take a stand for our rights with all the power at our command. The world loves a MAN, a fighter! on who thinks as much of himself as any other like creature on earth. To such aggressive MEN, unjust restrictions will in the end yield and break down, because they will ever refuse to recognize them. In cases of luxuries of life such MEN will not accept the limitations though they greatly desire them and have the price demanded. In the case of necessities, they will fight restrictions and limit, as far as is within their power, the demand for them. A MAN CAN BE FREE IN A FREE COUNTRY ONLY WHEN HE RETAINS THE RESPECT OF HIS FELLOW CITIZENS TO THE EXTEN HE RECEIVES THE SAME TREATMENT FROM THEM THEY EXPECT FROM HIM!" ALL AMERICAN REGIMENTS. A recent issue of the Chicago Evening Post, one of the leading papers of the country, contained the following editorial: All American Regiments. Men who are or who have assumed to be spokesmen for the different "original nationalities" which go to make up our American life have offered to raise regiments composed entirely of volunteers of German-Americans, Swedish-Americans, Irish-Americans, or of some other kind of Americans to serve this country in time of need. This is all very well as showing a proper spirit of willingness to defend the country, but the good of the future of the land demands that regiments be composed of men of all origins. What the United States wants to get rid of is the Americanism which has some other kind of an ism coupled with it. It will make for real Americanism if into all the regiments which, unhappily, may have to be raised there shall enter all the elements of American life. There is no melting pot like the army camp kettle; and there is no democracy like that of the dog tent. Soldiers in the field get to know one another. Their aims are the same and their life becomes the same. They carry back home the democracy and the comradeship which they learned to understand and to love in the field. We never will get rid of hyphenated Americanism if we have hyphenated regiments in the service. Men of English, Irish, German, Swedish, Scotch or any other extraction should serve together when the cause is that of the country which they have made their own. We have reprinted the entire article because we believe that every word of it is true. All good American citizens should join in the effort to break down the color line which at present confines colored soldiers to four ser- otist Church regated regiments, which are a relic of the Civil war. Now that war is really here, colored patriots are ready and anxious to become defenders of their country. They should be allowed to enlist anywhere and at any time in any regiment of the United States army. They have proved their loyalty and valor from Bunker Hill to Carrizal. Cut out the color line in the army. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. THE WAR NOT IN VAIN. If the revolution in Russia means that the Jews and other subject races will be given full citizenship and that the pale will be abolished, then the bloody European war has not been in vain. The new government has given this pledge and the Jewish people and the Poles and other peoples who have felt the iron heel of Russian tyranny are rejoicing. Whether the action will be sustained by the Russian masses is an open question, but the chances are that it will be approved as the masses of all the various races have been comparatively friendly in their dealings with each other when uninfluenced by government coercion. The great danger is that the present government may be overthrown by the return of the Romanoffs or the reactionaries to power. The pogroms or massacres of the Jews were invariably arranged either by the government or the Greek church authorities. Let us hope that there will never be a reversion to government by terrorism. The Illinois House of Representatives has passed a bill prohibiting the showing in the state of motion pictures showing lynchings or which tend to excite race prejudice. It was introduced by a colored representative, Robert R. Jackson of Chicago. It would prohibit the showing of such pictures as "The Birth of a Nation."

Madame Wilson is an artist in her line and puts workmanship, quality and style in her creations for the most reasonable prices. She also has a splendid line of hair goods and excerpts as a hair dresser. Nu Bone excels it fitted to any figure.

"THE CABARET GIRLS." The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre. Life, laughter, music and songs, also good fellowship and its corollaries are the attributes of the regular season, and in keeping with this idea, Manager Kirk announces the coming of the laughing festival of the current theatrical year, "The Cabaret Girls," as his attraction for week of April 8th, and a lively week's business is anticipated. Two rollicking, snappy burlesques and a strong vaudeville olo are presented and is so arranged as give plenty of variety to the entertainment. The Cabaret Girls" have one of the most entertaining comedians on the burlesque stage, and has a style all his own but competent critics have halted him as another Louis Mann. And with our old friends Mike J. Kelly, Joe Rose, Claude Lightner, Anna Rose, Florence Shirley, Dot Barnette and many others, also the girls are as sweet and seductive as tights and powders can make them. Tel.
