IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 26 WASHINGTON, I D. C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1914 SEGREGATION DENQUINCED COLORED AMERICANS ASSERT THEIR INDEPENDENCE TWO THOUSAND PROTEST Massachusetts Editor Tells His Story —Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter Received An Ovation at Church and Was Applauded for Five Minutes—He makes a Great Defense. Fully two thousand or more colored citizens assembled in the Second Baptist Church last. Sunday afternoon to listen to the report of the National Equal Rights League. Long before the time for the meeting to open every available space in this great edifice was filled. Seated upon the platform were: Attorney Thomas Walker, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., Rev. Randall, Rev. Rivers, Rev. J. M. Waldron, Judge E. M. Hewlett, Mr. Maurice Spencer, Mr. F. M. Murray, Mr. W. Calvin Chase, and others. The meeting was called to order by Attorney Thomas Walker, and he introduced Rev. Johnson, who offered a fervent prayer. After which Attorney Walker in a concise and logical manner stated the object of the meeting and the mission of the National Equal Rights League. He was calm and pointed and at his conclusion he introduced Morris F. Murray, the secretary, who prefaced the reading of several telegrams with an eloquent and pointed address. He then read several telegrams from distinguished men, one in particular from Mr. Wm. A. Sinclair as follows: Telegram to the President. November 11, 1914. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C. Honored Sir: Unavoidable circumstances make it impracticable for me to join the delegation as Field Secretary of the Constitution League of the United States who are to present a memorial to you on Thursday, the 12th inst., invoking your intervention against the segregation of government employees at Washington or elsewhere on the ground, of race or color. I respectfully submit that such segregation violates the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, forces hardships and degradations on colored employees, undermines civilization, is subversive of American institutions, contravenes every principle of righteousness and justice and is a shameful reproach to our Christian religion. Segregation represents not the ideals of freedom, but the ideals of slavery. We pray that you as the Christian President of this free and Christian Nation will use your great powers, which are more than amply sufficient to remove this foul blot from our civilization. (Signed) WM. A. SINCLAIR, Field Secretary Constitution League. Field Secretary Constitution League This telegram was sent to President Wilson and also to the secretary of the meeting. It was loudly applauded. The first speaker introduced was Mr. Spencer, who stated briefly what he said to the President. He was followed by Judge Hewlett, who prefaced the reading of an editorial from the New York World with a most pointed address. During the reading of the editorial, which will be seen elsewhere in this week's Bee. Judge Hewlett placed strong emphasis on certain sentences, which caused the wildest enthusiasm and applause. Chairman Walker next introduced Editor Wm. M. Trotter, of the Boston Guardian, the chairman of the delegation, who addressed the President. For five minutes the applause was deafening. He walked to the front of the pulpit in a dignified and statesman-like attitude and in a quiet and impassionate manner; looking directly at his vast audience, said in part: Denies He Was Insulting. "I emphatically deny that in language, manner, tone in any respect or to the slightest degree I was impudent, insolent or insulting to the President." The visit to the White House by Trotter and his delegation, by the way, was to ask the President to end, by executive order, the segregation of races in the Postoffice and Treasury Departments. This, it was claimed, the President promised not to countenance when he was a candidate for President. "We carried out our mission." said Trotter. "The main issue for us was to force from the President, after two years' effort, an expression of his views." "The President," Trotter said, "declared in favor of race segregation as beneficial to both whites and Negroes." Cries Against President. Trotter had been cheered for five minutes when he took the platform to begin his address. The early part of his speech was interspersed with cries for Trotter and against the President. "Put him out," was the cry of the Negroes when Trotter mentioned the President during a part of his introduction. Laughter and hooting were indulged in freely by the audience, and the hall was seldom without subdued—in some cases—cries from Trotter's aroused auditors. Trotter looked out, eventually, and said: "Don't show any disrespect for the office of President; I respect the office." Trotter, with a wealth of gesture and insinuation, "hoped that the view of the President is not due to his Southern birth." He was confident, he said, that the Governor of Massachusetts would not have deemed him insolent. The President, Trotter said, told him that he had not heard such insolence from any other citizen. Although he denied being insolent, Trotter said he was sure that no other citizen had been doomed to the "limbo of inferiority of status." Segregation Is Denounced. A resolution adopted protesting against segregation was given the form of a statement to the American people. It contained this sentence: "We believe that this nation is passing through a physical and spiritual crisis, and that the issues of life and death will be decided ultimately when the people of the nation shall be called upon in the usual way to pronounce judgment for or against the responsible government at Washington in its unrighteous policy of discriminating against the citizenship of the country on account of race and color; a policy of discrimination that can, and will be, if adopted, extended indifinitely to the 101 race groups that compose the national population." Mr. Trotter spoke for one and a half hours and when he concluded he received the unanimous indorsement of the 2,000 present. At this juncture Ex-Lieut. Thomas H. K. Clark made an urgent appeal to the audience for a collection. After which Attorney Armond W. Scott, of the local bar, was introduced and delivered one of his philipics and paid his respects to Rev. M. W. Clair who had demonstrated to the world that he had failed to keep his promise with the committee to open his church for this meeting. He then turned to Rev. W. B. Johnson, who stood like Ajax defying the sea, and extolled his virtues and manhood by not deserting his fellow citizens in the hour of need. The applause lasted fully ten minutes. Rev. Johnson was the lion of the hour. Others followed, after which an appeal to the American people was adopted. Mr. Archibald N. Grimke, who was in the audience, was invited to a seat upon the platform. After repeated calls for him were made he walked to the rear of the church. Hundreds of the leading and best known citizens in the country were present and listened with eagerness to the speech of Mr. Trotter. DR. WASHINGTON In Virginia—The Great Educator Honored. Norfolk, Va., November 14. In connection with his visit to Norfolk and the peninsular region of Virginia this week, to speak at the annual meeting of the Virginia Organization Society and at several meetings arranged at various points on the Peninsula, by Major R. R. Moten and other officers of the Virginia Organization Society, Principal Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, visited Williamsburg, the seat of the second oldest college in the United States. William and Mary College stands foremost among the educational institutions for the education of white Southern young men and women. When it was announced that Dr. Washington was to speak at the Court House of Williamsburg, at one of the meetings of the Virginia Organization Society, the officers of William and Mary College extended an invitation to have Dr. Washington visit the school and speak to the students of this time-honored institution. No white educator, or prominent citizen could have been more cordially received nor warmly welcomed than was true of the Tuskegeean. The young men and women of William and Mary College applauded, most warmly, the telling points of the address delivered by Dr. Washington, and especially those particular pleas of his for fair play at the hands of the white citizens of the South in the midst of whom the Negro people live. His plea for closer co-operation in all the essentials for mutual helping in the South was also received with every evidence of approval. After the meeting Dr. Washington was photographed with members of the faculty and officers of William and Mary College, and there was nothing, whatever, to indicate that there was not, on every side, the keenest appreciation of the fact that a great Southern educator was visiting William and Mary College. In presenting him to the students of the school it was indicated, by the presiding officer that there is, at this famous seat of education, the keenest appreciation of Dr. Washington's contribution to the educational life of the country. William and Mary College has a distinguished list of graduates. Among others are Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Tyler and W. H. Harrison; also Chief Justice John Marshall and General Winfield Scott, and in later years representatives from the most distinguished families of the South. The school was founded in 1693. MISS N. BURROUGHS AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY. The Greatest Female Orator and Educator of the Race-A Practical Woman Who Is Doing Something. The Great Student Body Amazed. Educators Surprised and Elated. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, President of the National Training School at Lincoln Heights, was the speaker at the Vesper hour at Howard University last Sunday. Miss Burroughs is practicing what she is preaching, and her stirring message on "The Call of the New Age" was characteristic of the woman who has built up such a marvelous work in this city. She said in part: I come to appeal to you to answer the call of the New Age. It is a call to interpret religion in terms of life and to interpret life in terms of religion. It is a call to engage in a work which in these latter days of coining high sounding, euphoneous terms, we call social service, but which in reality is no more than old time religion hitched up to modern needs and modern conditions. It is nothing more than Christianity going through the streets of Jerusalem in an automobile instead of on a donkey. It is no new brand of religion, it is the same brand introduced by the Christ who went about doing good. The call of the New Age is therefore a call to make men more like Christ, earth more like heaven, and the Kingdoms of this world more like the Kingdom of God. It is, young men and women, a call to you to direct the civilization which Christianity has inspired. It is to you because more is being spent on you than on any other race groups and therefore more will be expected of you. The civilization that you are to help in directing is far more spiritual and far more humanistic than the civilization of any age before this and you must therefore get in vital touch with Him who came to save the very people to whom you will be sent to deliver the message. And may I remind you, the speaker said, that if you plan to contribute materially to the civilization of our times that your work will have to take a large socialological direction. Miss Burroughs declared that all leaders must have seven requisites: vision, decision, knowledge, passion for souls, the spirit of sacrifice and self effacement. She said "our race is not ten millions strong. It is four millions strong and six millions*weak. Just about four millions are lifted to a safe level and all of this number are not sufficiently socialized." The speaker then proceeded to outline definite work that must be done in every community. She gave these among many: The censoring of moving picture shows. The inspection and regulation of dance halls. Rational, wholesome recreation. Rational, wholesome recreation. Regular canvasses to keep the community up-to-date. A Y. M. C. A. or its equivalent; a federation of churches. A system of organized benevolence. A union to promote home training in morals and religion. A substitute for dance halls, pool rooms and dives. Yard gardening clubs. Stop needless duplication of churches. Lectures in civics and ethics and sex morality. Play ground for children. This work, said Miss Burroughs is not for little men and women. It is not for those who work for honor; it is for those who are working for results. The University Choir, under Miss Childers, furnished the music. Miss M. Helen Adams, of the Centre, Miss Clara Smythe, of the Sattalee House, and Prof. Logan, of the University Y. M. C. A. were on the platform. Dr. Parks presided. It is believed that the students of the University caught a clearer vision of the field as well as of their obligation to lift their race by real service among the masses. JOSEPH PLUMMER DEAD. A Well Known Citizen Gone—Brother of Mrs. Charlotte Smart Passes Away. Mr. Joseph Plummer, brother of Mrs. Charlotte Smart, a well known citizen of Catonville, Md., died at 4:30 P. M. at his home residence 36 Bloomingdale Avenue, Catonsville, Md., November 12th. Mr. Plummer had a host of friends who honored and respected him. The last act of his life, just before he died, was to go to the polls and cast a ballot for the Republican ticket. His wife, Mrs. Plummer, was a devoted woman in the hour of his illness. She worked assiduously for five long months and did all in her power to relieve his troubles. Mr. Plummer leaves a devoted wife, step son, Walter Watson, of Boston, Mary, a sister, Mrs. Charlotte Smart, of Washington, D. C., who is well known to the citizens there, and who was loyal and devoted during the entire time of his illness, and Mr. Ransom Smart, his brother-in-law, husband of Mrs. Charlotte Smart, also HAMPTON VS.

Mr. Plummer was a man of some property, and during the forty years of married life both the wife and husband worked devotedly and constantly to accumulate what little property he left, which he leaves to his wife, and remembers kindly his step son and sister. The only nephew, Sergeant Charles W. Edward, who distinguished himself in the 25th Infantry, and a young man of ability and distinction, was his favorite. Mr. Plummer was buried from his residence in Bloomingdale Sunday, November 15th. Edward Pyra was the funeral director. The floral tributes were handsome and beautiful, which came from all over the country, especially the floral tribute from Boston, Mass. There was no citizen more highly respected than Mr. Plummer. He was a devoted Christian and won the respect of all classes of citizens in his community, and notwithstanding his politics, which was Republican, he had the respect and confidence of all. Home and School Association. The Home and School Association of the Wendell Phillips School held their first meeting for the term 1914-15 at the First Baptist Church, Dumbarton Avenue and 27th street, West Washington, Tuesday evening, November 10. The church was tastefully decorated with potted plants and cut flowers. The meeting was called to order by Dr. Chas H. Marshall, president of the Association. Mr. Walter J. Abrams introduced the speaker, Mrs. Julia M. Layton, who made a very eloquent address. The principal feature of the meeting was the presentation to the school of a large portrait of the former principal, Miss Gertrude F. Smith, deceased. The portrait which was draped with two large American flags, was unveiled by Adrienne Marshall and Reginald Worrell, who were pupils in the kindergarten while Miss Smith was principal. Among the other speakers of the evening were Supervisor J. C. Nalle, who accepted the picture on behalf of the teachers of the school. Words of tribute were also spoken by the present principal, Miss Mathiel Williams. Two very pleasing solos and Miss Edith Savoy presided at the piano. Refreshments were served in the lecture room of the church. Attorney James H. Hayes will address the Bethel Literary Society next Tuesday evening. PRESIDENT WILSON AND THE NEGRO. Letter to Mr. R. R. Moton. November 18, 1914. Editor The Bee: Dear Sir: President Wilson's attitude toward constructive Negro work is admirably shown in his recent letter to Robert R. Moton, the commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute and president of the Negro Organization Society. President Wilson said: "I have been very much interested in the accounts I have heard of the work you are attempting to do through the instrumentality of the Negro Organization Society and feel that you are to be especially congratulated on the deep interest which has been manifested by the white people of Virginia and the South in the plans now maturing for the betterment of conditions among the Negro people. "I think one of the happiest circumstances of recent times is this cooperation between the white people and the Negroes in the South in intelligent efforts to advance the economic success and comfort of the Negroes and put them in a position where they can work out their own fortunes with success and self-respect. "I wish I might attend the meeting at Norfolk in person, in order to express my interest and sympathy, but I cannot and I hope you will feel at liberty to read this letter to the meeting." Very sincerely yours, WM. ANTHONY AERY. The Cleff Club. The most successful musical that has ever been given in this city was by the Cleff Club, of New York. The great Howard Theater, with a seating capacity of 1,800, and standing capacity of 2,500 was filled to the latter number, when Mr. Ralph Stewart, who managed the concert, announced that this club would appear. The Washington people turned out en masse and they, were not disappointed. As a matter of fact, a great number could not be accommodated. The musical rendition far surpassed anything listened to in this city. Every conceivable class of music was played and those who missed this concert missed a treat.

Boston, Mass., Nov. 16.—With the definite object in view of getting clearly in the public intelligence of the whole nation the facts about political conditions in the South, as they effect all the people of the South, and the entire nation, Hon. Joseph C. Manning is working from Boston as a center of influence. In speaking of his mission, Mr. Manning said: "I hold that disfranchisement in the South has created a subject citizen condition. I maintain that had the ballot not been taken from colored men in the South that they would have, by the exercise of political rights, warded off jim-crowism and the like. All of this is a consequence of the subject citizen station to which colored are shamefully relegated. To uphold the false political conditions in the South anti-Negro propaganda has been pressed South and North by the Southern democracy. This has been the cause of the growth of color prejudice in the North. "I appears to me that the Republican party will come back into power in 1916 and it is up to the friends of human justice to so arouse the nation to this issue, from the proper angle, that it will have the right punch to it when it does get into power again. "This is why I am speaking and writing, from this point, on this subject of the political rights of American citizens in the South. We wish to force the issue into national political discussion and do it intelligently. It would seem that this question must be solved by the Republican party, which is the only national party and which is going to be right on this issue or it will be the fault of those who realize that public sentiment is behind the throne and yet fail to work to make the right sort of sentiment."

AIR CRAFT NEEDED, SCRIVEN ASSERTS EYES OF MODERN WARFARE In Annual Report Chief Signal Officer of United States Army Says Aeroplanes Are More Advantageous Than Dirigibles—This Country to Increase Aviation Corps at Once. Washington.—The first official indications of the effects which the operations in the war in Europe are likely to have upon the military establishment of the United States are contained in the annual report of Brigadier General George P. Scriven, chief signal officer of the United States, under whose direction aviation is being developed our army. General Scriven's discussion of the lessons to be leamed from the use of air craft in the war is very frank. It is understood that it is based largely upon the report of Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Reber, in charge of the aviation staff of the signal corps, who was in Europe at the outbreak of the war and was enabled to learn much about the demonstrated usefulness of the air craft. The recognition by congress of the need for a larger aviation corps in the United States army was wise, in the opinion of General Scriven, and more than justified by the operations of the aviators in the war in Europe. General Scriven is doubtful of the offensive powers of the aeroplane and dirigible, but declares that the use of air craft in scouting operations and assisting artillery has worked a great revolution in the theory and application of grand tactics. It has made impossible, he says, the old time surprise movements and bril- 3 GENERAL GEORGE P. SCRIVEN, U. B. A. llant strokes by enterprising generals and has brought the operations completely under the eye of the commanding generals. General Scriven believes the day of the aeroplane as a factor in military operations is just dawning. Of the value of the dirigible he is doubtful and suggests that the United States government do little with dirigibles, except in the field of experiment, until congress is appropriating very liberally for aviation in the army. A startling feature of General Scrien's report is his discussion of the use of air craft for offensive operations. His remarks, while unquestionably representing the views of the United States military service, can hardly be pleasing to the European belligerents who have tried to use dirigibles extensively on the offensive. The chief effect achieved by the bomb dropping air craft, he says, is a moral one. He adds: "It may be said, however, that if the future shows that attack from the sky is effective and terrible, as may prove to be the case, it is evident that, like the rain, it must fall on the just and the unjust and, it may be supposed, will therefore become taboo to all civilized people and forbidden at least by paper agreements." --- Commenting on the action of congress in authorizing this year the increase of the aviation section to sixty officers and 200 enlisted men. General Serwen says: "The importance of this measure, the effect of which is to create a flying corps for the army, cannot be exaggerated, for existing conditions show that whatever may be the conclusions drawn as to the use of air craft for offensive purposes in warfare and as to the importance of the diricible, there can be no doubt of the value of the aeroplane in rapid and long range reconnaissance work and of its power to secure and transmit by radio visual signals or direct flight information of importance to armies in the field. "So true is this that it seems probable the aeroplane, and to some smaller degree all air craft, have altered not the principles of strategy, but the theory and application of grand tactics." Waterway Reopened In Six Days After Culebra Slide. Washington - How they do things in the canal zone has never been better illustrated than it is in the report just received in this country of the way that the canal force under Governor Goethals removed the 725,000 cubic yards of rock and earth that blocked the canal as a result of the recent Culebra slide. They reopened the canal in six days. "A large slide on the east bank of Culebra cut," says the bulletin, "directly north of Gold hill, carved about 725,000 cubic yards of earth and rock into the canal prism and blocked the channel for 1,000 feet to the passage of vessels larger than towboats, causing the suspension of traffic. This occurred two months to the day after the official opening of the canal to commercial traffic." Immediately following the discovery that the Culebra slide was under way the dredges at work on the Cucaracha slide ceased work there and steamed rapidly north to meet the "Culebra slide halfway." "But for this action," says the canal report, "the results could not have been accomplished, as the condition of the channel was such that loaded barges could not be passed through the slide. The dredges were worked under triple shift, and the channel was cleared sufficiently in less than a week to allow the passage of seven vessels which had been delayed at the south end of the canal. The vessels had been taken to Pedro Miguel lock and moored alongside the approach piers and within the lock. "The actual passage of the seven vessels through the cut occupied about four hours. They followed each other at intervals of about half an hour, propelled by their own power, but passing the slide under the control of a tug fore and aft to hold them to the course. Thirteen vessels were awaiting passage from the Atlantic entrance, and they were passed through Culebra cut the following day." Meyer London to Represent an East Side District. York.—For the first time in the of America a Socialist will repa a New York district in the na- house of representatives. Photo by American Press Association. MEYER LONDON'S FIGHTING FACE, A SNAPSHOT MADE WHILE HE WAS SPEAKING. Heum opponents in one of the east slido districts where a majority of the population are foreign born. This race is not his first. He had long cherished the idea of representing East Broadway in the lower house. He has many stanch friends who were also determined that he should be elected. And after several defeats he was successful. The eyes of the nation will watch his every act. He will be the mouthpiece of the Socialist party in congress. London was born in Russia, where most of the population of the district which he represents was born. He has lived on New York's east side for years, struggled, starved, dreamed, argued and wept there. He came here when he was eighteen years old. 'Meyer London is not a humorist. He looks very sad and serious when he talks. He has a brain, a good one. He has his share of strategy and not. But it was his capacity for feeling that elected him to congress - his heart - the heart of the east side. He could persuade the voters to vote the Socialist ticket. But they waited him pace back and forth while he tried to do it, and then they voted for him. Not another candidate on the Socialist ticket was elected. Wounded Men at Work. London.-French and British wounded are helping their nurses make warm garments for the soldiers at the front and some of them expect to get back to the firing line in time to wear their own handwork. Many are becoming adept at knitting sweaters. EMDEN'S CAREER A PICTURESQUE ONE HER BRAVERY UNEQUALED. Before Being Beached and Burned by Australian Cruiser Sydney the Emden Sank or Captured Twenty-five Other Vessels—Once Passed Disguised Under British Cannon. London.—The career of the German cruiser Emden, recently beached and burned on the coast of one of the group of Cocos islands, off the coast of India, forms one of the most picturesque chapters that have been written in the history of the present war so far. The little German boat, with her speed of 24.5 knots an hour her chief asset, dodged in and out among British, French, Russian and Japanese vessels for nearly four months without being damaged. During this time she captured or destroyed no less than twenty-four merchantmen or warships of her enemies. These vessels were valued at over $4,000,000. It fell to the lot of an Australian cruiser to destroy the game little German terror. The Emden was sighted by H. M. A. S. Sydney, which was equipped with six inch guns. A running fight followed, and the Sydney being the faster soon gained the advantage and the Emden was beached. For sheer audacity and accomplishment, it has few parallels—certainly none since the Alabama, the famous old Confederate warship, was roaming the Atlantic. Since early in August the Emden has been at work. Most of the time she was preying on British shipping in the Indian ocean, but late in October she suddenly appeared at Penang, on Malacca strait. It was here that the Emden performed her most daring feat. A fourth smokestack was rigged on her deck and a Japanese flag run up. Thus disguised, she steamed boldly into the harbor, passing unchallenged under the F and fired torr Russian cruiser destroyer. The and escaped has been i nval men to keep a without runnin please. It is as has obtained from captured In at least one instance this is known to have been done. The captain of the British steamship Exford, captured by the Emden in the Indian ocean, reported to his owners that the commander of the Emden said that before he sank the Exford he intended to take on board his cruiser the 7,000 tons of steam coal with which the Exford was laden. The first report of the activity of the Emden was on Aug. 6, when she was said to have been sunk in action with the Russian cruiser Askold off Weihwelwel. This was contradicted a few days later, when word was received that the Emden had sunk the steamship City of Winchester on Aug. 5 and, steaming into the bay of Benghil five days later, had sent two more British vessels to the bottom. Within three days she had sunk four vessels there. The was accompanied by the Hamburg-American steamship Markomannia as a collier. The Markomannia was sunk on Oct. 16 off Sumatra by a British cruiser Leaving the bay of Bengal, the Emden sank three British steamers in the Indian ocean on Sept. 14. On Sept. 22 she appeared off Madras and shelled the city, extinguishing her lights and disappearing when the forts replied. Then she renewed her activity in the vicinity of Rangoon, where more British vessels fell prey to her. Again she disappeared and was not heard from until she turned up at Penang. The Emden was a sister ship of the cruiser Dresden, which participated in the naval battle off the coast of Chile. Nov 1, when the British squadron under command of Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Crudock was defeated. The Emden had a complement of 301 men. Her armament consisted of ten 4.1 inch guns, eight five-pounders and four machine guns. She also was equipped with two submerged 17.5 inch torpedo tubes. The cruiser displaced 3,600 tons. She was 287 feet long and had a beam of 431.3 feet. She was laid down at Danzig in 1906 and completed in May, 1925. The Australian cruiser Sydney carries a main battery of eight six-inch guns against the Emden's ten 4.1, thus giving her a heavy advantage over the German ship. While the speed of the two ships was theoretically equal, that of the Emden being 24.5 knots against the Sydney's 24.7, the former probably was foul and her engines badly raked from her three months of almost constant cruising in southern waters, closing and being chased and with no port for refitting or repairs. Not a Brave Man. London.—A British officer writes home: "The man who says he can hear a screaming shell pass above his head for the first time without ducking is not a brave man. He is a liar." GOOD SAMARITAN TO BANDITS. Two Young Holdups Fed. and Given Tickets Home by Chicago. Chicago. - Two would be robbers were placed on a train for St. Louis, their home, here recently by the man they had tried to rob. The hero of the story is Frank J. Walsh, clerk of a criminal court, six feet two inches in his stockings and a former star on the football field. When the young men, novices, attempted to hold up Welsh he wrested the revolver from one, smashed him in the jaw and kicked him unconscious into the gutter. The second he knocked into an open manhole. Then he restored them and took them not to jail, but to his home. It was late and cold, but soon Walsh had sizzling bacon and eggs on the table and was exhorting his prisoners to turn from the career of crime which, being unable to find work, they said they had just started. Walsh replenished their wardrobes, gave each one a ticket and money and even offered to get work for them here, but they said they would return to St. Louis. One of them said he was the son of a millionaire, now dead, and his companion was his cousin. Walsh refused to reveal the names of his assailants. DIES AS PAUPER: WAS RICH. Man Resented Appointment of Guardian After Losses. Wabash, Ind.—As a result of a relative in Hoopeston, Ill., reading a newspaper account of the death of a man known in Wabash for three years as Joseph Fritz, the body of the man has been exhumed and taken to Illinois, where it will be buried. It has been learned, since the man was killed by a freight train, that his name was John Fetch and that, while it was believed here that he was penniless, he owned property worth not less than $15,000 in Illinois. Fetch always declined to discuss his life, and during the three years he spent in Wabash county as a laborer he was never induced to tell from whence he came. According to the story told by his brother, who came here and claimed the body. Fetch made a bad investment in stock in Illinois four years ago and lost heavily. As the result of constant brooding over the affair, Fetch became unbalanced, and his family had a guardian appointed. This so angered the man that he left Illinois and, although his relatives kept up an untiring search for him, they were never able to find him. Washington.—For almost a quarter of a century Matilda Zoll, who managed the Griddle, a German restaurant, has had the reputation of cooking the most palatable beefsteaks in Washington. The good repute of her steaks has gone with statesmen and politicians to the four corners of the country. Coming to America from Germany when a girl, she married. One son was born; then her husband died. When he grew up the boy enlisted in the army. He died in the service several weeks ago and was buried in the National cemetery. Mrs. Zoll applied to Secretary of War Garrison for an order whereby when she died she might be buried beside her son's body. She received a routine letter advising her that the army regulations provided that only the widows of army officers could be interred in national cemeteries. The case was laid before Secretary Garrison. Her friends told him that a special order bearing his signature would brighten the old age of the soldier's mother. "There is no precedent. I fear that it cannot be done," Secretary Garrison replied. On the following day Mrs. Zoll's friends returned. "She does not ask that her name be inscribed on the headstone," they told Mr. Garrison. "She will be perfectly satisfied if her body is cremated and the ashes buried in a small urn beside her boy. If her request is not granted she will spend an unhappy old age." "Go tell the judge advocate general to issue an order granting her request if it can be done without resulting in my impeachment," Mr. Garrison replied. The order has been issued. SERVIA'S YOUNG SOLDIER. Boy of Twelve Has Already Fought In Seven Battles. Paris.—The youngest soldier in the war is said to be a Servian lad named Dragoljub Jellitich. Though only twelve years old, he is said to have already fought in seven engagements In the last he was wounded. Crown Prince Alexander of Servia learned of the boy's prowess and as a reward for valor personally handed little Dragoljub his stripes as a corporal, an honor which so pleased the boy that he is itching to be back at the front in the performance of his new duties. London. A supper in the Royal engineers tells how thirty of the Cameron highlanders were buried alive. They sought refuge in a chive, which the Germans bombarded, causing it to collapse. All perished. WOUNDED PRAISE ARTILLERY WORK Correspondent Visits Hospital and Gets First Hand Stories of Incidents at the Front—Wounded Soldiers Tall of Charges and Life In Trenches—Many Interesting Experiences Related. London.—An American newspaper man who has just visited the American hospital at Palginton repeats some interesting stories told by wounded men. He says: "Nearly every ward was alive with phonographs or talking machines of some description, and around these hovered dozens of the less seriously wounded. A ragtime melody vied with that of an opera singer; a cloud of smoke arose from pipes, cigars and cigarettes. "Pointing to a wounded man, the left side of whose face was black and swollen, a surgeon said: "Ask him to show you the piece of shrapnel that hit him. He kept it for a souvenir." "The man was George Harper of the rifle brigade. He had been wounded SB Photo by American Press Association. WOUNDED SOLDIER NEARLY WELL in a recent engagement near Bethune. He took from a small cupboard beside his cot the head of a German shrapnel shell. "I never knew anything after that hit me, slr," said Harper. "It hit the ground first and then took me in the jaw. Yes, it hurts' some now, for three teeth were knocked out and part of the jawbone broken, so the doctors say. These American doctors and nurses are fine. The artillery fire of those Germans was terrific, shells bursting everywhere. We lay in the trenches and couldn't get at 'em. Then came the shell that got me and a lot of other fellows. When I came to I looked for a pal who had been next to me. There wasn't much left of him. I leaned over and picked up this shrapnel head for a souvenir. You can see where some of the red is still on it. The doctors say I've got a piece of shrapnel in my throat and a bullet in my chest and that I'm a lucky dog to be here." Of the sixty who were asked about their experiences not one begrudged praise to the Germans for their prowess with artillery. Nearly all agreed that the infantry firing was poor, but they excepted the sharpshooters, who, they said, had picked off the officers to such an appalling extent that many of the officers discarded their swords and carried guns to deceive the marksmen. Thomas Smith of the Twelfth lancers was wounded near Solksons. "We waited for days to get at them," Smith said, "but they had their big guns sweeping every road. Finally we were placed in the trenches with rifles. Later we got our chance. As we charged toward the German lancers they threw down their lances and begged for mercy. As we swept on by with our lances raised we were fired on from behind. Then we started back for them, and we finished every one of them. We didn't want to take any of them prisoners anyway." In another charge soon afterward, Smith says, a German lancer struck him amidships with his lance. "If it had been as sharp as our own lances are I would have been stuck clean through. But it only knocked the wind out of me, and I had strength enough left to get a couple of them. "The Germans' lances are much too long. They can't handle them as we do. We let the horse carry the lance into them, and as we go sweeping by the horse pulls it out again. That's the war we work the trick." Horse Carrier Curtis London. - Major Mockett of the Fourth bursars had a race horse as a mount. When the Germans opened fire the horse bolted with him toward their guns, and the major was killed Twenty-eight Killings In Three Days Necessary to Suppress Revolutions. Baltimore.—That twenty-eight executions within three days is not an unusual occurrence in China under the government of Yuan Shih Kai was the statement made by the Rev. C. Newton Dubs, son of Bishop Rudolph Dubs, and a missionary to Changsha, province of Hunan, China, under the control of the United Evangelical church. Mr. Dubs, who has only recently reached Baltimore after spending fourteen years as a missionary in China, delivered several addresses in South Baltimore. Speaking of the precarious position of any government in China, Mr. Dubs said that only wholesale executions were able to suppress the revolutionaryaries. The ordinary citizens he described as peace loving and desirous of having stable government. Mr. Dubs thinks that the European war threatens disaster to China. She is at the mercy of Japan, despite the protestations of good faith made by that country, he said. China is also unable to float the loan that is immediately necessary for the maintenance of her government. SNAPSHOT CAUSES ARREST. Bandit, Photographed While Holding Up a Coach, Finally Caught. Denver.—A snapshot taken by a woman victim caused the arrest of Charles Eppenbach, a well to do cattleman of northwestern Idaho, as the bandit who two month ago held up several stagecoaches in Yellowstone National park and robbed the passengers. One hundred and sixty-five persons, mostly Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati tourists, were victims of the bandit, who escaped into the "Hole In the Wall" country of northern Wyoming. A posse trailed the man in vain, but the suspect was landed by the photograph taken by a woman as she stood alongside the road waiting to be relieved of her valuables. The photograph was sent to the United States marshal, and copies were mailed throughout the northwest. Eppenbach was brought to Lander, Wyo., where he was indicted by a federal grand jury. Petrograd. On one occasion at night during the German siege of the fortress of Ivangorod a Russian battery approached within two miles of the German trenches and succeeded in concealing itself. It could not, however, see the enemy. Then a Russian soldier, taking a field telephone attached to the wire to the rear, went nearly two miles through the forest. Reaching the open country, the Russian dragged himself along the ground until within a hundred yards of the Germans, where, in full view of the enemy, he stood upright. The enemy, recognizing him as a Russian, opened fire. The soldier fell at the first shot and lay quite still. At that moment the Russian guns opened fire, and their aim was remarkably accurate. Not a single shell missed the German trenches. As a matter of fact, the daring Russian was not dend or even wounded. All the time he lay on the ground he was telephoning his battery, and finally the Germans were compelled to abandon their position. The hero of this exploit has been decorated with the cross of St. George. An army order promulgated on Oct. 26 by the crown prince of Bavaria, after warmly congratulating his troops on their successes, says: "Soldiers, the eyes of the whole world are now directed upon you. You must not now lose your energy in the fight with our most hated foe. You must finally break his pride. "He is already tired out. Already many officers and men have voluntarily surrendered, but the greatest and decisive battle remains still before you. You must sustain it even to the end." "The enemy must be crushed. You will persevere. You will not let him escape your fangs. "We must conquer—we will conquer—we shall conquer." CANARY_VERSUS A MOUSE. And the Little Bird Won in a Free For All Fight—Honestl Hastings, N. J. - At the home of Samuel Poe here a canary bird whip- ped a mouse in a fair fight. When the battle was over the bird gave evi- dence of its elation by trilling some of its sweetest songs. The mouse enter- ed the cage of the canary when it stood on a table, evidently suffering from hunger. It began to eat up seeds put in the rage for the canary. The bird became enraged and attacked the mouse. It took only a few seconds for the bird to blind the mouse with its bill The Welsh Battle Cry. London. - Fresh troops who bear the Royal Welsh regiment charge with a shout of "Gwell angeu neu chy wilsd!" looked suspiciously at them, wondering whether this awe inspiring cry was not German. It is the Welsh regimental motto. "Better death than dishonor." JESUS TRIED BY PILATE. Matthew 27:11-26—Nov. 22. "Pilate saith unto them, What them shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ?"—Verse 22. S early as possible in the morning, the chief priests hurried Jesus to the Praetorium, the Andromedon hall of Pilate. Ro- man Governor of Judea. Pilate inquired as to what charge they had against Jesus. They evasively answered that He was worthy of punishment, else they would not accuse Him. Pilate reminded them that under the Roman usage they had great liberty in dealing with all disputes of a religious kind, and that therefore they should settle the case themselves. The priests responded that they had no power to inflict the death penalty, thus revealing that they had deliberately plotted to have Pilate put an innocent person to death. Then they accused Jesus of perverting the nation—telling the people not to pay taxes to Caesar and claiming to be the Jewish King—Messiah. Jesus, Before Pilate. Jesus, Before Pilate. These were serious charges, which Pilate was bound to consider, and were totally different from those brought against Jesus at the Sanbedrin trial. Jesus made no defense; for He knew that the time had come for Him to die. He would not attempt to turn aside that which He knew to be a part of the Divine Program for Him. Jesus Before Pilate and Herod. Another account tells that Pilate perceived that the chief priests and the Scribes were moved with envy in making their charges. But he must not appear to treat lightly the charges respecting another king than Caesar. He therefore questioned Jesus; but receiving no reply, he went out to the Scribes and Pharisees, who had refrained from entering the Praetorium because the Passover season had begun. After hearing them, apparently he returned and asked Jesus, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?" Jesus inquired whether the question was based upon Pilate's knowledge of His teachings or whether upon the assertion of His enemies. Pilate replied that the chief men of Jesus' own nation had delivered Him, and that he wished to know the cause of their opposition. Jesus answered that His Kingdom was not of this world-order of things. He was not, therefore, in conflict with Caesar. Pilate questioned Him a little further, and then went forth to the Jews, to whom he said, "I find no crime in Him." The chief priests were alarmed. They vehemently charged that Jesus was stirring up the people; and that, beginning away in Galllee. He had preached everywhere. When Pilate heard this, he sent Jesus to Herod, king of Gallilee, who was at his palace in Jerusalem. Herod had heard many things respecting Jesus, and was curious to see Him do some miracle. Jesus made no reply to the king's questions. The chief priests and the Scribes accused Jesus violently to Herod, who sent Him back to Pilate, after having, with his soldiers, mocked our Lord and put upon Him a gorgeous robe. This act of deference on Pilate's part, and Herod's return of the courtesies, bridged over an enmity between the two. Neither Pilate Nor Herod Condemned. On several occasions Pilate had released prisoners in honor of the Passover. The multitude cheered him and inquired whether he would release some prisoner that year. Thinking to get Jesus out of the hands of the chief priests, Pilate asked the people, "Whom will ye that I release unto you, Barabbas, the highwayman, or Jesus, who is called Christ?" Incited by their religious leaders, the multitude demanded the release of Barabbas. Pilate remonstrated, declaring that he found no cause of death in Jesus. whom he would chastise and then release. Jesus was therefore delivered over to the Roman soldiers, who were only too willing to mock and to scourge Him. Shortly afterward, Pilate brought Him whom he would chastise and then release. Jesus was therefore delivered over to the Roman soldiers, who were only too willing to mock and to scourge Him. Shortly afterward, Pilate brought Him forth to the waiting multitude. Wearing the purple robe and a crown of thorns, Jesus stood before them. Pilate then said, "Behold the Man!" See Him whom you are trying to have me put to death. He is one of the noblest specimens of humanity. Behold the beautiful dignity of His character. Whatever you have against Him, you will feel placated when you see His humility. But they cried, "Crucify Him!" Pilate again remonstrated. Then they came to the root of the matter—that Jesus had declared Himself to be the Son of God, an assertion which they considered blasphemy. This made Pilate all the more afraid. He thought again to release Jesus. But the Jews persisted. Finally Pilate yielded, saying in desperation, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man!" They cried, "His blood be upon us and our children!" And for more than eighteen centuries it has been so. Esau W Funeral Esau Winslow Funeral Director 11th and You Streets Northwest Washington, D. C.

Not only was Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been held up through all the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also. A new book entitled "The Black Man Was the Father of Civilization." This book defends its title exclusively by the Bible and therefore has nothing to fear. This book is illustrated with many pictures. Price, $1.00 by mail. The following comment is from the Seattle Daily Post Intelligencer: Elder J. M. Webb, evangelist of the Church of God, in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the Greatest One, was black. Mr. Webb's work is able and thoughtful.

The incident which transpired at the White House on the morning of the 12th instant is familiar to us all, and concerning which most of us have ere this made up our minds. One of the most encouraging signs of a growing sympathy and genuine friendliness toward the colored people consists in the good temper manifested by the entire local press. Almost without exception there was a manifest undercurrent tending to an indorsement of the purpose of the interview as well as of the behaviour of the participants, generally, with but little adverse comment upon Mr. Trotter's earnestness. Touching Mr. Trotter's particular manner of presenting the views of his colleagues, we have but little to say, for the reason that, were we to act upon the testimony we have gathered from those most likely to know, we might do the President an injustice, since his hide has not been, if truthfully, fully presentd. If Mr. Trotter acted ungentlemanly he has done himself, his record, his cause and his people no valuable service or credit. The theme, the place, the personality, power and position of : President, all suggested, nay, manded, diplomacy, politeness, inerance and a proper regard for : dignity, as well as the "insouce of office." This does not mean wever, that the spokesman should have been obsequious, wobbling, apologetic, mealy-mouthed, fawning and unmanly; and we are satisfied that this cannot be shown. Our acquaintance with the spokesman covers many years. Upon questions of public policy, proposed instrumentalities for racial benefit, politics, leadership, we have often differed, and widely, as our honest opinions and the lights before us for guidance, dictated. But we have never known Mr. Trotter to lose his head in any controversy, or to forget his duty as a cultured Christian gentleman. It may true that his earnestness was mistaken for temper, or perhaps for an inexcusable failure to properly realize his "place" when speaking in the presence of a to a "white man." The horrible image of a "sassy nigger" may have been focused in a greatly magnified and chromatic field, but we are sure that it was the result of some form of aberration, we know not what. We have known of instances where colored men and women have been persecuted for being "sassy niggers," when the head and front of the entire offense, if there were any, consisted of a determination to live down lives, free from the encroachment of scandal and gossip; to advance social purity, to popularize the highest social and moral ideals and advance their fellow beings in all that makes for practicality and dignity of character. We do not say that the President regarded and treated the spokesman in the light of a "sassy nigger," but when we recall some of the expressions of those who are raising all the fuss about jim Crowism, segregation, and conduct on the part of some of certain members of the Cabinet, we would not be surprised if we were authoritatively assured that he was impelled by some such motive. But how small a matter, in the presence of so prodigious, serious, far-reaching, vital and thoroughly legitimate and proper a theme as Human Rights—the right of an American citizen to the full and equal-enjoyment of all the privileges and immunities of American citizens generally! To have seized upon the questionable pretext of incivility as an excuse for cutting short discussion of interests so near and dear to ten millions of It is well known to the country that The Bee told Mr. Trotter and his committee in 1912, when both called at Princeton, N. J., that they were deceiving themselves. That the Democratic party was against the Negro and that he and his committee would be disappointed. Mr. Trotter, a few days ago, admitted to the editor of The Bee that he (the editor) had prophesied rightly. During the entire campaign the Democratic committee paid every alleged Negro Democrat and Negro supporter of the Democratic party that they were being paid for services rendered. When the campaign had ended and the President inaugurated the finance committee of the Democratic party had the receipt of every Negro Democrat, so-called, in full to date. The very first act of these alleged Negro Democrats was to present political prescription list to Mr. Wilson, requesting the decapitation of every Negro Republican office holder and the appointment of alleged Negro Democrats. The Bee saw all of this before it came to pass. Why was not this segregation agitation under the two Republican administrations by the National Independent Equal Rights League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Roosevelt dismissed without honor the Negro soldiers. Mr. Tait, in his inaugural address declared that he would appoint no Negro to positions who was objectionable to white people. While this may all be true, both Republican Presidents inaugurated a segregation policy, and The Bee regrets that-President Wilson had failed to profit by the mistakes and blunders of his predecessors. This segregation policy of the two Republican Presidents doesn't excuse the jim-crow policy of the present administration, and neither are these alleged Negro Democrats who declared that they had at last found a new Abraham, deserve any consideration for deceiving ten millions of Negroes. While it is true, the administrations of Presidents Taft and Roosevelt had failed to do their whole duty toward their faithful allies, no Negro should have deserted the Republican party and go after glittering generalities. Mr. Trotter admitted that he had been deceived. Bishop Walters has declared that the recent defeat of the Democratic party was on account of its failure to keep faith with Negro Democrats. The Bee hopes, now, that those colored men who followed false gods have been taught a lesson and learn the lesson of Davy Crocket, "be sure you are right and then go ahead." THE DIFFERENCE About the time the Trotter incident was at "white heat," the following was sent broadcast over the country: OBJECT TO PLANTATION SONGS. Boston, Mass., Nov. 13.—The old plantation songs, "My Old Kentucky Hone," "Oh, Susannah," "Massa in de Cold, Cold Ground," are insults to the Negro race, according to speakers, both Negro and White, who appeared yesterday at a hearing before the school committee. As a result of their protest, the committee voted immediately to withdraw from the schools a book of forty songs recently compiled by the musical director. The objections to the songs were based partly on the use of the words "darky," "nigger," and "coon." Comment here seems unnecessary, except to show that there is great variance between the policies of the North ant. South, respectively. From the above, it appears that while the cohorts of the Administration are striving to exaggerate the possible existence of slight traces of race prejudice, the people of Boston and the North generally are studiously and successfully endeavoring to remove every cause, however remote, calculated to create or encourage distinctions based upon color, Judging from the protestations of the ```markdown ``` however, accentuate the true conditions, which point to the generous concession that at the South every man is all right, if he is not colored, but all wrong if he is, while at the North "a man's a man for a' that and a' that." Here is a lesson in practical morality and absolute fair-dealing which must put to blush the empty professions of the so-called "only true friends of the colored people." If the South would have the world believe that it is our friend, it is high time to give proper credit to true manhood and womanhood among colored people, rather than placing a premium on flunkyism and boot-licking. THE LESSON. When certain colored men left the Republican party and joined hands with the Democratic party were they not paid in full? If the treasurer of the Democratic party would only publish the receipts he has in his possession from the alleged disciples of democracy, perhaps these colored Democratic office seekers would not be so active in asserting their grievances. Many of them left the Republican party not because they were segregated, but because their services were no good in the Republican party. In the face of the - declarations that were made by Helfin, Hoke Smith, Vardaman and others certain colored men continued their allegiance to the doctrine of democracy. Notwithstanding the warning The Bee gave to these men during the campaign of 1912, these disciples of the Democratic dispensation, they continued to declare that a new Daniel had come to judgment. They met and talked to their new god. What have they received? They all declare that they have made a mistake and they now appeal to the injured masses for forgiveness. For a piece of filthy lucre they sold their birthright. While it is true that segregation exists in a few of the government departments, there are many departments in which colored men are treated fairly well. While this is true, no government should tolerate segregation or permit discrimination to exist or be perpetrated. A government is supposed to treat all classes of citizens alike. Will the Negro learn from the lesson that has been presented? If not, why not? TOO BAD. We regret that the communication of "Justitia" has been mislaid or lost, else for the benefit of the readers of The Bee albeit out of a policy of ignoring articles unaccompanied by the name of the author this too would, ordinarily, have been consigned to the waste basket—we would break a custom. Naturally enough, a full reply cannot be made since the article is not before us. But as we recall it, it was a bit of "dope," so replete with sycophancy, apologies, lies and race-libels as to be disgusting in the extreme. It defends Burleson's policy, declares Hoke Smith an angel and stigmatizes Garrison, Sumner, Douglass and Lincoln as hypocritical grand-stand players and enemies of the race. The attitude of President Wilson is applauded and the colored race is reminded that "the so-called progress of the race has been nothing but the magnification of nothingness, but a set of white political machinists and flabgasted colored egotists," and more of like rot. If the writer will send us a copy of his tirade, we shall be more than pleased to publish it in full and let the people see for themselves that idiocy is not the sole property of white folk. NO WORSE The general howl against the act of planting "mines in the North Sea in such manner as to endanger the lives and property of neutral nations is thoroughly justifiable, since it is an expression of utter recklessness as to the safety or danger of innocent people in violation of neutral rights and no certain means of offense or defense in the European struggle. Whatever nation is guilty, eternal disgrace and punishment will follow the wrong doers. But bad as that may be, it is no worse than an organized planting of the mines of race prejudice in places where moderate tranquility exists and where the honor and dignity of American civilization are being studiously and honorably maintained. To plant mines where there is a possibility to an innocent party is suppose that a physician would be guilty of unprofessional conduct. Nevertheless it is a fact. A patient has a right to patronize any druggist he feels disposed to patronize, notwithstanding the advice of his physician. The Bee has in mind the act of a certain physician in this city who has an imaginary grievance against one of the leading druggists in the northwest. This well known physician, whose conduct is nothing more than reprehensible, asked his patient where he had his prescriptions filled. Having been informed he advised him to go elsewhere as he had a personal grievance against this well known druggist. No physician should advise his patient not to patronize a firm because of his imaginary grievance. Such unprofessional conduct reacts sometimes to the injury of the slanderer. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Passengers come in on a Benninges car last Sunday were muchamused when a large, sort of duplex size lady of color got off, followed by her child, turned and said, rather exasperatingly: "Gome on here, Eggnog, what yer mean by inching along so slow?" One individual had the temerity to ask the scion of Ham why she called the boy Eggnog. "Yer know Cynthia Johnsning what lives round the corner from Uncle Ned Adams, she done had twins what she calls Tom and Jerry, and I ain't jest goin' to leave no trash like her git ahead of me al namin' her brats, dat's why I calls him, dis chil' o mine, Eggnog." And this just leads me to ask—what's in a name? Couldn't Green River taste just as good by some other name? If naming descendants of Ham after drinks continues, we may just expect to hear the offsprings of Ham called "Mamie Taylor," "Martini," "Manhattan." "Whisky Sour." "Bronx," "Holland Gin," etc. But here's hoping that the fashion of naming the high-brown descendants after concoctions doped out of red liquor will die with Mesdames Cynthia Johnsing and the proud mother who called her future Recorder of Deeds "Eggnog." Somehow I can't help but admire Monroe Trotter's fighting spirit. Ain't no man worked harder again this segregation than the editor of the Guardian. He's got some sins, and maybe a number, but you got to take your hat off to him when it comes to speaking out in meeting against this segregation that we Hamites have had to --- endure under Woody Wilson. He just went to the little old White House last Thursday and braved the lion in his den, just told the New Jersey President, via way of Virginia and Georgia, what he and his people think of segregation. Now there hasn't been any friction between white and colored government employees all these years, but this college president what Roosevelt elected to the Presidency of these United States, gets into his head that if he didn't segregate the colored from the whites the various departments would have to send in the riot alarm every morning on account of friction between the two races. Brother Chase has thundered away against segregation ever since it was started, and a lot of hot-air artists have cussed it out on the street corners about a mile away from the little old White House, but a mighty few, who ought to be interested, have given William Calvin their moral support. The wife of a high-colored official came out strong last week against peonage and discrimination away down South, but she didn't peep about segregation right here under her nose. The trouble is, as I have frequently said on the hustings, around in the vicinity of Avenue de-Nig and the Ralto, that many of our leaders when they get held of a job their mouths are closed to all protest against race discrimination. Monroe Trotter has made himself popular by keeping up his fight against segregation, and after that going right into the little old White House and telling Princeton's failure that he was no bigger than Mr. Dingbat, or some other Sea Isle residents, 'cause he imposed segregation on a lot of faithful and efficient colored employees. he sure has got my endorsement. I heard a lot of—I won't say lot—a two-by-four crawfishes with an oxidized complexion, criticising Trotter. Friday, 'cause he had the nerve to say what he thought right in Woody's presence. Every time I hear of an oxidized complexion misfit what condones or compromises with segregation, I feel that Villa's method of treating concentrados ought to be adopted with them—shoot 'em before breakfast. Trotter may be hot-headed and all that, but in the Sam Hill can you expect a fellow to be all calm as a summer's zephyr when the President of the United States he helped to elect approves segregation to his face? If I held an office by the grace of Woody Wilson, one of them presidential size, I would resign, now that he has officially approved of segregation and got all he up 'cause a colored man dared to tell him it was wrong and again the constitution. But you won't hear of any resignations just take it from me. I always thought that Trotter's fighting Booker T. in and out of season, and without rhyme or reason; was wrong, but I'm willing to overlook that for the present while I dips my beaver to him for going to the President and talking like a naturalized and suffragal man. \*\*\* All around the fringes of colored society, churches, and hot-air congregations, they just ain't talk about much but Trotter's visit to the White House, and his three-ply, double magazine nerve in telling the President right to his teeth, that segregation was enforced, and that the race opposed it. There will be many a copy of The Guardian sold today to see what Trotter will say, and, take it from me, a lot of Bee's will be sold, too, 'cause people will want to know what Big Bill Chase will say on the subject. \*\*\* I heard the other day that there is prospects of some of our social queens starting a Cat Fanciers' Club. Take away that dope, if you please. However, a cat is a pretty nice thing, after all, whether she bolls along on four legs or two. I've seen a lot of two-legged cats in my time, and seen them with a lot of fine feathers on. Every town has its quota of two-legged cats, and little old Washington ain't so far behind in the procession, either. Fact is we have too many of them here, and could spare a few to Hoboken and Alexandria. But this club ain't going to familiarize itself with two-legged cats. It's going to take an interest in the four-footed, purring kind, according to the dope I get. Now I know a few old bachelors around here what will become charter members in a cat club if given a half chance, and some of them have been contributing members of the cat industry for several years. With a cat fanciers' club, whist clubs, poker clubs, etc., this old town will sure get on the map this winter so far as chocolate society is concerned. *** Once in a while, I said I like to hand somebody a bunch of roses, for something good they have done. Now there is Mrs. Betty Francis, for instance, there is no telling how much good she has done in her work for the Y. W. C. A. She, by sticking to that institution, nursing it like a mother nurses her habe, unloosened a lot of sunshine what has poured into some poor colored girls' lives. And she has been instrumental in finding a pound or two of encouragement for some who thought they were all down and out. Somewhere there is a crown being burnished up for Mrs. Francis for the many years she has devoted to trying to make the Y. W. C. A. a thing of reality. The wonton of this town ought to get behind Mrs. Francis and lend her a hand. There is just as much need, and more, of a colored Y. W. C. A. as for a colored Y. M. C. A. But somehow there is a lot of us who think if we save a few off-colored men we have laid up a lot of treasures for ourselves, and there is no use taking no accounting of colored girls. Come on, you people, help Mrs. Betty Francis in her noble work, and make the colored Y. W. C.-A. something to he proud of, and something that will make old St. Peter open wide the celestial gates for you just because you was connected in building it up. According to my way of thinking, that was a raw deal the Board of Excise handed out to Moses Dade. Mose always ran a good clean place, and no gentleman had any compunctions about entering it. Just why the Excise Board should deny him a license I can't figure out. Mebbe it was be- cause he was down on Peny Avenue—just a little too prominent for a colored man to be located, perhaps in the mind of the board members. Well, we have to put up with all kinds of throw-downs under this administration, but there is comfort in the fact that the November elections showed this administration is within two years of the shoving off place. NO JIM-CROW GOVERNMENT. (From the N. Y. World, Nov. 13.) No President ever suffered more from the foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet than has Mr. Wilson. He had a further illustration of it yesterday in his unfortunate interview with a delegation of Negroes who called at the White House to protest against the segregation of races in Government departments. The bad manners of the chairman of the delegation, however deplorable, are no justification of the policy of Jim-Crow government which certain members of the Cabinet have established in their departments; and, as the President well knows, insolent conduct is not confined to the members of any particular race. The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying their color-line theories into democratic government. Mr. Wilson told the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the Negro clerks, but explained that "he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races, and not with the object of injuring the Negroes." The President failed to explain, nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered necessary until Mr. Burleson and Mr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet. For nearly half a century white clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington under Republican and under Democratic Presidents. The World keeps itself fairly well informed about Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. Wilson refers was when Mr. McAdoo began his Jim-Crow proceedings in the Treasury Department. The President thinks that this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating and un-American in government is certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States Government are servants of the United States Government, regardless of race or color. For several years a Negro has been Collector of Internal Revenue in New York. He never found it necessary to segregate the white employees of his department to prevent "friction;" yet he would had quite as much right to do so as Mr. McAdoo had to segregate the Negro employees of the Treasury in Washington. While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few Southern members of the C have been allowed to exploit petty local prejudice at the c: of the party's reputation for justice. Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation rule was promulgated as a deliberate discrimination against Negro employees. Worse still, it is a small, mean, petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow government the moment it was established. He ought to set his heel upon it now. It is a reproach to his Administration and to the great political principles which he represents. Some enterprising colored men of Barclay, Ill., a small town about ten miles from Springfield, have recently purchased a coal mine and put it into active operation. They have organized themselves into a company which has been duly incorporated. Benjamin Barineker, was born a slave in Maryland in 1731. He constructed the first clock that struck the hour, in America. He became an astronomer and published an almanac adapted to the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, the first almanac published in America. In Africa the natives have to pay for their wives. He-huys the bride from her parents for sums ranging from $5.00 to $100, according to the beauty and station in life. The natives are mostly Mohammedans, and as their religion permits them to live in polygamy, they are privileged to keep more than one wife. His School Report: "What did they say to you?" asked little Harry's mother, after his first visit to the new Sunday school. "The teacher said she was glad to see me there." "Yes?" "And she said she hoped I would come every Sunday." "And was that all she said?" "No, she asked me if our family belonged to that abomination." HILLSDALE. Miss Marion Anita Berry, who is teaching near the District line in Maryland, was delightfully surprised on her return Saturday evening last by a jolly littl gathering in honor of her birthday. Those present were Misses Bratton, the Misses Howard, Misses Ross and Miss Shaw, Mr. Lawrence and Allen Jackson, Mr. Lemon, Matthews and Layton. Toasts were given by Mr. Allen Jackson, who responded to D. C. N. G. of the High School. Mr. Lawrence to the Howard Medical School, Mr. Lemon, Howard University; Mr. Taylor, Pharmacy, and Mr. Matthews on the Shoe Business. The ladies gave musical selections. Dr. and Mrs. Shipley granted the use of the reception room in Douglass Hall for the occasion. Miss Berry is their niece. The Texas Commercial Film Company of Houston, Texas, is endeavoring to enlist the financial co-operation of the leading colored men of that community in a project to produce three-reel film, depicting the progress of the Negro race in that section of Texas.

ABLE TO WITHSTAND IN THE EVIL DAY The Present Scripturally Designated "the Evil Day"—A Time of Thorough Testing—Special Trials of Faith and Obedience—Difficult to Stand—Need For "the Whole Armor of God." Thousands Falling on Every Side. Philadelphia, November 15.—Pastor Russell preached today at Nixon Theater from the text, "Take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand" (Ephesians 6:13). He PASIOR RUSSELL PASIOR RUSSELL Only those who have learned the meaning of the Apostle's words concerning the right dividing of the Word of Truth, only those who have learned from the Scriptures that the Divine Plan is a progressive one, in which successive ages form links, can understand why Divine Providence should permit peculiar experiences, trials, etc., upon the Church at one time, not permitted at another. Would that all Christians would awake to a proper study of the Bible—to see the object of the Divine dealings with the Jews during the Jewish Age, with Christians during the Gospel Age, and with the world during the Millennial Age. They would see that the Scriptures show that there is a seed time, a sowing time, and a harvest, a reaping time, with each Age, which when it has served its purpose passes away, giving place to another Age and a different work. In the end of the Jewish Age, for instance, there came to that people a peculiar slifting and testing, while John the Baptist, the last of the Prophets, was preaching; namely, a winnowing of the wheat, a separating of the chaff preparatory to the gathering of the wheat into the garner of the next Age, the permission of trouble to come in the chaff class, which utterly deyed them as a nation. milarly, in one of His parables threw 13:24, 37), our Lord tells us in the end of the Gospel Age there be a separation of wheat from s, the former being gathered into glorious Kingdom for which we "Thy Kingdom come," and the being consumed as tares, though as individuals. The destruction of a tare, an imitation Christian, will signify that the person thus posing as a Christian, drawing nigh unto God with his lips while his heart is far from Him, will cease to make such profession. Thenceforth the true Church will be recognized in its peculiar position as "the very Elect" of God, a Little Flock who follow in the footsteps of the Master, gladly sacrificing earthly interests for the attainment of Heavenly ones. Thereafter, as the parable shows, these will shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom for the blessing of all the families of the earth, including the tare class, who will be no longer deceived or decelvers in respect to their true position, but be privileged with the remainder of mankind to come into full harmony with God. "In the Evil Day." We have not the necessary time today to examine the various Scriptural evidences which indicate that we are now living in this particular period. Many of you have our STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES, in which this subject is fully presented. We must content ourselves at this time by pointing to some of the outward demonstrations that we are in the time which the Apostle designates "the evil day." Throughout the Scriptures this period is most dramatically set forth as a time of thorough testing, a time in which the separation of wheat from tares will be most absolutely accomplished, so that not one grain of wheat will be lost or one grain of tare preserved with the wheat. It seems difficult for the majority of people to think that they should be in the midst of fulfilments of prophecy. If we were telling that these things would take place within a century or within a thousand years, many more would be ready to investigate and to acknowledge the force of the arguments. But familiar with the conditions, the trials, the perplexities of our day, many shut the eyes of their understanding to the very remarkable condition of affairs in the world. As St. Peter predicted, many in our day are suggesting that all things will continue as they have been from the beginning of the world. The Apostle also declares that this class are willingly ignorant (2 Peter 3:25). Indeed the majority do not desire knowledge. Imbued with the spirit of the world they desire money, pleasure or fame. To say the least, the majority of professing Christians are careless, indifferent to what the Lord has caused to be written for their admonition, encouragement and assistance in this evil day. Such are not of "the very Elect" The latter, as St. Paul shows, will not be in darkness that that Day should overtake them as a thief. (1 Thessa lionians 5:1-6.) They will be earnest, watchful, standing fast in the faith. Therefore, using the means the Lord has provided, they will receive the special reward, while others by neglecting their privileges mark themselves as unworthy the great favor which the Lord is now dispensing to the Little Flock. We will not say that they will not have opportunities in the Great Company that will come up out of great tribulation and stand before the Throne, instead of being in the Throne. —Revelation 7:9 14.15. Mark our Lord's declaration that the trial of our day would be so critical, so crucial, that it would deceive if possible "the very Elect." (Matthew 24:24.) But this will not be possible; for the Lord has promised them assistance, and they will be in the attitude of heart and mind to seek that assistance and use it. Mark how the Lord through the Prophet David foretold the special trials of this time, picturing the various devices of Satan—Spiritism, Higher Criticism, Christian Science, Evolution, etc—as pestilences and arrows. He tells us that a thousand shall fall at our side, ye, ten thousand at our right hand—amongst those whom we consider most favored and, in some respects at least, as our friends in the Lord. Then the reason is given why the very Elect will not fall under these pestilences and arrows; namely, "Because thou hast made the Lord, even the Most High, thy refuge and thy habitation, no plague shall come nigh thy dwelling." What to others will be a stone of stumbling will to this class be an assistance, in that they will climb upon it to still higher personal development and character-likeness to the Lord. All things must work together for good to these because they love God truly, sincerely, above self or any other creature, and because of their faithfulness to their covenant of consecration to him.—Psalm 91. A Divinely Provided Armament Note again that our text applies to the Harvest of the Gospel Age, which it calls un evil day—a day of trials, testings, etc., upon the Lord's people for the development of those who love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, and their neighbors as themselves, and for the demonstrating also of those who have been only lukewarm in their love of the Lord and of the brethren, those who have been overcharged with the cares of this life or with the deceitfulness of riches, and so overtaken. Much in harmony with Psalm 91, our text indicates a need for the armor of God, a difficulty in withstanding the assaults of this evil day, and the fewness of those who will eventually stand. The Apostle's exhortation is that we take the whole armor—not merely the shield of faith, not merely the helmet of salvation, not merely the breastplate of righteousness, not merely the Sword of the Spirit, not merely the sandals of preparation, not merely the girdle of Truth; but all of these. We shall need all of these if we would be able to withstand all the assaults to be expected in this day. Alas, how few seem to realize the importance of this armor which God has commended! Their difficulty is the result of not knowing the time in which they are living, not being sufficiently awake, not being sufficiently zealous to search the Scriptures and to put on the armament therein provided alone. Why God Will Permit It. St. Paul, writing to the Thessalonians, foretold this evil day in which we are living and in which so many will fall because overcharged with the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of earthly riches. He tells us that the trials of our day will come from the great Adversary, not because God will be unable to prevent Satan from bringing these deceptions and tests, but because He wills to permit the Adversary thus to prove and sift the professed Church of our day. In order that all may be confused, deceived, stumbled, who are not at heart loyal to Him. After telling about the workings of Satan that are to be expected with great power, signs and lying wonders, and with all decelerableness of unrighteousness, the Apostle explains that this is permitted "because they received not the love of the Truth." He adds, "For this cause God shall send them strong delusions, that they should believe a lie, that they all should be condemned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness"—in untruth—2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. Many tell us that it makes no difference what we believe—truth or falsehood—that it is by our works that the Lord will determine our standing. But the Scriptures forbid this thought, and assure us that no one of the fallen race can have works that would be pleasing to God. In his words last quoted, the Apostle corroborates all the teachings of Scripture respecting the value of the Truth to God's people. In this connection mark the Master's words, "Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." Mark also His prayer to the Father in behalf of His followers, "Sanctify them through Thy Truth; Thy Word is Truth." The Lord has provided His Word, and from time to time has used instrumentalities for the unfolding of its meaning to those who are in the right attitude of heart to receive it. But He has also permitted errors, falsehoods and lying wonders to stalk about, though never to the extent permitted in this evil day. This is because now He desires especially to use these errors to accomplish a testing, slitting, separating work amongst His professed people, in order that the improper faiths may be manifested and may be destroyed, that the true faith may shine the more brightly, and that ultimately the professors of that faith may be glorified with their Redeemer in His Messianic Kingdom. Let Each Examine Himself. In view of the Apostle's words respecting the love of the Truth, it behoves each one to examine himself to determine whether he loves and serves a creed of the Dark Ages or a denomination and creed of modern times, or whether his love and devotion are simply to the Truth presented to us in the Divine Word. We may deceive others, and we may even to some extent deceive ourselves; for, as the Prophet declares, the heart is exceedingly deceitful. But we cannot deceive God. If in the Lord's Providence the Truth comes to us, and we get some glimpse of its beauty in contrast with the hopelessness of error, a test is upon us. If we reject the Truth because of its unpopularity, and hold to the abominable error because it is popular, we are thereby tested. On the other hand, if we receive the Truth and rejoice in it, but because of its unpopularity we hide the light under a bushel; concealing it in order thus to shield ourselves from the opposition of darkness, we may be sure that our action will be displeasing to the Lord, who seeketh not such to be His Elect. He puts His Word on a parity with Himself, saying, "He that is ashamed of Me and My Word, of him will I be ashamed 'when I come in the glory of My Kingdom." This is what St. Paul refers to when he speaks of those who received not the Truth in the love of it. Whoever receives the Truth in the love of it will to the best of his ability and judgment show it to others at whatever the cost may be. Thus he will be proving himself to be a child of the Light, a child of God; and he will be saved. But whoever seeks to save his life—to save earthly interests by hiding the light, or falling to acknowledge it, publicly—will surely find his course injurious to himself. Like the Hypocrites of Old. We have already pointed out that the Scriptures liken the influences at work in our day undermining faith, consuming it, destroying it, to a pestilence which is in the very air and which lays hold upon all whose systems are in condition to be inoculated with the poison. I must elaborate this point; for the evil influences by which we are surrounded are so subtle, so deceptive, so all-pervading, that the majority do not recognize them. Let us look the matter squarely in the face. It is necessary for the Lord's true people to know the facts. As for others, they are so stupidly asleep, so thoroughly intoxicated with the wine of Babylon (Revelation 18:2), that we have no hope of arousing them. Ever since this evil day began—forty years ago—this pestilence has been going forth. Today every college, every theological seminary throughout the entire civilized world, is teaching what is commonly known as Higher Criticism—although the proper name for it would be Higher Infidelity—infidelity amongst the high ones of all Christendom. These Higher Critics are doing exactly the same work that Thomas Palne and Robert Ingersoll did, only that they are carrying on their work on a higher plane—appealing not to the gross, to the vile, but to the refined, the intelligent, the truth-seeking. As a result, their influence is a thousandfold more injurious. Those to whom Palme and Ingersoll appealed were very rarely Christians at all; hence they destroyed very little faith—they merely made the unbelief more rank and foul. But these Higher Critic infidels of this evil day are making use of all the vast machinery of Christendom in all denominations, especially through the theological seminaries, to undermine and overthrow the faith of all who have named the name of Christ—great and small, rich and poor, cultured and ignorant. It is being done systematically—craftily, deceitfully, in a manner that the masses of people would scarcely credit. It is safe to say that fully four out of every five who are graduated from theological seminaries, of all denominations, are Higher Critic infidels, who have been instructed that their main business is to promote morality amongst the people, especially to build up Churchianity, particularly their own denomination, and gradually, stealthily, craftily, to wean the people from the faith of the Bible to their Higher Criticism dogma. And they are succeeding most wonderfully. A "pestilence" is the only figurative expression which really fits this pernicious influence. "Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee," saith the Lord; and in harmony with this statement we find that in the Lord's Providence these Higher Critics are more and more telling on themselves. But the nominal Christian is quite obtuse; and many of the true Christians, as the Apostle explains, are merely "babes in Christ," unable to use the strong meat, of the Word.—Hebrews 5:12-14. Christianity is not merely an acceptance of the fact that Jesus was born and that Jesus died, nor is it an acceptance of merely the moral teachings of Jesus. Christianity is the acceptance of the fact that mankind are sinners, that Christ died for our sins and rose again on the third day for our justification, that through Him we have redemption and forgiveness of sins through faith in His blood. Who ever has lost this faith in Jesus' blood has lost his relation-bipl to true Christianity; and the sooner he and all mankind know it the better for all concerned. Whoever does not believe in Christ's Atonement work is not a Christian. As many of you are aware we have devoted an entire volume of my scripture studies to this subject, under the title "THE AT-ONE-MENT." A Thought for the Week.—"While folks are talking war and getting alarmed over its possible outcome, we are conducting a most vigorous campaign to increase our debit from $6,000 to $10,000 per week. Our agents have caught the spirit of the campaign and the new business they are turning in each week is most encouraging."—Mr. T. K. Gibson, Manager of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Co. The Nashville Boosters' Club, a colored organization of that city, chartered a train and carried about one thousand people over to St. Louis. The object of the trip was to "Boost Nashville" and to advertise its many advantages as a place of opportunity for colored people to live. The educational and commercial advantages were impressively described by charts and circulars. "Thoughts and Hints on Insurance" is a department conducted by Supreme President T. S. Thigben, of the Industrial Toilers of America, a colored fraternal organization, for the Weekly Times of Hattiesburg, Miss.

Normal School No. 2, Georgia Avenue and Euclid Street, has been named Myrtilla Miner. Myrtilla Miner was a noted educator thirty or forty years ago, who devoted her time teaching the colored race. Her school was known as the Miner School, located at Seventeenth and Church Streets, and formerly occupied by the Normal School.' The sanitary kiss, by Dr. W. F. Snow, secretary of the American Social Hygiene Association, has suggested that if people must kiss, let them kiss through a square of tissue paper that has been prepared in an antiseptic bath. Bees have taken possession of the loft of a church in Nodaway, Iowa. Their buzzing interferes with the services. The women of the congregation have their hats and dresses spoiled by the constant dripping of honey through the ceiling. Hermits still live solitary lives in mountain caves in Italy. They number about nine hundred and ninety. Among these recluses there are sixteen who are over ninety-five years of age and three centenarians and the others have passed the half century mark. A growing demand is being realized through a gentleman in New York, who has just provided means with which to erect a modern, up-to-date veterinarian hospital at the Tuskegee Institute. Plans for the building are being prepared and it will be erected within a few months. "Patrick, you were on a bad spree yesterday," said a friend reproachfully. "Yis, sor, I was that," replied Patrick. "Bless me, if I wasn't laying in the gutter wid a pig. Father Dunn come along an' looked at me, an' he says, says he: "One is known by the company he kapes.'" "And did you get up, Patrick?" "Oi did not, but the pig did." The best three things for a man to seek: Reverence, for that great source from whence he came; Work, for the world wherein he finds himself, and Knowledge, of the realm towards which he goes. Ostrich farming is still a profitable pursuit in the United States and is carried on on a large scale. One farm in Southern California has 2,000 of the birds. The chief duty of the keepers is to have the creatures in a happy state of mind. As long as they succeed in this, everything goes well, and each spring there is a rich crop of plumes. A Thought for the Week.—Now is the time to begin planning for the Christmas trade. On account of the war, America will not be able to import toys and novelties from Germany and France. Thus we must depend upon the American manufacturer for our Christmas gifts: The colored business man should make his plans now to take advantage of this condition and he should not forget the Negro manufacturer. Negro dolls may be purchased in Nashville, Overton's toilet articles from Chicago, and Patterson buggies from Greenfield—just think of the thousands who can be made happy from these factories if our business men push their goods at this time. Then don't forget those splendid books by Negro authors. They are so appropriate as gifts. A large number of colored people were employed as demonstrators during the recent Edison Electrical Exposition which was held at Grand Central Palace in New York City. The Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis has inaugurated a night school where barbers, bootblacks, porters, janitors and flatmen are instructed in their line of work.

Men and Women Bible Class. The great contest between the Young Ladies’ and Young Men's New Movement Bible Classes of Met- ropolitan A. M. E. S. S. which has been going on since the first Sunday in October, came to an end Sunday, November 15. The heavy downpour of rain that continued all morning blighted the hopes of the partisans of both classes and prevented the attend- ance of the hosts of visitors expected. Both classes had invited numerous Sunday schools and Sunday school classes, but only a few representatives were able to be present. Metropoli- tan Baptist, Shiloh Baptist, and Plym- outh Congregational were represent- ed. Despite the rain each class turn- ed out in large numbers and put forth mighty efforts to win. When the smoke of battle cleared away, the Young Ladies’ Class emerged as win- ners, they°having rolled up 4,560 points to 3,425 for the men, making the total of each at the finish, Ladies, 11,505 points; Men, 10,365.
