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. XXXVIII, NO. 1 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1917 AMONG OUR FRIENDS Ex-President Taft Criticised—Republicans More Inimical than Democrats—Taft and Tillman Compared. The death of Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio means that another link in the chain of the Negrost friends among the good white folks has been broken. Here was a friend, readers of the Bee, who dared to stand up in the United States Senate and fight for the rights of our race when he well knew that such a fight meant his political death. The death, then, of the great Senator Foraker should be mourned by every colored man and woman of our race. And here are many flowers, sprinkled with tears of sorrow, to lay upon his grave. And when we think of the loss of our dear departed white friends there comes to our mind the doings of those who pose as our friends but, in reality, are our worst enemies. Senator B. R. Tillman, of South Carolina, done our race much harm. But he it said of the Senator that he is not a hypocrite; he is not a lying preacher; he is not a rattle snake, makes it to let you know where he is. But not so with many of our so-called republican friends. There are some republicans who have done us much harm. And chief among them is that ex-president Wm. H. Taft. Taft has done the colored race far more harm than Senator. Tillman has done. While a few-may listen to what an ordinary man may have to say against you, the world stops and listens attentively to what the President of the United States has to say against you. And, speaking of this damnable segregation and discrimination against the colored race, this present administration is simply howing to the line marked by by former President Taft. And yet there were thousands of colored voters, led by their deceiving leaders (who were for self interests only who yelled that they were the victims of William H. Taft. They seemed to say: "President Taft, you gave us hell during the past four years of your Negro-hating administration; but you didn't have the time to give us enough of it. So we'll do all we can, Mr. House, to keep you in the White House in order that you may give us more of it." But kind Providence intervened and Taft's mantle fell, in part, upon a more humanitarian. We fear that we too often overlook the many good things that are being done and said in behalf of the race by well meaning influential white friends. Let us not forget to give honor to whom honor is due. And while passing along the gifts of honor we know of no white friend who is more worthy of this precious gift than the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of 214 West 34th Street, New York City. Here is a gentleman who, by his pen, has done our race much good. And I am quite sure it's an oversight on the part of the Presidents of the famous Bethel Literary Society that that gentleman hasn't been honored with an invitation to deliver an address before the intelligent audiences that pack the church in search of brain and heart food during the seasons of its meetings. Though we may be sleeping in our graves are the beginning of the next opening of the Bethel Literary Society, permit us to suggest that Mr. Joseph C. Manning be the next speaker for that occasion. He is more than worthy of the honor. He is the great cruel war is on, the pools of great cruel men are being tried. We note the fact that the Sage of the Potomac, the trenchant writer of Public men and things in the Bed has in a figurative way saved some of our patriotic colored men relative to going to war; and he threatened to keep it up until he finds one who is not found wanting for the manly courage. Sorry the Sage overlooked himself, for every man is expected to do his bit, etc. As to the colored Pastors of our churches here, we really know of none who tries to show his patriotism and to uphold the loyalty of his race more than the Rev. S. P. W. Drew. D. D. We know of no minister in this city who can get closer to the Senators and Representatives in Congress than Dr. Drew. And we venture to say that more of the Senators and Representatives are spoken at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, of which the Rev. Dr. Drew speaks more than any other church in this city. As a rule whenever a Senator or Representative is wanted to address a colored audience here it requires a huge committee to wait on them in order to secure their services. But Dr. Drew seems to be a committee of one thousand composed only of himself. And generally gets by himself what it takes scores, of others to get. We honor such preachers, and the members of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church are the race allie, should be proud of such man as Dr. S. P. W. Drew. We doff our hands to any minister or ministers who seek to have the interest of the race at heart. The good that the Rev. Dr. Drew is doing is too little known, we fear, and we may in a subsequent letter say more about him. When the first ship leaves our shores for the great war in Europe, some good Negro writer of note should be on board. The future generations of our race, to say nothing of the present, want a true history of the bravery displayed by the black boys, but they will never get it from the pen of the white writers of that world wide war history. So some brave Negro writer of note should go, Whom shall it be? We would be glad to suggest the name of Mr. W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Bee, but his work and worth on this side of the little pond is absolutely indispensable. He can serve his race better here. Then, too, when the Germans got in hot pursuit of Uncle Sam's boys the Bee editor might not be able to trot fast enough to keep out of harms' way. So we would fall to get a good account of the brave black boys from him. But there is the Sage of the Potomac, T. Thomas Fortune, R. W. Thompson, and O a goodly number of the noted writers to say nothing of the great historian, Prof. Kelly Miller. Any of the above named should go and be willing to go without being drafted, to write a true history of the bravery of the colored boys to be handed down to the little ones yet unborn of our race.

W., now located at 1911 Ninth Street, N. W, with W. A. Adams as president, will hold their closing exercises on the evening of June 6th, 7th and 8th, 1917, in their spacious parliors, which promises to eclipse any former closing of Mr. 'Adams' school. Miss Gladys Powell, favorably, known in the city, and Mrs. R. Dudley, a most promising pupil, will appear in vocal recital; and the Misses Wilhelmina Craig, Louellen Jackson and Irene Johnson, with others, will perform on the piano. Editor W. Calvin Chase of the Bee will deliver the annual address on the closing evening when a splendid program will be rendered, and certificates conferred. Attendance will be limited by patron, cards issued to pupils only and those issued by the president to select guests. The Conservatory has enjoyed a most successful year with nearly a hundred pupils enrolled in seven departments. The Summer term commences on June 14th, 1917 and the Fall term on Sept. 17th. The Voice department is among the most thorough taught in any music school of color in the country, extending through four years with a diploma. MRS. BELVA ANNA LOCKWOOD. By Mary Curtis, Pd. B. On Tuesday, the twenty-second instant, the body of Mrs. Belva Anna Lockwood, lawyer, lawsuffess, club woman, pension attorney, Christian temperance worker and a Christian in the broadest sense of the word, lay in state from ten o'clock A. M. until one o'clock, P. M., in Wesley M. E. Church. My association with her in business prompts me to pay a tribute of respect to the officer of Mrs. Belva Anna Lockwood. No woman in America has so successfully blazed the way for the rights of women in business and otherwise, as has Bolva Lockwood. Her pioneer work was one of labor and love. Many were the jeers and scoffs which she received championing woman's cause but she never tired. She possessed great faith and hope and was ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand to any people, regardless of class, creed or race. Her true Christian spirit made her lose sight of race. She would work as ardently for a colored client as she would for a white client. She believed that no people could reach its zenith, when it kept another group of people at its nadir. Her first wood was the first woman to be admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. Her success as a lawyer is a matter of record. Her success as a lecturer in known not only in the United States but in Europe. I became intimately acquainted with Belva Lockwood in 1907. She wanted some typewriting done in a hurry and she sent word for me to come to her office. She gave me the work with explicit directions for its execution. After completing the work I carried it to her office. It was entirely satisfactory and from that time on I got the bulk of her work. In order to show her sincerity, courage and integrity, I refer you to the following incidents: Some, women of her club called on her one day and asked her to employ a young white woman as her typist. Mrs. Lockwood replied that she had a good young colored typist and she saw no reason to make a change. Some time after that, a young white man called on Mrs. Lockwood, and she saw no free of charge as a typist. She made him the same reply. Nothing could move her from what she knew was right. She listened attentively to the opinions of others but always had her own convictions which she held to with dogged determination. Her influence ramified every sphere of life. From no person in this city, have I received more inspiration and courage than I received from my contact and acquaintance with, Belva Anna Lockwood. Her influence no longer no measure when I lost my mother and she stood ready and willing to do anything in her power. The funeral services at Wesley Church were simple, but beautiful. The Scripture lesson consisted of the 90th Psalm and a part of the 15th M. B. Watch For The Greatest Offer ever made by a Colored Newspaper. Proposition Underwritten by a big State Company chapter of Paul's letter to the Corinthians, Dr. Anna Shaw, President of the Woman's Suffrage Association paid her a beautiful tribute; also Bishop Hamilton, Dr. Martin and her former pastor. Her Christian life was as sincere and earnest as her public life; always in her seat at church, even when her physical frame was weakened with infirmities. Her work is done, but her influence will live as long as the world stands. "Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" Like a fast-fitting meteor, a fast-flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a break in the wave. He passes from life to his rest in the grave." WAR DEPARTMENT, Office of the Provest Marshall General. Washington, May 29, 1917. The following official announcement is made to the office of the Provest Marshall General. Misapprehension exists as to Question 12 on the registration card. The questions read "Do you claim exemption from draft (specify grounds)?" The answers to this question are intended to supply the central office of the Provost Marshal General with statistical data upon which a rough estimate may be made of the approximate number of persons who will claim exemption. At present there is no other source from which this information may be obtained. The answer of "Yes" to this question does not exempt one from draft; and the answer of "No" is to making a claim for exemption later. All who desire exemption may claim it before the local exemption board, irrespective of the answers made by them to Question 12. Attorney Jones Speaks "How Labor may be Dignified," was the subject of an address delivered by Attorney Thomas L. Jones, of the District Bar, before the Woman Wage Earner's Association, on last Sunday afternoon at 704 Tea Street, North west, at 4 o'clock. Mr. Jones is a very pleasing orator, and his address was enjoyed by all. He commended the Association in the highest terms, and offered it his moral and financial support in the future. OUR GREAT OFFER. The Bee's great offer could not appear this week but will next week. This part of the business of The Bee will be under the exclusive control and supervision of Miss Agnes / A. Adams, one of the most accomplished young ladies in this city. Don't fail to read The Bee next week. THOMAS WALKER, ESQ. The sentiment of the country is that Attorney Thomas Walker be named the successor of the late Bishop Alexander Walters on the Board of Teachers of Howard University. Mr. Walker would be a great personal help to this institution. He is known throughout the country and his financial standing. No other man should be selected. It would be a wise selection. It is significant that on the evening Assistant Superintendent Rescoe Conkling Bruce was announced to speak before the Mu-So-Lit Club, 75 per cent of the membership remained away did not wish to hear him. This is especially cruel, in view of the fact that more than half of the Mu-So-Lit clientele are school-teachers and daily associates of Mr. Bruce, in an official capacity. It is stated that the Board of Education and the Church of our Father are to lose that valiant defender of civic righteousness and sturdy Christian reformer, Rev. Dr. John Van Schalck, fr. The report goes that he is to devote his entire time and energies to the work of the Red Cross, which he has long been actively identified. The duties which he is to take up will probably carry him to France, where he will direct the labors of a massive host at the front throughout the war. Dr. Van Schalck's place, here can scarcely be filled. He is one of the few men in public life who are absolutely frank and open in their dealings, and who count "honesty first" the mainspring of official conduct. Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pirchback will be tendered a banquet this evening on the 80th anniversary of his birth. The first Separate Battalion, District National Guards, under command of Major James E. Walker, is still guard duty in a highly acceptable mannequin and now in the national cap. The State War, and naval Building, the filtration plant near Howard University and points about the bridges of the city are being carefully looked after by these gallant soldier-boys. New recruits are coming in daily and there is a hope that the battalion will be expanded into a regiment. The four companies will furnish two men, each or eight all told, for he officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. Howard University, on account of war conditions, closed this year without any formal commencement. Diplomas to graduates are being sent by mail. A number of class functions and college musicals enlivend the closing days of the season. The baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Rev. Charles Wood, pastor of the Church of the Covenant. The trustees are meeting this week. The sundry civil bill, carrying Howard University's annual appropriation, is yet to issue from congress, enacted into law, but no apprehension is felt as to its ultimate passage. President S. M. Newman, Prof. Kelly Miller and Prof. George W. Cook are entitled to the gratitude of the race for their strenuous efforts in behalf of the colored officers' training camp. It is believed their prompt tender of the Howard University grounds and their ready rebuttal of all opposing arguments won the day for the camp movement. The Colored Rifle and Drill Company, organized among the employees of the Treasury Department, through the generous encouragement of Secretary McAdoo, is making admirable progress. Under competent instruction the "rookies" are rounding into form and are becoming quite proficient in the manual of arms and foot movements. At a recent meeting Robert P. Rhea, of the office of the Register, was elected captain; W. W. Hall, of the stationary division, first lieutenant; W. B. Gardner, of the Chief Clerk's staff, second lieutenant. Other officers will be elected later. A triumph was scored by the company in securing the use of the drill hall and armory of Dunbar High School, together with the rifles of the High School Cadets. Drills are held regularly every Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the school armory, which is more satisfactory than the previous meetings just after officers hours on the monument grounds, when the men were hungry and tired. The registration is now about 100 and will increase since better facilities can be offered for military tactics. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS, MD There was a packed church in Fairmount Heights, Sunday, May 20, on the occasion of Madame Hackley's visit. It was undertaken by this distinguished lady, under the auspices of Mrs. Martha Trammel, who never parts to succeed when she undertakes to do anything. Mrs. Trammel, in a neat little address, introduced Madame Hackley saying among other things that Madame Hackley was a woman who believed in helping humanity. "She is a woman of ability who has succeeded wherever she has gone." At the conclusion of Madame Hackley's address, Miss Burrell, a graduate nurse of Preedman's Hospital, rendered an instrument solo; Miss Bertha Payne rected. Miss Mabel Cambell and Mrs. Irene Jackson, Messrs. Greenberry Holmes and John Johnson-rendered vocal solos. At the conclusion of the program the invited guests returned to the residence of Mrs. Trammel, where a fine collation was served, such as these two host and hostess are able to serve in style. The success of the entertainment was due entirely to Mrs. Trammel. Mrs. Rosina Corrothers, of West Chester, Pa., in company with Mrs. Granges, is visiting her sister, Mrs. M. Clinkewilles, of 1222 Lincoln street, northwest. GENERAL - ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY Changes Plans of Reunion for June Sixth on Account of Abandonment of Commencement by the University. Owing to the fact that Howard University announced the elimination of all Commencement functions for this year after the Baccalaureate Sermon which was delivered on the 20th inst. the Executive Committee of the General Association met on the 22d, and convaded the situation from every angle as to the advisability of attempting to hold the Reunion, for which extensive preparations had been made, in the abandonment by the University of the, the Commencement program of which the Alumni Reunion has heretofore formed a part. It was the concensus of opinion of this Committee and so voted that the Reunion for this year would not be held. It was also a statement of fiscal affairs of the Association for the year would be mailed to every member. The active co-operation of the increased number of local alumni associations throughout the country had given up hope that this would have proved the banner year in bringing together the alumni, and the committee was reluctant, in view of these assurances, to make the announcement until it felt that it was justified, since the Commencement season was selected for the Reunion on account of those out of the city being enabled to include both functions in their visit, and the further fact that the economic conditions growing out of the war conditions which would make such attendance precarious. It is hoped by the committee that at the resumption of another year of University work, with continued interest of the alumni, that conditions may become so favorable as to allow a greater reunion than we might have had in the time which remains till the next commencement. THE TRAINING CAMP War Department, The Adjutant General's Office. Memorandum.

To the Editor of the Bee: Well, another horrible lynching has taken place in the South which is a nice inducement for the colored people to remain in that God-forsaken end of the world. If the South is the best place for the colored people, then it stands to reason that hell is the best place for sinners and all this preaching against it should cease at once. That's all I have to say about it, at the present except to add that it is up to the colored people to assert their lives by impregnating by the tens of thousands from the South. Leave brother, Leave! Get out of that God-Forsaken den of lawless savages! They are but detriments to civilization. J. C. CUNNINGHAM.

Entered at the Post Office at Wash ington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. In our last issue we named the thirteen cardinal business sins of our people; ending with the assertion that, there are amongst us too many self-seekers and grafters who prey upon the unwary. This is not a sin peculiarly characteristic of our whole race. It is rather the practice of an undue proportion of individuals amongst us. If the ratis of grafters to nongrafters among the whites is 1 to 100, it is among our people probably 1 to 25. This is one of the "marvelous strides" and distinctions of which we are not to be proud. It is an evil that should be one of the most ready of correction. It is one of the very first steps of our business house cleaning. Book learning and contact with the wealthy and cultured Caucasian races have stimulated in our folks many tastes and ambitions which they have not the means to gratify. Simultaneously, possibly incident in part to the same causes, not a few persons of sharp wits have resolved to avoid, as if some unclean thing, ordinary manual labor and personal service,—this though it so happens that there are few other legitimate occupations that are open to them. The inevitable result is a tendency to idleness, flimsy schemes, sharp practice and grafting. In this city may be witnessed from time to time numerous schemes designed in the interests of the promoters only—schemes that have no solid basis whatever. They often take the forms of clubs, councils, leagues or societies whose ostensible aims are mutual benefit, mutual protection, insurance, ready relief, burial, to beat the other fellow to it or simply social pleasure. Typical names are the United Brothers of Friendship, the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten and the Mystic Shrine. Then there are the Boolays. Probably 90 per cent of our adult population are "jiners" and supporters at great financial cost of hundreds of worthless societies that suck their blood and waste their time. Of the numerous societies and schemes it is very often difficult to distinguish a small few that are in members, or to distinguish among that small few those that are scientifically and economically managed. It is a notorious fact that as insurance utilities are far more expensive than the standard industrial insurance companies (themselves far too expensive), and that they are far less safe than those companies. It is even more notorious that as utilities for savings they have very questionable merit. The real beneficiaries are the officers—"well fed, well-clad, well housed, the parasites of the earth." Institutions of these classes, next to the churches and standard secret societies, constitute the main bulk of the "big business" of the colored people. Not a few of our college graduates are assuming or soaking leadership in these vaporous enterprises. What a prostitution of talent! Thus tempt the enticement of ease, the fascination of finery, the lure of luxury. So work the delirium of distinction, the contempt of the commonplace, the mummery of the mysterious; and so the pander of self whips up the pursuit of pickings and the jockeying for jobs. Our men of talent are becoming a typical class of job hunters. They neglect to study the fundamental principles that are the foundation of wealth—the laws of industry and trade, the combining of, capital, the compounding of money. Hence their business knowledge and activities are superficial and petty. Hence for business above a very low grade we have few experts. Travelers and anthropologists tell us that Africa is a hot bed of secret societies. Those societies are not designed for general racial progress but to promote the supposed interests of special groups and to oppose the progress of other groups: They are at constant war or head-hunting. They are not bonds of general union and progress, but are agencies of dissention and disunion. America is an uncongenial clime for the spirit of the Cammorra, and it will never take deep root there. True community progress is seldom to be promoted by secrecy, never by mystery, never by pure selfishness. In America progress must must depend primarily on Labor and its proper husbanding of the fruits of Labor. We must toil and build in the open. There is no mystery about it. Let the petty schemers, eliques, and soft-job hunters be damned. The Bee will not rest until these vaporous societies are purged and transformed into a working adjunct of a local or national Commercial exchange, or until every one of them is rendered inocuous for evil. They cannot face deserved contempt and ridicule. What are the faculties of our colleges doing to expose and correct these false economies? Has not the time arrived to teach our youth something else besides the teaching profession and other so-called professions? We think so. The time has now come to teach something else equally fundamental. Let this be a suggestion of a new field of morals and education worthy of their attention. But we can not wait on the colleges to take the lead. It is proverbial that college faculties do not take the lead in great reforms. They follow. And so we see the kind of "big business" the negro has been doing in the last fifty years. There is a demand for a big business of another sort. The demand comes from the masses themselves. We hear the mutterings on every hand, at every turn. The term "our leaders," has come to be one reason why the Bee is advocating the establishing here of a Commercial Exchange to teach a big business of another sort. It will be established by the plain common-sense people. The leaders in it will be workers, not mere orators. They will require special training. The Commercial Exchange will provide means to teach them, for the Commercial Exchange will be a university of business. One of the very first steps of the Commercial Exchange should be to expose the leeches and grafters, brand them, and cast them out of the temple. AN UNJUST ACT. Some people in this country are not happy unless they have put their feet upon some poor helpless colored citizen. The colored citizens of Anacostia are about to be deprived of their two parks; these parks are in a colored settlement but there are a few white people in that section a long ways from both parks, who have filed a protest with the commissioners against granting lice to either park for sociables or picnics or any other kind of public amusement. The citizens in that section of the city have some rights that ought to be respected. The Bee is of the opinion that the Commissioners of the District will not take from the colored people parks to satisfy the prejudices of a few people who have made all of their money from the colored people in that section of the city. It is said that those who have filed the protest with the commissioners, were the associates of the colored people in that vicinity several years ago. The Bee will not be surprised to hear of a protest being filed with God, objecting to the souls of colored people entering heaven, no matter how pure and religious they may be. Let the colored citizens in Anacostia sign a petition and send it to the commissioner by a committee of representative citizens, and in that petition set forth their grievances. Let there be action at once. RACE RIOT. The colored citizens who were sent to St. Louis, Mo., to work and were shot at by crookers should teach corporations in this country that colored labor is safer today than imported labor. The colored man can always be depended upon. Of the colored man is wanted let him be political. SECRETARY McADOO. The colored people in the Treasury department have the most implicit faith in Secretary McAdoo. They say that our secretary is one of the best men in this administration. A few days ago Mr. Richard Green was recently appointed to a clerkship by Secretary McAdoo, and he succeeded in having Harry Reynolds, a High Shool Cadet, appointed to a messenger position in the Treasury Department. This is not the first time Mr. Green has assisted worthy young colored boys and women in bettering their condition in the Treasury Department. Secretary McAdoo is the only secretary of the treasury who has ever taken a personal interest in the advancement of colored people. OUR THIRTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY. The Bee enters upon the 39th year of its existence with this issue. Preparations are being made as fast as possible to give its readers, an anniversary edition: The Bee, as the world knows has had a rocky road to travel. With the loyalty of its friends and patrons has succeeded in overcoming many impediments. The editor extends his thanks and gratitude to his many friends and admirers, white and colored, high and low, rich and poor. Its mission has been to defend the right and condemn the wrong. If any mistakes have been made, they were unintentional. If it has offended any, the editor begs pardon, and offers his apology. Let the nation unite and pray to God that discrimination against and segregation of the colored race forever eliminated from the American body politic. DIRECTOR RALPH. Director Joseph E. Ralph, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, who was opposed by labor organizations is now. said to be the greatest man in the world. He has not only the plaudits of all labor organizations, but he has the confidence and respect of the administration and the American people. The poor men and women find in him their friend and benefactor. He knows no man by the color of his skin. The Bee congratulates this great director and may he receive his reward on this earth and hereafter. THE BEE'S GREAT OFFER. Full particulars of the Bee's great offer will appear next week. Owing to the inability of the management in getting the cuts, etc., it was impossible to have it appear this week. It is the greatest offer that has ever been offered by a colored newspaper. OUR POOR TEACHERS. Let the teachers alone and strike higher up. There is the trouble. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS By the Sage of the Potomac. The sage continues, to interview the advocates of war to ascertain just advocates of war to ascertain just what they mean. I met Dr. Freeman, one of the signers of the Communication to the President offering the services of the entire medical staff. "Well Dr," said the sage, "do you intend to go and I read in the Bee some time ago where the entire medical association had volunteered to list," "Well you see," said the sutra dentist, "we offered our professional instruments. Perhaps you didn't quite understand the letter. There is the difference." Leaving Dr. Freeman, we chanced to meet the tall pine of D street, who is the same size that Gus Cain is. The evasive barrister, attorney W. C. Martin, I have in view had but little time to answer. "Do you know," said the legal philosopher, I number of cases in the equity court that demand my attention and presence, and I am certain that the court would hardly excuse me to go to the front." He also argued that he had passed the age limit and until the drafting brigade reached it he would continue to stand and encourage all other patriots to go and defend the honor of their country. Dr. Warfield, who is at the head of Freedmen's Hospital was one of the signers. I have fully come to the conclusion that the doctor can readily be spared to render any personal service that his ambition leads him to perform. After interviewing the entire medical staff at the hospital, it was ascertained that he was within the walls of the sick house than to venture out in the opening. Their motto is "Safety first." What has surprised me is the silence of Lord Founteroy. The president of the board of education has great faith in him, so it is said. Perhaps so, but he will have another thought coming to him shortly. I venture the assertion that if it were put to a vote of the schools, and assure the teachers that they will be protected, the vote will be in their favor. Dr. Thurston knows that a change is absolutely necessary—and the sooner it is made, the conditions of the colored schools will be improved. Speaking about the war recruits there are many who would rather remain at home. Judge Hewlett, in a speech a few editions ago declared that every man should volunteer his services. He remarked that he presented himself to the war department but what he was offered was refused. He declined to be an ordinary soldier, but what he did want was brigadier general, and if he couldn't get that he would decline to volunteer. I have not met whether he was made职位 to be admitted to training camp as yet. Perhaps the Judge thinks that he has training enough. Dr. S. L. Cormothers has given up the idea of going on the firing line. It is rumored that he would be made the traveling financial agent of the A. M. E. Zion Church. In this position the doctor will urge the young men from twenty to go to war. At present, he has passed the age limit and quite likely he will be reached when the next call is made. I wonder what has become of the patriotic orators? I don't hear so much of their stories. After the boys have been trained for the army, wonder if they will be selected to command? A new colored regiment will no doubt be, organized then, the new commanders will come to the front and show their valor. I saw Professor W. A. Adams a few days ago and I asked him if he had the war spirit instilled in his body. "Well," said the great composer, "I have been so busy preparing a new death march, entitled 'After the War is Over.' You may think it strange," said he, "but you must remember that individuals at this time and during this crisis have a pet "hobby." The government has a "hobby" the Germans have a "hobby" the composer of music. Liberty' bonds is the Government's "hobby;" submarine is the "hobby" of the Germans. This new march will surpass any march now in existence, said the wizard of music. "This will of course prevent me from going to the front." Manager Byers of Howard Theatre was compelled to transfer his guardianship of the bachelor's sweethearts to a person whose spouse has no conscientious scruples. This responsibility will be too much for hubby, so says the mistress of the house. It is a contract that Manager Byers will not be permitted to enter into, in view of the many hundred recruits who visit the theatre daily. If Vinson Thomas decides to commit the unwise and quite likely he will not, the responsibility will be transferred to him. But Vinson has his mind full now. He is getting down to hard tacks and from all indications, he will no doubt be baptized shortly, which will change his religious proclivities. GRAND LECTURES. Awake!

STATEMENT BY THE NATIONAL CHARITY CLUB, INC CORCORAN STREET-OLD FOLKS HOME (Successor to Interstate Old Folks Home) located 1512 Corcoran Street N. W., Washington, D. C., under new management of the Club.

Though the assistance of his friends he soon secured work and saved his money, and soon started business. He opened a store in Chester Court, his business grew fast and he found that he would have to seek larger quarters. He opened a store at Ninth and Florida Ave. N. W., where he is doing a thriving business. In the mean time Mr. Katz bought six city houses; located in various sections of the city. Two in Montello Ave. N. E., where he conducts another large grocery store; twelve people; four of them are colored. His grocery arees of the best, and reminds one of Center Market. He is kind to everybody and is quite a favorite with the children of his customers. This place is no doubt one of the best in the city, you should visit his market and be convinced. NEW MOVING PICTURE COMPANY. The Kor Mar Picture Producing Corporation of Baltimore, now comes to the aid of the Colored Theatre throughout the U. S., and will present for him a visually series of high class Movie Features in three and Five Reels, made with an all star cast of Colored Players. For weeks a body of young Colored People in the City of Baltimore, have been undergoing the most rigid training under the supervision of the Ker Mar Director, and at last have mastered the principle requirements of the Movie Actor, and will start work at once upon the making of their First Feature. The thought lying behind the formation of the Colored Company is a very good from the money making standpoint. There are hundreds of Colored Theatres in the United States, yet no one has realized the advantage of this theatrical field, and presented this race with pictures of its own kind. Here the Ker Mar will supply a long felt want. Principle among the Ker Mar Plays, will be found a Serial Story of twenty reels released in ten chapters, known as "The Haubted Million." This serial photo play is the equal of, and the superior of many of the White Serials. Its production will entail the expenditure of a great number of dollars of the proceeds will number over five hundred people, all Colored. "The Negro Civilization" will also be started this summer. "The Negro Civilization" will run in theme from the time of the Ancients right down to the present day, showing in dramatic form the accomplishments of the race in all the arts and professions, etc. It is estimated, from the number of letters that the company has received from all parts of the world, that this production will run three thousand hours in Cuba, Central and South America, and nearly five thousand times in Europe. The Company' Studio is located four miles from the City of Baltimore, and comprises about twenty-one acres of ground. It will be the policy of the company to use the writings of well, known Colored writers; several works by well known Colored people are now under going the process of being "Picturized" at the company offices in Baltimore. Mr. S. H. Dudley, the great theatrical producer, and the editor of "The Bee," have purchased stock in this company, William Clifford, and Mr. Charles E. Lane are interested in this company, which should be sufficient guarantee that this is one of the greatest race productions. Dan Cupul has been very busy on 13 st. near U. Wedding bells will ring very soon. Watch! Wait! Wait and listen! The members of the Wm. Floyd Garrison Chapel, Junior Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. are still doing good work. These little ones are continually receiving praise for their noble efforts. PATRONS WHITENER AUTHORIZED SELLER NURTURE AND CARE OF SKIN AMERICAN MEDICAL CORPORATION ATLANTA, GA DR.

BURLEIGH Gets the Spingarn Medal—Many Distinguished. People Present. The third Spingarn Medal was awarded here last night to Harry T. Burleigh, the distinguished composer of songs, at a meeting in the First Congregational Church held under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Moorfield Storey, of Boston, the national president of the Association, presided; the presentation being made by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States Senator from Washington The Spingarn Medal is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor; the candidate being chosen by a Committee of award which includes Bishop John Hurst, of Baltimore; Hon. William Howard Tuff; John Hope, president of Marehouse College, Atlanta; Dr. James H. Dillard, the director of the Slater and. Jeannes Fund; and Oswald Garrison Villard, of the New York Evening Post. Their choice is not limited to any one field, whether that be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other; so the winning of the Spingarn Medal has come to be the greatest distinction which can be conferred upon an American Negro. The medal is of gold of the value of one hundred dollars, and is donated by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, the chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia University, at present in training for his J. H. Major's commission at Madison Barra major N. Y. Harry T. Burleigh, the winner of the medal for 1916, is a composer whose songs have for two or three seasons past been sung by a list of prominent singers which would make any composer's mouth water, from John McCormack to Kitty Cheatham. One song, "Deep River," has probably appeared on more concert programs es during the past season more times than the work of any other com temporaneous composer; and across the ocean Burleigh's "The Young Warrior," with words by the Negro poet, James Weldom Johnson, translated into Italian and orchestrated by the great Zandonal, has become a sort of patriotic anthem of the present war. Mr. Burleigh's compositions include about a hundred songs, a ew festival anthems for church chorus, and a volume of plantation melodies which he complied in the effort to save them from falling into oblivion. The small group of songs by which he is best known include "Deep River" "The Grey Wolf," to words by Arthur Symons; a superb setting of Walt Whitman's "Ethiopia - Saluting the Colors"; "The Soldier"; and "Jean" "The Five Songs of Lawrence Hope;" writes a critic in the Boston Transcript of March 10, "probably represent Mr. Burleigh's best work. Here are haunting melodies, accompaniments rich in detail, yet not overwritten, striking bits of delineation and much skill in the wedding of music to words." Regarding "The Soldier," A. Walter Knauer in Musical America wrote: "Wars produce a mass of inconsequent tail literary and music stuff. The present European conflict is no exception. But I think that this Brieghle setting of Rupert Brook's inspired lines will be among the important art-products of the Great War when the record is made." And these creative achievements have necessarily been snatched from a life of routine musical toil by which Mr. Burkleigh has earned his daily bread. Since 1894 he has been soloist in St. George's Church, one of New York's most aristocratic congregations; and for seventeen years he has sung at the Temple as well. sung at a concert. These achievements become doubly significant when one realizes how Mr. Burleigh has worked his way forward almost without aid, handicapped by color as well as poverty. It is related how Mr. Burleigh as a boy in Pa., contracted pneumonia from standing in the snow outside the drawing-room window of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell, where his family was in service, in order to hear Rafael Joseffy play; and was given a chance to open the door for the guests when later Teresa Carrono played at the Russell home in consequence. Working there as a stenographer, until he was twenty-six, in 1892 he came to New York and out of 500 applicants was given a scholarship, in the National Conservatory of Music, where he studied for four years. By teaching singing during his last year there together with assisting the Secretary, the mother of the well know American composer, E. A. Mac Dowell, he was able to liquidate his indebtedness to the founder of the institution. During one summer he worked at a hotel in Saratoga in order to make enough to carry him through until the following Christmas. But when in 1894 the young musician, standing upon the threshold of his career, secured the position of solstict at St. George's in competition with sixty other applicants, his path became much easier. His talent for interpretation of his own folk song soon became widely known and he was in demand to sing in concerts and in the musical programmes of the leading mansions of fashionable New York and elsewhere. The achievements last year which won Mr. Burleigh the Spingarn Medal are but the mature fruitage of a long life of consecrated labor. life of conscientious This is the third year the medal has been awarded. The first was presented to Dr. E. E. Just, of Howard University, for original researches in biology, Governor Whitman making the presentation in New York. Last year the Governor of Massachusetts presented the second medal in Boston to Lieut-Col. Charles Young of the Tenth Cavalry, U. S. Army; for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia. WAR DEPARTMENT AUTHORIZES TRAINING CAMP FOR COLORED OFFICERS. The Result of United and Persistent Effort by Howard University Students and Many Distinguished Citizens—Regarded as The Greatest Opportunity For Negroes Since the Civil War. On Saturday, May 12, the Secretary of War authorized the establishment of an Officer's Reserve Corps Training Camp for Colored Officers for the new Federal Army. The decision, which came as the result of a united and persistent effort by students of Howard University and many distinguished men and women of both races is regarded by qualified opinion as the greatest opportunity for Needs since the Civil War. grows stronger. The establishment of this camp marks a radical change in the policy of the American Government. For years and years the Colored men with a few exceptions have been excluded from holding official positions in the army and navy. West Point and Annapolis have been practically closed to them. One colored man after another has sought to secure training offered to other classes of American citizens, but no amount of democratic argument or political influence could convince the administration of the justice of such an appeal. The war, however, has brought a new situation; a new crisis faces the country, and when conscription passed, the question immediately arose, how can the colored men best serve their country? Shall they stand on the abstract theory of equal rights, or shall they with common sense meet a practical situation for the advancement of the race and the welfare of the Nation? Already fourteen camps have been established for the training of white officers. The War Department has officially declared that it would be impractical to admit colored men to any of these camps, which would mean that the thousands of intelligent colored men in the United States would be forced under conscription bill to serve as privates with little possibility of opportunity to rise above noncommissioned officers. Loyal to the cause of the colored people, believing in the principle of equality, but at the same time realizing that obstinacy is not firmness, when the government refused to open the camps to all citizens alike, a separate camp was sought as the next best thing for securing officers. Dr. Joel S. Spingarn, who has devoted his tine, money, and influence to the welfare of the colored people initiated the project, and as Dr. Spingarn himself was recently called to camp the movement was taken up by the students of Howard University. Located at the seat of the War Department, these students, supported by the President, Deans, and Faculty, quickly organized committees, enlisted every colored college in the country through the dispatching of telegrams and delegates, and within ten days over 1500 men of college grade signified their willingness to enter the camp. In addition the aid of Sonator Chamberlain, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, and scores of other members of Congress were secured; the colored Y. M. C. A. all over the country, the Young Women's Red Cross Unit of Howard University, and the Committee of 100 Citizens, of the District of Columbia were brought in to the movement. Headed by the Central Committee of colored College Men, organized by Howard University students, all these influences being brought to bear on the War Department and the establishment of a camp for the training of colored officers was authorized last Saturday. The colored people ever ready and willing to serve their country have been kept out of official positions too long. The time has come when he should occupy a place in our army and navy similar to that which he occupies in other spheres of American life. And it is believed that in effecting the training, and equipping of one or two thousand officers, the Central Committee of colored College men has brought about a movement that will not only add to the brilliant records of Bunker Hill, San Juan, and Carrilin, but will make the colored people in truth and indeed, a fundamental part of the national life in the United States, a partner in the fight for a world democracy, established colored leadership, on a stronger and firmer basis; bethe accusation that the colored people are fit for nothing else but a subordinate, and pave the way for greater and higher things. CHILDREN IN WAR TIME. Child. Labor in Warring Countries. Child Labor in Warring Countries. "The experience of war time has only demonstrated the necessity—technical, economic, and even physiological—of the labor laws enacted before the war. In our legislation secured in time of peace we shall find the condition for a better and more intense production during the war." These words of M. Albert Thomas, the French Minister of Munitions, illustrate perfectly the official attitude of both France and England after two years of emergency exemptions for war industries according to the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of labor which has just completed a brief review of all available reports on child labor in the warring countries In France and Eng., earlier standards of hours are being restored, not only to protect the health of the workers but for the sheer sake of industrial efficiency, present and future. In Italy, the Central Committee on Industrial Mobilization has taken steps in the same direction. In Russia, a year before the revolution, a movement was under way to raise the age limit for children in Industry. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, in spite of the great armies of men they have sent to the front, have maintained their labor standards with little or no variation. Victoria has slightly increased the amount of overtime which may be permitted to women and children in special cases. On the other hand, Manitoba has reduced its legal overtime. No change whatever in restrictions on women and child labor is reported from New Zealand. The Children's Bureau sums up as follows the child-labor situation in France and England: France, after almost two years, of war time exemption by which children under 18 were allowed to work at night in special cases, restored the night-work prohibition for girls under 18 and provided that other night workers should be subject to medical supervision. The reason for this is indicated not only in the statement by M. Thomas, quoted above, but again in the following extract from the French official Bulletin des Usines de Guerre for July 91, 1916: YOUR FIRE POLICY. Have You. Read It Carefully? Do You Understand It Terms? William Hardwick, Melville's leading grocer, was a man of forethought. He carried fire insurance both on his store and his residence. The policy applying to his store he kept in his house and that applying to his house and its contents he kept in his safe at the store. Thus in the event of a fire in either property the policy applying to it would escape the flames. escape the One night William Hardwick's slumbers were disturbed by the frantic ringing of the telephone. "Come right downtown," urged an excited voice. "Your store's going up in smoke." When Hardwick arrived the fire was under control, and fifteen minutes later the "all out" signal was sounded. "I should worry," reflected the grocer, after a brief survey of the damage done. "There's about. $6,000 worth of stock destroyed. And, as it happens, I carry just $6,000 worth of insurance." And, leaving one of his clerks to watch the premises, Hardwick went back to bed. "Now, then, Mr. Hardwick," said the adjuster two days later, "my estimate agrees with yours. Six thousand dollars covers all the damage done. That means that we owe you $4,500." means that that?" demanded Hardwick, "What's that?" You owe me $4,500; indignantly "You owe me $4,500; What buno game is this? Why don't you owe me $6,000, the face of my policy?" "Because of the $0 per cent co-insurance clause," explained the adjuster, and he indicated a paragraph in the policy which the grocer had so carefully guarded. "This clause provides that we shall be liable for no greater proportion of the loss than the sum insured bears $80 per cent of the cash value of the property insured. Your stock is, or was, worth $10,000. Had you carried $8,000 insurance we would have paid you your loss in full—that is, up to $8,000. But as it is, I repeat that we owe you but $4,500. If, however, the loss had been total we would have had to pay you $6,000, the amount of your policy. This misunderstanding has arisen, Mr. Hardwick, merely because you have never taken the time to thoroughly read and adjust your policy. "Your carelessness in this regard has cost you $1,500. Mr. Hardwick. I am sincerely sorry for this, but fail to see that you have any one but yourself to blame."—H. J. Barrett in New York World. FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF COLORED DENTISTS OF COLDRED DENTISTS. Tri-State Dental Association at Buckroe Beach, Va., July 4, 5 and 6-Organization Includes Colored Dentists from Seven States. What organization and co-operation can accomplish is evidenced in the remarkable growth of the Tri-State Dental Association and the unusual professional interest manifest in the announcement by the Executive Board of the plans for the fourth annual session to be held at the Bay Shore Hotel. Buckroe Beach, Va., July 4, 5 and 6. Report from Secretary J. Mercer G. Rainsey of Richmond show a most pleasing prospect for the banner session since the Association was organized in 1913 and President D. A. Ferguson, following a tour of three southern States, announces that the increase in attendance from these States alone will be sufficient to the excellent work the organization is promoting. Reports from as far north as Rhode Island show clearly desire on the part of the Colored Dental Profession of the mid-Atlantic States to align themselves with a central co-ordinating body which aims to bring into one compact central organization the members of the different local societies from every State within reasonable geographical radius. Beginning Small, Growth Rapid. The Tri-State Dental Association was organized in 1913 with not more than a dozen or more members from Washington, Baltimore and Richmond. His aim was then, to form a parent organization of the dentists of those three cities. Thru the unsofish and unfiring efforts of Dr. D. A. Ferguson of Richmond, who has been its President since first organized, the Tri-State has so outgrown its name that this year's session will necessitate a change both in name and title to correspond with its growth in member- CONSULT US FIRST ALL KINDS OF PRINTING Linotype Composition Electric Power Presses TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

C., chairman of the program committee indicates that this year's program will eclipse anything presented at former sessions, the clinics and demonstrations and essays coming from some of the best men of the race, and the call of the Executive Committee is that the attendance equal in attendance the character of program provided. A feature of the sessions is the public meeting at Cleveland, Hall at Hampton Institute on the evening of the closing day. the closing of the War Situation Concerns Colored Dentists. President Ferguson recently, thru the Executive Board, sent out an announcement relative to the possibility for national service on the part of Colored dentists under the new army measure recently passed by Congress. He urges members of the Association and allied members of the profession to be prepared to discuss this phase of professional responsibility at this year's conference. The status of the Negro dental surgeon as to both army and naval service, has long been a debatable question. A A WONDERFUL HAIR DRESS One thousand agents wanted.

Baron Goto Says He Hopes Nations Will Find Principles on Which to Base Abiding Relations of Mutual Trust and Confidence—Greetings Cabled to President Wilson. Tokyo, Japan.—"By the participation of the United States in the war our ties are strengthened," declared Premier Terauchi at the first dinner of the recently formed American-Japanese society. He had just asserted that never in the history of their intercourse have the two countries come to such a pass as to endanger cordial relationship, and he went on to say: "We are on the eve of joining our resources in chastising a common and obdurate foe in the cause of world peace. The friendly relations of the two countries should D Photo by American Press Association. PREMIER TERAUCHL. be cemented more strongly than ever by the combined efforts of both governments and peoples." Among the 300 members present were many of the most prominent men in Japanese public life. Viscount Kaneko, ex-minister of justice, presided and the principal speech was made by Baron Goto, ex-minister of communications. Baron Goto said: "There are few questions of such vital moment to the welfare of mankind as the relations of Japan and the United States. The era of the Pacific promises to surpass that of the Mediterranean or the Atlantic. All the forces of the east and west will meet. Will they unite or clash? I believe it lies in the power of the United States and Japan to answer that question, on which the future happiness and progress of the world will depend. For this reason the relations between Japan and the United States are of supreme importance. With the awful responsibility that they owe to mankind, will Japan and the United States work hand in hand or will they turn their backs on each other? I hope the two nations will find principles on which to base abiding relations of mutual trust and confidence." Other speakers were Prince Tokugawa, president of the house of peers; Count Okuma, pre-empler; Baron Shibusawa, chairman of the Tokyo Bankers' association; Post Wheeler, who is United States charge d'affaires at Tokyo; George H.

The working of the attachment is simple and is explained by Poole as follows: "While the car is running fifteen miles an hour a white bulb shows on the radiator, at twenty-five miles a green bulb appears, at forty a red bulb, and when the driver begins to bat 'em out around sixty per a music box under the seat begins to play 'Nearer My God to Thee.'" San Francisco. — Jesse Lilien- thal, president of the United rail- ways of San Francisco, declared that he might be called the man who put the "con" in economy. He stated that five years ago he figured he had enough money saved to keep the wolf at bay and decided not to save another cent as long as he lives. His family hailed this plan, and Lilien- thal asserts they have per- formed their part not to let him be disappointed by finding any surplus on the first day of Janu- ary each year. Postal Card to Your Congressman Will Bring You Abundant Seed. Washington. — The great American game of 1917 is going to be gardening. By midsummer anybody over eight years old who hasn't learned how to raise foodstuffs on whatever land happens to be handy will feel as lonely as a tourist in a foreign land who can't speak the language, says. Relnette Lovewell of the Vigilantes. Villagers especially are interested, and little back yard plots that have hitherto yielded only a dozen or so radishes, a few ananemic tomatoes and a crop of sunflowers are going to be real gardens this year, even if the clothesline has to come down and the hydrangea tub be moved around to the front of the house. Potatoes, turnips and cabbages will be stored away for winter, use and peas, string beans, corn, tomatoes and lima beans canned. Nowadays there need be no worry about the jinx in the jars that used to make fruit and vegetables spoil. The department of agriculture and the state colleges send for the asking such clear and concise directions for successful canning that with the wash boiler and a supply of glass jars ten-year-old Susie can "put up" enough fruit and vegetables to see the whole family through until spring. A little bit of ground in the back yard, properly prepared, planted and tended, will scare Friend Wolf and old Mr. High Cost of Living away from the front door in a hurry. Fruit and vegetables are the healthiest sort of diet anyway, and with flour and "shortening" soaring to unheard of prices, canned fruits make an appetizing substitute for cakes and pies. A postal card to your congressman requesting seeds will bring an abundant supply in the mall, and the experts at Washington are glad to send practical advice about how to make these seeds yield real eatable crope. The great American game of 1917, as we said, is going to be gardening. City of London Alone Serves Million Teas a Day Seven Days London. — One of England's most cherished institutions was menaced with destruction in the nation wide crisis over shortage of breadstuffs. It is the afternoon tea, not the beverage, but the institution itself. Lord Devonport's declaration as food controller that the one meatless day a week had been a failure because of British tendency to replace flesh food with breadstuffs and his warning that rationing might be near unless there was an immediate reduction in consumption of bread and cake brought about the crisis on the afternoon tea question. From the food controller's office it was declared that if everybody in England ate, two ounces less of bread each day the food problem would probably be solved. At least that amount of bread or cake is consumed in England's fourth meal every afternoon. Some bold spirits in England have already been writing to the Times suggesting abandonment of tea, but the idea is revolutionary. London alone serves a million teas a day seven days a week. The trains from Liverpool to London stop at Leeds—for tea—and this despite shortage of cars and power and necessity of speedy transportation. Business houses throughout England halt work for tea. Tea shops every afternoon resemble the morning rush on the New York subway. Lord Devonport's most recent appeal for bread saving declared picturesquely that every loaf saved is as valuable as a shell. BATTLES WITH WOLVES. Pack Attacks Veterinarlan on Lonely Road, and He Shoots. Crane, Mo.-C. L. Egbert, a veterinarian, of Crane, had an encounter with a pack of wolves near Garber. He was driving along a lonely road in a cart when he came upon the wolves, which had just attacked and brought down a yearling steer. Mr. Egbert fired into the pack with his revolver, killing one. The others immediately attacked the horse. The largest wolf leaped on the cart and was shot. Urgging his horse to a gallop, Mr. Egbert drove down the road to a point where he could safely reload his revolver. When he returned to the scene the wolves had fled. He brought the slain wolves into Crane. Wolves have become numerous in the Ozark region again, but this is the first time in a number of years they have attacked a person. Girls Making Own Dresses. Sleaux City, In.-High school girls of this city are designing and making their own dresses at a saving of from $10 to $25 on each gown. All the girls have to pay for is the material. Teaching them how to make the dresses is part of the education given them in the public high schools. When done the girls may either wear or sell them. More than seventy girls are already taking the course, which is in its first year. M. G. Clark, superintendent of city schools, is heartily in favor of the plan. THIEVES IN CONVENTION DEMAND REFORM AID They Seek a Chance to Turn Over a New Leaf In Russia, Petrograd.—A mass meeting of thieves was recently held at Rostoff-on-the-Don to demand a share in the new freedom and a chance to turn over a new leaf. The chief of the local militia and the president and several members of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Deputies were present on invitation. Practically all branches of the profession of thievery were represented, and several of the most accomplished members made speeches in which they outlined the difficulties confronting them and declared that it was impossible to return to honest pursuits without the help and support of the community. The speakers complained that recently the population had risen against them and in some instances went so far as to lynch some of their brothers. Chief of Militia Ralimikoff asked for help and support by the people in aiding the efforts of the thieves at reformation. One of the bystanders complained that he had been relieved of his purse containing 6 rubles. The thieves roundly protested that it was not the work of a professional and took up a collection to reimburse the victim. WOMAN PLAYED HEROIC PART IN THE CIVIL WAR Gave Husband and Sons' and While They Were Away Diligently Cultivated Plantation. Charleston, S. C.—During the first days of that most lamentable conflict that we now know as the civil war a little woman in this state gave her husband and their four grown sons to fight for the cause that to her seemed just. She was not belligerent; she was brave. A few years later a neighbor brought, her word that all but the youngest boy had been killed, says Hapsburg Liebe of the Vigilantes. "You shouldn't have sent them all," said this neighbor. "You should have kept two of those boys at home." "If I had a dozen to send I would have sent them," the little woman replied very readily, very calmly. "And I know that my men went down in their boots, doing distinguished service. You see, I know my men." At the end of the war the youngest boy returned. He was a captain, and not a captain merely by courtesy. As he rode through the old plantation he saw to his intense surprise that it was in a fair state of cultivation and that foodstuffs had taken the place of cotton. He had expected to find those broad acres filled with weeds and brats. As soon as he had proudly greeted his mother and been in turn proudly greeted by her, he spoke of this. "That was my part," she told him. "You couldn't fight without having something to eat: could you?" It was then that he noted the marks of toil on her hands, and he knew that the faithful old negroes had not done all the hard work. He brought his heels together in the military fashion and lifted his hand to the rim of his hat. "Mother," he said, not very steadily, "I salute you, the greatest soldier of us all!" SPRING DIET RIVALS ZEPPS. Substitute For Spinach Kills One, Injures Several. London.—England is badly in need of green spring foods, and all kinds of suggestions have been made, some of which have had disastrous results. One enterprising discoverer wrote to the newspapers the other day that rhubarb leaves, thoroughly boiled, made an excellent substitute for spinach. A coroner's inquest was held over the body of a man who sampled the substitute. Another victim was a preacher, whose family is seriously ill. Similar cases are reported from all parts of the country. READJUSTS NOAH'S ARK. Little English Girl Moved by One Legged British Officer. London.—A small English girl was introduced at tea to an officer who had lost a leg in action. After observing him carefully and thoughtfully she went to her nursery and, returning with her Noah's ark, dumped the menagerie on the floor and proceeded to break one leg off each animal. When she was asked why she did it the little girl replied: "Legs are awfully useless things. The animals all have one too many." Greensburg, Pa.—A recent Monday held the record for hair cuts in Greensburg. On wash day 3,000 men went to the barbers and told them to cut their hair according to certain styles. This rush came through the fact that the barbers raised the price for a hair cut to 35 cents and Monday was the last day for the quarter rate. It is estimated that $750 was paid for hair clipping, with a total of $200 saved to the ultimate cuttees. ```markdown ``` Beautiful Bust and Shoulders are possible if you will wear a scientifically constructed Bien Jolie Brassiere.

Trader Will Take Almost Anything In Lieu of It. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.—Robert Younggreen, a merchant in the little town of Thurman, a trading point in the southeastern part of this county, twenty miles from the nearest railroad point, has a habit of recalling pioneer days. If money is not forthcoming for merchandise secured at the store Younggreen is not backward in accepting substitutes. Coyote scalp, gopher scalp, crow eggs and crow heads are his favorites. A coyote's scalp is accepted as $1, a gopher at 16 cents and crow heads a cent apiece. The county bounty on these pelts and the long distance from the county seat explain the unusual "money" accepted. When Younggreen has a good supply on hand he mails or brings them to the office of the county clerk and is paid the legal bounty, the same value as he has already paid out to his friends. DID HIS BEST TO ENLIST. Patriotic Youth Placed Small Cotton Pad Under Each Heel. Albany, N. Y.—Trying to boost his five feet three inches up to the standard required for military service, Willis Hartman, a patriotic youth from Glenwood, near here, tried a form of elevation that almost got by the United States marine corps recruiting officers here. Willis went through without a flaw until he stripped to be examined for scars, when the doctor discovered several layers of adhesive plaster and a small cotton pad under each heel that gave a "French heel effect" to the would be warrior. When it was removed he lacked one inch of meeting the required height. "I don't want to be a slacker," so I tried my best to enlist," said Hartman when he was rejected. "The scheme would be all right, too," he added, "if I could only make it stick." . REFUSE TO FIGHT. Adventista Declare Religion Bars Them From Battles. Washington—Seventh Day Advotists have notified the war department that their religion will not allow them to participate in the war between the United States and Germany. The declaration adopted by the executive committee of the North American division conference sets forth that, although believing in the principles upon which this government is founded and acknowledging that it should receive the support of its citizens, the Adventists are "compelled to decline all participation in acts of war and bloodshed as being inconsistent with the duties enjoined upon us by our Divine Master toward our enemies and toward all mankind." GIRL NOT LEFT BEHIND HIM. Boldier Said Goodby, but She, In Fighting Garb, Followed. Pittsburgh—Disguised as a soldier in the hope of being near, her sweetheart, Marton Nestor, eighteen, of Woodlawn, rode on the Eighteenth regiment troop train 150 miles before she was discovered. Weeping, she was placed aboard a train for home. Lleutenant Ottman W—Freeborn of Company K, his suspicions excited by the appearance of one soldier, took off the suspect's hat. Long brown hair fell about the shoulders and face of a pretty but frightened girl. Miss Nestor said that when Stewart Walthour, nineteen, of Woodlawn, was called with his regiment she wanted to go too, but he bade her goodby and left. She decided to follow. DR. FINLEY VISITS FRANCE. He Carries Message to Schools of Sister Republic. Albany, N. Y.-The regents of the university of the state, with the approval of Governor Whitman, authorized the commissioner of education, John H. Finley, to make a brief visit to France for the purpose of seeing the schools and observing what they are doing for the nation in war time. The University of France was organized on much the same lines as the University of the State of New York. Dr. Finley is permitted by President Wilson to carry his greetings to the schoolteachers and school children of France and is the bearer of many other messages to those who are doing their brave part back of the line. FARMERS FIRE ON BALLOON. Appeal Made to Stop Practice, Whloh Imperils Army Aircraft, Omaha, Neb.-An appeal to farmers and others throughout this territory to refrain from shooting at balloons was issued by Captain H. J. B. McElgin of the balloon corps at Fort Omaha, who announced that such acts subject the perpetrators to severe penalties. Many balloons are being sent up from Fort Omaha every day for the purpose of training air service recruits. Captain McElgin said shooting at these balloons seemed to have become popular. Sees His First Show Bluffton, Ind.-J. W. Wetrick came to this country from Germany thirty-five years ago, settling at Vera Cruz, a village east of here. In all of this time he never left his home-town until recently, when, accompanied by a daughter, he visited relatives at Wolcott, Ind. On his way home he stopped at Fort Wayne and witnessed a show, the first of his life. He said he enjoyed his first ride on an interurban car and the "sights" on the short journey. Great Day in Martinaburge, W. Va. Rev. Dr. E. F. Johnson's New departure — Editor W. Calvin Chase and Others Greeted by a Large Turn Out of the Leading Citizens—Many Good Speeches—What the People are Doing. Martinsburg, W. Va., May 27, (Special to the Bee) This has been a great day in this historic place. Dr. E. F. Johnson, who has been recently installed as pastor of Dudley Baptist Church, inaugurated a new departure today by the inauguration of Men's Day Jubilee. Dr. Johnson is a young man of ability, having filled several positions in the south before he was called to the Dudley Baptist Church here. He has been pastoring at this church but a short time and today he is recognized as one of the leading and most progressive ministers in this section of the country. Mrs. E. T. Johnson, his most accomplished wife, is a great helpmate to her husband. She is popular with the masses and both are doing great work. The parsonage is in the rear of the church. It is a nice little cottage in which electric lights and water have been recently installed. There was much happiness among the masses the entire day. Day broke with a clear sky and the sun in all of its brilliancy was not darkened till a dark and angry cloud was hidden from view about the time evening services were about to take place and then all was sadness. The rain began to steal quietly upon the poplace, but the church was filled before it came down in anger, the lightning and thunder shattered the nerves of the anxious ones who anticipated a great time in the evening when the speaker of the occasion, Mr. Chase was booked. The storm was not as severe as was anticipated. The rain ceased long enough to enable the ones at home to come to the church. At 8:30 the church was crowded and the entire program of the evening was successfully carried out, with Mr. P. R. Fletcher, formerly of Washington, as the presiding officer. He was introduced by Rev. Johnson. Mr. Fletcher is the son of L. G. Fletcher Jr., of Washington, who has a most amicable wife and is ranked among the leading female workers in Martinsburg. Three sessions of the Men's Rally were held during the day as follows: Program Music—Holy, holy, Male Choir. Devotionals, Conducted by Truistees. Messrs. Jacob Williams and Geo. Jefferson.

T. Johnson. Doctor. Mr. Chase. was the principal speaker at the evening meeting. He was preceded by Mr. Warner T. Carter, a thorough business man in this section. His address was full of good thoughts and he eloquently portrayed the danger of the present crisis which was loudly applauded. The vocal and instrumental music were the enjoyable features of the three sessions. Among other things Mr. Chase said, that he had no apologies to make for what he intended to say and neither had he any favors to ask. The colored Americans in this country, in common with other American citizens have been called to take up arms against a foreign foe. His treatment in this country has been anything but fair or just. The apologists for the race have been expressing their loyalty to the republic for some unknown reason. History will show that the black man has been loyal and true in every conflict in which the country has been involved and his great reward has been the enactment of discriminating laws, segregation, articism and treatment of the most brutal kind, and notwithstanding, he is willing and ready to stand before a foe to his government and the people who are opposing him. It is the duty of this government to pull down every barrier, and impediment that prevents the colored Americans from exercising his civil and political rights. I have argued, although it may seem contrary to sound reasoning, that the establishment of a military camp is but proper to enable those who must fight to be trained in the use of arms. From the days of the revolution to the recent conflict with Mexico, the colored American has been weighed in the balance and not found wanting, but, he can hear the echoes of their innocence. THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers lynched and burned at the stake. Oh! how brutal. I don't blame you mothers from wiping your eyes, so that salt tears may not destroy your sight. This is the encouragement the colored American is now getting, who is, today preparing himself to go upon the field of battle in a strange land to defend the honor and integrity of American liberty. After referring briefly to the necessity of rifle practice to become proficient in the handling of arms, the speaker paid a fine tribute to the pastor, Rev. Johnson, and to the people of Martinsburg, W. Va., white and colored, who seem to live in peace and happiness. The reception tendered Editor Chase by the best people here was most enthusiastic. He was entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Ransom in their beautiful home at 110 W. John Street, and before his departure, after the services in the evening, he dined with the Rev. and Mrs. Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Corsey reside in one of the exclusive sections here. Their garden is among the best and one of the most artistically kept in Martinsburg. Mr. Corsey, a teacher in the public schools of Martinsburg is a man of great ability and ingenuity. The new eight-room brick school house, which is being erected, is managed by Prof. F. R. Ramer, who delivered one of the finest addresses, in the afternoon services, that you would want to hear. He has a stately bearing and he is an educator of ability. Mrs. Corsey, the wife of Prof. Corsey, is also a teacher in this city school and is one of the most accomplished ladies here. ladies here The young men in this section are doing well, and seem to be devoted to the advancement of the place.

All news for this section will be mailed to the office. Have The Bee in your homes—it is the People's Paper. The First Baptist church of West Washington, under the leadership of Rev. James L. Pinn, has just completed its annual spring rally. This historic church has lived up fully to its tradition of being one of the great churches of Washington. Late in February of this year the work of decorating and beautifying the church was begun. Early in April his work was completed making the old First Church, one of the most beautiful church edifices in Washington. This work complete cost over $1,000. There was some doubt as to the ability of the church under the existing high cost of living to raise $1,000 in so short a time, but the First Baptist church has never failed yet to make good and never expects to. It is composed of folks who bring things to pass. So all energies were turned to the end that the amount the pastor had asked for($1,000) be raised. When the smoke of battle had cleared away and monies were all counted it was, found that $1,043,.67 had been raised to date. The various circles of the church did admirably and each circle deserves great credit. Circle "A", Miss Sadie A. Gaskins, aleder, and Circle "B", Mrs. Aramita Harrod, leader still retained the name of banner circles. Circle "A" reported $181.75 and Circle "B" reported $266. 44. This rally enables the church to pay every dollar it owes and still leave untouched a very comfortable bank account SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON. Regardless of the threatening weather on last Sunday a good audience greeted our pastor, Dr. Callis on his return from the Annual Conference. The sermon and services at 11 a.m. was much enjoyed by all present; during the day three persons united with the church. Our Sunday School is still increasing in interest, several new scholars were introduced on last Sunday and it looks as though the afternoon is to be the popular hour for Sunday School. Our first visit from our Presiding Elder will occur on Sunday June 5th. He will occupy the pulpit at 11 a. m.; at three p. m. the Sacramental sermon will be delivered by Dr. W. T. Battle of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, the choir of his church will furnish music for this service. A thorough recorganization of our church will take place in the next two weeks, after which the plans, for the years work will be well in hand and it is hoped and believed by all that the coming year will mean much to Zion Methodist in South West Washington. All of the pastors and ordained ministers of the A. M. E. Zion Church in Washington and vicinity are requested to meet at the home of Rev. Callis, 26 G Street, S. W., Monday, June 4th. at 11 a. m.
