VOL. XXXVIII, NO. 3 A GREAT ADDRESS GREAT ADDRESS BY W. CALVIN CHASE. Columbia Conservatory Commencement A Success—Mias Madre's, Inspiring Talk and Confers Certificates—Music High-Class—Professor Adams Donated a Silver Purse. The Columbia Conservatory of Music, Wellington A. Adams president, held its annual commencement exercises Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings. June 6th 7th and 8th, 1917, in its Studio at 1911 9th Street northwest in a blaze of glory. Few, if any other musical institutions in this vicinity, have conducted a more successful closing with such wonderfully inspiring addresses, better music or more cultured audience and students than the Columbia Conservatory gave to the favored citizens who were fortunate to be present on this occasion. Every institution has its hindrances and enemies, as has this particular one; but judging by what was seen and heard in these exercises, what handicaps it has encumbered served ed only to push this school onward towards the goal of success. The head of this conservatory is an energetic young man who knows no failure. He is an intellectual giant as the late Bishop Turner of the A. M. E. Chuck once styled him, and his musical proclivities are above the average musician, for not only has he received thorough training in both New York and Boston but as teacher and choir director, has done successful work in some of the biggest cities in the country. Besides, he is a musical composer of marked talent. His compositions are already on the market, attest to that fact and as well three of the leading white musical critics and authorities in his country say so. Mr. Adams, we acknowledge with pride, is the only colored man in this immediate section who had nerve enough to open a music store among his race despite the well-known saying that "Washingtonians of color will not patronize their own." Another fact which but few if any of us know, is that, one of the big music houses of New York City very recently sent to Mr. Adams for one of his compositions—which they had recommended to them by a New York white musician, and as a result, it was accepted and he was asked to name his own terms. The public will hear about it later. We mention these few facts to show what manner of man this conservatory has at its head, and Washington at no distant day will acknowledge his fitness acceptably. Back to the closing-exercises again: we said that it had an enviable termination this last term. They are still talking about the surprises handed out each evening, both pupils and auditors; for each evening found the spacious studio differently decorated and arranged; and the number brought surprise after surprise to friends in particular. It rained to be sure but they, who brayed the inclement weather were a thousand times repaid. Surprises are always better when unexpectedly received and this occasion is no exception to the rule. The Recital. On the first evening, Wednesday, the pupils performed nicely on the whole, among them are the Misses Emma Barnes, Gertrude Taylor, Verde Hawkins, Annie Spencer on the piano; Master William Hanson and Mr. Charles Cook on the violin. Master Hanson is the youngest pupil in the school somewhere around twelve years old. His grandmother was all smiles while he played his selection. Miss Powell Sings. The next evening, Thursday, was a big evening, marking the coming out of Miss Gladys Powell in vocal recital joined with piano pupils. Miss Powell is one of or leading school teachers in the city, popular, amenable and intellectual and the fact that she was to appear served to bring out a host of her fellow teachers from different schools, as well as friends. Curiosity added to their presence no doubt as Miss Powell was not generally known as a singer or studying to that effect, but she appeared, beautifully gowned, with smiles of confidence upon her face. She made her bow at the appointed hour and sang, well you should have heard the warm applause that greeted her upon concluding her number. It was cordial, sincere and thorough, for she had conquered "doubts", and sang most acceptably. Her most pleasing number was Rosamond Johnson's "Since you went away", her voice being in excellent color and resonance in the rendition and the classic "Best of all" (Moir, "Me me back" (Denza), "Shawl of blue" (Hewitt) were all rendered most acceptably, the careful training of a master hand was visibly evident in the entire recital. Interplaced between the songs were piano numbers by the Misses Louvilleen Jackson and Wilhelmina Craig, Mrs. Roberta Dudley and Mrs. Rose Carter. Their numbers were alike, most pleasing to all perent. Miss Jackson particularly, having studied less time than the others, showed promise in her playing. Mrs. Dudley Sings. On the last evening, Friday, which was the "big night" over all, was so pointedly manifested the possibilities of the Conservatory in its future career. The platform was arranged splendidly with a back ground of flowers covering the wall, the name of the school above and three U. S. flags entwined above all, with flowers tastily arranged upon the speakers' table and the brilliant electric, and gas light glowing freely. All was set and ready when President Adams announced the opening number by Miss Irene Johnson in a piano number. Then followed Miss M. Whitfield in a reading, Miss Louellen Jackson, piano and Miss Emma Barnes piano in a cross-hand number which was well rendered. The next announced number was the first appearance of Mrs. Roberta Dudley in vocal recital and she won her hearers immediately in a song entitled "Loveland." Mrs. Dudley is a born singer without doubt and her voice charms and thrills like a mocking-bird her succeeding numbers; Dawd" (Tachikovsky) was appealing; "Rose in the Bud" the familiar and popular ballad was sung with great depth of feeling and expression; but in her "September" (Hope Temple) was when she struck the fancy of her entire audience in the artistic and graceful manner of executing this most beautiful song as she swayed her audience to and fro in her brilliant climaxes and smooth flowing passages. She trumphed, thats all, and Prof. Adams deserves great credit for his masterful training as evidenced in her singing. President Presents Speaker. President Presents Speaker. The speaker of the evening in the person of the Mr. W. Calvin Chase, editor of the "Bee" was next urepresented in a short speech of marked tribute and pointed compliments to the speaker by President Adams; who said among other things, that he admired the editor because he was fearless and a "real champion" of his race, that their wasn't an ounce of "sham" in him and that the school was honored in the fact that he condescended to and address them. Concluding his introduction amid applause while the speaker arose, still more hearty applause greeted the gentleman before he could say a word. Editor Chase' Address. In part, editor Chase said: "Mr President and pupils of the Conservatory, Ladies and gentleman: I come to you tonight because I feel you deserve it. I do not feel it a condescension to come here as Prof. Adams has remarked but accord it an honor indeed because I feel that you are doing a splendid work in this community. Prof. Adams has evidenced marked ability ever since he has been in this city and I have watched him closely. He has proved to be a man and worthy citizen and his career here has indeed been notably successful in music. You Prof. Adams, have experienced many encumbrances and enemies have been upon your track but you have pulled through with tenacity and courage of heart and as witness to that fact, here tonight we find the pupils of your school performing with great credit some of the best music I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. As we listened to the excellent technic of the lady Miss Irene Johnson on the piano and hear the beautiful singing of your voice pupil Mrs. Dudley we are constrained to believe that the future holds out to you and your school a wonderful success and a large following. No one could sing such difficult numbers with ease by heart unless they had received good training and your careful work is in full evidence here tonight that all who come may see and hear with pride and pleasure. Nothing can stop you from succeeding and no one person can retard your progress if you continue as you are going. Some people say that a rolling stone gathers no moss but in your case it is different as you are gathering moss despite changes now and then all the more proves your astute ability. I want to congratulate you and my conservatory and promise my heart support in the carrying forward of the work before you all. Music is one of the grandest and noblest Arts of man. It consumes the heart as fire does that of wood and stimulates man to a higher and nobler purpose. It is a part of our very lives and indeed of our civilization, as in these modern days not to have a knowledge of music is a stamp of ignorance almost, among your neighbors and fellow-man. It brings to the home a new phase of culture today. It brings to the church a spiritual atmosphere which otherwise would lax into lethargy. It sends the soldier out upon the battlefield to do and die for his native land, as no other agency known to modern civilization; and, indeed raises man to a higher level of self-consciousness and quiet dignity and soothes his baser instincts into a more refined quality. Therefore, let good music by your watchword and strive all the more to master it, for in it you may find the happiness for which you strive." Applause followed long, and heartily this mastery address. Miss Irene Johnson, piano pupil, next performed the "Poet and Peasant Overture" extending through thirteen pages with remarkable dexterity and a deftness, winning her hearers with ease as she was applauded to the echo for her brilliant performance of the evening. Miss Madre and Mr. Marshall Speak. The "Presentation of Class" was next made in an address that seemed with sparkling thoughts and worthy advice, delivered by Prof. Charles Marshall of the State of Delaware. His address was pointed and made an excellent impression upon the Class as well as the audience. Following which was the conferring of grade and departmental "Certificates" in piano, voice and violin with an address by that noble oratress, Miss Marte A. D. WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1917 E. W. BUNDY. Exalted Ruler, Delegate Elect. WM. N. TOLLIVER. Delegaté Elect. Madre. She spoke too, and what she said went straight to the heart and to the point. First, she paid high compliment to the work of Prof. Adams and said that he was able, efficient and competent to do his work, pointing to his past successes in the states of Massachusetts, New York, Tenn., Florida and lastly in the District of Columbia. She also mentioned the institutions in the North where he had successfully studied and his ability to compose high-class music. Indeed, Miss Madre opened the eyes of both pupil and hearer in the knowledge, manifested of the president's past record and success. Then, she told them of some of her "wise sayings" in which she is so capable to impart and they listened with rapt attention until she had concluded her remarks and hearty applause. She told the students to stand by their music school and their teacher and that the future holds out much of promise to them if they would but work in their school, work for their school and work up their school. She then conferred the Certificates as follows: departmental, voice, Miss Gladys Powell, piano, Misses Louellen Jackson, Wilhelmina Craig, Irene Johnson, Emma Barnes, Mrs. Roberta Dudley, Mrs. Rose Carter, Mrs. E. H. Grace, grade, piano, Misses Annie Spencer, Gertrude Taylor and Verdie Hawkins; grade; violin, Mr. Charles Cook. Miss Randall Presents Purse. At this juncture, Miss Bertha Randal, chairlady of the Committee and a violin pupil, came forward and made the following address on behalf of pupils: "Prof. Adams, fellow pupils, ladies and gentlemen—In every avenue of life we find now and then one who by act or deed, character and reputation, fidelity and trust, wins the wholesome respect of their fellow-man in the upward trend of their career; by sheer force of will power and character, despite barriers of envious taunts and criticism, this one character stands out upon the crest of past successes, on the lofty hearts of musical vision and intellectual foresight, beckoning onward with intrepid faith for them who bid to follow after him; with a garrid wreath of sacred benediction resting gently upon his hearts, touched by his magic influence and inspiring musical genius—our own Prof. Wellington Alexander Adams, artist-t teacher, composer-musician and author-poet. As his faithful and earnest pupils, trusting implicitly in his ability to guide our musical destiny aright in the future as in the past we deem it no less than our right and duty to accord him honor and due tribute for his untiring labors in our behalf during the term now closing. Prof. Adams, we your pupils of Columbia, Conservatory of Music, feel that you have benefited us much in more ways than we may make mention of in these few moments kindly allotted us. Therefore, we extend to you our heart-felt thanks and appreciation for unselfish service rendered us and beg further that you accept this small token of love and respect in the form of a "purse of silver" though we wis WALTER T. DIXON. Delegate Elect HARRY L. TIGNORE. Delegate Elect. it were, gold instore, but, coming from the heart, as it does, we offer it in sincerity with the hope that if may give you fresh encouragement in this deserving work, and shed a little sunshine in your pathway. With these remarks, I present to you this pursue on behalf of pupils of the Columbia Conservatory of Music." Loud applause. Prof. Adams came forward amid applause in surprise and thanked Miss Randall and pupils for their kind remembrance and thoughtfulness and promised to return it to them in service. Mrs. Wormley, who made the Conser vatory pennants for pupils this term, was present and made encouraging remarks, after which the exercises closed with a social and praises upon every lip. Summer term starts June 14. fall term, Sept. 17, at 1911 19th St. Northwest, in ten subjects, selective. We forgot to mention that Miss Randall recited a fine poem entitled "The Black Man's Always in it," taking the house by storm. "THE NATURAL LAW." At the Lafayette Theatre Next Week —Direct from Jts. Recent. Run at. The Theme When God created the world He made a law, and wrote it upon the heart of every man and woman—the law of attraction—sex attraction. Every man and woman has felt the almost irresistible force of that law. The Story. The love of a boy and girl, swept into the current of an adult passion is the story of THE NATURAL LAW. When a girl goes out into the world to make her fight, for success alone, sooner or later she must face some serious decisions. If she is as charming a girl as Ruth Stanley, the pathetic heroine of THE NATURAL LAW, she cannot escape the crisis that is bound to occur when the urging of love and adventurous youth takes hold of her soul. The play is wonderfully interesting, brimming over with tense situations, sparkling with bright lines. It sounds a note of warning that checks the girl about to take the step that leads to the path of tears. Rev. Carroll and Daughter, Mrs. Mar- Mrs. Marion D. Butler, of 1469 Florida ave. northwest gave a reception in honor of Rev. Richard Carroll and his most accomplished daughter at her residence last Wednesday evening. It was a most brilliant affair and some of those to honor the distinguished guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Bloedgett, of Jacksonville, Florida, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Richardson, Rev. and Mrs. Norman, Prof. and Mrs. J. D. Baltimore, Mrs. Bertham Buch, Mrs. Clarence Lucust, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Freeman, Madam Ruffins, Mrs. Addle Clark, Mrs. Milton Green, Mrs. Jennie Pierce, W. T. Andrew of South Carolina, Mrs. Gabrells Pelham and Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Lee, W. Calvin Chase, editor of The Bee. sent a handsome bunch of American beauty roses to Miss Carroll, the guest of honor. VINCINT B. THOMAS. Leaves for the Training Camp—Over Two Hundred of His Friends and Admirers Bid Him Good Bye. Among those who left for the Training Camp, Des Molnes, Iowa, Wednesday morning with fifty others was Mr. Vincent B. Thomas, brother of Manager A. J. Thomas of Howard theatre. There were fully two hundred of Vincent's friends at the Union Station to see him off. He is one of the most popular young men in the city. He is genial and polite to all with whom he comes in contact. He is a native Washingtonian and was born in this city February 28, 1888. He attended the graded and high schools of Washington in which he THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN VINSON THOMAS. Brother of Andrew J. Thomas, Who Successfully Passed a High Examination for the Training Camp and Who will go to Des Moines, Iowa. made a record for efficiency. His mother, Mrs. Rachel A. Thomas, is one of the most venerable ladies in this city, who is the mother of five sons and one daughter, all of whom are competent musicians. One or two are composers of music and love written songs that have won for the family a national reputation. Young Vincent is the favorite of his brothers, he being the youngest boy. As assistant manager of Howard theatre, no young man stands higher in the estimation of the masses of patrons who visit this popular resort. At the Union Station, Wednesday morning, there were many wet eyes and sad hearts to bid one of Washington's favorite sons to leave to prepare for war. He has the congratulations of The Dee. HOWARD THEATRE A change from vaudeville and pictures gives patrons of the Howard Theatre a chance to see a musical comedy in "Broadway Rastus" this week. This play, although bearing the old name, has quite a few changes, including several song hits and amusing sketches. One of the commendable features is that there is no long waits between curtains. During the change of sceneries the audience is kept in good humor by humorous jests and comments on the previous act by one of the company, Irwin C. Mifler, the author of the play, and Henry Jines keep in the spot light and furnish most of the comedy. Both are first class entertainers. The singing of C. H. Davis, Sadie McCarver and Titoe, Pankey was well received and numerous encores were demanded. Esther, Bigon was the principal female character and her work, was well received. The scenic effect was the best yet shown in any play seen here in recent years and the many changes of costumes show that the promoters have not stunted themselves in staging the show. Mention should be made of Leo Edwards and Billy McCarver, as large contributors to the success of the play. All the company deserve credit for their parts either as singers, dancers or just pantomime work. MT. VIEW HOUSE. "Opening." The Mt. View House, W. W. Martin, prop., announces that he opened the House for a Summer Resort. Opening on June 12, 1917. Everything points to a successful season notwithstanding the war. Mr. Mordecal W. Johnson and wife were the first guests named to appear on the Mt. View House register for season 1917. For accommodations or further information address W. W. Martin, Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. FAIRFAX COURTHOUSE, VA., UTEMS. The Sunday School of Calvary Baptist church, here, under direction of Superlendent Bro. Wm. Clark, is making excellent preparations for celebrating Children's Day, Sunday, June 17. Quite a large crowd was out for rehearsal on Tuesday evening. "On to Victory" will also be the cry here. PERSONAL MENTION. PERSONAL MENTION Miss Mary Campbell will be at her aisle on E. Gant 407 B street, southeast, June 24 to July 2 and will be pleased to see her friends. Officers Are Elected at Spirited Contest—E. W. Bundy Again Heads the Order—John Rhine, the New Deputy Presides—Financial Statement of the Lodge. Columbia Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. W. held its regular election of officers and delegates on Monday, June 4, 17 at Pythian Temple. The contest for the positions were spirited, but friendly. John Rhine, the newly appointed District Deputy, presided in such fair and impartial manner that his conduct brought forth round after round of applause and a final vote of thanks. As soon as the presiding officer announced that nominations were in order for the position of Exalted Ruler, Attorney Harry L. Tignor arose and in a short but effective speech, placed the name of E. W. Bundy before the lodge and made an earnest appeal for his re-election. Editor Finley Wilson then nominated Dr. William Jackson for the place and the nominations were closed on the two. Of the 140 votes cast, E. W. Bundy received 123 and Dr. Jackson received 17, and the former was thereupon declared elected to the highest position within the gift of the lodge. On motion, all other elective officers were reelected. These inculding F. P. Williams, Esteemed Leading Knight; R. E. Brown, Esteemed Loyal Knight; Walter T. Dixon, Esteemed Lecturing Knight; Wm. H. Touver, Financial Secretary; Joseph Booker, Recording Secretary; J. N. Anderson, Treasurer; Chas. E. Williams, Inner Guard; James Carrington, Tiler; T. E. Shipley, Esquire; Dr. S. S. Thompson, Medical Director. The trustees are Wm. S. Hall, John F. Ross, John R. Holland, Geo. E. Smith and Harry L. Tignor. After the election of the regular officers, the lodge proceeded to the election of the delegates to the annual convention of the Grand Lodge; to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, during the month of August. Eleven candidates were placed in nomination. When the ballots were counted, it was announced by the deputy that E. W. Bundy, Wm. H. Toliver, Harry L. Tignor and Walter T. Dixon were the successful ones and would therefore represent the lodge at what will probably prove to be one of the most important conventions in the history of Elkdom. E. W. Bundy, who received the largest number of votes in the race for the delegateship, has been Exalted Ruler of the lodge for over three years, and during that time has worked untrifly for the promotion of its interests. The financial condition of the lodge at this time is attributable to esteem in which he is held by the members. Wm. H. Toliver is the Financial Secretary of the lodge. He has held this position for several years and has always kept the financial books of the organization in first class condition. His efficiency in this direction has endeared him to the members of the order. Harry L. Tignor is a trustee of the lodge, and its former Legal Advisor. He is an ardent worker for the cause of eikdom and his election as a delegate is an expression of the high regard in which he is held by the members. Walter T. Dixon is the Esteemed Lecturing Knight if the lodge, and a conscientious worker in the upbuilding of the order. The position held by him is one of the important in the traternity, but he has always performed faithfully. The marked progress of the lodge is not due alone to the work of its leaders, but also to the loyal support which these leaders have received constantly from all the members of the lodge. Were it not for the strong support of the members, Old Columbia would not now be the proud possessor of nearly two thousand dollars in cash. Were it not for the strong support of the members, Old Columbia would not now be the banner lodge of the District. Were it not for the strong support of the members, Old Columbia would not now be contemplating the establishment of an Elk's Home in this city. After all the real credit is due the good and loyal members who have given their time and energy to the work. The trustees of the lodge are now specially engaged in the collection of the finances with which a Home will be started. Shares of stock are now on sale to the members of the order only, and the prospects are that before another year passes the lodge will establish an Elk's Home where visitors of order may be properly cared for and where the members may indulge and recreation. At its regular meeting In May, the lodge authorized the printing of the financial statement, and a copy has been placed in the hands of each member, as well as in the hands of hundreds of friends of the order. A summary of this statement is as follows: YEAR 1915. Total receipts.....$2,099.08 Total Expenses.....1,815.82 Balance in Bank.....247.26 YEAR 1916.

Church, Bishop of Western Africa, and Rev. Dr. Cogins, secretary of the Colored People's Department of Temperance, M. E. Church. Rev. Dr. A.

On Monday, June 4, the Conference was largely attended, the occasion being a special sermon read by Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, president of the Conference and pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, in which the Conference holds its weekly sessions. His theme was "The Devil and Our Temptation to Sin."

Pennsylvania, June 12th.—Last night Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskogee Institute, delivered a stirring address before the National Conference of Charities and Correction, which is holding its annual meeting at the Dixon Theatre here. The importance of the Negro in the economic development of the 'South was revealed in Dr. Moton's comments on migration when he said, "Of the 150,000,000 acres of improved land in the South the Negro had cultivated fully 100,000,000 acres, and of the 13,000,000 bales of cotton produced annually in the South in normal times 8,000,000 of these bales were produced by Negro labor." Dr. Moton's appeal to the Conference was for a better and more liberal attitude toward the colored people of the South. "He said, in part: "The South is seeing as perhaps never before since emancipation the very great economic value of the black man, and is willing and anxious to co-operate with every movement or organization looking toward the development of more efficiency on the part of the Negro. "I hope therefore, that this Conference especially those members from the South will use every opportunity to help our country by making this large and productive element of our population as useful economically and otherwise to their communities, as possible, and the way to do it is by making the Negro happy and contented, and the only way to make him contented is to treat him as an American citizen, bestowing upon him all the rights and privileges enjoyed by the other American citizens, no more and no less; and by given him protection of life and property and the privilege to live, North or South amid decent surroundings; a chance to educate his children and a chance to thoroughly train his leaders. This seems to me the patriotic duty of every American of influence and power. This seems to me to be a wise and constructive program for this Conference, in so far as its activities among my people are concerned, to use every influence which may be summoned to give our race a fair chance. To give these millions of black people in the cabins of the South as well as the alleys of Northern cities, a chance to be educated and the chance to live in a healthy and wholesome environment, and when these people are trained it is our duty to see that they have a chance to work." Your account of the recent banquet given in the honor of that prince of good fellows, Governor Pinchback, amused me very much. I wonder if you were conscious when you printed it, that is a fine illustration of what you said in your last editorial in the Commercial Exchange series on Opportunism. It is a good illustration of opportunism as we commonly witness it among big men. In the same issue the Sage in the Potomac states that the 150 men present were a representative body of men. From all the accounts, we get 150 of our representative men were invited to meet at 8 o'clock Saturday night to do honor to the Governor. The tax was $1.50 a plate. There were to be set speeches. They met about 11 o'clock. The program began about 12 o'clock. The feed consisted of one sandwich and a glass of second rate grape juice. The affair almost broke up in a rough house; one man told me he had to leave for home at 1 o'clock and that the banquet ended at 2 oclock Sunday morning. We pass over tardiness in gathering, the sacrilege of the Sabbath and the rough house. But what about the $1,50 a plate for such a feed. Here is a concrete instance of the opportunism you recently denounced. Over $200 was presumably collected or will be collected. The food probably cost $20; the wine. $20; the hall, $10; the service worth say $15; the gifts say $25; total, at the outside, not over $100. Let us concede that the affair cost $100. What goes with the other $100? We are not wanting of frequent illustrations in Washington of this form of opportunism. This is why the average negro is skeptical and skittish about co-operative movements where money is involved. You made a good point against the opportunist when you said he hates the auditor. He does not welcome an accounting. We are reliably informed that the management of the Pageant held here over a year ago nearly broke up in a row because some of the directors wanted an auditing of the accounts and because the majority did not, and refused to permit it.

The Volunteer Committee that has assumed charge of the promoting of our Commercial Exchange beg leave to announce that they have taken desk room at the Pendleton Building, Room 2, first floor, 1216 You Street N. W. The room will be open to all visitors daily from 6 to 10. p. m., and on Sundays probably from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. There is as yet no organization and there are no officers. It is the desire of the promoters to minimize the personal equation. The movement is still in the preliminary conference stage. As there are no funds at the disposal of the Volunteer Committee, invitations by circular will be sent out; besides it is the desire not to discriminate among worthy citizens in extending invitations to join the movement. Every serious-minded colored man and woman who has at heart the industrial, economic, commercial and social interest of the whole people is invited to come and participate in the organizing of the Exchange. Until the organization is affected, no one will be asked for a money contribution. The room rent has been paid by a public-spirited citizen, who will not seek re-imbursement nor office in the Exchange. The movement is designed to interest and benefit all classes of men and women, and all are invited to assist. Come in and talk it over. VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE. June 11, 1917. Dunbar-Armstrong Base Ball Game. Before a crowd of loyal boys and girls representing the two schools, Dunbar's fast base ball team defeated the Armstrong team by the score of 14 to 6. Both teams played very well. For Dunbar, C. Taylor in his usual form led in batting, getting 3 hits in 4 times up. All other men on the team got 2 hits except 3, all 3 of these got one hit apiece. In the field our team played almost errorless ball, 2 errors being the total for the game. The battery proved the biggest factor in the winning of this game. Eggleston, the pitcher, was in excellent form while Mathews his battery-mate showed up excellently. Eggleston allowed only 7 hits against 16 our secured from Hughes pitching for Armstrong. The star features of the game were Mathew's wonderful catch of fly ball at rear of home plate and the excellent playing of C. Taylor at short.

Norwalk, Coun.-The difference between old time and present day methods of going to war is strikingly illustrated by an order for 600,000 yards of cotton netting received from the government by a lace works here. The netting will be used to protect from mosquitoes the army and navy forces stationed in warm climates. The netting will cost the government about $300,000. The force is to be increased largely and the factory run twenty-four hours a day. By so doing it is hoped to complete the order by September next. TON OF POTATOES-BY MAIL. Diyided Into Small Packages and Thus Sent Forward. Othello, Wash. A ton of potatoes, packed in forty packages, was received by H. J. Tipton in the mail recently. The shipment came from Marengo, and the total postage was $21.60. The consignor of the potatoes is postmaster at Marengo. The office being in the third class, the postmaster receives his compensation from the cancellation of postage, and when he had cancelled the stamps, their value reverted to his salary, which enabled him to deliver the produce at the destination without cost to himself. AMERICAN BRUTALITY. An Appeal to American Fair Play. To the Editor: Very few people can conceive the tremendous impression made upon the mind of loyal Americans of African lineage in this country, and mankind everywhere by the account of that horrible anarchical happening near Memphis, Tennessee, last week. As a cruel and morbid occurrence, no record in the annals of savagery surpasses it. The pitching of innocent babies from bayonet to bayonet, or the tortures of the "Inquisition" seem like child's spanking to the unspeakableness of this horror. Armenia cannot furnish a more gruesome crime against civilization. The Negro, Persons; if guilty, derserved the severest punishment, and were my relative his or any other brute's victim, no avenging pentalty would seem to great, but if each individual is to pay out vengeance, the world would be a veritable hell. If white men in the south could be punished similarly for like crimes, lynching would probably not arouse such inflaming passions in the great heart of the loyal American Black man. To the poor little innocent Negro boy of ten years, who was tied within heat-radius of the human torch and sacrifice, the intended lesson to be taught him and the race must fall. Those thousands Southern ladies and gentlemen who cheered at the execution had no fear when they as infants were cared for by millions of Negroes who proved loyal even to their oppressors prior to 1865, and when all the able bodied Tennesseans and Mississippi march across the plains of France in defence of their country, they will probably not fear the loyalty of the Negro they leave home, no matter how inhuman and un-American has been their treatment. Another angle, suppose Persons were innocent, as two others were proven after mal-treatment, who were impli- cated in his terror-wrung confession! Six innocent men were hung in Georgia last year for helping a friend escape a mob who upon being caught was imprisoned and later adjudged innocent, and exonerated, a white man being suspected, of the murder of another white man. This man could be exonerated, how about the others? The outrage prepetrated at Memphis cries aloud in the voices of twelve million Negroes for justice. If State machinery is too inefficient, then for Heaven's sake let us have Federal action. Let the Negro believe that not alone in the floods and flames that are devastating the scenes of injustice in the South, but the righteous hand of the American people thru its representation at Washington is fighting for his protection. Leading men of the Race have been quickening the fire of patriotism everywhere, radical prejudices of a kind that has set the world ablize in turmoll threatens to make harder their task. Negros everywhere are talking of the lynching of last week. Race riots will be far more numerous if law becomes an instrument to protect one and not the other. Men with far-sighted vision are predicting this the last great war, but in my weak judgment, Christianity, or some more potent religion must develop power to destroy hatreds of races and peoples before wars end. Leagues of nations will fall as they have failed. Let the powerful Press of th's country as a mighty voice of the people of the world awake from its legthargic dream of world wide democracy, and begin the fight for humanity and Justice at home.

President Is Asked to Remove Restrictions so That Members of Race President is Asked to Remove Restrictions so That Members of Race May be Accepted in All Branches. New York, N. Y.—"I know of no law that precludes the Negro citizen from enlisting in the Marine Corps or the artillery, or any other branch other than that unwritten law laid down by militarists in the United States of the German stripe." This sentence in taken from a letter written by Röbert Lewis Waring of this city to President Wilson, urging, on behalf of the 12,000,000 Negroes in this country, that he remove all restrictions that prevent them from enlisting in any branch of the military service. Mr. Waring believes that the President, as commander-in-chief of the Nation's military forces, has the right, in time of war, to open all branches of that service to all American citizens. "Although it may be said," wrote Mr. Waring, "that the Twenty-fourth and the Twenty-Fifth Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry are open to my people for enlistment, Negroes who CONSULT US FIRST ALL KINDS OF PRINTING Linotype Composition Electric Power Presses TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

The United States Senate dealt the first hard blow to whisky last week by knocking out the Cummins amendment to the Espionage bill. This amendment lumped up the beer and wine industries with the distilleries and forbade the employ- ment of any cereal in the production of intoxicating liquor during the war. It was pointed out in the debate that this meant that, there being a three year supply of whisky in the storehouses, while beer is only brewed for immediate consumption, the country would be placed on a whiskey basis and the American workman, deprived of his accustomed mild beverage, would be forced to turn to the bonded poison. Now it is intended that a new bill is to be introduced forbidding the use of the grain that is needed for breadstuffs in the manufacture of spirituous liquors. As Senator La Follette pointed out in the debates over the proposal to stop the making of any sort of intoxicants, the barley that is used in the manufacture of beer is not used to any extent as a human food, which did away with the argument that the conservation of food stuffs was involved. The vote against the Cummins amendment was forty-seven to thirty-seven. It clears the decks for the campaign for legislation that will put whisky in the same class as morphine and opinium and leave beer and light wines in the category of such indulgences as tobacco, which is practically the course taken by both France and Germany.

THEY MAKE PEACE Civilization Follows In Wake of United States Marines.

By QUARTERMASTER SERGEANT C. B. PROCTOR, U. S. Marine Corps. Press dispatches of the present day activities of military men have a tendency to set them forth more as instruments of destruction than as reconstructors and efficient guardians of peace. The Photo by U. S. Marine Corps Publicity Bureau. MARINES IN ACTION IN SANTO DOMINGO. United States marines have been great factors in militating toward perpetual peace among the defenseless people of Haiti and Santo Domingo, who were worn out by years of internal strife. These advance agents of American civilization wanted peace so badly that they were willing to fight for it. "The marines have literally taught the Haitians how to live decently," said the Right Rev. Charles Blayney Colmore, bishop of Porto Rico and Haiti, during a recent visit to the United States. "Before their coming sanitation save in the crudest and most unsatisfactory forms was unknown, fevers and epidemics were as plentiful as revolutions, a press gang was in vogue and the country was the victim of continuous uprisings engineered by political scoundrels, each of whom ravaged the customs money drawer as each in turn came into short lived power. "The entry of the United States marines ended this sorry story. With the wonderful facility and adaptability for which the marines are noted these advance agents of American civilization so changed Haifl that after they had been there four months when I made my annual visitation to the island I Photo by U.

It had been improved beyond my wildest hopes. Sanitary systems had been installed, the towns had been cleaned up, former idlers and revolutionists were working happily for living wages, and a new spirit was animating the people. "I want the American people to realize what a big work is being done. It isn't a pleasant task to teach a people how to "govern straight," and the marine officers and men realize this and yet go at it with stout hearts and high courage. They laugh at the hardships of life. It is their duty, and their motto is 'Semper Fidelis.'" POLICEWOMAN ON TRIAL Gets Out Early With Her Dogs to Follow Fleeing Burglar. Hempstead, N. X.-Mrs. Leo F. F. Wanner, Long Island's only policewoman, got up at 5 o'clock in the morning to chase burglar with her trained German police dogs. She was called early by Robert Vandewater, chief of police, who put Mrs. Wanner on the force and gave, her the right to carry a revolver and wear a star, because he wanted her to aid in catching the early morning burglar. Motorcycle policemen had seen the burglar who had been robbing homes of the rich in Hempstead, Westbury, Garden City and other villages and had a call sent to Meadowbrook Farms for Mrs. Wanner and her dogs. "The lady cop," as Mrs. Wanner is known here, followed the trail for three miles through stubble and thickets and brooks. Finally she lost it in the main street of Garden City. Do Your Own Marketing and Put Family on a Ration Basis. New York.—Every woman can help win the war in her own kitchen, says Ida Vera Simonton of the Vigilantes, if she will read, remember and obey the following "twelve commandments:" Avoid waste and practice the strictest economy. Put your family on a ration basis. Do your own marketing. Select foods of nourishing and sustaining qualities. Serve as many of them raw as possible. Employ vegetable butter at 26 cents a pound instead of ordinary butter at 55 cents a pound. Employ peanut oil instead of lard or other shorteners. Use pulverized instead of ground coffee, brown sugar instead of white and cornmeal instead of wheat flour. Substitute rice, beans and fish for meat, and remember that green bananas baked in the skin are far more nutritious and easily digested than ripe ones. Cultivate every available inch of ground, window boxes included. Practice absolute cleanliness and help keep down plagues and pestilence. Practice absolute cleanliness and help keep down plagues and pestilences. Boycott every dealer who attempts to inflate prices. Number of Vegetables Still Can Be Planted—Late Potatoes Up to July 1. Washington. — With the advance guard of the United States army under Major General Pershing ordered to the front in France, now is the time for the last big drive by the army of the soil that is aiming at a million food gardens this year, says Charles Lathrop Pack, president National Emergency Food Garden Commission. The garden recruits should keep in mind that there are a number of vegetables that still can be planted, and those of you who have not started should do so now. Write to the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, 210 Maryland building, for the free garden primer and then get busy. Navy beans are one of the best late crops to plant on a light soil or on meadow or blue glass that is to be put under cultivation. Lima beans (may be planted as late as June 15. Late potatoes may be planted up to July 1 if the seed bed is in good shape and the seed sound. Sweet potatoes can be grown with success on sandy land. Sweet corn of short season variety may be planted up to July 15, or even a little later. Late cabbage may be set as late as July 1. String beans may be planted as late as July 15. As late as July 11 cucumbers may be planted. Good tomato plants of the short season variety may be planted any time in June. Squashes and pumpkins may be planted in June among sweet or field corn or, if room, separately in hills about eight-tenths of a foot apart. Lettuce grows best if planted in early spring or fall. Late or winter radishes may be sown early in August. With proper watering, however, successive crops of good radishes may be grown throughout the summer. Table beets to be pickled, canned or stored for winter use may be planted in June. Let every garden soldier go to it for food f. o. b. the kitchen door, then write for the canning primer and get instruction on how to conserve the result of your efforts. WAR LESSONS FOR U. S. Chief One to Learn Is to Place Competent Men In Leadership. Cincinnati.—War lessons the United States can learn of Great Britain were explained by William Hard, investigator and magazine writer, before the joint sessions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the National Machine Tool Builders' association in convention here recently. The chief lesson, Mr. Hard said, would be to invest seamen with the control of the navy. No civilian, he said, should be intrusted with so important a duty. Affairs of the army and navy in action should be given into the hands of "competent" army and navy men, Mr. Hard said. - Washington. — Bennett Clark, son of the speaker of the house, received an ovation when he entered the chambers wearing a khaki uniform of the army. Young Clark entered training in the officers' reserve corps at Fort Myer and returned to the capitol when the "rookies" were excused from duty. Representative Mann, the minority leader, sped Mr. Clark in the corridor back of the house chamber. The Republican leader took the speaker's son by the arm and figuratively dragged him into the hall. He bowed confusedly as the entire membership of the house arose and applauded the student officer. - TO SEEK EXPLORER TO SEEK EXPLORER Third Relief Ship Will Go After MacMillan. Reported Safe. The Neptune, Commanded by Captain Bartlett, Will Start For Arctic In July-Bartlett Famous From His Connection With the Explorations of Peary and Stefansson. New York.—For the third time a relief ship is being fitted out to go for and bring back Donald MacMillan; the explorer who went to the arctic in 1913 to look for the new continent which Rear Admiral Peary thought he had discovered several years before and which he had named Crocker Land. MacMillan sent back word in 1915 that he had made a sledge trip of 130 miles across the ice in the direction of the supposed continent and had found no trace of land, and many scientists have since supposed that what Rear Admiral Peary saw was an extraordinarily vivid mirage. According to a message received from the Shetland Islands, the MacMillan party are safe, and Bartlett will go north to bring them back. The new expedition will be commanded by Captain Robert A. Bartlett, famous from his connection with the explorations of Peary, and Stefansson, and will sail from St. John's, Newfoundland, in the first week of July. A. Photo by American Press Association. The vessel obtained is the steam sealer Neptune, formerly known as the best vessel in the Newfoundland fishing fleet, but more recently carrying coal for the British government. The troubles of the MacMillan party began shortly after their departure in July, 1913, when their ship was wrecked off Bargel Point, Labrador. The party and supplies were transferred to another vessel and reached Etah that fall. In the summer of 1915, after reports had been received of the activities of the party, Dr. Edmund Otis Hovey, chairman of the committee in charge of the expedition and curator of the department of geology in the American Museum of Natural History, started out with a relief party in the ship George B. Cluett. Dr. Hovey reached Etah and brought back all the party except Mr. MacMillan and two companions, who had gone on a hunting trip, despairing of any rescue party that year. The Cluett was caught in the ice herself that winter, although several of the members of the party got out by sledge. Mennow while last spring the steamer Denmark, with a Danish complement, was chartered in Greenland when word of Dr. Hovey's plight was received, but she was last heard of on Aug. 20 of last year, fighting ice in Melyville bay. The Cliuett returned to Newfoundland last September, but Dr. Hovey and Elmer Ekblaw of her party, together with George B. Comer, the ice pilot, are presumably still in the neighborhood of Etah. Mr. MacMillan's remaining companions are Dr. Harrison J. Hunt and J. C. Small. TUTOR KEEPS HIS JOB. This Girl Need Not Attend Public School. Kansas City, Mo.-Miss Elva Diestelhorst, fourteen, several times in juvenile court because of the refusal of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Diestelhorst, to permit her to attend public school, need not go to public school. Judge Porterfield has decided to permit the retention of John Sterling, her twenty-two-year-old private tutor. The tutor will continue to give Miss Diestelhorst lessons in arithmetic, geography, writing, spelling, Greek history, reading, hygiene and grammar. He must report his pupil's progress, however, to the juvenile court the first Friday of each month, Judge Porterfield ordered. Neither Miss Diesteinhorst nor her mother nor her father appeared in court, but Sterling did. Judge Porterfield looked him over, studied the curriculum which he said constituted his young pupil's daily task and decided the arrangement might stand.

Areas Likely to Be Theaters of War Operations Designated and Recommendations Presented For Road Building-In Certain Contingencier May Fix Food Prices, Washington.—Governors who sought advice from the Council of National Defense concerning their war activities at the national defense conference received their instructions in a detailed statement which covered a hundred phases of the work necessary to get the country in shape for a successful war against Germany. The advice was in the form of answers to stated questions on industrial and military subjects. There ran through the document an apparent warning against lysteria in action which might hamper rather than accomplish the desired results. Here are some of the important points made: First.—The national council recommends that the state councils shall encourage economy, and discourage extravagant living and the purchase of luxuries among the people of their respective states. Second. In regard to the postponement of state or municipal works now under way and not of pressing importance the council, "generally speaking," advises that nothing now under way should be abandoned except under pressing necessity; nor should new projects be started not of pressing importance. Third. The council has not made any suggestion for the postponement in any state of work on co-operative highway projects to such an extent that redistribution of public money will be necessary. Fourth.-The taking of a census by states of men for either military or industrial service, supplementary to federal registration—a step which has been contemplated in some other states—was discouraged. On this point the document says: "The council does not desire such a census for the present. It is not needed just now and when completed and ready for use would soon be obsolete owing to rapidly changing industrial conditions." Fifth.-The council may in certain contingencies fix either or both minimum and maximum food prices if authorized by law, but holds that until legislation is passed it is impossible to make a definite statement. In reply to advice in regard to the road building, which would make the location and character of the highway better suited for military purposes, the council furnishes a copy of a letter from Secretary Baker to Secretary Houston giving in detail the areas likely to be the theater of war operations and presenting recommendations as to road building for military purposes. The areas in question are: (a) The area about Long Island, including most of the states of Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. (b) The area about Chesapeake bay, including much of the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Delaware. (c) The Pacific coast area, including California, Oregon and Washington. (d) The Mexican border, including the southern part of the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. (e) The great lakes area, including the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. COULDN'T SCARE SAILOR. Officer Told Threatening U Boat Captain to "Shoot Away." London.—Douglas Duff, the fourth officer and the only survivor of the steamer Thracin, sunk by a German submarine on April 27, says in depositions that three hours after the ship was sunk the German submarine approached the capsized boat, the stern of which had been blown off, to which he was clinging, and asked him the usual questions regarding the destroyed steamer and her destination. It was 11 o'clock at night and very dark. The submarine commander first threatened to shoot Duff, says the fourth officer, who quotes himself as replaying, "Shoot away." The commander then said, according to Duff, that he wouldn't waste powder on an Englishman and left Duff to his fate. He was picked up twelve hours later by a French fisherman. ARMY NEEDS GENERALS. Promotion Expected to Be Made Only Upon Merit Basis. Washington.—The new national army will require about twenty-nine new major generals and more than 100 brigadier generals, according to officials of the war department. There will be a total of thirty-six divisions, each of which will have one major general and four brigadier generals. The army act empowers the president to appoint general officers at his discretion. The beller prevails that the president and secretary of war both are determined only upon merit and special fitness. This policy would coincide exactly with those of France and England, which are advancing younger men to the higher commands.

Mr. George West head waiter at the "Bluffs Hotel," Bay Head, N. J., has been spending the week in this city getting his crew of waiters together. Mr. West is among the first colored head waiters on the Jersey Coast to obtain a larger wage scale for his men this season due to the high cost of living and the general shortage of help. Leon D. Mitchell and Dixie Walker are connected with a Baltimore restaurant during the mid-season rush of business in that city. M. T. Broady acted as second waiter to Mr. Bryant at the National Hotel of this city during the Confederate Reunion last week. Mr. Hobbs formerly night steward at the New Ebbitt has succeeded Mr. Robert Fatt at the Virginian Hotel of Lynchburg, Va. Mr. J. M. Deas formerly connected with the New Ebbitt Cafe is now employed at the Washington Terminal Restaurant at the Union Station here. Col. Linval N. Myers will leave for a New England resort shortly for the summer season. Among the first arrivals at Bay Head, N. J. this season were Mr. John Brown and Miss Dora Drowry both of Washington, D. C. Mr. Benjamin Page of the Brighton Apartment Hotel of this city has been successful in getting an increase in wages for his waiters. Mr. Page is a young progressive head waiter with a great future. Stenographers Close Dance For Summer. Last Wednesday afternoon in the midst of a great storm which threatened the city for several days the Stenographers Club of which Mr. Alonzo Collins is the progressive president gave their closing matinee dance featuring Rochester's Baltimore Orchestra and entertainer. Hundreds came out to show their gratitude to the Stenographer's in their closing event. Many musical critics were present listening to the harmony of the Baltimore musicians who have been called back to this city to play for the "Mikado," a new dance feature with quaint costumes and Japanese scenery which was introduced to the populace of Washington by Mr. Philip Green entitled "A Night in Tokio." The Baltimore Orchestra was assisted by Doc. Perry's Peerless Harmony Band on Thursday evening, June 14.
