Representative Registrants Inducted Into Service at Howard University Amid Impressive Ceremonies Amid impressive ceremonies 300 representative young registrants were inducted last Wednesday into the national army as students of technical branches at Howard University. They embraced the quota of the District of Columbia, and among them were a number of lawyers, doctors and teachers. Prior to the induction ceremonies a procession passed through the main thoroughfares, in which were the 300 student-soldiers, members of the District and local draft boards, Acting Adjutant General D. J. Donovan, the Red Cross auxiliaries of the colored high schools and Howard University, and a large contingent of citizens on foot and in automobiles. Lieut. Col. Arthur Brooks was grand marshal. The parade was reviewed by Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder, who pronounced the aggregation a highly creditable one. By permission of the Board of Education the children of the public schools were dismissed from their classes and allowed to witness the spectable. Many of the young people were in costumes characteristic of the war, and most all of them and their elders as, well carried flags—the Stars and Stripes and the banners of the allies intermingling beautifully. The procession was headed by the Elks' Band, the full corps of the High School Cadets, and a detachment of guards from the War Department acted as escort. The draftees wore citizens clothes, with a band of white on the left arm. They will be uniformed in about two weeks. There was much enthusiasm all along the line of march. The immense crowd arrived at Howard University about noon, having started at the Dunbar High School at 1st and O streets northwest. PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. A joint meeting of the Parent-Teacher and Community Associations of the Lovejoy, Logan and Crummell Schools was held at the Lovejoy School Tuesday evening, May 12. Mr. Thomas Short and Mr. Theodore Bradford, president of the Parent-Teachers and of the Community Center Association, respectively, presided. The temporary community secretary, Mrs. Rebecca J. Gray, gave a report of the organization of the Community Center Association, and of the work done at the Lovejoy Center. The address of the evening was delivered by Mrs. Wolff Smith, assistant to Miss Cecil B. Norton, general community secretary. While every one regretted the absence of Miss Norton, who was compelled to be present elsewhere, no one was sorry that she had sent in her stead such a splendid representative. Mrs. Smith has the understanding of real, true community spirit, the theme of her address being the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of All Mankind." Miss M. Madre, on behalf of the Parent-Teachers' Association and the Community Center, presented the speaker with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Judging from their manifestations of joy and pleasure during and after the entertainment Saturday, May 4. 1918, will be a red-letter day in the Hives of a score or more of Camp Meade's selectmen, who journeyed to the District of Columbia to be the special guests of St. Augustine's Lyceum, at the spacious residence of Miss Eva Cole, 1337 R street N. W. Each member of the church in the service was invited to bring with him a soldier comrade. While some were unable to be present, their places were largely filled by chance guests in uniform. The house presented a strict military appearance. It was beautifully decorated with flowers, plants, patriotic pictures, symbols of warfare informer days and a profusion of the national colors and those of our allies in victory. The outstanding feature of the evening was the unfurling of a large service flag, made by several ladies of the lyceum, and containing one gold and twenty-eight blue stars representing our men in the First Separate Battalion, the new National Army and Reserves. After a splendid but brief speech of the president, Miss Genevieve Burke, the flag was unfurled amidst loud cheers, and while the soldiers stood at attention all joined in singing the "Star Spangled Banner." At the close of the May procession on Sunday last the flag was blessed by the pastor, Rev. Father Griffith, followed by a very splendid address by Rev. Father Gilladay of the Catholic University, who paid a very high tribute to our race in general, and to St. Augustine's Church in particular. Music was furnished by Professor John Cole, violinist; Miss Mabel Butler, pianist, and Mr. Robert Blackwell, the noted baritone. After being served with a delightful repast, each soldier and male guest was given a package of cigars and cigarettes, the personal donation of Rev. Father Alozo, J. Olds, the assistant pastor and also spiritual adviser of the lyeum, and who has, from its very foundation, eleven years ago, always manifested a very keen interest in its affairs. Among the guests present were: Corporals George Johnson and George J. Benjamin, Jr.; Privates William H. Ford and Walter von Taylor of the Medical Corps; George Cook, Edgar Hill, Robert S. Boyd, Hezekiah Kirkland, Adam Roberts, Percy Benson, French Benson, Percy NINETEEN—BEE—Marks, Burkley Burrell, Charles E.

REV. JACKSON ORDAINED. The Young Divine Is Greeted by a Large Gathering. Rev. Benjamin F. Jackson; who will join the army of ministerial benedicts, was ordained as a minister of the Gospel at the Trinidad Baptist Church, Rev. Hawkins, pastor, on Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. There was a distinguished gathering of ministers and friends of the young divine present to do him honor. The ceremonies were conducted WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1918 J. DR. J. E. JONES, DEAD. A Distingulshed Diplomat by Rev. Hawkins. Many flowers were presented to Rev. Jackson, particularly a large bouquet by his hister, Mrs. Rosa Jackson Ailer. At the conclusion of the ceremonies dinner was served for the invited guests, prepared by Mesdames Ailer and Hawkins, sister of Rev. Jackson, and a committee of the church. It was a delightful affair. Next month Rev. Jackson will be married to a Philadelphia young lady, after which he will return to this city and reside in northwest. Invitations have been issued by Mr. and Mrs. Highland Lewis, of Philadelphia, for the marriage of their daughter, Georgiana Eleanor, to Rev. B. F. Jackson, Wednesday, June 5th, at 5 o'clock, in the Monumental Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa. CAMP MEADE. MEN ENJOY THEMSELVES. Judging from their manifestations of joy during and after the entertainment, Saturday, May 4th, was a redletter day in the lives of a score or more of Camp Meade selectmen, who journeyed to the District of Columbia to be the special guests of St. Augustine's Lyceum, at the spacious residence of Miss Eva Coles, 1337 R street northwest. Each member of the church in the service was invited to attend, accompanied by a soldier comrade. Some, however, were unable to be present, but their places were partially filled by chance guests who were visiting the home folks. The house was beautifully decorated with plants, flowers, patriotic pictures and other symbols of warfare, the national colors and flags of the allied powers. The most striking feature of the evening was the unfurling of a large service flag, containing one gold and twenty-one blue stars, and which was made by several very industrious ladies of the lyceum. To date the total number of stars is twenty-seven, representing men in both the First Separate Battalion and the new National Army. After a very splendid and brief address by the president, Miss Genevieve L. Burke, the flag was unfurled, while everyone arose, the soldiers at attention, and sang with vim and energy the "Star Spangled Banner," after which refreshments were served and dancing and singing were resumed. Music was furnished by Prof. John Cole, our popular violinist; Miss Mabel Butler, pianist, and Mr. Robert Blackwell, the famous baritone. At the conclusion of the repast each sol- dier and male guest was tendered a package of cigars and cigarettes, the personal gift of Rev. Father Olds, spiritual adviser of the lyeum, who has from its very foundation, eleven years ago, maintained a keen, active interest in all of its affairs. Among the soldiers present were Sergt. George W. Johnson, Corporal George J. Benjamin, Jr., Privates Wm. H. Ford, Walter V. Taylor of the Medical Corps, Edgar Hill, Headquarters, Company 368th Infantry, Hezekiah Kirkland, Percy Benson, Percy Marks, Ernest Burrell, French Benson, Charles E. Curtis, Raymond B. Jackson, Adam Roberts, George L. Cook, Robert S. Boyd, Ernest Lowber, Elmer Johnson, Robert Ford and A. E. Lucas of the Naval Reserves. Other guests included Misses Eva Thompson, Emma Hansborough, Lillian Burke, Inez Burke, Annie E. Tillman, Margaret Bell, Natalie Cole, Adele Hill, Edith C. Stevenson, Mrs. Mary Graham, Mrs. Edward Smith, Messrs. Robert E. Blackwell, Earle Bogle, Nicholas Harper, Ned Cobley and Mrs. Grace Cole. Officers of the lyceum: Miss Genevieve L. Burke, president; Mr. J. Arthur Henson, vice-president; Miss Annie Saunders, financial secretary; Mr. Eugene Butler, recording secretary; Mr. Aloysius Smith, treasurer; Miss Sarah Burns, chairman entertainment committee; Miss Cornelia Hohman, librarian; Father. Alonzo J. Olds, spiritual adviser. The lyceum extends their most cordial thanks to Miss Cole and her mother, to the patrons, and to all who in any way contributed to the success of the entertainment. MR. TYLER REPLIES TO MR. BYERS. To the Editor of The Bee: Only rarely is there anything gained through a newspaper controversy, and I always prefer to avoid such. However, after reading Mr. Rufus Byers' communication in last week's issue of The Bee, I feel it is but proper, in order to keep the records straight, to reply to his veiled attack upon the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee. To be brief, the committee contracted with an experienced firm to make its picture, and we further made a contract with the same company for the marketing and showing of that picture, as is customary. The manager of the aforesaid company called upon Mr. Thomas for rates for the showing of the film at Howard The- atre. Mr. Thomas asked $1,000 per week for his house, and at the same time reserved the right to continue his supper shows, and to have Sunday. At that time, when under the "one workless day" in the week for the conservation of fuel, our film could only have been shown five days, for which $1,000 was asked by Mr. Thomas, he also reserving for himself on those five days his supper shows. The Howard is Mr. Thomas' property, and he had a perfect right, if he so elected, to ask $1,000 or $2,000, and the company having the contract for marketing our picture also had the right to decline his proposition, knowing that at $1,000 per week it would leave a deficit to be paid rather than a profit to come to this committee, for relief work among dependents of colored soldiers. But it is with Mr. Byers' statement that "the committee did not live up to its promise," and his further statement that "I am quite sure it did not want the people. of the District of Columbia to see what it was offering," is what I particularly desire to deal with. The committee lived up to every promise made. We made two attempts to have the successful contestants in the contest for parts in our scenario to meet the director, but at neither was there the required number. At the first meeting but two put in appearance, and at the second meeting but five, whereas there were to be ten characters in the scenario. At the second meeting even these five stated, because of their employment, they could not give the five days of their time required to take the various scenes. The director and camera man were here at an expense of $75 per day. They had other engagements awaiting them, and could not wait indefinitely on the cast, even if it had been possible to continue paying them $75 per day for being idle. Because of the inability of the successful contestants, because of their employment, to give five days of their time for the taking of the scenes, it became necessary to range a new scenario, a strictly military one, and one which was pronounced exceptionally fine by all who saw it at a private showing, and by the bureau of the War Department which first had to pass upon it. I really do not think Mr. Byers intended to impugne deception to the committee, and so am charitable enough to assume his quoted statements were merely unintentional. If anyone failed to live up to promises it was NOT the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee. We have no quarrel with Mr. Thomas for stipulating a price of $1,000 per week for his house, for that was his perogative, if he chose to exercise it. Personally, I have the highest respect for both Mr. Thomas and Mr. Byers, and believe both are entitled to very great credit for giving the race such excellent amusement opportunities as Howard affords. My object in replying to Mr. Byers is merely, as said in the onset, to keep the records straight. The film is now being shown in the Middle West, drawing crowds, and giving eminent satisfaction. COLORED SPEAKERS. War Aims of the Government to Be Presented. Among the sixty or more colored men selected by Mr. Emmett J. Scott to present the war aims of the government to the people are Dr. R. R. Moten, William H. Lewis, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Dr. James E. Shepard, Charles W. Anderson, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Dr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. E. C. Mann, Prof. E. M. Hershaw, Robert S. Abbott, H. A. Rucker, Prof. Kelly Miller, Ralph W. Tyler and others. OUR 39TH NUMBER The manner in which the people are responding to the invitation to join us in our thirty-ninth anniversary is very flattering, indeed. It is the hope of the management to tell some interesting events of Washington and its people. Be sure and appear in this issue. Look for Mr. M. C. Maxfield's history of the Sunday Schools of Washington. It should not be missed. "BLACK BILLY SUNDAY." Glancing over colored newspapers; we notice here and there where some colored minister is 'advertising himself as a "Black Billy Sunday." In many instances the first word—the adjective describing their color, is literally correct, and in many cases, no doubt, they are religious jumping-jacks—mere physical performers, just like the original, white Billy Sunday, who capitalize their church connection just to make money. The Bee is at a loss to understand why every time some colored man apes some white man who has achieved fame or notoriety he has to usurp the white original's name, and prefix to it the adjective "black." We have had the "Black" Patti, the "Black" Demosthenese, the "Black" Homer and the "Black" everything else, and now we have a lot of itinerant colored ministers, many of whom have the limited brains they possess lodged in their feet and hands, roaming over the country fooling people with the spurious title of "Black Billy Sunday." Of all the men whom-colored men ought to try to imitate, Billy Sunday is the last who ought to have consideration. Won't somebody propose that some of these, and all, if possible, "Black" Billy Sundays be interned in some asylum for feeble minded, at least until after the war? "Black Billy Sunday!" Rausmittem! ELECTION OF BANK OFFICERS The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Industrial Savings Bank met May 15th at the bank building, Eleventh and You Streets N.W. The entire board of directors was re-elected for another year. Mr. John W. Lewis called the board in special session and the officers, as before, were re-elected as follows: John W. Lewis, president; W. S. Carter, vice-president; John H. Simms, treasurer; William A. Bowie, cashier; W. H. Ricks, secretary; Zeph P. Moore, counsel. Board of Directors: Logan Johnson, Walter S. Carter, Charles Neal, John H. Simms, Wm. A. Bowie, John W. Lewis, W. H. Ricks and John H. Lucas. SOLDIERS HERE FOR ARTILLERY INSTRUCTION. A group of officers from the 349th and 350th Battalions of Field Artillery have arrived at Camp Meade for instruction in the fine points of artillery work. They come from Camp Upton at Yaphank, N. Y., and Camp Dix at Wrightstown, N. J.. It is, expected that arrangements will be made whereby enlisted men with the proper qualifications may come from these and other points to take advantage of this important training. The newcomers will work in conjunction with the 351st Battalion of Field Artillery already stationed at Camp Meade and which has made wonderful progress. The term of training will be about four months. The new men at Camp Meade are stalwart fellows—ideal specimens of American manhood, and give every indication that they will "make good." Mr. S. H. Dudley, theatrical magnate, is in the city. A proposition, or assertion, is an act of judgment expressed in language. It consists of three parts, viz: a subject, a predicate, and the copula that joins them. Example: "Mr. Wilson is President." The subject and predicate are called the terms, or extremes, of the proposition. The copula, a verb, if not a form of the verb "to be," is always the equivalent of such a verb, and can be converted into that form of assertion. Example: "I hope to see you," simply means (to see you) is (my hope). A judgment is the comparing together in the mind two notions or terms, and declaring that they agree or do not agree. A proposition expressing such a judgment is commonly called a sentence. Sentences are indicative, interrogative, optative or exclamatory. Indicative sentences are the kind usually regarded as propositions, and they are either categorical or conditional. A conditional sentence is either hypothetical or disjunctive. All of these are explained in the big dictionary. Every proposition can be converted as to become a categorical proposition, which simply asserts that the predicate agrees or disagrees with the subject, and the answer to which is always "yes" or "no." Therefore, let us now confine our consideration to categorical propositions. They are of four primary kinds, viz: affirmative, negative, universal, particular. An affirmative proposition is one in which the predicate is declared to agree with the subject. A negative proposition is one in which the predicate is declared to disagree with the subject. A universal (or general) proposition is one in which the predicate is asserted of the whole of the subject. The signs of universality are "all," "every," "no," "neither," and the like. A particular proposition is one in which the predicate is asserted of an indelinite part of the subject. The signs of particularity are "some," "many," "few," "several," and the like. Signs of universality and particularity are not always expressed in propositions, but they are always understood or ought to be. Combining these four kinds of propositions in certain ways, we get a cross classification of propositions, which is the most useful in the science of reasoning, and is the practical basis of the Rules of the Syllogism, to be given later on. The classes thus obtained are also four in number, and are usually designated by the letters A, E, I, O. They are as follows: A. Universal affirmative. E. Universal negative. I. Particular affirmative. O. Particular negative. Following are examples of them: A. Every man has a conscience. E. No man has a conscience. Observe that some of them include the idea of "all," and that some of them conflict. These examples illustrate what is called the "quantity" and "quality" and the "opposition" of propositions. The quantity of a proposition is determined by the comprehension, or extension, of the subject. Thus, if we assert that the predicate agrees or disagrees with the whole of the subject, that is to say with all the "significates" that come under the term, the proposition is said to be universal. Examples, A and E given above. The quality of propositions is also of two kinds, viz: the quality of the subject-matter and the quality of the expression. As to quality of subject-matter, propositions are true or false. As to form of expression, they are affirmative or negative. As to "opposition" or prositions, two propositions are said to be "opposed" which having the same subject and predicate yet differ in quantity or quality, or both. With any given subject and predicate four distinct propositions may be stated, viz: the form A, E, I, O given above, any two of which may be said to be opposed. Let the reader turn to the word "opposition" in the big dictionary and note the square figure called the "square of opposition." The corners are designated, respectively, by the letters A, E, I, O, which represent the respective examples of propositions given above. Two diagonal lines connect the diagonal corners. There are six lines, and each of the lines represent, some form of "contrary" or "contradiction." The two diagonal lines represent two kinds of "contradictions." The four other lines represent different kinds of "contraries." From the "square of opposition" are derived certain descriptive terms used to designate the kinds of opposition. Contrary opposition is A, E. Subcontrary opposition is I, O. Su- baltern opposition is A, I, or E, O. Contradictory opposition is A, O, or E, I. The Rules of Opposition are: 1. Contradictory propositions are always the one true and the other false. 2. Contrary propositions may be both false, but never both true.. 3. Subcontrary propositions are never both false, but they may be both true. 4. Subaltern propositions are sometimes both true, and sometimes one is true and the other false. I conclude this talk with particular emphasis of the importance of the classification of propositions, as A, E, I, O. We shall need it in our next talk, which will be on the subject of Syllogisms. The old Scholastic, who wrote in Latin, devises some Latin verses to aid the memory of those four forms and their signification, the substance being: A affirms, E denies, Both include all; I affirms, O denies, Neither includes all. A FRIEND. 'Tis a friend who laughs when we're glad, Who brings us comfort when we're sad. 'Tis a friend, regardless of our mood, Points to the road from evil to good. 'Tis a friend, knowing our every Always frees us from all blame; Knows all about us and yet loves Us still dearly—just the same. 'Tis a friend, who clasps our trembling hands. Beholds these tears and understands When life is hard—seems incomplete: 'Tis a friend who leads us from all sorrow, With a promise fair of a glad tomorrow, And climbs with us the stairway of life; Who'll lend a hand in the thickest light. 'Tis a friend who cheers when dear hopes fail. Giving us help when we're about to set sail; With love, sweet love, and patience mild, 'Tis the one soul we find that under stands—once in a while. COLORED PEOPLE WITH HEADS. UP. Secretary McAdoo has acknowledged the $100,000 subscription to Liberty Loan bonds by the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association of Durham, by declaring that "the Treasury Department has never received a more substantial expression of the patriotism of the Negro race in the South than evidenced in this subscription. It is probably the largest subscription in government securities ever taken by a company comprised of members of the Negro race. This insurance company reflects somewhat the sentiment of the leaders of the Negro race in the South inasmuch as it operates in most of the Southern States." Secretary McAdoo is a Southern man, and his tribute to the colored people may be taken as a model for any timid white man who would deny to them any of the credit for the large things they so often do. A "substantial expression of patriotism" Mr. McAdoo calls it, more "substance" to it than any ever made by the race, perhaps, but it is as spiritual a contribution as any race or individual has made. In Winston-Salem a decade or two ago a dark, corner in the twin city was denominated "Buzzard Roost." But some colored business genius conceived something better than log cabins and pig sties and soon a marble floored drug store had transformed Buzzard Roost into "Columbia Heights." The black people in the South were dying as a race and Northern insurance companies declined to write policies for them. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident was born of President John Merrick, a barber, and his brother-in-law, General Manager C. C. Spaulding, who was a school teacher, and therefore more of a pauper. Out of the necessity for protecting their own race, they organized this company, and against the multiplied ills and the inconvenience of overcoming them, they have made the North Carolina Mutual and Provident the richest Negro insurance company in the world. During the present week the National Training School in Durham has been celebrating its commencement. One of the speakers was Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the New York Crisis, and one of the most intellectual men the race has produced. He is its most invincible apostle of despair. To him the future holds no hope, the triumphant life of Booker Washington was to him a standing affront. Yet there is the North Carolina Mutual and Provi- dent, whose officers listening to the Du Bois gospel of gloom are, answer to his plaint that the South affords no hope for his race. Years ago, in the Methodist Church of North Carolina two giants, one of enthusiasm, the other of desperation, met in a memorable debate on the conference floor. A vast amount of money for missions was to be raised. The one said it could be done; the other declared it was impossible. "Will the brother allow me to interrupt his speech?" said the man of hope. Joseph Undertak For 227 Cor Jos "Certainly," replied the agent of despair. "I have just received the last thousand dollars while you are talking against it," the cheerful preacher said, "now proceed with your argument." That is just what has been happening in Durham these nineteen years The colored capitalists have not been endowed by anything but hard work and business sense. They have been too busy to listen to their Jeremiahs with lungs full of lamentation. In the room of Jonahs cavorting over the earth and crying "Yet forty days and the woods will be on fire," they have been sending their agents into other dark spots and giving their people hope. What they have done is more than a business achievement of a few persons. It is an accomplishment which the nation acknowledges and a world democracy can enjoy.—From the Raleigh (N. C.) State Journal. IMPROVE YOUR We train, soften, grow and straight THE NE "pressing and Training the G.A.

YOUTH IS VICTOR OVER NOTED HUN English Boy Defeats Germany's Superflyer Voss in Desperate Battle. Lieutenant Arthur Rhys Davids Said to Be One of the-Three Elect Among Bravest of British Airmen. London.—When Voss, the intrepid German airman, was brought down there was considerable demand that the name of the British airman who accomplished the feat should be revived. He was Lieut. Arthur Rhys Davids, an Eton boy of twenty. In the official Gazette it is stated that among his other fights he brought down nine enemy aircraft in nine weeks. But after much anxiety the boy's father, Prof. Rhys Davids, and his mother, both Oriental scholars of distinction, no longer have any doubt that their son, missing since last December, is dead. In their home on Chipstead Downs the parents and sisters mourn the brave and daring boy, said to be one of three very elect among the bravest of British airmen. Arthur Rhys' Davids, after doing brilliantly at Summerfield, where, a king's scholar, he won a Balliol exhibition and the Newcastle scholarship, took his commission in the Royal Flying corps in the autumn of 1916, leaving his civil service ambitions until after the war. Brought Down Twenty-Two Germans. Young Davids had been good at sports and he took to flying as though born to it. He won the M. C. with the bar and the D. S. O. after five months in France in April, 1917. He brought down 22 Germans for certain—he actually saw that number crash—but he drove down many more out of control. Among the 22 were the German superfliers Voss and Schafer. The story of the defeat of Voss, who had been credited with being the greatest airman of all the armies, is thrilling. When Rhys Davids went up with a squadron of six and four Germans were sighted, it was not so easy as it seemed, for Voss was among them, and he took on three of the British machines. Two of these he put out of action, causing them to return home with their engines full of lead. The third was the boy from Eton. Voss and Rhys made a duel of it. The Hun was in a triplane; and there was a most tremendous fight. The story of it was afterward told to the family by an officer acquainted with the facts. "I want to give Voss all credit," says Miss Rhys Davids, sister of the brave young airman, in repeating the story. "He had a fearful fight with the three for twenty minutes, and then my brother and Voss wheeled round and round; and then, suddenly, Voss crashed to earth: "Yes, my brother spoke of one or two narrow escapes. On the very first time he went up 'out there' something made him turn round, and to his astonishment he saw a Hun on his tail. If he had not glanced round at that moment he would have been killed. Worse still, his gun jammed, and for ten minutes he had to get out of this machine's way by rolling and turning. Then suddenly, to his amazement, the Hun turned tall and went home. That was one of the narrowest scopes he had. "My brother was inclined to fly recklessly low, and that is probably how he met his death in October, last year. We knew he was missing, and we hoped and hoped for eight weeks before we had any practical certainty. Shot 'Painted Banana.' "He had very often been in a big fight of 25 on each side, and when he wrote home about such, he said: 'All you can think of is pumping lead into any machine you see and looking out and avoiding collisions, just missing each other by perhaps a couple of feet. He used to laugh when he saw the German machines painted up like an unripe banana. He described one of these machines, and said that when it came toward him he chuckled with laughter at the curious appearance of it, and then let fly. He brought the painted banana down." And now young Rhys Davids has himself been brought down. But he lives a memory of schoolboy British pluck that can never die. Among other raiders mentioned in the Gazette is Lieut. R. H. Arye, R. F. C., who during one of his "many successful raids" bombed an enemy airship shed, and on another occasion bombed a railway station from a height of 500 feet. He also derailed part of a train and poured machine gun fire on its occupants. The military cross is awarded to him. Flying at the extremely low altitude of 150 feet, Lieut. R. B. Ashcroft, M. C. Notts and Derby, attacked enemy troops who were holding up our infantry. A similar feat was accomplished by Lieut. A. C. Gondale, M. C., R. F. C. Both those officers gain a bar to their military cross. Radiate Happiness. He who does his best to make every body around him happy is the man who surrounds himself with happiness. IN VILLAGE OF 150, TWO THIRDS IN RED CROSS Klukwan, Alaskan.—Although there are only 150 inhabitants in this village, the local Red Cross society has 100 members. This Red Cross society is composed entirely of Indians. Recently the organization gave a benefit basket social and netted $100. The women have completed 46 dresses for French children, eight bathrobes, 37 crocheted bonnets, 32 pairs of socks, and 16 pairs of wristlets. Patriotic speeches made by the Indians are features of the organization's meetings. WORK OF THE Y.M.C.A. Two Thousand Workers Are With Expeditionary Forces and 3,000 in American Camps. Washington.—In its work of ministering to the social, recreational and religious welfare of the boys and young men of this city and county who have enlisted in the National army, the Y. M. C. A. is now expending a total of $5,000,000 a month. These, together with other interesting figures on the scope of the work are contained in a bulletin just received from the National war work council. According to the statement of the council, the "home" side of army camp life is being maintained among the hundreds of thousands of soldier boys both in the United States and in France. At the present time there are 2,200 Y. M. C. A. workers with the expeditionary forces in France and England and 3,000 other workers in American camps. The Y. M. C. A. has been asked by General Pershing to take over the entire canteen system with the American army in France, and this will require the services of more than 3,000 volunteer workers alone. An effort is now being made to secure at least 1,000 business and professional men of high standing who will go to France for all sorts of Y. M. C. A. service before July 1. It is estimated that 8,000,000 feet of film are being exhibited weekly to the soldiers at home and abroad. A recent shipment of athletic equipment for the troops in France consisted of 79,650 basballs, 19,000 hats, 10,000 gloves and mitts, boxing gloves, volley balls and various other kinds of aparatus for promoting the play spirit among the troops in their leisure hours. The Y. M. C. A. has established a chain of huts and dugouts along the front lines occupied by American troops "over there" and is meeting the needs of the Sammles as they take their places in the Lorraine trenches. The Y. M. C. A. huts on the Russian front have been demolished by German guns and the 150 secretaries there have retired before the advance of the Huns and are now established in Siberia awaiting an opportunity to return to Russia. MAKE PEANUT FLOUR BREAD Florida Baker Expects to Market It at Price Below That of Wheat Flour. Washington.—Peanut flour bread has been put on the market in wide distribution by a baking company in Galnesville, Fla., working in co-operation with B. F. Williamson, a chemist of that city, the food administration reports. The peanut flour used is made from peanut cake left after oil extraction. It is said to contain a satisfactory percentage of fat and to have almost twice the nitrogenous food value of dried beef, in the ratio of 44 to 25. The loaf is made of one-fifth peanut flour to four-fifths wheat flour, which produces a balanced ration, supplying both bread and meat ingredients. Peanut flour is said to be readily digestible, wholesome and palatable, and the Florida company expects to be able to market it at a price below that of wheat flour. TELLS OF NEW GRETNA GREEN West Virginia Town Where Nuptial Knots Are Tied More Easily Than Anywhere Else. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Wellsburg, W. Va., is the Gretna Green where nuptial knots are tied more easily than anywhere else in America. A woman taxicab driver meets all trains for the purpose of taking eloping-parties to the marriage license office and the altar without a moment's loss of time. This information was given by Mrs. Otto Schenck, aged sixteen years, when her plea for divorce was heard in the divorce court here. Farmer Kills Wild Cats Live Oaks, Cal.-Wing, a farmer near here, recently killed two large wild cats along the Feather river while engaged in hunting jack rabbits. One of the wild cats raced up a tree and started to show fight when Wing discovered it. A shot brought it to the ground. Its cries of rage and pain brought its mate to the scene, and Wing dispatched the second cat with a shot from his gun. PATHETIC FIGURE AMONG WAR RUINS Lone, Aged Woman Is Sole Inhabitant Left in French Village. NAMED LA DAME INDOMITABLE All Who Survived Hun Carnival of Rage and Rapine Which Swept the Place, Left Long, Long Ago. American Army Headquarters In France.—In the charred village they call her La Dame Indomitable. Not a bad name for her, either. There is a great gun in the French army called Indomitable. The enemy has trained its heavy weapons on this giant cylinder of destruction, but old Indomitable still belches its deadly hall upon the Huns, and so the old lady of — was named after this famous gun, writes Don Martin in the New York Herald. I saw her the other day in the reconstructed ruins of her once comfortable house. Two artillery officers—American—have billets with her. She takes care of their rooms, shines their boots and leggings and puts on a button now and then when they know nothing about it. Then, when she is not busy at home, she washes dishes for the Salvation Army canteen or performs more laborious service, for all of which she receives ten cents an hour. That is enough. She doesn't need much. She begins her daily routine at five in the morning and finishes at seven in the evening. Then she walks two miles to a shop to get her allowance of bread, and after ten o'clock, when her "boys" are in bed and asleep, she throws herself on a bed of boxes and old clothes, with one blanket for covering, and sleeps. Village's Only Inhabitant. La Dame Indomitable is the only inhabitant left in the village. It is no place for women. Children—all who survive the Hun carnival of rage and rapine—left long, long ago. The old folks dragged a weary way from the humble, aged stone buildings in which they and their ancestors had lived for many generations—yes, for hundreds of years. Soldiers occupied the town. Then the Germans came. Three times the quaint village was taken and retaken. The guaint remnants of the old dwellings could tell frightful stories of slaughter and magnificent tales of valor. So can La Dame Indomitable. But she says little. She just works. She wants to help France. Officers told her a long time ago she could go anywhere she wished. Even the grandeurs of Paris were pictured to her in the hope that she might be lured from the abode of danger in which she resides. But why should she go? "No, I'm not old," she says. "I'm only sixty-five or maybe seventy. I'm a strong woman yet, but when I carry water this long, long distance and then walk to the houlangerle for bread sometimes my heart beats too fast maybe, but that's all." So there she stays. She has been seen away up on the brow of the hill looking down on the German-held territory. One does not need glasses to see it. She trudges along shell swept roads when it is necessary, as if often is. "A shell may hit me—yes, perhaps, sometime. But we all have our work to do." Waves of deadly gas swept over the stricken group of ruins from time to time. La Dame Indomitable has her mask. An officer gave it to her. It is the best. The officers see that she gets the best. Her two American artillery officers hurry to their billets when the gas drifts into the village. They have nothing to do there; They just go to make sure that their hostess is safe. I had a cup of chocolate with her in her house and learned her story. I do not think she ever told it before. "When the war was just at the beginning," she said in French, "I had three sons. They hurried off to get their uniforms, and rifles. Then I waited. One day our soldiers came pouring into the town. They had been driven back by the Germans. Many were injured. I took as many as I could in my house and made coffee for them. You see my house was better before it was struck by shells. "While I was making coffee a big shell struck this house and killed some of the soldiers. Another one had both legs taken off. I helped them all I could, but they went away and the Germans came. They are cruel, but I am old, so I am alive. Then our boys came again and I made my house a hospital. It was struck, twice more and I was hurt a little, too, but not much. I don't want to leave. I have lived here all my life and here is where I shall die." The eyes of the old lady glowed under the spell of a thought she had not yet expressed. "A French general came and thanked me for what I did for our soldiers," she said. "Then, long after, he wrote me a letter saying I was a brave woman and had brave sons. I have the letter —you may see it." Carlisle, Pa.—Emil Young, who says he is personally acquainted with the katser, was detained by the federal authorities because he could show no naturalization papers. He asserted he had served in the German army. HERS STRIKE BECAUSE OF SLACKER EXEMPTION Gebo, Wyo.—This little mining town is 100 per cent pacific. An assistant postmaster was given a deferred duty classification because of his job. All the miners in the village—200 strong—went out on strike as a result. The strike lasted 20 hours until the assistant postmaster agreed to enlist. Whereupon the miners called a mass meeting and voted money from the union treasury to care for the man's family during his absence. Only four of the 200 strikers were born in America. Walker Is Accused of Vagrancy and Sent to House of Correction. Philadelphia.—After walking 400 miles in order that he might get a position as a carpenter at the Hog Island shipyard a man, who gave his name as John Knoblack, fifty years old, was arrested as a vagrant and got three months in the home of correction by Magistrate Pennock at a hearing in the Germantown police station. He was arrested at Springfield and Germantown avenues, Chestnut Hill, by Patrolman Hagry. When taken to the police station it was found that he wore four pairs of pants, three coats, a heavy overcoat and a light spring overcoat, a knit jacket, two shirts, two suits of underclothes, a knit cap, two pairs of socks and a pair of moccasins. He also carried a shaving outfit and other toilet articles. In committing the man Magistrate Pennock said he must have been "a bum" in Buffalo, from where he said he had walked, or he would have money to ride to this city. The magistrate told him he was sure they didn't need a man of his kind at Hog island, but that he would come in handy at the house of correction. AVERAGE AN ACRE AN HOUR New Records Set for British Plowing With Tractors in Spring London.—New English records for tractor plowing were set in the annual spring tests at the new government tractor school of instruction at Mossley Hill. Two types of light tractor plow of the model adopted by the government as most suitable for British requirements worked for 12 consecutive hours. The ground was a light soil and the tractors were required to pull four furrow plows, the depth of the furrow being six inches and the land fairly level, but slightly rocky. The work accomplished averaged 11.75 acres each, and the fuel consumption was 2.46 gallons-per acre. The engines were run continuously for 12 hours. THROUGH STORM WITH BABY Aged Pennsylvania Woman Walks 12 Miles to Get-Relief for Wilkes-Barre, Pa.—Mrs. Margret Kemp, a widow of fifty-two years and the mother of six children, walked 12 miles over the snow-crusted mountain roads with her youngest child in her arms just to get warm. When she got here she pleaded for some means of getting warmth for the rest of her family, which she said was freezing in the shack called "home" on Bald mountain. The mother and her baby were sent to the United Charities and relief was dispatched to the children. They had neither shoes nor stockings, little underwear and ragged outer garments, and were huddled under a few old horse blankets and quilts. All were brought here. FOCH IS PRONOUNCED "FOSH" Rhymes With French Soldiers' Name for Unspeakable German Butcher Soldiers, "Boche." Paris.—General Foch's name is not pronounced like "folk" in English. Stephane Lauzanne, editor of Le Martin of Paris explained the pronunciation as follows: "The correct pronunciation of the name of General Ferdinand Foch is with a medium o and with the final ch as though it were sh a trifle shortened. It will rhyme with the French soldiers' name for the unspeakable German butcher soldiers, 'Boche.' It is preferable to rhyme it with 'Bosh' rather than 'folk,' which would give the general's name a German sound." HAS SMALLEST FEET IN ARMY Man at Camp Meade Has Plenty of Room in Smallest Shoe "Q. M." Issues. Camp Meade, Md.-Fighting men at Camp Meade take due pride in their celebrities, but there is one distinctive man here who hates to be told about his distinction. It is Arthur L. Bunn of the Twenty-eighth engineers. Bunn is distinguished as the man with the smallest foot in the whole United States army. Socis size three and a half feet fit them, and his foot GUNFIRE IS MADE SURE BY PHOTOS Transferred to Maps They Bring French Artillery to High Efficiency. PROCESS IS NEW INVENTION Every Enemy Object Accurately Recorded After Alrmen's Scouting of Flights—Maps Brought to French Front.—Accuracy and efficiency have been made possible for the French artillery by the invention of an instrument that enables French mapmakers to locate almost exactly an object within the enemy lines which has been photographed from an airplane. In transferring to a map the photographed object, such as an enemy battery or munition dump, the margin of error is limited to less than five yards. This permits the French artillery to pour its shells with almost certain aim onto German gun emplacements, trench positions, cross-roads, cantonments, railroad lines, aviation camps and other enemy organizations. It is unnecessary for the gunner to have even a distant view of the object he is firing at. Inventlon Makes Transfer Easy. Invention Makes Transfer Easy. To take a photograph of the enemy lines from a French airplane is an easy matter, but to transfer the objects photographed to their exact location on a map was for a time extremely difficult. This was due to the varying heights and angles from which the airplane observers made their photographs. By the invention of one of the officers attached to the geographical section, this difficulty has been almost eliminated. Not only the aerial observation service but other methods of spotting German positions—more especially cannon and machine-gun emplacements—are utilized as aids to the work of the military map-maker. The flashes of guns as they are fired from the German side form one valuable adjunct to his work, but the most important of all is the calculation of the speed of the sound of the firing charge of the German shells. This has been brought to a basis of such perfection that the guns can now be located with almost absolute accuracy. In fact, in recent operations it has proved that the system of observation by sound has given successful results in over 80 per cent of instances. Maps Brought to Date Daily. In every army there is a branch of the geographical section and each is furnished with a complete lithographic and zinigraphic printing plant and skilled workers, photographers and mathematicians. In a very few hours after the receipt of the day's operations from all the various sources, dozens of copies of the corrected maps are ready for issue to all the staffs of corps, divisions and brigades comprised within the army concerned. Nothing is omitted from the maps—every church, house, chimney, mill, bridge, road, railroad, group of trees is marked, as well as every turn and twist of an enemy trench or system of barbed wire entanglements; every stream, ditch, bridge, ford, every path used by supply parties, every point of resistance, organized shell crater, look-out post is shown on the maps. Maps on a very large scale, are given, when an attack is about to be carried out, so that each officer and man participating may know. exactly what is in front of, him and what he may expect to encounter during his advance. THESE BOYS By ROBERT ADGER BOWEN of The Vigilantes. They are not heroes in their own esteem, These boys whose souls with heroism glow, Whose steadfast eyes so clearly see below The semblance and the glamor of the dream. Yet not the less upon their spirits gleam The joys and splendors of young life's bright show, The ardent flame, the keen desire to know, And love's right royal guerdon to redeem. Will they come back? we ask with quivering breath, Nor dare to show the very dread we feel, So calm and bravely unafraid are they; As though the challenges they make to Death The purposes divine of Life reveal— Tis we who falter at the price they pay! Has Fourteen Sons In War. Greensboro, S. C.-George Borden, a negro of Golsboro, has furnished sons to the war in the sum of nearly two squads. He is the father of 35 children, 27 of them living and 14 of them in the United States army either in this country or in France. He has been married three times and on four occasions has been the father of quadruplets. Chicago. — When the lights were put out the other night in the four-story department store of Moeller Brothers, here, the curtain went down on the first act of a stirring drama of patriotism. The Moeller brothers, John P. and Earl C. have offered up the million-dollar business as a sacrifice on the altar of loyalty to the nation in which their father and grandfather, both German-born, made their fortunes. Stock and buildings have been sold and the brothers now are awaiting daily the call to report for service in Uncle Sam's army. For 40 years the Moellers, grandfather, father and sons, have been building up the business, until last year its transactions totaled more than $1,000,-000. Three and a half years ago the father died and the sons took up the business, which at the time of its liquidation had over 150 employees. HAS HARVESTED MANY CROPS Alabama Farmer Takes 38 of Them From One Piece of Land In Nineteen Years. Montgomery, Ala.—Harvesting 38 crops from one patch in 19 years, purchasing seed potatoes only once in that time, is the record of R. W. Phelps, a prominent farmer of Shotwell, Ala. Mr. Phelps looks after the digging of his potatoes himself and sees that a sufficient number of potatoes are left in the ground to furnish seed for the next crop. After the crop matures the ground is covered with pine straw, not only protecting the crop from cold but also furnishing fertilizer for the next year. Two full crops are grown each year and potatoes fresh from the earth twelve months a year are had by Mr. Phelps' method and gratifying results are obtained in every case. GERMAN HATE HITS Y. M. C. A. Wherever Red Triangle Hut Can Be Located Hun Guns Are Turned on It. Columbus, O.—German hate has been focused on the Y. M. C. A., Rev. Allan MacRossie, New York pastor, who was in France with a clerical commission, wrote Secretary John Pontius of the Central Y. M. C. A., this city. "Wherever a red triangle hut can be located Boche guns are trained in an especial effort to blow it out of existence," Reverend MacRossie, asserted. Continuing he said: "The Germans realize the strengthening of the morale of the soldiers that has grown out of the work of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries. "The French found the Y. M. C. A. broad enough to believe that anything that was good for the men was Christianity." BAR GERMAN-MADE PENCILS Officials in State Offices in Ohio Refuse to Use Supply Bought Before War. Columbus, O.—Officials in state offices here object to using pencils made in Germany, and the purchasing department is at a loss as to what to do with a supply of such pencils bought before the war started. The boiler inspection division of the industrial commission made requisition for pencils and when they received some "made-in-Germany" goods, they' returned them with the remark that members of the division were too patriotic to use the German-made goods. It has been suggested that employees of the statehouse use the pencils in signing Liberty bonds, so as to do Germany as much harm as possible with them, and then burn them up. HIS NURSE A SCHOOLMATE United States Soldier Has a Remarkable Experience in an English Hospital. Tacoma, Wash.—To be nursed back to health in far away England by a former schoolmate is the happy fortune of Perry Howard, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Howard of Puyallup. Mr. Howard is confined in an English hospital suffering from exposure following the sinking of the Tuscania. At the hospital he was assigned to the care of Ada Allan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Allan of Puyallup. Mr. Howard writes his parents that his sufferings and disappointment were in a measure assuaged by meeting with one with whom he could talk over old times. Has His Name Changed. Cleveland, O.—Conserve is the watchword. That is one reason why John L. Thomaszewski said he wanted to change his name to Thomas. "Besides," he said, "two-cylinder names sound more patriotic than twin-sixes." The judge agreed. Poplar Trees Banned. Altoona, Pa.—Poplar trees have come under the ban of the city government. A $10 fine will be imposed for planting any in front of residences. WE SHALL WIN. We shall win this war. There is no serious question about that. It is mainly a question of time and cost. The cost is involved in all of our military effectiveness, which includes the maintenance of present preparation and the making of additional preparation. The time is merely an incident of the cost, and it is not all important. Our military effectiveness depends on two main physical factors, man-power and material, which mean our physical resources. The value of these will be enhanced by science and art. But our military effectiveness depends in equal measure on a factor that is not physical, but spiritual; and that factor resides in the minds, the hearts and the souls of our people. The familiar name for it is Patriotism. It must reside in the hearts of all the people: not combatants alone, but all non-combatants; not officials alone, but all citizens and inhabitants; not men alone, but all women and children. The hearts of all these make the spirit of the nation. Each heart is an influence, and one is as important as another. If the sum of our patriotism could be measured, the general measure of it would depend upon what is in the heart of each and every man, woman and child. It would be the average: Spiritual power in war is as important as material power. The one can be effective of no satisfactory results without the other. Everyone can do as much as anyone else to augment that power. Everyone can do as much as anyone to decrease that power. The person who does neither is a mere cipher. He is worse than a cipher, because he is a slacker, a shirker, a national parasite. He would enjoy the benefits that he gets from residing amongst us, yet give nothing in return. He is a mere thing. In more primitive times such people were often banished.* In times of great family trials all petty differences and quarrels are for the time cast aside or forgotten. All turn upon the common foe. As this is the typical family spirit, so also is it the true national spirit. This is love of country; this is Patriotism. A family divided against itself under such conditions is almost sure to fall. If a people so divided do not always fall, they sometimes suffer a fate scarcely less disastrous, and those members who are responsible for the discord are the worst sufferers. We have touched on this thought in previous articles. It is not necessary to speak plainer. A word to the wise is sufficient. This thought is not directed to any particular class, but if any individual sees in it food for reflection, we have accomplished our purpose. If the cap fits him, let him wear it. To pay war taxes, to buy war bonds and stamps, to perform one's share of labor during this war, are ways to augment our man-power and material. In that some can assist in greater or less measure, while some cannot. But everyone can do something to augment the spiritual power of the nation. Everyone can add a stick of fuel to spread the flame of Patriotism. Some can light a new fire. Some may find an opportunity to revive smouldering embers somewhere. Everyone can do his or her "bit" in some one of these ways. One way to do this is to think "we shall win," say "we shall win," act "we shall win." UP TO YOU, MR. McADOO. The Government, through Mr. Emmett J. Scott, has asked some fifty or more colored men of either State or National prominence, to volunteer their services as speakers to present to the race the war aims of the United States. That is perfectly proper, and those asked gladly tender their services gratis. Now, will the Government expect, ask and insist that these volunteer patriots, while traveling through the country, accept discrimination on railroads? The railroads are now under Government control, and the old argument about States being permitted to make their own laws dealing with intrastate transportation cannot be called into use as a defense for permitting those who have been called to preach loyalty and patriotism to be segregated—positively denied equal accommodations. If our colored men perform their duty in urging members of their race to render the utmost loyalty and service to the Government at this time, then the Government ought to reciprocate by insisting that patriotic servants must not be discriminated against on railroads, in public conveyances, or in public places. It will not conform to the President's preachment, that we entered into this war "to make the world safe for democracy," if Mr. McAdoo permits railroads to jimcrow patriots, merely because of their color, while traveling from city to city, in some sections, to raise their voice for the Government. If those two heroic colored men whose praise writers on white dailies have sung for having repulsed ten times their number, even though seriously wounded themselves, should return to the United States tomorrow, as the laws of the bourbon South are permitted to stand, their heroism would be rewarded with segregation in jim-crow cars. We put the question to you squarely, Mr. McAdoo. As director of the Government-controlled railroads of this country, do you propose that colored speakers sent out to arouse greater patriotism, greater service, and greater sacrifice to help to win this war for world democracy shall be subjected to dirty, inconvenient jim-crow cars? If so, it is a shame: If so, then you ought to pardon these men if they insist that when rendering a loyal freeman's service they must have a loyal freeman's rights. It is in your power, Mr. McAdoo, to order "equal" accommodation for patriots, no matter what their color. Will you do it? Twelve million loyal, patriotic subjects, each and all of whom is straining to win this war, are asking you this question, and they want a direct, unequivocal reply. The move is up to you, Mr. McAdoo! BITTER WITH THE SWEET The killing of two police officers in this city by a colored man whom they had visited to serve a summons, was a most regrettable affair, and the act of that colored man cannot be condoned by any member of the race who is interested in racial advancement. Coming, as it did, immediately upon the heels of the splendid news telling of the heroism and Spartan-like fighting of two colored soldiers of the New York colored regiment over in France, it was the most unwelcome of news to us. While not in the least condoning that murderous, unjustifiable deed committed by the colored man in Washington. Monday night, we cannot help but admit that long persecution, long rank discrimination, long denial of opportunities, quite naturally take root in an ignorant brain, only to germinate hatred and criminal passion. Civilization is now at the greatest crisis, and we fondly hope that when this crisis has passed it will usher us into a period of everlasting peace and uninterrupted justice. When one stops to consider that after all these hundreds of years of civilization, of the supposed beneficial effect of Christianity, millions of men, in Europe, are training to kill, to take human life by the wholesale, and to devastate splendid cities and demolish edifices that have stood for hundreds of years as an evidence of civilization, of humanitarian sentiments and noble aspirations, we naturally shudder for the future. It is not surprising that the thirst for human blood displayed by the Kaiser and his Huns, making it necessary for peace-loving countries to "fight fire with fire," that wickedness—murder—should enter the hearts of ignorant men, even the ignorant colored man. The unjustifiable murder of these two police officers was most regrettable; it mixed, for us, "the bitter with the sweet," and we would there was no "bitter." GENERAL BALLOU EXPLAINS. General Ballou's letter to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, explaining his infamous Bulletin No. 35, and which the latter has mailed to colored newspapers, is merely begging the question. In that order, which lowered General Ballou in the estimation of colored people and colored soldiers, he clearly made policy amount to right; segregation to justice, and even went farther to make the threat "white men made the division, and white men can disband it." If General Ballou could make no better defense of his bulletin than was contained in his letter to Mr. Scott he had better omitted his explanation. To increase, or maintain, the morale of the 92nd Division, a new commander is a paramount necessity. THE RED CROSS PARADE. The Red Cross parade Saturday, May 18th, was one of worthy consideration. Those who arranged it demonstrated the fact that Americans, regardless of color or nationality, were in earnest to help the Government and augment the cause of patriotism to the greatest and richest Government upon this globe. It was an American demonstration, indeed and in fact. Chairman Macfarland is to be congratulated. "OVER HERE" WITH THE W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association in its effort to increase its membership launched a campaign for 1,000 members in five days. The drive was preceded by an enthusiastic mass meeting, held at the Asbury M. E. Church Sunday afternoon, May 5. The speakers were Mrs. B. G. Francis, Mrs. R. L. Dickinson, Mrs. B. K. Bruce, Miss Brown, Mrs. Winn and Miss Eva Bowles, National Secretary of New York. Miss Merritt, the chairman of the campaign, in brief, concise remarks, stated the object of the drive, and definitely outlined the plans of procedure to the captains and their workers, previously organized to conduct the drive. The campaign extended from May 6th to May 10th, and during the week the home of the association, at 429 T street N. W., was the scene of great activity and enthusiasm as the workers made their reports to the different captains. Each meeting opened with prayer and songs of praise and thanksgiving. The campaign song, "Over Here," composed by Mrs. Winn, was sung with cheer and enthusiasm. Light refreshments were served by the household committee. Capt. Marion P. Shadd of Company A, Division 1, reported 561 members, thereby leading in the drive. Each captain was expected to bring in about 250 members. The association went "over the top" the last night of the drive, reporting 1,262 new members. Among these many are girls between the ages of 12 and 18 years, just the age when they need the association most and the association needs them. The work of the Y. W. C. A. is the uplifting of girls and women of our race, and preparing them to rightly fill their places in the world. The land cannot become safe for democracy unless our women are on the same basis with other women, intellectually, morally and spiritually. To accomplish our association needs and solicits the assistance of every true woman of Washington. The association thanks the public for its loyal co-operation and support toward making the drive a grand success. WILLIAM HAHN. Long before the United States went to war with Germany the three big shoe stores of William Hahn & Co. were preparing to meet present market conditions. They were buying shoes and storing them away against the present great advance in wholesale prices. Consequently these three big stores are now prepared to retail shoes in good, honest, reliable quantities that have always been famous at Hahn stores—for considerably less than the present market prices. Hahn's shoes are famous not only for their quality and fair prices—for the marked distinctness of their styles. After forty-two years of successful shoe selling to the people of Washington the Hahn stores no doubt are proud of the fact that their success has been due largely to the constant patronage of the colored folks in Washington. This house deserves the patronage of our race—because we are always sure of getting good merchandize and fair and decent treatment at the Hahn stores. Don't forget the address—7th and K Streets N. W., 233 Pennsylvania Avenue S. E., and 1914-1916 Pennsylvania Avenue N. W. MRS. HOWARD GOULD. Mrs. Howard Gould of New York and company visited the Willow Tree Alley Playgrounds Tuesday afternoon. They were highly pleased with Miss Ollie Kibble and her work. She said that she would call again. HOWARD THEATER. The play this week at the Howard is keeping up with all former plays. The play next week will be a gem. You should not miss it. SUNDAY SUPPER SHOWS. The supper shows that have been inaugurated at the Howard are becoming the most popular assets to theatergoers. The sight is worth observing. The Hiawatha and the Foraker Theaters, under the management of Mr. Murray, afford the people much pleasure. Strangers coming to the city should not fail to attend these theaters. REVIVAL SERVICES The congregation of the Antioch Baptist Church, 220 Massachusetts avenue N. W., Rev. Peter Ailes, pastor, have been holding revival meetings for several weeks, with a large turnout of the people. Rev. Edgar Newton has been conducting the services, which have been very impressive. Already there has been several converts, who will be baptized in Rev. Cravens Church at the conclusion of these revival meetings. Mrs. Ailes, assisted by many others, conducted the singing. There is in preparation a queen's rally, which will be very interesting. Mrs. Ailes has it in charge. LOCAL NOTES The annual commencement of the National Training School, at Lincoln Heights, D. C., will be held June 7th. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the energetic president, has secured the services of Mrs. Booker T. Washington as the orator of the day. Mr. L. M. Hershaw, trustee of Atlanta University, has been added to the list of speakers who will discuss the war aims of the government at various public meetings. Mr. Hershaw is well posted on the issues that are now being fought out "over there" and will be a power on the platform. Dr. A. M. Curtis has returned from his triumphal tour of the West. He performed many important surgical operations at Okmulgee, Okla, where he was the especial guest of the Oklahoma State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association at its annual convention. He also performed sixteen major operations at the leading hospital in Kansas City. At both places he spoke to large audiences on health, hygiene and kindred subjects, and was accorded much social attention by the business and professional factors of the two States. Mr. Albert H. Adams has been promoted to a $1,200 position in the Department of Labor. A fitting recognition of efficient service. One of the most interesting of the new men who have come to Camp Meade with the detachment from the 350 Battalion of Field Artillery for the intensive training is First Lieut. George L. Vaughn of St. Louis, who received his preliminary training at the famous camp at Fort Dodge, Iowa, last summer. For a number of years he was a practicing lawyer at the St. Louis bar and has done much work for the civic and religious uplift of his people in the Missouri metropolis. *** Mrs. Charles H. Anderson, of New York City, formerly connected with the Quality Amusement Corporation, was a recent visitor to this city. Mrs. Anderson may accept a position under the Federal Government. ENGLISH WOMEN DOING "BIT" Now Engaged in Forty Lines of War Employment in the British Isles. London.—Those who have thought that the women of England might not have been doing their bit in the prosecution of the war were astonished when they entered the imperial war exhibition at Burlington House to see forty different uniforms worn by women in service. These show that women are engaged as messengers, munition and agricultural workers, nurses, etc., and that they are the pride of the girlhood of the country. Not satisfied with this showing the women managers of the exhibition have issued an appeal to have women engaged in out of the way positions report, that their jobs may be added to the daily increasing lists. BURNING GAS WELL TAMED Flames Finally Brought Under Control After Burning for Eighteen Months. Pasco, Wash.—Out in the suge-brush-covered wastes of Eastern Washington there has just been tamed a big gas well, and development work on the property is now under way. The flow of gas was discovered three years ago, when a misguided settler drilled for water and had a four-inch pipe blown out of the ground. A year later a passerby threw a lighted match into the gas, and for 18 months the well burned day and night, a beacon visible for miles around. Three months ago the old well was capped, the gas used to provide fuel for a modern drilling engine, and an 18-inch pipe has just been sunk into the gas reservoir. DID NOT KNOW OF WAR BETWEEN U. S. AND FRITZ San Francisco.—The recruiting officer over at Colfax, near here, notified army headquarters that he had found a man of military age who professed not to know that the United States and Germany are at war. He said he had heard that Germany was fighting France and England and "hoped she would win," as he was a German. He admitted that he had registered for the draft, but claimed he did not know the purpose of it. KAISER DENOUNCED IN WILL Aged New Yorker Leaves Large Bequests to Various French War Charities. New York.—Vehement denunciation of the kaiser as a barbarian who criminally caused the war is contained in the will of Jean Baptiste Bourdis, generally known as John Bourdis, filed for probate in the surrogate's court. Generous bequests are made to French war charities. Bourdis was seventy-six years old when he died on December 23. He retired last year from the silk firm of J. Bourdis & Co. The largest bequest is 500,000 francs, for the relief of helplessly crippled French soldiers, "victims of the criminal war imposed by one man, the barbarous German Emperor William II for the satisfaction of his own ambitions." Thirty thousand francs each are left to four hospitals in Lyons, France. The city of Lyons acts 100,000 francs, the income of which is to be used for the purchase of paintings for the pupils of the Ecole, des Beaux Arts at Lyons, where Bourdifs was a pupil. ROOMS FOR RENT. One or two rooms, furnished or unfurnished, near Dunbark School. "OUIRED 13 TIMES, BUT DON'T WORRY." HE SAYS Freemart, L. L.—"I have been hit by shimpel and got thirteen wounds—the head, both arms, body, and right leg. Outside of that I am O. K., so don't worry." Such is the word received here from Corp. Arthur C. Trayer of Company D, One Hundred and Sixty-fifth infantry, Rainbow division, by his father. HEROINES IN BATTLE Washington.—Young women of a Red Cross front line unit made a line record in the opening German offensive in France. At Roye they took over the direction of military traffic. One girl in uniform standing at the four corners directed columns of guns, cavalry, supply wagons and troops, thus preventing a traffic jam. These women were the last to leave several towns before the Germans entered. They aided hundreds of refugees and established temporary kitchens, where, among others, 250 British soldiers who had not eaten for many hours were fed. The girls also established an information bureau at Montdidier until, this town was captured by the Germans. They picked up wounded when they were unable to make their way to dressing stations, and brought food to canteens and kitchens to keep them going. At times the girls were only one day ahead of the advancing Germans and once crossed a bridge only a few moments before it was blown up. For eight days they worked without removing their clothes, sleeping on straw in barns when they could sleep, and eating irregularly. All in all, the conduct of American girls and women back of the lines is calculated to inspire our soldiers to the highest courage and exertions. "13" IN ACTS OF PRESIDENT Unlucky Number Plays an Important Part in Transactions of Chief Executive. Washington.—Another reason has been discovered for the eerie air of mystery that always cloaks the number 13. In the latest report of the attorney general concerning pardons granted federal prisoners by the president the fateful figures predominate. For instance, 94 persons were granted permission, upon serving their sentences, to enjoy civil rights again. The combination of 9 and 4 makes 13. The president also restored the rights of citizenship to 13 deserters from the army and navy. The total number of pardon applications granted by him was 328, and these numbers if taken separately and added combine into the old and gloomy 13. Now then, if one still has doubts concerning the finalistic features of the number, it might be added that the president denied 31 applications. Reverse that—and what have you? INTERNED HUNS STEAL BOAT Kill Guard, Capture Dutch Submarine at Java, and Make Their Escape. San Francisco—How the crew of an interned German ship at Java captured a Dutch submarine and escaped from the port with it, was told by Fritz von Ebelshon, a Dutch clitizen visiting here. The submarine had just returned to Java after a six-months' cruise, and all of the crew except an anchor watch being entertained at a banquet on shore when the Germans, stealthily leaving the interned German ship Graf von Luttwitz in a rowboat, made their way to the side of the submarine and boarded her, taking the anchor watch by surprise. One of the Dutch sailors was killed and the others were held prisoner, while the Germans manned the submarine and escaped. Von Ebelshon declared the censorship had been very strict and he did not know whether or not pursuing vessels ever recaptured the diver. 2,000 MILES FOR FAREWELL Aged Father Travels From Calgary, Canada, to Camp Taylor, to Bid Boys Good-By. Louisville, Ky.—After traveling 2,000 miles, Clinton Vance, eighty-two years old, is here to visit his two soldier sons, now at Camp Zachary Taylor. Mr. Vance left his home near Calgary, Canada, some time ago, after receiving a letter from his sons saying they expected soon to leave for "over there." He and his sons moved to Canada three years ago from Orleans, Ind., and at the outbreak of the war both of the young men returned home to collect. Mr. Vance is a farmer near Calgary, and sold both of his sons The Week in Society BOARD'S. The price is important, but what you get for the price is more important. Get the best for your money by buying reliable products from a reliable store.

Gray. inty inity here in the world with whom in him, worng, and is constantly referring to "my has bound." Sancho or another that "my" sounded so possessive case like. The guy what swore to support and protect this $1,000 per woman was sure hers—was really one of them "my" husbands, cause she supported him on her earnings. At the same gathering, it was one of them N. A. A. C. P. ralleys, I also met a fellow with about four tons of aspirations and about one drachma of energy, and who occasionally makes a noise like work, who had a wife what is drawing down about $1,400 per, and every whipstitch he had something to say about his "my" wife. Every time he said it, it sounded, to yours truly, like a nasal expression which when translated to twentieth century English, was a headliner for "meal ticket," cause that "my" wife of his is sure some meal ticket for him. You know in them there old fashion days they used to be so provincial as to harbor the insane idea that when a fellow married a bunch of China silk and diaphanous gowns, and bargain-counter lingerie he ought to support her. But that old provincial stuff appears to have been handed a solar plexus here of late. You know, away-back there in that age when the coal we are now burning as a fuel was just big trees and underbrush to top of the ground, they used to say: "any man can get married." cause there were so many more women than men. Then there came another age when only a limited number of men got married, according to Hoyle, these useless appepledixes of life prefering to be gay and lacivious rues sailing under the title of "bachelor." And now comes an age when they are saying "any woman can get married" if she's got a job, and is willing to hang on to that job, after the minister files the marriage certificate as a matter of record. Now, I ain't got nothing but a bunch of enconiums, and a load of praise, and a handful of commendation for the little woman what's ready and eager to jump in and earn a few legitimate dimes and quarters to help her husband meet the profiteer's high assessments for Hooverized grub and fuel. She's the kind of a woman that old Confucius had in mind when he said, "She's a perfect mate," and the kind of a woman what that other old sage who is now resting in some substrata, or umpiring in the Paradise League, said was "God's best gift to man." But the woman what's willing to hook up to some profligate, some cuss what is so lazy that he's just got energy enough to hunt for a meal ticket, and is willing to furnish that meal ticket while "he" hangs around the street corners, warms the chairs in syncopated barber shops, and makes weekly visits to Baltimore, ain't playing the game according to Hoyle. It always grates on my granulated orifices when I hear one of these kind of vinyard laborers talking about "my" husband. And when I hear one of these "from soup to nuts" fellows what's willing to work semi-occasionally, and attitudinize regularly, talk about "my" wife. I always have the same kind of a feeling that a fellow has who has eaten about six deviled crabs and then drunk about four glasses of sweet milk right on top of them there swine of the sea what lives on putrid matter. At this little gathering what I have referred to there were about four couples who are in the False Conception League. Now, the False Conception League is that league where the female players have piled up a season record of .490 as meal ticket batters, and a fielding average of .986 as bread winners, while the male players have made a season average of .170 as meal ticket batters and .140 as bread winners. Why I know one of these exresencec who ain't done a frazzling thing since he married a little $1,000 per bread winner, but try to get an exemption from the draft because he has a wife on whom he's dependent. If I was a girl, and was batting .480 in the Producers League, and fielding 986 in the same league, I'd much rather take my little old $900 or $1,200 per and buy silk hose, Woodruff & Lothrop "just in" lingerie, and Paquin & Worth gowns from Hecht on the installment plan than furnish meal tickets, and a room for some mooneyed son-of-a-gun who did nothing but attitudize, smoke Pell Mell cigarettes, and eat lobster a la newberg at the expense of a bunch of bargain-counter lingerie. If it is just a plain, unvarnished man these women want, they can hire some nestor of the Bookworm League who will call around semi-occasionally and read Oscar Wilde's verses to them for city cents per hour. Some girls think it's a reflection on their ability to attend to get through life as a bachelor just let your last season's uni-along against an 1860 model that there is more satisfaction, likes, and more Liberty Bond a bachelor girl than any instudents whose chief occupation is living on your earnings. I got a peculiar notion about women, and just cause I like them, I suppose. I can't help but think that a woman was intended to be man's rose garden, instead of his stevador. I'm just naturally so old fashion that I can't help but think that woman ought to ornament the house instead of plastering it over with sacrifices; and I am just so full of antedeluvian theories as to believe that a woman who jumps out and hustles; helps to carry the load of proileers' assessments on Hooverized necessities for a hubby what is also doing his level best to pay off the mortgage on the little home, and keeps up his life insurance payments, is one more jewel what's batting at a furious clip, and fielding like a Miranville, in order to get on the Comfortable, Old Age League by and by. I was talking to Doc Sum Wormley the other day, and you know when it comes to doping out domestics, Sum is a whale of a hitter and holder. Sum said that before he'd marry a girl just to get a meal ticket, a brass bed and a bath tub, with real bath towels, and all them other conveniences, he'd reduce the price of pulling useless teeth to ten cents per dozen, and then play the races at Bowie to make up the difference. The best evidence in the world that Sum was sincere in this antedeluvian philosophy is that he is still just keeping on smiling on the women folks without taking the chance of making them stevadores for his line of submarines. And in a heart-to-heart talk with Jim Cobb, the blases bachelor around these diggings, he said, after quoting copiously, and confusedly, from old Licargus, Cicero, Confucius, and a lot of other mummied seers that used to play in the Mythology League: "I've remained single most of my life because I never figured out that I had enough coin saved to make a woman feel like she was incapacitated for furnishing the meal ticket. I always felt that when a woman just marries some dark complexioned hphole to support him it was like one of them interlocking dictionaries." Eddie Burrill, another submersible bachelor, who has made an occult study of the matrimonial proposition, here and abroad, told me that he always had a particular aversion to any bunch of lingerie submerging him with that old "my" husband stuff, and that he would rather be a momative "I" five seconds by a Waterbury watch than a possessive ca "my" in a brown stone front and with a Seligman pocketbook for fifty calendar years. Now, Eddie Burrill, taking him up one side and down the other, is one of them there wise old owls what can see just as clear in the day as he can see four of a kind in the depth of the night with all the glimmers doused. Take it from me, you unmarried girls who are Hooverizing along $900 to $1,800 per, stay right in the Bachelor Girl League for ever rather than get yourself obligated to get off that "my" husband serio-comic stuff. I used to like music. Even when I was making $1.75 per day driving a coal wagon I used to blow a whole dollar to sit up in the peanut gallery to hear Patti warble on one of her many "farewell" tours. When I worked up to $600 per year I used to blow 25 cents every time it was announced that Doc Sum Wormley would make Caruso look like a bunch of bainanas packed in a stile full of spaghetti. But the other day I got my fill of music, and I doubt now if I shall ever go to hear Doc Sum Wormley sing even "The Warrior." I dropped in a syncopated barber shop the other day, and there were four black birds settin' in a row pickin' on guitars, ukalalies and "smother" similar instruments. All the time I was gettin' shaved they kept up their plunkin' on these instruments. I murmured once, loud enough for all of them to hear, that they ought to be in the Boston Symphony Orchestra, but they never tumbled—just kept on plunkin', as Rev. Simon P. W. would say, in his absent sort of way, "abstivily and positutely" nothin' When the syncopated artist what was shavin' me got through, and I got up and looked in the glass, I found I had a beautiful razor swipe on my chin to represent a Beethoven sonnata; a dent in my right cheek to represent a Liest rhapsody; a Wagnerian slit, on my left cheek and a Sousa march just below my left ear. You see, the guy what was shavin' me got so hypnotized and charmed with that Goat alley music them syncopated amateur musicians were trying to play that he just naturally tried to make a bar of music, razor cuts, out of my face. * * * This just finished my love for music and hereafter I want my music in broken doses. Now that just brings me up to ask why is it that so many syncopated barber shops, especially designed, and fitted out with a lot of discarded furniture and soiled towels, usually have a lot of guitar or mandolin, pickers sitting around plunkin' at music they don't know just to annoy customers? Nearly everything the race has engaged in is progressin' exceptin' the barber business, and that seems to be driving back to the stone age faster than the Pennsylvania Limited runs be New York and Chicago. OUT OF DATE. Jim Crow laws are out of date, Despite "Old Pitch Fork Ben." Despite the South's oppressive laws designed To Crush Free Men. Just think, within the Senate walls in these momentous days A piny mean and unjust soul Lifts up his voice and brays, For Jim Crow Cars upon the streets Where Freedom's laws are made. Where boastful words inform the world We will all Free Men aid. This mighty nation sends her sons Across the treacherous seas To meet the hauty Autocrat And bring him to his knees. The Black Boys go to do their bit, Forgiving all past wrongs. They gladly give their all; their lives. To break the Tyrants thongs. They'll bravely face the cannon's mouth, The poisonous gas and flame That that Old Flag the Stars and Stripes May uphold her great lame. The dark-skinned mothers give their sons, Nor murmur nor complain. But look to God and hope and pray The giving is not in vain. That their unselfish sacrifice May open up the way And break down all Race Prejudice In not a distant day. This country calls on all of her sons To battle Freedom's foe For "Old Mars" knows no color line They all have got to go. There are no Jim Crow German guns Or Jim Crow submarines. And on the deadly firing line No Jim Crow bars nor screens. Yes, Jim Crow laws are out of date Despite "Old Pitchfork Ben." Despite the South's race-hating laws Designed to crush Free Men. If half of the world is fighting now For justice as they claim. There'll be short thrift for unjust laws When Peace Times' come again And Pitchfork Ben and all his kind Must face the Music then And learn that justice knows no race But knows all men as men. —James Conway Jackson.

The Negro should be kept in his place. The thing to do is to see to it that he is taught his place. Then, see that he keeps it. Too many Negroes either do not know their place, or, knowing it, willfully neglect to keep it. I quite agree with the declaration of the reactionary propagandist "keep the Negro in his place," but differ widely with their purpose and their designation of what or where his place is. The Constitution of the United States has fixed his place. His place as a citizen is well defined. He must not under any circumstances occupy any other place. The place is his purchased with his blood, and he should suffer the greatest privation and make the greatest sacrifice to keep it. He who would indicate or point out any other place for his occupancy is to be shunned as a deadly plague. He is a Bolshevik, and will strip him of his rights as guaranteed by the Constitution. The place for him to occupy is the place that his valor on a hundred battlefields has won. The place that his labor and toil, first as a slave, and then as a freeman, has earned for him. His worth as a man capable of thinking, planning, creating, stamps him as inferior to none. He is in his proper place now in Europe battling valiantly for the freedom of humanity, and in America aiding in every conceivable way to defeat the aims and designs of a haughty despotism; a despotism that would enslave the entire civilized world; a despotism more terrible and cruel than the one which once held him slave. In all ages man's status in his state is fixed by his heroism and valor in time of war. The old feudal system of England, whence comes our laws touching real property, is based on this theory. Lands and rights were granted by the conquering lords to their knights for service thus well rendered. The Negro, from the early colonial wars to the fight of Carrizal in Mexico, has covered himself with glory. Thus his deeds of heroism in time of war and his sturdy qualities in time of peace have amply established his claim to place amongst the foremost in the enjoyment of the rights of citizenship. -Wm.

Hon. ‘Thomas W. Gregory, Attorney General of the United States, Washington, D. C: Dear Sir:—In, the press of May 6 and May.7 there ig reported-an ad- dress said to have been delivered by you to the Executive Committee of the American Bar Association, in which ‘you'urged an Gducational cam- paign’ against lynchi law. Such a tampaign is sorely needed. In. the press reports of your address to. the Bar Association’ reference to indi- vidual cases is wholly to mob vio: lence occasioned by public, resent ment of alleged German propaganda In-one part of your address you say very truly, that unless the hysteri which results in the lynching of. met is chécked, it: will create a condition of lawlessness from ‘which -we wil suffer for.a hundred years. We would’ most respectfully cal |to your attention the fact “that thi | condition. of lawlessness “which yor apprehend, and from which you be lieve we will: suffer for. a hundre years unless steps are taken immedi ] ately to check it, is’ now and’ ha been in existence for many year | pas. Its victims have been largel; Negroes, Since 1885 between 3,00 _|and 4,000 cases’ of lynching have bee reported. Recently this associatio j|caused .one of its staff to make careful investigation of the files the Chicago Tribune, the New Yor Tribune and other daily papers, magz zities and books for the purpose < compiling information in detail cor cerning lynchings. The compiler ha found only three ifstances in, whic lynchers have been punished. I two of thes€ cases the victim‘of th mob was .white. In the third tas that of a particularly atrocious mu der of a Tennessee farmer and h two daughters, the Iynchers were tw young and friendless white, boys. — tron is ‘that eID ee on eg wt and children have been Killed and lynched ‘by mobs, in’ addition’ to: two white men, one of these being Robert) Prager. Four Negroes were lynched in Alabama,-2 in Arkansas, 1 in Flor- ida, 7 in Georgia, xin Kentucky, 11 in Louisiana, 3 in Mississippi, 1 in North ! Carolina, 2 in Oklahoma, 2 in South, Carolina,|s in Tennessee, 9 in Texas, 2.in Virginia, x in West’.Virginia.and 1 in Wyoming. In addition to these’ cases of lynching per se, 175 men, women and. children were tortured, burned and killed in East St. Louis in July, 1917, and '3 ‘Negroes were killed by a mob at Chester, Pa; .in September, 1917. In some of these cases the Iynchings were particularly atrocious.. In. Tennessee, for ex~ ainple, three men were burned at the stake, the burnings ~ being accom- |panied by savage torturing. In one case, which occurred two weeks ago, the body of the victim was burned at the stake after having been lynched by hanging. oa In the case of the Negroes who ‘|have! been lynched no, question of loyalty to their country has, been raised in any case. “The crimes of which they were accused were ordi- hnary’ crimes for “which civil courts do now and havé always provided adequate remedies. and certain pun- ishment.

We quote froma letter of April 25 from the Hon, Theo. G. Bilbo, Governor of Mississippi. “Under ‘our system of laws in Mis; gissippi, the Governor would ‘have no jurisdiction in this matter. After the lynching’ has been committed itis the duty of the Grand Jury. of the coun- ty to make the investigation and re- port the violation of the law.” " ‘The following from Governor Rye of Tennessee is to the same effect: “I ‘could*not: anticipate that local officers, whose duty it is to take cus- tody of prisoners, would fail to at- {cord protection, nor could any ac- Jtion pon my, part be taken without | being requested so to do by the local | authorities“or court officers.” |" If, as the Governor of Mississippi Jand. the Governor of Tennessee say || the laws of the states do not permit .| their: governors to act in defense o!

During the seventeenth century Al- sace and Lorraine became very much @ center for various lines of art and especially for the making of the ‘vari- ‘ous styles of furniture. which "have since won for themselves fixed places {n the history and development of artistic furnishings.: Because Alsace ahd Lorraine were the centers of the various trades, art crafts and manu- | facturers that were employed in the || production of these historic styles of furniture, thousands of -the best pleces-remained in the-two provinées ‘| where they became hetrlooms in the ‘| native families. *, : 8 |".

Dudley is back in town for good; having finished his second successful season with Dave Marion's "World of Frolic" as leading comedian. Mr. Dudley has some big plans in connection with the development of his booking business. Owing to war conditions he will not be able to enlarge his Mid-City Theater this summer. Instead, he is opening the large store next door as an adjunct to his popular playhouse. The new place will be ready for formal opening about June r. "The House of Bondage" was well acted by the Quality Amusement Corporation last week. Cleo Desmond as the country girl lured into white slavery, was at her best, and Carlotta Freeman added to her long list of triumphs as "Rose Legere," keeper of a white slave depot, disguised as a modiste's shop. Iris Hall came info her own as "Evelyn," an inmate, of the dive, and did the best piece of acting she has given since her advent into the Quality company. With opportunity Miss Hall will rank with the ablest of the Levy players, as she has youth, beauty and ambition as her primal assets; in connection with her talents. Clarence E. Muse was a splendid Italian, and Andrew Bishop, Charles Moore, Elizabeth Williams, Arthur Ray and H. L. Pryor filled out an admirable cast. Next attraction by this company will be a love story, "Broken Threads," week of May 27th. It is expected that the aggregation will then pack up and replace the Abbie Mitchell players in Chicago for a spin around the western wheel. Visitors to the stage of the Howard Theater must now have passes from the management-or stay out. * * * The musical comedy section of the Quality Company is here this week in "Alma, Where Do You Live?"

The Red Cross is the medium through which we can and must pour forth our sympathy and love. It's a wonderful work they are doing to snatch the dying from the brink of the grave, to feed the hungry and to bring cheer to the broken-hearted and homeless ones "over there." The humblest of us may take part in this good work. Every man, woman and child is asked to contribute, even though the amount given by each individual is necessarily small. Then, too, we must not forget our own boys. Uncle Sam has seen them safe across—we must help to bring them back to us safe and sound again. May 20th to 27th is RED CROSS WEEK throughout the country—$100,000,000 must be raised if the good work is to continue. Now is the time to help. If you don't help and won't help, then let shame forever rest upon your head. But you will give, and generously, too, won't you? Do it for the sake of those who have sacrificed their all—give because it is a noble cause to which you are contributing—give until the heart says stop. Until then you have not done your all.
