NO. 8 SCHOOL CLOSING COLUMBIA CONSERVATORY Judge Terrell Commends Professor Adams and His Conservatory of Music. Brilliant Commencement Program—Mrs. Harrison, Graduate, Triumphs—Mr. Thompson Delivers an Address. The commencement and graduating recital of the Columbia Conservatory of Music at Berean Baptist Church last Tuesday evening, June 11th, was one of the most interesting closing exercises ever held in the city. The auditorium was nicely decorated and a splendid audience turned out on the occasion. Wellington A. Adams, the president, presided with grace and dignity and was made to feel proud during the evening in the excellent tributes paid him in his work in this city by the speakers. The exercises opened with invocation by Prof. E. N. Broadenax, followed by piano selections by Miss Annie Chavious and Mrs. E. Harrod Groce, and vocal number by Mrs. Grace McDaniel. Mr. Adams then deferred introducing the speaker of the evening to Judge Robert H. Terrell, who presented Mr. R. W. Thompson in the annual address. In his remarks Judge Terrell paid a glowing tribute and endorsement to Mr. Adams for his splendid work in this city, saying that he deserves the support of the people, that he is a useful citizen, gifted and energetic and always aspiring to higher things. He then said of Mr. Thompson that he is one of the greatest colored journalists in the country, and commended his efforts in the uplift of the race. He was heartily applauded Mr. Thompson's address teemed with many brilliant thoughts, quoting poems of Dunbar, mentioning compositions of Burleigh and Rosamond Johnson, Coleridge-Taylor and Cook, and Wellington A. Adams' notable contributions to music, which drew forth warm plaudits from the audience. Indeed, Mr. Thompson paid as fine a tribute to Mr. Adams as was ever given a man hereabouts, and predicted for him and the Conservatory a great and glorious future. His topic was "Music, the Keynote of Patriotism," and was well treated and graciously received. He urged his hearers to stand by the Conservatory, support Mr. Adams in his wonderful work, and strive always for higher attainments. Then followed Part II of the program, with Mrs. Ora Harrison, graduate of the pianoforte, in recital, and to her went the crown of triumph. She swept the audience off its feet and dazed them with her brilliant rhapsodical, entrancing technique, manifesting such dexterity as is exhibited in an artist of another race. Hardly had she concluded her first piano number ere they blindly encored her, so pleased were the hearers. It can be truthfully said that no Conservatory in Washington ever had a more finished graduate in piano than the Columbia Conservatory this term. The comments that passed through the audience was evidently an acknowledgment that the Conservatory had come and conquered all doubts as to its ability to turn out competent pianists and the like and compliments were numerously bestowed upon the performer and school. Other numbers of splendid rendition and taste were a soprano solo by Mrs. W. Roberta Dudley, who sang sweetly and showed marked talent as a coming vocalist of the race. Mrs. Dudley is a vocal student of the Conservatory. A reading by Madame Anna Lee Slade on "The Tenth Cavalry" drew forth hearty Contri applause from the auditors. Mme. Slade is director of the School of Dramatic Expression in the Conservatory and no better teacher may be had by pupils, for she is a lady of great dramatic ability. Mr. Uzziah Miner, A. B., in presenting the diploma to the graduate-student, again paid Mr. Adams a high compliment, and said that the Columbia Conservatory ranked with the best in the country; that the great performance of Mrs. Harrison on the piano stamped her as an artist and placed the Conservatory upon a pedestal defying criticism in its work. He urged the citizens to uphold the Conservatory in helping to teach our young people in things of musical benefit. Mrs. Harrison gracefully received her diploma amid loud applause. Upon the platform were seated Mr. R. W. Thompson, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Mr. Uzziah Miner, A. B., Madame Marie Jumper, teacher in the Conservatory, and Madame Anna L. Slade, also teacher. The ushers were beautifully attired, headed by Mrs. J. W. Hardwick, who spared neither time nor labor to make the occasion a success, with the following ladies: Misses Janie Bomar, Macie Wells, Lucy Johnson and Mrs. Sylva Washington. Thus closed one of the best commencements ever held in this city, and the playing of Mrs. Harrison will never be forgotten by those present. REV. W. S. JACKSON. Rev. W. S. Jackson, the faithful pastor of Simpson M. E. Church, who is serving his loyal congregagregation for the tenth year, will be sent to one of the greatest conventions of the Methodist Church, to be held at Columbus, Ohio, week of June 17, 1918. This convention is to be the greatest ever held for the spread of the Gospel. Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, the field secretary of the M. E. Church, brought this great movement to the minds of the members and they responded at once. The following list of names shows the members who contributed to defray the expenses of the trip: G. W. Jones, W. A. C. Hughes, H. G. Fulton, Wm. Clements, Cornelius Robinson, Alex. Hall, Hannah Bond, Edward Powell, Louisa Butler, Eugene Samuels, Mary Samuels, C. M.

These members each contributed $1, with two exceptions. LEAVES WITHOUT COLORS. Dr. Whippler Says 368th Regiment Colors Will Be Given Some Other Regiment. Over a month ago Dr. Ionia Whippler started a movement to raise sufficient money to purchase a stand of colors for the 368th Regiment. When called up by The Bee on Wednesday, Dr. Whippler said that her committee was not ready to make a report. When advised that the 368th was about to leave, she stated that the stand of colors would not be given to the 368th now, but HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN would be given to some other regiment yet to be formed. As many contributed under the impression the stand of colors would be presented to the 368th, containing many home boys, and as the committee appears to have no definite time set for purchasing, or especial regiment for presenting the colors to, the consensus of opinion appears to be that Dr. Whippler should make a report of the funds collected, and then turn it over to some war relief organization. As the Government furnishes each regiment formed with a stand of colors, the funds collected by Dr. Whippler's committee for a stand of colors might be more usefully expended. The Bee will be glad to publish Dr. Whippler's report of funds received when she has, it ready TASIE RED CROSS AMBULANCE KILLS CHILD. Windell Winston, the 6-year-old son of Mrs. Pauline Winston, of 1912, Fifteenth Street N.W., was crushed to death by a Red Cross ambulance while backing up into an alley near Rhode Island Avenue last Monday afternoon. The car was operated by a woman operator, who took little Windell to the Emergency Hospital, where he died just after being able to give his mother's address. Mrs. Winston, the mother of the child, who is an employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, upon reaching the house and receiving the news of her son's death, became almost frantic.

First of all, it means an opportunity to demonstrate how truly patriotic they are by showing their willingness to sacrifice their luxuries and comforts in order that the soldiers, many of whom are colored, may have all the supplies and equipment they need. When you buy things that you don't need, you deprive the soldiers of the things they do need. The War Savings Stamp campaign is a splendid opportunity for the colored people to save money in case hard times should come again. You buy a War Savings Stamp for $4.17 now, and on January 1, 1923, you receive $5 for it. You invest money that otherwise would be wasted. The wise man looks ahead, and puts aside money for "the rainy day." You get interest at 4 per cent; you are lending money to the government of the United States—the strongest and safest nation and government in the world. In case of necessity, you can get the stamps redeemed at any time. It is the best investment in the entire world. You are not giving away your money—you are simply lending it at a good rate of interest. Every time you buy a War Savings Stamp you are helping to win the war, just like the patriots of your race who are in the army. When the war is over, and they come back to America, you don't want to be pointed out as the man who refused to back them up by not lending his money to the government. You don't want to be the unpatriotic man who wouldn't give up a single luxury for his country's sake. Show that you stand back of the soldiers by pledging to save and invest in War Savings Stamps. Many of the colored people have shown their patriotism by helping the Red Cross, and by buying Liberty Bonds. War Savings Stamps cost so little that every one can show his or her patriotism. This is an opportunity for all. For your sake, for the soldiers' sake, and for your country's sake, buy all the War Savings Stamps that you can. THIRTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY Last Saturday, June 1st, The Bee entered into its thirty-ninth year. Saturday, June 22d, the management will issue an anniversary edition, which will contain some very interesting matter, which should not be overlooked.

One of the founders of industrial education in the public schools and the man who has sent out into the world some of the most successful mechanics is Prof. J. H. Hill, a teacher of carpentry in the public schools. When industrial education was in its infancy, Prof. Hill made it possible for young men to learn a trade. He deserves a medal and the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a teacher. C. W. ANDERSON A 'COLONEL.' Ex-Revenue Collector Honored by 367th Negro Regiment. Camp Upton, N. Y., June 6.—The 367th Negro Infantry today presented to Charles W. Anderson, former Collector of Internal Revenue, a commission as honorary colonel of the regiment, in acknowledgment of the support he has given both the regiment and its Welfare League. Mr. Anderson was summoned to camp not knowing the reason for his visit. The entire command of 3,800 officers and men were assembled at the Buffalo Auditorium. Col. James A. Moss presented the commission. So far as is known, Col. Moss said, no other regiment in this country has an honorary commanding officer, although persons in the nobility have been designated by various European military units MOUNTAIN VIEW HOUSE. Harper's Ferry, W. Va., June 12. For the sixth time W. W. Martin opens Mountain View House. The first arrivals were Mr. G. W. Dockins of Sparrows Point, Md.; Mr. Archer Linsey, McKeesport, Pa.; Lieut. D. G. Hill, Camp Meade; Mrs. May Edwards Hill, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Violet White, Baltimore; Miss Grace M. Hill, Baltimore; Mr. Ogden Williams, Catonsville, Md., and Mr. H. O. Abbott, Topeka, Kansas. The Y. M. C. A. Summer School opened on Wednesday, June 12th, with a large attendance. The men began coming early in the week and before the opening more than 25 had arrived. There is no doubt but that the 100-mark will be reached. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlin came with the advance guards: Mr. Hamlin is quartermaster sergeant of the camp. Dean and Mrs. Morland are on the grounds, and men are coming in from all of the army camps. The season will be the largest since Mr. Martin's management. 39th ANNIVERSARY MARCH. Dedicated to the Editor by Prof. Wellington A. Adams. One of the prettiest marches that one would desire to hear has been composed and put in print and dedicated to. The Bee, on the occasion of its 39th anniversary by Prof. Wellington A. Adams, of the Columbia Conservatory of Music. Pouring over the exchanges that come to William Calvin's sanctum sanctorium, last Saturday I picked up George Knox's weekly palladium that has been known ever since the late lamented Ed. Cooper started it, as "The Indianapolis Freeman." Dick Thompson, who hibernates around these diggin's, and massages news for the colored papers of the country just for his own edification, appeared to be the principal contributor. He had columns and columns of stuff in The Freeman last week, some breezy and sparklin', some newsy and entertainin', and the whole layout representin' Dick's interest in and contribution to race progress. We rise to remark, "by way of antidotal," as Brother Maxfield used to say when he would be whoopin' things up at Bethel Literary, that when it comes to a nose for news, and a desire to camouflage the news, Dick has the world beat, and a few of the planets that are hangin' up in the nebular azure. If colored newspapers paid Dick for the stuff he sends them at so much per line, he'd been in Pierpont Morgan's class right today, and ridin' around in a Pierce-Arrow for pleasure and usin' a Ford just to send his correspondence to the post office. And if the dark-complexioned cromos what he introduces to the readin' public each week rewarded him with so much as a jitney every time he spreads printer's ink over them, he'd be telling the officials of the Washington Loan and Trust Company to resign' because he had bought up the majority stock. But Dick's pay is usually a punk cigar, a poney glass of "morning dew" what's strong enough to be used as nitroglycerine, or a two week's delayed "much oblige." And this just leads me to remark sort of soto voice, that the time has about "arivened" when colored newspapers ought to arrange some basis for payin' colored correspondents who regularly each week send them a bunch of good, bad and indifferent news. Now, the average colored newspaper, don't even so much as furnish envelopes, paper or postage stamps to its correspondents. I'll bet my last season's straw bugalow, which I'm still wearing, against a stale glass of Nulo, Moerlo or Bevo that Dick Thompson spends steen dollars every week for paper and envelopes and stamps used to send his weekly consignments to Afro papers, and has to buy the sperm oil out of his own earnin' in Emmett Scott's office for the typewriter he pounds out his weekly effusions on. Surely most of our tri-colored palladiums have got far enough around the bases to at least furnish postage and envelopes to correspondents, and they sure ought to load an envelope, now and then, with a small post office money order and address it to Dick Thompson. By the way, I assume you have noticed by the columns of Washington's most aged, most startlin' and most popular palladium. The Bee, that Dick has renewed diplomatic relations with big Bill Chase, the editor, and is now furnishin' every week a batch of live locals and general information. Dick never felt happy so long as he couldn't break into The Bee, and down in his heart, I believe Chase always felt he was missin' somethin' when he was keepin' Dick's stuff out. Now that the two have become a sort of entente camouflage, let's hope they will remain allies until we Hamites have won this war for race prejudice. The fact is, brothers, we are up against it so strong, with discrimination, segregation and isolation camping on our trail like a pack of hungry wolves, that there ain't a particle of use for we crayon etchings to be anything but allies. Let's just agree to "play ball" and stop roastin' the ampire, for the newspaper bleacherites blow their jitney every week to get real news, and they don't care a tinkersdam for your colic and stomach disorder. Let's play ball like they do in the big white league, and stop all this charleyhorse business. Get me? I saw Wash Woods the other day and he looked like one of two things —a minister or an undertaker. Wash was all togged up in a black suit, black derby and a white front—one of them "biled" shirts. Every time I get down on the avenue between 13th and 14th, I always feel that they have moved some landmark down there that makes the place look strange to me. That's because for many years I used to make one or two regular stops in that vicinity just to get Wash to make me a sour. You know when it comes to makin' sours, Wash Woods has all mixologists beat to a frazzle and then some. When Jim Gray used to pay him $8 per week for mixin' drinks what brought Jim $500 per week, I used to think that if there ever came a time when I could get a license to run a thirst parlor in Washington I'd hired Wash to do nothin' but ring the cash register up, when he felt like it, for just only sours, mint juleps and Manhattan's he would make. Just about the time I was in the midst of this dream that fellow Shepard from somewhere down there in Lynches—the real name for Texas, came along and made a Sahara out of this beautifully moist section. When Wash Woods hits out a Texas leaguer, get's on first, and is batted around to home base by consecutive hits made by Judge Terrell, John Dancy and Doc Williston, just as he slides across the home pan, St Peter, if he's doin' the backstoppin' for the Paradise League, will say: Wash, go over and see our manager and he'll sign you up as a mixologist for the rest of your life, and for as much as two dollars more on a week than Jim Gray paid in his halcyon days." Now that this center of arid lands has hung the "closed" sign on all thirst parlors, mixin' appetizing and exhilaratin' drinks has become a lost art, and I guess that made him look like a cross between a "Black Billy Sunday" and an undertaker. If I can ever get some friend to bring me a quart of Melwood over from Baltimore, I'm goin' to apply to the owner of the biggest mint farmer in the land—Judge Terrell—for a handfull of that Kentucky favorite weed, and then send for Wash Woods to do the mixin'. I see my old college chum, John Langford, is just takin' all the first line trenches in "No Man's Degree Land." After wrestling for three whole months, by a Waterbury, with a second hand law book, John made a touchdown at the Frelinghuysen Intermitten University in law, and came up smilin' with a "B. S." which may be variously interpreted. John had already made a touchdown "somewhere" in this center of the universe, and came up smilin' with an "M. M. S." whatever that is. If you have any cases in the Supreme Court, any cases requiring a William Everett, Rufus Choat, a Charles Hughes or a Wickersham type of lawyer to unravel, just stand somewhere on You street and hale John as he goes by, and you will get a lawver what matriculated, studied and camoufaged a diploma for legal acumen in three months or such like. And speakin' about the Frelinghuysen University, it is some more educational plant that teaches everything from law to trimmin' rebelious corns. The chances are that my friend John, next year, will re-enter the university and cop out a few more degrees, such as "B. C." Bachelor of Chiropody; "B. D. M." Bachelor of Dressmakin', and then wind up with a "B. M." Bachelor of Millinery. But, after all, takin' him up one side and down the other, and allowin' for whims and fancies, you have to hand it to John Langford for being full of energy, "B. S." etc., etc. John, at least, never does the other fellow any harm, and if he puts a little elasticity in Truth it is merely to make you feel as big as he is. We missed John when he shook the dirt of Washington from his number elevens, and we welcomed him back when he got tired of Gary, Ind. Luck to you, John. HUNGER HUNGER For three years America has fought starvation in Belgium Will you Eat less-wheat meat-fats and sugar that we may still send food in ship loads? U.S. TROOPS SING BEFORE BATTLES True Stuff in Average American Appears When He Goes Into Action. Yankee Drops All Foolishness and Horseplay Before He Goes Into Battle—Courage and Determination In Every Face. With the American Army in France.—The true stuff that is in the average American soldier comes to the surface just before he goes into battle. The hour comes when he suddenly quits all foolishness and horseplay with his fellows and settles down to a lot of sober thinking. Far from being the rough, careless fellow that his life back of the lines might often indicate, he stands out as a young man with clean heart and motives, fully alive to the dangers he is going into, but possessing a high patriotism and courage and a determination to see the thing through regardless of the cost to himself. America's interests will always be safe in the hands of such young men. No Faltering Displayed. They have felt, before the command to go forward was given, that their names would likely figure in the casualty lists within a very few days. But there was no faltering. Never in my life have I seen such nobility of countenance. On every face there appeared the light of an iron resolve, writes C. C. Lyon in the Chicago Post. A soldier can be judged by the songs he sings. The Y. M. C. A. has done a most valuable work, through its musicians and entertainers, in breaking the terrible tension that must necessarily hang over the army just before a big engagement. Every evening Y. M. C. A, song leaders went from battalion to battalion, assembling the boys and having them join in songs. I went out several evenings with a young fellow named Mee, who in civil life is a professional song director. Nearly every soldier had been provided with one of the Y. M. C. A.'s "soldiers" song sheets," containing some 65 soldier songs. In the list were "Cuddle Up a Little Closer," "I Wish I Had a Girl," "Oh, You Beautiful Doll," "Oh, My Darling Clementine," "Polly-Wolly-Doodle" and others of similar mushness. But not once did I hear a soldier call for one of these songs. They were popular stuff in the care-free, rolllicking days back in the rest camps, but the boys had no heart for them as they waited, within earshot of the big guns to go into action. When Director Mee. would say: "What'll we sing, fellows? Name it." calls would go up on all sides for "Keep the Home Fires Burning." "Silver Threads Among the Gold." "There's a Long, Long Trall." "My Bonnie Lies. Over the Ocean." "Little Gray Home in the West" and "My Old Kentucky. Home." Fighting for Home. "Boys whose thoughts go back, thousands of miles across the ocean to their mothers and their sweethearts, can generally be depended upon in a pinch," a colonel said to me one evening, as he stood on the outskirts of the crowd listening to the singing. "These boys think they have to show a rough exterior to one another in the army, but at rock bottom, they're pure gold," he added. Letter-writing increased three-fold among the boys after they reached the threshold of the big battle. The boys have no illusions as to what they're getting into. They're determined that it shall be said of them, if they die, that they gave a good account of themselves. Though Blind, He Wants to Get Hands on "Bill" Albany, N. Y.—Joseph Carroll of this city is blind, but he knows he could "get" the kaiser. Carroll was called before a local draft board. He appeared, led by his mother, and was immediately rejected. In sorrow he told the physicians, "I may be blind, but I know I could get my hands on that kaiser." He was insistent that he be given opportunity to do something for Uncle Sam. TEAR OUT KAISER'S PICTURE Teacher Smiles at Technical Violation of Law by School Boys in Kansas. Leavenworth, Kan.—A Leavenworth teacher who has a fourth grade class, is the idol of the boys of the town. The other day, during her geography class, a picture of the kaiser was found in the book. The boys openly tore out the offending page with the picture of Kaiser Wilhelm. The girls, more timid, pasted paper over his face. The teacher smiled and let it go. There is a state law in Kansas about destroying public school books. The Spirit of 'n. The World Cry- food! Cultivate the Soil. BLOOD or BREAD Others are giving then blood.

There is no excuse for violators of the law, but there is for those who are innocent of wrongdoing and are arrested on suspicion without allowing the law to take its course. Innocent victims have been murdered, burned and lynched in the South. White men who wilfully murder colored citizens are seldom tried, but a colored citizen is arrested on suspicion and lynched before an opportunity is given him to establish his innocence. The question that is uppermost with The BEE is, What is the remedy? The BEE doesn't advise any colored American to take the law in his own hands, and neither does it advocate retaliation without a just cause. If your house is invaded and an attempt made to outrage your wives and daughters, it is the duty of every colored citizen to defend himself. In that event, allow the invaders to be aggressors, and if the invaded cannot retreat to the wall, it is their duty to defend themselves. Those who wilfully kill colored citizens without a just cause are traitors to their Government and breeders of strife and discontent, and if they had any respect for their Government in this crisis they would allow the law to take its course. It is hoped that the better classes of citizens are not the followers of mobs that believe in violating the law. The remedy, therefore, is for all loyal colored Americans to organize themselves in a law and order league as true Americans and oppose crime and disorder and attempt to teach those who are not. Let the National Government pass a law that will apply to every State, or rather submit a constitutional amendment to every legislature taxing every State five hundred thousand dollars for every lynching that takes place. Don't attempt to investigate as to who participated in the lynching, but merely establish the fact that a citizen was lynched by someone in the State in which the lynching took place. Let the amount of money to be paid to the next of kin of the party lynched, and if he or she is without next of kin or heir, let the money go to some poor orphan asylum in the State. The way to touch a person's conscience is to touch his pocket. Lynching would then cease. Law would rule and the dignity of the nation would be supreme. This is the remedy. COL. CHAS. W. ANDERSON Ex-Revenue Collector Charles W. Anderson has been honored with an honorary title of colonel. He is not only the first man in this country who has been honored with such a title, but the first of any nationality. This title, from the report sent from Buffalo, N. Y., was bestowed upon this distinguished American in the presence of 3,800 officers in the Buffalo auditorium. "Sedition" is defined, for prosecution purposes, as fomenting serife, as giving comfort and aid to our enemies with whom we are at war. With the wave of lynching sweeping over the South; with the South lynching whole families of colored citizens, even burning them alive, how can some of the Southern communities that have reverted back to barbarism escape the charge of sedition? Should the colored people down there, goaded to retaliation, emulate the atrocious deeds committed upon them by the whites, they would be charged with sedition; they would be imprisoned—they would be executed. Instead of emulating the vicious whites in the South, whose lynchings, burnings of human souls alive, whose following cannibalistic rites parallels the blackest deeds of the Huns, the race in that benighted section are generously, freely, giving from their slender purses funds to finance the war this country is waging for "the oppressed peoples of the world," contributing without stint to the Red Cross, bidding thousands of its loyal black sons good-bye, as they march away to offer their blood and their lives to help win this war. The New York News, in a burning editorial, calls upon the Federal Government to stop the bloody, barbarous reign of mob law now rampant throughout the South. The Memphis Commercial-Appal, in clarion tones, demands "We have got to stop this lynching business in the United States," and then adds, "Every lynching in the United States is more hurtful to the Allied cause than the loss of a brigade of soldiers." Down in the Southland, even among such as are now prating about "world democray," is heard the cry of colored wives whose husbands have been unceremoniously lynched, the wailing of colored children whose fathers have been lynched because they were colored, the moanings of colored mothers whose sons have been burned while a mob of supposdly civilized whites stood by and enjoyed seeing the flames wrap the writhing, suffering bit of humanity into whom the same. God breathed the breath of life as breathed it into the white cannibals who formed the mob. Our newspapers denounce, with burning words of censure, the torpedoing of American ships, by German submarines, without warning, and yet the lynching of colored people in the South, the burning of colored men, goes on, uninterrupted, while we are waging a war for "the oppressed peoples of the world;" and in which war, fighting with the Allies, are five hundred thousand blacks. When will the strong arm of the Government, that is rightly waging a war to suppress brutal Prussianism, reach out and stay the bloody hands in the South that are filling graves with black men and women just to satiate an inhuman appetite for suffering, for human blood, for persecution of a people whose response to the country's call for men and money has excited the admiration of every true patriot? If sedition is what it is defined to be, then Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee are the homes of the foulest, the blackest, the most unspeakable seditionists. Like the brutal Prussians, they do not even spare our women; they even lynch our women for merely protesting against the unlawful lynching of their husbands. There is no colored American in the United States who has been honored by the leading men of the nation, or of the world, more than Ex-Collector Charles W. Anderson. The BEE extends its congratulations to this honored American. CIVIL SERVICE. The Civil Service Commission continues to advertise examinations for clerks, messengers and other classified applicants, and when colored applicants pass and are sent for to appear at the departments they are rejected. Will the Commission explain why such discrimination? Colored Americans are anxious to aid the Government in this crisis, but it seems that they are rejected on account of their color from entering certain branches of the Government. ADVOCATE'S NEW DRESS. The Cleveland Advocate came out last week in a new dress, and replete with interesting news about the race. The Advocate, although the youngest in the Ohio journalistic field, is unquestionably the best race paper in Ohio, both from an editorial and news viewpoint, and one of the very best race newspapers in the country. The BEE congratulates the Advocate, and wishes it well. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. The executive committee of the National Race Congress has prepared a petition asking Director General McAdoo for the suspension of the jim. crow laws as a war measure, and will take the matter up officially with him on his return to the city. Arrangements are being made for a great meeting of the Race Congress October 1, 1918, by Rev. H. J. Callis, chairman of the executive committee. This will be the anti-lynching session of the congress, and all churches and societies, labor organizations, etc., in the race are asked to send a DIVORCE QUESTION AT HOWARD THEATER. Plays that have left exceedingly good impressions and taught moral lessons have been of almost weekly occurrence at the Howard Theater, but when the Quality Amusement Corporation presents "The Divorce Question" next week patrons will have an opportunity of witnessing a production that transcends all others of its kind. Being closely allied with the church for more than a generation, and it is safe to say that in the "Divorce Question" our people will find much to hold their wrap attention, for the church plays a very important part in the power which has always been conceded to the Christian institution comprises one of the most tense scenes incorporated in a drama of the present day, especially one dealing with an evil which has aroused the indignation of organizations formed for social welfare. Although the first act contains the essentials to hold an audience and insure their remaining to witness the thrilling climax in the last act, the second act furnishes a gripping episode in the death of a dope fiend's sister that is of such an absorbing nature auditors will immediately recognize the curse of the divorce evil. Unlike most plays of its kind, "The Divorce Question" was not written with an attempt by the author to moralize, but confining himself to depicting one of the vital questions that arrests the thinking man and woman in this country, he has managed to send forth whatever good it might do one of the strongest arguments ever brought forward in defense of those who would for all time drive from society the parasites who gnaw away at the foundation of social law and order. The same company which has so successfully returned to Harlem in musical comedy will now make their bow in the drama, something which their many friends were wondering if they would ever attempt again, and no better vehicle could have been secured to show these versatile artists at their best than next week's offering. As a dope fiend Walker Thompson will perhaps play a part second to that in Madame X, when he made such a remarkable showing. And just to think of Sidney Kirkpatrick as Father Jerome, makes one look forward to the show of next week with pleasurable anticipations. Others in the cast will include Laura Bowman, Dick Abrams, Chas. Taylor, Evelyn Ellis, Theresa Bluford, Tom Moseley and Messrs. Coleman and Lawrence. The eighteenth annual musical of the Daniels School of Music was held at the Zion Baptist Church, F Street between Third and Four and a-half Streets S. W., on Monday evening. A large and appreciative audience was present. The program represented the work of the elementary, intermediate and advanced and teachers' course. The pupils were assisted by Miss Jessie C. Battie, soprano. Rev. H. J. Callis delivered an address and presented certificates and diplomas, as follows: Intermediate Department — Mary E. Pumphrey, Marie S. Payne, Grace M. Batts, Constance L. White. Advanced Department — Jeannette M. Tyler, Lillian E. Holcombe, Louise A. Hawkins, Anita B. Turpeau. Teachers' Course—Dora R. Marlow. DEATH OF ATTY. COLLINS. Rev. Walter H. Brooks Delivers an Eloquent Sermon. Attorney George F. Collins, son-in-law of Rev. W. J. Howard, who was buried Wednesday from Zion Baptist Church, was one of the best-known lawyers at the bar. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, delivered a most eloquent sermon. A large number of the members of the local bar and many others were present. The deceased leaves a widow, Mrs. Bertha Howard Collins, formerly a teacher in the public schools. Second Baptist Church, 3d street, between H and I streets N. W., is enjoying a most remarkable period of prosperity under the pastorate of Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, formerly of Winton, N. C. No church in the city has a more loyal and enthusiastic set of members than Second Baptist: At almost every regular service the church is blessed with adcessions. In the recent spring rally a drive was made for $1,500, and the church raised $2,575.15, nearly $1,100 more than was asked. The church is gradually rebuilding its wasted credit, and is coming back to its former plan of influence in the city and the denomination. The church will celebrate the first anniversary of its pastor June 23 to July 1. The anniversary sermon will be preached on June 30 by Rev. C. S. Brown, B. D., Winston, N. C., president of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention. CHARLES YOUNG AUXILIARY Bluefield, W. Va., June 10.—The Charles Young Auxiliary No. 7 of this city, which is conducting a campaign to raise $400, Bluefield's quota for the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, this week sent the National Committee at Washington a check for $150 as the result of the first half of its campaign. Bluefield means to go "over the top." Mrs. V. B. Edwards is president and Mrs. Mary L. Hicks secretary of Bluefield's Auxiliary. Mrs. Edna A. Odrick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Odrick, and Mr. Arthur H. Randall, were married at noon Saturday, June 8, 1918, by the Rev. M. W. D. Norman, in the presence of a small company of relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Randall are not going away until August, and for the present are at home at 1520 Swann street N W. PASTORS ENDORSE DR. DREW AND WHITE CROSS WORK. Dr. Drew delivered an address before the A. M. E. Zion Preachers' Conference of Washington and vicinity on Monday, June 10th, at 11 a.m., in Trinity A. M. E. Church. At the conclusion of Dr. Drew's remarks a motion was adopted that the conference endorse the work of the White Cross Free Employment Bureau of America, a non-sectarian organization securing positions and furnishing help free of charge in this and other cities. It is said that fully five thousand people have obtained work. EMMETT j. SCOTT Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, went to Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J., Tuesday night to be present Wednesday at the invitation of Col. Dan T. Moore, commanding officer at that station, to witness the first mounted review of the 349th and 350th Regiments of Field Artillery. These regiments now have the full complement of men, and are said to be very proficient in artillery work. Mr. Scott's appearance at Camp Dix to witness a full review of an artillery corps, at the special invitation of a commanding officer, is the first instance on record of such a distinction being accorded to any member of the race. Already many agents have endeavored to force tenants to sign contracts or leases for rent of houses and business places. It is a shame that these shylocks are not stopped. There should be a law making it criminal for agents to unlawfully raise rents. Editor The Bee: The trustees at Howard University are to be congratulated on their wise selection of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee as president of Howard University. Dr. Durkee is a man of commanding influence; a bold and fearless defender of the race, and yet temperate in judgment. His election will mean much to the university, and Negroes everywhere should give him sympathy and support and help to make Howard a great national institution. Yours truly, James E. Shepard. DORCAS CLUB RESPONDS The National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee on Wednesday received a check for $25 from Mrs. L. C. Morris, president of the Dorcas Club of Palatka, Fla., as that club's contribution to the fund the national committee is raising for needy dependents of colored soldiers. The way the colored women's organizatins of the South and West are responding to the appeal for funds is most gratifying to the committee. Mr. and Mrs. Linval N. Myers, who were among the June newly weds of Washington, were quietly married at Rockville, Md., last week. Mr. Robert Wilson, the well known tonsorial artist, is the happy father of a baby boy. The Bee congratulates Bob. LADIES AUXILIARY. The Ladies' Auxiliary to the General Baptist Missionary Convention held their quarterly meeting with a crowded house at Trinity Baptist Church. An inspiring sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. Davis. Music was rendered by the newly organized Junior Missionary Convention.

One of the most progressive business men in the city is Mr. Joseph Graves, at No. 16 G street N. W. He has recently purchased two houses, Nos: 24 and 26 G street N. W., just above his place of business, where he will rebuild a commodious dining room. These two houses were paid for in spot cash. This is one of the most up-to-date dining rooms in the city. In a few weeks the city will see one of the most flourishing eating houses in the vicinity of the Government Printing Office and Union Station. Mr. Graves has associated with him Mrs. Graves, who knows her business, and is a great acquisition to the success of this enterprise. The Bee extends its congratulations. THE OLDEST INHABITANTS.

TORRENS teens On eee ee tended as an. introduction to some talks on Fallacies. The principal .aim of all arguments. is either proof or that branch of proof called denion- stration, and, the arch. enemy: of all proof is’ fallacy.’ We have -already seen that failure of proof, even where * propositions are ‘real and arguments . valid, constitute: the, non-sequitur (it -does'-not follow). ‘Every non-se- quitur may not result from jfallacy, but tiearly every failure.of'an argu- ment to proye results from that cause. ; al ‘A fallacy is defined as “any un- sound mode of argument which ap- Bears to demand our conviction and to be decisive of the question in hand, when’ in fairness it is not.” In order to bé a fallacy. it is not need- ful that it should be studiously’ con- structed for deceitful purposes.. The man who uses it’ may himself be de- ceived by it; or more frequently ‘he has first been deceived by the in- fluence of selfishness or passion, and “the wish bécomes” father.'to the, thought,” and the argument occurs to him and he advances. it in hi3, justi- fication: When. the man who em- ploys a fallacy is himself deceived by it we sometimes calf it a “parato- gism,” but when he is aware of its, unsoundness, it is called’a “sophism.” We need to be warned not only against the sophistry of designing men, but also against the fallacies laid in’ our way by persons who be- lieve what they say; and, as still | more dangerous, against those which | originate in, thoughts. that favor* our | own selfish and crooked aims. ‘The best ‘safeguard against error | of every kind is to be fotind in a sincere desire to discover the truth. which keeps the mind open to. facts and arguments from‘ whatever quar- ter ‘they’ come—“When the eye is! single the whole body is full of light.” Without this no. argumentative skill can protect ds from so insidious a foe as a deceitful heart, to quote the words of Dr. McCosh. It may be further’ admitted that native shtewdness can detect fallacies with- out the aid of rules, and yet many valuable’ and practical! as well as| scientific ends are gained by an ac- quaintance with logical principles and the violation of them. It is most-important for the guid- ance of our thoughts: that: we. should know what are the essential steps involved in inference.

For this a ¢classifica- ion of. fallacies is desirable, and I] hall take up their classification in a uture talk..

As: further details of the engagement’ there .be- come known there are disclosed’ deeds which are ‘fully in accord: with the finest American traditions. ‘The correspondent # now permitted to tell of a few cases of individual he rolsm, which: will convey an Idea as ‘to the mettle of the men. One of them, David Griggs of East Hampton, Conn., passed through the enemy bar- rage at least seven times.to carry. am- munition to hig. hard-pressed ‘com- frades. Twice be was partly buried by earth upturned by shells falling all around him, but he kept’ at his | task, . | Griggs, who fs nineteen’ yenrs old, ts £0 modest ‘that he would not tell his Story, but insisted on speaking of the bravery of others.

It {s also related that one American sharpshooter. killed 15 Germans.” g In‘a village a short distance behind the front line Gladys and Irene Mc Intyre, sleters, of Mount Vernon, N. ¥., Salvation Army representatives, dur- ing the height of the engagement hand- ed out coffee, chocolate, doughnuts, and much good elieer to the soldiers, They went on-with their work while. the shells were falling all around them and would not leave until at last they were ordered to do so.. Now-they are called “daughters of the regtinent.”: | At another point near the front a middle-aged, motherly woman, also of the Salvation Army, Js braving the German sbells to dispense comforts to the men. : | “I had to come to France,” she sald, “to find-out what wonderful boys we raise in America.” | Unstinted praise for the valor and steadfastness of the’ American troops |. during the German attack at Setche- prey is given by the French troops on the same front.

Editor The Bee: In view of the deplorable condition of the street car service of this city, due to the shortage of labor on account of the war, I desire to offer a suggestion which, if adopted, will give Washington good street car service. From 7:30 to 9:30 in the morning and from 4:30 to 6:30 afternoons and 10:30 to 11:30 evenings, the cars are crowded to suffocation. Coming down on the Georgia Avenue line in the morning it is usually impossible to get on a car south of Columbia Road. The same overcrowded condition exists to a greater or less extent on most of the other lines. The explanation given in the public press is a shortage of labor. It was stated that the Washington Railway and Electric Company was running its lines more than 7,000 trips per day below their schedules, because of the shortage of labor. I notice advertisements in the press calling for men to man the street cars of Washington. As these advertisements have not brought in the required number of desirable men, it has been suggested that women be employed. Let me suggest a large and available labor fund that is right at hand, ready and anxious to serve in any capacity that will win the war. There are hundreds of bright, active, young colored men who, if employed, would furnish all of the men needed. Colored men have been employed successfully as street car conductors and motormen in other cities, notably Detroit and Cleveland. They are successful as chauffeurs, and when their machines break down show as much initiative in repairing the break as other drivers of motor cars. There is every reason to believe that this plan will afford relief from the present condition. Very respectfully, Archibald H. Grimke, President of District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. New guaranteed liquid formula to straighten stubborn hair. Simple and harmless.

In these days of inflated prices and general depreciated qualities, it is a safe rule to be sure of the reputation of the house where you buy goods. Folks who buy shoes may depend on getting a good run for their money at the three reliable shoe houses of William Hahn & Co., 7th and K Sts., 233 Pennsylvania Ave. S. E., and 1914 Pennsylvania Ave. N. W. These stores have reached their present big size through forty-two years of square dealing with their patrons. It is safe to say that this house has never knowingly put out a poor shoe, and whenever shoes go bad, are more than glad to make them good. It also goes without saying that this house owes its leadership and shoe selling to the fact that it knows no race or color among its patrons. All receive uniform courtesy and square dealing. We strongly recommend them, therefore, to our patrons. THE AMPHION GLEE CLUB. Its 26th annual outing Friday, June 21st, at Green Willow Park.
