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.

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.

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 are so many so-called hairgrowers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Ointment, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each.

The Palmer Skin Whitener is sold at all of the People's Drug Stores, as follows: Store No. 1, 7th and K Sts. N. W. Store No. 2, 7th and E Sts. N. W. Store No. 3, 14th and U Sts. N. W. Store No. 4, 7th and M Sts. N. W. Store No. 5, 8th and H. Sts. N. E. Mob Rule Is Supreme and Lynch Law the Tocsin in the South. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public a telegram sent yesterday to Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas protesting against the lynching of Mrs. Sarah Cabiness and her five sons at Huntsville, Texas, and the fatal wounding of her daughter, on June 1, as the result of an altercation between a white man and George Cabiness. Mr. Shillady calls the attention of the Governor to the fact that sixteen Negroes have been lynched in the State of Texas alone since America entered the war, and pointedly asks the Governor concerning his action in bringing to justice the murderers of the six Negroes. At a time when 157,000 Negroes are offering their lives for the preservation of the ideals of democracy, the association wishes to know if Negroes of Texas are to be given their share of the democracy for which they are fighting. The telegram follows: Hon. W. P. Hobby, Governor, Press dispatches in New York papers June 1st state that Mrs. Sarah Cabiness, a colored woman, and her five sons were shot to death by a mob at Huntsville, Texas, on June 1, and her daughter fatally wounded because of altercation between white man and George Cabiness. In the name of its one hundred and twenty-five branches, with over thirty thousand members of both races, as well as all other justice-loving people of our country, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People protests in the strongest terms against this outrage, and urges you to use every power at your command to bring the perpetrators to justice. Two hundred and forty-seven Negroes have been victims of mob violence since the United States entered the war. Sixteen of this number have been lynched in the State of Texas alone. At a time when one hundred and fifty-seven thousand Negroes are in France, or preparing to go, offering their lives for the preservation of our country, it behooves Texas to do everything through its officials to stamp out mob violence. The laws of Texas are adequate to punish all offenders against them. Lynching is a cancerous growth upon the body politic, and unless checked will spread as it has done during the orgy of bloodshed in your state and in Georgia during the past two weeks. Is Texas going to uphold her laws in this present crisis? John R. Shillady, Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. H. Edgar Lewis PURE DRUGS 63rd & Eastern Ave., N.E.

And wilt Thou guide, me safely on and call me when I stray? Without Thy light before mine eyes, the way I cannot see. The path is lonely, dark and drear, O! wilt Thou walk with me? And wilt Thou walk with me, O, God, since Thou art Love and Light? O! wilt Thou take my hand in Thine, let me not leave Thy sight? Out of Thy sight, O! blessed Lord, my life's a storm tossed sea, When tempest rage within, without, Oh, wilt Thou walk with me? And wilt Thou walk with me, O, God, my help, my strength, my stay? When darkness deep enshrouds my path, O, wilt Thou light my way? For monstrous demons wouldst de- story my soul with hellish glee; Without Thine aid my soul is doomed, O! wilt Thou walk with me? And wilt Thou walk with me, O, God, when sorrows rend my heart? When great temptations bar my way, O, bid them all depart. And when I reach death's chilly stream, O, Lord! walk Thou with me. —James Conday Jackson. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE NOTES. Miss Esther C. James and Mrs. Marie.

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.

Cetewayo, Maceo, Our heroes, one and all. To arms from banks of Senegal, Or where Zambese bowls, Or Tennessee or Brazos laves; Come, swell the muster rolls. Nor furious Frank nor driven Hun Shall be your guage of might, But you the sons of Japheth show That that sang froid wins a fight. To arms, our bully boys, "New-freedom" be your cry, Hit the monster helmet crowned, Smite him hip and thigh. JOSEPH GRAVES Will Enlarge His Place of Business. 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.

Master Samuel M. Pierce, Jr., who has been quite ill, has sufficiently improved to be out. "The History of a Dollar Bill," by Col. S. M. Lewis, will appear in the anniversary number of The Bee. --- My recent talks on Proof were intended as an introduction to some talks on Fallacies. The principal aim of all arguments is either proof or that branch of proof called demonstration, 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-sequitur may not result from fallacy, but nearly every failure of an argument to prove results from that cause. A fallacy is defined as "any unsound mode of argument which appears to demand our conviction and to be decisive of the question in hand, when in fairness it is not." In order to be a fallacy it is not needful that it should be studiously constructed for deceitful purposes. The man who uses it may himself be deceived by it; or more frequently he has first been deceived by the influence of selfishness or passion, and "the wish becomes father to the thought," and the argument occurs to him and he advances it in his justification. When the man who employs a fallacy is himself deceived by it we sometimes call it a "paralogism," 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 believe 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 found in a sincere desire to discover the truth, which keeps the mind open to facts and arguments from whatever quarter they come—"When the eye is single the whole body is full of light." Without this no argumentative skill can protect us from so insidious a foe as a deceitful heart, to quote the words of Dr. McCosh. It may be further admitted that native shrewdness can detect fallacies without the aid of rules, and yet many valuable and practical as well as scientific ends are gained by an acquaintance with logical principles and the violation of them. It is most important for the guidance of our thoughts that we should know what are the essential steps involved in inference. We should be aware, for instance, that there are always three terms, expressed or understood, and a comparison of two of these by a third (the middle term), and that in most reasoning there is a major premise implied in the form of a general law, truth or principle, i.e., more general than the conclusion. The main purpose of the study of fallacies is to familiarize the mind with those instances of erroneous reasoning which are most likely to lead our own thoughts astray in the search after truth and the elimination of error. For this a classification of fallacies is desirable, and I shall take up their classification in a future talk. The main thing, however, is to become familiar with the characteristics of those forms of erroneous reasoning that most frequently occur in practice. Judge Prouty, director of Public Service, under which department comes government control of railroads, assured Ralph W. Tyler last week, it is reported, that he will bring to the Secretary of the Treasury the matter of jimcrowing-colored soldiers and colored speakers. The report is current that Mr. Tyler took up with Judge Prouty the matter of subjecting colored officers and soldiers traveling under government orders, and colored speakers who have volunteered to present the government's war aims, to the inferior railroad accommodations. When asked about the conference, Mr. Tyler replied that Judge Prouty, who is a native of Vermont, "received me very cordially, and expressed real sympathy with the race's complaints as to discriminations." The consensus of opinion, however, in view of the fact that Secretary McAdoo continues to permit a segregated toilet in the Treasury building for colored employees, he will not, as director general of railroads, revoke Jim-Crow car laws. The fine spirit shown by colored people in contributing to the Liberty Loan Bonds, Thrift Stamps, Red Cross, etc., while pleasing to Mr. McAdoo, will not change his policy as to Jim-Crow cars, or separate toilets in the Treasury building. FRENCH PRAISE VALOR OF YANKS Victory of Pershing Men at Secheprey May Become Historic. Actions of Soldiers in Fight Fully In Accord With the Finest American Traditions—One Kills With the American Army in France.—The shell-torn village of Seicheprey appears to be destined to hold a proud place, in the story of American participation in the world war. As further details of the engagement there become known there are disclosed deeds which are fully in accord with the finest American traditions. The correspondent is now permitted to tell of a few cases of individual heroism, 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 barrage at least seven times to carry ammunition to his hard-pressed comrades. Twice he was partly buried by earth upturned by shells falling all around him, but he kept at his task. Griggs, who is nineteen years old, is so modest that he would not tell his story, but insisted on speaking of the bravery of others. Finally one of his comrades pointed him out and said: "That is the bravest man in the regiment." Raymond A. Ferris, of Bedford, Mass., acting as a courier, was blown off the road twice by the concussion of shells. Although stunned and nearly crazed by the intensity of the gunfire, when he reached the point in the rear of the lines to which he was sent for ammunition, he carried out his orders. Then he asked for a revolver, saying he wanted to go out and fight the Germans, but he fainted from exhaustion. When he regained consciousness his first words were inquiry whether his message had been delivered. Charles Sinkler, a Philadelphia lawyer, who is now with the Red Cross, and was in the thick of the fighting, told the correspondent of two Americans who, armed only with automatic pistols, charged an enemy machine gun, killed eight Germans and captured the gun. It is also related that one American sharpshooter killed 15 Germans. In a village a short distance behind the front line Gladys and Irene McIntyre, sisters, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., Salvation Army representatives, during the height of the engagement handed out coffee, chocolate, doughnuts, and much good cheer 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 regiment." At another point near the front a middle-aged, motherly woman, also of the Salvation Army, is braving the German shells to dispense comforts to the men. "I had to come to France," she said, "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 Setcheprey is given by the French troops on the same front. This admiration for the fighting qualities of his transatlantic comrades is demonstrated in a report sent to the general commanding by the colonel of a French infantry regiment which took part in the Setcheprey engagement. "I visited Renneres wood after the counter-attack in which the position was recaptured and examined the situation in detail," says the report. "Everywhere traces of hand-to-hand fighting show that the American soldiers, despite two hours of heavy bombardment by large caller guns, defended themselves valiantly. American Gunners Die Fighting. "In the vicinity between the front trenches and the communication trench connecting the Judy and Renneres woods, two American machine gunners died fighting on their weapons after covering the ground around with German dead. The enemy suffered great losses, thanks to this heroic resistance. "Everywhere there are signs of German wounded having been carried off, while many German bodies remain because the retiring enemy was unable to remove them. Numbers of the dead belong to German storming detachments." Numerous hand-to-hand combats were fought in the course of this long struggle, from which the Americans found themselves obliged to retire toward nightfall, but only after destroying their machine guns. In Selcheprey a squad of Americans found several cases of grenades, with which they succeeded in putting up a terrific fight and holding out the entire day on the northern extremity of the village. They refused to surrender when summoned to do so. At the end of the fighting only nine of the original twenty-three were left. An American lieutenant with only six men patrolled 600 yards of the front during the entire day and maintained communication with the battalions on his right and left. Philadelphia, Pa., June 3.—One of the most interesting meetings held here was the one last Sunday afternoon at Union Baptist Church, in the interest of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee. Judge Robert H. Terrell, Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston and Ralph W. Tyler were the speakers. A very substantial sum was contributed by the audience.

Fresh Ground Horseradish and Cocoanut Parts of the Stands 82 and Stands 82 and 83 O Street Market Joseph I, Bailey, Manager --- Proves Successful in the Experimental Stage—British Government Exports Are Much Impressed With Possibilities. London.—In these days of cereal and fodder shortage the farmer who succeeds in growing two blades where one grew, before would be looked upon as a public benefactor, but an English farmer has succeeded in going one better and writes to the Times to give details of the new method. He suggests that if his plan is adopted there will be more grazing this year, more beef next winter, more oats, wheat and hay in 1919, and more grazin in 1919. If the new method is as successful, over a large acreage as it has proved to be in the experimental stage it may rightly be termed a discovery in agriculture. The new method is as follows. In July, by the use of a specially devised drill, a winter cereal and an artificial fertilizer are simultaneously drilled through any grass land intended for haying the following year. By September or October the cereal will have made a top growth of from eight to ten inches. This is then grazed off with the grass by whatever live stock is turned out upon it, and the grain, nominally an annual, is thus turned into a biennial by virtue of its yield of valuable grazing in the autumn preceding the year of the normal grain harvest. Double Crop. The autumn grazing encourages and strengthens the roots of the cereal. Owing to the protection from frost given by the covering of turf, normal spring growth begins, earlier, more heads are thrown up, development is more rapid, and the grain ripens at the same time as the hay, both being harvested together. The harvesting is done by means of an ordinary mowing machine fitted with an extra knife at the proper height above the grass to cut the heads of the grain. The lower knife cuts the hay as usual and the upper knife acts as a header. A carrier behind the "header" knife deposits the grain in a separate swath. Many Advantages. The advantages claimed for this method are many, among them being the following: The productive capacity of the land is doubled. Old and valuable grass lands are not only not destroyed, but are improved. Economy of labor throughout; plowing and harrowing are not needed; both crops are gathered together, planting and rolling are done at the same time, and the grain crop is gathered with ease and certainty, as there is no green growth with the grain to be stood in the sun to dry. Economy of fertilizers. A saving of one-half of the seed usually needed. The autumn grazing is of a fresh nitrogenous character. The passage of the drills through the turf improves the surface drainage. The equal mixing of straw with the hay for fodder. The great convenience of July planting for the farmer. Saves Permanent Pasture. It is asserted that under this method no permanent pasture need be broken up, rather that the larger part of the arable land might be put down to permanent pasture. The permanent pastures are in hay and corn one year and grazed the next. In the spring of the grazing year seeds of annual legumes can be planted through the pastures with the same machine, as is used to drill in the grain, not only on account of their feeding value, but also to increase the nitrogen in the soil for the following cereal crop. The drilling of the seed through the turf is accomplished by a small knife bladed foot that can be attached to any drill in place of the disk. Government experts have been so impressed with the possibilities of the method that priority certificates have been granted for the manufacture of the fittings or the import of any parts which may be necessary if they cannot be obtained here in time for this season's planting. Railway Workers Dug It Up in Pennsylvania and Are Looking for More. Sharon, Pa.—That the monsters of the mastodon family roamed over this part of Mercer county in prehistoric ages is evidenced by the uncovering of a monster grinder tooth and part of a bone by workmen of the Bessemer & Lake Erie engaged in building a line through Otter Creek valley, two miles north of Mercer. The molar is of great size, some eight or ten inches across the top, with three pronged roots nearly a foot long. Near by was found the socket of a joint. The bone is about 30 inches long, and the diameter of the socket 14 inches. Foreman Andy Narly was charge of the forces when the find was made. Strict orders have been issued to the workmen to be on the lookout for more fragments of teeth or bones. Civilian Commission Will Make Recommendation. London.-Two principal recommendations which the civilian commission now in Palestine will make for the reconstruction of that country will be a scheme for beginning aforestation, and a proposal for the conservation of water supply by storage and by opening up old springs. A preliminary statement from a member of the committee says: "The greatest of all Palestine's needs is aforestation. For centuries the land has been denuded of its trees, with most disastrous consequences. For the heavy rains at certain seasons, instead of benefiting the soil, over more than four-fifths of the area carry away in rushing torrents much of the little soil that remains on the high land and valley slopes. "Palestine has not always been treeless. The Roman emperors had valuable forest in the country, and Absam was caught by the hair among the trees, but today one might gallop from Dan to Beersheba without having to duck one's head to avoid a branch. "Trees of rapid growth will be planted, and for the more cultivable districts fruit-bearing trees will be utilized. "The storage of water in lakes and reservoirs is comparatively simple. By erecting small dams across certain ways, a series of small reservoirs can be constructed at little expense, creating a supply that will last throughout the dry season. In southern Palestine hundreds of natural springs can be opened which under centuries of misrule have been allowed to choke up and fall into disuse. "Palestine today possesses an advantage it never had before in a first-class railway connection with Egypt. All the surplus crops will find a ready market in the growing Egyptian cities." Mary Mrs. Catherine Wolf Hart is the eleighteen-year-old bride of James Harvey Hart, a wealthy retired jeweler of Brooklyn, N. Y., eighty-six years old. The elderly bridegroom met his bride while she was employed as a manicure in a Brooklyn barber shop. Mr. Hart's children threatened to have the marriage annulled. He has three grandchildren. FORGET TO HOLD ELECTIONS Two Towns in Oklahoma Overlook Important Event and Officials Will Hold Over. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Two Oklahoma towns, Edmond and Marlow, "forgot" to hold city elections this year, and as a result, the present city officials will hold over, according to a ruling by Joseph Morris, secretary of the state election board. The omission of primaries by both towns was an oversight, the officials declared, and as a result, no elections can be held. The attorney general has supported the ruling of the election officials. Franklin, Pa.—An old woman entered a bank here and, producing a sum of money, said: "I don't want a Liberty bond. I hear my country needs the money and I want to give it. It is all I have, but Uncle Sam shall take it." The matter was arranged to her satisfaction, but she has a Liberty bond unknown to her. Here's Chance for Job. Portland, Ore.—County Clerk forridge has several hundred jobs he would like to find men to fill. There are vacation boards, in various contents, and in the museum. Anybody who wants to write to Beveridge FLIES TWO HOURS; GIVES LIFE TO PILOTS ARE DEAD GUARD SECRETS Bristol Machine Disposes of Enemy, Then Continues Flight With Both Occupants Dead, Until Petrol Gives Out. London-An amazing flight of a British airplane for two hours with its two occupants dead was briefly referred to in a dispatch from the fighting front the other day. Now fuller details are supplied by a well-known flying officer who has returned to London from Arras. "The incident referred to," he said, "is quite authentic and was a common topic of conversation a few days ago. Of course, there is absolutely no reason why a machine should not, under average conditions, fly itself so long as its petrol holds out. This is not an exceptional incident of the kind, and certainly there have been cases where German machines have been captured with their pilots dead. The Known Facts. "So far as I know the facts are that this Bristol fighter, which, of course, is a two-seater with guns fore and aft, took off about 1:30 p. m. The wind conditions were almost negligible, making it very good flying weather. There was a great deal of miscellaneous craft widely scattered over "No Man's Land." "The British airman, at an estimated altitude of 3,500 feet, when they would be running at eighty miles or thereabouts, encountered a German albatross. They at once attacked. A lot of maneuvering followed and three other machines, two of them German, came into action. "The Bristol machine hung on its quarry and eventually got it well under the nose, the German crashing down. "Immediately our machine gave a sweep south. It had lost height. In maneuvering and was rocking badly as if out of control, but it kept steadily on until it was lost to view. "At a little before four o'clock the machine, which was, of course, easily identified, fell crashing to earth nearly twenty miles to the west of Arras. On examination both its occupants were found to be dead, obviously from bullet wounds, which had struck them from the back and which must at once have proved fatal. Petrol Tank Empty. Their injuries on coming down certainly did not cause their death. The petrol tank of their machine was found to be empty. "There is no doubt the two men were shot immediately the German albatross fell. The Bristol machine, which is the best and most perfectly controlled fighting machine known, of its own volition swept on a fairly even keel to a distance of possibly ten miles below the point where the battle took place. "Then, for some reason which never will be known, the controls were shifted and a circle was made. In view of the fact that the total distance covered must have been much under 160 miles, it appears certain the machine lost speed and height gradually, possibly due to some minor but not vital injury to the engine. "For upward of two hours the two dead men were in the air before the final crash to earth." PADDED CELL MAKER EXEMPT Britain Releases 'Specialist' in Providing for Lunatics From War Service. London—The military tribunals have granted exemption from military service to William Fuller, who is described in the official report as a "specialist in the construction of padded cells." His firm is the only firm in England engaged in the manufacture of padded cells for lunatic asylums, police institutions and hospitals, and the tribunal found that "there is not a man in Great Britain who can take the place of this applicant." A model of a padded cell, showing the intricacies of its construction, was brought before the tribunal, together with a list of the "urgent orders" awaiting the attention of the applicant. Cannot Speak English, but Buys Liberty Bond Altona, Pa.-Mrs. Mary Hazenstaub, one hundred years old next January, a native of Bavaria, Germany, also wants to see the kaiser stopped. She cannot speak English, but she bought a $100 Liberty bond. German Folk Buy Bonds. Oklahoma City, Okla.—The last $100 in the treasury of the Germania Verein, former German society of this city, has been spent in the purchase of Liberty bonds, the officers announce. The society invested $400 in the first loan, also. Pilot Deliberately Blows Himself and His Craft to Pieces With Bomb to Evade Capture by Huns. London.—British aviators and mechanics sometimes are compelled to destroy their own machines to prevent the Germans from obtaining a jealously guarded secret about the new type of airplane. Occasionally it is necessary for the aviator to sacrifice his own life together with his airplane. Such an instance is described in an official report of a brave aviator, who deliberately blew himself and the airplane to pieces with a bomb to evade capture by a German flotilla of destroyers. There were two men, the pilot and his observer, in one of the latest flying boats the British makers have turned out. They had got well out to sea when a fog suddenly cut them off from the rest of their companions. The pilot headed for home, but a few seconds later the engine "died" and the pilot brought the boat to rest on the water. He climbed up to the engine to see if he could make good the defect. A glance showed him that only a repair shop and a squad of expert mechanics could hope to make the engine run. His face was slightly more grave when he climbed down to the hull. "Are you going to make the works go around again, daddy?" asked the observer. Machine Can't Be Fixed. "Can't be done, my son," said the pilot. "We shall have to wait on someone coming to pick us up." "I suppose the fog will lift soon and give our chaps a sight of us. Wake me up before they come," and snuggling still further down into his seat, the observer went to sleep. The night drew on. The pilot sat up on the deck, combing, and listened intently for the slightest sign of approaching rescues, while behind him down in the cockpit slept the boy, dreaming of home. With the coming of the morning the fog lifted and the observer glanced eagerly over the shadowy waters. Far on the horizon was a little black smudge growing steadily in size, and behind it another smudge, and another. It was a patrol flotilla fast approaching them. "It is German, my son," said the pilot. "Is your life belt on securely?" "Yes." "Well, get over the side and swim as hard as you can." "But don't you want me to help—" "His Privilege to Die. "Get over the side," said the pilot curly, and there was that in his voice which made the junior man instantly obey. "Good-by, sonny," he added, as the observer slipped into the water. "It is my privilege, you know." About 200 yards away the observer paused and looked back at the disabled plane. The pilot was crouching on the top of the wing underplane, just above the bomb rack, with a heavy spanner in his upraised hand heady to strike a blow. A mile away the first German destroyer was tearing the sea in twain in nervous haste to save the coveted trophy and get away before the appearance of the dreaded British patrol. The observer turned and swam away from the tragedy which he knew was about to happen. There came the roar of a mighty explosion. He heard the swish of the air blast along the surface waters and the rush of the approaching wave from the sea disturbance. The wave engulfed him just as he began to hear the splash and patter of the falling debris, and in the blackness of its heart his senses swam into unconsciousness. He was still sobbing delirious when the British patrol boat picked him up, an hour later. YANK COOKS ROUSE FRENCH Amazed by Extraordinary Mixture, Salmon, Mashed "Spuds" and Pickled Cucumbers. Paris. At last a French correspondent has found a weak spot in the American expeditionary force. The man who has ventured to strike this first discordant note is the special representative of Le Temps at the French front, who happened to be near the American section, which had the first real fight with the enemy and so pald them a visit. He writes: "There are certain practical points in which our allies are not yet past masters, notably cooking. At first scoring their own stews, they preferred to stick to canned meat entirely. "Our cooks showed them how to make soup, and they soon acquired a taste for it. It won't be long before they will be making some good stuff themselves, better any way than the extraordinary mixtures I saw them eating this evening, like canned salmon with mashed potatoes and pickled scumbers!" MAIL FOR SOLDIERS New Service Is Installed for Pershing's Men. Military Postal Express in France Similar to the French System. With the American Army in France.—A general order just issued establishes for the American expeditionary forces a military postal express service similar to the French system. Under the adjutant general's office, Lieut. Col. Thorndike D. Howe will receive all mail for the American forces, supervise its distribution and attend to the collection and delivery to postal agents of outgoing mail. The director will establish his own regulations as to size and weight of packages and will have close relations with the allied postal authorities. A central military post office will be established at the headquarters of the supply service. The various military units will have their own orderlies to care for the mail. The general post office will keep records which will make possible the speedy redirection of letters incorrectly addressed. Branch offices will be established to take care of the mail to and from troops attached to the British and French forces. Other branches will be set up for troops as they arrive in France. Oakland, Cal.—Naming his horse "Kaiser" caused John Mendonca of this city considerable trouble. John was talking rather loudly to the animal when he was overheard by his neighbor, Hans Peterson. Hans got the idea that John was referring to him, a loyal American, as "Kaiser." He pulled Mendonca off his wagon, beat him and knocked him into the gutter. The injured man had his assailant arrested on a charge of battery. OVER THE TOP DRESS, LATEST Donned as Firemen Get Into "Quick Hitches" and Made of Gingham. New York.—Comes now the west with another innovation for New York. It's the "Over the Top" wartime economy dress. That's just its name. To put it on you "go through the middle." That is, you hang it up sidewise and run into it, head first. Mrs. William Radcliffe, who wore this summier creation in gingham down Fifth avenue, was stared at all the way back to the Majestic hotel. She is from St. Joseph, Mo. This gown is of one piece. You've heard how firemen get into their rubber suits when there's a quick alarm at night. That's how the women must enter this garment. It is positively without fastenings. The dress costs $5. If you want a hat of the same material to match it, the entire cost will be $6. UTILIZE OLD RAILWAY TIES Soldiers Take Discarded Timber to Use In Erection of Semi-Permanent Houses. Fort Hancock, Tex.—Condemned and discarded railroad ties have been utilized by American soldiers stationed here to build semipermanent houses for the headquarters and other buildings of the army camp patrol headquarters. The ties are stood on end to make the walls of the houses and discarded railroad rails are used for rafters. Ties are then laid over these to form the flat roof and a coating of adobe mud spread over these clinked ties to make the roof watertight. The crossite houses are more comfortable in winter and summer than tents. The orderly room, the day room and canteen and the quartermaster supply room are all made of these materials, the canteen having a brick floor and plastered roof. Elderly Patient Swallows Concoction and Dies—"Poisoned," Says "Regular" Doctor. Anderson, S. C.—Milton R. Garrett, seventy years old, felt indisposed and called on an "herb doctor" who gave him a concoction which the doctor contended was "purely vegetable." Garrett took a dose of it. His indisposition increased to excruciating pain. Then he called a "regular" doctor The physician advised Garrett he had been poisoned and a short time later the patient died. Dog Killa a Wildcat Dog Kills a Whole Monravia, Cal.-Chum, the Alfredale dog belonging to Ben Overtuff, fire warden for this district, has demonstrated that a dog can lick his weight in wildcats. Chum attacked, and in five minutes killed a wildcat that stood as tall as the dog, though not as heavy. The Alfredale, following his master on a trapping expedition near Deer Park, "fushed" a bobcat and chased it into a pile of brush. He went in at a disadvantage and killed the animal. Chum's owner believes he would attack a mountain lion. HORSE SAVED AMIENS Heroic Canadian Cavalry Performs Great Deeds. Covers Itself With Such Glory as Will Live Forever In His Ottawa, Ont.—"Fighting for every inch of ground, taking tremendous toll from the attacking Huns, sometimes with French allies; acting often as infantry, as well as horsemen," writes Roland Hill, the official war correspondent for the Canadian government, "the Canadian cavalry has since the beginning of the great German offensive on the western front covered itself with such glory as will live forever in British military history. "Thely capture of the big wood north of Moreull and the charge of a squadron into a battery of German machine guns is, according to their comrades in the cavalry corps, in a class with Balaklava. The whole operation is regarded as the most famous cavalry action of the war. "Canada must be prepared to find many of her sons gone, but the price paled was not excessive. In addition to turning the tide of battle at various places in the forward areas, they practically saved Amlens. "General Sir Henry Rawlinson, visiting the Canadian cavalry on April 8, addressed each unit in turn and told them that the two woods they had captured from the enemy, the Bols de Moreull and Rifle Wood, were the dominating features, the possession of which might at that time have been fatal to the defense of Amlens. "No other troops, he stated, were available to retake these vital positions, and their courage and determination had turned the fortunes of the day. He said he had sent a cable message to Premier Sir Robert Borden telling him of the achievements of the Canadian cavalry." LEGLESS DOG THE FARMER G. W. Senshole of Jacksonville, Fla., has trained his dog, that was born without forelegs, to go around perfectly with a pair of wheels that he has built for the dog to take the place of them. STORE STANDS AT ATTENTION No Business Transacted in Establishment While National Anthem Is Sung. San Francisco, Cal.—Telephones jangle in vain and employees and patrons stand in one of the big department stores here when an American flag is unfurled from a high balcony in plain sight of all. This ceremony is followed by the store's band of 80 pieces and chorus of 60 voices leading "The Star-Spangled Banner," in which all present are asked to join. While the national anthem is being played and sung no goods are sold. The ceremony occurs at noon sharp, having been changed from nine o'clock in the morning in order that as many patrons of the store as possible might be given a chance to participate. NURSES TAKE UP BOXING Hear About German Brutality and Go in Training to Defend Themselves. Battle Creek, Mich.—All of the nurses who are serving in the base hospital of Camp Custer cantonment are to receive boxing lessons. The nurses, nearly 100 of them, who expect to soon go to France, asked that they be taught the art of self-defense. Stories of German atrocities inflicted upon Red Cross nurses and other women and girls made the Camp Custer nurses determined to learn how to fight. Charlie White, division boxing instructor, has been ordered to organize boxing classes for these women. So far as known, Custer is the first cantonment in the United States to take such action. Dying, Gives All to U. 8. Philadelphia, Pa.—"I am going to die in a few weeks," said a man plainly broken in health as he dropped $450 in bills on the counter of a Liberty loan booth here. "I drew that money out of the bank to give to Uncle Sam. I don't want honds—the money is a gift." The donor then hurried away without leaving his name. LEGAL NOTICES.

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.

SMITH, Druggist, Agents Wanted—Liberal Commission HAHN & CO. 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.
