Moulders of Public Sentiment Consider Methods By Which the Negro May Best Aid the Nation to Win the War. NOTABLE ADDRESSES BY OFFICIALS OF HIGH STATION. Free, Frank and Full Discussion of Many Vital Issues Affecting Colored Americans Characterize Representative Gathering—Personal of the Participants. By the authority and direction of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, called to Washington this week for a conference, thirty or forty representatives of important colored newspapers of the country, together with a number of the leaders of thought and opinion among the Negro people, to consider methods by which the millions of colored people of the nation may best assist in the winging of the war. Proceedings Marked By Dignity and Unity. The conference formally opened Wednesday morning, June 19, in the main auditorium of the new building of the Department of the Interior, 18th and F streets northwest, at 10:30 o'clock, and continued throughout Thursday and Friday, June 20 and 21. Mr. Scott presided at all of the sessions, which were marked by an earnestness of purpose; a broad grasp of the question at issue, and an unwavering loyalty to the flag of the nation, as well as by an intense devotion to the highest interests of the colored Americans for whom they came primarily to speak. The discussion covered a wide range, and the conferees were given an opportunity to present their views, reflecting the state of mind of the colored people of the country, with the utmost freedom and frankness, unhampered by parliamentary restrictions or any effort to direct opinion in any particular channel—save that of utilizing in the most effective manner every resource at the command of the race to bring victory to the American arms in its present struggle for liberty and world-wide democracy. Mr. Scott's admirably-tempered address at various stages of the deliberations repeatedly admonished the conferees to voice their sentiments fully and fearlessly, laying all grievances and suggestions for their redress upon the common altar, with the view of strengthening where needed the patriotism and morale of the Negro people. So fair and impartial were the rulings of the chair upon every point raised or principle enunciated, that at no time was a single exception taken to them. Every conceivable shade of individual opinion was represented in the body, but there was from the outset a firm disposition to subordinate private and personal considerations to the general good, without regard to politics, creed, faction or section. This lofty aim was adhered to most religiously. Dignity and unity of action were the predominating features of the three day's session. The document, reported by the special committee appointed to summarize the expression of the conference as to the best plans for the mobilizing of the resources of the 12,000,000 Negroes of the Republic in support of the war aims of the government, was adopted by a unanimous vote, given heartily and enthusiastically. "America" was sung with fervor and unction as final adjournment was taken. Notable Addresses by Officials of High Station.

Bush, publisher The Mosais Guide, Little Rock Ark. Extract From Resolutions Adopted. The following is extract from the Resolutions adopted by the conference: "We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press which has a circulation of more than a million copies, principally among the colored people of America, and representatives of other activities, wish to affirm first of all, our unalterable belief that the defeat of the German government and what it today represents is of paramount importance to the welfare of the world in general and to our people in particular. "We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the untarnished record of Negro Americans, to reaffirm our loyalty to our country and our readiness to make every sacrifice to win this war. We wish, however, as students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to keep these 12,000,000 people at the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic and self-sacrificing participation in the war. "We are not unmindful of the recognition of our American citizenship in the draft, of the appointment of colored officers, of the designation of colored advisors to the government departments, and to other indications of a broadened public opinion, nevertheless we believe today justifiable grievances of the colored people are producing not disloyalty, but an amount of unrest and bitterness which even the best efforts of their leaders may not be able always to guide unless they can have the active and sympathetic cooperation of the National and State governments. German propaganda among us is powerless, but the apparent indifference of our own government may be dangerous. * * * "The American Negro does not expect to have the whole Negro problem settled immdiately; he is not seeking to hold up a striving country and a distracted world by pushing irrelevant personal grievances as a price of loyalty; he is not disposed to catalogue, in this tremendous crisis, all his complaints and disabilities; he is more than willing to do his full share in helping to win the war for democracy and he expects his full share of the fruits thereof—but he is today compelled to ask for that minimum of consideration which will enable him to be an efficient fighter for Victory." Committees That Rendered Service. The committee appointed to summarize the proceedings of the conference was composed of the following: Dr. Robert E. Jones, chairman Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La.; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, the Crisis, New York City; John Mitchell, Jr., the Planet, Richmond, Va.; Dr. R. R. Moton, Prin- cipal Tuskdeege Institute, Tuskdeegee Institute, Ala.; B. J. Davis, the Independent, Atlanta, Ga.; and Fred R. Moore, the New York Age, New York City, and W. T. Andrews, the Daily Herald, Baltimore, Md. The committee to co-operate with the office of the Surgeon General of the Army to improve hygienic conditions among the soldiers was made up of J. E. Murphy, Afro-American Baltimore, Md.; George W. Harris, the New York News, New York City; John Mitchell, Jr., the Planet, Richmond, Va.; Dr. Henry M. Minton, Philadelphia, Pa., and Dr. A. M. Curtis, Washington, D. C. SPECIAL NOTICE. A special meeting of the District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is called for Wednesday evening, July 10th, at the Y.M. C.A. A number of important matters relative to the future policy of the branch will then be reported upon and discussed, and a full attendance of the membership is expected. This will be the last meeting of the branch until next fall. REV. S. G. LAMKIN INJURED. Sunday evening about 9 o'clock, while Rev. S. G. Lamkin, a well-known minister of the Baptist connection, was on his way to attend service at the Antioch Baptist Church, of which Rev. Peter Ailes is pastor, he was run over by an automobile. The driver of the car after he struck Rev. Lamkin was told by a white bystander to beat it. The man jumped in the car and drove off at full speed, leaving the injured preached alone in his miseries. He thought, however, that he was safe, but the number of his car was recorded by Albert Brown, 213 Massachusetts Avenue N.W., which was 178-626 New York. Two officers were in the car. It is not known whether the police department has made the arrest or not. GARNET COMMUNITY CENTER. Regular monthly meeting Thursday evening, which was largely attended by the members of the various activities with very interesting exercises. Miss L. Carter was elected second vice-president; Miss Tucker, secretary; Mrs. L. Krouse was appointed Red Cross secretary. One of the pleasant features of the evening was giving the honor of allegiance on Captain Rosetta E. Lawson's unit of twenty-three members of Garnet Red Cross section, H. T. B., by Dr. Wm. A. Warfield and Major Mrs. L. Turner and Miss Eva Wilson of the Harriet Tubman branch. A good many thrift stamps were sold. The following features were announced: Thursday, July 11—Red Cross Social evening and exhibits on knitting and making garments for the soldiers in the trenches. The public is invited. Daniel Freeman, center vice-president; Mrs. Anna G. Green, community secretary. W. E. B. DU BOIS Editor of the Crisis Has Been Appointed Captain in the Army. Editor W. E. B. DuBois of the Crisis has been appointed captain in the intelligence department of the United States Army. Editor DuBois is to be an assistant to Major Spingarn. It is generally believed that he will resign the editorship of the Crisis, which carries a salary of $4,000 per annum, since it is thought that he cannot discharge his duties as an editor and as an officer of the United States Army. MOUNTAIN VIEW NOTES. Harper's Ferry, W. Va., July 1. The Y. M. C. A. Summer School just closed with a howling success. Dean Moorland with his able corps of lieutenants put the thing "over the top." There were 110 able men enrolled—a daily average of 81. Added to this number were 40 transient visitors, who stopped at the Mountain View House during the two-week session. Mr. Callis of Baltimore rolled in on Saturday morning in his big automobile with Messrs. G. B. Murphy, W. S. Emerson and Dr. Reid. Next day, Sunday, the Hon. Tom Smith with his big Packard came down from the Monumental City; accompanied by Messrs. Date, Langley and Hawkins. The next and same day the McCord brothers, their wives and daughter and Miss Wilkinson, Dr. and Mrs. Wright and daughter, and Mrs. R. G. Baker. The old, reliable Snowden Keys of Washington, D. C., brought up the rear in his racer with Miss Nalle. Mrs. D. O. W. Holmes was on the grounds to welcome her old Baltimore friends. Scurlock was on the job with his big canvass case. Just after one of Martin's big country dinners he bunched a group of men together such as you seldom see. In just 24 hours his special orderly was on the grounds with one hundred large card boards on which were one hundred smiling faces. Can you beat that? Mr. J. W. Davis, the local secretary at Washington Y. M. C. A., was a new member of the faculty this year. He made two flying trips to Washington to look after Mrs. Davis, who has just arrived from Atlanta with their new baby. Dr. and Mrs. Moorland motored up and returned in their new car. Lawyer Moore was his legal adviser up and back. Mr. J. A. Linsley of the Washington Y. M. C. A., and Washington's noted chauffeur was at the wheel on both trips. The Doctor was one happy man leaving Mountain View when he had gone over the top. Mr. Lee, son of Bishop Lee of Xenia, Ohio, is remaining a week at Mountain View. Mr. Hamlin just could not go until he spent three days on the Potomac. His catch ran from 7 to 9 a day of those two-pound gamesters. Mr. J. B. Watson was also along as a new member. He did fine by adding a number of large bass and a three-pound Mississippi catfish. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlin left Saturday afternoon, but will be back to spend their vacation. Mr. C. C. McDuffin arrived yesterday for the season. The old regular, J. C .Nalle, will arrive this week. Mrs. Nalle, Miss Nalle, and Miss Parks will also arrive at the same time. SPECIAL NOTICE.

SOCIAL RIGHTS PLEA EQUAL RIGHTS PLEA MADE TO CONGRESS. Delegates to Session Here Put Petition in Penrose'e Hands. (Washington Post, June 30, 1918.) Congress is requested to make lynching a crime against the Federal Government, and as such subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts, in a petition unanimously passed by the National Colored Liberty Congress, which closed its session here yesterday. This and five other requests for the abolition of specific race discrimination are advocated by the petitioners as a win-the-war measure. The petition has been placer in the hands of Senator Penrose, and is to be presented to the Senate this week. The Colored Congress protests that Negroes are discriminated against in public and Federal territories, in public carriers operated by the Government in certain States, in the army and navy schools, in the right of suffrage in certain States, and in the civil service. The petitioners ask, in view of the military service rendered by their race during this present war, that our own republic may not be a part of the world not safe for democracy. They also protest the segregation of races in the officer schools. The Congress was called for the purpose of laying the cause of the colored man before the United States Congress, and was attended by 115 delegates from 33 States. H. H. Harrison, of New York, was chairman of the Congress, and Prof. J. W. Bell, of Kentucky, secretary. Wm. H. Trotter, of Boston, was elected chairman of the national executive committee for the coming year. M. W. Spences was elected secretary. HOTEL DALE. SOUTHERN KU KLUX KLAN. Mobile, Aja., June 17.—Rafe Clemmons, a Negro labor leader, was badly beaten and put abroad a train en route to New York late Sunday by a band of men in Ku Klux Klan uniforms. Clemmons was taken from the police patrol in which he was being taken to jail for a minor offense. The Negro was alleged to have started agitation among the longshoremen, and recently organized the Negro Washwoman's League. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) You know what occurs when the bases are full and a fellow comes up to the plate, makes a vicious swing at the ball and sends it sailing out over the left field fence, don't you? Sure you do! You know that homer cleans the bases and sets a lot of bleacherites yelling like 'Commanche Indians. Well, this draft business manipulated by Uncle Sam is cleaning out the pool rooms just that way. If the dear old Uncle Sam continues to "jug" the boys into training camps there will be a lot of pool rooms for rent, and a lot of old junk catalogued as "pool tables, cue racks, cues, etc.", that will be put on the market, and there won't be many tears shed in some otherwise well regulated homes. I passed by a "cullud" pool room the other day, one of those "dark, dismal, murky, foul-smelling" affairs what gets a license to permit a lot of serio-comic chromos to play pool at so much per cue, and I noticed that it was not so thickly populated with "idlewiles" as it used to be. I learned it was all on account of the draft. Now, most of these pool rooms, where a lot of syncopated individuals assembled to blow their coin, put a dent into their morals, and get the first microbe of laziness, you can take it from me are the worst dumps in any city for starting a young boy down the hill of destruction. There's many a parent who, if given his choice, of either sending their young heir to a coat with a belt for maintainin' the brains down in the stomach, either to a pool room or over in the trenches in France, would jump at the chance of sendin' them to the trenches. In the trenches they may run the risk of getting an especially designed lice to do their bodily cleanin'; get an opportunity to train with a swarm of sewer rats, and even get "pumonie," but if they are allowed to fill up the pool rooms in the city they run the risk of having' spoiled lives for the rest of their allotted years, and the average life of a pool room loafer who dallies with about four packs of coffin nails per day is only about steen years. Now, there is nothin' wrong with a quiet little game-of pool for amusement and recreation, but most of the pool rooms maintained for the syncopated heirs of tar-complexioned individuals ain't nothin' but the kindergarten for bad morals and crime. If draftin' a lot of the pool room habitues will break up a few cess pools, and give some of these charcoal hopefuls a chance to get a stranglehold on right livin' there will be about twelve million chromos whose foreparents use to form the South's big unremunerated asset who will shout, "On with the draft, let no pool room supporter escape." Now, while I'm on this subject, I might mention the fact, "by way of derivatives," as a certain scholarly squeeze prnti who apes a priest in the kind of vest he wears, would say, I might also point to the fact that the draft will go a long way toward breakin' up these "off-colored" South African dances around here. Next to the pool rooms, and perhaps a few degrees worse, these dance are just a train of abominations and exterminations. I passed one the other night, about 2 a.m. in the mornin', and a lot of "jenny-few-clothes" of tender years were pourin' out accompanied by a lot of triflin' dudes who had belts to their coats to keep their brains down in their stomachs. It was in me more motley crew, and the jimpanzee talk they were indulgin' in would have made a homky-tonk filled with soiled doves appear like a Methodist prayer meetin'. There are about five thousand, more or less—perhaps less, bits of human flesh, catalogued as "girls" in the Congressional Library who can lay the blame, for their first charcoal Madona to these dance halls. Between the pool rooms and the dance halls there has been more sorrow shoved into the lives of colored mothers, and more tears germinated in eyes what peak out from a black face than any other medium has produced. If I could get all these two-by-twice hookworm dudes, and all these anthracite shemales what wear dresses up to their knees to show their garters, and shirt waists cut low enough to show the "bulge" on their breast, who blow their coin and morals in pool rooms, and dance halls, on the bases, I'd just say to General Crowder, whose pitchin' in the U. S. Army League, to just lob a slow ball over the plate when Uncle Sam comes to the bat, and let him hit the pill so hard it would clean the bases of all these "uselesses." Or, every time one of these syncopated chromos came to bat—them there poolroom and dance hall frequenters—I'd call strikes on 'em, and wave 'em out of the game. Uncle Sam Needs Our Men.

DALE It has always been funny to me that our preachers don't open up a sort of Billy Sunday crusade against dance halls and pool rooms, and try to put 'em out of the game, or at least send all the players to the Imbecile League. Now, there ain't one particle of use' of the Prince-Albert-garbed gentlemen closin' up these places unless they are goin' to substitute somethin' for them. I've got a queer notion about churches. I don't know where I got the fool idea from, but anyway I sorter believe that a church, to do His work occordin' to Hoyle, ought to make some provision for amusin' the young hopefuls who ain't got far enough along in years to always wear a long face, and mumble prayers without a meanin'. This old thing of buildin' a church what costs $75,000 or $100,000 just to open it on Sundays in which to sing the doxology and hear some pie-face gentleman of the cloth talk about Dant's Inferno, what never was, ain't nothin' else but obtainin' money under false "suspenses," as a certain Reverend, long on grammar and orthography, has a habit of sayin'. Now, I went to a certain church recently—one of them there "open-one-day-and-closed-six" centers of physical religion, and I had to set there for two solid hours listenin' to one of them there seriocomic productions, enumerated in the census as "preachers," just naturally talking about nothing but mumified saints, lake of liquid fire, and eternal damnation, etc. He took for his text: "If you ain't got it, yer better git it," and announced, to his congregation that they would find that passage somewhere betwix Genesis and Revelation, maybe in the "Book of Dootyromony." He pounded the pulpit worse than Jack Johnson pounded Jeffries in their last fight. He jumped around like one of them there acrobats in Barnum's circus; he spilled a lot of words that would be harder to put together than the blocks in a Fifteen--Block Puzzle, and when he sat down, with perspiration runnin' off of him just like the waters "ran down the Lodore," I said to myself, sort of easy like: "St. Elizabeth sure must be like the rest of Washington—overcrowded," on they wouldn't allow this gynix to roam at large." I may have digressed a bit, but a fellow what conducts a vaudeville department is supposed to have the same license a poet has—juggle words to suit the lines, so permit me to pause just to say that mso eof these serio-comic hollow-headed jumpin' jacks, catalogued as ministers, are in the same class with pool rooms and dance halls; that is them what take as their text "If you ain't got it yer better git it"; "The Dish Rag in the Pot"; "And Adam Said Unto Eve, Go Put Yer Shimmie On," etc. William Calvin advises me that he's goin' to open his columns for short letters from the dear public on "Should Married Women Be Allowed to Teach?" Well, all I got to say is that until the government furnishes me with a steel, gas helmet, a diver's outfit and an aeroplane that will stay up when it get's up 5,000 feet above terra firma, you ain't goin' to get me to argufy that question; not even if The National Benefit Insurance Company presents me with a million dollar life policy with premiums fully paid up until Miss Gabriel tots her trombone. However, I imagine a few around here will begin to write on it, and really I guess it will be a good thing to arrange for this valve for lettin' off a lot of surplus iniquitous grammar and disarranged orthography. In the language of Dickie the Third—or Bill Shakespeare's Macbeth, I forgits which: "Lay on Macduffy and to h—| with him what first cries 'sufficient' until the day thereof." TEACHERS ORGANIZED. On Tuesday, May 28th, a number of grade teachers of the tenth, eleventh and thirteenth divisions of the public schools met, formed a temporary organization and applied for a charter to the American Federation of Teachers, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Two hundred and seventy grade teachers composed the body thus applying for membership. The charter was granted promptly with hearty congratulations to the new local, No. 27, which bears the name, The Washington Elementary Grage Teachers' Union, because the organization is the largest which has thus far applied for membership in the Teachers' Federation. On June 11 the union affected permanent organization, with the following officers: Dr. C. H. Thomas, President; Mr. E. Lawson, Vice President; Miss E. C. Jackson, Secretary; Miss Hattie Collier, Treasurer, and Mr. A. P. Brent, Guardian. Mr. Lawson and Miss M. A. D. Madre were selected to represent Local No. 27 at the convention of the Federation of American Teachers which convenes in Pittsburgh July 5 and 6.

FRAZIER AND BUNDY STORIES OF AMERICAN CITIES Mrs. Brown Bear Resented Spouse's Playfulness SAN. FRANCISCO.—Grim tragedy hangs over Bear Hollow in the ravine at the camp—tragedy symbolized by a weeping spouse who grieves before the latest golden star to be added to the honor roll of Great Lakes. From the time of their enrollment as rookies in detention two weeks ago, John and Susie Bear led an ideal life. John would nose out the choicest, tidbits from his daily rations and slip them to Susie for dessert, and Susie in turn would lie for hours scratching John's back. 23 walters But behind this lovely picture of conjugal bliss stalked the specter of death. Yesterday morning, it appears, John upon being awakened by the rosy hues of dawn reached over and gave Susie a bear hug. Her eyes fluttering open, Susie reciprocated by walloping John playfully in the jaw. This bit of tenderness resulted in John biting Susie on the left blind foot, a display of affection which led Susie to claw two yards of fur off John's spinal column. John was quite willing to let it go at that for the time being. But the love of a woman, once aroused, is a dangerous thing, especially that of a cave-lady. "Somebody had better hurry and rescue Johnnie Bear!" shouted a recruit, rushing into Ensign Sharpe's office a few minutes later. "Susie's got him down and is biting and tearing the hide off him." Members of the guard dashed into Bear Hollow—but it was too late. Even as they appeared, John rolled out from Susie's claws and lay with glassy eyes staring into the blue heavens. He was dead. A post-mortem examination disclosed the fact that a blood vessel had been ruptured by the excitement. Dumfounded by the result of the unleashing of her affections, Susie was overcome by grief. Last night it was thought she may follow her mate to bear heaven. Mystery of Intoxicated Cows Is Now Explained Mystery of Intoxicated Cows Is Now Explained TROPICO, CAL.-The cows thought it was a perfectly delightful tasting weed. So they ate and ate and ate and—so on. But when the chemists analyzed the milk produced by a certain Tropico dairy company, recently and ordered the proprietor arrested as a MAR-RVELO-OUS GRASS - WE-E ARE GETTING HIC - NON- First of all, Troplco is dry—bone dry. It turned as arid as a sandhill several months ago. And liquor held by the police, taken in confiscation raids, had no place in the Troplco jail. The court ordered it destroyed. Accordingly, the officers of the law took keg after keg of it, knocked out the heads of the barrels, and let the contents of barrels and bottles run down the gutters. However, it chanced that the gutters in Troplco are level a good part of it usually runs "every a large quantity of rich yellow liquor-dairyman had pastured his cows. that the gutters in Tropico are level affairs, and if there is enough liquid a good part of it usually runs "every which way." And it so happened that a large quantity of rich yellow liquor settled on the ground where a Tropico dairyman had pastured his cows. And several weeks later the unsuspecting bovines chewed down a number of the tall weeds that so suddenly had sprung up in the pasture. And—also—that is why the milk sold by the Tropico dairy had such a faintly satisfying odor, and taste. Careful investigation of the milk revealed a certain small percentage of alcohol, it is said. The dumfounded cow owner so vallantly protested his innocence of any bootlegging scheme that an investigation of the feed of the cows subsequently was made, resulting in the discovery of the mysterious booze weed. For want of a better name, residents of Tropico have named the weed "Intoxico." The cows have been taken out of the field where the weed was discovered and a careful watch of its growth is being recorded. "Sweethearts' Evening" Proves Great Attraction "Sweethearts' Evening" Proves Great Attraction NEW YORK.—From now on every evening will be "sweethearts' evening" at the new Enlisted Men's club, in the Broadway Congregational tabernacle, at Fifty-sixth street and Broadway. This announcement was made by Capt. William R. Fearn, who has charge of the club, after the first "sweethearts" evening, which was unanimously voted a great success by those present. Not only are sweethearts of army and navy men welcome, but wives, mothers, sisters and girl friends are urged to attend. 一 Pilgrim Hall, the basement of the church, has been fitted up for the uniformed men, and it will be used for rest and recreation quarters for the duration of the war. "What I like best is to talk to a pretty girl," said one khaki-clad young man. "That is what all we fellows like best, only some of us haven't nerve enough to speak it out," he added in confiding to Captain Fearn. The club is open from eleven o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock at night, and at all times there are older women and men on hand who, in addition to trying to make it pleasant for the soldiers and seamen, will serve as chaperons. There are four shower baths, and last Saturday 40 men used them. The army men take to water more than the navy men. There are several tables of billiards, and these can be used at any time except during Sunday services. There is a large library. There are 40 small green tables with white tops and green chairs about them. Here, Paris style, meals are served. Dinner is 80 cents and luncheon 25 cents. Bellion is tabooed, so that Jews and Catholics will feel as welcome as Protestants. Peevish Parrot Makes Trouble for Its Owner Peevish Parrot Makes Trouble for Its Owner PHILADELPHIA—There is a parrot on the third floor, back, of an apartment house that has displayed, according to testimony in the police court, some evidence of being a music critic. The bird does not hesitate to re- montrate in no mild language when vocal selections of neighboring tenants displease. Mrs. Pauline Michaelson, owner of the bird, acted as defendant in a summons case. STOP IT! OF YOU CAN'T SINT! K. S. Jasper, tenant in the first floor front, was the complainant. He charged that Mrs. Michaelson was responsible for the parrot's annoying attitude. Mrs. Michaelson said that the bird only remonstrated when vocal selections rendered by Mr. Jasper as he awakes each morning are wafted through the airshaft window. Mr. Jasper told the magistrate that he did not trifle with music, and he could hardly recall when the last note was uttered by his lips. The magistrate knows that no parrot, no matter how innocent he may appear tripping about his cage, is limited in its vocabulary. Taking all phases of the case into consideration and resting his judicial head on his arm on the desk, he meditated for a while and finally announced that a parrot with an unlimited vocabulary should not be limited to the confines of a cage and he believed that it would improve the disposition of the parrot if it were allowed the freedom of the Michaelson home. The magistrate directed Mrs. Michaelson to release the bird if she wished to preserve the peace of the apartments. She consented. WHO IS WHO NOW RUIT & DYNS Commissioner Bainbridge Colby of the United States shipping board, in addressing a congressional committee, protested against immediate absolute prohibition in this country, asserting that the work in the shipyards would decrease at least 25 per cent if the laborers were deprived of their beer. Mr. Colby then left Washington for the Pacific coast to inspect the shipyards there and to speak at San Francisco on July 4. Mr. Colby is a lawyer trained in large affairs. Before becoming a member of the United States shipping board he represented the public interest in many important litigations. He was counsel for the joint legislative committee in New York appointed in 1916 to investigate the public service commission and other public utilities corporations. He was also counsel for the United States government in its case against the newsprint paper trust. Previously declining many offers of public office, he accepted appointment to the shipping board in 1917 because the work attracted him. In taking this office he gave up a remunerative law practice. Commissioner Colby's special utility on the board is to bring the trained lawyer's faculty to master new facts, utilize expert knowledge, and assimilate, harmonize and combine the facts with a broad and vital policy. PROMOTED FOR BREAKING LAW US PAPST A 1919 Hugh S. Johnson, then a captain in the army, won promotion to a brigadier generalship last year and the everlasting gratitude of Provost Marshal General Crowder, his chief, last year by breaking the law and having 30,000,000 draft cards printed before congress had passed the law declaring conscription the method of raising Uncle Sam's army. The millions he spent were worth hundreds of lives in that they expedited in countless ways the sending of an adequate force overseas. He risked being cashlered and disgraced. General Johnson has been placed at the head of a bureau to co-ordinate the purchases of the war department, now that the draft has been reduced to a matter of detail. Johnson is only thirty-five years old; the youngest man who has ever risen to the rank of brigadier general since the Civil war, and the youngest West Pointer remaining continuously in the service who has ever attained that honor. In the report on the draft Crowder gave Johnson credit for the registration plan and regulations, with the plans for the drawing of the great mobilization, the questionnaire plan, and for supervising all the details of the draft. WINS POETRY PRIZE Copyright Underwood & Underwood Sara Teasdale has won the first prize ever offered in America for a book of poems. The award came to Miss Teasdale through her latest book of verse, "Love Songs." The prize was $500, offered by Columbia university, for the first time in the university's history, for a book of poems written by an American citizen, published during the year 1917. Three eminent critics acted as judges. This was the Poetry society prize, and it was competed for by both men and women poets of renown, and the fact that Sara Teasdale won speaks volumes for the quality of her poetry. Although one of the younger American poets, Sara Teasdale (Mrs. E. B. Plisinger) is well known to all lovers of poetry, and her work has been widely appreciated in England and Canada, as well as in this country. Her poems are highly lyrical and are considered by many critics to be the best examples of this kind of poetry written in America today. "Rivers to the Sea" attracted great attention and favorable criticism, as did also "Love Songs." Miss Teasdale edited an anthology of one hundred love lyrics by women, "The Answering Voice," also published last fall. COMMANDS OUR FLYERS U. B.U. Brig. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulols, head of the aviation service for the American expeditionary forces, has been appointed commander of the air service of the First army. General Foulols was one of the first officers of our army to study aviation, and was the second army officer to fly in a heavier-than-air machine. In 1909 he was selected by Orville Wright as his passenger in the first army test flights. General Foulols was born in Connecticut thirty-nine years ago. His career has been spectacular and his rise from the ranks meteoric. He served as a private in the Porto Rico campaign in 1898, in the Philippines and on the Mexican border in 1916. He graduated from the infantry and cavalry school in 1906 and from the army signal school in 1909. Foulois is well known for his extraordinary coolness, skill and daring in aviation. High army officials at Washington are confident General Foulois will make a reputation for our flyers even in comparison with the veteran airmen of the allied forces. His close association with Orville and Wilbur Wright, it is felt, makes him the ideal man for the position to which he has just been appointed by the war department. PAPAL CATHEDRAL WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS Women Chauffeurs Operate the Big Army Busses WASHINGTON.—Running,short of men,the civil service commission,under war necessity,appointed women chauffeurs to operate the big army busses that carry passengers having business with the government to the en, the civil service commission, under chauffeurs to operate the big army business with the government to the various departments. Two Washington girls to receive appointments to the women's motor corps of the government are Miss Esther Treger, 44 Dean avenue, and Mrs. Louise Torbert 2114 H street northwest. 1452 "I simply couldn't stand those knitting-knocking clubs. You know what I mean; those women who go to the theater all dolled up with their knitting. All they do is to 'knock' their friends." This is the explanation from Mrs. Torbert of why she decided to "turn the wheel" for Uncle Sam instead of taking clerical work or Red Cross work. "It was just born in me," said her sister chauffeurette. "I have driven the machine for my mother and father ever since we have had a machine. In fact, my father can't run it. He left it all to me," said Miss Treger, who is eighteen, the youngest member of the women's motor corps. Both chauffeurettes make 14 trips a day between the quartermaster's office, Seventeenth and F streets, to the war department annex, Sixth and B streets. They cover about 30 miles a day, guiding their busses right through the heart of the business section—or what they call the "traffickest" section. Mrs. Torbert, who gives $15 out of her monthly earnings as chauffeurette to the Red Cross, said: "Oh. I love my work. I shoot on the gas, throw in the clutch and just spin through the city. It would be Paradise if the people just wouldn't walk in front of the bus." "The hardest part of the work is the stopping every 20 minutes at the end of the routes," said Miss Treger, "and no lunch time. Like fish, we take a bite whenever we can get it." Blind People Eager to Aid in Winning the War Blind People Eager to Aid in Winning the War OF COURSE the old fellow at the Home for the Blind, 3050 R street, northwest, who would not turn his watch forward when the daylight-savings law went into effect, had scruples against "changing God's time," but every one of the 18 inmates of the home. I'D GIVE ANY- THING TO BE ABLE TO JOIN TH' ARMY TH' KAISER MASHT A FRIEND IN TH' WORLD And that is that the war must be won at any sacrifice and they are doing and will continue to do what they can to help bring the kaiser to his knees. Mrs. Louise Wickert, a Washington woman who has been totally blind for the last 20 years and who has been at the home for the last six years, is the premier war worker of the blind family. To date Mrs. Wickert has knitted thirteen sweaters, seventeen scarfs and three pair of wristlets. Mrs. Ruble Nowlin, also of Washington, has completed ten sweaters, three scarfs and eleven pairs of wristlets. While the women sit in their work room, knitting, making baskets and doing plain sewing, the men industriously work at caning chairs. All talk about the war. One of the treasures of a blind man is his watch. Then came the daylight-savings law and every clock in the nation was set forward an hour. Every clock but—— Those at the Home for the Blind. The dinner bell there rang at exactly the same time. Six o'clock was six o'clock. To please them the matron did not change the big clock on the wall. Then one day not long ago Mrs. Josephine Jacobs, president of the Aid Association for the Blind of the District of Columbia and head of the home, made a visit and discovered, to her amazement, that every clock and watch in the house was "slow." Some of the inmates explained that "they didn't see any sense in the fool law." Mrs. Jacobs then made a patrotic little speech about saving daylight and how it was helping win the war. With a will every timepiece was turned forward but one. The old fellow with his watch didn't believe in "getting mixed up." The Hoover program of food conservation is closely followed. Nothing is wasted. Victory bread and sugar allowances have come into as much favor with these blind patriots as with everyone else helping to win the war. Conductor Felt He Must Draw the Line Somewhere WASHINGTON street car conductors, being human, and suffering from the jamming of the cars along with the passengers, often are quite grouchy. You can't blame them. It isn't a bit of fun to be crowded into a street car so tight you can't move, and when you have got to fight your way to and fro to collect fares it makes a pretty tough job. I CAN'T USE THIS—IT'S A LAUNDRY TICKET DEEP THUGHT Of course, it's your job, so you have to make the best of it. There is one conductor in town who has determined to make the best of it evidently, for he is about as good humored a man as you can find any place, in any job. He usually has all the people on the car laughing, all the time. He can't make 'em "move up front, please"—for some mysterious reason Washingtonians will not move up in front—but he does keep 'em smiling, and that is something. From his place of rest at the crank of the door-opening device he sends forth good cheer both fore and aft. A man got on the car the other morning. He was in a hurry, and his mind was occupied with the big problems of the day, of this age filled with some of the biggest problems the world has ever known. "Tickets, please." said the joyful conductor. The man reached down into his pocket, felt for a ticket, and reached it forth to the conductor. "I can't take that," said the conductor. "I just had a man present me with an ice cream soda check. I might have used that, and I will take a rain check to the baseball game, but I won't take a Chinese laundry ticket." Millionaire Peeling Potatoes in Camp Kitchen T WAS Nelson Morris, multimillionaire packer in Chicago, but it's Private Nelson Morris, K. P. (kitchen policeman) at Camp Melgs, where the twenty-eight-year-old head of the great Nelson Morris & Co., packers, is wearing the khaki and hardening his muscles the khaki and hardening his muscles preparatory to doing his bit along with other young Americans. GEE! AN' HE HAS MORE DOLLARS THAN A DOG HAS HAIR— About the time Morris was directed to come to Washington as a refrigeration expert in the quartermaster department where he had volunteered for service at one dollar a year, his number was reached in the draft and he was sent to Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois. After a brief stay at Camp Grant, however, Morris was ordered to report to Washington. He was assigned to duty as kitchen policeman, reporting for duty at 6 a.m. to peel potatoes or prepare other food for the meals of the soldiers. During off hours, Morris cut firewood and engaged in other useful work about the camp. A period of guard duty followed for the young soldier-packer, and he has gone at his duties with a vim that has made his comrades in arms remark that "he is just like the rest of us and one would never believe he was a millionaire." Private Morris' wealth has not proved a burden since his entry into army life. He has fallen into the routine of the camp in good spirits and his superior officers have made no exceptions nor concessions when retailing the day's duties for the various privates in camp. THE WASHINGTON BEE Entered at the Post-Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. ESTABLISHED 1880 OPPORTUNITIES. Some of our people are too proud or sensitive to be discussed and advised as a class. They do not wish to be "classified." Generally this is the correct attitude, but as to many business matters not so. Hurtful artificial business conditions have been imposed on the colored people by more powerful groups. This constitutes the colored people an economic class. The facts exist; the conditions must be met; they must be overcome. To meet and overcome unfavorable economic conditions the colored people must act in many enterprises as a class. Their efforts must be assimilated to some sort of organization, at least to the extent of combined efforts in different cooperative groups of themselves. The true basis for the formation of cooperative groups must be the conditions that we face today; they are Opportunities. Any now-existing condition favorable to the formation of a cooperative business group is an opportunity, and should be seized upon and utilized. We do not need to seek far to find them, but, as we stated last week, only to "look near." There are about us many circumstances highly favorable for the formation amongst us of powerful and useful business groups. The plain, every-day man knows it, the high-brow scholar knows it, the veteran job-holder knows it, the fledgling job-seeker knows it, the struggling individual business man knows it—everybody knows it, and everybody is saying it, and yet—our people are slow to recognize and seize opportunities. Is past failure due to lack of a genius for fine business strategy? We think not. It is due, first, to lack of mobile capital; second, to a certain lack of mutual confidence. The remedy for the first is business generalship; the remedy for the second is patient cultivation. In future articles on this page we purpose to point out some definite opportunities of wide-reaching extent that await and invite utilization by cooperation. The first of those articles will be entitled "Opportunities. No. 1." EDUCATE? HOW? Let us educate.—Horace Mann. Educate and quicken the hands and feet.—Old Slave Owner and Modern Labor Exploiters. Educate the heart and hand.—Principals Armstrong and B.. T. Washington. Educate the heart, head and hand.—Presidents Cravath, Patton and Ware. Educate the whole person, by theory and practice combined, so as to make the complete man.—The Washington Bee. All the wounds of mankind can not be healed by education.—Prof. Rudolf Eucken, German Kulturist THAT LIBERIAN MISSION. The Liberian Mission seems to be going a-begging. No one appears to be making a vigorous campaign for the place, although it pays $5,000 per annum, or thereabouts. Mr. Richard C. Bundy, secretary of legation, is sitting on the lid, where he has been snugly ensconced since the demise of Minister James L. Curtis. As matters look at present, he is likely to hold on for some time. Mr. Bundy is an able young man, a clever diplomat, and is doing his duty, without any frills or fuss. Rev. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Conveneitno is the most prominently mentioned aspirant for the position. He is deeply interested in shedding the light of Christian civilization in the Dark Continent. From the Cleveland, Ohio, Advocate.

To put out an issue such as this in these times is a feat of which any publisher of a race newspaper might well be proud. Editor W.

MOTON Gives a List of Lynchings in the First Six Months. Tuskegee, July 1, 1918. Editor The Bee: I send you the following relative to lynchings for the first six months of this year. According to the records kept by the Division of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute there have been in this period 35 lynchings. This is 21 more than the number, 14 for the first six months of 1917; and 10 more than the number, 25, for the first six months of 1916. Of those lynched, 34 were Negroes and 1 was white. Eight of those put to death, all Negroes, were charged with the crime of rape. Of those put to death, 3 were women. The states in which the lynchings occurred, and the number for each state, are as follows: Alabama, 1; Arkansas, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia, 8; Illinois, 1; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 2; North Carolina, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 4; Texas, 7. Yours very truly, Robert R. Moton, Principal. MUCH IN LITTLE. Why, not give every female employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing an equal raise, notwithstanding the length of time he or she has been in the service? Females doing the same work in the Bureau are entitled to the same pay as those who have been there a longer period. Colored applicants who are certified to the government departments should be accepted. ** * * False friends are very dangerous at times. ** * * There are many ex-office holders in the city looking for favors. Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham, N. C., is making a great record. The Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., with a branch in this city, has won the confidence of the people. It is reliable and The Bee advises the people to favor it. Dr. M. W. D. Norman of the Metropolitan Baptist Church will speak on the existing war. Go and hear him. * * * Go and hear the great Norman. See notice elsewhere. * * * Dr. W. H. Jernagin and Dr. M. W. D. Norman are spoken of as the next president of the great Baptist Association. * * * Mrs. Julia Leftwich spent the day in Annapolis, Md., last Sunday. DR. SHEPARD, TRUE PATRIOT. Dr. James E. Shepard, the popular president of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., is to be the principal speaker at a patriotic demonstration, planned to be held in this city at an early date. Dr. Shepard is a member of the speakers' bureau named by the officials of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, whose duty it is to present to the colored people of the country the war aims of the Government. When the matter of a site for the proposed training camp for colored officers was broached last year, and difficulty over obtaining a suitable place was threatened, Dr. Shepard promptly tendered the Government the use of the campus of the National Training School at Durham. His selection, as an instructor in patriotism, is an exceedingly happy one, setting a big example himself. SENATOR MASON AROUSES WITH PATRIOTIC REPUB- LICAN ADDRESS. Ex-United States Senator William E. Mason, now representative at large from Illinois, was one of the speakers at the recent banquet of Illinois Republicans at Bloomington in celebration of the anniversary of the utterance of Lincoln's famous "lost speeech." He roused his several hundred hearers with a patriotic utterance in which he defended the right of Republicans to resist the theory that the present war can properly be used as a campaign asset by any political party. He spoke of the presence of his son in the trenches in France, and said that it was the duty of the Republican party to stand by the men who are fighting the battles of the republic even if in so doing they are compelled to criticize some politicians in the rear. Representative Mason is a candidate for renomination as representative at large in the Illinois primaries to be held in September, and on account of his popularity with the Illinois voters and his record as a campaigner, it appears that he will have no opposition. The retirement of Medill McCormick to enter the senatorial race, makes one new vacancy as congressman at large. Richard Yates, former governor, has announced his candidacy for this place. The National Republican, Washington, D. C. TOPICS OF THE TOWN. Rev. James W. Pace, of the mailing division of the War Department, was united in marriage recently to Miss Laura May Taylor, daughter of Mrs. Fannie Ware Taylor, of You Street N. W., LeDroit Park. The happy couple "honeymooned" in Baltimore. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride's mother by Rev. S. R. Bullock of the Third Baptist Church. Rev. Mr. Pace is substitutin gfor Rev. M. S. Caver as pastor of Olivet Baptist Church while Dr. Caver is taking a course for an army chaplaincy at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky. Word comes that the District members of the National Army have arrived safely "over there." The Washington contingent, of 268 who went to the training camp for technical instruction at the Agricultural and Technical College, N. C., report that they are getting along finely. A new group of three hundred students will report at Howard University July 15 for instruction in radio or wireless telegraphy, electricity and bench woodworking. Some of the present quota of three hundred have been sent to Camp Sherman, Camp Dix and other points. The commanding officer of the training detachment at Howard is Capt. Jerome Lavigas, a skilled instructor an ideal army officer. Secretary George W. Cook is in charge of the business arrangements. *** Bishop W. P. Thirkield, former president of Howard University, was in the city a few days ago, circulating among old friends. He is rejoiced over Howard's continued prosperity and is expecting great results from the new administration of Rev. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, who takes hold as president this month. * * * Major J. B. Ramseey, commandant of cadets at Tuskegee Institute, has been spending a few days in the city, the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand D. Lee, of 923 R Street N. W. Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, delivered a patriotic address in Alexandria, Va., on Sunday evening. Judge Terrell is soon to start over a Western itinerary to present the war aims of the government to the colored people. * * * Messrs. James E. Buckner, of Louisville, Ky., and George E. C. Hayes, of Richmond, Va., have passed the necessary examinations and have been admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia. Both are graduates of the law department of Howard University. *** Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, secretary of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, is dispensing benefits to many of the dependents of our boys who have been called to the front leaving loved ones behind. The people of the country are giving the committee loyal support, and Mr. Tyler, as secretary, is doing a mint of good and more than living up to the expectations of those who are contributing so liberally to the cause. Checks and money are coming in daily to the national headquarters at 1005 U Street N.W., and the benefactions are being given out in a systematic and orderly fashion, with a care that none but the worthy receive the people's bounty. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, attended the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute, which was held last week in New York City. * * * Mrs. Grace Lucas Thompson, appointed last November as a printer's assistant in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, has been promoted to an operative in the Surface Division. Col. Charles Young of the United States Army was in the city a few days ago and had a pleasant chat with the Secretary of War, upon whom he called to pay his respects. He was presented to the Hon. Newton D. Baker, the Secretary, by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant. Both gentlemen emerged from the inner chamber of the War Department with similes on their faces. The Colored Auxiliary of the War Community Service Commission of the District has established at 1634 Fourteenth Street N.W. a finely equipped recreation center for the use and benefit of the colored soldiers who come into the city from Camp Meade, Camp Humphrey or other military stations. Temporarily the club room is in charge of Mr. Henry E. Hagans. The committee controlling the business management of the center is headed by Judge Robert H. Terrell, Miss Marie A. D. Madre and Mr. Frank Wells, who are doing yeoman work in behalf of our gallant soldier boys. This club fills a long-felt want. Miss Lillian A. Evans, daughter of the late Dr. W. Bruce Evans, sung effectively at a special recital given in the Ebenezer A. M. E. Church in Baltimore last Sunday evening, under the auspices of Rev. C. E. Stewart. Miss Evans was ably supported by the Cosmopolitan Choral Society of Baltimore. * * * Dr. Benoni P. Hurst, son of Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst, of Baltimore, has been appointed a member of the regular staff of Freedmen's Hospital, Washington. * * * Wilberforce University has conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws upon Mr. Emmett J.

TERRY From the Stage to the Ministry. HIS FIRST SERMON After Being Called to Preach. —situated at 1912½ 14th St. N. W., has always enjoyed a certain distinction and advantage in being the only colored drug store on this popular thoroughfare. Since its establishment in 1905 by Board & McGuire this store has enjoyed a period of over twelve years of uninterrupted success, being well patronized by persons of both races, and enjoying the confidence of a large clientele of the best physicians in Washington. This confidence of physicians and the public has been won and maintained by strict adherence to sound business principles—honesty and fair dealing—giving to the physician just what his prescription called for, compounded with accuracy and integrity from absolutely pure and reliable drugs by registered pharmacists, and giving the public full value for its money in reliable and well-selected goods of the right quality, rightly priced. Quality has ever been the watchword of this store, and the wisdom of this stand has been fully justified by the public's support. Most people REV. TERRY From the Stage to the Ministry. After Being Ca EMMETT J. SCOTT, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War—The Man Behind the Race. Mrs. Daisy L. Miller, of 507 You Street N.W., and foster daughter, have come to realize that while the price is important, what you get for the price is more important. This firm believes in fair and open dealing, not tricks of the trade, in order to gain customers, and has always maintained the system of legitimate profit on all things sold, and avoided sacrificing one article for the purpose of getting unfair profits on others. As a result of this policy, it can count scores of customers that have dealt with it for years, and the present year has far outstripped all previous years in the amount of business done, notwithstanding greater competition in the neighborhood. Their ice cream soda trade has been the talk of the town for years, and here, as elsewhere, quality and purity is insisted upon. Delicious to the last drop is what their customers say. The proprietor of this store takes this opportunity to thank his many patrons for their confidence and support, and wishes to assure them that he will ever strive to merit their continued patronage by giving them the best and most efficient service in his power.

The wife is Peggy Admaston in the play, which ran all last.season in New York, hav- ing previously béen produced with equal: success in.London. With this recerd to its credit, “A Butterfly on the Wheel” -will be shown at the Howard .Theatre next week.

This she abuses by carrying on amore or less furi- ‘ous flirtation with Roderick Colling- wood, -who openly worships her and to whom she grants many ‘secret meetings, never ‘meaning any harm.

The dictionaries afford us no satisfactory explanation of "kultur." I have consulted the writings of some modern Hun philosophers, and in them, maybe, we find some notion of the German meaning of kultur. One German writer states that the germ of the notion is to be found in the great English philosopher Lord Francis Bacon. In a discussion on ethics Bacon contrasted with the highest good (summum bonum) the investigation of the way in which the mind is led to the highest good, and he called the process "culture." Emmanuel Kant (German, 1724-1804) said that kultur is "the production in a rational being of an ability to accomplish the desired aims in general." It would seem, however, that the modern German estimate of kultur dates only back to Fichte (German, 1762-1814). Fichte gave the typical expression to the one principle that lies at the basis of the whole modern theory, to wit: The principle that the ultimate problem of the life of the individual and of the masses consists in this: That all the forces given to man should be fully developed, should be increased infinitely, until they attain power over nature, over the life of man, over the world (Weber die Welt), and then arrive at "the pleasures in existence which arise therefrom." The distinctive peculiarity of modern lift, the generality of German philosopher's claim, consists in the fact that this is presented as the essential and comprehensive problem and that all special aims are made subordinate to it. Rudolf Eucken (German, now living) said about forty years ago: "The modern idea of kultur, with its immeasurable undertakings, demands both a combination of many forces in common action and an activity which pervades all races and times; whatever of that the temporary life of the individual can comprehend disappears in comparison with the whole, and diminishes in proportion to the advance of the whole." He proceeds to show the importance of the whole compared to the individual. In the same connection he makes the rather startling statement: "The doctrine that by education all the wounds of mankind can be healed, is no longer held in the confident faith of the day." Prof. Eucken is, perhaps, the most distinguished living German philosopher, unless we except Ernst Haeckel. Both are atheists; both quite old men—old pagans; both are defenders of the present-day cult, "Deutschland ueber alles" (Germany over all). Each reader must figure out for himself what the German philosopher, statesman or soldier means by German kultur. The rest of the world must find the definition in the best exemplification observable, the present attitude, of the German nation which being interpreted means: That Germany and Germans should be the center, the whole, or stand for the whole, of the world; that all other nations should be as individuals subordinate to that whole; that their ambitions should "disappear in comparison with the whole"; in short, Deutschland uber allies. To this add that education is not a sine que non of kultur. It would be preporterous to admit the German claim that the Germans evolved their notion of kultur from Lord Bacon's notion of "culture." The one is not an evolution from the other, but a perversion, a monstrosity. To borrow a word to denote a pernicious notion is not to borrow the notion. The Germans may have borrowed the word kultur from Lord Bacon; they borrowed their notion of it from gentlemen and scholars of the stamp of Attila the Hun. Attila called himself "The Scourge of God"; the German leader claims to be "in league with God." They both typify kultur. William H. Rocap, sports editor, writing for the Philadelphia. Public Ledger, recalls an event well remembr bered by many Baltimoreans. It follows: bored by many Burtmoreans to follow: Sixteen years ago the writer settled back in his seat at the ringside at Fort Erie, Canada, expecting to witness one of the most scientific battles of modern times. The late Joe Gans and Frank Erne were the principals. The writer, like thousands of others, had traveled hundreds of miles to see these two great lightweights' match their skill and wits against each other. The unusual interest felt throughout the country in this, the second meeting of the then lightweight champion and his dusky challenger, was manifest at an early hour in the Canadian city. Crowds began to pour in on every train from New York, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Detroit, Rochester, Syracuse and Philadelphia. Like the writer, they expected a fistic treat. But it was all over inside of a minute. To be exact, the timekeeper's watch had clicked off exactly 50 seconds when Erne was counted out by the late Charley White, who was the official referee. The betting, which up to this morning had been, even money, with Gans' money predominating, took a sudden shift. The Erne men began to unbelt and speedily wiped the Gans money off the board, 100 to 70 on Erne being the last quotation. Crowds began to swarm across the Niagara River as early as 5 o'clock, and from that hour on until 8.30 each trip made by the two boats of the ferry company, carried hundreds to the Fort Erie Clubhouse in Canada. Gans entered the ring at 9.35, followed a few minutes later by Erne. Gans crossed the ring and shook hands with Erne, who got a great ovation. The late Terry McGovern, who had beaten both men, was introduced. Art Sims, Kid Parker, George MacFadden and Kid MsPartland challenged the winner. Young Peter Jackson and Al Weinig entered the ring, challenged each other and were matched to box at Fort Erie. Erne's handlers were Jimmy Conners, Frank Zimpfer and Slip Kreigher. In Gans' corner were Al. Herford, Herman Miller and Young Jackson. Both men wore bandages. When they stripped both seemed to be in fine condition. Erne appeared to have trained into splendid condition. Gans looked much lighter than in any of his fights in the last two years and it was predicted that the reduction would impair his strength. It was announced that Gans weighed in at 133¼ and Erne at 132½. The weight of the bout was 136 pounds ringside, so both were far below the weight called for. The men fought straight Marquis of Queensberry rules. It is safe to say that not a person of the 5,000 who saw the bout expected so quick a result. No sooner had the gong sounded than Gans tried his left for Erne's jaw. Frank slipped away, with Gans chasing him. After some sparing, Gans feinted with his left and Erne threw his head to one side to avoid the blow. By doing so he put his jaw in the exact position Gans wanted it. Up came the Negro's right like a catapult, crash on the point of Erne's jaw. The Buffalo boy went down, all but out. He made a game struggle for an instant to get to his feet and then rolled over on his back, dead to his surroundings. After the count, Charley White packed the beaten man up in his arms, and with the assistance of his seconds, carried him to his corner. The sudden ending of the bout was a severe shock to the army of Buffalo sports, who were with Erne to a man. They had forced the betting from even on Gans to 100 to 70 on Erne, with plenty of takers. The result stunned them. Al Herford, Gans' manager, and his followers were jubilant. They had bet thousands of dollars on Gans and won the money much quicker than they had dreamed of. It took fully a minute to bring Erne back from dreamland. He was bleeding from the nose and mouth, and there were tears in his eyes when he realized his defeat. "Gans will have to fight me again," he said. "We can't let it go at that. He has got to give me the chance I gave him." Erne in a dazed way crossed the ring looking for Gans. But the Baltimore, accompanied by a delegation of jubilant Negroes, had departed for Gans' dressing-room. How Gans Planned It. Immediately after the bout the writer sought Gans in his dressing-room and like the ring general he was, he said: "My knockout of Frank Erne was the quickest change of championships on record. I had that battle at Fort Erie planned to an inch—both my end and Frank's. For nights before the fight I lay in bed thinking out Erne's moves and fig- uring how I could catch him. Some fellows will back one step or two steps or three steps when they give ground. Erne's when he went back from a feint, would go only a certain number of inches and then start forward again. "I planned to meet him immediately, feint with him and as he drew back to a certain position hook my right hand over to the spot where he would be. "I could have followed my schedule with my eyes shut and put him out, for he did exactly what I had figured on. We feinted. Erne drew back just so far and stopped. I was following him and my right hand had already started when he stopped and bobbed his head back right into the blow. He was out for several minutes." TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. New York City, June 28.—The annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute was held in the office of Mr. Frank Trumbull, president of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, 61 Broadway, New York City, the morning; of Thursday, June 27th. Members of the board present were: Mr. William G. Willcox, formerly president of the New York City Board of Education, chairman; Mr. Frank Trumbull, president of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, New York; Mr. Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago; Mr. Charles E. Mason, Boston; Mr. William J. Schieffelin of the firm of Schieffelin & Co., New York; Mr. V. H. Tulane, grocer and banker, Montgomery, Alabama; Mr. W. M. Scott, of the Cutler Electrical Company, Philadelphia; Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute; Mr. Warren Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee Institute, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute. Principal Moton reported on the work of the institute for the school year of 1917-18, and told of the several ways in which the institute is serving the government in helping to win the war. Notwithstanding the demands for war relief movements, more money was raised for current expenses than ever before. The trustees expressed satisfaction with the year's work, and renewed their pledge to hold up the hands of Dr. Moton in his endeavor to keep Tuskegee going in these days of stress and strife. Policies affecting the institute were discussed and decided upon, after which the board adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman: COLORED PRESS COMMENTS. The Law of Retribution. In sunday sections of the land murfled notes are summoning the frenzied mob to deeds of violence; the funeral pire is being raised; the flames lash angrily against the helpless body of some miserable mortal. Meanwhile, far out upon the briny deep a Negro fireman of the stricken ship, the City of Athens, is enacting the principle of retributive justice, in inverse ratio, by rescuing from the treacherous waves the helpless body of a white woman and that of her baby in her arm. James Wallace, of Savannah, Ga., is that rescuer, and Mrs. Florence P. Harrison, the daughter of W. L. Pickard, president of Mercer University, Macon, Ga., is the rescued.-Indianapolis, Ledger. Returning Good for Evil. 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 genetuosly, 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.—Cleveland Advocate. Pittsburg ought to have the best colored citizens in the United States, but to advertise his vices, principally born of an ignorance for which Pittsburgh may be responsible, and to minimize his virtues, admittedly works a discouragement, and shuts out the last ray of inspiration and hope. We had as well be bad as good, since no notice is taken of our good deeds. There is no premium placed upon the fellow who tries. He is classed with the man who never tried.—Pittsburgh Courier. The Remedy for Lynching There is but one remedy for Lynching. There is but one remedy for lynch-law, that is the strict, prompt enforcement of the criminal law at all hazards. That individual who with or without others takes the law into his own hands is an enemy of the State—more insidious and more dangerous to the State than any foreign foe. He breaks down the morale and civilization of his own community. He whips his own country before it can meet the enemy. Sooner or later America must see to it that the life of every one of its citizens "over here" is sacred, is to be protected and safe-guarded by the Army and Navy if need be.—New York Times. The Black Man's Bravery. Despite the misrepresentations to which the colored people of this country have been subjected, they are winning a place in this "world's war." The short, crisp, 'straightforward declarations tell their own story.—Richmond Planet. A. AND T. SUMMER SCHOOL HAVE SOCIAL. Friday marked the close of the first week of the A. and T. College Summer School, at which time a social was held in the college chapel between the soldiers of the army training camp and the summer school teachers. A number of recitations and musical numbers both by the soldiers and summer school students made up the program, which was held from 7:30 to 9:30. It is planned to have a number of these socials in order to make the soldiers feel as much at home as possible. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock the summer school students and the A. and T. College Army Training School were addressed by Mr. C. H. Ireland, president of the Odell Hardware Company, one of the largest in the South. The soldiers in the training camp and the summer school students make the A. and T. College campus probably the most lively place in the state this summer. CAPTAIN ROWAN Dismissed for Refusing to Mix Races in Troop Formation. Little Rock, Ark., June 29.—By virtue of telegraphic communication from the War Department received at Camp Pike today, Captain Eugene C. Rowan, late of the 162d Depot Brigade, was dismissed from the service. Captain Rowan's offense was that he refused to obey an order issued by the brigade commander calling for a troop formation because both Negroes and white soldiers were included in the formation. He is a native of Georgia, but has recently lived in Mississippi. TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW LONG. 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. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th St., New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper. .TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

The image shows a large, open field with a few trees in the background. In the foreground, there is a building with a large clock tower on its roof. The building appears to be a public or institutional structure, possibly a school or a town hall. The field is empty, and there are no people or vehicles visible in the image. It is more than a mere school. It is a community at service and uplift. Its influence is destined to be felt in all sections of the country in improved Negro community life wherever our trained workers locate. The following departments are already in successful operation: Teacher Training, Industrial, Literary, Academic and Collegiate, Commercial, Missionary, Theological, Household Economics and Departments of Music.

Mr. Salem Tutt Whitney, the famous comedian and producer, writes from his home in Philadelphia that his new play, now in course of preparation, is to be called "Darkest Americans," and the first act is to be laid on the campus of Howard University, this city. It will deal with the humorous side of college life, bringing out a lot of fun, without any sacrifice of dignity or violation of any of the properties. The new production of "The Smarter Set" is to be a tribute to Washington, which town has always given Whitney and Tutt a warm and sympathetic greeting when they have come this way.

Scott, who was called to view a patriotic parade at Wilmington, Del. The repora of the conference of colored editors, given elsewhere in this issue of The Bee, shows that there was nothing secret or clandestine about it. The editors are taking the people thoroughly into their confidence and their plain talk with the powers that be will doubtless result in great good to the race. Frank, heart-to-heart conferences with people worth while have a more beneficial effect than all the sensational soap-box oratory that the race can exude in a decade. Wm. T. Wilson, one of the successful candidates in the recent examination for admission to the bar of the District of Columbia, has been duly admitted and will take up practice in this city and Virginia.
