President Wilson PRESIDENT WILSON PLEASED WITH EDITORS' CONFERENCE VOL. XXXIX. NO. 11 PRESIDENT WILSON WITH EDITOR President Wilson is greatly pleased with the conference of colored editors and other leaders of thought and opinion among the colored citizens of the country, held a short time ago in this city. The report of the conference has been published far and wide, and the proceedings have attracted a larger measure of attention than the report of any similar gathering of colored men since emancipation. The President sent the following letter to the Chairman of the Conference: Your letter of June 26th has been called to my attention, and I am both interested and pleased with the report it gives of the meeting held in Washington by leaders of thought WAR DEPARTMENT BUREAU STEADILY GROWING. When Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was called to Washington last October to serve as special assistant to the Secretary of War, he immediately requested the Department of Commerce to release Mr. William H. Davis, who for many years had been performing stenographic and other technical work in that department of the government, and who for many years has been official stenographer of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Davis was accordingly released and has been serving as secretary and first assistant to Mr. Scott since the beginning of his work in Washington. The office force was later enlarged by the addition of Mr. Charles A. Wilson of Boston, Mass., a stenographic helper, and within the last few weeks by the further addition of Mr. Charles L. Webb of Chicago, Ill., a stenographic helper, formerly status clerk in the United States General Land Office, Interior Department, and Mr. R. W. Thompson, the well known correspondent, who had been transferred from the Treasury Department to serve as an assistant in handling the many intricate problems which come to the office of the special assistant, whose bureau looks after matters affecting the interests of colored soldiers and colored citizens generally during the period of the present war, and is acting in conjunction with the Committee on Public Information and other agencies of the government in the important work of stimulating the continued loyalty of colored Americans. The duties involving upon Mr. Scott have grown steadily in volume and gravity, and it has been necessary to steadily increase his office force to keep pace with the overwhelming mass of correspondence that flows daily into the office and to properly care for the welfare of the hundreds of cases that constantly press for attention and touch every possible phase of the activities of the colored people of the nation. GREAT PATRIOTIC MEETING. Will Be Held at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Third and I Streets, Monday, August 19th. A great patriotic meeting will be held at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Third and I Streets N.W., Monday, August 19, 1918, at 8:30 p. m. The principal speaker will be Hon. Wm. Harrison of Oklahoma. Subject: "The Negro and the War." Lawyer and opinion, among the Negro citizens of the country. The problems considered by the conference of special importance to the people whom they represent are grave and weighty, and the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the frank and calm consideration given to these matters. In the meantime it is cheering to see that the fine philosophy of democracy, which is at this time the inspiration of the great effort of our country, was felt and expressed by these conferees as the dominating thought which ought to control all Americans in the present crisis. Harrison is one of the greatest orators of the race. Don't fail to heat him. Unfurling of the service flag and dedication of the sons of the church to the war will take place at this service. Special dedicatory exercises will be led by the pastor. Good music by the choir. C. E. WORKERS' PICNIC AND NOTES. Saturday, August 12th, the Christian Endeavor Workers will hold their annual picnic at the Zoological Park from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. All persons will take their dinner with them. Ice cream is the only thing that will be served by the committee, and this will be served free of The C. E. Workers extend a cordial invitation to the public to come out and spend a day of rest and enjoyment with them. The committee has left. nothing undone to make this one of the finest and most social outings that has ever been given by the workers. There will be numerous games played during the day. Among them will be a baseball game between the Baptist and the Methodist teams. The winning team will play the Catholics. The committee that has the evangelistic work in hand has completed their plans for conducting this work during the present campaign. Mr. Gilmore has been elected as organist and leader of the singing, and Mr. C. B. Braxton, of the Christion Endeavor Society of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, his assistant. Mr. Braxton needs no introduction to the Endeavorers of Washington, being well known in Endeavor circles. It is expected that Mr. Braxton will give a good account of himself in his new position. Mrs. Washington and Rev. A. E. Lyles of the People's Congregational Church have been chosen as speakers during this campaign, and several other speakers of ability and eloquence are to assist them in this work. Dr. Lyles is deeply interested in our people who live in the courts and alleys of this city. His interest in them may be measured by the following simple story, told by himself: He said that his church offered to give him a vacation, but he refused to take it; he told them that he expected to remain in the city during the summer. This story was told by Dr. Lyles while making a speech to the evangelistic committee. We did not understand why it was that this young pastor turned down a vacation tendered him by his WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1918 To Emmet Scott church. We just could not understand it. But we did understand it later on. In a discussion of alley conditions of our people and the general improvement of the race we discovered in the remarks of Mr. Lyles on this subject that he had given up his vacation this year that he might assist the C. E. Workers in their evangelistic work during this campaign. The Rev. Dr. Lyles is filled with holy fire. He will give the prince of darkness many a heavy jolt before this campaign is over unless something happens to him. The work out at Camp Pleasant is now going on every Sunday afternoon from 3 to 4:30. Let each society that is called to lead a meeting out there go and take as many of their members with them as they can and let them flush their lungs with the pure country air; and they will be sure to go again. A trip out to Camp Pleasant is health-giving. Encourage your senior members, particularly, to take this trip for their health's sake. The C. E. Conference will meet in the fireroom department of the Y. M. C. a next Monday evening, August 12, 1918. A full attendance is desired, there being much business of importance to be transacted at this meeting. The evangelistic wagon will leave the Y. M. C. A: every Sunday at 4 o'clock for the court or alley where the evangelistic meeting is to be held. The wagon has twenty or more seats, and Mr. Gilmore is desirous that each one be occupied by a Christian worker each Sunday during the campaign. NEXT WEEK AT THE HOWARD The Greatest American Play Ever Written of American Business and Politics. The history of the New York stage of last season would make a barren and uninspiring narrative, for failure followed failure with a rapidity that was as unfortunate for managers as it was alarming to the devotees of dramatic art. English, and French productoins were liberally exploited, but they all met the same repressing fate. In this dearth of things dramatic, and among the very few plays destined to live out the season, was "The Boss," the virile, forceful play of contemporaneous American life, by Edward Sheldon, author of "Salvation Nell." "The Boss" is an American play, racy of the soil, and is told in the crisp, biting American style. It is probably the most widely known and the most discussed play in America. It grips and keeps hold. It is sound with flesh and blood characters, dealing with vital conditions in a powerful manner. It is "a play about something," and that tersely explains the remarkable interest it has stirred up, and therein lies its enduring value. The attitude of the New York press toward "The Boss" has been most interesting because wholly unusual. On the day following its first production there was a perfect unanimity among all the newspapers as to the success and worth of this great play. This was echoed in the weekly papers and re-echoed in the monthly and quarterly magazines. Men in all departments of activity in business and professional life found the play an inspiration for praise, and the general verdict was that it is one of the best American plays ever written. "The Boss" appeals to everybody, regardless of age, sex or condition. It is significant that women are ardent admirers of this play and that as a matinee attraction it rivals any offering of pure sentiment or romance that the American stage has known for years, and this is because women, young and old, are alert to its portrayal of the real man's love for his wife. The play tells the story of how a wife's antagonism and virtual dislike is, little by little, turned into love and admiration, and how a man, purified by defeat and heart worry, ultimately develops the best that is in him. "The Boss" would hardly be a Sheldon play, if it did not introduce some startling episode, but the love interest looms big throughout the play, and furnishes its most absorbing interest. The entire country, from the Atlantic seabord to San Francisco and the great Northwest, flocked to see this play, for there is no man or woman in any community to whom its theme is not fascinating. THE N. A. A. C. P. SENDS AN- OTHER TELEGRAM. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public the following telegram addressed to Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas concerning the lynching of Jim Brown near Ben Hur, Texas, on July 27th. The Association casts the attention of the Governor to the fact that this lynching occurred on the very day when President Wilson's emphatic denunciations of mob lynchings were printed in the press of the country. The telegram follows: August 2, 1918. Hon. W. P. Hobby, Governor, Austin, Texas. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, speaking in the name of its one hundred and twenty-five branches, five of them in Texas cities, and 36,000 members, respectfully asks what steps are being taken by Texas authorities to apprehend the lynchers of Jim Brown, near Ben Hur, on July 27th, the very day when President Wilson's emphatic denunciations of mob lynchings were printed in the press of the country. President Wilson in this noble and highly patriotic utterance appealed to the governors of all the States to cooperate actively and watchfully to make an end to this disgraceful evil of lynching, saying further that it cannot live where the community does not countenance it. Seventeen Negroes have now been lynched in Texas since June, 1917—a lynching record exceeded by only on State in the Union during the same period. This Association does not condone crime, but insists, with President Wilson, that its punishment be by law and not by mobs. Secretary, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. COMMANDER OF STUDENT ARMY TRAINING CAMP Lieut. Russell Smith has been detailed as commanding officer of the Washington Student Army Training Camp just opened on the Howard University grounds. The Student Army Training Camp at Howard is for the instruction of representatives of colored colleges throughout the land, to the number of 300, who will be given intensive training in military science and tactics for a period of forty-seven days, after which they will return to their respective institutions to train others in the work which they have learned. Provision has been made for the formation of a student army corps, which will be advantageous to the National Army when the young men are eventually called to the colors. Many colored schools are taking advantage of this training offered at Howard University. HOTEL DALE. Cape May, N.

NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. The leaders of the National Race Congress are very much encouraged over the outlook for the coming session in October. This will be the anti-lynching session. Appeals are being made to every Negro organization in this country that is opposed to lynching and mob violence to register in this Congress. Plans are being laid to reach every church and society in the District of Columbia through their leaders to have one delegate to this Congress. The many letters coming to the headquarters daily tell how much the people are interested in the coming session. The colored people of this country are aroused as never before to get together in one great race organization, that stands out for the manhood rights of the race. Watch this paper each week for Congress news. HOTEL MEN ENTERTAIN DRAFTEES. Thursday evening, August 1st, several of the members of the Class I men of the 1917 draft were entertained before leaving for camp at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Robb of 635 T Street N.W. Addresses of good fellowship, mixed with patriotism and a fancy, Dutch supper, were the features of the evening. Mr. John Hicklin, one of the captains at the New Ebbitt, was awarded a wrist watch as a remembrance from his co-workers. Complimentary remarks were made by those present on the excellent records of Captains Hicklin and Miller, the two officers in Class I. Mr. Hicklin left for a Southern camp Monday afternoon. Mr. R. P. Robb and Mr. John T. Lacey acted as caterers for the occasion. The cuisine and service were strictly up-to-date. Short addresses were made by the following persons: Messrs. John F. Moore, J. Finley Wilson, R. P. Robb, Capt. J. H. Harris, R. DeReef Miller, George Sembly, John T. Lacey, S. J. Harrison, J. L. Britt of the Food Administration, and Mr. W. T. White. A fervent prayer was said by Sir Charles E. Davis, chaplain of the New Ebbitt Waiters' Association, for its members over there and those that were about to enter the service. SATURDAY CHEESE MEAL WHEATLESS THE NO MEAT Crackers, BISCUIT OR BREASTED BODDY CONTAINING WHEAT Scott THE RACE CONGRESS NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS OF AMERICA. Appeals for Moral and Financial Support—Send Representative to the Next Congress. My Dear Friend: Believing you to be interested in the future welfare of the race, we are appealing to you for your moral and financial support in the next session of the National Race Congress, October 1, 2, 3, 1918. The executive committee is making a drive for three thousand units to represent in the next session: These units may be churches, fraternal societies, schools, business leagues, labor organizations and any other organization in the race that stands for the uplift of our people. We desire to have you assist us in getting your church, society or any other organization to which you belong to send a representative to the meeting of the next Congress. If any of the organizations find themselves unable to send a delegate, they will help the cause of the race if they will send a donation accompanied by a letter giving the name and address of the presiding officer and secretary of their organization. Arrangements are being made to make the next session of the Congress the greatest meeting in the history of the race. It will be known as the Anti-Lynching Session of the National Race Congress, and every colored organization in this country that is opposed to lynching and endorses the bill that is now before Congress to make lynching a Federal crime, is asked to send a delegation to this meeting. All phases of the race interest will be discussed by men who have made a special study of the same. We are asking every individual member of our race who believe in the principles for which this Congress stands and are willing to help us to contend for the manhood rights of our race, to make a special donation for the support of this Congress. Send all communications to the Headquarters of the National Race Congress, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, President, 903 Third Street N. W., Washington, D. C. Rev. Wm. Alexander is secretary; Rev. H. J. Callis, chairman of the executive committee, and Rev. J. S. L. Holloamn, secretary of the executive committee. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, WEST WASHINGTON. The First Baptist Church, West Washington, which is always in the forefront in doing great things, at its last church meeting unanimously voted a very substantial increase in the salary of its highly esteemed and eminently successful pastor, Rev. James L. Pinn. The church is prospering both spiritually and financially. The choir of forty voices has recently been vested and presents a most beautiful appearance. Under the able leadership of Mr. Joseph N. Lawson, chorister, they are rendering excellent music. During the month of August the choir is granted a vacation by the church. A well trained junior choir, under the direction of Mr. Edward Chives, is furnishing very pleasing music during their vacation. A reception was tendered the senior choir by the pastor, Rev. James L. Pinn, at his residence on Tuesday evening, August 6th. A fine program was rendered by members of the choir and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed. --- PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Talk about strange things, supernaturalism and phenomenas, that have mysticism hangin' all about 'em, the strangest thing what ever happened in this center of high cost of living and low service in Negrophoid restaurants was that week before last Dr. Will Davis, who runs a pill factory at Eleventh and You Streets, hid himself to the country for a vacation. Now, as everybody 'round these diggins knows, Dr. Will Davis could be found in his pill factory from 6 a. m. to 10 p. m. for 300 days out of a possible 365 in a year—ever since Romeo spilled his love on Juliet. A couple of weeks ago the old "iron man" what's got more loose change rustin' in the Washington Loan and Trust Company than the Mint at Philadelphia turns out annually, heard a rumblin' in his intestines, a thumpin' in his head, and had to take to his bed. Dr. Ed Williston's recommendation of a homemade mint julip, and Dr. Frank Davis' recommendation of a dose of paregoric, had no effect, so Jess Foster, who dyes every day to live, loaded Will in his gasoline contraption and hauled him up in the mountains to Viewtown, a place only known to Jess, Foster and one or two other moonginers. Here they say Dr. Will Davis is milkin' the cows for exercise, drinkin' their product for fattenin' purposes, eatin' cornbread four times a day, and sighin' twice every minute for a mint julip; just to rearrange his bowels, head and other interior decorations. We told Dr. Will steen years ago, before he became a millionaire and a cutter of coupons on bonds, that if he didn't watch out the gobelins would get him, but he just naturally thought there wasn't room for him in Harmony Cemetery and continued on confiscatin' the gold output of the country. He writes back from his retreat in the mountains to Dr. Ed Williston that he is sure goin' some and that when he returns he will resume his customary diet and make his Saturday night perambulation with a vigor that will back all contestants off the board. Hope you are shoutin' the truth, you old pill peddler. "Bulleve" me, I wouldn't have Emmett Scott's one-dollar-a-year job for all the treasures the German submarines have sent to the bottom of Davy Jones' locker. That little squeeze print from Houston, Texas, via way of Tuskegee, is workin' his head off, and his body into some future seaport, tryin' to get a fifty-fifty break for his teakwood complexioned affinities. Some of them are handin' him big American Beauty roses of appreciation; some of them are just givin' him the once over, and some of them are givin' him h—l. The boy has plum fallen down on some of the things he tried to do, but it wehn't no fault of his lonsome self. You can't get through that there War Department everything that has a Negroid taint to it, and Emmett has found it out. If he had got through everything he started, he would have secured so much potency that all he would have to say now would be: "Kaiser Bill, go chase yourself," and the war would be over. Talk about the impotency of Judge Terrell, Bill Houston and his bosom friend and playmate, Henry Slaughter, they ain't got no more impotency hung about them and on them than Emmett Scott when it comes to gettin' some things out of the War Department what he surmises is just the proper thing for fourteen million "blacks ever more" what infest this country in segregated spots. But you have to hand it to the derelict from Tuskegee for bein' on the job twenty-four hours out of every day and night and tryin' to impress the War Department that his black and tan relatives are really some punkin'. There's a mighty few loud-lunged individuals around this bloomin' berg of fault-finding what really know what the suspect from Tuskegee is really tryin' hard to do. Most of us, after a few rebuffs, and a turnin' down of our recommendations, would have resigned the dolar-a-year job and repeated the his torical saying of old Vanderbilt. But if he had, he would just get more—l from the very people what had been givin' him hail, Columbi happy land, cause he didn't dilute the stream of fish. I received the followin' letter from a regular victim last week: "Sage of the Potomac: I sure compliment and congratulate you on givin' the colored restaurants. around this-wale of tears the count. The way they—that is some of them—up in the. Northwest overcharge, and give you about a three-cent postage stamp worth of service, is enough to start the Food Administration on a raid-in expedition. They charged me 65 Uncle Sam Needs Our Men. Let the "PORO SYSTEM" take care of you FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY PORO-SYSTEM ST. LOUIS, NU. cents the other day for a dinner at one of them up in the Northwest that was worth about umteen cents, and the service I got was enormously low. They even had a sign tacked up on the wall to indicate that they didn't propose to bother about service, which read: 'Go to the ice tank and draw your own water.' Give 'em the twice-over, old man.' And I received about forty other communications tellin' me not to let up on roastin' the bad service and the overcharges a fellow traveler gets at some of the squeeze print restaurants. I must agree with my correspondents, that about the only thing most of the "culled" restaurants around here know is to charge. They put that into operation before they start the fire in the range in the mornin'. If you happen to go for a breakfast before 8:30 in the mornin' you are sure to find that the dirt on the floor of the day before ain't been swept up, and the fly-fertilizer on the cups and plates ain't been wiped off. I understand a committee composed of otherwise dignified and respected-citizens have drawn up a protest to be filed with the District Commissioners and with the Food Administration askin' that the same vigorous campaign made by the police against bootleggers be enforced against some of the Negroid restaurants what give you overcharges without service. You would be surprised, they say, at the naines of the people what signed the petition. At the last meetin' it was voted to ask Judge Terrell to present the petition, providin' it contained all the facts. The entire Negroid Bar Association will be retained, on promise of a trip to Baltimore as a retainer fee, to prosecute the offenders against reasonable charge and service. "On with the dance," gentlemen, "and let joy be unconfined," when fellow-sufferers meet to rausmit some of these alleged hash resorts. I'm with you until my family returns from the country. John Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, who first poked his nose into bame by joinin' Coxey's army and blowin' into Washington with a pair of overhalls—no shoes—and an appetite, but nothin' to satisfy it with, is just as busy as a cat on a new tin roof tryin' to cover up somethin'. You see, John has started that new $100,000 apartment house of his at T and Thirteenth Street, and every minute of the day, when he ain't at the bank countin' the number of helpers who come in to deposit and the number of suspects who come in to draw money out, watchin' the workmen on that building. John Lewis never laid claims to bein' a handsome man—fact is, if the city was to offer so much as two bits as a prize for the handsomest man in town, and nobody but John entered the contest, he wouldn't get the prize. But when it comes to doin' handsome things in the way of business—in the way of promotin' somethin' that's really worth while—you have to remove your straw bungalow to this suspect what Coxey is responsible for inflictin' on this center of the universe. If some of the other spendthrifts around here what are hoardin' up their money in trips to Baltimore for the juice from corn, barley and hops and "sich" like, would only just meet John Lewis' efforts half way this old berg would show its heels to the rest of the squeeze prints in other cities. But everybody mos around here belongs to the Consumers' League and is a battin' 500 and fieldin' 1000 in that league. Just few, like John Lewis, belong to an are playin' in the Producers' League and even they are bein' roasted every day by the bleacherites and grand stand managers. Some day, when the wind is blowin' in the right direction, when every one of these fellows what's playin' in the Producers' League go to the bat, they are all goin' to hit the horsehide for four bases, and beat the charley-herse players in the Consumers' League 100 to nothin'. If Congress passes a new draft law, extendin' the age limit to forty, it will come pretty near breakin' up the Consumers' League. Let's hope it will. Not Allowed to Give Dainties to Wounded Soldiers—Well Known Colored Citizens Refused Ad- Headed by that very well known citizen, Madame Mary M. Smith, accompanied by Misses Marie Wade, Annie Powell and Adams, July 21st ultimo, went to Walter Reed Hospital with baskets and boxes of dainties for the wounded soldiers, which they intended to distribute to those brave wounded soldiers who had been brought there in a helpless condition, and who would have welcomed them and the dainties they had so carefully selected for the boys from "over there." Madame Smith said to the officer in charge, a white man, that she and her assistants wanted to visit the convalescent patients. His excuse was that only THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE MADAME MARY M. SMITH. near relatives or those closely connected with the soldiers would be granted permission to visit the soldiers. Not being satisfied with such refusal, she and the other ladies took a strife through the grounds, and by chance met a colored soldier, to whom they related their story. This young convalescent invited the ladies to follow him, which they did, and escorted the company into the convalescent and other ward of the hospital, where they saw a number of soldiers in a helpless condition, to whom they distributed the many good things they brought with them for the boys who had returned to this country. The Bee has referred this circumstance to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, assistant to the Secretary of War, who will no doubt see that colored Americans will be permitted to see their convalescent soldiers. The Bee is confident that Secretary of War Baker and Mr. Scott will remedy the evil. Washington, D. C. Open Day and Night Livery and Chapel JOHN T.

Men Who Are Now Running Canal at Time When Its Importance in Winning War Is Vital and Imperative. Christobal, C. Z.—It may safely be said that nowhere else in the world except in the Canal Zone could have developed a great pastureage area out of primeval jungle and put the cattle on it to support a population of 150,000 people with beef and milk in a year's time. But this is what the men who dug the canal and had it running ahead of schedule time have done. War's threat of famine has no terror for them. It is also literally true that this industrial feat has been accomplished by the real ditch diggers, the men who were the rank and title of a few years ago, but who are now running the canal at a time when its importance in winning the war is so vital and imperative. The gunpowder material for the allies passes through the canal, and it may win the war before the great atmospheric nitrogen plants get into operation in the United States. Economical Independence. To make the force of men engaged in the maintenance, operation and defense of the canal economically independent of outside sources of food supply to the greatest possible extent, has become the fixed policy here, and the progress of the war daily vindicates its wisdom. There are hundreds of thousands of idle acres near the canal and hundreds of thousands of idle or comparatively idle men in adjoining countries, and the use of both these unemployed assets is self-evidently desirable. Pineapples and sugar from Hawaii constantly pass the canal, when cane and pines both grow freely and luxuriantly here; oranges are imported from California and Florida; even fish from Europe sometimes, when Panama's waters abound in excellent red snapper and Spanish mackerel. It is a curious comment on industry that this situation should have existed here for 400 years, but at last it is being remedied. To Whom Credit Is Due. The main active agent in this work is the chief quartermaster of the canal, R. K. Morris, who is one of the "boys who grew up on the canal." He began as a clerk at a little over twenty years of age, some 14 years ago, and has now become the Hoover of the zone and perhaps the biggest agriculturist in Latin-America. Mr. Morris has taken up the work with intelligent enthusiasm, studied it from many angles, got a corps of practical experts, and is bidding fair to solve some of the most important and difficult problems that have ever confronted tropical pioneers. He is in line to do with tropical agriculture what General Gorgas did with tropical sanitation. The time is very propitious and the results will be well worth watching. One-Eyed Man in Draft Camp Lee, Va.—Peg-legged men and men wearing crutches have been sent to this camp, but it remained for a North Carolina board to send a draftee who had but one eye. DEPTH CHARGES EFFECTIVE Narratives From Reliable Sources Refute German Assertion of Ineffectiveness. London. — Interesting narratives from reliable sources refute the German assertion regarding the alleged ineffectiveness of depth charges and other methods of destroying submarines. On a bright moonlight night a British patrol boat observed a submarine half a mile distant, apparently recharging. The captain immediately ordered full speed in the direction of the U-boat, with the object of running her before she was able to submerge. The U-boat succeeded in submerging, but the patrol boat came up and dropped six, depth charges and then fired a shell at the center of the visible disturbance. Large quantities of oil came to the surface and cries for help were heard. Only one survivor was found. A British submarine recently rammed an enemy submarine. The British boat cut through the enemy's plates and remained imbedded. Both endeavored to extricate themselves. The enemy, through using his ballast tanks, almost came to the surface, bringing the British submarine along. Then the German drew away in great difficulty, apparently frantically endevouring to keep afloat, but subsequently sank. RUSH FOR BRITISH GUARDS All Classes of English People Eagen to Enlist in Crack Regiments. London.—The glamour of the Guards has appealed to men of all classes of society, and a vacancy in these regiments either of commission or in the ranks seldom needed hours to fill. At present these regiments are open to recruiting, with the result that there is a positive rush among young men to enlist. The hundreds of young miners who have been released under the combing out order, especially men from the northern districts, are coming to London for the purpose of enlisting in these crack regiments, and the recruiting authorities are working night and day. The men are all of splendid physique and show by their action that they have not got over the good old-fashioned English dislike of waiting until they are fetched. The majority of the men are enlisting for the full army period of service and not for the duration of the war. VICTIM OF U-BOAT BELITTLES MENACE Spencertown, N. Y.—Joseph Satrale, radio operator on the President Lincoln, recently sunk by a German U-boat, survived the hardships of being adrift many hours only to come home here on furlough and be taken seriously ill, due to reaction. Satrale, with several shipmates, was adrift 18 hours before being picked up by an American destroyer. He says the U-boats will have no great effect on shipping as long as the American destroyers and chasers are turned loose. Every time a piece of floatwood appears on the water's surface there is a swarm of small boats making for it. Said Wire: Needed Shave. Milwaukee, Wis.—"He told me I needed a shave," was the plea of Mrs. Clara Nitz, aged fifty-four, who is suing her husband, Arthur R. Nitz, aged fifty-eight, for divorce. She alleges cruel and inhuman treatment. WAR GARDENERS RESPOND TO CALL Will "Keep the Food Coming" as General Pershing Has Asked. BIG INCREASE THIS YEAR Central West and Pacific Coast Espe cially Are Doing Well—National Commission Offers Prizes for Beat Home-Grown Canned Vegetables. Washington.—The war gardeners of the United States answered Pershing's call to "Keep the Food Coming." There are, according to figures being tabulated by the national war garden commission, 4,900,000 war gardens in the United States. These figures are incomplete and the estimates were made on reports received up to June 15. This number indicates an increase of 40 per cent over last year when there were 8,500,000 garden mutilion plants at work. Figuring in the increased cost this year over last, further estimates will be made by the commission both on the number of gardens and the estimated crop value. "Taking these early figures into consideration," said Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the commission, in making public the preliminary survey, "together with the increased canning demonstration work being done by the United States department of agriculture in cities and towns, we feel safe in saying the forecast of 1,500,000,000 quarts in tin and glass of canned stuff, made by the department, will be reached." Big Prizea Are Offered. The report points to the early planting season this year, which was made possible by weather generally favorable throughout the country. To encourage saving the garden crop the national war garden commission, which planted a 400-acre demonstration war garden at Camp Dix, N. J., is offering $10,000 in prizes for the best canned vegetables grown in war gardens, with the slogan "Back up the cannon" by use of the canner." In nearly every section of the country there has been an appreciable and encouraging increase in the number of war gardens this year, the commission announced. This has ranged anywhere from 10 to 60 per cent. In the Eastern portions there was a failure to note a gain on the early returns. "The greatest percentage of increase," the commission's statement adds, "was made in the Central Western states and Pacific coast, taking any one section of the country as a whole. There an awakening has taken place which revenued itself in an enthusiastic, widespread drive to help home food production. Of the total number of war gardens in the United States, the preliminary reports show that more than 2,000,000 of them—2,270,000, to be exact—were in the Central Western territory. There was a gain of fully 50 per cent over the war garden activity of last year. Eastern States Laggling. "The Eastern states, including New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, on the whole showed little increase over last year. In certain parts of all this territory there has been a better showing, and particularly has there been a greater activity among manufacturing concerns in providing land for their employees; but these gains have been counteracted to a certain extent by less activity in other places; so that the amount of food home-grown along the upper Atlantic coast this year will be slightly if any greater than last year. Better cultivation in hundreds of cases may make up for what is lacking in numbers. In New York the park department alone reports 2,000 war gardens 28 by 40. The total number of war gardens in this territory, as shown by the reports, is 848,000, of which 737,000 are in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. "The South has made an excellent record, certain states in particular having made notable gains. Including Texas and Oklahoma, there are a total of 1,248,000 war gardens in the Southern states this year, one-fourth of the number in the entire United States, California, Washington and Oregon show a total of 483,000 war gardens. That the war gardeners intend to save a great part of the garden crop is shown in the 200 entries received up to July 1 for the canning contests that garden clubs are organizing all over the country." REJECTED BY NAVY; DRAFTED Man is Accepted for Service in Army After Qualifying as Postman. Corvallis, Ore.—Ernest Chase, rural mail carrier, enlisted in the navy. After his final physical examination he was discharged as being physically unfit. Then he got a job as rural car- rier and invested $40 in a rig, horse and outfit. After working 20 days he was called in the military draft, passed by the local examining board, and ordered to camp. He doesn't know now whether to sell his rig and give up his job, or whether to take a "lay off" and trust to be rejected by the army as he was by the navy. ITALY LIKES BASEBALL Most Recent Victim of National Pastime Germ. Football Popular as Well as Diamond Sport—Favored by Military Leaders. New York—One of the curious effects of the war is the international interest which has been aroused in American sports. Italy apparently is the most recent victim of the baseball germ, according to Dr. Felice Ferrero, director of the Italian bureau of information in this city. Football, as played in America, as well as the national game of this country, also has taken hold of the popular interest in Italy. The Gazetta dello Sport, one of the most influential sport journals of that country, is raising a fund for the purchase of baseballs, bats and footballs and the distribution of prizes among the soldiers to stimulate competition. General Pennella, commander of the Second Italian army, in a letter to the Gazetta dello Sport, says that football and baseball games are of inestimable value in the training for war. He praises the initiative of the Gazetta dello Sport and says that he firmly believes that the stimulation of baseball and football competition among the various units of the Italian army will have the most gratifying and important results in maintaining the morale of the troops. General Pennella is especially pleased with baseball as an aid to training and the maintenance of the morale of the troops. THEY LOOK THE PART Lieutenant Postman & Stationmaster It seems peculiarly appropriate that these German soldiers should look like the swine they imitate in their methods of warfare, though perhaps, the porkery will object to the comparison. The type of gas mask used by the enemy gives them this repulsive swallow appearance that is topped off by the spiked German helmet. HE GOT THE RING FIRST Young Man Prepared for Wedding and Did Not Worry About the Cleveland, O.—Here's a young man who believes in the efficacy of preparedness. With his young wife he appeared recently before Frank M. Kenney, chief clerk of local board No. 7 at Central armory. "When did you buy the ring?" Mr. Kenney asked. There was some discrepancy between the answers of the bride and the bridegroom and the clerk pressed for an explanation. "Well, I'll tell you the truth," the man replied. "Some years ago I bought a watch on the installment plan and when it was paid for I thought the idea was a pretty good one. I figured to myself that some day I might want to get married, and thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to get the ring on the same plan." "You mean you got the ring and kept it in your pocket until the right girl happened along?" Mr. Kenney inquired. "That's just it, mister," the youth replied, unabashed. "This is the right girl, and we's just-got married." MAN TOO HEAVY FOR NAVY Recruiting Officer Says Uncle Sam Haan't Suit Big Enough for Kansas. Salina, Kan.—I want to fight," declared V. C. Emick, twenty-one, of Miltonvale, at the local naval recruiting office. A recruiting officer gave him the "once over," put him through a series of paces and then said: "There is nothing doing here. There isn't a sailor suit in Uncle Sam's navy that would fit you." Emick walked out of the office a disappointed man. He weighs 275 pounds and was recently registered under the new draft law.

GAMBLERS PREY UPON WOMEN AS HUSBANDS FIGHT American and Canadian Officers Visiting London Also Fleeced by Sharpers. International Coterie Using Private Houses for Games Operates Undisturbed—Tragedy of an Avila London—There is a man living in retirement in one of those fine, upstanding old Jacobaean, major houses, not fifty miles from London; a model country squire, popular with his tenants, a thoroughgoing sportsman, whorides to hounds most religiously and entertains on the most lavish scale. He can afford it. His annual income is somewhere in the $100,000 line. Yet before the war this particular man hadn't a penny to his name. The secret of his extraordinary success lay in quiet, sumptuously furnished back rooms in quiet, common-place houses in those somber streets that nestle in and around Mayfair. Chemin de fer, poker, faro, sometimes a roulette wheel, and the gilded idlers of old British aristocracy would be swarming round, like moths about a candle. They seem to have an intuitive sense for such places, these folk. Where the average man would pass by without comment, they nudge one's elbow and whisper, "That's old so-and-so's place, if ever you feel inclined for a quiet flutter"—that notorious "quiet flutter" signifying anything from a five-pound note to $500 or so. Among this select coterie are men and women of doubtful nationality, who make best use of their business for extracting information of their more highly connected clientele. This was proved in the case of a recent cold, where the woman proprietor was discovered to be an agent in German pay. Thus they attain a double object. Women Worse Than the Men. Women Worse Than the Men. But there is also another class who frequent these places. Manufacturers from provincial munition districts, flushed with their new-and easily won fortunes, and wishing to be in the social swim, run blindly into these well-baited taps. Perhaps their unpleasant experience gives them wisdom. They never repeat the performance. They belong to that eternal type which thinks it can beat the thief at his own game. They are gamblers for the same reason that drugtakers and diposantances are what they are. They can't help it. The women are worse even than the men. At least 60 per cent more of the other sex favor the green table. They take their gambling seriously—dead seriously. To them, is nothing of the sporting element of the affair; it is cathartic business of pay and receive. Once a woman is selzed with the gambling "bug" nothing on earth can hold her. It is the first step of the many great tragedies of life. Tragedy of an Avilator's Wife. Perhaps one of the most tragic instances of this nature was that of the wife of a commander in the British flying corps. Prior to the war he was a member of the stock exchange and they lived in a quiet village 80 miles from London. When he joined the colors they sold their home and the wife went to live in town—in a tiny flat in Knightsbridge. She was little more than a child, and a charmingly unsophisticated one at that, so fell easy victim to the gambler's wiles. They got hold of her through the maitre d'hotel of the restaurant she frequented—even the smartest mattres d'hotel and head watters are sometimes, though unwittingly, the instruments of the confederates, who go to the restaurants as part of their daily business to get at the lonely men and women with money who are to be discovered in every London hotel. One day a charming woman of distinguished appearance strolled over to her table with a polite request to share it with her. Consent was readily given, and they got into conversation. The welcome stranger sympathized with her lonelliness, and finished by inviting her to a dainty mansonette off Park lane. After dinner cards were produced. And the fleecing had begun. By the time her husband was able to get home on leave and rescue her the unhappy woman had been robbed of the best part of $20,000. Organized Like a Company. That is only one of the brilliant methods employed. This international gang—its agents cover every city and large town in the world—even in the enemy countries—is organized like a company, on a profit-sharing basis. There are trusted agents at every port, fashion center, and high-class health resort. It is the business of these agents to live in princely style, gradually worming their way into the confidence of the notables of the locality, giving full detailed reports of their movements and business transactions to a general headquarters. When a moneyed man or woman sets out from one country to another the agent at the port of embarkation wires full particulars of his—or her— business, available capital and intended period of visit to his confederate at the other end. The victim is shadowed and approached on the train, aboard the ship, even in hotels. Their organization is the acme of thoroughness. If necessary they will follow a man or woman round the world. Quite the smartest of their independent missions was that established in a sleepy old world village that hugs the banks of a quiet reach of the River Thames. The delightful scenery and the picturesque surroundings attract the most exclusive clientele. A family of the most delightful people are always there to welcome a stranger at all hours—a family of three, father, mother and beautiful daughter. And the plan of campaign is the simplest and oldest in the world. This particular stretch of water is extremely popular. Punts, canoes and motorboats go flashing up and down from early morning until well after dark. Half a mile up stream is situated the riverside annex of one of the most exclusive London clubs. Thitherward every afternoon and evening the beautiful daughter, attired in the most fetching costumes and in the daintest of dainty canoes, goes paddling. The younger members of the club are also fond of the river. There is a fleeting smile as they pass in midstream, and they very soon become acquainted. At first the malden appears inclined to be reserved. There are the proprieties to be observed. She is no fool. It is no use frightening your fish at the first bite. But toward the end of the flirtation she relents somewhat. Her mother is giving a small dance—"Nothing formal, you know; just amongst ourselves"—that evening. "If Mr.—eh—If Mr. Jones will drop in they will be delighted to see him." Mr. Jones goes. More often than not he takes a friend. They dance and are accorded the most hospitable reception. Mother is there, a charming, statuesque woman in flowing draperies. Father—they apologize profusely—is in a somewhat merry condition. That is obvious from the thickness of his accent and his halting gait. The visitors—in such delightful company—there are numerous pretty girls, unconscious of snares of the band—pass the matter off with a smile and a jest. But father is not quite so "mellow" as he would have them believe. At least there is nothing the least bit unsteady in that searching glance to which he treats them from beneath beetling brows. And the hand that pours out the drinks is hardly that of a drunkard. Soon They Are Fleeced. At last they grow tired of dancing. A friendly hand of bridge is suggested as an alternative. Only small stakes are allowed at the start. But as hand follows hand and drink follows drink they increase in value. Between 11 p. m. and 3 a. m. the host and hostess may make anything from $1,000 to $2,000 out of the gamble—a gamble for them, but no gamble for the unlucky army subaltern or the impecuous college youth. Once they have rid themselves of all their available loose cash they are courteously sent home, with a pressing invitation to return some other night for their revenge. They don't fall to accept the challenge. By the end of a week the whole of their capital may be in the box of their hosts. Young and fashionably dressed women are invariably the decays of the gambling fraternity. The game is played in the most respectable house and among most respectable people. That is the chief difficulty of bringing these criminals to book. Quite recently an American woman wrote to the editor of a London newspaper giving him particulars of one of these respectable entertainments. The address of the house was mentioned in the letter; also the time at which the game was commenced and the name of the proprietress of the place. This woman, said the American, had made $100,000 during the war. Many American officers had been decoyed to the place. One lost $2,100; another $1,500 and a Canadian $500 just before leaving for the battle front. Women decoys were allowed to put their losings "on the slate" up to $1,000 and take winnings in cash. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN NOW IN MARINES Kansas City, Mo—Benjamin Franklin has joined the marines, and the "immortal four" of the Kansas City marine recruiting office is now complete. The others are George Dewey, William Jennings Bryan and John Hopkins. Ben hailed from Dewey, Okla., where he has been "discovering" oil wells. He said he wanted to "discover" the way to Berlin. OTHERWISE HE WAS O. K. Army Doctors Find California Man's Internal Organs Have Transferred Places. Sacramento, Cal.—Army doctors put the stethoscope to Oree Calloway's left breast but couldn't hear his heart beat. Amazed at the silence, they instituted a search. It was located farther down on the right side, where the liver should have been. The liver and heart had transferred places, the stomach was out of place and the appendix on the left side instead of the right. affect to forget that she is the twenty-second nation to declare war, her trade is not so insignificant that it can be eliminated from the German calculations concerning world war trade after the war. The German general staff may not be thinking at all of Haiti, but the economic staff of the German Empire, which was formed for the purpose of taking care of trade after the war, is far from ignoring the little black republic of the West Indies. The unusual question which arises when a new country enters the war against Germany is raised in respect to Haiti. This relates to her status in the final peace negotiations. Having declared war, Haiti will expect to be consulted in regard to peace terms, and will be consulted at least in so far as they may concern Haiti. The fiscal protectorate of the United States does not affect her standing internationally. In the meantime the fact that she has formally declared war upon Germany is not to be ignored in the steady alignment of the nations of the world, big and little, against Germany. Haiti's declaration of war is a bit of strategy that merits more than a sneer and that "vacant laugh." Keep before you "Service and Sacrifice," but also remember REAL race grievances are not "selfish." White foreigners from Italy and Greece and Russia are getting rich on colored people in congested colored sections of the city. The Messenger is the newest publication of the race to appropriate for itself the descriptive term "magazine." It is an iconoclastic medium for the diarrhoea of words and constipation of ideas with which its editors are afflicted. Otherwise it is an interesting suggestion of a brief life. These colored politicians and constitutional office-holders and office-seekers who are pluming their wings for a flight into office should the Republican party be returned to power have overlooked that "our boys" who are at the front, offering their blood and lives for their people back home, while politicians are selfishly planning for restoration, must be considered, if they return. They are the ones who will deserve the honors and the emoluments coming to the race. There is no particular necessity for indulging in rapturous applause over what has been reluctantly given you under the necessity of compulsion. Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure, it is true, but all utterances of that immortal President previous to that memorable 22nd of September were earnestly in favor of freedom and rights for the colored race. His Emancipation Proclamation, therefore, while immediately, due to the war, was, after all, the promptings of a heart that felt for the oppressed race, and in harmony with his previous utterances. Bear this in mind, while bearing your palms of exultation today. THE WASHINGTON BEE Published by THE CHASE PUBLISHING COMPANY AT 1109 Eye Street N. W., Washington, D. C.

The constant turning down, for appointment, of colored applicants for clerical positions in the Departments at Washington, after they have, in open competition, won eligibility for place by successfully passing the Civil Service examination, raises the question, "Is the action of Bureau heads and appointment clerks, in defiance of the President's message, and in defiance of Secretary of War Baker's pronouncement for a square deal, the work of pro-Germans when they turn down for appointment eligible colored applicants merely because they are colored?" The Government at Washington is in urgent need of clerks. It is frantically calling for them, advertising for them in newspapers and on moving picture screens, even in colored newspapers and on colored movie screens, from the lakes to the gulf, yet when colored eligibles present themselves, properly certified, they are turned down, and only because they are colored, and that, too, in utter defiance of a Civil Service law that makes no reference whatever to color as a requisite or a disbarment. Last week a young colored woman was summoned to Washington by the Federal Trade Commission to take a clerical position for which she had been certified by the Civil Service Commission, after she had passed the examination with a high everage. On presenting herself, after incurring the expense of travel from a distant city, on written advice to come, she was turned down by the appointment clerk who summoned her. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. In his letter to her, this petty appointment clerk, not knowing, but evidently fearing she might be colored, suggested she call for a "conference," although there is nothing in the rules and regulations covering the classified service even suggesting that certified must incur the expense of railroad travel from distant cities for a "conference" before receiving appointment. The examination papers of the applicants certified are ALWAYS furnished the appointing office, and these clearly and specifically indicate the applicant's eligibility and ability. This summons, containing the word "conference," gave every assurance of appointment should the young woman present herself. 1,400 men and boys used the swimming pool during July. Think of 1,300 men and boys in the gym in July. We have something the fellows want and they come for it. Will you join them?

Parker, On returning home to her distant city this same young woman, the following day, received a telegram from another Bureau, the War Trade Bureau, asking what would be the lowest salary she would accept for a clerical position in Washington. She immediately wired back "$1,000 per annum." The same day, in reply to her wired answer, she received a telegram from the appointment clerk of the Bureau to report for duty August 1st, at $1,000 for permanent appointment, and to bring the telegram of instruction with her. This she did, and again, on discovering she was colored, she suffered the embarrassment, the injustice, of being sent from room to room to receive the cruel advice of division chiefs that they WOULD NOT take her because she was colored. Our noonday prayer service is increasing in interest and attendance. Mr. D. O. W. Holmes, chairman physical committee is at Harper's Ferry seeking bass and tennis. Each Tuesday evening after drill the Naval Reserve boys march to the Y. M. C. A. building and go immediately to the swimming pool. One fellow said, "I didn't know that there was a place in the city where I could have such a good time." Bureau heads and appointment clerks who persist in such base, damnable discrimination against the race—a race that has more than three hundred thousand men in the army, ready and willing to fight to their last drop of blood for their country, ARE INDISPUTABLY LENDING AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY. How long is this rank discrimination—this BASE INJUSTICE—to continue? How long are these pro-Germanists to be allowed to ignore the spirit of the President's message to the people? How long, in defiance of Secretary of War Baker's pronouncement for a square deal, are such as lend aid and comfort to the enemy to continue drawing salaries from the Government? Mr. J. P. Quander's class in fencing meets on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 7:30 o'clock. The exercise is great. Some men are in the class to take off the extra "bay window," and others are in it to take it on. We have been asked for every ounce of our patriotism, service and sacrifice. We are giving it, and with a patience in the face of base discrimination that challenges admiration. Why should not some of these Negrophiobists who are drawing salaries from the Government be made to give every ounce of THEIR patriotism, service and sacrifice as well, or yield their positions to 100-per-cent patriots?

When little Haiti declared war against Germany, there were those who laughed or sneered, and asked, "What ice can Haiti cut in such a big pond?" But let us reflect. The Haitian commerce is one of the economic factors which concerns Germany after the war. It is true that Haiti did not furnish raw material, such as copper and iron ore, but her tropical products afforded business to the German steamship lines and also assured return cargoes of German merchandise.

No. 4- Mistaking the Question. Last week I gave an example of mistaking the question, or missing the main point, when I exposed that popular fallacy in the old maxim "Say nothing of the dead but good." There are numerous maxims, hoary with age, that are simply popular fallacies, popcock. Many of them fall under the above head, the generic name of which is ignoratio elenchi, or irrelevant conclusion. It is a fallacy resulting from an improper premise or premises. Among the varieties are: Ignorance of the question, willful mistake of the question, combination with begging the question, appeal to the passions, shifting ground, partial objections, unfair representation. It is common to characterize the most of these by the phrase "set up a man of straw." Perhaps the most pestiferous of all the fallacies is the "ignoratio." It is as often feigned as real. A book could be written with profit on the subject. It is the ever-present bane of conversations and arguments, and the source of most quarrels and lights. It is the favorite tool for insidious insult. It is usually "low-down," opposed to courtesy, generosity, nobility. It has been said of Garfield that he was singularly free of this fault in debate. He endeavored to state or assume the position of his adversary fairly. To confute an adversary without falling/into this fallacy, an observance of the four "rules of contradiction" is absolutely necessary, for square contradiction is the essence of an argument on any point. Four things are required to make a contradiction, namely: to speak of the same thing (1) in the same sense, (2) in the same respect, (3) with regard to the same thing, (4) at the same time. Some time ago I called attention to the diagram in the big dictionary explaining "opposition" and showing graphically the relations of contradictory points. A and O and E and I in that diagram are contradictories. If your opponent takes A, you must take O; if he takes E, you must take I, and vice versa. If you are wide of the mark in this, you are beating the air, beating about the bush. It is regrettable that this fallacy is so often something worse than a real ignorance of the question or point. Your adversary, finding it impossible to confute you on the exact line of contradiction, his plan is, first, to get off that line; second, to assume one like it; third, to conceal this from you and others. And having dressed up his man of straw in clothes and a likeness which he calls yours, he cudgels you about in effigy, whilst he, in common with other Quixotes, triumphs in what he supposes to be valorous deeds. In some respects there is a similarity between "mistaking the question" and "begging the question." of which latter more later. Begging the question is improperly to assume a premise and by it come to a point that ought to be proved. Mistaking the question is a mistake of the conclusion in which alone it was contemplated; and therefore assumes the premises, wide of the mark, without observing the rules of contradiction, to establish what is irrelevant, charging the consequences to the opponent. To this species of fallacy Aristotle refers everything that is "foreign to the affair," or question in debate. The old Stagirite would probably enjoy the lines in the modern song— "The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la." Have nothing to do with the case." Have nothing to do with the case." Walker Thompson and Sidney Kirkpatrick Win New Laurels. The sporting element may find something to arouse them, and the sentimentally inclined may also be entertained at the Howard Theatre this week, where "His Last Dollar" is being presented. The story is not of so much importance as to require recounting. It is laid partly amid scenes surrounding a racetrack, with a crooked promoter and his female confederate pitted against a good old Kentuckian and a good woman. The ex-jockey rides for the duped woman and wins the race and her hand in marriage. Walker Thompson plays the role of the Kentuckian with commendable faithfulness and brings rounds of cheers when he rides a "real live" horse to what is represented as a winning race. This act is quite exciting and gives a touch of the real thing. Kirkpatrick plays the promoter in good taste, giving the character all the looks and actions expected of such characters. Miss Ellis won many rounds of applause for her work, although there is not the depth of feeling evidenced in some of the parts she has had. Miss Boorman makes her part stand out as prominently as the situation demands. Her work is always of the finished kind. Flyman as the Hebrew character was very good. Scott and Carter were very funny. Misses Gilmore and Blueford were very chic and with the others of the cast made a very creditable showing. As a change it is very diverting and seemingly enjoyed by the audiences who braved the various kinds of weather. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. Pastor and Congregation of the Methodist Episcopal Church: As I am a member of the Red Cross I feel it my patriotic and Christian duty to relate this incident to the church which occurred last week, hoping it will awaken our race to their patriotic sense of duty—not only their patriotic duty, but that deep, material love which each woman should have for our colored boys who are fighting to maintain our freedom. One day last week I was in a certain store purchasing some goods when a white soldier came in at the time, who had just left Walter Reed Hospital. He seemed very friendly and began talking, making special mention of a colored soldier who had fought in the front line trenches, and is now in Walter Reed Hospital with both legs blown off by a shell. After speaking of this soldier he began to make comparison between the white and colored visitors; the white people seem to be devoted to their boys, and every opportunity they have they make use of it and visit their boys, while the colored people seem not to bother. The colored soldiers seem to be so melancholy when visitors come and they do not see any colored friends. If the colored people would only get in a body and visit our boys, leaving them a cheering word or give them flowers, it would add a ray of sunshine to their lives. The white soldier appealed to me to tell the various churches so that colored women would bestir themselves and go visit oud colored soldiers and leave them a word of consolation. I hope the pastor will make special mention of these brief but important remarks. If a white soldier is interested in our colored boys, we should be more than proud of them and make willing sacrifice for them, as they have made a great sacrifice for us. Now is the appointed time, when we should give flowers of kindness, while they are living and can enjoy them. Gets a Setback—Keen Disappointment Over a Broken Promise. New York, Aug. 5.—It is reported here that the program, suggested by the colored newspaper men at their recent conference in Washington, and which included the assignment of a representative race man in the Intelligence Bureau, has been abandoned by the powers that be. This is interpreted here to mean that the alleged tender of a captaincy, with assignment to the Intelligence Bureau, to Dr. DuBois is off. No reason has reached here as to the abandoning of the remainder of the program, asked by colored newspaper men, urged by Emmett J. Scott, and tacitly promised by George Creel, head of the Information Bureau. It is generally believed here that the abandonment of the program begun, and recommended, is a keen disappointment to Mr. Scott, who had urged it, and entertained high hopes that it would go through in its entirety. C. W. Cordin Prevented From Delivering "Four-Minute Message" From President Wilson. If this country loses the war, it Keep Your Hair In Fine Condition Smooth and Glossy by using Howard's Hair Pomade For Sale at All the Peoples Drug Stores will be on account of the rank race prejudice of a group of short-sighted Americans. An incident occurred at the Soldiers' Home on the Fourth of July which shows how prejudice is destroying the country and helping Germany. President Wilson sent out a special message to the Nation to be delivered by the four-minute men on the Fourth. C. W. Cordin (who has about one-eighth Negro blood) was appointed to speak in Dayton whenever he found a crowd of people gathered. He delivered the message three times at Island Park, at the Pease Street Playgrounds, and was attempting to deliver it at the Soldiers' Home when the Governor snatched the paper out of his hand and threatened to punish him, merely because he, a colored man, was speaking to white people. He did not take time to ascertain what the speech was on or that the message came directly from President Wilson. The attention of the War Department has been called to the incident. From the Dayton (Ohio) Farmer of July 12th. ONE FOND HOPE. By Ralph W. Tyler Hark! That's the band a-playing. The colored boys are off for camp, And mothers, fond, are praying: Home they will return safe again. Hark! The transport's three bells! The colored troops are off for France Today; how your bosom swells With pride for our boys brave and true. Hark! The victorious yell! Colored troops are "over the top," Fighting bravely—fighting well— Fighting for world democracy. We gave freely from slender purse; We gave cheerfully our loyal men; We now but one fond hope do nurse:— JUSTICE born on victory's wings. LOUISIANA HELPING. Slidell. La., July 31. A local branch of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee has been organized here, with I. H. Womble, president; V. C. Thornton, secretary, and H. B. F. Charles, treasurer. The greatest possible interest is being aroused here in raising funds for the national organization, and the local branch here has already sent on a substantial contribution. RED CROSS At Tuskegee Institute—Dr. Moton's Good Work. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 3. Perhaps the first and only Chapter of the Red Cross among the colored people was organized at Tuskegee Institute this week. Dr. Moton, principal of the institute, received word some time ago that the Gulf Division of the Red Cross had received authority to establish the Chapter at Tuskegee Institute. A preliminary meeting was held on Tuesday evening at Principal Motion's residence, and the following officers were elected: Dr. R. R. Moton, chairman; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, vice-chairman; Mr. Warren Logan, treasurer; Mrs. B. B. Walcott, secretary, and Mr. Charles H. Gibson, chairman of the finance committee. PARAGRAPHIC NOTES. Mr. Emmett J. Scott is urging the appointment of colored physicians for the army. Colored nurses may now obtain positions in the army. There was a clause made for them a few weeks ago. * * * The Virginia State Legislature commends the work of colored women in the state. And it continues to operate Jim Crowism. Dr. J. A. Miller of Vicksburg, Miss., was tarred and feathered last week. Dr. D. D. Foot, dentist, and Dr. W. P. Harrison, druggist, were hunted, but could not be found. Miller was caught while visiting his patients, stripped to his waist, tarred and feathered, put in a car, drove around the city and carried to the court house and was viewed by two thousand people, and asked what he intended to do. He assured the mob that he would leave town. No cause has been assigned for this outrage. Madame Alice D. Carey has been appointed Brown University assistant labor directress. Rev. Charles Chance, a white preacher of Moultrie, Conn., 54 years of age, who was convicted for raping a 16 year old, colored girl, has been denied a new trial. He must now serve his full term. * * * Hardin Talbert has launched a new race paper in Cincinnati, Ohio. * * * Attorney J. Thomas Herwin of Richmond, Va., has been retained to prosecute the conductor who assaulted a 15 year old colored girl in Richmond, Va., because she refused to remove her seat. Colored barbers take the place of white ones at Camp Sherman, Ohio. Race riots and discriminations have shifted from the South and are making their way North. Prof. Kelly Miller would make an excellent president of Howard University. Colored men are passed for the army but not for the local police force. Why? GRAVES'.
