There was no objection. Mr. Gould—"I ask to have read the letter of Col. William Hayward, 369th United States Infantry." The Speaker—"The Clerk will read the letter." The Clerk read as follows: Mrs. Edna Johnson 12 Monroe Street Albany, N. Y. My Dear Mrs. Johnson: Your husband, Pyt. Henry Johnson, is in my regiment, the 360th U. S. Infantry, formerly the 15th New York Infantry. He has been at all times a good soldier and is a good boy, of fine morals and upright character. To these admirable traits he has lately added the most convincing proof of fine courage and splendid fighting ability. My Dear Mrs. Johnson: Your husb regiment, the 360th U. S. Infantry, for He has been at all times a good soldie and upright character. To these admi most convincing proof of line courage a I regret to say that he is at the mon I regret to say that he is at the moment in a hospital, seriously, but not dangerously, wounded, the wounds having been received under such circumstances that everyone of us in the regiment would be pleased and proud to trade places with him. It was as follows: He and Pvt. Needham Roberts were on guard together at a small outpost of a front-line trench near to the German lines, and during the night a strong raiding party of Germans, numbering from twelve to twenty (judging by the weapons, clothing and paraphernalia they left behind and by their footprints), took access No-Man's Land, and made a surprise attack in the dead night on our two brave soldiers. We had learned some time ago from captured German prisoners that the Germans had heard of a regiment of black Americans in this sector, and the German officers had told their men how easy to combat and capture them it would be: so this raiding party came looking for the black Americans. They did not find them asleep, however, but, on the contrary, both Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts were very much awake and alert and attending strictly to their duties. At the beginning of the attack the Germans fired a volley of bullets and grenades, and both the boys were wounded, your husband three times and Roberts twice. Then the Germans rushed the post, expecting to make an easy capture. In spite of their wounds, the two boys waited coolly and courageously, and when the Germans were within striking distance opened fire, your husband with his rifle and Pvt. Roberts, from his helpless position on the ground, with hand grenades. The German raiding party came on in spite of their wounded, and in a few seconds our boys were at grips with the terrible foe in a desperate hand-to-hand encounter, in which the enemy outnumbered them ten to one. The boys inflicted great loss on the enemy, but Roberts was overpowered and about to be carried away, when your husband, who had used up all the cartridges in the magazine of his rifle and had knocked one German down with the butt end of it, drew his bolo from his belt. The bolo is a short, heavy weapon carried by the American soldier, with the edge of a razor, the weight of a cleaver, and the point of a butcher knife. He rushed to the rescue of his fallen comrade, and, fighting desperately, split open, with his bolo, the head of the German who was throttling Pvt. Roberts, and turning to the boche who had Roberts by the feet, plunged the bolo into the German's bowels. This one was the leader of the German party, and on receiving what must have been his mortal wound, exclaimed in American English, without any trace of accent. "Oh, the son of a — got me," thus proving that he was undoubtedly one of the so-called German-Americans who came to our country not to, become a good citizen of it, but to partake of its plenty and bounty and then return to fight for the Kaiser and help enslave the world. He was doubtless selected as the leader of the party to speak English and perhaps fool my soldiers by calling to them in the darkness in English not to fire, that it was a friend. Henry laid about him right and left with his heavy knife, and Roberts, released from the grasp of the scoundrels, began again throwing hand grenades and exploding them in their midst, and the Germans, doubtless thinking it was a host instead of two brave colored boys fighting like tigers at bay, picked up their dead and wounded and slunk away, leaving many weapons and parts of their torn, cut, and shot-riddled clothing, and leaving a trail of blood which we followed at dawn clear to their lines. "We feel certain that one of the enemy was killed by rifle fire, two by your husband's bolo, one by grenades thrown by Pvt. Roberts, and several others grievously wounded. So it was in this way the Germans found the black Americans! Both boys have received the citation of the French general, commanding the splendid French division in which my regiment is now serving, and will receive the Croix de Guerre (Cross of War). The citation, translated, is as follows: The general commanding D. I. mentions in orders of the division the soldiers of the 369th Regiment d'Infanterie, United States.

Good and brave soldier. The general requested that the citation of the division commander of the army be attached to a citation in the orders of the army. soldier, Johnson, be changed to a citation. Some time ago the great French general, Gouraud, placed in my hands the sum of one hundred francs, to be sent to the family of the first one of my soldiers wounded in a fight with the enemy under heroic circumstances, fnasmuch, as these boys were wounded simultaneously and both displayed great heroism, I think it but fair to send to each one half of this sum. Accordingly I am inclosing New York exchange for the equivalent of fifty francs. I am sure that you have made a splendid contribution to the cause of liberty by giving your husband to your country, and it is my hope and prayer to bring him back to you safe and sound, together with as many of his comrades, as it is humanly possible by care and caution to conserve and bring back to America. But it must be borne in mind that we cannot all come back; that none of us can come back until this job is done. Odd Fellows' Journal—Vote to Discontinue Its Publication. New York City, 9.

British and French Missions Sought Their Help From the United States. "There are 250,000 colored troops in the United States Army at the present time," Mr. Thomas L. Jones of Washington, D. C., stated yesterday. Mr. Jones, who is a practicing attorney in the Supreme Court of the United States, is visiting Mr. W. F. Seave, president of the Colored Federation Council. "We have 100,000 colored troops in the actual fighting zone in France at the present time, and they are to be found throughout the various cantinements in the United States," stated Mr. Jones. "At Camp Meade alone there are 30,000 colored troops." Mr. Jones stated that when the French and British Missions visited the United States they made a special request that colored troops be sent to France. "They make the very best of lighting troops," he said. "We fully believe that those who go to light the battle of freedom and represent the 15,000,000 colored people of the United States will maintain the record for bravery and heroism which they have always displayed in any engagements in which they have participated in the past." At the present time 4,000 of Canada's colored population of 47,000 are in arms.—From the Daily Globe, Toronto, Canada, August 28. PATRIOTIC MEETING AT THE HOWARD THEATER. At a largely attended patriotic meeting of colored people, held last Thursday morning in Andrew Rankin Cliapel at Howard University, Mrs. Newton D. Baker, wife of the Secretary of War, rendered several vocal selections; each of which was heartily applauded. Mrs. Baker was presented to the great audience by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute, and now serving in Washington as special assistant to the Secretary of War, in charge of affairs relating to colored people in connection with the war. At Howard University there are two detachments of colored soldiers taking special training in military science and tactics. One is the special vocational training detachment, numbering about three hundred or more, receiving instruction in technical and mechanical branches under the direction of Capti Beasley; the second group, about four hundred strong, is the Student Army Reserve Corps, selected from the various colored schools of the country to prepare to be instructors of student army units in their respective schools when they have concluded the prescribed course here. This group is under the supervision of Lieut. Russell Smith. As a compliment to Mrs. Baker, these student-soldiers sang for her a number of plantation melodies and folk-songs, all reminiscent of their homes in Dixieland, and as a further compliment, some of these songs were led in finished style by Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, successor to the late Booker T. Washington. Dr Moton had come on from New York to deliver an address to the soldiers at Howard University and interested citizens of Washington. Notable among the songs led by Dr. Moton and sung with fervor by the monster chorus, was "A Hymn of Freedom," by Natalie Curtis Bur- lin, a fine example of the "spirituals" that are now being introduced with marked success in the army camps throughout the country. The meeting at Howard was presided over by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones. JUDGE TERRELL. Columbus, Ohio, September 9. Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington spoke to a capacity house here last Thursday evening, and was greeted with rapturous applause. After the meeting he was tendered a banquet, and the following day lawyers of Columbus gave a luncheon in his honor. OLD AGE PENSIONS. With the advance of civilization the spirit of humaneness will become more and more conspicuous and noticeable in that improvement in the public care of the dependent aged through old age pensions will command favorable attention. While it is doubtless true that the near relatives of all the helpless aged should by some legal process be compelled to provide protection and comfort, yet it is not true that thousands are deprived of such sources of assistance, and if the Federal Government does not befriend them suffering must inevitably ensue. To depend upon the charitably inclined is a capricious program that ought not to be tolerated. But to make assurance doubly sure, would it not be well that through the supervision of the county officials not only shall a home be provided the aged who are dependent, but an allowance sufficient to furnish a fair measure of independence and pleasure ought to be granted as a pension. Such a grant of money sufficient to meet a few incidental expenses will prove a valuable contribution to the case and the comfort of the thousands in our land who because of their helpless condition should not appeal in vain to the more fortunate. And then let not the terms "Poor Farm" or "Home for the Aged" or terms of a similar import be applied to institutions for such relief. There are harsh and invidious distinctions enough without governmental life aiding such a course. There are terms expressive of Christian philanthropy without reference to poverty or age that may more wisely be used. If governments exist for anything, they exist for the protection of its citizens in time of peace as well as war, and if patriotism is to be fostered, such protection must be extended through all periods and to all classes. Protection and patriotism are not far apart. They follow each other in a natural, easy succession. And the kind and degree of protection will doubtless insure a patriotism of a similar kind and degree. One of the large assets in national life in time of peace or war is the care of the helpless, dependent aged. E. H. Parkinson, D. D. Los Angeles, Cal.

Odd Fellows Meet—Ben Davis Out-generaled. New York, N. Y., September 10.—The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, at its 19th biennial meeting, which convened in Odd Fellows Temple, Fifth Avenue and 132rd Street, yesterday, made quick work of its business and adjourned after electing officers and passing resolutions pledging the support of its 500,000 members throughout the country to the nation's war program against Germany. More than 5,000 members of the order are now in the military and naval forces of the United States. The business of the organization was speeded up to adjournment in order, that the delegates might return to their homes in various parts of the country to do their bit as war workers and in time to register on the 12th instant. All of the grand officers were reelected and will serve until the next biennial meeting, which the delegates voted to hold in this city in September, 1920. The National Grand Officers are: Edward H. Morris, Chicago, grand master; Dr. I. L. Roberts, Boston, Mass.; deputy grand master; James F. Needham, Philadelphia, Pa., grand secretary; W. David Brown, New York City, grand treasurer, and five grand directors, B. V. Baranco, Baton Rouge, La.; J. H. Johnson, Salisbury, N. C.; George H. Mays, Jacksonville, Fla.; Jesse L. Nicholas, Baltimore, Md.; A. T. Shirley, Herndon, Va. James M. Miller of Newark, N. J., and Dr. C. C. Johnson of Aiken, S. C., were elected grand auditors. U. S. TRAINING DETACHMENT AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VIRGINIA. Hampton, Va., Sept. 8.—Private William K. Smith, professionally known as the Great Hellman, entertains soldiers under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at the "Y" Building. The three Smith brothers are well known in Washington, having entertained at various churches, clubs, Y. M. C. A.'s and vaudevilles. Private Smith's performance was a decided success. His recitations were a scream, the magic tricks being a new source of entertainment for the soldiers, and caused constant applause. He closed his part of the program with his original sensation, the "Spirit Rose," which is Private Smith's masterpiece. He held his audience spellbound for a period of five minutes. Private Smith takes exceptional delight in assisting Secretary Simmons of the Y. M. C. A. to entertain the soldiers at every available opportunity, striving always to have some new stunts for each show. There are about three hundred soldiers here at Hampton Institute. most of them from Washington. They are a happy bunch, full of fun and good cheer. "Happy" Lancaster is here with his dog Kypo, and he is some happy. He gets a laugh at every word. Every soldier in camp enjoys the personal acquaintance of "Happy." DR. TURNER RETURNS. Dr. John P. Turner has returned from Philadelphia, where he has been the guest of his brother, Mr. David M. Turner, formerly of this city. While there Dr. Turner, as the guest of his brother, visited Sea Isle City. Ocean City and Atlantic City, N. J. where they were in attendance at the sessions of the Business League. The Doctor, on his return, was greatly shocked by the sad news of the passing of his friend, Past Grand Master Lemuel C. Bailey.

WAR GARDENERS RESPOND TO CALL Will "Keep the Food Coming" as General Pershing Has Asked. BIG INCREASE THIS YEAR Central West and Pacific Coast Especially Are Doing Well-National Commission Offers Prizes for Best 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 3,500,000 garden munition 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 conservation," 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 Prizes 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 const. taking only one section of the country as a whole. There an awakening has taken place which revealed 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. Lagging. "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 kind 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 homes 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 26 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 1,246,000 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 463,000 war gardens. That the war gardens intend to save a great part of the garden crop is shown in the 200 entries received up to July 1 for the coming 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. Corvaillis, 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 carrier 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 being rejected by the army as he was by the navy. © HARRIS & EWING Mrs. Elizabeth P. Stark, sister of Hoffman Phillip, newly appointed minister of Colombia, is captain of a mounted girl scout troop in Mayport, Fla., whose duty is to patrol the coast east of Florida to turn up pro-German activities. All the girls carry rifles or automatics, and are proficient in their use. The scouts are from thirteen to sixteen years old, and do night work without a qualm. LET'S HOLD THE LINE By Norreys Jephson O'Connor of the Vigilantes. We hold the line which stretches far, From western towns to fields of France. Where now our brave battalions are, Fighting to stop the Hun's advance. We must not fall them in their need, We who, in factory or field. Are soldiers, too; we may not bleed; Should we, then, find excuse to yield. Because we pass in dreariness Our days, or in the summer sun Are hot, and worn with weariness? If our line breaks, the foe has won. If we heed enemy alarms. Vain is the general's vast design, And vain the soldier's deed of arms. In freedom's name, let's hold the line. FORETOLD WAR WITH HUNS Russian Consul at Boston Fourteen Years, Ago Prophesied Great Conflict. Boston.—Fourteen years ago Joseph A. Conry. Russian consul, prophesied there would be a war with Germany. This was made in an address Mr. Conry delivered at the annual meeting of the Ninth Regiment Veterans' association in G. A. R. hall in this city, April 6, 1904. Excerpts from his speech follow: "There will be a war in this country as sure as time files. With England? No, because our commercial interests are too intimate. Not with France, because she is diminishing. We have had it with Spain. "But it will be with the empire of Germany. We have no desire for war, but if it should come, we need a volunteer militia made up of 500,000 men to back up our standing army." HAS GEN. WASHINGTON'S FLAG New York Woman Owns Banner Presented to Volunteer Company by the General. New York.—One of the oldest flags in this city and which is interesting from the fact that it was presented by George Washington to the second company of Washington volunteers is owned by Mrs. Margaret D. Early of the Hotel Walton. It has been in possession of her family nearly forty years, having been won by her father, Thomas Dooley, an old New Yorker, in a raffle at a fair held in 1870 to raise fund for the Paulist church at Columbus avenue and Sixteenth street, then in course of erection. The flag was given to the managers of the fair to be sold for the benefit of the church. WALKS 650 MILES FQR DRAFT Washington Man Tramps 51 Days to Keep Promise to United States Government. Aberdeen, Wash.—After a trump of 650 miles, taking 51 days, Elmer Hemrich is here to fulfill his promise to the government to be ready for the second draft call. He was allowed to go to Alaska to establish a cannery on the promise that he would return in time for the second call for men to the colors. He was forced to "mush" over the trail from Inner, Skin Bay to Seward, Alaska, and drag his sled with him. He lost 35 pounds in weight and was compelled to exist on clams and porcupine meat for part of the trip. Ship Coal by Water. Memphis, Tennessee. Heavy shipments of coal from the Kentucky fields are being made by water on the Mississippi river. A single steambont recently towed 15 barges containing 9,000 tons of coal from Caseyville, Ky., to Memphis. It would have required three or four trains to have hauled this consignment by rail. BROTHERS OVER THERE, GIRL TWINS WANT TO GO New York.—Lucille and Genevieve Baker, nineteen-year-old twining, of Brooklyn, are not satisfied with having two brothers "over there." They presented themselves at the barge office with the request that they be enlisted in the coast guard. Lleut. L. C. Farwell explained that they were not using women to guard piers and warehouses just yet. But, the twins refused to consider themselves formally rejected until similar assurances had been given by Captain Carden, commanding officer. They left the office disappointed, but hopeful of going to France as government telephone operators or stenographers. Respond to Call to Assist in Getting Men and Women for Government Service. Washington.—The examiners of the civilian personnel section of the ordinance department of the United States army have asked the co-operation of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and of each of the state federations, in their endeavor to secure the best qualified men and women for the government service. To this call the civil service reform department of the general federation, of which Mrs. F. H. Cole, University of Quahua, Omaha, Neb., is chairman, has responded by special circular letter calling attention to the need for loyalty in supplying this line of service to help win the war. There is a call for thousands of skilled employees, such as stenographers, typewriters, telegraphers, wireless operators, accountants, draftsmen, chemists and similar trained service. No one should apply for a position for which he or she has no special training. Many teachers are leaving their schools and applying for government positions, but it is urged that all teachers remain at their work, because teachers as a rule are fitted for cerical work only and not for specially trained expert service. The civilian personnel section has established offices in a number of cities throughout the country, and information with regard to these positions may be obtained from any of them. GIRL SCOUT DECORATED. In Memoriam Sir Bernard Ruth. Colman, a sixteen-year-old Washington high school girl, has been decorated by Mrs. Wilson with a golden eaglet, the highest honor awarded by the girl scout organization. Miss Colman is the third girl to receive this honor, the acquirement of 22 proficiency badges being necessary to earn the coveted golden eaglet. LEGALLY DEAD, THOUGH ALIVE Rules Judge in Decision Establishing Inheritance Tax on an Estate Valued at $86,148. Kankákee, Ill.—Although very much alive, and in good health four of the five children of the late Henry Kramer, wealthy Yellowhead township farmer, are legally dead. Judge J. H. Merrill has so ruled in a county court decision establishing the inheritance tax and Kramer's estate, valued at $86,148. Kramer left a will providing his widow receive a life estate in all his property. Upon her death the property should be equally distributed among the five children living. Should any of the children die before the mother the will provides their shares shall be equally divided among the remaining children and not the legal heirs of the deceased child. Therefore, under Judge Merrill's ruling, the four children will remain legally dead until the death of the mother. Lauder's Cousin Killed. Cunberland, Md.-John Lauder, forty-eight, a cousin of Harry Lauder, the Scotch comedian, was killed in the Tysom coal mine near here, where he was employed. He was caught under a fall of rock. 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 BURGESS BURGESS It seems peculiarly appropriate that these German soldiers should look like the swine they infiltrate 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 swinish 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 Girl. 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 Hasn't Suit Big Enough for Kansan. 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.

Shepard, the founder-and president of the National ‘Training School at Durham; N, C.,.has never courted “leddership.”. He has been content to give his best endeavors ‘for waking his school an effective instrument for racial good in its immediate zone. Although, like Dr. Booker T. Washington, he fotinded HIS school, nursed it to its present” effectiveness, he has not been jealous of any -eleventh-hour aspirant to’ national leadership who may have received his honors without earning them, as did the late Dr. Booker ‘T. Wash- ington, Emmett J. Scott, Dr. Edwards, et al... and as Dr. Shepard is doing. : 2 Dr. ‘Shepard’s plodding and plugging’:along, quietly. doing and achieving, deserves more than a passing noticé—deserves praise. His school, yet young, has achieved wonders, even though handi- “capped by lack of funds and an effective publicity, which sometimes is a misinterpreted luxury—if no funds be available for requiting. * .

Down in North Carolina—among the lowly of the race—ainong the aspiring and ambitious young of the’ race—the National Training School is doing a real service. : i , ul ‘The fact’that an ex-Confederate General, who fought four years through the Civil War to maintain slavery, and an ex-United States Senator, and present presiding Federal white judge, who. was born, and reared in the South, imbibing all the preconceived sentiments of his an- cestors relative to the colored race, should go out and appeal. for this school, not only testifies to the new light. now breaking in on the South, -but also to the fact that Janes E. Shepard and his National ‘Training School are doing ‘meritorious work—are awakening the South to a réalization that ignorant colored people within their midst is a menacing Kability, and educated colored people a beneficent asset. VALE VARDAMAN. Many of us who have witnessed O’Neil’s matchless playing of the role of the Abbe in “Monte Cristo” will recall what a thrill of siete tion possessed us when he ‘held up first his.index finger, then his second and third, and tragically. pronounced ‘the words, “One!” “Two!” and “Threel” as indicating that.such number of his implacable foes, un- scrupulous defamers and oppressors had heen rendered hors: de combat —had bit the dust of despair and of death. . When the good Lord gathered to his maker the late Senator Till- shan, ‘who used his influence, power and prestige to oppress.a race that " had_never did himi a single injury, and which had been struggling only ‘for a place in the sun, which the Constitution vouchsafed it, we, like the Abbe.‘in “Monte Cristo,” uttered that one word, “ONE!” indicating that one of our foe had reached the limit of his opposition to us. - ‘When the news came from Mississippi that Senator Vardaman, the long-haired, braying ass from -that State, due to President Wilson’s open pronouncement against his return to the United: States Senate, had been overwhelmingly defeated, we, again, like the Abbe in“ “Monte Cristo,” held up our.second finger, and with genuine satisfaction, meas- | uredly, said “TWO!” to indicate that another one of our implacable’ foes -had bitten the dust of defeat. . . . | Now, who will be the third? Will it be Hoke Smith, Heflin, or one of a.dozen others, who,.with perhaps not so mutch vitrioli¢ enmity, | have constantly opposed. our advancement, although enjoying repre- 2 sentation in Congress because.of unconstitutionally denying us the right of franchise ?. 3 . fe : . No matter which one, we aré waiting, and hoping. for the oppor- tunity-to say, while holding up our third finger significantly, “THREE!” Vardaman—we hesitate to call him “Senator” Vardaman, for at ‘no time did he rise to the true height of a Senator—came to the United States Senate with ‘but one hobby, deriouncing the colored race. “He! rode that hobby, and to a fall,- during his entire term as Senator. He earned, and by right, the hope, in the race, that his days in the Senate, even if not “in the land. thy God giveth thee,” might be short, and he earned, and by right, the disrespect of his colleagues in the Senate. - | .

We are roaming in the seventh heaven of delight when we ecstatically say “VALE VARDAMAN.”. - Ss “INCHIN’ ALONG.” : 16se who recall when, at revival meetin uberance and’ with a simple but absolute Ws worshipers were wont’..to sing th * There are those who recall when, at revival meetings, and camp meetings, in exuberance and with a simple but absolute faith in:God, | colored religious worshipers were wont..to sing that old song, “Inchin’ Along.”. These will recall how the chorus tang out:.“We'er inchin’ along’; goin’ to get to Heaven bye and bye.”. 2s In commuting the death sentence for ten of the unfortunate col- ored soldiers alleged to have partitipated in the Houston (Texas) riot to life imprisonment, President Wilson said: * I desire’ the clemency here ordered to ‘be a recognition of the spléndid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong, and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service to.the country of which they are citizens and for the fiberty of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of zreat fields of battle. To have a President of the United States, whonr many of the race had feared did not’ consider the race ‘in the equation, and who had but once, and that but recently, given evidence he considered our'race part and:parcel of this “government of the people, for the people, and by-the people,” inspires us with the fact that we are surely “inchin’ along.” Se : ‘The reference President Wilson makes to the traditional loyalty of the race, even though tardy, is most encouraging. . His acknow!- edgment of the fact that ‘so many” of our men are “bravely bearing arms at the very front of gret-fields of battle” causes us ‘to begin to think and feel that, after all; that “world democracy” for which the Allies*are fighting includes the “black .phalanx” over there in France, who are grimly fighting, and heroically dying, and their kinsmen over here, who are just as patriotically doing their bit at home. r — Yes; we are “inchin’ along,” and bye and bye We: will enter that heaven, EQUAL RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES. which the Constitution assumed to provide for us. . : f Through the blood of MILLIONS of white patriots who so splen- didly fought and so heroically. diéd for civilization; through the blood‘of THOUSANDS of white Americans who are sleeping their last sleep on the carmine-colored fields of France; through the blood of OUR OWN free but circumscribed heroes for whom the “six feet of earth” over in. France obliterates a color line, we are advanc- ing toward JUSTICE’S citadel—‘we're inchin’ along.” \ During the last thirty days President Wilson has spoken out, publicly, in a’ way to cause us to believe that, after all, there is a God in Israel, First, he denounced lynching and mob law—a thing to which. more than two. thousand of our race have ‘fallen victims since Reconstruction Days. Now he pays tribute to our loyalty and to our bravery. Te - “If only the subordinates under President Wilson—those depart- sent heads and. bureau chiefs who still insist on segregating colored employees in-the Departments—who still deny appointment to such as win eligibility by reason of having passed the civil service exami- nation in open. competition with .whites—we would, perhaps, feel that the pace at which “we're inchin’ along” is-far more rapid than it seems at present. . \ However, we are surely “inchin’ along,” and, as ran the old reli- gious sung of the benighted slaves, “we're goin’ to get-to- Heaven bye and bye.” . . a “War is hell,” as General Sherman so rightly. said, but out of this hell—out of Mar’s ruthless devastation, horrible flow of human blood, and. his terrible, depressing toll'of dead—good is coming to the race, of which more ‘than THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND “are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of great fields of battle,” and “to make the world safe for democracy.” - “We're inchin’ along”—even President Wilson acknowledges it.

J: Scott has strongly urged that such discrimjnations make ‘for unrest, and has gone his 'limit:to secure justice. .Mr. Scott, however, with the tremendous task before him, cannot do everything. He is almost superman—he would be superman—if he could achieve all he would like to achieve. : . Y ‘We suggest to Postmaster Chance that he can find many. colored men who are away above the ‘average, who’ would make first-rate ‘letter carriers; Engaging almost illiterate’ foreign-born ‘citizens to ‘carry the United States mail, and who are absolute failures, and |then ‘complaining of the ‘inefficiency of help, and the‘inability of securing efficient help, while overlooking qualified colored men,. has ‘not the ring of consistency. _ o. x : .. SE ge ee eee | The colored physicians are to be commended for the strong reso- lutions-they passed at their recent. meeting of the National Negro Medical Association, protesting against the discrimination permitted| against colored physicians. No stronger resolutions have as yet been adopted by any colored ‘organization or grotip of men. Thet the colored’ physicians, like the colored editors, believe “eternal vigi- lance is the price’ of liberty,” is to be found in the resolutions they adopted. . 2 Fee Doubtless there will be some bachelors who have not yet reached the forty-five limit who will make*heroic efforts to land.in-some so-called neces- sary occupation to escape the draft..

"Cheating Cheaters!" a comedy drama, is the attraction at the Howard Theater this week, and is played by the Quality Amusement Players in a very creditable manner. As the name signifies, it is a case of cheating one set of cheats by another set of cheats, and the detective agency cheating the cheaters by becoming one of them and cheating them out of the ill-gotten gains. Some of the lines are witty, and the company seems able to get the right gastures and inflections to make the certain scenes laughable. Miss Abbie Mitchell plays the role of Nan Carey, alias Ruth Brocton, the thief and detective, in a very clever and finished manner. Miss Bowman as Neil Brocton is especially good. Perhaps as a character actor she has very few superiors. Posing as a lady of character, and later dropping back into the lingo of the crooks, she provokes much laughter. Townsend, as "Tom Palmer," is very good. He carries his lines well and acts his part in a very acceptable manner. It is probable that he makes love a little more ardently in real life. Kirkpatrick as Steve Wilson, head crook, acts his part well. He also gives the proper shade to the character of the gentleman, and later reverting to the ways of the crook. Will Cook, as the funny man, draws many laughs. His make-up is enough to stamp him as a comedian, but he also puts his lines over in a comical manner. Mosley looked more like a duke than a crock, and his bows and scrapings, while a little extravagant, produced a large share of the laughter. Miss Sutton is quite herself in this play, and that means that as a character actress she shines. Miss Gargas also conducts herself well, and is showing marked improvement. Mores looked too noble to be a crook, but he does all the lines call for. The others ably assisted in producing a play, while not heavy or high brow, yet furnishes a pleasant relaxation from the worries of the draft and other war matters. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS.

Turner of Howard University has just returned from Presque Isle, in the northeastern part of Maine, where he was sent by the Department of Agriculture for six weeks to make a scientific investigation of potato pollen looking toward the improvement of the varieties of the white potato. The Northern Maine Experiment Station is located in the great Aroostook potato region of Maine and offered unlimited material for the Professor's work. Professor Turner has been carrying on researches along this line at the Government Experiment Station at Arlington, Va., during the past year. During his time at Howard University Professor Turner has proved to be one of the most able and proficient members of the faculty, notwithstanding that he is one of the youngest professors. He has accomplished a great deal toward helping to build up the scientific courses in the school, and the university is fortunate in having such a strong, capable and progressive instructor connected with it.

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 Quinasoap, 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 Quinade and Quinasoap are sold at all of the People's Drug Stores. PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES. Store No. 1, 7th and K Sts. N. W.

Since 1913 farmers have been receiving for their wheat a gradually increasing proportion of the price paid by the consumer for bread. The amount received by the wheat grower for his contribution to the average pound has increased from less than $1\frac{1}{2}$ cents per loaf in 1913 to more than $3\frac{1}{2}$ cents early this year. The proportion to the whole price is shown by the relative length of the black columns of the chart. The middle portion of each column shows what the miller received for his milling costs and profit. This has been a somewhat variable factor, but is now at the minimum (6 per cent). In this 6 per cent, however, is included the cost of the containers (bags, sacks, etc.) shown as dotted area, which has increased very nearly in proportion to the price of bread itself. Bags now cost about 50 per cent more than in 1913 and 1914. The shaded portion of the column represents the expense of distributing the flour, making it into bread and getting the loaf to the consumer. The chart shows that the farmer is now receiving a much larger share of the final price for his product than in the past, and that a considerable amount of "spread" has been taken out of other ex- William and Mary Dining Room William and Mary Dining Room Period Furniture is especially pleasing in the Dining Room, and the dignity and charm of this beautiful suite will especially commend it for consideration to the Brides of Next Month.
