NO. 23 300 Committee Breaks F are in the Majority Bee Pays Office a Black. Girls in the Majority—A Bee Representative Visits the Office and Finds 150 Colored Girls at Work Making Good—Director W. A. Bailey Doing His Duty—Promises Made and Broken by the Committee—Three Colored Girls Acting as Supervisors—Chief Albert W. Harred of the Addressograph Section Will Stand by the Colored Girls and See That They Are Given a Square Deal. The Bee published last week the report of the committee that charged discrimination and segregation against the Addressograph Section of the War Risk Insurance, which is now explained. In this section of the bureau there are at present 150 young colored girls of ability working on the graphotype machine, and are making good, said Mr. Harred, and that he proposes to promote them as they become more proficient. There are three colored girls at the head of this section who supervise the work, and they receive $75 per month, and will receive more very soon. The committee from what the chief stated, was perfectly satisfied, and had agreed to send him thirty young colored women. Promises Made. Now, if any one has broken faith it was this committee, headed by Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools; Attorney Peyton and others, and in reply to a letter from Mr. Bruce, the following was sent to him: October 23, 1918. Roscoe C.. Bruce, Franklin School, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Your letter signed by the various members of your committee is before me and contents carefully noted. On page four you mention the fact that there is a discrimination of salary, judging from the girl who presented herself and whom we took to be a white applicant. Some days ago the Acting Director of the War Risk Bureau objected to the raise of initial salary which we had started to give as an inducement for graphotype operators. If this appointment was offered at $75 it was done by some one who had not received the countermanding order, which was, and is, in effect, making the apprentice salary of $55 to all. Beyond this your last word to the writer when leaving the office Sunday afternoon was that he could count on you for thirty girls to report this afternoon, saying that they would be present if you had to bring them here yourself. At this late date, 3 p. m., I have your letter, and regard the same as an absolute breach of your word and understanding, as there has been no change whatever in the position that I took on the start. We regret the fact that your committee does not agree to act in harmony with us. Yours very truly, Supervisor Addressograph Section, Division of Receipts and Disbursements. So it can be seen, said Mr. Harred, that the committee left his presence perfectly satisfied. "I want you to go with me to the section where the young colored ladies are at work." The Bee representative accompanied by Mr. Harred went to the graphotype section and was presented to two of the directresses, one whom he knew personally. She is from one of the leading families in the city. The other, while not known personally by The Washington Bee The Bee, is known by reputation. All of these ladies know the work and are doing well. Mr. W. A. Bailey. Mr. W. A. Bailey, of whom mention was made in last week's Bee, is a highly educated young Washingtonian, born and reared in this city, but went to Oklahoma some years ago. He is a lawyer by profession and is a young man of ability. He is not what he has been pictured. He is a refined ebony colored American, cultured in every particular, who has the respect and confidence of the department. He thoroughly understands his business. He is right on the job, and his selection of help is not as has been reported. There are all colors in his department, from ebony to lily white. The ebonies are in the majority. The Bee was surprised. There seems to be no friction whatever between the whites and blacks, which makes the committee persona non gratia and Mr. Bailey ace high. Mr. Bailey has an important recommendation to make to the bureau, which will no doubt expedite the work he has in charge. It is one of the most important branches of work under the Government and the colored girls, are making good, notwithstanding the segregation. Didn't Know Them. Chief Harred said that he did not know the colored people in this city, and for that reason the men were selected to assist him. After he had named them hundreds of protests from all sides came to him, to the effect that he had selected those who did not represent the people. He doesn't need the assistance of the committee nor anyone else. Director Bailey is capable of selecting the talent he wants, and those who have been appointed are giving absolute satisfaction now. One successful applicant declared that it was a Godsend that Mr. Harred repudiated the star chamber, self-constituted committee. A look in at the day and night shifts will convince anybody that high-class and competent young colored girls have been appointed. The number will reach 250 or 300. The entire fifth floor will be occupied by colored Americans. A GOOD CITIZEN GONE. Robert Corbin, of Good Hope, Dies. An Eloquent Sermon Delivered by Rev. Dr. Taylor. Mr. Robert Corbin, an old and respected resident of Twenty-fifth Street S. E., Good Hope, D. C., died Friday, October 11th, in the full triumph of faith, at 10:10 p. m. He leaves one brother and six children and a host of friends. The funeral took place Monday, October 14th, at 2 p. m., from his late residence. Rev. J. A. Taylor, D. D.; pastor of Emanuel Baptist Church, delivered a most eloquent sermon from II Tim. 4:7, and Matt, 25:21. "I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Well done, thou good and faithful servant." It was one of the most feeling and eloquent sermons that has even been delivered by this well known minister. The doctor paid a high tribute to the value and worth of the deceased as a good citizen and Christian gentleman. After portraying the excellent qualities and virtues of the deceased, he admonished those present to emulate his example, and the timely admonition he gave to those present was impressive. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1918 We sincerely thank our patrons and the public for their indulgence during the past influenza epidemic. We are glad to note that, notwithstanding the fact that during the epidemic the United States Government commandeered a large portion of our caskets and funeral supplies, we were still able, because of our large stock, to supply our patrons without any delay whatever or increase in price. We have again refilled our stock rooms, and can furnish without delay, and at a moment's notice, anything required for a high-class funeral. There is no need for you to accept cheap, shoddy, home-made caskets and burial cases for your beloved dead, and wait for five and six days for the delivery of same, when we have within our showrooms nearly one hundred caskets and burial cases for you to select from. Our showrooms are open both day and night for your inspection. Chapel. Show Rooms. Motor Ambulance. Motor Service. Mr. Corbin was one of the original members of Emanuel Baptist Church and had served as a senior deacon for thirty years and chairman of the Trustee Board for thirty years. The unity of the church members and the success of the church are largely due the deceased member. He exerted a wholesome influence over the official board which made him a power in the church. He was not only strong in his church, but popular and well thought of by the citizens of Garfield. THEATRES OPEN. Howard, Hiawatha and Foraker Greeted With Large Crowds. Supper Show Had a Record-Breaking Crowd. Monday evening was a jolly time among the patrons of the theatres. The Howard, Hiawatha and Foraker had record-breaking crowds all the week. These three theatres, the Howard with Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, manager, as The Bee-stated last week, had been lavishly dressed throughout, inside and out. The theatre opened at 6:30 with the usual supper show. Every seat was taken and standing room was at a premium. After the supper show the theatre was thoroughly aired, and at 8:30 the Quality Amusement Company presented "The Man They Left Behind." It is quite an interesting play and the participants acquitted themselves well. Messrs. Charles Oden, Walker Thompson, Luke Scott, Miss Inez Clough, Misses Evelyn Ellis, Theresa Blueford and Mr. James Christy and Mr. James Burris were very clever. The Hiawatha and Foraker, under the management of Mr. Raymond Murray, have been tastily dressed. These two attractive theatres presented some fine pictures Monday evening to crowded houses. The people in the west end had an enjoyable time. It seemed like a holiday. All this week new pictures will be shown nightly. A WORTHY APPEAL. The National Race Congress of America at its last annual meeting. October 1, 2 and 3, authorized that a commission be sent to France at the earliest possible date to cheer and encourage our soldier boys "over there," and to contribute in whatever way they can to their comfort and welfare. Prominent men of the race compose the commission. It will require at least $4,000 to meet the expense of this commission, To Our Patrons and the Public: and we issue this appeal to the public asking for contributions toward this fund. All checks or money orders for this purpose should be made payable to A. A. Graham, Correspondent and Financial Secretary, who will promptly acknowledge with official receipt. The money will be sent to A. A. Graham, Box 177, Phoebus, Va., or headquarters, 903 3rd Street N. W., Washington, D. C. In order to get the commission "over there" at an early date it should be on hand by December 1, 1918. We earnestly pray that every unit of our Congress, the churches and lodges throughout the country, and every one interested in the welfare of our soldiers in France will respond to this appeal at once. We call upon pastors especially to put this matter before their churches. The following amounts have been pledged: R. F. Williams, Texas, $100; S. J. Walls, N. C., $100; Walter Darden, N. J., $100; J. E. Bryant, Miss., $100, with many lodges pledging $10 each. Race papers please copy. Signed by the following committee: A. A. Graham, William H. Stokes, John R. Hawkins, C. H. Stepteau and H. J. Collins. W. H. Jernagin, President, and A. A. Graham, Corresponding and Financial Secretary. PROMOTED. Mr. W. J. Curry Wins on His Efficiency. Mr. W. J. Curry of the Post Office Department has been promoted to a $1,700 clerkship. Mr. Curry is one of the most efficient clerks in the department, and his ability has always been recognized by his chiefs. The position to which he has been promoted was obtained strictly on his merits, and in recommending him his chief spoke of him in the most complimentary manner. CHURCH NOTICE. An organ recital will be given at St. Mary's Chapel, Twenty-third between G and H Streets N. W., Sunday evening, November 10th, at 6 o'clock, by Mr. Edgar Priest, organist at the Washington Cathedral. Arrangements for this recital were made by the builders of the new organ recently erected in the chapel. This will be an opportunity for the music lovers of Washington to hear and enjoy a grand organ recital, as Mr. Priest is conceded to be the best organist in the city. RALPH W.

Tyler. (Accredited Representative of the Committee on Public Information.) Article I. Paris, France, September 28—I have just reached this city after a ten days' voyage, which was, for the most part, uneventful. We experienced delightful weather from the time we started out of New York harbor until we cast anchor in a port over here. Had it not been for the democratic spirit prevailing aboard the big liner, and which gave me a most satisfactory taste of this "world democracy" for which the allies are fighting, I might have considered the voyage momentous. Aboard the ship was quite a galaxy of notable writers for the big dailies and magazines; feature and fiction writers who were taking a respite from that occupation to write "straight stuff" for dailies they are to represent. Among them were celebrities like Will Irwin, Robert W. Ritchie, Damon Runyon, H. J. Foreman, erstwhile, managing editor of Collier's, and Applegarth, usually known as "Appy" by the pencil pushers and readers of the Pittsburgh Post. Each and every one of these notable writers—former newspaper reporters, seemed to have made an especial effort to make me forget—which I did—that my skin was several shades darker than theirs, and by so doing to convince me that this "world democracy" for which the allies are lighting is neither a barren ideality nor a rainbow vision, but an actual probability whose advance courier is discernible with the naked eye. The treatment accorded me by the newspaper men aboard was but typical of the treatment accorded me by all the other passengers. Among the nearly two thousand souls making up the ship's passenger list were many Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C., A., Knights of Columbus and Salvation Army workers. These all displayed a most notable evidence of a healthy spirit of democracy by their fraternizing as if they were all members of one and the same organization. Among the Y. M. C. A. workers aboard were five colored secretaries: Fritz P. Cansler, of Knoxville, Tenn.; Thomas M. Clayton, of Piqua, Ohio; F. L. Clark, of Leavenworth, Kans.; D. D. Mattocks, of Philadelphia, Pa., and G. W. Jackson, of Louisville, Ky. The Y. M. C. A. certainly made no mistake in selecting these five men for overseas duty, for they represent the highest type in the race, and by their bearing won the respect, and even admiration, of all on board the ship. Diversions. By Service Battalion Aboard Ship. Aboard the ship, also, was a colan Engineer Regiment. They were stout, husky fellows, whose good humor was effervescent even con- A NATION'S STRENGTH IS IN ITS FOOD SUPPLY Eat Less — Waste nothing Create a Reserve AMERICA MUST FEED 120,000,000 ALIES nted R WRITES LETTER er from France. The ed Soldiers. His Trip tagious, and their rolllicking songs and plantation melodies cheered all, making them, those whose thoughts had involuntarily turned to submarines—Germany's acme of kultur, forget them, and banish all fear from their minds. One of the songs which they frequently sang, and with a gusto which gave further evidence of their 100 per cent Americanism, and which never failed to elicit rapturous applause from the white passengers, was "Three Months From Now We Will Be in Germany." I had heard it said that the big waters frightened colored soldiers, but these colored soldiers aboard the ship I sailed appeared as contented, self-centered and care-bereft on the big ship at night, when lights were out, as they were down in Alabama, Virginia, Mississippi and other Southern cities from whence most of them came. Their contentment at sea, and when in the submarine zone, constituted another disillusion. Among these troopers were some clever boxers, and the monotony of "just sky and water" was frequently broken by some rattling boxing matches between these troopers for pretty substantial purses which the white passengers contributed merely out of admiration and respect for these big, brave black boys, who did not fear to come over here to fight for world democracy. An amusing incident took place the second day out. Forty or fifty of the colored soldiers had formed a circle and were singing to their hearts' delight, and the delight of the passengers. One of them, seemingly, changed his voice with each song or hymn. "What do you sing?" called down from the upper deck a good-natured son of the Emerald Isle. Quick as a flash came the answer: "Sometimes I sing bass and sometimes I sing soprano." And it was true, for in the chorus he adapted himself to the type of the song he was singing, to the circumstance, to the other singers, and, above all, perhaps, to his mood. Because they were light-hearted—cheerful when going across the big waters, it must not be accepted they were merely light-hearted because of lack of brain development, for many among them were bright, intelligent men, graduates of Howard University and other accredited schools. Off to the Front for News of "Our Boys." I shall tarry but a day or two here in Paris; only until I get my itinerary tentatively made out, and then I shall be off to the front where our colored soldiers are stationed; and I go to the front with the same absence of fear that characterized the colored troopers who sailed for France on the ship with me. In my next letter I hope to have been able to secure some real, permissible, news about what the colored soldiers—our boys—have done, and are doing to maintain the race's traditional reputation for bravery, endurance and patriotism; and to help "make the world safe for democracy." If this world democracy we are fighting for is like the sample I have been made acquainted with from New York to Paris, I have no doubt but that they are putting up a whaling good fight to land the democracy pennant for the United States—our own, and only country. --- After several weeks' silence and anxiety, by the press and the Sage in particular, my friend, Ralph W. Tyler, who was thought to have been lost or led astray in the "Desert of Saharra," he suddenly sprang up at the Grand Hotel in Paris, France. Ralph didn't say whether he had been on the firing line or any where near it, but he was found in a Paris hospital inspecting the sick and wounded. Well, I don't know whether his reports will pass the censor or not, but he did say that all was well with the sons of Ham, and the French people were treating them as well as himself royally. The bit of news published last week was devoured like a pig would devour sweet potatoes or large, ripe peaches. It was the talk at Cunningham's and Townsley's Emporium, where the near statesmen congregate to discuss the merits and demerits of the allied forces. Tom Clark has been silent for a few weeks. Perhaps he is thinking about what to say and repeat after the event, "I told you so." The occupation of the high rollers at Howard University has been curtailed by the new president. Things are not being run with a free hand as heretofore. There is a a little more than one man's power at this great institution. Prof. Kelly Miller is on high yet. Well, he deserves it. He is doing great work for the institution. It doesn't take some people any time to lose their heads as well as their power, especially when they begin to count too fast. When peace as final peace has been declared, some one from the Sons of Ham should be named for a seat at the peace table to see that old Ham gets a slice of the pie. You know the American peace representatives may insist on having the entire slice and old Ham will not be counted in on the equation. That equation business is hard to figure out, especially if you are not a mathematician. When I attended school at Howard University this problem was easy to me. But since then so many changes have been made that I don't know how to calculate. Problems are solved now without a book on the rules that were once in vogue when Franklin invented the printing press, or when old Morse instructed the generations how to telegraph, or when old Fulton started the first boat up the Hudson. Tom Jones was on his way from the incubator then, and John C. Dancy was inventing a scheme on how to live without doing hard work. Speaking about John C. Dancy, he never does anybody any harm. He is a whole-squared individual, with a good word for everybody. It would be a calamity on humanity to separate Judge Terrell and John C. Dancy. Roscoe C. Bruce must have been in a trance last week. He really came down off the fence and spoke against segregation and discrimination. Roscoe certainly did speak out in open meeting. Those who attended the conference were taken with a chill when Roscoe spoke out. They didn't realize whether they were standing or seated. Many of the segregated females left the committee and sneaked around to the back door in a side alley and had themselves selected at 55 per. The committee is now wondering whether it was representing uncivilized "Fee Gees" or some other nationality. The man from Oklahoma is now on the job, who looks them over, and if they meet his approbation they are selected at 55 per. If there is to be a representative at the peace table when the war is over, I don't know of a man I would rather have to represent us than Richard H. Horner, or the man upon the hill. Horner has metal, and he will not take no for an answer. He would represent the colored American in deed and in fact. No two by four white man could purchase his opinion or his vote. There would be something doing if he was on the Board of Education today. Any colored man picked by a white man cannot honestly represent his people. When the colored brother is able to pick his own representative, then the race will be represented. If I pick you to do a certain job of work, you will certainly perform that job of work the way I want it. Can you point out one man who has followed his own inclinations who has been selected by another? The moment he thinks for himself and asserts himself he is displaced by an apologist of a trimmer the next time it comes for an appointment. A hand picked individual had no thought of his own. I am in favor of giving War Correspondent Tyler a rousing reception on his return to America. He will tell us something, perhaps, that he Uncle Sam Needs Our Men.

And the Lord said unto me, "Amos, what seest thou?" And I said "A plumbline." Then said the Lord "Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people, Israel." Amos VII. 8. What does God mean by "setting a plumbline for you? He means that He has set a straight line for you to walk into the right path, the path that will lead you to all that is good and will keep you out of all that is evil and unfavorable. And do you walk every day in the plumbline, the beautiful path that God has made for you? If you do, you know the joy, the glory, the benefits you derive from walking in God's Goodluck Path. But if you have lost your way, and are turning in dark corners, beware, the Devil is looking for you. You cannot see him. Satan has powerful eyes and he can see best in the dark, and he is on the lookout in those dark corners. I represent God, and I delight in informing you that God is seeking you and He is determined to get you safely in His plumbline, so that evil powers cannot get you into their dark, unlucky road. If you have not yet joined our great sacred scripture society, join now. Do not delay or you will surely wander astray, in the dark corners, away from God's plumbline path. But if you have joined us, you surely realize the benefits, and it is your duty to work and get converts. The Master asks, "Where are your converts?" God is here today and calling "Amos!" "Amos!" "Amos!" "Amos," what seest thou?" "Amos, what doest thou?" "Amos, what contributest thou?" "Amos, whom servest thou?" "Amos, where are thy converts that carry and read My sacred scriptures daily and burn incense as an offering to me?" If you have neglected God's request to carry and read His Word of Help and Wisdom each day, and read as much as your time, allows, start right now. This is your lucky moment to start. The best men and women today in this much troubled world of ours are turning Christ-ward, and I feel it my duty to say, that if you have not turned yet, you must turn now. Be with us in this world-wide movement and God and I will always be with you. Christ asks you this test question, "What more can you demand of Me in order to have Faith and accept Me?" And what are your demands? You have His divine Revelations; Christ gave you proof of a resurrection of the dead; Christ gave you the Christian, the only real blessed life, and now you are asked to daily read the sacred scripture booklets and use the blessed incense. There is nothing more that you can demand ROCHESTER, N. Y., NEWS Master Oliver Ewell, who died last Wednesday, was, buried Thursday from Stranchen Undertakers Parlors.

Let us start on our new way, the Godway; let us carry a sacred scripture booklet and read it whenever we can snatch a little into our own lives with God's powerful electric searchlight, and as we search and discover, let us eliminate the evil and bring to ourselves and others all the good we can. Let us denounce and defeat Satan with all his evil allies, and let us always carry the Word of God with us as a shield against Satan, and let us read God's sacred scripture to honor God and to torment and keep away Satan from us forever. Let us use God's blessed incense to surround us with an uplifting, helping and protecting power, that is sure to keep away evil influences, and bring us all "our heart's desire," and thus defeat the Devil, who is always ready to interfere with us.

C., NOVEMBER 9, 1918. $500,000 worth of toys made by her had been bought and paid for in New York. Previously they had all of the toys, especially dolls, sold in Germany or Japan. Since any a number of American factories hoped for enormous profits. Great agitation was started in New York by American manufacturers, in which were the actors, to destroy or boycott owned toys. All sorts of nonsense "New York toy party" to dump the owners and then make a bonfire of "National Destruction Day," or of New York, and then have the effects till they are completely destroyed. Every child in American man toy. The cargo of toys in and worth, say $500,000. Whom $500,000 worth of American property by American toy manufacturers, will demand that every child in America has played with for a year or just a lot of black dolls have been sold for colored children. They cost $500,000. They were made in Germany, main colored church organizations, male labor in the United States. Destroyed? Defender of Germany, but a foe of faceless foe of rascality and flim-flaim, are opposed to the fool as well as over Germany will owe us billions partly in money, partly in goods. By all means let us build toy factories, our colored girls, but let us and obvious laws of trade, intern. This over we shall have plenty to use by the war, and then if Germany we will continue to buy some sap. And this will be one of the Recently about $500,000 worth of toys made in Germany that previous to the war had been bought and paid for by American importers were landed in New York. Previously they had been stored in Holland. The most of the toys, especially dolls, sold in this country in recent years were made in Germany or Japan. Since the beginning of our war with Germany a number of American factories have been turning out toys. They hoped for enormous profits. Last week a great agitation was started in New York, engineered and staged by these American manufacturers, in which a number of "patriotic" women were the actors, to destroy or boycott these German made and American owned toys. All sorts of nonsensical propositions have been made—a "New York toy party" to dump them into the sea; to buy them of their owners and then make a bonfire of them on a certain day, to be called "National Destruction Day," or to buy them, sell them to the children of New York, and then have the children "kick them through the streets till they are completely destroyed." All very preposterous. Every child in America now owns and plays with some German toy. The cargo of toys in question are now American property and worth, say $500,000. Whom will it benefit to wantonly destroy $500,000 worth of American property? Answer: No one, not even the new American toy manufacturers, who are at the bottom of this nonsense. We might as well demand that every child in America destroy the German-made toys it has played with for a year or more past. It is well known that a vast lot of black dolls have been sold in this country in the last few years for colored children. They cost the buyers many thousands of dollars. They were made in Germany, notwithstanding the pretense of certain colored church organizations that they were made by colored female labor in the United States. Shall these black dolls now also be destroyed? The BEE is no defender of Germany, but a foe of Germany. But we are also the implacable foe of rascality and flim-flam, and especially of willful waste; we are opposed to the fool as well as the villain. When the war is over Germany will owe us billions of dollars. The debt must be paid partly in money, partly in goods—all by German labor or materials. By all means let us build toy factories of our own, some run by colored labor, our colored girls, but let us not be blind to the most primary and obvious laws of trade, international exchange, and conservation. When the war is over we shall have plenty to do in America to restore the wastes caused by the war, and then if Germany will sell us toys very cheap, maybe we will continue to buy some of them. But they must come cheap. And this will be one of the penalties we will impose on Germany. THE SOUTH WORRIED. The South is worried a war the war is a question and classes that have embarked war wants to enjoy the fought in vain for the size the fact that the blood principle. If this war has hard the faithful black alliage: not a traitor or a slyful black allies, who hashed, shot and ill-treatedoration and sympathy. Mnd, the South is still planning it he is receiving today waiting for a country that gets be curbed. What he had to him some few ye date, from the body polian impediment to the Re exercise the same drasticressive tactics toward a Government which has corried about the black man. What question that seems to effect the slave have embarrassed the country. The enjoy the rights of citizenship and for the democracy of the world. The blood of the black has been shear war has not taught the South to black allies; nothing under the sun for a slacker has been found in who have been segregated, discriminated by those who should haveathy. Notwithstanding the ills he will planning what to do with him, today will not stop him from obey that gives him such little conside. What has become of that door or few years ago? President Wilson body politic men who were so object to the Republic. It is in the power of drastic measures toward all who award a people who are still loyal which has been harrassed by a foreign relent. The South is worried about the black man: What to do with him after the war is a question that seems to effect the sleep of the prejudiced classes that have embarrassed the country. The black man after the war wants to enjoy the rights of citizenship and feel that he has not fought in vain for the democracy of the world. The South must realize the fact that the blood of the black has been shed for a cause and a principle. If this war has not taught the South to be fair and just toward the faithful black allies; nothing under the sun will. Just think of it: not a traitor or a slacker has been found in the ranks of the faithful black allies, who have been segregated, discriminated against, lynched, shot and ill-treated by those who should have shown more consideration and sympathy. Notwithstanding the ills he has already suffered, the South is still planning what to do with him. The brutal treatment he is receiving today will not stop him from obeying the laws and fighting for a country that gives him such little consideration. Will the South be curbed? What has become of that door of hope that was opened to him some few years ago? President Wilson was forced to eliminate, from the body politic men who were so objectionable to him and an impediment to the Republic. It is in the power of the President to exercise the same drastic measures toward all who insist in their oppressive tactics toward a people who are still loyal and patriotic to the Government which has been harrassed by a foreign foe. The South must relent. TI No Work, No Vote.—T Vote.—The soviet, or bolshevik government, outlines of a new constitution that a person who does not work shall seem to present some absurdities; it is a non-worker. How is a country, the answer is that the State is a socialism, or communism, and it sees a fair test of this theory. But state capital seems particularly absurd to provide against old age or action of "no work, no vote," does not No Work, No Vote.—The soviet, or bolshevik government, is said to have promulgated the outlines of a new constitution, one of the provisions of which is that a person who does not work shall not vote. The whole proposition seems to present some absurdities; for instance, the capitalist is classed as a non-worker. How is a country to get on without capital? Of course, the answer is that the State should control all capital. That is ultra socialism, or communism, and it may not be bad if once for all we see a fair test of this theory. But the idea of the total absence of private capital seems particularly absurd, for how else could a person save to provide against old age or accident? And yet the general proposition of "no work, no vote," does not seem bad. NO LONGER A MENACE. fire is no longer a menace to civilization forces. It was the combined attack on invasion of Paris. When the history did not but help give to the faithful black Victor or a slacker was found in the Government called for men, the blasts. It was not, as Heflin declared, the war of civilization against barbarism. Notwithstanding the manner in The German Empire is no longer a menace to civilization. She is beaten and by the American forces. It was the combined attack of colored soldiers that prevented the invasion of Paris. When the history of the war is written the historians cannot but help give to the faithful black allies their share of credit. Not a traitor or a slacker was found in the ranks of the black soldiers. When the Government called for men, the black man responded readily and in numbers. It was not, as Heflin declared, that it was a white man's war; it was a war of civilization against barbarism and the vilest acts of uncivilized warfare. Notwithstanding the manner in which the black GERMAN TOYS. TIMELY TOPICS. soldiers were treated, they have been faithful and loyal and can always be depended upon in the hour of peril or when their country is attacked by the foes without or the traitors within. Can the oppressors of the black man look him in the face and say that he has not done his duty? Can he be charged with disloyalty? Has one traitor been found within his ranks? The question now is. What shall be his reward after the war? Will history repeat itself after every conflict in which he has been engaged? It cannot be. Will acts of segregation and discrimination be continued? There are thousands of fair-minded and sympathetic white Americans who believe in rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. The Bee, therefore, appeals to those who will sit at the peace table. See that the faithful black allies are given that to which merit entitles them: equality of citizenship, a right to be represented in the councils of the Nation. You Work, I Note.—The soviet idea of "no work note" was for many centuries reversed in monarchical countries, and it is still the fundamental political theory of the Solid South. It is also the idea of those who oppose woman suffrage. The colored population of the South are the principal workers. The women the world over are the steadiest and hardest workers. Few of either class are permitted to vote. War Loans by Individuals.—Since the war began the average loans made by individuals of the different leading warring nations are as follows: Italy, $60; Canada, $93; United States, $97; Hungary, $106; Australia, $137; France, $171; Austria, $252; Great Britain, $297; Germany, $305. It begins to look as if the lenders in Hungary, Austria and Germany have sunk their money. After the War.—It looks as if the war will terminate inside of six months. A word to the wise is sufficient. Make the most of high wages now. Save a third of your earnings, if you can. There may be hard times a year hence. Make hay now. African Colonies.—A month ago The BEE printed an editorial on Africa and advocated fair play for the Africans as one result of the war. Now comes the London Spectator with the proposition that the German African colonies be turned over to the United States for administration. The BEE is usually in the lead with constructive suggestions. Segregation of Colored Laborers.—The Department of Labor denies the rumor that a colored bureau of industrial building and transportation was to be organized and put into effect as a policy of enforced segregation with respect to housing. It explains that the problem is being solved "in cooperation with the director of Negro economies." The explanation also needs explanation. Black George and Master Blifel.—We all remember these noted characters in Fielding's "Tom Jones,"—an unholy alliance against Tom Jones. The Southern Senators, aided by a few Republican Senators of the North, defeated the woman suffrage proposition in the Senate. The reason of the gallant Southerners was that it would give the ballot to "nigger women." The reason of the few Republican Senators was—a mystery. Maybe it was because the woman vote elected Wilson at the last presidential election. Maybe it was because they are uncertain about the way the vast foreign female vote in the North would go. The reason is no doubt one of pure expediency rather than principle. As Senator Phelan said openly in the Senate, it was an "unholy alliance." Arthur Brisbane.—What about that proposition to put Mr. Brisbane on the rack because he borrowed some money from the brewers? Mr. Brisbane has called the bluff, and it's dollars to doughnuts his accusers will be slow about a show-down. Spoils of War.—The present war is one whose termination must not be marked by a contest for spoils. There will be no spoils. The only things to do are (1) to get back stolen property, (2) enforce payment for actual damages, (3) rearrange some boundary lines, and (4) effectively disarm the freebooters. Of course, the entente allies will have to do some tall figuring to see how much is coming to each. It is high time we appointed an Arithmetical Commission to find out how much we shall have spent. We want that much back, and no more. The Churches and the "Flu."—While we were writing last week a meed of praise for the Commissioners of the District for standing pat in the face of the demand of the preachers for the reopening of the churches, the Commissioners were capitulating, and, lo, they struck flag, and that while the epidemic was and is still raging. These Commissioners remind us of Russia, which started a fight, then laid down in the thick of it. It is as if they now cry: "Go it, Mr. BEE; we'll stand to your back and see your belly beat blue." God Almighty hates a quitter. First of His Kind?—A man is found in New Hampshire ninety-eight years old who never smoked, chewed or drank. The nicotines and alcohols are saying he is the first of his kind. How can they know that? Looks like a fallacy of imperfect enumeration. RACE CONGRESS. Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen an appeal to the colored Americans for funds by the president of the Race Congress, Rev. W. H. Jernagin. This appeal should be liberally responded to by all lovers of liberty. Let there be no laxity in our enthusiasm. Rev. Jernagin deserves credit for the noble light he has made to blot out caste and race prejudice. There is a great deal of work before us. There is lots to be done before the colored American sees real light. Act today. Now is the time. Dear Sir:—As you are now one of those shouting Presbyterians, I beg to ask you two questions. First. During the closing of the churches here did you observe that the Washington sinners grew more wicked or not? Second. Since the closing of the whiskey saloons have you observed that there have been far more obedience to law and order? Now, gird up thyself like a man and answer thou me. The closing of the churches, as I see it, has only affected the money-grabbing preachers. And, well, there is no use talking about the whiskey trains and trials and tribulations of the so-called bootleggers. The regular meeting of the District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will be held at the 12th Street Branch, Y. M. C.

WAITERS' HALLOWEEN RECEPTION BIG SUCCESS. The complimentary reception which was given in honor of the New Ebbitt waiters at the residence of Capt. and Mrs. J. H. Mays on last Thursday evening, was a big success. Friends of the big hotel's crew came from all sections of the city to enjoy the festivities. Some of the features of the evening consisted of dancing, card playing, etc. Every one present had an opportunity to drink out of the loving cup awarded the association in 1916 at the Bee's floral parade. The direction of the affair was under the personal direction of R. De Reel Miller, the president of the association. Mr. Miller is spending several days in New York city during the election. His uncle, Dr. George Frazier Miller, is running for the United States Congress on the socialist ticket.

To Go to the Store With the White Front the man left behind, in reality a secret service man, who succeeds in trapping spies and prevents submarine raids on our coast by destroying their base. The lesson sought to be expounded is that the man may do his duty over here as well as over there. His work is good and wins much praise. Barrington Carter as the admiral, gives about as fine a portrayal of character acting as one could wish to see. His work always shows attention to detail, and in this play he is splendid. Miss Bluford, as the fiancee, makes a very charming society lady, and her manner is very pleasing. When she gives full vent to her suppressed emotion she will be doing herself more justice. Charles Olden as the boy soldier is very boyish, if not kiddish—though he plays in accordance with the lines. Miss Clough, as the mother, plays in her same finished manner. Luke Scott as the spy gives one of his best performances. We would like to see him just a little less like a butler than a secretary in his movements at times. Burris as "Marlow" is good, as is Christie as the senator. Miss Ellis is graceful and chick, and displays several very pretty gowns, in fact, all the ladies show very pretty wardrobes.

Back numbers can be had from the publisher.) Obiter Dicta. I turn aside a moment for some comments, corrections and explanations. My plan for the settlement of the war seems to be meeting very general favor. Even some who at first gasped at its radicalism and opposed it in part, now seem to favor it in the main. Mr. Frank H. Simons, who writes a daily syndicated article on war topics, controlled by the New York Tribune, and printed by the Washington Star, comes out strongly (November 3) against taking any territory from Germany except Alsace-Lorraine. This article is accompanied with an after-the-war map, whose authorship, however, Mr. Simons does not acknowledge, and to which he makes no direct allusion. The article and the map are markedly pro-German, and yet the article claims to point a "safeguard against possible future aspirations of Germany." The map makes liberal concessions to Lithuania, Poland and Roumania by pushing them far to the north, at the expense of Russia and Hungary, the effect being to save the Teutons of Germany and Austria. It makes a large concession to Bulgaria, a very small concession to Italy, no concession to Belgium, Greece of Denmark. It concedes the integrity of Albania, and provides for a large Jugo-Slav state, with Serbia as the center, including Montenegro. It provides for a Czecho-Slovak state (Bohemia), but does not provide for a new state of Ruthenja, or Galicia. Curiously, the map concedes to Poland a large part of West Prussia, but reserves to Germany East Prussia as a detached area. Herein the map conflicts with the text, and the arrangement is inexplicable. To a certain degree the map in question coincides with my territorial plans in so far as they relate to Albania, Jugo-Slavia (Serbia), Roumania, Czecho-Slovakia (Bohemia), Lithuania, and even, in a small measure, the territory bordering the Bosphorous and Dardanelles (Europa). Corrections. In my last article (November 2) I make the following corrections: 53. Roumania not to take Bukowina, but to take Bessarabia instead, Bukowina to go to Ruthenia, or Galicia. 54. Switzerland to take all that part of the Tyrol not conceded (Rule 40) to Italy, and to take also Lichtenstein and Vorarlburg. Repetitions and Definitions. 34. No transfer of the sovereignty of any territory of a conquered foe shall in any manner be construed as a release of such territory from the payment of its just part of the Atonement Debt (see also Rules 31, 32, 33). Atonement Debt—the total penalty debt to be assessed against the foe, or any foe, or any Taxing District (see also Rules 16, 17, 19, 20). Taxing Period—the period or duration of the enforcement of the atonement or penalties (see Rule 14). Settlement Period—the same as the Taxing Period (Rule 14). Eastern Asia. 68. It is not necessary here to discuss details of reassignments of territory in Eastern Asia, because there will be little difference of opinion on what will be wise and equitable as to that. Three things will be essential—Japan and China should be treated with due consideration, and nothing should be permitted that would impede a trans-continental rail route, or routes, of traffic and travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Turkey. 69. Turkey having withdrawn from Europe (see Rule 62), should be required to fix her capital on the south shore of Asia Minor, or Anatolia, and during the Taxing Period should not be permitted to fortify or mine the harbor of her capital city. 70. The Sultan of Turkey should be required to relinquish and renounce whatever political headship he now pretends to hold, or now exercises, over the Mohammedan church; and such headship in future, if any there shall be, must devolve upon some citizen and resident of the State of Hedjaz, or Mecca. 71.

DUDLEY man Empire should be permitted to remain politically intact during the Taxing Period, because this will facilitate the collection from Turkey of her share of the Atonement Debt. 72. At the conclusion of the Taxing Period the Ottoman Empire shall cease to exist as a single political unit. 73. The disposition to be made of the territory of Russian Siberia it is too early to determine. It is sufficient here to postulate that there ought to be two zones of Asia open and free for the commerce of the world between the Pacific Ocean and Europe and between the 40th and 55th parallels—one from Vladivostok to the Ural Mountains, one from the Yellow Sea to the Black Sea. 74. Siberia claims the benevolent consideration of the civilized world, and at the same time Siberia will owe an obligation to the victor nations. Siberia should be assisted to establish beneficient political and economic systems, and at the same time Siberia should bear an equitable part of the debt due by the former Russia which the victor nations are interested to collect (see future discussion of Russia). 75. With reference to allusions in Rules 68 and 73, there ought to be a railroad from the Pacific (Yellow Sea) to the Black Sea, or from near Port Arthur to Batum, passing through the states of China, Mongolia, Eastern Turkestan, Turkestan, Persia and Armenia. Also, a ship canal should be cut between the Caspian and Black Seas along-the Kuma-Manych depression, notwithstanding any engineering difficulties. Such railroad and canal would carry modern science to Central Russia. In my next talk I purpose to discuss Russia, and after that Africa. Following in turn I wish to discuss some details for the proposed Settlement Commission and Taxing Districts, and finally the League of Nations.

I'm sitting here and thinking of the things I left behind, And I hate to put on paper what is running through my mind. We've dug a million trenches and cleared ten miles of ground, And a meaner place this side of hell I know it can't be found. But there's one consolation, gather closely while I tell, When we die we're bound for heaven, for we've done our hitch in hell. We've built a hundred kitchens for the cooks to stew our beans; We have stood a hundred guard mounts and viewed a hundred scenes, We've made a million mess kits and peeled a million spuds. We've strapped a million blanket rolls and washed a million duds. The number of parades we've made is blooming hard to tell, But we'll parade in heaven for we've done our hitch in hell. We've killed a million rats that tried to take our cots, And darned and darned a million holes in our old army socks. We've marched a million miles and made a thousand camps, And have patched a million holes in the seat of our army pants. But when our work on earth is done our friends behind can tell "When they died they went to heaven for they've done their hitch in hell." When the first taps are sounded and we lay aside our cares, And we do our very last parade right up the golden stairs; And the angels bid us welcome and the harps begin to play, While we draw a million canteen checks and spend them in a day, It is then we'll hear St. Peter tell us loudly with a yell, "Just take a front seat Company B, for you've done your hitch in hell."

NORTH CAROLINA Springtex UNDERWEAR 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 Secby'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.

Now is the time for colored people of the United States to read colored papers—especially the Washington Bee, at the National Capital (Grand East) of the United States. In an article which appeared in the Washington Post of November 1, 1918, former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft make an appeal to the G. O. P., the first ever composed and signed by two former Presidents of the United States. The faithful will take due notice and be governed accordingly. There are hints of mild friendly disagreements among the allies now as to the war's ending. A great deal of tact will be needed in order to avoid complications. * * * The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church. Nature does not work kindly or gently. * * * Lucius P. Taylor, 101 years old, celebrated his last birthday by chopping wood. He was born in 1817. * * * The 10 o'clock opening for stores will continue in Washington. * * * Nearly half of the canned tomatoes in the United States are to be taken over by the army and navy. Washington is the first city in the country to have a woman police traffic officer. The Kaiser's losses in 1918 are placed at 2,500,000 men. The Negro of the United States is now going through one of his greatest trials; he is up against a complex combination. He will have to exercise the greatest of diplomacy to pull through—but cutting out the knifing business: With united effort he will pull out O. K. The body of Rev. E. E. Curtis of Harrisburg, Pa., was placed in a window at the parsonage so friends could see it without entering the house. * * * Washington's monthly sugar allowance has been increased from two to three pounds per person. * * * President Wilson's ruling permitting more than two members of one family to receive civil service appointment during the war went into operation November 1st. Judge Hitz Gives Him a Decree Against Wife. Mr. James H. Dabney, at one time the leading funeral undertaker in the city, but now retired, and who sued his wife for the possession of his property, to whom he had it conveyed in trust, and which has been in litigation for a number of years; was given a decree by Judge Hitz.
