The Only Heroes in the War, Says Sergeant Greenleaf B. Johnson, as He Lay Upon His Bed in the Walter Reed Hospital—His Remarkable Story to The Bee Editor, Who Called to See Him—Colored Citizens and Ministers Leave the Colored Soldiers to Suffer Alone—His Appeal to Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, Who Came to His Rescue. Upon a clean white bed at Walter Reed Hospital lies Sergeant G. J. Johnson, a well educated colored American, who has just returned from the seat of war in France. His remarkable statement to The Bee editor is enough to make tears come to your eyes. He told how the District of Columbia First Separate Battalion fought and conquered, the Prussian crack regiments, and the honor the French general bestowed upon the boys of the District of Columbia. He told how the French ladies, after they had been driven from their homes and sought the protection of the colored soldiers, because they had faith and confidence in them, and not one offered an insult to these French women. They knew that they were safe the moment they fell into the hands of colored soldiers. The real heroes of the war were the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, who fought like soldiers, and not one showed the white feather. They were experts with the bayonet, and they knew how to make the Prussians retreat when these boys made a charge. Whenever the Germans found a colored sector these crack troops of Germany would be sent against them, only to be annihilated. Sergeant Johnson is suffering from the effects of being gassed, and his treatment at the Walter Reed Hospital was not of the best. He was threatened, he says, because he asked for a prescribed diet, and he was compelled to appeal to Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who had him removed to Walter Reed Hospital. After his arrival there, and the few days he was there he claims that his treatment was not what it should have been. He appealed to the higher authorities at the hospital, and gave them to understand that he was a sick patient; that he had been fighting for his country, and he expected decent treatment. He claims that his letters were censored and not delivered. His complaint reached the hospital authorities, and to some extent it was corrected. The Bee has sent Sergeant Johnson's complaint to the Secretary of War. The following is a letter from Sergeant Johnson to the Editor of the Washington Times: The daily Post, recounting the valor and achievements of different units, it appears, inadvertently omitted to mention at all the Negro troops of the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, National Guard Infantrymen, an organization of acknowledged military qualification, promoted by some of our most intelligent Negro citizens, and commanded by brave, efficient and much-loved Negro officers—men who fill high and useful positions in civic life. While a fault of unintentional omission, or a sin of voluntary commission, the fact remains that this Negro unit, who have achieved distinct and pre-eminent glory in the late war, appear to have been obscured. It is fitting, and indeed a worthy enterprise, to welcome home all of our heroes with public demonstration, and our colored citizens will, the writer feels sure, join heartily in aiding in carrying out the project. But should not some public attention be given to this unit, that an admiring and indulgent public may know who are the real heroes of the District of Columbia's units who participated in the late war? The writer, therefore, begs through your columns to call the public's attention to the fact that this Negro unit of the District of Columbia Infantrymen, and its brave and efficient officers, was first to complete its mobilization and equipment, in answer to the President's call in June, 1916, when the Mexican Border situation threatened the honor of our country. In two weeks' time this Negro unit was en route, and served for months on the border, while the Third Infantrymen (white), at Fort Myer, Virginia, whiled away the summer in trying to complete its quota. It would interest the public to know that the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia National Guard did valuable guard duty here in the Capital before going to France. To their honor fell, the guarding of the War Department and other structures, the railway bridges and approaches, the water works, the power plants, the ammunition factories, the terminal railway station and tunnels. Let the public know that the Negro unit lost its identity in the First Battalion of 372nd (Negro) Regiment at Newport News before sailing for France. Be it known that not a few of these black boys won the coveted "Croix de Guerre" in our country's battles abroad. Inform the public that this entire Negro regiment was decorated by an official citation of the French government for bravery and military achievements in battle. Be it known to the public that the French government decorated every man in this regiment (in which the District Négro soldiers are a unit) with the official insignia of a military citation for their deeds of daring and valor. Let the public know that many of these black men, that have served in public and private positions here, contributing their lot to the citizenship of the District, now sleep forever in the graves by the banks of the Meuse, the Argonne Forest, the hills of, Yerdun, the trench line of the Vanquois and the Champlain and the fields of Grandpre. They fought like soldiers and died like men for the glory of their country and its flag. And, since the great French Republic honored these black boys by the citation—an honor that fell to no other District of Columbia unit, surely it cannot be the intention of our journalist here at home to temper or modify the just verdict of the French military chiefs by completely ignoring, or obscuring, the illustrious military record of the First Separate Battalion, the efficiency of its officers, their well earned promotion, and the universal recognition they won for their race, the honor they bring to the District of Columbia, the glory they imparted to their country, the sacred heritage of liberty that they bequeathed to the world. Sergeant Greenleaf B. Johnson, Company B. 372nd Infantry, U. S. A. (Formerly First Separate Battalion. District of Columbia National Guard.) WHY NOT A REWARD? The police department has not offered a reward for the apprehension of the party or parties who murdered Alexander Warren. Young Warren was a reputable business man, and why a reward has not been offered for the murderers the Bee, as well as the people, would like to know. REV. ALEX. WILLBANKS, D. D. The Greatest Colored Evangelist of the Age—The Man Who Is in Demand—His Itinerary in the East. Rev. Alexander Willbanks was born of humble parentage in a little village in Brookville, Miss. He doesn't know his age. His father's name was Andy Willbanks, and a slave, while his mother, Amanda Willbanks, was born of free parentage, and they were farmers. At the age of four years his parents moved to a town called Bolton, Miss. He was converted and baptized at the age of nineteen. When he came to this city some years ago as a delegate to the National Baptist Convention, Dr. Willbanks was called to the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, where he remained for five years or more. Then to the Friendship Baptist Church. He was also called to preach in Mt. Jezrel Baptist Church, of Alexandria, Va. He is today one of the best known and most popular evangelists in the United States. He is constantly in demand to conduct services in some of the largest churches in the United States. He left the city last Thursday evening to be gone some time. His itinerary is in some of the largest Eastern cities and leading churches. Great preparations are being made for his reception in the places to which he has been invited to speak. He will fill some of the leading pulpits in the East, and no doubt great results will be achieved. He had twenty-five to join his church last New Year's day, and the congregation gave him fifty dollars as a New Year's gift. GREAT TIMES AT THE TENTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. This church, of which Rev. Dr. Alexander Willbanks is pastor, stands in the far front in kindness to its pastor and wife. Dr. Willbanks was presented with an eighty dollar overcoat and a seventy-five dollar tailor-made suit of clothes and a fifteen dollar hat. Mrs. Willbanks was presented with a purse of forty dollars and many valuable presents. At watch night meeting twenty-six persons joined the church, eight of whom were for baptism, and fifty dollars was presented to Dr. Willbanks as a New Year's gift. On the first Sunday nineteen more persons joined the church during the two services. Dr. and Mrs. Willbanks will leave the city on Saturday morning for a great campaign in Pittsburgh, Pa., for ten or twelve days. Some of the leading pastors have invited him to shake the city with a mighty force, as he alone can do. Calls are coming in from all over the country for his services. He will start his big meeting here on his return from Pittsburgh. DR. SHEPARD TELEGRAPHS The Distinguished North Carolina Educator Sends a Message of Sympathy to Mrs. Roosevelt. Durham: N. C., Jan. 6.—Dr. James E., Shepard, president of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., for whom Ex-President Roosevelt had the highest esteem for the great work Dr. Shepard is doing here, sent a telegram of sympathy to Mrs. Roosevelt on learning of the death of her distinguished husband. 64 Germany's atrocious treatment of the colored in her African colonies is shown by the chains which find these hooves neck to neck and the windowless barricades into which they are locked at night. Work of the Red Cross of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. More than two thousand years ago, while shepherds watched their flocks by night, the angels heralded the birth of Christ, our King. On down the line, church and state, high and low, king and peasant alike, celebrate Christ day. The Metropolitan Baptist Church on this Christ day added a new feature to their celebrating of this day of all days. At 10 o'clock Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Drs. J. Hayden Johnson and E. H. Allen, and Mr. C. H. Stockton, had automobiles at the doors of this splendid edifice to convey Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, secretary of the Harriet Tubman Branch of the American National Red Cross, and a committee from the three Red Cross units of the church, to the Walter Reed General Hospital and bring down to divine worship at 11 o'clock all the colored boys of that medical home. The church was packed, not only to celebrate the birth of Christ, but to welconie the boys from overseas, many with empty sleeves and upturned trouser legs, all to join in and sing "Unto us is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." The three Red Cross units had made elaborate preparations for this day. It was an inspiring sight when file after file of our boys, clad in khaki and blue, on crutches and canes, came down the aisle in that ancient landmark dedicated to God and to the Baptist denomination, years and years ago. That peerless, fearless and watchfulness orator, Dr. M. W. D. Norman was at his best. Some men (many had not been in a church for months) were lifted up. Soldiers and civilians alike praised God. At the close of these services that immense audience stood while the soldiers and sailors passed out and down stairs, where dinner was served to sixty-two. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Parker; blessed by Dr. Norman. Lieut. Pinkston, lately returned from France wounded, was with these soldiers for dinner. It was a typical old-time turkey dinner, cooked and served in style equal to that of the White House. At the close of the dinner every boy was presented with "smokes" and a big Christmas pack- age, containing a gift and "eats" for another time. At 3 o'clock automobiles conveyed these brave boys to War Camp Community Service Club, No. 3, to attend a smoker, and at night a reception in their honor. As the boys look back to the weary, hard and tiresome days on the battlefield, and the dreary nights in foreign lands and in hospitals, there will loom up in the midst of the scene a bright shining star that will illumine the scene, and over it all among the other things will Christmas day with the Red Cross at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The Red Cross units of this church are officered by Captains F. M. Robinson, Aurelia Winfree, Essie Coleman, First Lieutenants Ella Lewis, M. L. Pollard, Edna Sharps, Second Lieutenants Emma Allen, Mattie Young and Emma Brown. These units have been actively engaged in making garments, knitting sweaters, etc., for the boys since the war began. Captain Robinson has been exceedingly active, and being the senior captain, has done much to assist all in this good work. PROF. N. E. WEATHERLESS. Prof. Nelson E. Weatherless makes good wherever he is put. As grand master of Masons, he had no superior and few equals. As a teacher and member of the examining committee with Miss Briggs, the people are receiving a square deal. You don't hear of unfairness, discrimination and the like in the school examinations, which have heretofore been so notorious in the colored public schools. No man makes a better executive officer than Prof. Weatherless. The greatest blunder the Masons ever made was when they retired him as grand master. The organization has not been on the map since. ATTORNEY WILLIAMS VISITS ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Atlanta. Ga.-Attorney Charles S. Williams, formerly of this city; now practicing law in Washington, D.C., made a visit to his old home during the holidays. His old friends were glad to see him. He visited many of his old landmarks while in the city and for a week he was a social factor. Notwithstanding the bad weather of Thursday, January 2d, there was a good audience at the Garnett Community Center. President Daniel Freeman presided and opened the meeting with a short introductory address, and Mrs. A. G. Grier, community secretary, made her report: The address of the evening was by Attorney Fountain Peyton, who said: To get together, to know one another, to understand each other, to exchange ideas and opinions and engage, in free discussion—in this way the community's needs are brought forward and the community's demands are backed by a force that will compel attention. "The general principles underlying community centers, are not new. They were recognized and practiced in the early history of this country. It was the meetings of citizens in the New England town halls where the spirit of liberty was born and where independence was inspired and fanned to a flame. Solomon has wisely said 'there is no new thing under the sun.' These centers are mere modifications of the town-hall meetings to meet twentieth century conditions. "I need not call attention to the service these centers have already rendered. To my mind, the service already rendered will justify all the money that may be appropriated for their maintenance for many years to come. No other agency could have organized and inspired our people to support the Government in its last great struggle with such unanimity and disinterestedness. Here, and here alone, we have a pure democracy, and we should employ it to reflect the noblest impulses of the age in which we live, and should hand it down to our children as a cherished heritage." HARRY BROWN Persons going to the O Street Market and wanting fresh meats of all kinds, should not fail to visit the stand of Mr. Harry Brown, one of Washington's landmarks. For years Mr. Brown has been a great figure in the O Street Market. It is the largest meat stand in the O Street Market. Ask for Harry Brown, he is known to all Washingtonians. Competent Colored Applicants Rejected—Mrs. Hall Has a Son Fighting to Make the World Better and She Gets a Jolt. Mrs. Ida S. Hall, one of the most competent women in the city and who has a son in France fighting to make the world a safe place to live, received a setback from 1910 to 1910, as will be evidenced by the following letters which the readers of The Bee and all true Americans, are requested to read and digest: Certificate of Appointment—Original Department of Commerce and Labor—Bureau of the Census—Washington, D.C., August 18, 1910.

United States School Garden Army— U. S. S. G.—Washington. D. C. January 2, 1919. Mrs. Ida S. Hall. We find that we shall not be able to use your services as minor clerk in the United States School, Garden Army. AMERICAN FAIR PLAY. The following conversation took place between Mrs. Hall and Miss Fondersmith, the lady in charge at the time: "Miss Fondersmith asked me," said Mrs. Hall. "If I was working, and I said 'No,' and then asked if I had ever had any experience as a clerk. I told her I had, that I was a clerk in the Bureau of the Census, Agricultural Division, from 1910 to 1912. She then told me the work was very easy, just mailing. She asked me if she could reach me by phone. I told her she could not. So she told me she was going to make a few appointments the first of the year and that I would hear from her. January 3rd I received a letter saying my services as a minor clerk could not be used." Her letter will be read with interest above. AID WANTED NOW. Colored Soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital Complaining. The following comes from the War Department: Through the Federal Board for Vocational Education the Government, in connection with the War Department, will undertake to restore all of its soldiers to their former self-supporting activities, in recognition of the sacrifices they have made in the fight for the liberty of the world, and of the fact that they have given freely of the strength of their bodies in defense of their country's flag The government is of the opinion that the announcement of such a plan cannot fail to inspire confidence in the soldier that his material interests are being cared for by competent authority, and that the nation has no intention of forgetting his valued services and sacrifices. The centralization of this important matter under one directing agency cannot fail to make for efficiency and success. Wives, mothers and sisters of the brave fellows who went cheerfully to war, and who have come back to them with a broken body, from wounds, shell shock, gases, exposure, disease or accident, are asked by the government to back them up in their right for readjustment, and to urge them not to lose their ambition or enthusiasm in life, and through despondency become a charge or a burden to their loved ones. The government of the United States is able and willing to make provision to help the disabled American soldier overcome his handicaps and take his place as an independent worker among men. Full particulars as to the methods by which all soldiers may be restored to self-supporting activity may be obtained by addressing an inquiry to the Federal Board for Vocational Education, Washington, D. C., who will take up the matter directly, or refer inquiries to the district office of the board nearest their home cities. Fourteen districts in all have been organized in connection with this service, with headquarters located at the following places: District No. 1—Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The Michigan Negro Workers' Advisory Committee of the Department of Labor, under the direction of Mr. William Jennifer, Supervisor of Negro Economics for the State, recently held its first conference at Detroit. Eighteen industrial centers in the State and in the city of Detroit sent representatives to this conference. The speakers for the first session of the conference were Mr. J. V. Cunningham, Federal State Director, United States Employment Service; Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics, Department of Labor, who spoke of the work of the Department of Labor for the Negro in Industry, and Mr. Carl Young, President of the State Federation of Labor. Mr. Cunningham was the presiding officer for this session. Committees on Organization. Plan of Work and Woman's Work made their reports, which were discussed and approved; a constitution was drawn up and adopted for the state work and the State Committee was formally appointed. After an open and very lively discussion on the industrial situation as it relates to the Negro wage earner, Mr. M. M. Nesbit, Assistant State Federal Director, and Mr. A. A. Pole of the American Federation of Labor, spoke on the present-day industrial conditions and needs, and Mr. W. L. Sledge spoke on "Racial Adjustment." The women of the A. M. E. Church served a good dinner for the delegates. The conference was decidedly helpful, and each delegate left filled with inspiration for the betterment of the industrial condition of the state. The conference was a re-echo of the fine work being done by Mr. William Jennifer. At night a banquet was given by some of the leading Negroes of Detroit in honor of Dr. Haynes, who made a remarkable speech on the industrial racial situation. The Missouri State Conference was similar to that of the Michigan conference. The attendance was good, and delegates from different sections of the State told of the industrial situation in their respective sections. Mr. Forrester B. Washington, Supervisor of Negro Economics in Illinois, gave an account of the work of the' Illinois Negro Workers' Advisory Committee, and Mrs. Helen B. Irvin, Special Assistant in the Woman-in-Industry Service space on the function of the Woman-in-Industry Service. Mr. Paul W. Moseley, Examiner-in-Charge of the St. Louis Employment Office, made his report. State conferences of representatives of Negro wage earners, white employers, and white workmen have been held by the Department of Labor in Michigan and Missouri. Discussions of relations of white and colored workers and of employers and Negro wage earners resulted in co-operative advisory committees and plans for work to improve relations between white and Negro wage earners and their working conditions.

Born Nov. 3, 1892.—Your planets indicate that you will have a remarkable career. A life full of fight, but also a great deal of personal satisfaction and a great deal of happiness. You have found it hard to depend on others, but you must strike out in life through your own efforts and success and greatness will be yours, and you will not have to thank anyone, but yourself and God for your achievements in the years ahead of you. Marriage brings you a lot of joy, but at most unexpected times difficulties that are hard to light out, so they will have to be endured. Business brings you sudden changes and at times for the worse, but look ahead, do not fear, you will make a H P A S M V E R T U V X Y Z SUN GENUS NEPTUNE SATURN URANUS greater success and in shorter time than many of your friends will. Long trips are ahead of you for your benefit. Guard against certain dark people: they make you feel creepy; you feel you cannot trust them. You are deep, shrewd, clever, fit for a profession and for business. You can do things best when you are left to do them in your own way. I could say a lot more about you and your life, but space here is limited, hence as a parting word I will beg you to always restrain your temper and cultivate the sweetness in you to always be supreme. Born April 3, 1892.—You make a good and clever business woman and happy the man that has you, for you can plan for the home as well as for business, and you will never be at a loss in knowing what to do. You are very ambitious and are always anxious to improve your condition in life. You love the mysterious, also music and the fine arts. You will dispute for your own rights, but love a peaceful and congenial life. You are always a great help to others and in doing good. The Lord will bless you with a prosperous and happy life. You are progressive and very anxious to improve yourself in every way. I see you had many hardships and your life was endangered many times, but the road ahead of you is clearing and your life will be safer in the future. There is some serious trouble coming to your husband, as this is an evil year for him; he must be very careful. You have a long life, and a change is shown for you also a trip, and you must guard against a loss. You will never be poor. Born April 3, 1903.—You make a good trained purse. You are clever and careful with your hands and you have a bright mind. You are starting your way early in life and successful conditions are around you. There are troubles coming up for you this year; you must guard against sickness, accident, theft and troubles in many ways, as two evil stars have it in for you this year, and you must be careful or those things will happen. The stars do not compel; they create the vibrations that bring about conditions; but God and mind are masters, so pray earnestly and use your mind each day carefully and these evils may be avoided, and herein lies the beauty of the science of the stars; you can be warned in time and thus avoid the evil. My own stars indicated to me last year that I would be robbed; many of my valuable things would be gone. Did I worry? Yes, and no. I made it a point to let people know that I was away on certain nights; but I stayed at home and kept an eye out for that burglar, and, sure enough, he one night climbed up to the second-floor, opened the window, walked right into my treasure room, and as he began to help himself to some of my valuables I flashed the light on him, and I asked him what his wishes were in my apartment at that hour of the night. Of course, frightened, he said it was nothing. So I said I was waiting for him. "I saw you in my stars and I made sure you would get nothing." After giving him a good lecture, he crawled out of the same window and made a dash for liberty and he was glad, too, to get away that easy, because I could have made things very unpleasant for him, as I was forewarned by my stars, hence I forearmed myself. Now, to come back to your stars. They show man is very anxious to get in with you, but his motive is not for you. good, so beware of him. "In a way this year is much better for you than the last few years of your life; but, you must be very careful of certain men who will make love to you and want to marry you. This is not your marriage year, so do not let them fool you. Be pleasant, have good times, make friends, but do not make any promise for marriage this year. Your conditions for marriage are very favorable a few years, say two or three years, from now. You will marry and be happy, have a good husband and fine children, and you will be a good, proud mother and live a happy life. Born in March. You failed to say when in March. You are happy and you are not happy. You think you are in love with a certain man. Put your thoughts more in God and leave that man to his work and his own dear life and it will be so much better for you. When you love your love is strong and fiery, and you, are jealous, and your feelings are easily hurt. That man loves in a way, perhaps a pure way, so let it go at that and do not worry and brood because he does not show you more love. Perhaps he believes in the pure love, which is really the true love, and so be glad that you have his pure love, and do not accuse him, for it makes your life and his life miserable. Yes, his birthday and yours go well together, but both of you will never be married. You will marry in about a year or so a man whom you have not met yet. He will be brown, hold a good position and travel a lot. You will be happy. Stay where you are now, as the place is lucky for you. Look well after your health.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "The noblest Roman of them all," Col. Theodore Roosevelt, has passed to the great beyond. He was a man, true to his convictions and loyal to his country. He sacrificed self and sons for American liberty and independence. He defied man and beast and exercised a will power that no other American possessed. He opened the door of hope to the colored Americans and closed it when they had hoped to enter and have themselves crowned with the diadem of the Republic. He found guilty, innocent soldiers of the Republic who had given years of toil to uphold and to perpetuate a government in which freedom to the oppressed and faithful black allies is a mockery. No race had better hopes to enjoy the freedom of the door of hope which he claimed to have opened and so quickly closed. His hopes have been blasted, and today the black man stands with uncovered and bowed head and offers up his prayer to the memory of America's once great statesman, soldier, author and politician. The black man holds no malace toward those who treat him unjustly, and neither is he false or disloyal to a government which tails to protect him. He tenders his thanks to the dead statesman and soldier for the good he has done for him and erases from the tablet of his memory the wrongs he has inflicted upon him. For Theodore Roosevelt the faithful and loyal black allies of the Republic place upon his bier their sympathy and forgiveness of the wrongs inflicted upon those noble, brave, true and loyal colored soldiers who are today wanderers upon this earth. who are today wanderers upon this May he rest in peace, and may his deeds be emblazoned on the scroll of fame and handed down to posterity. Some people are of the opinion that because colored citizens purchase goods from many of the merchants in this city, it is no more than right and proper for these merchants to employ colored help. These merchants are under no obligation to employ colored help simply because colored people deal with them. Every effort has been made by certain colored men to establish similar stores to those established by white firms, in the hope of inducing colored citizens to patronize them, and, as a matter of fact, they have failed. The Bee has stated from time to time if the colored citizens would only be true and loyal to one another, they would be financial and commercial factors in this city. There is no man in this city who has made greater sacrifices to inaugurate race pride than has Mr. Ware, the proprietor of the Ware Shoe Store, 1830 Fourteenth Street. Certainly it is not because this firm fails to have the goods. There is not a greater or better saleswoman in this city than Mrs. Ware. She is one woman who knows her business and the value of shoes. Many of our girls who graduate from school are too proud to be taught commercial business. They all want to be teachers or clerks in some Government department. If there ever was a time for young colored women to become proficient in business than colored citizens that they have some within the race fully competent to do if they are given an opportunity. Many Southerners who have been brought to this city by virtue of the recent war presumed that colored young men and women were only fit to do menial work. The records of many departments show that these colored workers have met every requirement, and in many instances outclassed the whites. Now, get together in other commercial lines and show to the world that the black men and women are fully competent to do. There was a time when white physicians had a monopoly; drug stores conducted by white firms outnumbered the colored ten to one, and moving picture theatres were foreign to colored citizens. Today there are many high-class moving picture theatres in this city, and there are hundreds of colored people, known as "jim-crow" citizens, who today insist on stealing into movie theatres managed by white firms. Many of them think it smart to powder their faces and enter these theatres in disguise. There is one big theatre that presents some of the best performances that can be seen, and the actors are, in many instances, superior to the white actors. There is not a greater comedian in this country than Mr. Dudley, or a greater theatrical producer. The Quality Amusement Corporation is doing a great work in presenting each week at the Howard Theatre actors and actresses that are superior to those who have had better opportunities. Take, for instance, Babe Townsend, Miss Abbie Mitchell, Miss Loura Bowman, Miss Cleo Desmond, Walker Thompson, Tom Brown, Charles Olden Will Cook, Miss Susie Sutton, Charles Moore, Sidney Kirkpatrick Clarence Muse, who is regarded as the greatest actor among colored professionals and the equal of any white. This actor impersonate the character he assumes. There is no sameness in his make-up or the character he assumes. Miss Cleo Desmond also impersonate her characters. In fact, the entire company, with but a few exceptions, is made up of good men and women. Now, a word for Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, who comes in for unnecessary criticism—and why? Is it because he tries to please his patrons? He certainly runs an up-to-date theatre. He has succeeded where others of superior wealth and intellect have failed. He is a thorough business man, and you should take off your hat to him. You don't have to ask favors when you can accomplish a thing yourself. Some knockers blame certain white people for their failures. No man wants a drone. If you are not good to yourself, a white man nor no other man wants you. When you can convince a white thing yourself. man, or any other kind of individual, that you can do and are worthy of consideration, you will become a factor. But you must convince him that you are a man and can be depended upon. The man in office should pursue his official duties until he is able to resign and "paddle his own canoe." Let the black man convince his opponents that he is capable of doing, and then he will be respected. It is about time for the colored man to cease begging and whining and begin doing for himself. He deals too much in glittering generalities. Some of the best friends he has may be found in the white race. ends he has may be found in the world. "The fault, dear Brutus, is in ourselves and not in the stars." CAN IT BE TRUE? The Bee is in receipt of soldier, formerly connected with a District of Columbia National Guard, Reed Hospital since December, 1918, France, telling about the bad treatment colored soldiers. If the statement or stantiated, every nurse in the ward in confined should be removed and prosecuted soldier is most pathetic. The Bee is also informed that not these wounded and sick colored soldier ministers are called upon to act something for humanity, now is the time through the country with their hand be sent to France to the Peace Conflict the colored clergy of this city to go HOSPITAL and ask the sick and w they are treated and see for themselves its duty toward these faithful black a hospital. The Bee has been informed that described diet to colored soldiers, and w the nurse to the doctor's orders, they out the window. The matter has be department, but in the meantime the man in this city should visit this hospital. WHEN IT BECOMES NECESARY. The editor of The Bee is in receipt of a long letter from a colored soldier, formerly connected with the First Separate Battalion, District of Columbia National Guard, who has been at the Walter Reed Hospital since December, 1918, and who was wounded in France, telling about the bad treatment meted out to him and other colored soldiers. If the statement of this colored soldier is substantiated, every nurse in the ward in which this colored soldier is confined should be removed and prosecuted. The story of this colored soldier is most pathetic. The Bee is also informed that no colored minister ever visits these wounded and sick colored soldiers. Here is where the colored ministers are called upon to act. If they are anxious to something for humanity, now is the time to show it, instead of going through the country with their hands out, begging for money to be sent to France to the Peace Conference. The Bee suggests to the colored clergy of this city to go at once to WALTER REED HOSPITAL and ask the sick and wounded colored soldiers how they are treated and see for themselves if the Government is doing its duty toward these faithful black allies who are confined in this hospital. The Bee has been informed that nurses refuse to give the prescribed diet to colored soldiers, and when they call the attention of the nurse to the doctor's orders, they are threatened to be thrown out the window. The matter has been reported to the War Department, but in the meantime the many hundred colored ministers in this city should visit this hospital and investigate for themselves. In this world there is a great deal of hypocrisy. Race prejudice and race segregation find no quarters where there is an epidemic or some kind of disease in the country. Notwithstanding the great need of help by the Government during the late war many bureau chiefs found it convenient to discriminate against competent colored applicants who had passed successfully the examination for various positions in the Government departments. Many of these chiefs made every effort to reject worthy colored men and women on account of their color. A change was not made in the conditions that then existed in the departments and many of the large department stores, until God sent "Death Flu." Any kind of help was sought for, except in some of the Government departments. That same old segregated disease still remained in the hearts of those who had no love for the colored people. It continues to exist in many of the Government departments. The day is coming, as in the days when the Lord sent plagues to pay their respects to Pharaoh. Old Pharaoh refused to yield, and God got tired of pleading with this old hardened sinner and finally put him where he has been rotting ever since. Similar conditions will surely exist and be visited upon those who insist on persecuting God's righteous. You see what "Death Flu" did in such a short time. The South had better turn a right-about-face and repent. The time is coming when it will be too late. The black man has been bearing the burdens long enough. When it becomes necessary to have assistance segregation and discrimination have no quarters. The time will soon come when the color of your skin will be no harm to your existence. MAKE HIS WAY. Elsewhere in The Bee will be read with interest the correspondence between Mrs. Ida S. Hall, highly respectable and educated colored American, who, after being notified that a position awaited her, was flatly turned down after having presented herself for appointment. Long before this country entered the recent war the question was asked the editor of The Bee whether conditions for the colored race would be better. Indeed, the broad declaration was Receipt of a long letter from a col- with the First Separate Battalion, Bard, who has been at the Walter 1918, and who was wounded in ment meted out to him and other of this colored soldier is sub- in which this colored soldier is prosecuted.

He said conditions in this country for the colored race would be worse. It is up to the black-man to make conditions better. There is a way to do it, and it must be done. If the race could get rid of the trimmers and apologists, conditions would be much better. So far as The Bee is concerned, it intends to follow its own leadership and repudiate these hand-picked individuals who are designated by certain white people to represent colored Americans. The young woman, Mrs. Hall, has no redress. The hand-picked colored gentlemen can do her no good, and, if they could, they are afraid to go forward. What Is Said About Madame Sober's Hair Grower. Read the Testimonials That Will Appear From Time to Time in The Bee. "I wish to state that when I started the use of Soberine my head was covered with artificial hair because of a condition that no one had been able to master. My temples were completely bald more than three inches back. I had despaired, when I was advised to try Soberine. After a few months I discarded the piece from my temples and my hair is growing beautifully. I highly recommend Soberine to all. Mary Sayles, 429 R St. N. W., Washington, D. C. —advt. WHY? Why have thin, short hair? Beautiful hair always creates admiration and is the most delightful of social charms. If you are minus this charm have no further worry. Give your scalp troubles to Soberine, Mme. Sober's Guaranteed Hair Grower. You will soon forget you ever had any scalp troubles. Try it. THE BEAUTY CULTURIST Returns to the City After a Delightful Time in the East. New York City.—One of the most pleasing and entertaining ladies in the city is Madame Mary M. Smith. She has a most genial and fascinating disposition and it is sunshine wherever she goes. Madame Smith spent her holidays in this city, where she is always a congenial figure. She received much social attention and theatre and other parties have been tendered her. She has many friends and admirers here who stand ready at all times to welcome her. She will leave for Washington next week. Madame Mary M. Smith, head of the Madeline Beauty Parlor in this city, arrived from New York City last week. She had a most delightful stay, and returns to the city highly pleased with her holiday trip. All delinquent subscribers to The Bee are requested to send in their arrears at once.

BALTIMORE PLAYERS GIVE NEW YEAR'S DAY PLAY IN THIS CITY. A large and representative audience gave a hearty welcome to the Musical Art Club Players at the Howard New Year's afternoon. The play, called "Ship Ahoy," and mentioned on the program as a musical bouquet, did not depend on a plot for the interest. There was a skeleton of a plot, but it never worked out. It was not advertised as a professional performance, and while somewhat amateurish, there were bright spots. In the first act Carrington cracked some new jokes, both timely and witty. He sang the Dixie melodies very well. Miss Carpenter and Miss Coleman were well received, the latter being called back for her Red Cross song. The stringed instrument number was well rendered, and the numbers played on cow bells received a very cordial reception. Madame Burnidene Mason sang several numbers in fine style and was recalled several times. Miss Coleman, giving imitations of famous players, made quite a hit. Miss Johnson sang very well, but unfortunately was interrupted by some very coarse language by some one who could not appreciate good singing. The players deserve credit for their performance, though, to tell the truth, there was a lack of vim and spirit, which detracted from its interest. A number of well known Washingtonians were patrons, and the large attendance and hearty applause must have been very gratifying to the visitors. T. A.

R. Brown, of Washington, are now enjoying the hospitality of their sons and daughters and other Western friends. They are in this city the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Floyd, their son-in-law and daughter; Mrs. Georgia M. Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brown; Mrs. Rebecca Graham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, and Mr. Harry Brown, their son. Mrs. Brown, of Washington, who has been in St. Louis for, a number of years with her children, was a central figure among the hosts and hostess to greet her husband on his arrival in St. Louis, and one of the hostesses to do him honor. A most splendid reception was tendered Mr. W. R. Brown at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Floyd Saturday evening January 4th, in one of the most fash- tionable sections of the book. Besides those mentioned as hosts and hostesses, Mr. and Mrs. Georgia Rausch, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Rawlings, Mr. Aaron Burgess, Mrs. Carroll Henry, Mesdames Viola Jamison and Green, Mr. H.

Mr. Brown was shown the town and the keys of the city were given to him and the handsome limosine in which he was driven through and around the city was the best St. Louis could afford. Mr. Brown left the city Monday, to the regret of everybody. No two citizens are better known to the people of Washington than Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Brown. HOWARD THEATER. "Seeing Chinatown," a musical pot pourri, and a sort of cosmopolitan jamboree, is pleasing large crowds at the Howard this week. Beginning with a session of the Linie Kiln Club, the play proceeds more to please with its Negro dialect and catchy music, and ends with a picture of Chinatown, with its murders and Chinese characteristics. Sidney Kirkpatrick presides as president of the club, and later as the sport in Chinatown. His robust voice is very pleasing in the songs he sings. Townsend poses as Give a Dam Jones, and looks the part. His songs are well received, and the program gives him credit for the staging of several of the numbers which reflect credit on his ability. Miss Mitchell is the central figure in the singing of the more classical numbers, which she renders in a very delightful manner. Miss Bowman as Sarah Jane Shimmerhorn as usual brings out all the humor to be found in her parts. Her singing is of a very high order. Miss Sutton won the greatest amount of applause with her "Minnie, Shimme for Me." It was a great number, with some very weighty movements. Call after call was given for this number. Miss Gargas also has an opportunity to show the quality of her very pleasing voice. Her numbers were very well received. Cook also is given credit for staging the numbers he leads, and he won much applause by his eccentric movements. Mores again demonstrated that he has a good voice, and Moseley gave the first demonstration here that he has a singing voice. De Comathier was good. The ladies' costumes are very beautiful, and is not the least pleasing part of the show. The chorus is well trained and sings well. It also gives promise of attracting a large delegation to "bald head row. As a change of diet the show is very welcome. The Week in Society BOARD'S.

Attorney Lewis Waring, the author of "As We See It," a book written by him some time ago, was in the city this week the guest of his sister and brother-in-law, Dean L. B. Moore and wife. Attorney Waring, who is on a health mission by overwork, left Monday morning for Baltimore, and thence to New York. Mr. Waring is one of the best criminal lawyers at the New York bar. Miss Beatrice Holton of 400 3rd Street N. E., received New Year's Day, assisted by her sister, Miss Susie Holton, and Miss Edna Scott: The house was beautifully decorated with holly and poinsettia.

HALLS HILL, VA. On account of the day being a very inclement one, Judge Terrell failed to put in his appearance. The community was very well represented and a program arranged accordingly. However, Mr. J. B. Tynner was present, as advertised, and was accompanied by Rev. Dr. Powell, pastor of Second Baptist Church of Falls Church, Va. Mr. T. W. Hyson, president of the association, made the introduction and in very flowery terms introduced Mr. D. B. Anderson, of African birth, as master of ceremonies, who, being in charge, introduced Rev. Dr. Powell, who is known to be a pulpit orator. We were very exaltingly entertained. We were made to feel our every-day needs in his practical and scholarly manner. After being favored with a musical selection, Mr. J. B. Tynner was introduced, and was heartily welcomed to the stand. He has always lived among us. He said he felt greatly honored, and, as was said by the great and noble hero of the race, Frederick Douglass, when being asked where he graduated, replied "in the university of adversity." All who heard Mr. Tynner's excellent address might ask the same question. Indeed, the majority of us are members of that institution. But we are falling in line. Mr. Tynner made a strong appeal for the people to organize and as a consequence a goodly number paid up subscriptions to the N. A. A. C. P. A short supplementary program followed.

Tyler returns to the States he will have a remarkable story to tell. Mr. Tyler could not tell the story as he saw it because of the sensor. But, believe me, he will tell some story when he arrives. The Sage knew all along that things abroad were all going wrong. You can just bet that the smoked Yankee made the best soldiers. If you will just put a few guns in the hands of the Southern colored brother lynching would cease. The Governors of the Southern States would not have to publish rewards for the capture of lynchers or have someone to identify them. The verdict of a coroner's jury would be the colored man or woman died at the hands of a mob consisting of John Doe, Amos Doe, Jack Doe, Bill Doe and a hundred others whose bodies may be viewed at the "morg" or at the door on the premises of their would-be victims. State governments would not have to go to the expense of furnishing detectives to ferret out the perpetrators. When a man thinks that he is too smart to murder the King's English he has other faults more dangerous to society. Some men have an idea that they know it all and nobody can teach them anything. Such individuals may be found among professional men. A well educated professional man seldom shows his egotism. My good friend Thomas L. Jones who resides at that magnificent house 1901 Vermont Avenue N. W., has been ill for two weeks or more. The Sage has been out of town for some time and has been unable to visit his friend. Information reaches me however, that he was visited last Sabbath afternoon by his entire church membership. The sisters would always look after their kind chairman of the Trustee Board. They will come miles to see that he wants for nothing. He is a favorite in the Trinity Baptist Church. Speaking of Jones, he was struck with the "flu" a few weeks ago and had a close call. Several of his friends called to see if the barrister was in need, but were afraid to venture into his bedroom until the madame, who is a gem of a housekeeper, assured the barrister that there was no danger, as his fever was below tidewater. A few were ushered into his bedroom, or rather they got as far as the door. I started off to tell you what I heard when the church sisters called. They were not there long before one of them suggested prayer. Tom said that he was too stiff to kneel, so he would be compelled to stand. A fervent prayer was offered up, and at its conclusion the patient thought he had beer greatly benefited. He felt like taking an automobile spin, but his faithful spouse would not permit him. I don't care what others may think of Jones; he has a good heart, and if you visit his home you will be convinced that he has all the comforts of life. The way to judge a man's character is by his home comforts. There is nothing better than home comfort: Suppose some who are at the head of a few local organizations had the same power in municipal affairs as they have in the organization they head. Well, the last Republican administration had more boneheads than you could count on your right hand. I saw John C: Dancey a few days ago, and he looks as robust as ever. He was on the hunt of his partner, Judge Terrell. The Judge had gone to Halls Hill to deliver a speech. A thought struck Dancey that he saw an announcement in The Bee. It was raining that night to beat the band. This didn't deter Dancey a minute. He just ran his hands into his jeans and paid the price of an automobile. He was at Halls Hill about the time the Judge was. Dancey wouldn't think of allowing the Judge to go alone twenty miles in Virginia without a bodyguard. Now, here comes the People's Funeral Corporation. The deeper the investigators go into the books the worse the situation is. Twelve thousand dollars' worth of stock sold, besides twenty thousand dollars' worth of business or more last year, and but a few dollars in the hands of the treasurer. Does the treasurer hold the funds, or the president? There is one thing certain—the president has been checking out the funds. He does all the checking. There is some talk of criminal action being taken by the stockholders if the money is not accounted for. Some startling disclosures are looked for. The people are warhed not to put any more money into this corporation until a FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY PORO SYSTEM ST. LOUIS, MO. "PORO" COLLEGE COMPANY St. Louis, Mo. Dept.

Somebody has named Madame Walker as a delegate to the Peace Conference. Was she named for her money or for her ability to do nothing on her arrival in France? Perhaps if Dorsey Foutz were in town he would be named also. These peace delegates will be able to do as much as Dorsey. I understand that a "jim-crow" peace conference will be called in France by American self-appointed and otherwise delegates. Just how much money there will be is a question of conjecture. I understand, however, that this "jim-crow" conference has already had under advisement just what the colored brother wants in America. Editor Trottier, who wants to sail at once, hasn't collected a sufficient amount of funds as yet, and he, too, has some thoughts to impose upon the conference. His first suggestion will be how to make the Guardian a great national organ. The Baptist and Methodist conferees have decided to suggest to the Peace Conference the propriety of uniting all the Baptist and Methodist churches. All churches at the conference will be represented except the Episcopal, Catholic and Presbyterian churches. Brothel Hawkins will insist on his fourtee questions that he suggested some time ago, and which appeared in The Bee. The colored French general will be at this conference, I understand, or he will have a genuine representative at the conference, who will watch the interests of the black Frenchmen. France is a grateful republic and their black allies will fight and demand what is right and just. The Sage will have some of the arguments that the "jim-crow" conferences will debate in its next issue. ITEMS ON THE WING. The M. W. G.

International Game Card No. 374 A General House Cleaning Expected—Thorns and Thistles for the Peace of the World—In the Name of God, What Have They Done?—The Crucifixion of the Righteous and Just. Editor of The Bee. It is indeed very regretful that we—the American people—must pass out of the old year with many of her revolting deeds of trials and tribulations into an unchanged new year. There should have been a general house cleaning on the American continent preparatory to the incoming of 1919. And we fear that the overlooking of this much-needed house cleaning will be but thorns and thistles in the pathway of the attempted establishment of a world peace. For how can there be anything like world peace with one nation of people enjoying all of the rights of mankind while the rights of others are being flagrantly denied them? And this brings us to the sad thought of the continued lynching of the colored race here in the United States of America. This willful murdering business, such as lynching colored men, women and children; this chaining to the stake and poking hot irons down the throats of men and burning their eyes out; this emboweling of poor, helpless colored women, who be pregnant with their young, is a stench to the nostrils of all fair and law-abiding people, and belong only to Christian (?) America. For no other nation of people have become wise (?) and Christianized (?) enough to get down so low in the scales of barbarity. When our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was token by a Jewish mob before Pilate to be crucified, and when they (the Jews) were clamoring for His death, Pilate said, "Why what evil hath he done?" And of all the abuse that's being heaped upon the colored people by the damnable lawless lynching mobs, and being sanctioned by the silence of the white pulpits; I rise to ask, in the name of the once crucified Savior, "Why, what evil (any more than any other race of people) have they done?" I beg here the indulgence of the readers, further to make a friendly suggestion. Now that the war has been won (thank God) and the colored boys fought bravely and heroically, and now that they are returning to their homes, especially those whose homes are in the lynching South, I beg to suggest (for the sake of helping along with the so-called world peace) that all of the colored soldiers going South should shed their United States uniforms before they put their feet on the "hallowed ground" of the South. For the uniform on a "nigger," or the Stars and Stripes in his hands, for that matter, is like holding up a red flag before a bull when he (the nigger) gets in sight of the lynching mobs in that "holy land." So, colored soldiers, as proud as you must be of helping your country to win that terrible war of wars, you may be the means of winning another war by the simple act of leaving your uniforms north of that "holy land" whose ground has been hallowed (?) by the blood of your brethren, while, perhaps, you were overseas striving in the trenches of death to make it (the South) a safe place in which to live. The doings of the damnable lynching mobs over here must be very embarrassing to our President and his co-workers for liberty and democracy in far-away France. For such lawlessness is not only enough to cause the allied powers to bow their heads in shame, but it is enough to cause sad, weeping among the demons in hell! Shall such lawlessness be carried over into 1919? May a merciful God forbid it! There should be a house cleaning here in the United States of America. And without it the billions of dollars spent, and the sacrificing of millions of precious lives will all have been in vain! lives will all have been The colored people are entitled to the full enjoyment of the winning of this war. They answered "here am I" to every call made by Uncle Sam. Indeed, they bought their part of this liberty and democracy. They bought it in Liberty Bonds; they bought it in War Savings Stamps; they bought it in giving freely to the Red Cross, and, last and best of all, they bought it by shedding their precious blood for it in the very trenches of hell "over there." And this being true, the colored people are not looking for any special gift. They simply want what they have bought and paid for. And, like Rachel weeping for her children, and will not be comforted, they, too, will not be comforted with anything less. But respecting our treatment here, let us not forget to put our trust in God. And while our white friends are praying for the slain in Belgium, France and other places, let us ask them to remember us also when they bow at the throne of grace. We should not only ask the prayers of our white friends, whose tender feelings seem to be very much hurt because of the brutal treatment of those who know but little or nothing, but we should ask the prayers of the poor Belgian sufferers them selves. And as we believe there is much efficacy in prayer, we would ask for the prayers of Kaiser Bill were it not for the fact that the Good Book tells us "The prayers of the wicked prevaileth nothing." We wonder what the War Department will do about the brutal lynching of the colored soldier in uniform a few days ago. It is time for this government to get in dead earnest and break up lynching in this country. The colored man will not always stand for this kind of treatment. He will some day think something like this: If I can stand against the brutal Germans in the trenches I can stand against the cowardly lynchers on the level. But let us all seek diligently for that world peace. COLORED SOLDIER LYNCHED. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters in New York city, makes public two telegrams, one addressed to Governor Augustus O. Stanley of Kentucky, regarding the lynching in Hickman, Ky., on December 16th, of a Negro soldier recently discharged during the demobilization period. The Negro was charged with resisting arrest and beating Deputy Sheriff Thomas. In the opinion of the Association, this lynching has a tremendous significance in that the victim, Charles Lewis, had at the request of the government entered the service of the United States Army where he was prepared, if necessary to lay down his life to see that the ideals of democracy were perpetuated and that America was free from the V danger of being subjected to German domination. The details in the dispatches in the New York papers are very meager, but they show that the Negro was lynched in the day time by a number of masked men. The Association recognizes the stand of Governor Stanley against lynching by reason of the fact that in January, 1917; he personally prevented a mob, at Murray, Kentucky, from lynching a Negro. The Association's telegram urges that the Governor use every power at his command to see that the members of the mob that lynched Lewis are punished to the full extent of the law.

The Falls Church branch has begun spreading its propaganda to furnish the white citizens of the county of influence with facts and opinions concerning colored people in the country. This is because the press seems determined not to talk very favorably or otherwise about us. Copies of Rev. Dr. Grimke's Victory sermon have been mailed to many citizens following a form letter stating the purpose of the organization in so mailing literature. The Branch has also addressed a letter to the Baptist Sunday School Publication Society stating that in its belief a most valuable warning has been lost to the American people in not drawing a parallel between the oppression and reasons for such of the Hebrews in Egypt and the Negroes in America. Last Sunday's lesson as appearing in the quarterly and in local Washington papers illustrate the condition by reference to Belgians, Serbs, Poles and Armenians.
