Proclamation CALL MADE ON EVERY COLORED MAN AND WOMAN Edmund H. Armstrong, President National Association Consolidation of the Colored Race, to Open the Campaign for Millions of The National Association for the Consolidation of the Colored Race calls on every colored man and woman to enroll with a thrill of pride ready to serve, in the fulfillment of the highest ideals of the race, asking nothing in return save that it may share in the triumph of justice and in humanity. This achievement cannot be obtained without great expense and consolidation, but, true to our promises, the N. A. C. C. R. is dealing with this great problem as a job just our size. This organization does not ask its members to burden themselves by paying large sums year after year without results. It provides a method by which you are daily benefited, sharing in its many enterprises at the cost of one penny a day to you for membership. But in its campaign for millions of members it does ask you to become a member (the best investment the world affords) that of placing members of our race in Congress to abolish lynching and stop the many injustices practiced upon our people. This step is to give members of the race a voice in Congress. To voice your sentiments is the safest, surest and only way to stop lynching and New York. March 9.—As the colored soldiers return from France, landing at the port here, it is noted that, without exception, they resent Principal Moton's advice to them to return "modestly and unassumingly." They regard that advice as a gratuitous insult. Had these colored soldiers of ours conducted themselves routously over in France it would not have been ceisurable for Principal Moton of Tukegee to have accepted that "special mission" to France to counsel that our soldiers who fought so bravely and endured so much to complacently accept on their return jim-crow cars, denial of rights and privileges as a reward for their, dyeing the battlefields of France with their blood that foreign countries might have democracy. It may be that Principal Moton was misquoted in Paris and American newspapers, but the fact that more than three years have elapsed since the newspapers reported the veiled criticism of his wife for presuming to take passage on a sleeping car in the South, without denying the newspaper statement, the concensus of opinion among colored people is that he did make the statement accredited to him. When returning from battlefields, upon which they fought so bravely and valiantly, our boys conducted themselves "modestly and unassumingly." as every true soldier does. When returning with prisoners, after a daylight raid into German trenches, they returned "modestly and unassumingly." They were never boastful, never offensive, but, as they have a right to be, they are proud of their record in France—they are brave and courageous. Stripped of all verbiage, to the returning colored soldiers Principal Moton's advice appears as advice that they should return servial, that they should forget their crosses of honor and their losses of brave comrades who fell on crimsoned battlefields, and accept Southern autocracy in the United States in place of the democracy they enjoyed in France. Getting down to the core of the thing, I had that not only the col- all forms of discrimination which retards our progress. There is no danger that the interest derived thereof will fail; your anxiety will no longer rise and fall like the billows; but, in addition, your whole life will be comforted by the satisfaction of knowing that through your penny a day and the National Association for the Consolidation of the Colored Race the common rights of mankind will ever be the people's. Our race has never failed to respond to a single call, whether for our sons, our labor or our lives. To make others happy you have voluntered your services in all the big events from the Boston massacre to the time of the signing of the armistice last November. Always ready and never flinching. Will you flinch now? Lynching is a form of anarchy, whether the person lynched is black or white. They must be discouraged by all means. If one crowd of people can lynch a person, whether he is innocent or guilty, another crowd can stop lynching by sending proper representation to Congress. The N. A. C. C. R. and your penny will do so. One never knows who will be the next victim of lynching. You have never faltered in the past. When this call comes you will respond with a zeal to carry your race over the top. All together, now. Let us show the world. ored soldiers and their relatives regard Principal Moton's unfortunate advice as a gratuitous insult, but they are suspicious that Principal Moton is attempting to Wilsonize the race—commit it to an administration whose policy for six years has been to segregate the race—turn back the hands on our dial of progress. A lamented colored bishop, moth-like, once flew about the Wilson candle and regretfully was singed. Principal Moton ought to profit by the experience of others. One thing sure—he, if he would, cannot commit our brave returning colored soldiers, nor their ten millions of kinsmen, to the democracy of the present national administration—a democracy that denies to our brave, vailed-barred, battle-scarred returning colored heroes, rights and privileges specifically bestowed by the Constitution. The returning colored soldiers—those 200,000 overseas fighters—resent. I find, Principal Moton's implied advice to accept without complaint, and, as a matter of course, jim-crow cars, segregation and damnable discrimination. Republican United States Senators served notice upon President Wilson that they would not adopt his draft of a constitution for a league of nations. Colored heroes from France and their kinsmen just as effectively are serving notice on President Wilson's colored "special" emissary. Principal Moton, that they want the rights and privileges their services and blood purchased on the battlefields of France, and NOT a Southernized democracy. Personally, Principal Moton is a delightful gentleman. He has merely made an unfortunate error, which colored soldiers can forgive, but not forget. Columbia Lodge of Elks. No. 85. L. B. P. O. of E., held their regular monthly social hour at their home, 911 T Street N. W., last Sunday. The home was packed with friends and members, who were treated to an excellent program. Mrs. Charlotte Seabrooke, a food demonstrator connected with the Agricultural Department, was the principal speaker. Her subject was, "Are You in Partnership With Your Wife on the Business Side of the Household?" She is a pleasing speaker, and her talk was highly appreciated by the many ladies and men present. The Elks' Band, led by Prof. Miller, gave two fine selections, and the male quartette, led by Capt. Hunt, rendered several selections with pleasing effect. Miss Ida Plummer, one of the city school teachers, entertained the audience with an interesting short talk. The social hours of Columbia Lodge have grown quite popular and are a splendid treat to the members and their friends. They are held the second Sunday of each month and are open to the public. Rev. Taylor Pours Oil on the Troubled Waters. Sunday, March 2nd, while the church was filled with persons awaiting the funerals of two deceased members, a student dentist is said to have committed an assault upon a young man whose mother is president of one of the largest clubs in the church. It is also claimed that the young man who assaulted the other was called before the deacon board, of the church and was requested to apologize, which he refused to do. Therefore a motion was made to excommunicate the offender, but the pastor, who believes in peace and harmony, suggested that, both parties shake hands, and this ended the matter. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL Durham. N. C., March 13. By meeting its obligations promptly, maintaining its policy of thrift and economy throughout the period of the war, and also enrolling a full quota of students, the National Training School in this city has doubled its claim upon its friends as being worthy of their most liberal support and confidence. Not a single member of the faculty or student body regrets having invested either money or service in aid of winning the war. They followed the advice given to them by their president and leader, Dr. James E. Shepard, who also put in much time in securing institutions for military service, going so far as placing the buildings of the institution at the service of the Government. Dr. Shepard's services as a speaker and an educator are constantly in demand. In order to serve the public as liberally as possible, Dr. Shepard has arranged his business at the school so as to enable him to fill the following engagements: On Tuesday, March 18th, he will speak at Roanoke, Va., at a great welcome home to the soldiers. On Thursday, March 20th, Dr. Shepard will deliver an address at the State Normal School at Nashville, Tenn. From Nashville, Dr. Shepard will go to Louisville, Ky., and thence to Detroit, Mich. On April 11th, Dr. Shepard will address the forum at the First Congregational Church, at Jersey City, N. J. NO FURTHER USE FOR THEM. Colored Men Deported-An Appeal to the Department of Labor. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, of New York, has called the attention of Secretary of Labor Wilson and the Pennsylvania authorities to the wholesale deportation from Coatesville, Pa., of Negroes who during the war were employed in the various industries, but who are now unemployed as a result of the shutting down of these industries. William B. Dickson, vice-president of the Midvale Steel and Ordnance Company, has also been asked to insure humane treatment of these men. The association offers to cooperate in any way possible with the Department of Labor in seeing that fair treatment is accorded these men who have served the nation in its war industries, and protest, against arbitrary arrest and deportation of men who, it says, have met as critical a need as have the soldiers who fought in the trenches. The substance of the telegram to Secretary Wilson follows. Similar telegrams were sent to Gov. William C. Sproul of Pennsylvania and to the Mayor of Contesville. March 4, 1919. Hon. William B. Wilson, It is alleged that Negro workmen being discharged from Coatesville steel plants are being deported by State constabulary. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People emphatically protests against arrest and deportation of unemployed workers who have served nation in war industries, and earnestly urges your immediate attention to critical situation: Coatesville was scene few years ago of serious race riot. This association will cooperate with your department in any way possible and will meet your representative on the ground if requested. John R. Shillady. EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATION HOLDS ROUSING MEETING Makes Appeal to the Government—John H. Hurley, the Great Labor Leader, Received an Ovation—His Great Speech for Justice and Fair Play Applauded Editor Chase Unanimously. Elected Honorary Member. The first and only labor organization in the United States in which white and colored citizens meet for a common cause is the City Employment Association of the District of Columbia. This organization met in the Cadets' Armory Thursday evening. March 6th, with President John H. Hurley in the chair, who delivered one of the most eloquent and pointed speeches one would like to hear. This organization is composed of men who rule the city, and it is composed of the per diem employees in the sewer, water and surface departments of the city. This was a protest meeting against the proposed 25 per cent reduction of their wages. They unanimously disapproved of the attitude of the Commissioners of the District in sanctioning a 25 per cent wage reduction for failure of the third deficiency bill to pass this Congress. These men, who represent all divisions of the city public service departments, will offer two propositions to Gen. Charles W. Kutz. District engineer, this morning. One is that as much as 25 per cent of their wages be retained by the Commissioners until such time as the funds are in shape for their reimbursement; or, second, that the working hours be so reduced as to make the reduction equivalent to 25 per cent of their present wages. Reduction Unfair, Claim. Joseph H. Hurley, president of the association, said last night that the men were determined not to return to the old pre-war basis. "Not if we have to leave the necessary work of the city undone," he said, "will we submit to such conditions." "Men who now receive $3.25 per diem will be paid $2.50 under the new ruling," Mr. Hurley declared. "We are submitting to the Commissioners this morning two propositions, either one of which our members feel will be fair under the present conditions. If the Commissioners do not receive these favorably we will then know that they are trying to force the wage price down. fered by Major Pullman. Major Raymond W. Pullman has offered a reward of two hundred dollars for the arrest of the murder or murderers of Alexander Warren, the photo atist, whose body was found near Glenwood Cemetery on Christmas day. The oil can, a piece of carpet and an automobile are be- the municipal funds," he declared, "to buy feed for the horses owned by the District, the necessary forage is bought on credit. Why should wages not be obtained the same way? Our propositions are made in the faith we will credit our service to the District until such time as Congress is in session and passes the bill." Others who spoke last night were Bert R. Payne, vice-president of the Central Labor Union, and W. Calvin Chase, who was, at the conclusion of his address, on motion of Mr. Aldridge, unanimously elected, honorary member of the, association amidst applause. After the transaction of other minor business, the meeting adjourned to assemble Friday evening at the same place and hour and hear the final report from President Hurley. The association met Friday night, and President Hurley made his report. The Commissioners acceded to the appeal of the association with but one exception, which was satisfactory to the organization. That is, a reduction must be made in the force of the "white wings" on account of the lack of funds. The City Employment Association has the most implicit confidence in the honesty and integrity of President Hurley. He has a following of several thousand laborers and high-class mechanics, who believe in him. His speech last Thursday night assured the men that he would do nothing that would hurt their cause. His appeal to the Commissioners in behalf of the members of his association and that of Mr. Lewis were effective, as well as the addresses of other men. EBENEZER CELEBRATES HER EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, standing all down the aisles. The alliance was out in full and $81 was raised and turned over to the church at the close of the service. They then repaired to the lecture room, where a bounteous repast was served by the ladies of the church, to the delight of all present. ing held for identification.

E. ```markdown ``` The attractions at the club during the week just closed included an entertainment given on Monday night, March 3d. March 4th Mrs. Lillian Bush entertained about 150 soldiers. Specialties, consisting of buck, wing and clog dancing, monologues and a violin solo were given. Several noncommissioned officers of the 367th Infantry entertained the audience with music furnished from odd instruments, made chiefly from boxes. A conference was held with Mr. McCracken and Mr. Cohron with a view to co-operating for the benefit and bettermen of the soldiers, in seeing that everything that can be done to aid the soldiers in coming from a war to a peace basis be done. On Wednesday night, March 5th, the club kept "open house" for the soldiers. Games, music and reading made up the program. A party of seven, members of the entertainment committee of the War Camp Community Service Club, No. 3, went to Camp Humphries, Virginia, and rendered a program of unusual merit, which was highly appreciated and enjoyed. Mr. Alonzo Small played several" characteristic songs; Mr. Thomas Heathman gave several vocal renditions; Mrs. Sallie Fisher Clarke furnished mandolin music. Thursday night, March 6th, Miss Sadie B. Tyler was hostess at an informal affair given for the soldiers. There was dancing and a light supper was served. Additions to the library included a book of very desirable poetry, "Heart of a Woman," by Mrs. Georgia Douglass Johnson; "The Social Almanac for 1919," and "Education for Life: the Story of Hampton," by Peabody. The club was open for recreational purposes. There was music; the soldiers enjoying the player piano. Saturday night, March 8th, was a most interesting night. Miss Carriebel Coles and her Junior Dancing Class entertained the soldiers with a program of dances characteristique. There was an Irish jig, the dance of the Slavs, eccentric American dances, dance of the French clowns. There was a Greek solo, Freize dance and a Greek interpretation "To a Wild Rose." The mothers of the pupils of the dancing class furnished hot chocolate and wafers, and they served these to the soldiers, the pupils themselves donating sufficient almond bars to give one to each soldier. The program was made more interesting by the appearance of Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, who delivered an address, carrying with it an appeal to the more than 200 soldiers to take back with them into civil life the same inspiration that carried them to victory in battle. In addition to the soldiers, about 300 of their relatives and friends were present. Experience of his visits to the trenches in France were recounted by Mr. Baker, who predicted that the benefits of the army training would be long apparent in the manhood of the nation. Army songs were sung by the soldiers, and a dance followed the formal exercises. Mr. R. H. M. Augustine, District of Columbia War Camp Community Service, presided. The club has been made more attractive and homelike by the addition of a number of armchairs, settees and other furnishings, thus maintaining the compliment paid to it by its many visitors as "the best of its kind." The community sing on Sunday, March 9th, closed an eventful week. The crowd was enthusiastic and patriotically sang many songs. An instrumental solo by Miss Elenor Rivers was well received. Attorney Robert I. Miller has filed a demurrer relating to the bone-dry law in the District of Columbia. The case has attracted the attention of the members of the bar.

Washington Basket Ball Team Loses to the Baltimore "Y." In the Washington "Y" on Friday night, the 7th inst.. before a large and enthusiastic crowd of rooters was played one of the best and most exciting games of the season. Washington took the floor, overconfident by the fact that the Baltimore team had lost to the Alcoes the week before. The Baltimore team took the breath out of Washington by dropping in three successive field goals. At the end of the first half the score was 22 to 14 in favor of Baltimore. The second half told a different story. The Washington boys played a "come-back" game, and Baltimore for the entire half was forced to the defensive. During this half they registered only one field goal and three free throws, while the Washington boys score 12 points. Washington starred for Washington. He alone scored 18 of the total 26 points. Harris was the leading light for Baltimore, he scoring 14 points. --- "HOLD-TIGHT" HAIR NETS ENJOY AN ENVIABLE NATIONAL REPUTATION AND THE FRIENDSHIP OF MILLIONS OF WOMEN— "HOLD-TIGHT" HAIR NETS ARE MADE OF THE FINEST REAL HUMAN HAIR, ALL SHADES.

WASHINGTON, D. C., MARCH 15. 1919. HOWARD UNIVERSITY AND THE BOULE. There is a very persistent rumor abroad that this secret social organization is spreading its net with the design of holding up, and preventing if possible, the excellent reforms which have been proposed by President J. Stanley Durkee for the making of a new Howard. It is a notorious fact that the deterioration in spirit at Howard has been most rapid in the last few years and under the self-same men who are now endeavoring to use all sorts of "influence" to prevent any changes. Has not the time come when the colored people should make some inquiries as to the designs and purposes of this secret social organization when its efforts to control are so obvious and questionable? The organization has increased its membership on the faculties at Howard very decisively in the last few years, and now, since everything is not going to suit it, it is seeking "results." The method bears the badge of a rather obnoxious familiarity. Of course, no quarrel can be raised with this secret organization so long as it confines itself to harmless social diversion, but when it begins to seek political control of institutions it runs counter to many other interests and people, and it is easy to predict that the people will not tolerate this selfishness very long on the part of any secret organization, and particularly one whose only claim for notice is based upon the ability to wear a degree from some place. We know many excellent men in this society, and we do not feel that these will conscientiously allow themselves to be used by any one or two men for furthering selfish designs, yet the present activities and rumors emanating from its members would call for investigation as to what this "degree organization" stands for—as to what good it has done and is doing for the people. Perhaps a roll-call of the members of this secret body would not give the greatest assurance that a great institution like Howard should be subjected to its "influence." Dr. Durkee would do the university a service if he would transfer a few of these high-salaried flunkies at the university and make them go and do some legitimate work. Let the reforms take place, doctor, and at once. A GRATUITOUS MEDDLER. Jesse Jones; of the educational of Washington, visited France, invests funding colored soldiers. Quite investigations were prompted by a educational propaganda among the one-time aspirant for the presid- ing of the faculty of Hampton Inst it is said a native of England. h Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, of the educational department of the Government at Washington, visited France, investigating, it is said, conditions surrounding colored soldiers. Quite naturally, it was assumed, his investigations were prompted by a desire and a duty to establish an educational propaganda among the soldiers. Dr. Jones, one-time aspirant for the presidency of Howard University, was long of the faculty of Hampton Institute. Although a white man, and, it is said, a native of England, he displayed much interest in the advancement of the race along educational lines. Mr. Jones' long residence in this country, and his long association with Hampton, where graceful submission to unjust Southern laws is advocated by inference, if not by direct advice, has blinded Dr. Jones to the real aspiration of the colored race in this country. The result has been to make Dr. Jones a sort of gratuitous meddler. He cannot longer confine himself to the educational conservation of the race; but he would, if he could, continue that graceful submission to unjust, discriminating laws which was general before two hundred thousand colored men were exported to France to fight for democracy—fight for its establishment in foreign countries. Dr. Jones, who, by the way, is a close friend and sometime counselor of Dr. Moton, "happened" in France at the same time Dr. Moton was there, and accompanied Dr. Moton_on that famous, long-to-be-remembered excursion to camps of colored soldiers to advocate the doctrine of returning "modestly." We do not know whether Dr. Jones' happening in France at the same time Dr. Moton planted his feet on French soil was a coincident, or planned, but we do know that Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones' propaganda of graceful submission to injustice is out of harmony with the times—it is not a welcomed propaganda to men who grimly fought, and whose comrades heroically fell, "to make the world safe for democracy." and who are returning only to find that the leopard has not changed his spots—that his own native land is still denying him democracy. We suggest to Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones to stick to the educational side of his work entirely—perform the duties expected as an attache of the office of the Commissioner of Education—and not meddle with our rightful contention for EQUALITY before the law as an opponent of that contention. The time has come for the colored voter to choose men and not parties. There is too much political hypocrisy in all parties, and especially the Republican and Democratic parties. The colored voter should not be hasty in tying himself to any party at present, because both parties may nominate men who may be objectionable to him. There is some good men in both parties and many political hypocrites and renegades. While it is true that the Republican party as a whole has not openly opposed the colored man, many in the party have secretly stabbed him. The Democratic party as a whole has and is inimical to the colored voter. The conduct of many during the recent war has fully demonstrated the ingratitude of a party toward a loyal race of people. Both parties are responsible for the kind of colored leadership that has existed for a number of years among colored Americans. It has been the most flimsy and the most cowardly that has ever existed. Republican Presidents have made the mistake of appointing a few so-called alleged representative colored men to office to satisfy twelve million people. Many of these colored men, who had it in their power to appoint worthy and competent colored men and women, would invariably seek to appoint some white person, who would very often turn out to be the enemy of their benefactors. The colored Republican voter has fully paid the debt of gratitude to the Republican party, with compound interest, and he owes nothing whatever to the Democratic party. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD.

The Bee has before it some of the engagements of this speaker, and we note that on March 7th he addressed the faculty and students of Bennett College, Greensboro; March 18, Roanoke; Va., at a big welcome of homecoming soldiers; March 20, State Normal School, Nashville, Tenn.; March 22, Louisville, Ky.; March 26, at the great Presbyterian Church, Detroit, Mich. There is no question about Dr. Shepard being one of the most scholarly and effective speakers in America. A man of the broadest spirit, single-handed, he has fought his way from the ranks to leadership. Among the people who know and love unselfish leadership there is no man more beloved than Dr. James E. Shepard. Excerpts from his last report fully demonstrate that he is a success and a great factor in the race. CITY EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATION The City Employment Association is the first organization of its kind in the United States. Its president is Mr. John H. Hurley, who has the welfare of its members at heart. It is the first organization of its kind that has forced the local government to terms for its employees. The recent meeting, which was held Thursday, March 7th, was in every way orderly and effective. The only department of the government that was in any way affected was the street sweeping department, otherwise the "white wings." This department is composed of men mostly in need among the most deserving. Some effort should be made to relieve this department of its financial embarrassment, because it is one of the most necessary departments under the local government.

DURHAM CITIZENS: Mrs. C. C. Spaulding and Mr. John Merrick, accompanied by their physician and pursuer returned home from Baltimore last week.

The Bee extends its sympathy to Mr. John Merrick, president of the largest insurance company in the world operated by colored men—the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association of Durham, N. C. Mr. Merrick is suffering from cancer of the foot. The Bee earnestly hopes he will be spared to continue his great work in the commercial world. Mr. Merrick enjoys the confidence and respect of all, regardless of color. He has done much for the colored race in the South and in the Nation. PRESIDENT DURKEE. The National Training School at Durham, N. C., announced a series of three addresses by President J. Stanley Durkee of Howard University, to take place in Avery Auditorium, March 4th and 5th. The school is to be congratulated on Dr. Durkee's visit. The faculty, students and citizens of Durham had a rare treat as they listened to the matchless words of this great orator and educator. The "Church and Reconstruction" will be discussed before Bethel Literary next Tuesday evening by Rev L. L. S. Holloman, pastor of the Second Baptist Church. The choir of that church will sing. The meetings of the literary continue to command large attendance, and the varied programs are full of interest. On March 25th an evening with the soldiers from "over there" will be observed.

William Hayward, of the 369th Regiment, United States Infantry, formerly known as the "Old Fifteenth," recently roused to a wild pitch of enthusiasm one of the largest crowds that was ever packed into old Carnegie Hall, New York, when he told of the daring exploits in France of his regiment of brave colored fighters, most of whom were recruited in New York City. Col. Hayward, was the principal speaker at a thrift meeting, called to launch the War Savings movement in New York City, to promote the sale of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. Col. Hayward's speech was easily the "bit" of the evening, and by continued cheering and outbursts of applause the thousands assembled showed their appreciation of the brave work done by the colored soldiers in the great war. "In talking to Justice Hughes a few days ago, I was astonished to find out that the people in this country did not know what happened in that last big German offensive on the 15th of July," said Col. Hayward. "You see, the Germans had been reinforced by released prisoners from Russia so that they had their forces complete." "But that was fair, enough," he added, "because there was nothing between us and Berlin except the German army." "When the French knew this battle was coming," the Colonel continued, "their forces did not remain a thin blue line. It seemed that all the soldiers and all the cannon in the world crawled over and took positions back of us. "General Gouraud saved the world for civilization, but he took a chance, the greatest chance any soldier ever took in the world. He took his troops out of the front line trenches over a front of fifty kilometers. He abandoned them when he was sure the attack was coming. "And when this attack occurred he had the Fifteenth New York on one end of that fifty kilometer line and the old 69th New York, in the Rainbow Division, on the other end. And so, when the German fire fell on these front line trenches, for five hours and twenty-five minutes, they fell on empty trenches, except for the few patrols left in reinforced trenches with signal rockets, gas shells and a few machine guns. Practically all of these came back to us in the morning. "When the hour for the German infantry attack game these patrols let off their gas bombs and signal rockets and our artillery let loose on the mossed Germans. The Germans were literally smashed and never got through to our second line." MRS. KENNY. Mrs. Maria C. Kenny, Dean of Women of Roger williams School, Nashville, Tenn., the wife of Dr. A. O. Kenney, who has charge of the Theological Department there, is spending some time in this city at the National Training School, Lincoln Heights. Mrs. Kenney is a college woman of great refinement and modesty; a fine speaker, a leading singer before she took the platform. She has traveled extensively, studied schools and methods, and stands in the forefront in the training and refining of girls. Mrs. Kenney has spoken several times in this city, briefly at Israel Baptist Church to a capacity house and was given an ovation. Among her favorite subjects are: "Early Kindergarten Training for All Children." "Small Boys and Girls Should Be Trained Alike." "The Debt That Every Woman Owes to Self." "Give the Girl Sympathy; Fill Her Life With Wholesome Fun and Play." "Ministers of the Gospel Should Be Better Paid." "The Public Schools Should Be Open to All Persons; There Should Be No Age Limit." "Our Weak System of Education Is Responsible for the Weakness of the Nation." Mrs. Kenney has been asked to fill an entire evening's engagement at this church and to visit other points before she returns to her home. Sergeant Detective Beckley will in the course of time capture the murderers of the late A. W. Warren. Warren was murdered and robbed. Supreme Court of the District of Columbia—Holding Probate Court.

Our watchword is onward, making every heart a wire. As we strive on bended knees, setting every soul on fire; Looking ever to the heights of a race we must defend. God is our captain, for our rights we must contend. Onward! right must win; Justice must roll; God's plan is wrapped up in a divine scroll; And we must press on through good or ill, And "Onward" be our watchword still. Onward! Life's noble worth is on before us; Justice, Freedom, Victory—if die we must; Onward! the light is on, and win it we must; God will be our secret judge—in Him we'll trust. Though we fall in the shafts as duty calls. Enthusiasm's burning unconquerable will: As we leave behind us radiant visions. Souls plodding at the sounds of our thrills. With unconquerable energy and sublime hope. As we strive for our place under the sun. With speedfast will, up the rough, rocky way we plod. Our secret trust, in the race we must run, God! A. J.

Tyler, dropped in town a few days ago, looking as spruce as a French dancing master. He has a lot to say about our brave heroes in France. It would make your heart ache to listen to him relate the story of the treatment of colored Americans in France. You know Ralph. He has no favors to ask of anyone. He was in the thickest of the fight. He saw our brave colored boys insulted by the Southern crackers who had been given command over the greatest fighters of the age. When he publishes the true story of our boys in France the American people will say democracy is a sham. Now, speaking of the league of nations, the country is divided. We will never accept the present propaganda. Of course, we don't want any more, wars, but we want protection for the black races. The Mons case was up in Criminal Court No. 2 Saturday morning and his attorney made a lengthy plea for him. The court has the petition under advisement. When the case is called—and I have no reason to believe that it will not be tried—there will be tears to shed. Those who have tears should shed them now, because many must face the United States attorney and tell why they allowed their photos to be taken in a nude posture. His attorney assured the court that many would faint and many will be unable to appear in court. His attorney made a vicious attack on the Department of Justice and the United States attorney's office, which was condemned by the Mr. Justice McCoy was patient in listening to the lengthy petition of Mr. Mons' attorney, in which he exhibited many photos, but none of the nude ones, which will be the sensation in the trial. His attorney made a charge against Attorney Cobb, which he promptly denied in open court. This celebrated case will no doubt be set for trial shortly, and, oh! what tears will then be shed. The Government claims that it will make out a case, while Prof. Mons' attorney asserts that the Government has no case. The Industrial Savings Bank is a fixture in this city. There is only one way to draw money out of that bank. There are no strings to the checks that are handed in the window to the lady cashier, who is right on the job. President Lewis and Cashier Bowie have the banking system down according to Hoyle. They don't make any fuss about it, either. If you have the long-green in this bank, or its equivalent in gold, President Lewis and Cashier Bowie will honor your check. The baby act is not tolerated in the daily transac- Judge E. M. Hewlett has taken on new life. Old Flue had a hold on the Judge a few weeks ago and he came to the conclusion that precaution was the better part of natural valor. He thought it was unwise to play with grim death, so he decided to send for a doctor, who administered, to him a few drops of pacific that resurrected him. He is now himself again. One of the biggest sensations in the legal profession was the contention over the estate of Robert Harris, who turned out to be a woman, according to the testimony of witnesses and the allidavit of Drs. Chas. H. Marshall, Samuel M. Pierre and Norman W. Harris. This is a case where a woman was married to a woman and before the death of the testatrix she willed her property to a man by the name of John J. Dickerson and willed her alleged husband (who turned out to be a woman) one dollar. Attorneys Hill and Davis represent Dickerson, who was willed $650 in insurance money. The court will decide whether the dead woman is the husband of the living woman. Perhaps the "flu" caused a transformation. Strange things happen sometimes. But this is a freak of nature that physicians must decide. Perhaps the three specialists may be able to solve the mystery. I am reliably informed that there are only five persons in this town among the colored population who have any financial standing. There are many who own automobiles, but they are mortgaged from Alpha to Omega. It is not always the high-fliers with patent leather shoes and a peacock walk that have a healthy bank account. There is only one man in this city whose personal check is worth ten thousand, and he is an ex-hodcarrier. Now, isn't that going some? This individual never discloses his identity, no matter M. S. M. THE MISSING LINK. A Plea for Justice for the Negro Race. (By Sergt. Greenleaf Johnson, Company B, 72d Regimental Infantry, Where are you, oh, great nation, in this tide of fleeting years, Rich with victory's achievements, in Leagued with your matchless progress he has proved his royal worth. But where are law and government of this patriotic land. When arson forms a covenant with the murderous outlaw's hand To make living human bonires, torturing inch upon the rack. When the major charge against them is: The grime of being black? And where that Constitution that guarantees to all. That fabric fair of Equal Rights? Heed now the Negro's call! Bind him in those rights so garred you've laid so broad and deep! Make him feel that you have wound him in that faith you pledged to keep: Where are you, loving country (?) Have you soon forgot Where the Negro fell beneath your flag, where the fire was fierce and hot! While that flag protects the foreign oppressed across the foam List to the Negro pleading for protection here at home. Can you ignore with justice his purchase, sealed in blood. Of his democratic heirship in the nation's brotherhood? To maintain this glorious standard he has faced the cannon grini. Yet you urge upon an alien race the rights denied to him! Speaking about Ralph W. Tyler, the boys intended to have given him a royal reception at a smoker, but his sudden drop-in prevented it, as he left the city Monday. One of his friends, before the city went dry and before Shorty Barleycorn made his exit, got in a stock of what was left in the Monumental City. A royal time was anticipated. If Ralph does not return to the city soon the town will be so dry and warm that you will be able to boil an egg on "Avenue De Nig." Ralph has joined the prohibition party, and Shorty Barleycorn is objectionable in his presence. General Forrest came in to town the other day with his usual hand-satchel in his hand. He was accosted by an inspector, of the "Shorty" gang. General Forrest is always possessed with many tricks, which led his inquisitor to believe that he was stock high. It turned out that General Forrest had a satchel full of Pluto water which he intended to distribute among those friends of his who had been infected with spirits of fermenti. My friend George W. Taylor has decided to turn over a more liberal leaf. Every lady who purchases a wrist, watch he proposes to give a handsome present.

Know some crimes that you're condemning, in the Prussian Allied States Night and day are perpetrated on the Negro in your gates!

Yet, stay, oh, mighty statesmen, 'ere you settle the ills abroad. You are your brother's keeper here: forbid, oh, righteous Lord, That your love's shibboleth shall spread so far beyond the seas, Fill in Heaven's just approval you shall heed the plea of these. Where are you, oh humanity, that we at your shrine may kneel And in the name of Mercy's God make one last sad appeal? You have not always slumbered; awake, and lend an ear. awake, and lend an ear, From your heart so sympathetic give the Negro's cause a tear. Where are you, nation's conscience?

If reports are true, the colored Druggists' Association has only three slackers, or individuals who would like to be identified with the white race. But the curl of their hair and African features prevent them. These three slackers, it is stated, took advantage of a feature in the association that they could not obtain otherwise. It was in connection with a bond that each member of the association must give to enable him to sell alcohol. There are some colored men who are not contented unless they have a white master. However, the association is doing well enough without the presence of the slackers: FOR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. Twelfth Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., Opens Department.

ONE NORTH 7154 The Beauty Parlor Manicuring Hair Dressing Speaking of this league of nations business, it seems like playing a game of checkers. It looks as though our Uncle Sam has been flirting with the rest of the world powers to the extent that they have fallen in love with him (for his wealth), and are very desirous of marrying him. He, our Uncle Sam, has wooed and proposed to them, and there seems no easy way now to break the engagement, even though his millions of kinsmen be ever so anxious to prevent him (their Uncle) from tying the fatal knot. So, like playing a game of checkers, it matters not which way Uncle Sam (poor fellow!) moves, they've got him. If he marries them they'll soon sue him for a divorce, with a heavy alimony (since they are after his wealth), and if he refuses to marry them they will sue him for alienating their foreign affections. And how to get our Uncle out of this love (?) affair is the thing which is puzzling the brains of our wise statesmen and defenders of this country, whom President Wilson styled as fools in his New York speech before his departure to resume courtship with the gay, fascinating nations of the world. Hadn't Uncle Sam better look very carefully before he makes the next move? He's in a corner in this great game: being surrounded with many kings! We consider this league of nations question to be too deep for us to undertake to comment upon here. We leave that to wiser ones. But why men who claim to have good common sense, men who have read the Bible, men who know that God has declared that there shall be wars and rumors of wars, are clamoring for universal peace, when these same men are taking the lead in denying liberty to the most loyal citizens of their own land and country, and expect to realize the thing for which they are fighting, is a mystery far be- nations or no league of nations, there will always be wars as long as one class of men, or nations, deny the liberties, and rights to other people that they themselves most earnestly coptend for. God says, "There shall be wars and rumors of wars." The league of nations says, "We (the league of nations) shall make it impossible—with our moneys—for the promises of God to stand." So there you are! God's words are going to stand—and the Christian world believes it. The league of nations has not any faith in itself, for while this great sanhedrim declares that there shall be no more wars, each nation (and especially Uncle Sam, who is seldom caught napping) is going right on preparing for the next bloody conflict, which is bound to come, in the near future, unless the rights of the weaker races be recorded due respect. Being a true believer in God's promises, we would be the last to advise the little sparrows and the dove of peace to build their nests in the cannon's mouth yet awhile, for there's great danger of their being disturbed. In a subsequent letter I shall endeavor to say more about the so-called leaders of the race. In the meantime, we warn the race to beware of its own deceitful brother that the white man puts up to lead it. Never allow your enemy to load the guns to meet him in battle. If reports be true, the race had better not put too much faith in the "big fat fellow" at Tuskegee, Alabama. ITEMS ON THE WING. Washington Commandery, K. T., held an interesting conclave last Wednesday at the asylum. 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue N. W. After the usual routine business they spent some little time in drills, etc., under the direction of the E. G. C. G. Quite a number of the illustrious, sirs were present: While a great many things go on in this country in which the colored American has no hand, he is affected in many ways by the same. It was stated in the Capitol recently that if the immigration to this country was not restricted that there would be no America. The only real Americans in the United States are the native-born whites, the Indian and the Negro. Mr. Wilson was reported as being very bitter at critics of the League of Nations at the Democratic dinner. It is reported that he used some very strong language in expressing his sentiments. It is with much regret we announce the departure to the Unseen Temple of Sir P. H. Simmons, 32nd degree, P. G. Captain General of the K. T. of D. C. Deceased was a member of Meridian Lodge No. 6 and Prince Hall Chapter No. 5, and Sim- mons Commandery No. 1, K. T. of D. C. Funeral services from the Nineteenth, Street Baptist Church last Sunday. (R. I. P.) *** If the unemployment matter continues until April there will be one million unemployed in the United States, and trouble following. While the Department of State refused to give passports to colored Americans to attend the Pan-African Congress held in France, the same was opened February 21, with forty delegates present. Among them were ten from the United States, headed by Dr. W. E. DuBois, and two delegates to the Peace Conference—C. D. B. King, the foreign minister of Liberia, and T. Guilbaud, the minister of Haiti in Paris. Also six delegates from the French Chamber of Deputies, and representatives of England, Belgium, Africa and the West Indies. The Negroes, like the Jews, are scattered all over the world. There are lots of objections to the League of Nations, and in our opinion the United States had better stay home and attend to the United States. In looking over the acts of some of the superior race in Europe during the war, and in fact at present, if the colored people of the United States, did the same we would not blame the whites for not wanting to give them a square deal. The colored American, has been painted blacker than he is. In some parts of Russia, where American troops are now stationed, women are stripped of their clothes right in the streets and subjected to indecencies. Europe will reject the League of Nations unless the United States shares the burden. Articles in this column are authentic and are published for the information of not only the readers in the District of Columbia, but those outside. Once each month the entire student body of the Columbia Conservatory of Music, Prof. Wellington A. Adams, director, 1911' Ninth Street N. W., assembles together in a monthly class program: each pupil appearing in one number and contesting for honor prizes, which is both beneficial and interesting, as it tends to stimulate greater interest in study and gives the pupil experience in public performance that they need and do not have under similar conditions. The general class recital occurs on the third Friday evening of each month, and parents and friends have an opportunity to observe their progress. Beginning this month—March—the sight-singing class will assemble on each second Wednesday evening of the month, composed strictly of pupils in the voice department, and studies in solo, duet, quartet, two-part, three-part and four-part singing will be given. Also, on each fourth Wednesday evening of the month the violin class will assemble for solo, duet and orchestral work in ensemble, in which only pupils of the violin department will take part. Class work means much to a pupil, but this does not interfere with the pupil's regular private recital each week, as their individual instruction is carried out to the letter. Columbia Conservatory succeeds because of its splendid system and routine and pleasant environments. COLORED MECHANICS MAKE GOOD CITIZENS. By Homer L. Ferguson President Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. Hampton, Va.. March 13. There are 4,500 colored men working in the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. This is the largest force of skilled colored men and the highest paid group of colored men working anywhere in industry. The shipbuilding plant is a memorial to Collis P. Huntington, who showed himself a friend to Hampton Institute and the colored people. The shipyard in Newport News is a testimonial to Mr. Huntington's belief in the colored man as an indis-trial worker—a man who would be successful. Mr. Huntington was told Frazier and Bundy GRADUATE FUNERAL DIRECTORS AND EMBALMERS 723 Tea Street. Northwest Polite and Efficient Service Reasonable Prices Open Day and Night Lady Attendant Phone North 7796 Residence Phone North·1213 BRODT'S HATS by many that it would be impossible to build ships with Negro labor. The ships that we are building are equal to those built anywhere in the world. Some of the colored men who are working in the Newport News shipyard have been with the company 25 years or more. Eight to ten are on the retired list and are receiving from one-third to one-fourth of their regular pay. The successful colored shipyard workers have built their own homes, have supported their churches, and have helped to develop one of the best colored sections in the South. Y. M. C. A. Investment. A new Y. M. C. A. building has been built at a cost of $20,000 to care for colored shipyard workers. For six years the Y. M. C. A. was maintained for the shipyard boys and was a pronounced success. It was, perhaps, one of the best investments ever made by the company. Through the Y. M. C. A. the boys and men learned better habits of industry and learned a good deal about thrift. Industries must make better workers. The man who works end does not get ahead simply wastes his time. Successful people are those who work at things a long time. "Uncle Jack," who has been long engaged in the coke-bin work, was unwilling at 70 to retire. He wanted to work until the Germans had been whipped. This man has the respect of his own people and the whites. Racial Gifts. A man is not made by the things which he does with his hands, but by what he thinks. The colored men in the shipyard, who work skillfully with their hands, are as self-respecting as any other group of people. We must make class depend on decency rather than upon the kind of work a man or woman does. The colored people have a glorious future before them. They will learn as others have done that thrift and hard work will bring them out all right. They must become a property owning, voting people. Colored people just naturally like to get hold of a little property. Only death and disaster will separate them from their property. All clear-thinking, right-minded white people are the friends of colored people. A boy or a girl, a man or a woman, who sticks to his or her job will win NEWS NOTES. From all outlooks Europe is alarmed for fear that the United States will desert her. If the United States is so powerful as to be able to safeguard other interests outside of the United States, then it appears that for the best of all concerned she should look out for home first. The Bible states that charity begins at home. We have sufficient going on right now in this country to have some of the charity extend within our midst, in order that the spirit of harmony may prevail. * * * The financial burden of the United States for the next twenty-five years will be one billion two hundred millions a year, to pay off the war debt. This is according to an estimate of the Treasury based on incomplete returns of what the final war debt will be. The latest combination effected, as handed out by the President in his address at the Democratic dinner, will be to divide the Republican party on the league issue. His instructions to Democratic National Committee are to go back to their States and not only obtain indorsement of the league from Democrats, but to invite local Republican organizations to follow the lead of Mr. Taft. By this means it is hoped to disrupt the Republican party. It does look strange for an ex-President of one side backing the efforts of his political enemy. The night schools will go on for two weeks in the District of Columbia. * * * W. H. Hayes, chairman Republican National Committee has opened headquarters at Chicago, 11. * * * Shorty and Corine, $1.50 up.

Thousands of public school teachers are exempt from income taxes. Shortage of labor in the South calls for immediate return of thousands of Negroes who went North for war work, where they will remain until the South learns to give the colored man a square deal. There will be no necessity for the colored brother to migrate elsewhere. In the case of Robert Harris, who died October 16 last, under instructions of the court the body was exhumed by Doctors S. M Pierre, Charles H. Marshall and N. W. Harris, who made affidavit that Harris was a woman. Several strikes coming off as a result of prohibition. General Coxey and his army will make a trip to Washington in automobiles to enter protest. The Ace Restaurant Company of Newark has incorporated to operate floating saloons, and to top the climax the English Government has requested the Department of State not to issue passports to prohibitionists to any British dominion. nd Bundy UATE No more thorough and practical training in piano, singing, violin, harmony, public school music, ukelele, steel guitar, elocution and dramatic expression, music kindergarten for children, shorthand and typewriting, French and English languages, conversational and reading may be had than the Columbia Conservatory offers.

Parker has recently added this table to his office. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints, and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body, and contains the spinal cord which gives off nerves to every organ, tissue and muscle, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine. Crooked or stiff spine cause various kinds of diseases, weakness, and premature old age. Osteopathic treatment cures these troubles by correcting the spine. Women who are suffering from female troubles will do well to consult Dr. Parker, as he makes a specialty of those cases. 1 Cap' James F. Oyster, How they Miss Him [Image of a man with a bald head, a mustache, and a suit with a tie. The background is decorated with ornamental patterns. The name "Brown" is written below the image.] General Forrest, A Benefactor 144 Prof. R. J. Hawkins, The Man of the Hour You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary shade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quonasoap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggists or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send, us the price and we will mail them to you direct.
