Pastor of St. John's Baptist Church Who Distinguished Himself on the Firing Line in France.

COLORED FIRE DEPARTMENT.
A Sufficient Number Have Passed the Examination—A Colored Captain and Other Officers to Be Appointed—A Great Record for the Colored Men.
When it was first suggested to have a colored fire department, officered exclusively by colored men, some objection was raised against it. These objections came from persons who have done nothing to advance the interests of the colored people.
For eighteen years four colored citizens have struggled in the fire department without a promotion. Had Commissioner F. L. Siddons remained in office as Commissioner, the color line in the local government would have been abolished, and a man's color would have been no bar to his promotion. For 18 years Messrs. C. E. Gibson, of Truck No. 3; J. B. Key, Engine Company No. 25; R. J. Holmes, of Truck Company No. 10, and Frank Hall, detached at the Chief Engineer's office, have made good in the fire department. At present the following men have successfully passed the examination for the fire department and are serving: J. W. Rowen, P. Hill; and J. R. Bush, Engine Company No. 4; B. H. Penell, Engine Company No. 8; F. Jackson, Engine Company No. 21; C. Young and J. F. O'Brian, Truck Company No. 4; H. Gaskins, C. A. Moore, W. T. Green and L. C. Barnes, Truck Company No. 5, and H. J. Williams and A. A. King, Truck Company No. 10. When arrangements are completed Charles E. Gibson, who has been in the service for 18 years and has taught men who have been appointed to positions as high as captain, will no doubt be made captain of this colored company. Mr. Gibson was appointed in the department by Deputy Recorder of Deeds R. W. Dutton, who was at the time deputy fire chief, and he is proud of the record he has made—so much so that he sent a letter to the District Commissioners recommending him for the captaincy of the colored company.
Some people, only a few, object to segregation in this department, but this is the only method by which competent colored firemen will ever reach the height of their ambition and enable competent men to, receive just recognition.
In Pennsylvania, Chicago and oth-
Church, and resides at 760 Lamont Street N. W. October 27, 1917, he enlisted in the army and went to Camp Meade, and was soon transferred to the firing line in France. He arrived there June 27th. He saw many things that made his heart ache, but not once did this disciple of Christ fail to do his duty. He has to his credit the baptism of eight brave soldiers who embraced religion. He was attached to the 368th Regiment, 92nd Division, and for three days he was without food. No man has a better record and no soldier was more highly commended. The St. John's Baptist Church, of which Rev. Brown is pastor, is one of the most progressive churches in this city. February 5, 1919, he embarked for home, and arrived in this city March 7th, and assumed charge of his church, which is located at Sherman and Irving Streets N. W., which he hopes to improve. Rev. Brown is a most successful pastor and a hard worker, who is highly respected by the member of his church and citizens.
On his arrival home he was tendered many receptions, among, which was one by his deacons—Mr. Valentine, Miss. Frances Nelson, Mrs. Thornton and Miss Netti Smith.
er Jarge cities separate fire companies are successful, and nine-tenths of the colored citizens in this city favor a colored fire department, as well as a separate police precinct.
RULES BONE-DRY ACT VOIDS OTHERS.
Judge Hardison Holds It Annuls Sheppard and Military Zone Laws. Dismisses Two Cases.
Under a ruling promulgated by Judge Hardison in passing sentence in a liquor case in the District of Columbia branch of the Police Court Tuesday morning, the Reed bone-dry law repeals the Sheppard prohibition law and the "military zone law."
The point arose in the case of Adolph Danan, operating a motor truck, charged under the Sheppard act with bringing into the District sixty-six cases of whiskey, valued at $2,000 before 6 a.m. February 25, the day the Reed Amendment went into effect. Attorney M. Miller, for the defendant, filed a motion to quash the information, contending that the government could not prosecute under the Sheppard law for the reason that the Reed amendment, or bone-dry law, repealed that law.
The court ordered the prosecution quashed an issued an order on the police department for the return of the whiskey.
This, it is held, will bar prosecution of a number of cases made under the Sheppard prohibition law. A similar ruling was made by the court in the case of Clarence J. Peck.
Commenting on the decision of the court in these cases, Judge Hardison said:
"Because of the lack of a specific clause in the Sheppard law regarding the transportation feature; Congress enacted the Reed law, to apply to the District; thereby stopping the gaps in the Sheppard law. Since the Reed law is intended to plug up holes in the Sheppard law, it thereby repeals that special part. However, cases that have been passed on are not affected."
Young Colored Girls Prove Efficient in the War Risk Bureau.
There is no department of the Government in which young colored girls have worked where they have
made a better record than the force Bureau, Tenth and B Streets N. W. These young women are from different parts of the country. Some few weeks ago there were from 25 to 30, but some have resigned and returned to their homes, and those who are here and have made a good record are mostly graduates from some of the leading colleges and schools in the United States. There are at present a band of fifteen in this department, as follows: Misses Lucile Brandon, Louise Bampfield, Lillian E. Burk, Miss Dahney, Lillian Dorsey, Mrs. Frances' Davis, Mrs. Sallie Franklin, Miss Malinda Scott, Mrs. Frances Williams, Mrs. Lucy Pollard, Mrs. Grace Jackson, Misses Lillian Redmond, Gertrude Madden, Addie Turner and Mrs. Cruzat. All of these clerks are highly educated and a great credit to the department.
REV. M. W. CLAIR.
Rev. M. W. Clair, pastor of the Asbury Church, has the confidence and admiration of his congregation. A petition signed by six hundred of his members has been sent to the bishop requesting his retention at this great church. No man has done as much for Asbury Church as Rev. Clair. It is for the good of the denomination that Rev. Clair will be transferred and promoted. His new field of operation is in need of his services...and no man other than Rev. Clair has been found competent to fill the position.
In speaking of his services and the love his people have for him, Mrs. M. Hickman, one of the oldest and best working members of the church, said to a representative of The Bee that Rev. Clair has done more and can do more than any other minister.
His successor has not as yet been decided on. Many favor Rev. Jackson, who is regarded as one of the cleanest men in the denomination, but it is said that quite likely he will be appointed presiding elder. It is hoped that this rumor is true. He is a highly educated man and one whose reports to the many conferences have been clever, concise and instructive. No better man, as the successor of Rev. Clair, could be appointed to succeed him.
DUDLEY AND THOMAS GOING TO- FLORIDA
Two of the Best Known Theatrical Promoters in the United States.
S. H. Dudley and A. J. Thomas, the colored theatrical magnates of this city, went to Florida (Pensacola, Jacksonville, Miami), and will stop in Atlanta, Ga., on their way back. They may also stop in New Orleans and Mobile, Ala.
S. H. Dudley is on business for the enlargement of his circuit, while A. J. Thomas is taking the trip with the little hustling promoter as a special guest and taking a much needed rest. M. Klein of Chicago, who is a co-partner of Mr. Dudley in the West and South, arrived Wednesday to join the party. It is about the first time we have known a drawing room to be reserved for our people going south.
We look to hear some good reports as to what our people are doing in the southland when Messrs. Dudley and Thomas come back home. These two theatrical thespians may have something up their sleeve as they are very foxy and know every angle of the theatrical business.
A FALSE CHARGE.
Editor of The Bee
Referring to an article published in the Washington Post of March 14, headed: "Plot to Stir Up Negroes."
would say that the white press is reluctant to make Bolshevikism the scapegoat on which to cast the Southern injustices toward the Negro. The Negro paper referred to is not making an attempt to stir, up discord between the races, but simply giving out some plain facts as to the treatment accorded the Negro in certain sections of the country. These conditions have been opposed by the leading Negroes and well-thinking white people of the country long before Bolshevikism ever became prominent as it is today.
Prejudice, racial discrimination and all unfair dealing heaped upon the darker races should be contested against to the bitter end and given the widest publicity to every civilized nation of the earth.
Wesley M. Thornton.
Every effort has been made by the opposers in the Baptist Ministers' Conference by the minority to exclude Rev. Alex. Willbanks, which has failed. At a meeting held some months ago the opposition was defeated two to one. A Baptist conference was called, in which a minority again exercised their authority, and again Rev. Willbanks was cited to appear before the Alumni of Howard University, and when a bill of particulars was asked by his attorney the request was ignored, and again arbitrary action was taken. Now, being defeated in every effort to separate him from the majority, the defeated minority will now withdraw, it is said, from the Baptist Conference.
THE CHURCH AND RECONSTRUCTION.
Rev. J. L. S. Holloman Delivers an Address Before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association.
On Tuesday evening, March 18, before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, the Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, pastor Second Baptist Church, delivered an address on "The Church and Reconstruction." The music of the evening was furnished by the choir of the Second Baptist Church, Mr. Wellington A. Adams director. The address of Rev. Holloman was timely and thoughtful. Among other things he said, "The returning soldiers demand, instead of a revision of the creeds of our fathers, more sincerity and less of hypocrisy in our religious profession and practise.
"War is possible today because our civilization is more material than spiritual; more covetous than kind. Our most unconquerable foes are hatred, lust and covetousness.
"In our day the inventor and discoverer outdistanced the moral teacher, the commercial traveler outran the missionary, and before the Kaiser learned the lesson of futility, covetousness and hate his representatives are selling 'made in Germany' products in large cities of the world. The result is as you would naturally expect. This man of hate set the world on fire.
"The mighty task of the church in reconstruction is the establishment of universal brotherhood. The attainment of universal brotherhood is possible in spite of many claims to the contrary. Heaven and earth and all the forces thereof conspire together to bring on the day when all men shall live together in peace as one family."

MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.
Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Arlington, Va., Rev. James E. Green, pastor, is doing a wonderful work in the salvation of souls.
Rev. Green served prior to being called to this church as superintendent of the Sunday School for several years, and deacon for nine years.
He proved his worth as a man of integrity and a safe leader—thus his call to the pastorate.
Rev. Henry Ward Colston conducted a winter revival for Rev. Green, and over one hundred souls were brought to Christ through his preaching. Over sixty joined Mount Zion Baptist Church, and others were sent to other churches. Rev. Colston has been secured to conduct a thirty-day spring revival, beginning March 17. Rev. Colston has not only done work in this country, but has conducted meetings in foreign lands for three, and a half years. He is a prepared evangelist, having studied in the best schools in this country. At Alleghany College, Pennsylvania, he was the only colored student.

SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH.
At the regularly called meeting of Shiloh Baptist Church, Alexandria, Va., last Thursday night, March 13, 1919. Rev. James H. Marshall was unanimously elected pastor of the church.
Rev. W. B. Hill of Northeast Baptist Church, this city, preached a scholarly, inspiring and spiritual sermon at Shiloh Baptist Church, Alexandria, Va., last Sunday afternoon on the subject, "The Hidden Power."
Rev. Hill is a son of Shiloh. His parents were among the founders of that church. His brother, Lawyer Edmond Hill, and family are among the best workers there at the present time.
Rev. James E. Mason, secretary of the Livingstone College; Saulbury, N. C., has been delivering a series of lectures and addresses in Norfolk, Petersburg and Richmond, to large audiences.
Sunday morning he preached at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Dr. Tanner pastor. The sermon was an eloquent and powerful plea for the church and Christianity. He is on his way North in the interests of the institution.
Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, who has just returned from field hospital work in France, has resumed the practice of medicine and surgery at his office, 1717 You Street N. W.

A Great Work of a Great Club, What Women Can Do.
The Daughters of Conference of Asbury M. E. Church presented the trustees with a memorial window on Sunday, February 23d, at 8 o'clock. The Daughters of Conference is an organization to help preachers who have become wornout in the service. This window is a memorial to those who have served Asbury.
The ladies marched into the church, led by a banier, carried by Master Morteza Sprague, assisted by little Miss Gértrude Anthony and Miss Katherine Edelin. The chore rendered a selection, after which the pastor made a few remarks. Mrs. Fannie Chair took the chair as presiding officer. She introduced Mrs. Mallie Hickman, who is president of the Daughters of Conference. She thanked the women and general public for working so earnestly and successfully with her. She presented the trustees with $300—$100 of which was to go on the building fund and $200 to finish paying the $1,000 for the window. Mrs. Hickman presented the women with a banner which was to designate them as the first club to receive a banner in Asbury.
Mrs. Lula Brown Miner was then introduced, and she presented the trustees with the window, costing $1,000—all paid for. The picture painted on the glass of the window is that of Christ represented as the Good Shepherd carrying a young lamb in His bosom. The sheep are grazing on the green and the River Jordan flows in the background.
Mrs. Miner said: "Sheep constituted the chief wealth of a man in patriarchal times, hence, with the Jews, the care of sheep was among the most responsible and respectable employments. The shepherd's care was constant and tender, and his power with the sheep was great. What part will the church play in the great reconstruction movement after the war? It shall be answered in your window. It shall lead and guide us like a shepherd does his sheep. Mrs. Hickman was a shepherdess among her lady followers. She led them until they raised $1,000 for the window, and tonight it is all paid for. The Daughters of Conference have followed her every step of the way. Tonight it gives me great pleasure to present to the trustees of Asbury Church, on behalf of the Daughters of Conference, the memorial window. Its purpose is to impress each worshipper that our Great Shepherd leads us every day through the deep valleys and the green fields of life. Its next purpose is that if everybody had the Daughters of Conference spirit the problem of reconstruction for Christ and the church would be easy."
Dr. William H. Jackson received the window on behalf of the trustees. He thanked the Daughters of Conference for the window and for their assistance in every cause. He said that they had presented money to the trustee very often at a time when it was most needed. The congregation responded and gave Mrs. Hickman a gift, which was the money for her car fare to conference. The pastor offered the benediction.

Menace to Colored Education—The Colored Public Schools Infested Howard University in the Clutches of the Flunkies.
of the English language.
There are colored men in this city who would be a credit on the Board of Education. The appointment of a successor to any colored member of the Board of Education should be a man who has other interests except family consideration. The great trouble with many colored members of the Board of Education has been the appointment of their relatives. Education is impeded by the Bolas, and the sooner the public schools and Howard University are rid of them the better it will be for both institutions.
There never was a social organization in this city but what didn't attempt to control the colored public schools. The most notorious was the Freedmen's Bank rings, the notorious Lotus Club and many other private social cliques. There was at one time a prince of colored society who had apartments on 14th Street, where teachers visited to consult the prince's library. The Bee got behind the prince and an investigation was held in the residence of a dis
Henry Johnson, formerly a member of the trustee board of the colored public schools, conducted the examination. The result of this investigation put an end to the prince and his female visitors. The citizens of this city have had a great deal to encounter in their schools. The responsible parties are persons who come to the city from other cities and States.
The Mons case, which is soon to be tried by the Government, will bring forth, startling developments i. which certain colored social temporary residents in this city are actors. A certain educator is one of the principals, and nothing has been done so far to investigate the part played by this educator. There is one thing certain, the Government will lay bare everything.
NEW BOY SCOUT CAMP.
Boy Scout Troop 507 (Colored), under the direction of Scoutmaster Charles A. Marshall, have been unusually fortunate in securing a piece of land at Glenarden, Md., to be used as a camping ground for the summer. The signal tower will make it possible for these Washington Scouts to exchange signals over almost the entire stretch of land at their disposal.
Camp America will open on July 1st, and will continue until Labor Day. Twenty-five Scouts, under the leadership of Scoutmaster Marshall, Assistant Scoutmaster Parker and Troop Leader Paul Miller, will leave Washington Saturday, April 26, to improve the site for the permanent camp. A special feature of the camp will be a signal tower, an outdoor rustic reading room and a large picnic ground, where moving pictures will be shown. All Scouts wishing to go to Camp America will write to Scoutmaster Charles A. Marshall, 63 Florida Avenue N. W., or phone North 5451-J.

FREE BIRTHDAY READINGS BY THE GREAT OSMAN.
October 13, 1867.—All your life you were very unlucky and you have talked about it and dreamed about it and believed in your bad luck so long and so much that it has become a reality with you. Now, don't you think it is about time for you to separate your thoughts from the path that leads to wreck and ruin? I think it is time, and the stars indicate so, too. Now, come along, my dear man; be a modern, up-to-date man; be sure to go to church as soon as possible, and ask God to help you to shake off the thoughts of evil luck. Forget the bad past and create a new life for yourself and your dear family. Think of success; live each day a perfectly good life; plan success, and go to bed and dream of success, and don't forget to ask God for success. Forget your bad luck, just as you have forgotten to pay

back a certain friend a certain sum of money; the party is dead now, and his spirit tells me you should save up and pay it to his widow in Pittsburgh, Pa. You don't think of this every week—no! So, forget about your bad luck and think of the favors rendered you, of the joy that has come your way; feel each day you are reborn—reborn to be a benefit so others, to make them feel happy, to help them in the best way you can, and thank God you live for the glory of God and for the help of man. Happiness and good luck will come to you, but first live the right life, put your grumblings aside, and think of the good things you want and do good as you go along, and good luck will come to you. You are not unlucky, but you have acquired the habit of making yourself so.
October 24th.—You have a positive, determined nature and are fit to manage home, business, and a good husband. You make a good, true friend, and will be lucky to people in general, as you are good-hearted and liberal, though you can be strict and severe if treated wrong, as you will not stand much abuse. You have a very interesting personality, as you are phychic and mediumistic, and you have many feelings about what you should do or leave alone. You must follow your impressions and also develop your higher powers, as it will be of great help to you in life. You have suffered from secret evil forces and from evil people, but God is your protector and you are safe against any serious troubles in the future. There is some trouble in the family, but it will pass away. You had a serious and rather difficult life, but the future looks better for you. There are changes for the better and trips and new acquaintances and events that will improve your life in general, so be glad, dear sister, that you have passed the most troublesome years of your life and the future will be better for you.
July 4th.—Born to be as changeable as the moon makes many changes, yet you are firm in many ways, and it can be said that you are dear and good and full of sympathy. You have great feeling for the sick and unfortunate, and you have been a great help and comfort to many. You are a physician by nature, and a nurse by vocation, and a great humanitarian through the great good powers of your good heart. You are a wonderfully born person, to be a blessing to humanity. You have a great, good life ahead of you, though there are many trials and gloomy conditions in your path, yet there is great success and happiness ahead of you. I see several men very much in love with you. There is a certain professional man dying about you. You are popular with both sexes, but your luck is greater with men. Some prominent men will benefit you. You have some very strong enemies who are trying hard to interfere with your success in life, but a great protecting power will shield you. There are some very good conditions ahead of you.
November 22d.—Your prospects are bright for the year, so make your plans right, enter a good business and manage it well. You will have trouble, in your family, but it will pass away within a few months and
you will be all right again. A large, well-built man will misuse your money if you enter partnership with him. It seems he comes from the North, and will try to influence you that way. Avoid risks and do not expect great things the next three month. In general the year is good.
June 1st.—Within about a month you will marry a short, plump, fair lady. She is mild in manner, but of a serious turn of mind, so beware, she will not be smiles all the time. Do right by her or she will leave you the first time you impose on her or wrong her. Treat her right and she will make you very happy. Do not make a change in business as yet, as the stars are not in your favor that way just now; but the summer and the fall of this year are better for you.
December 6th. I see you have several undertakings in mind, but hold back, as the enterprises are not the right ones for you. You had better leave that position when you feel you can get a better one; but do not leave it this month, as the prospects are not good for you in a business way for about three months; after that you can make changes and you will do better. Avoid offending those around you in business, or they will conspire against you and cause you to lose your position.
March 3d. Your luck does not run right now, but it will soon change for the better. Be glad you have escaped injury to body and death last year, for I see a great angel was with you, for more than seven months, shielding you, protecting you all the time, and at times you must have realized that a great good power was working for your good. In a month or so you will have better stars in your favor and all will be well with you again.

There is a great howl and kick about the Irish being free. But we fail to hear anything about the Negro being free in certain parts of the country, namely, the Southern part of the United States. As we said before, wherever law conflicts there ain't no law. The law of the United States says that all are free and equal, and yet certain classes of its citizens are deprived of their rights as citizens, and the great cry is, State Right Laws must predominate.

The ‘house “was . decorated with
roses, carnations, tulips, lilies, sweet
peas and. pot flowers.

with their presence, as well’as other
friends: ‘The’ attendance “was large.
The reception was from 2 to 6 p.m.
Soon after :the hands’ ‘of the clock
reached 2 there was a steady crowd
coming and going until long after 6
o'clock. . ‘
They received many beautiful and
useful: “presents. . Many of their
friends were unable to attend, but
remembered them with a token of
some kind: ‘The occasion was most
enjoyable, . Among” tle out-of-town

Dr..‘l. ‘Theo. Parker has recently added this table to his oifice. It is
something entirely. new and, wonderful in‘construction, -Its "universal ’joint”
conforms with. the ‘principtes of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints,
and is remarkably adapted to n.anipulative (reatment of the human spine.
When it is remembered that the spine is the “backbone” of the body.
and ¢ontains the spinal cord which gives: off nerves ‘to every organ, ‘tissue
and muscle, it wil! readily be understood that health and strengtli depend
targely on the condition of the spine. Crooked or stiff spine cause: various

cures these troubles by. correcting the spine. Women who are suffering

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS.
(By the Sage of the Potomac.)
The ten-pin rollers have begun to set up the pegs for the political games that are to take place in 1920. A majority of the players are from the south who have lost out at their homes. They claim that they can teach the local political players how to roll "ten-pins." Our local boys say that they don't intend to take lessons from outsiders any more. They have never been successful at anything. They have not only put local politics on the bum, but everything in which they have been engaged.
Dr. Durkee of Howard University will investigate the personnel of the Bole Club and to see what its status us. This club has no standing with the reformed president of the university, and in a very short time it will be a novelty in the schools in which it has held sway for a number of years. Now if any one can inform the Sage just what good it has done the Sage will turn up the assassin of Alex Warner and make Sergt. Detective Beckly a captain of a separate police precinct.
The Boles, of course, don't want any segregation, and neither do they want graduates from other great institutions among them. It is not what they want but what President Durkee intends giving them in a few months.
In speaking of the Evangelist Alex Willbanks and his ancient teachings I have long since learned that it is an ancient grudge those traducers have against this progressive evangelist. Dr. Willbanks has been persued by these ancient traducers for a number of years. The more they abuse him the more the people are anxious to see and hear him. At a recent meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, held a few days ago, a motion was made to postpone its annual reception to the Baltimore conference because there was an objectionable feature that it must overcome. A very sensible and learned young member of the conference.

whose name I will not mention, showed the wise and the most ancient members that they were wrong. After he had enlightened those who ought to be factors in the conference that it was decided to pull it off. Now, when you dissect the grievances these objectors, who have no force and have done nothing for humanity, it was discovered that Evangelist Willbanks had greater persuasive qualities than his traducers. Every time the evangelist is attacked the more anxious the people become to hear him. His last invitation was to North Carolina, where he will be met by a brass band and several thousand people. Now just consider for a moment what the conference has done. By a vote of 24 to 12—two to one—Rev. Willbanks was sustained. The objectors then called a club council, which was packed. The star witness was present and her statement was magnified and believed, and yet it was not believed under oath in court. This star witness then repudiated statements that were made at the council and made an affidavit exposing the entire former statement. I have often wondered whether there is any virtue in some of these so-called Christian ministers. The people are not to be deceived by the vicious attacks that are now being made upon the evangelist.
The income tax returns don't show that any colored professional has an income of two thousand dollars net. I wonder what has become of the great claims that were made last year of the thousands of dollars income? We have more paupers among us than millionaires. That we have even had some of them who haven't got cash enough to take a trip to Baltimore to visit Uncle Shorty. Uncle Shorty, who has been the depository of our local financiers for some time can testify to this.

Dr. Hayden Johnson is a candidate for reappointment on the Board of Education. The people are anxious to see Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Attorney R. R. Homan, or some other race representative on the school board. Dr. Johnson's friends claim that he will be reappointed: However, he is making a stiff fight to succeed himself. Supt. Roscoe Bruce would prefer James A. Cobb, his special attorney. Judge Siddons has not made up his mind as yet. The kitchen cabinet must be consulted before an appointment is made. The people will have but little to say. The kitchen cabinet always has a pull with the appointing power. If the people were consulted conditions on the board of education would be different.
ROQSEVELT COMMITTEE
TO DECIDE ON MEMORIAL
New York, March 20.—The meeting of the Roosevelt Permanent Memorial National Committee next Monday will bring, together as notable a gathering as has been held in New York City in many years. Col. William Boyce Thompson will preside, and among the distinguished men who will be present will be ex-President Taft, ex-Justice Hughes, General Wood, Admiral Peary, Senator Lodge, Senator Hiram Johnson, Senator Newberry, John Burroughs, and others of equal eminence.
Hundreds of suggestions for various kinds of memorials which have come to the national headquarters from all over the country have been published in a book, which will be submitted to the members. A number of notable men who have proposed plans of particular significance, have been invited to address the meeting. Among these are George Shiras, 3d., the famous faunal naturalist, who will urge a Roosevelt foundation for the preservation of wild life, and William Loeb, Jr., who will speak on the project for creating a seaside park at Oyster Bay.

of the National Association of Audubon Societies, has proposed the creation by "lovers of outdoors" of a bird foundation in memory of Col. Roosevelt, and will defend that project. H. D. Watson, of Kearney, Neb., will propose the creation of a model farm community in honor of the former President. Mr. Watson is one of the best known agriculturists of the Middle West, and the only citizen of Nebraska who has received the thanks of the State Legislature for his public services.
An elaborate Americanization plan has recently been submitted by an anonymous friend of Col. Roosevelt, and, it is understood, will form the subject of considerable debate. A large number of the members of the committee are said to favor some Americanization project as the most fitting memorial to Col. Roosevelt.

Report of Provost Marshal General to the Secretary of War Tells Authoritatively of the Patriotism, Valor and Cheerful Service of Colored Americans Called to Defend the Flag—The Labors of Special Assistant Scott Commended.
The following extract from the official report of the Provost Marshal General of the United States army to the Secretary of War, gives a highly interesting and informing story of the part played by the colored soldiers who were called to the defence of the flag of this nation through the operation of the selective draft law:
"The part that has been played by the Negro in the great world drama upon which the curtain is now about to fall is but another proof of the complete unity of the various elements that go to make up this great nation. Passing through the sad and rigorous experience of slavery; ushered into a sphere of civil and political activity where he was to match his endeavors with those of his former masters still embittered by defeat; gradually working his way toward the achievement of success that would enable both him and the world to justify his new life of freedom; surrounded for over half a century of his new life by the specter of that slavedom through which he had for centuries past laboriously toiled; met continuously by the prejudice born of tradition, still the slave to a large extent, of superstition fed by ignorance—in the light of this history, some doubt was felt and expressed by the best friends of the Negro, when the call came for a draft upon the manpower of the nation, whether he would possess sufficient stamina to measure up to the full duty of citizenship, and would give to the Stars and Stripes, that had guaranteed for him the same liberty now sought for all nations and races, the response that was its due. And, on the part of many of the leaders of the Negro race, there was apprehension that the sense of fair play and fair dealing, which is so essentially an American characteristic, would not, may could not, in a country of such diversified views, with sectional feeling still slumbering but not dead, be meted out to the members of the colored race.
"How groundless such fears, how ill considered such doubts, may be seen from the statistical record of the draft with relation to the Negro. His race furnished its quota, and uncomplainingly, yes, cheerfully. History, indeed, will be unable to record the fullness of his spirit in the war, for the reason that opportunities for enlistment were not open to him to the same extent as to the whites. But enough can be gathered from the records to show that he is the same martial spirit that fired his white fellow citizen in the native for world freedom.
As a general rule, he was fair in his dealings with drafts considered in the majority of cases, having the assistance of his white employers, he was able to present fairly such claims for deferment or discharge as he may have had, for the consideration of the various drafts boards. In consequence, there appears to have been no racial discrimination made in the determination of his claims. Indeed, the proportion of claims granted to claims filled by members of the Negro race compare favorably with the proportion of claims granted to members of the white race.
"That the men of the colored race were as ready to serve as their white neighbors is amply proved by the reports from the local boards. A Pennsylvania board, remarking upon the eagerness of its colored registrants to be induced, illustrated this by the action of one registrant, who, upon learning that his employer had had him placed upon the emergency fleet list, quit his job. Another registrant, who was believed by the board to be above draft age, insisted that he was not, and, in stating that he was not married, explained that the "wanted only one war at a time."
"The following descriptions from Oklahoma and Arkansas boards are typical, the first serving to perpetuate one of the best epigrams of the war:
"We tried to treat the Negroes with exactly the same consideration as was shown the whites. We had the same speakers to address them. The Rotary Club presented them with small silk flags, as they did the whites. The band turned out to escort them to the train. And the Negroes went to camp with as cheerful a spirit as did the white men. One of them, when asked if he were going to France, said: 'No, sir, Ise swine to France. Ise gwine through
"In dealing with the Negroes, the southern boards gained a richness of experience that is without parallel. No other class of citizens was more loyal to the government, or more ready to answer the country's call. The only blot upon their military record was the great number of delinquents among the more ignorant; but in the majority of cases this was traced to an ignorance of the regulations, or to the withholding of mail by the landlord (often himself an aristocratic slacker) in order to retain the man's labor."
SIXTY DOLLARS BONUS TO SOLDIERS.
U. S. Government Gives $60 in Cash to Soldiers, Officers, Female Nurses, etc., Who Have Resigned or Who Have Been Honorably Discharged Since April 6, 1917.
In order that colored soldiers and sailors may be duly informed as to their right under a recent law passed by Congress, and thereby be in a position to promptly take advantage of the government's plan to extend financial help to all soldiers, etc., who have been honorably separated from military or naval service, the United States government, by act of Congress, approved February 24, 1919, grants to all soldiers, officers, female nurses, etc., who have either resigned or who have been honorably discharged since April 6, 1917, or who may resign or be honorably discharged before the expiration of their enlistment period, a $60 bonus in cash.
The way and manner in which the cash bonus of $60 may be obtained by honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, female nurses, etc., is fully set forth in War Department order, issued by the adjutant general of the Army, February 25, 1919, and sent to all department and camp commanders, general hospitals, etc.
This amount shall not be paid to any person who, though appointed or inducted into the military or naval forces on or prior to November 11, 1918, had not reported for duty at his station on or prior to such date, or to any person who is entitled to receive retired pay, etc.
All persons separated from active military, service from April 6, 1917, who are entitled to the sixty-dollar bonus, and who have received their final pay, will forward claim for such bonus direct to the zone finance officer.. Lemon Building, Washington, D. C., who is hereby designated to settle such claims.
Such applications must contain the discharge certificate or order for discharge or relief, if no certificate was issued, the paper bearing indorsement of final payment being required.
A statement of all military service since April 6, 1917, showing place and date of reporting at first military station and stating the address to which check is to be sent.
(It is suggested that these papers and data be sent to said zone finance officer by registered mail to insure their safe delivery.)
When settlement is made, all personal papers will be returned to applicant with check.
No further correspondence is necessary except to advise of change in address of applicant. No other dishursing officers are authorized to pay claims covered by this paragraph.
Agencies that work among colored people, including teachers, college men and others, are specially requested to communicate the above information to colored soldiers and their families in order that they may take the necessary steps to secure the sixty-dollar bonus which the government has set aside for the benefit of those brave and loyal men who came to the rescue of their country in its crucial hour of need.
THE COLORED ARTISTS MADE GOOD SHOWING.
(From the Evening Star.) Quite an extraordinary little exhibition of paintings and sculpture by colored art workers was held at the Dunbar High School on 1st street, during the past fortnight. This exhibition consisted of the work of colored artists and art students, not only in Washington, but in different parts of the United States, who have lately banded together and formed an organization styled the "Tanner Art Students' Society," with 'the purpose of mutual aid and with the object of holding yearly exhibitions. The project was initiated by William D. Nixon, director of drawing at the Dunbar High School, and his associates in the art department, and had the full sanction of the principal of the school.
It was a small but an exceedingly laudable showing; about thirty paintings and one-half dozen or more works in sculpture. Notable for

merit were five water colors by Julien Abele, who has studied and traveled extensively abroad. These water colors were of well known places in foreign countries; one pictured a portion of a ruined Greek temple; another was a scene at Taomina; a third, and, perhaps, the best of all, was a bit of the garden of the Alhambra. These water colors would easily hold their own in any exhibition. They were well drawn, beautiful in color, finely rendered.
Laura Wheeler of Philadelphia also made important contributions, showing figure studies of considerable merit and charm. Two were in color. One, and perhaps the most notable, was in black and white. a picture small in dimensions but large in significance and displaying exceptional appreciation of the value of scale and exceptional skill in the use of masses in black and white.
W. E. Scott showed a water color, "The Shepherd and His *Flock,* broadly painted and with good scenic quality. John E. Washington exhibited an oil painting entitled "Eventide," which had good tonal quality. William D. Nixon contributed paintings entitled "Evening," "Under the Old Oak" and "The Glimpse of the Brook," all of which gave indication of good taste and artistic feeling.
Among the sculpture was a plaque of Samuel Coolidge Taylor by Meta Werwick Fuller, very finely modeled, and a bust and a statuette by May Howard Jackson (who, by the way, is represented by a portrait of a little child, in the Corcoran gallery's present loan collection), which gave frank testimony to her talent. Some of the work, of course, was less, known than these named, but this exhibition is to be regarded merely as a beginning, and as such it gave encouragement and promise.
The society takes its name from H. O. Tanner, who has won, through numerous religious paintings, an international reputation. The Dunbar High School is fortunate in the possession of an exceptionally fine landscape, a wonderful painting of sunset by the late E. C. Messer, presented by the artist to the school at the time of its dedication.
A colored paper containing bol-sheviki propaganda is now being published in New York and, given wide circulation. Some of the stuff published: "For the Negro neither property, life, liberty or pursuit of happiness is secure in the Southern section of the United States.

The Republicans have now the chance of their lives if they work together and give to their members a square deal. The way things are now moving it will take them at least fifty years to get right. One of the many things is to see that the colored voters are protected in their rights to vote in the Southern States. Also that they are protected in their civil rights. There are over twelve million colored Americans in these United States.

From all reports European affairs seem to be in a mixed-up state, so far as the League of Nations is concerned. They are putting forth demands that if agreed to would impose great burdens upon the United States. Japan, on account of the race issue, will not be in the league. Senator Sherman of Illinois says that the President in attempting to pledge the United States to a League of Nations is either a usurper or a dictator. The people will have to decide this League of Nations business just as they will the Dry issue.
