This Nation's Gratitude --- THE COLORED AMERICANS' REWARD FOR FIGHTING FOR "WORLD DEMOCRACY" "Et Tu Brute?" The White Press to the Defense of the Weak, but Loyal and Patriotic Citizens. THE CAPITAL OF THE NATION IN DISGRACE. INNOCENT COLORED CITIZENS ATTACKED—NO RESPECT FOR PERSON OR PROPERTY—COLORED CITIZENS PULLED FROM STREET CARS AND ASSAULTED—POLICE DEPARTMENT APPEALED TO WITHOUT AVAIL—COLORED SECTIONS INVADED, BUT THE CITIZENS HELD THEIR OWN—THOUSANDS PURSUE ONE PERSON. The Nation's Capital is in disgrace. The great Capital of the Nation is in the hands of a mob, and innocent colored citizens are assaulted. Wednesday night the home of a colored woman in the northwest was broken into, and she deliberately killed the detective. The Colored Boulevard, known from You street to New Jersey avenue, was thronged with colored citizens Wednesday night. A report was circulated that eight hundred white men were marching up New Jersey avenue to invade the colored section. Colored men on bicycles went from house to house apprising the colored householders, who prepared themselves to meet the invaders. Hundreds of shots were fired in this section, until the arrival of the marines and sailors, who quelled the crowd. The officers—that is, some of them—in this precinct were very officious in arresting colored residents who were apparently committing no offense. 'A colored boy at Seventh and T streets was arrested by four officers, and he cried "Help!" Hundreds of colored men came to his assistance and cleared the neighborhood. For some time Major Pullman was conspicuous in this section, and he made himself conspicuously absent when it was circulated that he was in this section. The Major made an effort with the marines and sailors to disperse the mob. Many arrests were made in this precinct. At the corner of Eleventh and Eye streets northwest a mob of about three hundred assembled, looking for colored citizens to come down in the cars. A telephone message was sent to headquarters, and all the satisfaction that the informant got was, "I thank you." No officer came in this section—in fact, none could be seen. The mob, not seeing any colored people alight from the cars, or upon the streets in the neighborhood, then broke out and ran in the vicinity of Eleventh and K streets northwest, followed by hundreds of white women and white children—looking for some unprotected colored citizen to assault, no doubt. Similar conditions were witnessed in the vicinity of Eleventh and F, Ninth and G and Seventh and G streets. In the southwest the colored population held its own. Ethiopia reigned supreme in this section, with but one exception. A colored young woman was caught in a white neighborhood by four white men. She was made to undress and compelled to walk out of the neighborhood in a nude condition. A colored man, who saw her, ran for help, but he could not find anyone to go with him to the scene of the outrage to protect this young woman. The colored residents in this section were well fortified. In no section of the city was a colored person allowed where the mob reigned. It was a night of terror, and not a police officer, to any extent, could be found. Officer Dulany was active in South Washington. Detectives Beckley and Jackson were quite in evidence. On his way home Detective Jackson was shot. A police officer was hard to find. ```markdown ``` Military forces, armed with machine guns, made ineffectual efforts to stay the rush of the mobs. Hundreds of shots were fired and several street cars partly wrecked by the rioters. The rioting spread from the downtown section to the outlying residential portion of the Capital, where cavalryman were necessary to disperse mobs of armed colored men. One of the men shot received his wounds within a square of the White House. The mobs formed early in the evening, and reports of violence continued to pour into police headquarterts until morning. Preparations for trouble were made by police, military and naval authorities early in the evening, but the riots spread with such swiftness that many were injured before authorities could reach the scenes. The Washington Bee Efforts were made by police to keep the downtown streets clear of crowds, but their efforts were unavailing. CHARGED WITH KILLING DETECTIVE. Headquarters Detective Sergeant Harry Wilson was shot and instantly killed as he was entering a house at 220 G street northwest, where a fight was in progress. The fight was on the first floor. As Wilson ascended the steps, a shot was fired from a second floor window. Wilson fell with a bullet through his heart. Wilson deliberately sacrificed himself to save the life of a comrade, Detective Sergt. "Pat" O'Brien, veteran headquarters man. As the officers rushed forward the house, O'Brien was WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1919 in the lead. Just before the steps were reached Wi'son shoved O'Brien aside, with the remark: "I am a younger man than you, Pat, let me go first." Before O'Brien could reply he was thrust aside and Wilson had charged to his death. Other police breaking into the house captured Carrie Minor Johnson, colored, 17 years old, and charged her with the shooting. The girl had been shot in the hip, and was taken to Emergency Hospital. Albert Luck, Marine, was standing in front of the Riggs National Bank, Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, one square from the White House, when a crowd of white men attacked a colored man on a bicycle. The colored man drew a revolver and fired into the crowd, the bullet striking Luck in the neck. He was taken to Emergency Hospital, and is not expected to live. Theodore Walker, was arrested on a charge of shooting Luck. CAVALRYMAN KILLS TWO, IS REPORT. A cavalryman had his horse shot from under him shortly after 2 o'clock in hte morning by a party of colored men in an automobile. Undaunted, it is reported the cavalryman opened fire on the party and killed two of the colored men. More than 1,000 uniformed men were detailed to quell the riots. Four hunder of these were cavalrymen from Fort Myer and a like number were marinés from Quantico. Practically every hospital in the city was kept busy throughout the night attending to the wounded. Several hundred arrests were made, fifty-one of these being taken to the Eighth precinct on U street between Ninth and Tenth streets. Detective Sergt. J. T. Jackson, colored, was shot in the shoulder as he was getting on a car to go to his home at Ninth and New York avenue northwest. His condition is not serious. Thomas Armstead, colored, 1904 Ninth street northwest, was killed at 1:25 o'clock in the morning in rioting at Seventh and M streets northwest. Armstead received wounds in the back. He died on the way to the Homeopathic Hospital. MARINE GUARD KILLS RIOTER Patrolman Herbert Glassman was shot in the stomach and right leg while trying to quell rioting at Seventh and M streets northwest, shortly after 1 o'clock in the morning. His condition is critical. Glassman was taken to the Emergency Hospital in a motor truck. Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and Marines were used in an attempt to prevent rioting. Randall Neal, 22 years old, colored, 4'8 N street northwest, was struck on the head with a rifle butt, and shot through the right lung, at Fourth and N streets northwest. He died at Homeopathic Hospital. Neal, it is charged, attempted to hold up a street car. Charles Wesley Henning, a marine, doing guard duty, battled with the colored man, subduing him only after using his rifle. Standing on the rear platform of a southbound street car, at Seventh and G streets northwest, George Gentry, alias George Dent, colored, opened fire on a crowd of white persons. Dent was dragged from the street car and beaten. He continued to shoot, and finally was brought down by Detective Scrivener. In the exchange of shots, Albert Finlayson, white, 17 years old, 629 Fourth street northeast, was shot in the hip; Ernest A. Giovanetti, white, 13 years old, 470 K street northwest, was shot in the foot; William Sullivan, 222 O street northwest, and Chauncey Boldridge, white, 24 years old, 210 Fourth street southeast, were cut with flying glass.

(Continued on Second Page) DRUGGISTS IN MONTHLY The Druggists' Association of the District of Columbia held its regular monthly meeting on Thursday night, July 17, as the guest of Dr. Ben. F. Hailstorks, the popular pharmacist of the Southwest, at the residence of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Lucas, 1909 Thirteenth street northwest. It is remarkable to note the deep concern each of the members is now taking in this organization, which after many years of attempts to bring about a successful association of this kind among the many local druggists, finally became a realization two years ago this month. A special delivery letter was read to the association, which had just been received by the secretary, from a Boston, Mass., manufacturing house, soliciting orders and offering extraordinary terms, but the association is sending weekly orders, accompanied by their checks and will maintain this policy. Elsewhere in this issue notice the list of drugstores in the membership. PUBLIC MEETING. Race Riots to be Discussed—Action for Defense. The National Race Congress executive committee held a meeting on Wednesday, July 24, and planned for a great mass meeting to be held at John Wesley, Church at Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, Monday evening, August 4, 1919, at 8:30 o'clock. Great speaking; reports on investigation of the recent race riots; the attitude of the police department toward colored citizens; on organization of a local unit of the National Race Congress; presentation of the plan for defense. Every colored citizen in Washington is urged to be present. Every fraternity, church club and organization is invited to be present. MRS. E. J. WRIGHT GOES Mrs. E. J. Wright, wife of Mr. Q. W. Wright, is in New York City on a missionary project. She is doing good work there, and she received a royal reception. *** The citizens of Deanwood are requested to send all news matter to Mrs. Christiana Briggs, 1032 Whittingham place. SHAKE NOT The good and law-abiding white people, in common with the good and law-abiding colored people, condemn this most heinous crime that has demoralized the good name of the city of Washington. We plead not guilty, so "shake not your-gory locks" at us. SECRETARY OF LABOR CONTINUES NEGRO ECONOMICS. Secretary W. B. Wilson of the Department of Labor has informed Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, that he considers the information, advice and departmental aid furnished by the director of Negro economics so important that he requests him to continue the service. By the Sage of the Potomac. When Ralph W. Tyler went to France as an accredited correspondent of the government, every hothouse politician had an ambition to go also. Tyler went to France, and after his arrival there he sent many letters to this country, telling of the doings of the colored soldiers. When an opportunity presented itself he sent his first correspondent to The Bee of the treatment of colored soldiers by white officers from the South. That letter created a sensation throughout the country. DuBois then took it into his head that he also would like to go to France; then Mr. R. R. Moton also followed, accompanied by Lester Walton, of the New York Age. Then sprung up colored delegates from all over the country, they, too, ambitious to visit the Peace Conference. They, except Tyler—I mean those who arrived in France, after the war was over—held a pow-wow in Paris, called the Pan-American Conference. This conference resolved, dissolved, and left without accomplishing anything. There was a race, riot last Sunday night. Will the invaders know, in which section of the city to go? Hundreds of innocent colored citizens were attacked, and there was no power to defend them. This shows the weakness of the police force. When colored people try to hide their identity—I mean their nationality—I think they should be exposed. I noticed by the exchanges that my old friend Douglas McCarry testified in a case where his daughter married a white man and who said that he had been deceived. McCarry testified that he was not colored. In his testimony I failed to see where he mentioned the name of his brother, who is living in this city and is married to a colored woman. The McCarry's are very much colored, and have been for a number of years. Mac's brother is a Presbyterian minister and a clerk in the Pension Office. His name is Wallace McCarry. I don't think that he will say that he is white, or his wife, who associates with and is the companion of colored people. They have always been known in this city as colored, and they are very colored. The following is what took place in court "Omaha, Neb., July 18.—Douglas McCarry, the father of Mrs. Clara Dwyer, was the star witness in District Judge Troup's court in the hearing of the suit of Mrs. Dwyer's husband, Francis P. Dwyer (white) to have their marriage annulled on the ground that "Negro blood flows in her veins." The trial is in its second week. Judge Troup said after the arguments from both sides had been heard that he would render his decision the latter part of this week. The courtroom was crowded during the few days the trial has been heard, and Mr. McCarry, a man of very swarthy complexion, the front half of his head bald, and the back half covered with straight gray hair, was the center of attraction. He denied that there is any "colored blood" in his veins, and testified to his ancestry as follows: His Ancestry "Father, a politician in Mississippi, postmaster of the city of Nachez for four years and sheriff of the county for ten years and a slaveholder. Mother, a white woman, living now in Washington, D. C., 1523, Columbia street. Mother's mother, a school'ma' in Massachusetts, who went south to teach school. Father's father, a "red-headed Irishman." Opposed to this testimony regarding his being white are the following admissions of Mr. McCarry: Was Bank Cashier. "He was cashier of the Capital and Savings Bank, Washington, D. C., an institution operated and owned by "colored people." He stated that he didn't remember whether he had registered his name as "white" or "colored" in applying for a civil service position. Assistant Postmaster Woodward (white) testified that McCarry had worked at the postoffice for several years, but on objection by McCarry, he was not allowed to testify regarding the color under which he was registered there. Attorney Yeiser for Dwyer asked McCarry whether he would consent to have his photograph taken to be put in the record of the case if it goes to the supreme court. McCarry would not consent." The great trouble with some people is that they have the white fever. That has caused so much trouble in this city and elsewhere in the United States. How could Douglas McCarry swear under oath that he was white, when he is known in this city as a colored man and his wife as a colored woman? His brother, who has lived in this city for a number of years, is the husband of a colored woman and he a member of a colored church. CAPITAL OF THE NATION IN DISGRACE (Continued from first page.)

Chesapeake Station DRUGS, SODA WATER, CIGARS Phone Lincoln 3126 --- --- A QUARTER OF A CENTURY IN AMERICAN PUBLIC LIFE Sore through and through, with the domination of the "black-belt Democratic Party in Alabama, this "wheel within a wheel" political corruption, the Huntsville, Ala., Daily Tribune, jumped the partisan political traces to say, editorially, in an issue in December, 1895, the following: "That Alabama has reached the lowest state of political prostitution, none can question. That a reform movement is necessary, all know. But few, indeed, are those who have the courage to speak out—to point the finger of condemnation and scorn at the powers that be. We know that since 1878, under the color of preventing Negro domination, a republican form of government has absolutely been destroyed in Alabama. The voice of majorities has been silenced, and we know that during the process of dethroning the will of the majority, ignorance has increased, and the State has become hopelessly bankrupt. Our true condition today is that we are confronted by revolution. To prevent it, to deter men from asserting their rights, an infamous statute, making it a high crime to assert a color of title to office is being considered in the legislature of Alabama. A few politicians in darker Alabama make the nominations by jockeying out the aspirants and then counting in the nominee. As it is, the people are not in it, have no voice, and now have no interest." To preclude Reuben F. Kolb from asserting a right of title to the governorship of Alabama, to forestall his contesting it in any way, a bill was introduced in the Alabama legislature making it treason to claim election to office when the ballot-box stuffers in Alabama had counted out the opposing candidates. I spoke on this bill, introduced and championed by Mr. Knight, a member from the black-belt county of Hale, and then said: "Before we place punishment for the commission of any, alleged crime, we should have some means devised, some legislation arrived at, by which, we may determine the culprit really guilty of undertaking official usurpation of office." So long as we have no honest election law in Alabama, so long as the State is without a law providing for contesting elections under the forms of law, by which we may determine who is the usurper, I am opposed to any such legislation as is proposed. I warn that the red flag of insult may not be waved in the face of already outraged injury." Mr. Knight's bill did not pass. In 1901 this county of Hale, having a colored voting population of 5,370 and a white voting population of 1,381, returned 4,689 votes for the disfranchisement State constitution. Hale county counted 3,107 votes for the Democratic candidate for governor in 1894, whereas there were not, in all, 1,000 votes actually polled in the county. Yet this man Knight, this fraudocrat, wanted Kolb jailed for treason because he led the white people of Alabama in their fight for real democracy, as against the fraudocrats; this present Wilson world-wide South in the saddle Democracy, which now proposes to lead the world-wide democracy. In the precinct at which the Democratic governor of Alabama voted in Montgomery, the Republican-Populist-Fusian manager, who was appointed by the Democratic authorities, was an aged colored man who could neither read nor write. This is world-wide. South in the saddle Wilson Democracy in 'Alabama, as put in actual practice in 1894. Former State Auditor Burke, of Alabama, in an interview with a correspondent of the New Orleans Times-Democrat, in Mobile, may be quoted as excellent Democratic authority on the conditions then prevailing in Alabama. He said: "For years and years the State has been governed by a few men, who have decided beforehand who should be elected, and then elected them, or counted them in, which amounts to the same thing, and the masses of the people are tired of that sort of thing and propose to see a change." Hon. T. Scott Adams, secretary of state of Louisiana, had become so thoroughly disgusted with the black-belt manipulation in his State that he came to New Orleans and made a speech of welcome to the Southern Ballot Rights League, an organization that I put in motion, January, 1895, to fight election frauds in the South. A number of Republicans, Populists' and Independent Democrats responded to my call for this organization, and assembled in New Orleans January 18, 1895, when able men openly arraigned the existing state of affairs. Speeches were made setting forth the condition in every Southern State. Following the adjournment of the Alabama legislature in 1895, I came to New York City, in March, and set to work to interest the leading men of the Republican Party of the North in my purpose to acquaint the North with the conditions in the South. As it happened, Hon. Henry W. Blair, of New Hampshire, was registered at the hotel where I stopped, and we were soon working together in getting the interest of men like Gen. James S. Clarkson, Hon. John S. Wise, Hon. Eliju Root, Gen. Horace Porter, Col. Charles S. Denison and others in support of the undertaking to get nation-wide publicity of the facts I had brought North. I spoke at a dinner of the Republican Club in New York, the Union League in Philadelphia and went to Buffalo and Cleveland, Ohio, on this mission, before I returned to the South. The leading daily papers were liberal in printing the statements and in using the data handed to them. The effect of this work was to shame the Southern Democracy in its pretense of "white supremacy." It prepared the Northern public mind for the contests that were to come before Congress from the South. The work was not altogether fruitless, for the Reed Congress did its duty and unscared the fraudocrats. The existing condition in the South, one that was concocted to replace control by the ballot-box-stuffing oligarchy, is just as reprehensible as was that other of control by fraud. The present control is repression under the forms of laws, and the old methods were open fraud. THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT. Some Doings of Washingtonians and Other Folks. By R. W. T. Raymond Murray, one of the proprietors of the Hiawatha and Foraker Theatres, is at home again, after a lengthy sojourn in Colorado and the West in search of health. He was accompanied by his father, F. H. M. Murray, the well-known journalist. The young theatrical manager returns greatly improved in every way, and is enthusiastic over the West, especially Chicago, the home of Negro amusement magnates. He is delighted with the success his Washington houses are achieving under the direction of Rufus G. Byars, and says it is the luckiest combine he could possibly have made. Miss Marjorie Sipp, the popular soubrette, is rendering a bouquet of songs daily at the Howard Theatre, in connection with the supper and evening picture shows. Manager Rufus G. Byars is "going over the top" at the Foraker and the Hiawatha, infusing new life into both of these old stands. The new-fashion boxes at the Foraker are treats to lovers of comfort and style, and entertainment in the open air these hot nights is just what the people want. The enlargement of the Hiawatha is going on without interruption to business and will soon be completed. Over one hundred seats will be added. These are busy days at the office of the S. H. Dudley Theatrical Enterprises, 1223 Seventh street northwest. Besides handling the Mid-City Theatre and Dudley's U street house here, together with the bookings of vaudeville performers for three other houses in the city and a multitude on the outside, Mr. Dudley has just perfected arrangements with the Klein, Roovin and other circuits for a working agreement that will give all players under contract a full season of forty weeks and put them into the best theatres in the North, South and West. Mr. Dudley is also completing plans for sending out the most competent road company that has ever borne his name. A new book, new music, fine scenery and elaborate costumes have been provided, and it is expected that he will open at a convenient point some time in August. Mrs. Jennie B. Hillman, of New York, the most original designer the race has produced, has already supplied the tasteful and elaborate costumes, and those who have seen them pronounce the outfit the finest ever presented by a Dudley show—and he believes in "some dressing." S. H. Dudley is delivering the goods. He is ably assisted by his local manager, Miss Desdemona Barnett, whose fidelity and businesslike methods have contributed in the largest measure to the success of the Dudley Theatrical Enterprises.

It is so strange that no disarm defenseless colored citizens and not the whites. Men were arrested for carrying because they had weapons in their houses—that active J. T. Jackson was shot by a white man in his carpenter, The Bee is informed. Was it the assailant? Has the city gone wild upon a young colored girl, referred to elsewhere, were all colored men arrested and no white invading the homes of colored citizens are ever seen? Why were street cars invaded by colored citizens snatched from the cars, and no one see the number of colored citizens tried and arrested. The police department could not protect they were forced to protect themselves. And white officers seek colored citizens, disarm under arrest? It is charged that the bad elephant were in the mob. This The Bee denies. Colored people was common, and the mob did man or woman, so long as his or her facies were warned and appealed to to givection Monday night. Representative color upon the Commissioners and asked for progrement was given them. The Commissioners the colored citizens would do no more than the colored citizens of Washington area, man or woman, so long as his or her face the colored citizens do not crave white assortment exceptions. The "lily-white" colored man means those who have tried to go away from his white companionship. To some extent elements have encouraged this class of colored class that disgraced society in the Moens scarcity schools to be prostituted.

All honor to be consided with the law-abiding colored citizens. The soldiers and marines started the riot against the colored citizens for no cause whatever. It is so strange that every effort was made to disarm defenseless colored citizens and no effort made to disarm the whites. Men were arrested for carrying concealed weapons because they had weapons in their houses—that is, colored men. Detective J. T. Jackson was shot by a white man in the presence of his carpenter, The Bee is informed. Was any attempt made to arrest the assailant? Has the city gone wild over the assault made upon a young colored girl, referred to elsewhere in The Bee? Why were all colored men arrested and no white men—men who were invading the homes of colored citizens and pursuing them wherever seen? Why were street cars invaded by white men and colored citizens snatched from the cars, and no arrests made? But you can see the number of colored citizens tried and convicted in the courts. The police department could not protect the colored citizens, so they were forced to protect themselves. Why did white officers seek colored citizens, disarm them and place them under arrest? It is charged that the bad element of the colored people were in the mob. This The Bee denies. The cause of all the colored people was common, and the mob did not respect any colored man or woman, so long as his or her fact was black. The authorities were warned and appealed to to give the colored people protection Monday night. Representative colored delegations called upon the Commissioners and asked for protection, but no encouragement was given them. The Commissioners were informed that the colored citizens would do no more than protect themselves. The colored citizens of Washington are law-abiding any colored man or woman, so long as his or her face was black. The sensible colored citizens do not crave white associates; there may be a few exceptions. The "lily-white" colored man or woman (The Bee means those who have tried to go away from the colored race) craves white companionship. To some extent the Government departments have encouraged this class of colored people. It was this class that disgraced society in the Moens scandal, which caused our schools to be prostituted. The Bee extends its gratitude to those white citizens who had the courage and heart to protect the colored citizens to the best of their ability. They know that the riot was not started by the colored people; they know that out of the one hundred thousand colored people in this city, nine-tenths of them are law-abiding, and not even the other tenth will violate the law if proper treatment is accorded them. The Bee regrets the death of Detective Wilson. He can only blame himself. At the corner of Seventh and Florida avenue, the evening of the riot, he was vindictive toward the colored people. Did he have the right to invade the home of the person who shot him? Did he see a felony committed? Did he witness a murderous assault? If he did, he was justified in entering and his assailant should be punished; if not, he had not right to enter this home. No respectable colored person was safe upon the streets. The whites started it, and The Bee regrets it. All honor to the white citizens who sided with the law-abiding colored citizens! NOT TO BLAME. first attack on colored citizens for acts common orderers and cut-throats of the race is not the case of the law-abiding colored citizens in the ago, which editorial was reproduced in in The Evening Star. The white people in the eating enough. Those who have lived in the that the respectable class of colored citizen as the respectable class of white citizen The unjust attack on colored citizens for acts committed by the jacklegs murderers and cut-throats of the race is not fair. The Bee stated the case of the law-abiding colored citizens in its issue a few weeks ago, which editorial was reproduced in its able contemporary, The Evening Star. The white people in this city are not discriminating enough. Those who have lived in this city for years know that the respectable class of colored citizens are just as law-abiding as the respectable class of white citizens, and they don't believe in colored highwaymen assaulting young women, white or colored. The most dastardly act that has ever been committed in this city was the assault and murder of a young war worker by Jackson. Why should the white people seek to avenge their wrath by assaulting innocent, respectable and law-abiding citizens? They are not responsible for the brutal conduct of people who have no respect for law or order or the honor of females. Detectives from the police department deliberately walked into the drug store of Dr. Napper and relieved two clerks of revolvers. The most surprising acts were the arrest of colored men and few white men. Colored men had their revolvers taken from them and charged with carrying concealed weapons, and in the Police Court Tuesday morning every colored man who was tried, with but few exceptions, was found guilty and fined $25 for disorderly conduct. A colored man was charged with disorderly conduct. The testimony of the officer was that this particular colored man was standing on Seventh street and made some remarks. The colored man testified that he drove up in front of an eating saloon and left his automobile standing in front of the place for five minutes. While he was eating the officer came up, and when he came out he was placed under arrest. He was fined $25, A white man was charged with pursuing a colored man and throwing stones. The officer testified that he saw the white man drop the stone while he was chasing the colored man, and saw him pick it up. The stone was produced in court. He was fined $15. It will be seen that the greatest number of arrests were of colored men and women, while the aggressors were white. From the conduct of the officers and those who were supposed to preserve order the colored citizens, regardless of standing, were abused and arrested. "JIM-CROW" CARS. Why should a "jim-crow" car law be passed by Congress? What offenses have the colored people committed? Is it expected that innocent people are to stand up and be shot and make no resistance? No, never! We shall never shoot unless you invade our homes and attempt to kill our wives and children. Why should a "jim-crow" What offenses have the colored that innocent people are to stand sistance? No, never! We she our homes and attempt to kill our We denounce the rapist! (From the New York World, July 23) One of the most brutal forms of oppression is the punishment of a whole race for the crimes of individuals. For many years this has been, and it still is, the practice in American States that do not recognize the citizenship of the Negro. To accuse a black man is to condemn him to torture and death, and resentment on the part of kindred is held to justify massacres that are complacently dignified as race wars. What we see now in Washington is more properly to be thus classified than any other disturbance that we have had, and there is a reason for it worthy of serious consideration. Negroes are taking part in the hostilities. If they are assaulted or shot, they are assaulting and shooting in return. In defense of life, limb and liberty they are meeting mobs with mobs. Deplorable as all this lawlessness is, the response of the black man to the white man was bound to come some time: The Negro has long been free. He has acquired, some education and property. He has made a place for himself in industry. The laws under which he lives guarantee him equality. He escapes no responsibility that rests upon the white man. Yet in large sections of the Union, when riot is afoot, he is stripped of every right and driven either into hiding or violence. Is there anybody at the South or elsewhere who imagines that the compulsory service of 360,000 Negroes in the United States Army, in many instances so creditably as to win high commendation, has had no influence upon them or the mass of their people at home? Who is foolish enough to assume that with 239,000 colored men in uniform from the Southern States alone, as against 370,000 white men, the blacks whose manhood and patriotism were thus recognized and tested are forever to be flogged, lynched, burned at the stake or chased into concealment whenever Caucasian desperadoes are moved to engage in these infamous pastimes? We grieve over the hardships of many subject peoples a long way off and on occasion manifest something resembling indignation, but in all the world there is hardly a population so God-forsaken and law-forsaken as our own blacks. Whether it is agreeable or not, therefore, the Washington outbreak is a warning to all Americans that their race wars thereafter are going to be race wars. The Negro citizen is going to have his day in court. It ought not to be necessary for him to fight for it. APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT. In connection with the race riots in Washington, D. C., the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today telegraphed President Wilson, warning of the danger of such outbreaks elsewhere. The telegram called upon him as President to condemn mob violence in the National Capital and as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the nation to enforce military law. The telegram is as follows: "In the name of twelve million Negroes of the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully calls your attention to the shame put upon the country by the mobs, including United States soldiers, sailors and marines, which have assaulted innocent and unoffending Negroes on the streets and pulled from street cars to beat them. Crowds are reported by New York Times to have directed attacks against any passing Negro by cries of 'There he goes.' The effect of such riots in the National Capital-upon race antagonism will be to increase bitterness and danger of outbreaks elsewhere. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon you as President and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the nation to make statement condemning mob violence and to enforce such military law as situation demands. "John R. Shillady, "Secretary." car law be passed by Congress? people committed? Is it expected and up and be shot and make no recall never shoot unless you invade our wives and children. SPECIAL NOTICE. John T. Gant, of 437 First street southwest, Washington, D. C., former sergeant, Company A, 368th Infantry, has just received the "decoration militaire" awarded him by the Belgian government for conspicuous bravery at Grand Rue, Vosges, September 1, 1918. In addition to the above-mentioned engagement, Sergt. Gant was present at the Battle of Binarville, Foret de Argonne, France, September 30, 1918, and the Reserve Metz Front, Marbech Sector, November 10, 1918, and was wounded twice. Sergt. Gant's enlistment record reports his character as "excellent" and his service as "honest and faithful." He was honorably discharged March 4, 1919, and was immediately reinstated to his former position with the Standard Oil Company. The Colored People Had to Prepare To. Defend Themselves: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it is reported, had National Committeeman Costello go to the White House or the War Department to find out what had been done to defend the Colored people from the riots. The following committee from the Parents' League had already had a conference with Secretary Baker and Mr. Tumulty: Rev. W. D. Jarvis, Rev. C. M. Tanner, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Rev. James L. Pinn, Joseph H. Stewart and others. Is the report true that certain schools had machine guns placed in them? The Parents' League obtained certain information that something was off, so Prof. Craig had printed 50,000 of the following circulars and hired three automobiles to distribute them: NOTICE TO THE COLORED CITIZENS. We advise our people, in the interest of law and order and to avoid the loss of life and injury, to go home before dark and to remain quiet and to protect themselves. Do not assemble in crowds on any street in the city, as the authorities have ordered soldiers, marines, etc., to disperse all crowds and to shoot into them, if necessary. Parents' League of the D. C.

HOTEL NEWS The fight that is now raging at the Capitol on the liquor question took a new turn during the week when Congressman Siegel of New York warned the Southern Members of the House who, have been advocating prohibition that if Congress passes the prohibition enforcement bill, giving the Federal Government power to enforce prohibition in the States, it will pass laws making it certain that all Negroes in Southern States can vote. Mr. Siegel, like hundreds of other staunch Republicans in and out of Congress, will see in a very few months, the ending of many a political career, especially the solons who have become famous by prohibition and Southern jim-crow laws. Voters will not vote for men who advocate legislation which interferes with the personal rights and liberties of the American people.

The McKinley Memorial Baptist Church, corner of Fourth and L streets northwest, Rev. - S. Geriali Lankins, pastor, is in first-class condition in every way. It is more prosperous now than it has been at any time since its organization. The pastor and members are highly pleased at the glorious success that has been attending their efforts. Rev. G. A. Burke, D. D., of Columbia, S. C., one of the greatest preachers that has ever visited Washington, preached at the McKinley Church two weeks during the past month. He is truly a wonderful evangelist, a good singer and one of the most eloquent preachers of the Sunny South. Dr. H. W. Colston, the famous evangelist of Pittsburgh and Chicago, who has recently adopted Washington as his home, is preaching with great pathos and power on every week night at the McKinley Memorial Church. He has conducted some of the most successful meetings that have ever been held in Washington by any evangelist, and we are looking for great things out of these meetings. SERGEANT GANT. Decorated for Conspicuous Service Washington Boy Honored. John T. Gant, of 437 First street southwest, sergeant, Company, A, 368th Infantry, has just received by registered mail the Decoration Militaire, awarded him by the Belgian Government for conspicuous bravery at Grand Rue, Vosges, September 1, 1918. In addition to the above-mentioned engagement, Sergeant Gant was present at the battle of Binarville, Foret de Argonne, France, September 30, 1918, and the Reserve Metz Front, Marbech Sector, November 10, 1918.

BASEBALL Monday, July 7.—Naval Gun Factory vs. Y. M. C. A. This game was postponed for the game in the American League Park. The Naval Gun Factory played the Baltimore Black Socks. Wednesday, July 9.—Naval Reserves 10, Alcoes 3. The Reserves ran wild with the Alcoes, hitting Martin mercilessly. The batting percentage for the Reserves that day was .499. Batteries: Alcoes—Martin and Upshaw; Reserves—Woods and Parker. Hits—Alcoes 8, Reserves 19. Left on bases—Reserves 3, Alcoes 6. Thursday, July 10.—Holy Name Guild vs. Washington Athletics. Wet grounds. The disposition of the game is yet to be decided. Saturday, July 12.—Naval Gun Factory 7, Alcoes 8. So the Alcoes did it. They took the first game that the Naval Gun Factory has lost in the league during the season. It was a great game and full of thrills. The game was a see-saw, one team being first up and then down. Batteries: Naval Gun Factory — Stevenson, Green, Parker and Harris, Alcoes—Johnson and Upshaw. In the third inning the score was 5 to 3 favor the Gunners, in the seventh it was 6 to 5 favor Alcoes, in the eighth it was 7 to 6 in favor of the Gunners, in the ninth it was a tie, and the game ran for an extra inning. The Gun Factory had their inning, but were unable to score. With two men down for the Alcoes, Johnson got a double, B. Kenner followed him with another double and broke up the game. The final score was 8 to 7 in favor of the Alcoes. Manager Green has no albi. He said his team simply lost. This game put new life into the teams, and there will be a scramble for the top. This, by the way, was the first extra-inning game of the season. Monday, July 14.—Naval Reserves' 6, Holy Name Guild 14. The Guild starts off the second series by blogging the Reserves. This goes further to prove that there will be no easy-sailing for the league leader of this series. Funny things happen in baseball. Manager Brown says his team will win this series. He has a chance, to say the least. The whole Reserve team had an off day on Monday. It was their worst game of the season. The Guild hit Fowler all over the grounds, but he stuck out through the game, much to the good pleasure of the Guild. He gave up six two-baggers and three three-baggers, besides the singles. Capt. Childs got three hits, so everybody must have been hitting. Teams. W. L. Pct. Y. M. C.

Major Edward, Kent Armstrong, of Cape May, N.J., who has been engaged in relief work for the American Red Cross in the Holy Land, was instantly killed in an automobile accident at Beirut on the night of May 31, according to a cable message received today at Red Cross Headquarters. He sustained a fractured skull when the car in which he was riding plunged over the side of a 30-foot culvert. Major Armstrong, who is. well known in Chicago, where he practiced medicine for a number of years, has been in Red Cross service overseas since April, 1918. For several months he was engaged in child welfare work in France, leaving for Palestine last January to take up similar work in that country. He was a graduate of the University of Illinois and an associate professor of pediatrics at that institution. At one time he was superintendent of the Communicable Disease Hospital of Chicago and attending physician at the children's department of the Cook County Hospital. The cable message says Major Armstrong was buried in the American cemetery at Beirut with full military honors. MRS. SPAULDING DEAD.

WAR CAMP COMMUNITY There is no welfare organization that is doing more to unite the returning soldier and sailor with the folks back home than the War Camp Community Service. Club No. 3, 2011 Georgia avenue, of this city. Every day shows how necessary this organization is for the comfort of the soldier and the sailor. Hundreds of them make their way to this club every day. The civilian population is showing interest as well as the military men. There is always a crowd of young ladies and gentlemen on hand to entertain the stranger when he visits the club. Several young people have volunteer organizations for the purpose of giving entertainments, concerts, dances and organizing outdoor games for soldiers and sailors who visit the club. The boys at Walter Reed and St. Elizabeth Hospitals are not forgotten. Each week a number of these boys are chaperoned to some church or hall by Mrs. J. M. Layton, W. C. C. S. of Club No. 3, where they are served refreshments after an outing in one of the W. C. C. S. trucks. The War Camp Community Service has taken over the room registration and housing bureau formerly conducted by the Department of Labor. For the present, the employees of the room registration and housing bureau will maintain their offices at the Twelfth street branch of the Y. M. C. A. The management of the W. C. C.

A gift of a purse was made to her by the young people's auxiliary at the close of the exercises. Refreshments of cream, punch and cake were served to all at the close of the activities of the evening. War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, 2011 Georgia avenue, was crowded Saturday night, July 12, with soldiers, sailors and the young ladies who have worked in the club since its opening. It was their joy Julia Mason Layton, who has served as mother and big sister to the soldier boys ever since the war began, in addition to her work in Walter Reed Hospital and Providence and the Naval Hospitals and near-by camps. The surprise was kept a secret from the guests until 10:30, when the whistle blew. Music and dancing ceased for a short while. Judge Robert H. Terrell, ex-Register of the Treasury; Hon. Judson W. Lyons and J. Finley Wilson ascended the rostrum. Judge Terrell called the house to order. He introduced Hon. Judson W. Lyons, who paid a glowing tribute to Mrs. Layton. Judge Terrell was the next speaker. He said he had known Mrs. Layton all of her life. He said she was one of the best teachers that was ever in the service of the public schools, of Washington, D. C. He told how she spent her hours after school work, was done in charitable uplift work. He expressed a desire that the school teachers of today would do likewise. He also paid her a tribute as a W. C. C. S. worker. After extended remarks in terms that only Judge Terrell can make, he presented Mrs. Layton a well-filled purse from her boys and girls. It was such a surprise to Mrs. Layton that for a moment she seemed lost for words to express her heartfelt appreciation. But she soon regained herself and thanked the boys and girls. She said, "While I can't be a Joan of Arc and lead the great French army on to victory nor could I adorn the khaki and go forth on the battlefield and 'help win the World War,' nor could I be the 'angel of mercy' on the battlefield, but I realized that every soldier boy was somebody's son and that when they were returned home mained, health impaired and waiting to be discharged, they needed some one to love them, some one to care for them, some one to counsel them; so it fell to my happy lot to serve them."

The tenth annual summer school at Tuskegee Institute comes to a close this week with regular commencement exercises on Friday night in the institute chapel, when thirty-one teachers will be awarded certificates. Six hundred and twenty-seven teachers were enrolled this year, representing fifteen States. *** Clarence Cameron White, celebrated violinist, from Boston, gave a recital Tuesday night in the institute chapel. He was accompanied by Miss Alice C. Simmons, director of instrumental music at Tuskegee Institute. Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater Board, spoke to the summer school teachers at their regular morning meeting on Tuesday. **** Dr. W. H. Casselle, president of Liberia College, Liberia, who is making an extensive tour of this country, inspecting various educational institutions, spent several days here this week. He spoke in the institute chapel at public exercises on Wednesday evening. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, former secretary of Tuskegee Institute and now secretary-treasurer of Howard University, is at the institute this week enjoying a few days' rest with the members of his family and his many friends here. Principal Robert R. Moton will deliver an address on August 1 in connection with the Association of Teachers in Negro Schools, which is to be held at Orangeburg, S. C. The late Miss Harriet Blanchard, of Philadelphia, who during her lifetime was such a good friend of Dr. Frissell and Dr. Washington, left nearly half a million dollars to Negro education. Tuskegee Institute received $100,000. NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE INCREASES ITS STAFF Jessie O. Thomas, has been appointed on the staff of the National Urban League following the action of the league's executive board in empowering the executive secretary, Eugene Kinckle Jones, to employ a Southern field organizer. He resigns as supervisor of negro economics for the State of New York to accept this position with the league and brings, to the league, ripe experience for the work, having been for six years field secretary for Tuskegee Institute, working in intimate cooperation with the late Booker T. Washington. Prior to his appointment as government State supervisor of negro economics for New York he was the principal of Voorhees Institute, of Denmark. S. C. Commenting upon his new position, Mr. Thomas said: "I have accepted the work with the National Urban League for two principal reasons: First, I am convinced that all of the Negroes of the South are not 'coming North and that the Negro problem is still to be solved largely below the Maçon and Dixon line. Second, I know of no organization having for its aim the social and economic betterment of the colored people that is more practical and more sane in its program than the Urban League. "The problems of labor arising from the war, from immigration and the consequent impending labor shortage, and from the returned soldier, made it imperative that Southern cities which are so largely affected have all the help on these and other community problems which heretofore has been given by the league, mostly in the Northern cities." It is thought that Mr. Thomas' experience and the Urban League equipment form a happy combination well fitted to help in the solution of these problems and to give impetus to Negro industrial, civic and social development in answer to many requests from the South for aid. The national headquarters of the league in New York City are at 127 East Twenty-third street. The Southern headquarters will be located probably either in Nashville or Atlanta. John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today issued a statement charging that crimes charged to Negroes were frequently committed by white men who had blacked their faces. "A recent case," said Mr. Shillady's statement, "is that of Luther Wilson, a white man of Lacoochee, Fla., charged with attempted criminal assault upon a white relative by marriage while she was on her way, to school. Wilson, who had blacked his face, was recognized by the girl. He escaped after having been arrested, and shot Deputy Sheriff B. C, Wilcox, of Sorrent. "This is only one of a number of such csas reported to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." THE CATHOLICS. The Catholic Educational Association Takes Steps to Further the Interests of Negro Education. Several sessions of the Catholic Educational Association, were devoted to the promotion of the interests of the colored race spiritually and temporally. Papers were read, and the frank, open discussions which followed indicated the sincere desire and determination of priests, brothers, sisters and laymen to work more vigorously for the betterment of the Negro. There was perfected at this meeting the organization of a new section, to be devoted exclusively to the interests of the Negro and the promotion of Negro education. The Right Reverend Bishop D. J. O'Connell, of Richmond, Va., president of the National Catholic Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Colored People, was the moving spirit in this section; the Very Reverend Dr. Pace, professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of America, is chairman; and Rev. Charles Hannigan, Richmond, Va., secretary. The noteworthy success in getting the colored work squarely before the Catholic world is due to the untiring efforts of Father Hannigan. All of the officers have taken hold of their duties with an enthusiasm that means great progress for the Catholic colored people in the future. Papers were read as follows: "Education of the Negro," Rev. Charles Hannigan, Richmond, Va.; "Catholic Education, the Main Factor of Success in Catholic Missionary Labors in Befahf of Colored People," by Brother Bernadine, St. Louis, Mo.; "Description of the Work of St. Emma Industrial and Agricultural College," by Brother Francis, Roek Castle, Va.; "A Plea for Justice," by Dr. W. P. Dickerson, Newport News, Va.; "Actual Condition of Education Among Catholic Colored Laymen," by Prof. Thomas W. Turner, Howard University, D. C.; "Best Means of Promoting Catholic Education Among Colored People," by Rev. Frederick Grahn, S. V. D., Techny, Ill. The standing committee on survey appointed, consisted of Thomas W. Turner, chairman, Dr. W. P. Dickerson and A. O. Raymond, of St. Louis, Mo. MT. AIRY CHURCH NEWS. Coming out of a great revival and a most successful rally, the members of Mt. Airy Baptist Church feel that the heavy burden that has been carried by the church for sixteen years has been lifted. The rally realized $1,220. In this rally Sunday, $1,000 only was needed to pay off the indebtedness of the church, which amount will liquidate the church debt. The members of the church feel grateful to friends who helped them in such a worthy cause. Speaking of the great revival, Rev. F. R. Mason, of Salisbury, N. C., is truly an effective preacher. A strong paper was read from the deacons' board telling of the great work of this gospel preacher and expressing their appreciation for the services he rendered the church. The closing sermon last Monday was a master one. His text was from Ezekiel 37:3.4. So impressed were the people with his services that they made him a donation of $141.57. He left for Raleigh, N. C., carrying the best wishes of the members and their friends and all who heard him. While in the city he was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. A. J. Tyler. He was invited by Rev. Tyler to return and be with him in November at his great revival. NOTICE TO PATRONS. All matter for publication must be in this office not later than Wednesday evenings.

ON. ast, Lunch, Dinner THE CIVIC ALLIANCE. The Bruce Combination Defeated by Geo. C. Smith—Rev. Bennett the Choice of the Bruce Supporters—Defeated by Dr. J. J. Porter—Dr. Bennett Leaves the Chair in Disgust After His Defeat for the Presidency. The Civic Alliance sprung a surprise at its monthly meeting, on which occasion Geo. C. Smith sprung a surprise and defeated Dr. Bennett, the choice of the Bruce supporters. Long before the assembling of the last meeting of this organization Mr. Smith was laying his wires to put one over on the Bruce supporters, led by Dr. Bennett, of the Calvary Episcopal Church. So certain was Dr. Bennett and his combination of the election of their favorite that they all came to the meeting with a smile. Geo. C. Smith didn't smile. He was the most quiet man in the meeting. Dr. Wiseman, the former president and the man who first organized the alliance, declined to run for re-election, and so announced it at the last meeting; but he did say that he would like Dr. J. J. Posten to be his successor. Dr. Wiseman has been at the head of the alliance for several years, and it was he who cleared the atmosphere of the Lutheran Church. He is one honest and progressive citizen and a conscientious worker. Before the annual election of officers took place, Geo. C. Smith, who has kept an eagle eye on the conduct of public affairs and more especially the schools, started out to put a worthy successor to Dr. Wiseman in the chair. The night of the election some new faces were seen in the assembly hall of the Young Men's Christian Association. Such an assembly was a surprise to the Bennett forces, but they soon found out when Geo. C. Smith put in nomination Dr. J. J. Posten for president of the Civic Alliance, which resulted in the election of the following officers of this well-known body: Dr. J. J. Posten, president of the Central Northwest Citizens' Association, was elected president. Mr. Ranseau, of the Northeast Boundary Association, was elected vice president, succeeding Dr. Bennet. Mr. Ranseau is a young and active man, son-in-law of Rector William Jackson, of Tennessee, a former classmate of Wm. Smith at Oberlin. Capt Robt. P. Rhea, of the Central Northwest Citizens' Association succeeds Dr. Porter as recording secretary. Henry E. Baker, of Howard Park, succeeds Mr. Cohran, of the same association, as corresponding secretary. Rev. Withrow, of Ivy City, succeeds himself as treasurer. Dr. Poston, in announcing some of his committees, renames Geo. C. Smith as chairman of committee on public schools, the same position he holds in the Central Northwest Citizens' Association. Mr. Smith will name his assistants and intends to take in all the schools in the District and make it the most powerful body therein. Mr. Geo. T. Reason, of the Georgetown Association, was named as chairman of the committee on public improvements. Mr. Geo. C. Smith, Mrs. Sallie J. Harris and Rev. Williams were named as a committee to draft suitable resolutions expressing the appreciation of the valuable services the president lias so long rendered the District in so many ways as the head of the association. MASONIC NEWS. The regular monthly meeting, held every third Sunday by the United Masonic and Eastern Star Officers and to which all members of the craft are invited, was well attended. This being, ladies, day, the Grand Royal Matron, Hon. Lady Mary Taylor, presided. Devotional services were led by Past Grand Master W. H. Jackson, and the minutes of preproved. The collection of money on previous meetings were read and apstock and, from other sources was next in order; many out-of-town friends subscribed to the $2 fund. After all business had been transacted, Past Master Jackson presented the first speaker, Past Grand Matron Hon. Lady Lucy A. Stewart, who, as he said, needed no introduction; she gave a very interesting as well as instructive talk on unity, which was enjoyed by all. The second speaker was introduced by Past Master G. Ambler. He took great pleasure in presenting Hon. Lady Amanda Forrest, of Ruth Chapter, who favored her audience with a beautiful recitation and received hearty applause. Past Master Towles responded to the ladies. After announcements, the meeting was closed with the benediction by Rev. J. N. Beaman. The return of William Monroe Trotter from the World Peace Conference, where he went as a delegate of the National Equal Rights League to petition the Peace Conference in regard to the Negroes of America sharing in the world democracy as outlined by the conference, marks another dramatic epoch in the career of htis Negro agitator. It was in 1913 that this same Trotter journeyed to the White House and daringly censured President Wilson because of the injustices perpetrated against the Negro officeholders by the Democratic administration. But Trotter's trip to the Peace Conference was even more daring and epoch-making. For, having been flatly refused a passport to France by the State Department at Washington, he "hung around" for weeks somewhere "on the Atlantic coast" until he eventually found a "hole" through which he slipped to the Peace Conference in France, carrying with him documents and other matter pertaining to the welfare of his race to present before the Peace Conference. How, in virtue of the opposition of the State Department, Trotter was able to find this "hole" through which he slipped, and who formed his "interference," is a question that only Trotter himself can answer. But he reached the Peace Conference and also sought an interview with President Wilson, who, recognizing him to be the same Trotter who appeared in a delegation of Negroes in 1913 at the White House, refused him an interview. But, whatever might be said about this Negro agitator, one fact can not be denied: He is the most eventful, determined and daring man the Negor race has ever produced. Trotter is a radical, but not an extremist; he agitates only for equal civil and political rights for his race. And no one can justly condemn him for that, for in this maelstrom of world democracy the Negro, too, must be included if there is to be a world-democracy worthy of the name. The part played by the Negro in the World War, and in every war in which this country has been engaged, certainly entitles him to equal rights and opportunities to those of other American citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Oldham have been here three weeks visiting their mother, Mrs. Virginia Bradley. The couple are spending this week with Mr. and Mrs. Wilber Strother, after which they will return to New York. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. H. Williams had as their guests Sunday his mother, Mrs. Henry Williams, of Baileys Cross Roads; his sister, Mrs. Annie McClane, and his nephew, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shaw and sons, of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Wm. Jackson, of Lincolnia; Mr. Hughes, fo Mt. Chair, N. J.; and the son of Mr. Williams, Chas. S. Williams, who has just returned from France, having spent twenty months in the service. Although he has been gassed and wounded, Mr. Williams is looking fine.
