TYLER GIVES ANSWER WAR CORRESPONDENT ANSWERS HARPER'S WEEKLY VOL. XL. NO. 25 TYL WAR CORRESPOND HARPER'S THE COLORED SOLDIERS. War Correspondent Tyler to Their Defense—His Letter to Harvey's Weekly—The Astute Journalist Doesn't Back Water. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 9.—Ralph W. Tyler, former war correspondent, has sent the following letter to the editor of Harvey's Weekly in reply to that publication's vicious attack on the colored soldiers: Editor Harvey's Weekly, New York, N. Y. Sir:—In the November 1st number of your pamphlet, which you dignify with the name of Harvey's Weekly, under the caption "The Colored Soldier," you print one of the most brutal and unsupported by facts editorial attacks ever made on the colored soldier. I am in doubt as to whether you wrote the editorial or whether Col. Allen J. Greer, late chief of staff for the 92nd (Colored) Division wrote it. If you did write it, then Colonel Greer, directly or indirectly, must have furnished the alleged information, for on applying "the deadly parallel" I find that throughout your editorial you use, verbatim et literatim, the contents of that letter Col. Greer, in flagrant violation of army rules and the then existing censorship, wrote Senator McKeller, under date of December 6, 1918. But Col. Greer, lacking in consistency, which is even an admirable trait in a soldier as well as in an editor, had previously issued numerous general orders and memorandum extolling in the highest terms the colored soldiers of the 92nd Division for efficiency, deportment and bravery; he had issued orders to confer the D. S. C. on scores of colored officers and men for "exceptional" bravery in the face of the enemy, signing these orders and memorandum with his full name, and affixing his military title thereto to attest to their genuineness. Colonel Greer's letter to Senator McKeller, under date of December 6, 1918, and to which you, or his, editorial suggests the deadly parallel, was written to discourage the use of colored men in the army, either as officers or men in the ranks, and it would appear from your editorial referred to that between you and Col. Greer there exists a gentleman's agreement to assassinate the colored soldier and the colored race—even those who fell on Flander's Field to secure something they had never enjoyed—democracy. I can understand the prompting for Colonel Greer's antagonism to the colored soldier, if a report that was generally circulated throughout the 92nd Division is correct, alleging that a colored officer thrashed him—his superior—for directing abusive, profane words to him: the colored officer, when they both met at the home of a certain French woman, and for which thrashing the colored officer was punished with permission to resign: it also being alleged that Col. Greer, chief of staff, was campflaged in a lieutenant's uniform. I repeat, if this report is correct, I can understand the prompting for Colonel Greer's antagonism for the colored race, even if I cannot understand his inconsistency in first extolling the colored soldiers of his division in numerous general orders, and then assailing them after the armistice had been signed; but I am at a loss to understand your antagonism, unless you have been hypnotized by Colonel Greer, who evidently either wrote your editorial or supplied the misinformation. I was with the 92nd Division for six weeks as war correspondent, and I know every statement you and Col. Greer make is brutally false, a damnable injustice to the hundreds of colored soldiers whose blood dyed and whose bones now fertilize the soil of France to help "make the world safe for democracy." The records in the War Depart- The Washington Bee ment—even copies of Col. Greer's orders of commendation—brand your editorial and his letter of December 6th as false. The general orders of General Sherburne, commanding the 167th Artillery (the artillery of the 92nd Division) brand your editorial as false. The testimony of General Barnum, commanding the 183rd Brigade, 92nd Division, gives the lie to your editorial; the cabled information to the War Department from General Pershing last August brands it as false, and the last general order issued by General Ballou, commanding the 92nd Division, brands it as false. The fact that of the only three American regiments whose colors were decorated with the Croix de Guerre were colored regiments—the 369th, 370th and 371st—brands your editorial and Col. Greer's supporting letter as false Unfortunately for you, only a few days after your pamphlet, stvled "Harvey's Weekly," was issued, the War Department gave out a report of an investigation board exonerating the 368th Regiment, of the 92nd Division, of alleged cowardice, which you, with your Greer-vouchsafed information, assumed to be an established fact. The 93rd Division (colored). the first to sail for France, fought splendidly, endured heroically, and those who fell to rise no more died stoically, indifferent to fate, since they felt they were dying for their country. The 92nd Division's brilliant, valorous stand in that inferno, Bois Frehaut, the woods which neither the French nor fighting Senegalese could hold, but which the 92nd did hold after taking, is sufficient to give it a place in history as a fighting unit, and to make it live long in memory after "Harvey's Weekly" and its silent editor, Colonel Greer, have been forgotten. The public will prefer to accept the testimony of war correspondents who were at the front, and of commanding officers who, unlike Colonel Greer, have no particular reason to defame brave black soldiers—those living and maimed, and those dead, than to accept the testimony of the editor of "Harvey's Weekly," who was more than three thousand miles from the scene of the conflict, or of Col. Greer. If I should permit your false and brutal charge to go, unchallenged, the spirit forms of the black soldiers who bravely, heroically fell in the Argonne, at Champagne, in No Man's Land, in Bois Fre Haut, and on other bloody fields, on which they bravely fought, and heroically fell to rise no more, would rise up from their graves and, pointing their skeleton fingers of scorn at me, call me traitor—jus. what they and the living are calling you today because of that brutal editorial. An editor ought to be advised before he lies on the brave. Respectfully, Ralph W. Tyler. FAIRFAX N. A. A. C. P.

He was assisted by Miss Amy Dorsey, soprano, of Scranton, Pa. There were present a very appreciative audience of music lovers. The program opened with Beethoven's sonata No. 3, op. 31. This number was rendered with surprising finish and artistic skill. The intricate capability of the pianist were revealed in the rhapsody, No. 12, by Liszt, which was played with remarkable brilliancy. The group by Chopin revealed the terpretation of the painter's art in artist's power of expression and intonal colors. At the end of the program Mr. Brachocki responded with Liebestraum, by Liszt, which will long be remembered by those who heard his interpretation. Miss Dorsey has an unusually good voice, which she uses with taste, and will go far with more training. The accompaniments were artistically rendered by Prof. Tibbs. Mr. R. D. Carlton Dorsey should be highly commended by the Washington public for bringing such talent to the community. Mr. Brachocki will be heard in February with a contralto from the New York Opera Company in a joint recital. Reservations for the same are on sale at 902 T street northwest, R. D. Carlton Dorsey.

There has been circulated in this city a pamphlet making a libelous and malicious attack on Rev. Alex. Willbanks. This pamphlet is issued by a number of Baptist ministers who bolted from the regular Baptist Ministerial Conference. The pamphlet is a recital of the trial of Watts V. Willbanks; but it says nothing of the vindication of the latter by two-thirds of the members of the Baptist Conference, in which these bolters participated and were defeated. The law doesn't give any man or set of men the privilege of maliciously attacking a man's character and reputation, no matter how guilty he is, unless it is for the public good. As a matter of fact, these Baptist Brethren were defeated in a conference of ministers and then subsequently bolted the conference and set up a side show of their own and designated themselves clean moralists, who are too good to associate with such men as Rev. Norman, Rev. Howard, Rev. Lamkins and others. A comparison of records would make the devil blush and his imps laugh in disgust. Rev. Willbanks is no coward, and he will take such steps that in his opinion the circumstances will warrant. His hat is in the ring, and the moralists will have an opportunity to compare their records.

He was elected president by the largest majority ever given any candidate. The Bee extends its congratulations, as he is the noblest Roman of them all. Every day at 12 o'clock or some time during the day each day 10,000 people have taken the prayer pledge and have become links in the prayer chain that was started by Dr. Alex. Wilbanks over two weeks ago, the man with a burning soul, the man with a great premonition and a vision, a pastor and national evangelist, who feels that God has put it in him to sound the tocosin and to awake 12,000,000 of downtrodden people to a sense of their duty; not to sit idly by and to allow race hatred and prejudice of every description to swallow them up along with every vestige of the rights of citizenship guaranteed to them under the Constitution of the United States. We are not asked to take up arms against our country, but to pray in one solid phalanx to God for the betterment of our condition in the United States. This prayer propaganda is spreading daily. Each link in the chain is a missionary to secure new links. Dr. Wilbanks has just returned from Newark, N. J., attending the board meeting of the Northern University, of which he is a member, and he spent several evenings in New York City, speaking in the interest of the prayer movement. All who heard him of all denominations took the pledge. He wound up the week's work with a great meeting in Baltimore, Md., Saturday night, being the third Saturday night that these meetings have been conducted by him, and many joined the church. Great crowds came forward for prayer. A great many ministers were present, with local evangelists, to greet Dr. Wilbanks and his most amiable wife. This meeting was held at the Morning Star Baptist Church, Dr. Winn, pastor. The evangelist filled his pulpit all day Sunday. Great crowds were at the communion services at 8 p. m., when the church was crowded to its utmost capacity. Hundreds were on the outside who could not gain admission.

Just a few weeks ago a colored representative, believed to be representing the Walker firm direct, canvassed the city, but now a Mr. Ward, of the Kiefer-Stewart Company, wholesale drugists, is calling in that interest. Rumors were wild recently that a white concern had bought the Walker firm out, but at present this cannot be stated as a fact. It is known, however, that the People's Drug Stores of this city have been for some time looked upon by the Walker firm as the local distributors, and our drugists have been referred to this chain of cut-rate drug stores for the Walker goods. This fact is born out from a letter received by one of our prosperous druggists, who offered, some time in 1918, to buy from one to two hundred dollars worth of the goods and was told from Indianapolis, the home of the Walker firm, by a Mr. Ransom, of the firm, that he was sorry but could not furnish our drugists with the goods, and referred to People's Drug Stores here as the place from which the goods could be secured. It must be remembered that the Walker goods is chiefly sold to the women of our race, and it is, indeed, strange why the distribution of it should be given out of the hands of our own race. The District of Columbia has the reputation of having more drug stores owned and operated by members of our race than any of the several States, besides the number of colored druggists we have in the entire United States. We publish the letter referred to above: "F. B. Ransom. "Washington, D. C. "Gentlemen: Replying to your favor of the 27th alt. in which you stated that, you desired to buy Mine, C. J. Walker's preparations for the Druggists' Association of your city and that you will order from one to two hundred dollars worth at a time, provided that we would allow you certain discount, will say that the People Drug Stores, of your city has been handling our preparations for some time, and I do not know High Shoe Prices BETTER KNOWN BY SOME AS THE LESTER SHOE CO. $ ^{m} $ that we could make any special arrangement with you in regards to same other than to supply you as an individual, if you so desire. In this connection I might add that, representing the Mme. C. J. Walker. Manufacturing Company, I went before the pharmacists at Philadelphia during their national convention last year, stating, among other things; that any number of white druggists desired to handle our preparations, but Mme. Walker, being a race woman, wanted to grant exclusive privileges to the colored drug stores. My proposition was not even considered by the association at that time. No greater mistake could have been made. "I am sorry, but I do not feel that we are in a position to, allow you to handle our goods in the way you request. Dr. E. F. Harris, secretary of the Druggists' Association, states that in connection with the above, the local druggists' organization was not affiliated with the National Medical Association, which is referred to in Mr. Ransom's letter, at the time the convention was held at Philadelphia in 1917, and that it did not so affiliate until at Newark, N. J., during the past summer. He further says that he made inquiries at the Newark sessions as to this letter, and none of the druggists then present recalled ever seeing or hearing of Mr. Ransom's above remarks at Philadelphia. Our druggists are buying goods from any number of manufacturers in all parts of the country every week and are rated as cash buyers. In the quantities they are now actually buying, they, like any other business concerns, are entitled to discounts. Certainly they did not ask more of the Walker firm in 1918 than could be expected to be granted Further, it is stated that none of the local druggists have been requested to act as District distributor for the Walker goods. NEWS NOTES. Dr. George F. Haynes, director of Negro Economics, Department of Labor, has purchased a beautiful home at 1761 T street northwest, and has installed his interesting family in the new property. It will be pleasing news that Dr. and Mrs. Haynes are to become permanent additions to the social and intellectual life of the Nation's Capital. Mrs. Lucy A. Blagburn the noted soprano, was called to Lobanon, Ohio, a few days ago by the death of her cousin, Mrs. Laura Maynard Hopson, a resident of that city and a prominent factor in its educational and religious affairs. Mrs. Blagburn remains at the Lebanon home for a fortnight to arrange for the future of the two bereaved children of the late Mrs. Hopson-Gerald, aged 14, and Alberta, aged 6-after which she will return to this city to spend the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Turner R. Speller, of 723 Twelfth street northeast. The Roosevelt Memorial meeting, recently held at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, with later collections, has netted upwards of $1,000 for the monument in honor of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt. The general committee in charge of the affair was headed by Judge Robert H. Terrell. The principal addresses of the occasion were delivered by Dr. Emmett J. Scott and the Hon. John C. Dancy. The prettiest of the mid-autumnal weddings was that of Miss Louise Cook and Mr. Joshua F. Brown, a substantial young business man. The happy event took place late in October at St. Augustine's Catholic Church, with Father O'Connor officiating. The bridesmaid was Miss Marjorie Cole, and Mrs. Virginia Smallwood and Mrs. Norman William were matrons of honor. Mr. Hillary Brown was best man, and the bride was given away by her brother, Mr. Joseph Smallwood. The bride's costume was beaded georgette, white tulle, veil with orange blossoms, and she carried a beautiful prayerbook. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are at home to their friends at 1839 Fifth street northwest. Attorney Armond W. Scott, for three terms Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order of Elks of the World, was the guest of honor last Saturday evening in New York City at a banquet given by the Past Exalted Rulers' Council, made up of all the Past Exalted Rulers of the Antlered Herd of New York City, Brooklyn and environs. Mr. Scott has lost none of his absorbing interest in the order since his retirement, and his speech, delivered with all of his oldtime fervor, sounded a new and stronger note of progress and prosperity, and more than measured up to his reputation as the foremost orator of the fraternal world. His address warmed the cockles of the hearts of his host of admirers in the "Big City" and his declaration that he stood ever ready to serve the best interests of the order, despite the growing demands of his practice and many personal obligations, won for him an ovation. Some of those prominent in promoting the banquet in honor of Past Grand Exalted Ruler Scott were J. Frank Wheaton, H. Adolph Howell, David McDaniel, Samuel Mitchell and others. Frank H. Hallion, publicity director of the Colored Men's Business League, of Richmond, Va., editor of "Method," the organ of the local league, as well as a member of the editorial staff of The Planet, spent a portion of the week here on busi- ness.

GLEANINGS: Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Harper and daughter, of Washington, sister of Mrs. Cora Strother and Mrs. Sarah Jackson, of Lincolnia, were the recent guests of Mrs. Strother. The Public Library had its initial opening at the schoolhouse on last Wednesday night. It is to be hoped that these meetings will be well attended by the older folks, as they have been planned to be both helpful and instructive. The school is greatly indebted to the officials of the Baptist Church for the loan of the large lights, which are such an improvement of the lighting conditions of the school. We also extend many thanks to Mr. Sam Murray, who saw to the insulting of the The Teachers' Association and the Fairfax County Fair Association held a joint meeting at Vienna Friday, November 14. The report from the fair association was very encouraging in that from all indications we would soon own our fair grounds. To Mr. Shirley, who for six years has worked faithfully as president of the association, the sum of $50 was given, and to Mr. Wm. West, the secretary, the sum of $60. The resignation of Mr. Shirley was not accepted and would not even be thought of until 1921, when at that time it was thought he would be of age and they could not very well hold him. At the end of the session the patrons served a sumptuous dinner in Odd Fellows' Hall. The Girls' Culture Club will hold its first meeting at the schoolhouse Wednesday afternoon, November 26, at 1 o'clock. Mrs. Susie Campbell, president of the Mothers' Council, will be present and make a short address, after which the book to be read for the year, "Confidential Chats with Girls," by Wm. Howard Lee, will be started by the teachers. Cocoa and cake will be served by the girls, and all parents are cordially invited to attend. Mrs. Ruth Johnson has returned to her home after having spent four months in Atlantic City. She has as her guest for a Yew days Miss Adeline Dean. Mrs. Eva Williams spent Friday and Saturday at the bedside of her little grandson, Howard Styles, who was recently poisoned with liquid lye. Mrs. Myrtha Lee has returned to her home from Luray, Va. The clothesline social held at the schoolhouse Friday night was a success financially, having cleared $17. A program had been arranged for, but owing to the failure of one of the members of the quartet that was to sing, fell through at the last minute. It was the aim of the teachers not to take any of the pupils' time from their lessons to prepare for the socials, but to depend on outside talent. The pupils are, to give two concerts only during the year, one at Christmas and the other at Easter. The teachers thank the kind friends who helped them in their first social attempt. There were those who had no children in the school and those who did not come but who gave willingly to help the cause. It is to be hoped that at the next social the would-be, men will act as men and leave child's play to the children and allow everyone the privilege of enjoying himself or herself in a fitting ...anner. The date selected for the first concert by the pupils of the school is December 22 at the Methodist Church. These will be in the form of Christmas exercises, with a real Santa Claus and a beautiful Christmas tree. Don't forget the date and the cause. MISS JANIFER ENTERTAINED. Miss Maggie E. Janifer, of 1167 Sixth street northeast, a former teacher of the Enoch Ambush School, who was recently promoted to the fifth grade, F. J. Cardozo School, was entertained last Friday evening at her residence by her former associate teachers of the Ambush school. A very touching and impressive paper was read by Miss Ella V. Campbell, in which she told of many pleasant reminiscences of school days. Miss Eva A. Thompson recited a humorous selection, entitled "The Mourning Veil." Misses Eleanor Rivers, Frances Young and Edna Murray rendered several choice piano selections, after which the guests repaired to the dining room, where they were sumptuously served.

He never ran without a gain. Dandridge intercepted one of Baltimore's passes and ran 30 yards for a touchdown.

Besides, no investi- tion of the recent. race riots which Fnave occurted throughout the coun-. try has shown’ where Negroes began’ the same. Again,.from the release of the National Association, for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, in the last .ten..months, 62 Negroes -have been lynched, 11 burned, 22 shot and. | {9 hanged: Is there-anyone so naive, | ‘credulous and stupid as to believe | that Negroes require Bolshevism or I, W. W'ism to-make them-a fight- | ing force against these criminal out- : rages? Obviously the government has. been spending the people's monéy to’ in- vestigate alleged sedition of Negro publications, but despite the nameless, indescribable and palpable injustice to which Negroes are subjected, such as lynching, disfranchisement, jim-- crowism, the loss of liberty and home, nothing is doneb y the government~ to bring those who-are responsible for such Hunnish evils to ,account-! ability. “It has not even attempted to! investigate the causes of the same. | Mr. Lawrence further: states that; ‘there can, no longer be any question : ofa well-concerted movement among! a certain class’ of Negro ‘leaders of thought and action to constitute theinselves a’ determined and persist" ent. source of radical opposition to! the government, and to establish law! and-order.” ‘This is both false and)! vicious. It is false in that it is not, true, and vicious in that it is mislead- ing. Of course, every respectable and’ intelligent’ Negro’ is opposed to the government's policy of “silence and | inaction”, on mob law, disfranchise- ment and \jim-crowigm “in; this coun-! try. Instead Of being opposed to law and order, however, Negro publica-! tions are attempting.‘to’ get the ews! state and federal government. to rec- ognize the necessity of maintaining law and order. “We want a law; and order that will prevent the race riots of Washington, Chicago, Omaha and |) Arkansas, a colossal’ shame and dis- grace to ‘civilization, ‘from, ever re-| curring ii’this land: We want’a law and ‘order that will protect the Ne-|' groes’ life’‘and: property., We want 2 law and order ‘that will guarantee | the Negro the right to vote. We]! want a law and order which will not |) countenance the despicable jim-crow | ar that humiliates”, law-abiding, neaceful’ Negroes...

PT OC LER eee, ee Iee ‘men of educational prominence have been marked and: branded and or- dered to leave their families and homes ‘by: ‘the Southern’ Ku Klux Klan, Neither the-city, State nor fed- eral government has attempted ‘to protect’ them. Would Mr. David Lawrence indorse this brand of law and order? . It is evident from. the newspaper propaganda which is now being cay ried on in:the Northern press that the South is trying desperately to poison public opinion against the Negro with its. insidious spleen of. race hatred, lies and misrepresertations. .The South ‘wants to. crush the Negro press, both: radical and conservative. It would destroy every. Negro educa- tional institution. It would — re- enslave the Negro if possible.. Hence it is preparing the stage for its drama of terrorism and intimidation to break the “new spirit” of the: Negro. Southern Congressinen have™already introduced.a bill to-achieve this ne- farious purpose, I is not strange or uncommon, however,’ for the feudal- istic and Bourbon South to throw up its hands in holly horror at. the mam- festation of this “new Spirit” of the- Negro against mob law: The machi- nations of the South are so.dark and I reprehensible that it fears the white ‘light of publicity. Hence, it would drive -out every Negro publication | that exposes its red and bloody ‘hand. lof lynch law atid murder. “It-is also attempting. to hitch up the “cause” of ‘the Negro with every group: in this ‘country against whom a certain wn- favorable: public’ sentiment has’ been created, with’ a view. to securing unanimous opposition to the fight of’ the Negro for freedoniand justice. It has raised the cry of a ‘Negro’ up: rising” as a’ pretext and excuse for the reign of ‘terror which it has ii- augurated ‘against the Negro. Its ‘sinister motives, however, are trams- parent. They will- escape’ no one: This cry’ is designed to inflame the public's tind against “the- Negroes?” demand for political, economic and social justice. . - We would advise Mr. David Law-. rence to employ his pen in condemn- ing the injustices that give rise to the unrest among Negroes against which he complains. Agitators do not cre- ate unrest, but unrest creates agita- tors.. And unrest is the effect of op- Pression, injustice ; and | wrong. Hence. it is well that all should under- stand .that there is no power that can break the spirit of the “new Negro.” He is determined that he will no longer be crucified upon.a cross. of lynch-law and the bitter ‘recrinmna- uons from the pen of Southern agents provacateur will only serve to unify, cenient and solidify him in his fight against the’ forces ‘of Southern reac- tion. s . ‘A.

Theo. Parker has recently added this table to his office. It is something entirely new and wonderful in construction. Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints, and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body, and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to every organ, tissue and muscle, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine. Crooked or stiff spine cause various kinds of diseases, weakness, and premature old age. Osteopathic treatment cures these troubles by correcting the spine. Women who are suffering from female troubles will do well to consult Dr. Parker, as he makes a specialty of those cases. DR. T. THEO.
