Memorial Sunday night Charles Sumner Post, Nelson Booker, commander; Charles Sumner Woman's Relief Corps, Mrs. J. W. Hamilton, president, and O. P. Morton Corps, Mrs. Julia B. Saunders, president, held memorial services in Enon Baptist Church. Quite a number went out, and the pastor paid a most fitting tribute to the heroic dead. The history of the Corps and the object of the W. R. C. and the excellent work done by the women of this historic body were most graphically given by Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, who is the senior past officer of the Department and also the senior past president of the oldest corps—O. P. Morton: She was termed a "veteran" not only in W. R. C. work, but in jail, court, workhouse, hospital, alley and general uplift work. She made a plea for a greater reverence for the heroes of 1861 and 1865, for the Spanish-American War boys and for the World's War heroes; also for race amity and for a stronger relation between home and the school. Charles Sumner Post and Corps, assisted by O. P. Morton Corps, held memorial services at Harmony Cemetery at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Julia B. Saunders read Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address." At Arlington Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, Mrs. E. B. Davis, Mr. Hutchins, M. Ball, H. Beason, F, Turner and other members of Morton and Sumner Corps took part: Arlington never looked more beautiful—never a more ideal day. While threatening, not a drop of rain fell. Never as great an assembly as on this day. The President of the United States and Mrs. Harding were received by the Marine Band playing "Hail to the Chief" and cheer after cheer went up from the thousands of people and the sound echoed and re-echoed across the Potomac. There were, in addition to this ovation and the excellent program rendered, two very notable features at Arlington: The music was rendered by two of the best bands in the country, the U. S. Marine Band and the Community Band, Prof. James E. Miller, leader... This is the first time on Memorial Day that a colored band has been employed to play. Prof. Miller and his excellent men did honor to the profession, to the occasion and to the race. When Colonel McElroy gave the order for "presentation of the colors" just behind the two old veterans bearing the colors came our own Captain West Hamilton and Captain P. Mann, representing the Army and the Navy; also James E. Walker and James Reese Europe Posts, and the members of these two Posts of the American Legion, followed by the other American Legions of the District of Columbia. Mr. F. D. Lee, president National Memorial Association, motored over to Arlington in his handsome new car with Lieutenant Cooper at the wheel. No car with the tag of the G. A. R. attached thereto made a finer appearance as they wheeled into historic Arlington and parked near the great ampitheatre. He was accompanied by his wife and Mrs. J. M. Layton, veteran W. R. C. Auxiliary to the G. A. R. and secretary of the National Memorial Association. VOL. XLII NO. 1 Sunday night Charles Sumner, Charles Sumner Woman's Relief Dent, and O. P.

Layta the G. A. R. and secretary of the REV. E. THOMAS BROADUS. Celebrates His Ninth Anniversary as Pastor of Zion Baptist Church. Deanwood, D. C.—Rev. Broadus was called to take charge of this little flock of four faithful members in 1912. They had at that time lost faith, but clung to hope. Since then his pastorate has steadily grown, until now, with a membership of over two hundred, an active membership of about one hundred and fifty or more; an excellent order of service, led by a well-trained choir; all debts paid, and we are paying the organist more than we could pay the pastor nine years ago; an excellent Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. and several well-organized clubs. Rev. G. W. Brent preached the opening sermon to the Sunday School, which was very instructive and helpful. His choir and congregation accompanied him Monday, May 23rd. On Tuesday, May 24th, the anniversary sermon to the pastor was delivered by the Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. He used for a text, "He had an excellent spirit in him." (Daniel 6:3.) No one who wanted to believe the truth could help from being impressed with his analysis and applications, with reference to the fourteen years he has been acquainted with the pastor of this church. Not only did he portray the usefulness of the pas- The Washington Bee tor to his church and community, but to the association, of which Rev. Broadus is the third vice-president and trustee, and also the architect and the superintendent and builder of the Mt. Bethel Old Folks' Home. He depicted the splendid church edifice and furnishings as an apt illustration of that excellent spirit. On Wednesday evening, May 25th, Rev. Mr. D. Willis of the Fulton Baptist Church, Baltimore, gave a soulstirring sermon to the deacons. He outlined the work of a faithful deacon, who must be wise and full of the Holy Ghost to be a success to a church. He left no stone unturned. On Thursday evening the Rev. Otis o the Salem Baptist Church filled the engagement for Rev. R. D. Grymes, who was indisposed, and he gave an excellent sermon, which was enjoyed by all. He spoke to the Federated Clubs, and advised them to work and not complain. It greatly inspired their hearts and they were out in good numbers. On Friday evening, May 27th, the Rev. G. E. Carter of the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, Marlboro, Md., gave another soul-stirring sermon to the B. Y. P. U., at which time they furnished music, to the delight of all present. At 10 p. m. we were invited to the dining room by Deacón Joseph Shears, and if one had a poor appetite it would have been sharpened when he looked upon the table. The following composed the committee on WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1921 reception: Deacon J. H. Shears, P. M. Tolliver, Nelson Green, Sisters Irene Slater, Virginia Dews, Ella Jackson, E. Samuels, Julia Miles, Mattie Watson, Daisy Tolliver, Plassie Rodgers, Mamie Lee, Rosa Carroll, Alberta Carter, Eva Edmonds and Florence O. Lee. Sisters M. Lee and Johnson looked after the floral decorations. The choir rendered fine music, led by the organist, Sister Florence Lee, and Master Levington Smith. Each evening preceding the sermon short addresses were made by Deacons White, J. H. Shears, Tyler Lee, superintendent of the Sunday School, Bro. G. E. Roulhac, and vicepresident of B. Y. P. U., Sister E. Johnson. At the close of this service Sister Louisa Lee, on behalf of the Pastor's Guild, presented the pastor a purse. Sister Lillian Jennings, on behalf of the Willing Workers' Club, presented Sister L. J. Broadus, the pastor's wife, a handsome purse. Deacon White, on behalf of the church, presented the pastor a purse, which brought smiles to his face and gladness to h siheart. All of the faithful members that could attended the services of the week. Friends also attended in large numbers. RECLASSIFICATION. Laundrymen Tell Senate and House Committee of Need in Their. Branch of Service in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. John German, representing the Laundry Workers' Union, No. 110, of the Bureau, appeared before the Sen- and House Committee on Civil Service last Friday and told of the injustice imposed upon the laundrymen. Mr. German described in detail the importance of the work performed, the quality and quantity. He also described every machine, and the chemicals used in the plant. He told how they had to keep records of the work, and made a convincing argument that the work was skilled, and that it was a violation of the law to work unskilled men on such jobs. Senator Stering asked if they were under the retirement act. Mr. German said they were not, although it is acknowledged by the department and the Civil Service Commission that the work is skilled, but they could not allow them to come under the retirement act, because it is against the law. He pointed out that it was strange the government could violate the law in working men who are unskilled on skilled jobs, and yet is so particular about the law when it is to the employee's interest. The unsanitary condition is deplorable. In 1920 there was sickness alone of 120 men, which amounted to more than four years, and he asked that these employees be granted thirty days' sick leave, and that 20 per cent be granted for night work. Mr. German said that the favored a Federal Wage Board in cases where outside concerns were doing the same class and character of work, but in case there are only one position of its kind in the country, as in the case of the laundry at the Bureau, such position should be specialized, and that the joint report on reclassification was satisfactory to him and urged that it be made a law. GREAT TIME AT EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH. Garfield, D. C.—On the fourth Sunday in May the membership held three very interesting services in honor of their thirty-fourth anniversary. The services were concluded at night with baptism. On the fifth Sunday the church held a special financial effort. At 11 a. m., sermon by the pastor. At 3 p. m. a record-breaking crowd was present and representatives from several of the churches and two secret organizations turned out to lend a helping Exercises hand. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. P. Green, D. D., pastor of the Mt. Jezreel Baptist Church. Music was furnished by the choir of the Mt. Jezreel Church. The collection was a great success. The church is now in the act of completing an annex to the main auditorium. The church is in a prosperous condition both spiritually and financially. The church and pastor are being highly congratulated for having labored together in peace and harmony for thirty-four years. Rev. J. A. Taylor, D. D., a graduate of the Howard University, is pastor of the church. He is held in high esteem by his brother ministers and is regarded as being one of the strong men of the denomination. Long may Dr. Taylor live to carry on the great work of His Lord and Master. OPEN LETTER TO REV. MANN In Answer to His Sermon Sunday, April 17, in Boston, Colored Woman Objects to His Glossing Over Outrages of the South. (Special to The Bee.) My attention was called to your sermon through the columns of the press reached to your congregation, April 17th, in which you depicted the future, of the colored American as being bright in the South. As a member of the executive committee of the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, in which colored Americans are banded together for self-protection of rights and privileges, it becomes my duty to inform you that we do not agree with you. Like all white Northerners who visit the South, the best was shown you, that you might return to your home and herald the deceptive side broadcast, thereby giving the South better opportunity to throttle Northern protest that they might get a stronger hold upon their helpless victims, and ply their nefarious barbaric treatment unmolested. Instead of letting the advancement of the students of Tuskegee, Hampton and similar institutions run riot in your brain, why did you not visit the rural-districts and see for yourself the peonage system, the chain gang, the Klu Klux Klan, a lynching bee? You would then realize that the "speech by a prophet and a statesman" had not reverberated in the South among white and black to this day, to let down their buckets where they were and cultivate the friendliest relations with their black neighbors. That is what they do not want, what they will not have, for that is what they term "social equality." Some Queries. If you wanted to report the real condition, of the race to your congregation and the Northern press, why did you not visit the juvenile courts and see and hear for yourself judges sentencing little black babies (for such they are at the ages of three and four) to the chain gang, till they are twenty-one, for firing stones that hit some white person's chickens or scared their cats? Why did you not inquire why white children have a longer school term than black children? Why did you not find out why the small approximate proportion given for black children? Why did you not visit the States of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and all others like them that are carrying on slavery today the same as in the sixties, only in a more quiet way? Why did you not go to Florida and inquire why black veters were shot dead at the polls last November by the Klu Klux Klan because they wanted to use their franchise? Why did you not inquire of Georgia? why they had more lynchings than any other State? Had you done all that and brought home the facts to your congregation, would the Northern press have been so willing to give it publication? I answer no—a thousand times no! Those are the things they want suppressed, and which you and other Northerners are helping them suppress. Why did you not inquire into the many disappearances of ex-service black men of the South who today leave their homes and never return? Are they killed by Williams or his constituents? The South recognizes the fact that they are responsible for all conditions mentioned, but are they, or have they, ever tried to remedy them? Had you done all this, do you think you would have said, "As a Northern man, I came home with a feeling of immense thankfulness and of the highest hope??" If the race's future is so bright and the South realizes its responsibility, why the exodus of the colored Americans North? It has long been an open secret why all this injustice exists, and it was proven conclusively in the United States House of Representatives two weeks ago, when the G. O. P. voted with the South against a bill to prohibit disfranchisement. If the law-makers of the government support wrong by not enforcing the Constitution of the country, what can be expected of the people as a whole? Rather than to permit the colored people to have his rights in the South and his vote (which is never cast) they are willing to have his vote counted as cast and run the risk of the South getting again into the saddle than to allow any bills to pass that will properly reapportion the South and cut their electoral vote. This is all for the reason that their money, interest and affiliation with the South are more important than lynchings, slavery, disfranchisement, and the disgrace those bring to our good old flag.

CHARGING PEONAGE NOW POPULAR IN GEORGIA Public Indignation Aroused—System of Land Cropping By Tenants May Eventually Be Abolished in State—Governor Dorsey Upheld. Athens, Ga., May 31.—Charges of peonage are flying thick and fast in Georgia these days. County prosecutors, Federal officials and even the village lawyers are being swamped with complaints brought against employers, landlords and creditors. As yet only one conviction has been made—that of the Williams family, whose inhuman treatment and murder of colored workers shocked the nation—and few cases have been found which have warranted indictment. This, in spite of peonage reports, whose number is legion. The term "peonage" is being used indiscriminately. The conviction in the Jasper county case and the governor's disclosure of evidence of peonage in twenty-six counties have stirred Georgia through, so much so that every colored man is certain to get investigation of his peonage charges. The Federal Grand Jury, in session at Macon, reports: "This body deplores and denounces any condition of peonage wherever it is found to exist, and, further, deplores the fact that there have been so many unwarranted rumors of conditions of peonage in the State of Georgia." This is the jury which indicted John S. Williams and his three sons. Governor Dorsey Did Good. No plantation owner, afraigned on a peonage charge, could now expect any clemency from a Georgia jury. Public indignation is aroused. The most influential citizens of the State have accepted Governor Dorsey's invitation to serve on the race relations committee which is to carry its investigations into every county of Georgia through an executive committee of seven members and which will appoint local boards to consider the facts disclosed in the governor's book of cases and the remedies he has outlined. COMMUNITY CENTER ELECTION. Last Tuesday night at 7 o'clock the good people began to pour into Garnet-Phelps Center to register, nominate and elect the officers of the Center for the ensuing year, and the Community secretary. From the hour of opening until the polls were closed at 10:30, there was a constant stream of persons coming and going. They came from all ranks of life, evidencing their interest in their Center and Community work. Mr. George W. Beasley, chairman of the election board, assisted by his splendid committee, handled the situation as only veterans in such work can. They were nearly all men who are used to handling the ballots in their home states. There was only one candidate nominated for the several positions. The election resulted as follows: President—Mr. Daniel Freeman. First Vice-President—Mrs. A. E. Hopkins. Second Vice-President—Mr. James Howard. Recording Secretary—Miss E. Johnson. Treasurer—Mr. I. E. Williamson. Chaplain—Elder E. A. Osborne. Community Secretary—Mrs. Julia Mason Layton. This Center is one of the most progressive in the Community Department. The following clubs have held their activities in this Center during the year beginning July 1, 1920, up to date, some having outgrown the Center and had to find larger quarters: Douglass Cooperative League, B. M. C. Club, Junior Red Cross, National morial Association, Woman's Republican League, Broom Making Class, Amphion Glee Club, Parliamentary Usage Club, Senior Red Cross, Pleasure Club, Woman's Exchange, Laborers' Cooperative Association, James E. Walker Post, Junior Savings Club, Community Center Band, Young Folks' Recreational Class and the Walter R. Bowen Circle. They are planning now to hold a bazaar and bundle party in the near future. They are asking everybody to send them a bundle for the poor and needy. The Center is open Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7:30 to 10:30. Come and bring your club. Mrs. Annie H. Mitchell has opened an up-to-date Beauty Shop for the treatment of the hair, face and hands at 1232 You Street. Mrs. Mitchell is a graduate of the famous Wanamaker Beauty College of New York City. Her shop is the best equipped in the city. Ladies wishing scientific treatment at the hair, face and hands will be both pleased and delighted with the services given at this shop. 1232 You Street N.

This club is planning many wonderful things to place before the public. The Clef Club of New York City, founded by the late James R. Europe, and which is eleven years old and has a wonderful membership of 280 musicians and entertainers, has purchased two new homes on West Fifty-third street in that city. The Peerless Glee Club of Baltimore has made a fine record for itself and for the city. The Peerless Glee Club rendered some very fine selections in this city when they were here on May 23rd. Their work will always be remembered by the folks in this city. Little Miss Julia Grant, 8 years old, violinist, was one of the features during the Music Week program which was held at Mott School. The National Training School for Girls and Women, Lincoln Heights, had a wonderful music program along with the graduation exercises. * * * The Music Week, music for everybody and everybody for music, was a week of great success. Mott, Birney and Sumner schools were among those to open the beginning of the week of music. WORDS OF SONGS FOR COMMUNITY SINGING STAR SPANGLED BANNER. Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave-proof through the night that our flag was still there: Oh, say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave? BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is tramping out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored: He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on. Glory! Glory Hallelujahl Glory! Glory Hallelujahl Glory! Glory Hallelujahl His truth is marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call.retreat: He is sitting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat. Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my.feet! Our God is marching on. OLD FOLKS AT HOME. Way down upon the Swanee River, Far, far away, There's where my heart is turning ever, There's where the old folks stay. (Same tune.) All up and down the whole creation, Sadly I roam, Still longing for the old plantation, And for the old folks at home. (Chorus.) All the world am sad and dreary, Everywhere I roam, Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary, Far from the old folks at home. When you come to the end of a perfect day, And you sit alone with your thoughts, While the chimes ring out with a carol gay For the joy that the day has brought: Do you think what the end of a perfect day HAITI SPEAKS "No Graver Indictment of An American Administration Has Ever Been Made . . . The Atrocities . . . Murder of Women and Children, Wholesale Killing of Prisoners, Torture With Red-hot Irons, the Water Cure,' Arson, Robbery . . . Constitute An Everlasting Stain on American Honor." No graver indictment of an American Administration has ever been made than is contained in the temperately, written thirty-thousand-word memoir of the delegates to the United States of the Haitian Patriotic Union outlining the history of the American Occupation in Haiti which was presented to the Department of State and the Senate Foreign Relation Committee last week. Despite its moderation, it more than confirms every charge made in The Nation in the last year. The first official pronouncement from the Haitians themselves—for a rigid military censorship sealed their lips for five years—it establishes that our conquest of Haiti was neither justified under any principle of international law nor sanctioned by any conceivable necessity. It should finally put an end to all the excuses alleged in our defense—such as the protection of American interests, restoration of order, suppression of banditry, bad Haitian finances, etc. The report again makes plain that the local revolutionary disturbances of July 28, 1915, merely furnished a long-sought pretext for intervention, that our interests were in no wise imperiled, that far from there being disorder when the marines landed it was their brutalities which created and then perpetuated the previously non-existent "Cacoism," a banditry not of crime but of revolt against the alien invasion. The state of the Haitian finances is lucidly set forth—they were by no means in a tangle; the external and internal debt of the country had always been fully paid until the American Occupation inaugurated an era of mismanagement (to put it charitably) quite unprecedented under Haitian control. The appended list of atrocities it is difficult for an American to read without shame and horror. It does not purport to be a complete record. On the contrary, it is limited to the comparatively few called, in writing, to the attention of the Naval Court of Inquiry sent to Haiti last fall by Secretary Daniels to offset Senator Harding's campaign attack and published, upon the refusal of the court to consider them, in the newspapers of Port-au-Prince. Murder of women and children, wholesale killing of prisoners, torture with red-hot irons, the "water cure," arson, robbery, violence of every kind—they constitute an everlasting stain on American honor. If this report does not arouse the American people then its conscience is indeed dead. The Nation cannot believe that it is and that all our professions of good faith, decency, fair play, all our great and honorable traditions upheld for nearly a century and a half, can be thus lightly cast on the scrap-heap. Here is a small and inoffensive country, next to our own the oldest republic in this hemisphere, self-governing for 111 years, a republic which achieved one sort of freedom fifty years before our own (for it abolished slavery when it became independent), made the victim of wholly wanton, brutal, militaristic conquest. These are facts that cannot be whitewashed, propagated, or lied away. It matters little what President Harding said at the foot of the statue of Bolivar, or what fine phrases President Wilson uttered. What really counts—the acid test—is what we have done and what we shall do to little Haiti, the one country which, by a curious irony, made a really substantial contribution to the cause of Bolivar and South American freedom while we stood aloof. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. This old commentator in a reminiscent mood some time ago warned the shiaking brotherhood of colored office-seekers, "emeejidly" following the inauguration, that there would not be any sudden and abnormally soon dark complexioned appointments; that the President had other "fish to fry first," and that a nation and a world was concerned about more important things than the rewarding of constitutional office seekers. But in spite of our warning, gratuitously, and helpfully given, a flock of "willing to serve in any old capacity" swarmed down on Washington, pitched their tents, and prepared themselves to force the mild-mannered Warren G. to appoint them, and declared they would remain in Washington until he did. Well they are here yet, and still they have no encouragement that the mills of the gods will grind expeditiously. The oratorical gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Cottrill, who had glued his eyes on the Register of the Treasury, after lassoing every Ohio whom he thought was "next" to the powers that be and finding that the register job, like a mirage, seemed farther away the closer he got to it. He lassoed Eugene P. Booze, the Mound Boyou, Miss, merchant prince last week, and as soon as he landed from a Southern railroad coach at the Union Station, and cajoled the cheerful Booze into calling at the White House in his interest. All last summer, during the heat of the campaign, our Ohio oratorical brother couldn't see where Booze could lend him any influence. But you heard the old story about "a dying man grabs at a straw." We remarked some time ago that "while there is delay there is doubt," should constitute a parallelism to go thundering down the ages as a companion to "while there is life there is hope." Well we repeat it again, "while there is delay there is doubt," and we commend this original coinage of our own to Brother Cottrill. *** And now comes forward an Ohioan who declares, with one hand uplifted, and the other on the Bible, at the passage "The race is neither to the swift nor the strong" but to him endureth forever," or something akin to that. When Brother Cottrill was selected as an alternate delegate-atlarge from Ohio, at the time the colored olemargerines out there were clamoring for a voting delegate, he was advised something after this fashion: "Cottrill, we have selected you because the party has well taken care of you." Meaning to any one, but a fellow with an obtuse brain, that he was not expected to turn up, like a bad penny, after the election, and demand office. For nigh on to forty years, or thereabouts, the party has taken care of Brother Cottrill, but some folks just naturally can't recall, when in a scrimmage, that potential word, "ENOUGH." The arrangement made for picking desirable Georgians for political plums, leaves nothing for our worthy college chum, Henry Lincoln Johnson, to gloat over. As the newspapers say, a flock of potential, influential, and preferential Georgians who themselves are not seekers for office, or any of their relatives and descendants, as far off as fifth cousins by marriage, are to be corralled, and given the right to recommend who shall receive the political plums down in the peonage State. Now such an arrangement automatically lets our esteemd friend Henry Lincoln Johnson out of the works. For Link's sake, we hope the newspaper report is just mere buncomb, but it sounds mightily like it was sort of excathedral. A fresh rumor jump-up from the marshes around the Potomac this week, and went hurling through the city and country, that young Loch-nivar out of the South, Robert R. Church, was the favorite in the betting shed for Register of the Treasury, with Editor Van, of Pittsburgh, the next best bet. If this be true, then it would appear that our old high school alumnus, Charles Artful Cottrill, has slumped somewhat in his batting. We admonish you all to keep your weather eye on that tall Tennessee who, for the past two years, has been batting at a 400 clip in the Tennessee League, and who is haled as a leader super-fine by Roddy, John Hayes, Joe Settjes, and all that bunch of Tennessee hopefuls. All the betting agencies are just now quoting the principals in the Register of the Treasury handicap, as follows: "Church to win, 10 to 5; Van to win, 7 to 10, and Cottrill to win, 2 to 10. If Lafe Hershaw some years ago had shook the dust of Washington from his number eight pedal extremi ties, and hided himself out into one of the middlewestern States, take it from me, he would right this very minute be considered for the biggest job held in pawn for colored Americans. Taking him up and down, across and around, Lafe Hershaw is one of the braniest squeegee prints that ever blew into Washington, and that ever traced his geneology back to both white aristocrats and cotton-picking ebony-hues. I've remarked on several semi occasions that when Georgia sent Lafe Hershaw up to this berg she sent her best brained colored-American, and it was a pity that he didn't instead of tarrying here light out for Chicago, New York, Cleveland, or some other berg where brains count, and color is but a inconsequential second consideration. While the colored politicians and near-politicians are wearing out shoe leather, and O'Sullivan heels, parading up and down Pennsylvania Avenue trying to catch glimpse of Prexy Harding. John Lewis, of the Industrial Savings Bank, and his Fidus Atches, Phil Cuney, are looming up big in the financial and material world. When John and Phil hooked up together they made a spanking team. And that just reminds me that a whole flock of moth-eaten bugs around this town had picked out a padded cell in the poor house for Phil, when he resigned from a little jitney Federal clerkship to take up the practice of law. Well, Phil did what I said he would do—fool them good and plenty. And now while Phil is eating a broiled live lobster, every whistpitch, and washing it down with a bit of rare old Bergundy that he saved from the prohibition wreck, them there moth-eaten bugs who had pictured his finish, coined an inscription for his totombstone, and contributed umpteen cents for the upkeep of his burial place, are roaming around the town bewailing the high cost of living. Old Phil, in the meantime is laughing at the cost of high living. Remember boys, Phil is from Texas, and is a Cuney. "Nuf sed." "Extral Extra!" Have you heard the latest? It is said that Ralph Tyler blew into Washington one day last week on the train, and blew out on the next. Will history repeat itself? Along about eight or ten years ago, Ralph blew into and out of Washington unheralded and unsung, and nobody knew anything about it until a few weeks later. The White House announced his appointment as auditor for the navy. Nobody seems to be able to tell for a certainty whether he came and went or not, and if he came and went, what he came and went for. But it is a safe bet that if he came at all somebody paged him to "come, come darn quick, and keep it confidential." Added to this rumor is one that the Ohio colored journalist supplied the White House with a list of all presidential offices held by colored men at the time the "To Make The World Safe For Democracy" administration came into power. It was with deep regret that I learned of the death of Mr. Christopher J. Perry, Sr., owner and publisher of the Philadelphia Tribune, on Sunday, May 15, at his residence in Philadelphia. *** My friend Sylvester H. McLaurin is still being considered as one of the municipal judges. It looks as if the legal profession of Mississippi will be well represented in the government. *** Clarence M. DeVeile is still leading among the real estate dealers, success he is making. He is to be congratulated upon the CRIPPLED MARVEL WITH C. Lee Cook, Helpless in Limbs, Works 17 Hours Daily to Make Folks Happy. "Muscle is the cheapest thing in the world—I can buy all I want. But I can't buy ability so easily." This, with a laugh, is the comment of a fifty-year-young optimist who has never known the advantages or disadvantages of muscular development—a man who has never walked in his life. C. Lee Cook, nationally famous as the marvel of crippledom, is marked rather by his accomplishments than by his strange disfigurement. Propped up in an especially designed perambulator, the product of his own invention, Cook modestly told a few of the high lights of a career strengthened rather than broken by an odd whim of nature. Cook is here to attend the convention for amity between the colored and white races at the Congregational Church. Racial understanding is one of many things this dynamo for work has found time to study. Does Not Miss Limbs. Most surprising was Cook's statement that he would not be interested in any tricks of science which might bring to him the use of his limbs. "I would be a lost man if I had my muscles," he said. "I am no longer sensitive to the observations of others as they seek to sympathize with me for my physical condition. As a matter of fact, I sympathize with many who pity me." And Cook has a right to do the sympathizing, for there are few people, not handicapped by a single physical fault, who can make their living at fourteen professions, as can Cook. Cook has forgotten his physical condition in continued.pursuit of study. He is a mechanical engineer, an architect, an author, lecturer, artist, contractor, purchasing agent, lawyer and manufacturer. If anyone thinks that in addition he might be an easy mark, he is invited to step up and engage his wits. Works 17 Hours a Day. "People who think I'm terribly out of luck," said Cook, "forget that nature provides compensation. I can't walk, true, but my capacity for mental effort is unusually great. I'm a great little worker, and my hours are regularly seventeen a day. I don't say this as a boast, but merely to show how I have been compensated. If Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia, who thinks not much time should be spent in developing cripples, would engage with me in a test of sustained mental concentration, each of us doing the particular problem we chose, neither eating, sleeping nor resting until the work was completed—I would kill him through exhaustion." Stopping for lunch is only an occasional incident with Cook. He is very careful to keep in good health, and the color of his cheeks today gave evidence of that. Cook has never had a dentist look at his teeth, nor has he ever worn glasses despite his almost continual study, his reading of fine print and his miniature painting under artificial light. But talking of his own good luck is boresome to Cook. He is more interested in problems whose solution will make others happier. He is very keen on his hobby of promoting racial understanding. "How much better it would be if white folks would show negroes how to become good citizens by becoming better examples themselves," he argues. "Treating the problem sane-ly will eliminate it as a problem. And I'm a good Southern Democrat, tool" "BIRTH OF A NATION" FILM STOPPED IN BOSTON. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, has published a statement giving in detail the events leading up to the prevention by Mayor Peters of Boston of the showing of David W. Griffith's film, "The Birth of a Nation." On May 16th, the day on which the picture was to have been shown, Mayor Peters suspended the license of the Shubert Theatre, acting upon the recommendation of the Board of Censors, which had received protests from the Boston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Butter R. Wilson, secretary of the Boston Branch, N. A. A. C. P., acted as attorney for the protestants against the film, among whom were a colored post of the American Legion; the Knights of Columbus; the Colored Veterans of All Wars; the National Colored Pythian organization, the National Equal Rights League, Wm. H. Lewis, Rev. M. A. M. Shaw of the Twelfth Baptist Church, Rev. Walter D. McLean and others. The protest submitted to the Mayor of Boston by Mr. Wilson for the N. A. A. C. P. asked that the showing of the "Birth of a Nation" be prevented— 1. Because it is a malicious misrepresentation of the colored people, depicting them as moral perverts. 2. Because it glorifies the most abominable crime of the lynching of men, women and children by irresponsible mobs. 3. Because it arouses sharp race antagonisms that embitter citizens against each other. 4. Because it tends to a breach of the public peace. As a consequence of the protest, a hearing was held on the very day on which the film was to be shown. After the hearing and the protest the theatre license was suspended that very day, and it became impossible to show the picture in Boston. The light made, against the "Birth of a Nation" in New York City by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People did not succeed as in Boston, because in New York there are no censors with the authority conferred on those in Bos- ton. The Mayor and Police Commissioner of New York, to whom protests were carried, declared their lack of legal authority to interfere with the showing. CHESTER BROOK NEWS.

If the "lily-whites" are not satisfied with the principles of the Republican party, why, they should be given "their letters" to go and join the Democrats, where they will be more at home. These back-woods, behind-the-sun "lily-whitees" of the South are flirting with the Republicans and are howling, too, for a "white man's party," and they are doing it, too, in the face of the facts that the Socialist party is preaching brotherly love and a square deal to all mankind, white and colored alike. And people who are not wholly insane will not require much louder noise to cause them to awake and sit up and take notice. Be it remembered, too, by the much-honored Republican National Committee, that the faithful and deserving colored voters are very much awake and are keeping their diaries on everything that's being said and done against them. The colored citizens stood by the Republicans in the great fight in 1920, when they were on the "outside," with tears in their eyes, looking in. Let the "lily-whites" establish a white man's party in the South, if you please, and it will only be a question of a very short time before these same Southerners will "move their tents" north, east and west to get rid of the colored brother in those sections of the country as well. So, colored brethren of the north, east and west, you'd better keep on the alert! And you'd better, make it up in your mind to say to the powers that be, "Inasmuch as ye seek to rob my brethren of their ballots in the South, and otherwise deny them of their God-given rights, you do it also unto me!" The colored voters, with the exception of a very, very few whites, are the only Republicans in the South, anyhow. Count the number of Federal offices to be given out in the South, and that will give the exact number of white Republicans there. And yet these few rainbow office-chasers want to establish a "white man's party"1 Wonder will the Republican National Committee be so ungrateful as to pay any attention to those howling political wolves? We don't believe they will. The colored Republicans are the only true Republicans in the Southland. And I call the leading Republicans' attention to the following story: "Remember, man, and bear in mind, That trusted friends are hard to find. And when you find them just and true, Never change the old for the new. J. C. Cunningham. BATHING BEACH. Editor of The Bee: May the columns of your paper be used to call attention to the fact that the 115,000 colored citizens of this District are deprived of a proper and suitable bathing beach. If it is the order of things to separate the races, to the end of amity and to a continuance of understanding and good feeling, that end cannot be reached by providing every facility and modern convenience for the one and denying it to the other. The taxes paid here are not separated into separate funds, according to the color of those paying such taxes, but all go together in keeping up the expenses of the District, including its playgrounds, bathing beaches, etc., and there is absolutely no justification in turning over to the colored citizens a bathing beach unfit for the use of white bathers and one only used in an emergency when plans were being carried out in building a new and more suitable beach on the Little Basin. Is there any reason existing why a beach cannot be built on the Little Basin for colored bathers, or why the beach cannot be used for all bathers, allowing at least two days in the week for colored? The writer would suggest that the attention of the Community Centers at Lovejoy, Randall, Phillips, Dunbar, Birney, Miner Normal, Garnet-Phelps, and Deanwood be again called to this state of affairs, and that each of these centers dall a special meeting June 9th for the election of one member from each center to form a committee to wait on Colonel Sherrill, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, and acquaint him with the desires of the several communities, and request him to take steps necessary to effect desired improvements or state his reasons for not doing so. The writer would further suggest that such members elected meet at the Dunbar Community Center on May 16th, at 7:30 o'clock, and complete plans for waiving upon Colonel Sherrill. There should be no restrictions as to sex on the committee. These suggestions are made in good faith and with the hope that such changes as may be necessary will un- hesitatingly be made to the end that the purpose be accomplished. Very truly yours, Oliver R.

It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby,Drug Co. 10. Greene street, New York City.

"I knew that truth would crush the lie,— Yet scarcely dared I hope to see The triumph with my mortal eye. "But now I see it! In the sun A free flag floats from yonder dome And at the nation's hearth and home The justice long delayed is done. "Not, as we hoped, in calm of prayer, The message of deliverance comes, But heralded by roll of drums On waves of battle-troubled air!— "Not as we hoped—but what are we? Above our broken dreams and plans God lays, with wiser hand than man's The cornerstones of Liberty." —John Greenleaf Booklet.

The Courageous! The Invincible. Like the late Editor—We are truly democratic! This is a journal for the tenefit of the people, whether they are in high or low places! May God bless and keep these lowly people. May they ever find friends like our late editor who will help them in their struggles toward the light" MEMORIAL DAY. The patriotic people of the District of Columbia paused for a while on the daily routine of their daily tasks last Monday and paid a fitting homage to the veterans of bygone days. The memory of these noble sons of America justly merited this silent tribute. They had given up their lives for their country. They rescued it from slavery, freeing both slave and master. They aimed to make the "world a safer place in which to live." They fought for the true democracy; they fought to crush out shams in order that the world may establish a new and better order of things for all people, irrespective of race, creed, or religion. We who are left must fearlessly take up the work which was so nobly begun by these heroes, and carry it on to a successful finish with an undaunted courage. MUSIC WEEK. Just as John prepared the way for the better work of Jesus Christ, so the great Inter-racial Congress, whose object was to promote amity among the races of the world, should be considered as being the forerunner of the success attending Music Week. The Inter-racial Congress did its work well and lived up to its teachings and ideals. Is the committee on the program for Music Week doing the same? Is it doing its bit, so that the beneficent results from this wonderful movement for the happiness of mankind may be commensurate with the great effort which is being put forth? GOVERNOR DORSEY AND THE STATE OF GEORGIA. In the publication of the booklet which shows 135 cases in which colored Americans were murdered, mobbed, or otherwise mistreated, Governor Dorsey is accused of doing the State of Georgia a great injustice. In this the Governor takes the stand that crime should not be condoned, even at the expense of the State: The Bee thinks the Governor right in this. Crime should be given the greatest publicity for the general information of the public in general, particularly the best element of the State, that it may rise in righteous indignation and power and apply the remedy. The Governor deals exclusively with facts—signed and sworn to by responsible persons. He shows a picture of mob violence, murder, and peonage which to date bears away the palm of all other competitors in lawlessness. Should the lid be lifted from other States, Georgia may lose its rank as number one in the race of man's inhumanity to man. THE ANNUAL COMPETITIVE DRILL. The annual competitive drill of the Third Regiment, High School Cadets, which was held at the American League Baseball Park on last Thursday afternoon, demonstrated that all the companies showed signs of careful and thorough training. The winning team from Armstrong Manual Training School outclassed them all in military tactics. The Bee is pleased to note, though, the masterly manner in which all of the other companies took their defeat after the decision rendered by the judges to the successful ones. ANNIVERSARY. On June 6th the Washington Bee will be 42 years old. In social service for the uplift of mankind in general, the numerous letters of felicitation on this, the occasion of its birthday, would have us believe that The Bee's years and good deeds for humanity are innumerable. Many others say that The Bee is a welcome guest in their households. For all the friendly, noble and lofty sentiments expressed about The Bee, together with generous material birthday gifts on the occasion of its 42nd birthday, The Bee thanks you in the name of the late Editor, whose memory you aim to commemorate and whose work you wish to see live. REMEMBERED AFTER DEATH. The Bee thanks the friends of the late Editor for the generous floral gifts placed upon his tomb on Decoration Day. BETWEEN THE COLORED AND WHITE Brilliant Meeting—Record Attendance—Powerful Enthusiasm—Inspiring Music—Lofty Purposes Set Forth. Mr. Albert R. Vail, of Chicago, spoke on "The Radiant Century of the Passing of Prejudice," and among the things he said was "Nobody knows the trouble prejudice has brought to the world except the loving heart of God." He told interesting stories showing the absurdity of prejudice, and asked all to have hearts pure as those of children, who are happily free from it. He compared it to a thick cloud over people's eyes shutting out the light of reality. With convincing arguments beautifully phrased which aroused his hearers to high moral enthusiasm, he asked them to put it aside. Presiding at the Friday morning session Mr. Vail said: "We stand at the door of universal brotherhood. Looking at the truth of God's teaching, we find that all men are brothers. At most, some are strong, and they ought to support the weak; some have vision and they ought to open the eyes of the blind; some have loving hearts, and they should through kindness inspire others to be kind." Hon. Theodore Burton, of Ohio, deplored the increase of race prejudice stirred up among all races by the war, and made a strong plea for tolerance and freedom. He advised the colored people not to segregate themselves, to bring criminals to justice and to think with liberal minds. Those who persevere to the end will surely succeed. Mr. C. Lee Cook of Louisville, Ky., a most remarkable man, a cripple from early childhood, who is a artist, scholar, organizer, philanthropist, promoter of peace, was the next speaker. Spiritual citizenship he felt was necessary. Patience and service must be dedicated to this end. Racial understanding and amity cannot be secured by hypocrisy and pretense. They depend upon sincere conviction. The ideals of Christian citizenship must be advanced through the Holy Orders of Providence. Business life was a medium of conveying altruism to the world of mankind. But in this greed must be abandoned. If we are fit to die for an ideal then we shall live. Virtues are demanded to direct the moral forces of the world. There is a great possibility for America to teach and enlighten the world. The last to speak in the morning was Louis G. Gregory on "The New Springtime." The New Springtime is the divine springtime, in which the refreshing bounties of God flow forth. Harmony among the races will exalt America's station among the nations. If able to compose its own differences, this nation will become the arbiter of world peace. On Friday evening, Dr. Alain L. Locke, presiding, expressed the great effort of the convention to be the unity of heart and mind in human succor, exemplifying the power of a new spirit in a new day. Hon. Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, urged equal opportunity for white and colored citizens. He praised the wonderful progress of the colored people since their liberation. He predicted that anti-lynching legislation will be enacted at this session of Congress. The government should uphold its own dignity by enforcing justice. Mr. Alfred H. Martin, president of the Ethical Culture Society of New York, delivered, a polished, but foreful address on "The New Internationalism and its Spiritual Factors." He pleaded for the spiritual consciousness of democracy. It is for the whites of the North and the South to open the door of opportunity to the backward colored people, with no presuppositions of unfitness on inability to gain the prizes of responsibility. The colored people must serve as missionaries to those ignorant whites who are so victimized by prejudice that they cannot see the potentialities behind the dark skin. On Saturday morning, Miss Ora Gibson read a prayer of unity. Mr. Mountfort Mills, of New York, presiding, said, "We are following a more far-reaching purpose than the program alone. We seek that mighty force which develops a new civilization. Amity between the races is a by-product of this. Such a civilization requires intelligence of the heart." Mr. William H. Randall, of Boston, said, "My note is the Power of God. We live too much in the past. This is a new age. Let us live according to its ideals. Severance service selflessness are the three graces of the new age. Peace is born from the heart of humanity. When people want it, then it comes. In this new age we must find what the heart teaches us." Miss Martha Root read a letter from General Nelson A. Miles, saying his absence from the convention was due only to the duty devolved upon him of delivering a flag to a colored regiment for gallantry. He favored inter-racial amity and praised the devotion of the colored race. Rev. Dr. McComb, of Baltimore, wrote favoring the education of both races, saying, "Justice is God's Will and His Will is Love." Dr. C. Sumner Wormley with his wonderful voice sang two solos and responded to an encore. Mr. Ahmad, Sohrab, of California and Persia, said: "The points of difference among men are far less than the points of contact. If we dwell upon the points of agreement it will be the means of ushering in the kingdom. These are (1) The Physical Body; (2) The Power of Growth; (3) The Tangible Senses; (4) The Power of Intelligence; (5) Patriotism which should no longer be limited, but expanded into world patriotism; (6) Education; (7) Civilization; (8) Language. The same tongue is a great point of unity; (9) Religion. The question of brotherhood is the very soul of the age. Now God has laid down a plan for the regeneration of humanity. It is our duty to put aside limited notions and adopt the principles of God. The session of Saturday evening closed the convention. Mr. Howard MacNutt, of Brooklyn, presided. He told the delegates that the work would be continued by the committee which was in charge of the arrangements for the convention. Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, a member of the Board of Education of Washington, delivered an address on colored poets and their poetry. She praised the work of Dunbar, Phyllis Wheatley, William Stanley Braithwaite, Jessie Fauset and others well-known in the poetic field, interpreting their selections to the high entertainment of her polished hearers. She also read favorable criticisms from white critics. Mr. C. Lee Cook, of Louisville, who spoke again by request, urged the delegates and friends to work hard for the blotting out of racial misunderstandings. This he thought was difficult, but not impossible. Nothing worth while was accomplished in life without effort and sacrifice. Janabi Fazel, of Persia, told how the prejudices, once so strong in Persia among the various races and religions, were now being wiped out. This was through the great Sun of Truth, which has arisen in that far-off land, and which brings the brightness and cheer of divine love to the hearts. It is impossible to conceive how these people once hated each other. But this has largely given way to larger intelligences and purer hearts. He related several amusing stories to illustrate the narrowness of the people. But now through the light of heavenly teachings, men of different races, nationalities, colors and religions, are all associating together in the greatest joy and peace. This is the miracle of Divine Love. He hoped that through this same power race antagonism and prejudice would be eradicated from America. The Howard University Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. LeRoy W. Tibbs, entertained with several selections, one of which was a solo, "Go Down Moses," by Mr. Thornton, a club member. Mr. Austin Burleigh was identified, and responded with a recitation composed by his mother, Mrs. Louise Burleigh. So ended this historical convention, different in scope and power from anything of the kind held before, but foreshadowing many similar efforts in future which will help sorrowing humanity to the hope and light of the better day. WAYLAND SEMINARY ALUMNI REUNION. The Alumni met May 6 and unanimously elected Mr. Fountain Peyton, president; Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, vice-president; Rev. Holland Powell, treasurer, and Rev. J. I. Loving, secretary. Two objectives for this year were agreed upon—(a) To contribute all we can to Virginia Union University (at Richmond, Va.) and (b) to form a permanent organization. Moton, Miss M.

Dr. Samuel McComb, Rector of the Church of the Messiah, Baltimore, Md., Says of the Colored and White Races. Letter From General Miles. Washington, D. C., May 10, 1921. Springtime-Summertime Mrs. Agnes S. Parsons, Washington, D.C. My dear Madam: Appreciating your kind invitation, I regret that I am engaged to present a flag to the Fifteenth New York National Guard, a regiment of colored soldiers, many of whom have recently returned from beneath poisonous gases and liquid fire while bravely serving in France. This necessitates my absence from the city. As I understand the object of your convention is to discourage crime, prejudice and race hatred and encourage a deep and strong reverence for universal justice and the supremacy of law, I can conceive of no more worthy or commendable enterprise. "The Velvet Kind" REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. The subject is not new to me. Under our enlightened civilization and wonderful progress as a nation, the red man, the black man and the brown man has had a hard experience. Two hundred years of warfare with the Aborigines, two hundred years of slavery for the Ethiopians and twenty years of subjugation for the brown man are not the most interesting or creditable parts of our history. As we cannot change the past, we can at least render the future worthy of our high sense of honor, justice and humanity. Now the great problem is how best can we promote the present and future welfare of a race that came to this country, not as all others, of their own free will, but were separated from their native land, and after a serious experience for centuries, have become an important factor in this country, numbering approximately one-twelfth of our population. From a condition of abject servitude their improvement has been marked in point of industry and education. In the main, they have been law-abiding. The influence of their churches and schools has been most commendable. In all the wars of the last half century they have furnished our government hundreds of thousands of soldiers for valor and sacrifice. September 1, 1918, at the close of the great war, there were 351,677 colored soldiers in armies of the United States. Made without the use of gelatine, gums, starch or fillers Made with pure cream, pure milk, pure cane sugar and natural flavors. THERE IS NONE "JUST AS GOOD" Chapin-Sacks Corporation Franklin 4800 Four years after they were emancipated, I wrote in an official report the account of their improvement and condition. Seeing 25,000 colored children in the schools, the thought came to me that some of these might go back to bless the country of inexhaustible resources that for so many centuries has been waiting for modern civilization. The evidence of their wonderful progress in the last half century is demonstrated by resolutions framed and signed by some of the most prominent men and women of our country. There were such names as Julia Ward Howe, Robert Lincoln, Chief Justice Melville Fuller, Vice-President Morton, Secretary of State Olney, Chas. Francis Adams. They testified that during the preceding forty years there had been commendable progress in education, industry and improvement of the colored race ascending to a higher plane in moral character, intelligence and in the better qualities that are essential to good citizenship. --- It is interesting that your most worthy associates should now be concerned not only in promoting good feeling towards an unfortunate race, but their improvement and future welfare. Abundant illustrations could be given of the valor of the colored people. They have never been whipped in their wars on the plains with the savage Indians. Two illustrations demonstrate their fortitude, courage and patriotism. One occurred in 1862, just after the Merrimac had sunk the Cumberland, and Congress threatened to destroy the remainder of the fleet before the Monitor came into action. The commander of the fleet appealed to General Wool, commanding the department, for additional men to assist in manning his ships which were much depleted. A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship. The Teacher Training Department The Grammar School The Divinity School The Academy The Commercial Department The School of Arts and Sciences The Department of Home Economics The Department of Music The Department of Social Service Whereupon Col. LeGrand B. Cannon, a staff officer, said he would call for volunteers of a large camp of colored refugees, nearby at the time. He went out to the camp and called the large group of men together. When they were standing in line, he explained the dangerous and hazardous enterprise, but he said war was going on in which their race was interested. This was their opportunity to demonstrate whether they had courage and patriotism. PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA He called for volunteers to go abroad and, to his surprise, they moved forward as one man to offer their services. During the war with Spain the army was in front of the fortifications of Santiago when yellow fever broke out. Hospitals and hospital camps were crowded. It was difficult to get nurses and attendants. This was reported to me. I ordered the Twenty-fourth Infantry, colored, that nurses and attendants were required. It was explained that this was dangerous service, as they were liable to contract the fever. Only volunteers were desired. In response the whole regiment stepped forward. In your present convention for amity between the colored and the white races, please accept my congratulations and best wishes for your success. With highest esteem, I remain Very sincerely, (Signed) Nelson A. Miles, Lieut. General, U. S. Army... Letter From Rev. Dr. Samuel Mc Comb, Rector of the Church of the Messiah, Baltimore. 409 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, Md., May 16, 1921. To the Members of the Committee: It is with great regret that I must, owing to imperative engagements here, deny myself the pleasure of attending the convention for amity between the colored and the white races. That the aims of the convention must command the sympathy of every thoughtful person goes without saying. Never was there greater need than now for a fresh and unified effort to bring about a kindlier understanding between the colored and white people, and that not in the interest of our country only, but of the whole world. How can America use her mighty forces for peace among the nations if she gives the scoffer or the cynic opportunity to say, "physician, heal thyself." First of all, let it be proclaimed that the man who sows discord between the two races, the white who exploits or injures or insults his dark brother, and the colored man who allows his behavior toward his white brother to be governed by jealousy or dislike, commits a crime against our social well-being, and, as far as in him lies, is retarding the spiritual progress of the people as a whole. It should be preached in all churches, schools, homes and through the newspapers that the spiritual resources of America are being wasted by the latent or open spirit of race antagonism. What, then, are the remedies for the present unhappiness? I believe that abundant hope lies in the education of the young of both races. It is, by constantly impressing on the plastic mind of the young of the rising generation the wonderful and noble elements in both races, by perpetually insisting on the duty and joy of searching for what is true and good in each, that a better understanding will gradually grow up. I am deeply convinced that all our efforts will be in vain unless we experience a change of heart and take home to ourselves the spiritual lessons of the war. Surely the message of that colossal wrong is; "Cease hating one another; learn to help and serve each his brother." The white race needs the colored race, and the colored race needs the white. Let every man ask himself, "Who is my neighbor?" and he will find no other answer than that of Christ: He is my neighbor of whatever race or creed NQRTH 470 or color who needs my kindness and my help. May your convention help on the spread of these and allied ideas, that justice may prevail among all classes of the community, for justice is God's will and "His will is our peace."

Charging many atrocities by American marines and the native gendarmerie in Haiti, and demanding withdrawal of United States forces, three Haitian delegates are here to present a memorial to President Harding, the State Department and Congress. The memorial, recently made public, reviews the five years of occupation and declares that it is "the most terrible regime of military autocracy ever carried on in the name of the great American democracy." The naval investigation is characterized as a "joke" and Rear Admiral Knapp is accused of having done "nothing at all" when he visited Haiti under orders from Secretary Daniels to make an inquiry. "The Haitian people feel," says the memorial, "that if the naval court of inquiry has not fulfilled in Haiti the broad mandate conferred on it by Mr. Josephus Daniels it is because it was faced with charges of such a horrible nature it thought best to pass them over." Among Acts Charged.. Among acts charged against the American occupation are: American occupation are: Administration of the "water cure" and other torture by American officers and marines and the commission of "numberless abominable crimes," of which twenty-five cases are given. Removal of $500,000 of Haitian government funds which American marines "took on board the gunboat Machias" and which were deposited in New York, to "force the Haitian government to accept control of the customs houses by depriving them of financial resources." Entrance by Brigadier General S. D. Butler on June 19, 1917, revolver in hand, followed by American officers, armed, into the Haitian assembly. Enforced ratification on, June 12, 1918, of a new Haitian constitution with marines presiding at the ballot Phone North 836-W box, only ballots bearing the word "yes" being issued. Exclusion from the naval board of inquiry of "all Haitians who had anything to say regarding the numerous cases of murder, brutality, rape, arson, etc." People Ask Reparations. Furthermore it is charged that more than 4,000 prisoners died in 1918, 1919 and 1920 in the prisons at Cape Haitien, and that at Chabert, an American camp, 5,475 prisoners died. The memorial states that during the five years of American occupation Haiti "has passed through such sacrifices, tortures, destructions, humiliations and misery as have never before been known in its unhappy history." For these "wrongs and injuries" the Haitian people ask reparations, says the memorial, and they also request: Immediate abolition of martial law and court-martials. Immediate reorganization of the Haitian police and military forces and withdrawal of the American forces. Abrogation of the convention of 1915, with all guarantees of electoral liberty. The Haitian delegates represent the Patriotic Union of Haiti, described as a non-partisan organization. CHARLES W.

Everyone has heard and doubtless have grown weary of plays in a lighter vein. But how about light plays in a darker vein? Th siis the type of entertainment that will be presented at the Howard Theatre on Monday next, when "The Smarter Set," a company consisting entirely of colored entertainers, will appear, presenting a new and original musical creation, entitled "Bamboula," a jazzonian operetta in two acts and ten scenes, which tells of a musical fanatic who, after hearing the first four measures of an ancient African melody, and not knowing whence it originated, conceived the idea of tracing its origin, in order to prove that the Africans as other people have contributed to the music of the world. The co-stars of the organization are Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, who are brothers, not only in art, but in blood also, and the variation in name having been made in the first instance for theatrical purposes. They are, moreover, co-authors of the libretto and lyrics of "Bamboula," which is said to carefully avoid such time-honored episodes as that of the deacon and chicken, the illicit invasion of the melon patch, and the "Missouri humming bird," with a wallop in both heels. SIXTY-TWO GET DIPLOMAS AT COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Prominent State Officials Give Addresses at Colored School—Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D. C., Is the Commencement Speaker. (Special to The Bee by C. H. East.) West Virginia Institute, May 3f. The greatest event of the year at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, a few miles west of Charleston, occurred last week. State officials attending the commencement exercises commended officials and its instructors at the institute and in speeches, challenged the graduates to go to their homes and prove their worth to their communities and to the State. The commencement speaker was Miss. Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D. C., a nationally known colored woman. She was one of the most effective individual workers in the Liberty Loan and Red Cross campaigns during the world war. State Officials Attend. State officials present at the exercises, later making an inspection of this educational plant, were Governor E. F. Morgan, George M. Ford, superintendent of free schools; James S. Lakin, member of the board of control; J. Walter Barnes, treasurer of the board of control; W. W. Saunders, supervisor of colored schools and a member of the advisory council of the state board of education, and George S. Laidley, superintendent of Charleston schools. The commencement exercises were preceded by an academic procession, which was photographed in moving pictures. These pictures will be on display in theatres in all parts of the state. In the procession were undergraduates, parents of students, state officials, graduates and officials of the institute. The commencement was attended by a large crowd, in spite of an electric and rainstorm that swept the valley at the opening of the ceremonies. Spectators were there from all parts of the state. The program was opened with music, followed by prayer by D. F. Merritt, of Cameron, pottery manufacturer. The roll of graduates was then called. Representatives of the classes from 1896 to 1921 responded. Only four classes were not represented. Addresses Are Given. The first speakers were the state officials. George S. Laidley was introduced and he was followed by Treasurer Barnes. Mr. Lakin reviewed the appropriation of the recent legislature in so far as Collegiate Institute is affected, and predicted that within a few years the institution would be one of the greatest in the country for colored students. W. W. Sanders then talked briefly, complimenting the students and officials of the school alike.
