Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, returned today after a personal investigation of the recent race riot in Tulsa, Okla., saying that between 150 and 200 colored Americans were killed in the riots and at least fifty white persons. Mr. White declared that the riot was largely due to a misuse of the word "attack" and "assault," the impression being given that a colored man had attempted rape upon a white girl, whereas he had merely stumbled in an elevator, and in attempting to recover his balance stepped upon her foot. "Having been sworn in as a deputy sheriff, and having been on patrol as such during the Tulsa riot," said Mr. White today, "I am able to state that the Tulsa riot in sheer brutality and willful destruction of life and property stands without a parallel in America. "Abuse and misuse of the word assault caused the entire conflagration. A white girl operating an elevator in a public building, declared that a colored boy had attempted to assault her. Without stopping to inquire, and without considering the utter impossibility of criminal assault being perpetrated in broad, open daylight in the public elevator of a public building, on a principal street of a town of 100,000, a senseless mob set out to 'avenge the honor of white womanhood.' "As a result, between 200 and 250 white and colored citizens are known to have been killed, an unknown number of colored men and women and children were burned alive, forty-four square blocks of business and residential property valued at a million and one-half dollars were destroyed, and everlasting damage done to the name of Tulsa and of Oklahoma. "In justice to Tulsa it must be said that a large percentage of the white inhabitants condemned in unmeasured terms the outrage which has been perpetrated. The Salvation Army, the Red Cross, local relief agencies and churches have done commendable work in providing food, clothing and shelter for the destitute victims of the riot. tims of the riot. "Tulsa's experience is exceedingly important, in that conditions which led to its night of terror exist in many other cities North and South, and unless unusual efforts are used the gravest consequences are to be feared. Some of the white citizens of Tulsa are attempting to blame the riot on the 'radicalism' of colored newspapers. When I questioned them regarding the nature of this radicalism, I found invariably that it consisted of demands by colored Americans that the federal Constitution be enforced and that lynching, peonage, disfranchisement and Jim-Crowism be abolished. disfranchisement and Jim-Crowishism “There will be a state of investigation of the riot, but in the opinion of the citizens of Tulsa it will amount to nothing. The Tulsa riot has convinced me that the only hope of averting repetitions of it lies in federal interference.” COLORED BATTALIONS NOT TO BE INCLUDED IN MASS- SACHUSETTS GUARD. Boston, Mass.: Demand upon the Adjutant General of Massachusetts to know whether the Second Separate Battalion of Infantry of Massachusetts had been included in a regiment, as had been reported after a favorable forecast issued by the Associated Negro. Press, revealed that the same National Guard segregation initiated by the Wilson administration with the sole difference of a change of designation from "Pioneer Infantry" to "Auxiliary Engineers." The reply reads: More important still was the following letter, constituting the "ruling of the War Department" mentioned above, from the Secretary of War Weeks to the Governor of Massachusetts.

Hon. Channing Cox, Gov. of Mass. Boston, Mass. My. Dear Gov. Cox: Mr. W. A. Matthews, colored lawyer of Boston, has interviewed me on the subject of the recognition of a company of Colored men in the Massachusetts National Guard. I find on investigation that the Bureau of Military Affairs has offered the recognition of this unit as Auxiliary Engineers, and the National War Department has determined for National Guard that it would be inadvisable to have mixed units, some white and some Colored, and that is the reason why the organization can not be recognized as infantry. The recognition of this unit as Auxiliary Engineers, however, puts them in a class which is considered by the War Department as very high grade, the Engineers being specially selected troops.

Laurence Fenninger, who is the chaplain at Hampton Institute, has announced, as executive secretary of the Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute, the program for the eighth annual meeting, which will be held from June 27 to July 1 in Memorial Church. "The Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute," says Mr. Fenninger, "was organized to afford an opportunity to ministers of all denominations to meet for a few days of study and discussion of the great common problems which they are facing in their work." The following Conference lecturers have been secured: Rev. Levi Batman, pastor of the First Christian Church, Youngstown, O.; President Butterfield, of Massachusetts Agricultural College; Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, Charlottesville, Va.; Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, New York City; Rev. Hermann N. Morse, director of publicity of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, New York; Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the "A. M. E. Church Review," Oceanport, N. J.; and Archdeacon James S. Russell, principal of the St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va. The annual sermon will be preached for the Conference by the Rev. Dr. J. H. Ashby, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Norfolk, June 27.

Johnson, Hampton; A. A. Hector, Richmond; and E. E. Ricks, Newark, N. J., vice presideht, and J. W. Lemon, Ark, Va., recording secretary. GRANTED. NEW, TRIAL AFTER A LONG WAIT. Clara Johnson, 19 years old: convicted of manslaughter in connection with the killing of Detective Sergt. Wilson during the race riot which took place in this city almost two years ago, in July, was granted a new trial by Justice Siddons in Criminal Division 1. Because the late Justice Gould had expressed to him, the court said, a doubt he entertained of the correctness of his ruling in refusing a prayer of Attorney B. L. Gaskins, for the defense, concerning the law of self-defense in the case Justice Siddons felt compelled to grant the new trial. When this affair happened Clara Johnson was 17 years old, the court pointed out, and was scared undoubtedly at the noise made by the tramping feet of the detectives as they entered her home at night, and might easily have reached the conclusion that the approaching men were members of a mob and that she might be the victim and so fired the fatal shot. A jury ought to be allowed to pass on this phase of the situation, the court stated. BEATEN BY POLICEMAN. Until our officers of the law learn how to abide by it, we need have no hope for reform in the acts of violence from mob rule throughout the country. Mr. James Hawkins, 231 V Street, is a respectable, hard-working, honest citizen, who has respect for law and order, who was witnessing a game of base ball from a telegraph pole at the American League Base Ball Park, as were two white men nearby. What harm was he doing? None to the pole, none to himself, and none to any one about him. He was singled out, called down from the pole, and badly beaten by an officer of the law. An act of this kind makes trouble for both the better-thinking colored and whites of the District of Colum- bia. No one can view these acts of injustice, whether he is black or white, without a feeling of the greatest indignation and concern. It is hoped that the administration may do something to put to an end these acts of injustice and lawlessness by our officers of the law, who are supposed to stand for right and justice.

One hundred and sixty-nine degrees were conferred upon graduates of the Howard University by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee president of the university at the Fifty-second Annual Commencement exercises held on the University campus, Friday, June 10 1921. The honorary degree of Doctor of Science was conferred upon Dr. Charles E. Bentley, of Chicago, Ill. The exercises were preceded by the academic procession which started from the steps of the Howard University Carnegie Library at 4 o'clock, led by the R. O. T. C. Band, which played the processional march, and headed by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer; Hon. William H.

Consul General, were guests of the University, occupying places of honor on the platform and in the academic procession which preceded the exercises. Commencement Program. The invocation by the Rev. Jason Noble Pierce, of the First Congregational Church, of Washington, began the exercises, and was followed by an overture by the R. O. T. C. Band, after which the Hon. William H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass., former assistant Attorney General of the United States; delivered the 'Commencement Address, choosing as his subject "A Plea for the Reign of the Law." Mr. Lewis said: "When I stood here last I did not hear the peaceful bells calling men and women to the recitation hall or chapel for a period of study and meditation; but this campus resounded with arms, with the tramp of marching men. I heard the bugle call to the assembly, and there passed in review the Students Army Training Corps, 457 men, the very pick and flower of our schools and colleges. Howard University, nestling within the shadow of the Capitol, supported increasingly by the Nation itself for the education of the colored youth, could not fail to answer the country's call for trained leadership and unselfish service. This spirit of her great founder and inspirer, that great Christian soldier and patriot, Gen. O. O. Howard, a name worthy to stand in history by the side of Godfrey de Boullion and Sir Philip Sidney, keeps its vigil here. In his spirit the men of Howard went forth to the war. The University will ever cherish the memory of Fairfax, Proctor, Davis, Summons, Cork, and Carter, who gave their all to country and humanity— "To make the next age better for the last." In the words of another line of Lowell's commemoration ode. "We welcome back our bravest and our best." "To our living heroes, young Dent, Goodloe, Curley, Jones, Long, and Heslip, be ever the pride and glory of Alma Mater." "I depreciate the recent attempt in some quarters upon a plea of sincerity and truth to destroy the splendid idealism with which the American youth went forth to war; by asserting they were 'afraid to fight.' I rather cherish the idealism of 'the great leader who said 'That our object is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world, as against selfish and autocratic power,' that they went, forth to fight 'for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government, for the rights and liberties of small nations' as well as the great. Victory of the Allies was a triumph in part at least, of those great ideals." "Have we Colored Americans a right to claim a share in the fruits of victory? Have we a right to speak of the lessons of war? When the age-long conflict between the Teuton and Gall for dominion and power and glory had once more set Europe afame, and the conflagration was ex- tending wider and farther to other nations, and the whole structure of our modern, civilization menaced, when the honor of America was assailed, her prestige among, nations challenged, the rights of her nationals upon the high seas violated, in contemptuous disregard of all law, the colored American asked only for a chance to prove his fidelity, loyalty, and devotion to American institutions and ideals. Half a million men filled the ranks of our armies; two thousand went over the seas to serve in France and Italy. Whether with depot brigades, the stedevore regiments, the Engineers, so called, doing the menial work of the army, they did not complain, they were happy in such service. Along that "fair flung battle-line" from the Yser to the Marne, with the fighting units of the army, they bravely met death in every conceivable shape. Their blood and bones, mingled with the sacred soil of France, will nourish the tree of liberty for a thousand years, and make 'Liberty, fraternity, and equality a thing worth fighting for, and if need be, worth dying for." D. Durkee Confers Degrees. Following the commencement address, President J. Stanley Durkee conferred degrees in arts, science, religion, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and law upon the candidates who were presented to him by the deans of the various schools and colleges of the University.

Dr. Durkee's Charge to Graduates. In· the baccalaureate sermon by President Durkee he made the following charge to the 1921 graduates: "Graduates of 1921: Your years of work, bring you to this hour with high hopes. Against discouragements, defeats, hunger and cold even have you fought, as well as foes both within and without your own hearts. In the face of every obstacle have you pressed on until you stand here today certified by the different schools of the University from which you graduate, as worthy in scholarship and character to go out, representa- tives, of your Alma Mater. I congratulate you on your personal achievements. I congratulate you for winning the confidence and esteem of your University. I congratulate you that you are henceforth to be recorded among-American scholars. "A significant expression is that which speaks of your graduation as a commencement. You are really standing by the open gates which invite you into new meadow lands, or hill country, or, perchance, great and wild mountainous regions. You are commencing your careers as educated men and women in the special fields of endeavor as chosen by you. "For a little we hold you here, congratulating you, cherishing your friendships, rejoicing in your potentialities, and then we must see you scatter out over these untried ways. We want you to have ideals. History teaches us that these noblest ideals center in the life and character of the Man of Nazareth. I have quoted you His words as the key to your power and your success. "As the great lines carry energy from the power plant to far distant places, that mechanical loads may be lifted, streets and homes lighted, and human life everywhere blessed, so you are to be life and light bringers to your village, town, city, nation and world, witnessing to the supreme values in cultured bodies, cultured brains, cultured souls. Let the light which shines from God through you, so shine before those with whom you come in contact, that they may realize your power and their own weakness, if unconnected with God and the truest cultures of life, and be led to glorify their lives in God and glorify God's life in them. This is your mission, your task, your reach, graduates of 1921, and this your friends and loved ones long to see you accomplish, and for this God waits to crown you victors." On Monday, June 6, the last chapel service of the school year, as in the custom of previous years, was conducted by the senior class. In the evening President and Mrs. Durkee were "at home" to the graduates of the various schools and colleges of the University. Trustees Meeting and Ground Breaking Exercises. The annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University was held on Tuesday, June 7, and Rev. Charles H. Richards, of New York City; Mr. Rolfe Cobleigh, Boston, Mass.; Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Washington, D. C.; Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, Washington; Dr. J. E. Moorland, New York City; Bishop John Hurst, Baltimore; Dr. William A. Sinclair, Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. Charles B. Purvis, Boston, Mass.; Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, Newport, B. I.; Andrew F. Hillyer, Esq., Washington; Dr. J. H. N. Waring, Hopkinton, Mass.; and James C. Napier, Esq., Nashville, Tenn., the trustees present, took part in the ground-breaking exercises at 12:45 Tuesday afternoon for the University's new dining hall and home economics building, which is to be erected and ready for occupancy by the end of the year. Each member of the Board of Trustees, turned a spadeful of dirt." A simple program of exercises was followed and the University R. O. T. C. Band played the Howard "Alma Mater" song and several other selections. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of the University, presided and Dr. Enimett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, reported the Congressional action providing $201,000 for the erection of the building. Various Other Events. On Tuesday evening a play was presented by the Societe Francaise on the steps of the Carnegie Library, and the senior prom was held in Spaulding Hall. An exhibition drill was held on the University campus on Wednesday, June 8, by the Senior Unit of the Howard University R. O. T. C., at 1:30 in the afternoon. Later in the afternoon, a literary program was given in the chapel by the pharmaceutical college, and in the evening at 7:30 o'clock, the senior class day exercises were held on the campus. "The Canterbury Pilgrims." The department of dramatic art introduced a pleasing innovation in the functions of commencement week by presenting the Howard Players on Thursday evening. June 9, in a wonderful outdoor performance of "The Canterbury Pilgrims" by Percy Mackaye. The-beauty and artistry of the setting and the work of the players themselves far surpassed any previous dramatic production of college players. Over a thousand persons sat in the natural amphitheater on the campus and marveled at the wonderful scenes. The individual work of the players was of high order. Ethel Skinker, as the wife of Bath, gave a charming portrayal of that character. Grace Nash, as the Prioreess, pleased with her rich voice and lovely personality. Bernard Pryor acted the part of Chaucer superbly. Mr. Pryor because of his splendid acting in the Howard Players' presentation of "The Emperor Jones," has been engaged to play the part of the Witch Doctor this summer in the European tour of Charles Gilpin. Quaint and delightful old English dances were demonstrated under the direction of Ottie Graham, who is rapidly developing her original ideas in interpretative and artistic dancing. Appropriate music was offered by chorus and the University R. O. T. C. Band. Prof. Montgomery Gregory is directing the work of the dramatic department with the assistance of Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest, the noted director of pageantry and drama. The aim is to develop at Howard University a great center for the dramatic and artistic life of the Negro race. A truly great Negro theater is their early hope and intention. Alumni Reunion and Luncheon. On commencement day. Friday, June 10, the National Alumni Association held a business meeting in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, at which officers were elected and installed, Attorney Isaac H. Nutter, of Atlantic City, N. J., being reelected to the presidency of the association. The annual alumni address was delivered by Hon. W. Ashbie Hawkins, of Baltimore, Md. A business meeting of the Theological Alumni was held in the University administration building, followed by a public meeting in the chapel at noon. The general alumni luncheon took place in the University dining hall at 1 o'clock. Grounds Beautified. During the week the grounds of the University were beautifully decorated with flags and lanterns overhanging the shaded roadways, which led about the campus from the entrances to the various buildings whose openings too were bedecked with flags bespeaking welcome as did the illuminated "Welcome," which greeted everyone as they came upon the campus. Added life entered every event due to the music which was furnished by the R. O. T. C. Band, which rendered concerts daily, from Monday to Friday, under the direction of Mr. Dorcy Rhodes. WORST DISASTER IN UNITED STATES SINCE 1915. Flooding of Pueblo and other Colorado towns, with a reported loss of 500 lives, is the worst disaster that has befallen this country since the sinking of the steamship Eastland at Chicago in 1915 with a loss of 812 lives. Within the last ten years more than 2,000 lives have been lost and millions of dollars' worth of property destroyed by floods of American rivers. The most memorable were: The overflow of the Mississippi in April, 1912, with a loss of 500 lives and the destruction of $3,000,000 worth of property in scores of towns and cities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee. In March, 1913, the Ohio and its tributaries overflowed with serious effects upon a large region, including the cities of Dayton, Hamilton, Zanesville, Columbus and Cincinnati. In Ohio 452 lives were lost and the property loss exceeded $20,000,000. 200 Lost in California. More than 200 persons lost their lives in a flood which overran the valley of the San Luis Rey River in California in January, 1915. The Rio Grande overflowed its banks following heavy rains in July, 1916, and several hundred persons perished, mostly on the Mexican side of the river. There were seventy-six deaths at El Paso and hundreds were made homeless. The greatest American flood occurred when virtually the entire city of Johnstown, Pa., was destroyed May 31, 1889, by the breaking of the Conemaugh dam just outside the city. The exact loss of life was never determined, but reliable estimate placed the number of lives lost at about 2,500. A great part of the damage to Galveston, Tex., in a terrific hurricane of September, 1900, was done by water blown in from the Gulf of Mexico. More than 3,000 persons died and property worth $20,000,000 was destroyed. Other Great Calamities. Other great disasters of the last two decades, in which the loss of life has been heavy, include: 1902—Eruption of Mont Pelee. 30,000 lives lost. 1903—Iroquois theater fire.

New York.—Pierre Eugene de Lespinasse, a member of the General Committee of the Patriotic Union, has issued a statement in which he urges prompt action for the regeneration of his country if its ruin was not to be made complete by the American occupation: "For the first time in 116 years," said M. Pierre Eugene de Lespinasse, "Haiti, during the last five years of American occupation, has defaulted on its interior debt. This debt is held by Haitian people, for the most part, who have suffered severe hardships because of the stoppage of their income, and those who gave credit to the Haitian government by purchasing its obligations, are being ruined. "If Americans wish to do something for Haiti, it is necessary to hasten. Human powers have their limits. Haitians have endured for six years. I do not know how long they can continue to endure. Their country has been devastated by recent events. They are living in a state of destroying insecurity. There is no work to be done. Common people are miserable and underfed, and upward of 100,000 of them have migrated to Cuba. "The first remedy required is financial. It was a crime against the economic strength of the country to fix the value of the national currency, the gourde, at twenty cents for a gourde, when in the last twenty-five years the gourde had been worth a dollar and were several times at a premium over the dollar. "The military devastation that has taken place in Haiti in the last five years can be repaired. It will be more difficult to make reparation for the economic crimes which are killing the country in putting it at a disadvantage with other countries. These are the crimes committed not in the open, but in the silence of diplomatic and financial chambers." COLORED AMERICAN WOMEN START MILK REFORM MOVEMENT. Radical reforms in the environment, equipment and operation of local dairies of New Orleans will be affected if the city Commission Council passes an ordinance proposed by Dr. John Callan, city health superintendent, fixing a legal milk bacteria standard, with penalties for exceeding the limit. Dr. Callan assumed charge of the city health department, and one of his first steps is to unearth and place under inspection dairies formerly not known to exist. There were about 10 registered dairies when he was given the position, and at present there are about 240 listed, and his other aim is to make New Orleans a pure and wholesome city in regard to the handling of milk. Adulteration by watering having been reduced, it is reported the next step is to bring about cleanliness in production. The leading complaints were made by colored American women against the inferiority of milk sold by dealers in their sections started this wonderful movement, and it is proving a great success as well as a great helper.

THE MOST PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZATION The best and most progressive organizations are those which are based upon real democracy and not shams. They are those where the will of the people predominate and not individuals. Where cut and dried plans are not thrust down the throats of the masses who are made to swallow them against their wills. For the success and growth of an organization, the masses must be permitted to elect their own officers, even if they are not the ones whom they desire. No one cares to have food thrust down his throat, even though it be desirable food. He likes to guard, control and masticate that which is essential to his inner being. In like manner he likes to take a hand in whatever concerns him superficially. The best and most progressive organizations are those where a broad-minded person is the servant of the people, and who courts the most liberal expression of views from those whom he serves. Where these rightful expressions are neither side-tracked by the presiding officer nor railroaded through by him. Where they are not criticised because they are diametrically opposite to his views. When he does this he must remember that his expressions are being dissected, in the same manner. He is taking the lead in disorganizing the organization which he is aiming to form and rendering a perfect union an impossibility. In the light of this new era, with its infinitely broad horizon, The Bee thinks that it is time that we as talkers of right should aim to do things in the right way; to lay down the narrow selfishness of the past and work and do things upon a broader and more liberal basis for the common good and satisfaction of all. PRESIDENT HARDING DEPLORES TULSA RIOT AFTER RECEIVING N. A. A. C. P. TELEGRAM. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a letter received from George B. Christian, secretary to President Harding, in which Mr. Christian acknowledged receipt of a telegram the Association had addressed to the President. "Following the receipt of your telegram of June 2." says the letter from President Harding's secretary. "the President, as you will have noticed, made a public expression of his regret and horror at the recent Tulsa tragedy, which reflected his sentiments." The telegram to which the letter came as a reply read as follows: "President Warren G. Harding. Washington. D: C.

MES WELDON JOHNSON." an outbreak of such violence by the other as to severely shock and face of all thinking and civilized race riots of Tulsa once the proud to the speedy action of the wrong the colored Americans who were returning to their quarters; the delayed action of the proper civil authorities to act promptly to prevent loss of life; when they did act they joined the band of rioters and used every civil and military aid to crush out of existence a group of its most progressive and law-abiding citizens, who were helpless to defend themselves. It is all the more censurable in the light of the fact that many of the innocent victims were young men who during the recent World's War took no little share in carrying our flag and our cause to victory. If these outbreaks continue they will be fraught with the gravest peril to our American people and their institutions both white and colored. We must not forget that these colored Americans did not seek the American shores, but for centuries they were exploited and unpaid for their labor. They were set free from the bondage in which they were held without one dollar to recompense them for their lives of unending toil. "They bore no grudge; a great and growing prosperous section of our country; once ruined has arisen again by their toil. We must not pit power against weakness; we must not permit any prejudice of cast or color, or class to injure any group of citizens or make difficult their lot in life, or deny to them one iota of any privilege which under the laws of our country and God, should be theirs." This is the country which has lifted to the admiration of the world its ideals of absolutely free opportunity where no man is supposed to be under any limitation of his character or his mind; where there is supposed to be no distinction of class; "No Distinction of Blood," but where men win or lose on their merit. Business Tulsa by honest labor had toiled in the heat and burden of the day to build up a progressive city of progressive business places and happy homes which were destroyed in one day. Along with the destruction was great loss of life in the most cruel and brutal manner which outrivaled that of the Congo. For these atrocities in a civilized country the Bee hopes that the offenders of the law may be rounded up by Secretary, Daugherty and severely punished for their flagrant crimes. The Bee is not a friend of one class against another class but its duty is to try to make the classes understand one another. "Their part is to lift so high the incomparable standards of the common interests and the common justice that all men of vision, all men of hope, all men with convictions of America in their heart, will crowd to the standard, and the new day of achievement may come for the liberty which we love." The 250th Anniversary of Fredericksburg was celebrated Wednesday, May 25th, 1921. Aside from the beauty and magnificence of the parade, decorations, fetes, etc., there was no part more enjoyable than the "home-coming" of those who had left the old "burg" to make their homes elsewhere. The writer, who was born and reared there, was warmly greeted by old friends, both white and colored, and made to feel that he was yet "at home," though Washington has so long been his home by adoption. He, being a 33d degree Mason, was as promptly recognized by the white brethren of the fraternity as by the colored. While in Fredericksburg he was a guest of Mr. Joseph Walker, senior deacon of Shilo Church (N. S.), for more than sixteen years a carrier of the United States mail. He was also entertained by Prof. and Mrs. J. C. Grant, principal of the public school: Mrs. Helen Coleman and daughter, Mrs. W. G. Dixon, now of Washington. Mrs. Dixon formerly taught in the schools, and also was a visitor to her former home. Mr. and Mrs. Judgd. Coleman and daughter, Mrs. Andrew Jackson, a teacher: Mrs. Caroline Hailstalk. Mrs. Henrietta Wright. Mrs. Fannie Williams and daughter, Mrs. George Alexander. Rev. C. S. Lucas and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beale Williams also contributed to make my stay an enjoyable one. All the above mentioned being lifelong residents from the aristocratic families of Fredericksburg, owning their own attractive homes, besides other real estate holdings, automobiles, businesses, etc. The writer wishes to thank all those who contributed to his pleasure while in his old home town. A grand reception was given in honor of the Men's Willing Workers' Club of the First Baptist Church of Deanwood, Wednesday, June 8th. No honor could be too great to confer upon these men, who have made beautiful this edifice of God. This club was organized for the purpose of improving the church, and since the date of its organization they have made improvements to the amount of two thousand dollars. During the cold weather these faithful workers dug a cellar under the church, concreted it and put in a furnace. Double floors were laid the walls were stenciled with beautiful art work, and many repairs were made to the church. The club bore all the expense except the furnace and flooring. The membership comprises twenty, and the officers are as follows: J. C. King, president; Irby B. King, vice president; L. V. King, secretary; Mr. Johnson, assistant secretary; W. Cisicle, treasurer; Els- With the misunderstanding about the colored American in the army and navy there is always some one who is broad-minded enough to aid. Senator McCormick has introduced an amendment to the Army Appropriation Bill providing for the designation on June 21, 1922, of five additional regiments in the regular army, to be made up of colored American troops. We earnestly hope that this bill will be passed and the men receive the justice due them. HOWARD THEATER. Manager Vincent B.

Race athletes performing in the W. and J. Revival of the championship track and field meet held here, distinguished themselves in several events. Charlie West of W. and J., aside from taking first honors in the quarter-mile run, hung up a new record for W. and J., when he stepped the distance in 51 seconds flat on the field that was slow and heavy. West was hard pressed by Hiler of Carnegie Tech, and to win Charlie was forced to run in the record time. West also captured the javelin throw for W. and J., when he hurled the spear of 152 feet and 10 inches. Gerald Allen, local track favorite, was placed third in the mile run and ran anchor for the Pitt team that captured the one-mile relay. This race in the final heat developed into a bitter and desperate struggle between Allen and West, who also ran anchor for W. and J. Allen had been handed a considerable advantage over West in the final quarter, due to the splendid running of his teammates. Allen received the baton and got away to a flying start before West was tipped off by his teammate. Allen was under way, traveling fast, and it looked hopeless for West. But once under way West began to overhaul Allen and close the the separating gap considerably. But the advantage was too much for West and due to the stiff and stubborn pace which Allen maintained, Pitt was returned the winner. 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" West captured the only two firsts captured by W. and J. in the meet. WILLS ANXIOUS TO MEET CHAMPION Chapin-Sacks Corporation Franklin 4800 Manager of Colored Fighter Will Keep on the Track of Dempsey if American Wins. The clique keeping Harry Wills from meeting Jack Dempsey received an awful setback at Ebbets Field on Decoration Day, when thousands vigorously applauded the colored fighter when he crawled through the ropes to be introduced at a series of fights shortly before the introduction of Georges Carpentier. Aside from the known fact that Dempsey is unwilling to mix it with the colored gladiator, it is no secret that many of the parasites in the game for their personal reasons are encouraging the white champion in keeping away from Harry Wills, and it is this bunch that tried to crawl into a hole when the majority of the fans present at the big field showed by their warm ovation to the modest and unassuming colored fighter that the rank and file are desirous of seeing him in action against the man holding the doubtful title of champion. ```markdown ``` Carpentier was also given a rousing welcome on the above occasion, and his pleasing and gentlemanly bearing again won him a host of admirers. In speaking to the newspapermen present Harry Wills" manager. said that it is his intention to keep after the "Blonde Bruiser" until he lights Wills or appears in his true light before the world. "Dempsey is joking when he says he'll box colored men after he disposes of Carpentier," he said. "Jack wouldn't allow himself to be dragged into the ring for a bout with my man, but we intend to keep after him until he shows the public just where he stands." GOURDIN AND SHELBOURNE ARE CHAMPIONS.

(To get the correct story I invite your readers' attention to the first Kings, 21st chapter.) This wicked king desired the possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. In the second verse of the 21st chapter of the first Kings we read as follows: "And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money." But Naboth refused, saying: "The Lord forbid it me that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto three," etc., etc. I am sighting your many readers' attention to this part of Bible history in order that they may see more clearly the scheme that those damnable murderers worked out in order to rob the poor colored people of their land, and fine homes in Tulsa, Okla. Ahab got the vineyard of Naboth, by the dirty scheme put up by his lying wife, Jezebel, but he paid the just price, which was death! So the infernal murderers, of Oklahoma robbed the colored citizens there. They burned their homes, and now the good (?) white citizens want to help rebuild the homes of the colored people; but, mind you, they want the colored people to have these new homes built in another part of the town! See: Ah, they, like Ahab, have robbed these poor people of their land (or they are planning to do it), but some day they will pay the price, which let us hope, 'twill be a horribly just one! And who cares how soon they'll be called upon for a settle ment. The uncalled for butchering of the colored citizens in this republic is truly enough to rouse the ire of Almighty God. Doubtless many of those mothers and children who were called out of their homes and shot down in Tulsa, Okla., were the widows and orphans of the husbands and fathers who today are sleeping in their graves in far-away France, having sacrificed their lives to make this a safe country to live in. But, as we look at it, they died, but they died in vain! It ought to be death to any hellish mobs that dare to molest the homes of the widows and orphans of the soldiers who died in defence of the Stars and Stripes. These homes, above all, should be protected by the federal government. A little condemnation by the newspapers, and a meaningless tonguelashing by the governors of the states, and the President of these United States, will never break up the lynching and burning sport in this country. No, what is needed is a strong, determined effort put forth by the proper officials of this country—a thing that has never been done—to blot out this lasting shame on this country. Lynching would have been wiped out long since in America, but it all depends on whose ox is gored. A mighty cry of shame was heard in this country when the Germans paid Paris, France, an occasional visit, throwing, out death and destruction from their airplanes on the poor helpless mothers and children whose husbands and fathers were on the front with the colors to save their country. I say a mighty cry of "shame" went up from this country. But we wonder what the Germans thought and said when the Associated Press informed them of the Americans flying over Tulsa, Okla., killing innocent women and children from their planes, piloted by ruffians in Christian (?) American. Perhaps they said, "People who live in glass houses should never throw stones!" Or, perhaps they went a little further and said, "As mean as we are we have never stooped so low as to throw bombs from airplanes on our own loyal citizens! No, that brand of deviltry doesn't belong to any country save Christian American" WOODBRIDGE, VA.

Every colored American in Tennessee who served in any way in the Confederate Army is to receive a pension, according to the action of the Tennessee Legislature that closed its meetings when both house and senate passed the Senate Bill No. 342, and when this bill received the signature of his excellency, Governor Alf Taylor. The real text of the bill provides for a pension for every colored American cooks and servants. It is estimated that there will be thousands of dollars given to disabled members of the race who saw service with the Gray, and who were loyal in every way. The introduction and passing of this bill is regarded in that city as the first forward movement throughout the South to give recognition to those loyal members of the race. COLORED CADETS PARADE BEFORE THE PRESIDENT. On Tuesday of last week the Colored Cadets made their last appearance for this school year, when they were reviewed and made a beautiful showing before the President and a very large gathering on the Ellipse. Each company was saluted by the President, as he was very much interested in the military traing they had received during the year. The President asked many questions of Lieut. Richard Day, U. S. M. C., military instructor, relative to the training of the cadets. The cadets were headed by their own hand, which made a splendid showing of music talent to the President and gathering on the Ellipse. After the ceremonies on the Ellipse the cadets marched up the Avenue home. It is hoped that even a larger number of boys will drill next year. ON THE SIDE LINES. A man's reputation is but the market price of his worth. * * * "Live wires" need no charging * * * The man who needs to be pushed to work will not work with a push. Fate is what most men call their failure. Failure catches all who wait for luck. Truth and ambition are seldom partners. An honest failure is much better than fraudulent success. Clock watchers are not exactly "minute men." Because riches have wings may explain why gilded youth "fly high." Patience is the key of glory. They who make others live in dread live in dread. You can not deceive everybody or try to do so, and win. Promises by some people are worthless. They are as unstable as changeable weather. You can climb the road of success by hard work but it is a rare thing for you to loaf your way up there. Some people wonder why they do not get along successfully in this world and still they are constantly doing something to hinder their own success. Read a good Colored journal for it will broaden your ideas and increase the racial spirit which is so essential to racial success.
