The Washington Bee Congressional Library. City. Resolutions Passed Which Shall Predominate WHICH SHALL PREDOMINATE AT THE ARMAMENT CONFERENCE? THE GOD OF THE NATIONS OR THE ANGLO-SAXON? At a largely attended meeting of the Shiloh Baptist Church of Washington during last week there was passed unanimously a resolution calling upon the Honorable Charles E. Hughes, Secretary of State, to do all in his power to have the God of nations and His Son Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of men, duly recognized at the Armament Conference, soon to be held in this city. The resolution also asked the Secretary of State to insist that the sessions of the conference be opened with prayer and the reading of the Holy Scriptures. In keeping with the spirit of these resolutions Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, the pastor of the church, preached Sunday morning a special sermon upon the subject, "Shall the Anglo-Saxon or Jesus Christ dominate the Armament Conference?" The preacher stated that he meant by the term "Anglo-Saxon," the so-called "white races" of the world and that "Jesus Christ" in his sermon stood for the ethical principles which He taught while on earth.

In keeping with the spirit of Milton Waldron, the pastor of the chu a special sermon upon the subject, "S Christ dominate the Armament Con that he meant by the term "Anglo races" of the world and that "Jesus C the ethical principles which He taught He announced for his text, the sixth verse of the fifty-eighth chapter of Isaiah, which reads as follows: "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?" The speaker said, in part: "The text is a splendid description of the work that the armament conference is called to do, for truly wickedness laid its hands upon the entire world in the war which has just closed. The nations of the earth were oppressed by taxation, carnage, disease and death and the yoke of oppression still galls the neck of every nation under the sun. It is the hope of every sane mind that the Armament Conference may send most of the implements of, war to the "scrap heap," disband the armies of the world and make war for conquest impossible in the future." "But if this bright hope," said he, "is to be realized it is necessary that the delegates composing the Armament Conference should clearly understand certain vital principles and keep these always in mind during their deliberations." Namely: First, "Whatsoever ye would that men (and nations) should do to you, do ye even so to them." Second, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." Third, "The profit of the earth is for all." "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase." Fourth "Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people." Fifth, "Rob not the poor because, he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted for the Lord will plead their cause and spoil the soul of those that spoil them." Sixth, "The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters; but God shall rebuke them and they shall flee afar off and shall be chased a the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind." The failure of the League of Nations to meet the approval of hundreds of millions of the world's inhabitants was not due to any inherent aversion on the part of these peoples to united action for the welfare of all. The league failed because the nations mistrusted each other—especially those known as the "Big Five"—and left Jesus Christ out of the question. According to the dispatches that filled the press of the world at the time of the Versailles Conference, not only did the league refuse to recognize in any formal or vital way the God of Heaven in its deliberations but the principles taught by Jesus Christ in the Sermon on the Mount, the Golden Rule, and in the "new commandment" of "Love ye one another" were ignored. No one who loves righteousness, justice and peace wants to see the Armament Conference miscarry but all who believe in the true God. and in the life and teaching of. His Son Jesus Christ, know that the coming Disarmament Conference is destined to certain disasater and sure defeat unless the voice of the God of nations and the commands of the Saviour of the world are heard and obeyed by the majority, at least, of the delegates of this conference. It appears already that each nation invited to the Armament Conference is anxious to secure the advantage, and is playing for first place at the council table. While this game of nations is progressing at Washington hundreds of millions of the world's children are asking with bated breath: "Who will dominate the Armament Conference—the Anglo-Saxon or Jesus Christ?" It is evident to all that one or the other of these persons must control the conference. "Which shall it be?" is the supreme question Anglo-Saxon rule stands for universal conquest and world subjugation, but such a career is always materialistic, grasping, exploitative, antagonistic, selfish, hateful and cruel. While Jesus Christ in human government stands for equality, righteousness, peace, good wil and brotherhood. Anglo-Saxon rule means the triumph of selfishness and force; while the rule of Jesus-Christ insures the domination of the Golden Rule and the new commandment of love to one's neighbor. All. should keep in mind the fact that in governments, as in families and churches, the weak rights that cannot be violated by the strong without endangering the whole fabric of human society and that the ears of the God of nations is open, especially to the cry of the oppressed and He always pleads the cause of the weak against the strong though He may hold back long the unified bolts of His wrath. For the last thousand years the Anglo-Saxon has been the direct or indirect cause of almost every international war that has cursed the earth; his path through the ages has been a track of blood and it is only fitting that this man of war who has opened the wounds in the side of the world so many times should seek through this Disarmament Conference to stanch the blood of the nations of the earth. But this effort, however laudable it may be will fail, as did the Versailles conference, unless justice, righteousness, good will, brotherly kindness and love dominate the Arms Conference. As we view the situation, the prospects for success in the coming conference are not bright. To begin with, only eight nations of the world are to participate in this conference and all of them are, "white" but two. And the entire eight governments are great commercial nations, or are to be used in developing commerce without regard to the material or political rights of the other nations of the earth. In short, it seems to be another "Triple Alliance" with the addition of five more nations—eight nations against fifty-six. Secondly, the Germans and their allies have been shut out of this conference entirely; while these nations may not have a navy now worth while speaking of, the ability to form such a fighting machine has not passed out of their hands and they have formidable standing armies. Are the Germans and their allies outside of the pale of nations? Does it inspire confidence in the Disarmament Conference when it is known that these great nations are to have no part in the effort to make war an impossibility in the future? There are more than 1,200 millions of the darker peoples in the earth. Less than 500 millions of these have representation in the Armament Conference. Is it just and right to exclude the other 800 millions? There are 350 million people in Africa and yet there is no one in the Conference on Disarmament who is charged with the duty of representing these oppressed and exploited people. The 350 millions of natives in India were ignored when the Armament Conference was called. Can the world expect any lasting good to come to it from an international body constituted and dominated as is the coming Armament Conference? Does it not appear to all that the Anglo-Saxon is going to again blast the hopes of the world? How long will it be before those who claim to be leaders in civilization and Christianity learn to be just and to work righteousness? ANACOSTIA NEWS. Miss Louise H.

To the Editor of The Bee. The President's speech at Birmingham, Ala., as of October 26th, is considered by the writer as that equal to the words which prefaced the laws of Rome, viz: "Justice is the Unchanging Everlasting Will, that Gives Each Man His Rights." Indeed, "there has another Solomon come to judgment." The very fact that the President went to the heart of the South to deliver his message bespeaks the man. Some say that it will not amount to anything. Let me tell those that there is one word that has called Nations to rise in righteous indignation and have compelled other Nations to respect their rights. If Peter the Hermit had not gone through Europe calling, calling everywhere for the Christians, to save the sepulcher of the Saviour from the Infidel Turks, would there have been the Crusades? The Crusades brought to benighted Europe, the arts, sciences, sculpture and classics of the east and light broke in and then the powers of God, assembled to raise man to a higher plane of existence. Had it not been for Patrick Henry how many people would have caught the fire of "Holy Sacrifice," to save the colonies from England? What of this: William Still, William Lloyd Garrison, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Dr. Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs. Francis E. W. Harper, Frederick Douglass, and scores of others who hurled forth to the world "His Truth is Marching On"? The President lives among the immortals of the earth for his speech and the following quotations will prove it. speech and the following quotations: "There is a beginning of a better understanding; and in the light of that better understanding, perhaps we shall be able to consider this problem together as a problem of all sections and of both To the Editor of The Bee: The President's speech at Birmingham is considered by the writer as that equacfaced the laws of Rome, viz: "Justice is Will, that Gives Each Man His Rights.

What of this: William S. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Dr. Henry E. W. Harper, Frederick Douglass, and forth to the world "His Truth is Man. The President lives among the speech and the following quotations: "There is a beginning of a better light of that better understanding, per sider this problem together as a prob f. operation the j. j. The question gamation," is the one which riles our people. Read between the lines and one will find that he says in no unmistakable terms that "the white men must let colored women alone!" Don't ask me where I got this information, but I can tell you truly that he is the first white man I ever read of or heard who would tell the Southern men of their meanness. In reference to the question of "social equality," it is something that I have never given a thought. Personally I have not the money to spare to associate with the transient patrons of the "Whitelaw." We ourselves, living in a certain section of most all our cities absolutely refuse to have anything to do with the denizens of certain other sections. And as for socializing with the ah—well there is a certain circle called "society," in all cities and if one cannot have a fine house, good job or profession, one cannot enter. The President is aware of "The Rising Tide of Color," and he is the man to warn his people to not have us as enemies, when "Ghenis Kan" comes out of the East. The President says "We must realize that our race problem here in the United States is only a phase of the race issue that, the whole world confronts." He also says "more and more it is becoming the problem of the North; more and more it is the problem of Africa, of South America, of the Pacific; of the South Seas of the world." We who think that the President is not a student of history, have but to read this and other excerpts from his speech. In speaking of the race standing on its own feet he says: "I would inoculate in it the wish to improve itself as a distinct race, with heredity, a set of traditions; and an array of aspirations, all its own!" When have we been better advised than this? The writer's poem "The History of Ethiopia in Rhyme," was written for this very reason. We must love our own and in all instances where we can by forming societies, for the mutual advancement we should do so. We need to know that the most the white man wants out of us today is something for his own good. When are we going to learn that we must of necessity build our own homes, at the hands of our own ma-sons. We need more colored archi- The President says: "These things lead one to hope, that we shall find an adjustment of relations between the two races, in which both can enjoy full citizenship, the full measure of usefulness to the country, and of opportunity for themselves, in which recognition and reward shall at last be distributed in proportion to individual desert, regardless of race or color." Well, how's that? He strikes at the K. K. K. when he makes the following statement: "Coming as Americans do from many origins of race, tradition, language, color, institutions, heredity, engaged as we are in the huge effort to work an honorable national destiny from so many different elements; the one thing we must sedulously avoid, is the development of group and class organizations in this country." Down with the Kluxers! Two thirds of the world is composed of colored people, like unto Japan, India, China, Arabia, Africa, and of the South Americas, and the Isles of the Sea. The President knows that "the little leaven" (India and Japan) is leavening the whole lump Some people in criticizing the President said that on race equality and amalgamation he played to the white race. Let's see if he did, and if so, why? Suppose for argument's sake we grant all the opposition asks? Granted! Worse abuse, than this was handed to Abraham Lincoln when he fought to save the Union and nothing else, while the Abolitionists wanted him to free the slaves. Mr. Lincoln knew positively that the question of freeing the slaves had not matured. He knew ultimately that the slaves would be free, for he spoke of a country, "half free and half slave." But it took time to arouse the consciences of the entire north. To quicker obtain this and to force the issues he offered to buy the slaves. Inasmuch as they were not for sale to him, and he had men in his cabinet who were unfavorable to him, he had to bide his time. Harding has licked the Hoke Smiths, the Wizard Simmons, the Tilghmans, the Vardamans and men of that type. Think ye who but a man of courage would attack these lions in their lairs? It took some time to build the Washington Monument, but when it was completed it was a thing of pleasure and usefulness as well as a token of esteem to one who had to fight on and on even at Valley Forge, for the liberty of you and I. The large oak from the small acorn grows, but it takes time aplenty to develop the "giant of the forest." Those who have said that they could not trust because the Southerners would not change their opinions at once, please digest the above argument. One person who objected to the President's speech, said that he was not sincere. How can anyone judge a man's motives? Was not Lincoln spoken of as insincere? Have not all persons who have succeeded, been accused of insincerity? America knew the President. She had confidence in him; and when we had been given over to Europe and that by accepting the treaty that we could no longer function as a Nation, it was Harding whom the country called to break our chains of European intrigue. Hail Harding! Champion of pure and undefiled Americanism! May God speed his work! IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC. Worsal presider at the Republic The chief of some quite popular manga Walter S.

"De Lawd don't nevah give His own no warnin", said Toussaint, thoughtfully. "He je do whent He gwine do an' don't say nothin'." Bank book in hand, he was thinking over the wonderful things that had happened to him in the past six months; and had already spent a week absorbing his latest pleasant shock, which had been a legacy. One Richard Wenthall, a rich old man whom Toussaint had never heard of, had been at the Sheba Theatre the night when Toussaint, trying desperately to act the part of Romeo, had turned it into the comic hit of the year. A victim of melancholia for twenty years, Richard Wenthall had laughed himself back into good spirits, and when he was killed in a train wreck some time afterward it was found that he had left Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown fifteen thousand dollars for making him laugh. "Wondah when de Lawd gwine stop doin' things fo' His own?" mused Toussaint. Suddenly some one knocked at his door, and hardly waiting his summons, Mrs. Thompson, his landlady, rushed in. "Oh, Mr. Brown, who do you think's downstirs waitin' to see you? Ulysses B. Catling!" "Yah?" said Toussaint, flattered, for Ulysses B. Catling was one of the biggest colored real estate men in Harlem. "I'll come right down." Ulysses B. Catling, big, brown, ponderous, with a heavy paunch, small eyes' and a baby skin, greeted Toussaint cordially as he came into the parlor. "Oh, Mr. Brown," he said, warmly shaking Toussaint's hand. "Congratulations on your legacy. I've read about it in the papers. It must be wonderful to have the golden touch." "De golden tech?" asked Toussaint. "Yes; take yourself, now. Everything your hand touches turns gold. I know from confidential sources that the Sheba Theatre was way behind when you went there; all the good people had stopped going. Look at it now—people turned away every day, tickets bought a week in advance, stockholders taking Turkish baths and ordering wine." Toussaint might be momentarily stunned by sudden shocks of good fortune, but he could, drink an ocean of flattery without batting an eye. "Ef you gits de right man," he said profoundly, "you kin turn de whole world upside down." "Certainly," said Catling. "And to tell you the truth, Mr. Brown, I'm just a wee bit superstitious about you; a little voice tells me that anybody who deals with you is sure to have good luck. Now it happens that I have a house which I'm willing to sell you at a sairifice, partly because I think you will bring me luck, which will more than offset my loss in the deal. I'm no more stuck on losing money than anybody else, but there are cases where it pays. Of course, I don't suppose you've ever dealt much in real estate; you men of genius are too busy with art to make money." "Oh, I dunno, I dunno," said Toussaint, airily flinging a leg over the arm of his chair, "we tek a little chance now and den." "Well, Mr. Brown, it's the best way to use your money, real estate is. In your business—excuse me—in your art, if you get sick your salary stops and you are penniless except for the small income of your insurance, if you have any, and when you get well you have to pay off the doctors. But rain or shine, sick or well, real estate keeps on paying you, producing a steady income without your lifting a hand. Nothing but an earthquake will wipe it out, and we've never had an earthquake in New York City, and maybe never will." "No, no." said Toussaint, assuredly, "de Lawd ain't gwine do nothin' lak dat. Whah dat house you gwine sell me an' lose money on?" "It is 857 Hamilton Avenue, over by the river. I own it outright; it's a five-story beauty, twenty-family, good tenants at twenty to twenty-five a month. It's always full, too, because people like the site on account of the river breezes. They're good for babies. The only trouble is that when a tenant moves out there's too many waiting to move in, and I can't please them all. People have offered me ten dollars just for a higher place on the waiting list." "Den how come you want to sell sich a house?" asked Toussaint, with a glimmer of caution. "An' at a loss, too?" "Well, said Catling, lowering his voice, "it's like this: I've been let in on one or two things down in Wall Street. Sorry I can't tell you what Colds Become Serious HILL'S CASCARA QUININE BROMINE Cures Within 24 Hours SAFEGUARD against La Grippe and its dangerous effects.

HILL COMPANY, DETROIT (100) they are; I'm under a pledge of secrecy. The owner of one of my houses is an old friend of mine, a broker in the Street, and he tipped me off. But, of course, it requires immediate cash. It means a whooping big profit for me, and that's why I can afford to lose a little on this house, which, by the way, is the jewel of all my investments, the very first house I owned in this city. So when I'm ready to sell a house like that you can see I have something big on hand." "Yes, I sees," said Toussaint, spellbound by the name of Wall Street. "Suppose we run over in my car and look at it. Two years ago, when I had no thought of Wall Street, I was offered a big price for it, but I laughed in the man's face. Even if you don't care to buy it it would be good publicity if I could say that Toussaint L'Ouverture Brown had looked it over and praised it." The flatterly fairly lifted Toussaint into his hat and coat, and he and Ulysses B. Catling went out of the house. The chauffeur held open the door of the car and bowed deeply as Toussaint reached the curb. "Kind of a good cyar youse got, Mistah Catlin'," said Toussaint, as they started. "Yes," said Catling, carelessly, "it does pretty well, but I'm about to get a new one. My wife wants a change." "Dis hyuh man talks 'bout cyarsjes same ez dey wuz neckties," said Toussaint to himself. Gliding and purring, the big yellow car rounded a corner and stopped before an apartment house of yellow brick with white facings. It was clean and fresh, every window had lace curtains, and the sills were red with geraniums. Six or seven baby carriages were lined up along the front, and on the door in gilt letters appeared the name of Branche Bruce. Toussaint stared silently; he felt like a man looking on a beautiful princess who has consented to marry him. "Blanche Bruce," said Catling. "Blanche—my Blanche Bruce." "She's some mo' house!" said Toussaint. 'Mr. Brown,' said Catling, impressively, "I hate to part with her. She's the cornerstone of all my good fortune. The rents of that house raised Ulysses B. Catling from a struggling youth to a man of big business. I part with her now only to enter the biggest field of all, and I want her left in good hands that will take care of her right. You'll understand me, won't you, Blanche?" Toussaint was moved to his heart to see a hard-headed business man love a brick house as if it were, a woman, and his imagination told him how urgent must be the reasons for letting it go. "I wish I had de money to buy huh," said Toussaint wistfully. "You can if you want to, Mr. Brown; there's nobody I'd rather see have her, since I must let her go. Why, I'd let you have her for forty-five thousand!" "Fo'ty fi' thousand!" gasped Toussaint. "How'n de name o' Gawd I gwine git hold o' all dat money!" "Oh, you don't need to have it all in cash; nobody does. You borrow it from a company with a mortgage; then you let the rents pay the interest and still yield you an income. Now, this is a twenty-family house; the average rent is twenty-three dollars a month, or four hundred and sixty dollars a month for the whole house. That is five thousand, five hundred and twenty a year. Subtract the interest, taxes, coal, repairs and janitor service and you'd still be three --- thousand to the good. Your agent's fee for collecting the rents——" "Toosaynte Lee Ovachoo Brown don't need no agent. I'd c'lect de rents myself; jes walk in evah munt and git de money." "So much the better," said Catling with a look of admiration. "I see you're a business genius as well as theatrical star. Most owners are too lazy to look after their houses; they need some one to do it for them. Now that you've seen Blanche—you know, Mr. Brown, she's so close to my heart that I can't speak of her as a mere house of brick and stone—suppose you lunch with me? We can talk better with some warm chicken and a cold bottle." Toussaint, reluctantly taking his eyes from the house, accepted the invitation. The car started and careened round a few corners, and soon the big Catling and the little Brown were sitting under the palms at Tannlieder's. The lunch, the cigars, the liquor, and, above all, the blandishing speech of Ulysses, captivated Toussaint. Before the lunch was over he had irrevocably promised to buy the Blanche Bruce for forty thousand dollars. *** "All that glitters is not gold."

The first step toward carrying into effect the decisions of the Conference of the Director and the District Managers of the United States Veterans' Bureau was taken in this district by the calling of a four-day conference of the staff and field chiefs of the Fourth District, which began on Monday in the Arlington Building at Washington. Manager Albert E. Haan of the Fourth District, who has just returned from the Convention of the American Legion at Kansas City, issued the call for the conference, which began at 10 o'clock Monday morning, November 7th, and concluded Thursday afternoon. The Fourth District of the Veterans' Bureau comprises the territory Beauty Aids for Dark Complexions If you want to be respected, admired and loved by everybody, see that you have a beautiful complexion, free of bumps and splotches, and that your hair is smooth and properly dressed.

Headquarters of the district are at Washington, where there is also a sub-district office. The eight other sub-district offices are located at Baltimore, Richmond, Norfolk, Roanoke, Charleston, Clarksburg, Wheeling and Bluefield. The forthcoming will be the first in this district since the reorganization and combining of the various governmental ex-service relief organizations under the Sweet Bill, which began late in the summer. It's purpose will be to pass along to the district chiefs and sub-district officers the decisions and interpretations of law reached at the recent national conference. Important among the propositions to be considered will be the new policy of vocational training, designed to rehabilitate the disabled ex-service men in a more satisfactory manner. Interpretations of the new Sweet Bill and problems of decentralization will be discussed. Questions of contact through sub-district offices with former service men will also be taken up and conditions in these offices and the relation of their personnel to the former service men will be gone into, principally as concerns the responsibility of bureau officers for a personal interest in these men. About three months have been spent by the new Veterans' Bureau in organizing the fourteen national regional districts and their sub-district offices and in conducting a nationwide "clean-up" campaign, resulting in thousands of new contacts throughout all fourteen districts. The Washington office is now practically on a self-functioning basis, handling its own old files as well as new ones, and this is the first opportunity the districts have had to take stock as to where they stand and what they have done. The program for the forthcoming conference as arranged calls for two daily sessions. There will be three officers present from each sub-district; the sub-district manager, the medical officer and the vocational training officer. In addition to the general meetings, each officer will have a personal interview during the four-day period with District Manager Haan, and with each of the division chiefs concerned with the particular work allotted to that officer.

The Dunbar song leaders of the Dunbar High School Community Center has released to the colored composers of America a chance to display whatever talent they have in the way of original compositions. Circular letters, containing full particulars, have been sent into nearly every State to the various music publishing houses and so thorough are the rules stated that no competitor will fail to know just what is expected. All manuscripts submitted are to be unpublished compositions and must reach the prize committee by January 1, 1922, carefully sealed so as to indicate to the judges that they are fresh from the hands of the authors. When this is done notices will be sent those who are listed as contestants that their compositions have been received and are being prepared for renditions during music week. The most competent judges will be selected and they will be in no way connected with the Dunbar Song Leaders Class. Manuscripts will become permanent property of the Song Leaders Class and will be placed in the Dunbar High School Library as the nucleus of a musical collection. The composer, however, reserves the right to publish his or her composition. Judges will base their opinion on the following points: Beauty of theme, technical skill employed in treatment of theme, value of composition to music in America. These are seventeen classes of compositions for which a prize of $25 is offered for the best in each class from the best choral composition down to the band composition that has the choicest technique. The committee on prizes are Mrs. Gregoria Frazer-Goins, chairman, 2019 Thirteenth Street Northwest; Mrs. Joseph Douglass, Misses Mary Europe, Edna Gordon and Marguerite Hall. The officers are Mrs. Gabriel Pelham, president; Mr. Wellington A. Adams, secretary, and Mr. Benjamin Washington, treasurer. The members are Misses Edith Chandler, Annie Duncan, Gladys D. Duncan. Marv Wormley and following accompanists complete the staff: Misses Edna Gordon, Mary Europe, Marguerite Hall, Virginia Williams and Batzir Chase, Mesdames Joseph Douglass, Gregoria Goins, L. H. Johnson and Lula Howe Robinson, Messrs. Russell Woveling and John Miles. * * * * Advanced French classes every Monday and Wednesday at 3:30 p. m. at the Dunbar.

Robt. F. Plummer, Prop. Accuracy—Service—Quality 3QI H St., corner Third St. N. W. Washington, D. C. Quinade is a medicated pomade, scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist. 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 nealer 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.

THE STAGE IS SET. = CU : The’stage is all set and in -réadiness for the Disarmament Con- ference. The most.important part to be played is the’ ypholding of justice to all mien. Who is-to take this-leading role? It belongs most fittingly to President Harding—he is the host and disinterested one. When the-curtain rises on Armistice morning. The Bee hopes that he of all others will take his. stand before the glare of the foot- lights of justice and right and Jet.the world- know in unmistakable language, as he did at Birmingham, the thing for which he stands, irrespective of what others may think-or'say. The Bee hopes that he will not.fall into the error made by President Wilson by letting the curtains. fall: between him and a liberal, anxious, waiting world. He.is‘our President and the host to the visiting guests; as such he is in the position to let the entire world know that he stands for noth- ing but what-is the best and highest relation.among races which is founded upon real justice. . When the world begins to realize this justice and accord to’ the one race what, it’ would have‘accorded to the other then’ will begin an era of “Peace upon earth and good will to’ men.” . ‘ ve . When foriner’ President Wilson went behind.the scenes in-the world’s conference to transact the business. which belonged to the world at large, he weakened himself of the strength of justice of his cause and brought down the wrath. of the world upon him. The Bee thinks if these pitfalls are avoided by the President in the Dis-- armament Conference that the nations of their own accord will voluntarily lay down their arms because there will-be no“need for them. 7 * THE WASHINGTON SCHOOL TEACHER. The Washingtori school teachers are thrifty and industrious. -They love their profession;.althotigh they are poorly.paid... They spend- much of their money and time after school and during the summer in attending schools and colleges for their professional’ im; provement. Turning the high lights upon this group of educators, The Bee thinks that even he’who runs can see that it ranks second to none in the country in every. particular. ; : i ge URGES COLORED AMERICAN SOLDIER AS palin (From the Evening Star.) To the Editor of the Star: . . It will be another evidence of thoughtlessness ‘on the part: of some if the “unknown hero” is buried and no colored’ American soldier takes part as pallbearer. By chance, this unknown may be acolored hero. The proportion of colored men used to. prosecute the late war certainly justifies a prominent position in connection with All the armor ‘of armiéd man jp the tumult’ and’ the’ garment: rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the gar- ment shall be upon his shoulder; anc His name shall be catled ‘Wonderful, Coiinsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Ofhe in. crease of His government and ot peace there shall ’be.no end. ot Isiah, '9:5-7. {Armistice day proceedings.” If the purpose of these events is to develop patriotism of the kind that makes men and women anxious to suffer privation and déath, then no such loyal group like the color- ed Americans should be made to, feel a purposeful slight. Colored |Americans did not fight to help maintain white supremacy, they shought they were fighting to make the.world safe for democracy, and without doubt they shall again be ready to fight to uphold equality of treatment’ and of opportunity,-the basic principles of democracy. Some such heroes as the boys of the Fifteenth New York or our own’Three Hundred and Seventy-Second heroés wear- ing the croix de guerre and distinguished service medals should be honored as'pallbearers on November 11. e § . EB. Henderson. . MAX YERGAN A Colored Secretary, supported Colored Y. M. C. A.’s and by individuals interested in the work, to establicsh Y. M. C. A. work in Africa. It’seems impossible. 3 3 Yet of that statement is Max Yrgan, the man selected to pioneer the work, and his war record which shows what can be done for. his own race. re . In December 1919, six. Americans and one englishman held an epdch-making con- ference in New York, and a decision was reached which is destined to write deep- ly a new_and significant chapter in missionary work. | Harking back to world war days, and consequent-wide-flung doors of oppor- tunity, the British National Council of the ¥. M .C .A. represented by the one Englishman, asked the-Foreign Division of‘th Y n New York to send out a man to establish Y Work in her colonies in Africa,, The six colored men at the conference asked, and a favorable decision was given’ that colored frends in the United States have the chief responsibility fir the pro- ject, and that future scretaries be recruitd- from he ranks of colord students. Thers was no decison, however, to be reached about who the firsa sécretary to Africa’ would be—every man at the meeting held the sam opinoi—Max Yergan. In‘South.Africa the association now hasan opportunity to supplement the work of the mission agencies: in their endeavors to carry th gospl to that country. - “Tf ever-a Mohammedan .conquedor like Tamer lane should appear again,” says one Y-secretary home from Africa on furlough, ‘a joliad or holy war would ovr-. whelm Chrstendom. “The onrush of Mohammedanism there. is a challenge to Christanity and the African, with his sense of humor, conception of justce and de- | yotion to trusted leadership, must be won for Christ... One Way in which this challenge may -be taken up is to send out’ well equipped American colored secre- tares to develop the educational’ and religious work begun by us during the war, and provide a mssionaty outlet for thie colored'church and for the Colored ¥ .M.- C. A.’s in this country. + : ~'Yergan @ Product of-North Carolina ; Being born down South in North Carolina seems to have suited Max Yergan, for he stuek.to Raleigh until he was through grade schol, high school and college. Shaw University, in Raleigh, gave him his diploma “with.honors” in 1914. : Some one once said that in looking for sccretaries. to man their foreign outposts, | the Y. M. C .A. always sought well trained, well balanced material; it would seem then, that in the case of Yergan, they got the very essence of an‘all aruond man. ; . ot Playirig on the Varsity cleven, as he did at Shaw, taught him team work, clean playing and fair fighting; managing the baseball nine gave him knowledge ofshand- men and affairs. 7 . . a + * To be.continued . 3 : Last Sundaygmorning a very enjoyable variation from the usual Sunday School exercise was a program in observance of Missionary and Centenary Sunday, under the leadership of Mr. Chas. P. Ford and Mr. A, W. Dangerfield: There was an address by Master Julius S. Car- roll, Jr., a recitation by Joseph Jenkins, papers by Miss F. Louise Madella and Miss Ela Wesley, vocal solos by Miss Roxie Williams and Miss Sarah Reeves, a violin solo by Mr. Graham and a se- lection, by the Sunday School Orchestra. Quite an outstanding feature of As- bury. Sunday School is the music furnish- ed by its young people. The’ orchestra is composed of Mr. rGaham, violinist; Messrs. Roy, and Frazier, clarinets; and Messrs. Jacobs‘and Chase, cornets. Al- though but recently organized, its work bids fair to be’a most valuable addition to the Sunday morning exercise. The first Sunday in eDcember they promise an extensive musical, program. The Junior Choir, under: the’ efficient leadership of Mr. C. Sumner Beale is also developing into a distitict’ asset to Asbury Sinday School. - = - POSE Our public generally will look forward withkeen interest to the work and results ‘of the tweentieth national conference called by the Colored eMn’s Departinent of the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tions-of: North America to be held at CincinnatieDeember'1 to 4, hTere is real need for this conference, not merely that it has been twelve years’ since. the Jastnational gathering under the auspices of the Colored Men's Department but becauseit is clearly the duty of our peo- ple to ally themselves .inevery possible way with all practicalefforts for world recover yand progress. | Increased emphasis is being. placed to- ‘day on thenecessity for solving racial problems, and this is a task to which all groups must apply’ their best ‘intelligence and ‘determination, in the truest’ spirit of coopertion..

Improved car service in the far Northeast section of the city is another of the civic matters that should be placed before the proper authorities for immediate action. Conditions along the Columbia line extending from Fifteenth and H Streets Northeast, going east to the junction in no respect measures up to the traffic. Cars old in type, irregular schedule and extreme insufficiency transportation facilities are some of the inconveniences the patrons of this road are forced to suffer. The Washington Railway and Electric Company exact a uniform rate for transportation privileges and to discriminate against one section in the way of service so as to give superior, service to another under rates very seriously the rule of justice. Now and then new cars are added to the system and each time are assigned to uptown lines. Why the discrimination? Can't some one explain? Mr. James O. Holmes of 611 Fortyninth Street Northeast, was indisposed a few days last week. * * * Attorney H. L. Alston of Ashville, N. C., is the guest of Mr. Harris, 5207 Grant Street Northeast, Lincoln, D. C. The Northeast Boundary Citizens' Association met at the Burrville public school Friday night of last week and had an unusually spirited meeting. Considerable discussion was invoked upon the refusal of the Federation of White Citizens' Associations, to permit colored associations to affiliate in the drive. Several spoke on the question. Mr. John Paynter-made quite a stirring speech on the issue and urged the association to stand on its dignity. Lawyers Fontville of Fairmont Heights, Md., and L. H. Alston of Asheville, N. C., were the guests of the evening and made a few choice remarks. Near the close Mr. John Paynter was elected delegate to the Civic Alliance to serve with the other two.

The Sunday school was out in fine shape and manifested the utmost interest in the lesson before them. The superintendent, Mr.J. B. Dillard, was very much at home with the review and stressed with much force the main points taught. At the 11 o'clock service Rev. G. house was started last Saturday with Mr. William Carpenter in charge. With another day's work the walk will be completed, which will greatly improve the appearance of the school. W. Brent, the pastor, occupied the pulpit and took as his text "But Let a Man Examie Himself and so Let Him Eat of that Bread and Drink of that Cup." Dr. Brent spoke on self examiation and impressed the fact upon his members that their first duty was to the church. The doctor's discourse was powerful and those present took it in with startling amazement. Appropriate musical selections were rendered by the choir. * * * WANZER: In sad but loving remembrance of my loving sister, Alberta Wanzer, who departed this life three years ago, November 9, 1918. Calls not from out the gloomy earth, the lovely one again. And now, when comes the calm mild day In the cold moist earth she was laid, When the forest cast the leaf, And I wept that she so lovely Should not have life so brief. To us there comes a memory Of a love that is seldom met, When we think of our dear Alberta, Whom we shall never forget. The social club of the Burrville community center held its first gathering Friday night a week at the Burrville public school. There were a great many out, including several visitors from the city. The object of the club is to produce a good, sound, strong social feeling in the community and make living more democratic. Music was furnished by a well known local orchestra. Refreshments—banquet style—were served at convenient intervals. Mrs. Knox is secretary and has charge of the center. FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. Mrs. Laura Tarver left last week for Atlanta, Ga., where she will remain for the winter season. Autumn leaves, shocks of corn fodder and brilliant colored crepe paper were the decorations used by the "Jolly Six" at the residence of Miss Alberta Fitzhugh Hallow'een night when they entertained their friends with music and games. The young ladies were attired in fancy dress which lent an added charm to the beautiful decorations. Several out of town guests were included among the number.

The Clothes Line entertainment held at the school house last Thursday evening, was well attended and the sum of $8 was cleared. All arrangements are about complete for "Women's Day," which will be held at the M. E. Church Sunday, November 20. From all indications the program will be as excellent as it was last year, as no pains are being spared to make it so. Mr. Henry Stylas, who was recently operated upon at Freedman's Hospital, is thought to be slowly improving. The stockholders of the Colored Fair Association met in Vienna last Saturday to perfect a permanent organization. Prior to the business part of the meeting a report of the last fair was given, which was encouraging in every way. The report showed a net profit of twelve hundred dollars after all expenses were paid. Those who had held offices as incorporators were elected to occupy the first five places of the twenty-seven directors, after which twenty-two other directors were elected. Annual Meeting of N. A. A.

High School Regiment Organizes With Additional Company—Spirit of Friendly Rivalry Predomi- Final touches were put upon the High School Cadet organization of the Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth Divisions a few days ago, when official announcement was made that officers for the ensuing year had been appointed. Definite plans concerning other matters effecting the regular routine were also completed and made known. No department of the school system has a firmer hold upon the polite graces of the public than this one, and it is frankly admitted that at the beginning of each school session the popular ear lies close to the ground to catch whatever information there is that might appeal to the lighter fancies of those who deal in such speculation. This year eleven companies answer the roll call and Major Milton Dean, head drill master, boasts the fact that a finer specimen of youth cannot be duplicated. Major Dean, every inch a soldier and a moulder of men, backs up his contention with cold logic. Much time and energy are spent every season by the various companies, preparing for the annual competitive drill, usually scheduled for the later part of each May. The occasion is heralded as one of the grandest events of the whole school term and entire Washington looks forward to that day with peevish anxiety, the result of pent up friendly rivalry, manifested by adherents of the different companies, battling for the much coveted trophy. Found in most every walk of life—both at home and abroad—are splendid evidences of what the Washington cadet body is capable of turning out and the encouraging possibilities noted seem to indicate the very best future citizenship can offer.

W. ```markdown ``` Edging up through the past with a magnificently earned record, the present successful condition in which this remarkable military contingent finds itself is, in a large measure, due to that little band of seriously determined young men, who met in the armory of the old M. Street High School—over twenty years ago—and organized what was known as the first endet company. cader company. Col. Arthur Brooks, then captain, was the military instructor and the extraordinary control he exercised over the boys laid the foundation for the highly progressive military establishment its our pleasure now to enjoy. It appears some mark of esteem should be shown this able soldier, not as a matter of choice, but as a conservative estimate of the respect and good will still existing in the hearts of those whose duty it was to follow.

Dixon and G. Jones acting as secretaries. The association is rapidly growing in membership and finances since it has been functioning. Much business was transacted by the association. Short talks were made by Mrs. M. Smith, Mrs. A Dean, vice presidents; Mrs. Cunningham, Mrs. Marie Smith, Mrs. Frazier and Mrs. Emma Tolson. WANTED FOR COLORED MOTION PICTURES Miss E. A.

Do your share and stand back of our girls and women. It is quite amusing to listen to some of the arguments about social equality. I had the pleasure of listening to the opinions of two of our prominent divines last week. The first divine stated that what we want is social equality along all lines; that is, the privilege of going anywhere money will admit, riding in anything that is ridable, in fact, doing anything that is permitted of others. He cites that the Chinaman can go anywhere, that he can buy a parlor car ticket to any place in the United States. The second divine stated that there is no such thing as social equality; that there is no social equality even in our own race; that Mr. "A" would not think of entering Mr. "B'S" house, because they are not socially equal, no more than he would marry a woman of the opposite race. Both of these views are worth considering. The question in my mind is is there really any such thing as social equality after all. What we want really is equality as is suffered to be guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. If the Constitution were enforced there would be no dissatisfaction. The celebration of Halloween may be all right, but some of our people carry it too far. Some of us look bad enough just for meanness, and when we make ourselves look worse then we become a laughing stock for others. Some of the most disgusting customers could be seen on You Street and at Convention Hall, and the other places of amusement. Masquerading is all right, but for the Lord's sake let us learn to mask properly. I wondered between "mask" and "mash" what would become of us. I stopped in the garden conducted by Harry Beckley one evening last week. It was my first visit to the place, and I really was most agreeably surprised. The place is really a place to feel proud of. There was no disorderly conduct, and the service was all that could be expected. I hope he will continue to prosper. Well, some of our dance promoters are always starting something. A dance was promoted for Armistice night at a hall located on E Street between 9th and 10th Streets. While there is no objection to securing places where there is accommodation for all, it is truly hoped that should the place continue to operate for colored Americans that those who patronize it will conduct themselves in such a way that it won't require the services of the entire First Precinct and cause the place to be called "Razor Hall No. 2." Remember Coliseum, at 9th and Pennsylvania, as "Razor Hall No. 1?" Why not appoint more colored Americans on the police force? They could be no worse than some of the members of the other race appointed. Look at the record, six members before the trial board in one week for committing crimes which our men would never think of doing. The day will soon be here when patience will cease to be a virtue. The Wrong Use of the Word "Tight" As I was strolling down First Street the other morning, in the bright sunlight of the declining days of beautiful October, and near the shadow of Dunbar High School, I saw before me a group of pupils who attend that school, engaged in a lively debate. A nearer approach revealed the fact that the subject of dispute was the new principal of Dunbar. One of the group had said that the principal was "tight." The others had jumped to the defensive to prove that he is not "tiglit." A thoughtful girl in the group had drawn from the speaker the meaning of her expression "tight," which she explained by quoting an expression made by the principal, "I do not intend to have any disorder nor loafing in or about Dunbar High School." "And he doesn't have it, either!" If this isn't 'tight,' then I do not know the meaning of the word. The thoughtful girl said "'tight' in school circles is applied to people who are mean. Our principal is simply performing his duty. This he has to do to keep his job. Would you say a teacher is mean who does what he is being compensated for? That is his duty." The former pupil of the group saw her error, admitted her mistake and happily disappeared with the group into the building. At the southeast window of Dunbar I caught a glimpse of my old friend, Mr. Wetherless, who beckoned for me to come in. As I entered the building I saw the vast throng of pupils moving silently and orderly to their various class rooms. It was indeed a beautiful sight. Wonderful! I said my myself. When I reflected and recalled the fact that I saw not a single pupil loitering on the outside after the hour of opening, a well known expression came to me, "If you want the truth you can get it from fools and children." After a pleasant chat with Mr. W. in his laboratory, where I found efficient and up-to-date work in progress, I visited in a quiet way the different class rooms of the institution, where I saw all of the faculty at their best. With well planned lessons they were so enthused in what they were doing that I succeeded in evading their observation for a while. After extendind hearty congratulations to the principal on his great success in so short a period of time, I departed hastily about noon for Graves' Cafe, on Que Street, where I was desirous of taking my lunch. POTOMAC DISTRICT RALLY, TURNER MEMORIAL A. M. E. CHURCH. (Continued From Last Week.) If one will note in The Bee as of October 1st; 1921, last page, column three; paragraph eight, of "An Open Letter," over the signature of the writer, will be found these words: "But what we need, and need badly, is your sympathy, publicly expressed, and your unreserved moral influence; give us this and we will fight our own battles." The constant talk throughout the Conference that the Bishop had not been consulted as to the purchasing of Turner, was the things of things that took all the fighting spirit out of the writer. Being sad, he met Dr. Turner on Druid Hill Avenue, and told him that he (the writer) was going to connect himself with Metropolitan the next Sunday morning. When I returned to the Conference, the first person I accosted was our presiding elder. He seemed to have "the light of Hope" in his face. He told me that he would still help Turner, and other things of interest to the church which were for my ears alone. I then sought the pastor and told him that I would stay until the P. E. He in that dark hour of Turner's existence "smiled it through," and the writer decided to stick to Turner a while longer. His fighting spirit being again aroused; and after luncheon, he, in the presence of the pastor and other divines, consulted three of the Conference Trustees. After, explaining the situation from the inside, which they could not have heard before, save through the writer's "articles of defense" in The Bee, and telling them that we were only asking for "the moral support of the Bishop, Conference and Conference Trustees;" they promised us they would get into immediate communication with the other Trustees and Bishop. His reverence sends the message as quoted above, from Dr. Tanner, "Forward, Turner!" At 6:30 p. m. the Allen League exercises were conducted by the Evening Class of the Theological Department, Howard University, of which Rev M. J. Key, as noted in Brown's Church News of the 29th, is the president, and spoke on the subject, "How the Golden Rule Should Apply to Our Daily Life." Rev L. S. Wormley, D. D., pastor of the Third Baptist Church, spoke, as is his wont, on "How Can We Apply the Golden Rule Today." It is simply needless to say that Dr. Wormley took the League by storm. Thank you, doctor. Come again! Mr. P. J. Jernagin spoke on "The Golden Rule in Business." Mr. Arthur. Breese, "The Golden Rule Among Friends." Other members who rendered noble services were Messrs. A. B. Fisher, C. B. Harris and Leon Wormley. Space, will not allow an individual comment on the speakers, but suffice it to say that all of them were well delivered, and showed thought, study, mental application and a desire to train for public service. We repeat right here that all of you are always entirely welcome to our services at any and all times. The Court of Caklanthan, Ladies' Red Cross, Drill Corps, K. of P. and part of the Uniformed Rank, K. of P. worshipped with us Sunday night The ladies in their white dress suits for drilling, topped by white visored caps trimmed with green, made a striking appearance, and was an optical demonstration of the "Women's New Freedom." And the lady officers? In their scheme of red and white badges, galore, "Sam Brown" belts—well, what man of the race would not be proud of our women? The speeches delivered by the officers and members present tended toward constructiveness, good living, noble woman- YOUNG MOTHERS! Staunton, Va.—"During my first expectancy my back used to ache terribly and I had so much trouble with my bladder that I was in misery all the time, especially at night. My appetite also failed me." These conditions, distressed me for a month or two when I remembered that I had always heard Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription spoken of very highly. This tonic did help me at once and in a very few weeks I was in a perfectly normal condition. "The next time I did not take the 'Prescription,' and for three months I was at times almost unable to do my housework, and my baby was very small and delicate. I feel I could have had a healthy baby from the first if I had taken the 'Prescription' for my first child was as healthy as anyone could expect. Only those who have suffered, and especially young mothers, can appreciate what a wonderful medicine Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is."—Mrs. Blanche Daggy, 720 Burwell Ave. You should obtain this Prescription of Dr. Pierce's now at your druggist, in tablets or liquid. hood and motherhood, virtue, defenders of the weak, and, in fact, every imaginable subject that a group of fingly educated and well cutured ladies would discuss. It would take a volume to quote the speeches and to do them justice, so the writer closes by paying this tribute to them that "they acquitted themselves nobly, and, indeed, wrought well." The officers are as follows: Sister J. M. Layton, Past Supreme Deputy Counsellor; Captain Louise Holmes, Past Grand Worthy Counsellor; Inspector, Elizabeth McKnight, First Lieutenant; Sister Sadie Walker, Second Lieutenant; Sister Julia Sweetly, Past Secretary. The Knights were represented by Brother H. H. Garnett, No. 1, Washington; Capt. James E. Combastor, Lieut. William Owens, Sgegeant Jarrett H. Jackson and Past Grand Chancellor Brother William Smith, in whose honor the orders came. In closing the orders bubbled over with praise for the splendid discourse delivered by the pastor, portraying the lives and devotion of Damon and Pythias. The writer himself considered that the pastor "did himself proud." And why should he not, seeing how the Baltimore Conference is rushing to his side? Turner closed her rally in a blaze of glory, and he trusts that in the future she will, for getting the things that are behind press forward to the mark of his higher calling, which is in Chris Jesus. J. LUTHER MARTIN. ROBERT CRAIN BACKS HARDING'S VIEW ON COLORED AMERICAN. Maryland Democratic Leader Believes in Political Equality for Colored Citizens. President Harding's Birmingham speech on the political future of the colored race in America was given the unreserved indorsement of Robert Crane, prominent Maryland and Washington lawyer, and one of the foremost Democratic factors in the State. Incidentally, Crain is the largest landowner in Maryland, his Charles county estate embracing more than 15,000 acres. He is one of the largest employers of colored labor in the State, but neither his personal relationship to the colored American nor his prominence as a Democrat has prevented him from approving the President's utterances in behalf of political equality for the colored American. Not for Social Equality. In this connection Crain criticized the United States Supreme Court for the attitude of that body toward colored American franchise. Crain in his statement said: "While I am opposed to many of Mr. Harding's political policies, I strongly indorse his speech delivered in Birmingham. "President Harding, be it remembered, made it perfectly plain that the colored American should never think of social equality. That puts an end to what has been considered in the South a troublesome question. "In one word, the rest of the President's speech means that the colored American should be treated as a human being in the making of laws and in construing them. For more than forty years I have watched the colored American learn the lesson that the Republican was his savior. There was no truth in this lesson, but I have wished to live to see the colored American convinced that his rights are protected alike by all political parties. "The Constitution was made for all people and all States of the Union and any construction or any failure to construe the Constitution as giving the colored American the right to vote in New York while denying him the same right in Georgia is a --- 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. palpable fraud. The day may arrive when the people of New York may attempt to prevent the Polish Jew from voting, and the people of Massachusetts may attempt to prevent Italians from voting. If that time does come the Supreme Court of the United States may have to do a jazz dance in its consideration of the question. "Thoughtful people view with great concern any decision of the Supreme Court which seems to be tainted with politics or policies, and there is a strong current of opinion sweeping over the land that the old Constitutions of the United States and the laws enacted thereunder be the sole guide of the Supreme Court in reaching its conclusions. Also, there is a conviction that the reasons assigned by the Supreme Court be so plain that all people should have a sacred regard for all that tribunal's decisions. "Politics and policies should be as far removed from the Supreme Court as Heaven is from hell. The decisions of that court should treat the colored American in Georgia and the colored American in New York alike, and the court ought not to sidestep any question that involves the right of franchise or any other manifest right of the American people." FALSE RUMORS EXPLODED. Efforts to Hurt One of Nashville's Big Business Houses Fail. (Special to The Bee.) Nashville, Tenn., November 10.—False rumors and false reports with regard to one of the largest colored American institutions in the United Stases have been circulated for the purpose of injuring said institution. This was not detected until this week, when a number of letters were sent here to Dr. R. H. Boyd, the secretary and founder of the National Baptist Publishing Board, owned and controlled by colored Americans. One of the rumors set afloat was to the effect that the plant had been closed and was not able to produce literature. Another rumor was that Dr. Boyd had become mentally deranged, and still another that the plant had gone into liquidation. Members of the board were seen this week, and they explained that all this had been circulated merely because of certain denominational differences. An investigation reveals the fact that the plant, which is located here at the corner of Second Avenue and Locust Street, has done an increased business each year of its existence, and even, the last report, that was read before the National Baptist Convention at New Orleans, La. by Dr. Boyd himself, who spoke for one hour and a half before more than three thousand interested hearers, showed that an increase of more than ten thousand dollars in business, with a circulation increase of over one hundred thousand in literature, had been made for the year just closed. Dr. Boyd was given a big ovation. When he was seen this week about the false reports, he declared that he The Grammar School The Academy The School of Arts and Sciences The Department of Music ial Service THINGS THAT NEED By GENE BY GETTING A LAUGH OUT OF THE CROWD AFTER TELLING A STORY ABOUT A FORD CAR GEE WI YOU'RE A FUNNY Copyright.

As Athens, in the time of Paul, paid tribute to the "Unknown God," so today the world pays tribute to the "Unknown Soldier." For an immortal testimony in appreciation of life's greatest sacrifice, the world pauses to honor the American dead. Selected by impressive systematic elimination, and with great precaution, lest the identity be revealed, the body of this soldier now receiving such marked attention, is merely symbolic of the great spirit of America. The President of the United States, and all the high officials of our government, and the high officials of all other governments now represented in the land of Columbia, will pay tribute to the "Unknown Soldier." In the respect of foreign participation, the event is timed most auspiciously. The World Conference on Limitation of Armament opens the same day. Stalwart statesmen and diplomats from the world's greatest centers of civilization are present to pay homage. Never in the history of our nation has there been such an event. It may never happen again. The horrors of war, costing 20,000,000 lives in the recent conflict, have so shocked the soul of mankind, that even now, the greatest thinkers and humanitarians of the day say with President Harding: "This must never be again." Great America has a soul. When it is stirred to action, in peace or war, the world gives attention. America knows how to choose the "better part." The history of the nation is rich in decisions of righteousness. There is inspiration in the valor of American patriots and statesmen. It is to be hoped that Armistice Day, November 11, 1921, will mark a new birth of national consciousness.

Clark Taylor, Deputy Register of Wills for the District of Columbia, Clerk of the Probate Court. W. C. Martin, Attorney. the marked tribute to the "Unknown Soldier" becomes a sham and a mockery. If, on the other hand, there is a soul awakening, a decision to do right because it is right, and not because it is expedient; if there is born the consciousness of the national life a thought that the World Conference on Limitation of Armament, must also be a World Conference in Limitation of Prejudice, then will we get somewhere. The "Unknown Soldier"—nono know his identity. He may be a product of conservative New England, or the Sunny South, or the "hail fellow well met" Middle West or the offspring of the sturdy pioneer of the far Golden West. Who knows, who knows? The "Unknown Soldier" may be more, he may be "Colored," but withal, and best, he is American. So, the heart beats of 15,000,000 colored Americans will be quickened by the solemn tribute to the departed; the 400,000 brave boys of the race will wonder whether or not he may be one of their "buddies." Thoughts of the ingratitude of some Americans will flash through our minds on this occasion, but we will thank God, after all, that we, too, are Americans." Common sense, thrift, pride in ourselves and love for humanity will turn the trick. DOUGLAS HOUSE REPAIR C.J.

BALLOU TO REMAN; OFFICIALS PLEASED Dr. Simon Says Superintendent's Decision to Stay Will Aid Capital Schools. Vote Cast for Washington Officer. Incident Emphasizes Need for Higher Salary Here, Claim. Officials of the District schools did not disguise their satisfaction when it became known yesterday that Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of District schools, had not pressed his candidacy for the superintendency of the Boston schools, and that Jeremiah E. Burke, senior assistant superintendent, had been elected Boston superintendent, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Frank V. Thompson. "I am happy for Washington's sake," was the comment of Dr. Abram Simon, president of the board of education, who declared it was "for the best interests of the educational system of Washington" that Dr. Ballou will remain here. Voted for Dr. Ballou. Dr. Simon expressed the hope that "Congress will strengthen his hand," in referring to the achievement of Superintendent Ballou in initiating the building program during the last year. It became known here yesterday that Superintendent Ballou was seriously considered for the Boston post, and that his selection would have been especially pleasing to the Boston school personnel. On the first and only ballot taken by the Boston board of education, Dr. Ballou received one of the five votes cast, although he had made it known that he was not a candidate for the position. Would Increase Salary. District school officials took occasion yesterday to stress the need for increasing salaries in the schools here, pointing to the great discrepancy between the salaries paid superintendents in the Washington and Boston schools, which pay $10,000 a year, as compared with $6,000 here. As other administrative positions in the local school system are similarly underpaid, they emphasized the difficulty which the Washington school system faces in retaining capable executives for a great length of time.
