The Bee the sweetest kind comes to your side whose whom it stings, prosper all of you! To the pastors of the District of Columbia, Honored Divines and Brethren: The Saviour when He was leaving this earth to sit in heaven as your advocate said: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." St. Luke, 16:15. He also says: "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Matthew, 28:20. Herein, warriors for God, is your commission and though sometimes the way may be steep, we wish you to know that heavenly forces are ever on your side and that the material forces of The Bee stand with you. Your cause is our cause; your fight is our fight, and as the leaders of our spiritual life, we, on this Thanksgiving Day pledge you our undivided support. We hold that the overpowering majority of the "men of the cloth," are good morally, true to their homes. God, the race, the community and their vocations. The exceptions prove the rule. I have told you and if it were not so how could these thousands of churches stand in spite of persecution, disruptions, deception and all other things that come from the regions below to retard her progress? The majority of the "Teachers of the word of God" are men "after God's own heart." This being the case, The Bee pledges its columns to adjust differences in churches when they get too hard for the oppressed pastor and to stand shoulder to shoulder with him to "fight the battle of the Lord." This does not mean that The Bee would take sides with a minister if he was in the wrong—which is very seldom. The Bee makes thorough inestigation and hears both sides of the question before it attempts to defend anyone. When the staff has been satisfied that the minister is being or his opponents are trying to crush him then we fly to the rescue. If you don't believe this pastor fights, try it and after that you will be "seen and not heard." We wish the pastors to know that the columns of The Bee are at their disposal and if you have grievances which you cannot settle, let us know and we will come to your rescue and after having made a thorough investigation so as to do absolute justice to all concerned, and we find that you are in the right—which, of course, you would be, we would make your cause our cause and fight until you win. The policy of The Bee is to be absolutely impartial and we will not "offend the least of these my little ones," not even to save anyone when he or she is in the wrong. The Bee desires at all times to give nothing but honey of the sweetest kind, but ministers of the District when The Bee comes to your side and takes up your cause and fights for you those whom it stings will know that it has one May God bless and prosper all of you! The Bee places itself squarely and fairly alongside of the Assistant Superintendent and all his co-workers in the cause of the children, which is your cause. We as parents assume that the cause of the children is also ours, and we feel that we can place explicit confidence in each and every one of you, and on Thanksgiving we pledge to you our most potent support, unreservedly! May God bless all of you! To the Honorable Warren G. Do the Honorable Warren G. Harding, President of the United States of America. On this Thanksgiving Day we felicitate you.

XLII NO. 27 The Washington Bee you helped, and in this thank article the writer wishes to personally thank your most excellent secretary, the Honorable George B. Christian, Ja., for his kind sympathy and interest in the letters of the writer which passed through his hands. The Washington Bee extends Thanksgiving greetings to both of you! Mr. President, when the "Conference for the Limitation of Armaments and the Far Eastern Question" shall have adjourned, and you have had a good and sufficient rest and ready for another effort for the peace of the world, may I not suggest that your most potent influence be thrown on the side of the oppressed and exploited peoples throughout the world? The curtailment of the navies will in a great measure bring peace to the white race. But, sir, there are thousands and thousands of colored people throughout the world who are suffering under the "yoke of oppression" of these very powers who are now calling the "dove of peace," and whose representatives are now in Washington, and the powers feel that God gave them the "Divine Right" to hold in abject poverty the colored subjects whose land they take in all parts of the world. The motto is in this respect "Might is Right." If the dominant powers went to the fertile and productive lands and raised the natives from ignorance and barbarism to the light of civilization, the cotored thinkers of the world would not be so bitter, and we would be glad to have known that the civilization of which they are so wont to boast, lifts up the weak, ignorant and oppressed of the world. Usually their plan of civiliz WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY DECEMBER 3, 1921 "Nay, nay , Virgin," said Joe Grimes. "And I'm not speaking of women in general. The same woman has ruined those four fellows." "One woman?" said the Virgin, whose real name was Christopher Bowling, "You're crazy. No woman can ruin four men. I'm ony one man, and no woman alive could take me away from my work." "Not even Trixie Marley?" asked Joe. "Who's Trixie Marley?" asked the Virgin.

One cannot civilize a man after he is dead, "God still lives," and we, though oppressed, the world over, do not hold malice against our oppressors. We cry for freedom, and this is not malice. We feel in the same position in which the Irish find themselves, and we rejoice that the East Indians are throwing off the yoke of England. May I call to your august remembrance that the so-called rebellion in India is simply an exemplification of the oppressed the world over? We did not forget the things the Belgiums did to the Africans, but when she was being crushed by the waves of soldiers from Germany "Our Boys" went into the breech, and when the last shot was fired on November 11th, 1918, the colored troops were on German soil standing in the forefront before Metz. It was the Turcos who filled the breech at the battle of the Marne. In conclusion, Mr. President, may I ask you that at the opportune time will you not call the attention of the nations to the fact that they ought to do at least half as much as the United States is doing for the American Indians, from whom they took their land? Congratulating you on your past achievements, which are incomparable, we close with these lines, which you have seen before: "May God bless them, o'er and o'er, Forward in the name of God!" "Till we meet on Canaan's shore"— Forward in the name of God!" (The Poem Continued.) N. A. A. C. P. SECRETARY TESTIFIES ON HAITI. Testifying before the committee of Senators who are investigating the American seizure of the black republic of Haiti, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, attributed much of the trouble in Haiti to color prejudice on the part of American Marines and office holders sent down there under the Wilson administration. Mr. Johnson, whose series of articles in the New York Nation, entitled "Self-Determining Haiti" attracted wide attention and helped to make Haiti an issue in the last presidential campaign, testified in Washington on Tuesday, November 15. Prejudice and small-calibre Americans had been sent down to Haiti, said Mr. Johnson, creating friction with the natives by reason of the color prejudice they brought with them, which had never before exited in Haiti. Nor had the Americans made any improvements on the island; Mr. Johnson continued, except roads which had been built by enslaving Haitians. While in Haiti, Mr. Johnson had heard all the current stories about the atrocities attributed to United States Marines, he said, some of these stories being told to him by officers of the Marine Corps. Greetings THE ARMAMENT CONFERENCE IV. By Herbert, J. Seligmann. (This is the fourth of a series of the Negro Faces America," who is now a National Association for the Advance. Someone has said that there are one world, and that every one of the twenty is only a variation of one of the. This has its parallel at the Arlington. The scene of struggle has China and Siberia, but the drama remarkets and for undeveloped regions materials are plentiful.

This is almost exact Islands with regard to the territories under the title of "British Empire." Japan differs not a bit from Great (This is the fourth of a series of articles by the author of "The Negro Faces America," who is now director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) Someone has said that there are only nine original stories in the world, and that every one of the thousands of stories published yearly is only a variation of one of the nine originals. This has its parallel at the Armament Conference in Washington. The scene of struggle has shifted to the Far East, to China and Siberia, but the drama remains the same; a scramble for markets and for undeveloped regions where labor is cheap and raw materials are plentiful. It only proves that the source of much of the world's difficulty is economic; that is to say, slovenly housekeeping. Japan becomes the hero or the villain of the drama, according to the point of view. The drama is unchanged. Japan's position is similar to Great Britain's, when Japan insists that her population is larger than her islands can support, that she therefore needs colonies or "spheres of influence" like Manchuria, Korea and Shantung to supply her with food and material; and that she needs a navy to insure open communications for her with those regions on the mainland. This is almost exactly the position of the British Islands with regard to the territories all over the world grouped under the title of "British Empire." Britain in her excuse for wanting a navy. Nor does Japan differ a bit from the Germany of or before the war in saying her population has grown too dense and needs foreign territory to expand. In. Nor does Japan differ from France in demanding "security." That the skin color of the Japanese is "yellow" has nothing to do with the case. The problems of empire do not vary according to skin pigmentation. When statesmen sit down to "do business," skin color fades as an issue. Skin color becomes an issue when some one can abet a mob in making trouble over it, as dishonest newspapers do in the South and on our Pacific coast. And it would therefore be a grave mistake for colored Americans to look upon Japan's course as heroic, right or wrong, merely because the Japanese are not white. The Japanese government's course is to be judged exactly as the course of white governments is judged. For the Japanese government has been as reprehensible a sinner against that other yellow-skinnee people, the Chinese, and against the Koreans, as any white government. It remains to be seen, in Japan fully as much as in our own country and in England, France and Italy, whether the people can force peace and small navies on the governing group, or whether steel and battle-ship makers, together with bankers and diplomats, can force large navies and armies on the people, with the inevitable consequence: war and death. For if peace is to come and remain, it will be because the peoples of the world make their diplomats afraid to endanger that peace. It will be because Americans, Japanese, French, and English force the hands of their servants in Washington, teach them that diplomats were made to obey Joe Grimes.

Only nine original stories in the thousands of stories published on the nine originals. Government Conference in Wash.-has shifted to the Far East, to remains the same; a scramble for jobs where labor is cheap and raw of much of the world's difficulty by housekeeping. The villain of the drama, according to unchanged. Japan's position is Japan insists that her population support, that she therefore needs like Manchuria, Korea and Shan-na material; and that she needs a means for her with those regions on exactly the position of the Britisharies all over the world grouped and that the voice they must hearken to is the voice of the people. And the people want peace. If they want it bad enough they will get it and pay for it, and no price will be as heavy as the price of war. Meanwhile, Japan has been used as an agent in bringing on the downfall of Europe. Her influence and her armies have been used in that great game played by the Allies, and chiefly France, to strangle the present Russian government. Japan has been a powerful source of opposition to the Far Eastern Republic, which is closely allied to the Russian Soviet government. Having seen that game played in Europe; and having seen the European governments gobbling up China, in the interest of their bankers, the Japanese government naturally was impelled to try the game also. Japan accordingly gobbled up Korea and Manchuria, and took the opportunity provided by the world war to seize Kiao-Chao and thoroughly penetrate the Chinese province of Shan-Tung. If the European powers are going to keep parts of China for the use of their bankers, there is no reason why Japan should not do the same. In fact, her "security" would demand her doing so. It can only be done with a navy. And navies mean war. The obvious alternative is to take China out of the hands of bankers and to put her on her feet in the East; to do the same for Russia and Germany in the West, whereupon there ought to be enough raw materials and enough trade for everybody without the need of first killing millions of men, women and children, and wasting the raw materials and destroying the markets in which the trade is to take place. If the world war taught us anything it is that mankind is one; that men will have to work together and that no people can be driven into famine like the Russians, into bankruptcy like the Germans, into spoilation like the Chinese, without endangering the future of all human kind. For the victors always will quarrel over the spoils. There must be no spoils. If every European power which has forced China to make concessions to its bankers washes its hands of those bankers, Japan will be unable to do otherwise. The Japanese government can no more defy the opinion of mankind than any other government can. But governments, being usually composed of small groups of men, either owing their office to, or being in close touch with the bankers and other business men in whose behalf wars are fought, are not likely to wash their hands of those bankers. The men now assembled in Washington will not do so unless the voice of the people is heard unmistakably. And there is no way for the voice of the people to be heard except through the newspapers, which, for the most part, are in the control of those very governing groups. Every thinking colored American knows how the facts about lynchings and race riots have been distorted in the white press of the United States. Similar distortion went on about international affairs before the world war, during the world war, and it continues now that the war is over. But it is a legitimate hope at least, even if it is not an expectation, that public feeling throughout the world, against war and the instruments of war, may override the newspapers, the diplomats and the governing cliques of moneyed men. Already the pressure of public opinion in the United States is intense. Without knowing exactly how to get it, or what to do with all the shipbuilders and sailors who will be thrown out of work, people want navies scrapped. That is a feeling which overrides race and race prejudice. For people are beginning to realize that race prejudice is merely another instrument, in the hands of demagogues and venal journalists, for continuing the rule of war on this planet.

Ward, choirmaster, recently rendered "The Message Eternal," with instrumental accompaniment. They have a splendid organist in the person of Mr. Edward M. Syphax, whose playing has added greatly to the efforts of Prof. Ward and his singers. William J. Carrol, another Washington boy, has signed up with Dabney's Orchestra in the Ziegfeld circuit. Mr. Carroll has the position of first violinist and associate conductor to Ford Dabney. The appearance of Miss Marion Anderson, soprano, of Philadelphia, Pa., with the Amphion Glee Club at their musicale the latter part of December, at the Dunbar School Auditorium, is creating much interest amongst local musical circles. Prof. J. Henry Lewis is whipping his club into tip-top shape for its anniversary. Washingtonians have not forgotten these two clever violinists., namely, Miss Lola Johnson and Miss Marie James. It is to be hoped that during the concert season here we may hear them in concert. Sorry we had to lose Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, whose home is now in New York City. Howard Theater's return to vaudeville introduces many new song hits and fine choruses. The orchestra is also strengthened by the addition of Mr. Bernard Booth, a fine performer on the double bass violin. At the meeting held on Sunday at the Y. W. C. A. Building, 9th and Rhode Island Avenue Northwest, in the interest of their $20,000 drive. Frank Johnson, the local tenor, was encored three times. He is booked for several concerts in the near future. At the recent Metropolitan Music Festival Miss Florence Brooks showed to great advantage as an accompanist to the selection "Because," by Hardelot, sung by Dr. C. Sumner Wormley. We predict a bright future for the young pianist. ::THE FORUM:: WHEN THEY FALL OUT. By William Pickens of the Associated Negro Press.. The Senator from Georgia, Tom Watson, is fighting to prove his assertions that American officers in’ the Great War hung soldiers without justice or authority and. raped women. "As to, the treat- ment of the men, the colored ex-service men can give him more damaging information about thaf, than can any other class of the overseas forces. “And now is the time'to.do it, Colored Men. Send the news along to Tom.Watson. "It makes no difference if he is from Georgia, he is in.a fight. And when a man is, battling for his life he will grab and usé any weapon which bystanders throw to-him. And you. have the dope, Colored Sufferers of -American Military Tyranny—so pass it along to Tom in-a hurry. When they fall out—! Now you can get your dues. We have noticed that when Mr. Watson cites charges to prove that the privates got hellish treatment from their officers, hé gives mostly a list of “Negro soldiers”: Two or three years ago, when these soldiers and their friends were trying’ to establish the fact that they were treated even without ‘such justice as the savage laws of war, may offer, nobody heard them, not even Tom Watson. Now Tom will hear, not because he loves colored soldiers but because he is in a fight. And now you should supply him with the information whether you love him or not,.for it matters not through what source the truth arrives, it is ‘just as true. When they fall out—! So ae Somebody ought to tell. Mr.’ Watson how colored soldiers were convicted for “rape,” when they were not shot by the M.

UNSELFISH LEADERSHIP: eDicin tia New Week AeEY -There was never greater need for a devoted and unselfish. lead- ership of the race’than there is today. The time has passed when the race can only ‘be recognized through one ‘man, who embodies in himself the béginning and the end of racial aim$ and aspirations. The need is‘for an enlighteried leadership that can express and ‘n- terpret the aims.and aspirations of the- people back of him and who can open the pathway for. their upward and onward :progress. The individual who works only. for himself_in the position of leader will lose out inthe end, because he will gradually’ bit surely alienate and lose his following when ‘they find- that he leads but to serve his own ends. While ‘it is hard to elimiriaté the ego from a strong personality that rises to leadership,-such, a ‘personality may become so imbued with the nature of his task as to regatd it as the means of bringing the greatest good to the greatest number. ‘The individual who succeeds in achieving the post of leadership in a race or in a community must justify his rise to that position’ by his works, otherwise he cannot long maintain‘it. Leadership among Negroes has not always fallen to the fittest, but- more often to the longest and loudest of speech. This kind of leadership, asa rule, does not get anywhere, beyond gaining a portion of the loaves and fishes for its possessor. The péople are tired of it. They want a constructive leadership: that gets things accomplislied that’ mean something for the general good. * ; + -The leader of,the future must put self-seeking arid purely per- sonal gain to-one side. This does not mean’ that he will not ‘be ‘rewarded for his efforts, but those efforts must be exerted. for other than. merely’ personal ends. He must ever keep foremost the-aims and aspiratioris: of the. peoplé whom he represents. He must Jose no opportunity. to further these aims, even if at-times it may. work to his personal disadvantage. “He must divest himself. of the very. human quality of selfishness and self-seeking and subordinate his individual ambition to the-general good. By.so doing he wilf exert a greater power aid influence than the man bent only on sérving himself. “His reward will come in the'consciousness of a duty well'doné and the gratitude of the people whom he has served. . “TOOSAYNTE LEE OVACHOO - BROWN.” Toussaint in Wall Street (Continued).

HER PEOPLE. - ‘It is a well known fact that Mrs. Christina Briggs is and has been the pioneer community worker of Dean- wood ever since the community work of that locality began. She is by right of her’superior work done there for the uplifht.of humanity and by the consent of the. masses, the only real leader which Deanwood has, or that the masses care to have. She has stood like a stone wall against: all kinds of wrong, and has’ instituted many’ valuable and noteworthy re- forms in her home town. “These facts ate conceded, by both her large fol- lowing of friends and the few ene- mies that she, like all human beings, must have, either more or less. Like all true reformers, she, too, must meet with rebuffs. Christ had "His—he was crucified, Luther had his. But these enemies let their jealousy. tise so high that they sought to revenge Miss Briggs for her noble work, by striking at her through’ the susceptible mind of her chauffeur, who was an easy victim to” prey- upon. Lawyer Clifton Robb has certified statements, in his possession stating that Miss Briggs’ assailant is not responsible for, nor does he favor the statements that he made concerning Miss Briggs to appease “the faction led by the would-be female leader of Deanwood, ‘who is temporarily unfit to lead her- self, and keeps the erstwhile peaceful community: in a state of unrest. The aim of these community spoil- ers has not been accomplished. Miss Brees is ‘stronger in the commitity now than ever. Her upright, woman- ly déportment and cleat, record have inspired in the community an unshak- en confidence that time cannot efface.

We should be grateful that though the honored founder and former editor of The Bee has outrun us and reached "Canaan's happy land" ahead of us, yet he has left to us as a heritage unpurchable, the "fruits of his labors," The Washington Bee. We who learned to love him for his frankness, boldness, fearlessness and untaunted champion of the weak and oppressed, do on this day renew our vow to ever keep burning the "light of knowledge," which he through prayers, tears, hardships, misunderstandings, abuse, and wars on unrighteousness, vouchsafed for us. We pledge to keep in sweet remembrance the beautiful character of the late founder and editor of The Bee, and as ye "our own dear departed" look down on us from "the celestial skies," we beeseech that thy "mantle may fall on us," and in the name of Almighty God we'll never betray our trust nor cease the conflict until we as thee, shall fall. And when our time comes we trust that we as thee wilt meet the call of the angel, with our pens in our hands and that we will be doing our duties. In us they spirit still lives! To the homemakers of Washington and the District: To you who are doing the will of God in making all earthly sacrifices to rear your boys and girls in the "purity of holiness," and who hope for their coming to the age of maturity, as noble men and women as ye yourself are, The Bee on this day pledges to you it shall consider your cause its cause. We pledge to stand on guard at the threshold of every home of the race in the District, and when the wolves of this or any other race seek to devour your children we pledge to come to your rescue; and as in the past we shall not count the cost, but shall lay our all on the "altar of the home" and shall never cease night nor day until the despoilers are driven from the District. We want you to repose confidence in us and trust $2,000 1,000 .600 .200 LET US HAVE PEACE. Lord God of Love, let us have peace; From war's vain sacrifice give us release.

She will take her place at the head of her club, the Pastor's Guild, of which she is the organizer and president. Her friends are delighted over her return. Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, who served in her place while she was absent, is to be commended for her efficient service: She kept the little folks together, and was able to do much good work, with the splendid co-operation which was given her by this progressive club. This club is one of the bright stars of the Zion Baptist Church. It is responsive in providing many comforts for the worthy pastor, Rev. Ugene Brodus. The new addition to the Deanwood School is in progress. This sight has thrilled the hearts of the conscientious Deanwood citizens who have worked so hard to bring about the desired improvements. Mr. William Patterson, who has the most up-to-date barber shop in Deanwood, has purchased his shop and the adjoining building, which he has fitted out as a confectionery store. ```markdown ``` THE WEEKLY NEWS MRS. CHRISTINA MOODY BRIGGS Chorus: Mr. Patterson is one of Deanwood's most progressive citizens. He was nominated for president of the Citizens 'Association at the last meeting; but refused the honor. He stands high in literary circles, and is the organizer of the Gentlemen's Literary Club of Deanwood.

Please accept my sincere regrets for the unpleasant affair of November 6, 1921. If there are any statements made which would reflect against your moral standing, I want the public to know they are false and unfounded. I am awfully sorry for the anxiety which it has caused you, especially the misunderstanding this has brought about. I shall be glad to render any service I can to right the great wrong which has been done you, for I know you are worthy of all respect from all people. District of Columbia, City of Washington. Thomas H. Bell, being first duly sworn, deposes and says that in order to bring out the falsity of the slanderous rumors which have circulated through Deanwood and the District of Columbia, attacking the moral character of Mrs. Christina Moody Briggs, the Deanwood Community Secretary, and having been formerly employed by Mrs. Briggs as driver, he makes the following statement: That he has no personal knowledge of any improper conduct on the part of Mrs. Christina M. Briggs; that he believes the slanderous propaganda which is being carried on against the Deanwood Community Secretary is both unjust and without foundation; that he believes he would be able to verify the same if opportunity presented itself; that he has been acquainted with Mrs. Christina Moody Briggs for one year and nine months, and knows her to be a moral and ```markdown ``` --- *** Christmas Spirit Ablaze in Different Centers-Musical Clubs Organized.

Philadelphia, Pa.—Before nearly ten thousand or more spectators in the National League Park, Philadelphia, Pa., Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1921, the Howard machine. MARKET PHARMACY BROADWAY CITY CENTER Cor. 7th and P Sts. N. W. Washington, D. C H. Lewisson, Phar. D. S. Gerber, B. S. in Chem., Proprietors. Two Registered Pharmacists Aways on Duty.

On a field which was a veritable sea of mud, the two teams plowed ankle deep through the miry sub-soil under a continuous downpour of rain in the struggle to win the season's closing football event. The victory, which went to Lincoln, was secured in the last period, when Captain Law pulled a forward pass out of the air and ran down the field for twenty-five yards to the goal line. The Lincoln triumph was unexpected and came as a surprise both to the Howard and Lincoln followers. Howard had all along been the favorite. Even after Lincoln had made a touchdown in the first quarter, which was closely followed by a touchdown and a goal by Howard in the second quarter, every one felt sure that the "Blue and White" would easily remain victorious. Rabbles Defy Weather in Display of School Spirit. The ending of the first half was the cue for "rabble" exhibitions. The rabbles of both schools pounced upon the field in spite of its mad-soaked condition and the continuous rain. The "Blue and White" rabble, headed by its band, executed a wild snake dance, while the Lincoln horde did its serpentine dance. The weather forbade society exhibitions. The rain and slough kept the ladies in their seats, prohibiting the fur coat parade of last year. The fact that Lincoln had scored was a complete surprise to everybody. Even the Lincolnites were, wild with delight over the fact that their team had succeeded in making the first soore which had been registered against Howard this year, despite the fact that the "Blue and White" was a point ahead. When the second half opened they looked upon victory as something wished for, but scarcely expected. Howardites became elated when, during the second quarter the familiar face of "Cute" Carter, quarter back of last year's team, appeared on the field. The Howard section gave forth a roaring cheer upon the sight of Carter. Captain Law Scores Winning Touchdown. The fourth and last quarter opened with the ball in Howard's possession. The pigskin went over to Lincoln when an attempted pass down failed. After a few play, Lincoln staged the game when Parr received as though he intended to and tossed it twenty yards clear to the place where Captain Law had reached by racing away to the left into the open. The ball fell into Law's outstretched hands, and he speedily ran down the field for twenty-five yards to the goal line for a touchdown, cleverly cluding every Howard man. McLean kicked goal, bringing Lincoln into the lead by six points. WOMAN, 115. SUCCUMBS. Bridgeburg, Ontario, November 28.

GLENDALE, DEANWOOD AND BURRVILLE NEWS. Issued From The Bee News Bureau. By Herbert E. Wilson. The accident at Brooks Station Thursday night, in which Mrs. Georgianna. Paris was fatally injured, resulting later in her death at the Casualty Hospital, calls for greater caution on the part of employees operat- ing trains of the W. B. and A. running from the District Line to 15th and H Streets Northeast. Too often these trains go at a greater speed than they should while passing the suburban stations en route to the heart of the city, and tis a wonder that more accidents do not happen. Utmost care must be exercised. Neither should the responsibility be a one-sided affair. Equally is it important for the passengers to do their part and be strictly observant as to the safety rules, "Stop! Look! Listen!" **** Miss Inez Hallman, 546 48th Street Northeast, who spent the holidays at Barnesville, Md., has returned to the city and has resumed studies at the Dunbar.

PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. My friend Sylvester L. McLaurin, of Mississippi fame, still continues to win victories. His most recent victory was that of a suit against a life insurance company. When the day arrived for the trial, at first the company, thinking that Mr. McLaurin was not ready, wanted immediate trial; but later, when it was found that Mr. McLaurin was ready, a postponement was asked, but this was not agreed to. Then the company, through its attorney, asked Mr. McLauring for a conference, which was finally agreed to. The outcome of the conference was that the company agreed to pay the entire amount that had been sued for. This is only another instance of how the white insurance companies attempt to work their bluff. Every one is anxiously awaiting the opening of Mr. Byars' new theatres. The one of Seventh Street is rapidly nearing completion, and the progress of the one on You Street is continuing, unhampered. The Lincoln Theatre promises to be the most beautiful and the best arranged theatre in the city for colored Americans. Rufus G. is already listing road shows, and plans to do everything that will please the theatre-loving public. I made a visit to Justh's Old Stand last week merely to look over the stock and see just what was what, as I had heard so much about the place. Really, I was surprised to see the things which Mr. Justh has on hand. Some of the articles are just as good as any which are found at our large furnishing stores. This condition applies both to the store at 616 D and 619 D. Pay the place a visit and you will be surprised at what you see. Well, the Armament Conference is in session, and has somewhat agreed to "scrap" a large portion of the navy. I am wondering if the representatives of this democratic (?) government will take under consideration the restoring of some portions of the Constitution of the United States which evidently have been "scrapped." Why is it that a certain Ministers' Association would go on record as opposing Sunday funerals, especially those of secret organizations? Why is it that these ministers would desire compensation to preach funerals? Even the ministry is being commercialized. Why do not these ministers oppose sermons being preached to societies on Sunday night? No, of course not, because they know that there will always be a remuneration for them. Take the secret societies from the church on Sunday.evenings and there will be no congregation worth while. The trouble with the ministry of today is that the majority believe in the text, "Almighty dollar be with me, I pray." John William Smith, a lawyer, having office in the Havenmeyer Building. No. 26 Cortland Street, and living at No. 145 West 138th Street, who was elected alderman in the Twenty-first District, Harlem, is believed by his friends to be the only colored American ever elected to public office on the Democratic ticket in the United States. The district lies between 136th and 114th Street, east and west. The territory now included in it had been nominally Republican for years, the Republicans usually carrying it by about 2,000 when it was the old twenty-sixth Aldermanic District, formerly the Twenty-third Assembly District, of which Moses McKee was Republican leader. Smith, who has practiced law here for twenty years, but never has held office, was nominated by the Democratic party against George W. Harris, a colored American and a Republican, the present incumbent, and Frank Poree, Socialist. He won by 105 plurality. In explanation of his record-breaking election, Mr. Smith said: The colored people have awakened to the fact that politics is no longer a religion, but a business. They are are awake to the fact that they should support men and issues and not parties. The colored Americans of New York do not associate Southern Democracy with Northern Democracy. nor Lily White Southern Republicanism with Northern Republicanism. They realize intimate local questions like, five-cent fares, housing and rent legislation, sanitary conditions and police protection concern them more than national issues. Another contributing factor was the attitude of the National Administration excluding the colored American from active participation in politics in the South." MARSHAL FOCK'S VISIT TO BALTIMORE. When Marshal Foch visits the city of Baltimore as a guest of the American Legion and to receive the degree of doctor of laws from Johns Hopkins University, he will be presented with the keys of the city by Mayor Broening. The keys will be a silver key about six inches long, much after the fashion of the old colonial key or heavy jailer's key, and it will be manufactured by wounded men who saw service with the American Army in France under the Marshal. The key of the city is being manufactured by the fifteen men in training in "The Buddy's Jewelry Shop" of the United States Veterans' Bureau Vocational School, at 203 West Franklin Street, Baltimore, under the instruction of Miss Alice Wilson, the trainer in manufacturing jewelry. When presented to the Marshal it will rest upon a pillow of greyish green plush, now being made by Mrs. Frederick, mother of one of the boys in the jewelry class. The boys in, the jewelry class are government trainees from various points in Maryland, and their key will represent the sentiment of the entire state, as well as the city of Baltimore. FOCH GIVEN MEDAL SCHOOL PUPILS. 1,500 Washington Children Pledge Funds to Build Two Schools in France. School children of America, represented by 1,500 pupils of Washington's public schools, added their tribute to the nation-wide homage that has been paid Marshal Foch when they presented to the allied commander a gold medal and a pledge to send to France funds for the construction of two schools for French children. Gen. Pershing, Ambassador Jusserand, District Superintendent of Schools Ballou and other officials witnessed the presentation, which was made at the base of the Lafayette monument, in Lafayette Park shortly after 10:30 o'clock. Each public school of the District was represented at the ceremonial by ten or more pupils. High school cadet officers in uniform formed a guard of honor around the monument, which was draped, with the colors of France. A second line of honor was formed by school girls, each of whom held an American flag. Marshal Praises Gift. Marshal Foch, upon receiving the medal, which was presented by J. M. Halsted, president of the French restoration fund, expressed appreciation not only of the honor conferred upon him, but of the desire of the school children of America to help the school children of France. No finer gift could be made, he declared, than one contributing to the rebuilding of the schools of France. The marshal's speech was interpreted by Ambassador Jusserand. After he had concluded, the military leader shook hands with the cadet officers and the school girls who formed the honor guards around the monument. Officials of the French restoration fund said they expected to be able to present Marshal Foch with a check for $250,000 for the construction of the proposed schools in France before he sails for home on December 14. This money is now being raised in schools through the country and in Alaska. It is proposed to name one of the schools the Washington-Lafayette and the other the Foch-Pershing. Medal Weighs 1 1-3 Pounds. The medal given to Marshal Foch is a solid gold one, weighing one and one-third pounds. It is engraved on one side with the shields of France and the United States and on the other with a map of the United States. VETERANS' BUREAU TO OPEN OFFICE IN CUMBERLAND.

Forbes, director of the Veterans' Bureau, to effectually define the former service men and cut-red centralize the work being done for tape. The office will function through the fourth district of the Veteran's Bureau, of which Albert E. Haan is manager, and which includes the states of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland and the District of Columbia. This district, in turn, is directly responsible to the central office of the Veterans' Bureau in Washington. Since the passage of the Sweet bill last summer the agencies formerly dealing with the ex-service men have been merged into the Veterans' Bureau under Col. Forbes. Director Forbes has divided the country into fourteen district territories, which are functioning on a decentralized basis and in turn are divided into a number of sub-district territories. MARCUS GARVEY CABLES TO November 22, 1921. Marcus Carvey, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, representing colored Americans throughout the world, world, sent the following cable to His Holiness, Pope Benedict XV, at the Vatican, Rome, today: On behalf of the scattered and most abused children of Africa, numbering four hundred million, I send you greetings. Just at this time when the powerful nations of the world, through their statesmen, are assembled at Washington, through the good services for humanity, of America's most democratic and liberal-minded President, the colored races of the world desire to draw to your attention the many injustices practised against them. Four hundred millions of us are being continuously outraged in the lands of our domicile; and in Africa, our Motherland, we are being exploited and robbed of our country. As human beings, we cry universally to Heaven for help and protection. Being men, we ourselves feel that what others have done to win liberty we may also do; but the colored race do not believe in bloodshed, hence we look upon the Disarmament Conference now assembled in the United States of America with great hope; nevertheless, we realize that there is an absence among a large number of the human race of that larger humanity which should be the guiding principle of nations and races, and which will prevent the stronger groups in the great human family granting to the weaker ones their rights. We believe the time has come for a true settlement of our human problems; that the white, yellow and black races of the world should get together and adjust their racial differences. No one race should transgress the bounds of the other. The principle of Asia for the Asiatics, Europe for the Europeans, Africa for the Africans should be respected and practised by all races and nations. For the bringing together therefore of the righteous who believe in the eternal principle of justice to all mankind, we ask that as an assistance to the effort now being made at Washington by the nations, that your Holiness in conjunction with all the religious and racial leaders of the world, call a conference of the "Bigger Brotherhood of Humanity," to include all races, creeds and religions, and there and then lay out a program by which we shall have a lasting peace. This appeal is made to your Holiness as the greatest religious leader of our time, and as Vicar of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on earth. We feel that your Holiness shall consider all humanity, Christian, --- 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. PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Feeling sure that your Holiness will act immediately for the salvation of the World and of Humanity. I have the honor to be, your Holiness' obedient servant; MARCUS GARVEY. President General Universal Negro Improvement Association, and First Provisional President of Africa. TO PROF. GARNET C. WILKINSON, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, WASHINGTON,.D. C. Worthy Professor: The Washington Bee bows in thankfulness for your having been appointed to a position which is among the most responsible in the United States, namely, the care and training of children. The Bee has watched with inexpressible satisfaction your phenomenal rise from a teacher in M Street High School to the exalted position which you now occupy. The Bee knows you, honors, esteems and respects you, knowing that you as you state in your own words, viz.: "The interest and welfare of the child is to be the central thought of my administration," and "since the school exists for the child, I will seek efficient teachers, better school buildings and up-to-date equipments." The Bee has explicit confidence in you. The very fact that the City of Washington rejoices that you have been placed in the position where you can exercise more petently your ever-present desire to save the child, we feel that Washington will back you in this effort to a man, and the powerful organizations that have stood for the moral purity of the schools will throw their mighty influence towards your success. That you are going to guard our children from the fanatics who would throw them into the arms of Moloch, we will sustain your every effort in this direction. The passage of Moloch which we shall quote is Leviticus. 20:2, which reads as follows. * * * "Whosoever be he of the children of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Moloch; he shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones." The writer shall call to the remembrance of the readers of this article that "Molech or Moloch was the god of the Phonicians and the Ammonites. The people would bring their children and put them into his enormous outstretched arms. The children would fall through them into the fire which raged within him. To drown the cries of torture of these children the worshippers would beat drums, shout and make all manner of noise. But "God still lives," and in His own good time He called forth a man unto whom He gave the commandment as stated above. You have been called as a defender of our children, and as The Bee has always had explicit confidence in you, we desire to tell America that we are with you in your effort.

Papa, who is an experiment on the amount of brains that can be discollected in a given space of "Evolution" or "Relativity," told me in all Disarmament: Confidence, that he never saw so much brain—in so space as of time. He told me not to tell, and as I have never did it, I won't tell you. He said that brains "is, am, was, were or are," I disremember which he used, for he is a Quituate of the Poly-Teck-Nick-Nack Institutionality, and what he does not know would fill all the books that are now in vogue. Papa told me in secret conference that brains is or am the extract of the essence of vitimine-tality.

He said "NIX," which is Esperantore-your-hat for "yes." He said that he had a job there speecherfying on the prospects of the beating the Germans into plowshares and the Chinese into pruning-hucks, and so consumentler and accordiner to the Circumstancer, he had no further need for the brains no more. That's just the faze Papa used, "no more." Papa said that he was right in his house—premises, think Papa called it, for said he, that neither Minnie-he-he, nor Higher Water, had any use for brains, no more. Papa knows! Good night, on this beautiful morning! LUTHERETTA MARTIN. MANASSAS INDUSTRIAL WINS FROM MOZART CLUB, 14 TO 0. Captain William Lewis Leads Manassas "Panthers" in a Clean, Thrilling, Well Played Contest. Manassas, Va., November 19.—In one of the most scientific and thrilling contests that was ever staged on Manassas Field, the Manassas Industrial School football team swept the Mozard A. C. of Alexandria, Va., up down the field, winning by the score of 14 to 0. The game was filled with spectacular playing; and in the first quarter Marvin Moore, left end for Manassas, threw the rooters into a frenzy when he caught a punt and raced sixty yards for a touchdown. Capt. Lewis kicked goal. Soon afterwards the first quarter ended. During the second quarter most of the playing was in Mozart's territory. They had previously displayed an intricate line shift which slightly puzzled the Manassas team. But the Green and White line had solved this formation, and now they presented an "airtight" defense. Although the Manassas "Panthers" carried the ball to their opponents three-yard line, neverless the visitors took a decided brace and held them for downs. In this quarter the most unusual feature occurred, when Prince L. Edwoods, coach for Manassas, because of injuries to Marvin Williams, full back, sent in William Waddell, a fourteen-year-old boy, to play quarter back. Captain William Lewis was shifted to right half back. Waddell handled the team like a veteran. When the whistle blew for the end of the first half Manassas had the ball on Mozart's five-yard line. The second half opened with William Lewis, captain of Manassas, again kicking off to Mozart A. C. As on other occasions, he kicked to the opponents fifteen-yard line. Majors, their full back, immediately punted the ball back to the "Panthers" forty-yard line. Then the Industrial School boys used a fake formation criss-cross, which enabled McDaniels, left half back, to circle the end for forty yards in a most spectacular play. It was so pleasing to the Manassas rooters that they went wild with enthusiasm; they sang, cheered and "snake-danced" on the side lines. But their opponents took a most decided brace and held them for downs with only six inches to gain. Mozaart threw a long forward pass for the first down. In quick succession some short gains were made on varied line and end plays until the Athletic Club had placed the pigskin on the middle of the field. Here the Green and White line held and the ball went over. Capt. Lewis of Manassas made a twenty-yard quarterback run around the end and fumbled when tackled. Another march up the field was begun by the Alexandrian aggregation, which was again stopped. Next, Capt. Lewis used a fake forward pass, which allowed him to fairly fly behind perfect interference for forty yards on an end run. The third quarter was over and the goals were changed. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, "Cash" Fields, right half back for Manassas; ran around Mozaart's right end with a terrific burst of speed and with fine interference guarding him, he placed the pigskin over their goal for the second and last touchdown. Capt. Lewis kicked goal. During the remainder of the period, all of the play was carried to the up on in the visitor. It is impossible to appreciate the superiority which the Manassas team exhibited over its opponents. Their goal was never in danger, and their line was extremely difficult to penetrate. On forward passes, Cornelius Tyler, right end, raised the crowd to its feet on more than one occasion when he would elude his opponents and grasp almost impossible opportunities. Besides the dexterity of the entire team to handle "passes," the line was generally invulnerable, and the back field, although considerably undersize, was as rapid as "chained "lightning." Last week Manassas defeated the supposedly strong Jefferson School team of Charlottesville, Va., by a score of 73 to"0. JOHN T. STEWART Main 1124 Washington, D. C. LEGAL’ NOTICE. 'W..C..
