COL. SHERRILL
North Carolinean's Attempt To Extend Segregation Here is Cause
In a strong plea to the President, the Civic Center of Affiliated Associations went on record as being against the continuance of Col. Sherill, of North Carolina (a Harding appointee in charge of public parks and grounds) in office. The Association's position was set forth in a letter addressed to President Harding last week.
The letter, which was sent by Mr. W. D. Nixon, president and Mr. H. E. Barnett, secretary is as follows:
April 30, 1923
To the President of the United States, The White House, Washington, D. C.
As the responsible head and director of the policies of this great Republic, we appeal to you to right the wrong that is being perpetrated, under the shadow of the Executive Mansion, against the colored people of every state of the Union. The public parks and grounds provided by the Government for the recreation of the American people are either closed against the colored race or our group is segregated to a designated section or day, thereby Jim Crowing us—in order to enable us to play golf, lawn tennis and other health-giving activities established by the Government for all the citizens. This un-American, humiliating and detestable prejudice in the capital of the Nation on Government grounds is most reprehensible in a free country.
Twelve million colored American citizens look to you and confidently expect you to right the wrong and to declare officially the use of the parks as free alike to all Americans. Lieutenant-Colonel Sherrill, in charge of Public Buildings and Grounds is directly responsible for the present unsatisfactory condition as evidenced in the discrimination at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial; the placing of discriminatory signs in the National Rock Creek Park; the persistent endeavor to locate a colored bathing-beach on the Virginia side of the Potomac River and inserting in the War Department estimates, an item for a separate park for colored people which he urged before the Senate Committee on Hearing, and other racial discriminations under the dome of the Capitol. He has done more to incense hostilities, foster race hatred and create contempt for law and order than the combined efforts of Emma Goldman and the Reds to spread disloyalty among the masses.
In order to halt this wide-spread dissatisfaction, we ask you as the head of the Government to wipe out this intolerable practice of race-segregation so that foreign Nations may not continue to point the finger of scorn at our Government.
We feel, Mr. President, that for the good of our country and the peace and good-will of over twelve millions of colored citizens that Colonel Sherrill should be removed from his present position, and we hereby request that

Hon. A. G. Froe, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, and S. H. Dudley to Assist Ben n. Taylor Open Baseball Season
The official opening of the baseball season here by The Washington Potomacs under the management of Ben Taylor next Thursday afternoon at the American League Park on Georgia Ave., will be one of the most brilliant affairs in the history of Washington. A grand street parade composed of seventy-five automobiles filled with loyal fans and well wishers will parade through the principal sections of the city and wind up at the American League Park. The parade headed by a big brass band, will form at Third and M Sts., S. W., and parade to Pennsylvania Ave., thence to Executive Ave., pass the Treasury and White House up Pennsylvania Ave., to Washington Circle, thence north on New Hampshire Ave. to T Street, and east on T Street to Sixth and then to the ball park.
After arriving at the park, the big program will begin. Mr. S. H. Dudley, well-known sportsman and theatrical magnate, will officially introduce the "Potomacs" to the Washington public. This will be followed with a presentation of a horseshoe of roses to Manager Ben Taylor by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University.
With this much of the program over and with everything in readiness for the game, Hon. A. G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia and former member of the West Virginia State Legislature, will toss out the first ball and the main event of the day will then be on.
Manager Taylor is giving Washington its first real professional team and the fans of the capital have evidenced much interest in his efforts and on Thursday a crowd of over 10,000 people are expected to go out and give him'a rousing send-off.
Many people high in the official life of the city will be in attendance in addition to Hon. A. G. Froe, Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Mr. S. H. Dudley. Among those expected to attend (Continued on page A)
this be done that our manhood and our respect for law be not crushed out by prejudice and race discrimination.

President Drawn Out in Veteran Hospital Fight
New York, May 1—President Harding has broken silence on the Tuskegee Hospital situation to inform the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the institution on Tuskegee grounds, for the care of colored veterans of the world war, is to be manned entirely by a colored personnel, including colored doctors and nurses.
This decision ends the fear that had prevailed for some time, that an attempt would be made through the Veterans' Bureau to man the colored hospital with white doctors and nurses leaving only menial labor for colored people.
The letter of Mr. Christian, directed to the Association, is as follows:
THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON
April 28, 1923
My dear Mr. Seligmann:
Your communication of April 19 has been submitted to the President and he directs me to make reply and say that the task of selecting and completing the colored staff for the management and administration of Tuskegee Hospital is well under way. It is the plan of Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel. It is not an easy matter to perfect such an organization under the limitations of the Civil Service, but the program is being worked out in a most encouraging and gratifying way. The Tuskegee experiment is going to afford the trained representatives of the colored race the opportunity to give proof of their capacity and efficiency in a highly public service.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) Geo. B. Christian, Jr.
Secretary to the President.
Mr. Herbert J. Seligmann
70 Fifth Avenue,
New York City.
The letter from Mr. Christian follows two appeals to President Harding, sent by the N. A. A. C. P., both pointing out that the effect of depriving colored doctors and nurses of the

At 3:30 o'clock, Thursday afternoon, May 10, at the American League Park, Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs, America's foremost colored baseball team, will make its initial bow to Washington fandom.
A half holiday has been declared by local fans to celebrate the occasion, which will be preceded by an automobile parade headed by a couple of bands through all sections of the city.
The Atlantic City Bacharach Giants, for years holding rank as one of the country's great teams, will oppose Ben Taylor and his array of stars on opening day.
With the approval of the weather man it is predicted that fully 15,000 baseball lovers will crowd the park, shatter all previous attendance records for Colored baseball here, and welcome the new era—the coming of Ben Taylor to our city.
Only four men in the Potomac line-up—which appears in another column of this paper—have ever performed in this city before. Lewis and Ridgeley appeared here as members of the Baltimore Black Sox. Ben Taylor and Spees Clark played here during the war as members of the Indianapolis A. B. C. club on a barnstorming trip. Amorig the men that will be seen here for the first time are Elais Brown, the heavy hitting outfielder, who campaigned with the New York Bacharachs last season; William Ross Indianapolis last year; Albritton, a New Yorker, who demonstrated class by trimming the Richmond Giants handily Tuesday; Bullet Campbell, fast ball marvel from Boston; Williams, the sensation of the Western League in 1921; Jefferson, gardener of professional experience from Pennsylvania; Wicks, outfielder from same locality; Goodrich, the greatest third baseman ever developed in Texas; Washington, the flashy fielder from Georgia; Eggleston, a leading backstop in the West for the last couple of seasons; and Woods, a proverbial spark plug and experienced player. It is not unlikely that the above personnel has the edge on any in the country. Ben Taylor and Clarke are two of the three men John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants is reported to have said he would give $100,000 for if they were white.
The Bacharach Giants coming direct from a crucial series with the Hilldale team in Philadelphia, also boasts of a strong aggregation. In the Giants' line-up are Francis, the

Site Boy Scouts Hope to Get for Summer Camp
Boy Scouts Enter Second Week of Drive
The Boy Scouts of the District of Columbia are entering upon the second week of their drive to raise funds for the Summer camp, to be located this year on Chesapeake Bay. It is their desire to raise a budget of $1,000 for that purpose, to maintain the camp and buy the necessary equipment. This effort has been much neglected by the citizens of the District and plans are now on foot to enable everyone to contribute.
The white Boy Scouts have excellent accommodations at Camp Roosevelt, where they have floors in their tents, individual cots to sleep on, a large frame dining hall and assembly popular little third baseman, formerly with Hildale and Foster's American Giants; Hampton with the A. B. C.'s last year; Downs, keystone sacker with a big "rep."
The Bacharach will play here five days and will be followed by the Baltimore Black Sox, Harrisburgh Giants and Richmond Giants.

room, also employing expert instructors in woodcraft, botany, geology, campera, agriculture, athletics, swimming and first aid. They also employ an expert cook, doctor, trained nurse and camp clerk. An advanced course in Scouting is offered covering a period of three seasons in camp.
Our colored boys need equally as much if we are to compete in later years with leadership of same standards. Our Scout leaders desire to employ a portion of these trainers, particularly the cook, trained nurse, and doctor, and as many of the others as possible. The boys need floors in their tents and other essential camp equipment. There is an urgent call at once for funds with which to secure a part of this outfit. The amount raised to date is $36.69. Send all personal subscriptions to the office of the Assistant Deputy Scout Commissisoner, S. Z. C. Westerfield, 1503 R St., N. W. All subscriptions will be acknowledged through the columns of this paper.
Scouting develops the boy along lines which no other organization offers and it qualifies him for leadership in later years. He is trained physically, mentally and morally. One dollar contributed in this drive affords training and joy to one boy for a day and a half. Won't you be the means of aiding in giving our colored Boy Scouts the best summer camp they have ever had? We are counting on YOU and YOUR CONTRIBUTION.

Anacostia and Deanwood Hit By Big Flood
The cloudburst which struck the northeastern and southeastern sections of the city Saturday night, carried death and destruction in its wake.
Mrs. W. H. Carter, 4428 Douglass Street, N. E., was drowned while on her way home in the taxi cab of James Brawner. The flood which swept down the Benning valley, tore up the concrete paving of Kenworth Avenue, near the Benning viaduct. The car dropped into this hole and was washed thru the big culvert and was found about 220 yards west of where it went into the water. Mr. Brawner escaped without injury. Much damage was recorded in this section.
In Anacostia, the breaking of a small dam to the East of the Insane Asylum, on Stickfoot Creek, let an avalanche of water down Sheridan road, which carried the foot bridges, fences and other debris with it. It was this avalanche that struck the autos of John Cope and Vivian H. Tibbs, near Nicholas Avenue. Mr. Cope had rescued two ladies who were in his machine when Tibbs crawled out of his sedan onto the top of Cope's car. A floating bridge struck the car and Tibbs went into the swollen stream, which carried him to the big culvert running under Nicholas Avenue, west to the Potomac River, the distance of about a half mile. Water rose about fifteen feet in Sheridan Road and filled all of the homes along this street with mud and silt from the back water, which came up as the culvert became jammed with logs and other debris. Searching partigs spent all day Sunday looking for Vivian H. Tibbs, but his body had not been found up to Friday morning. Mr. Tibbs lived at 326 D Street, S. E.
A mass meeting was held Monday night at the Birney School in Anacostia, by the Hillsdale Citizens Association assisted by the Garfield Citizens Association. The object of the meeting was to raise funds for the family of Vivian H. Tibbs, and to discuss plans to prevent a similar occurrence. Jesse H. Foster and Attorney John (Continued on page 8)

After money rumors, "Plantation Revue" finally sailed last Saturday for London where the Revue will become part of Chas. B. Coehran's show "From Dover Street to Dixie," the Revue featuring Florence Mills, Shel-

During an interview, Miss Preer, who plays the title role in "Salome," said:
"I believed Salome to be a religious fanatic and a virtuous girl, who had given her heart to Jokannen. She did not want to dance for Herod nor did she want to attract him. Her dance then would necessarily be a chaste and restrained one.
"I felt that an impassioned dance would be entirely out of keeping with Salome's emotion at the time."

KELLY MILLER AND REV. OLDEN TO ADDRESS MASS MEETING
Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University will be the principal speaker at a mass meeting to be held Sunday May 6, at 3:30 p.m. at the John Wesley Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran Sts., N.W. Another prominent speaker at this meeting will be Rev J. C. Olden, whose powerful appeals have marked him as a great leader. This meeting will be the fourth of a series of meetings being held every Sunday during the Membership drive of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which is now in full swing. It was announced from the offices of the association that it looks as if the N. A. A. C. P. will go "over the top" with a greater enrollment than ever.
SEGREGATION ON OCEAN LINER
New York, April 28.—An invisible color line was drawn across the dining room the Cunard liner Albania before she sailed for England today, On one side of the line sat 141 white passengers, on the other 34 members of a troupe of colored "plantation songsters" bound for London to stage their musical revue.
The fog of discord descended on the Albania about the time set for departure, when the colored women, laden with orchids, with their male escorts staggering under diamond ornaments, topped the gangway.
The 141 whites formed a line at the purser's window and 141 protests were filed accompanied by threats to cancel passages. The color line was the captain's solution.
Henry Ford says a man can earn enough in six hours to live on a week. Sounds plausible too, when you think of the amount lost at the Bowie Race Track on long shots:

SMITH UNIVERSITY HAS GOOD TEAM
By A. H. Prince
Charlotte, N. C.—Smith University's baseball team has had one of the most successful season, in its history, having won nine games out of the eleven on its schedule for the term. Notable are the victories over Union University, Bennet College, Livingstone College, Albion Academy, A. & T. College, Mary Potter School and Lutheran College.
Coach R. E. Leach and Manager J. R. Harris have done excellent work in placing Smith University's record in athletics on such a high scale this term.
The team had only four of its varsity players in the beginning, namely; McCorey, Russell, Gordon, and McIver; but Allen, Douglass, Marshall, Johnson, Russell, Williams, Dawson, Harris, and Goore filled with credit the vacancies.
MOREHOUSE DEFEATS MORRIS
BROWN
"Big Bud" Bryant had the better part of a pitcher's duel with Harold when the Morehouse Tigers defeated Morris Brown in a thrilling contest by the score of 4-3. Bryant allowed the Purple and Black boys only 5 hits and sent 8 men back to the bench via the strikeout route, while Harrold allowed 8 hits and struck out 3. The feature of the game was the sensational fielding and batting of Rodgers, at short, for Morehouse. He gained 2 doubles and handled 9 chances without an error.

WILBERFORCE WINS OPENER
By S. H. Hasbrooke
After losing a game on April 20th to Wilmington College by the score 8 to 5 the Wilberforce baseball team went back home and ran away with the fast Earlham College from Richmond Ind. The visitors scored first on two hits and a walk but Wilberforce came back in the third and put three markers across and from then on it was all Wilberforce. The hitting and fielding of Latting, Huff, Willette and Springs featured.
The pitching of Jones was of the first class, letting the visitors down with 5 hits. The team as a whole did very well and by the end of next week will be in top form. Wilberforce will play Capitol next week and expects to have a hard game. Since losing to them last year Coach Pettyjohn will have the team primed for Capitol on May 5th. A good sized crowd was on hand to

KENNER'S HITTING
FEATURE IN TIGERS VICTORY
Manager West's LeDroit Tigers hit the combined offerings of Lewis Dwiggins, and Milan hard and defeated the Asburyys, 17 to 1, in a six inning contest Sunday on the southwest Twilight League diamond.
Adams pitched shut out ball while on the mound four innings. The losers tallied their only run when Milan the first man to face Smith walked, stole second and third and scored when Collins fumbled Dwiggins grounder, KeKnner's hitting was a feature. Moten showed up well in the Asbury outfield. The score:

Seven errors in the first two innings cost St. Paul a victory at the hands of Virginia Union University at Hovey Park, Richmond, Va., on April 26th. Erratic fielding by Blackwell and Collins and poor catching by Madden caused the orange and black aggregation to lose its equilibrium; and it was not until the fourth inning that St. Paul forced up and settled down to old form. After the third inning the game was an interesting encounter. Veritable sportsmanship took precedence over everything.

LINCOLN DEFEATS HOWARD
By L. J. K. Wells
Lincoln University, Pa., April 27—Lincoln University's baseball team defeated Howard here yesterday 14 to 6. The game was featured by the timely hitting of Lincoln's whole team, and in two big innings they sewed the game up—and more. Both teams used southpaws, Wilson hurling for Lincoln and Taylor for Howard. Howard got a three-run lead early on the game; but in the fifth inning Caver beat out an infield roller and began a rally which, with hits and misplays by Howard's infield, netted five runs. Howard caught up in
KAISER KNOCKED OUT, BUT PIEDMONTS WIN
The Piedmonts went into a tie with the LeDroit Tigers in the twilight league standing by defeating the Oriental Tigers in a well played game Sunday at South Capitol and P Sts., by the score 9 to 5. A large crowd viewed the game. Kaiser started but gave away to Bland in the fifth. White started for the Orientals and after the first, pitched stellar ball until taken out. Reid's batting was a feature.

TENNIS CLUB TO HAVE FORMAI
OPENING
The James E. Walker Tennis Club, 5th and W Streets, consisting of all the stars of Washington—some of whom have been and now are national champions—and a host of prospective talent will take their first "crack" at the tennis ball on Saturday, May 5, at 2 p.m., when the court will have its formal opening. The courts 5th and W Streets, have been re-conditioned and have been put in first class shape. Lovers of the tennis sport are cordially invited to attend the opening game; which is free of cost.
Jack Johnson in Cuba
Jack Johnson landed in Havana, Cuba, last week where he well engage in two fights, the first on May the sixth with Farmer Lodge and another opponent on the twentieth. It is also said that Jack is trying to persuade some Cuban promoter to match him with Harry Wills. If successful, the battle will be held in the new arena
STONEWALLS LOOSE
The St. Cyprians opened their season with a victory over the Stonewall A. C. by a score of 10 to 4 on the latter's field.
Howard Tennis Tournament Postponed
Because of the heavy rains of the last week-end, the annual Howard University tennis tournament scheduled for this week has been postponed until May 19th. The changed date has met the approval of those listed to play, since it will give them three weeks longer to get into condition.
Howard Lands Second Place in Relay
Pitted against such formidable foes as Bates, Brown, Colgate, Montreal and other Colleges, the fleet Howard relay quartet made the speedy Bates combination step the second fastest time of the Carnival (3 min. 26 sec.) to win the class B group relay. Howard's Blue and White combination, running in the following order: Bridges, Kraft, Bright and Robinson, although forced to be contented with second place, gave one of the greatest exhibitions ever witnessed at the Carnival.
In winning the Carnival pentathlon, Charles West, the sensational all-round athlete from Washington and Jefferson, achieved a feat never before accomplished by a Race athlete. West finished first in javelin throw and 1500 meter, tied for first in 200 meter, landed fourth in the broad jump and eighth in the discuss throw. His grand average (adding all finishes) totaled 16 points. West also ran as clean-up man on the W. & J. relay team which won the Middle Atlantic States Relay Championship.
Lincoln's relay team (McBrown, Trigg, McLean and Webb) showed a sparkling performance to flash across the wire an easy winner (in 3 min. 33 sec.) over a large field including Gallaudet, Geneva and St. Bonaventure.
Dehart Hubbard had little competition in taking the broad jump and hop, step and jump events, setting up a new record in the latter event. The local high school teams, competing in Class B which included the cream of the country, failed to place, although both were well up the entire route and displayed creditable efforts. Anderson and Young of Howard were entered in the field events but failed to place. Bordentown's relay team finished in second place in the preparatory class.
Howard Track Meet May 12
Director of Physical Education Watson has announced that everything is in readiness for the fourth annual Howard track and field meet to be held May 12th on the University campus.
All members of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association are expected to be represented with relay teams and individual performers. Wilberforce will also send a group of track warriors.
Director Watson made a vigorous effort to get Charles West the Washington and Jefferson star who featured in the Penn Carnival to appear here as an added attraction but was

THEATRE NOTES
1923 VAMPIRE A CHISELED BIT OF COLD STONE
Exit the flapper. Enter the vampire. She is coming back, an egotist in love with her own physical charms. That is the vamp and as dispassionate as a chiseled bit of marbles. William Fox, who made the screen vamp, has announced the 1923 model.
She is Estelle Taylor, a beautiful brunette. Fox believes that the vampire is due for a return to popularity, and, as he has an uncanny sense of the public taste, there is no doubt that the vamp is coming back, and Miss Taylor in "A Fool There was" is the newest of the type, who will be seen in the picture at the Broadway Theatre, beginning next Thursday May 10th for three days.
The truth is, that the public, as Fox no doubt knows it, is a bit fed up on namby-pamby characters. The vampire has reigned in every age. Like the poor, she is always with us. New York cafes and supper clubs are aglitter with the types popularly known as vamps.
They have their lean days, but the greater part of the time they flash like comets. The peacock alleys in afternoons are studied with them. Desperate, pretty and dauntless, their eyes are cast demurely down or else boldly lure. They may have a small bit in a girl and music show or they may merely live a chiffon life in the big apartment homes.
Men mean nothing—except to pay and pay and pay. Not pay for dinners or theatre seats—that is flapper stuff. Pay for hen's-egg pearls, ermine wraps, snow white limousines, diamond garters, and $20,000-a-year apartments.
Yes, the vamp is coming back. Watch for her.
TWO BIG FIRST NATIONAL PRODUCTIONS HEADLINERS AT THE LINCOLN NEXT WEEK
Life on a picturesque four-masted schooner at sea is depicted in "Fury," the First National picture that comes to the Lincoln Theatre on Sunday for an engagement of four-days.
A flock of chickens and several pigs have the run of the deck, exploding certain false fictional notions about the menu of one of these deep-sea sailing vessels. Then, too, there is the ship's mascot, a saucy parrot that "Boy" Leyton, timid second mate of the "Lady Spray," played by Bartholmess, is bringing to his little sweetheart down in the sordid old Limehouse district of London. The poisoning of this parrot by a jealous rival of "Boy's" furnishes a poignant episode in this thrilling deep-sea drama. "Mighty Lak' a Rose," Edwin Carewe's new production released by First National, will be the attraction Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
This picture tells the story of a poor young girl whose sweet appealing nature is enhanced by the wonderful appeal in the music of her violin. When Providence transports her into the midst of a band of crooks who intend to use her in their schemes, a thrilling battle between the forces of good and evil begins and ends with good not only winning, but having its conquered foe how spimply before it

I will be here whether the weather is good or not. If you hear me ring the bell you will know that is a signal for you to catch the chicken and wring its head off.
I know that it will be rather a difficult feat to catch the particular one that I told you of last night, but as it is to be a prize for the belle who has the smallest feet you will have to make a special effort to secure the little red hen. No other will do.
Due to the fact that Mary has won two prizes already, I hope that she does not win this one too.
By-the-way, do you know about the boy who was stung by a bee while he was peeping through a knot hole? It was quite a coincidence because he was on his way to the store to buy some honey. He had a small sum of money and he lost the whole of it.

EMANCIPATION AND THE FREED IN AMERICAN SCULPTURE
A Study in Interpretation By FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS M
FREEMAN HENRY MORRIS MURRAY
(Continued from last week)
THE BEECHER MONUMENT,
BROOKLYN,
If we have not, as Mr. Taft suggests, grown callous, we shall not fail to be impressed by Ward's elevated sentiment here, and also by his excellent execution. What he has depicted in these subordinate figures
Figure on the Beecher M
by J. Q
A
Figure on the Beecher Monument, Brooklyn, N. Y., by J. Q. A. Ward.
seems not to be the merely perfunctory posing of models; we get the impression that this young woman and these children are not obeying someone's suggestions but are responding to impulses of their own. And yet their appearances and actions partake sufficiently of the idealistic to relieve the group from the commonplaceness which often results from the striving for detailed realism or from the piecing out with accessories.
(Footnote—It is at that point that so many artists "go to pieces" and others become oppressive. The differences between the artistic and the commonplace often lies in what Mr. Taft calls restraint. Imagine, for example, in this case, this freedwoman conventionally "made up" with any or all of the following: big ear-rings; a heavy necklace of dog's teeth; a conspicuously knotted head-handkerchief; a liberally patched frock, slouchily worn; a tied-in-a-bandanna bundle, on a stick; maybe broken chains fast to her ankles; and other supposedly suggestive concomitants.)
As for the freedwoman, her attitude and expression bespeaks a saddened humility, yet appreciative gratitude; but there is no suggestion of abjectness nor appearance of bewilderment. Caffin, in his book already mentioned, comments briefly on this monument. He says: "The pedestal of the 'Beecher' is embellished with figures. On one side a woman and on the other a little girl depositing a wreath, and a boy steadying the latter figure. They are well-modeled in natural and graceful movement, but they impart a touch of sentimentality, so alien to Ward's habit, and indeed, to the spirit of the statue, that I wonder whether they were not a concession to the wish of the subscribers."
Caffin's statement carries what seems to be an unjustifiable inference. Indeed, he seems bent on denying to Ward any sentiment, or any "sentimentality," at any rate. It will be recalled that he said of Ward's "freedman," that in it there was "no intrusion of the sculptor's feelings." Nevertheless, Jarves had said he had "seen nothing in our sculpture more soul-lifting or comprehensively eloment." Another writer calls the "freedman" a "mighty expression," due to Ward's "courage and genius." And finally let us recall Mr. Tafte's
statement: "Little can we of a younger generation appreciate the emotion which was wrought into this souvenir of the Great Rebellion." I am afraid that, regarding one matter at least, Mr. Caffin,—in common with many of the present-day contemporaries—unconsciously perhaps, has grown just a little "callous." But whether Ward's work here partakes of sentimentality or not, I am glad to quote with heavy approval,
Monument, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
J. A. Ward.
a few more words from Mr. Taft's tribute to this "upright and generous man and artist."
"Mr. Ward is so much of a sculptor that he cannot do bad work—just as he is so much of a man that he cannot conceive trifling and unworthy things."
A CHILD'S PRAYER
Oh, Heavenly Father,
List to my prayer,
A home in heaven
For me prepare.
Oh, gentle Saviour,
Lead me aright—
To live by Thy side
In Thy pure light.
Oh, Heavenly Father,
Master divine,
Answer my prayers—
I'm wholly Thine.
On Calvary's brow
You died for me
I would, Oh, God,
Give my life for Thee.
Care for the dying,
Care for the poor,
Care for the rich,
The sick and the sore.
Bless all humanity
Answer each prayer,
Watch us and guide us—
We trust in Thy care.
C. Leslie Frazier
A school teacher over in Alexandria used to speak of his class as follows:
"It is a pleasing sight to sit here and look at you children. You remind me of a garden of varied colored flowers. I can see the bright asters, the golden rods, the dull pink roses, the brown shrubs and the daisies whenever I look at you."
And it is true.
The color of Negroes is a thing of beauty.
Distinctions for Gallantry in Action
The 369th, 370th, 371st and 372nd regiments and the first battalion of the 367th Infantry were awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French military authorities. These regiments were composed of American Negroes. The Croix de Guerre, was awarded for heroism in action.

Please place your age after your name in "every" letter.
Dear Editor: I was pleased to see that my letter was accepted in the contest telling who my school was named in honor of. I have always been very interested in the "Children's Page." After a good study, I tried to do my best in the contest. I was greatly encouraged when I found that I was one of the winners. In the future I shall continue to do my best in order that I may some day become an "Honor Child."
ELMORE W. JASPER (Age 11)
Dear Editor: I am ten years old and I like the "Children's Page." This is short but I just had to write to you to say "Hello." M. E. C.
Dear Editor: I've been trying real hard for a long time to be "Honor Child" and I can't even be a "Special." If I don't win this week I'll haul right off and try again next week. I don't go to school, I am taught at home by my mother. I have been sickly. I intend to go to school next season.
VENETTA TAYLOR (Age 10)

MAGDALEN PYE, (Age 13)
Dear Editor: I read your paper every week and like it very much; I would like to join. I am sending the answers to some puzzles. I go to St. Cyprian's School and I am in the 7th grade. I live at 515½ 6 St., S.E.
PEARL GLADDEN, (Age 13)
Dear Editor: I have been reading the "Children's Page" for over a year but this is my first attempt to solve one of your puzzles. My name is Altona Veronica Goodrich. I am 13 years old and in the first year at Dunbar High School. I would like very much to join the "Birthday Club." My birthday is July 16th.
The suggestion I would make to improve this page is, that you urge the contributors of the page to send in short stories that are interesting to both young and old. There are few children, old enough to write, who would not enjoy spending a few hours writing an original story, direct from their young minds, to the paper.
I will start this "Short Story Campaign" by sending you an original story soon.
I hope my suggestion will be accepted and that my puzzle answers are right.
ALTONA V. GOODRICH
Dear Editor: I was very much pleased to see my name appear in the Tribune and also my composition on "Sumner School." Last Saturday was the first time that I received the Tribune. I found the "Children's Page" and love very much to read it. I look for it eagerly and will strive to answer as many questions as I am able in the future.

THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA
By A. Folumbo I. DeWalt
A Native Liberian and a Dental
Student of Howard University
Legislature. No name of the globe can be plishments in a simi
The first steps were taken by Paul
I propose to present in a series of writings some facts about the Republic of Liberia, which I hope will not only prove to be of interest to the readers of the Tribune, but will shed some light upon the Republic and clear up some of the points which might, heretofore, have been vague in your minds.
I feel that the American people know far too little about the Republic of Liberia. Being an offspring of the United States, I am of the opinion that the history of Liberia should be taught in all of the Public Schools of the United States; and if those in authority will not see to it that this is done, in justice to self, every Negro should see to it that he is well enough acquainted with said history to be able to speak intelligently of it at all times. As poor as is the educational system in Liberia, the average first grade pupil can rattle off the names of the different states of the American Union, the dates when they entered the Union, all of the Presidents of the United States, as well as many facts about most of the countries of Europe.
Yet, I have had some to ask me such questions as: "Is Africa as large as the United States?" "Who is the King of Africa?", etc., when if the different nations of Europe holding sway in Africa should take up arms against each other there would result one of the most bloody wars recorded upon the pages of history. This shows that there has been negligence somewhere down the line, and it is with this end in view that we are planning to consider briefly her historical, political, social, economic, and religious conditions in the subsequent articles. Just as Berkley's "Star of Empire" on the American continent commanded the attention of humanity nearly three centuries ago, and the king of Belgium enlisted the great nations of Europe to follow the "New Star in the East" not many years ago so to-day the parcelled holds good in Liberia and we might truly say that a new star has appeared in the East.
As we view the history of Liberia, there are to be seen many things which are in common with that of America. The men who colonized the new settlement now constituting the United States of America, were mostly the descendents of slaves under successive Roman, Saxon, Danish, and Norman lords.
They learned self-government as colonists only after five generations of protectorate under the mother country. Their earliest settlement along the coast and along the river bottoms, proved unhealthful, sterile, and inhospitable. Jamestown was soon deserted. Chester and Plymouth were left to decay; commerce often was hampered; and public debt seemed irretrievable. Youth was sent to the mother country to be educated; and churches sought both support and ministers from the mother country.
Liberia was settled only a few years ago by slavse just freed without property or education. In one generation we were nominally independent, having our own Executive, Judiciary, and

Subject:
Legislature. No nation on the face of the globe can boast of such accomplishments in a similar period of time. The first steps toward colonizing were taken by Paul Cuffee, a Negro of New Bedford, Mass. This bold leader, full of zeal for the civilization of Africa took, in 1815 forty colored people in his own ship and at his own expense from Boston to Sierra Leone, West Africa, which was a colony established on the coast by Great Britain for the reception of slaves captured from the Americans in the Revolutionary War. But it was not until the second term of President Jefferson's administration that serious thought was given to the founding of what later became the Republic of Liberia and this was only after Washington, Ayres, Johnson and others, reading the signs of the times, foresaw the need.

Ralph: It's no harm is it?
Ruth: Yes it's a harm. It's a hurt.
Do you like for white boys to call you nigger? Do you like to be called nigger by anyone?
Ralph: You're right, Ruth, I never thought of that.

The ravages of the flood which struck Washington last Saturday night is a concrete demonstration of the fact that the sections of the cities, in the southern section of America, where Negroes live are always the neglected sections.
The heaviest sufferers of the flood waters here Saturday, were the colored inhabitants of the Deanwood and Anacostia sections. The lack of adequate storm sewers in these sections was evidently the main cause for the excessive amount of surface water which swept everything before it.
There is an object upon which the colored civic associations can unite and make a strong fight for the protection due them as property owners and citizens of the District.
The mass meeting held Monday by the Hillsdale and Garfield citizens associations in the Birney School, was one in the right direction, and that meeting should be followed by the other associations in cooperation with them to the end that they may obtain better protection in the neglected sections inhabited by the members of the various associations.
BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL IN WASHINGTON
Washingtonians will have the opportunity next week, and the rest of the season to demonstrate their real desire to see a representative big league Colored team with the Washington label on it. Ben Taylor, formerly with the A. B. C. club of Indianapolis, Indiana, has whipped into first class form a big league team to be known as the "Washington Potomacs." They are to open the season in Washington next Thursday, May the 10th, at the American League Park, where all the games are to be played. The Potomacs have been in training at Richmond, Va., where they have played several games which prove their ability and high standard as a team of professional players. The Negroes of Washington will have the opportunity to prove their race pride by patronizing a first class team of their own. Every city in the East has its representative team and this is Washington's big chance to demonstrate her civic, as well as her race pride, and support the Potomacs and help them maintain a standard as "America's foremost Colored baseball club."
PRESIDENT DRAWN OUT
(Continued from page 1) opportunity to treat colored war veterans, in a hospital designed for them exclusively and built upon ground given to the government by Tuskegee Institute would be most unfortunate.
The statement issued some time ago that white nurses and physicians would man the hospital caused a storm of protests from all sections. Dr. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who was instrumental in having the hospital placed there, was unable to withstand the storm of protests and had to appeal to President Harding for a definite ruling in the matter.
An Alabama state law prevents any white nurse from waiting on colored patients. However, the Southern whites had planned to get around this law by employing colored people to do the work while the white nurses drew the salaries.

ALLIED INDUSTRIAL Much interest is being aroused in the program of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation among the Colored people of the District of Columbia and the various states where the stock of the Company has been offered. This is doubtless due to the fact that in accordance with its program it has been able to render valuable financial aid to many Negro business enterprises since it actively began business July 1st 1822.
During the past nine months the Corporation has been flooded with many worthy applications for funds, and it has placed to advantage such a large proportion of the funds secured from the sale of its stock that it was in position to pay dividends at the rate of 8 per cent per year on its preferred stock each quarter during the period it has engaged in business. Arrangements are now being made to present the program of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation to the people of the District of Columbia in a very direct way. Meetings are

being held in the various sections of the District and it is expected within a short time that the Corporation will have such a large amount of its capital stock subscribed for that it will be in position to handle a greater number of the numerous business propositions offered to it.

Mrs. Croer is a member of the National Spiritualist Association of the United States, and the only Colored Missionary sent out by that body to do foreign work. She has recently returned from England where she was sent as a delegate to attend as an official of the association. She speaks highly of those she met and the hospitality tendered her while abroad.
Mrs. Croer ranks among the highest officials of the Association. She had the privilege and honor of sitting on the platform beside the well known and recognized Spiritualist, Conon
for April shows that payments have increased at the rate of 300 per cent since October and that 50 per cent of the allotment for April had been paid. James H. Hill Lodge seems to have an easy lead on the amount paid per capita. Brother Samuel Clark, Worshipful Master of the Lodge, with the able assistance of Brothers Howard Grinnage, Senior Warden, and George King, Junior Warden, started out in earnest to put the job over and is making a record. Brother Clark is a member of the Executive Committee of The Temple Builders Executive council.
Past Master Thomas Jordon of Warren Lodge No. 8 issued a challenge to Past Master Charles Banks of Chas. Datcher Lodge No. 15 which the latter was quick to take up. Now the forces in Datcher Lodge are being organized to take the lead from Warren by turning in the largest cash payment for May. Worshipful Master Thomas Parks is determined to hold first place for Warren. Calls have been made for $5.00 payments in Eureka No. 5, John F. Cook No. 10, and Chas. Datcher No. 15. Work is progressing on the New Temple and the prospects are very encouraging.

Among the many interesting things she said during her lecture was to impress her hearers of the interest the people of England manifest in Spiritualism. "The young," she said, "are taught from childhood to accept that Truth."
Mrs. Bertha Croer is always welcome and we hope to be favored with her presence again soon.
GEORGETOWN CONTINUES
FIGHT FOR JUNIOR HIGH
Using the argument that the selection of a site for the location of the new Colored Junior High School should be in keeping with the moving of the race, and that a failure to consider this would be a grave oversight on the part of those responsible, members of the Georgetown Civic Body at a meeting held Tuesday evening last week in the Phillips School went on record favoring a place somewhere west of Rock Creek Park and not to the east, as the proposed plan indicated.
A resolution requesting the Board of Education to look closer into the matter, was offered and adopted.
When asked for a statement the other day concerning the adverse action taken by the Georgetown Civic Colored Junior High, headquarters at Franklin were some what reticent upon the issue, but expressed a willingness to cooperate in every way with any group of citizens who desired it, upon any question pertaining to the betterment of the public school system.
