THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE VOL. III. WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SER VICE CLUB NO. 3 Its Activities and Aims Working in conjunction with the War Department and the Navy Department Commissions on Training Camp Activities, War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, at 2011 Georgia avenue, N. W., Washington D. C. seeks to do for the colored soldier and sailor in times immediately following the war, what the array proper aims at all times to do—to keep up the morale by affording diversion in the way of supplying necessary recreation and amusement. Every group of soldiers is an unknown quantity until it has been tried out. Of course, there were troe among us who had not the slightest doubt that the Negro soldiers would acquit themselves well, yet who is there that did not follow the early reports of the war's activities with a tense interest, to know how well? War Camp Community Service Club No. 3 may well be called a "Haven of Rest" for here it is that large numbers of our men in uniform come for rest, for quiet, to meet friends, to write, and to do the other things that make up a life in a busy world. The work is carried on with a remarkable degree of success in catering to the large numbers of soldiers, sailors and war workers because of the fact that it has the heartiest cooperation of all the citizens of color in the nation's capitol. These citizens have grouped themselves into a general committee, with several sub-committees, and they work with a will to bring things to pass. They make real the Scriptural saying, "Whatsoever thy hands find to do, do it with all thy might..." There is no active agency at work in the city that does not in one way or the other contribute its share to the success of War Camp Community Club No. 3. The Red Cross Units (branches of the Greatest Mother of them all) see to it that regularly real feasts are prepared for the soldiers and sailors, and if the convalescents are unable to walk to the various places where entertainment is provided for them, conveyances in the shape of automobiles are furnished. Several of the leading churches have had tasty meals provided for these men, which meals have been served to them after divine worship, thus affording food for the soul as well as for the body. Brotherhood seems to have caught fire, for all claim these valiant heroes as brothers and the churches think that by allying themselves with war camp community service they become quicker the church triumphant. Donations of leading magazines, books and periodicals have been made, and each organization taking a night to entertain and amuse the patrons of the club usually furnishes light refreshments. The light refreshments though give way to the "heavier" sort, when they serve chicken salad, ham sandwiches, chocolate, wafers, ice cream and fruit. The Committee wanted certain things and not desiring to wait for the usual "red tape" methods in vogue, got busy and sold tags to purchase a piano. Not content, they are to have a new player in the club rooms at an early date; thus, when a performer does not show up for dancing parties, one needs but to operate the player for the dance music. Some young women of the committee are making preparations to have the windows throughout the entire club house draped, to make it really "the house beautiful." An employment office, a branch of the United States Department of Labor, has been established in the club house, where every effort is made to secure employment both here and elsewhere for those desiring it. Quite a measure of success has been had in this line, and it is to be hoped that no man will fail to avail himself of the privilege of using this branch of the employment service to get placed. A singing people is a successful people. One of the features of this club is its lively singing. This has been helped by a band of thirty-two musicians, under the leadership of Mr. James E. Miller. Troops of Boy Scouts gave a first aid demonstration, and afforded entertainment in the way of music and recitations, and prominent artists among the race. such as Joseph H. Douglass, the violinist, Miss East, Williamsport, Pa., have contributed to the musical side of the activities. Almost nightly some one of musical ability affords music for the soldiers. The club is fortunate in having on its committee persons connected with the Department of Music of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia, Miss Josephine E. Wormley, Miss Virginia L. Williams. Mr. Claude B. Ames has charge of the community singing. Mrs. E T. Attwell, a vocalist of some prominence, also rendered several selections. To show how varied the program of amusements is at this club, it is but proper to state that a company of players (white) under the direction of Mr. Robert Bell, Chairman of the Committee on entertainment, presented a play "Chums," to a packed audience that went wild with delight at the comical situations in the play. Some women workers of the younger set gave a dance at which all the girls wore evening gowns. The feature of the evening was that every one had to take part, and although there were soldiers, who, because of their wounds could not dance, yet each girl took a boy by the arm and participated in a "grand marche." To add the jollity there have been held an old fashioned taffy pull, in which opposing teams were formed. Much merriment was manifest. A tagging party in which numbers were given, each to a girl and a similar number to a soldier, the girl becoming the soldier's company for the evening. A midwinter picnic, in which the room was made to appear like a sylvan glen, with trees, greens, etc., the girls wearing summer clothes and the boys straw hats, each carrying a tin cup and a basket, was indeed a gala affair. Prominent citizens, both in and out of the city make the club house a mecca. Scores of visitors come in daily. The club caters to from one hundred to two hundred soldiers, sailors and war workers almost daily, and the functions usually bring out as many as five hundred. J. B. Ramsey, for a number of years Commandant of Cadets Tuskegee Institute, is the Special Assistant in Colored Work, War Camp Community Service, having as his direct assistants Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, and Mr. Francis Wells. The chairman of the Committee cooperating with War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, is Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court. T. W.

Harden Returned to Chicago, Ill., After Six Years of Successful Practice in Indiana A Young Man Popular with the Masses Few young attorneys have done as much to give the race recognition as has J. P. Harden while in Indiana. He made the race for municipal judge and lost by one vote; this was the first time in the history of the state that a race man ever attempted such; he enjoys the distinction of being the first Negro to advocate and motion that a Negro be permitted to act as sitting judge. He is an eloquent, pointed and logical speaker. He is a prominent church man and Odd Fellow. Watch Harden rise in the Windy City. MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY FEB. 6, 1919 Hon. Fred. E. Sterling Illinois State Treasurer The Right Man To Advance To The Governorship in 1920 Bessemer, Ala., Gets S. S. Congress Dancing from 10:30 to 1:00 o'clock COME AND ENJOY YOURSELF Visitors will be taken care of. For information write or phone A. V. KNIGHT, 510 Elm St., Rockford, Illinois. Telephone No. Main 3383. Fred E. Sterling, the new State Treasurer, early in his administration has again shown his warm friendship for the Colored people in the most substantial manner. Treasurer Sterling has just announced the appointment of J. Harold White, of Springfield, as Warrant Clerk in his office, a position of trust and responsibility, carrying with it a good salary. This is the most important recognition ever given to the colored people in the office of the State Treasurer. Mr. White is an active young Colored Republican who enjoys a wide acquaintance in colored social, secret and fraternal organizations throughout the state. He has served as a messenger in the office of the Public Utilities Commission in Springfield for several years, and is well qualified for his new position. Mr. Sterling has given further recognition to the Colored Republicans of the state by appointing Samuel J. Morton of Quincy, and Louis F. Finnie of Cairo, both well known as guards in the Treasurer's office. He was also instrumental in securing a posi- SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS GOES TO ALABAMA Bessemer Awarded the 1919 Session Meeting Will be Held June 10th to 16th June 19th to 10th Nashville, Tenn. (Reciprocal News Service)—After some delay caused by the influenza, the promoters of the Sunday School Congress announced today that the 1919 session would be held in Bessmer, Alabama, June 11th to 16. The statement was handed out by Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the Corresponding Secretary of this missionary movement, which has for its purpose the stimulating of the mission spirit and the higher teachings of simplified Sunday school work. The organization is fourteen years old and it has held meetings each year. The delegations come from practically every state in the union and there are twenty thousand Sunday schools who are expected to send representation. From year to year, Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 27th. (Reciprocal News Service)—More than two thousand people heard the reports of the captains in the Five Thousand Dollar Campaign for religious education at the Mt. Olive Baptist church here Sunday afternoon. "My Country 'Tis of Thee," sung by a chorus of one hundred voices, in which the entire congregation stood and participated, added a picture of patriotism to the opening scene. Nash- tion in the House of Representatives during the present session for H. T. Bowman, a newspaper publisher of Alton. Treasurer Sterling is one of those Republican leaders who believes that the colored people, who help to roll up the great Republican majorities at each election in Illinois, should be given substantial recognition when the patronage is doled out. He has given evidence of his genuine friendship and sincerity along this line many times in the past. Beauregard F. Mosely, of Chicago, who had charge of the last campaign among the colored voters, is reported as saying: "the only man elected to public office in this state since the war who has shown evidences of giving the Negro people their proper share of the world's democracy for which 30,000 negro soldiers from Illinois fought in Germany, is no less a man and none other than our present State Treasurer, Fred E. Sterling; the People's choice for Governor in 1920. Three cheers for Sterling! He is a winner! If you don't believe it read the last returns." however, the delegation has not exceeded more than one-fourth of this. The officials of the Congress say this year that five thousand will be in attendance. The Congress Director, Dr. R. H. Boyd, predicted an overwhelming attendance, while the Chairman of the Congress, Rev. C. H. Clark was very optimistic and felt that the workers would be down in Alabama in large numbers. The departments of the congress each have their various conductors; they consist of the Cradle Roll and Home Department, the Advanced Teacher, Primary Teacher, The Boy Cadets, the Galeda Organized classes. "Ours is a missionary summer school for the worker who desires to improve himself along missionary religious lines and offers to the worker unexcelled privileges in the study of the Gospel in a simplified manner," the secretary stated in making the announcement of this year's session. ville, being the middle district of Tennessee, made its rally, and at the close of the meeting twelve hundred dollars or more than one fifth of the entire amount allotted for Tennessee, was reported in actual cash. The colored Baptist churches of the city who belong to the unincorporated National Baptist Convention, represented by their pastors, their colonels, captains, lieutenants and members, made an excellent showing. SECRETARY LANE SPEAKS AT HAMPTON Hampton, Virginia.—Secretary Franklin K. Lane was the Founder's Day speaker at Hampton Institute, on Sunday, January 26. Principal James E. Gregg introduced him as "a high-minded servant of the people—a man who has shown forward-looking care for the welfare and happiness of all the people." Secretary Lane said: Armstrong's Lasting Monument "General Armstrong needs no monument other than Hampton Institute, born out of the spirit of helpfulness, charity, tolerance, faith—a spirit that represents the new day and not the day that is past. "I doubt if there is a single man who has lived in this country who has more certainly pointed the way to the character of education that will obtain in the United States in the future than General Armstrong. He foresaw the thing that was needed for the making of a democracy and he put into this institution a theory of education, a philosophy reaching far further than the colored man, which will be a standard for us throughout the United States. The best of his philosophy was that men and women must work. If you want civilized men, they must be working men. If you want men of culture—and not a superficial culture, they must be men who have woven into their natures the power to do." Square Deal for All Men Secretary Lane paid a warm tribute to the splendid work of nearly 400,000 colored oldiers, of whose record, he declared, men from any part of the world might well feel proud. Addressing the great Hampton audience, he said, "And you are to have a part in the making of this new America—in exploiting the possibilities of it. No race, no people can with assurance say that they express the last word of civilization—" "The foundation of our country is tolerance, fair play, the square deal. We want to see here man, as man, given his chance. There may be differences between men, we know there are, physical, mental, moral; but they are all men and all are to have their chance and we all are to join in the making of America." Old Spirituals The Hampton choir, and later the entire Hampton school, sang to Secretary Lane and other Founder's Day guests a number of the "old spirituals," including "I Want to be Ready," "I am Rolling Through this Unfriendly World," "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and "My Lord, What a Morning." New York City, N. Y.—Perry W. Howard, widely known Negro attorney of Mississippi and president of the National Negro Bar Association, sailed today for Paris where he goes as foreign correspondent for the Baltimore Daily Herald and other interests. Attorney Howard was recently elected president of the Racial Protective League of America with headquarters at Washington D. C. and of which Mr. E. T. Atwell is the secretary-treasurer. This organization will rival the best in the country and it maintains headquarters at 613 F street N. W., Washington, D. C. NO 32. AROUND THE COUNTRY New York—Dr. J. B. Ford, graduate of Howard University and now an interne at Bellevue Hospital is the first interne of African descent to take out an ambulance of Bellevue. Opelika; Ala.—Private Tom River's of Company G. 366th Infantry, a colored soldier residing a few miles from this city, has been cited by the commanding general of the American forces in France "for extraordinary heroism in action near the Bois delaviorotte on November 11." The citation continuing says, "Although gassed he volunteered and carried important messages through heavy barrages and refused aid until his company was relieved." Columbus, O.—Seven hundred colored troops at the Government storage plant, East Columbus, rebelled today. They demanded more food, refusing to go to work until it was promised them by Major J. W. Foyle, commandant. Anniston, Ala.—Sergt. Edgar Caldwell, who on Dec. 15 shot and killed a street car conductor and wounded the motorman has been convicted of murder and sentenced to death.

Boise, Idaho—The Idaho legislature has passed a memorial to the United States senate for passage of the Federal Suffrage Amendment. Washington—Passports for delegates to the Pan-African Conference at Paris have been refused by the state department on the ground that the French government does not consider the time favorable for such a conference. New York—A Pan-African conference in Paris Feb. 11, 12, 13, 14 in which representatives from North and South America, West Indies and Africa will be represented has been sanctioned by Premié Clemencean of France, according to a cablegram made public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Knowledge of one's ignorance is a master key to wisdom. Get knowledge. Things of which a girl at 17 will boast a woman at 37 will conceal. Because of their superior numbers, white men so inclined may give the Negro hell, but they can't make him like it. It frequently happens that the woman who most loudly condemns her sister, does so to divert suspicion from herself. LYNCHING AS A HABIT The records of lynchings in the United States last year, as compiled by the Tuskegee Institute, is not a thing to be proud of. In 1918, sixty-two persons were assassinated in this way, fifty-eight of them being Negroes and five of them women. Of the total, sixteen were killed because they were accused of crimes against women. Fourteen were accused of complicity in murder, seven of murder, and six of using threats to murder. The total was an increase of twenty-four over 1917, and all but three of the outrages were perpetrated in southern states. These figures give every American something to think about. In the beginning, lynching was theoretically resorted to in the south as a retaliation for one offense against society. But the Tuskegee report shows that last year only about a quarter of those killed were even accused of that crime. This fact, the increase in the total number of assassinations, the numbering of five women among the dead, go together to indicate that in the districts where nearly all the killings occurred, lynch law is bearing its natural fruit. What was once excused as an extraordinary proceeding to prevent the commission of a peculiarly heinous offense has become a convenient medium for the gratification of savage revengefulness and barbarous impulse. It has grown to be one of the diversions of the population and obviously is not resorted to in the great majority of cases because there is any feeling that the law will lag or inflict inadequate penalties, but because the populace prefers to take the law into its own hands. The whole nation is concerned in this condition because the honor and reputation of the whole nation are at stake. As long as the lynching bee persists as a recognized institution of a large portion of the United States there is all too much point in the sneers of the Teutons and Bolshevists when in response to our protests against their inhumanities, they tell us to "look at home." -Detroit Free Press MEN OF COLOR Men of every color and ever fought together in the trenches of France. No invidious distinctions were drawn. A recognition of common humanity does not admit to the drawing of a color line. Our colored troops in the war fought magnificently and won distinction for themselves. For the first time in their lives, probably, they have had something like a square deal. Colored men have proven their Americanism. In a reconstructed world they are entitled to stand on their merits as Americans. But in certain parts of this country, as yet unreconstructed, they will still be regarded, not as men, but as "niggers." J f s g n r l The colored man demands equal opportunity, respect for his manhood, the right not to be discriminated against because of his color or "previous condition of servitude." He does not ask for admission to white society. He does not desire intermingling of the races. If white blood runs in his veins it is because of the sins of white men. The race question in this country is not settled. It is full of peril because the black man is becoming more conscious of his powers and conscious, on the other hand, of the injustices of his position. Race egotism brought the German people low. It ill befits a people who claim devotion to Christian and democratic principles. The white and colored races in this country can live together in peace and amity, but it must be on a different basis than heretofore. It must be on a basis of live and let live, of genuine co-operation and mutual respect.—Milwaukee Journal. WHOSE EDITORIAL? Some time ago we criticised the despicable practice of reprinting editorials without giving proper credit. In our issue of January 9, we reprinted an editorial, "Recognizing Americans," giving credit to the Wisconsin State Journal, from whose issue of December 26 we took it. Since then we have seen a reprint of the same editorial in two different papers, each crediting it to a different paper. The Cleveland Gazette, January 4, reprinted it under the title "As Man to Man" and credited it to the Cleveland Daily Press; January 1 the New York Age reprinted it under the title "All Are Americans Now," and gave credit to the Jacksonville (Fla.) Metropolis. Now, the question naturally suggests itself. Whose editorial is it? A WONDERFUL ERA President Wilson, breaking all precedents, has gone three thousand miles across seas to confer with representatives of other great nations in an effort to bring order out of European chaos and make the world, for all time, "safe for democracy" and a decent place to live in. Down in Washington, cultured and refined women have left their comfortable homes, and braved the humiliation of arrests and the hardships of prison in order to secure for themselves and their kind, in the land of which Mr. Wilson is the executive head, the symbols of democracy. Below the Mason and Dixon line, in the regions made fertile by 250 years of unrequited toil and sweat of black men, southern gentlemen and ladies, bent upon maintaining the supremacy of the white race, a species of autocracy, are hanging, burning and otherwise torturing into death men, women, children and unborn babes of a darker hue whose only offense is that they aspire to enjoy the benefits of democracy Here in Madison, a native born citizen, four times elected to represent his district in the legislature of this state, in order to maintain his right to that seat the regular election to which is not questioned, is forced to undergo an inquisition, and declare himself fond of babies and not opposed to their birth. Truly, we live in a wonderful era! A BLOT ON OUR CIVILIZATION The record of 62 lynchings in the United States during 1918, compiled by Tuskegee Institute, shows that while we have been engaged as a people in making the world safe for democracy we have done nothing more toward removing a hideous blot from our civilization and making the south safe for our citizens of the Negro race. For it is no answer to say that if the Negro behaves himself he will not be lynched. The summary killing of "the wrong man" is a familiar sequel to the story of a cline in the south. The maddened mob is satisfied as long as it lynches somebody, and that somebody was a Negro in 58 of the 62 cases of mob violence reported for the year just ending. Fourteen of the victims were accused of complicity in murder, accused not by a grand jury after careful investigation but by common rumor. Six were alleged to have made threats to kill—an offense not punishable by death even if guilt is proved. As usual the state of Georgia held the record for the largest number of mob murders, 18 of the 62. In the light of these ghastly figures, President Wilson's remarkable exhortation to the country to abolish the lynching evil is seen to have been fully justified. As he pointed out at the time, the murders by the mob, uncoedmned by public sentiment, in certain sections of the country, afford the opportunity to our foes to question the sincerity of our motives as a nation. Those that would reform others must themselves have clean hands. Many schemes have been suggested for coping with the evil, including that of federal interference. But notwithstanding our nation's supposed steady advancement toward the ideal democracy, we suffer this blot to remain. Until it is removed our claim to the attainment of the highest civilization cannot be granted.—Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. SCISSORED THOUGHTS It is the supreme business of the responsible authorities of the nation to root out the evil of mob and lynch law violence, and they will have to do it, or suffer such spiritual visitation and consequences as are not written in the books—Washington Eagle. There are two fundamental rights upon which the Negro must insist if he would be a full-fledged American citizen—one is the right to vote and have the vote fairly counted, and the other is to be tried by a jury of his peers. No class of people can be regarded as citizens who do not vote free and untranmended. It is the only weapon against tyranny and oppression, and when this right is not practiced, you are nothing more than a serf, and men will regard you as such. The Government has seet over Major R. R. Moton (Lester A. Walton, a Mr. Hunt. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois) and other church dignitaries to keep our soldier boys away from trouble and to lecture them on good conduct until they are safely gotten back to dear old America. That's the way it reads. But it seems that the cat has jumped out of the bag which gives a little more light on the subject. One of the white Y. M. C. A. men has been writing about the great difficulty in keeping the colored boys away from the French girls "over there." Of course it would be impolite to speak of keeping the girls away from the soldier boys. But that's another story. At last he declares the problem has been solved. "We have bought a lot of banjos for the colored boys, so now they pay no more attention to the girls, for their time is spent in sitting around the camp playing on the banjos!" What a beautiful story! It reads like a dream. Anytime a colored man passes up a girl for a banjo, he evidently has the "flu" in a very aggravated form. —Cincinnati (O) Union. A. B. Wm. Lewis, Chicago, ill., Nation al. Singing, Evangelist. Stirring the District of Columbia by the hundred. Dr. Lewis has a world-wide reputation as one of the best along his line. Men and women are moved to tears at his appeals through songs. He has been the guest of Vermont Ave. Baptist Church of which Dr. J. E. Willis is pastor. Brother Lewis does not confine these services to his own race only but he has conducted meetings in some of the leading white churches of this country. He is indeed a remarkable man, who possesses wonderful persuasive power. As an evangelist, he has but few equals. He knows how to hold an audience. We hope to have the famous evangelist visit the west on his return. Already he is booked for some time ahead. A. E. H.
