The United States has for long been the only advanced nation whose government has telerated lynching, and in the last thirty years 3,224 persons have been killed by lynching mobs, according to a report just issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, entitled "Thirty Years of Lynching." For the thirty year's period from 1889 through 1918, the North has had 219 victims, the South 2,834, the West 156 and Alaska and other localities 15. Georgia leads in this unholy ascendance with 369 victims "says the report," followed closely by Mississippi with 373 victims, Texas with 354, Louisiana with 313, Alabama with 276 Arkansas with 214, Tennessee with 196 Florida with 178 and Kentucky with 169. "Fifty colored women and 11 white women were lynched in 14 States. Thirteen of the fourteen states in which women fell victims to mobs were Southern states, Nebraska being the only state outside the South which lynched women. The North and West together have lynched 21 persons durings during the same time 304 persons were lynched in the South." In speaking of President Wilson's appeal to state governors and other civil officers to prevent the "disgraceful" evil of lynching, the report says: "Despite President Wilson's earnest appeal, made under such extraordinary circumstances, lynchings continued during the remaining period of the war with unabated fury. Sixty-three Negroes; five of them women, and four white men fell victims to mob ruthlessness during 1918 and in no case was convicted in any court and in only two instances were trials held. In both of these instances the mob members were acquitted." Of the crimes with which the victims of lynching mobs have been charged, the report says: "It is to be remembered that the alleged offenses given are pretty loose descriptions of the crimes charged against the mob victims, where actual crime was committed. Of the whites lynched nearly 46 percent were accused of murder; a little more than 18 percent were accused of what have been classified as serious crimes; i.e. all crimes not otherwise classified. 17.4 percent were said to have committed crimes against property; 8.7 percent crimes against the person, other than rape, "attacks upon women," and murder; while 8.4 percent were accused of rape and "attacks upon women." "Among colored victims 35.8 percent were accused of murder; 28.4 percent of rape and "attacks upon women" (19 percent of rape and 9.4 percent of "attacks upon women")); 17.8 percent of crimes against the person other than those already mentioned and against property; 12 per cent were charged with numerous crimes and in 3.8 per cent of cases no crime at all was charged. "It is apparent that lynchings of Negroes for other causes than the so-called "one crime" have for the whole period been a large majority of all lynchings and that for the past five years less than one in five of the colored victims have been accused of rape or "attacks upon women."

Atronize Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper---They Appreciate Your Trade Phila, Sends Four Delegates The Society of Friends of Philadelphia are sending four delegates to the first National Conference on Lynching which is being held here May 5 and 6, according to announcement made last night by Moorfield Storey, chairman of the conference. Two of the Friends' representatives, Esther Morton Smith and D. Robert Yarnall, are signers of the following statement just issued by the Society of Friends in Philadelphia endorsing the New York conference and protesting against the brutality of the practice of Lynching: "Lynching" "A Statement by a Committee of the Religious Society of Friends, Fourth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia. "During the last four years the thoughts of the world have been turned in one direction, and its efforts have been largely concentrated in the attempt to bring the awful struggle of the nations to a close by force of arms, or to alleviate conditions brought about by the conflict. It may be partly for this reason that we in America have neglected some problems which deserve our serious attention. Among the most pressing of these is the problem of eradicating from our land the awful crime of lynching. There were more than sixty-five lynchings in the United States in the past year. The hanging of men, women and children, the torturing and burning alive, for even a serious offense, is terrible to contemplate and contrary to the laws of all civilized lands. In most cases the crime is committed upon an untried person, sometimes for a very slight offense, sometimes for only a suspected offense. The Religious Society of Friends of Philadelphia, during one of the sessions of its late Yearly Meeting, directed a portion of its time and thoughts to this great national crime of lynching. It felt this sin to be a shameful blot on the fair name of our beloved land; it felt its injustice and barbary to its helpless victims, be they innocent or guilty, and its brutalizing and degrading effect on those who perpatrate the crime and on the thousands who often gather to see their fellowbeings tortured and killed. Above all it felt this thing to be intolerable and wounding beyond our power to conceive, to the Infinite, Eternal Spirit whose children are not white alone, nor black alone, out of every nation, kindred, tongue and people. A Conference on this subject is to be held in New York City on the fifth and sixth of May, 1919. The Religious Society of Friends of Philadelphia have no official connection with this conference but are in hearty sympathy with it. It is to be hoped that there will be a large attendance of people recognizing the seriousness of the situation courage from God and the uplifting power of His love. So alone can they be led aright in their effort to destroy forever this awful thing, and to remove from our land the shameful blot now resting upon it." French Woman Sails as Stevedore with Negro Husband French Woman Sails as Stevedore with Negro Husband NEW YORK.—A new lesson in true love has been brought to light here by the arrival of the transport Turtalabo, from France. On board, and in custody of the officers was Mile Alexandria Boyer, of Marseilles, bride to of Michael Black, a first class boatswain's mace and colored. Mile. Boyer traveled incognito for the first two days until, according to soldiers on board, she became serene and calm, the sight of burning of burnt, cork failed longer to deceive the ship's officers. Much to the surprise of the officers it was discovered that the "stevedore" was an aristocratic French woman who had fallen in love with Black and who was unable to marry in France because of the "red tape" necessary to go thru before the ship sailed. The woman has been turned over to the immigration authorities, but both the woman and man maintain as soon as possible, she is straightened out they will get married.

My dear Mr. Brown: Miss Rowena Slaughter, who presented a silver cracker tray, gift from the employees, is the oldest employee Sunday School Missionary Chicago District, Lexington Conference M. E. Church Visiting in Madison The Blade is delighted to have as its guest over Sunday, Rev. Frank S. Deanley, now of Chicago. He is a noted Sunday School worker, and will fill the pulpit at the Mt. Zion Baptist church Sunday evening. The public is cordially invited to hear this distinguished Prelate. Washington D.C. Mrs. C. M. Tanner, President of the Parents' League 1444 Q Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. Dear Madam:—Referring to past communications, and in view of loose comment and widespread emotion, especially among the colored citizens of the District of Columbia, over the so-called Metros case, the Board of Education wishes to submit the following official statement. So far as the Board of Education is aware, and only after a thorough knowledge based on the evidence in the case—numerous pictures, names of individuals, documents, passports, memoranda, official and private letters, and newspaper records and pamphlets—it can declare that there was but one teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia whose name was in any wise involved. That teacher has resigned from the system. In view of certain legal aspects of the case referred to, the resignation was tendered, and by the Board accepted, at as early a time as was possible under the circumstances, and with a careful regard to the welfare of the school children and the system. All rumors or intimations to the effect that any other teachers or officials were involved in the case are absolutely without foundation in fact. It should be definitely and finally stated that no official within the system has been discovered who was in any degree involved, except to aid in the process of exposing the unfortunate conditions found to be existent. It is a source of satisfaction to the Board of Education thus publicly to express its belief in the fine loyalty and trustworthiness of the present teaching and official force so far as this case is concerned. Respectfully, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, Signed By George E. Hamilton, President. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored (District of Columbia Branch) has prepared a petition to be presented to the Sixty-second Congress with the purpose of discrimination and neglect of the colored schools. It is stated that fully one-third of the entire school population is colored, and for that reason one-third of the appropriation for schools, provided in the District of Columbia Appropriation Bill for 1920, should be justly allotted to the colored schools. The petition prays for increases in salaries for certain colored school officials, and the appointment of colored administrators. The petition also demands that the Dunbar High School, the citizens holding that this school is to the colored what Central High School is to the white, and that a stadium should be provided for Dunbar High Schools, for which purpose $199,000 is asked. The War Department has reduced its force, and it is alleged that a number of competent colored employees have been dropped from the rolls. A feeling of discontent has been aroused, several persons alleging that they have been denied employment. The soldiers have stated that they have not been given a fair chance. Smallpox appeared in two local schools, the Birney in Anacostia, and the Lovejoy at 12th and D Streets, N. E. The buildings have been disinfected, and all the pupils have been vaccinated. Of the employees of the Department of the Interior are working enthusiastically in cooperation with the joint Congressional Committee on reclassification of salaries for government workers. The subcommittee of Freedmen's Hospital is headed by Dr. William A. Warfield and Mr. Frederick D. Henry; the subcommittee of Howard University is composed of Dr. Edward L. Parks and Prof. Edward C. Williams. Miss Jessie Faustet, a teacher in the Dubar High School, has a very interest in the Muluato in the United States, in the issues of "The Survey" for March 8th and April 19th. Under the head of Reconstruction Miscellany in "The Survey" for May 3, 1919, under the caption of "Returned Negro Soldiers," Prof. Monroe N. Work is quoted as saying among other things, that "on the other hand, they are not returning with a spirit of hostility, but they are coming to their homes with a spirit of friendship and more useful men and to help promote the welfare of their respective communities." The Survey adds, and well it might, for it is so here in the Nation's Capital, "This may be so; but conversations with colored soldiers who have served in France clearly indicate that the lesson of the war democracy has not been lost upon them. All the men seem to be glad to be involved with the war, and minds beneath that surface cheerfulness and docility no one seems to know exactly." On Wednesday, April 30th, a party of young women numbering ninety-six, representing War Camp Community Service Club No. 3, went to Camp Meade, Mary and, and entertained 300 women. The group hosted House there. Dramatic readings entitled "Temptation" and "Wanting a Husband" were very acceptably given by Miss Shelby Covington; d1, select readings were given by that prince of entertainers, Mr. Thomas Heathman, who gave "Got Your Gourd," and sang "The Seen Corner and the Say She Doe." Gladys Jones said "Ja-Da." Mr. Alonzo Percy Smalls of Charleston, South Carolina, captivated his audience by his artistic playing of the piano, rendering several selections, his "Dance of the Demons" being enclosed several times, and his "Midnight Charge of Mr. Frank Well" of the War Camp Community Service, and Mrs Julia West Hamilton, widely known because of her activities for the betterment of conditions socially, religiously and educationally. Miss Myrtle Mullin of Maitowoe spent a week here the guest of Dr. and Mrs C. A. Johnson. 5,000 NEW READERS WANTED A BIG SUBSCRIPTION CAM PAIGN IS NOW ON IN FULL FORCE All Persons Whosoever Now Have An Opportunity of Subscribing to the North west's Greatest Colored Journal.

Ripley and W. M. Bailley, wherein it is sought to obtain a charter for the Sterrs sanitarium.

THE WORD "JAZZ" ORIGINATED IN NEW ORLEANS By Blade News Service CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 7.—Lieut. James Reese, Europe, of the famous 15th N. Y., band said recently that so far as he could learn the word "jazz" originated with a band of four pieces which flourished about fifteen years ago in New Orleans. The queer little band was under the direction of a man named Razz and was known as Razz's band. It is supposed that with the passing of time the name was changed to "Jazz." PRICE FIVE CENTS NO. 44 17-18-19 300 YEARS IN AMERICA UNION DEBT CAMPAIGN ON IN ATLANTA (Blade News Service) ATLANTA, Ga., May 7.—One of the most unusual church financial campaigns ever held is now in progress in this city. All of the denominations of the city have joined hands to raise a fund of $100,000 to clear all Atlanta church property of debt. This is an evidence of unity of effort that may well be followed in other cities of the nation. NEGRO PRESS ALIVE RACE NEWSPAPERS MAKE GREAT PROGRESS JOBS ARE READING (Blade News Service) CHICAGO, May 7.—The newspapers of the race are finally and forever on the map. With more than 400 publications of various kinds in the field, more than 100 of the weekly newspapers have increased in business prestige and influence by leaps and bounds in the last five years. So great has become the influence of the newspapers that in certain sections of the South there has been a determined, though unsuccessful effort to prevent the circulation of certain race newspapers that are spreading the gospel of justice and equal opportunity. Circulation for more than a score of the newspapers has been doubled, trebled and in some instances quadrupled in the last four years. There is no event of importance happening at the present time that is not known from one end of the nation to the other in a week's time. This inter-communication has enabled the 12-000, 000 people of our group to act in unity on many subjects that in former years required weeks and months to disseminate. Everywhere editors are displaying the liveliest and most progressive interest in getting the news to the people. They increase in circulation has given them an increase in advertising, and an opportunity to raise rates, and hence it has at last reached the delightful point where race journalism has become a paying investment. The latest addition to the files of Negro journalism is the Associated Negro Press, with headquarters at 312 South Clark street, Chicago. This service, which is modern in every respect, gathers news from every section of the country and distributes it among more than 100 newspapers. The service is copyrighted.

THEY are MANUFACTURED by GLEEDEN MANUFACTURING CO. 908 Gaines Street LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS 2 Council Asked to Donate Plo in Forest Hill; Bodies of Dead Heroes to Be Returned Here Plans have been launched for a national cemetery in Madison. The matter will come before the Madison city council tomorrow night. With scores of Madison gold star parents back of the scene, its success means no dead will be returned to their native city from burial grounds in France. The aldermen are asked to donate a plot of ground in Forest Hill cemetery for the prosecution that that the matter of obtaining the war department's consent will not be a difficult matter. Several weeks ago each of the parents or next of kin of boys who died in service and are buried in France, received a letter from the war department asking them to decide what disposition should be made of the body—buried in a national cemetery in France, in a national cemetery in the United States or sent to the home address for burial. Believing that many were having difficulty in coming to a decision, Caufield secured the permission of about fifty of next of kin and sent to each a letter in substance as follows: "You have no doubt received from the War Department a letter asking what final disposition shall be made of the body of your son (or relative), whether buried in a National Cemetery in France, in a National Cemetery in this country or sent to you. You have not already arrived at a decision will you consider the following: The most beautiful spot in our beautiful Forest Hill cemetery is section (—). This section is nearly circular in outline, has many fine trees and slopes gently from all sides to the summit. If this section could be obtained for our soldier dead, not only of Company G, but all whose home was Madison or near vicinity, would you consent to the burial of your son (or relative) there? I am sure if we should unite in this the people of Madison would erect a fitting bronze or granite memorial on the summit of this beautiful spot which laths the city in am certain also that the city of Madison, thru the council, would set aside this section for us. Will you please write me very soon whether or not this proposal appeals to you. "Parents and relatives of deceased soldiers who did not receive the above letter will now know that it was because of lack of information," said Mr. Cranefield today. "It was only with great difficulty that I secured less than fifty names, while Madison's soldier dead number over one hundred. Replies which I have received lead me to believe that nearly all will approve if they can be reached. No complete list is available of all who died in service, whose home was lost. The records of the state of the uniformant are incomplete; the records of the war department are kept by organizations. It is comparatively easy to obtain the names of those who died in service who enlisted in Company G and other Madison units, but of those in the national army, marines, navy and other branches of the service no records of Madison's soldier dead can be obtained. I am informed, except by a search that the entire records of the department, something manifestly unintact, at least at the present time. Mayor Backs Plan "It then this project is carried thru it must be by the help of the newspapers," said Mr. Cranfield. "I have talked with Mayor Sayle, who approves of the plan and who will bring the matter before the council. In the meantime, I have learned that it is within the option of the war depart- M. MME. J. J. GLEEDEN, President Gleeden College of Hair Culture. ment to dedicate such a burial ground as here proposed as a national cemetery. "At this point I wish to retire from the movement in order that it may be carried on as a Madison project. My efforts so far have been merely to get the project underway. This expression seems to favor the plan." COMRADES IN DEATH AS IN LIFE COMRADES IN DEATH AS IN LIFE BY FREDERIC CRANEFIELD (One of Madison's Gold Star Fathers) EARLY in the morning of July 30th, 1917, one hundred and fifty men of Company G lined up in front of the City Hall on Mifflin street, swung into Carroll, around the corner to Washington avenue and were gone from our sight. These were none, from our streets to sewers, except a few friends and the relatives of these young boys who were marching so bravely away. I said none but that was not quite true. A little group of G. A. R. men, one with a flag, had waited long in the capitol park just opposite the City Hall and when the column formed took their rightful place at its head. Once more we saw our boys, breasted into the car windows, but the train soon was one and we saw them no more. Company G is coming back soon, but of the one hundred and fifty less than half will march up King street. Madison will give the boys who are coming back a royal welcome. The other of the greedies will stout comrades always, at Camp Douglas, at Waco and in the trenches in Alsace. At Chateau Titerry, at Fiemes, Juvisy and the Argonne they were comrades even unto death. Is it not fitting that they rest side by side in Forest Hill, comrades still? It only the boys of Company G but those from other Madison units and the ones who volunteered in Army and Navy, who gave freely all they had and conferred honor and glory on Madison. On Memorial Day in the years to come, as in the years that have passed, we will decorate the graves of those who died in the Civil War, and then—where, we will ask, lie in the grave for World Liberty? Is it not fitting that they too lie side by side. Comrades in death, as comrades in life. LICENSE DELAYED; AUTOIST IN JAIL Fifteen thousand applications for automobile licenses, said to be still unopened at the secretary to state's office, landed young Carl Hofmeister of Milwaukee in superior court this morning after spending the night in "that's all right, beat it," District Attorney Romney Roman laughed, when explanation was ended. "God bless you," shouted the boy as he ran out the door, for running an automobile without a license. He travelled for the Lee Hofmeister company of Milwaukee.

EARL WALLIS (Staff Correspondent The Wisconsin NEW YORK, May 8—Gov. E. L. Phillip and his staff left for Wisconsin at 11 a. m. today via the Pennsylvania road after four days spent in tendering a reception to Wisconsin soldiers of the 32nd division. The party will return intact with the exception of Col. John Salman, Madison and W. Y. Lee Occoni, who came to St. Louis to attend the national convention of the War Veterans. Gov. Phillip traveled thru rain and mud to Camp Mills, Long Island, yesterday, to address the Badger fighters of the 128th infantry. With him went Major General W. G. Haan and his staff. On account of the rain the review was called off and Gov. Phillip met the men in the camp's Liberty calls. McGov Tiger of 32nd Col. R. B. McCoy of the 128th introduced the governor. The band played the 22nd division march, and the soldiers cheered. "We people in Wisconsin read of your brilliant achievements with great satisfaction and pride," said Gov. Phillip. "I want to assure you that you are to return to a state in which the people will always exist. That there is a spirit of unrest in the state I admit, but it is merely a reflection of the feeling of the world at this time." Gen. Haan told the men that Col. "Bob" McCoy was "the tiger" of the 232d, and that Col. Charles R. Williams was the best quartermaster in Williams, for chief divisional surgeon, came for praise along with Col. John Turner and Gen. Boardman. After the meeting all the 128th officers came up to bid farewell to Gen. Haan. Soldiers Attend Theater Following the afternoon's trip a theater party was given at the Hippodrome and arrow" soldiers as guests of honor. Members of Gov. Philipp's party are leaving New York with the feeling of having been exceptionally well entertained. The army and city officials were particularly zealous in making a statement of the fame of the 32nd division as a Wisconsin organization has been a big factor.

YOUUMANS The passage of the presidential suffrage bill by the legislature of Wisconsin has attracted attention of all polls and has been the focus of the next campaign. In the United States fifteen and one-half million women, over twenty-one years of age, will have the right to vote for presidential electors in November, 1920. It will be an extremely important electoral reorganization; reconstruction will center in the party platforms and their candidates. In Wisconsin, in 1916, there were 447,135 votes cast by men only for presidential electors. The number of women eligible to vote in 1920 will be somewhat less than that because there are, or were, at the last census, 83,296 more men than women in this state. However, more than 400,000 women will be eligible to vote and unless Wisconsin sisters in other states a large percentage of these will go to the polls on election day. Their presence and votes will inject into Wisconsin politics an entirely new element. Many of them are inclined toward one of the major or minor parties but they are by no means so partisan as men. They are becoming keenly interested in public affairs. The war taught women a lesson which they can never forget that public affairs are their affairs, that law passed by legislatures and congress have a direct and vital influence on the state. Women will soon platforms and candidates carefully before they cast their ballots. National political committees are planning to take representative women into their councils, and committees of women will be appointed to enlist the sympathy and support of the new array of women voters. The visit to Wisconsin of Madam Breshkovsky, "the little grandmother of the Russian revolution" is of great interest to all who believe in real democracy. Madam Breshkovsky has been fighting for the rights of the people against the iron bound autocracy of St. Petersburg and for herself. Thirty years she spent in exile in Siberia, punishment meted out to her in consequence of her active democratic propaganda. When the czar was deposed Madam Breshkovsky was brought home to St. Petersburg in tromph, the highest honors were lavishly given to her by the Imperial palaces. She was an ardent supporter of the Kerensky government and intense in her denunciation of the Bolshevik with their program of violence and death. She pleads for a better understanding of the Russian situation and for sympathy with the Breshkovsky spoke at the Pabst theater, Milwaukee, Sunday evening, May 4. The appointment of Congressman A. P. Nelson, of the Eleventh Wisconsin district to a place on the Woman Suffrage Committee of the House of Representatives is a great gratification to friends of the woman suffrage cause. This committee, under the leadership of Mr. Mann of Illinois, will at once take charge of the federal amendment as soon as the house is organized after the special session gets into working business. His predecessor, campaign Mr. Nelson came out against for woman suffrage, adopting in this particular the same policy as his predecessor, Congressman, now Senator Lennox.

Mrs. Curtis is well and favorably known here and her many friends unite with them in their happiness. Two new vocal stars have arisen on the horizon in the persons of Mrs. Jas. E. Like and Mr. Geo. W. Woods. According to an official of the Police Department, applications for the positions to be filled shortly are not coming in as rapidly as was expected. How about it fellows?

HOMECOMING FACES "FIASCO" UNLESS QUOTA IS SUB- SCRIBED THIS WEEK By J. B. RAMSAY (Dane County Chairman Victory Loan) Elaborate preparations are being made to select candidates being Alyson — "Les Tertiales". The Barred Arrow is being generously displayed on window fronts. This outward show of patriotism and enthusiasm undoubtedly will impress "our boys" immediately. The first burst of excitement on the part of those who stayed at home to help, after the boys have an opportunity to pick up local news,—what are they going to think about the people who stayed at home and allowed their "spirit" to lag at the flag end of the fight? And these boys taken that attitude at Chateau "The" did not have been very proud of them. In spite of the fact that "our boys" are coming back, simulation and county content themselves with sitting back—when it comes to finishing a job—content to give merely a a blance of patriotism, enthusiasm and whole-hearted appreciation of what was done for them by the 32nd division. The Victory Liberty Loan committee has not camouflaged the situation. The loan is not going well. Slightly more than 50 percent has been subscribed. People are not responding, in spite of the fact that this is the best investment yet offered by the government. The terms are so liberal that any man who took $100 worth on any previous issue can more than double his subscription and have a year in which to pay for it. If the Victory Loan is not subscribed by the end of the week, the home coming of "our boys" will develop into a fisco Subscribe at your bank. Solicit others. "Call" your neighbor who does not display his subscriber's window card. When only the welcoming window card for the 32nd division is displayed in our homes—without the Victory card—what's the answer?

Co’se I read it in de papers ‘Bout yo’ brave and noble need, An’ yo’ service to yo’ country In huh time ob greatest need. An’ de way you won dem medals, An’ dem stripes upon yo’ coat, How you ovacome dat “Boche” When he had you by de th’oat An’ de Gen’ral praised yo’ actions So s’pose it must be true, But I’ll undahstan it bettah When it comes right straigth from you. You's a chip off dat ole block suh, Didn't argy 'bout de cost. But jist kep' right on a fightin' Dough it seemed dat all was lost.

Dat yo'd "sail on bloody seas," sub, 'Fo'e you came back home to stay. Still I knowed you wouldn't fail me Boy you nevah has (maw will) Brake faith wid yo' po' ole mammy When you had a place to fill! —Theodore H. Shackelford, In Taborian Vistor, Little Rock, Ark. BLADELETS "Pain is no evil unless it conquers us." Think less of monies and more of values. Next to kindness, patience is the greatest virtue. Thy tongue saith one thing and thy conduct speaketh another. War never settled any question unless right is victorious. We have not all learned the difference between leisure and idleness. While a man is trying to make a fortune, a woman goes and gets hers told. The meanest thing we can say about honesty is that it is the best policy. Fear is our greatest course, and opportunity to serve our greatest blessing. Neither man nor Nation is fully free until all are equal before the law. We may not fill all the pits, but we may watch thereby and warn those who pass. WHAT THE NEGRO EXPECTS OUT OF THE WAR One of the very potent reasons, if not the principal cause of the misunderstandings between the white people and the colored people of this country is the flat refusal of the former to judge the latter by fixed standards alike applicable to all men under similar circumstances. White people—and by that we mean the controlling masses of them—either will not or cannot understand that the color of a man's skin is no more a proper criterion of judging him than the color of his hair or that of his eyes; that being a man, he is moved by the same inspiration and aspiration as other men. When, in the spring of 1917, circumstances beyond its control forced our government to enter the recent war, the breast of the colored man thrilled with the same emotions as that of his white fellow countryman. He felt the same pride of country and was animated by the same spirit of loyal devotion to her cause. He was no less ready and willing to make the supreme sacrifice in her defense. It is true that looking at it selfishly he had far less reasons to feel the same thrills, the same love of the country as his more fortunate brothers. His previous treatment was not conducive to that end. Though to the manor born, he was made to feel himself but a stepchild with all that the term suggests. And yet when the test came he proved himself no less loyal than those whose lot was more favorably cast. Though denied opportunities to enlist that were open to the white, yet the records will show that he was filled with the same feeling of patriotism, the same martial spirit that forced other patriotic citizens 400,000 strong, he responded to the draft and acquitted himself as become the cause he defended. In the various drives of the Liberty Loan, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and others, he contributed to the limit of his means. It has been estimated in the millions. Beneath the soil of a foreign battlefield he also sleeps a long last sleep. The question: What does the Negro expect out of the recent war? ought not to be a difficult one to answer. He expects what every other group of the Allies expect—the victor's share. He expects of his own country of which he forms a part and whose cause he defended, a fair field and no favors. He expects to be treated as a man in Mississippi as well as in Wisconsin. He expects Old Glory, which could go 3,000 miles across seas to avenge the atrocities suffered by Belgium, to right equal wrongs at home. He expects for himself and his dear ones absolutely the same treatment accorded every other citizen under like circumstances. In the light of his recent services is this too much for him to expect out of a war waged to make the world safe for democracy? DIFFERENT MEN Writing to Mr. James H. Stover of Milwaukee, Col. Guy D. Goff, a former U.S. District Attorney at Milwaukee and now connected with the judge Advocate General's office in France says: "The boys will come back to you changed, they will come back with a new angle of vision and an increased supply of emotion. They may not know it, but they will recognize the fact that all energy is wasted unless the objective is attained." And former governor, J. Frank Hanley, of Indiana, just arrived from overseas where he has been serving in the Y. M. C. A, says: "They are different men than they were when they went over. They are serious men. Many who went over as devil-may-care fellows are returning with the set purpose of making good." While these statements were made in a general way concerning American soldiers serving in the A. E. F., it is safe to say that neither Goff nor Gov. Hanley, had in mind the doughboy of African descent. It seems to be an American characteristic to think and speak of citizens of color as a separate and distinct group, to be specifically mentioned whenever included in any reference—"Americans including Black Americans," as the German official bulletin listed the troops on the Marne salient. And yet as little as Col. Goff and Gov. Hanley intended it, they could not better describe the spirit in which the colored boys are returning home if the latter alone had been the subject of the remarks. They have indeed "come back changed." "They are different men than they were when they went over" and they do "recognize the fact that all energy is wasted unless the objective is attained." And it was because many persons forsaw this that there was much objection to their going across. "The objective"—or at least the ostensible objective—was "a world safe for democracy." This the colored people believed. They were not trained in the school of diplomacy where phrases are coined to effect results, not to express thoughts and purposes. And when the president declared the purpose of our entry into the war was to make the world safe for democracy, they hailed it with delight and entered into the preparations with their body and soul. Now they "come back with a new angle of vision and an increased supply of emotion," as Col. Goff says, and apparently without the attainment of the objective. Their service overseas has wrought wonders, not alone in their physical selves but in every manner. It has opened their eyes to many things to which they had previously been closed and given them a better grasp of themselves. You can't put a uniform of a soldier on a backwoods country bumpkin who never saw a white face without tipping his hat and send him forth to kill white men without effecting a complete change in his nature. And after a year in France—Liberal and Fraternal France—where truly "a man's a' man for a' that," he is bound to return with "a new angle of vision and an increased supply of emotion." "They are different men than they were when they went over." THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE FACTS AND FANCIES ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES Secretary of the Philippine Mission WABHINGTON, May 1. A certain individual of the St. Louis Exposition saw a ball room a brown complexioned man in lafault evening dress, and accented him with the inquiry, "I suppose you are Japanese, str?" The man addressed replied, "No, madam." "Then you must be Chinese," she said. "No, I am not; I am a Filipino," he replied. "How's that?" asked the lady. "I thought they were all savages living in the woods." "Well, I'll tell you how I came here," he said. "A month before I left the Philippines I was living in the woods, but the American Governor decided to catch as many wild men as possible, train them, and send them over here. So the American forces were immediately set in motion, we were taken from the woods and kept for a month at the Governor's palace, taught how to dress and speak a little English, and then sent over here. So here I am, just as you see." And the St. Louis lady actually believed him. That is what you would call fancies about the Philippines. The fact is, however, that the 10,000,000 Filipinos and their ancestors have been civilized and Christians for three hundred years; that the non-Christian population, according to the census of 1918, is only 500,000. Another fancy is that not until the coming of the Americans were school buildings seen in the islands, roads built, or substantial houses erected. Do you know that for hundreds of years the Filipinos have had colleges and schools, and that the University of Santo Tomas is only twenty-five years older than Harvard? That as early as 1867, out of a population of 4,000,000 people, there were 841 schools for boys and 833 for girls? That in 1892, eight years before the coming of the Americans there were 2,137 schools? "To grant self government to Luzon under Aguinaldo, would be like granting self government to an Apache reservation under some local chief." Thus spoke a former President of the United States during the Filipino American war. Exaggeration could be an excuse at a time when the dignity of the American people demanded the extinction of Filipino opposition; but do you know that the Philippine Republic, before the American occupation of the Islands, had the approval of prominent Americans who were on the spot, like John Barret, Director of the Pan-American Union, who compared it favorably with the Japanese Government? That Admiral Dewey considered the Filipinos better fitted for self government than the Cubans? That they had drafted a Constitution at Malolos which elicited the approval of distinguished Republicans like the late Senator George F. Hoar? That before the coming of the Americans they had produced national heroes like the martyred Jose Rizal, who has been proclaimed by an Austrian writer, Ferdinand Blumentritt, as the greatest man the Malayan race has produced, and pronounced by a Republican Congressman, Representative Cooper, as the noblest victim that has ever fallen into the clutches of tyranny? Possibly the geographical situation of the Philippines had something to do with the fanciful estimate the St. Louis lady had. The Philippines are just next door to Borneo, where scientists have hunted in vain for Darwin's missing link between the monkey and the supermonkey. They are close to Java, where the small country of Holland has ruled for hundreds of years through a system of native princes and royal families steeped in mediaeval ideas of government. Farther east is India with her teeming millions, divided up into scores of native states and by almost impassable caste barriers. But do you know that the Filipinos have not had for hundreds of years any caste system, blood distinction, or royal families, and that, unlike their Oriental sisters, they are the only Christian people in the Orient? People have pictured an ignorant mass of Filipinos, illiterate, poor, living a life of servitude for a few wealthy land owners and foreigners, with no houses and farms or property of their own. Do you know that seventy percent of the people above ten years of age can read and write, and that this percentage of literacy is almost as high as some of the States of the Union? That it is higher than in any country of South America, higher than the literacy of the Spanish people, and unquestionably above that of any of the new countries recognized in Europe? Do you know that there are a million and a half farms in the Philippines, and that ninety six percent of these farms are owned by Filipinos? In other words, that out of the ten million Christian Filipinos, eight million of them at least live on their own farms, with houses of their own, independent of any absentee landlord or foreign master? That ninety-one percent of the urban property consisting of houses and lands is owned by the natives of the Philippines, and only nine percent is in the hands of foreigners? Yet these are facts which have just been cabled by Acting Governor-General Charles Emmett Yeater to the War Department from the recent census estimates. The Philippine legislature recently sent a special Mission to the United States to request the fulfillment of America's promise to great independence. It is their plea that the specified condition precedent to the granting of autonomy—the establishment of a stable government—is already fulfilled. Their representations are indorsed in SUIT CASES TRUNKS TRAVELING BAGS and all kinds of Leather Goods Largest Stock in State Chas.

They are intelligent enough to properly change a nation's usages decide for themselves." MILLER PROVES IRON MAN OF BADGERS WISCONSIN'S OPEN DATE SATURDAY MAY BE FILLED BY The varsity nine arrived home yesterday after breaking even on the first conference road trip. The Badgers lost to Indiana Saturday, 6 to 1, and handed them a jacob Monday, 4 to 3. Miller turned out to be the iron-man on the trip. He pitched both battles and seemed to get better as he went the second game was his best of the season. He now holds the record of having pitched all the conference battles Wisconsin has engaged in this season. He is being carefully groomed and may be used again against Illinois a week from Saturday. Keyes is still on the undetermined list. It is not known whether or not he will be eligible, as he received a war medal. In the meantime, Barlow is making a deal with the game Monday with some opportunity batting, and may be used permanently on the infield, even if Keyes returns. Purdue may be played Saturday, which at present is an open date. The remainder of the schedule, as it stands now, follows: May 17—Illinois at Urbana. May 23—Illinois at Madison. May 24—Open.

(Staff Correspondent of The Wisconsin State Journal) NEW YORK, May 8.—When the history of our great war with Germany is written Madison's four volunteer organizations will rank high among those fighting units to which the actual winning of the conflict will be attributed. "Madison's own" has made an enviable and distinguished record on the battlefield. It was Co. G, led by the indomitable Captain Floyd Henderson, Beloit, who started the great drive of the 32nd division. It was in the dash for the objective at Ranchiers that Madison's National Guard companies established a lasting reputation. The first time "over the top" on July 31, 1918, with the thermometer at 90 will glarers remain a memorable occasion with the men. It was their first taste of battle. During the sparring for advantage before the attack several of the boys were brought in dead. The sight of the lifeless forms of their former companions filled the boys with a desire for revenge. They went forward to the attack. They met the Germans. There was a short tussle and the boche started to run. Co. G took no prisoners that day. The memory of their dead companions lying back in the trench stirred them on. Co. G spared only one foe—a sixteen year old German with a wound. A post card picture of the sixty German dead about to be buried is carried by all Co. G. members. In later battles they were not found wawning. A flames, while lying on the side of the coffin, came from a company a German shell came over, bursting in the midst of Co. G. Killing 17 and seriously wounding 42. Officers' Death Toll Heavy "We lost some of our best men when that shell struck," said Captain Henderson. "We went forward, fought and with the other companies of the tugment, held Flies after the French had been forced to quit." In the Argentine Forest the death rate of officers was terrible. In winter we lost five officers each day, said Walter. "It got so that a new officer came up with each trip of the kitchen detail. One second he侍ant at bellau Wood came in just before we attacked and none of us ever saw him again." In Five Major Battles The company was in five major battles—twice at the Meuse, at Bellau Wood, in the Argentine Forest and at Chateau Thierry. "The Germans were poor hand to land fighters," said Sergt. Marvin for auck, who has been recommended for a tour of duty cross. "They would fight well together, but quit when alone. "The German officers, every time the American barrage started, would desert their trenches, direct their men to fight pill death. Toward the end of the war the German soldiers themselves would surrender as soon as the officers left them. The American artillery was wonderful. The doughbags and antlery was antlery. When our regiment took the sword with whizzing overhead on the way to Fritz, the men would cheer. As one German officer told me, the French seldom hit, the Americans seldom missed. Our artillerymen got so that they could lend the guns on the rebel, a feat never duplicated by any of the French or English." "of Captain Henderson, who has a D.S. for bravery in action coming to him, the other officers, Capt. Normington Johnson, Jones and McPherson, who led them in battle, Sargent Millard Johnson said." "The men would follow the officers to hell. There are no timer leaders in the entire U.S. army. The officers feel the same toward the men. Facing death together has hurt an inseparable bond between them." Rather Lead Co. G Than Whole Army They never stopped. They have always been willing to carry on to the last. When we hit the Germans it was bang, and then the fight was over. I would sooner be their captain than be General Pershing himself" said Capt H. C. Normington, Earl Cattle, who helped direct the company thru the worst battles. "How does it feel to go over the top?" I asked Seegt: Frank Wisse. "We you don't feel anything at all," he replied. "The first time I went over I get up and run toward our objective. I ran a long distance but didn't seem to get wounded. I flowned on the ground.

It was in anchiers that Madison's National esting reputation. The first time with the thermometer at 90 will on with the men. and started firing. Th cotbers did the same." The Madison Headquarters company and Supply company also deserve distinguished mention. They went into battle along with Co. G. Many Madison men were killed and wounded. They handled supplies in the face of heavy fire and never failed to deliver aid. The 123rd regiment resembles a mutinist ad hoc force. Each company is more than ready to ten of the good work of the other units, but rather indifference about telling of their own deeds. Major W. J. Lorenz, 123th Field Hospital unit, followed the regiment as the advance hospital detachment of the 32nd division. Many times bombs and sheets hit all around the temporary compounds but never made a direct hit. Organization is coming back practice, as far as casualties are concerned. Even U. S. Rain Feels Good Honorable mention was given the detachment by both French and American army commanders. In the months spent directly behind the first advance lines 15,000 wounded were taken care of. Dangerous operations were performed with German artillery and the hospital all up and down the line. The men are all glad to get back loving the day I spent at Camp Merritt the men asked every conceivable question about Madison. They are "strong for America" and will be so for them of their lives. "For the dogs good here" said Captain Jimmie Dean. The men will soon be home. Company G has had a hard time since striking camp. The company has changed its quarters every day since arrival. Yesterday, a change of barracks was cheerful, this time move means a step nearer home. The Field Hospital corps has already been assigned to casual companies and Friday will be on trains bound for Camp Grant. The others will probably go to Camp Custer. An effort was made to send them to Camp Grant, but the departure of the 33rd Illinois division for Camp Grant prevented. Homeward Bound Among those from Madison and vicinity who have been found among the homeward bound 127th are: - Corporal Fred Teresa, Frank L. Connor - Frank Kres, William Bone, John Getting, Herman Johnson, Gerhard Jall Charles White, Howard Anderson - Martin Parkinson, Sergeant Griffiths, Sergeant Chester Melson Many souvenirs are in the packs of the Madison men.

Johnson eight hour bill, legally establishing the eight hour principle and time and a half pay for overtime, today was engrossed by the assembly, 51 to 41, after a sizzling, verbal battle. The assembly adopted, 69 to 23, the Johnson substitute amendment, incorporating all suggestions in eight hour bills, and enacting amendment to the original bill, after it had rejected, 44 to 43, the Edwards amendment to the first substitute amendment, excluding from the eight hour provisions all beet sugar factories. Opposition was based on the theory that farmers were excluded the measure would cause by causing farm boys to leave home to take advantage of better conditions in cities and the farmer would work his farm only enough to supply his family, as a result, it was claimed, food sales would be greatly reduced and high prices would cause extreme poverty. One of the best labor speeches ever made in the assembly was by a member representing employers—A. J. Mathison of the Fairbanks-Morse Co. Behloh. He said the eight hour principle was effective in shops, even if not in sympathy with laborers, as a pay as by employers who, have found reasonably shorter hours mean more efficient work and more contented. He said that the at times the farmer is hard pressed for time, conditions were different than in shops where eves seconds and men were speeded up to save seconds and men were forced to high nervous tension. He said that all over the United States capitalists and industrial magnates agree on conceding the eight hour principle. George Hood, Baraboo, told of difficulties in the printing business, but said he was willing to give the eight hour law a try to see how it would work. "But don't legislate only for male workers!" he shouted. "Give the women an eight hour law; don't permit the housewife to churn, cook and mend while her husband sit smoking." The lie was passed by E. F. Ganz to E. W. Knappe when the latter charged him with being unable to get enough farm help because he did not pay enough. Knappe was loudly booed when he said farm labor is being paid only $25 a month. "We pay $00 and more!" shouted farm members. Edwards favored sugar beet industry exemption declaring the season lasts only a few weeks. Marcus Johnson moved rejection of the amendment, in which the assembly supported him, 44 to 43. The substitute amendent then came up. Olson said the reason there were so many abandoned farms in the east was because of the eight hour principle. R. M. Hansen supported him. Johnson said the bill would cause a more equitable distribution of labor and reduce the number of cases so many strike. Olson replied it would cause strikes by prompting men to go to cities and increase the army of unemployed.
