SOLDIERS COMFORT.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 17.-The
National Colored Soldiers Comfort
Committee which has headquarters
in this city, at 11O5 You Street, apu
Of which Professor Kelly Miller is
President, and j. G. Napier and Ralph
w. Tyler, treasurer and secretary re-
spectiyely, has issued the following
statement relative to its intention or
nroyiding relief for the families Oh
the Colored Soldiers executed at ft'
Sam Houston last week.
"No calamity in many years has so
depressed the Colored people OF TINS
country us the execution OF the thlr-
teen Colored soldiers of the oath U.
S. Infantry at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, last week, and the sentencing
of forty-one others to life imprison-
ment. 1t was a tragedy that could
not but help cut deep into our hearts.
"While at this time, We are not
questioning the right of the govern
ment to inflict so severe and sum-
mary punishment upon men who be-
fore had rendered valiant service to
the country while wearing the uni
form of an American soldier, ana
while we do not purpose to wayer in
our loyalty to the only country we
know, we feel that it is the innocent
who must suffer most; that the
families of these executed and i'm
Iprisoned soldiers will soon be suffer-
ing for the necessities of life.
Unfortunately, and tragically un-
fortunate, the government that took
from these families support has no
provision for caring for the families
left dependent, so it is up to the race
to offer these bereaved families sup
port. The National Colored Soldiers
Comfort Committee has decided that
out of the two million ($2,0O0,OOO
dollars raised for the relief Of depen-
dents of Colored Soldiers, it will
provide for the families of the men
executed and imprisoned, under SEN
tence at Fort Sam Houston last week,
and we call upo nthe colored people
of the country to respond quickly to
our appeal for contributions, giving
what they can, if but the widows
mite. Those thirteen Colored Sol
diers met death stoically, as stoically
, as John Brown at Harper's Ferry;
those forty-one sentenced to impris.
/ onmtnt for life, met their fate un-
/ flinchingly. Now let us cheerfully,
: Loyalty and quickly respond to the ap-
/ peals for funds to aid their"bereavej
l and needy families. We owe this as
4 duty to the men who drank to the
: dregs from the cup of bitterness. Let
every Colored man, woman and child
+ now show race loyalty by responding
o 0uickly"

TENNESSEE BOYS AT CAMP

NASHVILLE GLOBES BRING
CHEER.

A letter to Rev. Henry A. Boyd of
this city from Captain C. o. Hadley,
who is commanding Campany G. Nash
ville's famous militia company now
stationed at Newport News, Va, has
just been received. Captain Hadley
extends congratulations first to The

copies o fthe paper each week so that
every member of the company has been
well posted on the news happenings
from their home city. He says. 1--WE
are now statione dat Camp Stewart,
Newport News, Va. We were in Mem
phis, Tenn, about ten weeks guarding
the bridges, and from there we went
to Camp Sewer, Greenville, S. c. We
were the only colored company in
that camp where there were $1,000
soldiers stationed" 1t was under
stood that this company received cor
dial attention from hundreds of Visi-
tors, and especially from the officers
of the Tennessee National Guard.
Among the distinguished men who
visited Company G. were Col. Rogan,
formerly Adj. Gen. o fthe state, Mai
Warren of Memphis was also a caller
as was Lieut. Rye, the son of Cover
nor ThOs, c, Rye of this state, Com
pany G. seems to have left South
Carolina about the 9Th of December
Since then they have been located in
Virginia. There is also an Ohio bat
TALON located at Camp Stewart, com
manded by colOred officers from Cor
pOral to Major. 1t is rumored thai
there will be other colored troopC
located at Camp tSewart, and tha
CompanyGa is to soon lose its identity
by being merged with another regi
ment.
Every member fthe company wa
jubilant over the reception of the com
fort bags that were given by the Nash

investigating Commit
tee in East St. Louis, with view 10
influencing the Committee in its ques-
tioning of employers of labor, as lo
the welfare features maintained III

ers. also with a view of getting some
expression as to the desirability OIL
the establishment of a branch OF the
League in East st. Louis to AID III re-
storing the social order.
The formed st. Louis group OF tne
League has been reorganized to take
in representatives from East St.
Louis and delegates from the various
welfare movements in the larger
city. A budget for work has been
adopted, and a portion Of it has been
pledged. 1t is hoped that within a
very few days strong, effective
movement will be on the way.
All of the officers of the League,
of course. are working toward the
aim, Not Aims but Opportunity" and
are trying as fast as possible, to get
the already organized Charities to
assume the responsibilities of giving
relief to those in need,
The cost of conducting the Lea
gue's work through its headquarters
in New York City has amounted dur
ing the last year. to $90,SS4.42, which
includes the special features, such as
the Conyalescent Home, and the
Boys camp; also funds handled in
the industrial field for special fea-
lures. The League has handled

Tb9 total amount handled through
Nqrious affiliated groups of the
Leag..e has amounted to $61,0OO.OO.
A copy of an annual report of the
League may be secured by writing to
Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Sec
retary, No. 1903 7th Avenue, New

Mr.. Jones will also furnish informa-
ton on means by which organizations
in other cities may affiliate with the

Fisk's Antagonism.

In answer to the repeated query:
Why didn't Fisk represent on the
program? | wish to say, | don't know.
However, when approached for a con-
tribution to the program Fisk readily
consented to aid III what they termed
worthy movement, but at the
eleventh hour, even after being adj
yertlsed, they sent their regrets, as
signing no cause.
Having oftimes in the past resigned
my personal interests to help repre-
sent Fisk University in the capacity
OF singer, | keenly felt this refusal
to assist me in benefit program
for our soldier boys.
My subcaption, Fisks antagonism,
is shown in the following: First, her
refusal to contribute to the program.
Second: The announcement of
their spring concert on the eve of
this benefit program. When before
has Fisk announced a concert so
far prior to the date? Usually two
weeks notice gives Fisk a packed
house. And this has been the Gus
tom. Fisk knew that we were cater
ing for white patronage in adver
tising so extensively through the
white press, and the announcement
of her spring concert at such a time
was a plain expression of her opposi
tion to this movement.
Third: The Fisk sympathizer who
reported for the Banner Tuesday
emphasized Fisk's narrowness when
he, with the preteXt of reporting
concerning the benefit program
burdened readers with his belabored
explanation of the origin of the
word ''Jubilee," the ownership OF
which he finally accredited to Fisk
He thus intimated that no Jubilee
Singers" should advertise except they
be under the auspices of Fisk Uni
versity.
| think those who know me bes
and of my attitude toward Fisk viii
readily concede that it is far from
my intention to bring false accuse
tion against this school. And if sucl
be the case, | have repented already
We, who are interested in this school
are asgrieved by the spirit of selfish
ness exhibited by Fisk Universit,
on this occasion for any movemen
in the interest of our soldier boy
deserves the full cooperation of all
However, that abundant success ma,
attend all future activities at Fisk i
the hope We cherish.
