fancy / can see the look of disgu st
upon the countenance of His Honor
Justice John Jeter Crutchfield and
the stern reproach of that able jurist,
Judge d. G. Richardson as either the
one or the other pronounced the SEN
tence of tho court. The girls,-ac-
tresses were surprisingly beautiful
under the stage lights. Their cos
tunes at times were evidently Of
interest to every woman in the au-
a1ence. The gowns were expensive
and Of the latest models. The lack
or gowns and wellhigh everything
else were practically the same way.

doorway. Hello, John" he said. l

thousand dollars damages. l don't
Know how you'll get it unless you

hin If that was true the shot would
pass oyer his head. There were 9TH
ers. Then we discussed economic
conditions, the exodus Of colored Doc
pie from the Southland. Refresh.
mehts were served and they wanted
me to spend the remainder Of Satur-
uay there. | was due in Richmond
that afternoon and must laeve on the
next train.

THOSE COMICAL ANSWERS.

The, answers he gave TO queries
were as unintelligible and as devoid
OF the exact information as they could
be. In desperation, when cornered. he
usually referred the passenger to the
information bureau OH tho nsxt level
above. Then came white girl look
ing for her father He too was con
the next level" Then another. Bert
sent her to the same place. When
both returned, having found out the
deception there was a scene. The in
formation bureau nGicial returned and
Bert showed signs of great satisfae-
ton. Then came college upstart, as
black as Bert Williams seemed to be.
He wore the latest style suit and hat
and a pair of large goggles.

five DAYS NOTICE
FOR THOSE CALLED
officials Believe Exemptions
VIII Be Many.
ONLY BEST TYPES TAKEN

War Department Officials Believe the
$4,000 Men VIII BIO Drawn From tho
First 1900 Numbers.
Selection Of the new national army
VIII be under way within ten days, ac-
cording to statement made by Briga-
der General Crowder, provost marshal
general.
Tho official tabulatien Of the draw
ing at the great draft lottery on Friday
Will he completed in few days and
the result announced.
The official numbers will be sent to
The 1857 exemption boards throughout
the United States as soon as they arc
available. Five days notice will be
given to the men who are to be called
up for examination and ono a day In
each district will be examined until
the quotas are complete. WAR depart
ment officials are Of tho opinion that
not more than ten men out Of every
hundred drawn will be sound qualified
for service.
Officials are emphasizing the exact
Ing nature Of the examination which
the men must Undergo. None but tho
very finest and most lihysicaily sound
type of men will be accepted under
the terms Of tho instructions which
Will BIO issued to the examining ply
B1cians. AS n consequence, 1t Is pre-
dlcted that tho first national army Of
$4,000 men will represent the very
best physical and mental type Of Amer
loan young men.
Physical defects, 1t IS believed. will
account for the disqualification Of 40
per cent. Fifty per cent of tho re-
nainder will probably be found to have
dependents. Further TO out down the
number Of available men will be the
alien and Industrial exemptions, OF
Whtch there can be rtp accurate esti-
To secure the flrst army Of $4,000
L men 1t Is not likely the draft numbers
above 1900 will be called, Each num-
Der represents approximately 5000
men. The first 1900 numbers follow:

a COLLEGE YOUNGSTER.

He spoke III college style. Bert
scratched his head. He showed his
disgust when his son refused to obey
orders. Then he snatched his hat
from his head, and placed his red.cap
on his trembling son ordered him to
take two satchels that he (Bert) had
been carrying and announced to his
son as the latter moved off, "This Is
my graduation and your Commence
ment." He intended that the boy
should work from that time onward.
This "boy" proved later to he one of
the white actors and it was evident
that he wanted it. to DO known for
when he partially removed his dis
guise, he announced that Bert was
not his real father.

BERT WILLIAMS.

Have you ever seen this popular
and famous colored htmorist and ac-
tor? l have. first met him in the
Broad Street Station at Philadelphia.
Or the stage, he is fine looking,
majestic and commanding in appear
ance, being usually accompanied by
his undorstudy, called by his admirers
his valet. I saw him again in Rich
mond city at Miller's Hotel where
he was having good time with his
associates, having loaned his name
and presence" to advertise and boost
an aggregation of New York musical
artists who were giving an entertain
ment in the City Auditorium. On
neither occasion did our feelings seem
to be mutual. I gravitate to the
higher ideals and he to the lower
ones.

DIDN'T SEX MIR EHROL.

l looked in vain for Edward Enrol,
the star performer in previous Zieg-
field Follies and q man who above all
others seemed capable Of drawing out
of Bert Williams nll of the best
theatrical qualities in 'him. But l
was content. The staging OF passing
events, tho posing of men as Wash
ington, Lincoln and Wilson were
theatrical masterpieces. No ono in
that vast audience so far as l observ-
ed regretted the price paid "to see
tho show" l walked out ono Of the
exits with Robinson trailing behind
l had entered on one street and
found myself on another. We went
over to Brooklyn. A few moments
later both had retired.

fnfantile Paralysis Cases.

With two cases Of infantile pa
ralysis reported, New Castle, Pa,
authorities are taking every precau.

A strict quarantine has been ordered
for all homes where cases are found to
be existing.

IN BALTIMORE AT LAST.

Arriving in Baltimore having had
breakfast on the dining car, l could
not locate any one over the telephone,
so took motor bus for 81 Saratoga
St, where I met Attorney William c.
McCard, my forner X. OF p. enemy
ana one of Supreme Chancellor
Green's counsels. He made mo well
come. Come in John" was his ex-
preston. We talke3 over matters.
We're going to lick you in the Court
OF Appeals he said. / reminded him
that he had been Of that opinion with
reference to the Supreme Court. l
assured him that he had no more
chance Of winning that appeal than
did bobtailed mule in fy-time.
Virginia was considering the prob.
ability of taking that ten thousand
dollars which had been put up to re-
lmburso the Grand Lodge, X. of P of
Virginia.

commenced. Bert Williams comical

previously announced that he could
read words Of three letters. Tho posi-

Say Germans May Have Lost 100000

The German losses since their
counter offensive was opened against
the French on the Aisne river
front, was estimated by competent
military critics at from $4,000 to 1O0,-
900 men. These figures include killed,
wounded and pisoners.

a GREAT BARGAIN.

The next morning after breakfast,
IN company with Rev. w. M. Moss, d.
d., l went to the Mergenthaler Limo
type factory where I parted company
with Robinson Davis. He wanted
some gum and he went into store to
get 1t. When he came out both CT us
had disappeared. Rev. DR.. Moss and
his congregation, had purchased q
large spacious church ediflce formerly
occupied by the Central Baptist
Church (white). 1t has lot 100 feet
wide by 103 feet deep and the rcd
brick structure covers almost the en-
tire lot. It's seating capacity is 1900.
1t has main auditorium, galleries,
circular pews, cushions, Sunday
uchool rooms, library, piano. and
organ that Originally cost $1,000, car
peted floors and hard wood furnish.

A BRIDES PREPARATIONS

Then followed other humorous
scenes. They staged n bride and
would you believe it? She was COM
pleting her toilet preparatory to tho
bridal ceremony. After scanning her
operations every one in that audience
was able to tel the texture quality and
shape Of woll-nigh everything she
wore. She was surprisingly beau
tlful. No wonder men and women
struggle to see this aggregation Of
talent. It was organized to attrac..
and draw both money and tho elite,
the rich and those in moderate cir
cumstances. 1t had drawn me, al
though l came primarily to SEQ Bert
Williams.

A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFF
FERENCE.

When I saw him in Philadelphia
with this same aggregation Of white
talent, he represented the simple good
natured rollicking Negro Of other
days and never the modern, cultivated,
independent self-supporting colored
citizen OF today. But he showed rare
talent and it may be said in his favor
that he made friends for his people
and never enemies. So it was in New
York on July 10th, 1917 when the cur
tain went up with scene represent
ing the Information Bureau in the
New York Central Depot, a white Of
fetal was soon supplemented and aided

MARVELOUSLY GRAND.

AT times l could almost see nature,
unadorned and other times could see
nature fully attirod In everything this
world affords. The scenic effects we're
marvclously grand and It was incon-
ceivable to the ordinary mind how
such magnificent aggregation Of
talent could be grouped together upon
one stage. The follies of man and
womankind were relentlessly shown
and tho vast audience that had s,rug-
gled for admission some paying as
high as $500 and $1,000 per night
felt that they had been fully repaid
for this expenditure of money during
war times.
