ITEMS FROM THE Y. W. c. A.

As we look about US today it is amaz-
ing to see what women are doing in this
time of the worlds greatest conflict;
but when we realize it is the result Of
development through years of prepare
ton for this greater service to mankind,
it is not surprising.
The watchword the world over is
SERVICE. Women are wanted every
where in all walks Of life; our men are
called away their places must be filed.
Conditions in the home life are altered;
there must be changes and readjust-
ments, to this end women are called
upon to make sacrifices, economic, to
work and to do their best to win the
war.
The Negro women have given ready re-
spouse to the call for service and are
prepared to I'LL the many positions now
open to women. The National Assoeia-
ton Of Colored womens' Club stands as
beacon light for service through or
ganization.
In Illinois the state federation of
clubs through its hundreds Of members
is touching the homes Of thousands of
people.
In Chicago the city Federation
through the local clubs is giving its
share Of service.
Too much stress can not be laid on
the value Of organization. Every woman
should be connected with some organi.
ration because Of the power for greater
service.

their blood while they continue clandes-
timely and illegally to cohabit with those
AGAINST whom this law is directed.
Let the law of marriage stand as it is,
md trust to the pride of race both among
the Negroes and Caucasians to contract
their marriages with their own people.
The purpose of this law is to further
degrade the Negro, to make him feel the
iron hand Of tyranny so long practiced
against his race.
We should do all we can to combat the
spirit of persecution and prejudice which
eonfronts the Negroes of this country
and to assure to them every right, priv
ilege and opportunity to which every cit
zen of the United States is entitled. The
Negroes ask no favors, no privileges, no
special advantages. They ask no indul-
genee for their shortcomings, or any I'M
usual economic and educational opPor-
tunities. They ask only equal opportun-
ity-equality in the courts of the land.
We should bestir ourselves to aid the
Negroes, not embarrass them or shame
them. We should make them feel that
they are a useful and desirable part of
our people. No other people has ever
made greater progress under like eondi-
tions. They have increased in numbers
from 1863 to 1915 from $500, 900 to TO-
100000. They have advanced from al
most total illiteraey since emancipation
until today 20 per cent can read and
write. They have among them must
clans, artists, doctors, lawyers, meehan-
les, artisans; agrieulturists, bankers, ed
ucatOrs, preachers, merchants, and are
engaged in every useful occupation.
They have accumulated property valued
at 500, OOO, OOO-$7O per eapita-a mar
velous showing, a greater showing, in
deed, than has ever been made before
anywhere during all civilization. No
other emaneipated people have ever
made so great a progress in so short
time.
We should remember that the Negroes
constitute one-tenth of our population,
that they are a God-loving and law
abiding people who should be encour-
aged in their efforts to reach a higher
moral standard. We should help the
Negro to help himself.
We should not continue to put the
stamp of our disapproval upon him and
east him adrift and discourage him in an
effort to reach that moral standard for
which We all hope and continue to pray.
The enactment of this law will do that,
and will be one more step backward,
which should never be taken by a Con-
gress representing the people of America.

The latter part of April, 1916, the Hon
Martin B. Madden delivered the follow
ing address in the halls of Congress
which is worth any ones time to care
fully read it. I
For the Protection Of Negro womanhood
Mr.. Madden. Mr.. Speaker, am op
posed to intermarriage of the races. The
Negroes themselves are opposed to such
marriages. But I am opposed to legis
lation making such marriages a crime
If a white man and black woman want
to marry, it should be matter for them
to decide. I think they would both be
foolish to thus ostracize themselves from
association with their own people, and
that is what they do when they marry.
But if they want to ostraeize themselves,
that is a personal matter between them,
and should be.
To make such marriages criminal and
void would leave the children of such
marriages without the protection which
they need and should have. Instead of
lettering the moral conditions such a
law would make them worse. It would
leave many young girls at the mercy of
brutes willing to take advantage of
their virtue and then desert them to a
life of shame. cannot conceive of a
condition under which a white man
should be allowed to cohabit with n
black woman not his wife without being
compelled by law to marry her or pro-
vide for the care of their children. Why
should innocent women of the Negro race
not have the same protection of the law
which is accorded to women of any other
racei 1t will not do to say there is no
such condition as that to which I have
alluded. Everyone knows better, else
how does it happen that we have so
many people of mixed blood in the
United States.
The Negroes are willing to eonfine
their marriages to their own race, in
deed they would prefer that, but they
have a right to demand that the women
of their race shall not be considered the
legitimate prey of the men of other
races. [Applause.l If marriage between
the Negro and Caucasian is so abhorrent
as to some it seems to be, why do so
many Of the Caucasian men insist on
taking undue liberties with the defense
less Negro womeni Why do they insist
on mixing the blood Of the racesi If the
blood of both races can be kept pure by
law, all right; but who can assure iti
By all means, if we are to have q law
against mixed marriages, that law should
provide for arrest and prosecution for
bastardy, so that it will be possible to
expose those who boast of the purity of

True Colors of Red Cross Shown in
Influenza Epidemic.

Influenza Epidemic.
New Orleans, Nov. 6.-The to-
tai number of influenza cases
handled by 100 chapters of the
Gulf Division, American Red
Cross louisiana, Alabama and
Mississippi. during the period
of October 1923 is 121, 812, with
deaths numbering 1878. This
report is by no means represents
alive of the work done by the
Home Service section of the Red
Cross during the epidemic, as it
includes only 100 of the 300 chap
tiers in the Gulf Division.
Statistics from q Louisiana
chapters show that during the
above dates, the Home Service
cared for q, 623 cases of influen-
"a with deaths numbering 291.
Of these cases the New Orleans
chapter handled 2,493 with
leaths totaling Al. Probably
The greatest number of cases
handled by any one Louisiana
chapter in the report was that of
Jrowley. which cared for 5000
cases, deaths numbering only IS.
All OF the chapters have report
I'd conditions as either improv-
ing or under control.
In this deplorable epidemic the
Red Cross has come out in its
true colors. 1t has proven the
extent of its work and its ability
TO care for emergencies at homt
as well as abroad. 1t is helping
win the war on two fronts.
Here is a summary of the work
accomplished by the Home Serv-
ICE bureau of the Red Cross dur
ing the epidemic: Equipping
emergency hospitals, providing
nurses for hospitals and homes,
transporting patients. both civil
ians and soldiers to and from
these hospitals, opening free
milk depots, distributing free
Medicine to the sick and soup
and other nourishment to, conva-
lescents and making over 225, 600
influenza masks.
Its up to every American to
show his appreciation for this
Dig work, and the way he can
10 it is by responding to the
Christmas Roll Call. The week
preceding Christmas the REQ
Cross is going to have a roll call,
the keynote of which is univers-
al membership. This roll call
gives every American man, wo-
nan and child the privilege of
