=, Whitman Makes Presentation in Fifth Avenue to New
York's Own Regiment
TO FLAGS HONOR

Club, commit to your keeping the
most sacred trust ever committed to
man-the flag of the United States
of America. / charge you by all that
is sacred to defend this banner with
all the strength and power that God
has given you; but in doing so l feel
that you will never permit it to be
dishonored, to shame yourselves or
shame those who have given it to you
today. Your country will trust you
to be true to yourselves, true to the
land of your birth, true TO the record
of those other soldiers of your race
whose valorous deeds have brought
honor to these Stars and Stripes.
GO forth and fight for the cause of
humanity as those other colored pa
triots have done, but when you return
from the forts, the trenches, the
camps, the march, the battle line,
bring this flag back without one
stripe dishonored, one star obscured.
Bring it back victorious" cried the
governor.
They'll do it: hurrah for the Buff
faloes," was shouted from the crowd,
May God bless you and keep you,
the governor added, wherever your
duty may call you, and bring you back
to us to share with all your fellow
soldiers, white or black, who fight un-
der this same old flag of freedom, the
abundant measure of praise and pride
which your country will then feel for
you"
COLONEL MOSS RESPONSE.
Colonel Moss advanced toward Gov
enor Whitman and took from his
hand the new colors.
your Excellency, gentlemen of the
Union League Club, and fellow-Amer-
ican citizens he said, "in accepting
this stand of colors l wish to say on
behalf of the seth Regiment of In
fantry, which it is my pleasure to
command, that we prize this banner
more than we can express. But we
prize even more the spirit which ac-
tuated the givers. Not only does the
presentation indicate the delicate re-
spect these givers feel for our colored
soldiers, but it also eXemplifies the
friendship this club has always felt
for the soldier and patriot, VINO
sprang from slavery-a friendship
based on the principle of a square
deal for all men.
THAT the colored men of this COM
mand will protect and honor this flag
by night and day, throughout long
marches, at play or in clutch with
death itself, is something that goes
without saying, and let me say to you
today that when this war is over
there is going to be another presenta'
tion of colors here beside this club
house. Mark you well what l say to
you in this presence today, for l am

Austin, Texas. BY a recent
vote of the legislators, the ballot
is given to the women citizens of
the state. The women will pay
poll tax after 1918. Added to
14,O Colored men voters, will
come at least $50, 900 Colored wo-
men. Just as the colored woman
has made herself factor in the
educational and religious, affairs
of the race, she will forge into
prominence as a political factor
with which all who come hereaf-
ter will have to reckon.

Hickman, KY, Patriotism
among the citizens here is not
confined to any one race. The
Red Cross pig which was sold
here at auction brought the round
sum of S31S.75, this pig being
auctioned off the chapter by j. o.
West. A week ago this pig was
auctioned off and was bought by
the Hickman Bank and Trust
Company, who gave it back to
the chapter. 1t fell this time to
a wealthy colored man who pre-
sented it back to the chapter
with speech, and to the great
meriment of the crowd.

many contests that when the
question is asked-"Who won?"
the answer is: "The Fourth
Platoon as usual" At Camp
Stanley the white and colored
soldiers work together and use
the same public buildings, espec-
tally the Y. M. C. A., despite
the fact that the training school
/ is in Texas under the supervis-
ion of the Southern Department.
st. Louis, Mo-, April 5, The
Hamilton hotel, Hamilton and
Maple avenues, has been forced
to dispense with the services of
white boys as "bellhops" and
has hired girls to act in this
capacity. This is the first time
in the history of this city that
white boys have been replaced
by girls of our race. Since the
United States entered the war
many of the large hotels have
employed women and girls a ele-
vator operators and starters, but
the Hamilton hotel is the first re-
sort to employ girls as bell
hops" The hotel management
says it became almost impossible
to get white boys. So far the
services of the girls have proved
entirely satisfactory.

He argued TO anyone who questioned
HIS policy Of cutting the market price
OF the bonds, that anyone had a right
to sell any bond he owned at any price
he chose to take--and could get; and
that anyone had right to buy bond
at any price he saw At to offer-and
could get the bond for. II is the same
argument which has been used by all
Of the bond price cutterS. And in ordi.
nary times II would hold. probably.
But Mr. Gantx learned. when he was
before the district attorney, that the
United States is at war. and that there
are, In consequence, limitations to GER
tain activities which do not exist in
time Of peace.
In order to give an excuse for his
offered price for the safest securities
in the world--United States govern
ment bonds-Gantz was forced to ar.
que that they were not worth much
more than that His prosecution was
therefore possible under the sedition
law.

WAUKESHA. Wis, May 25.-Grace
Lusk completed telling the story Of
her life today at her trial for slay-
ing Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts. and
the defense began the introduction Of
expert testimony to prove her insane.
DR.. II. W. Powers of Milwaukee. in
answering a hypothetical question
nearly 5000 words in length. declared
that in his opinion the defendant was
not Of sufficient mental capacity at
the time of the tragedy to distinguish
between right and wrong. and that
she was suffering from paranoia.
The question recited at great length
Miss Lusk's early history, the fact
that she frequently suffered from
headaches which rendered her unable
to perform her duties as school teach
er. that there was an apparent strain
Of insanity in her family. that just be-
fore meeting DR.. Roberts she had suf-
relations with the veterinarian. In
the hypothetical question. stress was
laid on points which had been empha-
sized in the testimony of both DR..
Roberts and Miss Lusk.
After Miss Lusk left the stand her
aged father, A. P. Lusk. was called by
the defense and testified that when
he was on his honeymoon his wife
