CHAPTER XVI.
The Note Discorcant.

Bill had divested himself Of the
scowl. He smiled as a man who had
solved some knotty problem to his en-
tire satisfaction. Moreover, he bore
no mark Of conflict, none OF the con-
ventional scars of rough-nnd-tumble
fight. For a moment Hazel found her
self believing the Herald story a pure
canard. But as he walked across the
room her searching gaze discovered
that the knuckles of both his hands
were bruised and bloody, the skin bro
ken. She picked up the paper.
SIS this true7' she asked tremulous-
ly, pointing to the offending headlines.

coolly.

ne snorted cuntemntuously. Our best

He spread his hands In a gesture Of
real regret
"Bill's a fine fellow" he said, "and

NATIONAL TRAINING
SCHOOL At DURHAM.
NORTH CAROLINA

Durham, N. Good work is re-
ported for all departments at the
National Training School in this city
for the first month of the present
school year. President James E.
Shepard and the faculty have the
schedule of activities and coming
events mapped out with a view of
conserving the best interest of the
institution generally and the student
body in particular and they are be-
ing followed consecutively. The new
members of the faculty and the new
students have familiarized themselves
with the details of class room and
study and general service and are
therefore, doing their wodk with con
idence and efficiency.
Dr. Shepard has shown fine execu-
tive ability in the conduct of the
school, which together with the con-
scientious work done by the students
and their department when away
from the school have had a salutory
effect upon both the community
and the state. The institution has
passed the experimental stoge-p,ans
for its permanent growth have been
tried out and found sound and ade-
quate. Friends of the school who
have not seen the new campus and
cement walks should avail themselves
of an early visit to this shrine of edu-
cation.
While the school has been put
upon a permanent working basis,
DR.. Shepard believes that its larger
growth and influence will depend
largely upon the quality of work done
by the student body in the class room
and the character of service rendered
by each individual when he goes out
into the great world of activity and
completion to encounter the various
problems of life.

RACE DISCRIMINATION
AT CAMP SHERMAN

Tampa, Fla, Nov 11-A certain
alien confectioner at Camp Sherman
is in for world of trouble if the ex-
pressed intentions of Captain William
F. Murphy. Commander of the Colored
labo- battalion at that cantonment are
realized
Bishow, who runs a delicatessen
shop just inside the camp grounds,
has had little trick of driving away
the Colored standard bearers of De-
mocracy by charging them a dollar
for dish of ice cream plus the price
charged white "doughboys." The dol
lar he explained with charming frank
ness was to cover the cost of the
dishes which were broken after being
used by sable warriors, and he was
getting away with it too.
Last Saturday, however, he ran in
to cyclone when two young Phila-
delphia selective.s Corporal Hubert A.
Jeffrey and Private Roy Nelson called
his hand. They entered the store and
asked for dishes of ice cream. The
clerk told them they could take it out,
but could not eat it in there. Jeffreys
refusing to submit to such undemo-
cratic treatment, demanded to know
why if he was good enough to drill
with white men, fight with white men,
and bleed on the battle field with
white men, he could not eat with
them. Bishow then became abusive.
Jeffreys Gained him with a few we'll
chosen words and compelled the an
CRY foreigner to come across with the
order. The place was crowded with
white soldiers, none objected to the
colored men eating with them. Think
ing to secure evidence for criminal
prosecution, Jeffreys offered the re-
quired $500 in payment, at the same
demanding receipt. But by this
time the would-be discriminator, thor
oughly cowed. tremblingly refused the
money.
Captain Murphy, the Commander Of
the boys organization. was highl in
censed when he heard Of the affair
and promised that drstic action would
be taken to end such disgusting pre-
judice.

TUCSON
By S. E. NEWELL

Many thousands of people thronged
the streets Monday, November II, with
a great shout because of the world
being again at peace. Automobiles
and vehicles of every kind were NOV
ing through the streets at rapid
speed. There were trailing behind the
automobiles, buggies and wagons tin
pans, buckets, tubs and every kind
of junk representing the German
kaiser. There were some very seri-
GUS accidents in the midst of this jubi-
lee.
This is the time for very serious
thinking among negroes in America.
The actual work of reconstruction
should be the negro's chief object In
view of the fact that we have been
part and parcel of this great conflict,
we should now see to it that the
death-knell be sounded upon Jimcrow-
ism, segregation and the negro being
relegated to the rear.
Indeed, we should take a manly
stand and forge our ways to the front
Should these days of reconstruction
be painted with a damnable moving
picture film such as the birth of a
Nation?" l take the authority to an
swer MOI for the reason that in all Of
Americas great combats and struggles
the negroes and the Anglo Saxons Of
America have ben ushered upon the
stage of action to play their part in
the drama of life, side by side with
one another. If we would call Boston
Commons and get word from Chris
topher Attucks, and then get state
ment from the gallant negroes of Get
tsyburg, Bunker Hill, Fort Sumpter;
take what the Rough Riders say about
the negro at San Juan Hill; get word
also from Carrizal, Mexico, about the
brave Tenth United States cavalry.
bunch of men of the same Tenth
cavalry were called huriedly to No
gales and succeeded i'll preventing the
Star Spangled Banner from trailing
in the dust-and last but not least, let
us ask the Huns what they think about
the negro as soldier? And the an
swer comes as that of the queen Of
Sheba: 1.-The half a not been told"
We realize fully that Jehovah is a
man of war-the Lord is His name.
AS a race were are weaker far than
David, when the pride of Gath he slew.
Yet the God in whom he trusted will
give us the victory, too. He will guide
us in the battle of the right against
wrong, what though we are small and
feeble He is ever wise and strong.
Among the many things we should
do well our part in trying to make the
world fit place for all people to live
in, we should violate no laws, we
should not disturb the rights and hap
piness of the peoples, neither should
we tamely submit to anything but a
square deal When Jimcrowism is Of

and in the meantime keep our wits.
