"The Little Brother" Story
Of Russian Life, Opens at
Belmont Theatre.

Interest in the dramatic problem Of
THE Little Brother" Will probably
attract good many people to the
Belmont Theatre. where the play was
presented last night by Walter Hast.
There may be less interest In theo-
logical questions than in the day when
Dumass Three Musketeers" discussed
them so avidly, but there Is n human
appeal In n story about two Russia n
brothers. separated at the outset OF
life. who years later are brought into
bitter conflict as adherents OF !rrecon-
cilaiole creeds. As 1t developed. how.
ever the CONFLICT was not very effec-
tive and the change OF heart sustained
by one OF the pair was far from con.
vincing.
Noltaire said the good that religion
has done Is imaginary. whereas the
harm II has done IL real. The schism
OF the two Russian brothers would
seem TO give color to this view.
Rdbbt Eikdn has been established for
some years In New York. where his
daughter has grown to womanhood
but he never has ceased to hone for
the recovery Of his little brother, who
was an infant in arms at the time OF
the massacre Of the Jews at Kiev
which brought about their separation.
Judith. his daughter. has not dared to
'eil MIN or her love for George Lubin
the ward OF Father Petropitch Of the
RUSSIAN Church, when the priest
comes to tell the rabbi! that the AFFAIR
must be broken of.
Priest Justihes Himself.
During the col!nquy between tho
two men RdbH Elkdn learns that
fdther Petrotftch Is the priest who all
ways was infamous in his eyes for
! having abetted the pogrom at Kish.
inev. The priest condescends TO Justify
himself az an instrument Of Cod
When Father Petrouttch has left tho
house Judith returns with Lu6in to
announce that they have been mar
ried at the City Hall and TO crave her
fathers forgiveness. Instead Of tina,
Rabbi Elkdn drives her from his home
In spite of the strength apparently
| Inherent In such a scene as that be-
tween the two men 1t had an effect OF
nrtifcial!ty. It was as If Walker
Whiteside. who played the Rabbi and
Tyrone Power as the priest, fearing
that they might overact. had resorted
to every theatrical trick to give n
sense OF restrained force and thus had
| fallen between two stools.
Little blame attached so far TO the
playwrights, who seemed to have kent
their trumps In reserve for the final
act. but II proved at last that the con.
Guiding scene OF the FIRST act was the
strongest in the play In spite of the
great revelation at the end, which may
have been n surprise TO some.
Long Run In London.
Tho play was made in England by
Milton Goldsmith and Benedict James

should appeal undoubtedly TO families

MEDICAL MEN IN CAMPAIGN
AGAINST VENEREAL DISEASES

Washington, ID. c.. Sept. 25.-An-
nouncement is made that group of
prominent colored physicians and sur
geons have been appointed by the War
Department to carrying vigorous
campaign of education, with view OF
combating the spread of venereal dis
eases in the camps and environments
of the country, where colored soldiers
are stationed in appreeiable numbers.
The physicians thus far selected for
this vitally important work include;
DR.. c. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn.
formerly editor of the Journal OF the
National Medical Association and au-
thor of numerous literary and medical
productions; DR.. Algernon B. Jackson,
surgeon-in-chief of Mercy Hospital,
Philadelphia, Pa; DR.. Roscoe Brown
of Richmond, Va. and DR.. Ralph A.
Stewart of Washington, ID. c.
According to the plans adopted it is
confidently expected that every col
ured soldier in the army will be
reached by this educational work. The
work of these physicians is to be sup
plemented by literature which has
been prepared to meet the special
needs of colored troops. This is now
in press, and pamphlet covering
these subjects simply but thoroughly
will be put into the hands of every
colored soldier in the army who is able
to read. 1t is hoped to reach those
who cannot read by specially-prepared
pictorial placards and stereopticon
slides. The last mentioned work will
be largely in the hands of a group OF
colored sergeants who are peculiarly
adapted by education and training for
this work

as O'Clock. Around Q o'clock long
lines were seen at the majority of the
registration places. The first man to
register at the 14th precinct of the
18th ward was a colored man, who
had made a bet with friend that he
would do so and for fear of losing
gold note he was out at a. m. think
ing he would hang around until 6. He
said that he had to explain his pres
euce on the corner of Patterson ave
nue. and Calhoun street to several OF
the blue coated, nickel-badged keep
ers of the laws, and each and every
one believed him-Eot, and he was
forced to do continuous walk dur
ing the wee hours of the morning;
hut he said that he had never made
S. per hour in any work that he hau
ever done and it was worth it.

FIRST NEGRO WAR CORRES-
PONDENT AND LIBER|AN LOAN
TWO NOTABLE ADDITIONS TO THE BIG ACHIEVEMENTS TO
CREDIT OF RECENT CONFERENCE OF CoLoRED
EDITORS AT WASHINGTON.
Rap w Military Happenings Western
Front in France-Uned States Agrees to Loan $50000oo
to Republic of Liberia

Liberia, in line with the request of
the conference This fund is allotted
to aid in the rehabilitation of that
countrys' public finances, which have
been reduced to a dangerously low
ebb by the cessation of trade, and to
develop production of rice and other
foodstuffs for the allies, as well as
to place on the market many of the
greatly-needed products with which
the little overseas republic abounds.
Much of Liberals commerce was with
Germany, and this has been totally
cut off since the formers declaration
of war against the Teutons.
The granting of this $5,000,000 credit
through the United States Treasury
had its inception several months ago
when Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian
Consul-General, made application on
behalf of his Government for same,
ceptibly by meeting at the White
House later, when committee laid
before the President the peculiar
needs of Liberia and made plain the
faithfulness of her people to the cause
of the allies, emphasizing the fact that
Liberia is the natural ward of this
powerful Government and that its well
fare must be safeguarded by America
in her hour of peril.
The members of the committee, who
! joined in the appeal to the President
were DR.. Robert r. Motion, Principal
of the famous Tuskegee Institute !;
Emmett j. Scott, Secretary of Tusk-
egee Institute. now serving as Special
Assistant to the Secretary of War
DR.. Ernest Lyon, former United States
Minister to Liberia and now Liberian

NEGRO WOMEN ENTER
INDUSTRY.
Prove Efficient Workers, Though
Northern-born Women Have More
Endurance Than Those from South.

Negro women are leaving the kit
chen and laundry for the workshop
and factory. They are now employed
in New Jersey, according to William
NJ. Ashby, executive secretary of the
State Negro Welfare League. In New
ark 1000 are employed in places
made vacant by the shifting of Hun
garian, Italian, and Jewish girls to
the munitions plants, which have not
yet taken the colored women workers
to any great extent.
AT first the colored women We're
paid 81 to s5 week, the usual be-
ginners' wages" said Mr.. Ashby, "but
when they were trained they obtained
advances in wages. On the whole,
employers regard the experiment as
successful"
Foremen report that northern-born
women have more endurance than
those from the South.

ALABAMA cOLoRED MAN OWNS
WORLDS PRIZE FEET.

Battle Creek, Mich, Sept. 9.-An
Alabama Negro select is owner OF
what are said to be the largest pair
OF feet at Camp Custer. So large are
his. pedal extremities that special
pair of army shoes is now being
built" for them.
When the shoes are finished, they
will be the first he has ever worn.
Asked what he did at home in cold
weather to protect his feet, he re-
piled that he went into the house"
At Camp Custer the Negro attracted
attention when he arrived not only
because he was barefooted, but be-
cause of the size of his feet. The
largest pair of shoes at the quarter
masters depot was several sizes too
small. The shoemaker measured the
Negro's ankle as Is inches but would
not even estimate the size of the
shoes being made.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 1.-Two
notable additions have been made
within the past few days to the list oil
big achievements that may be justly
credited to the influence of the recent
conference of colored editors ana
leaders in Washington.
One of the direct requests OF the
Editors, Conference in June was that
a reliable colered news-writer be sent
to France to report the doings OF the
colored troops on the western front in
France. for the information OF the anN-
ious millions of colored Americans IN
this country and to the end that the
correct story of the valor and patrlotlc
devotion of their brethren might be
told fully and in a sympathetic veln
by one of their own blood and kindred.
In compliance with this request the
Committee on Public Information mas
designated Ralph w. Tyler of Column
bus. Ohio. former auditor for the Navy
DEPARTMENT at Washington, as regu-
larly.commissioned war correspondent.
to specialize on the conditions sur
rounding the colored troops in france
and TO make daily reports of the activ-
tiles and engagements in whlch the
colored soldiers are prominent. lie
will be on the staff of General FER
shing. commander in-chief of the
American Expeditionary Forces over
haS nrOVld-
ed by Mr.. George Creel director OF
the Committee on Public Information,
for the prompt and accurate gathering
of all facts that may be of interest TO
the colored people.
First Negro to Be Named as war
Correspondent
MIR. Tyler is the first colored man
to be named as a regular war CORE
spondent by any government in the
world. He is a native of Ohio. For
seventeen years he served in various
departments on the Columbus Evening
Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal,
which gave him experience in the tech
nioue of the newspaper craft and al
forded him opportunity for association
with MANY influential newspaper men.
This intimate contact with such forces
will be invaluable to him in his labors
as a war correspondent. The fact that
he has wide acquaintance with cor
RESPONDENTS now at the front will make
ii possible for him to get news con-
cerning colored troops which, perhaps
no other colored correspondent could
secure.
The claims of a number of men were
fully considered in connection with
this important assignment, but Mr.
TYLER was finally selected as the
most efficient of those available. I'm
mediately after war was declared by
the United States on Germany, Mr.
Tyler wrote the President, rendering
his services in any capacity. He has
three sons, all of whom are at the
front in France.
