AND THE WAR Is OVER!

Now that fighting has ceased and
war is practically at an end, the report
comes that R. w. Tyler, colored war
correspondent has arrived at the
front. And again, Col. Charles Young
has been assigned to Camp Grant, near
Rockford, ILL.,, and is due there in a
few days to take command of a
"colored development battalion" 1t
seems that the gentlemen of the*mini
mum" got what they asked for.
Relative to Col. Young, the follow
ing order of the War Department is in
teresting reading:
The first move to demobilize the
army will be the discharge Of devel.
opment battalions in all camps in this
country. The development units are
composed of drafted men who did not
meet physical requirements or who
needed special drill or discipline to
bring them into full military value.
There are about $4,000 of these
troops, and their honorable discharge
will come as soon as they receive the
physical examination required before
a man is discharged.

end, and these men must be fed and
clothed for a long while to come. It
is estimated by the War Department
that the cost of equipping and main.
tanning an American soldier in Europe
is $423.27 a year. -
The American army was transported
to France at the rate of $50, 900 men
a month by giving them first call on
the shipping facilities of the United
States. If they could be brought back
to their homes thus speedily it
is doubtful that they coulds- it would
require at least eight months. It is
obvious, therefore, that we must con-
tinue to raise money with which to
maintain our army abroad.

peace for a WHILE" said Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo, "just as we

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
DONE.

When the Democrats came into
power in 1913. several colored men
were holding high Offices at Washing
ton, including an Assistant Attorney
General, Register of the Treasury
and an Auditor for the Navy, all ap-
pointed by a Republican president.
The Assistant Attorney General was
asked to resign a few days after
March 4; the Register Of the Treas
ury remained In Office for about two
months before he was called on to
walk the plank and the Auditor for the
Navy was permitted to draw his salary
about three months before he was
separated from the pay roll.
These men were regularly appointed
by Republican Presidents and con-
drmed by the Senate. Their duties
were the same as those performed by

in no way segregated or confined
wholly to the colored people.
Many colored clerks and employees
have lost their places since 1913 and
according to the Washington papers
and persons who live in the city and
are well informed, scores Of colored
persons who have passed the required
examinations and have been certified
by the Civil Service Commission, have
been refused appointments.
A colored Judge Of the, municipal
court of the District Of Columbia has
been allowed to retain his Office,
which is q local one.

HOMEGROWN AND HOMEMADE.
Food Administrator Hoover issued
a statement under date of November
s, election day, saying that if recon-
mendations of the Food Administra-
tor are put into effect, every dish
served in American hotels, clubs and
other eating places on Thanksgiving
Day, will be made from homegrown
products. But the people of the
country went him one better. On that
day they voted not only for home
grown food but for homemade goods
of all kinds. They voted to put back
into power the party that stands for
"Made-in-America." A few days be-
fore, Mr.. Hoover issued a statement
urging the reelection of a Democratic
Congress- Congress that stands for
a free trade policy, opening our
markets to the products of
cheap labor in other lands. Mr..
Hoover would have us eat from plates
made in Germany, on table cloths
made in Great Britain, with cutlery
also made in Europe. He would have
us wear clothes made in Japan, cover
our floors with mating made in China,
and buy our wool in Australia or
South Africa. But for the purposes OF

FOR JUSTICE WITHIN,

In a recent address at WASHINGTON
Bishop Charles Gore of Oxford, Eng

1T is necessary that we crush Ger
many; but it is also necessary that
the allies convince the workers that
they are fighting not only for the
overthrow of their foes from without
but are as well fighting for liberty
and justice to all classes, creeds, and
colors within. II with the overthrow
OF Germany this is not accomplished
the war will only have been partially
won. This is the thought am try
ing to get into the minds Of all the
people with whom I come in contact.

derstood that militarism is but a nee

permanent institution. Democracy

VINO have come into intimate and SYM

Not "Nigger"-Not "Negro."
(FrOm the WASHINGTON Bee.)

\rIom Cuo washington Bee.)
Bishop Wilbur Thirkield, in discus
sing colOred Americans in the South
western Christian Advocate, and in
his reply to Irwin S. Cobb, says: "The
writer means we'll, but he does not
seem to know what the term niger
that has persisted as relic of slav-
cry and has in it the sting of liquid
fire to every selfrespecting Negro,
must co."
Yes, and The Bee asserts that not
only the word "nigger" must go, but
the word Negro" We are American
citizens, the same as you, although
our skin may be dark. The white
man manufactured both terms and
the Government legalizes them and
colored Americans perpetuate them.
