while in office, told of some of the
excellent things accomplished. Fur
-hermore, he informed his hearers
how local boards had been removed
because they had treated Negro draf-
tees unfairly, and how Whenever un-
kind reflections had been cast upon
the colored soldiers the matter had
been Investigated and set right.
Mr.. Scott announced that the War
Department had consented to recon
slider the case of Col. Charles Young,
who. in all probability, would be re-
stored to actual service; nor did his
statement that colored women would
be sent overseas as Red Cross nurses

In response to the invitation of
Nine. C. J. Walker, nearly 100 white
and colored men and women, leaders
in their respective races, assembled
on Sunday, the 25th inst, in her
charming residence, villa Lewaro,"
meet the Honorable Emmett j. Scott,
special assistant to the secretary of
war.
Nine. Walker must have been in
desire to give pleasure to her guests
in calling them together in this de-
lightful place, enriched by Nature and
ornamented by the skillful hands of
men. From the back of the Villa one
overlooks a lake in an Italian garden,
beyond which stretches a most pleas
ing diversified rural scene, containing
the Hudson river, flowing with majes-
tic serenity, and the wooded heights
Of Kew jersey in the FAR distance
a scene which, in many of it's features,
rivals the view from Richmond hill,
looking towards Twickenham, Eng
land.
After an appetizing luncheon had
been served on the Villas extensive
veranda, the guests adjourned to the
charmingly furnished and decorated
great salon, and listened to music
made by several well-known artists

The Negro, properly instructed and
trained. possesses qualities that are
attractive, and useful to the white
man. A realization of his position is
absolutely necessary for the develop
ment of the new spirit Heretofore
we have taken the view that the Ne
gro is artagonistic; that he isspushing.
and that we have to keep him down
instead of helping him up. This is un-
true. 1t is the Negro with an educa-
ture and wants more, who will help
us to solve that great problem which
so many of us look to with fear 1t
is cooperation that we need, and this
cooperation can only be derived from
the educated black man. who is able
TO understand our point of view, and
who can make his brother understand
it. 1t is not the shiftless pauper that
we should encourage. Yet there are
many of our charities which have
helped these men to live a lazy. good
for-nothing existence
The Negroes salvation, like that of
all other men. lies in work And it is
as great mistake to encourage lazy
shiftlessness in the Negro as it is to
encourage it in a white man. So it is
the duty for every southerner to take
a new view of the Negro-to forgive
his faults and to maintain his cour-
agy TO rule by the wish to help him
rather than by force; to encourage in
every man the perfection of his race,
rather than fits destruction. - The

Following the concert, J. Rosamond
Johnson introduced Attorney f. b.
Ransom 'of Indianapolis, who intro
duced the hostess, Nine. Walker, 10
her guests.
Nine. Walker, in outlining the pur-
pose of the meeting, explained that
she had invited those present not only
to meet Mr.. Emmot j. Scott, but to
confer with him, and with each other,
regarding the part American Negroes
were playing in the war. Among other
things said by Nine. Walker was that
this was the time when members of
the race should forget all their differ
ences, stand toget er for the higher
principles involved in this war, and
that she noped the present conference
would tend to bring about these re
suits. Moreover, Nine Walker made
a plea to those present to continue
loyal to the country, also to the sol
diers fighting for democracy.
After Nine. Walker finished and
had been applauded, M. Ransom intro
duced Mr. Scott.

Warfare Work by the Knights Of
Columbus Committee on War Activities
By Joseph ]. Canavan.

At Camp Dodge, however, there are
thirteen secretaries, the services of
everyone of them being always at the
call of any trooper who requests them.
The same rule applies at Camp Fun
ston, at Fort Riley. Kan, where one
of the three buildings of the X. OF c..
has been given to the Negroes, ana
there is building for the Negro
troops also at Camp Taylor, Louisville,
KY. where the knights have four
tents.
As the work expands and rs the
number of Negro troops has been en-
larged, the facilities for catering to
their wants have been corresponding
ly increased in keeping with the re
Gently adopted slogan OF the organiza-
ton Everybody Welcome - Every
thing Free The baseballs, tennis
equipments, shower baths. books.

things which the knights have been
distributing to the soldiers in this
country as well as aboard the trans
ports and in the camps, rest billets
and front line trenches in France have
gone in equal proportion to the Ne
gro troops under the organizations
rule that the war service of the
knights shall be conducted without re-
gard to race, color, religion or any
other factor except that the recipient
of il be a member either of the mill
tary or naval forces of the United
States.
This regulation has been accentu-
ated in the spirit of cooperation that
has been built up between the big
Catholic relief organization and the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is di-
soldiers. of whom, like the Negroes,
there are many thousands, both in the
army and the navy. At Fort Hamil-
ton, in Brooklyn, and Camp Merritt,
the army embarkation camp at Tena-
fly, n. j., for instance, the Jewish Wei
fare Board attaches are using the X.
of C. buildings and equipment regu-
larly, with the consent and approval,
willingly given, of the Knights SUI
preme organization Similarly, the
other day, when there were six Ne
gro soldiers entraining at Port Jervis,
N. Y, on their way to Goshen, n. Y,
from where they were to start upon
their journey to training camp, it
was a group of knights of Columbus
secretaries who met them and sup
piled them with cigarettes and tobac-
co. 1t happened, however, that the
six Negro draft men did not take a
train from Port Jervis. Instead, the
Knights loaded them into automobiles
and drove them across the pretty hilly
country to their point of departure for
the camps There were only six men
in that draft consignment, but the
knights service would have been as
hearty and as general if the number
had been 600. And there have been
innumberable instances where that
larger number of men have been
cared for and had their wants pro-
vided by the knights, as the men
themselves have testified.

Unofficial reports filtering back
from the fighting front in France have
added the final touch of amplification
TO the phrase contained in German
official statement when the big drive
bv American troops was at its heights
a few weeks ago, and which noted that
BLACK Americans" had hammered
their way gloriously through the Hun
lines.
1t was not, though, until the battle was
over according to the unofficial YER
sion of the same fighting, that the
brigade commander summoned the
colonel OF a Negro regiment before
him and demanded to know in terse
military fashion. why that colonel had
not maintained better control of his
troops, and why, above everything
else. he had not stopped" his men
and kept them from passing beyond
their appointed detectives, and, in
fact. hacking their way through ahead
of their own protective barrage.
stop them?" queried the colonel.
stop them? Hell. man, how could
YOU expect me to stop them, when the
whole German army couldn't do it,
The brigade commanders reply is
not OF record, either Officially or un-
officially, but the story, is only one OF
a thousand that is being told OF the
admirable dasn and courage OF the
Americans who compose the Negro
units Of the expeditionary force and
which everyday are out there in the
thick OF the fighting and holding their
ulace in the line wherever they may be
called upon to do their military bit.
In just the same manner, the men
WHO compose those regiments are par
taking of the carefully built up welfare
work that is being accomplished on
both sides of the water by the knights
of Columbus Committee on War Ac-
tivities In fact, they are receiving
special attention, both in the camps
in this country and X. of C. huts in
France and the work among the Ne
gro troops is being broadened as rap
idly as the numbers of the Negro
troops grow, under the operation OF
tie selective service laws and by vol
untary enlistment, the latter appar-
emily being particularly inviting meth
cd for Negroes getting into the army
Under the system as it has been
worked out. the Negro soldier needs
no other countersign than his khaki
uniform to gain for him everything
of advantage offered by the knights
service. True, there are places, both
in this country and abroad, where the
knights of Columbus have erected
special huts for the use of the Negro
soldiers. But where that has been
done, it has been at the express re-
quest of Negro soldiers themselves
who in numerous instances have eX-
y pressed a preference for a building oil
their own, where they may enjoy their
own pleasures in their own way, ana
be assured of meeting their own
friends when and where and under
what circumstances they desire.
Such an arrangement has been
granted by the X. of c, upon request
of the men themselves at Camp Meade
at Admiral, Md, where one OF the
three *. of c. huts, which are looked
after by II secretaries, has been set
aside for Negro troops. The same ac-
tion, again upon request of the Negro
soldiers, has been taken at Camp
Dodge, at Des Moines, Ia, where one
of the three X. of c. buildings mas
been set aside for their exclusive use.
