COMMITTEE THANKS THE
NEWSPAPERS FOR PART
TAKEN IN BIG DRIVE
March 1, 1919

March 1, 1919
Phoenix Tribune, City.
Gentlemen: The campaign for
funds for the relief of the Near East
has closed, and in the face of most
adverse conditions, Arizona has made
a creditable showing and raised ap-
proximately $4,000. While much OF
the credit is due to the small army
Iof volunteer workers which we were
able to get to go out and solicit funds,
their efforts would have been in vain
if it had not been that the way was
paved by the newspapers of the state,
and the support which the campaign
has received from the newspapers
has been the most gratifying thing
which we have encountered.
The shortness of the time for our
preparation made the newspapers
even more necessary, and they re-
sponded to the call as they have all
through the war, and we cannot tell
how much we appreciate their sup
port.
Without the hearty cooperation
which you have given, the campaign
would have been an utter failure and
the columns of publicity matter and
advertising which the newspapers
have so graciously given were of in
estimable value.
Not alone for this compaign, but for
all the campaigns of the war, we
wish to state that their success can
be attributed to advertising, and we
sincerely hope that your readers and
advertisers will appreciate this fact
and give you the support which you
deserve, to practically balance the
national account.
Again thanking you, we are, sim
cerely yours,
CHAS. F. WILLIS,
State Director
D. GOLDBERG,
State Chairman.

Officers Confirm His Statements

Boston.-Colored officers of the
S65th Infantry, a colored draft regi
ment, arrived in Boston on the OIym
pic yesterday. They charged that they
were made the victims of a "Jin
Crow" order aboard the ship.
The charges were presented by Jas
G. Wiley, a colored secretary of the
Y. M. c. A. and were substantiated
by Negro officers
The charges state:
"Colored officers of the 365th In
fantry, S17th Sanitary Train, seth
Infantry and S5Oth Field Artillery
have been grossly insulted by being
grouped together, irrespective of
rank, in separate dining room-or.
more properly, in the tearoom on
board H. M s. Olympic; while white
shave tail lieutenants and white cap
tains and field officers of the same or
ganization, together with nurses of
enlisted mems rank, Y. M C. A.
secretaries and field clerks are seated
in main dining room with passengers
"The demand of colored officers for
fair play and their letters to General
Gearhardt resulted in his lodging
the issue by saying that the colored
officers got the same service as in the
main dining room. This paradox on
democracy has aroused the greatest
feeling of indignation among the
officers, some of whom wear Croix de
Guerre.
Does the American nation propose
to stand for this insult to her officers
who have fought SO. nobly? Twelve
million Negroes want to know, and
the world wants to know now, if the
United States means to stand behind
those principles which President Will.
son has so well proposed at the peace
conference in regard to equality of
treatment and opportunity.
General Gerhardt and Colonel
George McMaster, of the 365th, are
both Southerners of the old school,
with all its old traditions.
Feeling among the officers is ag-
gravated by the fact that the, regi-
mental flag and colors of the Three
Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry were
salvaged and lost 1t is known that
this is the result of negligence and
lack of regard for flag that was
astonishing, to put il mildly.
"The officers so Inundated feel that
not only their personal valor and hon.
or has been insulted, but that the uni
form and rank of the United States
army has been degraded and they dc
not intend to let it go by unchal-
lenged."

POINTS OUT DANGER
OF RACE SUICIDE
BY Mrs. e. |. Hamilton


There are so many different ways
of committing race suicide until l
hardly know which point to start
with However, l will first discuss
the ignorance of caring for children.
The people of ancient days did not be-
lieve in doctors as we do now. They
believed in using teas and herbs, but
now they are laid aside and the mod
ern preparations are taking their
places; but if the ancient preparations
were used more there would not be as
much race suicide
Improper Care Of Children
Parents of today are not as strict
on their children as parents were
years ago. The children are caring
for themselves instead. They dress
as they like, in low neck, low shoes
and go out during winter days without
sufficient wraps and underclothes. On
rainy days and cold days they ride
cars without hats and wear silk stock
ings all the winter. This accounts for
our young people dying so fast of
tuberculosis. There are some parents
who care more for their poodle dog
than they do their children. They will
see that he is washed and his hair
combed every day. and also see that
he stays in the house at nights out of
the cold while their children are pa
rading the streets to moving picture
shows.
Eating
Some people train themselves to
eat certain kinds of food, instead of
eating all foods that contain starch
and minerals in order to help make
up the bones, nails and hair, etc., and
not that food which has tendency
to tear down ones body by being too
rich. That is why some people die
of acute Indigestion. We should train
ourselves to eat any palitabIe food.
Narcotics w
Drinking and smoking have ruined
great number of our race. They
drink and smoke to the extreme and
similarly become internally injured
and the next thing is death.
Ventilation is another danger of
race suicide. The majority of our
people sleep without the proper ven
fi1ofi0n iY,ho1o ctoonoot air fr0,,, in
mates, whether sick or well, and the
germs spread, thus committing suicide
for the want of ventilation.
Last but not least, one of the most
important of all is the birthing of
children. If you notice the statis
tics of births you will find that there
are more babies born into the homes
of whites than colored. Why? Be
cause they have learned the modern
preventative and are saying they DOM
want any children. What is a home
without a child? One writer has said
the greatest sin one can commit is to
not have any.
rTOIu WueuCe COIuelu lue iedueTS VI
tomorrow, if the society women do not
care to be mothers? We are looking
to the intelligent part of our race for
leaders, and not to the ignorant part
where all the babies are born.
The Bible says Thou shalt not
kill" Or, in other words, shalt not
commit suicide. The taking of harm
full teas or other foul means to which
one resorts during the stage of en-
bryo is double murder. 1t is mur-
der upon the individual and it is
numbering soul that might have been
the means of making the world better
for having lived in it. Let us not go
to our graves as one who has COM
mitted double murder, but as one that
has done our part in helping to remedy
the danger of race suicide.
