Protest on SEGREGATION.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
through its Secretary, John R. Shil-
lady of New York, makes public a let
ter to Secretary of War, Newton D.
Baker, protesting against memo
randum issued by command of Briga-
dier4General Nicholson on February
IA, at Camp Upton to the Commanding
Officer of various colored units now
at that camp, directing the command
ing officers to- instruct their men and
their families not to use any Hostess
House in the camp except the one set
aside for. cOlored soldiers at Second
Avenue and 18th Street.
The Association entered its protest
and its request for action by the War
Department for two reasons which it
sets forth. First, because the one
house provided for colored troops is
totally inadequate to serve all OF the
colored troops at the camp at this
time, particularly in view of the fact
that the entire 92nd Division is either
in America or on its way here, to-
gether with other colored units.
Second, the Association declares
that more inopportune time to issue
such an order could hardly have been
chosen, in view of the fact that these
same men who are barred from the
Hostess Houses of the camp are those
who have just returned from France
where they fought for democracy,
many OF them being wounded and

segregated from the whites during the
journey from Brest to New York on
the White Star steamer Olympic.
One Chicago colored officer, a grad
uate of two universities, who was a
cabin passenger aboard the Olympic,
said his fellow officers were as happy
as larks until they learned, after
boarding the vessel that they were to
be separated from the white officers
in the dining saloon. He said:
eve ate in the side dining-room,
first class, while the others ate in the
main dining-room. We sent letter
to Brig. Gen. Charles Erhardt request
ing an investigation and an explana-
ton. He answered that there was no
attempt to segregate us, but that we
were fed in different sections because
of the large number aboard.
There was no segregation on the
battlef1elds Of Europe. We all fought
together as Americans through and
through, all intent on bringing victory
to the American arms and peace to
the entire world"
Every colored officer and man
aboard the Olympic declared today
that just as soon as they reached their
homes they intended to institute an
investigation to determine who was re-
sponsible for the slight toward the
colored officers aboard the Olympic.

not accept the principle of ward and

WISE SPENDING.

Are you a wise spender? Wise
spending is regarded as a highly i'm
portant preliminary to thrift by the
U. s.. Treasury. AS part of it's cam
paign for promoting popular savings
through Thrift and War Savings
Stamps during 1919, it has issued
through its Savings Division the fol-
lowing definition of wise spending,
which merits.the thoughtful attention
of every family and every individual
who would get ahead in life:
Wise spending implies the balanc-
ing of all needs and of all means of
meeting these needs and, after bal
ancing needs against means, spending
in such way as to meet the most
urgent needs, even if lesser ones have
to be left unsatisfied; in essence it
means sort of budget-making. When
family, city or state makes budget,
what it does essentially is to take a
comprehensive view of both needs and
income. It is important that not all
the income be spent on the first needs
that may occur lest other more urgent
needs appear and no funds be left to
meet them; that is, thought must be
taken so that available income can be
applied intelligently and wisely to
cover most important needs and Ito
satisfy them somewhat in proportion
to their relative Importance.
Perhaps the most important and
difficult problem in connection with
wise spending Cor saving) is to real
ize the relative Importance of future
as compared with present needs. The
temptation Of all of us is to satisfy
present needs at the neglect of future
needs. 1t is very foolish to neglect
the urgent necessities of today for the
petty wants of the morrow, but few
need very much persuasion to induce
them to take care of the present.
Where most of us are foolish or un-
wise is in satisfying petty wants of
the present rather than saving in or
der that urgent needs of, the future
can be met"

Southern colored people to plant cot

the money to the missionary fund of

THE APPEAL does not believe that

The Methodist Episcopal Church
split into two branches over the ques-
ton of slavery, but now the Northern
and Southern branches are to come
together again at the centenary. The
weakened Northern men have given
in to the aggressive Southerners and
have agreed to sacrifice their colored
members who have been asked to
form Jim crow church. So far the
colored members have refused to get
out, but they may perhaps be kicked
out.
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
given up all ideas of the Brotherhood
OF God and the Brotherhood of Man."
and at the centenary it is very likely
that the brethren will recount the
wonderful thing the church has done
for "the negro" and all will join in
