 The home of MT. and Mrs. Willard Baker was the scene of very pretty and impressive wedding on Wednes- day, Sept 24, at which time their eldest daughter, Miss Mildred Hitch cock Baker, became the bride of Mr Rodney Earl Can't, of Dayton, Ohio.

The rooms throughout the house were beautifully and simply decorated with clematis and anemones. The The Rev. w. A. Mackey officiated. | The bride was most attractive in a gown of white georgette crepe, with bridal veil, carrying a bouquet of roses and lilies-of-the-valley. After the ceremony and congratulations, a delicious wedding luncheon was served. MT. and Mrs. Can't de- parted on the 3:57 train for New York city, where they are to spend few days after which they will go to Dayton, Ohio, where the groom has an excellent position. The brides going away gown was of navy blue with black velvet hat. She was the recipient of many beautiful gifts consisting of linen, cut glass, silver and two checks for a goodly sum of money.

OkUMA PLEADS FOR END OF BAN
AGAINST RACE.

Marquis Okuma, who has twice been
premier Of Japan, contributes to the
Taikan (Outlook) a strong article on
the desirability of obtaining the aboli.
ton of discrimination against his race.
Among other things he says:
despite all the talk of justice and
equality for all people, small or great,
colored or white, there still persists a
strong prejudice against our race. 1t
is a prejudice which we cannot toler-
ate for a moment.
There is no need for Japan to be
afraid of insisting on what all Justice
loving people adjudge to be right.
Japan s present development did not
originate in the desire to conquer
others. If she insists on being &C.
corded equal treatment with the west
ern powers, it is because she wishes
to lead the rest of the oriental nations
to light and civilization"
Now isn't it disgusting to think that
a great nation like Japan, with great

Trotter Not a Trimemr
(FrOm the Richmond Planet)


William Monroe Trotter is in the

pull him out over here by sending
him financial assistance. Money is
needed and it should be sent to him.
He has made most remarkable fight.
He is plucky and true to the core.
He is not a trimmer" He has not
accepted compromising appointments
and he has not sought official hon
>ors. Help is needed and William
Monroe Trotter needs this help. Ra-
cial organizations and religious
bodies should send money to William
Monroe Trotter and they should see
that William Monroe Trotter himself
gets this help.
We are proud of this Bostonian
He may have made his mistakes, but
he is not making any mistakes now
He is succeeding in doing just what
we believe should have been done by
an organized colored commission in
Paris. With the lights before us and

William M0droe Trotters ,hssas out
stripped in service to the race every
leader, who has succeeded in going
abroad. Make friends with our op

united front let us join in raising
money to send to William Monroe
Trotter in Paris, before his location
is ascertained and our natural enc
mics find a way to deport him.

TROTTER BUSY IN FRANCE

The cables tell us that William
Monroe Trotter, who is in France as
the representative of the Colored
Liberty League has petitioned Presi-
dent Wilson to inquire into complaints
that the color line is drawn in the
A. E. F. regarding leaves and other ar
rangements for soldiers.
The petition further says that
colored soldiers are Exclusively en-
ployed in the most unhealthy after
war work such as disinterring and re-
burying bodies" He adds that he is
seeking an audience to lay the case
before President Wilson,.
Robert R. Motion had the oppor-
tunity to look into the condition of the
colored soldiers in France, report to
the president and perhaps secure an
amelioration, but he threw away his
chance, as explained in an article in
another column, and rushed back to
the United States to be present at the
Tuskegee conferences!
1t will be recalled that it was Trotter
who fought the segregation of colored
department clerks in Washington in
1854 and was rebuked by the presi-
dent. Nothing daunted, he is now pro-
testing against the injustice which is
the lot of the colored soldiers who
have risked their lives to make the
world safe for democracy"

business and engineering subjects.
The preparatory courses are of high
school grade. The college courses
enable one to work for credit toward
degree from the University. AS many
as half the credits required may be
earned in this way. Students who
seek university credit must be able to
satisfy the entrance requirements of
the University, but if credit is not de-
sired, any one may register for these
courses. Many Of them are of general
value, dealing as they do with eco
nomics, history, political science,
sociology, and other subjects of pres
ent interest. The vocational courses
are practical in their nature and make
constant application of the principles
they teach. These, as we'll as the
other types of courses, will be in
creased in number and scope as the
demand grows
