Washington, Feb. 27.-Residents of
Washington are making the most of
he few remaining hours in which
to prepare for the long dry spell
which will follow upon the sigma
ture by President Wilson of the reve-
nue. bill, one of the provisions of
which will make the Capital dry.
The bill with its bone-dry rider,
was taken to Boston by Secretary
Tumulty and will be presented to
the President on his arrival. If he
does not sign it forthwith it will no
less surely become a law during the
week which Wilson will spend in

worst, mas been buying up the avail
able liquor supply of Baltimore, its
last minute shopping in the wet

the Capital.
Twenty thousand round trip tickets
to Baltimore were bought Saturday,
resulting ia a congestion greater
than any in the history Of Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad and the necessity
of putting three specials Of twelve
cars each on the Washington run
Saturday night. Automobile trafice
between the two cities also exceeded
all previous records.

Washington, Feb. 27,-Waste of
many millions of dollars Of the money
of the people in military camps Of
the country since the signing Of the
armistice, through extrdvagant ex-
penditure and carelessness in hand
ling property, and systematic en-
Shaving of Negroes in the South un-
der guise of military discipline, have
been proven in uni1npeachable evil
dence presented by Representative
Dillon of South Dakota. in SEN
sational speech before the House
Declaring that the most fragrant
case of the kind uncovered by him
was that in the vicinity of Newport
News, Va, he said that the govern
ment had built there, and without
the slightest necessity, cement
highway six miles in length, in the
construction of which Negro soldiers
had been employed; that. numerous
buildings had been built for the
Morrison Aviation Field there and
on low ground which had to be
abandoned; that 500 cottages and
other dwellings of the most modern
design were built for workmen who
do not and never will occupy them;
that arrangements are even now be-
ing made to build 800 more such
houses there; that though the streets
are impossible because of mud and
water and the town of Hilton, as it
is now called, lies in swampy ground,
it is the intention to NIL In around
the houses, pave the streets and
build fifteen miles of sidewalk; and
that large bitches are being dug by
Negro soldiers at $50. month each.
Dillon said that he had found in
his personal investigation made on
the spot that mile out Of Hilton, in
a stevedore camp now part Of Camp
Alexander, he had found many open
air storage buildings, 20 by 1873 feet
in dimension and costing $3.50 each,
and in them were supposed to be
stored 400 caterpillar tractors and
fourteen armored tanks, each costing
$55,000, but that the latter were ly-
ing in the mud and rain. to become
hopeless waste. A little further
on we're twenty-four covered ware
houses, $50 by $50 feet IN dimension,
with nothing in them. Nearby he
found corrals, operated by the an
imal embarkation Division of the
army, and containing several thous-
and horses and mules, standing in
several inches of mud and with moth
ing but mud to lie in. 1t. was re-
ported to him that some of them had
been there since August 1918, and
had cost the government $249. each.
At Old Point Comfort, in the same
vicinity, Dillon disclosed several hun
dred cantonment buildings built on

NATIONAL CAPT.
Toll WILL NOT Be
COMPLETELY DRY

Washington, Feb. 27.-Members of
the different embassies located in
Washington expect great increase
in their social popularity after the
Nationwide prohibition amendment
goes into effect. Throughout the
country, the embassies will be the
only cases for the thirsty,
Under the theory that the embas-
sy is extra-territOrial and is the
territory of the country represented,
they will not be subject to the Ma
tion-wide dry" law.
While the Nation goes thirsty, the
representatives of the different for
eign countries may have their cellars
stacked with liquors.
While there has been no social
ukases issued as to whether it will
be proper or not at official dinners
to serve wines and liquors, there
is no question but the personal
friendship Of the Ambassadors and
Ministers and their corps of assist
tans will be highly appreciated in
capital of desert-like aridity.
The situation is given additional
embarrassment by the fact that Rep
resentatiye Barckley, who singularly
enough comes from Kentucky, is en-
gineering the passage of a bill which
would confiscate all of the stored
supplies which are now being cached
all over the country in cellars, under
garage cement floors and in other
places, including safety deposit
vaults.
The oasis offered by the embas-
sizes under these trying circumstances
promises to furnish questions of in
ternational propriety which may
even go so far as to require submis-
sion to the league of nations. Mem
bers of the ambassadorial corps
frankly admit they have not de-
cided upon a. course of procedure
and are anxious to remove the ques-
tion of the equipment of their tab
lets from the realm of open cove
nants, openly arrived at"
They recognize the diplomatic and
international embarrassment that
would be likely to ensure in re-
turning an American Official dinner
at which the leading drinks were cold
water and grape juice with feast
where champagne would sit en-
throned with all of its former poetic
grandeur.
BY doing SO they fear to invite
an international propaganda on the
part Of the Afd-Saloon League which
would make that of the BolsheviI1
propaganda look sickly and anaemic.
The possibilities of the Commission
of Social Contretemps are so many
that it has even been suggested that
the matter be broached at the peace
conference with the view of deciding
whether or not the problem can be
solved on the basis of "self-deter-
mination."

COIOred Photo Play Causes Up
roar In Chicago Upper
Circles.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-Excitement
ran high here Thursday. Feb. goth,
when the Board OF Moving Picture
Censors, acting upon an injunction
gotten out by three Colored ministers
of this city, ordered Oscar Micheaux's
mammoth photoplay, THE Home
steaGer," stopped because one of the
ministers stated that the play was
actual reproduction of his personal
affairs with the writer and that the
drama, acted entirely by Colored
people, consisting of eight reels, ten
ded to expose his private life. The
picture, when stopped by agents rep
resenting the Board of Censors, was
showing to crowded house at the
Eighth Regiment Armory, S5th and
Forest avenue.
A wave ur indignation swept the
entire audience when the announce
ment was made that the Censor
Board would have to review the play
the following day at the Censor
Board Room, County building. The
audience had witnessed two-reels of
the play.
A committee of prominent Chica-
goans including Bishop Fallows,
iwhite); Col. John r. Marshall, for
merly commanding the Eighth Regi-
ment; George w. Ellis, corporation
counsel, city of Chicago; Mrs. Irda
Nelson, dental surgeon; Oscar De-
Priest, ex-alderman; Major General
Morris Lewis, Uniform Rank of Odd
Fellows; Mrs. George Cleveland Hall;
Mrs. Adah M. Waters; of the Amanda
Smith home for Girls; Robert S. Alb
bott, Editor Of the Chicago Defender
and Attorney George H. Jackson, wit
messed the reshowing of the photo
play.
Following a request of the Censor
Board to give an expression, all
unanimously agreed that was nothing
in the picture, that would reflect up
on the minister's personal char
acter or that of his family. The
Board, acting upon this information,
issued permit, granting "The Home
steader" the right to be exhibited.
Oscar Micheaux, Colored writer and
producer of THE Homesteader" also
producer of the Forged Note" is
said to have based his plot Of the
play around his private life. His
unhappy marriage to a minister's
daughter, and the hypocritical role
the minister played in causing strife
in the family, are potent factors in
the right reel drama, which was
produced at cost Of $12,0OOO0.

sired that they use this Hostess
House exclusively, unless their num-
bers are so great that this particu

The official in charge of other hos
tess Houses reports that the Colored
Soldiers are crowding out the white
soldiers and for obvious reasons
this is not desirable" The memo

desirable to issue an order requiring
Colored soldiers to use the Hostess

large numbers of white women will

to have them served or accommodated

families of Coiored soldiers"
1t is our definite information that
there is only one Hostess House at
Camp Upton manned by Colored Y
W. c. A. workers and that the ac-
commodations provided for the 92nd
Division and other Colored units are
totally inadequate.
Probably no more in-opportune and
inappropriate time could have been
chosen Tor issuing such instructions,
when thousands OF Colored soldiers
are returning to America. after hav-
ing made a record in France sur
passed by none. We are certain that
you can enter into the feelings OF
these men who, many of them wound
ed, having left numbers Of their
comrades. beneath the soil of Franc,
find themselves subjected to such
discriminatory treatment.

Regiment the old 18th New York
National Guards paraded in New York
City, the entire regiment decorated
with the Croix de Guerre, Ill of it's

them honor. One Of the daily pa
pers said, in commenting on that
parade, that "the color line was for
gotten in doing honor to those who
had showa that they were men,"
while another stated that though
this (369th) regiment was composed
entirely of Negroes it made no diff
ference" Shall it be said that this
regiment, greeted as heroes by the
unanimous plaudits of all New York,
was deemed unfit to use and un-
welcome in the Hostess Houses of
Camp Upton, other than the one
segregated house for their use?

VEL
COMES HER DUS-
Ky HEROES HOME

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 27, 1919.
The most gigantic and wonderful
public demonstration ever held in
the city of Chicago. took place Mon
day when the 370th Infantry, the
Old Eighth Illinois, was welcomed
home by the populace. 1t is not
the word of an enthused individual
patriot, but the published expression
of every daily newspaper in Chicago,
and all leading authorities, that never
has Chicago seen anything to equal
the Monday demonstration. 1t was
more than an event, it marks an
epoch, and it is in this light that
the story of the occasion is treated.
Never have the Chicago daily news
papers given 80 much space in news,
illustrations and editorials to any
thing in which the Negro was con-
nected. Great full page wide head
lines, full illustrations and column
editorials announced and welcomed
the dusky heroes who achieved un-
dying fame on the world battle fields
of France.
Let it be thoroughly understood
that it was not a race event, it
was a truly Chicago event in all
the word implies, and it's effect will
be felt throughout the nation. More
than 100000 people viewed the pa
rade in which the conquering heroes
marched through the principal thor
oughfares of Chicago's famous loop
business district. Business was sus-
pended everywhere, and the enthus-
iasIa of all the people showed with
out doubt that Chicssgo, with its
great cosmopolitan population, is the
climax American city of true de-
mocracy and justice.
There was speech making by Ma
yor Thompson, Col. Thos. Roberts,
Col. Otis Duncan and others, and
the one fact impressed on all was
this: The day has come when the
door of opportunity in the United
States is opened for the Negro,
and it must be kept opened at all
hazards. ~"-
The men were attired in full mil
itary equipment, with steel he'll
NETS, rifles, cartridge belts, and the
paraphernalia with which they chased
the Germans back across the Hin
derburg line. They are the first
soldiers out of Chicago who ACTUALLY
participated in the fighting, to return
as a unit.
Looking to the future. after the
men have been demobilized, the
fighting men have returned home
with the same grim determination to
enter into civic life they used in
chasing the Huns back into their
own country. Capt. Lewis E. John
son, an attorney in civil life and
the man who built the first great
Negro Y. M. c. A., in this country
at Washington, expressed the senti-
ment of the men when he said:
when intend to get into political
and civic affairs, and we are de-
termined to be heard We sacrificed
that democracy might be made safe
and we are going to have some say
in seeing how the game is carried
on at home"

CHICAGO LEADS
IN NEGRO
POPULATION
Ry The Associated Negro Press.

BY The Associated Negro Press.
Chicago, Feb. 27-(SpeciaD Chica-
60, the second largest city in the
nation, leads all others in Negro
population, according to the latest
and best information obtainable. Sta
tistics gathered since the beginning
of the migration more than two years
ago, place the Negro population OF
the windy City" at 10000. The
section on the South Side formerly
known as the BLACK Belt" has
spread in so many directions that
the belt has increased in size until
it is now coat.
Section after section of the big
city where white families formerly
lived have been turned over to Ne
gro residents because of the great
demand for homes. Many of these
places run up in values to thousands
of dollars, but members Of the race
are living in them and keeping them,
in many instances, in much better
condition that their former white
occupants. However, there has in
too many instances been dispro-
portionate increase of rentals, and
this matter is receiving the atten-
ton of civic workers.
Demand for lahor. high wages and
the awakening Of The Negro through
travels induced by the war, together
with southern discrimination and
lynchings, are among the causes OF
the tremendous influx. While the la
Dor conditions now are greatly affect
ed by the war adjustment problems,
there is every reason to believe that
1919 will see another big migration
as soon as industrial questions are
easier.
T. Arnold Hill, secretary Of the
Chicago Urban League, said recent
ly: There have been few labor
troubles, because the majority Of the
men employed are unioni2ed. This
probably has prevented troubles
which otherwise might have risen.
There have been some conflicts
when Negro families established
themselves, but no real racial
trouble"
