William Monroe Trotter Reconse-
crates Himself.
(FrOm the ROstOn Guardionl

(From the Boston Guardian.)
We consecrate all of the powers we
have to fight for the immediate reign
of justice and law in the treatment of
100000 of our own colored fellow
citizens, not on the banks of the
Rhine, but on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi; not in Africa, but in Georgia.
We should lose heart if we relied
on man or men to win in this fight,
but we know as Charles Sumner once
said: Justice reigns aloft on the
throne of God and not below with the
multitude" We turn from faint
hearted leaders and cheer ourselves
with the thought, "The Lord God ON
nipotent reighneth.''

Say Chicago CoIored Officers After Fighting For Freedom
In France
SEGREGATED OLYMPIA SOUTHERN COMMANDERS
AND coLoRs LOST THEY CHARGE
BY Philip A. Payne

New York, Feb. 24.-Colored off,
GERS of the 365th Infantry, Chicago's
colored draft regiment, who returned
from France today, charged they had
been Jim Crowed" on the transport
Olympic and that brigadier general
and colonel, ranking officers aboard
the ship, had refused to rescind an
order segregating them from the
white officers.
Their charges, made in writing and
presented to newspaper men by a
colored Y. M. G. A. secretary, acting
on behalf of the officers, were sub
stantiated by colored officers of the
350th Field Artillery, the seth In
fantry and the 317th Sanitary Train,
the other colored UNITS on the trans
port.
Officers Refused Justice.
They said "Brigadier General Charles
Gearhardt, commanding all troops on
the Olympic, and Colonel George H.
McMaster of the 365th Infantry, were
"southerners of the old school, with
all the old traditions, and refused to
see justice done the colored officers

BILL BRYAN BO1S UP,

According to William Jennings Bry-

doesn't work because there are still
some railroad men connected with it.
We suppose that the theater will at

pinnacle of success in removing evil

SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1919.
JEWS OPPOSE A SEGREGATED
NATION


Short-sighted colored men who are
talking about a negro republic" in
Africa, and forgetting to agitate for
leform in the treatment of 100000
colored citizens Of the United States,
ought to know that prominent non
Zionist Jews from all parts of the
United States have sent with Presi-
dent Wilson to the peace conference
their objections to the Zionist demand
for Jewish state in Palestine.
The petition was handed to the
President by Congressman Kahn on
February s. There were 9S8 names
on the petition representing the rich
est and most prominent Hebrews in
the country.
The objections to the establishment
Of a Jewish Homeland in Palestine"
are set forth under four specific head
ings, the chief one of which is that
1.-The Jews are dedicated heart and
soul to the countries in which they
dwell under free conditions"
"All Jews" the petition states, "re-
pudiate every suspicion of a double
allegiance, but to our minds it is nee
essarily implied in and cannot by any
logic be eliminated from the estab-
lishment of sovereign state for the
Jews"
The petition also states that "by the
large part taken by them in the great
war, the Jews have once and for all
shattered the base aspersions of the
anti-Semites, who charged them with
being aliens in every land, incapable
of true patriotism, and prompted only
by sinister and self-seeking motives"
It says that those who would seek
the establishment of Jewish sover-
eign state and yet .insist on their
patriotic attachment to the countries
of which they are citizens, are self
deceived in their professions of Zion
ism, and under spell of emotional
romanticism or of religious senti-
ment fostered through centuries of
gloom"
If the Jews representing to a great
extent the leadership in commerce
and industry and the money power of
the World are opposed to ..jimcrow''
state, why should not colored men pro-
test against segregation in every
form?

HOW TO LAUNDER SUMMER FRILLS

soaps containing free alkali. Never let soak in water for very long, and never dry in the hot, bright sunshine.
 Usually it is wise to set coIored ma terials in some one of the following solutions:
 1 quart of water and tablespoon fuls of mild vinegar; or
 I quart of water and 1-2 cupfuI salt; or
 1 quart of water and IA table spoonful of sugar of lead.
 In washing colored garments never use blueing except for clothing al- ready blue.
 Wash all colored things quickly in water not too hot, with mild soap, Dry them in a shady place, and take them in as soon as dry.
 It is a good plan to pad both sides of the ironing board, using one side for ironing colored clothes and the other for white clothes only. Iron all colored garments on the wrong side. That method helps to guard against fading.
 As to removing stains from wash clothing-Javelie water is one of the most satisfactory agents-but must be used on white fabrics ONLY, and nev- CT on either silk or wool
 To make JaVelle water at home dis solve l pound of washing soda in quart of cold water, and add 1-4 pound of bleaching powder (caIcium hypochlorite.) Strain through muslin and bottle. To use in removing stains tie the stained material over a bowIt and apply the Javelle water to the stain from a medicine dropper. Let remain one minute or less, then rinse out we'll with warm water and soap.

GOING-GONE.

It S triumph Joanie dearest, when you can (under some difficult tieS) rouse a man to interest--and then withdraw behind a little veil of snow.
 That is what I did yesterday to Captain Wallis.
 Oh, girl, l can sec your darling prim lips draw down into a straight line, your soft eyes grow hard and your lovely brow corrugate disap- provingly as you read. But, friend ot my heart, take off the brakes for once and try to let yourself go. Understand me. For I am only typical girl. Loving is Woman's first nature. We all go about with our little divining rods, saying, 'Is this the man for mo? Is this the one? Oh, where is he?' And when ever man attracts us in one of the three great ways, per sonally, mentally, spiritually, we rush to learn whether or not he responds. For it is woman, and not man, whose chief business is Love and the per- petuation of Life.
 Captain Wallis committed the crime of failing to follow up at the psy- chological m oment his advantage! He permitted himself the luxury of rest.
 
 too willing to BE A REST to him. He was fresh home from the war. I too, in my way. was a warrior. I had struggled with the world for five, hard, weary years, Joan. And with out the pomp and glory and acclaim of war. So that I understood him. And gave him what he most needed yet With the coating of feminine lure. I offered him rest. The others challenged him to further conquest.
 He doesn't know women well. Else he would know when NOT to take things for granted. A man must ever keep up at least the appearance of pursuit.
 I wrote you how we returned from the tramp to Sunset Point and he, dashed and puzzled at my sudden coolness, determined to leave Lively Beach. In saying goodbye he used the word dear" l suppose there never was d woman since Grand mother Eve who had not thrilled to the core of her heart the first time a man used that little word. When Eric Wallis said it, Joan, in that crass hotel corridor, it shot through me like a galvanic current It took all I could do to seem calm.
 Still-for all that, Eric Wallis had not gone far enough to make parting a tragedy. It is the little things, Joan mine, that make love-salves of us women-the things that are re- corded day by day, week by week, month by month until gradually and imperceptibly they form strong chains we have neither strength nor wish to break. It takes time for real love to grow.
 And so I did a naughty thing. I flung a kind glance to a young man

 Hunting for the missing papers in the ruck before me was d mucn greater problem, I said grimly to my self, than that of the man who set out to search a haystacl1 for a needle. There was but one thing to be done, and that was to go through the mess systematically, rearrange and file all the contents of the drawers. Thus, only, could I be sure whether or not the missing Albany reports were among the tumbled papers.

 I worked fast and methodlcally, putting upon one side of each drawer neat little piles of papers pertaining to the school, each set dOcketed and it's location entered in the pages Of d small memorandum book l found.
 It was not until the contents of two drawers had been put in perfect order, and I was at work upon the third that l found the missing re- ports I verified them hastily, lald them on top of the desk, and cast doubtful glance at the confused mass of papers in the lowest drawer, in woeful contrast to the orderly array in the ones 1 had just finished.

He is one of those neu- tral creatures who take value from the fact of whether they care for you or not. You know, don't you Joanie-that many a man has looked interesting to a girl until she finds he cares for her? From that mo- ment she reads into him a thousand virtues.

(By Biddy Bye.)

Every dainty housewife has in her possession a number of delicate blous- es handkerchiefs, collars and other frilly, feminine bits of linen, cotton and silk far too precious to trust to the laundry. Her problem then, is to find the best way to take care of them herself. For white cotton and linen garments, first, make a soap solution by shaving 1-2 pound of pure soap, containing moderate amounts of cleansing agents, into 3 quarts of hot water.
 Work up into suds with hot water, add the clothes, and wash and rub gently Hot water expands the threads of the cloth and enables the dirt caught in the flores to fall out Two washings in the hot suds, ten min ute boiling in slightly Soapy water, and rinsing, should produce perfectly clean garments.
 To starch fine cottons and linens. make a rice starch as follows: Cook ? cupfuls of rice in i quart of water until rice is soft. As water evaporates fill up the vessel to keep the full quart When the rice is cooked add another quart of boiling water, strain through a coarst cloth. without squeezing, and use while hot.
 White goods should be allowed to dry completely on the line in the sun, then damper 4d and rolled for ironing.
 For washing delicate Woolens use some of the prepared soap flakes and lukewarm water. Have two bowls or tubs ready. Make a warm soap suds and soak the wool garment in it for 5 minutes. Add a little hot water to keep the temperature even and lift the cloth up and down in the water, and draw through the hands without rub ping. Remove to second tub of soapy warm water and dip up and down. Rinse in several lukeWarm waters run through a loose set Wringer, or squeeze gently, not wiring, with the hands, and put to dry in a slightly warm place. Pull into shape with the hands as the ment dries. Sweaters and wool coats should not be hung up, but should be spread flat on clean sheets or papers, and pulled into iron smooth Woolen do it by pressing with a warm iron, over layer of cheesecloth.
 Wash silks like wool, avoiding strong soaps and hard rubbing. Wiring gently by hand. wrap in heavy towels, and iron on the wrong side while still damp, using a moderate iron. Push the iron back and forth with a wriggling motion to make silk soft and pliable.

MAE MURRAY AT THE, PALACE

The admirers of Mae Murray and if the audience at yesterdays presen- tation of The Scarlet Shadow" is any criterion their name is legion, will be eminently satisfied with this latest Mae Murray production. Like every Mae Murray feature that Robert Leonard has turned out, "The Scarlet Shadow" is a beautiful and entrancing film from the artistic standpoint Mr. Leonard is a master of screen light ing. In the exteriors he has carried out great scenes and has spared nothing of his genius in the action of the photoplay. Miss Murray is seen as Elna Evans, a lovable little maid, on whose good name is cast a per petua1 shadaw because of a "scarlet strain" which her aunt alleged exist ed in the life of her dead mother. On this account the aunt kept Elna a virtual prisoner, guarding her day and night from contact with the world, fearing that the 'scarlet strain" of the mother would assert itself when the daughter came face to face with the temptations of the universe. Then a young college boy invaded the sanctuary the aunt had built around Elna. It was then that life began to take on complexities for the girl. for the first visit to the out CT world changed her whole life. It took her from the little village of Greenwood to the gay metropolis. Lots of things happened, and with lightning like rapidity, and the big situations that pile on fast one on top of the other only serve to display the versatility and emotional powers of charming Miss Murray. There are other features on the bill, includ- ing d new episode of The Red Glove with Marie Walcamp and the L-KO. comedy, "A Pair of Deuces' with the only Chinese comedian on the screen. There is an excellent vaudeville bill being shown for the first three days and includes 'The Three Walseys" in a gymnast offer ing, McNally and Ashton offer a blackface comedy singing and danc- ing turn, and Myrtle, Jess and Art, entertain with several musical instru- mentS.
