branch of the National League for Won
en- s Service in New York City. If you
can imagine the feeling of man in the
desert, coming unexpectedly upon an
oasis, you will appreciate the surprise
and Joy of colored soldiers, lying wound
ed in New York hospitals, at sight OF
women of their own race to comfort and
cheer them as they had so often seen
their white brothers visited by other
members of the League.
While the work of the Hayward Unit
NAV not be as extensive or as far-reach-
ing as that of other departments, in
point of personal service and results ac-
complished it is excelled by none.

TRIAL AT ROCKFORD IN FULL
SWING

Rockford, ILL.,, Aug. s.-The much
aeralded trial of the fourteen colored
men charged with attacking a white
woman was resumed Monday, August 4.
The trial was temporarily halted for
two weeks after one of the defendants,
Garfield Walker, had pleaded insanity.
After having gone through thorough
test by expert psychological examiners,
who are appointed by President Wilson,
he was pronounced normal.
The evidence already submitted has
shown that the woman in question had
no authority TO have been in the bounds
of the camp at the time the crime was
supposed to have been committed.
Colonel Charles Young, ranking col
ored officer, is sitting as presiding judge,
and we cannot believe that anything but
iustice will be dealt out to these men.
Colonel Young has always been fair and
impartial and we expect him to render
% verdict that will be in keeping with
bis past record.

WASHINGTON COLORED
PEOPLE MEET To
CHECK CRIME
Insist on Peace

Washington, Aug. s.-Every effort to
check the crime wave in Washington, in
so far as colored criminals are impli-
Gated, is being made by the Parents
league, which, with its 10000 members,
constitutes the most powerful organiza-
tion of colored people in the district.
The Rev. DIR. James l.. Pinn, one of
the officers of the league, stated today
that mass meeting of the 10000 mem
bers of the league will be held in and
around the Metropolitan African Meth
odist Episcopal church tomorrow night
TO formulate plans whereby the crime
wave can be best abated through CO.
operation.
DIR. Pinn stated that police protection
would not be asked for the meeting, in
asmuch as the Parents league will toll
crate no incendiary speeches, and that
the meeting will be orderly, and called
only for the purpose of enlisting the aid
of the best elements of colored people in
the district to help check recurring as
saults by colored criminals on white wo-
men.
