Winning Guess

The winner of the $25 offered by

tate broker, to the person who esti-
mated nearest to the population of Sa-
lem in the latest census is Miss Mary

timating within only six.

SECRETARY or WAR Is
TAKEN TO TASK BY
MASSACHUSETTS editor
(By Associated Negro Press)

Fall River, Mass, Aug. 1.-THE
Fall River News, one of the leading
dailies, takes Secretary of War Baker
to task for his expression on the atti-
tude of the war department with ref
erence to Negro soldiers. Says the
News:
Secretary Baker has definitely re-
jected the appeal of colored soldiers
for race equality in the army. His
reasons for that offensive decision he
gives in a letter published in the
Crisis for this month He says that
it is the policy of the war department
to assign national guard units re-
cruited from colored men to duty that
will not incorporate them in a division
composed of white organizations. For
this reason it has been decided that
colored troops in national guard serv-
ice shall be organized into pioneer in
fantry units that can be assigned to
duty, under command of corps head
quarters. Mr. Baker processes the be-
lief that 'dispassionate thought will
vindicate the wisdom of this policy
ance that the war department fully
appreciates the very creditaEle quail
ity Of service rendered by our colored
organizations during the world war,
and that in arriving at our decision
concerning the future employment of
colored national guard units, we were
guided solely by considerations bear
ing upon military efficiency. and with
no intentions whatever of discrimina-
tion between the races that go to
make up our country's population
'Is it possible that Secretary Baker
can suppose that his last statement
can be credited by any considerable
number of the people? 1t is patent
to every observer that there is a sharp
discrimination between the black and
white races. If the decision is not
stigma on the colored soldier on ac-
count of his race, why does the de-
partment not decree that Irish-Ameri-
cans or Franco Americans or Polish
Americans shall be made pioneers as
signed to the drudgery corps? 1t is
race stigma that the decision affixes
to colored soldiers. Secretary Baker
may think that the exigencies of the
situation justify the decision. But, if
so, let him try to justify it without the
falsehood that no race discrimination
is intended. OF course, it is intended"

Says the Birmingham, Ala, Age on
the subject:
Musical America thinks that that
class of songs known as Negro spirit

southern people for many years, but
it has been in,vogue on the concert
stage only short time.
at had come to full flower at the
Music Club biennial held in Birming-
ham in 1917, and since then the plan
tation songs with their mournful ira
ditional airs, and harmonized by we'll
educated musicians, have been sung
to appreciative audience in America
and England.
"But while the writer in Musical
America is not far wrong when COM
plant is made. that the abuse is in
the singing of the so-called spirituals
by white artists rather than Negroes
of the plantation environment, in the
attempted Interpretation by concert
artists who know nothing of southern
life, the artistry is all but lost.
Negro jubilee singers are never
let off until they have responded to
a request for Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot 1t is singularly appealing,
but sung by white troupe, falls flat
"Deep River is great song, and
may be rendered to good effect by
white artists as well as Negroes.
Those who heard it here in Birming-
ham by the Paulist choir, written in
l-eight-part harmony, are still haunted
by it.
