Mayfair salons are already bright
with gaudy colors. Mustard tweed
coats have silver braid for decora-
tion, while vivid jade is fodelled as a
suit with a high collar OF blue and
white checked satin. Real old tartan

the color epidemic is spreading also
to hats. Quite the favorite color for

leans, and so the answer, NO" comes
loud and strong; but there has also
been seen and heard and felt. the pulls
ing of concerted thought and the flash
ings of determined Negro will, which
spell insistence upon full paruclpa-
ton in the privileges as well as the
duties of citizenship.
We may not despair, however, for
under Gods providence the black
clouds of restriction and repression
are steadily and surely lifting and al
ready the glorious sun of opportunity
is distinctly visible.
And now we may not forget our be-
loved comrades who have been mus
tered out since our last memorial and
have gone on to keep that solemn
bivouac to which sooner or later all
must go.
For them we may still retain n spir-
itual comradeship which is frequently
more forceful and of greater influence
than n physical presence, for by the
eye of faith 'we may still catch n
glimpse of their snowy robes, although
their voices are lost in the rushing
tide The memory of their loyalty,
devotion and faithful service is an in
estimnble legacy and benefaction to
every comrade and this the General
Guy V. Henry No. 8 will ever cherish.
For our comrades of the World war,
all of whom were safely returned to
us, LET us not forget to acknowledge
WITH ,becOming reverence, the inestima-
BILE favor of the God of Nations. The
strong arm of His protection was
thrown about them and safely they
were carried through storm and tenn
nest: the hazards of shot and shell :
the deadly gas of battlefieldS and the
malignant fevers of trench and camp.
The thought will be their glory and
our pride. that in Il great emergency
they offered their lives for God and
country.
Finally, as general reference and
in spirit of loyal comradeship and
sympathy which, warm and glowing,
should leap from heart to heart
through all branches of the nations
service, the sublime and touching
words of President Harding, uttered Il
few days ago at the ceremonies for the
overseas dead, appeal to us strongly
as a treasure for the living and ben
ediction for the dead. These were his
words
Never death but somewhere n
new life; never sacrifice but some
where an atonement never Il service
but somewhere and somehow an
achievement"
These had served, which is the sub
lime inspiration in living. They have
earned everlasting gratitude, which is
the supreme sOlace in dying.

LATE coLoRED OPERA MAKES A
BIG HIT.

Syracuse, n. Y.--R Nathaniel Dett's
"The Chariot Jubilee" was sung at the
third concert which was recently given
by the Central New York Music Fes-
tival Association. POst-Standard says ::
"AIr. Dett, who has done much for
the cause of music, was presented by
Alexander IL. Bowie, president of the
Festival He made Il happy speech,
and after the number had been given
with fine taste on the part of singers
and orchestra the composer was called
before the foOtlights and, in respond
ing to the long and sincere applause,
asked Nikolai Sokoloff and Professor
LYMAN to appear with him. This was
the first large performance of THE
Chariot Jubilee" in America and the
work is dedicated to Syracuse Univer-
sity Chorus. 1t possesses much merit
and will become a standard work. Mr..
Dett is Il graduate of Oberlin and di-

Harding an appeal for aid to the vic
tins of the Tulsa, Okla, mob violence.
GOV. Cox addressed letter to the
President and enclosed the communi-

says:
AT the request of the National
Equal Rights League, am forwarding
an appeal for aid to the victims of the
recent mob violence in Tulsa, Okla.
"All the citizens of Massachusetts
are stirred to the depths of these ter
rible outrages, and they look to you
for leadership in giving aid to the af-
flicted, and they will stand behind you
in any endeavor to punish the guilty
and to make such inhuman and bar
barrie crimes forevermore impossible in
this land of freedom and justice"
Leagues Appeal to President.
The appeal of the National Equal
Rights League, signed by Matthew A.
\. Shaw, national president, and Will
liam Monroe Trotter, national secre-
tary, reads:
1.-THE colored citizens of Boston and
vicinity and others in sympathy,
through the National Equal Rights
League, appeal to you as the execu-
tive head of this rich and powerful
government to take note in mind and
heart of the brutal staying of dozens
of colored American citizens by white
American mobists Mt Tulsa, Oklaho-
ma, and of their ruthless, wholesale
attacks upon women, old men and
children, by burning down all the
homes and property in the large col
ored residence and business section.
We urge you, facing this disgrace to
our country and calamity to an ethnic
group of citizens, in mercy and JUS
tice, to secure from Congress appro-
priations for immediate care of sick
and disabled, and for pensions for
those rendered permanently dependent
by the mob's destruction, or perma-
nently disabled by it, and to the fam
lilies of those slain.
1--WE request that you cause the De
partment of Justice to make immediate
investigation to the end that all per-
sons accused be protected in their
rights under the constitution.
MAY the terrible series of lynchings
which have eliminated in this message
lead you to urge upon Congress speed
v passage of the Dyer Anti-lynching
bill in order that, as you said in your
message, 'barbaric lynching may be
wiped from the banners of the repub-
lic'"
