ALBANY, June 12.--Adjutant Gen
eral j. Leslie Kincaid already has re-
ceived urgent appeals for the state
war bonus from veterans or their rela-
tives who are in need Of immediate
help. These appeals have been fled
separately and will be the first to be
dealt with when the time for pay
ment of the bonus comes.
John G. Burt, of $40 East Fortieth

had built in 1915 on homestead claim
in Wyoming had been torn down and
its framework scattered by one Of his
neighbors.
Mrs. w. M. McConagle, Of so7 Ber-
gen Street. Brooklyn, whose husband
was in the 32Sth Infantry and is still
in hospital, wrote that she no longer
had credit at the grocer's and found
it almost impossible to obtain food for
her children and herself. She was in
constant fear of eviction, also, she
said.
George A. Monet. of ogdensburg
who was in the 9th Division. wrote
that he needed a duplicate discharge.
He had put his in the family Bible,
he said. when he got home from the
war, but in a spasm of housecleaning
the family Bible had been put in the
family stove and his discharge had
been burned UP.

Negro Says Greed
OF Tulsa Whites
Started Riotine
Refugee Group ON Platform
at Protest Meeting Held
by Colored Protective
Organization i'm Harlem

The African Blood Brotherhood, a
negro organization formed as protec-
tion against lynchings and race riots,
held a mass meeting yesterday after
noon at the Palace Casino, Madison
Avenue and 135th Street, to protest the
outrage at Tulsa in which eighty five
persons were killed.
On the platform were a party Of
refugees who fed from Tulsa when the
mob moved toward the negro quarters.
The commander of the Tulsa Post of
the brotherhood, who was to have been
the chief speaker was detained else
where and did not appear. His place
was taken by Richard Moore, of the
editorial staff Of The Emancpator.
The hall was filled when Moore be-
gan to speak. He referred to the warn
ing printed in the Tulsa newspapers
before the riot started for all negroes
to leave, and said that similar warn
ing in The Omaha Bee had preceded
the race riot there. The desire of the
wealthy whites to possess oil lands
held by negroes in Tulsa was the cause
of the trouble, he said, and added that
United States marines were occupying
Hayti for similar reasons. He referred
to the well-to-do negroes of Tulsa who
sided with the rioters as parasites and
"black rascals."
president Harding, at Lincoln Uni
versity, said that the trouble with pop
ular government is that citizenship ex-
poets too much from the government
Moore said. "If the colored race is to
come into its own, it must be by its own
efforts" He said that not much was to
be expected from the Congressional COM
missions appointed to investigate the
Tulsa riot.
"When white men leave their own
quarters to come over into the negro
quarter with the avowed intention of
shooting and burning, then, l say, there
is no recourse left to the negroes but
to arm and defend Themselves" he added
The negroes, he declared, were going
to live in peace with the white men Of
America, and would teach them a lesson
in peace and decency. While there were
fewer lynchings now than formerly, he
said, there were more race riots. H.
called them a shame and disgrace

Whereas, the action of the Federal

Charges of Desertion Against
g. E. Ames .Jr., New York, J,
and Lieut.. p. ]. Barone,
Buffalo, Are Proven False

The War Department yesterday with
drew charges Of desertion made against
George i. Ames jr, Order No. 1879,
Local Board for Division 65, this city,
and Peter J. Barone. Order No. 2953,
Local Board for Division No. 2, Buff
falo, N. Y.
The following summary Of the cases
George E. Ames jr. registered
twice with Local Board for Division
No. 65. New York City. Under one
registration he was given deferred
classification because Of dependents;
under the other registration he was
certified as a delinquent and later in
Quoted into the military service by the
Adjutant General of New York from a
status of delinquency, and having
failed to report thereby became q de-
serter. Registrant's error in register
ing twice was the cause of his name
being published.
peter j. Barone was given a delin-
quent order directing him to report to
the Adjutant General Of New York on
June 21, 1918, and because of his fail
ure so to report he was certified as g
deserter. and his name appears on the
list of deserters as result Of the re-
port of the draft officials that he was
in status of desertion. The records
Of those who served during tie World
War show that Peter J. Barone was
commissioned first lieutenant in the
Medical Corps August 4, 1917, and was
discharged August l, 1919. One reason
why this name was not discovered
when the list of alleged draft de-
serters was checked against the records
of men who served is that at the time
of registration the registrant gave his
address as 786 Road, Buffalo, N. Y,
while at the time he entered the serv-
ice he gave his address as 1409 Fill
more Avenue, Buffalo, N. Y"

Harding g Urges
Young Men Enter
Training Camps
Military Service Will In
crease Their Worth TO Ma
ton, He Says; Hopes for
System of Voluntary Drill
From, rhe ryibpne,s Washington Bayeau

WASHINGTON, June 12.President
Harding to-day issued an appeal to the
young men Of the country to attend
the forthcoming citizens military
training camps, which will open next
month for period of thirty days of
intensive physical and Americanization
training.
In statement, in which he expresses
the hope that young men generally will
attend the camps, President Harding
reiterates his advocacy of q compre-
hensive system of voluntary training
through which young Americans may
have an opportunity to prepare them
selves for the defense of their country.
The Presidents statement follows.
II hope every young man who can
arrange it will attend one of the
citizens military training camps to be
conducted this summer by the War
Department in each Of the nine army
corps areas.
sin this way he will increase his
worth to the nation and obtain indi-
vidual benefits of priceless value to
himself and to the community in which
he lives.
81 hope to see established in my
TEN Of voluntary military training for
at least 100000 men each year. Every
young man who is willing to prepare
himself for the defense of his country
should be given an opportunity to do So.
"Our present national defense law
established an economical and demo.
cratic military policy thoroughly con-
sistent with our national traditions. It
provides for small regular array to
be augmented by great citizen forces in
the event of national emergency. This
is our traditional military policy. But
whereas in the past these larger war
forces have been extemporized after
the occurrence of an emergency, the new
law wisely provides that the frame
work Of their organization shall be es-
tablished and developed in time Of
peace, in so far as this is practicable
through the voluntary service of our
patriotic young men. The army of the
