AS SERVANTS ONLY

After years suspension recruiting
for the navy has been resumed. A
lot of posters are telling the wonders
Of the service in the navy. One of
the great sports Of the marines has
been taking pot shots at colored
women and children in Haiti and it
ought to be put in the posters as an
added attraction. Colored citizens
can enlist only as "mess attendants. .
The Harding administration has de-
prived them Of their rights as citi-
zens.

,MOTEN A MENACE
(From the Chicago Whip.

Robert Russa Motion, President of
Tuskegee Institute, President of the
National Negro Business League and
also holder of many high-sounding
titles, arrogated to himself the right
to speak for the twelve million black
people of America on Memorial Day
in Washington upon the occasion Of
the dedication of the Lincoln Memo
rial. Motion is man Of sparce and
meager training and is very poorly
lettered in comparison with other
men of his race. He cannot be ac-.
credited with depth Of thought or.
originality; he has merely followed in
the beaten footsteps Of his predeces-s

THE APPEAL acknowledges, with
pleasure, the receipt of an invitation
from the Trustees and Advisory
Board of the Frederick Douglass
Memorial and Historical Association
and the National Association of Col
ored Women TO attend dedication of

The Appeal., 1922-07-22

A pretty little story is going the
rounds Of the press about Robert
.Russa Motion going to the rescue of
a white woman in New York city. 1t
was a brave act, but it also brings
to mind that he was not so brave
when his own wife was thrown out
OF Pullman sleeper in 1915. Ac-
cording to the stories printed at the
time in the public press, he was not
with her and when he learned of the
affair he rebuked her for her temerity
IN going into a Pullman car.
