 Of the supporting cast, George Probert proved especially pleasing: a manly and likeable leading man; and credit too belongs to John Stepping as the theatrical manager; to Will liam Orlanmond, Rex Cherryman, Albert Cody, Gertrude Claire and to Mrs. Woodthorpe.

TWENTY-SIX LYNcHINGS IN
1928 AS AGAINST 81
DURING 1922
Decline in Mob Murders Laid to Agi-
tation for Federal Law and
Migration
Mississippi and Florida Lead With
Five Each

New York-Sharp decline in the
number Of lynchings in the United
States during the year 1928, the figure
being 20 as against 81 in 1922, was
laid to the agitation for a federal anti
lynching law and to the northward
migration Of Negroes as stated by
James Weldon Johnson, Secretary Of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, 90 Fifth
Avenue, New York, recently.
Mississippi and Florida lead the list
of lynching states with 5 mob MUIR
ders each. Georgia is second with 4.
Oklahoma is third with 8. Arkansas,
Alabama and Texas have each.
Other states in which one lynching
occurred are: Louisiana, Missouri and
Virginia.
Only 7 out of the 20 persons were
charged with assault upon women,
and in the case Of one Of the seven,
the janitor of the University Of Mis-
souri,, grave doubt was subsequently
cast upon the guilt Of the mobs vic
tim. Other offenses for which lynch
ings occurred include: mistaken iden-
tity, aiding in escape, associating with
white women, being in an automobile
accident, remaining in town where
Negroes were not wanted and fright
ening white children by walking
harmlessly along a country road.
Two Of the victims Of lynching mobs
were white men. One colored woman
was lynched in Pickens, Mississippi
Two main causes brought about
the decline in lynching in 1928" said
Mr.. Johnson. First was the agita-
ton on the floor Of Congress. and
throughout the country, for federal
anti-lynching bill, the measure intro
duced by Mr.. Dyer passing the last
House Of Representatives BY vote Of
$50 to 11o. The second main cause
was the northward migration of
Negroes by the hundreds Of thou
sands. This has borne in on the
South that lynching will have to be
stopped if the best labor the South
can get for its plantations and indus
tries is to be retained. Prospects for
the enactment of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill in the present Congress
are excellent, in the light Of President
Coolidge's anti-Iynching pronounce
ment in his message to Congress. It
is to be hoped that in a very few
years the crime Of Iynching viii have
been completely wiped out in Amer
lea"

''Kabnis' is a northern Negro who
goes to teach in one Of the missionary
schools Of the South This much Of
the sketch is photographed He has
no taste for missionary ways, and
hates the mawkish atmosphere Of the
place. There is a great picture at the
end of an old black man, sightless, in
articulate, representing the days Of
slavery, Of restless youth, and Of
two lewd women, all far down in the
cellar of an old building, on a South
ern night. The past is gone, there is
no future.

Negro soldiers throughout the WorlC
War. the excellent qualities Of leader
ship shown by the 1000 Negro officer;
who saw things through in France
the untiring and cheerful work Of the
Negro stevedores in laying the
groundwork for combatant troops, the
successful efforts which were made
by white and colored welfare workers
to improve the conditions of Negro
soldiers in and near their camps, and
the records Of Negro combatant
troops-this story has been told sim
ply and in straightforward manner
by Charles H. Williams, director Of
physical education for boys at Hamp-
ton Institute, in "Sidelights on Negro
Soldiers" a 2s0-page book recently
published BY B j Brimmer Company
of Boston.
Benjamin Brawley, Raleigh, N. c.
professor Of English at Shaw Univer-
sity, has written the introduction
which states the problem that the
| Negro in uniform had to face in
America and in France. This prob
lem was highly complex one and for
its solution there was required the
cooperation of many agencies.
Facts Bring Results
Charles H. Williams, because of his
long experience in executive work and
his insight into Negro character, was
selected as a special investigator Of
conditions among Negro soldiers.
With the approval and cooperation
Of the Secretary Of War and the
Adiutant General Of the Army Of the
United States, he spent total Of
eighteen months in the United States
and in France visiting those places in
which Negro troops were stationed,
with a view to getting facts and max
ing recommendation for improving
their welfare
"Sidelights on Negro Soldiers" gives
in well-arranged order the specific in
formation which is needed to show
how American Negroes met the call
to the colors; how they Jared in their
camps; how the Negro officers were
trained. in spite Of the numerous
obstacles which were placed in their
way; how the Germans attempted to
influence the Negroes to turn against
the United States; how the Negro
troops suffered in France from sys-
tematic propaganda against them
how the problems arising from camp
followers, especially women, were mel
and solved; how the ~" and other
welfare organizations ministered to
the needs of Negro soldiers, usually
with great success; how the steve
dores carried on" amid hardships and
numerous discouragements; how the
well-known o2d and o3d Divisions
were organized and trained; and how
the Negro units played their part in
helping to win the World War.
The concluding chapter, "Home
Fires" tells the story Of what was
accomplished by the Negro soldier
who won recognition on account Of
merit and who showed his fellow
