PROTEST TREASURY
DEPARTMENT s DIS
CRIMINATION MOVE.

Protest over discr: :minarion against
colored sightseers by white guides in
the Treasury Department has been
filed with Frank White, U. S. Treas
urer by the Washington Branch of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. The
letter of protest, signed by Neval H.
Thomas, President of the Washington
Branch charges that colored visitors
had been informed by the white
guides that There is nothing to be
seen" in the Treasury; or else they
were told they would have t0 wait
until enough colored visitors came
in to have a colored messenger show
them about!
This is indeed novel piece of
says the N. A. A. c.
P. letter. Beyond the memory of
anyone living all citizens of this ma
'tion have enjoyed the privilege of
visiting there without insult or hu-
mIliasion of any kind Certainly
there is no need for the Inauguration
of such an unjust policy there now.
l am sure, however, that your SUI
bordinates are not carrying out the
orders of The Treasury Department
Prompt suppression OF the discrim
fnation is asked for.

um, Famous Old health resort on
the Black Sea. -.
Amer can Negroes have given small
sums for the relief of these people
during the postwar and famine per
iods, but the Near East Relief states
that all the Negro colonies in It's ter
ritory are now prosperous, and are
contributing largely to the economic
restoration of the country.
Negro colonies are so rare IN
Russia as to excite comment. me
Armenian Negroes appear to have
entered uure country as slaves of the
Circassian princes about l6O years
ago, Later they were liberated and
setYed on the land. adopting all the
customs. manners and language or
their neighbors, Their descendants
of to-day are noted as rough riders
and trainers of horses, and also have
reputation as musicians
