Upward of 10000 delegates invaded

Housing is the big problem.
Many of the delegates are finding
it quite hard to locate homes.
Every train brings hundreds of
delegates into the city, which is
already overcrowded with delegates
and visitors. Delegates who cherish
the desire for first rate homes
soon find that they must accept

BETWEEN THE LINES
lnterraciaI Cooperation

THE UNITED NEGRO COL
LEGE fund campaign now under
way is a matter of towering impor-
lance. While it is true that the
goal set falls far short of the
pressing needs in Negro education,
such beginning is significant far
beyond our powers of computation.
1t is safe to state that the funds
realized will be small in. COM
parison with the moral comrade-
ship engendered in the campaign
itself. In other words the by
product of the campaign will far
outweigh the funds collected as
important as these are.
Interracial cooperation could find
no greater illustration and vindi-
cation than in the concerted drive
for funds for Negro colleges of
divers persuasion. The financial
lift given these struggling schools
will be PARALLEL by the moral lift
that comes of seeing racial and
UNCONVENTIONAL lines transcribed
in the interest of the general well
fare and progress. Negroes above
all minority groups are the least
prepared to sacrifice the good
that UNCONVENTIONAL competition
too often engenders. All COMPETE
ton is wasteful, but competition be-

tween Negroes over denomination
alism is most deploraple. Little by
little these UNCONVENTIONAL lines
are weakening and the impact of
this United Negro college fund
will go long way towards des-
tru. ling them as one Of the great
forces of divisionism among the
Negroes everywhere.
GREATEST INVESTMENT
The current drive is interracial,
nterdenominational, interstate, in
tersectional, Intercollegiate. inter-
generational, International and
interorganizational There can be
no greater investment of a given
fund than in the lives and future
of the struggling Negro youth who
will benefit from the United Ne
gro College fund sought in the cur
rent campaign. The success of this
campaign will be the best reproof
for these narrowminded congress-
men who trumped the effort to
have the United States govern
ment set aside $3O0,O00,0OO to as
Sist the poorer communities in
their educational program at pres
ent SO deplorably retarded Some
CT those who have deulored the
shortsightendneSs of these mis-
guided congressman Will have an
opportunity to make restitution for
them. These narrow obstructionists
are a milestone about the neck of
this nation and stumbling blocks
In the upward path of posterity.
This campaign will be con-
vincing implementation to the
profuSion of interracial declara-
tions which everywhere abound.
Tie time is at hand when We want
action and the campaign under
way gives fine opportunity for act
iCn Of the most constructive kind.
In other words the current cam
raign is brotherhood movement
and as such it must not fail. The
very thought of failure fills us

The $5OO0.OO Campaign For William
johnson Bethlehem Center

The campaign raise $4,000 for the maintenance and
support of the William Johnson Bethlehem Center being
conducted bv the Negro citizens of the city, in advance Of
and independent of the United War Funds Drive is
going under the direction of group of most out
standing Negro leaders The campaign having been made
necessary because the center droppd by the Commune
ity Chest Fund in its budget for 1914 it is imperative in
order keep alive the vital social service work that the
Center has been doing among needy Negroes of the city,
that every Negro citizen should come to of his
personal responsibility in such matter of Negro commun
ity welfare and determine contribute his utmost to rails
ing this money for the William Johnson Bethlehem Center
nuntv Chest Fund generally understood by the Negro
Public because members of the Chest Committee object
ed to its former director referring to Negroes mister and
mistress of its work and activities; the clrcun
stances under which the Center dropped from the
fund without plan or purpose for its immediate replace
ment by another such agency that there would be no
lapse in vital needed and important work the only
such agency for Negroes participating in the fund is en-
trey responsible for and made necessary this separate
and ndependen campaign the of the Negro citizens
of the city.
In the decision of the Negro leaders of the city to
conduct an independent campaign raise the $4,000 need
ed for the maintenance and support of the Center under
the present circumstances it is impossible for anyone to
fail to discern of resentment and capacity for
insult on their part as we'll that the of Ne
gro citizens of the community the recognition of which
should result in less misunderstanding of the Negroes OF
the community and result in much good in the future
gardng the conduct of the joint public responsibilities and
programs of the community
In urging that every effort be made the part of
the Negroes of the city to raise funds necessary to
maintain support the Center for the next do
so only because under circumstances there exists other
immediate comparable alternative There ought to be.
and believe there enough goodwill left between the
White and Negro leaders of the community to dissolve the
conditions which brought about this division in favor OF
the more wholesome and beneficial results of United ef
fort Such should be the plan the and distant fu
ture.

been avoided if the local police had
allowed the colo-ed MP's from Dale
Mabry field to arrest soldier in
this section. The police took things
into their own hands thereby
creating excitement among the SOL
dierse when they approached one
of the men with drawn pistols. The
soldiers then surrounded the po-
lice and would not allow them to
them to take the soldiers. He was
later removed by white MP's from
Dale Mabry.
The second affair started about
two hours later between six drunk
en- soldiers. The fight among these
soldiers was partially quelled by
the Negro MP's. When the fight
ing subsidized, It was found that
one soldier had been knocked out
by the MPs' who are armed only
With billetS. When the MP's pick
ed up the injured soldier they
were rushed by a number of Cor
don Johnston soldiers. The MP's
were outnumbered 20 to i. They
fought off the soldiers until re-
Inducements arrived bout Is SOL
diers were arrested for their part
IN the fight.
Late Brig. Gen. Holcombs, COM

Negro soldiers would be conveyed
TO Tallahassee for an indefinite
period. He issued this order in
keeping with a request from City

will be included in the program
for determining whether Negro
soldiers should be certified" as
being "most in need OFF the hotel
type of accommodation. Without
this assurance, this is viewed as a
weak spot In the program, Offering
Ioophole to keep Negroes out of
the hotel centers after the camps
are established.

Indignation of white a nd Negro

segregation in these phases of the
Army's program has been in ,ef-
feet all along.
ARMY CAMP PHASE
AS for the Army camp phase of
the Redistribution Center program
proposed for the future, the Army
says: Under the new Redistribu-
ton Program, certain of those Ar
my camps which are better Sit
uated and more attractive will be
selected for use as Redistribution
Centers. Many such camps are be-
coming available through TIL e
movement Of troops overseas"
Persons familiar with the usual
Army plan of operation are eau
tioning Negroes to watch closely
to see that when this phase of
the Army program Is put into eff
feet that Negroes are not herded
into Southern camps where their
opportunities for relaxation and
recreation will be hampered by
the traditions and customs of that
section.
The upshot of the Army's an
nouncement for the present Is
that Negroes will be integrated In
the centers at Lake Placid, N. Y.
and Atlantic City, N. j.; that the
Pershing and Theresa Hotels will
not be seized as originally propo.
sed; and that a tremendous step
has been taken in combating jim
