decision of the Nations highest
Courts, a number of women were
included among those who went to
vote for their choice for Mayor
Of the city.
The only incident that occurred,
which may be said to have been
of a minor nature took place at
a voting booth located in a down
town hotel. Tie incident occurred
when L. C. Wilcher, city Mail
Carrier, residing in the 33 ward,
went to the booth and asked for
ballot, declaring that he was
Democrat. After being question:
ed by the election clerk it was
decided to take the matter up
with the city election commits
sioners. After some thirty minutes
of waiting according to Wilcher's
statment, without having received
any word from the commission, an
officer came in and took his Poll
tax receipt from the clerk, gave
them back to him, took him by
the arm and ushered him out to
the street.
While Wilcher was waiting a
small crowd is reported to have
gathered, the fact that nothing of
serious nature happened being
due to the fact, according to the
reports, that a number of white
men in the group were outspoken
in their opinion that he should
be allowed to cast his vote. Fol-
lowing the election statement of
the Chairman IF the City Election
Commission was published in which
it was stated that if Negroes pre-
sented their Poll tax receipts and
their names appeared on the vot-
ing list they would be allowed to
vote, provided they took oath that
they were Democrats
The statement said further that
the vote would then be open to
challenge by any registered white
person and would, if challenged, be
placed in an envelope marked,
challenged, and placed with the
regular vote. The statement con-
Guided by saying that the election
was being conducted in accordance
with state law and any question
arising would have to be decided
by Attorney General Greek l..

Conquer Mother
Nature In East
Prove Value Of
Part They Play
In Big Struggle
BY CONRAD CLARK

AT AN ADVANCED BASE, NEW
GUINEA (AN)-The question per-
tanning to the value of Negro en-
gineers over here in the struggle
for better world of tomorrow
was recently answered with the
help of Mother Nature.
Within 48 hours after an occas-
sional downpour of rain, in real
tropical style, the Negro engineers
were given a chance to prove the
value of the part they are playing
in this global war.
Accompanying the downpour were
huge gusts of wind that left fallen
trees, blown down tents and build
ings in their wake to give work to
these builders of tomorrow. More
than half dozen bridges had been
washed away by the swollen brooks
that had been flowing from depth
of IL to 80 inches and were now
more than 10 feet of rushing des-
tructinn, carrying away everything
that was in their pathway.
REBUILD BRIDGES
For more than 10 days these
Negro engineers worked to rebuild
these bridges, and making new
roads that were badly in need of
repairs. Twenty-four hours a day
were their shifts, and from dusk
to dawn, all through rain or SUM-
shine, these bronze bodies could be
seen swinging huge hammers, driv-
ing electric cranes, electric shovels
and riveting machines. These men
were driving the latest model of
CT equipment, those mammoth
bull-dozers that are daily pushing
the jungle farther away from mans
path.
The manning Of these machines

Cecil Alfred Holsinger,
Germantown, Maryland.
Plaintiff,
VS..
Virginia Canard Holsinger,
Defendant.
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR
MONTGOMERY COUNTY,
MARYLAND,
Sitting as Court of Equity.
No. 1871 Equity.
The object of the Bill of Com
plant filed in the above entitled
cause is to procure a divorce,
VsncuLo naGtrinto1aii, by the Plaln-
tiff, Cecil Alfred Holsinger, from
the Defendant, Virginia Canard
Holsinger.
The Bill of Complaint states
that the Plaintiff, Cecil Alfred
Holsinger, is a citizen of the
United States and a resident of
Montgomery County, State of
Maryland, and has been resident
of said County and State for more
than two years Immediately pre-
ceding the filing of the Bill of
Complaint.
That the Defendants last xnown
address is Alexandria, Virginia.
That the Plaintiff and the De-
PENDANT were duly married by
Minister of the Gospel on July 8,
1882, at Warenton, Virginia.
That there have been four chill
dren born as a result of said mar
riage, to wit: Mary Ann Hol-
singer, age IL, Frances Lee Hol-
singer, age 8, Cecil Alfred Hol-
singer, Jr., age 7, and Paul Eu-
gene Holsinger, age 5.
That although the conduct of
your Orator toward the defend
ant has always been kind, affec-
tionate and above reproach, the
said Defendant, Virginia Canard
Holsinger, Notwithstanding the
conduct of the Plaintiff, did with
out just cause or reason abandon
and desert your Orator in War
renton, Virginia, on or about the
9th day Of February, 1910, and
has declared her intention to live
with him no longer. That such
abandonment has continued unin-
terruptedy for more than eighteen
months Immediately preceding the
fling of this Bill of Complaint, is
deliberate and final, and the sepa-
ration of the parties is beyond any
reasonable expectation of a recon-
Citation.
The Bill of Complaint prays
that your orator, Cecil Alfred Hol-
singer, may be divorced, viacuLO
naGtrimonii, from the defendant,
Virginia Canard Holsinger.
And for general relief.

show cause, if any she may have,
why decree ought not to be
passed herein as prayed.
